Emperor Sui Yang

In fact, Yang Ming fell into the trap of Chen Shuyi and Gao Yue this time.

Fortunately, he is the prince now, and he can sit on a chariot in the imperial city, and there are only a few steps left to enter the palace, and he needs to support himself to stay normal.

Once you enter the hall, you can sit down.

Right now, Yang Ming's position is unique. It is not far from Yang Guang's attack, and it is clearly separated from the officials on both sides.

After Yang Guang came in, he found something wrong with his son's sitting posture, and as someone who had experienced it, he didn't expose it.

How old are you?I've always been like this, and nothing like you.

The court meeting three days ago brought Yang Wei down, but the affairs in Hebei are not over yet, and many aspects need to be dealt with.

For example, what policies should be used to appease Hebei, and how should Chen Junbin, Cui Hongjun, and Gao Shengdao be dealt with.

Everyone expressed their views, some suggested exempting Hebei from taxes, and some, like Yang Ming's request at the beginning, implemented the policy of exempting slaves and servants from granting land in Bashu, Jingzhou, Southwest, Lingnan and other places.

Yang Guang has not expressed his position, but let the ministers discuss.

After a while, Yang Guang changed the topic directly and talked about Chen Junbin and others.

Yang Wanshi, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent officials to Hebei to arrest people, and the remaining three, Chen, Cui, and Gao, have to be protected by Yang Ming.

One is Chen Shuyi's cousin, one is Cui Hongsheng's third brother, and the other is Gao Yan's eldest son.

It seems that Cui Hongjun is not worth protecting, after all, his daughter is married to Yang Wei, but in fact, this time, no one will be punished and no one will be arrested if it involves the Hebei family.

Because Yang Ming figured out that the way the old man comforted Hebei was absolutely perfect.

First, Lu Chu of the Lu family in Fanyang was appointed as the internal history order, and then Cui Zhongfang of the Cui family of Boling was transferred back to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then the brothers Cui Junsu and Cui Junchuo of the Cui family of Qinghe were appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Taipusi respectively. Qing.

Cui Shu, who also came from the Cui family of Qinghe, became the Secretary of Sinong Temple.

The Shandong clan arranged five of them in one go, all of them were absolutely key positions, and it was obvious that they would appease the hearts of the Hebei aristocratic families.

Among them, Cui Junchuo is the uncle of Yang Guang's concubine Yang Ning. Yang Ning has become Yang Chan's dowry daughter and now lives in Pei Xuanji's residence.

Normally, a maid, that is, a dowry girl, can sleep, but you have to see who the father is.

That is Comrade Yang Guang.

Although she doesn't have the name of a princess, she has the reality of a princess. Do you, Pei Xuanji, want to sleep with two princesses?Are you dreaming?
So Yang Ning is still perfect now, and Yang Guang also intends to find a good family for his concubine daughter.

At the court meeting, Yang Guangda waved his sleeve and was about to kill Gao Shengdao. Yang Ming hurriedly stood up to persuade him.

Gao Yan didn't say anything, just watched the father and son put on a show, how could he not understand what Yang Guang meant?Don't you just want to hit me?
Don't worry, when Yang Ming enters the East Palace, I won't serve you anymore.

Next, Yang Guang continued: "As for that Chen Junbin, although there was civil unrest in his jurisdiction, his county guard is still qualified. Now the people in Wu'an County need to be appeased. I have no intention of asking the crime. Zhuqing thinks how?"

Pei Ju nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this person has a reputation of integrity in the local area, and he has not failed His Majesty's high expectations. This civil disturbance was caused by many reasons, and he is not the only one to blame."

Pei Ju could also see that this time, Yang Guang was very ruthless when he ruled the officials from Guanzhong.

Doing so is actually in the interests of the imperial court. This is different from person to person. To deal with Shandong and Jiangnan, we need a loose policy and a high hand to prevent them from developing a heart of resistance.

But Pei Ju didn't know that Yang Guang wanted to support Shandong and Jiangnan aristocratic families and oppose the Guanzhong Group.

No one else has any objections to Chen Junbin's matter. After all, everyone knows that the Chen family has two wives who are currently favored, and one is favored by the prince. Right now, Jiangnan Chen's career is on the rise.

There was basically nothing wrong with Cui Hongjun. His second brother Cui Hongsheng was still alive, and his nephew went to Yang Ming's place. Everyone could tell that nothing would happen to him.

After the end of the court meeting, Yang Guang left his son behind, still in the Daxing Hall.

After Yang Guang dismissed all the servants, he said to his son:
"It is imperative to abolish land grants for slaves and servants in Bashu, Jingzhou and the south, but it is unrealistic to exempt Hebei from taxes."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "I agree, Jiangnan has been exempted from taxes, and if Hebei is exempted, the treasury will be stretched."

