When leaving Liangyi Hall, Gao Feng called Yi Feng halfway.
"King Zhao please get on the car and chat with me on the road, how about it?" Gao Feng said.
Yi Feng chuckled, pulled the bright yellow four-clawed python dragon king robe, and jumped onto Gao Yang's four-wheeled carriage without any hesitation. If he had not been able to get on Gao Yang's carriage so easily before today, he had to consider the consequences of such secret actions as the prime minister of the current dynasty. But now, although Gao Yang still retains the position of prime minister as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, in fact, he has been given out of the core circle of the imperial center by the emperor. With this title for him, Yi Feng guessed that the emperor just did not want to stimulate the current court officials, so he kept him, which means that the tone for the Wang Shiji case was set. So far, the matter was the same as the tone for the military and horse smuggling case.
But this former number one official of the Sui Dynasty has indeed withdrawn from the center of the power stage. Now I get in his car and chat with him, it doesn’t matter if it is passed to the emperor.
Gao Yang was very happy. Perhaps he had retreated, but he took some attention more and more seriously. On the way out of the Liangyi Palace, he sensitively felt the different gazes of the ministers at him. In the past, there was a hint of admiration in awe, but now he was a little afraid to avoid it. King Zhao had always kept a distance from him in the past, but now at this time, he did not refuse his invitation. He was able to get in the car directly, which made him feel much better.
"When will King Zhao leave Beijing and return to Youzhou?" The four-wheeled carriage is very spacious. Although the decoration in the carriage is not luxurious, it is also very comfortable to arrange. The cold wind is howling outside. There are several charcoal basins in the carriage, and the carriage is as warm as spring.
Yi Feng sat opposite Gao Feng, took a glass of wine that Gao Feng poured himself, took a sip, and immediately tasted it. This was the red wine from Huaihuang Wine House. "I guess I will leave Beijing as soon as the Spring Festival is over. The specific time depends on Your Majesty's will."
"Do you want to add ice?" Gao Yang asked the maid to bring a small basin of ice and first added a piece to his red wine glass. "Young people in Beijing like to drink red wine and also add ice. I prefer to drink purple wine and rock sugar. Now that I put down the burden on my shoulders, I feel that I have become much younger, so I can also compensate for the taste of adding ice to the red wine."
"The old prime minister worked hard for the Great Sui Dynasty for half his life and could enjoy it for more time. It was actually good." Yi Feng smiled, "I don't drink this red wine very much. I can't hide it from it compared to red wine, purple wine and white wine. I prefer to drink the light and refreshing ale wine. I can drink it with big mouthfuls when I drink it, but I don't have to worry about getting drunk, and I don't worry about drinking it or drinking it will make a mistake."
Gao Yang picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of the red wine with ice. He felt a coldness flowing into his stomach. Just like his mood at this time. He sighed and Gao Yang smiled bitterly, "I have been in charge of the center for more than ten years and I am about to be sixty. At this time, I am relieved to retreat home and go home. But the only thing I am worried about is the prince." He looked at Yi Feng and said seriously, "Today, Your Majesty asked me to leave the center with dignity. I dare not complain, but I am worried. I am worried. Your Majesty asked me to leave the center. This is to change the prince."
Gao Ying felt it was time to show up with Yang Lin. He had a clear understanding of his being driven out of the center at this time, that is, the emperor had to clear the obstacles to the deposed prince. He has always been the most steadfast supporter of the prince. This was not just because his son married the prince's daughter, and the prince married his clan sister. It was because Gao Yang always felt that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate, and the elders were orderly. After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, although the country was rich and the people were prosperous and prosperous, the heirs were in line.
It is extremely important for the court. The emperor's five sons are all legitimate sons of one mother and one compatriot, so of course the eldest son is the crown prince. The crown prince was established as the crown prince when the emperor was a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and was appointed as the crown prince after the founding of the country. For more than ten years, although the crown prince is not considered a wise man, there is no big mistake. In this case, there is no need to change the crown prince, and it will even become the source of turmoil. He has always firmly supported the crown prince, but now the emperor regards him as an obstacle.
