Chapter 196: Madness
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Including the young men who were poking at each other and throwing stones outside, everyone looked at him in disbelief, like a group of statues frozen in the air.
Yang Xin turned his head to look at Gao Panlong, who was also petrified.
Then he smiled brightly, and then turned back to look at the dense faces in front of him......
"Don't you understand?
Then I'll repeat it again.
First of all, Ye Maocai colluded with the Japanese Kou, assassinated Qincha, and the crime of rebellion and treason has been verified, and he himself has pleaded guilty to the law, if it is verified after interrogation, Gao Panlong also participated in and masterminded the case, then according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the Gao family will be raided and connected with the nine clans.
As far as I know, their Gao family is a lending.
Then the loans granted by the Gao family will also be returned to the emperor, and all those borrowers only need to return the principal to the emperor, whether it is their own interest or the interest on the rolling interest, they will all be exempted, and you no longer need to pay.
As for the Gao family's property, it was also returned to the emperor.
But the tenants who originally cultivated these lands can also continue to farm, but as the emperor's Zhuangzi no longer needs to pay any taxes, only need to pay rent to the emperor, and this rent according to the original rent will be reduced to a maximum of no more than 40%, even if you need to pay 70%, you only need to pay 40%, and any other taxes do not need to be paid, whoever wants you to pay you can directly complain to the emperor, and this kind of land can sign a contract, you sign a contract with the emperor......"
He shouted as he held up his trumpet.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he doesn't have such power!"
Gao Panlong shouted anxiously behind him.
"I have!"
Yang Xin said.
Then he took the decree out of his bosom.
"The Holy Decree is here, and it is very clear that I can act cheaply, and if I feel fit, then I can make decisions, and Your Majesty has allowed me to make decisions on his behalf.
As for the slaves and maids, they were all released as good men.
As for their employees, they remain the same, but the employer becomes the emperor.
Moreover, in the territory of Changzhou Prefecture, if there are such cases in the future, all of them will be dealt with in this case, that is to say, if there are those who dare to plot rebellion and rebellion, their family property will be confiscated, the factory will be returned to the emperor, and all the hired workers will continue to be what they should do, but I can make a decision on behalf of the emperor, and your wages will increase by 20%. The usury IOU was returned to the emperor, and the borrower only needed to repay the principal, and the land was returned to the emperor, exempt from tax and reduced the land rent to a maximum of 40%, and the slaves and maids were all released as beloved.
So.
What you need to do most at this moment is not to see which other gentry and master around you seem to be involved in this reverse case? ”
Yang Xin said sinisterly.
Since these guys are playing so big, then he will play big with these people, and if they dare to play the city and shout and fight, then he will dare to set fire to it, and dare to play the vast sea of people's war with him? They don't know what the real people's war is, and if they dare to come out and pretend to be forced to buy a few taels of silver, then he will let these guys see who can buy more.
He didn't have to give anything anyway.
As for whether the final apocalypse is an acknowledgement......
Apocalypse is stupid.
Don't recognize such a good thing?
The factories and land controlled by these gentry are good if the annual income can give him roots, but in this way, it can directly become his money bag, and the apocalypse will definitely push the boat to admit the account, but the ministers will definitely be crazy to stop it, but in the end, whether it is cashed out or not, at least Yang Xin himself is worthy of his heart. Besides, he didn't really want to be so ruthless in the first place, he was forced out by these guys, so he didn't need to think about anything else, just set them on fire.
"Don't listen to him, what he says doesn't count, the emperor will not recognize it, and the court will not recognize it, don't be deceived by him, I can still lie to you in our township!"
An old squire on the boat said tremblingly.
"Yes, he said it doesn't count!"
"Folks, don't listen to his demagoguery!"
……
The gentry shouted in horror.
Crazy!
They really didn't expect this guy to come up with such a poisonous plan.
If this really bewitches these young people, it will be a disaster, a catastrophe, this dog thing is completely demonic, how dare he do this? This set of things really has to be implemented, it is not a question of who has the final say in the battle with the emperor for the court, it is the destruction of the entire Changzhou gentry, no matter what, it must be resisted, and his demon wind must be suppressed.
Otherwise......
What did he mean by that last sentence?
This is to encourage the poor ghosts to go to the snitches, to encourage them to frame the gentry.
As long as it is confirmed that it is indeed a reverse case, then they can get these, and then borrow usury to sue the lender, the tenant to sue the landlord, the slave and the maid to sue the master, and Yang Xin and the faint gentleman behind him will definitely come to raid the house happily, and then collect a windfall. It is no longer possible for the gentry to engage in a civil rebellion, because the basis of the popular rebellion is these people who are controlled by them, but in this way, these people will not only no longer be controlled by them, but will become their enemies.
The gentry became the public enemies of the people.
