Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 139: National policy promulgated, Changsun family disaster
Li Chengqian then inquired about the textbook issue, which was also being processed in an orderly manner, and would probably be carried out after Li Shimin arrived.

However, all the children of school age around Chang'an have been registered and schools have been built.

The masters were selected from officials, doctors of the Imperial Academy, or young and promising students.

The emperor's disciple.

Everyone knows how much importance Li Shimin attached to it. Officials and doctors personally taught this first batch of the emperor's disciples, and those who had excellent grades and great talents.

Given time, he will surely be able to hold a high position in government and be given important positions.

Teaching is also a way to build up your network.

For those who have no hope of promotion or have no background to rely on, this is undoubtedly a way to accumulate blessings for future generations.

……

The first day of March.

The imperial court officially issued a policy to encourage childbirth and sent it to government offices in all provinces, states, and counties, asking them to implement it and inform the people in all places.

Once released, it caused great heated discussion in Chang'an.

The imperial court paid money and provided rewards for having children. This was the first time I had seen this. Rich families were amazed and ordinary families were excited.

However, the imperial court stipulated that men must be sixteen years old to get married, which caused many people to complain.

It’s a pity that when incentives are linked to requirements, any complaints will not cause any trouble.

"Da Lang."

"We have arrived at Chang'an County."

Li Chengqian rode a fine horse, and was accompanied by a dozen Jinyiwei followers in plain clothes.

The other Jinyiwei who had already arrived were mixed in the crowd.

This time he came out on a secret visit, wanting to see the situation of the people in various places after the decree was issued for a period of time.

Chang'an County is not far from Chang'an City, but there is still a huge difference between them.

Li Chengqian chose this place without notifying the local authorities.

"Go to the government office."

"How many people have come to register?"

After Li Chengqian entered the city, he did not ride a horse but walked.

He also observed the development of Chang'an County.

how to say.

It's not bad, at least there are shops and vendors everywhere, it's quite lively.

As we approached the government office, we could see a lot of people gathered from afar.

Some people have big bellies, while others don't show their pregnancy at all.

"Be quiet, be quiet."

"Come one by one."

"The decree issued by the court is a great boon to you. Don't crowd in and cause unforeseen situations."

The official at the door shouted loudly.

Everyone started to line up in an orderly manner, and it was too late to regret when they really managed to squeeze out.

"The He family from Xiaolianzi Village?"

"How many months?"

"Nine months? Oh my god, you're almost not making it."

A dark-skinned, weathered man supported his wife and said with a big smile, "Shangguan, I'm just anxious."

"I'm afraid my wife won't be able to be registered when she's about to give birth."

Others looked at his wife's belly and gasped, it was obvious that she was about to give birth.

If you leave without registering, you will lose a lot of money, not only will you not get any bonus, but you will also not get any monthly salary.

"Husband, I feel like I'm about to give birth. My stomach hurts so badly."

When did he hold up his waist, showing a look of pain.

"Just bear with it, just bear with it."

"It will be registered soon."

The man was sweating profusely and said, "Shangguan, please be quick."

"My wife is about to give birth."

The official said coldly: "Why are you so flustered? We need to verify our identity and register clearly."

"If I make a mistake, are you responsible or am I responsible?"

He worked neither hurriedly nor slowly, but everyone felt that he was being perfunctory and deliberately delaying time.

The man was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"How difficult is it to register this bastard?"

"I'm about to give birth even when I'm standing."

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help but curse.

Li Chengqian glanced at him. He didn't expect that you, the son of a duke, the son-in-law of the emperor, and the prince's household steward, could understand empathy.

Where are you usually so arrogant and domineering outside?

"Duho."

"Send someone to get a midwife."

Li Chengqian said.

Du He immediately responded and went down.

He folded his arms and looked into the distance, not too anxious.

This is the kind of thing I encountered when I came out.

What if I haven’t met him?
At this time.

A cunning-looking man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks pulled the rough man aside.

I don't know what they said, but the man seemed extremely excited and started arguing with the sharp-faced and monkey-faced guy.

"Da Lang, what do you think they are talking about?"

Chang Sun Chong asked.

"Who knows?" Li Chengqian didn't have a good hearing.

It was not enough. Seeing the man coming back with an unwilling look on his face, the officials' men moved obviously faster.

The registration procedures for the man and his wife were completed quickly.

"Find a place to deliver his baby and call someone over to ask questions."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the man came tremblingly, he was brought here by several strong men.

"Please spare my life, my dear, please spare my life, my wife..."

When the man saw a room full of strong men, he was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Chengqian stood with his back to him, looking at the government office in the distance from the window without saying anything. Chang Sun Chong asked, "The officials made things difficult for you just now, but why did they handle it for you so quickly later?"

"Who is that guy with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks?"

"What did you talk about?"

Li Chengqian didn't turn around. "Let him sit up and talk slowly."

"Yes!" Chang Sun Chong said, "Get up and sit down to talk."

"The villain dare not."

