"What do you want to do?"

Xu Si looked at the servants who were attracted by the screams and shouted.

The servants looked at each other.

"Quick, catch him, and reward each of them with a thousand taels!"

Cao Rong shouted anxiously.

Xu Si really wants to report, then he has only one way to die, Yang Qingzheng is worried that he didn't kill chickens and monkeys! He sent it to the door, trying to bribe the representatives of the four people, and bribe the election to achieve the goal of blocking the public land law, then the raid is indispensable, and his head has to fall to the ground.

"They want to kill people, do you want to die together?"

Xu Si shouted.

The servants quickly sobered up.

There is no need to do such stupid things for those who receive wages like this, they are servants, and the deed of sale in the past has long been invalidated, and now they are nothing more than hired workers who receive wages. Even if the Cao family raids the house, it will not implicate itself, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to find another employer, and if you can't find an employer, you can go to Huangzhuang to take refuge.

In that case......

They quickly retreated.

Xu Si turned his head to look at Cao Rong.

The latter is also stupid.

Lao Xiangxian suddenly threw his crutches and threw them at Xu Si's feet, hugging his legs directly......

"Fourth, Uncle Tai was confused for a while, you just let us go for the sake of the family! I grew up with your grandfather since I was a child, and your father was sick when he was a child or I paid for it, and if you really want to report your uncle, you can't live, can you really bear to watch your uncle go to the court in his old age? If you really go to report it, Uncle Tai will hang himself tonight, so as not to be stabbed! ”

The old fellow was crying with a handful of snot and tears.

Xu Si pushed him away in disgust.

"You're doing it for yourself!"

He looked at Cao Rong, who was smiling flatteringly, and then turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Lao Xiangxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Rong watched Xu Si leave, and after the latter's figure disappeared completely, they looked at each other again. Then there was a fierce expression on the face of the old countryman, Cao Rong nodded clearly, and then looked at the servants, who lowered their heads and pretended not to know anything......

"A bunch of trash, get out!"

Cao Rong shouted.

The servants hurried away.

"The world is going down, it's all the slave release order!"

The old countryman sighed and said.

Indeed, if you want to rush over, how can any domestic slave dare not listen to the master, but after the promulgation of this slave release decree, the slaves and maids have become hired laborers, and people will no longer listen to their masters for everything. Even if they are kicked out of the house, it is not a big deal, it is nothing more than to find an imperial village, in the past, slaves and maids could only be exiles when they left their masters, but now they can be imperial citizens. The reason why he still works in these gentry families is because the amount of land controlled by Jiangnan Huangzhuang is limited, and if he wants to join Huangzhuang, he can only be sent to other places to get land.

But the personal dependency relationship does not exist, it is okay to work for the gentry's house, but it is not possible to do stupid things that commit crimes for the gentry.

"Luckily, there are others!"

Cao Rong sneered.

"You must be more hidden, so that we can't be implicated."

The old countryman said.

"Don't worry, the southern capital has a population of two or three million, even if it is a representative of the four people, it is inevitable that there will be an accident or something, even if there is no accident, there will be a gangster who robs and hurts people!"

Cao Rong said.

They didn't dare to guarantee that Xu Sizhen would not report them, in the end, the two sides had actually torn their faces, this was about the life of the family, since Xu Si had already moved this mind, he couldn't let him live anymore. After all, he also experienced the destruction of Beijing, and Cao Qianyushi did not even have the courage to kill individuals.

The next night.

"In the end, it's still wealthy."

Yang Qing said.

Of course, he is well aware of the bribery activities of the gentry in Nandu.

It's not by Jinyiwei.

In fact, what happened to Cai Cao's two families was immediately reported to Jinyiwei by the servant in the form of a whistleblower, since he wants to play spy rule, of course, it is impossible not to encourage whistleblowing, although it sounds a little unpleasant, but it is really useful. Of course, it can't be said to be a whistleblower, this is that those servants and maids are loyal to the country and loyal to Her Majesty the Empress, and they can't see that their employers have committed adultery and crimes, and as the people of the Ming Dynasty, they have the responsibility to report and expose for the country. Anyway, at this time, the slave release decree had already been promulgated, and theoretically, except for the foreign slaves and maids who were specially registered in the government, those servants and maids who still accounted for a large part of the gentry's family were already counted as good people, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

In the past, it was also a sin to enslave the master.

