In fact, Shandong was already lively when Wang Xijue didn't go.

The imperial court is paying attention to Shandong, and Shandong is also paying attention to the imperial court, after all, this matter is a big matter, and the Shandong gentry are also frightened while confronting the imperial court, and no one knows what the imperial court will do.

Especially the Kong family, this time the Kong family did not give the emperor a son, and the Kong family is also waiting for the emperor's reaction.

The news soon spread to the ground in Shandong, and also to the Confucian family, and the emperor was personally sacrificing to the Confucian saint and sacrificing for seven days in the capital, which was very large. The emperor also went to sacrifice in person, and this news shocked many people.

For the Confucian family, for the Shandong gentry, this was good news.

Everyone lives under Confucius, especially the Confucian family, which is definitely a good opportunity to increase their prestige. But the other news that came with it was not good, it was Kong Shangqian who presided over this sacrifice.

No one knows about the Confucian family, although the Confucian family of Nanzong has always been unpopular, and the sense of existence is low, but they are descendants of Confucius!

Kong Shangqian was carried out, making it clear that the emperor wanted to promote the Southern Sect of the Kong family. As soon as this news came out, the first to catch the blind was the Kong family. The Confucian family is powerful and blessed, not relying on the name of the Confucian saint, but not on the title of the Yan Shenggong.

Scholars all over the world hold and respect the Confucian family, for the sake of not being the name of the Confucian family.

The Northern Sect of the Confucian Family is the Confucian Family, and the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family is also the Confucian Family, all of them are descendants of Confucius, as long as the banner does not fall, it doesn't matter if he is the Southern Sect or the Northern Sect. Readers in the world may have micro-words, but they will never make a fuss because of this.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yijun chose to pick up the Southern Sect of the Kong family, in fact, he wanted to abolish the Kong family.

It's just that scholars all over the world are under the banner of Confucian disciples, and it is also because of this banner that they gather together, and it is impossible for them to allow the imperial court to abolish this banner. Once the Confucian family is abolished, what will happen to the Gang Chang of the monarch and the ministers, the father and the son, and what will happen to the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith?

As an emperor, Zhu Yijun also needs the world's scholars to be loyal to him, and the benefits of Confucianism are still many.

Once Confucianism is abolished, there will be no thought, unless you have a new thought, such as abolishing Confucius in later generations and tearing down the statue of Confucius, it is because we have Marxist-Leninist thought. Zhu Yijun doesn't have this kind of thinking now, once it gets big, that person's heart will be broken.

Judging from the current situation, Zhu Yijun needs Confucianism to maintain his rule.

moved the Northern Sect of the Confucian Family, indicating that Zhu Yijun was only targeting the Northern Sect of the Confucian Family, not the Confucian disciples in the world, and this volume and level were not at all a level. Therefore, when this news came out, not only did it not intensify the contradictions, but it calmed down many people.

Most of these people are Shandong gentry, and the emperor even has to open the Yansheng Mansion, what are they?

Especially when the twists and turns of Feng Kuan's impeachment reached Shandong, the whole Shandong was shaken, if the previous news was to scare the Kong family, then the latter news was completely real, and the gentry did not dare to move even more, and the Kong family was also stupid.

Jinan Mansion, Qin Cha Xingyuan.

Wang Yongji sat on a chair and drank tea, the expression on his face was relaxed, this was the first time he had been so relaxed since he came to Shandong. Glancing at Xing Shangzhi and Pi Gan, Wang Yongji put down the teacup in his hand.

"Are those gentry honest these days?" Wang Yongji looked at Pi Gan and said lightly.

"Lord Hui, all of them are honest!" Pi Gan also smiled and said: "My attitude has softened a lot, although I haven't paid my taxes yet, but my tone has loosened." I believe that in a few days, they will be more honest. ”

Wang Yongji snorted coldly, and the expression on his face became serious: "After a few days? ”

"It's not a few days left!" Wang Yongji said coldly: "Let's start with Jinan Mansion first, and tell the people below that the words of this official will be passed on, and from tomorrow, Jinan Mansion will start to tax silver." ”

"Anyone who resists paying taxes will be punished as resisting the imperial court."

"Find out those who hide in the fields, choose a few who are in the township, and those who are rich and unkind, and give the official a direct and heavy punishment. If the fine cannot be paid within the time limit, the land shall be confiscated directly to the official, and those who resist shall be directly arrested. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yongji turned his head to look at Xing Shangzhi and said, "Please also ask Jinyiwei to cooperate!" ”

Xing Shangzhi touched his big bald head and sneered: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, our Jinyiwei will definitely cooperate, these days I have been idle enough, now I have something to do, just move my muscles." ”

Wang Yongji nodded, and said to Pi Gan with a smile: "Pass on this official order, anyone who takes the initiative to confess the hidden fields can pay a fine of 30%. Tell the people below that if you dare to use dim sum, who dares not to care, this official will never spare it. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials understand!" Pi Gan hurriedly bowed and said.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Qincha Xingyuan issued a notice, and the Jinan government began to collect taxes.

The eastern city of Jinan Prefecture has always been a wealthy area, and a large number of gentry from Jinan Prefecture live here. Among them, the Chai family who lives in Yangliu Hutong is very famous in the local area, and you must know that there are several officials in the Chai family who are now officials outside.

