In front of the "virtuous wife", Qin Shaoyou dared not hide it from it, and was busy telling all the things he discussed today.

Li Lingyue's eyes lit up. This was not a modification, but in this gloomy light, Qin Shaoyou clearly saw the bright eyes in the dark flashing like stars. The depths of her eyes were so hungry that even Qin Shaoyou was infected by her.

Li Lingyue was very energetic and didn't seem to be sick. He pointed his fingers: "Hongnong County, I have heard of the nine counties under his jurisdiction, including Hongnong, Shan County, Hu County, Huayin, Lushi, Miaochi, Xin'an, Yiyang, and Luhun. Among them, Hongnong County is the richest. Last year, Hongnong County ranked third in the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue, and Hongnong County was also a major county. Our Qin family is in Mengjin, but this is not a big one. Although you were enthroned in Hongnong, Hongnong and Mengjin are also bordering. Mengjin should also be allocated to Hongnong. I will count again. This is the place of ten counties. Oh, weren't you planting some cotton a few days ago? It is said that it has improved and can transplant and promote cotton. In addition, you can also build a large horse market. By the way, how many food households can there be? I guess there are no less than 100,000 households."

Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and corrected her: "I checked it, there are 270,000 households."

Li Lingyue was shocked: "That's a million people. If Mengjin is added, wouldn't there be a 1.5 million people? Oh...my husband..." She suddenly entered Qin Shaoyou's arms. Qin Shaoyou's body was shocked, and immediately thought of the keywords and sensitive words of later generations. She was busy changing the topic and said: "The most important thing at the moment is not this, but that we probably don't even have half of the foodies we can use."

Li Lingyue said in shock, "Why is this?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "Hongnong has many wealthy families."

Suddenly, Li Lingyue understood that although the gentry also had to pay taxes, the taxes were originally given to the court, but now they were all given to the Tiance Army. But the problem is that the gentry had privileges and strength, so they were obviously tens of millions of fertile land, but they were probably not even a hundred acres of real payouts. After all, they were not ordinary people, and taxation was just a matter of intention in the past. Now even if the Tiance Army was replaced, could this stubborn problem be solved?

Moreover, the gentry's best at concealing the population, which is also a chronic disease that has always existed. The imperial court registered 270,000 households in Hongnong County, but only God knows how many people there are. After all, after registering, one has to pay taxes and be responsible for corvee labor. However, concealing the report is equivalent to putting these labors under the gentry's.

Li Lingyue frowned and couldn't help but gritted her teeth: "What are you afraid of in Guandong people? When Taizong and Emperor Gao were there, they were just a group of kowtow insects. Now they dare..."

"Today is different from the past." Qin Shaoyou said decisively: "The Guandong gentry has all lasted for hundreds of years, been rich for dozens of generations, and has a long family background. It can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. In the past, it was indeed suppressed by the Guanlong gentry, but it does not mean that they are weak and bullied. As far as I know, many people have private soldiers in their families, and the number of private soldiers is unknown. Many people have mostly officials, ministers in the court, and Hongnong people account for one or two. Although they cannot compare with the Guanlong gentry, they should not underestimate it. The problem is that if we stab the hornet's nest, they will definitely rebound. At that time, both sides will suffer losses. On the contrary, it may be that the snipe and clam fight against each other and the fisherman will benefit. But if some measures are not taken, they will despise you, become more arrogant and unrestrained, forcing you to the corner, making the Tiance Army unable to gain a foothold in Hongnong. This is not easy."

Li Lingyue held his chin and said, "So we have no choice but to say that, damn it. King Liang threw such a thing, but we were both able to see it but couldn't eat it."

Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly: "No hurry, I think they will always be polite first and then soldiers, let's see what they say. After all, we have great righteousness, in terms of emotion and reason, and now we are the dominant ones."

Li Lingyue held his little head in sorrow and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible to move. You also say that it's a hornet's nest. It's okay to offend a family, but it's okay to offend hundreds of families, and even break the rules. Even if the gentry in the world looks at each other. Besides, they have private soldiers and their husbands are not the court. Can you still treat them as traitors? Oh my, I feel so uncomfortable. What should I do?"

Qin Shaoyou said angrily: "You and I have not yet entered the bridal chamber, so let's talk about this."

Li Lingyue sighed for a while and became happy, so she naturally didn't mention the wax when she was blowing the light.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When I woke up early the next morning, someone came to report that it was Hongnong and Yang Jiong who asked for a meeting.

Hongnong Yang Jiong...

Qin Shaoyou was quite surprised when he heard the name of this person, because this person is not small, Yang Jiong's official position is actually not very big, but he just took a free position. Because when Xu Jingye rebelled, Yang Jiong was so happy that he could not die. In Hongnong, many of the children of the clan participated. Wu Zetian was furious, but he was afraid of the prestige of the Yang family and just demoted them.

