Zhu Yujian's face became very gloomy, he didn't expect a mere leader of the rebel army, but he didn't bird him, a descendant of the Zhu family who had the right to inherit the right, which made him feel that his face was damaged, and he was about to get angry, his hand slapped the arm of the chair, and as soon as his body was raised, he was about to stand up and scold angrily, when he got up halfway, he suddenly sat down again, sighing, because he found that he really had no way to help this rebel leader.

Needless to say, now, the Qing army is attacking the city, and the Tingzhou Mansion is in danger of being destroyed at any time, even if he has soldiers in his hands and there are civil and military officials in the court, he does not have the strength to fight a strong rebel army that has just defeated the Qing army with a total strength of nearly 200,000 people.

This made him feel disappointed and hopeless again in himself and the situation at hand.

Zhu Dadian looked at Zhu Yujian on the dragon chair who wanted to be angry but suppressed himself, and couldn't help but think of the contradictory mentality of knowing that he was controlled in Jinhua Mansion and winning a Jinhua defense battle in a daze, and sighed.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran in again, and when everyone was glaring angrily and wanted to reprimand him for being rude, the guard shouted: "There are defeated soldiers who have fled from Ganzhou, and Ganzhou has been lost, and Yang Yanlin, a university scholar, and other officials have died in office." ”

"What, Ganzhou lost?" Su Guansheng, a university scholar, sat on the ground, He Kai and the others looked even more decadent, and Zhu Dadian's face turned pale with fright.

Zhu Dadian understood that the loss of Ganzhou was of key significance to the Longwu court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, because the southern part of Jiangxi, with Ganzhou as the center, was an important area connecting Fujian and Hunan, and it was also a barrier to Guangdong.

With Ganzhou, the two Southern Ming courts can rely on each other, the Longwu court can still retreat to Guangzhou even if it loses the Tingzhou Mansion, the Yongli court is a timid court, and even the court does not dare to establish the court in Guangzhou, and at any time wants to escape, just started to ascend the throne in Zhaoqing, at this time has run to Guilin, even so, as long as Ganzhou is not lost, Longwu can still run to Jiangxi or Hunan and other places, now, Ganzhou is lost, Longwu court can only run to Quanzhou.

The problem is that Quanzhou is also chaotic, Quanzhou currently belongs to the territory of the Zheng family, but the principal of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong, has surrendered to the Tartars, his son and his men are in trouble, and they have to resist the attack of the Qing army, the Qing army did not let go of the Zheng family because Zheng Zhilong surrendered to them, they are still under the command of Li Chengdong, under the leadership of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, launched an attack on Quanzhou and Tingzhou at the same time.

But the Zheng family is really too powerful, and the Qing army's sailors fight with them, which is like a child fighting with an adult strong man, so Quanzhou is in danger, the problem is that they can't go to Quanzhou now, and Zheng Hongkui in Quanzhou will not accept them.

It can be said that the Longwu court has come to an end at this time, losing all the territory, and the ministers under him who have soldiers to fight have fallen to the Yongli court.

Emperor Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, seemed to have been taken away from his last courage, and sat on the chair in a daze.

The attendant on the side looked around, and then looked at Zhu Yujian, Zhu Yujian waved his hand weakly, and the attendant shouted loudly: "Retreat." ”

Walking out of the mansion, Zhu Dadian said to the guards beside him: "Choose a team of cavalry with strong martial arts and good fighting skills, escort my daughter Zhu Panpan out of the city to Jinhua Mansion, you personally lead the team, take my letter, and let Zhang Qiang quickly lead the troops to help after reading my letter." ”

Not to mention how difficult the Longwu court in Tingzhou Mansion was, it is said that Zhang Qiang, who had already decided to follow his own path, was in the fields at this time, inspecting his territory and talking with the people about this year's harvest.

Although it was only February, and the cold wind was still very unpleasant, and occasionally there were some biting bones, the weather in the south was still very warm compared to the north, and at this time people were already ploughing the ground in preparation for this year's planting.

In the barren mountains in the distance, in the valley road, the cavalry was rushing back and forth, stabbing with cavalry spears, slashing with sabers, changing formations, firing with short firearms, harassing with bows and arrows, and the training was vague at all.

On the river in the distance, fishing boats are one by one, and occasionally the warships of the sailors can be seen galloping by, patrolling the river to prevent the sailors of the Qing army from attacking Jinhuafu.

