Now that some people are willing to manage their rations, just let them dig water diversion ditches, plow the fields, and plant seedlings, such a good thing is not willing to be a fool.

However, some people questioned: "Is it true that Hu County Bo has gold and silver in his family? It is written in the notice that the whole county will change to rice. If it can't be planted, Hu County Bo can manage the people in the whole county." Can't you eat?"

The yamen servant curled his lips: "That's why you farmers don't know much about it. In Chang'an City, if you ask around, who doesn't know that the county uncle Hu is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? To tell you the truth, the county uncle Hu has already given out 3 taels of gold. It’s in the account of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If the rice doesn’t grow, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will use the gold to buy food and distribute it to you, understand? 3 taels of gold! I’ll kill you peasants!”

The villagers had never heard of such a large amount of gold, and they couldn't figure out how much money it was. They couldn't say anything other than exclaiming.

In fact, 3 taels of gold is not far from enough, it is just a "guarantee" that Li Wangyou gave to the court.The source of the gold is naturally the proceeds from the "sell" of the three gambling houses that won.

The villagers now believe that rice cannot be grown, and they will be given rations to survive.But everyone is still skeptical. No one has ever heard of planting rice in September, and they always feel that it is unreliable.

"Brother Yamen servant, planting seedlings in September, this matter sounds out of date."

"You guys don't know what a fart! You know that the rice fields in Hu County Bo's Mansion have been harvested a few days ago. Do you know the yield per mu? Speaking out scares you to death! Two stones! One mu! "

"What? How is this possible? A harvest of two stones per acre?"

"Can I still lie to you? The weight measured in front of the saint is not bad at all! So is there anyone in this world who knows more about farming than Huxian Bo? Don't look at you who have been planting for a lifetime. Compared with Huxian Bo Get up, what a fart! That person is a Wenqu star in the sky. He has known 500 years before and [-] years later. He knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. Do you understand? In short, you just follow the instructions of the county uncle Hu and do it seriously. , I can’t lose you!” the yamen servant said firmly.

Although the yield per mu of Li Wangyou's rice field was exaggerated a bit, it was not too exaggerated.

The villagers gasped again, but they finally accepted the fact and started talking to each other about the rice planting.

Such a scene is constantly being staged in nearly a hundred villages under the jurisdiction of Hu County.

With the continuous explanation and persuasion of the yamen servants and scribes sent by Yang Zuan, the villagers in these villages finally believed in the content of the edict, so the villages in Hu County, which should have been slack in farming, began to be busy again.

The original wheat fields were all dry fields, and there was no need for ditches for water diversion, so naturally they needed to be re-dug.As for the water wheel for water diversion, under the guidance of the scribes and craftsmen sent by Yang Zuan, construction began.

The sparse wheat seedlings in the field were burned clean by the villagers' reluctance, and then the fields were plowed again.

While everyone in Hu County was busy from Yang Zuan to every village, Li Wangyou was impeached again...

498 Spoofing

This is the third time Li Wangyou has been impeached, and the reason for his impeachment is naturally the matter of changing rice cultivation in Hu County this time.

All the wheat fields in a county were burned, and the fields were plowed again to plant rice. After Li Er issued the imperial edict, it immediately caused waves in Chang'an City.

Ordinary people naturally just watched the excitement and discussed it as gossip, while the officials above the court reacted even more violently.

In particular, some senior ministers in the court reacted strongly to this matter and yelled at Li Wangyou.

In their view, Li Wangyou, Bo Li of Huxian County, did something that would bring disaster to the country and the people, and would be punished by heaven.It was rare that there were no aristocratic families behind the scenes to fuel the flames, so many old officials in Chang'an City began to connect with each other, wanting to impeach Li Wangyou and eradicate the ministers for the court!

This day, as soon as Li Er sat on the throne, more than a dozen senior court officials stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Li Wangyou, the founding county uncle of Hu County!"

Li Er still didn't understand, so he thought to himself, what is Ziyou doing?Let so many old ministers come forward to impeach him?

"Come on."

"I want to impeach Li Wangyou, the founding county official of Hu County, for three crimes! The first crime is to hurt farmers! Seeing that the wheat seedlings in Hu County can be harvested in less than a month, Li Wangyou actually forced the people to fire Burning the barley seedlings clean and planting rice instead, this is actually forcing the [-] people in Hu County to a dead end. Now the people in Hu County are full of complaints, and the people are in dire straits. The second crime is to invite people to buy people's hearts, with ulterior motives! Your Majesty, then Li Wangyou He actually suggested that he would support the people of Hu County. What kind of heart did he have? It was the heart of disobedience! He was trying to invite people to do that wrong thing! The third crime was to deceive the people with false words! Planting in September Rice is simply nonsense. I have searched through ancient books, and there is no record of planting seedlings at this time. It can be seen that it is just the nonsense of Li Wangyou! Your Majesty, please take back the edict and punish Hu County Kaiguo County Bo !"

This group of old ministers were spitting all over their mouths, as if they had sworn against Li Wangyou, the "sycophant", and wanted to eliminate harm for the country and the people.

