Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 455
Spring plowing and plowing are also the beginning of a year for ordinary people, and Li Shimin's personal participation is a blessing to everyone, but it has a deep meaning in it.

After a lot of tossing, everyone present felt exhausted. Li Shimin looked around, and all the faces of the people were filled with happy smiles.

Inadvertently feeling satisfied, he asked Wang De to call Li Yin who was still busy in the field.

"Min'er, I think that's the end of today's affairs, let everyone disperse."

Li Yin nodded, but there was a lot of complaints in his heart, thinking that it should have been like this long ago.

After finally waiting for Li Shimin's order, Li Yin immediately started to make arrangements without the slightest hesitation.

After a while, the old farmers went back to their homes, and some related personnel also left one after another.

Li Yin accompanied Li Shimin and began to return, but along the way, Li Shimin was often heard laughing.

"My people live such a healthy life, and my achievements in this life will naturally leave a heavy mark in the history books."

Li Shimin attaches great importance to this point, just because the Xuanwu Sect has become more and more people criticized, he can only do his best to be the emperor, so that his achievements can be concealed.

After hearing what he said, Li Yin couldn't help shaking his head, but he was a little worried that Li Shimin's heart would collapse after he learned the truth.

Sure enough, before everyone left Wannian County, Li Shimin saw countless refugees walking together on the road.

For a time, everyone was shocked.

Just now their impression of this place is that the people live in abundance, the officials are clean and law-abiding, and it is a prosperous scene.

But at this moment, he only felt a burning pain on his face.

Face!

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, he stared straight at the refugees on the road, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"My love, does anyone know what's going on?"

Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, although he was asking the accompanying officials, he already had a guess in his heart.

It is what we see now is the true portrayal of the lives of the people in Wannian County, and what happened before was just a deception by local officials to prevaricate.

In Li Shimin's thunderous anger, none of the officials present dared to make a sound, they could only lower their heads and keep praying in their hearts.

However, Li Yin would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately passed Li Shimin and said.

"Father, the contrast between the people of the same place is so great, my son thinks there must be something inside, and I hope His Majesty will find out!"

After Li Yin said that, many officials all changed their faces greatly, but they knew that this time the matter was serious.

The prince's words made Li Shimin's anger even more intense. If today's matter does not come to a result, how can he let it go.

Seeing Li Shimin wave his hand, he asked some people to call the refugees over, just to question him personally.

The refugees looked terrified, how could they have imagined that they would be summoned by Li Shimin in person, and immediately felt that there was smoke rising from the ancestral grave.

"Your Majesty...Long live Your Majesty!" The refugee knelt on the ground, stuttering.

Li Shimin frowned tightly, asking him to get up to answer.

"Wannian County has a rich harvest, and every household of the people has food in stock. How did you get down to this?"

Li Shimin didn't forget what those old farmers said when he was in the field.

The abundance of food at home has attracted mice, but it has not affected their good life. Just thinking about this scene is shocking enough.

But compared with the panic-stricken people in front of us, it's completely a sky and an underground.

Li Shimin couldn't help being a little angry.

Seeing a refugee named Er Zhuang, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

But he was afraid that what he said next would hit Li Shimin.

He stammered and said.

"Your Majesty, every household has surplus food, that's what those officials taught us."

Er Zhuang had a look of grievance on his face, but his family couldn't open the pot for a long time.

The weather is not good this year, and the local harvest is not good at all, not to mention the surplus grain, even the seed grain is gone.

After hearing what he said, Li Shimin was furious on the spot. How could he have imagined that the local officials would cheat to such an extent.

But this was just the tip of the iceberg. Er Zhuang saw that Li Shimin couldn't understand the behavior of those officials, so he told all the bullying in the past.

"Your Majesty, please be merciful and stop collecting taxes from us."

"We really can't get rid of the blame. We still have to pay grain and taxes to the government. This is really driving us to death."

As he spoke, the majestic seven-foot man couldn't help but shed tears, which moved the eyes of those present after seeing it.

Li Shimin felt pity for these people from the bottom of his heart. After all, they were all his people.

But it also made him even angrier in his heart. How could he have imagined that the local officials could fool himself like this.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth tightly and spoke.

"They dare to expropriate and loot by force, but I have already issued a decree that all places with poor harvests will be exempted from taxation and grain."

After Li Shimin said that, Er Zhuang wanted to cry but had no tears. He said bluntly that not only did they have to pay, but they also paid more than in previous years.

Li Yin was also very emotional when he heard this, so he helped Er Zhuang and said.

"This is a case of local officials trying to create an illusion that the people under their rule live and work in peace and contentment, and they do not hesitate to plunder the people's fat and anointing. It is really unscrupulous."

After all, Li Shimin's eyes turned cold immediately, and he wanted to punish him severely.

"These dog officials dare to take money and pervert the law under my nose, I really think my eyes are blind!"

Li Shimin's thunderous anger immediately frightened many people present, and all the officials knelt on the ground one after another.

There are many important officials of the imperial court, but there are also many local officials, most of them are frightened, for fear that Li Shimin will further investigate.

But what was supposed to come could not be avoided after all, Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he looked at everyone in turn, and immediately became murderous.

"Come on, tie up all the officials in charge of these things!"

When Li Shimin gave an order, Li Yin immediately became happy, but the moment he knew that he had to wait patiently finally came.

So he mobilized his personal guards and caught some corrupt officials who he had figured out a long time ago, and tied them all to Li Shimin one by one.

"Father, these people's crimes are unforgivable. I suggest they be killed directly!"

Li Min's eyes were sinister, but he didn't intend to let these people go, making them tremble inwardly.

So he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, almost knocking a hole out of his head before he would give up.

But how can Li Shimin be a soft-hearted master, his mind is full of what these people have done before.
