Da Wei Chun

Chapter 617 Differentiation
A group of gentry stared fixedly at Li Chengzhi.

There are those who are skeptical, and there are also those who are surprised...

Only a very few people know Li Chengzhi's identity, just like Ren's.But they all kept their mouths shut and bowed their heads in silence.

And most of them are guessing Li Chengzhi's identity, wondering who this is, without the permission of Li Shiliang, the leader of Xihai, who dare to shout?
Besides, what do you mean by taking off your turban?
Even if you want to make a move, you should roll your sleeves...

But Zhao Xian's complexion suddenly froze, and his two cloudy eyes seemed to be nailed to Li Chengzhi's body.

Although he didn't recognize Li Chengzhi, he had heard countless rumors about Li Chengzhi.

Blessed by heaven and man, a genius in the world, Lang Du is absolutely gorgeous, unparalleled in the world...

With more than [-] retainers, he raised an army, quelled the rebellion of the monks, and settled Jingzhou...

Enter the Northland alone, conquer Woye, destroy Dulun...

In the battle against Chen Cang, the famous Southern Liang generals Chang Yizhi and Pei Sui were defeated, Yu Zhong and Yuan Ji were executed, and Yuan Li was captured...

Among them, the most talked about is that he rescued him many times, and then he was overly sad because of the late emperor Bintian, and his hair turned white overnight.

Whiteheads overnight?
Seeing Li Shiliang bowed slightly, very humble, Zhao Xian's mind buzzed.

Li Chengzhi!
When did he come to Hexi?
No wonder after the Qingming Dynasty, Li Shiliang went uncharacteristically, no longer being gentle with the scholars, but pressed on every step of the way, as if he wanted to kill them all?
In all likelihood, it was the intention of Li Chengzhi.

Based on this calculation, Li Chengzhi has been in Xihai for four months. Doesn't it mean that he has already left the court, otherwise how could he have been away from Beijing for so long?
The more he guessed, the more anxious Zhao Xian became, and his face turned pale uncontrollably.

What happened today seems to have come out of nowhere, but in fact it was premeditated, and he, Zhao Xian, was the black hand who made the plan.

It was he who secretly bewitched, saying that the Zhao family and the Ren family were related by marriage, and the Ren family was Li Shiliang's wife, so he would definitely protect everyone.

Otherwise, how could the necks of these scholars be so hard?

Furthermore, this is not a rebellion or a defection, but just uniting scholars to appeal for injustice, which is reasonable.Therefore, even if Li Shiliang found out that the Zhao family was planning secretly, at most he would reprimand him.

But who would have expected that Li Chengzhi is now in charge of Xihai?
Although these two are uncles and nephews, they are very different.

The former is smooth and slick, and he always leaves a bit of leeway when doing things.And he was born in a family, so he favored the gentry.

And the latter is the God of Killing who fought from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, with more than tens of thousands of lives in his hands?

Only in the battle of Chencang, he crossed the sea, smuggled nearly [-] households from Qin and Liang states to Xihai, and you can see how bold and ambitious Li Chengzhi is?
And such a character, how could he pity the lives of more than a hundred people?

What made Zhao Xian even more terrified was that he had obviously fallen into Li Chengzhi's scheme today.

Where the hell did it go wrong?
Zhao Xian raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes were full of fear.

Most of the people around are confused and don't know why.Some people were speculating about the origin of this person who dared to overstep in front of Li Shijun, and some people were wondering why Zhao Changshi (Zhao Xian had served as the governor of Longxi County) had a sudden change of face, panic and anxiety.

Only the members of the Ren family lowered their brows and drooped their eyes, hanging their heads in silence, like old monks in meditation.

It's Ren's!
And even Li Shiliang didn't know about it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't look thoughtful and suddenly enlightened at this time.

What a traitor, how could he plan so deeply?

After that?

Under torture, what can I ask for, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide...

Zhao Xian was filled with remorse and hatred in his heart, his face covered with age spots had lost even a trace of blood.But his body was extremely honest, and he knelt down with a "plop".

"The grassroots are guilty, Wanwang Guogong will open up the Internet, and keep my Zhao family's incense..."

Li Guogong... Li Chengzhi?

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the expressions of the scholars around them all changed in astonishment.

If it weren't for Li Chengzhi, how could Yuanhuai have failed, and how could they have been taken captive to Hexi?

Looking at Zhao Xian again, he had already thrown himself to the ground, wishing he could stick his head into the ground.Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his whole body was trembling.

No matter how stupid a group of scholars are, they also know that disaster is imminent.Those who saw the opportunity the fastest were the Zhao family's children, and dozens of them knelt down in just a few breaths.

Then came the Ren family. The reason why they knelt down was that they didn't want to expose the fact that they had become Li's lackeys so early.

