Chapter 405: Gather all the Yizhou families! (Three in one)

"...I summoned all of you, and you should already know what happened.

That's right, it's about checking the fields and clearing out the hidden houses.

I am not doing this against you or your family.

There is no intention to target the Yizhou family.

Not only in Yizhou, but also in every prefecture and county I visit from now on, we will check the acres of land and clean up the hidden houses."

Here in Mianzhu, in the main hall where Liu Cheng is, Liu Cheng is sitting in the upper position, facing everyone, and talking loudly.

“Why should I do this in a thankless way?

It's because we've reached the point where we have to do this.

Why did the big man become like this?

The main reason is that the aristocratic families have too much hidden land and hidden households, and they endlessly annex land and population.

It makes the lives of ordinary people increasingly difficult.

The population and land have been annexed by powerful families, but these taxes are still collected, and all are passed on to ordinary people. So that within a year, those who collect poll taxes less than thirty times in one place are all honest and good people.

official.

Do you think this is normal?

Is this something that should happen in a country?

If things go on like this, ordinary people will become poorer and poorer, and their lives will become increasingly difficult to live by.

Rebellion will happen.

The country will have no authority, no majesty, and will fall apart.

This will happen at this time!

You are all sensible people, so you will naturally know whether what I say makes sense.

Is this the actual situation?"

As Liu Cheng spoke, he glanced at everyone present, but no one spoke a word.

Liu Cheng ignored it and continued: "I don't want the great man to fall apart, and I believe you don't want it either.

Otherwise, after I led the army here to fight against the thieves, I would not have received the support of you all.

However, there are many people who in their hearts want to prevent the big man from falling apart, but in fact they do things that will make the big man fall apart.

After I got rid of the traitor Liu Yan who was not friendly to the local family before, these people became temporarily grateful to me.

But as I stabilized the situation in Yizhou and started to do some things here, they stopped doing it, feeling that I had touched their interests.

You want to cut off my right and left arm, you want to make me bow down to the court.

This kind of practice does not take the country into consideration at all, and there is no country in the heart.

All he thinks about in his heart is the interests of his own family!

After walking through menstruation in this way, please come and see if it is a cancer on the man's body?

If things continue like this, it is inevitable that the country will be destroyed!

Don't think that if the big man falls, your respective family will gain more benefits and develop better.

it's out of the question!

At least for most families, it is impossible

If the country falls and becomes chaotic, many families living in this country will surely suffer.

When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?

This is all I have to say, and I will leave it to yourselves to think."

Liu Cheng looked at the crowd and said this.

There was silence for a while in the main hall.

On the one hand, everyone was shocked by Liu Cheng's open and honest way of bringing things to the table.

After all, in the opinion of many of them, this matter can be done, but it is generally not mentioned on the table.

In the past, officials, even Liu Yan, only competed secretly and used various means without saying it openly.

Even if both parties know these things clearly in their hearts, it is still the same.

As a result, Uncle Liu Huang gathered them together and told them directly in front of so many people...

This unexpected move surprised them.

On the other hand, what Liu Cheng said has wide implications.

Not just one or two families, but the entire Yizhou!

He is even ready to implement it wherever he goes in the future.

They never thought that Liu Cheng's determination was so strong.

It is precisely because of this that everyone remains silent.

After all, there are too many people involved in this matter.

If you speak rashly at this time, you can easily offend Uncle Liu Huang, or offend many families in Yizhou.

So it is better to remain silent and remain silent...

"Uncle Huang is right. If every household is like this, how will this man become strong?

I am Yan Yan but not talented. I also have some hidden land and some hidden houses at home, and I am willing to release them all.

Please also ask the emperor to send special personnel to my home to investigate and deal with it!"

During this period of silence, someone suddenly stood up, bowed to Liu Cheng, and said this.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

I didn't expect that at this time, someone would directly stand up and express their opinion.

Moreover, the person who made the statement was Yan Yan, a local heavyweight in Yizhou who holds real power!

Yan Yan has always been relatively steady and low-key in doing things, and does not speak carelessly.

Who would have expected that at such a moment, Yan Yan would be the first to stand up and express her full support for Uncle Liu Huang!

Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to gain a foothold in Yizhou in the future?

Aren't you afraid of being ostracized by everyone in Yizhou?

Not only were these people surprised, but Liu Cheng was also surprised.

According to his original expectation, after he said such words, the first person to stand up and express his position should be Zhang Song.

After all, to Liu Zhang and Yizhou in history, this person was a senior second- and fifth-level boy.

Moreover, he had already cut off his relationship with his brother before and was kicked out of the house by his brother.

It is very appropriate for him to stand up and take a stand at this time.

You won't lose anything at home.

As a result, the first one to stand up was Yan Yan!

The Yan Yan family is not a small family in Yizhou.

In this era when the number of people living in secret fields is quite common, his family has some secret fields with a certain population.

If an inventory is carried out, the losses will naturally be considerable.

Yan Yan naturally has his own reasons for doing this.

On the one hand, he has feelings for his family and country that were aroused by Liu Cheng.

On the other hand, he could hear Liu Cheng's strong determination on this matter from what Liu Cheng said.

It was obvious that Uncle Liu Huang was determined to do this.

Uncle Liu Huang led the defeat, beheaded Liu Yan Zhiwei, and led the army here. Once he really determined to do this, he would definitely be able to do it.

If this is the case, then why still hesitate?

Wouldn't it be better to directly express your position at this time that you will be toasted instead of punished with alcohol?

From here we can see Yan Yan's decisiveness as an excellent general.

"Uncle Huang, although I was expelled from the family by my brother, I am no longer recognized as a member of the Zhang family.

I don't own much land.

However, I fully support what the emperor is planning to implement!"

After Yan Yan, Zhang Song quickly stepped forward.
