Chapter 749

The party went up to the wall.

The weather is clear and the view is good.

Looking north, you can see the roof of the palace in the distance.

"It's the first time that I've stood on the wall and looked at the palace."

"Your Majesty, this is Xinmin county." Lu Shizhong pointed to the south.

Standing on the wall, the huge Xinmin county is clear at a glance.

At a glance, the most intuitive impression is dense house, row by row.

And then there are a lot of people, all of them people.

"How could there be so many people?" Vander exclaimed.

Lu Shizhong said: "there is no city wall in Xinmin County, there is no curfew, and with the influence of Shanhe academy, many scholars rent in Xinmin county. As a result, many brothels, restaurants and teahouses have run to Xinmin county to open branches.

This attracted businessmen and scholars from all over the world to Xinmin county. More people, more shops. So there are more and more people. "

"I see!"

Looking at the crowded Xinmin County, Emperor Wende was excited.

"Lu Aiqing, is this a prosperous age?"

Lu Shizhong hesitated for a moment, trying to say no, but he couldn't stand the reason.

So he said, "Xinmin county is a prosperous scene. But in the city wall, it is not a prosperous time for the officials to dare. "

Wende nodded, "the facts are right in front of me. I can see them. This is Xinmin County, and prosperity is just around the corner. "

After that, Emperor Wende went to the other end of the city wall and pointed to the south city. "Here is the capital city, the south city. Chaos and poverty are also in front of us. I have seen and understood the gap between the two sides. "

"Wei Chen is incompetent, death penalty!" Lu Shizhong simply pleaded guilty.

Vander waved his hand and said, "it's none of your business. As you said, this is a stubborn disease in the capital. A stubborn disease left over from decades and hundreds of years. It can not be solved overnight. However, in my eyes, Nancheng is not only a stubborn disease, but also a patch of the capital. Rags are not patches.

Ai Qing told me a lot about the disadvantages brought about by the population explosion. The first thing is the pressure of food. This point can not be ignored. But in my eyes, the benefits of the population explosion in Beijing far outweigh the disadvantages.

Tax revenue alone is directly taken over by the Ministry of accounts. How many procedures have been saved and how much ink corruption has been reduced? Local taxes and silver are accompanied by various apportionments, and only one or two liang of silver can fall into the account department's pocket at most. If the capital is rich and the household is rich, I don't have to increase taxes, and the local people don't have to bear heavy apportionment and corvee. Ai Qing didn't see this benefit. "

However, Lu Shizhong had different ideas. "Your Majesty, the local tax bank is a fixed amount. No matter how large or small the population is, it must be paid in full. As the local population decreases, officials will certainly double squeeze the small people left behind in order to complete their tasks. "

"The origin of these victims is basically middle and lower level counties, and the annual tax and silver area is only 45002. Can't this task be accomplished? "

Lu Shizhong shook his head again and again. Emperor Wende had never been a local official. He did not know the famous hall in this place.

"In addition to taxes and silver, the local government has to support people," he said. In a county, the number of people is less than 70-80, and there are more than 100. People eat horse chew, a year's expenses can be quite a lot. Who should support it depends on apportionment.

Every time the local government runs away from a family, it means that those who have not fled will have to bear more apportionment. If the local officials want to build water conservancy projects, support the county schools, and send them back and forth, they need more apportionment. This is extremely unfair to the small people left behind. "

There are so many ghost halls in the local government that Wende did not really understand.

But he looked deeper.

"Even if the small people rooted in the capital were driven back to their places of origin, did Ai Qing think that the local government would find out their conscience and reduce the apportionment? The apportionment will not be reduced, but more and more people are living in dire straits. If these people are allowed to take root in the capital, at least some of them can live and work in peace and contentment. "

Lu Shizhong was surprised.

He thought Wende was very conservative, but he didn't expect that Wende was more open than he thought.

After a pause, he said, "since the end of last year, local officials have come to the capital one after another, saying that the capital has drained the local population. As a result, the local population has been sharply reduced and taxes can not be completed. Your majesty will decide on this matter. "

Wende emperor was silent for a moment, "this matter will be discussed in the court tomorrow."

"I will obey your orders!"

With his hands behind his back, Emperor Wende looked at the prosperous Xinmin county.

"Since the death of the empress dowager, I have often felt a lack of energy."

"Thank you, your majesty! Your majesty, please take care of yourself. "

Emperor Wende said without expression: "at the beginning, I really thought that the Empress Dowager died of illness, and I also felt the impermanence of life and death. As a result, the Empress Dowager was poisoned. It was really shocking. When did the palace become a sieve. Even the safety of the Empress Dowager cannot be guaranteed. "

"I'm incompetent. I haven't caught Su Wenzhi. Your majestyEmperor Wende snorted coldly and said with gnashing teeth: "the bitch of Princess Su has a daughter. She is bold and arrogant, and has harmed the harem. I will kill them. "

Lu Shizhong bowed to his orders.