How poisonous the intentions are!
It is said that some gentry have begun to regret provoking this madman.
It's a mad dog.
However, no matter how hard the gentry tried, the young men began to hesitate, and it was clear that they were not fools, and although no one spoke, they exchanged information with each other's eyes.
"Believe it or not, the Divine Decree is ......"
Yang Xin said.
Suddenly, flames erupted from the opposite window.
Yang Xin dodged as fast as he could, and the bullet swept past him rapidly, hitting the body of the soldier behind him at once.
"Ah, I'm scared, I want to kill someone!"
He held up the decree and said.
At the same time, all the crossbowmen among the soldiers raised their crossbows.
"The people in the opposite house immediately went down, you have been involved in the treason of the blatant murder of the officers and soldiers, if you don't leave, you will die in vain."
Yang Xin shouted.
The slingshots on the houses disappeared in an instant.
They knew very well that as soon as they fired their guns, the nature of the guns changed, and the Bandits were really dead in vain if they shot them.
Almost at the same time, bullets shot out from the other two windows, but at that moment, Yang Xin rose into the air, and the bullets swept nearly a foot under his feet, and then the crossbow arrows of all the crossbowmen shot out, and nearly two hundred crossbow arrows drilled into the three windows in a blink of an eye. As soon as the gunner who fired first opened fire changed his gun and raised it out, he was hit by a dozen crossbow arrows at once, and immediately disappeared from people's sight, and the next moment all the crossbowmen loaded their arrows as fast as they could, and two hundred crossbows were aimed vigilantly around.
"Do you still want to stop it?"
Yang looked at the young men on the opposite side and said.
The latter looked at each other, and the squires were still shouting desperately.
Gao Panlong looked solemn in the back, even with a hint of panic.
"Why not give it a try?
Why don't you let me take Gao Panlong and see if I keep my promise?
Even if you really don't believe it, you have to give me a chance to prove it to you, if I can't take Gao Panlong away, you will never have such a chance, only if I take Gao Panlong, and then interrogate and convict him, you will have a chance to get this. Which of you has borrowed from their usury, and who is his tenant, and who is his slave? Do you want to repay only the principal, do you want to rent 40% or even 30%, do you want to get rid of your slavery?
The opportunity is here.
Why don't you go for it?
You don't need to do anything, just get out of here and wait. ”
Yang Xin was like a demagogic little demon, constantly tempting those young men, and he was walking forward as he spoke, and the spear forest of those soldiers was also moving forward slowly, and those young men couldn't help but retreat a little bit after all, despite the green worms and squires around them desperately trying to stop them......
It's all their dreams.
Which one is pressed down by Liluli and doesn't want to get rid of this heavy mountain?
Which tenant who pays six or seven percent of the rent doesn't want to reduce the rent?
What slave doesn't desire to be free?
What is a few taels of silver? Buying rice is a family to eat for two months, and it may not necessarily be cashed, in fact, it may be very large if it is not cashed, even if it is estimated that it is only a small part, if you want to say that all the tens of thousands of young people who participated in it are cashed, it is simply impossible, after all, the villagers and folks, the reputation of these old men is actually known to everyone.
But what about what Yang Xin promised?
Happiness for generations!
Of course, there is a good chance that he will be just as coaxing.
After all, such a good official and such a good emperor are still too unrealistic.
In fact, the possibility of him cashing in is half a pound and eight taels with the gentry, and the common people know not only the morality of the gentry in their own township, but also the discipline of the officials.
But what if it's true?
What if he would actually fulfill his promise?
"Why not give it a try? Why don't you give it a try?
I am here with a pledge, I swear to God Haotian that I will fulfill my promise, I know that we have never known each other, and it is difficult for you to really believe in me, but why don't you try? Aren't those worth your try? At most, they will give you a few taels of silver, and the possibility of not admitting it afterwards is actually greater than mine, and what I am promising is a good life for you and your children and grandchildren?
Isn't that worth a try? ”
Yang Xin said in his demagogic tone as he walked.
And the soldiers in front of him continued to hold their spears forward, and all the crossbowmen on both sides of him and behind him guarded the surroundings, just like soldiers in street battles, in fact, there were still gunners hidden around, but as long as these people showed their heads, they were covered by crossbow arrows, and Yang Huan and other brocade guards behind them were holding Gao Panlong, following at the core of this defensive circle.
The gentry green worm continued to urge.
But at this time, there was no one moving forward, no matter how they coaxed, persecuted, or even threatened, no one really stopped them forward, and even some small boats on the river had quietly left, disappearing into the waterways, and at the same time spreading Yang Xin's words.
The young men retreated step by step, and soon they retreated onto an arched bridge.
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Xin suddenly roared.
All the young men on the bridge turned around and jumped into the river......
