Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 225
Li Xiao waved his hand slightly: "My family occupies a total of 48 acres of land. In exchange for a hundred acres of dry land, more than half of it cannot be used for farming. Isn't there another half? In terms of the number of acres of arable land, the young master does not have Suffer."

"Can fertile land be the same as dry land?" Song Yuan also gestured blankly: "Your dry land does not have any water conservancy, the soil is barren and it is close to dense forests and far away from villages. If you want to cultivate such a place, the government will have to spend more money on water conservancy. , the extra wasteland is not worth the price, and besides, who would go so far to cultivate land? If Patriarch Li really has the heart, he might as well choose another place, measure it to supply the yamen, and save [-] to [-] acres in vain How about coming out of the dry land?"

Li Xiao's face sank slightly: "Young master, is there nothing to talk about?"

"There is nothing to talk about." Song Yuan also expressed his attitude: "And I have to remind you that without the approval of the government, you are not allowed to occupy good land to build a house without permission. If the damaged grain is not paid back to the Yamen according to the tax amount within one day, the Yamen will be punished according to the law."

Li Xiao's face became even more ugly: "My father followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, why should you be so aggressive?"

"The two old princes fought hard in the south and north, and the emperor has already rewarded them. The future of the future generations is also chosen by the two old princes. The court did not suppress and exclude them. Now the court has spent nothing to feed and clothe the people. Squeezing your family's interests is just to let your family teach the improper gains, but your family is pushing back and forth like this, why, want to rely on the past achievements of the two old princes to find some favors from the court?"

Song Yuan's meaningful eyebrows raised his little Jiujiu directly, and he took a sip from the teacup.

Li Xiao stared at her: "My father and uncle have done a lot of credit."

Not small?There are many veterans who have made more contributions than the two of them, but they can't live without them, and their descendants don't have so much trouble.

"Since that's the case, I invite the two old princes to go to Jingzhao to intercede with the emperor in person. As long as the emperor speaks, I will not pester your mansion." Song Yuan also expressed his position, and the court clearly wrote in the notice, No one can stop Tian Mu from reforming, and Jingzhao's movement is so big, how many powerful people have suffered, and Shanyang is not far away, it is impossible not to know that his family just wants to take a risk and get some benefits.

Li Xiao was silent, he was aware of his family's achievements, and he said these words just to defraud Song Yuan, if Song Yuan didn't accept the trick, the battle he deliberately put on would be useless.

Go to Beijing?According to his family's current reputation and status, if he can't even enter the palace gate, how much benefit can he get from going to Beijing?

However, there are hundreds of people in the whole family, one family leads another, and the court demands that these fields be handed over. The cost of food and clothing of the household.

It would be fine if it was just my own children and grandchildren, but relatives and relatives among them all opened their mouths and waited for the fields left by the two old princes to feed their stomachs. It might be okay for a year or two. How can they support so much after a long time?
Therefore, the Li family needs a way out, a way out to become an official again, otherwise the Li family will be disbanded once the two old princes die.

Song Yuan looked at his expression carefully, and he had almost grasped his thoughts: "Although the two old princes are military generals, they have a long-term vision and know the importance of the land. They also know that children and grandchildren often involved in the court are not a measure for family stability. Therefore, if you only want to cultivate land, even if you lose your title, you can still guard the land and cultivate, and reproduce for generations. It's a pity that the generals are too loyal and affectionate, not only pulling their own family, but also those who have relatives. If it's good for the family, it's fine, but there are many lazy people who lie on them and suck blood. Although I am the grandson of the emperor, I am good at the local area. I know that if a family wants to take root in the local area, it must For the benefit of the township and the people, the Li family's own descendants are still living in peace and stability, but there are some relatives who have been related to the old prince and started to make trouble under the banner of the old prince. I can't stop poking it up, it's hurting the old prince's old feelings in the emperor's heart."

Li Xiao looked at her, knowing that she was reminding himself that troubles caused by relatives protected by the family will be blamed on their family, and if they want to find a way out, they have to bow their heads and obey their ears. Don't think about going against the court. It's handed in, and when the time comes, it's uncertain whether the emperor will speak for her grandson who is in charge of innovation, or for an old minister who has already done justice.

"Patriarch Li, think twice, I don't want to see the friendship that the two old princes fought so hard for be ruined by such a trivial matter." Song Yuan got up and went out.

She waited outside the house, watching the fallen leaves piled up in the yard, Li Xiao came out after a long time, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I heard that there seems to be a big snake looking for a hole to hibernate by the lake?"

"I seem to have heard from the old man that the big snake is looking for a lair, so it has plans to use this place as its nest."

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, and his tone softened a lot: "Young master is so heart-to-heart for my father's evening festival. If the villain is not sensible, he will be really confused. I just measure the land to supply the yamen. The villain is really embarrassed. Please forgive me. The villain is willing to return it. The fields requested by the yamen, and the one hundred acres of dry land, are also donated, just ask the young master to say a few words in front of the emperor."

Just ask for a few words of praise for a hundred acres of dry land?There is no such a good bargain in the world. This is obviously an exchange of benefits with him. If a few words of kind words from him can earn a way out for their family, then their family can follow him.

Song Yuan weighed what benefits he could get from it, the two old princes could not be trusted, and among the descendants of the Li family, he had never heard of any capable people who could be of great use, so there was really nothing to covet.

Seeing Song Yuan's hesitation, Li Xiao hurriedly said: "The children and grandchildren in the family are not very successful, but there are polite and caring people, if you don't mind."

"That's not necessary." Song Yuan hurriedly refused, she couldn't bear the Yanfu: "Leader Li will hand over to Jun Cheng first."

Li Xiao thought she was just being cautious, so he didn't agree immediately, so he didn't waste any more words, and immediately went home to discuss with his family. Song Yuan also notified Juncheng in advance, and just took away the land that their family should hand over. As for the hundred acres of dry land, don't want it.

She came here to do things impartially, and she didn't think about wooing any influence, especially a big family with no outstanding children. This kind of family is like a vampire, and it is useless except to ask for it.

Jun Cheng said he knew, and handled their family's affairs personally, Song Yuan didn't ask about the follow-up matters, but went to the next place on horseback.
