After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 77 Liu Guangzong Returns to the West

In the evening, Lin Wushang sent Lin Xi back to the Lin family and heard that the Cheng family came to buy land.

"You didn't sell it to him, did you? You can't sell this land."

Lin Chunniang shook her head: "No, the rice in this field is about to be harvested. How can I sell the land to him? No matter how nice he says it, I don't believe it. Those rich and powerful people are smart. , how could you possibly give us benefits for free?"

In short, you can't eat the pie falling from the sky.

Lin Wushang: "Sister, you are right. The Cheng family's purchase of land is only the first step. Their real purpose is to turn the court's land into their private property and turn the common people into their slaves."

Among the aristocratic families, there are many people who truly care about the country and the people, and Li Mi is a ready example.

But most aristocratic families are just silverfish that suck the blood of the imperial court, trying to hollow out the imperial court and enrich themselves.

In the later period, the aristocratic families annexed a large amount of land and turned a large number of people into their private slaves.

Private slaves are slaves, and their masters are not the court, but aristocratic families, so they do not have to pay taxes to the court.

The taxes that private slaves should have paid should fall on the families who kept them, but the families lied and even concealed the number of private slaves.

As a result, there are more and more people in the world, but fewer and fewer people are registered in the imperial household registration.

As a result, the number of people paying taxes will be greatly reduced.

If the imperial court cannot collect taxes, how can it support officials and the army?
As a result, officials were weakened, the army was lax, and wars were frequently defeated.

Such a big Yong is like a big tree that is constantly being eaten away. It looks lush and tall from the outside, but in fact it has been hollowed out on the inside.

All it takes is a strong gust of wind to blow over and it will collapse.

And that strong wind was a foreign race other than Dayong. They always coveted Dayong and wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Dayong.

When the country is in real crisis, those aristocratic families run faster than anyone else.

They have always believed that even if the emperor is gone and the court is gone, they can still stand and be passed down for thousands of years.

Because the imperial court was supported by their aristocratic family, as long as their aristocratic family was still there, wouldn't they be able to re-establish a imperial court casually?So why bother working for the emperor?
Anyway, if this emperor falls, the next emperor will stand up.

It was like this before, and it will still be like this in the future.

As everyone knows, they will encounter backlash sooner or later.

"Ah? How dare they?" Lin Chunniang was shocked.

She is just a commoner. In her eyes, the emperor is the greatest, and the court must obey the emperor's orders. The Cheng family wants to turn the court's land into their own, and wants to turn the people into their private slaves. That's not true. Are you just competing with the emperor for people and land?
Lin Wushang: "The aristocratic family has always been very courageous."

On the surface, they respected the emperor, but in fact they did not really take the emperor seriously.

Lin Dayou: "But what are they going to do? No decent people want to become slaves."

Slaves have no control over life or death. Once they become slaves, their children will be slaves and maids for generations to come, and they will never be able to stand up again!
Lin Wushang: "If you sell the land to the Cheng family, the Cheng family will pretend to be tolerant and generous to you at first, paralyzing you. When you think the Cheng family are good people, they will reveal their true colors.

"First, the rent is increased step by step. The land belongs to them. Even if you don't agree at the beginning, what can you do? Once they threaten not to rent the land to you for farming, you will have no choice but to compromise.

"After that, the rent will be so high that you can't afford it. When you can't pay the rent, the Cheng family will arrange for someone to lend you money. When you can't pay the rent and are desperate, they will take out a deed of sale. I used coercion and inducement to get you to sign.”

The Lin family took a breath of cold air.

Lin Chunniang: "What a black heart! Fortunately we didn't agree to sell the land."

Lin Xi felt that the routine was very familiar.

Aren't this feudal dynasty's aristocratic families the ancient capitalists?
When leaving, Lin Wushang told Qin Shuang to be more careful tonight to prevent the Cheng family from attacking the Lin family.

His worries came true in the evening.

A man sneaked into Lin's house and threw a lit stick of incense into the yard.

He also brought a bucket, but I didn't know what was in it.

When he poured the contents of the bucket into the corner, Qin Shuang swept down from the roof and knocked the attacker unconscious with a knife.The reason why she didn't take action when this person threw Mixiang was because Lin Xi sent her a message.

In addition to making people unconscious, the incense does not cause any additional harm to the body.

Let the Lin family inhale the smoke and have a good sleep. She will take this opportunity to kill Liu Guangzong.

Lin Xi flew out of the window and was caught firmly by Qin Shuang.

Arriving in front of the unconscious man, Lin Xi recognized him as Liu Lezi, who was hanging out with Liu Yaozu.

The last time Liu Yaozu dressed up as a Taoist priest and played tricks on gods and ghosts, Liu Lezi played a big role in it.

He also took the opportunity to take advantage of Cui Niang, causing Cui Niang to want to commit suicide.

An embroidery needle flew out of Lin Xi's fingertips and killed him.

"The body was thrown into the back hill and eaten by wild animals."

Qin Shuang put Lin Xi down temporarily, picked up the body and flew to the back mountain.

Lin Xi opened the wooden barrel Liu Laizi brought, and a pungent smell rushed out.

kerosene!

She immediately guessed Liu Leizi's plan, which was to stun the Lin family first, then pour kerosene around the Lin family's house, and burn the Lin family's house and the people inside to death!
It seems that he died unjustly.

Qin Shuang came back and carried Lin Xi to Liu's house. Just like last time, she sneaked in quietly.

Liu Guangzong did not sleep with his wife, but slept alone in the study, holding a bronze pot in his arms.

I have to hold it even when sleeping. It seems that this bronze pot is a treasure.

Lin Xi did not use an embroidery needle to kill people this time, but took off the Xiaoqing from his wrist and threw it on Liu Guangzong.

The primary medical skills she learned also included poison. She applied her knowledge of raising poison to Xiao Qing and fed it a lot of poison.

Now Xiaoqing is no longer the same as before. Her body has undergone the changes she expected, and the toxicity is ten times and a hundred times more powerful than before.

He is also more humane and can understand her instructions.

"Bite him."

Xiaoqing was not very willing. This man smelled so bad that he didn't want to bite him.

But it had to listen to the little master's words, so it had to bite him lightly.

With this bite, Liu Guangzong died in his dream of glory and wealth.

"Take this copper kettle with you." Lin Xi took Xiao Qing back, put it on her wrist again, and sent a message to Qin Shuang.

She wanted to see what treasures there were.

Just as she was about to leave, Lin Xi heard a cry for help from the next room.

"What are you doing? Ah, let me go..."

"What are you doing? You deliberately ogled me during the day, didn't you just want me to come to you at night? Stop struggling. No matter how loud you scream, your husband will not come over. But he said that if a woman Clothes, if I like them, he can offer them to you at any time."

Lin Xi: It’s really noisy.

"Xiao Qing, I have to trouble you again. I will feed you delicious food when I go back."

Lin Xi put Xiaoqing on the window sill of that room.

Xiaoqing climbed in resignedly and took a bite of the man's foot inside.
