Li Zhifeng shook his head, completely incomprehensible, but finally nodded.
You Miao didn't dare to say anything about Zhao Chao's marriage. Anyway, he suppressed it. If he told Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng would have to take a knife and break into the palace. This guy can do anything.
"And this." You Miao took out the official document from the Ministry of War and handed it to Li Zhifeng: "I will let you go to suppress the bandits."
Li Zhifeng glanced casually, nodded and said, "Got it."
You Miao added: "It is very difficult to fight against the common people."
Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao, You Miao said, "They are all Han people, you can kill them like the Hu people, you can't justify it, and you can't make a move. Just spare them, they may not be merciful when they are fighting, but they will not be merciful. Harm your own people. It's very difficult to do, think twice before you start, focus on recruiting surrender, and don't kill indiscriminately."
Li Zhifeng nodded.
The two remained silent in the tent, looked at each other for a moment, and You Miao laughed.
Li Zhifeng was puzzled and raised his eyebrows with a questioning look.
You Miao shook his head, and Li Zhifeng stretched out a hand towards him. You Miao walked over and asked him to hold him. The two cuddled together and did not speak until the time when the lantern was in hand, when the military talisman of the Ministry of War came. thing. Write rations, order troops, and issue general orders.
On the surface, You Miao was confident, but in his heart he was very worried about Li Zhifeng's expedition, and now he was afraid of civil upheaval. And I am afraid of what will happen, I am afraid that if the imperial court suppresses it, people in southern Yangzhou and Jiaozhou will rebel. He gradually understood why Sun Yu said that this expedition was crucial.
In order to quell the robbers in the south, it is necessary to put pressure on the imperial court and the local nobility at the same time. Li Zhifeng is out to fight the rogues, and You Miao has to push through the opposition and implement new laws. Supplemented by Zhao Chao's thunder method, he might be able to complete the most ruthless change in hundreds of years.
Three days later, when Li Zhifeng set off for the expedition, Zhao Chao personally came to send him off. The two had a conversation, but You Miao told the new superintendent, Xie Quan. This Xie Quan was specially sent by Pingxi. The nobles must have the children of the Jiangnan aristocratic family to deal with. You Miao was still not at ease. He took Xie Quan's hand and said, "Master Xie, I will trouble you with this."
Xie Quan knew the importance and nodded, "Brother You, don't worry, of course he did his best."
You Miao also ordered someone to bring taels of silver and said, "If you want food over there, you can take a note and send it in the military newspaper together, and I'll find a way."
Xie Quan nodded again and again, and You Miao let him go.
Li Zhifeng's army set out. Although there were a lot of words between the ruler and the minister, no one had any lofty ambitions. I was afraid that if this happened, I don't know how many Han people would die at the hands of their own people.
Who is to blame? No one can blame it.
The next day after Li Zhifeng set off on the expedition, You Miao eloquently ripped through the memorial, more than 20,000 words, and finally attacked the court.
Today, Sun Yu said that he was ill, and You Miao stood alone in the hall, and the entire early court had become his battlefield. You Miao was already prepared, and many civil officials were also prepared, and in an instant they became tense.
Jiangnan Tang, Xie, and Lin are all big surnames, accounting for 60% of the courtroom. The first to retaliate was Tang Yu, Tang Bo's distant cousin. Although they belong to the same generation, they are over forty years old. . As soon as he heard this, he said, "Didn't we discuss it once at the beginning of the year? I have already said everything that should be said. What is the reason for the political affairs hall to bring up the old things at this moment?"
You Miao said: "At this moment, at that moment, I didn't know that there would be a severe drought in Jiangnan before the year."
"Before the year, I thought this method was not feasible." Tang Yu said: "It is still not feasible now, autumn is about to begin in the south, and people in Jiangzhou are panicked. They only paid the tax once in May, and now they have to divide the fields equally, I am afraid that each The family is separated, Your Majesty, please think twice."
The Tang Dynasty official to the Ministry of Works Minister, planting fields, repairing water conservancy, and redistributing fields all have to pass the Ministry of Works. Censor Lin Zhengtao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the hearts of the people are back, which is more important, it is clear at a glance, the imperial court has sent troops to quell the chaos in Jiangzhou, just wait for the spring of the next year, and everything will be resolved naturally."
You Miao said: "Li Zhifeng has already led his troops to the expedition, but this matter is related to people's livelihood and cannot be suppressed by force. Ladies and gentlemen, there was a flood last year, a drought this year, and if there is another natural disaster next year, how should we deal with it? At this time, it has reached the most critical moment. Apocalypse moves southward, and the localities are unstable. There are millions of refugees. From last year to this year, the number of refugees who have fled south and have no land to farm has reached 700,000…”
"Because of this." Tang Yan said: "I only need stability. Three months ago, Sun Canzhi was also concerned about this problem. Where is the foundation of Apocalypse today..."
"It's up to the people." You Miao didn't wait for what Tang Yu said, and interrupted first.
Tang Yan had an angry look on his face, and said coldly, "It really depends on the people. If Juntian doesn't implement it, with the strength of the southern family, in three years and five years, millions of refugees can be slowly digested and engaged in production. You. Even if we recklessly equalize fields, it will cost a lot of money from the budget in the DPRK to the local government, including millions of manpower and material resources, why not wait until the spring and leave it to the local government to handle it?”
"Let it be handled by the locality." You Miao said rudely, "Can you handle it? The food for disaster relief this year is the best example. Your Majesty has ordered 200,000 shi of grain since July, and now it's almost October. The amount of food that came up was less than 100,000 stone, and if the law is not changed now, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death in Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and Liuzhou in winter!”
Lin Zhengtao sneered and said, "I don't know how Master You's account is calculated. After the reforms are made, will the fields be able to grow rice immediately? Can they be stored in the warehouse for food and drink? The hundreds of thousands of people are not waiting for the spring. , can you fill your stomach?"
You Miao: "Naturally, rice will not grow in the fields immediately, but people's hearts will be stabilized immediately. What the refugees want is just arable land, a bite to eat, and the reformation will be announced. Set aside to go to disaster relief…”
Tang Yu said: "Master You, you want to go to their fields, and at the same time you want to let various prominent families open warehouses for disaster relief, this idea is really good, then you will have to go and persuade them yourself."
You Miao secretly said that these two guys are really cunning and cunning, and they are not comparable to Tang Bo and others in the political affairs hall. As a young man in his twenties, standing in the imperial court is really not enough.
Zhao Chao didn't know how to speak for a while, and looked at Xie Hui, the minister of households. Xie Hui never said anything to agree with Tang Yu and Lin Zhengtao.
