Chapter 653: The princes in the world are the best in tribute!

After hearing the three words "Xiyunhou" and everyone in the hall looked a little strange. Speaking of the collapse of the Ice Field System, it is indeed closely related to Xiguo.

However, it was not other reasons, but the Marquis of Xiyun who offered iron smelting to benefit the world and greatly increased the grain output, which was a contribution to the Heavenly Kingdom.

It would be too far-fetched to shift the responsibility to Mr. Xiyun. The ministers on the side were talking and disagreeing in their hearts, but no one opposed it on the surface.

If you can find someone to take the blame and relieve the pressure at this time, why not do it!

Emperor Mu showed an interesting expression and said indifferently: "Mr. Jiang, why did you say this?"

Mr. Jiang swears: "Your Majesty, as early as a few years ago, the well-field system had already been in name only in Xi'an Kingdom. Marquis Xiyun did not farm the fiefdom for the people in the middle of the country. He took the family as a household and divided the fields of every household. Even the well-field that had been divided was also distributed to the people. Now there is no acre of public land in the middle of the country.

Many princes in the world are competing to follow the example of Xiguo, so the well-field system collapsed and the damage was caused by Xiguo!”

Mr. Jiang was extremely indignant, as if the king's land was abandoned and the public's food was absent. At the end, he pulled out the Marquis of Xixing as evidence: "The Master, Mr. Xixing told the Master a few years ago that the State of Xi ignored the system of the Well Field System. At that time, the Emperor thought that the State of Xi was not easy and had no worries, and now the root of disaster has been planted!

Four or five years ago, the second year after Yao Yun took over the Xi Kingdom, the country of Xi Kingdom appeared in front of all the dynasty's dynasty due to its high yields of grain.

At that time, Xiguo was very weak. Even if Xiguo had changed the "well-field system" of the Xia Dynasty without authorization, the ministers did not care, and the emperor just turned a blind eye and scolded him without any pain.

But now, the "Ice Field System" is beginning to collapse and when it starts to share the blame, everyone remembered this matter again.

At the beginning, the ministers did not expect this. After being guided by Mr. Jiang, the ministers suddenly realized it and followed Mr. Jiang's steps to "criticize Yao Yun."

"Sir, Mr. Jiang's words are reasonable. The country of Xi has been booming and its national strength has been in full swing over the years. It is a great act of deducting the wealth of tribute. This is a very ruthless act. Mr. Xiyun should be punished to serve as a warning to others!"

"This statement is reasonable. It is said that many princes saw that the country's fortune is prosperous, so they rushed to Xi'an to study. The princes in the world followed suit. This is the root cause of the collapse of the Wellfield system. Mr. Jiang was right. Mr. Xiyun made a bad head and shook the foundation of the Heavenly Dynasty!"

"Master Xiyun, this matter is indeed first responsible..."

.........

For a moment, the attack on Xiguo and criticized Yao Yun's voices were endless. The guilty ministers saw that Xiguo could share the responsibility, so they frantically put the blame on Xiguo.

At first glance, the words of the ministers made a lot of sense. Xiguo took the lead in crossing the line and ignored the well-field system. When others saw Xiguo rise, they all became similar. As a result, the well-fields of the entire Celestial Dynasty collapsed.

This set of rhetoric makes sense and seamless.

When Emperor Emperor heard this, he frowned. When he learned that Xiguo had reformed the well-field system, gave land to common people, and cultivated slaves, he was worried that Yao Yun had a direct lineage of the Xi family. If he was punished heavily, he would be criticized by the princes of the world, so he just scolded him and did not investigate it in depth.

However, there is a big mess now.

The world is competing to imitate Xiguo, and Emperor Mu has already known about it.

If the ministers said, Xi's country brought a bad idea and the countries rushed to follow suit, then Xi's husband was indeed very guilty.

Di Mu's eyes suddenly became sharp. Xiguo was a descendant of the previous generation of emperors. As the contemporary emperor, he must be fair and just in dealing with the previous generation of emperors and not be verbal. However, if Xiguo did make a big mistake, he would not be polite and would definitely be severely punished!

However, Emperor Di Mu is not a foolish person and will not believe in one-sided words. Then he turned around and asked an old white-haired minister in the hall: "Situ, how much food is provided by Xiguo over the years?"

The Emperor of the Emperor was not concerned about whether the well field was shaken or not, but about whether the princes in the world did not provide him with enough food and wealth.

When Mr. Jiang and a group of ministers heard this, their faces changed drastically. In Mr. Jiang's "seamless" rhetoric, the only thing that was missed was the number of tributes paid by the State of Xi and the number of tributes paid by other vassal states.

Every year, the tributes of the princes are just the lords from all over the country to offer some strange things to the world for fun. They are not allowed to be real. The tributes are food, grass and wealth, and outsiders have no way to know them. If the ministers do not control this matter, they will not know them very well.

When everyone heard the emperor's question, their eyes fell on Situ.

The old Situ served the emperor for several dynasties and served as the Situ in the emperor Emperor Xi. Therefore, the old man had a good impression of Xiguo. He had just seen his ministers besieging Xiguo against his will, and he had long been a little dissatisfied.

So, Situ bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, the food offered by Xi State has doubled year by year, and the amount is astonishing, far exceeding the ordinary vassal states. Especially this year, the territory of Xi State has increased sharply, and the food offered by Xi State has doubled again. At that time, it really scared the old ministers.

As the old ministers saw, although Xiguo took the lead in changing the well-field system, Xiyun Hou was loyal to the Heavenly Dynasty and paid tribute. The well-field system took one of the nine, but he never slacked off."

Mr. Situ was upright and said a fair word to Xiguo.

When Mr. Jiang and many ministers heard the words of Mr. Situ, their faces changed drastically and were quite surprised. They concealed their private land, so they took it for granted that Xiguo was like them and did not report it. Then they vowed to put the shit pot on Xiguo and let Xiguo bear the emperor's anger.

Emperor Di Mu narrowed his eyes and turned to Jiang Gong and said, "Mr. Jiang, you said Xiguo has brought a bad head, so what do you say?"

Mr. Jiang swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir... This... Mr. Situ, you are not mistaken."

Situ blew his beard and glared, saying, "This matter is still false! Master, I ask to summon the treasury manager to present the tributes of the princes in the world, which is clear at a glance."

Emperor Di Mu: “Accurate!”

Soon, a soldier summoned the Treasury manager.

In the hall, the ministers looked different, many of them were trembling and anxious. They didn't know how much tribute paid by Xiguo, but their families knew their own affairs. Some ministers had increased their tribute, and there were no fewer one or two percent of them.

Soon, several treasury managers came to the Golden Palace with books and presented them to the emperor.

The emperor picked up the account book and swept his mind.

The year before yesterday, Xiguo ranked 27th among the vassals in the world for tribute, food, grass and wealth.

Last year, Xiguo ranked twelfth among the princes in the world for tribute, food, grass and wealth.

This year, Xiguo paid tribute to the country, and ranked first among the princes in the world, and provided up to one million stones of grain and grass!

Looking at other vassal states, few vassal states have increased significantly in recent years. On the contrary, a large number of vassal states have decreased sharply...

The accounts are clear and clear at a glance!
