Therefore, this time the family and the family are united together.

They only provided some secret support, and did not support the generals or officials in Longzhou County to raise troops like other aristocratic clans.

And these secret supports are definitely very secretive and will not leave any clues.

............

Therefore, the elders of the Zhao clan felt that as long as the court could not find any evidence, even if the Empress Wuzhou had doubts about the Zhao clan in Longzhou, it was impossible to act casually.

If you really want to do it directly without evidence.

A faint-hearted tyrant, with the name of a tyrant, will definitely not be able to escape.

It will even cause everyone in the world to be in danger, so that the world's aristocratic families have to really rebel.

After hearing the words of the elders in front of him, Zhao Mu, who was in the chair, couldn't help but be speechless.

He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

If it weren't for the problem with the ears, why would these elders of their own family become so innocent?

evidence?

An anonymous teacher?

What are those things?

There is a saying, if you want to add a crime, why bother!

To add to the sin is still the case, not to mention that the foundation of the family is not clean.

In the past, it was enough not to check. If you really want to be serious, it is definitely a check.

One counts as one, and no family can escape.

Could it be that these elders of their own family really feel that they have never done anything illegal except for rebellion?

All right!

Even if their Longzhou Zhao family is really clean like a white lotus.

Couldn't the court find other reasons to deal with them?

For example, when you have an audience, do you step with your left or right foot first?

In other words, there is no king in the world. Has your family's blessed land development and residence been approved by the court?

Etc., etc!

I want to find a reason to be guilty!

It's really not that simple.

In the final analysis, these Zhao clan elders still have a bit of luck.

In this regard, Zhao Mu felt that he was really tired!

Such a group of teammates, I really can't take it! 100 million.

Chapter 306 The real reason for Li Tang's poverty is the giant rat! (please subscribe)

Outside the city of Longzhou County, the fertile fields are vast, and the fields are connected.

There are farmers working and farming hard.

When the queen's patrol boat group slowly appeared outside Longzhou County, there was a commotion below.

One by one, they looked at the group of flying boats that looked like hills above their heads in shock.

In the distance, the guards on the city wall looked horrified when they saw the group of flying boats.

Especially when they saw the patrol boat group slowly decelerating in mid-air, and finally stopped in the sky outside Longzhou County.

When even someone turned their heads and ran quickly in the direction of the county governor's office.

Longzhou is about to change!

All of them couldn't help but have such an idea in their minds.

"Stop for a while, let Xiaowei take over the Longzhou camp, and Qianniuwei take over the Longzhou city defense."

On the Royal Sea Dragon Boat, Wu Mingkong glanced at the county town of Longzhou not far away, and spoke lightly.

"As ordered!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who was accompanying him, nodded and obeyed, and passed the order.

Immediately, the flying boat where Qianniuwei was located near the Yuhai Dragon Boat, and the flying boat where Xiaowei was guarding the outer perimeter slowly set off, separated from the group of flying boats, and headed towards Longzhou County and Longzhou Camp respectively. .

The mighty team will no longer move forward.

"Sir, how many of the fertile fields outside Longzhou County belong to ordinary people?"

Wu Mingkong looked at the thousands of acres of fields under his feet and suddenly asked.

When Chen Qi heard the words, he also looked at the ten thousand hectares of spiritual fields under his feet, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's less than 10%!"

Different from the ordinary Xiaoqian world, the fields of the earth immortal world can be divided into spiritual fields and ordinary fields.

The so-called Lingtian is the field where spiritual herbs can be grown.

Abundant ingenuity, the crops planted can help people to practice.

And Fantian, that is, ordinary fields, can only grow whole grains.

The spiritual energy is poor, and the crops grown can only be used to feed the stomach.

In the world, there are many ordinary fields and few spiritual fields.

In addition to some spiritual lands, only the county seat and the surrounding area of ​​the county seat will have spiritual fields.

The reason is very simple, because every county town and county town are covered by a large formation, which can lead to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, the fields around the city naturally became spiritual fields.

There is no doubt about the importance of Lingtian.

The reason why Shenzhou aristocratic clans and sect holy places were able to stand up and not fall down, the spiritual fields in their hands can be said to have contributed.

After all, in the early stage of cultivation, it is still relatively dependent on foreign resources.

Where do these resources come from?

Nine times out of ten, it comes from the spiritual field and the spiritual land under his control.

Longzhou County, as the county seat of a state, naturally has a city defense formation.

Under the nourishment of the aura of the sun and the moon, many spiritual fields also appeared outside the Longzhou County.

In particular, the inner and outer cities of Longzhou have formed a spiritual land. The monks live in it, which is beneficial to the practice. Therefore, many warriors and monks are attracted to settle down.

