Guanzhong was launched.

When the decree reached various places in Guanzhong, the rich and powerful people who had been prepared for it responded immediately.

They clamored to take the heads of the rebels and quickly gathered their troops.

At this time, you can see the gap between the wealthy families in Guanzhong and the local powerful.

The wealthy families in Guanzhong usually train their troops in secret, collect and build soldiers and armors, and can quickly form a large army just by waiting for the family leader's order.

"Raise troops!"

The heads of the family proudly paraded the army at home on horseback.

At this moment, they thought of the last years of the Chen Kingdom.

…

"A bunch of idiots!"

The head of a certain wealthy family sneered at home: "Why did the Yang Chunyu family lower their heads? The butcher's knife was hanging above their heads. They didn't want to be exterminated, so they had no choice but to lower their heads. But those idiots thought they could rush into Chang'an and repeat the destruction of the past.

That scene. Let’s not move!”

Two completely different scenes appeared in Guanzhong.

On the one hand, he is murderous and wants to rebel, but on the other hand, he hides at home and remains silent.

…

"At least half of the credit for the decline of the Chen Kingdom belongs to them."

Pei Jian and Jiang Cunzhong were now in Chang'an, commanding various departments to suppress the rebellion.

The weather is good today, and you can see the mountains in the distance from the top of the city.

"When will we do it?" Jiang Cunzhong asked.

He is an old man in Northern Xinjiang and one of the emperor's earliest confidants, so he doesn't obey anyone in Northern Xinjiang except Pei Jian.

Not to mention military skills or cultivation, the identity of Pei Jiu's son is enough to make people in Northern Xinjiang think about him.

"Your Majesty's idea is that it would be best to accomplish all your efforts in one battle and uproot those wealthy clans." Pei Jian saw more than ten horses galloping towards this direction and thought of the poem the emperor recited at that time.

"If he has achieved great success, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being his husband!"

"Whose poem?" Jiang Cunzhong asked.

"Your Majesty's." Pei Jian said.

"Who is Huang Chao?"

"I don't know."

More than ten riders entered the city, and then they led the team to the top of the city.

"The powerful families from all over Guanzhong have sent troops."

"Have all those powerful families taken action?" Pei Jian asked.

"We have never." It was Jin Yiwei who came to report, "At least 60% of them are hiding at home."

"What a pity." Jiang Cunzhong sighed.

"Those are smart people, otherwise they wouldn't be able to continue the family to this day. In this case, don't wait any longer and take action!"

In April of the first year of Yongde, the emperor ordered to clean up the population of Guanzhong. With the decree, 40% of the powerful families in Guanzhong rose up to fight, known as...

The emperor ordered Pei Jian and Jiang Cunzhong to lead the army to suppress it.

…

"...Many in-laws have sent people here, saying that His Majesty is too harsh, and it is better to leave some leeway for his family..."

In Kunning Palace, Auntie Guan was reporting on the situation at home.

"The Zhou family has handed over the roster and is preparing to let those people become citizens. Why, why can't they?"

Zhou Ning said coldly: "Go back and tell them, without saying anything about the overall situation, A Liang is my son, and this country will be his in the future. The rich families are the emperor's opponents, let them think carefully, what should I do?"

"In both public and private matters, the Queen should support this matter." Aunt Guan said with a smile.

Yi Niang came and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone out to visit the palace and asked your Majesty if you want to go."

Later, the emperor and empress left the imperial city dressed in plain clothes.

“Very lively!”

The emperor said with emotion.

The square walls on both sides of Zhuque Street have always remained, but they have been frequently knocked down recently. Especially this year, the emperor's words came from the palace: In my opinion, the square walls are a redundant thing.

As soon as these words came out, the people became even more unscrupulous. In broad daylight, some people dared to knock down the walls of the houses and carry the mud home, saying that they could build the walls if they mixed it up again.

Almost all the houses on both sides of the street have been turned into shops, with banners hanging everywhere, people coming and going, the sound of hawking, and the sound of bargaining...

"This is all your Majesty's credit."

"When did you become so unfamiliar?" The emperor squeezed the queen's hand.

"Behave!"

"I am the rule."

"Zitai..."

"That's right."

The two of them walked along the street like an ordinary couple. Occasionally they saw something they liked and bargained for it. After buying it, they handed it over to the guards who followed them.

At noon, the two of them found a place to eat outside. A Liang and Li Laoer in the palace could only stare in despair.

After dinner, the emperor said that he should go to the Zhou family to sit down and have a cup of tea.

When they arrived at Zhou's house, news of the Zhou Dynasty came out to welcome them.

Lin Feibao could clearly feel Zhou Xin's discomfort.

After entering to serve tea, the emperor saw that the room was exceptionally clean and he smiled and said, "It's quite elegant."

The Queen looked at Zhou Xin meaningfully and expressed her dissatisfaction with such tactful complaints.

"Aristocratic families have been inherited for many years. If you want to say that every family has ambitions, I think you can't!"

The emperor's words were unsettling.

Zhou Xin quickly expressed his position, "Ms. Zhou just wants to live a stable life."

"Since you have no ambition, what are you after? Money and fame. In your eyes, money can only be obtained from the fields. This has been the case for generations. You are beyond stupid!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Xin stood up and raised his hands to express his dissatisfaction.

"Why, do you think I made a mistake?" The emperor took a sip of tea and said calmly: "In the past thousand years, from emperors to aristocratic families, they have all sharpened their heads to toss in the Central Plains. They wish they could dig the ground for three days.

Feet. But no one took a second look outside."

Zhou Xin raised his head.

"The Central Plains is so big. With a large population, all kinds of resources will inevitably be insufficient. But what about outside?"

The emperor pointed outside and said: "The sea is not covered, so you can go out to find business opportunities. There are many overseas islands. Gold and silver are everywhere on those islands, and there are countless minerals. Those ignorant people are willing to give some benefits.

You work. Why does no one take advantage of such benefits?"

"It's dangerous overseas..." Zhou Xin retorted cryptically.

"What is there to do that is not dangerous?" the emperor said: "Did the ancestors of the aristocratic families come through everything smoothly? How many people walked through the crisis with their heads in their hands. The family business was passed to you and others, but they looked forward and backward.

…Where is the courage of our ancestors?”

Zhou Xin said nothing.

"I just want to reap the profits, I just want to sit at home and money will fall from the sky. So what you like most is the fields. You can make a lot of money without using your brain and taking risks. But today I am here to say,

These good days will be gone from now on."

The emperor said: "It's not just you, all the powerful officials, including the clan, are gone."

This is an innovation!

Innovation from top to bottom.

"The courageous families left the Tang Dynasty with a horizontal sword on their waist, went overseas, and looked for business opportunities outside the Tang Dynasty. Those who were not courageous just waited in the Central Plains to slowly decline..."

The emperor's words were spread by people who were interested.

There was fighting in Guanzhong, but the emperor's words triggered a heated debate in Chang'an.

Some people say that the sea is dangerous, but others argue that there are many merchants who go to sea for trade!

Some people said that those fields were passed down from ancestors, but the emperor's refutation came from the palace.

——Fields are tools of production and private individuals cannot monopolize the tools of production.