Any dynasty slave sues the master, even if it is true, the slave must be punished to a certain extent.

If the informant makes the master arrested, and the master's family is finished, they have no other way to live, after all, the slave and the maid are directly on the slave register, and they are basically all registered and then sold by the official. The good thing of being expelled as a good person, that is, during the Hongwu period, could still be counted on, at that time, the commoners were even strictly forbidden to keep slaves and maids, and after discovering it, not only would they be punished but the slaves and maids would be released directly as beloved.

But don't count on that.

Even in the later period of development, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were able to keep thousands of domestic slaves.

What's more, those officials are all defenders of the old system of etiquette and law, and for this kind of case, they generally clean up the slaves and maids first, which is a problem of the program, just like when the official is the official, the tenant sues the landlord can violate the program, so the slave sue the master unless he is forced to have no choice, basically it will not happen.

But now it's different.

They are all good people, who is afraid of whom!

"Isn't that exactly what you want?"

Li Laiheng said sarcastically.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just giving them a chance to be tested, they can't stand the test and blame themselves, and it's not me who forced them to collect money. If they don't accept it, it's okay, if they don't accept it, what can I do with them, look, isn't this something that has stood the test? ”

Yang Qing said with a secret report about Xu Si.

His plot was still very successful.

These days, those gentry are jumping into his trap without hesitation, bribing those representatives of the four peoples in various ways, and there are still beautiful women who use money and land. In particular, these old villagers and sages who are from their own nationality have traveled thousands of miles to move with emotion and reason, and have gone all out to launch an offensive against a total of 299 permanent representatives with voting rights. And they are quite rewarding, after all, not everyone can resist the temptation, Xu Si is a special situation, and Zhou Chang is normal, but even so, there are still not many people who promise to vote against.

The main reason is that their fear of the protector is still very serious.

Money is a good thing.

Qian and Tian are liked by everyone.

But the problem is that this money is not easy to take!

No one knows whether it will anger the Protector and then retaliate, in the final analysis, the Four People's Congress is the Protector of the Nation, although with the various things over the years, the Four People's Congress has formed a certain prestige among the people, but in the final analysis, it is still an institution with no real strength. Not to mention using this to fight against the Protector of the Kingdom, if Yang Qingzhen retaliates, then the representatives of the four people really have no ability to resist, so there are indeed many people who support the gentry, but there are few who really dare to collect money.

It doesn't matter if you pay lip service to it.

But after receiving the money, this is the alliance, and you have to vote against, and the vote of the Four People's Assembly is a show of hands, and it is clear who is in favor and who is against.

However, Xu Si's performance was still very pleasantly surprised.

This meant that the peasants really began to wake up and began to understand the clear class antagonism between them and the landlords, although to Yang Qing's regret, Xu Si did not go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report it.

But it also makes sense.

After all, he is just a tenant farmer who came out of the countryside of eastern Zhejiang, where the clan power is serious, and it is certainly unrealistic for him to completely get rid of the clan mentality, but he can recognize the meaning of the Gongtian Law and withstand the sugar-coated shells of the gentry, which can be regarded as a real awakening. Give him enough time, he will completely get rid of the shackles of old ideas, and this person can be completely reused in the future, for example, after he steps down as the representative of the four peoples, let him participate in the next step of land reform, and then the land reform in Jiangnan will need a large number of land reform teams.

"I understand, compared to you, it's still too simple to break the king!"

Li Laiheng said with emotion.

"So he failed in the end!"

Yang Qing said very frankly.

"And even without me, he can still only be a loser, he or your ability is not enough to deal with the complex situation of the Ming Dynasty, when you are still a rebel, you are indeed a bamboo, you are a successful rebel. But you are not successful rulers, you can destroy the old empire, but you cannot build new states, and without me, you will still fail in the counterattack of the gentry and the southward march of the Jiannu, unless you can join the gentry and continue to guarantee their privileges.

But what is the use of your rebellion?

You are just changing the soup but not the medicine, replacing the Zhu Emperor with the Li Emperor, and the world is still rampant with corrupt officials and local tyrants and shoddy gentry, and wait until a certain year later, a Zhang Zicheng or Wang Zicheng rises up and repeats your rebellion process.

