Chapter 469: Khitan Re-emerges
If they could think it through, not care about the interests of the land, and not be enemies of the court, they would not have ended up like this.

But now it's too late.

"cut."

Jingzhao Yin picked up the token and threw it into the execution ground.

The executioner was already in position. When he saw the token fall to the ground, he raised his sword and slashed, and twenty-nine heads fell to the ground.

This will also open a new chapter of nationalizing fertile land. As the news spreads, many powerful people will definitely be afraid and will not dare to obstruct it.

of course.

With the conflicts of interest, it is impossible to make everyone face it calmly, and it is still a difficult process.

but.

Li Zheng used the lives of these criminal officials to intimidate them and make them the first to stand out, which was also a good thing.

Next.

Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed, their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated.

Never tolerate.

It was just the right time to use their property to fill the national treasury.

Time passes by gradually.

For the Tang Dynasty.

The world is changing with each passing day.

The implementation of land nationalization continued despite some obstacles, but the momentum of the court's implementation remained unabated.

When implementing this national policy, Li Zheng made long-term preparations.

Northern Xinjiang.

The Khitan tribe that was once destroyed by Li Zheng's troops.

Several years passed.

The tribe, which once had a large population, is now in ruins. Even the traces of being burned by the Tang Dynasty and the traces of being dug three feet underground are still there.

Even after all these years, this place is still not peaceful.

But today.

Outside this tribe.

A cavalry force of tens of thousands arrived in front of the already dilapidated Khitan tribe.

The leader had a scar on his face and looked at the tribe that had become ruins with hatred in his eyes.

"Tang Dynasty."

"Li Zheng."

"Just wait for me."

"The revenge for the murder of my father and the hatred for the extermination of my clan."

"One day, I will repay you for what you have done."

"I will destroy your Tang Dynasty and cut you into pieces as a reward."

"A blood feud that is so deep that I, Yelu Nagu, will never forget it."

The leading man was filled with hatred and muttered to himself.

immediately.

He dismounted, knelt down in front of the tribe, and shouted: "Father Khan, my people, wait for me, I am back, and I will avenge you."

"Now, I have unified the other Khitan tribes, and I am the new Khan."

"I now have the strength to avenge you."

“Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and every debtor has his own owner.”

"I will avenge this blood debt for you."

"Rest in peace."

Yelu Nagu said loudly.

He was none other than Yelu Nagu, the son of the former leader of the Khitan tribe.

Now, after so many years, he actually came back.

Moreover, looking at the army behind him, although they still had the simple weapons of the grassland and were not as heavily armored as the Tang Dynasty army, compared to their initial embarrassment, Yelu Nagu was clearly returning home with an air of glory.

"Sweat profusely."

“What should I do next?”

One of the men looked at Yelu Nagu and asked.

"Rebuilding the tribe."

"It belongs to the Khitan tribe of this Khan."

"Then, contact the Western Turks. They hate the Tang Dynasty just as much as we do."

"As long as we can get their support, it won't be difficult to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Yelu Nagu said coldly.

"Yes."

The subordinate nodded immediately.

This group of Khitan troops immediately dispersed and began to clean up the Khitan tribe that had become a ruin. "Father Khan."

"I am back."

"We will also establish a more powerful Khitan tribe and create the true glory of our Khitan."

"One day, I will personally bring Li Zheng's head to pay tribute to you and my people."

"Please protect me, your spirit in heaven." Yelu Nagu looked up at the sky and murmured.

time flies.

in a blink.

More than four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the wheat is golden. The fields are full of golden wheat, and the farmers are in the fields with smiles on their faces.

"Hahaha, Uncle Zhang, we have a good harvest this year."

"That's right. Besides paying taxes, everything else belongs to us. We don't have to pay the high rent anymore."

"From now on, this is our own farmland."

"Great."

"This is all a gift from His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"There is hope for the future."

"good…"

In the fields, farmers were laughing and talking everywhere, looking very happy.

Simultaneously.

Outside the city of Chang'an, fast horses rushed into a good city first, obviously reporting from soldiers from all over the world.

After the national policy is implemented.

It affected the interests of the wealthy and powerful, and armies were mobilized in various parts of the country, but the court had its backing, and it also concerned the interests of the people of the world. The implementation of the national policy also received the support of countless people. As long as someone obstructed it, the court's Ministry of War would immediately send troops to suppress it.

over the years.

It is unknown how many people the Tang Dynasty killed, nor how much wealth the Tang Dynasty seized.

of course.

During this process, the impact on the Tang Dynasty was not small. Trade routes, workshops, and everything else were affected. However, in Li Zheng's view, no matter how big the impact was, the national policy must be implemented.

This is the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

There must be no obstruction.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I will recalculate the good farmland and make a plan for the state."

"Now, except for some prefectures in the northern border and some prefectures along the border, 90% of the territory of the Tang Dynasty has completed the nationalization of land."

"If we continue at the current pace, the national policy can be fully implemented within half a year at most." Qin Jiansheng stood up and spoke excitedly.

"good very good."

Li Shimin smiled with joy.

For the implementation of this national policy.

Over the years, the imperial court has been running like a machine, madly.

Looking at the court, there used to be more than a hundred ministers standing from the two factions, but now there are less than a hundred people. It is obvious that in the process of implementing national policies, someone has violated the national law and was caught by the bad guys.

And it was not just in the court. Officials were found out by the Ministry of Personnel in prefectures and counties throughout the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then directly imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice.

among them.

Li Zheng’s insight into human nature is really the key.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

All the civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison.

Those who can still stand in this court today explain their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, they will never have the chance to stand in this court again.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you know how full the treasury is now?"

Li Zheng suddenly smiled and looked at the civil and military officials in the court.

The ministers looked at Li Zheng in confusion.

"Originally, I thought that the implementation of the national policy would consume too much national strength. The mobilization of various departments would require manpower, and the national treasury would also consume a lot of money."

“But I was wrong.”

"Compared to a bumper year, the treasury is now fuller."

Li Zheng smiled.
