Chapter 73: Conservatism

"Brother Wang Lun, Wang Xianggong can be described as treating you with all sincerity, and looking at it makes my brother's eyes hot."

In the courtyard of the Yamen of the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, the two walked forward side by side, and Wang Yan was joking as he walked.

"General Wang, Wang Xianggong is so sincere to his subordinates, you know. He was able to come to Shaanxi this time because this place had been dilapidated for a long time, and it involved future plans, so he ......"

Wang Lun lightly pointed to the west with his hand, and Wang Yan knew it, so he also nodded lightly.

"Speaking of which, in the city of Tokyo that day, he was just a down-and-out idler, if it wasn't for the public appreciation, how could there be today? People treat me as a countryman, and we can only repay me with death. ”

Wang Yan nodded, feeling a little regretful in his heart. In this land of Shaanxi, it seems that he is idle, and although his days are idle, it seems that he is useless.

"General Wang, Shaanxi is withered, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and the prime minister has arranged you and me here, and it is also painstaking. In this place, we can pacify bandits, maintain law and order, and beware of the imperial army, and the burden on you and me is not light!"

The loyal and righteous army is separated from the military and the government, the military and political affairs belong to Wang Yan, and the civil affairs all belong to Wang Lun.

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "I just can't go to the battlefield, my heart is empty, and it's a little uncomfortable."

"General Wang, don't worry."

Wang Lun comforted: "Wang Xianggong has the world in mind, east and west, north and south, Western Xia, Jurchen, south, and even overseas will use troops, and I am afraid that you will not be able to keep busy at that time!"

Wang Yan's heart suddenly warmed up.

Wang Lun is Wang Song's right-hand man, and what he says is naturally nine times out of ten. It seems that the day of this battle is still ahead.

"I also hope that Brother Wang will say a lot of good words in front of the prime minister, so that my brother and I can fight on the battlefield."

"You and my own brother, why do you have to see each other like this. Our top priority is to do a good job of the affairs of the bus generation, and everything has to be done step by step. ”

"That's that, it's not going to be a good deal!"

The two were talking and laughing, and before they reached the front of the lobby, the official ran over sweating profusely.

"Prince, general, something is wrong!"

Wang Lun was shocked in his heart, it seemed that the matter of measuring the fields was really not going well.

Compared with the establishment of colleges and education in full swing, Shaanxi's reclamation of barren tuntian is not very smooth, Wang Song's every move has touched the interests of the local big landlords and gentry, many of the fields under their names have been cultivated for many years, of course, they are not willing to be taken back, or rather, they are not willing to pay taxes.

Shaanxi is not like the two rivers, a piece of white paper, can be smeared at will, although Shaanxi suffered from the military disaster for a long time, but Shaanxi has many western armies, and the Jurchens always have scruples. Those who are powerful and powerful, and who are optimistic about the land properties that have not been easily accumulated, want to pay taxes to the government according to the land, and all of them are unwilling, and many people are full of complaints, and even ready to move.

Wang Lun sat in the room, listening to the people below report the matter, and the whole person's face turned black.

Recently, the government and local tycoons have been making a lot of trouble in the matter of measuring acres of land, and many officials have been injured and driven away. Today, when officials in Fuping County were surveying the land, they were attacked by the people of Dongxiang Township, killing two officials and injuring six.

Officials who came back later reported that a similar incident had happened in Xianyang County, where the villagers of Lijiazhuang had thrown two officials who had gone to investigate into the Wei River and drowned, and no one had come to surrender so far.

Many wastelands that are obviously ownerless are also blocked by the local tyrants and are not allowed to be measured.

If this continues, will you still reclaim the barren fields?

"These shitty things, they should all be killed!"

Wang Yan changed color, his face was red, and his hair was angry.

Dare to confront the government like this, kill officials, and challenge the authority of the Chinese medicine king, what face will the loyal and righteous army have to stay in this Shaanxi in the future!

Aren't they afraid of the sword of the loyal army?

"Clan forces are making trouble!"

Wang Lunxin

Li secretly sighed, what he was most worried about finally happened, and the local heroes began to act again for their own selfish interests.

The power of the country is not under the county, but the clan under the county, the clan is autonomous, the autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics creates the squire.

Clan culture promotes the continuation of the nation-state; The population of the clan multiplies, so that the nation cannot be destroyed; For the education of the children of the clan, the sense of responsibility is emphasized.

However, the clan does not care about the country and the nation, lacks the spirit of fraternity, and the small self restricts the big self. So much so that the golden people went south, and thieves abounded when they opened the door.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the government was corrupt, and all along, the officials controlled the local civil affairs, rural autonomy, and township covenants, and the powerful landlords had become the backbone of society.

Clans promote national cohesion. Especially in troubled times, the autonomy and mutual assistance of the clan can help the country to "teach the people" and "raise the people", and educate and pacify.

The government's implementation of compulsory education is not contradictory to clan ethnology, the government implements land clearance, collects taxes, and the borderless land belongs to the government, but it hurts the interests of the clan landlords and the powerful, and these people control the clan power, so they naturally have to do everything possible to confront it.

Otherwise, how to evade taxes, how to hide acres, and how to abolish the public for private purposes?

Although Wang Lun admires the clan culture, the clan only cares about the family and ignores the national law, but he really can't bear it. In particular, it is really unbearable to openly oppose the government and commit murder.

The clan power in the south is even bigger than that in the north, if the new deal can't be carried out in the north where the clan power is weak, then how can the loyal and righteous army settle the world when it reaches the south in the future?

"The prefect is the prime minister, this matter can be big or small, if the place is turbulent, the people are uneasy, you have to be cautious!"

Zhang Hao, who had just finished talking about things and had not had time to leave, was afraid that Wang Lun would be impulsive, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

Measuring acres of land is not yet a "uniform land system", which has made these powerful landlords dissatisfied, if they want to divide the land among the people......

