Chapter 101 Pirates’ Night Attack (2)

Mu Kangxun was full of bitterness, but he could only nod and respond.

It was also frustrating to think that he was the magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture, but he wanted to apologize to the local nobles. But what could he do when Zhao Dongting spoke?

After Zhao Dongting explained this, he looked around the ministers in the hall, "Do you all have something to report?"

No one answered.

These days, the work of various departments and departments has been on track, so naturally, I was not so stupid that I would come to report to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting waited for a few seconds, and saw that no one was talking, he said to Xiang Dongyang: "Bachelor Xiang, then please tell me your thoughts on the tax reduction and exemption of land distribution system!"

"yes."

He bowed to Zhao Dongting to Dongting.

Then he faced the ministers and slowly told his idea of ​​reducing taxes at levels.

He was neither anxious nor slow, his expression was calm, and he was quite like a hermit.

The ministers were a little dissatisfied at first, but as they listened, their faces became more and more surprised. In the end, many people showed a look of surprise.

Xiang Dongyang’s idea is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of.

At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate Xiang Dongyang.

Tax reduction and exemption at the level and subsidies are issued, which may really eliminate the resistance of the nobles to the land distribution system.

Lu Xiufu was full of surprise and said, "Xiang's students have unique insights. I think we can't think about what we can. If Xiang Jushi has nothing to do after the court is gone, can you sit in our house? I am willing to listen to Xiang Jushi's opinions on various government affairs at a glance."

Xiang Dongyang bowed and smiled, "It is better to obey orders as invited by the State Order."

He inferred Lu Xiufu's identity from Lu Xiufu's official robe. He also admired Lu Xiufu, a famous official in the folk.

Later, several officials from the State Council offered to visit Lu Xiufu's mansion and discuss political affairs.

Zhao Dongting was naturally happy when he saw this scene. What the court needed was such an atmosphere, rather than fighting each other like before.

Immediately afterwards, seeing that the ministers were fine, he asked Li Yuanxiu to announce his dispersion.

The overall situation of Leizhou Prefecture was decided, and he, the emperor, could finally be a little relaxed.

Back in the bedroom, Ying Er and Le Wu were watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

Zhao Dongting originally wanted to go to Yang Shufei's palace to talk about the detention of the nobles, but he still gave up. He knew that Yang Shufei did this because he was so sad and angry that he did not want to make Yang Shufei sad for this matter.

When he was free, he asked Li Yuanxiu to teach him some basic martial arts skills in this academy.

The skills of Li Yuanxiu, Hong Wutian and Sha Wanli all made Zhao Dongting have a strong interest in ancient martial arts.

Although he is the emperor, he also wants to become a peerless master who can't see the head and the tail.

Li Yuanxiu is definitely a martial arts genius. No one taught him in the palace, but he forced his martial arts to such an extent.

With his teachings, Zhao Dongting felt that his path in martial arts might not be unable to achieve success.

Of course, Li Yuanxiu's martial arts are so superb, which is also related to his focus. Anyone who concentrates on everything will achieve success.

Zhao Dongting also knew in his heart that there were too many trivial things, and it would be difficult to reach Li Yuanxiu's level.

But this did not reduce his determination to practice martial arts.

He was willing to learn, Li Yuanxiu was willing to teach, and the two of them immediately spread out in the yard.

Zhao Dongting only practiced internal skills before, but never practiced stylistic skills. Now, he is naturally awkward to beginners, which makes Ying Er and Li Wu laugh repeatedly.

In this way, Zhao Dongting did not stop until he was a little hungry.

At noon, Zhao Dongting was taking a nap in the bedroom. The guards outside the door suddenly reported, "Emperor, General Liu, the Huanglong Imperial Guard, asked for a meeting!"

"Is Liu Hongyi back now?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly confused. He opened the door and walked out. He only saw Liu Hongyi kneeling outside with a shameless face, not even taking off his armor.

He obviously just came back from the army and came straight into the palace before he could even get home.

Zhao Dongting felt something bad in his heart and said, "General Liu, get up first, what happened?"

Liu Hongyi knelt down and said, "The last general's expedition is unfavorable. He failed to wipe out the pirates. Please punish the emperor."

Zhao Dongting went up and pulled him up and said, "It's not good to go to the expedition? Let's talk about what's going on in detail."

Liu Hongyi looked aggrieved and embarrassed, "The General of the Mok led the army to various islands near Leizhou Prefecture to wipe out the pirates, but the thieves actually fled. The General of the Mok... The General of the Mok led the army, but could not touch their whereabouts. For three days, even the pirates had almost never seen the shadows."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed: "The pirate cunning rabbit has three holes and is familiar with the sea area. You can't blame General Liu."

His words made Liu Hongyi even more ashamed. He felt that he had lost his trust from Zhao Dongting.

Moreover, what embarrassed him was that he was the one who asked to wipe out the pirates in the Political Consultative Hall.

At this time, Zhao Dongting said again: "In this way, General Liu, please go back and rest first. After dinner, you will come to my bedroom and call General Su, General Yue and others. I will discuss the matter of destroying pirates in detail. Those pirates are extremely cunning and are in a hurry to encircle them. I am afraid that all our soldiers will go to the sea, which will be useless."

Zhao Dongting had never fought with the pirates, but he could also guess that it would be difficult to deal with those pirates who could rage overseas in Leizhou Prefecture for so long.

At the beginning, I thought this matter too simple.

Liu Hongyi nodded with shame, "I will obey the order."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

“By the way.”

Zhao Dongting suddenly remembered something and asked, "General Liu, what's wrong with me?"

Liu Hongyi said: "I will go to wipe out the pirates this time, but have not contacted those spies yet. When I get in touch with them, I will report back to the Lord."

"good."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

At night, the coolness suddenly came.

Liu Hongyi called Su Quandang, Yue Peng, Su Liuyi and others to come to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

After seeing the etiquette, the monarch and ministers began to discuss how to wipe out pirates in Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Now that the layered tax reduction and tax exemption policy is about to be introduced, the general situation of Leizhou Prefecture's development has been decided, and only these pirates will still obstruct it.

But what they didn't know was that on that night, pirates attacked Suixi County, near the sea of ​​Leizhou Prefecture.

Hundreds of small boats floated from the sea in the dark and landed secretly. Hundreds of pirates were familiar with the road and headed towards a village outside Suixi County.

These pirates are even more familiar with the geography near the sea than the government.

And these villages usually have no soldiers to guard them.
