Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302 No one can solve it
"What, there is such a thing?"

Hearing this news, the two top dignitaries in Datang couldn't help but screamed.

Two people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what's going on?

Are these families crazy?Doesn't this make it clear that they want to send money to the people?Why are they doing this?
It's definitely not a good thing to think about it with your ass.But they couldn't figure out what's wrong with this.

That's right, these aristocratic families have become rich boys, and you still say that they are not good.If they dare to say that, they will definitely be sprayed to death by those people.

The two looked at each other, walked, and immediately entered the palace to see the emperor.

The two entered the palace and came to the Ganlu Hall.I saw that Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Wei Zheng and others had come here earlier than them.

And all the people present here have very ugly faces.Obviously, things they probably probably already knew.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked up, cupped their hands towards Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I will see you."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite, you should know everything, right?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, I understand. But we all can't figure out what these aristocratic families want to do."

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "What are they doing? What good things can they do? They just want to monopolize the land and drive up the land price. The people who will suffer then will be the common people."

Fang Xuanling immediately questioned his words: "If the land price is driven up, can they increase it by ten times to take over the land? Is there still room for this land to rise? How will they make a profit then?"

Changsun Wuji said: "In any case, this is definitely a conspiracy, a big conspiracy. Do you still believe that they are here to save the people? To benefit the people?"

Du Ruhui said: "Although I don't believe that they will benefit the people, I really can't figure out where their loopholes are. If you can't find their loopholes, you don't know what they want to do, what they want to do , I can only watch them messing around like this. You see, the entire Chang'an City is almost deserted now, and they all ran to line up."

Wei Zheng said: "Although I can't think of what they bought so much land for, I believe that they definitely didn't buy it for planting."

A group of people talked and talked a lot there, but what they said all had one thing in common, that is, they all felt that this was not a good thing.

Seeing them chattering and talking for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Li Shimin felt very upset.

"Stop, wait a minute..."

Gao Shilian, who had been kneeling and sitting there with his eyes closed, suddenly asked everyone to wait.What did he seem to think of?
"Yes, what Zheng Guogong said is right. They bought the land, definitely not for planting. It is not for planting, and there is no profit in speculating the land. What do they want to do?"

buy land?Do not plant?

fried rice.

Yes, fried rice.

Gao Shilian suddenly opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.

"That's right, that must be the case. They buy land and don't plant it. Will we still have food in Datang?"

"what?"

Everyone took a deep breath.

No food?

Everyone immediately felt creepy.

What is the concept without food?
This is not a large number of disaster victims in a certain place.But the people all over the country are disaster victims.

At that time, even a tael of gold may not be able to buy a tael of grain!

If there is a situation where food is more expensive than money, it will be terrifying.

By that time, he, Li Shimin, will definitely become a foolish emperor through the ages.And it is possible to die.

So what if you have tens of millions of dollars?At that time, who will recognize the money?
"Asshole, they dare."

Li Shimin finally got angry and said angrily.

What Li Shimin said they dare not do is to say that they dare not not cultivate the land.

Everyone was silent, after a long silence in Ganlu Hall.

Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, they dare, they really dare. If they didn't dare, they wouldn't pay such a high price to collect the land. So, they definitely dare."

"bump……"

Li Shimin slapped the table, stood up and said: "Check it out, check it out for me, I want to see who is so bold and dares to come up with such a vicious plan. I will kill him with a thousand knives."

It's not difficult to find out this stuff, as long as you find the aristocratic families who have collected the land, and use a little tricks, you can find it out in one search.

What makes Li Shimin even more incredible is that these aristocratic families seem to be defenseless at all.He sent someone over to ask, and they told them.

That's right, the idea of ​​retrieving the land came from Wang Shiheng of the Wang family.

Soon, Wang Shiheng was brought up to Ganlu Hall.

Wang Shiheng was not afraid at all, came to Ganlu Hall, cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, but I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for me?"

Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he said to Wang Shiheng: "Wang Shiheng, I heard that you were the one who came up with the idea of ​​the big families acquiring land at a high price?"

Wang Shiheng said respectfully to Li Shimin: "There is nothing wrong. May I ask your Majesty, what's the problem with this? This is a normal business activity! Your Majesty, will you not allow it?"

"Hehe, normal business activities?"

Li Shimin sneered and said, "Wang Shiheng, don't think that I don't know what you want to do. You old bastards, don't treat everyone in the world as fools."

Wang Shiheng said unhurriedly: "What do you mean? Your Majesty, this time all our great families are hemorrhaging, just to hide wealth from the people, so that the people can become rich. Isn't it okay?"

"Hiding wealth to the people?"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, would you guys die so well?

Wang Siheng asked very puzzled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? If you have something to say, please say it clearly. I am old and my brain is not working well. I can't guess what you mean, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Let's be smart and don't slander. Tell me! Are you annexing the land this time to increase the price of food? To overthrow my Tang Dynasty?"

"Oh?"

Wang Shiheng was obviously taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Li Erlang, Li Erlang, you surprised this old man. I really didn't expect you to see what this old man meant so quickly. But you are serious. I didn't think about overthrowing Datang, but just wanted to It’s just a normal business activity to make some money by frying food prices, isn’t it?”

Li Shimin was stunned.The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling next to him were also stunned.

They never dreamed that this Wang Shiheng would admit it so simply.

Isn't this guy afraid of death?He wouldn't be so naive as to think that the current Wang family can keep him, right?

Li Shimin stared at Wang Shiheng, and asked, "Old Wang, why did you do this?"