But even so, the Yang family of Hongnong was also the most powerful family in the world. Its status was roughly equivalent to the Cui family of the five surnames and seven families. As early as the Han Dynasty, the Yang family was as famous as the Yuan family. They were both examples of the three generations of four generations and three dukes. Many of them served as prime ministers and Taiwei. Later, they also held important positions in countless dynasties when they arrived in the Sui Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, the famous ones were Yang Su, Duke of Yue and his son Yang Xuangan. When they arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Taizong married the Yang woman as a concubine. Wu Zetian's mother also came from the Yang family of Hongnong. Even in history, after Li Longji ascended the throne, the empress and imperial concubines established by him were also from the Yang family of Hongnong. Yang had eleven prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

Unlike the five surnames and seven families, there are also many wealthy families in the Kanto region, such as the Pei family in Hedong, Liu family in Hedong, Xue family in Hedong, Yang family in Hedong, Du family in Jingzhao, Yang family and even the most outstanding family among the four surnames. Of course, this time, the Yang family suffered the greatest losses.

Qin Shaoyou didn't dare to be negligent about this person. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw Yang Jiong arrive. He was thin and quite old. He always coughed when he spoke. However, Wang Jujing was with him at the last seat and chatted with him.

When Wang Ju saw Qin Shaoyou coming, he stood up and said, "Your Highness, this is the uncle Shi, the student often mentioned to His Highness, Yang Gong of Hongnong, and Yang Gong are famous for their poetry and paintings, and everyone in the world praises them."

It turns out... Wang Ju is still Yang Jiong's nephew.

Qin Shaoyou had to smile bitterly in his heart, it was so chaotic for the precious circle.

He hurriedly went up to see the ceremony: "Yang Gong Daming, Xiao Wang has been famous for a long time."

Yang Jiong smiled and returned a greeting: "The name of King Hongnong is also well-known. I have heard of it when I live in Hongnong." He smiled and ate a bite of tea: "But in my eyes, this most famous one is this princess tea."

This is a harmless joke. Wang Ju smiled quickly and said, "Uncle Shi likes it. There is princess tea here. I can send a car to you the next day, so it's okay."

Qin Shaoyou looked at Wang Ju. This guy was so generous, and he was in a whole car.

However, he clearly understood Wang Ju’s intentions and could be generous, but in some places, he could not give in. A friendship and a cart of tea are nothing. As long as it does not touch the root of interests, everything is easy to say.

Yang Jiong looked at Wang Ju with a smile, but waved his hand: "If you can't, you can't help but receive money without any achievements. How can you be embarrassed to eat your tea? Besides, I can still afford it."

His attitude was also quite firm, which made Wang Ju smile embarrassedly. A person who doesn’t have to make small profits may not be arrogant. Perhaps what he wants is greater benefits.

Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but ask: "But I don't know what advice should I give to Mr. Yang come to the door?"

Yang Jiong was still idle, eating tea slowly, and then said, "Oh, there is such a thing. Now the Tiance Army is not a foodie Hongnong? This Hongnong County is equivalent to the fiefdom of Your Highness. All military, political, tax, money and food are returned to Hongnong County. Alas... Heroes are young. When you were so old, I didn't know where to mess around, and people were unmatched."

He started to make turns again.

Qin Shaoyou just looked at him and waited for his later words.

Yang Jiong paused and said, "I know a little about Tiance Mansion, but I have established this Mengjin as a land of fish and rice. Now that your Highness is in charge of Hongnong, Hongnong, and Hongnong are really looking forward to it. Your Highness is what I hope to implement benevolent government."

After saying so much, he still didn't know what he was going to come. Qin Shaoyou complained in his heart. He wanted to amplify the killing weapon and call Shangguan Chen to entertain guests. When Shangguan Chen comes, let's see how Yang Jiong is still free and at ease.

Yang Jiong's face slightly darkened, but he narrowed his eyes and said, "But all the time, what the people have asked for is just a meal, so I came here deliberately, but wanted to hear what good policies the Tiance Mansion plans to do. This is not a plea for the people. It's just that I'm chasing too much. Your Highness won't be surprised."

Qin Shaoyou's face had no expression, but his eyes were intertwined with Wang Ju.

On the surface, they came to ask about politics, but most of them came to discuss policies with Qin Shaoyou, but the problem is, who is the master here? Of course, there are some things that need to be asked for, but Qin Shaoyou is the real master. Although Yang Jiong was kind, behind this, he clearly wanted everyone to ask for advice from each other. Yang Jiong could ask for advice, but could other gentry not? In the end... Isn't it like someone was holding a bull's nose?
