Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 478: Offer suggestions

 It has been three years since Li Ling ascended the throne. Li Ling worked hard to govern. Under his rule, Da Qi has gradually got rid of poverty and weakness and began to gradually become prosperous and strong.

These days, Li Ling has encountered troubles.

Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the power of the powerful has been growing day by day. These powerful people are greedy and compete for land. As a result, the common people have no land to cultivate. They can only spend a lot of money to rent land from the powerful people to plant crops. Most of the harvest is stolen by the powerful people. Even if the weather is good, there won't be much left at the end of the year.

In the past few years, Li Ling has purified the imperial court and vigorously promoted young and promising people. The time has come to reform the power of the powerful. Li Ling has revised the regulations to strictly prohibit the enclosure of land by the powerful. However, there are many obstacles in the implementation of the law.

  Many powerful people were even willing to sacrifice their lives rather than their wealth, going so far as to blatantly defy the rules.

This made Li Ling very angry. He issued a strict order to arrest a group of powerful people who still defied the rules, intending to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but it had little effect.

As dusk fell, Jingshu waited in Jiaofang Hall for a long time for Li Ling to return. She guessed that Li Ling must still be worried about the political affairs of the circle reform. Jingshu went to the kitchen to cook a few snacks and took them to Qinzheng Hall. .

As soon as Jing Shu walked to the front of the hall, Li Dequan bowed to greet her and muttered: "Oh, empress, you are here. Your Majesty is worried inside and didn't even bother to eat dinner." , please go in quickly and give me some advice."

Jingshu said: "It's okay! I brought the food over." After saying that, she walked into the imperial study.

Li Ling has always doted on his wife, so naturally he allowed Jingshu to enter and leave the imperial study at will without having to pass on the news.

 “I heard you didn’t even have dinner?”

Li Ling was frowning and writing furiously in front of the imperial case. Suddenly he heard his wife's voice. He raised his head suddenly, and the expression on his face instantly relaxed, and he said, "It's so late, why are you here again?"

"So you also know that it's too late now!" Jing Shu glared at Li Ling, then put the food box she brought on the table in front of the window, turned to Li Ling and said, "Let's eat something first, no. How can my body bear to eat?"

Li Ling put down his imperial pen, raised his hand to rub his brows, and complained to his wife: "The imperial court has indulged these powerful people for so many years. They have been raised to a point where they are extremely greedy and insensitive. It is really irritating."

Jing Shu walked behind her husband, raised her hands and gently rubbed Li Ling's shoulders, and persuaded: "It has been more than three hundred years since the founding of Da Qi, and the enclosure of land by the powerful has a history of more than a hundred years. changed."

Li Ling closed his eyes and murmured while enjoying his wife's caress: "If the people can't live a good life, I, the king of the world, will not be able to live in peace."

As he said that, he turned to look at his wife: "Do you still remember what we saw on the road to the south together when we were newly married?"

When Li Ling went to southern Xinjiang, Jingshu went with him to his uncle's house in Chaozhou. At that time, the five cities there were occupied by the Gaoshan Kingdom, so they could only take a detour. During the nearly month-long trip, Jingshu met too many people. The suffering is such that the poor people who do not have enough to eat are willing to sell their children and daughters in order to survive. When passing through remote villages, even tragic scenes of starvation and death are common.

These tragic scenes in the world had shaken Jing Shu's heart violently at that time, how could she forget them.

Jing Shu sighed and said: "As a monarch, it is natural to take the people of the world as your own responsibility. Only when the people are rich can the country be strong. My husband's painstaking efforts for the people of the world can be felt deeply by me."

Li Ling frowned and replied: "After the founding of the country, the ancestors of the Zhao family were grateful for the hard work and meritorious service of the ministers who accompanied the conquering of the world, so they gave them many privileges. This custom of enclosing land was left from then. Over the past few hundred years, this The problem has been left for a long time, and the powerful powerful people are huge. Although the previous emperors wanted to reform, they were unable to do so. Although I have issued strict orders now, although these powerful people dare not enclosure the land anymore, most of the fertile land is already under their control. They If the land that was once enclosed is not released, the land left for the people to cultivate will be a drop in the bucket."

Li Ling looked at his wife and said leisurely: "I also know that this matter cannot be rushed, but if we don't use thunderous means, I am afraid that it will be delayed for another ten or eight years, and it still cannot be cured."

  When mentioning this, Li Ling's face gradually became serious, and he said cruelly: "I plan to take heavy measures to suppress these powerful people. Anyone who dares to openly defy the rules will be beheaded."

"This is too radical." Jing Shu looked at her husband and said slowly: "You have just ascended the throne not long ago, and now the DPRK and the Central Committee have decided. The relationships between these powerful people are intricately intertwined. If you are too aggressive and intensify the conflicts, I am afraid it will provoke Isn’t it more difficult for them to rebel?”

Li Ling was naturally concerned about this issue. He sighed slightly when he heard the words: "You think the same as me, but if you don't take risks, it will be easy for these powerful people to compromise."

Jingshu’s eyes moved slightly and she suggested, “I have a way.”

She looked at Li Ling and said slowly: "The most important thing for a powerful family is the future of their children. My husband can use a simple method to release land and buy officials." When Li Ling heard this, he said with concern: "This is a good idea. It's just that if these children of powerful people are good, that's all. If they are dandies who don't know how to make progress, even if they become officials, they will be mediocre people. Isn't it true that the country has raised them in vain?"

Jing Shu replied: "If it's good, you can use it. If it's not good, you can find a reason to get rid of him after two years. Compared with the large tracts of land that have been released, the salary of these three or two years is nothing." What? The land has been returned to the hands of the people. By then, it will be too late for them to regret it. "

Jingshu blinked and continued: "There are some of those disciples who really can't be mentioned. If my husband is worried that they will miss their mission, he can also reward them with titles. After a few years, he can find a reason to take them back."

After hearing what his wife said, Li Ling's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he scratched the tip of his wife's nose with his curled finger: "You are so cunning! You little rascal, this trick of yours is quite bad!"

Jingshu retorted: "How can I be a good emperor if I just be a good old man?"

Li Ling smiled and nodded, then touched his stomach and said, "I suddenly felt very hungry. What kind of food did you bring?"

Jingshu pulled Li Ling to the desk and placed the food in the food box in front of him one by one: "I made them all by myself. They are still hot. Use them quickly."

Li Ling picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite. He nodded and said, "It's true that your craftsmanship is genuine."

Jing Shu said angrily: "Can I still trick you?"

Li Ling looked at his wife tenderly and joked: "Someone is cunning and tricked me with the snacks made by others? I just learned a lesson from the experience."

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and said with a smile: "That was eight hundred years ago. You really hold a grudge."

 Li Ling laughed and replied: "Over the years, I can tell the difference in Madam's craftsmanship just by smelling it. No matter how hard you try to trick me, you can't do it."
