"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Hundreds of people came to Li Chengqian's throne to salute.

When the poor saw Li Chengqian, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, while the patriarchs of the gentry just bowed.

Li Chengqian had a sneer on his lips, and stood up to help the poor farmer Liu and said, "You all come here."

Old Man Liu and others were shocked when they saw Li Chengqian, so they were so shocked that they were speechless. Li Chengqian said what he said, and hurriedly followed Li Chengqian's hand to the right and took a few steps to separate from the tribe leader of the gentry.

As the two sides separated, Li Chengqian turned around and returned to the throne and looked at Old Man Liu and others with a smile and said, "The Lone King has done too much in the past few days, and he doesn't have time to see you. I wonder if your fields are all divided, so you may have enough food every day?"

Since he learned that Li Chengqian was the current crown prince, Old Man Liu and all those who knew him but did not know him said that Old Man Liu had great luck. These days, Old Man Liu had long become a celebrity in Yichuan County. Many people went to see him specifically to hear him talk about "the days with the crown prince."

Seeing Li Chengqian again at this time, Old Man Liu couldn't even say anything excited.

"Okay, okay, we're all good!" After saying that, he paused, as if he remembered something and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince." He said that, he kowtowed on the ground again.

Li Chengqian hurriedly asked the eunuch to help him up, then turned to look at the others and said, "You are all assigned to the fields?"

These people were not much better than Old Man Liu. When they saw Li Chengqian asking, he hurriedly said, "I've been assigned, I've been assigned, and I've been given, and I've been given." After that, they all lay on the ground and kowtowed to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at these people and smiled and said, "Get up!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person kneeling in front of him up.

One of the young men didn't want to get up, and still lay on the ground, crying and said: "Our family is always begging for several lifetimes, and my father has never put on shoes in his whole life.

A few days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to divide the land, food, and a place to live. He also wanted to give me farm tools and seeds. My mother prayed to the emperor's gods at home sooner or later, and Bao You'll live a hundred years of long life. Now I know that I'm here to pay homage to His Highness, and I'm going to ask me to kowtow to His Highness a few more times."

Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty had a equal-field system, but Luoyang has always been the political and military center of the Northern Dynasties. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in all dynasties, and the nearby fields have long been divided up.

There was still a lot of land that had not been developed in the Tang Dynasty, but the beggars were not able to develop it.

The man said, crying and kowtowing, which made the civil and military officials and soldiers present sigh.

But the more this happens, the more embarrassed the tribe leaders next to them. They still bow to them.

Seeing that the man was crying sincerely, Li Chengqian helped him up and smiled and said, "If you have the land, you must cultivate it well. It is important that the whole family can have enough food."

"Hey! Hey!" the man hurriedly agreed.

Li Chengqian walked among these people and saw that they were all filled with tears in their eyes and were so excited that they could not express their feelings. He smiled and said, "There will be no gentry bullying you in Yichuan County, and your good days will be in the future.

The Lone King has ordered that the steel mill in Luoyang begin to build farm tools for you, and also invite nearby doctors to treat you and your family.

You must keep your eyes open in the future and don’t easily believe the words of those gentry and cult demons. They have their own selfish intentions and want to harm you."

The words Li Chengqian said have been instilled in the people of Yichuan County these days. Those who can be called to see Li Chengqian understand this truth.

Hearing this, he was scrambling to express his loyalty to Li Chengqian, and also told about their personal experiences, all about the gentry bullying on weekdays.

Li Chengqian walked back to the throne and listened with relish, and there was a civil servant behind him to record.

But these words made the gentry leader frightened. Some things that were extremely common in their homes are now extremely guilty and it is not an exaggeration to behead the head and search the house.

For example, if the head of the family likes someone's daughter, he will naturally take it directly into the room, but if the wife likes someone, he will have to find a way to kill the other person's husband.

In short, these privileged rural gentry really don’t take human lives seriously on weekdays.

When the government gave them face, there was nothing wrong, but if it were someone like Li Chengqian, it would be no exaggeration to confiscate the family and destroy the clan.

