Datang Library

"No, no one is attacking. Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries are not stupid. We stayed there just to let them attack. Once someone makes a move, it will give me an excuse for Datang to send troops, so it is not their business.

It's inside Silla. This is the recent shipment record of Silla that I got back from the Ministry of Accounts. Take a look. "

Li Jiancheng handed over a pamphlet, which recorded the list of goods shipped by Datang merchants to Silla, and the bulk records of transactions. Bai Fan took it and read it carefully.

Soon he felt something was wrong, "Why is this happening? Silla is a small country with a small population. In addition, it was attacked by Goguryeo and Baekje before, and now their population is even smaller. How can this food and cloth be needed?" So many? What are they trying to do? Could it be that someone took the lead in rebelling?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Bai Fan and scolded with a smile: "Rebellion? Not necessarily, I sent someone to investigate this. It turned out that it was a little girl who did the trick. It was your confidante's sister, the youngest daughter of King Zhenping. Humph, that's so big. With a scheming mind, he secretly ran back to Silla, and colluded with the Wa Kingdom.

If it wasn't for your sake, why would you need to discuss such a matter? Little Silla, a girl, can even send a team of soldiers to level them. "

amount……

Bai Fan was speechless, it turned out to be Jin Deman's younger sister Jin Shengman?What is my confidante?Kinderman and I are innocent, okay, you old man also say the same?

"Father-in-law, I only have Ping'er in my heart, and Kinderman is innocent, so don't accuse the good man."

"Good man? I believe you have a ghost, and you still say that you only have Ping'er in your heart? What's the matter with the girl from the Dou family? Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If it wasn't for the death of King Zhenping, you probably would have killed Jin Shengman." Marry and go home, you boy, you have a lot of romantic debts.

Tell me, what do you want to do about this matter?The old man's words are here, the food that my Tang worked so hard to grow cannot be taken advantage of by those shameless dwarfs from the Wa Kingdom. "

"Yes, yes, father-in-law is right, you can't take advantage of the dwarf of the Japanese country, let my son-in-law think about it."

Bai Fan replied again and again, groaning secretly in his heart, he was determined to refuse at the beginning, now you say that like we really have an affair, am I that kind of person?But Bai Fan, who wanted to change the subject quickly, did not continue to entangle with Li Jiancheng, wishing to switch to state affairs.

After pondering for a while, Bai Fan had an idea, thought of something, and replied to Li Jiancheng with a smile: "My son-in-law has a plan, not only don't need to restrain him, but even pretend not to know it, and help her secretly."

"What? You kid, you still say you have no personal relationship with him? I thought you would send someone to catch him and let it go, but I didn't expect you to want to help. This is using Datang's stuff to help the enemy, do you know that? ? Use the country's money to pick up girls, thanks to you!" Li Jiancheng repeatedly cursed.

……

Bai Fan slapped his forehead, he said something, and made another misunderstanding.

"No, no, father-in-law, listen to my explanation."

"No need to explain, and don't call me father-in-law, your father-in-law is about to become King Zhenping."

"King Zhenping has died, okay..."

……

The two chattered back and forth for a quarter of an hour, and Bai Fan finally made his plan clear, which was to use the bridge of Silla to support the new evil god of the Wa Kingdom and help him stabilize the hearts of the people.

At the same time, on the other hand, borrowing the help of Feng Zhidai from Zhongnan Academy to deliver supplies to Suwo Rulu, let him win the hearts of the people on the other side and establish a second regime, so that the Wa country can be split, only the two sides are evenly matched Only when the war was fought year after year was it possible to fight year after year. Calculated in this way, Datang only produced a small amount of grain and cloth, and the country suffered countless deaths and injuries in successive years of war.

After pondering for a long while, Li Jiancheng repeated his deduction and finally nodded his agreement. Unexpectedly, Zhongnan Academy had already made a move without making a sound. It seems that the court's reaction was not as fast as Bai Fan's.

"Well, that's it, just listen to you once!

But, are you really okay with that Silla woman? "

amount……

"Forget it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with me as an old man. A few days ago, you did a good job negotiating the land with the aristocratic family, but we encountered some trouble here. The second child is looking for you. You go to the palace."

A new chapter is added today, thank you for your support.

Chapter 627 Someone Is Killing

When Bai Fan entered the palace, he didn't expect that the old Li Yuan, who always sees the dragon and never sees the tail, was there, and there were no other ministers in the political hall, so Li Yuan was alone with Li Er.

