Chapter 580: Lethal Amount of Relaxation
Divide the fiefdom of Confucius?
Kong Wenshao's face was still as usual, and he heard that Liangxiang implemented the apportionment of the land into the mu, that is, the land was returned to the people, and then the tax was apportioned according to the mu.
But the fiefdom of the Confucian Mansion is the fief of the previous dynasties, how can the emperor say that it will be abolished, you ask the people of the world if they agree.
"There are many fiefs in the Yansheng Mansion, but there are also many children of the clansmen, and the vassal king alone can sit on a fiefdom, if the Yansheng Mansion is evenly shared, it is far inferior to the vassal king, Your Majesty Mingjian!"
The corners of Li Dongyang's mouth curled slightly.
The sound outside the strings is to rectify the Shenggong Mansion and first rectify the vassal king.
As everyone knows, the vassal king is a chronic disease of the imperial court, and it cannot be easily rectified, otherwise, there will be another battle of appeasement.
Yan Chengjin looked at the gold brick a foot away in front of him and fell into deep thought.
He prepared three floors for the Confucian Mansion,
The first layer is to divide the fiefdom of the Confucian Mansion, which is divided into acres.
The second layer is to exile Kong Wenshao and most of the Kong clan people overseas.
The third layer is the old system of passing on the Holy Fathers to the eldest sons, and changing it to the inheritance of the sages in the Kong clan.
Li Dongyang only knows the first layer, and Wang Shouren knows the second layer.
He was the only one, standing on the third floor.
In addition to this, there are two hands to prepare.
Wang Shouren said: "The top priority of the imperial court is to raise the people first, and the fertile land occupied by Yan Shenggong has surpassed that of Huangzhuang, and the minister thinks that what Lord Yan said is reasonable." ”
Baiguan took a deep breath.
One million acres! If it hadn't been measured today, they wouldn't have known that the land of Confucius Mansion was so huge.
Emperor Hongzhi was even more angry after reading the four books, and the imperial palace was more than 10,000 hectares, which could be used for the royal family's expenses, and there was still a surplus.
The fields of the Yansheng Mansion were similar to them, and they also asked the imperial court to beg for a large amount of money for sacrifices.
"I don't know that the people of Shandong have withered to such a point.
The descendants of Confucius, should they live up to their ancestors' teachings? Live up to the country's grace? The next lives up to what you have learned.
What Yan Sheng Gong did made me extremely disappointed. ”
Kong Wenshao's heart is cold? How much face do the people of the Kong family have in front of the emperor? But His Majesty said such things in front of hundreds of officials.
Although the ancestors were saints, could they live on the loess? It's all up to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Guilty of sin! ”
Xiao Jing passed on Yan Chengjin's bullet seal? Presented to Jian Liu.
Four years of Hongji? According to the census of the Yellow Book, there are 5 million people in Shandong, but now there are only more than 3 million people in the Yellow Book.
Liu Jian looked at Yan Chengjin: "Can the source of these yellow books be true?" ”
"Xie Yu is deduced from the tax? It should not be far off. ”
Is the per capita tax levied on Shandong fields? Regardless of the size of the field, it is taxed on the basis of capitation.
Conversely, it is possible to extrapolate the number of people, but it is not accurate, after all, there are landless people and black households? and non-tax payers.
But you can also roughly calculate the number.
Yan Chengjin guessed that the fleeing and sharply declining population? That should add up to a million people.
Xiong Qian of the Criminal Department hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few descendants of the Confucian Mansion?" It's hard to control, Kong Wenshao just inherited the title of Yan Shenggong not long ago? There are also extenuating circumstances. ”
"The ministers seconded it!" Several of the main bookkeepers of the Criminal Department stood up.
Li Dongyang's head? Back to the source? This is a maladministration left over from the successive generations of Yan Shenggong.
Kong Wenshao knew that if he didn't argue, he would have no chance: "When the minister returns to Shandong this time, he must strictly control the clansmen." ”
Emperor Hongzhi frowned, on one side were the descendants of the Kong family, and on the other side were the people of Shandong.
If I let Yan Shenggong go back, the adults in Shandong will be purgatory, and the displaced people in the capital will not stop, and the symptoms will not be cured.