"So," Yang Guang said with a smile: "For some things, don't wait for me to express your opinion. You should also express your opinion at the court meeting. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you make a mistake, I will take care of you."

Yang Ming understood that the old man meant to let him sing red faces at the court meeting. To put it bluntly, he wanted to help the old man block some things he didn't like.

"Then, can the money saved from exempting land grants in these places be used for Hebei?" Yang Ming asked tentatively.

At that time in Qin Wangfu, he also discussed it with the ministers, and Pei Ju thought it was not feasible.

Yang Guang laughed and said, "Why do I spend money in Hebei?"

Yang Ming said in a daze, "But the imperial court still owes money to Hebei. Right now, all industries in Hebei are ruined, and money is needed to stabilize the local area."

"You child, you still need to learn a lot," Yang Guang said slowly: "Hebei needs appeasement, which is the top priority of the imperial court this year, but in what way can appeasement be achieved?"

Then, Yang Guangdao: "We must pay back Hebei's account, but we can't pay it back, so how do you think it will be settled?"

Pay it back or not?What's the meaning?Yang Ming shook his head blankly.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Your second brother owes the money, and it is on the court's head, so we father and father have to pay back the money, but the treasury can't go out to pay the money, how to solve it? Of course they don't want the money on their own initiative."

Yang Ming pretended to be enlightened and said: "That's why the father appointed five officials from Shandong at once, because the imperial court owed them the most money."

"It's not enough," Yang Guang said, "The amount owed is too large to be solved by giving to a few officials. If you want both kindness and prestige, it is kindness to the officials, so what kind of prestige is it?"

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Actually, you proposed the method at the court meeting earlier," Yang Guang said with a smile, "it is to send inspectors to inspect Hebei."

I'm so stupid!The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched.

I get it, Daddy, you're absolutely perfect
What is the inspection for?Those who go looking for money, can't look for ordinary people for money, because ordinary people have no money, and they are actually looking for aristocratic families.

Su Wei served as an inspector twice, and when he came back from one inspection, he was pulled down because he accepted bribes during the inspection.

Why accept bribes?Because the people below are afraid that he will investigate, so they put some money in, hoping that Su Wei will show his respect.

The inspections mainly check the household registration, and all the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty concealed a large number of household registrations, but occupied a huge amount of land.

This is Dasuo Maangyue. Dasuo is to count the household registration, register the name, date of birth and appearance, and Maangyue is to check the appearance of the people with the appearance recorded on the household registration.

During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, Da Suo Maangyue directly cleared out 160 million concealed population in the north, so that taxes surged, showing a trend of growth year after year.

But Yang Guang knew very well that the Dasuo Maangyue back then were all small landlords from Cha, and none of the real big aristocratic families could be moved.

He can't move now, but he can put on a show and scare them, which means I'm going to send people down to hunt down Maung Yue. How strong it is depends entirely on how determined you are to demand debt from the court.

If you still want money, let's check it carefully, if you don't want it, it's just a formality.

It's really amazing, Yang Ming admires him all over the place, or he said don't underestimate any emperor, because he is thinking about how to fight against the world, how about you?Just fight with those people.

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Then should we still let Pei Yun go?"

He was at the court meeting and was recommended by Pei Yun.

"It's the same for anyone who goes, the point is that he understands what we mean and knows what to do when we go on," Yang Guang said:

"Pei Yun is still very suitable. This person has been trying to figure out what's on my mind, and I will occasionally give him a chance to figure it out."

Yang Ming sincerely admired him and said, "Father's move is flawless. Now that Hebei is suffering from such a catastrophe, the number of deaths is large, and the loss of the local aristocratic family is not small. They will inevitably conceal the death toll in order to continue to occupy the land and evade taxes."

When a person dies, but the field is still there, the field should be returned to the state for redistribution, but the local aristocratic family will say that the person is not dead and is alive and well. In this way, they can use this to occupy the dead person's fields.

According to the policy of the Sui Dynasty, the three diseases are tax-free and partially tax-free, that is, the disabled, the disabled, and the seriously ill.

For these three categories of people, the disabled are half taxed, and the disabled and the seriously ill are exempt from tax.

Right now, there are more than 60 dead in Hebei, and at least 50 to [-] injured. How many of them are unable to take care of themselves?

It may not be many, but there must be a lot of them in the Hebei newspaper, because they want to use this article to evade taxes. They are originally disabled, but they report you as disabled, so you don’t have to pay taxes.

Therefore, choosing this time for Da Suo Mao Yue, the timing is very precise, which can be said to hit the nail on the head.

As expected of Yang Guang, Yang Ming really felt that he still had a lot to learn, because these things were completely out of his reach before the time travel.

The father in the previous life was just an ordinary employee, but the father in the present life is more than ten thousand people.