Then it collapsed like a wall and collapsed, and he fell to his knees on the ground.More than a hundred soldiers stood in place, holding the rope in a daze: Is it tied or not?

All the retainers of the Li family, and the old Jingzhou Ministry, all had stars in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to shout: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Just now these scholars were so noisy and fearless, they had the attitude of "you can kill grandpa if you have the ability".But Mr. Lang didn't say a word, and he didn't report his family name. He just took off his crown and scarf, and made these scholars kneel down and bow their heads, silent like cicadas.

Let me ask, is the emperor coming in person, is there such majesty?

Li Shiliang sighed secretly.

He guessed that Li Chengzhi had grown dissatisfied with him, complaining that he was too tolerant of scholars.

Otherwise, why bypass him and conspire with the Ren family?

Li Chengzhi didn't know Li Shiliang's thoughts, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

At this time, his behavior was a big treason, a perverse act, and Li Shiliang saw a ghost when he could understand, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction at all, let alone any grievances.

He was tired of pulling back and forth, and he didn't want to waste energy and time, so he cut the mess quickly...

Li Chengzhi waved his hand towards Li Xiaoxian, Li Xiaoxian gave a deep shout, and more than a hundred soldiers retreated to both sides like mud cut by a plow.

With such a military appearance, all the scholars were even more astonished, and they didn't even dare to breathe out.

Looking at Zhao Xian who was kneeling on the ground, crying, Li Chengzhi sighed leisurely: "Seeing the opportunity so quickly, it shows that you are not a dull person. But why do you have to go out of your way and take risks by chance?"

"Grassman... Guilty!"

Zhao Xian knocked his head heavily on the ground, as if he was choked up and speechless.

Li Chengzhi's eyes were so sharp, even though he only took a quick glance, he could still see the trace of resentment in Zhao Xian's eyes.

What an old guy, not only can he adapt to the wind, but he is also very good at acting?
Let me forgive you for today, let's take the rest slowly...

"It's good if you know you're guilty!"

Li Chengzhi took two steps forward and walked in front of Zhao Xianshen, "I just said that Li will not kill people today. But capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped:
From now on, regardless of whether you are a descendant or concubine, all those who have reached the age of fifteen and have married wives in your Zhao family will be divided into households.All the fields of your Zhao family will be divided equally among the families in the clan... The land cannot be gathered in one place, and the people cannot live in the same house. Would you like it? "

Separate households, fields, and living apart?
Zhao Xian suddenly had a sliver of understanding: May this be the purpose of coming to Li Chengzhi today?
He is both happy and hated.

The joy is that this old life is saved, and the children of the clan will not be implicated. There is no need to die, and the official status of the township head and party head can be kept.

What I hate is that Li Chengzhi's move is clearly an imitation of Liu Bang's trick to divide the six kingdoms.And it must be more than that, it will definitely make the Zhao family fall apart.

But now that the knife is resting on his neck, how dare he have any reason?

It's better than Li Chengzhi using this as an excuse to copy and kill everyone...

He kowtowed his head heavily again, and replied in a mournful voice: "The grass people have thousands of wishes!"

"it is good!"

Li Chengzhi nodded slightly, looked at the other people kneeling on the ground, and asked loudly, "What do you want?"

First, the disciples of the Ren family said almost in unison: "The Duke of the state has an order, so don't dare to disobey it!"

Then the rest of the people also reacted, and responded sparsely.

It's not very neat, and you can guess with your toes that there are many people who are dissatisfied.But Li Chengzhi was already very satisfied.

He pointed at Li Song: "It will be done today!"

Li Song took the order, and Li Chengzhi waved his sleeves again: "The ground is wet, all the old folks, stand up and answer!"

Everyone thanked them repeatedly, and when they got up, they heard Li Chengzhi say: "I know that today's action is very funny in everyone's eyes. But Li Mou invited everyone here today, and it is not for brainstorming, let alone learning. I just ask everyone to do it. A testimony, by the way to watch the ceremony. Besides, there are a few other small things I want to inform you..."

Li Chengzhi paused for a while, and his expression became more serious: "First, from now on, Li Mou will offer a sacrifice to the university, and sincerely invites people with lofty ideals to serve as doctors in various fields. call...

Second, from now on, Xihai and Zhenyi plan to build 38 children's schools. Anyone who is suitable for immature children, regardless of gender, can enroll in the school. Anyone who knows how to read, write, and is good at economics and justice can apply for a doctorate...

University Ph.D., Shu Xiu tentatively set hardware every month, Tong Xue Ph.D. halved.Except for the land tax and corvee are exempted, and I and my children are not limited to the old rules, if they have the ability, the county magistrate, prefect, brigade commander, and military leader can do whatever they want..."