It stands to reason that these spiritual fields and spiritual land should be in charge of the imperial court, and they are also the main source of taxation for the imperial court's spiritual planting.

It is a pity that among the ten states and three hundred states in the world, with the exception of Chang'an City, most of the spiritual fields and spiritual lands in the rest of the Dao states are in the hands of noble families and sects.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial court can't get much.

Therefore, when Chen Qi said "less than 10%", he still said it from a high place.

If you look closely, I'm afraid there's not a single point.

"Mr. sees it very clearly!"

Wu Mingkong smiled and did not deny it.

Afterwards, she looked at the ten thousand hectares of spiritual fields below with a smile on her lips: "Then sir, do you know how many spiritual fields and fields are there in Longzhou County according to the official records of the imperial court?"

"According to the official records of the imperial court, there are 300 spiritual sites and 5,300 spiritual fields in Longzhou County."

Chen Qi spoke lightly, he seemed to have understood what Wu Mingkong wanted to say.

Therefore, he did not wait for Wu Mingkong to continue speaking, and said directly: "Of course, this is also the official data recorded in the former Tang Dynasty. If it is measured on the spot, then the area of ​​Longzhou County's cultivation of spiritual land is about 8,300. Around 295,600 leanings."

I have to say, this is very family!

Of the eight thousand three hundred spiritual lands, only three hundred were registered and reported to the imperial court.

The Lingtian of nearly 300,000 dumps has only reported 5,000 dumps.

I was greedy for most of the ink, leaving only a fraction of the imperial court.

The most important thing is that if Chen Qi remembered correctly, according to the official records of the former Sui Dynasty, Longzhou County had 3,000 spiritual sites planted, and 127,000 spiritual fields were planted.

In addition, because of the city formation, these spiritual fields and spiritual lands will only increase, not less and less.

As a result, after the demise of the former Sui Dynasty, in the Li and Tang Dynasty, the number and area of ​​this spiritual field and spiritual land plummeted.

Well, it's not even a little bit or two.

Instead, it was directly reduced by ten times, twenty times!

So it is no wonder that the Li Tang court was so poor.

This is the case, it is really strange that it is not poor.

Don't ask why Chen Qi knows these data so clearly.

The former was clearly recorded in the imperial archives, while the latter was obtained from the heaven and the earth by means of his authority to inquire into knowledge.

When Wu Mingkong heard Chen Qi's answer, he couldn't help but stare at Chen Qi in surprise, and asked, "Sir, there are 8,300 spiritual lands planted in Longzhou County, 295,600 Baiqing's spiritual field is being planted?"

"good!"

Chen Qi answered with certainty.

After Wu Mingkong got Chen Qi's affirmation, his eyebrows could not help wrinkling.

Because of the data that Chen Qi said, the person who sent her to investigate was really quite a first-time entry.

According to the situation she sent people to investigate, Longzhou County should have about 3,500 spiritual places and about 140,000 spiritual fields.

Such data, although less than she expected, barely matched the official records of the former Sui Dynasty...

As a result, now Chen Qi told her.

Beauty, the data you found is only half of the real data, and the remaining half is still hidden.

How this didn't shock her.

You know, she sent her own trusted confidants to investigate.

She also didn't believe that her confidant would lie to her.

And if the truth is as Chen Qi said, Longzhou County has 8,300 mounds of spiritual land and 295,600 mounds of spiritual fields.

Then it can only be said that the means of hiding the spiritual land and the spiritual land of the aristocratic clan and the sect holy land are too high.

Knowing such a result, Wu Mingkong's face turned gloomy, feeling that he still underestimated the greed of the aristocratic family.

I thought it was outrageous enough to be greedy for nine out of ten.

As a result, the facts told her that people's greed was not nine-tenths, but ninety-nine percent (because most of the official grades in Lingtian and Lingdi belonged to noble families, and there were tax reductions and exemptions for the imperial court).

There is only a little bit left for the court, just like sending beggars.

Take the simplest example.

If it is said that Lingtian Lingdi in Longzhou County is all cultivated Lingmi, the total annual output is 100,000 catties.

Then according to the official records of Longzhou County, the output of Lingtian and Lingdi is about 5,000 catties.

In comparison, the tax collection ratio of Lingzhi in the former Tang Dynasty was about one tax per ten.

In other words, the imperial court was able to collect only 500 catties of Lingmi from Longzhou County.

So, where did the remaining 99,500 catties of Lingmi go?

Most of them fell into the hands of aristocratic clansmen and sect holy places.

Are you saying this is outrageous?

Of course, if you think this is outrageous, then you are dead wrong.

Because 4.5 is in accordance with the laws of the former Tang Dynasty, the taxation of spiritual planting of noble families and Xianmen Holy Land is also preferential.