"The land has been divided?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Jin Sheng rode a war horse and followed Zhang Qiang's side, dressed as a Confucian student, heard Zhang Qiang's question, turned his head to Zhang Qiang and said: "Yes, Lord Dudu, according to your orders, all the fields will be confiscated and redistributed, five acres per household, no matter how large the population, the basic household grain field is not allowed to be bought and sold, and then according to the population, each person has one point of land, and then one more point of land, this land is owned by individuals, it is not allowed to be transferred, it is not allowed to be bought and sold, it belongs to the basic ration field, and the baby is born and has it, according to the previously re-registered household registration." ”

Zhang Qiang squinted at the golden afterglow on the river surface and nodded slightly.

Jin Sheng saw Zhang Qiang nodding, and said: "In addition, commercial land, two taels of silver per mu, the service life is ten years, and the buyer can give priority to renewing the purchase at the end of ten years, and if the buyer does not renew the purchase, the government will take it back and sell it again." Farm land, five taels per mu, 30 years of service, expiration can also be priority to renew, if not renewed, the government will take it back and sell it again. ”

With a cough, Jin Sheng went on to explain to Zhang Qiang his achievements as a political envoy in Jinhua Mansion during this period of time.

"In addition to the basic household grain land, the basic ration land does not have to pay rent and pay taxes, and commercial land and farm land must pay taxes and rent."

"Commercial land has to pay taxes, twice a year, spring tax and autumn tax.

Spring tax 30 tax 5, autumn tax, 30 tax 15, after two tax payments, the end of the year.

If the landlord pays the tax on time and completes the tax in full, the tax refund is three; If the tax cannot be paid on time, the tax will be increased by one; if it is leaked, the tax will be increased by two; If the circumstances are heinous, they will be arrested and imprisoned, and the payment shall be made within a time limit, and those who have completed it shall be recorded in the case file and shall not be allowed to receive tax refunds for one year; If the completion is overdue, it will be recorded in the case and no tax refund will be allowed for two years; In the second year, the tax will be increased by one, and those who resist and the circumstances are heinous, the land and property will be confiscated, and those who kill or seriously injure the tax collector will be imprisoned for three to five years, and the family property will be confiscated. ”

"Farm land, the first year to pay 70% of the rent, pay 10% of the tax, the second year, pay 60% of the rent, pay 10% of the tax, the third year, pay 50% of the rent, pay 20% of the tax, the fourth year of the rent of 40%, pay 30% of the tax, the fifth year of the rent of 40%, pay 40% of the tax, the sixth year of the rent of 40%, pay 30% of the tax, the following years, according to the sixth year, when the government comes out with new rules, and then change."

Zhang Qiang pulled the war horse and walked forward slowly, more than a dozen personal guards and knights around him scattered around, the four knights in front were sheltered fifty meters away, and the thirty cavalry behind followed.

The two of them, one talking, the other listening, came to the riverside pier.

Jin Sheng is still continuing to report, "Commercial land, can be planted, can be used to build factories, the tax rate can be floated in the future, according to the market price, floating one-twelfth, the acres of land according to the demand to report to the government for approval, the government according to the land demand of the whole government to calculate and approve, farm land, the minimum 30 acres, the highest 1,000 acres, maybe the government approval, according to your orders, strictly control the circulation and sale of land." ”

Zhang Qiang jumped off his horse, handed the whip to the cavalry, and said to Jin Sheng: "You have done a good job, you must know that our territory here is small, and there are not many fields, so we can't let those rich people squander our land wantonly."

How did the Ming Dynasty die, it's not that the land annexation is too powerful, resulting in the people having no land to plant, and selling children and daughters can't live, what we have to do is to give the people a hope, give the people a stable living environment.

Therefore, I have come up with this method, you must urge those officials under your command not to force the people to rebel, not to engage in favoritism, if found, immediately dismiss their posts and investigate them, and if the circumstances are serious, or transfer, or demote, or dismiss, or go to prison, or kill their heads, do not be soft. ”

Jin Sheng followed behind, resigned, and when he heard Zhang Qiang's advice, he immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, my lord is hardworking, I keep it in mind." ”

"Well, solving the fields is the first step we have to take, how many people and people have we settled down so far?"
