Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 317 The Patriarchs Came to Cheng Family Village Again

These family owners are going crazy, this land can't be sold, if you keep it in your hands, it is no longer a hot potato, but a terrible thing!

Finally, these Patriarchs received rumors from outside.I know that those common people don't buy land anymore, but wait for the emperor to allocate land to them when the time comes.

After receiving this news, these Patriarchs were terrified.

It's over, what should we do now?
These Patriarchs hurriedly called their elders to a meeting.

But this will come and go, and in the end, no good solution can be found, except to reduce the price or reduce the price.

But no matter how they drop.The price of the land has dropped to the original market price, but no one comes to buy the land.

Day by day, soon, there is only half a month left.

If they do not sell the land within half a month, not only will they be confiscated, but they will also be fined.And it's the kind of punishment that will ruin the family.

These homeowners were finally in a hurry.

Now it is no longer a matter of money, these lands are a terrible thing in their hands.

Finally, these family owners came up with a plan, which was to divide the land.Give all the land in your hand to the people in their clan.

split.

The big family is all divided into small families.

As long as you are an adult, regardless of whether you have a family or not, you will be given [-] acres of land for him.

Anyway, they are their own people, and the land is divided, and it still belongs to their family.

However, after this wave of operations, five days were wasted.In the end, they found that only a quarter of the land had been released.

What about the remaining three quarters?
There are only ten days left, and it is impossible to sell them.

Gritting their teeth for the last time, they released the news that they would give away the land for free.As long as they come to ask for land, they will give as much as they want.

This wave of operations finally attracted countless people to ask for land.The places where the land is sold are overcrowded.

However, the problem soon appeared again, each of these people wanted the good land, and as for the bad land, they didn't want it for their families.

Those who are in charge of sending the land there are very angry.

"I said, old man Zhang, are you going too far? We gave you these lands. Isn't it reasonable to have 25 acres of good land and 25 acres of bad land? Why can't you accept this? "

The old man Zhang said: "My little brother, it's not that I, old man Zhang, are too much! Now our emperor stipulates that each family can only have 25 acres of land. Why do I want this [-] acres of land to occupy my quota? Are you stupid?"

It was said that those who gave away the land were all stupid.

This makes sense, it seems very reasonable!

Now the land is not expensive, he wants 25 acres of good land, and he can buy another 25 acres of good land for a little money, isn't it good for him?Why do you need 25 mu to take up the quota?
However, it makes sense that they can't do it either!
"Old man Zhang, let me tell you, we are giving away this land for nothing now, and it's all 25 acres that match the 25 acres. If you don't want it, then forget it."

Old man Zhang also simply said: "Since you don't give it, forget it and go. By the way, when you give the land, come and tell me."

When other people saw the situation, they couldn't choose to send land.Why do they need so much poor land to occupy the quota?
After thinking about it one by one, they felt that it was not worth it, so they all left.

These people who gave away the land were dumbfounded. No one wanted the land that was given away for nothing. What a ghost.

The news spread back to the ears of these Patriarchs, and these Patriarchs were also confused.

Do the people of Tang Dynasty have such a big appetite now?
In the past, they tried every means to find money to buy land.

Now, don't give him the land, but all of it.

Who is this to reason with?
This time, these Patriarchs really have a headache, and they don’t even want to give it to others, what should they do?It's impossible to send them all.

All have been delivered, and when the good ones are finished, what will happen to the poor ones left?Wouldn't they be fined at that time?
These Patriarchs really want to cry but have no tears!

The time is approaching day by day.

There is no way to dispose of these lands, and their end is coming.

These families couldn't drag on any longer, and finally gritted their teeth and released the news again.The 25 mu of poor land donated will be subsidized with consistent money per mu.

That is to say, those who come to ask for land can get 25 acres of good land, and those with 25 acres of bad land can still bring 25 yuan back.

As soon as the news was released, someone finally came to honestly ask for the land.

No way, the 25 pennies are too tempting.It doesn't matter if the land is available or not, 25 coins is also a very good thing.

