"People need money to support them. They haven't become officials yet, and they will only need to spend more money after they become officials." Yang Houye said: "Your cousin is also a member of the Yang family. After all, Yang Rong is her elder brother. How do you know that she is not willing to take the blame for Yang Rong? Yang Rong pleaded guilty, Yang needs to pay too much... "
"Father," Yang Heshu burned the letter in his hand, and suddenly raised his head to interrupt him, "Do you know what I want to do?"
Lord Yang was taken aback, "What?"
"The operations of the various families in Jiangnan are too much. Don't worry, not only the Yang family will be expelled from the interests of Jiangnan in the future, but other families will also be expelled, so you don't have to worry that the Yang family will be excluded because of this, and today Yang's early withdrawal will only benefit us, not harm."
Yang Houye stared blankly at Yang Heshu, and it took him a while to react. He pointed at him with trembling hands and asked, "You, are you crazy? Even the emperor dare not attack all the families together. Do you think we are the only ones in the south of the Yangtze River?" Aristocratic family? Then there are so many ministers in the court, even Zhao Guogong’s family, it’s not clean in Jiangnan.”
Yang He wrote: "Father, the people's livelihood is what is taken from the people and used by the people. Everyone uses the extravagance of the south of the Yangtze River, and even spends half of the state of Jin. Where will the people and the emperor of the world be placed?"
For a long time, he was talking to him about the development and future of the family, but what he was talking about was the future of the country and the people.
Yang Houye let out a breath of anger, got up and left.
He said one more word to him, and he spurted out the blood from his heart.
Yang Houye turned around and left the study room, angrily went to the main courtyard, halfway there he suddenly became angry, his chest was burning with anger, but he felt relieved at the same time, his heart was complicated for a while, so he just sat down on the flower bed by the roadside daze.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he really wanted to turn around and ask Yang Heshu again, who would give all the money to expel their forces from Jiangnan
Emperor
It was all given to the royal family, do you know how dangerous it is
But deep down in his heart, he faintly felt that the answer was not this, that his son didn't love the emperor as much as he showed.
Seeing his master sitting on the edge of the flower bed in a daze, the entourage couldn't help worrying, "Master, it's cool on the bricks..."
Only then did Yang Houye feel his butt was cold, and he helped his hand to get up.
The entourage asked cautiously: "Over there at Dali Temple..."
Yang Houye closed his eyes, clenched his hands, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter, let someone go to Jiangnan, and get back as much money as you can get back, and even some properties that can be hidden Hiding them all, if you can't hide them, take them back..."
Let's save people first.
The entourage responded, and sent Yang Houye back to the main courtyard first, then took Yang Houye's palm and hurried out, and took people to Jiangnan overnight.
As soon as he left, Qianmu went to report to Yang Heshu, "The second housekeeper brought a lot of dry food, and he should be going out far away. Looking at the direction, he is going out of the East City Gate."
Yang Heshu nodded slightly, and said: "They have at least ten days longer than the palace, and how much they can hide depends on their ability."
Qianmu couldn't help asking: "Won't the young master help them?"
Yang Heshu shook his head slowly, "Let each of them go according to their own ability, you prepare, and leave for Xiazhou after the winter solstice, and check the situation inside and outside Xiazhou, our life may not be too easy when we go out of Beijing this time .”
Qian Mu agreed, bowed and retreated.
Wan Mu asked, "Master, how much should we bring to Xiazhou this time?"
"You can bring as much as you can. This time, you may have to stay in the north for several years." Yang Heshu thought of the child and laughed. Enlightenment can also be used.”
"yes."
At this time, the emperor was meeting the prince, Yin Li and Wei Zhi in the small study.
He handed over a stack of things in his hand to Yin Li and Wei Zhi, and said, "This is something the prince found out, please take a look."
Yin Li and Wei Zhi split half of each other, and began to scan the past ten lines at a glance. The more they looked, the more shocked they felt.
Wei Zhi couldn't help standing up from his seat and asked, "Your Majesty, who made the statistics?"
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and said, "The Ministry of Household Affairs."
Yin Li put the things in his hands together and looked at the emperor. Wei Zhi couldn't help but angrily said, "This is the national fly!"
The emperor sighed and said: "Jiangnan is too far away, I can't reach it, and the Wang family, Cui family and other families traveled south and operated in Jiangnan for more than a hundred years, even if I want to, I can't do it."
Wei Zhi glanced at the things in his hands and felt powerless.
There is no way around this, the emperor and even the imperial court are more powerful in Longxi and the north, and the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is political power or military power, most of them are in the hands of each family.
Wei Zhi suddenly thought of the King of Yizhou. When he wanted to rebel, the money and food were all from Jiangnan. Even the Duke of Yu County, who was an official at home, heard some news...
This shows the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wei Zhi simply raised his head and asked the emperor, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?"
"Half of the world's salt tax comes from Jiangnan, not to mention that there are good trees and fields there. If the wealth in Jiangnan can be used for the people of the world, instead of just supporting a few families, the people of the world will be rich."
Wei Zhi and Yin Li looked at each other, then knelt down, "But according to His Majesty's order."
The emperor pointed to the crown prince and said: "I have decided to hand over this matter to the crown prince and Wei Qing. This time, we will start with the Yang family. You select good talents and insert them. When the time comes, Jiangnan should also be purged. "
The crown prince also got up and knelt down, and he answered with Wei Zhi.
The emperor said to Yin Li: "Yin Aiqing is too tired, let's discipline the children of each family here in the capital."
This is to make Yin Li attract firepower.
Yin Li also bowed his head in response.
Wei Zhi still has another question, "Your Majesty, will the recovered land, real estate and saltworks be returned to the state treasury or private treasury?"
If it was the national treasury, he would naturally be willing to die, but if it was the private treasury...
The emperor originally planned to put half and half, such as land and salt fields, into the household department, but real estate, and some other messy things, such as books, paintings, antiques, all kinds of precious wood, medicinal materials, etc. The class is stuffed into the private library.
But when Wei Zhi raised his head and stared at him with piercing eyes, the emperor could only change his words: "Naturally, he returned to the treasury."
Wei Zhi was relieved when he got the emperor's promise, and pretended not to see the emperor's aggrieved, he got up and retreated after saluting and accepting the order.
The prince also wanted to go out to discuss with Wei Zhi what to do about this matter, so he also resigned.
When the people left, the emperor said aggrievedly to Yin Li: "Wei knows that this guy is really annoying, and I didn't say to fight for the interests of the people, and it's useless to put those things in the treasury..."
Yin Li pretended not to hear, but asked, "Your Majesty, when will the trial at Dali Temple come down?"
They are also famous for learning from others.
The emperor's attention was diverted, and he said, "It's almost time for Xiu Mu to come back."
