Chapter 553
Sun Yan heard Jia Ke ask Zhan and said: "Back to the lord's words, the report sent by Jia Yu Village, the prefect of Jinling, is very clearly recorded. The Zhen family has a total of more than 300 million mu of land, and there are many donations, and this part also has one or two million mu. β
After Jia Ke heard this, his face sank. It seems that this Zhen family is also a good means, and it doesn't take a hundred years to have so much property.
"By my order, all these fields will be taken into public ownership, and no one shall sell them again, and the prefect of Jinling will be ordered to lease these fields to peasants who have little land and no land to cultivate."
Jia Ke's idea was also learned from the modern Taizu.
Jia Ke did not have the courage and courage of Taizu, and immediately overthrew the landlord class, and only through such a slow redemption policy could he give the peasants and the lower classes a way to live and temporarily alleviate the social contradictions.
After Fan Kang listened, he kept nodding his head below, if Jia Ke implemented this policy, then the social contradictions would become lighter and lighter, and he would be able to continue the country for another one or two hundred years.
Jia Ke saw that the people below all nodded, so he continued: "There is also this year's spring and autumn taxes, you must not make any mistakes." Last year, our emperor gave us a problem, and this year you don't have to give me any more problems. β
As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, the people below couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that after Jia Ke imprisoned the emperor, when he was counting the inner treasury, he found a piece of silver printed with the word Hubu.
This year, the truth of the tax silver falling into the water was revealed, which boat overturned and all the silver fell into the canal, which was clearly a ploy of the emperor to send all the silver to his inner treasury.
Sun Yan was quite happy to see Jia Ke now, and then asked a more difficult question.
"My lord, what should be done with the fields that have been sacrificed, will they be returned to the owner, or will they be confiscated entirely?"
Jia Ke was a little silent after hearing this, he walked a few steps back and forth in the lobby, and he was a little undecided.
"Fan Kang, what do you think about this matter?"
Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's inquiry and pondered for a while, "My lord, the people who can get in touch with the Zhen family and can dedicate themselves to their family are not ordinary ordinary people, they must all be people with doors and roads, they are all landlords in the countryside, if they are offended, with their ability in the countryside, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble to the imperial court, so it is better to let them go this time." β
After Jia Ke listened, he was a little angry, but after thinking about it, what he wanted now was to be stable and excessive, not to let the world have any turmoil, and now was not the time to fight against these gentry.
And Jia Ke also has an idea, that is, he himself is also a member of the landlord class, and there is no need to push the entire landlord class to his opposite.
So Jia Ke turned around and said to Sun Yan: "Let them take out the previous land deed, and if they have it, they will return it in full, and if not, they will be nationalized." β
Jia Ke suddenly paused after saying this, and then said: "Let them make up the tax for me for five years, if they can't pay it, then there is no need to give them the land again." β
Sun Yan agreed below, and this matter was over.
Then there was nothing to do, so everyone dispersed and went their separate ways.
Jia Ke was relatively relaxed, he returned to the back hall of the Prime Minister's Yamen and began to review the folds.
These folds all have opinions reviewed by the Military Aircraft Department, and Jia Ke directly agreed as long as he didn't see any major problems. If Jia Ke sees any problems, he will reject them directly, or write an opinion for them to redraft.
Jia Ke felt a little tired when it was almost evening, and went back to rest after work.
Besides, with Jia Ke's idea, the affairs of Jiangnan were dealt with very quickly, that is, all the land of the Zhen family was nationalized, and a large part of the donated land was returned to the original owners, which made these landlords breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time there were no complaints about the disposal of the imperial court this time, and even began to praise Jia Ke in many places. Although it was a sum of money, it made them feel a little distressed, but after all, the foundation was preserved.
And those people in the Zhen family, among whom almost all the people in charge of their family were beheaded, and all the remaining men in the side branches were sent to Yunnan, and some female dependents were also sold.
Jia Yucun took advantage of this opportunity to bring several beautiful young ladies of the Zhen family into the room. Even Tian Ye accepted a beautiful girl.
After this was over, Tian Ye returned to Beijing to hand over the decree, but when he came back, he was already a person, and when he went, the emperor sat on the Jinluan Palace, although it was said that the power was suppressed, but it was still the supreme of the world, and now it was just a puppet, at the mercy of Jia Ke.
And Jia Ke didn't have any trouble for Tian Ye, he had already found out through the secret guard that the Zhen family's favor to Tian Ye, this time Tian Ye could be regarded as repaying the favor, and from then on, he could do things for himself with peace of mind, so he forgave him and let him continue to walk in the military aircraft.
Time flies quickly, and a few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the court's meeting is in front of you.
And so far, Jia Ke has not decided on the main exam, which makes many courtiers anxious.
You must know that the main examination of the examination is not an ordinary position, as long as it is an imperial examination, you can have one or two hundred more protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, which can be regarded as a great expansion of strength, so the main examination of each examination is the key to the competition of various important members.
In fact, it's not that Jia Ke doesn't want to make a decision so quickly, it's really that Jia Ke can't make up his mind for a while.
