Chapter 1393: Liquidation
Xingyang.
On the East Patrol Road, Xingyang Camp.
When the emperor saw Kan Leng's recital, he picked up the two recitals from Jinyiwei and Huangcheng Division, read them for a while, and then put them down.
Kan Ling is still a little impatient and too straightforward. In fact, this matter can be done more patiently and better. ”
Wei Zheng said with a smile, "I think General Kan acted decisively, since Jiangxi is attached, and now thinking about these careful thoughts, naturally it cannot be tolerated and connived, and if you appease them, the more you have to make inches, I am afraid that the situation will be more ugly." It's good to be like this now, cut through the mess quickly, and use the power of thunder to deter these small people, and then you can free up your hands to help the disaster and the people. Jiangxi has been under the hands of the Lin brothers in recent years, but it has been tossed enough, and now there are people everywhere, full of bandits, and poor people have no place to stand, but those powerful military leaders have taken the opportunity to merge on a large scale, and even many Buddhism and Taoism have also taken the opportunity to go to Jiangxi to expand there. ”
If the imperial court does not hurry up to stop this unhealthy trend and reorganize Jiangxi, I am afraid that this good place in the land of fishing and rice will be full of devastation, and it will be cleaned up again, but I don't know how much effort and time it will take.
The emperor also sighed a few times as he sat in his chair.
In the early years, it was the warlords and warlords in Jiangxi at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then they were looted by thieves and bandits. A small Jiangxi Province, at most, raised more than 100,000 troops.
"We should get rid of the chaotic government of the Lin family as soon as possible, and we must pull out the chaos and oppose the government in time. Kan Ling confiscated Lin Shihong and Lin Yaoshi's fields, houses, and workshops in Jiangxi, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. That pharmacist Lin alone occupies more than 100,000 acres of land, do you want to leave it all to him? It was the secretary and supervisor Wang who spoke, and he also thought that there was no need to treat the Lin brothers too favorably.
"The sage previously conferred the title of duke of the county to Lin Shihong and gave him a real fief, but as a result, Lin Yaoshi was so chaotic in Jiangxi, I think, Lin Shihong must also be dealt with. Ask the sage to descend to the lord of Lin Shihong, take back his actual fief, and confiscate all his property in Jiangxi. ”
Wei Zheng sang and harmonized, "You can change the title of a lifelong marquis to Lin Shihong, such as the Marquis of Fengfeng, just keep the mansion in Luoyang for him, and all the property such as the field house in Jiangxi will be confiscated and confiscated as a punishment." ”
Pharmacist Lin died, the three-foot white silk hanged to death, and reported a violent death, which can be regarded as saving some face for Lin Shihong, otherwise if Lin Yaoshi is publicly dealt with according to the crime of treason, then Lin Shihong will not be able to escape the involvement.
Luo Cheng did not object.
"Since Kan Ling has already made this start, then simply do it to the end, take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up the Jiangxi place, from officials to officials, a good review, a good review, and a good investigation, all the problems are replaced, the court officials and the military department, seize the time, transfer a group of elite soldiers from all over the place to fill the vacancy, to run the yamen, can not be stopped."
"Also, for these local powerful clans, what I mean is that you can first move some people with a bad reputation to Liujing for resettlement, check their properties, and if you take advantage of them and take them by force, you will have to clear them. Of course, if it is an ancestral business, it should also be protected. ”
The emperor had two attitudes towards the officials in Jiangxi and the local wealthy and powerful households, and he resolutely dismissed the officials, leaving only a small number of people with a good reputation and ability, but most of them had to be transferred to other places.
As for the powerful and powerful families, those with the strongest power moved directly to Liujing, first, to enrich Liujing, and secondly, to uproot the influence and interference of these local big forces on the locality, which was conducive to the imperial court's takeover of Jiangxi.
Taking this opportunity, we can also check the property of these people, and all kinds of illegal gains, as well as any forcible seizure and robbery, must also be cleaned up.
"After these black products are cleared out and confiscated, the official fields will be cleared, and then the land will be given to the people of Jiangxi. In the mountainous areas where the land is narrow and there are many people, we must organize the relocation of some poor and proletarian people to the Dao counties where the border areas are vast and the population is scarce, and we must ensure that after the land is equalized, each family must have about 100 acres of land, so that some fields can be planted with mulberry hemp and trees, and some fields can be planted with grain, so that the family can still have food and clothing after paying rent and taxes. ”
Now many places have been newly conquered by the imperial court, and there is a lack of population. However, in many places in the Central Plains, there are now people without land, so for a newly attached place like Jiangxi, the emperor still emphasized again that it is necessary to achieve that a family of six or seven people should have 100 acres of land and be granted land.
In areas where there is little land and many people, the government should organize and move some of the poor proletarians to counties with few people and more land, or even to border counties outside Jiangxi.
"Another very important point is that for the usury in Jiangxi Province in the past, the implementation of a one-size-fits-all approach, the people only need to repay the principal and up to double the interest, no matter how long they have borrowed, no matter what the interest has been agreed upon, no matter how much interest has been rolled over, at most only pay the principal and double the interest to pay off, and for what nine out of thirteen such loans, the repayment is only calculated according to the actual number of loans."
In the past, many people lost their land and went bankrupt, all because of usury, and the interest was endless, and eventually the people were ruined and turned into slaves. So now the emperor wants to clean up the past.
"If the people can't repay the past debt for the time being, then the original owner can no longer be forced to force the debt, and the debt can also be taken over by the local government, and the local yamen will repay it on behalf of the local government, and then the people will repay some to the government every year in the future, and the debts repaid by the government shall not be calculated with interest, and shall be counted as interest-free loans."
Wei Zheng sighed and said, "The saint's move, I don't know how many people will be freed from the Bitter Sea Debt Mountain." ”
"I also hope that their lives can have a chance to start anew, I give them land and reduce debts and interest rates, so that they can start again and have a bright future."
For Luo Cheng, every time there is one more yeoman farmer, then the foundation of the imperial court must be strengthened.
It is necessary for the state's policy to be between yeoman farmers and the strong, and to give some preference to yeoman peasants.
"Jiangxi will be exempted from two taxes this year, and half of the tax will be levied next year!" Luo Cheng added another one.
"Let Kan Ling send a message to the bandits in Jiangxi that as long as they go down the mountain to accept Zhao'an within this year, then the imperial court can exempt them from their past crimes, give them a new place of origin, and grant them land in Juntian. But if those who dare to continue to resist, the imperial court will kill them regardless of them, and pursue three generations, all of them will be Changliu Baekje, Anxi, and Yunnan as Tuntian people, deprived of all property, and their wives and concubines will also be rationed by the government to Tuntian people as wives! ”
"Sage, I believe that as soon as this order comes out, the bandits in Jiangxi will be able to solve it immediately."
