Half an hour later.

"Let go of me, you geldings!"

Gu Gao, the nephew of the late founder of Donglin Academy, struggled and roared angrily.

One of the Bandit soldiers gave him a punch very simply.

Gu Gao screamed.

Then he squirted out a mouthful of blood, then hung his head and wailed.

"That's not going to work?"

Yang Huan said disdainfully.

"It's still early for you, you have conclusive evidence, go back to the prison or confess quickly, we still have good things to greet you, I have to say that you sons and brothers are too tender, much worse than Wang Wenyan, I'll tell you how we greeted him."

The executioner, whose hands were stained with the blood of loyal and righteous soldiers, then said.

"Qianhu, I found it!"

A brocade guard excitedly stepped out of it.

Behind him, two whistleblowers followed, and behind him, the Dangkou army dragged four house slaves out, and the latter trembled and his legs went limp.

"You're the one who delivers food to the red-haired man?"

Yang Huan said.

"Master, the little ones are wronged!"

A house slave knelt down and howled.

"Break his leg!"

Yang Huan said.

A soldier of the Bandit Army stepped forward with a big stick and slammed it into his knee with a stick.

The slave immediately let out a heart-rending scream.

"Who else is wronged?"

Yang Huan looked at the remaining three and said.

"Master, the little ones are just acting on orders, it's our lord who asked us to do it, it's the red-haired people that our lord went to pick up, Gu An followed, the little ones just sent them a few meals, and the little ones really don't know anything else!"

A house slave immediately defected.

"Ah, Gu Jiansheng, you can make us look for it so hard!"

Yang Huan looked at Gu Gao and said with a smile.

"Gelding, I hate God, I can't hoe the emperor!"

The latter looked up and said hatefully.

"Ha, you seem to be mistaken, we are here by the will of the Son of Heaven! Closed doors, does anyone know what other industries the Gu family has? In addition, who else is there in the Gu family, this is the crime of rebellion, according to the law, at least the door must be copied and beheaded, hurry up and report it, and the one person who leads the way is two hundred taels! ”

Yang Huan shouted to the onlookers outside.

"I know!"

"I know!"

……

Instantly there was an exuberant shout.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dangkou Army in front of the door had already begun to quickly blockade the periphery of the Gu family, and the next thing waiting for the Gu family was the inventory of all the family property.

Of course, there must have been a large number of disappearances during the inventory.

In fact, Yang Xin was also not sure whether the Apocalypse had the courage to raid the Gao family and the Gu family.

The little emperor is not him after all, he can have no scruples, he can be mad, but the little emperor must have too many scruples, it is impossible to be truly unscrupulous, even nine thousand years old clearly said that it will take a month, then it means that the little emperor may finally give in. Therefore, it is still difficult to say what will happen in the future, so that before the official raid of the house, all the gold, silver and jewelry, and IOUs of these homes will be collected and then realized.

In the end, it doesn't matter whether the house is raided or not, anyway, all the money is already in hand.

Yang Xin had emptied the Qian family before, Yang Huan emptied the Gao family here, and the Gao family included Gao Panlong's brother's family......

Of course, it does not include Yang Xin's own fishing.

That's the number.

What Apocalypse is most concerned about is how much silver Yang Xin can get back for him.

Nothing else matters.

"Silver, silver is the most important thing!"

At this time, Yang Xin was sitting behind a desk, looking at an IOU in front of him.

A merchant kneeling in front of him stared at him.

"Supposedly, the decree hasn't been made yet, so I shouldn't have done it......"

Yang Xin wanted to speak and stopped.

"Yang Yanshi, the small one can donate five hundred taels to serve the country!"

The merchant said sensibly.

"You borrowed 1,000 taels from the Gao family, and now you should pay back 4,000 taels after the profits, so let's do it, Taizu's rule is one book and one profit, and it is definitely not legal for the Gao family to collect 4,000 taels, but you should pay back 2,000 taels, I can call the shots."

Yang Xin said.

Zhu Yuanzhang has clear regulations on usury, that is, one book and one interest, and it is invalid if it is exceeded.

Yang Xin's interest clearance is for the poor, and this product is obviously not a poor person.

"Okay!"

The man hesitated.

In this way, he can still pay back two thousand taels less.

"Take the money, it's yours!"

Yang Xin picked up the IOU and said.

In this way, he added a thousand taels of income to the apocalypse, and also added a thousand taels to his pocket.

"Next!"

Looking at the back of the merchant holding the IOU and leaving contentedly, Yang Yishi shouted with the same satisfaction.

The next one is the tenants.

"Are you a tenant of the Ye family?"

Yang Xin said.

"Back to the master's words, the small one is from the five hometowns including the small one, and the small five families rent one hundred and fifty acres of land from the Ye family, all of which are paddy fields, and the small ones heard that the old man sets the rules and only collects forty percent of the rent, I don't know if it's true?"

The latter said expectantly.