A few days later, the land was finally divided.

After counting these family owners, they finally discovered a big problem.

Because, the land sold to them by Cheng Chuli in Wannian County was unexpectedly not wanted.

No way, everyone knows that these lands belong to the emperor.If you add money to others, they dare not ask for it!

It's cheating, it's so fucking cheating.

These lands were the most expensive when they were recovered.Now wanting to send it out is also the most difficult.

It seems that in two days it will be the day when the emperor implements the stepped tax rate.

That little bastard Cheng Chuli didn't even come to ask for the land.

This is, so fucking uncomfortable.

Well, I don't have time, I have to go to him.

These Patriarchs also knew that it was impossible to wait for Cheng Chuli to come and ask for the land.

This little bastard is probably planning to use this opportunity to kill them!

Vicious, so fucking vicious.

These Patriarchs had no choice. After the meeting, the next day, more than [-] Patriarchs came to Chengjia Village at the same time.

The news they got almost didn't scare them to death.

That's right, Cheng Chuli went to sea.He took all the troops and those princes and sons to sea.

Where did you go?No one knows.

When hearing this news, these Patriarchs were all dumbfounded.

These days, they were too busy to care about Cheng Chuli's affairs at all. Unexpectedly, he was not in Chang'an at all.

Only then did they remember that when they came to collect the land, Cheng Chuli said that he would leave for a while.

This little bastard really isn't lying when he says he's leaving, is he really leaving?Couldn't it really be absconding with money?
At this time, these Patriarchs burst into tears one by one.

If Cheng Chuli cannot be found, no one will take over these lands, and if no one takes over these lands, they will be finished.

At this moment, they really wanted to run to dig out Wang Shiheng's body and flog it!What kind of bad idea is this?

It's cheating, it's so fucking cheating.

Cheng Chuli went out to sea, let alone not knowing where he went, even if he knew where he was, it would be impossible to find him in two days.

Could it be that they couldn't even keep the last bit of wealth of their family?
The wealth accumulated by the ancestors who worked hard for hundreds of years was ruined by them in one day.

This is a prodigal, a real prodigal!
Just when these Patriarchs had no love in their lives and were about to go back and hang a piece of white silk to hang themselves.

A person ran over and said to them: "Patriarchs, the Supreme Emperor welcomes you."

"What? Overlord?"

At this moment, these Patriarchs came to their senses.

That's right, isn't there still the Supreme Emperor if Cheng Chuli is not here?

This guy is the butler of Chengjia Village!
Back then, Li Yuan was also the head of the Li family, and his identity was the same as theirs.

Well, not right.

These are the new Patriarchs, and Li Yuan is now the Supreme Emperor.

These new Patriarchs, when they came in front of Li Yuan, they all thought they were short.It's the kind of peers but younger.

Li Yuan received them with the same standard as that of Cheng Chuli.

After everyone was seated, Li Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Old brothers, it's rare for us to sit together so neatly. After this time, it's hard to say whether we will have the chance to sit together again. Come, let's have a drink!" "

Yes, these guys are all about the same age as Li Yuan.There are really not many opportunities for everyone to sit together and have a glass of water and wine.

Hearing what he said, everyone was very moved and raised their small wine glasses.

After putting down the wine glass, the Patriarch of Dugu's family said: "Your Majesty, you have to save us this time!"

No way, Li Yuan's queen, Li Shimin's mother, is from the Dugu family, so the Dugu family and Li Yuan are considered the closest.

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Oh, brothers, if it wasn't for saving you, Cheng Chuli would be the one sitting here to receive you now."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yes!

If it was Cheng Chuli who was sitting here to receive them, Cheng Chuli would definitely vomit blood from them.

Anyway, no matter what they said, they all thought that it was easier for them to talk to Li Yuan.

Patriarch Dugu said: "The Supreme Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

Li Yuan said: "Cheng Chuli had already figured out that you would have this difficulty. He originally wanted to stay and wait for you to come over, but he was driven out of the sea by me. If he was here, I'm sure that the last bit of coffin you will have He was completely cheated by him."

