Nanjing City.

The streets are becoming more beautiful and prosperous day by day, but the surface is bright, and the dark tide below is turbulent, which makes some officials have a headache.

Shoufu Yao Minggong finished the day's work, returned home, sat down in the back garden, and did not think about eating, and his mind echoed the sad words of the Huguang petition group in the afternoon: "No one's land fell from the sky, and the tax will be doubled all of a sudden, and the rent cannot be more than 30%...... What a life of the people! ”

Indeed, no one's land fell from the sky, there are those who occupy land by force, and there are also honest and practical silver to buy land at market price, take Yao Minggong as an example, his own land is indeed bought, dare to say that he did not buy and sell by force, he has been invisible, bought and sold through intermediaries, and even the seller does not know his name!

A landlord in his hometown he knew had 200 acres of land, which was earned by hard work and hard work.

The landlord's family also had no surplus grain, they could not eat meat a few times a year, and it took three generations to save every copper plate, and it took three generations to change from a dozen acres of land to 200 acres.

The imperial court decreed land reform, "landlords cannot collect more than 30% of the rent from tenants!"

Agricultural taxes are paid according to the land, 20 taxes for the gateway below 100 acres of land, 15 taxes between 100 acres and 500 acres, and 10 taxes for more than 500 acres! ”

As a result, the agricultural tax in the homes of some landlords has doubled all at once, and the problem is that the rent cannot be collected by more than 30 percent!

Two pinching attacks, the landlords' days are sad!

In Huguang, Ruan Dacheng, the minister of the Qincha and the imperial history of the left capital, on behalf of the imperial court, forcibly pushed the land reform plan, and the results were outstanding, but also encountered strong opposition, Ruan Dacheng's style was rough and arrogant, resulting in opposition in Huguang, and the squire sent a petition group to Beijing to ask for a meeting with the ruler, and the words were very sad, asking the court to retract the order.

In all Chinese dynasties, the land issue has always been a major problem.

Reform without moving the land is a petty fight, and once the land is moved, it often leads to violent political turmoil.

For example, the Shang Dynasty changed the law, which started from the land, and it was also opposed by a lot of people, and the car cracked after death. Wu Qi suggested moving the Chu nobles to enrich the frontier, but they were directly killed by the angry nobles......

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to increase taxes, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu issued an edict to Dutian, the so-called Dutian, which was only to measure the land, in order to limit the number of people who annexed land and enslaved people. killed some heroes, so the county surnames rebelled one after another, and it was not easy to calm down.

Zhang Juzheng in this dynasty, as an emperor, is prominent enough, but he is just implementing the "one whip law", which is not as far as Yan Changwu, and as a result, he was liquidated after his death, and was stripped of all honor (later restored), and his descendants died of hunger.

Now it's just a petition group, but Yao Minggong has no doubt that the dark tide is surging underneath, and the crisis in Huguang and even in Nanming is brewing, and some big clans are already sharpening their knives and preparing to rebel.

Far from being a joke, the intelligence agencies have already issued an alarm that some big clans have changed their lives and property.

Yes, Yan Changwu talked to him, explaining that the peasant uprising at the end of the year was caused by the peasants' loss of land, and that tens of millions of landless peasants still had to pay poll tax, had no land, no money, and had nothing, and rebellion was inevitable.

But now this kind of fierce apportionment into the mu, the gentry pay for the grain in one, offended the propertied class of the world, thinking of their strength, Yao Minggong's heart trembled.

Imperial relatives, nobles, scholars, landlords and even military generals, this is almost all classes except for agriculture and industry, they are rich and powerful, not good at stubble.

Yao Minggong had to find a way to reassure them so that the situation would not deteriorate.

There are more worries than these, and there are many local magistrates begging to go!

The reason is that the Ministry of Officials has changed the evaluation standards for officials, that is, economic indicators are in charge! Last place elimination!

In the Ming Dynasty, the officials were assessed as eight eyes, that is, greedy, cool, impetuous, not enough, old, sick, bad, careless, etc., the indicators are a bit general, as long as the person is not too successful, the luck is not too bad, that is all happy, will not easily lose the official.

Of course, the party competition in the Ming Dynasty was fierce, that was the general trend, and there was no way not to lose office.

At present, the evaluation of officials by the Ministry of Officials requires officials to hand over more money and food, and if they have money, they will win, and the last few officials in a province will be dismissed.

That is to say, whoever pays more money and food for local officials will be promoted and resigned.

There are fat and thin places, and some places have fertile land and pay a lot of money and grain, so of course the magistrate is happy.

However, don't worry about the poor places of the old and the young, and there is another article in the assessment of the officials is "per capita!" ”

If you pay a lot of money and food in your place, but there are many people, and on average, the per capita is less, so you have to work hard to raise the per capita level.

Some places are barren, but when a big project is launched, the per capita increase suddenly increases, and that is the ability of the magistrate.

Therefore, the assessment of the officials is a comprehensive balance, and slow, the payment of money and grain can not violate the law, if the exploitation is too much, it will cause a backlash from the people under its jurisdiction, and the local officials will be held accountable if they are reported to the court!

New demands have been placed on the level of local officials, and some local officials have sought to go away on the grounds that "economic development has led officials to loot localities and exploit the people."

There are also officials who have no ability and have to beg to go.

Some officials used this to hold the court hostage and force the court to change course.

The training of court officials is by no means child's play, and it cannot be used by opening a study class.

In terms of economic development, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty were inferior to the officials of the southeastern province, but in terms of stabilizing the society, the new officials of the southeastern province could not be parachuted into the local area.

Also, the scholars are dissatisfied with the imperial examination system, and what kind of science does the imperial examination have to be examined!

The difference between one word and the error is a thousand miles.

Because of the "list case" (referring to the list of people who were preparing to rebel hidden in the house of the noble Zhao Zhilong, a big case was found), the deposed nobles have a deep hatred for the leader!

Not to mention the fat pigs of the Ming Dynasty, those relatives and nobles, who hated the leader because the leader withheld their salaries, changed their inheritance laws, and demanded that they pay more taxes and grain.

There are enemies everywhere, Yao Minggong feels the deep malice of the upper class.

What comforted Yao Minggong was that the Ming army seemed to listen to the leader's words, and with the army in hand, at least he was at ease.

It's a big deal, escorted by the army, take a boat to go to Taiwan, anyway, the "ticket" is indispensable to Yao Minggong.

What made him angry was that a certain young man who provoked all this actually patted his ass and walked, handed over the mess to him, and brazenly said "You do things, I don't worry!" ”

If you do something, I don't feel at ease, let alone worry!

You run away, out of sight is clean, you transferred the main force of the Ming army, what do you want me to do!

If you don't make the ticket invalid!

In the past, Yao Minggong saw that Sun Chengzong was deeply trusted by the leader, almost saying nothing, and was very envious, but after he came to power, he found that the leader was a pure lazy person, and shamelessly handed over political affairs to his concubines and ministers.

In a stable society, these rulers are of course familiar with it, such as Yang Ying'er, the big mother of Southeast Asia, and no one opposes her.

But here is a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment!

Yao Minggong, who was in trouble, was finally coaxed by the concubine, had dinner, and was drinking tea, when the housekeeper came up and said, "Governor He is here to worship!" ”

Governor He, Governor of Huguang He Tengjiao, because Ruan Dacheng made trouble in Huguang and discussed with He Tengjiao, the disposal of the feudal officials was not a trivial matter, Yao Ming Gong summoned He Tengjiao to Beijing to live temporarily.

Yao Minggong thought for a moment and said, "Invite him to meet at the Moon Pavilion!" ”

"Yes!" The butler answered.