"The best Ueda Sicheng, Nakata Sancheng, Shimoda Ercheng, this is the emperor's grace, Ye Maocai colluded with the Japanese to conspire against the evidence, and I have already pleaded guilty. This official can clearly tell you that according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all those who plot rebellion and conspire will be beheaded, regardless of their subordinates. wives and concubines, children, and families of meritorious servants are slaves. The property was incorporated into the official. Parents, grandchildren, and brothers, regardless of nationality, are all resettled for 2,000 miles.

Therefore, it is not only Ye Maocai's family.

The property of his brother's family was also confiscated, and of course their land was also confiscated, and it was disposed of according to the standards of the official. ”

Yang Xin said.

The tenant immediately kowtowed in gratitude.

"But there is another point, these fields and properties are confiscated and returned to the emperor, and you will also return to the emperor's village, since the emperor only charges you three or four percent of the rent, you also have to keep an eye on the place for the emperor, this official has been stationed in Henglin Dangkou army and Jinyi guard, you will hear and see that there are disloyal to the emperor in the future, this should be reported there in time, and those who report will be rewarded."

Yang Xin said.

The tenant hurriedly kowtowed and agreed.

"But have you thought about it, so that the local gentry will crowd you out."

Yang Xin said.

"Ask the lord to show me a clear way."

The tenant said.

Of course he understands this, but in fact he is under a lot of pressure when he dares to come.

Because the patriarch of his clan has spoken, whoever dares to come will be expelled from the clan directly, which means that the clan will not protect them in the future, and they will definitely be bullied after not being protected by the clan, and they can only gain a foothold in the countryside by relying on the clan, otherwise they will not even be allowed to use a well for drinking water.

But the five of them really can't resist the temptation of renting three or four percent!

"It's very simple, the Jinyi Guards and the Dangkou Army stationed in Henglin will come to guide you in training during the agricultural slack time, and gather the nearby Huangzhuang households."

Yang Xin said.

"A small military household?"

The tenant said with a look of disappointment.

Obviously, military households are not good, who will be a military household these days!

"No, it's not a military household, you are still a citizen, and I won't let you be a soldier, but I will train you, so that you can protect yourself when someone bullies you. After all, the Jinyi Guards and the Dangkou Army stationed in Henglin are still dozens of miles away from you, and it is impossible for them to arrive to help you soon, so you must have the ability to protect yourself until they arrive. And in this way, you need an organization, an organization like an army, someone who can command you to fight with others, and even if you need it, you can also unite with other people in the surrounding Huangzhuang, and one Zhuangzi will help them if there is something else.

Who would dare to mess with you in such a place?

But you are not a military household, and you don't need to pay anything, just buy some weapons yourself.

It can be called a militia.

That's right, that's what it's called.

The militia also has officers at all levels, just like the army, and these officers are selected by you, and in the future, the emperor will give you some new seeds, new fertilizers, and teach you some new farming and weaving methods, and these officers will also teach them. ”

Yang Xin said.

That's it.

Such a system with the Dangkou Army as the core was established.

And this system will be rooted in this land, constantly infiltrating and expanding, and then forcing the gentry system to retreat step by step, as for the method is also very simple, with the exemplary role of these militias, and other tenants who are still under the hands of the landlords need to do, just keep an eye on their landlords, to see if they have committed crimes, as long as there are three crimes of conspiracy, rebellion, rebellion, and rebellion, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is to raid the house.

Then the stronghold's Jinyi Guards and the Dangkou Army went out to arrest people.

As long as it is confirmed, then their tenants will become militia.

They can enjoy the same land rent of three or four percent, and enjoy the new technologies and new crops that will definitely be promoted in the future......

There's no need for sweet potatoes here.

In fact, Xu Guangqi first planted sweet potatoes in Songjiang, but unfortunately no one wanted to plant them, after all, this land was not needed at all, but the problem was that soon there would be a big drought here, and the drought during the Chongzhen period began to sweep all the remaining places except Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have not only been affected, but also the hardest hit areas of drought, of course, the concept of the hard-hit areas here is different from the northwest, if it is not a large-scale mulberry cotton, this drought is not a big deal.

But not right now.

In a normal year, there is a shortage of food, let alone a major drought?

Therefore, Yang Xin also had to solve the problem here, and this solution was to promote guano in the promotion plan in this area, which is the best fertilizer for rice fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The most recent source of guano is Huangwei Yu in the Diaoyu Islands.

The next thing he needs is to go there to mine, and then transport back the Dangkou army system and these militias that are specially sold to him, as long as the grain yield per mu can be greatly increased, then the drought in places like Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not have a real impact at all.

The drought here doesn't mean that there is no rain.

Then a small amount of forced planting of sweet potatoes or something, and it's basically fine.

"It's not a military household, it's not a military household!"

The tenant said with relief.

"You're so afraid of being a soldier?"

Yang Xin said speechlessly.

The tenant smiled awkwardly, does this kind of question still need to be answered?