"Yan Qing's family, is it too ruthless to implement the apportionment into the mu in Shandong?"
"At the beginning, Song Renzong canonized the Holy Duke of Yan, which was to grant the eldest son of the Kong family, so only the eldest son was favored by the imperial court, and the rest of the people were no different from the common people, why should they be rewarded by the imperial court?
Besides, it occupies millions of acres of land, and if there is any rebellion, ......"
King Pan was not allowed to occupy too much land and was not allowed to leave the vassal state.
is afraid of rebellion, and the land occupied by Yan Sheng Gong now is one hundred and ten times more than that of the vassal king.
The fief of the vassal king only occupied one prefecture or even one state, while the fief of the Yan Sheng Gong occupied one province of Shandong.
Kong Wenshao was frightened and pointed at Yan Chengjin: "What kind of rebellion...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
If Emperor Hongzhi was poured from his head with ice water, his face changed in vain.
The officials became extremely grim.
The vassal king will rebel, why won't the holy prince of Yan? The children of the saints can hardly guarantee that they have no objection.
The people of the Confucian Mansion alone are enough to form an army of 10,000 people, not to mention the countless gold and silver treasures of the Confucian Mansion.
Yan Chengjin took out his second hand from his cuffs: "This is Kong Wenshao's dowry from the Li Mansion, pearl brocade, antique calligraphy and painting, worth 300,000 taels."
The minister remembered that the dowry given to the Zeng Mansion under the prince's wedding was less than 100,000 taels. ”
Kong Wenshao knelt on the ground, frightened and overwhelmed, occupying millions of acres of fertile land, and giving another 300,000 taels of dowry.
Originally, there was nothing to do, but Yan Chengjin was all involved in the rebellion.
Emperor Hongzhi's pupils shrank, and he looked at Li Dongyang unhappily: "Is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes, the minister has returned all the dowry." Li Dongyang made a fuss, but he didn't expect Yan Chengjin to even move this matter to the court and say, it's really a grudge...
"Your Majesty...... These treasures, calligraphy and paintings, are all collected by the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the minister just wants to temporarily put the Li Mansion and find a way to retrieve the ...... in the future" Kong Wenshao was shocked and incoherent.
He is only thirty years old, and he often studies at home, where has he dealt with the scene of rebellion.
Li Dongyang scoffed when he heard this, he didn't realize Kong Wenshao's thoughts, so dirty.
The faces of the officials are different, maybe they will do the same.
20,000 taels of silver can buy a Kuanfu mansion in the capital, 300,000 taels, how huge?
Yan Chengjin didn't expect that Kong Wenshao's financial management was the same as that of King Ning.
King Ning generously scattered wealth, that is, temporarily stored the property in the hands of hundreds of officials, and then forced the hundred officials to take it back after ascending the throne.
Therefore, it is extremely refreshing to buy hundreds of officials, and give whatever you want.
Xiong Qian looked at Kong Wenshao helplessly, if he didn't come to the capital, maybe it wouldn't be like this.
Yan Chengjin's means are sufficient, and he has been in the initiative since the investigation of millions of acres of fields.
Kong Wenshao prostrate on the ground, trembling: "The minister is willing to cut off half of the field and return it to the people." ”
Half of it is 600,000 mu, and such as Liu Jian and others, the fertile land is only about 10,000 mu.
Yan Chengjin put his hand into his arms again: "Your Majesty, this is the list of the remnants of the White Lotus found out by the Arrest Division in Shandong. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, the imperial court has been tracking down the remnants of Bailian, and he is hiding in Shandong?
Liu Jian's faces froze, and they were unprecedentedly serious.
Xiong Qian had goosebumps all over his body, Yan Chengjin was able to find the traces of Bailian?
Xiao Jing knew that the stakes were high, so he hurriedly trotted down and took Yan Chengjin's note.
"I don't know if the White Sect is related to the Confucian Mansion, but since Yongle, these people from the White Sect have been stationed in Shandong, and they have been locked up in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Dirty...... Slander! ”
Yan Chengjin pursued with victory: "I implore Your Majesty to return millions of acres of land to the people, remove Kong Wenshao's title, exile overseas, ban the old system of Yansheng Gong's eldest son, and change the virtuous Kong family to be crowned." ”
