"Loyal and brave marquis, this matter needs to be cautious!"

After the court meeting, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu made a final effort, trying to pull Yang Qing, who was obviously playing with fire.

"What does the cabinet want to say?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Marquis Zhongyong, you don't really know what's going on, do you?"

Gao Hongtu said with a hint of doubt.

He is a native of Jiaozhou, Shandong, a Jinshi in the Wanli period, if you add the negligible Taichang, it can already be said that after five dynasties, he can be regarded as a veteran minister of the court at this time, although Xie Xuelong is one year older than him, but Zhongjinshi is later than him, so although he is not in the same group as the Donglin Party, the latter must maintain respect for him in the court. Originally, after the Qing army broke through Hangzhou, he entrusted his accompanying grandson to Menke, the author of "Guoyi", Tan Qian, and then died of hunger strike. However, at this time, because of Chongzhen's southern crossing, he, as the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, is also the only one of the six books that has nothing to do with the Donglin Party, and has always been trusted by Chongzhen, and has always been in the important position of the household secretary.

"Gong Zhai, what do I know, what do I don't know, does this have anything to do with what I'm going to do?"

Yang Qing said.

"You're deliberately playing with fire!"

Gao Hongtu said with emotion.

This meaning is very clear, Yang Qing's purpose is not to land property at all, and his goal in doing things is not to check the occupied official land at all, he just finds such an excuse, and then provokes a struggle between himself and the Jiangnan gentry.

This aggressive guy can really toss!

As for the purpose......

Gao Hongtu is too lazy to care.

"Loyal and brave marquis, do it yourself!"

He said with a long sigh.

Shi Kefa also looked at Yang Qing deeply, and then looked at Jian Guo, who was knitting socks with his head bowed on the throne......

Hand-knitted woolen socks have become popular in Daming, although this thing is also the configuration of the upper class in Europe at present, but the Marquis of Zhongyong has ordered to equip the Northern Army, in this winter because of frostbite during the station, but the Henan garrison has lost a lot of personnel. The first and second main armies, mainly southerners, were particularly serious, and the cavalry corps and the fourth and fifth armies were mainly northerners, so this problem was relatively better, and these frostbites were mainly frostbite on the toes, so it was difficult to continue to attack northward to colder places, and they had to solve their problem of cold protection.

Therefore, before the arrival of winter this year, Yang Qing will equip every soldier stationed in the north with cotton shoes and woolen socks.

In order to show his concern for the front-line soldiers, Jian Guozheng took the women in the palace to use the hand-knitting techniques taught by the loyal and brave marquis to work hard to knit socks for the soldiers in the army, and even raised sheep and wool around Xuanwu Lake for this purpose, and hand-spun yarn with new looms. It is conceivable how grateful they will be when the soldiers on the northern front take over the hand-knitted socks of the prison country, the queen mother, and the concubine, and then they can only repay it with fighting bravely to kill the enemy.

At this moment, I look at the prison country who is not doing his job.

Let's look at the loyal and brave marquis who doesn't know the severity.

Shi Kefa could only sigh as well, and then left behind Gao Hongtu.

"You don't really want to take those lands back, do you?"

Huang Fei said cautiously.

"What did the gentry rely on to control the place?"

Yang Qing said.

"Clans."

Huang Fei said.

"Does just one ancestor work?"

Yang Qing said.

"An ancestor is not good, he has to have land and tenants, and the patriarch of the big clan has the most tenants with the most land. Moreover, many of the tenants are of the same clan and can rent the best land, and even in bad years, the main family will give some money and food to help with the clan, and the tenants of the clan are naturally obedient. Then use the clansmen's tenants to manage the tenants with different surnames, and whoever is disobedient in the clan can gather all the tenants to defeat the expert law with a stick in the past. If outsiders infringe on the interests of the clan, such as fighting for water, the patriarch will order all the tenants to gather and fight in formation. It is not uncommon to fight a war without losing to us on the battlefield, and it is not uncommon to have a war of hundreds or thousands of people, especially in the area south of the Yangtze River, where there are tens of thousands of people in the war!

In fact, it's the same as in the military.

The patriarch of the largest landlord is the commander, the small landlord in the clan is the general, the tenants of the clan are the householders, and the tenants with different surnames are the cannon fodder soldiers.

This is the gentry.

They are even stronger than the army, and the family law is stricter than the military discipline in that tribe.

Not to mention such a trivial matter as competing for water sources with other families, such a gentry is not pleasing to the eye of the county magistrate, and it is okay to gather thousands of clansmen and tenants to beat the county magistrate out of the county government. If you have a fame or a family member who is an official, you can just find a friend in the same department to impeach and say that the county order provoked a popular uprising, then the county order is unlucky, and such a gentry is really the emperor of the soil! ”

Huang Fei said.

"That's why I'm going to destroy these step by step."

Yang Qing patted his second brother on the shoulder and said.

Xuancheng.

Tenant farmer Wang Si looked curiously at a group of militiamen who appeared in the village.

