Chapter 124: The Roots
That Jing Zhaoyin, now seems to have disappeared, and he also didn't make trouble for himself, and he went to Huang Qiong. Whether it was the East Palace or the Jingzhao Mansion, they were silent and did not make any statement. But Huang Qiong also knew that this was probably the last bit of tranquility before an earth-shattering change.
Huang Qiong knew that she couldn't hide her old man from the emperor who was mad again in the homeless area that day. This Lao Tzu of his own is very strict with himself. The dogs outside the door did not all withdraw because it seemed that the relationship between father and son had eased now.
In this case, can that matter be hidden from the old man? The old man is now either waiting for the right moment, or he is secretly investigating. Once the time comes, it is unlikely that Jing Zhaoyin will go to the prison, after all, the old man does not look at the monk's face, but he also has to look at the Buddha's face.
Even if you don't look at the prince's face, you will look at his Wuchang Hou Laozi's face, and he won't be too heavy. In this matter, the old man will not hurt the old minister's face too much. But it is estimated that this official may not be able to continue, at least in Jing Zhaoyin's position, he has done it.
Jing Zhaoyin's position, although he is the first third-rank official in the Great Qi Dynasty, the key is that the position is too important. In charge of Gyeonggi, although there is no military power, there is any wind and grass in the DPRK and China, and the news is faster than anyone else. The most important thing is that the upper can make friends with the central center, and the lower can connect with the outer princes.
Coupled with the feet of the Son of Heaven and the first good place, the fat can be described as flowing oil. Although there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Yin is mostly angry. But this Jing Zhaoyin is also divided into people, even if an ordinary person is a Jinshi and a person from the first background, he is naturally a popular official.
But if it's for those people who are hard in the background, this Jing Zhaoyin is not an ordinary fat shortage. At least the current Jing Zhaoyin, with the support of the crown prince, does not buy much of the dignitaries in the city. Every inch of land in the inner city is expensive, and there are not many ways to get money. As Jing Zhaoyin, relying on lawsuits to make money, that is the lowest level.
His brothers, it is estimated that they are all like hungry wolves, staring at this position. This is estimated that once the results of the investigation on the old man's side come out, I am afraid that even if the prince exerts all his strength and wants to keep this person, his brothers will not let him get his wish.
If it was that Jing Zhaoyin, he was really removed from his post. Even if he is not assigned to that corner, it is estimated that the prince whose money bag is cut off will regard him as a mortal enemy. Although he didn't want to offend the prince too thoroughly at this time, he had no way out at the moment.
I'm afraid the old man is also aware of this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have replaced most of the guards after he accompanied him around the outcastic area, and he didn't come back for a long time. The guards sent by the prince, except for a few people left behind by himself, were all sent back to the East Palace.
Huang Qiong, who was lying in the bathtub, closed her eyes and threw a handful of water on her head, thinking of the abilities of her guards, she still sighed slightly in her heart. The prince knew that no matter how he came, he was not afraid. What I'm most worried about now is that this guy is doing the trick. Are these guards sent by the old man really capable of protecting themselves?
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but have a big question mark in her heart. What he is looking forward to most now is the early return of Chen Yao, who has been gone for almost two months. Even if you only bring back a few people, you can at least relieve the urgent need in your own hands, and no one can use it.
When she opened her eyes and looked at Tingting and the other three daughters who were waiting for her to bathe and only wore a light veil on her body, Huang Qiong shook her head helplessly in her heart: "How did you become like this?" My mother once said that she was not a woman's lover at all because she had peach blossoms on her face. I was a little unimpressed, but now I see that I really responded to what my mother said. ”
Looking at the three bewitching beauties around her, Huang Qiong can only smile bitterly now. Now some of his own arrangements for Lehi are basically at least not rejected. Although he always felt sorry in his heart, because he was running around alone outside Chen Yao, he never remembered to correct it.
Although he repeatedly told himself that he was a bone scraper and that he couldn't always be so ridiculous, but at this time, he still couldn't restrain himself. Although this is in the heavenly home, it is not a thing at all. His brothers, whether they have a wife or not, it is estimated that there are a lot of women who serve around them.
King Yong's absurdity, in the eyes of the emperor, is just this guy, not only a large group of messy women in the family, but even wild food is just eaten when the interest comes up. But having said that, Huang Qiong, who has been a human for two lives, knows the absurdity of what she does.
Just when Huang Qiong was thinking nonsense, Tingting's voice came from her ears: "Lord Wang, the water is cold, are you adding some hot water?" Or are the slaves and maidservants serving you to rest? Since Huang Qiong accompanied her to visit her once, this woman seems to have become the head of the three daughters, and she basically spoke.
Hearing this, Huang Qiong waved her hand and stood up. As soon as they dried their bodies, the three girls were entangled like snakes, and it was another night of absurdity. It's just that after this night's absurdity, although she was a little tired, Huang Qiong felt much better. For the things that the old man explained, he already had a certain idea, and he also came up with the corresponding rules.
