The sudden attack of the nobles, or Cheng Yaojin-like heroes, who were represented by Cheng Yaojin, made no one expected. Li Shimin's face also changed a little because he knew that these people were the cornerstones that really sent him on the dragon throne, and it was also the trump card for him to not care about the reaction of the clans. They held military power, and Li Shimin also needed them to control the millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. The clans could suppress the rebellion, but if these people were dissatisfied, it would not be so easy to deal with it.

Changsun Chong's heart skipped a beat. Now there is no so-called director of the Imperial Bureau, only he is in charge. Li Mu once hinted that if he can handle this matter well, the director's position will be his. Therefore, Changsun Chong tried his best to improve the plan as much as possible and strive to achieve the acceptance of all forces. However, he only cared about the clans, but ignored the nobles and his own class. Now Cheng Yaojin stood up, instantly caught him off guard.

For Li Shimin, he was more strange. Because in his opinion, Cheng Yaojin has always followed Li Mu and made a fortune in a quiet voice. The horse farm, the horse racing, etc. are all Li Mu's plans, and Li Mu has not yet asked for any reward. It can be said that Li Mu has been kind to the Cheng family. Although Cheng Yaojin is a little lazy, he is not the one who repays his kindness with his grudges. Why did he suddenly demolish Li Mu's platform today? Why don't you discuss this kind of thing privately?

There is a fraud here!

Li Shimin's intuition smelled the scent of conspiracy, but at this moment, Cheng Yaojin suddenly blinked his eyes unconsciously. This action was invisible to everyone behind him, and Li Shimin and Eunuch Gao could see it.

Both of them immediately understood. Eunuch Gao was afraid that Li Shimin would not see it, so he wanted to come over to remind him. Li Shimin raised his hand to block it, and Eunuch Gao stood back again, as a cover-up, and even shook the whisk in his hand.

Li Shimin calmed down, nodded slightly, and said, "Cheng Aiqing's words do point out the drawbacks of this new policy. The titles, honors, military merits are all honors. The soldiers follow me in life and death, and I must not let them down. Changsun Chong, you are in charge of the Imperial Property Bureau. You should take care of this matter. You have heard what Cheng Aiqing said. Is there any explanation?"

Changsun was sweating profusely and stood up and bowed, "Reply to Your Majesty, General Cheng said, no one mentioned it when discussing the matter, so there is no corresponding plan. I cannot answer now. I beg Your Majesty to give you a certain amount of time to discuss."

"What?" Cheng Yaojin's temper suddenly came up and shouted at the top of his voice, "Boy from Changsun's family, what are you doing for? No one mentioned it, you can't think of it? Ha, if I didn't say it today, are you planning to get through this? No! If you don't give me an explanation today, we old guys who don't have their heads on the belt, you must not agree!"

Cheng Yaojin was still a little embarrassed. After he said this, many generals immediately responded. Some were good at his relationship with him, and some were people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. In an instant, the court became chaotic again.

Wei Zheng watched coldly, and for some reason, he suddenly became uneasy. The familiar recipe and the familiar taste were not Li Mu's plan.

"My Lords! Please be quiet! This is Liangyi Hall, how can it be so noisy?" Wei Zheng shouted loudly, suppressing the noise of everyone. He looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very involved. I suggest giving the Imperial Property Bureau three days. It will be no longer too late to discuss it in three days. Let's come here today."

Li Shimin also had this intention. After all, Cheng Yaojin's appearance of cheating was really eye-catching. But he thought, it was not right. The situation at this time should be what Wei Zheng wanted to see. He actually wanted to suppress the matter. Did he think of something?

Cheng Yaojin was also confused. Yesterday Li Mu found him and hoped that he would come forward to do this. He even rehearsed several times overnight, trying not to make any mistakes. In order to be true, no one except him said hello. Therefore, Li Shimin was not aware of it at all. If he was suppressed and delayed Li Mu's overall plan, the "welfare" that was originally a noble would be gone. As a person who would not take advantage of it, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin wailed, knelt on the ground, climbed a few steps, and approached the dragon throne. Eunuch Gao subconsciously reached out to stop him, but was blocked by Li Shimin. Li Shimin walked down the steps to support Cheng Yaojin, frowned and said, "What is this? I have said that I will never treat you badly. Do you have any etiquette?"

