Chapter 110: Roast on the fire

The king of Yuancheng County, the king of the Daimyo Mansion in Hebei, was the son of King Feng, the second son of Emperor Sejong. is also one of the county kings after the old man held power. However, within more than ten years, seventy percent of the land in Yuancheng County, where the government is located, has become his name, not counting the land in other counties under the jurisdiction of the government.

The land under his name has reached more than 50,000 hectares. You must know that the Daimyo's Mansion is located on Hebei Road, which is not rich in the north, and the imperial court mainly collects money and grain. The Daimyo Mansion and the Baoding Mansion in the north are collectively known as the Baoda Second Mansion, which is the richest place in the entire Hebei Road. He occupies such a land as a county king, and even if he doesn't do anything every year, he collects more than 200,000 yuan in land rent alone.

However, because most of the anointed land of the first mansion was in the hands of the prince's mansion of his county, the money and grain collected in the daimyo's mansion every year did not reach this amount. The total amount of money and grain collected by the entire daimyo government in a year is less than 200,000 yuan. This is the richest place in the entire Hebei Road, and the agricultural tax is less than one county king a year.

Looking at the evaluation of the dossier on this landlord, who is known as the largest landlord on Hebei Road, the surplus grain accumulated in the mansion can be used for 30 years, and the wealth accumulated in the mansion can be used for 50,000 people and horses for several years, Huang Qiong was speechless for a long time. The emperor returned him 5,000 acres of Yongye land, and in just over ten years, he expanded to more than 50,000 hectares, which is not an ordinary high.

This county king lives a drunken life on a huge land rent. Although his county king's mansion was not too large because of regulations, it was extremely luxurious by him. The dossier describes his royal palace, and the main hall is almost all made of rosewood beams. All the furniture is made of rosewood.

Although the stones used to lay the ground in each house are not afraid to use gold bricks, they are all porphyry stones purchased from Yanshan Mansion. This alone cost more than ten dollars. In the garden of his county king's mansion, a rockery purchased from Suzhou cost 50,000 yuan.

This cousin of mine is even more cold in terms of beauty. Although it has not developed to the point of plundering, the taste is also quite heavy. Whether it is the ** in the indecent tile lane, or the widow whose husband died, or even the nurse of her own children. As long as it is in his eyes, he will not hesitate to get it back to the house at a high price. There are more than 100 dancers and courtesans raised at home.

There were more than 40 wives and concubines in his house alone. And that's not even counting the maids who slept in bed, the unregistered concubines, and the ones who couldn't be on the register and bought them from the brothels. These women's annual fat powder money and monthly money are as high as 100,000 yuan.

And this old man, he is not satisfied with these dozens of wives and concubines in the family. My biggest hobby in life is visiting brothels. Whether it is a high-class book apartment or a low-grade tile alley, it is all in the interest of this old man. As long as he takes a fancy to him, he will definitely spare a lot of money.

In the brothels of the entire Daimyo's Mansion, no matter how high or low the grade is, as long as a newcomer comes, he is bound to go to the party. comb the cage for a Qing man, even at the expense of throwing tens of thousands of dollars. If a new person came to that brothel and didn't let him comb the cage first, the brothel wouldn't be able to open at all.

In order to maintain his body that was hollowed out by wine, this county king took something like a deer fetus, ginseng, and tiger whip to eat every day. There are more than 100 kinds of medicines used to help people at home. There is even a special farm to raise sheep and grow turnips for him in order to get sheep kidneys for him.

Recently, I don't know who came up with a recipe, saying that drinking human milk is a big supplement, and the nurse who specially feeds him at home has raised more than a dozen. It's just that his cousin, who is too greedy for beauty, is obviously making up for it. If you take a few steps, you have to pant heavily, and even in the house, you can only sit in a sedan chair. Even if you have sex with a woman, you need the help of a maid in the back.

This is that there is no disease with the prefix of love in this era, and there is no disease with the prefix of plum. is still put aside after a thousand years, with this old man's cold taste, it is estimated that the bayberry sores on his body will be rotten. It is said that King Yong is ridiculous, but the absurdity of King Yong can be called a saint compared to this old man.

Take a peek and see the whole leopard, a county king can amass so much wealth in more than ten years, what about the other county kings and county princes? The foundation of the world in the mouths of these emperors is gradually hollowing out the foundation of this seemingly huge, but now extremely weak imperial court. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly.

50,000 hectares of land, even if the current tax rate is 10 per 1, at least 200,000 yuan of taxes will be paid into the account every year. But now, all the money and food that should have entered the court have gone into his personal pocket. The imperial court, which has to support a large number of officials and troops, is obviously struggling to make ends meet at the moment, but these clans are still relying on the large amount of wealth they have amassed.