Gao Yang once thought of giving up his support for the prince, and even as long as he maintains a neutral attitude towards the affairs of the crown prince, he might not have the same result today. But now, the Gao family and the prince are already too closely connected, and even if he thinks like this, he can't do it. The interests of the Gao family are completely tied to the prince. If the prince is really deposed, the future future of the Gao family in Bohai will be very worrying. In any case, he should fight for it again. Gao Yang's opinion seems that after he was kicked out of the court by the emperor, the princelings have suffered heavy damage.
Wang Shiji, Yuan Zhou, Yuan Min and himself, four important supporters of the Crown Prince fell in one day, which was really tragic for the Crown Prince. Gao Bing felt that the only person who could save this unfavorable situation and support the unfavorable situation of the Crown Prince was the young and favored King Zhao in front of him. King Zhao was now extremely favored, especially after becoming the chief general of Youzhou this time, the emperor even denied the recommendation of all the ministers and directly appointed the new chief general governor of Youzhou Prefecture. These people were all people who could be used by King Zhao. Everyone could see the emperor's trust in King Zhao, and it was obvious that the emperor was tying up for King Zhao. Gao Bing had always been unable to understand that the emperor did not stop attacking the Crown Prince, but also suppressed the King Jin Party, but at the same time, he supported the eldest son of the Crown Prince.
Although he couldn't figure out why, he felt that if the prince was deposed, it would be bad news for King Zhao. Therefore, he felt that at this time, King Zhao should take action to protect the princelings.
"I know there is some gap between the Prince Zhao and the Prince, but King Zhao should not forget that you are the son of the prince and the eldest son. If the prince is deposed, this is definitely not good news for the Prince Zhao. You are father and son, prosper and both prosper and lose. If the prince can maintain the position of the Eastern Palace, he will inherit the throne in the future. As the eldest son of the prince, he will be the prince in the future. If the prince is deposed, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, let me ask. Who can tolerate the eldest son of the former prince? To put it seriously, once such a thing as a change of throne really happens, the best outcome of the King of Zhao may be the new king to become a rich and prosperous prince after he ascends the throne, and the greater possibility is to receive a glass of poisonous wine."
Hearing these words, Yi Feng knew that the prince did not tell Gao Yang all his true background. He couldn't help but feel sad for Gao Yang. He thought about and planned for the prince, but the prince never completely believed him and had always reserved something to him.
"The prime minister's words are very bold."
"I'm just telling the truth." Gao Feng said very directly.
Yi Feng picked up the wine glass and gently shook the fishy red wine in the glass. He was not the son of the prince at all, so it can be said that they were destined to be together. However, he did not intend to tell the truth about Gao Yan at the moment.
"The Prime Minister's words are not entirely true." Yi Feng shook his head, "Even if the prince can really keep the position of the Eastern Palace and even inherit the throne in the future, then it will not be the turn of the Eastern Palace at that time."
"The King of Zhao does not have this concern, nor should he have this concern. At the moment, only when you, father and son are united, can we have hope. Otherwise, if the prince is deposed, you and I will be buried with you, isn't that a dangerous thing?"
"I will consider it, but no matter what the final result is, I still have to thank the prime minister for the fine wine treat." Yi Feng spoke, called the parking man and got out of the car and left. The only one left Gao Yang sat in the car, holding the wine glass and fell into deep thought.
After getting off the Gaofeng carriage. Yuchi Gong had already brought his mount. Although Yi Feng was the producer and seller of four-wheeled carriages in Beijing, he rarely rode horses in Beijing, and often rode horses. Xu Deyan once persuaded him to ride a special four-wheeled carriage. This four-wheeled carriage was specially built by the rich and prominent, with excellent defensive performance and excellent defense against raids and assassinations.
"What did Old Man Gao talk about with the Grand Marshal?" Cheng Yaojin always did this, and he had to ask any questions or not. Yi Feng was not surprised. He did not regard Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong as ordinary flag guards, but regarded them as his real disciples and adopted sons, so he often explained many complicated things to them. He just smiled and replied, "Old Man Gao is scared."
