Thirteen heads, two of them are descendants of the Yuan family in Dingxiang, and the remaining eleven are disciples of the Yuan family.

The bloody head hung on the city gate. Li Shan stared at it for a few times, then turned around and said: "It has been passed down to all Daizhou and Xinzhou counties for admonishment by those who come after you."

Zhang Gongjin didn't say anything, and Xue Wanche took the initiative... In his opinion, the King of Qin's lineage suffered a big loss this time, and this kind of bad things like seizing land and kidnapping people were not uncommon, but when it was brought to light, that was Great loss of reputation.

"This matter is of great importance, and we need to send people to various places to investigate." Li Shan explained expressionlessly: "Brother Xue will be the leader of the investigation."

Xue Wanche couldn't help but feel happy. This kind of thing fell into his own hands. Whether it was to suppress or win over, there were many benefits.

Li Shan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Gongjin, "Brother Hongshen, didn't you recommend the military camp?"

"If there is no land, how can we march and establish a military camp?"

"Brother Hongshen will be in charge of this matter when wealthy families from all over the country seize lands and plunder people. If there is anything wrong, you are the only one to ask."

When he heard about the marching camp, Xue Wanche immediately understood that Zhang Gongjin had taken a fancy to the soldiers under Yuan Junzhang's command... Everyone in Daizhou knew that Li Shan was definitely going to hold Ma Yi firmly in his hands. He had always asked Liu Shi to give up the guard. In Mayi, Xue Zhong was sent away not long ago.

But when he heard what happened later, Xue Wanche couldn't help but laugh out loud. In short, he ate meat, while Zhang Gongjin was forced to chew the bone... and it was a hard bone.

Counting acres of land and concealing population has always been the most disgusting job... There is no benefit to be gained, and it also offends people.

Looking at Fang Renyu, the general manager of Xinzhou who had been silent, Li Shan forced a smile on his face and said, "Xinzhou still needs to ask Mr. Yan."

Fang Renyu also had a smile on his face, "It's your duty, you have your duty..."

"With the Wang family in Taiyuan, let's go down and talk about an agreement." Li Shan didn't know the name Fang Renyu in his previous life, or even the prominence of the Fang family in Qinghe. He only knew about the famous Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and the cuckold Wang Fang Yiai. .

But in this life, Li Shan already knew enough about how prominent the Fang family in Qinghe was. Among the Shandong gentry, they could not compare with the Five Surnames and Seven Families, but they were very prestigious among the people below them.

Fang Xuanling's father, Fang Yanqian, and Fang Renyu's father, Fang Fangkuang, were both famous for a while.

Today, regardless of Fang Xuanling, there are two members of the Fang family who are at the level of governor, and they are also married to the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Li family of Longxi, and the Wang family of Taiyuan. Well, Cui Xin's eldest son My daughter-in-law was born in the Fang family of Qinghe.

Fang Renyu's mother was from the Li family in Longxi, his wife was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his eldest son was the daughter of the Cui family in Boling... Historically, his granddaughter was the crown prince of Zhanghuai Prince Li Xian.

Li Shan had a good relationship with Fang Yizhi, and Yuanyou had his own shadow behind his appointment as Sitian to join the army, so he had to take the blame himself... Fortunately, he and Wang Renbiao were close friends among the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan. , no matter what happens, you can still invite Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui from the East Palace.

Zhang Gongjin on the side hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "Although the Yuan family in Dingxiang is not prominent, in addition to the Wang family in Taiyuan, they are also married to the Xue family in Hedong."

Li Shan's cheek twitched. Later generations said that Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace, relied on the Shandong nobles, while the Qin Palace did the opposite, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

In fact, this is completely nonsense. In fact, no matter which side it is, it is basically filled with children of aristocratic families. This kind of intertwined force is unimaginable by future generations.

In the entire Tiance Mansion, regardless of their literary and military skills, as long as they were outstanding and held official positions, most of them were children of aristocratic families. The confidants Li Shimin relied on the most were the Fang family of Qinghe, the Du family of Jingzhao, the Changsun family of Luoyang, and the Xue family of Hedong.

There are several sons of some not-so-famous families who have been in high positions for generations, and all of them are descendants of officials, such as Gao Shilian, Yu Wenshiji, Tang Jian, Su Xu...either in the Northern Qi Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Either in the former Sui Dynasty, they were all prime ministers and ministers.

There are too few who truly come from poor families... This poor family does not refer to ordinary people, but refers to people like Cheng Yaojin, Li Shiji, and Yuchi Jingde who either came from a wealthy family or whose family was in decline.

Watching nearly a hundred cavalry galloping south, Fang Renyu laughed twice and commented: "Huairen... looks like a famous official of the former Han Dynasty."

Zhang Gongjin and Xue Wanche looked at each other without saying a word... This evaluation is worth pondering. Famous officials in the former Han Dynasty often became famous for their brutal methods, destroying the wealthy families in the county and making daily life easy, but most of them could not die a normal life.

The news spread quickly throughout Xinzhou, Daizhou, and even Taiyuan Prefecture with the thirteen bloody heads. The powerful people from all over the country silenced, the powerful families stampeded their feet, and Zhang Gongjin used both soft and hard tactics to finally curb the land annexation trend for the time being.

In fact, in the northeast of the river, there are a large number of ownerless fields that were abandoned due to frequent wars in the past, and land annexation is not serious.

But as the war situation stabilized, the hands of the aristocratic families began to stretch outward. Even though there were so many ownerless fields, there were good and bad aspects. Moreover, because of the population loss caused by the war over the years, the land was annexed and the people were taken into slavery. , closely linked together.

There has been no dynasty for three hundred years since ancient times, and Li Shan would not be stupid enough to engage in industrialization in this era. But if so many ownerless fields were taken away, and the people he had worked hard to move here were kidnapped as serfs, what he had done in the past six months would still be worth it. What's the practical significance?

When the news reached Taiyuan Mansion, Li Daozong, who only met Li Shan once on the roadside, clicked his tongue and said, "What do you think, cousin?"

The middle-aged man next to him stroked his beard and sighed: "I act with integrity, my mind is resolute, and my methods may seem cruel, but in fact there is room for improvement, and I have not yet crowned them... Is this kind of skill a gift from heaven?"

This middle-aged man is Dou Jing, the second son of Chen Guogong Dou Kang. He has served as the governor of Bingzhou since the third year of Wude. He has successively assisted Li Yuanji, Li Shenfu, and now it is Li Daozong's turn.

Li Daozong nodded, "Beheaded thirteen people, but kept Yuanyou, and promised the Yuan family to choose someone to serve as Sitian to join the army... Huairen wanted to do something."

"What?"

"Huairen wants to march to the camp."

"That's right!" Dou Jing stood up suddenly, "Last year, a certain person submitted a letter to the Central Government, but it was a pity that the prime ministers and ministers rejected it after discussion. If Li Huairen could persuade His Majesty..."

Li Daozong said with a smile: "Daoxuan once mentioned that Brother Guangda is on good terms with Huairen."

The Guangda he refers to is Dou Jing's younger brother, now Taichang Qing Dou Dan.

Dou Jing sat down slowly, thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I will write to Your Majesty again and ask Taiyuan Prefecture to go to farm."

Li Daozong nodded slightly, thinking that this not only helped Li Shan, but also helped Dou Jing, not to mention that farming was also of great benefit to him, killing three birds with one stone.

Li Shan, who has almost arrived in Chang'an, doesn't know yet that there is a shameless person who is preparing to use his share of the wind.
