Chapter 94 Dao is different and does not conspire!
Ouyang Bian is actually a very cautious person and tries to unite most of the people, but he can only face difficulties with the main contradictions that cannot be reconciled.
For example, the previous Cao and Zhang families tried to focus on unity for other people. Even the landlords who stood opposite each other in Qingzhang's land still had measures to comfort them.
But even so, he still really offended some people.
For example, the Zhang family and the Cao family.
However, the Zhang family has been severely damaged and has no foundation in the court. If such a family offends, it will be offended, and it will not be able to make a fortune.
But the Cao family is different.
The Cao family was also seriously damaged, but as long as the Empress Dowager Cao was there, the Cao family would not be defeated.
The Cao family and Han Qi are actually considered mortal enemies. If it weren't for Han Qi, Empress Dowager Cao would probably still be in charge of the power of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Yingzong had a short life, and only had more than three years of power. Empress Dowager Cao had been in power for one year. If it weren't for Han Qi, if it weren't for Han Qi, he would have endured Yingzong to death for another two years.
When Zhao Xu arrived, Empress Dowager Cao could still hold on to power as Zhao Xu was young and unstable. Who could stand up to her?
In fact, the Cao family hated the resignation of Empress Dowager Cao, but now they want to unite with Han Qi.
Those who make them abandon hatred will naturally be stronger political enemies.
The Cao family is actually not very interested in overthrowing Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, because the Cao family is a national relative and a general, and generally adopts unity rather than occupying the political arena.
For the Cao family, whether it is Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, or Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Jun, the difference is really not very big. No matter who is in power, they can compromise with each other.
But why did Cao Qi propose to oust Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi off the stage? In fact, one is to let Han Qi return to the political affairs hall, and the other is to let Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Jun meet the center. This is the meaning of rewarding merit.
Otherwise, for the Cao family, just driving Ouyang Bian away would be enough for them to protect their own interests.
But now to deal with Ouyang Bian, we must drive Fu Bi away. They have to drive Fu Bi away. Their strength is not enough, so we have to pull Han Qi, but Han Qi is definitely not satisfied with the second minister, so we have to free up Wen Yanbo's position for Han Qi.
Even Han Qi felt it was a bit difficult to touch so many people with such a high power at once, so he asked.
Cao Qi was quite confident about this: "Although Ouyang Bian is young, he is really cautious in his work. However, no matter how cautious he is, he will suffer from insufficient experience.
We couldn't find his flaws at first, but I've seen something come recently…”
Han Qi's face suddenly became solemn.
Cao Qi smiled and said, "...First, among the land in the clearing of the land, Ouyang Bian gave farmers a benefit to prevent the poor and lower-middle peasants from joining the opposition, which was that all farmers with less than 40 mu of land could hold 20 mu of hidden land without paying taxes.
This is not paid taxes, which the court promised during the inspection process. The farmers believed it, so the clearance of the land and acres can be carried out smoothly.
But what if those tax collectors not only do not reduce or exempt, but also collect taxes based on the land they have inspected?"
Cao Qi smiled proudly.
Han Qi felt a sense of frigidity in his heart.
He remembered his death in Qingzhangtianmu, which he had died a few times. It turned out that he was obstructed by villains like them.
Cao Qi did not notice Han Qi's disgust and continued to say proudly: "As soon as we incite, there will definitely be many mud legs to stand up and resist. At that time, farmers will rebel everywhere. Then the policy of clearing the land and acres is a bad policy.
Then whether it is the nominal Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, or the actual operation of Ouyang Bian, they will be the maker of this evil policy. They are the sinners of the Song Dynasty, and they will have to take this responsibility. We will add fuel to the fire at that time. It is impossible for the little emperor to protect them, haha!"
Han Qi looked at Cao Qi who looked like a villain, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"What else?"
Han Qi looked as if nothing happened.
Cao Qizhizhu was in charge: "In addition, in the discussion on tax law reform this year, I discovered a problem. Ouyang Bian wanted to put all the hidden land in the names of farmers. What does this mean? Han Xiang should know?"
Han Qi frowned: "Ouyang Bian is a little aggressive."
Cao Qi smiled and said, "It's good to be aggressive. If he doesn't make progress, how can I incite the landlords to oppose him?"
In order to reduce the resistance to clearing the land, Ouyang Bian used this trick, which not only allowed farmers to legitimately cultivate hidden fields, but also defaulted that the landlord could send the fields to farmers, so as to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.
Now Ouyang Bian wants to issue a land certificate to the farmers and formally give the fields to the farmers. Isn’t this a way to cede the landlord’s meat?
As long as we publish this news, not only farmers must rebel, but also landlords must rebel. In this way, I don’t believe that these villains will be overturned.
Not to mention the tax law reform that Ouyang Bian is promoting, this is an evil law that harms everyone. People in the world have long been dissatisfied with it!"
Zeng Gongliang smiled and said, "At that time, as long as the disciples and disciples are allowed to support the court, whether it is Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi or Ouyang Bian, they will have to step down. At that time, the world is in trouble, and there must be a respected person to preside over the situation. Who else has such qualifications except Han Xiang?"
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "That's true, what do you think Han Xiang?"
Han Qi closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.
Sometimes he wondered how the Song Dynasty came to this situation step by step. From his confrontation with Xixia in the northwest, to the later Qingli New Deal, and to the Jiayou rule a few years ago, no matter how hard they tried, they always failed.
Not only does the national trend not have a better trend, but it is getting worse.
It is Ouyang Bian's seemingly unorthodox practices that have created such a great situation today.
Now Ouyang Bian is on the right path, but these real villains are going to come out to interfere.
What disappointed him even more was that even gentlemen who were considered to be upright in the past became like today.
It really makes people can't help but scold my mother for selling criticism!
Cao Qi looked at Han Qi with anticipation, waiting for Han Qi's reply.
After a long time, Han Qi opened his eyes: "Okay, it's getting late, everyone, be careful on the way."
Cao Qi: "..."
Zeng Gongliang: “…”
Zhao Jun: "..."
The three of them looked at each other in a glance.
"Han Xiang, what do you mean?"
Cao Qi looked surprised.
Han Qi's eyes showed disgust: "Don't do anything to do each other, please."
Cao Qi showed a look of shame and anger.
Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Jun were also a little ashamed.
