Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

So for the action of the aristocratic families uniting together this time.

They also only provided secret support, and did not support generals or officials in Longzhou County to raise troops like other aristocratic families.

And these secret supports must be very secretive and will not leave any clues.

 …  

Therefore, the elders of the Zhao family felt that as long as the court could not find evidence, even if the Empress Wu Zhou had doubts about the Zhao family in Longzhou, she would not be able to act casually.

If you really want to do it directly without evidence.

A foolish king, a tyrant, would definitely not be able to escape.

It will even cause everyone in the world to be in danger, and make the world's aristocratic families have to really rebel.

After hearing the words of the elders in front of him, Zhao Mu, who was in charge, couldn't help being speechless.

He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

If it wasn't for the ear problems, why would the elders of his family become so innocent?

evidence?

Unknown teacher?

What are those things?

There is a saying, if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!

This is the case for wanting to impose a crime, not to mention that the foundation of the powerful family is not clean.

In the past, it was fine if you didn't check it. If you really want to be serious, you must check it out.

One counts as one, and no family can escape.

Could it be that these elders of my family really feel that apart from rebellion, they have never done anything illegal or indisciplined?

Ok!

Even if their Longzhou Zhao family is really as clean as a white lotus.

Couldn't the court find any other reason to deal with them?

For example, when you have an audience, do you step forward with your left foot or your right foot?

In other words, is it the land of the king in the whole world, has your family's blessed land been approved by the imperial court for development and living?

Etc., etc!

Want to find a reason to accuse!

That's really not that simple.

In the final analysis, these elders of the Zhao clan still had a little bit of luck.

For this, Zhao Mu felt that he was really tired!

Such a group of teammates, I really can't move them![-] million.

Chapter 306 The Real Reason of Li Tang's Poverty, The Giant Rat of the Aristocratic Family! (seeking subscription)

Outside the city of Longzhou County, there are vast fertile fields and connected rice fields.

There are farmers who work hard and cultivate hard.

When the female emperor's hunting flying boats slowly appeared outside the city of Longzhou County, there was a commotion below.

All of them looked in shock at the group of flying boats that looked like hills above their heads.

In the distance, the guards on the city wall were shocked when they saw the flying boats.

Especially when they saw the patrolling flying boats slowly slowing down in mid-air, and finally stagnated in the sky outside Longzhou County.

Even if someone turned his head and ran quickly in the direction of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Longzhou is about to change!

Such a thought could not help but emerge in everyone's mind.

"Pause for a moment, let the Xiaowei take over the Longzhou camp, and the Qianniuwei take over the Longzhou city defense."

On the Yuhai dragon boat, Wu Mingkong glanced at the county town of Longzhou not far away, and spoke lightly.

"As ordered!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who was accompanying her at the side, nodded in obedience and passed on the order.

Immediately, the flying boat of Qianniuwei, which was surrounded by the Yuhai dragon boat, and the flying boat of Xiaowei, who was guarding the periphery, slowly moved away from the group of flying boats, and headed towards Longzhou County City and Longzhou Camp respectively. .

The mighty team, no longer move forward.

"Sir, how much of the fertile land outside Longzhou County belongs to ordinary people?"

Wu Mingkong looked at the tens of thousands of hectares of fields under his feet, and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Chen Qi also glanced at the tens of thousands of hectares of spiritual fields under his feet, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's less than [-]%!"

Different from the ordinary Xiaoqian world, the fields in the earth fairy world can be divided into spiritual fields and ordinary fields.

The so-called spiritual fields are fields where spiritual plants and spiritual medicines can be grown.

Full of inspiration, the crops planted can help people practice.

And Fantian, that is, ordinary fields, can only grow whole grains.

The aura is poor, and the crops grown can only be used to feed the hunger.

In the world, there are many mortal fields, but few spiritual fields.

Except for some spiritual lands, there are only spiritual fields in and around county towns.

The reason is very simple, because all county towns and county towns are covered by large formations, attracting the aura of heaven and earth.

After being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, the fields around the city naturally became spiritual fields.

There is no doubt about the importance of Lingtian.

The reason why the clans of the Shenzhou aristocratic families and the holy land of the sect can stand upright is because of the spiritual field in their hands, it can be said that the contribution is indispensable.

After all, in the early stage of practice, it is still relatively dependent on external resources.

Where do these resources come from?

Nine times out of ten, it came from the spiritual fields and spiritual lands under his control.

Longzhou county city, as a county city in a state, naturally has a defense formation.

Under the nourishment of the sun and the moon, many spiritual fields appeared outside the city of Longzhou County.

In particular, the inner and outer cities of Longzhou have formed a spiritual land, where monks live, which is beneficial to practice, so many warriors and monks are attracted to settle down.