Wang Shiheng chuckled and said, "Why do you ask so clearly what everyone knows?"

Li Shimin asked: "Wang Shiheng, aren't you afraid that I will cut you into pieces?"

"Ha ha……"

Wang Shiheng chuckled: "I'm getting old and my time is running out. So what if I die? But I want to ask you, do you think you can stop this commercial activity by killing me? Do you think you can stop this business by killing me? Can this disaster in Datang be prevented?"

"what?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your conspiracy, as long as I issue an edict and clearly tell the people the consequences, do you think the people will sell the land to you?"

Wang Shiheng laughed again: "Hehe...you can try it. You can stay with me for a few days, and then we will witness together whether your method will work or not. You need someone to tie the bell to untie the bell. Maybe when the time comes You, Li Erlang, have to beg the old man to help you solve this matter!"

Forehead?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.Li Er's face also became gloomy.

Asked: "What do you mean?"

Wang Shiheng said: "Li Erlang, Li Erlang, how about a bet between us? As long as you issue this edict, the common people will sell their land even more crazily, do you believe it or not?"

How can this be?

Everyone in the hall couldn't believe their ears.

Wang Shiheng said to himself: "Li Erlang, let me tell you, I, Wang Shiheng, have studied economics all my life. How could the things I came up with be so easy for you to crack? You underestimate me."

"As long as you issue the edict, the people will immediately panic. What are they panicking about? Ten times the price! The moment they saw this edict, what they thought in their hearts was to sell all the land as soon as possible. Get ten times the money first."

"When everyone listens to the decree and stops selling the land, the land will return to its original price. At that time, they will spend twice as much to buy the land back easily. In this way, they will be able to secure I have earned nine times as much money. Who would give up such a big benefit? Who would be willing to give up? This is human nature. Haha..."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall, including Li Shimin, felt their scalps go numb.

Thinking about it deeply, the possibility that the old man said is really the greatest.

But now, Li Shimin has no choice but to let the common people know this news.Otherwise, it would be impossible to prevent this disaster.

In other words, if the imperial edict is issued, it may be possible to stop it.If you don't post it, you can only watch the matter develop.

Moreover, Li Shimin could only issue an edict to advise the people not to do such deadly things.

He cannot prohibit the sale and purchase of land, and the consequence of doing so is not only that he cannot prevent it.And the consequences are not something he, the emperor, can bear.

With such a large profit, your emperor banned it when he said it was forbidden.As long as someone with a heart instigates it, Datang will immediately become chaotic.

Li Shimin's head was getting bigger, and he ordered: "Put Wang Shiheng into the prison of the Criminal Ministry first. Fang Aiqing, immediately write an edict for me."

This time, Li Shimin's edict was issued very well.

That is to have his imperial edict issued to the whole country and posted on the fields.Literate people were also asked to recite on the spot there.Make sure that his edict can reach the ears of every common people.

As soon as the edict came out, the people immediately understood it.It also solved the doubts in their hearts.

I said why these aristocratic families are so easy to die. It turns out that there is such a huge conspiracy hidden!
However, knowing is knowing.

As expected, the common people heard such an edict as Wang Shiheng said.Immediately panicked.

Their first thought was not to stop trading.Instead, sell the land in your hands as soon as possible.Let's make this money first.

When things subside, they can easily buy the land back, and then they will become rich.

life!
Opportunities like this don't come often, this person, it may only happen once in this lifetime.

As a result, the common people became even more crazy when they started selling their land.

Now, they don't demand ten times as much, even if you ask for five times or six times, they will still sell it.

Those who were in a hurry, even two or three times, they all shot.

The price of land is getting lower and lower, and the lower the price, the more urgent the people are to sell their land.

It's messed up, and the entire Tang Dynasty is full of people who want to sell land.

Li Shimin's edict not only had no effect at all, but also greatly increased the pace of the aristocratic family annexing the land.

Two days later, Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he received news from various places.

Originally, it would take at least a month for the major aristocratic families to acquire all the land in Datang.

Now, it is estimated that they will be able to accomplish this feat in only half a month.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.Important officials like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also stunned.

What should we do now?
Just give them another week and this catastrophe is inevitable.

Don't you, Li Er, have money and soldiers?

Send troops to suppress it forcibly!
Sorry, if he could do this, Li Shimin would have done it long ago.

Do you want to suppress people buying and selling land?
You suppress it.What they are facing is not only the major families, but also the people of the whole country.

How can this be done?

Are you an enemy of the whole world?

"What to do? What to do? Hurry up and find a way!"

In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was in a mess.

However, none of the ministers he trusted by Li Shimin could come up with a proper solution.

Chengjia Village.

In the yard where Li Yuan lived.

At this time, Li Yuan was also anxiously walking around with his hands behind his back.

That's right, he also received the message.But with his awesome intelligence, he couldn't think of a way to solve the problem.

There is no doubt that this is the ultimate move of the major families.After solving this problem, the Li and Tang Dynasties have been stable since then.

If it can't be solved, Li Tang Dynasty will be in trouble.

"Come on!"

Li Yuan shouted loudly towards the outside of the yard.

Soon, a guard came in, saluted him respectfully and asked, "The Emperor, what's the matter?"

Li Yuan said: "Go, find all the four princes in Chengjia Village."

"promise."

The guard agreed and turned to leave.

Soon, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother were all found.

When Li Yuan saw them, he didn't want to wait any longer, and asked directly: "You have been with your teacher for so long, now I ask you a question, I hope you can come up with a perfect solution."