To say that according to common sense, the main examiner of this examination must be Fan Kang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
But Fan Kang is not from a serious imperial examination background, and if he serves as the chief examiner of the examination, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the world's scholars.
Then the next should be Sun Yan, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, but after all, he is Qin Keqing's father, Prince Yizhong's leftover, and he is not completely at ease with their side until now, how can he let him take the position of chief examiner to expand his power?
Next is Meng Ming, the head of the Hanlin Academy, the Minister of Military Aircraft, but this person has disobeyed Jia Ke in the last few times, if it weren't for his old age and the fact that he had some credit for himself before, he would have been disposed of a long time ago, where can he give him such a burden now?
In the end, Jia Ke thought about it, but he still felt that it was more comfortable to let his people serve as the main examiners.
So every two days, the Prime Minister's Yamen spread the news that the main examiner of the examination this time was Zhang Chaoxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
To say that Jia Ke's most reassuring person is still Fan Kang, but this Zhang Chaoxin is very good at things, during this time he kept running to Rongguo Mansion, and won Jia Zheng's favor, Jia Zheng mentioned this matter several times in front of Jia Ke, Jia Ke seems that Zhang Chaoxin is also his own person, since Jia Zheng recommended him, let him be the chief examiner.
And this time the deputy chief examiner of the examination, Jia Ke already has a candidate, that is his enlightened teacher Li Wenbin, although this Mr. Li is a Jinshi, but because he is too square, he does not get along well with his colleagues, and now he is still a six-grade petty official in the Ministry of Rites.
When Jia Ke came back at the beginning, he wanted to promote this teacher many times, but he was rejected by his words.
And after Jia Ke imprisoned the emperor, this teacher did not refuse Jia Ke's promotion again, this time Jia Ke appointed him as the deputy chief examiner of the examination, and he readily agreed.
And Jia Ke has often talked with this Mr. Li because of this matter, who knows that Mr. Li said the following to him.
"When you just became the foreman of the military aircraft, if you promoted me, the people of the world would say that you appointed a private person, and they would also say that I was flattering and immoral, and besides, at that time, you had such an unhappy quarrel with the emperor, if I took refuge in you, I would be infamy."
"But now it's different, the world's major events have been decided, and I'm now going out of the mountain to serve you, which is to go to the Ming Lord to settle the world."
Jia Ke listened to his words at the time, his teeth felt sore, to say that others thought that this Mr. Li was a square person, but Jia Ke and Mr. Li got along for a while, and knew that this Mr. Li was square on the surface and smooth on the inside, and it was nonsense to say that he was loyal to the monarch and the country.
I'm afraid this is a while ago his own situation is not good, he can't judge who wins and who loses, so he doesn't dare to bet, now that his overall situation has been determined, there is no danger, he just jumped out, as his own teacher to contribute to himself, it can be regarded as a shortcut.
This matter has been announced, and Zhang Chaoxin's mansion is surrounded by people from all walks of life.
All kinds of gifts emerged in an endless stream, which made Zhang Chaoxin very annoying, so he closed the door and thanked the guests.
To say that Zhang Chaoxin didn't want to accept gifts, but this was the first time he served as the chief examiner, and Jia Ke had just been in power and was watching closely, so he didn't dare to have any negligence in this matter.
Therefore, this time, Zhang Chaoxin can be regarded as the most incorruptible in the previous exams, and he didn't even collect a penny.
And Li Wenbin here, no one came to give gifts, because these people have inquired clearly, this Li Wenbin is a moral gentleman, you may be able to pass the exam if you don't give gifts, if you give him a gift, he will definitely degrade you.
I don't know how this matter spread to the outside world, which made many scholars happy, and many people were praising Zhang Chaoxin's morality and Li Wenbin's integrity, and they all thought that this time they could show their strength. It also made Jia Ke's reputation in Shilin increase a little, no matter what, he can choose two such officials as the main examiner, which shows that he is still inclined to those poor scholars.
Five or six days before the examination, Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin had to visit Jia Ke.
It turned out that every exam was asked by the emperor, but this year the emperor has been imprisoned in the palace by Jia Ke, and there is no one who asks the question, so Zhang Chaoxin can only come to Jia Ke.
After seeing Jia Ke in the study, Zhang Chaoxin told Jia Ke about the cause and effect, which stumped Jia Ke.
And Li Wenbin stood aside and looked at Jia Ke and just wanted to laugh, if someone else didn't know Jia Ke, because he had also read some books, it was okay to say a topic, but Li Wenbin knew that this Jia Ke was okay to read before, but I don't know why it became more and more difficult later.
Jia Ke looked up and saw Li Wenbin with a smile on his face, and knew what he meant.
"Mr. Li, you are my teacher, just make a question for me." Jia Ke is throwing the pot.
Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly refused: "How can there be this reason, there is a reason for the Prime Minister to be here, and there is also the chief examiner Lord Zhang, how can there be a reason for me to ask the question?" β
After hearing this, Zhang Chaoxin touched his beard and felt a little unyielding, after all, he was also born as a Jinshi, and his qualifications were much stronger than Li Wenbin.