It stands to reason that these spiritual fields and lands should be under the control of the imperial court, and they are also the main source of taxes for the imperial court's spiritual plants.

It's a pity that in the world's three hundred prefectures, except for Chang'an City, most of the spiritual fields and lands in the other prefectures have fallen into the hands of aristocratic families and sects.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial court can't get much.

Therefore, what Chen Qi said "less than [-]%" is still a high-level statement.

If you really check carefully, I'm afraid there is not a single point.

"Sir, you see it very clearly!"

Wu Mingkong smiled and did not deny it.

Afterwards, she looked at the ten thousand hectares of spiritual fields below, with a smile on her lips: "Then, sir, do you know how many spiritual lands and spiritual fields there are in Longzhou County according to the official records of the imperial court?"

"According to the official records of the imperial court, Longzhou County has a total of [-] lands and [-] lands."

Chen Qi spoke lightly, he seemed to have understood what Wu Mingkong wanted to say.

So he didn't wait for Wu Mingkong to continue, and said directly: "Of course, this is also the official data recorded in the former Tang Dynasty. If it is measured on the spot, then the area of ​​spiritual land planted in Longzhou County is about 29 square meters. Lingtian About [-] tilts."

I have to say, this is very family!

Of the [-] Qings of spiritual lands, only [-] Qings were registered and reported to the imperial court.

The nearly 30-square-foot spiritual field has only been reported for [-] square meters.

I was greedy for more than half of ink, leaving only a fraction for the court.

The most important thing is that, if Chen Qi remembers correctly, according to the official records of the former Sui Dynasty, Longzhou County has 12 spiritual lands and [-] spiritual fields that are planted.

In addition, because of the formation of the city, these spiritual fields and spiritual lands will only increase, not decrease.

As a result, after the fall of the former Sui Dynasty and the Li and Tang dynasties, the number and area of ​​the spiritual fields and lands decreased sharply.

Well, the reduction is not one point or two points.

Instead, it was directly reduced by ten times, twenty times!

So it's no wonder that the Li Tang court was so poor.

This is the case, it is really strange not to be poor.

Don't ask Chen Qi why he knows these data so clearly.

The former is clearly recorded in the imperial court archives, while the latter is obtained from his investigations from the heaven and the earth with the help of his power of investigating things and knowing. Anyway, he can't be wrong.

Hearing Chen Qi's answer, Wu Mingkong couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, looked at Chen Qi with some surprise, and asked, "Sir, there are 29 Qing of spiritual land planted in Longzhou County, and [-] Qing The spiritual field is being planted?"

"Not bad!"

Chen Qi replied affirmatively.

After receiving Chen Qi's affirmation, Wu Mingkong couldn't help frowning.

Because the data that Chen Qi said, and she sent people to investigate, there is really a lot of new experience.

According to the situation she sent people to investigate, Longzhou County should have about 14 lands and [-] lands.

Although this kind of data is less than she expected, it can barely match the official records of the former Sui Dynasty with 0...

As a result, now Chen Qi told her.

Beauty, the data you found out is only half of the real data, and the remaining half is still hidden.

How does this not shock her.

You know, she sent her capable confidants to investigate.

She also didn't believe that her confidant would lie to her.

And if the facts are as Chen Qi said, there are 29 lands planted in Longzhou County, and [-] lands.

Then it can only be said that the means of hiding the spiritual fields and spiritual lands of the aristocratic families and the holy places of the sects are too high.

Knowing such a result, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but gloomy face, feeling that he still underestimated the greed of the aristocratic family.

I thought it would be outrageous enough to be greedy for nine out of ten.

In the end, the facts told her that the people's greed was not nine out of ten, but ninety percent ninety percent (because most of the official lingtians and spiritual lands belonged to aristocratic families, and there were also imperial tax reductions).

There is only a little bit left to the court, just like sending beggars away.

Give the simplest example.

Let's say that Lingtian Lingtian in Longzhou County is all planted with Lingmi, with a total annual output of [-] catties.

Well, according to the official records of Longzhou County, the production of Lingtian Lingtian is about five thousand catties.

In contrast, the Lingzhi tax collection ratio in the former Tang Dynasty was about one tenth tax.

In other words, the imperial court can collect only [-] catties of Lingmi from Longzhou County.

So, where did the remaining [-] catties of Lingmi go?

Most of them fell into the hands of the aristocratic family and the holy land of the sect.

Do you think this situation is outrageous?

Of course, if you think this is outrageous, you are very wrong.

Because of 4.5, according to the law of the former Tang Dynasty, there are also preferential taxes for the spiritual plants of the aristocratic families and the holy places of the immortals.