"Sit down if you're told to."

The man sat down cautiously. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend this group of people, so he had to explain with hesitation, "The man said that as long as I promised to give birth to the child, the government would give me a reward of 800 for a boy and 1,500 for a girl."

"He also said that half of my monthly salary from now on should be given to him."

Chang Sun Chong widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked at the prince's back, not daring to imagine what the prince's expression would be at this moment.

"You just listen to whatever he says?" Chang Sun Chong said.

"I have no choice but to listen. If the officials don't register it, my wife won't get a penny when she gives birth, and she won't even get her monthly salary."

The man said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do."

"Don't the government care about this kind of thing?"

"Why would the government care? I've heard that there are people who specialize in doing this kind of thing."

The man continued, "For people like us who come from the village and are about to give birth, some people will deliberately make things difficult for us and eat up a lot of the reward money."

"If you are not in a hurry, you will also have to deduct half."

Chang Sun Chong said: "There is no rush, why deduct it?"

"Is it not possible not to give it?"

The man whispered, "It seems not to work. On the way here, I heard from other villages that someone promised to give money, but didn't want to pay, so the government simply refused to give it."

"Then they came to the house and beat the man up. Their newborn baby was even beaten to death."

Li Chengqian turned around suddenly, his expression terribly gloomy.

Chang Sun Chong's heart was jumping out of his throat, and he said sternly: "Are you telling a lie?"

"Is there anyone who is so cruel and ruthless as to commit such a crime?"

The man lowered his head and said, "I don't know whether it's true or not, but what they said is very convincing."

"Which village?"

"Qinglin Village..."

Li Chengqian said: "Du He, go check it out immediately. If it is true, bring the person here."

"Send someone immediately to investigate what he said."

"Yes!"

The man was taken out, and Chang Sun Chong knew that the prince must be furious at this moment.

"Your Highness, these bastards are so brave, aren't they afraid of death?"

Chang Sun Chong said: "It's too shocking."

Li Chengqian looked at the man jumping up and down with a pointed face and monkey cheeks from a distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go and bring that man here."

"Yes!"

moment.

The man with a pointed chin and monkey face was grabbed and pinned to the ground by two plainclothes guards.

"What?"

"What are you doing?"

"Do you know who I am? I work for the Third Master."

"Do you know who is behind the Third Master?"

"That's the Zhaoguo Mansion, the people from the Changsun family."

"If you offend the Changsun family, you will suffer the consequences."

The man spoke a lot and showed his eyes as soon as he came in.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the flood would also flush the Dragon King Temple."

"Brother Chong, you come and ask."

Chang Sun Chong was about to eat the man, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified into substance.

He never imagined that behind this abominable thing was the Changsun family's reputation.

Snapped!
Without saying a word, he went up and slapped the man in the face. Not feeling satisfied yet, he picked up a stool and started smashing it around.

Enter your mother's.

You bastard, are you trying to harm my Changsun family?

"Why, you want to kill people to silence them, and cover up the truth?"

Li Chengqian crossed his arms and said lightly.

"Da Lang, I..." Chang Sun Chong's face changed.

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "Ask!"

"Tell me, who asked you to threaten someone?"

"..."

The man couldn't hold it at all and fell out in no time.

This is an unwritten rule in Chang'an County.

At the beginning, the implementation in Chang'an County was normal.

But later on, when I saw that it was profitable, I realized that there was only so much money for a child, so how could I give it to those peasants?

So, a man named San Ye set his eyes on this deal.

The Third Master simply married his daughter to the nephews of the Changsun family, but relying on this reputation, he was able to act in a very arrogant manner in Chang'an County, although he was not overbearing.

There are also corrupt officials in the government who want to curry favor with the Third Master so that they can get in touch with the Changsun Family.

Although Changsun Wuji had no real power, he had suffered huge criticism before.

Among all the important officials in Chang'an, he is actually not very prominent.

But outside, everyone is afraid of the Changsun family's reputation.

"Go and call Sun Fujia."

Li Chengqian ordered calmly.

"Your Highness, this is none of my business."

Chang Sun Chong said hesitantly.

"My mother once said that she was afraid that my uncle would interfere in government affairs like the relatives of the Han Dynasty, and the Changsun family would also end up in a miserable situation."

Li Chengqian said: "So, don't let my uncle take power."

"But mother has made all kinds of plans to protect the Changsun family, but there are always people who don't take it seriously and want to emulate the Han Dynasty's relatives."

Chang Sun Chong knelt on the ground, lowered his head and dared not speak.

"The Changsun family has flourishing branches and leaves, and deep roots?"

Li Chengqian's words frightened Chang Sun Chong so much that he almost lost his soul and trembled continuously.

"Your Highness, I acknowledge my guilt."

"Go clean up the mess yourself!"

He walked out, and Chang Sun Chongtou turned around hurriedly, only to hear footsteps fading away and a voice coming from afar.

"This will never happen again!"

Chang Sun Chong raised his hands high and bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"