Hearing this, a group of old guys were even more moved, and at the same time they blushed very much.

Look, look at the pattern of others, it is simply not comparable to them.

They annexed the land this time, originally to deal with him, the Li Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, it was Li Yuan who stood up to save them in the end.

Needless to say, after being tricked by Wang Shiheng in this way, their aristocratic families simply did not have the strength to challenge the Li Tang Dynasty.

It is also a matter of minutes for the Li Tang Dynasty to destroy them.

Now they want money but have no money, no one they want, and even the hearts of the people are gone. It is impossible for anyone to stand up and support them.What are they doing with others?
What they did this time was rebellion. If Li Shimin wanted to destroy their entire clan, they had to accept it obediently.There is no resistance.

Now, with Li Yuan standing up to help them, although they can't turn around, their lives may be saved.

Most importantly, Li Yuan still wanted to leave some money for them.Don't add insult to injury, trample them to death, this is what moved them the most.

Li Yuan said: "Brothers, the world has changed, too fast. It has become difficult for us old men to adapt.

If you can, don't think too much after this time, and leave the world to those young people to play!

If you have nothing to do, come here to get together with my old man. Let's drink and play chess. Isn't he nice?Why bother yourself with things you don't need? "

What Li Yuan said was true, he had already seen it.

Even if there is no Cheng Chuli, he will play as he pleases all day long. Anyway, after giving birth to a child, he will leave it to Li Shimin to raise him.

Don't you like power?Well, you come to make money, and I will take care of the flowers.

Li Yuan has always had this mentality.

Anyway, I am his father. According to the current social atmosphere, Li Shimin dare not ignore him at all.

After hearing Li Yuan's words, these Patriarchs also fell silent.

This makes sense!The funny thing is, when he was pushed down from the throne by Li Shimin, they were still hiding in the dark and laughing!

At this moment, they realized that Li Yuan was the shrewdest person.

What are they fighting with the emperor here all day, even if they really control the emperor, so what?
Can it make them live longer?Or make them better off?
No, it's all impossible.

No matter how powerful the family is, as long as there is a prodigal son, all the hard work of their ancestors will come to an end.

Their current situation is the truest portrayal.

Patriarch Dugu said: "The Supreme Emperor is right, what he said is too reasonable. It's a pity that we haven't understood these truths all this time!"

The other families also nodded after hearing the words.

Only at this moment, they will understand these truths.

If it was changed before.Even if Li Yuan talked nonsense to them, they would dismiss him.

Li Yuan said: "Since you all think so, well, I will leave the matter of land to you. The extra land! Just give it all to me? Anyway, I have the old man here, even if it is an extra You will not be fined for hundreds of acres. You can rest assured about this."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, these Patriarchs heaved a long sigh of relief.

In this way, not only his life was saved, but even the last bit of wealth in the family was saved.

Li Yuan said: "By the way, let me tell you something, I wonder if you are interested?"

All the old men's eyes lit up, and they looked at Li Yuan with piercing eyes.

Li Yuan said: "Cheng Chuli, that brat, is planning to build some villas on the central island of Weishui Lake. Brother, I paid [-] guan for one. Do you want one too?
From now on, we old men will all live on that island, fishing and hunting birds every day, and then playing chess and so on.Anyway, I won't take care of the old man's affairs with this young man. "

When these old guys heard this, they couldn't help but be moved.

This is definitely a paradise-like life, the favorite of the elderly!

"Your Majesty, order me a bed! No, no, order me two. Otherwise, there will be too many old men, and he won't be able to live! Hahahaha..."

Patriarch Dugu said happily.

The other owners were also very tempted, and each of them ordered two pieces.

Li Yuan was also very happy when he heard this.

This in itself was something he had discussed with Cheng Chuli.All these old men lived with them.

Without these old guys making trouble behind the scenes, it would be almost impossible for Datang to think about any major turmoil.
