"It's time for dinner."

Liu Taozi suddenly said something meaningless.

Lu Yao was stunned and looked at the houses on both sides. He didn't know what he thought of, and a trace of unbearability flashed across his face.

"The freeze killed many people this year."

Liu Taozi lowered the car curtain and stopped talking.

Lu Yao suddenly fell silent.

They arrived in front of the palace all the way. Lu Yao led Liu Taozi out of the car and took him into the palace.

It's still a familiar process, but it seems that the palace here is a little more strict.

They were taken all the way to the racecourse.

They stood on the outside and watched Gao Yan lead his cronies and gallop here. They couldn't see his expression, but they could feel the emperor's rage at the moment. He ran at full speed, extremely fast, charging over and over again.

No intention of stopping at all.

I don't know how long it took.

Gao Yan rode his horse and slowly stopped in front of them.

Gao Yan lowered his head and looked at Liu Taozi with a rather solemn look, his expression serious and extremely unkind.

Lu Yao pursed his lips and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhizhi is."

"The harm is true!!"

Gao Yan suddenly spoke.

"Do you know your guilt?!"

Liu Taozi slowly bowed to see him.

"I am guilty."

"Do you know what crime you committed?!"

"I don't know."

Gao Yan suddenly laughed and his expression immediately softened, "Your crime is to despise me!!"

"Do you think I don't have the guts to deal with King Changguang? Do you have to kill him first and then punish him?"

"If you had told me your thoughts when you were in Jinyang, King Changguang should be staying in Jinyang now. Look at it now, what should you do?"

"I am aware of my guilt."

Gao Yan got off the horse with the support of several people. He led Liu Taozi and Lu Yao towards the palace. As he walked, he said, "The contract is really harmful. You are leaving me helpless."

"He was imprisoned with his mother for trivial crimes."

"He can't do anything, but what about me?"

"The Queen Mother will not hand him over, and I can't send anyone to ask for him."

"What do you think we should do?"

"I don't know."

"ha!"

Gao Yan glanced at Liu Taozi and walked to the door. He stamped his feet, patted the snow on his body, and walked into the hall. The stove in the hall was burning just right, and the whole hall was very warm. Gao Yan took off his outerwear.

Shang, exhaled into the palm of his hand, and casually motioned for the two of them to follow him.

The three of them sat down together and Gao Yan took a sip of the hot tea that had been prepared.

"You really scared me."

"When I saw Lou Rui's letter, I was so frightened that I even dropped my bowl on the ground."

"What a great ability."

"How did you convince the Queen Mother?"

"I'm just asking the Queen Mother to make a decision, don't turn a blind eye."

“Is it that simple??”

"The Queen Mother is very good at listening to advice."

Gao Yan laughed and said, "That's true. It's just that no one dares to admonish her on weekdays."

Just as Lou Zhaojun understands her children, Gao Yan also understands his mother. Lou Zhaojun is easily persuaded, but this also makes Gao Yan a little helpless. After all, Gao Zhan can also do the same.

Gao Yan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although it is for me, this kind of thing cannot happen again in the future. You must ask me first before doing anything."

"only."

Gao Yan looked at Lu Yao, "Mr. Lu was also frightened this time."

Lu Yao smiled bitterly and did not answer.

"Even the Puppet Zhou couldn't sit still. He actually sent people to spread rumors in the city, saying that the nobles were going to support the King of Jinan again, and that the people of the King of Jinan killed Han Jinming. The people under Han Jinming said that he was on the way.

Died of illness."

"I have sent Gao Guiyan to resolve this matter."

Liu Taozi was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, Han Jinming has indeed died of illness."

"Well, maybe."

“This winter, many people are dying of illness.”

Gao Yan said quietly.

Liu Taozi frowned.

"Now that things have come to an end, there is no time to hesitate. Just do it. I will take care of the next thing, so you don't have to worry."

"The Honorable Lord of the DPRK has lost his courage, and I have nothing more to worry about."

"Next, I plan to gradually re-issue land equalization orders in the country according to King Pengcheng's memorial, thoroughly inspect public lands, grant them to the people, and select the best among them to join the army. What do you think?"

Reissuing the land equalization order is not a new talk in Daqi. Someone has mentioned it a long time ago. This time Liu Taozi easily tore through the defense line, making Gao Yan and other upper-level officials also feel threatened. Of course, it was not that Liu Taozi was threatened, but that

I feel that the pseudo-week poses a threat.

If the border defenses are so corrupted, then if the Puppet Zhou invades again, they will be able to easily reach Jinyang.

In order to deal with such a situation, King Pengcheng firmly believed that the land should be equalized and given to the people, the military households should be added, and garrison and farming should be carried out in parallel.

Doing so would naturally offend many people, but King Pengcheng was not afraid.

Gao Yan listened to what he said many times and became more and more moved.

Liu Taozi nodded, "I think it's okay."

Lu Yao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although it is a good thing, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to implement. The land granting and mulberry fields in various places cannot be clearly investigated."

"If you can't find out clearly, then confiscate them all and redistribute them!"

Lu Yao was shocked, "Your Majesty, these land transfers cannot be easily moved. If they are really to be moved, they must be done one by one. If they are done at the same time, I am afraid it will cause chaos."

Gao Yan, who was originally extremely determined, suddenly hesitated again when he heard what Lu Yao said.

He pondered: "I will tell Peng Chengwang that it must be done, but what you said makes sense. You really can't be impatient."

He suddenly looked at Liu Taozi, "The True Light of Destruction depends on the garrison, and many things will be difficult to accomplish."

"You have made a great contribution this time."

"Although it was reckless, it solved a big trouble for me."

"I want to make you the general of Anxi, the commander of Beishuo, and the military and government affairs of the two states of Beiheng."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I haven't issued an edict yet!"

Lu Yao was stunned and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Liu Taozi is still young and his merits are not obvious this time. He should not be promoted like this. You can wait until he makes new achievements in the future."

Gao Yan glanced at Lu Yao and ignored him. He just looked at Liu Taozi faintly and said, "You need to do three things for me."

"The first thing I want you to do is strengthen the defenses in various places and ensure that no puppet Zhou soldiers or Turkic soldiers are allowed to pass through your territory."

Lu Yao frowned, but Liu Taozi nodded in agreement, "If you can't do it, your Majesty can behead me."

"The second thing is that you must obey King Pengcheng and reissue the land equalization order."

"only."

"The third thing is to train a strong army for me within three years. It must be able to respond to Jinyang at any time."

"only."

"Don't agree so quickly. Think carefully. If you can't do it, I won't show mercy."