Cheng Yaojin refused to get up, hugged Li Shimin's thigh, looked up at him, blinked his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I just feel wronged! Over the past few days, I have always heard of some clans and clans in the court, but no one has said a word for us, the rough people. The country of the Tang Dynasty was not defeated by these civil officials, but it was exchanged for us, the rough people. Your Majesty, the old minister is unwilling to accept it... If you can't give an explanation today, Your Majesty will let Old Cheng break his arms and return to the field, you're so cold!"

Seeing this, a group of people who were joining in the fun all started crying and screaming. Wei Zheng repeatedly told them not to do this, but none of them listened to him, but instead shook him and asked him to add a fire.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Li Shimin had no choice but to say helplessly, "Okay! I will explain to you that the chief Sun Chong has no countermeasures, so I will come to Li Mu! A high-ranking official, go find Li Mu!" After that, he said to the ministers, "Li Mu lives outside the city, implicating all your dear friends..."

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Gao just left and returned, whispering, "but you don't have to wait. The old slave asked the eunuch who was on duty, and the Marquis Zhulu had just entered the palace."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why is he in the palace? Didn't I tell him not to come to court?"

"Didn't you want a few sets of copper pots? Zhulu Hou has brought it. He is talking to the queen in Lizheng Hall."

How could such a coincidence be true!

Li Shimin was finally sure that what happened today must have been Li Mu. Wei Zheng also heard it and smiled bitterly, and understood in his heart that the situation was hopeless. He looked back and still didn't know what was going on. A group of brainless deceaseds were still making excuses. He was autistic in an instant and didn't even want to open his mouth.

"Go and call him over."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Yaojin up. When Cheng Yaojin heard that Li Mu had arrived, he was too lazy to act again. He wiped his face and stood back to his position.

Less than a quarter of an hour, the little eunuch brought Li Mu over. But when he arrived at the gate of the hall, Li Mu refused to come in and shouted far away, "Your Majesty, I'm here, is there anything wrong?"

"Stand at the door and do something, come in and talk!"

"No, Your Majesty, didn't you say yesterday that I was disturbing the court's discussion and told me not to come to court? I dare not disobey Your Majesty's order--"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "If you act good, I will beat you up at Jinwuwei!"

"Okay!" Li Mu ran into the hall. Seeing Wei Zheng, he laughed, ran over by his shoulders, came to the hall to stand and salute, "What are your orders?"

"Cheng Aiqing raised a question. What are the arrangements for the new policy for titles, wealth and military merit fields? I just said that I must not treat these heroes who follow me through life and death. I asked Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong said that the Imperial Property Bureau had never discussed it. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"Didn't there be any discussion?" Li Mu looked at Changsun Chong with a surprised face and said, "Didn't there any discussion?"

Changsun Chong looked ashamed and said, "Mr. Master, my disciple is not very careful and embarrassing my teacher."

"This..." As Li Mu turned around, Cheng Yaojin secretly blinked his eyes. Cheng Yaojin understood and took it out, grabbed Li Mu's neck and said angrily, "You Li Mu, if you don't treat me as a human being, how can I spare you!"

He was about to fight when he was acting, but everyone around him hurriedly stopped him. It took him a long time to "rescue" Li Mu.

At this time, Li Mu was in a mess, his clothes were torn to pieces, and he didn't look like a handsome young man. Looking at Li Mu's appearance, Wei Zheng was wondering again, was it not Li Mu's conspiracy? He really turned against him?

Li Mu jumped and said, "Okay, you ordinary man, I'll call you uncle, you still want to hit me? OK, you're so awesome, you beat me, I'll beat your son, you wait, I'll beat me later, I'll beat me, I..."

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore and asked Jinwuwei to separate the two of them. The two of them looked at one of them and did not let them quarrel again.

"Li Mu, I am asking you how to deal with it. I don't want to see you mess around. I will give me a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will put you all in a prison and kill you. I won't be able to eat for a few days before I will talk about it!"

"I will never eat in prison!" Li Mu shouted, as if he was being forced to do so, and suddenly said, "Yes, I have a way to deal with it!"

Li Shimin said with a treacherous face, "Say!"

"Since the new policy has brought about the jobs of the clans, it is obviously not very fair if the nobles do not move—"

Cheng Yaojin yelled, "You dare to move and try!"