"Why are you going to help him?" Yuchi Gong asked.
Cheng Yaojin said on the side, "Help him, didn't the Grand Marshal say that this old man Gao has been given out of the court by the emperor? Then he still cares about his bird."
Yi Feng couldn't help but smile, "Yao Jin is right, please pay attention to him."
"Is this really possible?" Yuchi Gong asked.
Yi Feng turned his head and looked back at the palaces, "No matter how prosperous the capital is, it is not our home. Our home is in Yanyun."
What he thought about now was that he wanted to return to Yanyun early. In this capital, no matter how prominent the official title was, he would feel ineffective, and that was a sense of rootlessness. Everything that was prominent was given by the emperor, so the emperor could naturally take it away at any time. Especially today, when he saw the emperor's trick of dealing with Gao Yang, he felt even colder. Gao Yang, who was loyal to Yang Jian for more than ten years, was in charge of the prime minister for more than ten years, said that he would kick him out. In front of the emperor with supreme authority,
The prosperous capital not only did not let Yi Feng miss him but also made him a little scared. He urgently hoped to return to Yanyun, because after all, there were Huaihuang built by himself, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers who were trained to be armed. Only when he returned to Huaihuang and Yanyun could he feel the freedom of a tiger entering the mountains and forests and a dragon returning to the sea. After all, Yi Feng still did not believe in the Yang family. He only believed in himself. Once that time really came, if he was in Yanyun, he would at least give it a try.
"The luggage I got back had already been packed, and I'd been waiting for this day." Yuchi Gong said honestly.
"Why, the prosperity of this capital is still unattracting to your eyes?" Yi Feng asked with a smile.
"It's not that prosperous, but I just think there are more people, but the capital is full of walls, separating people in cages. Even this market is concentrated together. I think it's better to be Huaihuang. Although Huaihuang is not as big as Daxing City, it's much more lively. The shops in the city are open on the streets, and there is no curfew at night. They are open all night. You can hear shouts as soon as you enter the city. When you don't hear them, you still feel uncomfortable. You stay in the palace every day, and you don't even have the chance to go out to ride horses and shoot archers. You're so anxious."
"You can go to Pingkangfang, there are thousands of young ladies there." Yi Feng also made fun of the honest Yuchi Gong. Men in this era are precocious, and many people are familiar with people at the age of fourteen or five.
"The women in Pingkangfang are too expensive." Yuchi Gong actually replied this, which surprised Yi Feng.
Then he smiled and said, "Don't cry to me and say I have no money. Your kid's monthly salary and rewards have combined, and you have no less than a thousand guan of family income. If you opened a store and made a blacksmith like before, you would probably not be able to make so much money even if you spend three lifetimes. With such a wealth, can you still think that the little ladies in Pingkangfang are expensive?"
Cheng Yaojin revealed Yuchi Gong's true feelings, "This old man is a stingy person. He is in the bank and has profits. He said that when he returns to his hometown in Weizhou in the future, he will buy land and marry his wife."
"This is a good thing. If you have money, you will earn it on the battlefield. It is not easy to get money, so you can't spend it randomly. Jingde's approach is very good and you have long-term plans. No matter how beautiful and charming the bitch in the brothel, it is just a money to buy it. When a man has money, he occasionally goes in and buys one or two times. It's enough to be knowledgeable. It's not enough to be obsessed with it. Save money and buy land in the future to buy a house and marry a wife and concubine. It's great." Yi Feng praised Yuchi Gong.
The behavior of the company, "But if you have money to deposit interest in the bank, it is actually not as good as investing. The most reliable investment is to buy land and land. I have a good news here to tell you that I have reported to Your Majesty that the country will be divided into land in Youzhou Prefecture, especially for areas north of Yanshan. The land is even more powerful. After returning, the land will begin, and whether it is the people, military generals or officials, they can be divided into land. Among them, our soldiers will give priority to the land."