Bai Fan didn't know what kind of lineup this was, but fortunately, Li Er started to explain what happened before he asked a question.

"The royal family should take the lead in the matter of paying the grain tax and re-approving the acres of land. However, the family is unlucky. There are two scumbags in the Li royal family, and they have taken a bad lead."

"Oh? What's the situation? Does anyone dare to disobey the order?

Among the new aristocrats in the Great Tang Dynasty, apart from the limited few, which member of the Li royal family would be soft on His Majesty? "Bai Fan asked with a smile.

And the limited number of people he mentioned actually refers to close brothers like Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, as well as those princes who hold important positions. Brother, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, these two are the famous generals of the clan, and the others, I am afraid that they will not have too much say in the Li royal family.

And with so few people following Li Er, how could they resist the policy for no reason?

"Hehe, resisting the decree? They don't have the courage.

In short, do you know Li Boyi and Li Fengci? "Li Er sneered.

Hearing the name, Bai Fan felt familiar. Thinking carefully, aren't these two incompetent scum in the Li royal family?

The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had three older brothers, the third elder brother died young, and the second elder brother Li Zhan inherited his father, Tang Guogong, Li Wei. ping   Ba Hui Zhi   Tax Counseling 甑 Mu Qian ǎ    harsh aluminum reef ⒆ Cherry  faded away from Qin Fan - V and Li Fengci.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan thought of his family, so he named his two nephews kings, one as the king of Longxi and the other as the king of Bohai, which can be said to be extremely favored.

But these two brothers are too immoral, clothes must be rich, food must be meat, and they are extremely arrogant and extravagant, so they have a very bad reputation in the clan. I had to give them a bunch of classics of the sages and ask them to study quietly.

But Bai Fan didn't understand why the two idle princes jumped out at this time?

"Aren't these two idle princes? Why, did they join the enemy?" Bai Fan asked.

"Hmph, they didn't surrender to the enemy, but they are even more hateful than surrendering to the enemy.

Because of the Li Youliang incident in Longxi, I sent cousin Xiaogong to preside over the affairs of Longxi. I was afraid that these two bastards would make trouble again, so I transferred the two of them back to Chang'an, and the fiefs were also replaced. One was placed in Hebei. Dao, one is placed on Henan Dao, who knows that it is this wrong move that caused trouble today. "

"Aren't they willing to pay food taxes? Don't the royal family have family rules?"

"No, they pay the grain tax, but they have to re-check the land because of the grain tax payment. These two idiots were so clever that they donated all the extra land under their hands to the Buddhist temple."

What? ? ?

Bai Fan stood up and donated it?Donated to a Buddhist temple?This, who gave the idea?Are you courting death?

"Who? Who the hell came up with the idea? The two of them? Damn it!

Donating to Buddhist temples does not benefit them at all, it just means that the imperial court has received less food, such a stupid thing that hurts others and does not benefit themselves, what are they trying to do?It's better to return it to the court to get a good reputation. "

"Hehe, yes, yes! I can't figure out how stupid these two idiots are, but do you know? What is the most serious consequence of their doing so?" Li Er's face was gloomy, and he was about to drip water.

Bai Fan couldn't have imagined this, it's so clear, "It must be those who don't want the court to get benefits for nothing, they all follow suit and donate their extra acres to Buddhist temples, so this is a tree for the court. A great enemy, a problem has arisen, Buddhism has been spread for many years, although it is not as prosperous as Taoism, but it is also a force that cannot be underestimated by the people, if one is not good, the Tang Dynasty will be infuriated and arouse public opinion, damn it!"

"Hey, who's to say it's not? It's a pity that when I exchanged the land for the two of them back then, I was still soft-hearted, and even gave them the large piece of land they didn't deserve." Li Er said bitterly.

Bai Fan frowned and said, "Isn't there an express stipulation for the distribution of land by the royal family? Why do they still have extra land?"

Li Er explained: "The two of them became kings at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the country had not yet been unified, and there were many unowned lands near Longxi and Bohai Sea. They took them privately. Opened up the territory for the Tang Dynasty, and later it was classified as his own fiefdom.

When I exchanged the two before, the two argued that they had to calculate the fiefs of the same size before agreeing to the exchange. Otherwise, the fiefs would be tampered with without reason, and the two refused to accept it. "

"In fact, it's not just those who are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty who do this, basically all nobles do this, because Buddhist temples are willing to pay, they are profitable, and use a small amount of money to buy a large amount of land. not do?
