Chapter 450: The Law of Earth Breaking
In less than half a day, news came out of the palace that Huan Yu was temporarily detained in the Imperial Governor's Office.
In the Cuixuan Pavilion of Zheng Mansion, the pen in Zheng Wei's hand was broken in the middle, and a large amount of ink fell on the rattan horn paper, instantly soaking a large piece, and a manuscript that was being written was destroyed.
Wen Yu, who was waiting next to him, waved away the servant who came to report the news, and then said loudly: "Lang Jun of the Huan family is a scheming person, Lang Jun really doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Zheng Wei put down the pen in his hand, his face sank like water, and he tore up the half-written manuscript, "Send someone to inform the chief historian, Peng's subordinates and staff in the mansion that they are all gathered here to discuss things." ”
"In addition, you instructed Chang Gung to stop Shi Niang, and I won't see her first. ”
Wen Yu answered, and when she turned around, she wiped her sleeves and didn't have wet sweat on her forehead.
Stopping Shi Niang Zheng Sui, he was really not sure.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Zheng Wei's order came from behind him: "The people who followed Uncle Huan Qi into Beijing must come to Zheng's Mansion and take them to see Shi Niang." ”
The servant will confess to the man at the door. ”
Wen Yu agreed to go out, first sent servants to summon the subordinate officials in the house, and then went to the concierge in person to give instructions.
Zheng Wei expected it to be good.
As soon as Wen Yu arrived at the gatehouse, Zhang Cheng, the minister of state of Luling County, came over.
The two of them can be regarded as old acquaintances, but Wen Yuji hung up on the deliberations in Cuixuan Pavilion, exchanged a few words, placed Zhang Cheng in Ningxian Hall, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Zheng Sui.
"The news of Huan Jialangjun's detention, Shi Niang has not yet known, and I will ask the Minister of State to tell Shi Niang in detail later. ”
Zhang Cheng listened, and could only smile bitterly in his heart, "Mr. Trouble told Wulangjun that my family asked me to bring a sentence: When you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." ”
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Wen Yu, "This is what my family asked me to bring to Gorou-kun." ”
Wen Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, only to see the three words 'soil breaking method' on the cover, and was overjoyed, "Thank you, I will definitely convey it." Clapped the booklet with his hand and smiled at Zhang Cheng.
This is exactly what the Zheng family lacks at present.
Zheng Sui received it quickly.
Because Zhang Cheng was nearly sixty years old, Zheng Sui saw him directly in the main hall and did not let people erect screens or bamboo curtains.
Zhang Cheng looked at Zheng Sui in front of him, his complexion was dim, and he couldn't help but feel weak, and he came back to his senses for a while, why did the prince take the risk to come to Beijing.
"Why did the Minister of State come with him?"
Zheng Sui questioned, in the past, Huan Yu mostly went out with Huan Qin, or Lang Zhongling Tan Yuan, and Zhang Guoxiang was responsible for all the daily affairs in the county.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained, "Huan Shilang Jun went back to the country, and Tan Langzhong had something to do at home, so the servant followed the prince to this trip." ”
"The servant was entrusted by the prince to come to see the lady in order to ask the lady to relax, and the prince will be fine. ”
Zheng Sui's tone was a little anxious, "He hasn't left the palace yet?"
"The prince entered Beijing this time, firstly, to visit his wife, and secondly, to break the matter of the court. ”
"Dirt break?"
Zheng Sui looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise, even if she didn't ask about the court, she also knew that at the moment, this was an extremely sensitive and serious question, and her brows were furrowed at the moment, "What is he doing with this?"
Right now, it's something that everyone avoids.
'Tuduan' is to abolish and resettle the counties and counties of the south-moving scholars, and the south-moving scholars are included in the household registration of the counties and counties where they are located, and these registered people are owned by the imperial court, and the yellow nationality belonging to the imperial court, and the labor and tax income are also collected by the imperial court.
Its essence is the conflict of interests between the imperial court and the southward migration of scholars.
From the Yongjia Rebellion to the present, where the southward migrants occupy counties, the imperial court does not ask about the number of acres of land they occupy, and of course does not levy taxes or levies a small part of the tax.
As a result, the nobles became extravagant, and the imperial court tax revenue was insufficient.
Therefore, all along, the imperial court has wanted to take away the exclusive interests of the southward migrating scholars through the law of land breaking, and take the interests of the counties and counties they occupy into the ownership of the imperial court.
It is conceivable that the southward migrants vigorously resisted this policy.
made the previous several soil breaks, at the beginning vigorous and resolute, and finally all failed.
This is the first time that the DPRK and China have proposed a land break.
The Northern Expedition a few years ago drained the treasury, and this problem was picked out again.
I also heard Zhang Cheng say: "The prince agrees with the matter of the land break, but His Majesty thinks that the prince has different intentions, so he temporarily detains the court lieutenant office, and then makes a decision after the court has a conclusion on the matter." ”
"What's the reasoning?"
Zheng Sui was so anxious that his voice was raised a lot, "Tu Xuan is a political matter discussed by the imperial court, he is just an idler, what does it have to do with him?" As long as he thought that Huan Yu was detained in the Imperial Governor's Office and might face prison, Zheng Sui couldn't feel at ease, and he was about to get up, "I'll go find the fifth brother." ”
"Gorou-kun is aware of this and is currently discussing the matter. ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he sat back on the couch again, a little helpless, holding his forehead, and in the early spring, his forehead was sweating profusely.
"The prince will be fine, and the lady doesn't believe in the old body, so she should also believe in the prince. ”
"Madam, since the prince dares to come, he is fully prepared, no matter whether the prince supports or opposes the policy of breaking the earth, the saint will not let the prince go easily. ”
Zhang Cheng reminded again, "After all, when the prince's father was in power in the previous dynasty, in order to expand the treasury revenue, he had implemented a policy of land breaking, and it failed. ”
Yes, it failed, and in the end, it didn't work.
Zheng Sui suddenly remembered.
In the southern dynasties, all those who vigorously implemented the policy of land determination were the founding kings of the country, or the powerful ministers of the country, and increased the revenue of the treasury.
If you choose to support it, you have dissenting intentions for the imperial court and want to seek the country and seize power.
If you choose to oppose it and take history as a mirror, that is, the saint is not as good as the kings of the previous dynasty, and even inferior to Huan Lie and other powerful ministers.
Therefore, regardless of Huan Yuxuan's support or opposition, the Holy Lord will not let Huan Yu go easily.
What's more, the saint is on the rise, and Huan Yu can only choose support, otherwise he will be like the crown princess and the Wang family, and will be rejected by the saint.
The Ke Huan family is a family of overseas Chinese migrants.
The same is true of the Zheng family.
Once the policy of land breakage is implemented, the interests of their own families will also be damaged, which is a situation that the big families who have moved south do not want to see.
The imperial court began to pilot last year, starting with the royal family and the descendants, the fiefs of the kings and the descendants of the Cai family, the hidden household registration reached 10,000 households, and the population was all transferred to the yellow nationality belonging to the imperial court.
Because the crown princess and the Wang family did not cooperate, her father and several uncles have all been dismissed, leaving the saint white.
The fifth brother, Zheng Wei, is now the governor of Zhongshu Province, and the Zheng family is likely to become the next relative of the crown princess.
Zheng Sui could almost foresee that next, this errand would have to fall on the fifth brother.
Once the fifth brother Zheng Wei should take this errand, the Zheng family will not only take the lead, but will also be resisted by the other southward migration clans.
