"What do you think about this matter?"

Empress Wu asked.

The ministers were silent.

The Wang family of Beizhou is naturally not worth mentioning, but what about the Cui family of Beizhou?

What about Boling Cui not far away?

When the two Cui join forces, Datang will also have to tremble!

How to pursue such things?

"The Wang family is Cui's in-law..."

Everyone was surprised.

Empress Wu sneered, "Lawless, no wonder His Majesty would say that the local nobles are the local emperors, who are more at ease than the emperor."

"I am frightened!"

The ministers bowed their heads in horror.

"What are you afraid of?" Empress Wu said coldly: "The people were beaten to death, and you should be afraid of them."

These words were almost pointing at the noses of the officials and scolding: Do you dare to open fire at the gentry?

The ministers bowed their heads.

"If you can't find justice, how about I come forward?"

Cui Jian lowered his head slightly.

"Who wants to investigate this matter?"

There was more evil spirit in Empress Wu's eyes.

The ministers bowed their heads.

This matter is a hornet's nest, and if it is not done well, it will become the deadly enemy of the gentry.These are all old foxes, and they can do other things well. Even if they are asked to charge and kill, they will not frown, but if they are asked to touch the gentry, they all shrink back.

"The minister is willing to go."

Jia Pingan came out.

Later, the emperor summoned Jia Ping'an.

"At the beginning you said that the conditions for immigration were not favorable enough. I knew that your words were not sincere, but I agreed to your suggestion, which caused commotion among the people, who wanted to emigrate. It wasn't just the commotion among the people. How could those hidden households bear the news?"

Li Zhi looked at Jia Pingan and felt that the gentry would hate this courtier to death, but this was also the reason why he could use Jia Pingan with confidence.

"You did it on purpose!"

Jia Pingan didn't say a word.

Empress Wu said indifferently: "The school is now spread out, and the gentry are facing a big enemy. They will be weakened step by step, but as long as they have huge hidden fields and hidden households, they can spy on the opportunity to become the king again at any time." It's a serious problem, so why be polite?"

The emperor said calmly: "This matter must be safe..."

"Let the prince go too." Jia Ping'an suggested.

The empress narrowed her eyes at the same time.

……

Hebei Road is only an administrative division, not a management area.As for the geographical location, it is probably in the area of ​​Hebei in the later generations, which is slightly different.

The name of Hebei comes from this.

Hebei Road seems to be desolate, not as lush as Guanzhong, but when those familiar names appear, everyone will be surprised.

The Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Li family of Zhaojun...

This is like the base camp of the gentry.

The predecessor of Beizhou was Qinghe County. In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Wei changed its name to Beizhou, Yu Wenxu changed its name to Qinghe County, and when Dou Jiande's period, it was renamed Beizhou again. This place name has remained until today.

……

The Wang family is a powerful family in Beizhou, and there are tens of thousands of powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, so one Wang family is naturally not worth mentioning.

But the Wang family has an enviable and hated in-law, the Qinghe Cui family.

It is precisely because of Qinghe Cui's in-laws that Wang's life in these years can be said to be in a hot air balloon, getting higher and higher.

The current head of the Wang family is called Wang Ji, with a white face and a thin beard, but it makes him a bit more refined.

Sitting opposite him is Wang She.

"Brother, that bitch was beaten up and didn't dare to cry anymore."

Wang She said contemptuously: "Feng Wu, that cheap dog slave, even wants to immigrate. But don't even think about it, there is no him in Datang's household registration at all..."

Wang Ji stroked his thin beard, "Feng Wu is just one of them. What matters is who gave such good conditions. Five years of tax relief is enough to make people tempted, but the school is even denser than Guanzhong. The people are in control of us."

"Wonderful thinking!" Wang She sneered, "And what else... Governments all over the country should give priority to recruiting immigrant children, and those lowly dog ​​slaves will go crazy when they hear it, and they even want to become officials..."

"Yintian and Yinhu are the foundation of our family. With these, our family can be rich and honored for thousands of years without paying taxes." Wang Ji said lightly: "Some people say that the rich and noble families are a country within a country. It is the hidden fields and hidden households in the hands of our family. The dynasty can only be strong with the support of taxes, but the taxes cannot be collected from our heads, this is a master."

Why can the gentry overlook a group of mortals, knowledge... Don't talk about it, really think that the emperor is afraid of their knowledge?No, knowledge is not something to be afraid of, what is afraid of is the huge power they have joined forces.

Wang She said comfortably: "Feng Wu still dared to make noise, and was beaten severely, and died in an instant. However, his wife Zhao was crying endlessly before, which caused uneasiness among those hermits... Those lowly dog ​​slaves are a little bit The death of the rabbit means the sorrow of the fox."

"Let Qilang go and have a look." Wang Ji said, "Many things need to be done as an example..."

Wang She argued: "The old man also wanted to kill Feng Wu's family at that time, but those hermits were standing outside and watching, their eyes were straight, like a ghost, so I didn't do it."

Wang Ji put down his teacup, "Tell Qilang, tell him to warn Mrs Zhao, if Mrs Zhao is timid, it's fine, if that lowly servant girl dares to cry endlessly, um..."

A stern look flashed in Wang She's eyes, "It's nothing more than a lowly dog ​​slave like a pig and a dog. He doesn't have a household registration. If you kill him, you will kill him."

What is hidden field?

Fields that are not on the tax books.

What is a hermit?

Population not in household registration.
