She wanted to say: My father thinks that today's Dayan is really a peaceful and prosperous era?

Why is the land in the hands of large families?

The people don't have their own land, can they really have enough to eat?

This prosperous era, this prosperity, belongs to the famous family, and belongs to the powerful gatekeeper.

But she couldn't say it, but let the emperor think for himself.

There are more than 10,000 people, each of whom owns less than half an acre of land, and most of them are still renting other people's land, paying rent to the landlord and paying taxes from the government.

The emperor muttered: "There is a poll tax and a grain tax, but what about this peace tax?" ”

"The imperial court gives the county government a fixed amount of money, such as the county government medical office, the official media office, the post office, etc., they do not receive the court money. Where does this money come from, it is natural to apportioned it from the people, who protect the health of one of the people, promote marriages, pass on letters, and receive a monthly salary. However, the imperial court has a clear rule that people from famous families and meritorious names do not need to pay taxes, and they will naturally be distributed to the people. The people are getting poorer and poorer, but the famous families and powerful families are getting richer and richer. ”

In the long run, there are more and more fields and houses purchased by those who have money; Those who have no money have to sell their fields and family business, and they are getting poorer and poorer.

In the whole Dayan, land and wealth are more in the hands of famous families and powerful families.

Jiang Ruoning could see why no one had ever sued him. Up to now, most of the people who have been reused in the court are the sons of powerful families and famous families.

The emperor thought that he was a Ming monarch, but he didn't expect that the country had a strict problem, and the so-called prosperous peace was just a façade, in the mountains and countryside, and there were countless people who could not eat enough and wear warm clothes.

"Old sheep, send the music back to the Nourishing Palace, and Zhou Guangzong of the Xuanhu Department and Tang Qishan of the Ministry of Rites will enter the palace for deliberations."

These two are both poor students.

is about forty years old, and he is still only a layman, and he has not been reused for a long time.

The emperor said: "Guan Ting of the Criminal Department and Zhu Zheng of Dali Temple will enter the palace later." ”

The Emperor got up. Prepare to leave Cuiwei Palace.

Jiang Ruoning leaned over and shouted, "My son respectfully sends my father to the emperor." ”

The Emperor asked, "Ai'er is proficient in the law?" ”

Jiang Ruoning responded: "Yes." ”

"How about perfecting the law with you?"

"Father...... "She is proficient in the law of a thousand years later, which is ancient.

The emperor said, "I am only for details. ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "The sons can comment according to the "Dayan Statutes", and if they want to improve, the father can revise it with the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. ”

"It's fine. Turning around, I'll send you a copy of the "Great Yan Statutes" with the chief manager. ”

"Thank you, Father."

The emperor left.

This night, Yu Jiang Ruoning had another sleepless night, and the emperor did not sleep, and everyone thought it was a thousand corpses. The emperor pondered Jiang Ruoning's words repeatedly, and after announcing Zhou Guangzong, Tang Qishan, Guan Ting, and Zhu Zheng, who were from poor families, he asked some words and really found a problem.

For the people, most of the land on which they depend for survival is in the hands of the family and the gate valve, and the businessmen between the officials and the people, in order to do better business, cooperate with the family gate valve with huge profits, so the businessman makes the people's money fiercely and becomes rich again. It's a vicious circle.

If he doesn't govern the world well, sooner or later something will happen.

It was the people, not the families, who really fed the court.

He wanted to cover it up, but this time, I'm afraid he can't.

Chonghua Palace.

Concubine Shu is looking for the emperor in the sixth palace today, but no one knows where the emperor is, in other words, the people around the emperor are too tight-mouthed and insist on not revealing his whereabouts.

It wasn't until after dusk that Concubine Shu got the news.

"Yu Niangniang. The emperor went to Cuiwei Palace today. ”

"Is he at Princess Fengge?"

"Exactly. I heard that Princess Fengge returned to the palace this morning and slept until she woke up. ”

Concubine Shu said in a low voice: "Feng Ge only returned to the palace in the morning, and no one knows when she ...... left the palace."

Naturally, the emperor didn't go to see Feng Ge. Could it be that he deliberately avoided it.

Concubine Shu said: "Go to the Palace of Cultivation." ”

The eunuch said: "Yu Niangniang, the emperor summoned Zhou Guangzong and Tang Qishan to the palace for discussion. ”

"These two are not in high positions, how did they get into the emperor's holy eye?"

The emperor used to love to discuss important matters with Xie Gelao, Wen Siyuan and others, especially Wen Siyuan, but the person the emperor trusted the most suddenly changed.

The Emperor's Deliberations. No one is allowed to disturb, not even Concubine Shu dares to ask for a rash meeting.

Concubine Shu said: "Princess Min asked the palace to intercede, and wanted the Criminal Department to release Prince Min. ”

The eunuch said, "Why don't you ask Princess Fengge to help intercede?" ”

Concubine Shu shook her head, the emperor ordered the seven princes to run errands, but he didn't confide in their mother and son, she offended Jiang Ruoning ruthlessly, and Princess Min didn't fall well.

Jiang Ruoning became more and more ungraspable for her, this girl seemed young but had great means.

Capital.

In the Zhenbei Palace, Wen Pengyuan paced back and forth in the hall.

It's really embarrassing, Wen Xiuyuan went to the dark building by himself, and even Wen Lingxian went to the dark building, and the reputation of the Wen family's four rooms was completely ruined. was destroyed together, as well as Wen Yuanrui, the son of Jialongbo, who got the news and also rushed to Zhenbei Wangfu to ask for advice.

