Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Chapter 305 The embryonic form of reform

Li Yi'an was drenched all over, but stood in the field without paying attention.

People from other aristocratic families all lowered their heads, feeling uncomfortable, but no one dared to look at Li Yi'an more.

It was also the first time for Yuchi Baolin to see her husband so angry that even he felt a sense of oppression, let alone people from these aristocratic families.

After a long time, someone finally walked in outside the Governor's Mansion.

"Give me in!"

With great strength, Cheng Chumo threw a man to the ground and urged, "Sir, we are back!"

He also brought up the Zhang family's things and put them on the case table.

As soon as the eldest son of the Zhang family arrived inside, he saw his father lying in a pool of blood. He was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Aye!"

He rushed over and burst into tears.

"From now on, you are the head of the Zhang family."

Li Yi'an looked at the Zhang family's assets and other proofs. Even a not too big family is very rich, and continued: "If you don't want to be the head of this family, you can go to accompany your father. I don't believe it. I can't find anyone Come and help me control the Zhang Family."

The man didn't respond, and didn't dare to respond, he just lay down on the corpse and cried bitterly.

After a while, those house slaves came back one after another, presenting all kinds of property certificates of their own family.

"Sir, this is the land ownership information I found in the Governor's Mansion, as well as the general situation of the unowned wasteland in various places."

Changsun Chong held an umbrella and asked someone to put a lot of official documents on the case.

In the blink of an eye, a mountain of official documents were piled up in front of Li Yi'an's eyes. It was a headache to watch, and he was no exception.

"Leave first."

Li Yi'an still didn't let them leave, simply flipping through the contents, he couldn't help feeling that the heritage of the aristocratic family is really rich, no wonder the Wei and Jin Dynasties needed to rely on the aristocratic family to govern the world.

"Now you send people back, and send me all the land deeds recorded on it, except the house where you live, to redeem them. As long as I see the land deeds, I will release them immediately. I will stay, and no one is allowed to leave half a step."

As soon as Li Yi'an's words fell, there was a burst of wow.

They finally understood what this Li Zhan was going to do. Using the land deed to redeem someone was equivalent to giving him all the land, so what else could their family have?

"Li Zhan, you can't do this!"

The head of an aristocratic family bit the bullet and said cautiously: "The land has always been ours, and you took it away by force. How do we survive?"

Li Yi'an said: "Could it be possible that if you don't have land, you will starve to death?"

With their savings, even if they don't do anything, they won't starve to death after eating for ten years.

"Whoever you don't want to give, just stand up. If you want to give, let your slaves go back. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

Li Yi'an added: "Chang Sunchong, go and ask Fang Cheng to find a group of people. I want to check whether their land is consistent with the records of the imperial court. If it is not consistent, the land will be seized and severely punished!"

With so many people present, who hasn't had the experience of occupying land?

They wailed, but they didn't dare to resist, they could only pray that their luck would be better.

Li Yi'an can even control the troops of Jiangnan Dongdao at will, and they are not top families like the Five Surnames Qiwang and the Kuaiji Yu family. Even if they all unite to resist, they will only be suppressed more powerfully.

The most powerful Zhu family in Hangzhou is gone. As for the Zhao family, Zhao Zhide is still in a coma. The rest of the chaotic family has no weight to shake Li Yi'an's status.

It's just a matter of land, and there are all kinds of rosters of domestic servants. They don't know what Li Yi'an wants to do with these things, and there is always a feeling that something big is going to happen.

Under Li Yi'an's oppression, they had to ask people to go back to get the title deed.

If you don't take it, you may have to see that Zhang family leader.

During the waiting time, Li Yi'an changed his clothes, asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down all his plans and methods for fighting the flood, and then handed it over to Chang Sun Chong for him to make overall arrangements.

Among the four evils in Chang'an, only Chang Sun Chong is interested in these political affairs. If the other three are asked to fight, they will be more active than anyone else.

Li Yi'an hadn't finished writing the anti-flood measures, and people outside brought land deeds to redeem people one after another. After checking that there was no problem, they put away the land deeds before letting them go.

As for the investigation of responsibility, we have to deal with it after the fact.

But in a short while, the aristocratic families in the field were basically gone, and they presented their land deeds with tears in their eyes.

"What shall we do now?"

Walking outside, a patriarch threw away the umbrella beside him and said through gritted teeth, "In Hangzhou, who else can hold back Li Zhan's affairs?"

After a while, someone said softly: "No one in Hangzhou can suppress him, but you can go to the Yu family in Kuaiji to try."

Li Yi'an didn't care what family they were looking for for help, and whoever came would give him experience.

"Wash him awake!"

Li Yi'an pointed at Zhao Zhide on the ground, his mouth was almost smashed.

Whoa!

A basin of water broke down.

"pain!"

Zhao Zhide woke up suddenly, but his voice was also vague. When he got up, he looked around blankly, and immediately crawled up to Li Yi'an, begging, "Li Zhan, I really know I was wrong, please let me go."

Every time he said a word, the wound on his face twitched in pain, causing his voice to be muffled. It was with great difficulty that Li Yi'an managed to understand what he said.

"It's not impossible to let you go, I have two things for you to do here!"

Li Yi'an said: "The first thing is to ask your people to send over all the land deeds of your Zhao family. As for the second thing, you can see for yourself!"

He sent a paper full of handwriting to Zhao Zhide.

"This……"

Zhao Zhide was in a daze for a long time. The above content was written, asking him to take the initiative to take all the domestic slaves and servants in the family as private property and include them as part of the tax. Hangzhou preached that he did this on his own initiative, and no one forced him.

The Zhao family's domestic slaves, if not one thousand, have eight hundred, not counting the individual houses. In short, there are too many people, and these are regarded as part of the tax revenue, so they can't be emptied in one step.

Without these people, there would be no one to operate such a huge family, and they would have to wait to starve to death!

If this method is carried out, future aristocratic families may not even be as good as ordinary merchants. What kind of aristocratic family is this?

Zhao Zhide finally understood everything. It turned out that the most important purpose of Li Yi'an's coming to Hangzhou was not to inspect, but to do something to their family.

The imperial court wants to suppress the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Are you serious about Li Zhan?"

Zhao Zhide asked again in a vague voice with disbelief.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Li Yi'an said lightly: "If you don't agree, then I'm sorry, I will support the second Patriarch of the Zhao family who agrees with me, and you are not important."

Unimportant people don't deserve to live anymore.
