    Zhou Guiren looked at these people with great interest.

    "Oh?" she said, "King Guangling just did some things to buy land and distribute it to the people. What's the point? As far as my concubine knows, the redemption price of King Guangling is not very low, but it is more expensive than the local sages.  The price they offer is cheap."

    Hearing this, Zhou Yue was secretly startled.

    Even he was not very clear about this matter. He did not expect Zhou Guiren, a concubine who lived deep in the palace, to speak clearly and clearly.

    An elderly man who looked at him shook his head, his expression somber: "Although the sages and heroes of the village have never suffered in terms of price, the King of Guangling has done this very tyrannically. Whether they want it or not, the land designated by the King of Guangling is the same.  Take it away, I can't tolerate half a word. I waited to see what happened with King Guangling in Shuofang. I'm afraid that once he takes power in the future, this method will also be implemented. Noble person, there are so many sages and heroes in the world.  For thousands of years, the emperors of all dynasties have treated them kindly. If King Guangling implements such a bad policy, it will inevitably lead to great chaos, and the harm will be far worse than Yuan's chaos!"

    Others responded one after another, and another said: "I am not the only one. Hearing about the tyranny of King Guangling, heroes from all over Heluo are outraged. The world must not fall into the hands of King Guangling!"

    Zhou Guiren looked at them, nodded his head and sighed: "Everyone who is concerned about the country and the people, came here without hesitation, how can my concubine stay out of it? To tell you the truth, this palace is full of eyes and ears of King Guangling. The Holy One is trapped in it.  I can't help myself. With the help of everyone at the moment, why worry about the failure of the big thing? The Holy One must be gratified!"

    When everyone heard the words, they all showed joy.

    After a secret discussion, Zhou Yue led the crowd to bid farewell to nobleman Zhou and leave the palace.

    When passing through the palace courtyard, two people couldn't help looking up.

    "What's wrong?" Zhou Yue asked.

    "Can you hear the buzzing sound?" One person asked, "Are there any wasps in this season?"

    Zhou Yue also looked up, only to see that the sun was shining brightly, and there were no wasps anywhere.

    The servant leading the way said: "There have been wasps in this palace recently, but they fly so fast that they can't be found. Don't panic, everyone, they don't sting."

    In the hall, Zhou Guiren was still sitting on the couch, took a look at the box of gold, raised his hand, and asked the palace servants to put it away.

    "These Luoyang tyrants know the current affairs." Zhou Cheng got the news, walked over, and smiled, "I was thinking about how to persuade them to follow us. Unexpectedly, they came here voluntarily. It's God's help  I also."

    Seeing his complacent look, Zhou Guiren still had a cold face: "There is nothing to be happy about. Even if they are willing to send troops and food, we are the ones who will take the lead."

    "Even so, these people are very shrewd, and it's rare for them to come here to vote today." Zhou Cheng said, flatteringly pouring tea for Zhou Guiren, "It's my sister's plan, you don't even need lobbyists.  , let them go on the road obediently.¡±

    Guiren Zhou picked up the teacup and smiled faintly.

    "If King Guangling didn't do those things himself, no matter how many people I invite to come, those tyrannical tyrants like grass will not be tempted." She said, "It's his own crime to give someone a handle."

    The New Deal implemented by King Guangling in Shuofang is a real thing.  After she got the wind, she invited several Shuofang tyrants who complained about King Guangling to Luoyang for a tour.

    According to them, what King Guangling did in Shuofang was heinous. Not only did he confiscate a large area of ??their land, but he also ordered the population to be counted. Regardless of whether he was a scholar or a commoner, he had to pay taxes according to the head of the family.

    Conscience of heaven and earth.

    These wealthy and powerful families have bought land a lot for many years, and slavery has become commonplace. As long as there is an official in the family, they will be covered by the law of preferential treatment for scholars. Have you ever heard of the word taxation?  Now that it is in the hands of King Guangling, not only the land will be confiscated, but even those servants and maidservants who they regard as cattle and horses have become human beings and have to pay taxes on their heads.

    Therefore, each of the tyrants in Shuofang is counted as one, and all of them are miserable.

    The lost large piece of land is another thing to say, let alone slaves, which ones are not hundreds or thousands, and the tax is calculated on a head-by-head basis, and a layer of oil has to be scraped off every year.  In order not to be so painful, the tyrants had to find another way.  Either allow the slaves to redeem themselves, or resell them in order to avoid losses.

    And what happened to the large number of slaves who were released?

    King Guangling organized them into households as refugees and filled them with the people in Shibian, distributed land, houses and farm tools, let them cultivate by themselves, and paid grain every year like tenants.

    It is said that because of this incident, King Guangling's reputation among the army and people in Shuofang is as high as the sky; but what about the powerful?  Although alsoThey received a large amount of money for redemption, but in fact they lost their land and people. Those slaves who were inferior to pigs and dogs in their eyes have now turned into good people, living happily in the original land of the powerful.

    The god damn King Guangling is simply not human.

    "But I still don't understand, why is Guangling King?" Zhou Chengdao, "It's so good, why should he have trouble with Hao Qiang?"

    Zhou Guiren glanced at him: "It's good? Do you really think this is something that can be born? Shuofang is in the northwest, which is a rare fertile and rich land, but five or six out of ten are in the hands of these tyrants. If King Guangling doesn't  Snatching land and people from them, where does he get the money and food to raise hundreds of thousands of troops?"

    Zhou Cheng was stunned: "The money and food for raising soldiers is not the imperial court"

    "Imperial court?" Zhou Guiren sneered, "The national treasury has long since bottomed out. The Holy Majesty couldn't afford the disaster relief. Last year, he wanted to repair the palace. He called the ministers to ask, but finally gave up. Why do you think the Yuan family can do it?"  With such great power, how could he summon many soldiers by himself? Before the majesty was rescued, why did the princes of all parties watch Yuan's rebellion, and all of them stood aside? Isn't it all because of money and food."

    Zhou Cheng understood.

    Speaking of which, Zhou's is not like this.  Most of the fertile land in the land of Heluo is in the hands of tyrants, the biggest of which is the Zhou family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wealth is incomparable to the country.

    ?When the states and counties encounter difficulties, it is more useful to discuss with the tyrants than with the imperial court. Over time, it is inevitable that the various places will be separated from each other.

    "It's no wonder that the sage came to such a field, and he still didn't call you to discuss military and state affairs." Zhou Shi hated iron and steel, and said coldly, "You don't even know these things. How can I expect Zixian to win the world in the future?  Are you here to help?"

    When Zhou Cheng heard this, he quickly apologized: "I don't know what my sister said, I just can't remember it for a while."

    As he spoke, he changed the topic: "But now that King Guangling has arrived in the capital, I heard that His Highness is still killing the remnants of the Yuan family on the outskirts. Your Highness is so dawdling, if the capital is occupied by King Guangling, then"

    "He took the capital?" Zhou Guiren sneered, "Don't worry, even if we are willing, will Mrs. Yuan be willing?"

    The ending needs to be revised. For the time being, it will be updated at 8:10 a.m. every day, and the full text of this month will be over.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