But I'm different. ”

He said proudly.

"You are more insidious and cunning than we are!"

Li Laiheng said.

Obviously, Yang Qing's thick skin made him speechless.

"Insidious and cunning is insidious and cunning! Knowing that I sin against me, it is only in the spring and autumn, and future generations will understand my good intentions! As for you, help me solve Zhang Xianzhong's problem and retire with peace of mind, and seeing that my son doesn't, your one-year-old daughter can be the queen for him! ”

Yang Qing said.

Zhang Xianzhong's situation is not good, Chengdu's Jinyi Wei sent back an urgent report, and he can't survive the end of the year, Yang Qing must find a special envoy to stabilize those military leaders for him. And this envoy is no more suitable than Li Laiheng, one Li Laiheng and his personal friends are well known, and there are not many friends of the protector, which is the best personal relationship. The second is Li Zicheng's system, and Zhang Xianzhong's people are all from rebel backgrounds, which can be regarded as a type, and they even have more or less old friendships, after all, they are all from the same place. Moreover, the situation of him and the generals of the original Li Zicheng system at this time can also dispel the concerns of the generals under Zhang Xianzhong, which is equivalent to a billboard. As for setting a baby kiss for the prince who is not yet a year old, this can be regarded as a stable interior, with this future Empress Daming, the Huangzhuang in Guanzhong can continue to be loyal to the Yang family.

"What if there is an accident?"

Li Laiheng said.

"There will be no accidents, they have a total of more than 50,000 elites, 20,000 are in Yunnan and are ready to march to Burma, but there are more than 30,000 left, and there are two cavalry brigades under the leadership of Bai Wenxuan passing through Xikang, what are they doing to make an accident?

You go and talk to Zhang Xianzhongming.

As long as he enters the court, everything is according to the standards of your Li family, and his Duke of Shu is inherited by a son appointed by him, which is also my godson, and the other sons each have an earl. The private property he had accumulated in Sichuan over the years was still owned by the Zhang family, whether it was land or factory names, and he was free to distribute it to his sons. As for Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, the four generals were made marquises, and the above generals continued to command the troops, of course, if they were unwilling to lead the troops, they would also have another appointment, and their private property would be based on Zhang Xianzhong's example. Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan and other second-class generals are earls, I will give you another copy of the list, if you are willing to be a magistrate in the army or retire to be a rich man, they are as they please, and those who are willing to retire with the rank of general or above, and want to continue to stay in the army, will be appointed separately with the rank of major general. ”

Yang Qing said.

He doesn't mind a few more titles!

An earl is nothing more than 3,000 acres of land, and these guys themselves are currently starting with 10,000 acres of fertile land, and 3,000 acres is not worth mentioning, just to make a guarantee to them. And these people also have talents, we must admit that Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates actually know better about governance than Li Zicheng's subordinates, although they are so mad that they are blackened by our Qing Dynasty, but in fact, Zhang Xianzhong has really established effective rule in the Chengdu area.

"What about the gentry?"

Lee Rae-hyung asked.

This question is very important, after all, Yang Qing is going to engage in the public land law, and the Sichuan gentry all live on the land, and he can only fight with him if he wants the public land.

"It won't change for a hundred years!"

Yang Qing said with a finger raised.

"I give them 100 years, and in this 100 years they will find their own way to transfer their wealth to industry and commerce, and I will not implement the public land law in Sichuan in 100 years."

He continued.

A hundred years is almost the time left.

With the current natural population growth rate in Sichuan and the planting of new crops, the population there is estimated to reach 30 million in 100 years, and with Sichuan's natural conditions, even if there is no chemical fertilizer, relying only on the increase in the output of new crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes will be enough to accommodate 30 million people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population of Sichuan had reached 40 million, and even then there was still very little famine in Sichuan, and it was able to supplement the gap between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces with tax revenues, and 30 million was a completely stress-free number.

Then the land reform will be implemented.

"But what if they still don't want to?"

Li Laiheng said.

"They have no other choice, I just don't want to destroy the peace in Sichuan, but if they have to resist, I won't give up the right to take back the rule of Sichuan by force."

Yang Qing said.

That's the case.

He doesn't mind solving this problem in a pro-conscription way, with minimal cost.

Lee Rae-hyung has no other problems.
