Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

When Li Yi'an arrived at the Governor's Mansion again, he saw Yu Shinan sitting in the main hall, flipping through the official documents in Hangzhou, frowning while reading.

"Li Yi'an!"

When Du Zhenglun saw him, he flew into a rage and said, "What do you mean by those new tax laws?"

He also read the relevant official documents, and finally understood why the Hangzhou family hated Li Yi'an so much. It was to drive them to a dead end. The tax payment according to the regulations was too high, and the family of abandoning the slaves would not need to operate internally.

In general, it doesn't work no matter what you do.

Fortunately, the incident happened in Hangzhou, and Li Yi'an could suppress those aristocratic families. If it was in Chang'an, five surnames and seven Wangs would not be able to tear him apart.

Du Zhenglun also remembered what Li Yi'an said yesterday, because the interests of the ordinary people affected the interests of the aristocratic family, and this interest was too great.

"Duke thinks it's okay?"

Li Yi'an asked: "How does Duke Yu feel?"

"Extremely preposterous!"

Yu Shinan said these four words mercilessly.

Yesterday, because Li Yi'an did a good job with the common people, he changed his opinion of Li Yi'an, and today he changed all his attitude from yesterday.

You must know that the Yu family is in the Jiangnan area, and it is a first-class wealthy family. If this method continues to be promoted, it will definitely go out of Hangzhou. The Yu family is definitely the family in the Jiangnan area that has suffered the most serious tax deductions.

Not to mention that Yu Shinan is also from a family, judging from the concepts he has accumulated over the years, it is impossible to agree with Li Yi'an to do this.

"Absurd? I don't think so!"

Li Yi'an asked: "Grand Yu also comes from a family, and I can understand speaking for the family, but does Mr. Yu still remember what the five surnames and Qi Wang in Chang'an did during the drought last year? There was heavy rain and floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family in the south of the Yangtze River, What have you done? If they don’t cut their interests, people’s livelihood will be difficult to do well.”

Thinking of what he saw in Suzhou and Huzhou, Yu Shinan's expression changed slightly, as if he was thinking about something again.

"You are arrogant!"

Du Zhenglun said unconvinced: "The family has always been the reliance of the court to govern the country. If there is no family, where will the court's taxes come from? Relying on the taxes paid by ordinary people, even the army cannot be supported."

Li Yi'an sneered and said, "Mr. Du, you can find any aristocratic family in Hangzhou to find out whether it is they who pay more taxes, or the common people as a whole. You are all members of the aristocratic family. He looked at people and things with the same attitude, but ignored the bottom-level foundation of the Tang Dynasty.”

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The people in the world are the foundation of a country. Xunzi once said, 'A king is a boat; a common man is water. Water carries a boat, and water overturns it'. The sage If so, Duke Yu knows better than me, right?"

Yu Shinan's thoughts were deeper than Du Zhenglun's. Hearing what Li Yi'an said, he slowly put down the things in his hands and pondered hard.

Du Zhenglun said: "It's a bunch of nonsense. The common people don't care what they want. How can it be the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"

He is also a member of an aristocratic family, sitting in this position, he is well aware of the dangers of this tax law.

If it is effective in Hangzhou and Li Shimin sees it, it is possible to vigorously promote it.

At that time, the entire Tang Dynasty will collect this kind of tax, and there is no way to evade taxes. On the land issue, taxation will be strictly restricted. This is their bad news.

A possibility suddenly flashed in Du Zhenglun's mind, this tax law was authorized by Li Shimin, if not, how would Li Yi'an have the courage to do this?

Thinking of this, he was shocked.

Your Majesty is going to attack the family in secret.

resist!

It must be resisted and killed in the cradle.

"Gong Yu, there are many people outside!"

Chang Sun Chong just ran in at this time.

"Duke Yu, please be the master of our Hangzhou family!"

Immediately there was a sound of shouting outside, and the group of people from the aristocratic family came to make trouble again.

"Go outside and have a look."

Yu Shinan collected his thoughts for a while.

There were dozens of people standing outside the governor's mansion, the leader among them was Yu Shiqing, who came all the way from Kuaiji yesterday.

Even Zhao Zhide was among them, and when he saw Li Yi'an coming out, he hid in the crowd in fear.

"Duke Yu is out!"

Zhu Rong shouted most excitedly.

"Please Lord Yu be the master of my Zhu family. My family's Sanlang Zhu Huai was killed by Li Yi'an, and the Zhu family was also destroyed by him. Now I can't even eat enough."

Zhu Ming cried while talking, and almost knelt down.

"Brother, it's good that you come!"

Yu Shiqing pointed at Li Yi'an, and said viciously: "Li Yi'an doesn't even pay attention to our Yu family, and even threatened to kill me! This person is cruel and commits all kinds of evil."

People from other aristocratic families spoke up one after another, and they had to denounce Li Yi'an in front of Yu Shinan, so that they could reverse the situation.

"Li Yi'an, look at the good deeds you have done!"

Du Zhenglun pointed at him and said angrily.

"What good did I do? I think we need to sort out the cause and effect of the whole thing before you can blame me!"

Li Yi'an said with a sharp voice: "Shut up!"

Everyone trembled in fright at the same time, thinking of Li Yi'an's ferocious methods during this period, they really shut up and dared not say anything.

"Look, brother, Li Yi'an is just so defiant!"

Yu Shiqing pointed at him angrily.

"Be quiet first, and listen to what Li Zhan has to say."

Yu Shinan really didn't like this kind of noisy environment, so he continued: "Li Zhan is right, the cause and effect should be clarified before we discuss it."

Li Yi'an said with a smile: "It's better that Duke Yu understands the truth, so let's start with the Zhu family and the Yu family, and you, Dejian, will come too."

Speaking of their two families, both Zhu Rong and Yu Shiqing felt a little guilty, but it was already a fact that Chashan was completely taken back by Li Yi'an.

"Dejian, bring out all your family's certificates."

Li Yian said again.

Li Dejian's things were all placed in the governor's office, and when he heard the words, he put them in front of Yu Shinan, and said, "Grand Yu, please take a look."

Li Yi'an said again: "Duke Yu came from Chang'an, so he should know about the tea mountain, right? When General Li made great contributions in pacifying Jiangnan, the Supreme Emperor rewarded General Li with a tea mountain near Xiaoshan. There are imperial edicts, title deeds, etc., and there are records check."

Yu Shinan nodded slightly. This was the reason why he planned to go back to Jiangnan.

"About the Chashan matter, do you have any objections?"

Li Yi'an glanced over and landed on them.

"Tea Mountain... I can give it to you!"

Yu Shiqing knew that this was irreversible, and he couldn't fight over it. His elder brother came from Chang'an, so he wouldn't be ignorant of this issue of ownership, but he said, "But you killed my Yu family, how to deal with this matter?"

Zhu Ming immediately said: "Our Zhu family was destroyed by you, you killed my family's Saburo, I see how you can explain it!"

Li Yi'an smiled faintly: "First of all, let's talk about the Zhu family's problem. You said I killed Zhu Huai, then tell me, under what circumstances did I kill Zhu Huai?"

"I...you..."

Zhu Ming was speechless, he hesitated for a while, but couldn't say anything.

Zhu Huai died, that is what he deserved, according to Tang law, even if he was killed, he would not be wronged.
