Chapter 205 The Marquis of Zhongyong said, we are a society ruled by law

"This dog stuff that eats inside and out!"

This year, he didn't get into the new subject, and he was reading poetry and books hard at home, and Wang Juren, who was preparing for the next subject, slammed the table angrily.

Just now, Jin Yiwei took his father away.

A tenant of his family went to the Jinyiwei investigation team to report that his grandfather had encroached on 1,000 acres of official land that originally belonged to Xuanzhouwei, because his grandfather was no longer there, so he took his father and sent him to Nanjing for interrogation. What kind of place is the wolf's den, he has been in Nanjing for a long time, he knows very well, basically there is nothing to recruit when he arrives there, once it is verified, not only the 1,000 acres of land need to be handed over, but also have to pay a huge fine......

The only thing to be thankful for is that this matter has nothing to do with the two of them, after all, his grandfather has been dead for more than ten years, at most he can be regarded as a person who does not report it, and even he can say that he does not know.

His father can bear the sin of not reporting it.

But......

His family is not only this piece of land, but it is the occupied Xuanzhou Weiguan field!

The Wang family is a generation of hairpins, when the Great Yuan Dynasty was a gentry, the days at that time were really happy and happy, but unfortunately the Mongolians were not used, and they did not support a thousand generations in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Zhu Yuanzhang won the world later, the Wang family suffered a lot of losses at that time, but after all, the knowledge of poetry and book heirlooms could not be lost, and Zhu Yuanzhang also had to use scholars. After more than 200 years, the Wang family produced four jinshi, the highest official position as a political envoy, each jinshi can basically get a piece of good land from the nearby Xuanzhou Wei in various ways, and even when there is no jinshi, relying on the connections in the officialdom, they can increase their own land by eroding the official field of Xuanzhou Wei.

It's not that difficult.

Those generals had to get up the ranks.

Because the military department, the governor, the governor, and the military supervisor can all hold the neck of the military general, and steal a few pieces of official land that does not belong to them in order to tie up with the civilian officials, so that they can not only get silver but also get the favor of the civilian officials......

Why not?

Those generals themselves have embezzled Guantian!

It's like this all over the world, in this era when land is the greatest wealth, Guantian is the biggest piece of fat, everyone is staring at it, no one will check this, and to check this is to offend the entire officialdom and even the generals. Not to mention the ministers, even the emperor didn't dare to investigate, and if he dared to investigate, he would fall into the water, so Zhang Juzheng's Jingjie wisely avoided this matter, and instead confirmed their ownership of these lands that had been encroached upon.

But now this loyal and brave marquis is frantically turning over this old account......

It's insane!

What's even more hateful is that those dog things that eat inside and outside dare to report? Tenants report the owner's house? Clansmen report patriarchs? This is simply incomprehensible! This is nothing short of moral degradation! Where have all the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness gone, the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient! How did the Wang family heirloom of poetry and books come up with such a owl!

"Young master, we can't sit still!"

The housekeeper next to him said cautiously.

"Wang Si's dog thing is taking the lead, I'm afraid that other tenants will also have grass in their hearts!"

He continued.

"What do you want?"

Wang Juren said.

"The master was arrested, this Wang family is now your master, the old slave goes to other families to collude, you take out some silver for them, let them use the banner of Wang Si framing the master, let them gather the clansmen to arrest the family members of this dog thing, soak his women and children in the pig cage, burn his house, kill chickens and monkeys, lest anyone dare to follow and learn."

The butler said viciously.

"It's not easy to do it if it's dead, isn't it?"

Wang Juren said hesitantly.

"What's so bad about that? The young master and the county lord often drink together, give him some silver to pretend that he doesn't know, and then don't blame the public, this kind of family law matter in the clan is all turned a blind eye. ”

The butler said.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll write a letter to the county honor!"

Wang Juren thought for a while and said.

Indeed, the government will not take care of this kind of thing.

What's more, he also has a friend who has just been admitted to the Jinshi, and he is also a lifter, maybe he will be admitted in the next subject, and the county will give this face.

An hour later.

Not far from here, in the Huangzhuang Office.

"Liu Yong, didn't Liu Yong come?"

Zhuang head Li Zhong shouted.

In front of him, more than a hundred strong men sitting on the pony looked at each other.

"Then next, Xu An."

Li Zhong shouted.

A strong man quickly stood up and walked over, Li Zhong picked up a pocket from the side, Xu An smiled and pressed his handprint on the list next to him, then took the pocket from his hand, and then returned to his little horse and sat down. Just as Li Zhong shouted the name of another person, he couldn't wait to open his pocket and grab the corn inside, and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.

This is corn seed.

Corn seeds made by Marquis Zhongyong in Huaixi last year.

Not only corn seeds, but also seeds of other new crops are like this, which are uniformly allocated and distributed by the Huangzhuang system, but it is not free, but the cost is temporarily paid by Zhongyong Hou. After all, those Liao people in Huaixi can't do it in vain, this is all squeezing their rations, and the Marquis Zhongyong temporarily pays the seed money for the Huangzhuang everywhere, and after the autumn harvest, the militia of the Huangzhuang or the imperial people they call themselves will pay him back with grain. This fee will be added to the rent of the Emperor's Village, but the corn will be planted in the newly opened wasteland, and the newly opened wasteland will not be rented for three years, so the emperor will only pay the seed money at that time.