The worst is also the county order, and the biggest is the political envoy, and no one dares to provoke it on the ground in Shandong.

But that afternoon, a scene that everyone didn't expect appeared, the tax officer of the tax department and the people of Jinyiwei came to the Qian family, and there were dozens of people. Everyone was armed with a sword, and some were armed with a crossbow.

For a time, the chickens and dogs in the entire Dongcheng jumped, and countless rich people rose up in fear.

The head of the Chai family is named Chai Hui, and it is said that the ancestors of the Chai family can be traced back to the Chai family in the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be the origin of family learning. In a strictly disciplined Chai family compound, a man was running wildly, and he didn't care if he lost a shoe.

Chai Zhen looked at the housekeeper who rushed in, and his face sank.

As a hometown in his fifties, Chai Hui took the rules very seriously, and when he saw the housekeeper rushing in, his slender eyes instantly narrowed, and it seemed that there was only one slit left.

His lips also sank downward, and his vocal cords scolded: "What a system!" ”

Chai Fu couldn't care about the old man's anger, and hurriedly said: "The old man has an accident, and the people from the Jinyi Wei and the tax department have surrounded our mansion!" Saying that, Chai Fu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gasped heavily, and continued: "There are quite a few people here, all of them carrying knives, and some of them are carrying crossbow arrows. ”

Hearing Chai Fu's words, Chai Fu couldn't sit still anymore, and the rules were left behind.

He stood up from his chair abruptly and said loudly, "What did you say?" Jinyi Wei and the tax department surrounded our house? ”

Although he was frightened in his heart, but after a little slowdown, Chai Bian calmed down, his family is not an ordinary family, not someone who wants to handle it, his son Chai Bian is now a political envoy.

Glaring at Chai Fu, Chai Fu said angrily: "What's the panic, let them in, I want to see what they want to do." ”

In fact, there was no need for the Chai family to invite them, and the people from the Tax Department and Jinyiwei had already walked in from outside.

The leader was a big bald head, wearing a flying fish suit and no hat, after seeing Chai Hui, he sneered and touched his big bald head, and said directly: "You are Chai Hui, the head of the Chai family?" ”

"It's me!" Chai Zhen didn't stand up, and asked directly, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing this scene, the Jinyi guard behind Xing Shangzhi stepped forward directly: "Our family is the master of the Jinyi Guard, and the official is still wise, you old man, seeing that my family dare not kneel, I am impatient." ”

Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy, and when he heard this name, Chai Xuan's pupils shrank.

This name is so famous in Daming that no one knows it, and it's almost the same as stopping children from crying.

Although he was frightened in his heart, Chai Zhen still kept a straight face, but this time he didn't sit down, but stood up and arched his hand at Xing Shangzhi: "It turned out to be Lord Xing, Chai Zhen has seen Lord Xing!" ”

It is impossible to kneel, Chai Zhen is also from a Jinshi, how can he kneel for Xing Shangzhi.

Seeing that the captain behind him was still about to speak, Xing Shangzhi waved his hand and scolded: "There are no rules, there is no place for you to talk here, retreat!" After speaking, he turned back to Chai Zhen and said, "My subordinates don't understand the rules, so the head of the Chai family laughs." ”

What else could Chai Zhen say, and directly changed the topic: "Master Xing, I don't know what happened to my Chai family today?" ”

Xing Shangzhi took a step to the side, let go of the skin behind him, and said with a smile: "This official assists the Tax Department by His Majesty's holy order, and it is the Tax Department who is looking for the head of the Chai family today, and this official is just wearing a brocade guard to protect his safety." ”

Chai Zhen's face changed when he said this, what kind of place are you in the Chai family, a bandit den? Still want to be safe?

But Chai Zhen could only scold these words in his heart, and he couldn't say it in front of Xing Shangzhi.

Pi Gan took a step forward, looked at Chai Zhen and said: "The head of the Chai family, the tax department was ordered to collect taxes, and when I checked the taxes, I found that your Chai family hid four pieces of land, including two pieces in Xicheng, one for 1,500 mu, a high-grade field, and one for 700 mu, a high-grade field. ”

"There are two pieces in the north city, one is 800 acres and the other is 400 acres, both of which are medium fields."

"According to the regulations of the Department of Taxation, a fine of half of the land price is charged for concealed land, and according to the land price of Jinan Prefecture, 821 mu of high-grade land is fined, and a fine of 421 mu is imposed. The total amount of hidden land in the west city of Chaijia is 2,300 mu, and the fine is 92,000 taels of silver. ”

"Zhongtian is forty and twenty-one acres, and each mu is fined twenty taels of silver, and the two pieces of land hidden in the north city of the Chai family totaling 1,200 mu of Zhongtian are fined 24,000 taels of silver, and the Chai family needs to pay a fine of 116,000 taels of silver this time."

After saying this, Pi Gan reached out and closed the booklet, took out a piece of paper with a smile and said to Chai Zhen: "This is a fine notice, please sign and draw on it." ”

Chai Zhen listened to Pi Gan's words, his body shook for a while, his face was pale, his whole person trembled, and he was fined 116,000 taels of silver.

In fact, the price of this land is low, and it is impossible to buy land at such a price, except for the use of tricks.