Now there are many people who have been caught by the Spiegel Division and Dali Temple in the capital, saying that they want to check whether they are related to the Thousand Corpses case, after all, there are too many bones in Songbin, so many that it is shocking.

Wen Zhiyuan said angrily: "This fourth child will cause trouble, didn't he say that he had to learn how to train sailors?" How did you run to the dark building? ”

Mrs. Wen's fourth wife, Song, snorted and cried: "Uncle, second uncle, and third uncle must fish out their father and son!" Hey, it's all my fault, it's that I can't stand him. ”

She is old and powerless in that matter, but the Wen family can't take concubines, so it's no wonder that Wen Xiu went to that kind of place. If Wen Lingyi lost all the face of the Wen family earlier, Wen Xiuyuan's face this time is not small.

Wen Pengyuan asked Wen Lingkuan: "What does Dali Temple say?" ”

"Lord Zhu said that the chief judge of this case is the Seventh Prince, and he and Lord Guan are both assistants."

Wen Lingshi, the second son of the fourth room of the Wen family, scolded: "Zhu Zheng is a slippery head, and it is clearly a prevarication." ”

Wen Xiuyuan said: "It's not that Zhu Zheng is slippery, this matter is that the Seven Princes can't do it." Today's court, the emperor was furious about this, and after the dispersal of the court, he did not go to the study, nor did he return to the palace to recuperate. The emperor is avoiding people to intercede, he sent an edict to the seven princes, don't let one go privately, and clarify the case with Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. At dusk, he suddenly issued an order to let Mo Yushi of the Supervision Yuan and Master Zhang of the Hanlin Academy cooperate to try the case of a thousand corpses. The Criminal Department designated Guan Ting, and Dali Temple was Zhu Zheng'......"

Wen Zhiyuan said: "These people are all officials from poor families. ”

Wen Fei's face was dark, "The sky in the capital is about to change...... How could the emperor suddenly order the Seven Princes, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple to surround the dark building at night, which in itself is surprising. ”

Wen Xiuyuan said: "The emperor has obtained the criminal evidence of the dark building in his hands, and the name books and account books are all there, and the emperor angrily kicked the dragon case." ”

The Wen family discussed how to get Wen Xiuyuan's father and son and Wen Yuanrui out, although they lost face, but this person should be saved.

Jia Long Bowen said: "Maybe I can talk to Princess Fengge, and now the emperor favors this princess the most." ”

Wen Lingkuan said: "Our big house owes Princess Fengge a favor, this kind of thing ......"

Wen Rushan's matter, Jiang Ruo would rather not pursue it, once he was investigated for deceiving people and cheating on marriage, etc., Wen Rushan would take off his skin if he didn't die, but he didn't investigate it at all, and even helped Dafang very cooperatively.

Jiang Ruo would rather know who Ah Bao's mother is, and the people didn't break it, just by virtue of this, the Wen family's big house owes Princess Fengge a great favor.

When Song heard this, he immediately cried: "Husband! Fourth master, the big house can help, but now I stand by and watch, it's all my fault for being an unvirtuous woman, who made a mess of ideas and caused you to open the big house, it's my fault......"

Wen Pengyuan continued to pace, "It's really not possible, I can only ask my mother to go to Changyuan Palace." ”

Wen Zhiyuan said: "Big brother, it's good to let their father and son stay in prison for a few days, so as not to do anything wrong." ”

Mrs. Wen said, "Why didn't the Seventh Prince let him go? This Lang Shizi is not also in the dark building, but it is ...... at dusk."

Wen Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Lang Shizi is not in the dark building, he has been in Cuiwei Palace for more than ten days recently. A few days ago, I was ordered to go to Cuiwei Palace to instruct Princess Fengge to paint, he was also there at that time, his recent painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, although not as good as Princess Fengge, but it is also elegant and vulgar, and it will be successful in time. ”

Several people discussed for a while, and finally decided that Mrs. Wen Liang would come forward and go to Changyuan Palace to intercede with the Queen Mother.

Min Wang's Mansion.

Princess Min has already cried into tears.

There is no shame in going to the dark building, what is shameful is that he was arrested and put in prison, if it has anything to do with the thousand corpses case, Murong Jin's future will be ruined.

Although Murong Jin is a son-in-law, King Kemin has more than a dozen sons, and for him, he would rather lose his face than his son.

Concubine Gu and Ding Chengyi were waiting to catch the prince, it was only a day, how many words did they say in front of King Min, and they said that the dark building would cost 100,000 taels of silver once, Murong Jin didn't take King Min's Mansion seriously, he took the big guy's silver to play happily.

The case that happened today immediately spread to the entire capital.

The fees in the dark building were also immediately known to the world: 100,000 taels of silver for the emperor's relatives and people with titles; 200,000 taels of silver for the children of the first to third grades; the official body of the fourth to seventh rank is 300,000 taels of silver; A son from a famous family and a famous man in the capital, 200,000 taels of silver; The rich merchant and rich man had a million taels of silver......

Xie Ge Lao, Su Yi Bo Xie Wanlin, Wen Xiuyuan and other civil and military courtiers who had some power in the court, who were happy in the dark building, were immediately pushed to the cusp of the storm.

"What the head of the clear stream, what a generation of Confucianism, it's really a shame, a bad old man who is almost seventy, actually went to the dark building to have fun, and it was a shame for us scholars."

"Su Yi Bo Suri has a serious appearance, and he turns out to be a person who loves beauty and likes the wind/flow."

"The Xie family is not as good as the generation! He disgraced the faces of his fathers and fathers. ”

Someone hurriedly said: "Zhenbei Wang Wen's family, Wen Xiuyuan's father and son were also arrested, and they were all having fun in the dark building." (To be continued.) )