Delivered in kind.

And the abundance of Jiangnan itself could ensure that the imperial people lived on their own fertile land.

Those fertile fields are still cultivated with rice.

In this way, the yield of the newly opened land is surplus.

Like corn, which is easy to store and transport, it will be purchased by Huangzhuang's internal system, and after the purchase, it will be used for the country's grain reserves, mainly to offset the one million stone per year for Li Zicheng, anyway, he has no limit on grain seeds, giving him rice is the same as giving him corn, since this is the case, Yang Qing will of course give him corn.

In addition to eating, sweet potatoes also make wine.

Jiangnan consumes a lot of grain every year to make wine, and even the grain that is drunk by those gentry every year costs millions of stones, Yang Qing is ready to use sweet potato wine to rush the low-end market, and then raise taxes on rice wine sharply, forcing people to drink sweet potato wine. The winery in Huangzhuang buys sweet potatoes on the spot and makes wine and transports them directly to Nanjing and other places to sell, while the distiller's lees can be used to raise pigs, and even things such as vermicelli made from sweet potatoes can be sold in the city.

And Lu Lu is also sweet sorghum, which is mainly used to feed war horses.

Yang Qing is now seriously short of horses.

However, the horse farm of Taifu Temple has long existed in name only, and it is just possible to use the Huangzhuang system to raise horses, not only Lu Xuan, but other high-quality pasture grass will also be planted in the fields of Huangzhuang, and then planting forage grass will be subsidized. Of course, this is the initial stage, and Yang Qing is going to implement the forage for fertilizer in the future, and he is studying going to the East China Sea to dig up guano, which does not need to go too far, and the Diaoyu Islands have it. They dug up guano and used it as a subsidy for planting pasture, planted grass and horses throughout the Huangzhuang system, and began to promote this fertilizer. In the era when there was no chemical fertilizer, guano was the most important fertilizer, and the food supply of Europeans throughout the nineteenth century depended on this thing, and the Ming Dynasty used guano as fertilizer without going to Peru and the Pacific islands to dig, and the islands in the East China Sea and the South China Sea also had it, as long as there was a ship to dig it.

Rice is grown on the original fertile land.

Newly opened land is planted with corn and sweet potatoes according to different conditions.

Then the worst is planted with pasture.

Rice is the staple food, corn and sweet potatoes are cash crops and make up for the shortage of staple foods, and forage is purely to earn subsidies to earn extra money.

That's a system.

However, this system is only an economic model of Huangzhuang, and according to different regional conditions, Yangqing also has multiple models to adapt to different regions.

After all, not all Huangzhuang are like Xuancheng.

The distribution of corn seeds continued, and all the royal people who were allocated corn seeds looked at the seeds they had received with great interest, and then there would be a master from Huaixi to teach them how to grow this kind of thing. At this moment, all the imperial people are full of hope for the future, in fact, only less than forty percent of the land rent and tax exemption is enough for them to have enough food and clothing, this place is not as arid and barren as the north, this itself is the main grain producing area of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the rest are all surplus. All they need to pay is the possibility of being drafted into the army, but being a soldier also means having the opportunity to get ahead all of a sudden.

Originally, as the original military households, they were also going to be soldiers.

"Zhuang Tou!"

Suddenly, a man rushed in.

"Liu Yong, take your seed!"

Li Zhong shouted.

"Don't worry about this for now, the housekeeper of the Wang Ju family is taking hundreds of people from the Wang family clan and is going to the Wang Si family to practice the family law!"

Liu Yong wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"Wang Si, is he from our Zhuangzi?"

Li Zhong said suspiciously.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, after he went to Jinyiwei to report, he was signed by the commander and officially made up to our Zhuangzi, but he was taken to Nanjing to confront him, so he didn't have time to report yet, but his name has been added."

The assistant next to him said.

"Then what are you talking about, copying guys, people who dare to touch our imperial people! We can't bully people, but we can't be bullied by others! Open the armory room, take out Lao Tzu's gun, all the militia gathered to wear armor and issue weapons, Zhongyong Marquis said, we are a society under the rule of law, and we dare to use family law to lynch, it is simply lawless! ”

Li Zhong shouted without hesitation.

The militiamen in front of him handed over the corn seeds to the women watching the bustle as quickly as possible, and then lined up with their respective captains according to their training these days. And the assistant had already taken the key to open the armory room next to it, and took out the cotton armor and chain mail that had been eliminated after the reorganization of the Ming army inside and distributed them one by one. Also distributed were a spear and even a bow and a small number of birds, and the formation was pressed by a domineering spear, and a small Spanish phalanx was quickly formed.

"Let's go, let's teach Confucius how to be a man!"

Li Zhong, who was carrying an axe and gun, shouted.

The militiamen were in high spirits, and then they surged out after him......