These militias were actually the military households of Xuanzhou Wei before, but according to the New Deal reform, the military households to which Xuanzhou Wei belonged, plus some of the relatives of the shantytowns who came out of the mountains because of the recruitment of the mountain army, were all organized into Huangzhuang. In addition to cultivating the land of the original Ning Guowei, they also opened up some land nearby that could not grow grain in the past, and then planted a large number of sweet potatoes and Lu Lu and the like, without paying any taxes, only paying 10% to a maximum of 40% of the land rent. In addition, a cement factory is being built to burn cement, a winery, and a charcoal field in the mountains, and the output is transported to Nanjing to exchange for silver.

War horses are also fed.

Even women learned new looms from Huaixi.

Moreover, the head of the Huangzhuang is not appointed by the imperial court, but supervised by the Jinyi Guard, and is elected by the Zhuang men of the Huangzhuang together, and is re-elected every three years. There is also a school for the children of the villagers to go to school for free, and there is also a health center called a health center, and if you get sick, you will be treated by the doctor there.

For a time, it caused a sensation in various parts of Xuancheng.

It is said that this is just the beginning, and those Liao people in Huaixi and those Zhuangzi who were originally in Beijing around Nanjing started last year.

This made Wang Si envious.

You must know that he knows the details of these military households, but he knows very well that these people used to live worse than himself! The military household is on the same level as those lowest-ranking tenants, and high-ranking tenants like him are not looked down upon at all. Now that people have suddenly become unattainable, even his body seems to have a halo, making him feel that he doesn't have enough confidence to even get closer.

At this moment, these militiamen were surrounding an official who walked outside the wall of the house of the largest landlord in the village and the third uncle of Wang Si.

Wang Si planted the land of his third uncle's family at this time, who had just come out of the fifth suit, and needed to pay sixty percent of the rent every year, although for the sake of the family, the land given to him was not bad, but the annual harvest was only enough to be half hungry and half full, and two meals a day was still a luxury life, and he had to do some odd and bit work for the third uncle's family for free. But because the third uncle who didn't pay taxes because he relied on his son to lift people last year, now he has to pay taxes, and it is rumored that he will have to add at least half of the rent this year, Wang Si is now afraid of looking at this magnificent mansion in front of him!

"Liu San, what are you doing?"

He smiled and emboldened, and cautiously asked a militiaman he knew.

The latter gave him a contemptuous look.

"Call me Liu Yong."

Then the avant-garde military household of Liu San, who had been called by him for decades, said.

"Liu, Liu Yong, what are you doing?"

Wang Si said embarrassedly.

By this time the ruler had gone to the wall, and began to write large letters on the wall with black paint and brushes, and the servants of the king's people stood in front of the gate and watched, but did not come forward to stop them. Vaguely, Wang Si could hear what they were talking about Jinyiwei and the like, and they were all cautious on their faces, it was obvious that the official was the famous Jinyiwei who could be called the night cry.

"The order of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the number of official fields inspected by the Jingjie team is seriously inconsistent with the number of official fields that the original Xuanzhou Wei should have, so the Jinyi Wei Investigation Team was sent to investigate the encroachment of the gentry of Ningguo Mansion on the occupation of the official fields of Xuanzhou Wei. In order to avoid misunderstanding among the people, the people were specially informed that if it was really found that there was an encroachment on the land of Xuanzhou Weiguan, only the landlord would be severely punished and the fields would be recovered, and the tenants who originally rented these fields were all changed to the Huangzhuang militia to continue to rent according to the militia regulations.

That is to say, no matter what the rent was in the past, it was reduced to less than 40%.

And exempt from all taxes, and into the Huangzhuang for management, the tenants will be the emperor's people, although the crime is still under the control of the county magistrate, but the Huangzhuang has a special lawyer can help fight the lawsuit, but also let the child go to free school, sick can go to the health center for treatment. It's just that you have to train regularly every year and fight as a soldier when the prison country needs it, and of course, if you make meritorious service on the battlefield, you will also be promoted and rich. In addition, in order to speed up the investigation, insiders are allowed to take the lead, and those who expose the whistleblower will be rewarded with one Singapore dollar for every ten acres reported, that is, one or two silver in the past.

If you know who has encroached on the official land, don't forget to report it!

Not only can you get a reward for silver, but you can also become a militia of Huangzhuang, such a good thing is to supervise the country and the loyal and brave marquis in power, I can't think about it, you have seen it in my current days, don't be stupid enough to miss this opportunity, the door of Huangzhuang has been opened to you! ”

Liu Yong patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Si very meaningfully, and then hurriedly walked to the brocade guard and swept the moss on the wall with a broom that hindered writing.

And Wang Si looked at the wall and the black letters on the wall like a fool, and of course the building behind the wall that made his legs tremble, the color of this building was obviously changing in his vision, and even seemed to be far away......

That's the thirty acres of land he rented!

That was after the third uncle's father was admitted to the Jinshi, he bought and half received from the Xuanzhou Wei commander who came to the door to slap him! And not only his thirty acres, but what he knew bought a thousand acres together, not only him, but the vast majority of their clan knew about it.

But......

That's his third uncle!

That's the patriarch!
