Chapter 212: The Awakening of the People

After blasting a prisoner into scum with a cannon, Yang Xin immediately arrested a man in An's family's room on the grounds of being an accomplice against the party, and personally concocted his confession that night, and then Jinyiwei quickly sealed the door of An's house.

Excludes Anxi Van

Because he has been succeeded to his uncle, and Changfang is currently his nephew, although according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the same as the rebellion and rebellion will implicate the uncle, but the problem is that after the succession to his uncle, An Xifan has changed from a personal uncle to a cousin, and the cousin is not implicated......

Of course, it's just that Yang Xin is too lazy to catch him.

"Geldings, you geldings, the old man and you don't share the sky!"

An Hee-fan yelled in front of the Military Management Council.

This is obviously humiliating him!

Although he was estranged from Changfang because of the grievances of a wealthy family, after all, it was his nephews and nephews, he was the de facto head of the An family, and now he had to watch Yang Xin bully his relatives, and then destroy everything his grandfather had accumulated, and deliberately did not arrest him to make him an audience.

With his temper, how could he still swallow this breath.

The two sons beside him knelt in fear, clearly not supporting their father's move, while the spears of the Dangkou army in front of them crossed to block An Hee-fan who tried to rush through the gate. The latter grabbed these spears with both hands like this, roaring very unfiguratively without the image of a great Confucian, and a bunch of idlers watched behind him, and several disciples also stood silently in the crowd.

After Yang Xin once again mutilated the gentry, the green worms obviously reined in.

Use a cannon to blast people into scum!

In the face of such a vicious criminal, everyone should silently condemn it in their hearts.

Don't mess with him anymore.

The two tenants next to him lowered their heads and hurried around.

An Xifan saw them at once, presumably knowing them, and was about to go over and grab them without hesitation, but then more spears crossed in front of him, and the two looked at him with some embarrassment......

"If you want to fall into the well, why should I settle down and wait?"

He roared like Ma Jingtao.

"The second master, the eldest master's family receives a maximum of seventy percent of the rent, and the small family of more than a dozen people points to the dozens of acres of land for a living, sweating all year round, and in the end it is not all given to the An family, the small one has a rare time to eat a few times of dry food, and the small one also wants to live an open and full life!"

A tenant said.

"Where is your courtesy, righteousness, and shame?"

Anhee-fan continued to growl.

"Second master, charge us seventy percent of the rent, so where is your courtesy, righteousness and shame?"

Another tenant bravely fought back.

Then he pushed his companion in front of him, and the two of them left An Xifan and hurried to report the Anjiatian property that had just been confiscated.

An Xifan looked at their backs in amazement.

"Father, let's go back!"

His second son, An Guangyu, was trembling a little with anger when he saw him, and quickly got up to support him.

Then I saw An Xifan's gaze turn to the top of his head, a little raindrop fell in the gloomy sky, An Xifan's body twitched, and suddenly opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of blood at the sky......

"This blood is spurting, it's spectacular!"

Behind an open-air desk in the front door, Yang Xin looked at this scene and exclaimed.

Of course, it's none of his business.

In the cries of An Xifan's two sons, Yang Yanshi continued to receive those tenants who had declared.

In fact, he has the records of the county government in his hands, and all the fields and properties are theoretically recorded in the county government, and the official deed of any land transaction has a deed end, that is, a stub, which is kept in the yamen, but because the fame is exempt from taxes, a large amount of land is concealed. It is true that there are not many meritorious and famous people who are exempt from taxes, and the total number of officials and scholars in the whole country is not too much in theory, but the problem is that this is only a theoretical number, because with this privilege, all they need is to collude with each other to conceal their property.

It is true that there is not much allowance for a lifter.

But he has raised people, which means that he may become an official at any time, and even go to the hometown of the county to be an official.

It's not that you have to be a jinshi.

The Ming Dynasty only produced more than 20,000 jinshi in more than 200 years, and there were more than 1,000 counties in the country, and it was impossible to focus on jinshi, not to mention that there were other yamen at all levels. The magistrate must also rely on this privilege to make a fortune in his hometown, everyone has to rely on tax exemption to hide the land, and it is not good for anyone to poke it open, so just hide it from each other, no matter how much land there is, it is actually within the tax exemption amount on the official records.

This is a common phenomenon.

Everywhere, all officials and gentry were there.

Even those who don't have fame are the same, because they can still hang the land in someone else's name.

Especially the fiefdoms of those vassal kings.

The fief of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty did not mean that it belonged directly to the vassal king, but that the taxes of this land belonged to him, and he did not have the right to collect it himself, but the magistrate collected it on his behalf and gave it to him, and in the end, it was actually the province where his fief was located that fixed a number for him every year. For example, King Fu has a fief of millions of acres, but in fact, the production of these lands has nothing to do with his Mao, he goes to the magistrate every year to receive tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is said that the total is not more than 50,000, and this is still shared by the three provinces, of which Huguang only gives him a few thousand taels every year.