"Could it be that the day when my loyal army will be the master of the house is coming to an end?"

The faces of the people in the room were solemn.

"Prince, you sit in the government office, I want to see if their necks are hard, or my Wang Yan's knife is hard!"

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, if the government decrees cannot be issued, where is the dignity and face of the government, and where is the face of the loyal and righteous army?"

The generals of the loyal army in the house were all pale.

Dare to go against the government, and don't look at it, whose world is this!

Blatant murder, human life, lawlessness!

In the borderless land, the government can't count it, what is the meaning of existence? If you really want to farm, the land in Guanzhong, the wasteland is not more than one million acres, and the government is also exempt from levy.

Selfishness, self-esteem is too high, and foolishness!"

"Mr. Hengqu has a saying, establishing a heart for heaven and earth and covering the goodness of people's hearts is the right principle of heaven and earth. Therefore, benevolence and love for things is to establish a heart for heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are based on living things, and people's hearts are based on compassion. Such wicked people are tolerable and intolerable to coerce public opinion, confront the government, and harm people's lives!"

Wang Lun's words made Zhang Hao sweat coldly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Prince, don't be impulsive, lest you make a big mistake!"

"What went wrong?"

Wang Lun's face was gloomy, and the cold glint in his eyes made people's hearts tremble.

"Xianggong asked me to sit in Shaanxi, reclaim the barren fields, restore all industries, and take precautions, this is the big thing I want to do!"

Wang Yan also said: "The major events in the world, how can the young people change their ways!" The prince is worry-free, at this time, I will go and handle it, and we will never miss the major matter of reclamation!"

Wang Lun nodded. Now there is no other way but to use thunderbolts to deter the rats.

Coercing public opinion and confronting the government, how can those simple people have such scheming and courage!

"General Wang, if anyone resists, the first evil will be killed, and all the coerced followers will be brought back to the government office, and the canonical punishment will be made to calm the hearts of the people."

Wang Lun and Wang Yan were both pale. So far, too

I can only show my muscles and move the knife.

In Xianyang City, on the second floor of the "Zhongnan Restaurant" at the intersection of South Street, it is full of friends and friends.

"The government is really ridiculous. If you want to measure the acres of land, you don't have to ask what we mean. Any idea this is there? This is the thousand-year-old imperial city, and it is the boundary of our Shaanxi people! ”

Li Gui, the owner of Lijiazhuang outside the city, has thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of villagers, and countless transactions in the city, and is a celebrity in ten towns and eight miles.

"That is, the government has divided the fields, who will farm for us? Measuring the acres of land, isn't this forcing us to hand over the land? If we continue like this, won't we lose a lot of money!"

Another white and chubby man shook his head and continued.

Once the government divides the fields, those subordinate households and tenants have their own fields, and their own families are too busy, who will still work for them. Besides, these heroes and strongmen are thousands of acres of land, if they pay taxes according to the property of the field, how much more grain each person has to pay, who can be willing to do it!

"Li Yuanwai, are we making a big fuss? After all, it was an official errand of the government. Four lives, this is no joke!"

Another man in brocade about forty years old was a little unsteady in his heart and had a sad face.

"What are you afraid of, since ancient times, the law does not blame the public, do they still dare to kill?"

Another strong man with a meaty face waved his hand disdainfully.

"Besides, those who rushed to the front to make trouble were all those mud legs, even if they were caught by the government, they were not released for two days and put on a show. What does this concern us?"

There was a burst of echo in the crowd, and Li Gui also nodded. When the time comes, the government will investigate and introduce a few scapegoats, and the matter will be over. That's a poor ghost, if they dare to retract their confession, unless they don't want to mix in the clan.

Anyway, unless the government consults with them and guarantees their interests, they don't want to go on smoothly and smoothly by measuring acres of land and cultivating barren fields.

"Li Yuanwai, Xu Daguan, it's better to be careful in everything."

An old man over fifty years old, although his body is thin, the clothes on his body are luxurious, especially the green wrench finger on his hand, which is obviously expensive.

"The old man has heard that this loyal army is a rebellious man who kills people without blinking. In case the government is angered, they bring the loyal and righteous army here, these ruffians, they are not even afraid of a single child, but there is no seriousness in the attack. ”

"Dong Gong, you better put your heart back in your stomach."

Li Gui shook his head, smiled, and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Don't say the law and don't blame the public, there are still many scholars here, could it be that he is loyal to the righteous army, and he really wants to offend the people of Shaanxi?"

Imperial power does not go to the countryside, it has been the same since ancient times. Even during the Taiping period, the Song court never suppressed annexation, regardless of these taxes, the officials who managed the taxes were also filled by these wealthy people.

As for this time, some people began to miss the Great Song Dynasty.

"If only the official family didn't go south."

"At that time, the imperial court was still in Tokyo City, and this Shaanxi's legal law Tian Fu was like this. No one can change it at will!"

If the Song family did not move south, they could still deceive their superiors and subordinates and do whatever they wanted, anyway, it was still those poor people in the lower classes who suffered.

"If the government is still strong, if the loyal army comes, what should we do?"

Someone asked loudly.

"The Loyal Righteous Army is nothing! The rebellious ministers and thieves still have the name of the Xuanfu Division of the Great Song Dynasty! If the government dares to do nonsense, won't it be humiliating itself, and see how he can explain to the people of the world?"

When Li Gui said this, it was a shot in the arm for everyone.

How to say, Shaanxi under the rule of Xuanfu Si still bears the name of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty court is accustomed to things, why should he Xuanfu Division take care of it! He is not afraid of losing the hearts of the people?

In this world, is there still a Great Song Law?

In this world, is it still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty?