Putting down the file in her hand, Huang Qiong sighed slightly. And Jia Quan, who was copying some key points on the dossier over there, also sighed: "Lord Wang, Quan has not finished reading the two dossiers, but it is also quite eye-opening. These absurd things of the clan of this dynasty, if they are compiled into wild histories and sold, it is estimated that they can become quite good Fengyue novels, and it is estimated that the Luoyang paper to be sold is expensive. ”

"Look at this Yuzhang County King of Zhongling County, Yuzhang Prefecture, judging from what he has done, he is not a rich man. There are more than 20,000 hectares of land at home, forcing the local people not to grow food, turning half of the land into tea gardens, and selling tea in collusion with the Guilin County Palace. ”

"According to the order of the imperial court, unless the land under the name of the clan is grown with grain, any other crops must be taxed. But this old man has not paid a penny since the seventh year of Mingde. This year is the fifteenth year of Mingde, and this brother's tax arrears have reached more than 100 yuan. But Quan really doesn't know, why does the emperor just look at it like this and don't deal with it? ”

What's even more ridiculous is that the people of the entire Zhongling County, whether they marry wives or daughters, the bride has to be carried to their house for three days. If you don't send it, the whole family will be caught in the palace water prison. Life is hard, survive seven days, relatives can spend money to redeem it. The life is not so hard, and there are not a few people whose families die in the water prison. ”

"The most beautiful of those brides, he, the prince of the county, laughed directly. Those who were average-looking, assigned to his butlers, and the like, were carried back by the original owner after three days. But as for those who are ugly, they shall give themselves three days to their own slaves. Women with a strong concept of chastity, forced drowning and hanging abound. ”

"This county king is angry and resentful, and there is a popular practice in the local area, which is to drop the head. The newlyweds' first child was born and fell to death, or drowned in the toilet. Kind-hearted people will give it away directly or send it to the temple. The common people themselves are already very poor, who is willing to support a child for others? ”

"In the thirteenth year of Mingde, that is, the year before last, because this king of Yuzhang County was really angry. Originally, according to the emperor's intentions, he seized the title, raided the house, and was confined, but this prince of Yuzhang County didn't know how to do it. In the end, under the insistence of the prince, he was only fined 200,000 yuan. After paying 200,000 yuan, the matter was finally settled. ”

Looking at the so-called of these clans, Quan finally knew why there were people in the world who applauded the clan, those who clapped their hands and praised them, and those who made articles and sang praises, but there was no one who shouted for the clan. This King of Yuzhang is the same as his King of Yu Laozi, who was killed by the King of Huaiyang, and he is even a bastard. ”

After listening to Jia Quan's statement to the king of Yuzhang County, who was more bastard than the king of Yuancheng County, Huang Qiong couldn't help but shake his head and said angrily: "Ridiculous, ridiculous. It's just that his words are extremely absurd, I don't know if he is talking about the absurdity of the prince who handled this matter, or the absurdity of the prince of Yuzhang County who has arrived at home, or the absurdity of the emperor who handled this matter like this.

Looking at Huang Qiong, whose face was slightly red, Jia Quan could only smile helplessly and said, "Lord Wang, now this matter is getting more and more complicated. Judging from these files, they were all collected by the Nanbei Zhenfu Division over the years, which shows that the emperor is clear about what these people have done. ”

"Look at this dossier about the king of Yuzhang County, as well as the comments of the emperor and the crown prince. In this dossier, the emperor only severely reprimanded the Yuzhang prefect who failed to play a supervisory role, and removed the Tongzhi and Tongju of the Yuzhang Mansion, who was also in charge of the affairs of the clan, as well as the difference between the magistrate of Zhongling County, but the prince of Yuzhang County acquiesced in the treatment of the prince. ”

"The emperor has not dealt with it until now, and the reason for this is a bit interesting, but it is not just the blind pursuit of stability that you said before. This is not just seeking stability, it can even be said to be conniving. It's just that the emperor can't guess what he thinks about it. Is it because of the crown prince? ”

Jia Quan's question, Huang Qiong also shook her head helplessly: "Sir's words, what this king can answer is maybe two words." The rest, this king can't guess for a while. The power of heaven is unpredictable, now let's do what we do. As for the emperor, the king will find a way to advise. ”

"At least compared to the Yuancheng County King, this Yuzhang County King can no longer be indulgent. If you continue to connive, I am afraid that Jiangnan West Road will have to change the people. The Jiangnan North and South Roads around Jiangnan West Road, and the two Zhejiang East and West Roads are all important places for the imperial court. If Jiangnan is in chaos, the income of the imperial court may not be able to help. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong walked to the bookcase, sat down and thought for a while, but the brush in his hand never fell. After thinking about it, he put the pen on the inkstone again and said: "This letter is easy to write, but it can't get around a person." Once this letter is put up, I am afraid it will mean that the king and that person have torn their faces semi-publicly. ”

"Or is my husband right, this errand is really a job to test the school's craft. It's really hard to bear to see what these cousins are doing. But at present, what kind of attitude the emperor has towards these clans, this king is not sure. Now the king feels that this errand is to roast this king on the fire. ”

"It's baked, it's bad, it's not a good thing. What's more, there is also the first, or even more than one live camel jumping around, stirring up trouble inside. Especially when it comes to that person, it is even more difficult to determine the grasp of this scale. It is not difficult to cure the crime of this king of Yuzhang County, but the question is to cure his crime, where was that person punished three years ago? ”

"At this time, the emperor definitely doesn't want to see a piece of music involving that person. Even if it goes up, it is estimated that the stone will sink into the sea and not be released, which is the best result. If someone with a heart knows about it, and there is a stirring in the middle, the dispute between this king and that person will be made public. ”