It's still very reluctant.

Often fight over this share.

Therefore, the tax on the land of the feudal king was still determined by the local officials.

Then the gentry who has the means can hang the land on his fiefdom through connections.

Because the tax of the vassal kings is a general fixed number, unless they deliberately check the amount of their land, it is simply a pot that can be filled with casually.

But this is not a hidden field, but a trick.

The entire Ming gentry can be said to have displayed their strengths, spared no effort to evade taxes, and gradually hollowed out the empire.

This kind of thing is rarely dared to be investigated, even if it is checked, it is just to pick up a few soft persimmons and pinch them, and obtain some political achievements to facilitate promotion, such situations are often there, even if Zhang Juzheng's Qingzhang is actually picking up some soft persimmons and pinching. Zhang Juzheng Qingzhang still has to rely on civil officials, it is said that the most serious thing in Yintian is actually the Chu Party, and Huguang This problem is the most serious, think about it, you will know what he will do when he sends Qingzhang, it is nothing more than picking a few gentry with few connections to swatt flies.

Anyway, as long as you clear the point.

But no one will move the real powerful big landlords.

Like Haigang Peak, he directly attacked the Xu family, and it can be said that there is no one who has hundreds of thousands of acres at once.

And now Haigang Peak finally has a successor, and it is also a successor with even more ferocious and ruthless means......

"Lord Admiral, something happened again!"

Huang San ran to say again.

Yang Xin finished the registration of a tenant and sent two soldiers to measure it before signaling him to continue.

Yang Xin is to use soldiers to clear the zhang.

The latter doesn't need a ruler, just go up and walk a little, as long as the gap with the tenant newspaper is not too big, and there is no need to be literate or arithmetic, and these people don't even understand the local language.

"Do you remember that there was a tenant named Wang Yi before?"

Huang San said.

"Remember, didn't he say that he rented thirty acres of land from the Ye family? What, what's wrong with that place? ”

Yang Xin said.

"Let's go to measure the brother reported that someone blocked it, and the little one rushed to see it, it was someone from the Hua family in the city, and the people from the Hua family said that the land belonged to their family, and took out the account book where Wang Yi paid them rent every year, and the small one estimated that what they said was true, and Wang Yi lied. Their ten households have a total of 250 acres of polders, and the Hua family has their account books for paying rent, which does not look like a forgery, and it is estimated that their ten households took this opportunity to lie to the Cheng Ye family. ”

Huang San said.

"Does the Hua family have a title deed?"

Yang Xin said.

"No, the little one also asked, the people of the Hua family just prevaricated, and wanted to give the small silver, most of such polders were circled by themselves, they must be from the Hua family, but they definitely didn't report to the official."

Huang San said.

"Find out the Hua family!"

Yang Xin said to the little official next to him.

At this time, Jin Yiwei's review of the Yamen officials was about to end, and most of the officials were back to work, but Liu Zhixian was still under house arrest, in fact, if Yang Xin did not leave, his review would not end.

"If you go back to Yang, that land is indeed the hidden land of the Hua family."

The latter was crisp but answered.

"Go to Salazar, pull the cannon over, and then tell the people of the Hua family, and then continue to make trouble unreasonably, next time I will personally go and talk to them. By the way, warn the Hua family again, don't forget that the Hua Yunyi brothers are still locked up in the prison, be careful that they become the next ones to be raided. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Little obedience!"

Huang San hurriedly said.

The little officer pretended to be pure.

In other words, Yang Yanshi is really ruthless, now those tenants who know that they are cultivating hidden fields will definitely flock to use this excuse to get rid of the original owner, anyway, they are hidden fields, and there is no record in the government, so they can just say that they are the Ye family. Yang Xin said before that the hidden land does not belong to the landlord, this issue is not so simple, at least he himself can not make a decision, because the government has a practice of dealing with this kind of land, that is, to recognize the ownership of the landlord but let them pay taxes.

There is no one who is unofficial.

And Yang Xin's role is not to deal with this problem.

He is only here to deal with the treason, and he has no right to dispose of these properties.

But it's okay to report to the Ye family.

If the original owner wants to resist, he must take out the title deed, and if he can't get it, the tenant will report it himself, as for what account books and the like, that can't replace the title deed. The landlord said that it was theirs, and the tenant said that it was the Ye family, this kind of thing can only be counted if there is nothing in the land deed and the records of the government......

There is no reason with this kind of traitor.

In short, not only the four families of Ye, Gu, Gao, and An, but all the gentry in Wuxi were all affected.

What a real flying disaster!