"You said it or I said it! Otherwise, I won't say it!" Li Mu stared back with his eyes and shouted. Li Shimin frowned and looked at Cheng Yaojin, saying, "Cheng Aiqing, say it one by one. He has finished speaking. If you have anything you dissatisfied with, you can raise it again."

Cheng Yaojin snorted and stopped talking. Li Mu continued, "But, just like the reform mentioned earlier, we have to make a point in everything. If the family's job is moved, it is based on the Tang Dynasty's laws. They violated the law and took what they should not have taken, and did not pay taxes, so they had to move. However, there is no problem of whether they should be worthy of military merit and titles, because military merit and titles cannot be faked."

"There is a folk proverb that learns the civil and military skills and sells them to the imperial family. It can be seen that in the hearts of the people, their civil and military skills should be obtained at a suitable price, just like goods. There is nothing to say, it is natural. We might as well think about military merits and titles and salaries, and give them a suitable price. Since it is sold to the imperial family, it is natural to be paid by the Imperial Property Bureau and will not be denied."

"I heard that military merits are divided into equidistant places, so it might be better to use this as a proof. The rewards that can be obtained for different levels of military merits are also different. The rewards can be obtained for small rewards, the land can be rewarded in the middle, and the land can be selected. But at the same time, there is another problem that the calculation of military merits is not very regular and there is no fixed standard. Therefore, I suggest that the Ministry of War should come up with a unified charter as soon as possible, and the Imperial Property Bureau should calculate the rewards they deserve based on different standards."

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "This statement makes sense--" Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yaojin started yelling again, saying, "You can calculate the calculation, but I am asking about the land, how do you say this land?"

Li Mu said seriously, "After the standard comes out, based on the amount of military merits, more withdrawals and less compensation, there is nothing to say. It's the same thing, what should not be obtained, and what should be obtained can't be taken over. The Imperial Bureau also gives you a lot of money!"

Li Jing, who had never participated in the argument, suddenly spoke, saying, "Marquis Zhulu, I have a question, please help me solve my doubts."

Li Jing spoke, who dared not take it seriously? Li Mu immediately said, "Please speak with the general."

"Does this military merit field, title and salary field, food field, etc., or rented field, need to pay taxes?"

Li Jing's meaning is very clear. He was asking whether this military merit field was returned to the land by death and what standards were collected for taxes. Because of the current situation, military merit field and titles and land are also collected for taxes, but they are relatively small.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Depending on the situation, military merits can be obtained based on military merits. Military merits can be accumulated, and military merits can naturally be accumulated. Also, because military merits often require soldiers to fight for their lives, which is extremely risky, and it is very likely that their lives will not be protected after a battle. Therefore, the "father dies and sons dies" should be "successful" and "successful of their children" should be kept in vain. However, such inheritance can only be once, and the father dies and sons will not be inherited again. After the son dies and raises his relatives, they should not be given to his brothers and sisters, because this military merit has nothing to do with them and should not be laziness. As for taxes, military merits can not be paid taxes, and public grains can not be collected."

"As for titles and land, I think I should 'refer the title and surrender the title'. To show my achievements, I can not pay taxes, but I should receive public grain." Li Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty percent of public grain."

Someone raised an objection and said, "Marquis Zhulu, can you explain why Julutian wants to collect public grain? Although public grain is often purchased for a long time, it is not for nothing, but I don't want to sell it yet? What's the difference?"

"This question is good!" Li Mu smiled and said, "The difference lies in the risk. Military merits are for life. Most of the people who have made military merits are ordinary soldiers. Their wealth is limited, and it is understandable that they leave food and wait for the price to be sold when the price is high. But those with titles must have extra wealth in their families, and their property is closely related to their titles. Their titles are given by Your Majesty. The way to obtain them is not necessarily exchanged for life, but may also be inherited, and the risk is much smaller. Regular settlement is the fundamental strategy, for the sake of the country and the country. Who will support those with titles if they don't support them?"

"This statement makes sense!" Li Shimin took over and said, "I have given you the title not to breed laziness. But to motivate you, the arrangements Li Mu said are exactly what I want."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he finally understood Li Mu's plan. Originally, the new policy was still entangled in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Zheng could still control the speed of the implementation of the new policy by using the law of the law as a basis. But now, after Cheng Yaojin was disturbed, he suddenly went around and began to discuss the substantive content. When everything was discussed, if you wanted to delay, there was no reason to delay!