Hearing the first two sentences, everyone still didn't take it seriously, thinking that this Li Chengzhi was really going against the grain: those who are good at economics and righteousness can only teach children's studies, but a university doctor only needs to have a skill?

Could it be that an old farmer and a blacksmith come to you?

And when I heard the last sentence, I couldn't sit still.

It's just that Dr. Tong Xue actually got two and a half gold in one month?
It sounds like a small amount, but it counts as a lot, because the "gold" of Xihai is very different from the "gold" of Luoyang.

Today's Xihai circulates new coins without square holes, but a small hole drilled at the end for strings.Not only is it as bright as real gold, with exquisite cloud patterns printed on it, but also without a trace of lead.

Nowadays, whether it is an official history or a soldier, the monthly salaries issued by the Western Sea are all this kind of copper coins.

Although there was an official provision, it said that one gold could be exchanged for two stones of corn or wheat, or two horses of silk, or four sheep for each yamen warehouse department.But after being circulated to the people, the value has more than doubled.

The main reason is that the copper mine in Xihai was built not long ago, and too few copper coins were minted and the circulation was insufficient, which doubled the price of coins.

Two gold and a half can be exchanged for five stones of grain, that is, six hundred catties.Even if you open your belly to eat, it is enough for two strong men to eat for a year.

And this is just the one-month Shuxiu of Dr. Tong Xue, which has reached the monthly salary of the squadron leader of the upper army. Who wouldn't be jealous?
What's more, Li Chengzhi just made the only remaining aristocratic family in Xihai split into households, which is almost like dredging from the bottom of the pot.All the people present knew clearly: From now on, there will be no more days when you will have to stretch out your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food.If you want to feed your stomach and support your wife and children, you can only support yourself.

And not to mention plowing and farming, most of them can't even distinguish the five grains, maybe they will starve to death?

Therefore, hearing this statement, everyone is overjoyed like the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.

And that last sentence almost made rich families like Ren and Zhang weep with joy.

Who doesn't want to be a master, who doesn't want to go one step further, but where did Xihai's bullshit regulations come from, that a commoner can't be a party leader in politics, and a team leader in an army?

It's a joke in the world...

At this time, more than half of the gentry present at the scene no longer cared about dismantling their households, because most of these people were common people.

After working so hard to work in the yamen, and receiving a salary at the end of the month, [-]% of them want to join the public office?
The children of the gentry who did not have official or military positions were even more miserable: after the gentry moved to Xihai, the servants and slave households in the family were ordered to dismiss, and then the land was divided according to Dingkou.

And the larger the ethnic group, the more land will be allocated.But without servants and slave households, you can't starve to death, right?Naturally, it fell on Shuzhi's head...

All people have selfish desires, even saints are no exception.So how could these people be unhappy when they suddenly heard that they no longer need to hand over their salaries to the public, and no longer have to work hard to support a bunch of cysticercosis?
If it weren't for the fact that the direct branch has accumulated prestige for a long time, they would have laughed out loud...

But the son of Ru's direct branch, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he dared not speak out.

After letting these people digest for a while, Li Chengzhi said loudly again: "It's just these few things. You can think about it yourself. You can leave your name to take the exam right away, or you can think about it after you go back. Remember, Li Just wait for ten days, no time to wait..."

Ten days, that's quite a long time...

Some people hesitated subconsciously with the idea of ​​waiting and watching, but there were also smarter ones: Li Chengzhi was talking about taking the exam, which meant that even if he came to answer the call, he might not be able to be selected.

But if you come earlier, you have to be more sure, right?
Thinking about it this way, someone was ready to move immediately, and someone even took a step: "The next official is willing to answer the call!"

Li Chengzhi looked up, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

It's Ren Guang!
When he arrived in Zhangye, Ren Guang was sent by Li Shiliang to meet him outside the city. The two met at that time.

At that time, Ren Guang was already Li Shiliang's secretary (secretary), so I could see him often.This Ren Guang is also awakened, he knows who is in charge of Xihai, so he is extremely active.

But today, it is Ren Guang who knows the elegant meaning after hearing the string songs, not only figured out Li Chengzhi's intentions, but also made suggestions and persuaded the Ren family to raise the family, which can be called a great contribution.

Otherwise, how could it be so smooth?
The rest of the family turned black: This Ren family doesn't even want face because of being Li Chengzhi's lackey?
You, Ren Guang, have already served as the secretary office of Zhenyi County, and instead of being a good official, you went to teach, maybe your brain was kicked by a donkey?
Li Chengzhi nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand: "Register, make a book... I know you are very knowledgeable, so you don't have to take the exam, so I can call you a doctor of liberal arts in the university. At that time, everyone can come to the school to teach, but the repairs will be reduced by half..."

Can you do this?

The eyes of all the officials widened immediately: Could it be that they can receive two monthly salaries?