When Yuchi Gong heard the news, his eyes lit up, "Then how many fields can I get?"
"Our Youzhou Prefecture has a large area and few people, especially in the area north of Yanshan Mountain. It is even more sparsely populated and deserted. Therefore, every male over 18 years old in the area north of Yanshan Mountain can be divided into 100 acres of land. In addition, all the soldiers of Youzhou Prefecture can still divide the land by twice as much."
"Then can I get two hundred acres of land?" Yuchi Gong's happy voice trembled a little. For people of this era, although gold and silver are good, they are not as good as a piece of land that can be passed on to family.
"Don't be too happy. Two hundred acres of land seem to be quite large, but the land that is deserted is all wasteland. You have to reclaim it yourself. In addition, the land north of Yanshan Mountain is mostly poor. Except for the river valleys, the other land is not very good. Even if it is reclaimed, it can only be carried out. The two hundred acres of land outside the pass cannot be used as 20 acres of water-watered land in the Central Plains."
"That's not bad, two hundred acres of land." Yuchi Gong was still very happy. "Can a woman share land? Can a woman share more land after marrying a wife? Can a cow, horse, slave and servant share land?"
The equal land system was originally a land system that began in the Wei Dynasty. At first, men and women could divide the land. In order to take care of the interests of the aristocratic landlord group, the slaves of the large family could divide the land, and even the cattle could divide the land. This allowed the large family to divide the land with their own population, with their slaves and cattle and horses.
However, by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the equal-field system had actually changed a lot. First, the Sui Dynasty was stable for many years and its population grew explosively, which doubled compared to the beginning of its founding. Now the population of the Sui Dynasty is close to 50 million. If everyone is granted a hundred acres of land, it will take 50 million hectares of land. If even cattle are given land, the imperial court did not have so much land to grant land. In fact, a large amount of land in the world is not all public land owned by the court, but private lands that the nobles and wealthy landlords have always occupied. The imperial court did not have much land to grant land. Therefore, the imperial court later had to adjust the equal-field system. First, it ordered the cattle not to accept land, and later it stipulated that slaves and servants should not accept land. Now, it even stipulated that women should not accept land, and only men over 18 years old could grant land.
But even so, in the Central Plains, there is no land to be granted. In most areas, men who reach the age of receiving land only have 20 acres of land to be granted. It can be said that the imperial court's equal land system could no longer be maintained due to the large population growth. For this reason, when Yi Feng proposed to equal land in Youyan, and even proposed to grant land to the soldiers to solve some of the military supply costs, he immediately received strong support from Yang Jian. There is indeed no land to be granted in the Central Plains, but in the Youyan area, especially the Yanshan area, there is a large land and sparsely populated area, and there is a large amount of wasteland to be reclaimed. In the past, the imperial court did not have enough control over this border, so it was actually deserted. But now with the rise of Yi Feng Huaihuang Army, the imperial control line in Hebei has advanced from the southern foot of Yanshan to the northern foot of Yanshan. Even now Yi Feng directly prepared many river valleys and rivers in the Xi tribe to equal land.
"Women do not divide the land, and do not need to bear rent and taxes. However, as long as they are willing, they can rent public land from the government and pay part of the tenant rent." This is actually a disguised equalization of land, which only changes the original land rent and redirection to tenant rent.
"In addition, those with official positions also have a corresponding grade Yongyetian. Those with meritorious positions can also get a corresponding grade Yongyetian. Those with ranks can also get a corresponding grade Yongyetian. In addition, if you make meritorious on the battlefield, you still have a chance to get a grant of land..." Yi Feng said in detail. He already had a detailed plan of equal land in his mind. In short, he was the new general manager of Youzhou, and the court did not have much money to plunder him. However, the emperor had already passed his Youyan equal land plan. There was a large amount of wasteland that could be reclaimed in the Youyan area, especially in the areas outside the pass, where almost all the land was found.
All are uncultivated land. Even if the land is a little barren, there is enough land. With these lands and this approved equalization plan, Yi Feng believes that after returning to Youzhou, he will be able to successfully open up the situation.