"Your Highness, you don't know anything! I've been hurt by the Zhao family in Chengguan when I fell to this point." A young man in his twenties said with tears in his eyes.

From the corner of his eyes, Li Chengqian saw the gentry over there still bent and stood there without the intention of saluting again, so he said to him: "Look at the same time, telling the Lone King what's going on?"

I thought to myself: I don’t believe you are not tired?

The young man could no longer hold back his tears when he heard Li Chengqian's soft questioning. He lowered his head and cried, "It was also the fault of the villain's carelessness. The villain's family was originally a tenant of the Zhao family, and they have been a cattle and horse for their family for generations.

When the villain was seventeen years old, there was a severe drought in Xingyang. Everyone in Xingyang came to us to escape from the famine. My mother saw that there was a young lady among the people who were fled to the famine. She took out three dou of rice from the house and changed it to the villain as her daughter-in-law.

My wife's name is Dani. She is not only beautiful but also virtuous, but she is obedient to me and my mother.

After I got married to my wife, Zhao Dalang's Changsui found me less than a month later. He said that he heard that I had married a wife and had a hard time with his family, so he asked me to follow him to Luoyang to buy thick satin and come back to settle the house with two taels of silver.

I was so happy that I took the dry food made by my wife and followed me. But halfway through the way, they actually tied me up and threw it into Yihe while I was asleep."

"Ah! Why did they throw you into the river?" Pei Xingjian couldn't help asking when he heard this.

The young man wiped away his tears when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that Zhao Dalang likes my wife, he just wants to dominate my wife."

The next day, I was washed up on the shore by waves. After being rescued, I went home overnight. I heard that the eldest son of the Zhao family went back and said, "I stole his silver and ran away!"

Zhao Dalang took someone to arrest my wife to pay off the debt, and even reported to the official to arrest me everywhere.

My mother was so angry that she was so angry that she wanted to sneak into his house to rescue my wife and flee to Yichuan County. But after three days, my wife was also beaten to death by Zhao Dalang's wife in the Zhao family. Woo woo..."

"I heard that the Zhao family in Chengguan of Yichuan County was a branch of the Zhao family in Tianshui, and they actually did such a thing." Pei Xingjian said in surprise.

The Zhao family in Tianshui was a descendant of the Zhao family of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, one of them moved to Tianshui, and during the Northern Wei Dynasty, a branch moved to Luoyang. After a hundred years of growth and leaves, there were many Zhao clans in nearby prefectures and counties.

Among the clan leaders who came to meet Li Chengqian today, there was a clan leader named Zhao, who was a descendant of the Zhao family in Tianshui.

Li Chengqian ignored Pei Xingjian and turned around and asked Li Yifu: "How did the Zhao family in Chengguan judge this?"

Li Yifu hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to the Crown Prince, the Zhao clan in Chengguan has done a lot of evil deeds. In addition to murdering Sun Dalang's family, I have had dozens of murder cases since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I have sentenced that all males over 16 years old in their family would be beheaded and their family was exiled to Lingnan and would never return to their hometown."

The patriarchs of the gentry were frightened when they heard this, but they also knew about these things these days, and they could still hold on if they listened to them.

The clan leaders still bowed and stood there, waiting for Li Chengqian to order them to calm down first.

However, Li Chengqian was prepared for a long time, and immediately stood up, with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty has long been interested in building the Eastern Capital in Luoyang. People like Li Bancheng Zhao Dalang must clean up in advance. The Orphan King's order was passed on, and people from all over Luozhou could team up to go to the government to report the crimes of local tyrants and evil gentry. Anyone who is inquired about the truth will be sentenced to the heavy sentence, and the land will be distributed equally to the local people who have no land to cultivate."

"ah--"

plop, plop,...

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the tribe leaders of the gentry could no longer hold on and knelt down one after another.

"Please beg your prince! Please beg your prince!"

These people have some brains and know that with Li Chengqian's order, even if the poor and tenants are doing their land, they will definitely work together to report their past crimes.