Just seeing Huang Qiong's thoughts, Jia Quan couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "Lord Wang, do you know what awaits you as soon as this article Chen goes up?" Even if the emperor does not send it, this news may not really be hidden. Once the word spreads, you will become the mortal enemy of the world's clans. ”
"Also, do you have a standard in mind for changing Yongye Tian to the Yulu system, and the imperial court will redeem the land under the names of each clan, regardless of whether you are for Yongye Tian or not? First of all, the Yongye field was recovered and changed to the Yulu system. How is this money decided? It's according to the standards before the prince of the prince became a vassal, do you think you can agree to these clans? ”
"Before the prince became a vassal, the number of mouths in the family was not large, and the wealth was enough to ensure their prosperity and wealth. But those foreign clans, the family has already multiplied, and according to the current situation has not been given to the prince of the domain, it is impossible for them to agree at all. Especially in the current clan, the largest number of county kings or county-level clans, those Yulu can't meet their needs at all. ”
"According to the current order of the imperial court, the annual salary of the prince who has not yet become a vassal is 5,000 yuan and 5,000 stone grain, which at least seems to be a lot for a child who has not yet opened a mansion. Of course, this is only customized, in fact, before the prince was promoted, because he lived in the palace, he actually only took 100 yuan of pocket money every month. ”
"The rest of the money was allocated at one time after Prince Jin Feng left the palace and went to the palace, together with the emperor's money allocated from the inner treasury and the prince's first year. And for those foreign vassal kings who have been in the domain for many years and have dragged a lot of families with them, this money may not be enough for them to spend. ”
"Unless they really want to tighten their belts, but now it's a day of drinking. Otherwise, the 5,000 guan money plus 5,000 Shilu rice would not be enough for them at all. You've read all of these files, have you ever wondered how long these dossiers will be enough for them to spend according to the current luxurious life of these clans? I'm afraid that a year's worth of money won't last even two months. ”
"This does not take into account whether the imperial court can afford the income of these clans. In the Huaiyang Rebellion that year, although the number of clans, especially the number of clans with high titles, was less than four or five out of ten of the previous ones. However, even if colleagues were later sealed, as well as those who were sealed in the past two years, there are now 17 people at the county king level, and as many as 56 people at the county public level. ”
"At present, the annual expenditure of the imperial court is huge, but the main income of the land is decreasing every year, and it has almost reached the point where it cannot make ends meet. At present, the officials of the imperial court, except for the military attache and the army, have no arrears of salaries, and can guarantee full salaries. The salaries of civil officials are basically 7% off. Coupled with such a large number of clans, it is difficult for the imperial court to afford it. ”
"And for this redemption of the land occupied by the clan, how much silver does the court have to come up with to meet the needs? Let's not talk about whether the imperial court can come up with such a large sum of money, but it can take it out. But how to set this standard? Is it the same for an acre of land in the northwest that can only make an average of three stones of grain a year, and one acre of land in the southeast that can make 30 stones of grain? ”
"How to determine the intermediate standard between fertile land and poor land, irrigated land and dry land? How to distinguish between the northwest and the southeast of the rich world, so that those clans can accept it? Besides, this is almost equivalent to re-measuring the number of acres in the world. Who among them can guarantee that those clans will not join forces with local officials to deceive? Report the inferior land as a fertile field? ”
"Also, there are not a few people with two or three hundred thousand acres of land under the name of the clan. According to the calculation of 50 guan per mu of middle land, how much money does the court need for 200,000 mu of land to recover the 200,000 mu of land? At present, the imperial court, which can't even pay the full amount, how can it have such a big financial resource now? ”
"Lord Wang, Quan has been pondering why the emperor suddenly decided to rectify the clan these days, but after thinking about it, he has a certain eyebrow. In addition to the fact that the clan now occupies the land, which has become a big trend, and it has reached the point of anger and resentment, there is also a very critical point, that is, the annual income based on the field is probably getting more and more difficult. ”
"Why the clan is desperately trying to occupy the land, in the final analysis, it is actually one word 'profit'. No matter how much land they occupy, they don't need to pay food, and they don't have to pay a penny. Moreover, no one dared to collect any money from them. The more land they have, the more grain they will receive, and the more grain they will receive, the richer they will be. ”
"Lord Wang, in many cases, even in many places, money may not be money, but food is always the most valuable. Whether it is prosperous or troubled, food is a wealth that will never fall. Although the world is big, who can guarantee that the whole world will be smooth and rainy every year, and there will be no disasters? If the grain is hoarded in the hands, it will be dozens of times the profit when it is turned over in a disaster year, and it will not far exceed the profit? ”
"Quan now wants to rectify the clan, and it is one sentence over and over again, that is, how to find a way to get rid of their huge profits. As long as they occupy the land, there is no interest. No, to be exact, it can't bring such huge profits as it is now, do you think they will still be unscrupulous and unscrupulous to seize the land? ”
"The best solution is to solve the problem at the root. I think we should start from this point. People in the world are bustling, and they are all going for fame and fortune. Without profiteering, naturally they have no interest. So I think we still have to start from this aspect. ”