Wende Di turned to look at him, "Lu Aiqing!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I'll give you another ten days. If you can't catch Su Wenzhi, you know what to do. "

Lu Shizhong's face turned white. "Your Majesty, there are many innocent people here."

Emperor Wende sneered, "the Empress Dowager has been poisoned and can only use blood to wash away the anger in my heart. There are no innocent people, everyone can be killed! I only give you ten days. Ten days later, whether or not su Wenzhi has been caught, I want to blood the capital. Let the blood of the vegetable market never dry up. "

Lu Shi shivered with Chang enqiqi.

The strong intention of killing emperor Wende, if there is substance.

According to the requirements of emperor Wende, hundreds of people from the upper and lower levels of the CI Ning palace and the Imperial Palace, all of whom were involved in Su Wenzhi, had to be killed.

Head rolling!

Thousands of heads. It's shocking.

Emperor Wende wanted to sacrifice the death of Empress Dowager Xiao with thousands of lives.

Many of these thousands of people are innocent.

"Your Majesty..."

"Ai Qing, don't say anything more. I have decided. Only the head and blood can calm down the anger of the son of heaven. "

Emperor Wende looked at Lu Shizhong and said, "if Ai Qing can't take this responsibility, you can bring it up now. I will send someone else to carry out this matter. "

Lu Shizhong's face turned white and he was sweating.

Can he afford thousands of lives?

On the one hand, it is the trust of emperor Wende and the other is human life. What choice should he make.

"Has Aiqing thought about it?"

"Wei Chen, Wei Chen obeys orders!" Lu Shizhong said with difficulty.

He must have been written by history books, and he must be praised and praised after his death. He will be regarded by later generations as a cruel official, executioner and so on.

Front and back!

This is not what scholars pursue all their life.

However, he has ignored the name behind him.

He is the sword in Wende's hand. Where Wende points, he must kill.

Only with the trust and support of Wende, can he realize his political ambition.

Lu Shizhong took a deep breath.

A man who kills one is a thief.

Killing thousands of people is a loyal minister and good general!

Ha ha ha

He was ordered to kill, what fear!

There was a bit more madness in Lu Shizhong's eyes.

Wende Di looked at him with satisfaction, "Ai Qing never let me down."

Lu Shizhong bowed his head and said, "Wei Chen will try his best to capture Su Wenzhi."

"Catch her, and I will put her to death."

Dai Zhitian, the mother of all enemies.

Wende's determination to kill people is stronger than ever.

If it had not been for the imperial concubine Su who had lost her mother's family, Emperor Wende would have destroyed the family.

If you can't exterminate the clan, copy the Su family ancestral tomb and whip the corpse.

Emperor Wende issued a secret order to whip the corpse, and Jin Wuwei has sent his trusted generals to the ancestral home of Princess su.

This is the anger of the son of heaven!

If you dare to poison the palace and murder the empress dowager, you should be prepared to bear the anger of the emperor.

If the emperor is angry, there are ten thousand, one hundred thousand corpses, even if there are not millions!

Lu Shizhong's order to kill people is just the beginning of everything.

Later, more and more people will be involved.

The road from the capital to the imperial mausoleum will be paved by the head.

The death of the Empress Dowager must be paid with countless heads.

Wende did not lose his mind.

At this moment, he is more awake than ever.

He was conscious of what he should do.

At this moment, more than ever, Emperor Wende has to understand the practices of the former Emperor.

It's not that the late emperor was impatient and bloodthirsty, but sometimes he had to kill.

There is no peace without blood everywhere.

Emperor Wende moved his fingers and put a smile on his mouth. "I have high hopes for Aiqing, and I believe that Aiqing will not fail my trust."

Lu Shizhong bowed down and said, "I'm a great minister. I want to repay your Majesty's kindness."

"Very well! Do a good job

"I will obey your orders!"

Emperor Wende pointed to Xinmin county. "Who do you think should be handed over to me?"

Lu Shizhong wants to scold his mother. It's too exciting today.

First, he was ordered to kill people, and now he asked about Li Chu.

Every pile is fatal.

"I don't know!" That's all he could answer.

Emperor Wende looked at Lu Shizhong with a smile, "don't you know, or dare not answer?"

Lu Shizhong was very frank, "I don't know, but I dare not.""Ha ha ha..."

Emperor Wende laughed and patted him on the shoulder. This problem is too early. "

"Your Majesty said so."

"Your majesty will live a long life."

"I don't dare to live for a hundred years. I will be satisfied if I can live to the last emperor."