Li Eryue's face became more gloomy when he heard this: "Have you finished talking?"

The word "you and others" was spoken, and the hall was suddenly quiet.

It should be noted that calling others "you and others" is not a good word.It is usually a title for someone who is lower than one's seniority or rank, with a strong tone and a less respectful title.

When Li Er faced his courtiers, he never used the address "Er et al" and usually called him "Zhu Gong" or "Zhu Qing" very affectionately.

Those old officials were a little dazed, they had never heard Li Er speak to them in such a tone, and for a moment they didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that no one was speaking in the hall, Li Eryin stood up from the throne with a sullen face, looked around at the officials in the Taiji Hall, and then slowly said after a while: "You are all the ministers of my Great Tang, so you should be loyal and trustworthy." Walk the road. This year, the locusts in the world, although there are locusts to be exterminated, but the people’s fields produce ten out of ten, and there are no two or three. Famine is about to break out everywhere. Fang Xiang and Du Xiangai love Qing, racking their brains for this, trying to find ways to raise food and prepare for disaster relief. Li Wangyou, the uncle of Hu County, is even more willing to spend all his wealth to fight for next year's rations for the people of Hu County! How did such an act of loyalty become a crime in your mouth?"

The dozen or so old ministers who were standing just now all knelt down: "Your Majesty! If Hu Xianbo is really loyal, he should donate his family property to the court to buy food and relieve the people in disasters. Instead of forcing the people to give The wheat seedlings in the fields were burned, and they were planted with rice instead. Your Majesty, please learn from him, he is clearly inviting the hearts of the [-] people in Hu County to act against him."

In the main hall, there are naturally many nobles who have made good friends with Li Wangyou. After hearing what these veterans said, everyone was so angry that their teeth itched.

Cheng Yaojin stared and wanted to go out, but was grabbed by Qin Qiong who was beside him, and whispered in his ear: "Know the festival and don't be impatient, Your Majesty will not let that kid suffer."

Ma Zhou and Yan Liben, the two disciples of Li Wangyou, clenched their fists even more angrily, and they didn't care about the etiquette in court, so they got up and stood up and bowed to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, since these princes are so patriotic, why don't you ask Your Majesty to order them to donate all their property for disaster relief in the court."

"Your Majesty, the lives of the common people are difficult, and it is rare for the princes to bother so much. Why don't you invite these princes to set an example for us and donate your family property first."

The words of Ma Zhou and Yan Liben immediately made the more than a dozen old officials kneeling in the hall explode: "Nonsense, nonsense! How can the old man's private property be mixed with public utensils? Doesn't that mean that public and private are not separated? How can I learn that?" The county uncle of Hu, who sells his name and sells his integrity, is he the kind of person who sells his name for fame?"

"That's right, public is public, private is private, how can they be confused?"

"Hmph, the old man is alone, with a breeze in his sleeves, but no county uncle Hu is so rich!"

The words of this group of veterans almost made Ma Zhou and Yan Liben laugh angrily. It is really an eye-opener to be so shameless.

The courtier who said that he was alone and had nothing to lose, only spent a lot of money last month to buy a stunning orchid from the Western Regions, and he still showed off among his colleagues for a while, but now he is crying poor.

Most of these veteran officials were officials before the Sui Dynasty. Even after experiencing the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which one didn't have thousands of hectares of fertile land and a large number of servants?

Li Er was also so annoyed by the words of these veterans that he almost laughed out loud.

When you talk about other people's feelings, you can open your mouth and ask them to donate all your property, but when it's your turn, you have to distinguish between public and private...

"That's enough, don't mention this matter again! Uncle Huxian serves the country faithfully, with a sincere heart. If anyone criticizes Uncle Huxian again, I will definitely not spare him!"

Li Er was really too lazy to entangle with these veterans, so he directly opened his mouth to vindicate Li Wangyou.Those nonsense impeachments are simply nonsense, and Li Er is too lazy to continue talking.

But Li Er didn't expect that after he finished speaking, the group of veterans kneeling under the steps would still chatter endlessly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are all thinking of my country, the country of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Why does Your Majesty only listen to the words of that sycophant?"

"Your Majesty, no! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The [-] people in Hu County are so innocent! If you want to suffer from this innocent disaster, Your Majesty, please put the country and the country as the most important thing! Be a gentleman, be a villain!"

"Your Majesty, if you insist on going against the grain, then kill the old minister first!"

"Yes, His Majesty must kill the people of Hu County, so kill me first and wait!"

Not only did this group of veterans not restrain themselves, they even went too far, crying and making noise in this hall, which made Li Er really annoyed.

But this group of veterans, each of them has white beard and hair, and has been an official in the court for many years, and many of them are still great Confucian scholars in the court, and they are well-known.On weekdays, Li Er always respected these old ministers, but he didn't expect these people to play rogues in this Tai Chi Hall today, relying on the old to sell the old, and playing tricks.

Li Er said that it was a heavy responsibility, but for this group of veterans, he couldn't beat them, and it was useless to scold them, which made him feel a little bit embarrassed.
