Chapter 142 We have a tradition of the emperor falling into the water
It's actually easy to get rid of this burden of the clan.
Mainly after being raised as pigs for hundreds of years, these descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang have basically been raised to be slaughtered pigs, they have no ability to resist at all, to put it bluntly, a group of refugees were thrown into several settlements in the imperial city, and they were raised in it according to the feudal state to which they belonged, waiting for the imperial court to eat and wait for death, and occasionally go out under the banner of the clan, just like those yellow and red belts when we were dying in the Qing Dynasty in the original history, extorting some extra money or something.
In that case, why raise them?
Both Yang Qing and Zhang Yan definitely have no feelings for them.
Throw them all into Huainan, Jianghan, and southern Sichuan, which are no-man's lands caused by the war, and cultivate fields.
In the name of it, it is said to be transferred to them.
Their original fiefdom is gone, and the Queen Mother can't look at them and ignore them, so give them another fief in the area controlled by the imperial court, so that they can continue to be the same as in the past.
For example, King Fu.
His old fief was 20,000 hectares, which was roughly equivalent to more than 1,300 square kilometers, which was the official fief assigned by the imperial court that he had obtained in the past, and these lands were exempt from taxation, to be precise, to pay taxes to him but not to the imperial court, then these were also given to him. Dividing the equivalent of 20,000 hectares of territory to him in the south of Huoqiu is considered to be the transfer of the Tang Domain, anyway, it is not uncommon for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to move the seal, and the family members of the Fu Domain who are in Nanjing, no matter what the title is, they all go there.
But there's no one there!
It was washed by Zhang Xianzhong once, and it became the front line, and the remaining ordinary people ran out and there was no one at all!
That's the court's!
Do we have to be responsible for hiring people for you if we give you a fief? Figure it out yourself, anyway, the fief is given to you, you can do whatever you like, and as for the Fu Domain, there are also a large number of civilian fields obtained by various means......
That's the court!
That's not the fief given by the imperial court, I think I'm unlucky to lose it, I have lost a lot in this troubled world, and it's not just your own family, if you want to be entangled in this problem, then the imperial court has lost half of the land of the Ming Dynasty, and who are you looking for? In short, how much is your original fiefdom, then I will make up how much I will give you now, but not for one person, but for the entire family, so that 1,300 square kilometers will completely throw out the burden of the Fu Domain, and it can also fill in a piece of the original no man's land, where the west is the reclamation area of the Guanning Army, and the east is the reclamation area of the original Liu Liangzuo's subordinates, plus the Fu Domain just makes up for the unmanned belt along the Huai.
If you don't go, you can't do it.
If the vassal king refuses to give in, do you want to rebel?
The rest of the feudal domains and so on.
But there are still vassal kings alive, and if there is no vassal king alive, then there is no need to seal it again, but according to the area of the official fief of the domain to which he originally belonged, according to the title he originally had, it can be divided from generation to generation, and finally get the area of the fief he should obtain, and then divide a piece of land to cultivate the land by himself. For example, the Fengguo lieutenant of the Qing Domain, who resisted in Linqing before, can take the original fiefdom area of the Qing Domain, so that it will be split down from generation to generation, and the last few thousand is his share, and the imperial court will make up for these shares for him, and he will definitely not count all the Qing Domain's on his head.
That's crazy!
For example, those who were sealed when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, if there were many children and grandchildren and there were still lieutenants of Fengguo who did not die, it was possible to get a hundred and ten acres of fiefs, just like the thousands of people in the Zhou Domain divided those fiefs, it was really possible for a Fengguo lieutenant to be one hundred and ten acres.
And its original price was 200 stones.
And these two hundred stones must be at least a village's tax, and now Yang Qing's one hundred and ten acres of land can be distributed, and it is also one hundred and ten acres of wasteland, I have to say that it is really shameless, but those clans have no ability to resist, compared to those who were killed and destroyed, they are lucky to be alive. Besides, the two hundred stones are actually just theoretical, and the imperial court can't pay the military salary, no matter how stupid Chongzhen is, he won't really care about the life and death of those relatives who are separated by an unknown number of generations, and they can still be in arrears.
In the end, Zhou Fan grew to more than 2,000 men.
If it is really distributed in full, the princes and county kings of the Zhou Domain will be ranked all the way up to the lieutenant of Fengguo, I am afraid that it will add up to millions of stones, and there are more than 2,000 women in the Zhou Domain
It is simply not possible to pay the full amount.
In fact, there are many people who have a difficult life in those distant clans, and they can't do anything else, just like Zhou Fan, they have to report when they go out of the city, and now Yang Qing can be regarded as completely liberating them, even if they lead troops, for example, the Fengguo lieutenant of Qing Fan can be an official, and King Tang can also lead troops.
As for the surviving feudal domains in Jiangnan, this was tax-exempt according to the fiefdoms they actually owned, but outside of this range, they themselves acquired them in other ways, and after the completion of the meridian boundary and the determination of the area, these lands were taxed in the same way, and these lands themselves were taxed according to the law, but they were concealed in various ways.
But there will be no such thing in the future.
In short, this is Yang Qing's plan to clean up these clans, as for the next he doesn't need to care about those trivial matters, Shi Kefa is the real Nanjing stay, Yang Qing is just officially appointed by his little lover as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and his marquis has also been confirmed, Zhongyong Bo has officially become Zhongyong Marquis, and he is still not hereditary. In fact, Chongzhen's later seals are not hereditary, it can be seen from the title name, Zuo Liangyu's Ning Nanbo, Huang Degong's Jing Nanbo, etc., to put it bluntly, is an honorary title, including Yang Qing's loyal and brave uncle, the hereditary earl Chongzhen only sealed one, that is, his father-in-law Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, but now Zhou Kui has also been taken away.
As for the rest, what Yang Qing has to do is very simple, that is, wait.
Waiting for those noble hands.
"You said that when Emperor Daxing fell into the water, you saw something moving under the water?"
Yang Qing looked at Princess Kunxing and said.
He massaged Zhang Yan until late at night, until the Queen Mother fell asleep happily, and then hurriedly ran to comfort his little lover, now Yang Qing has temporarily lived in the palace under Zhang Yan's order, of course, not living in Hougong, there are places to live on both sides of the three halls in front. After all, now that it is an eventful season, this palace must be personally in charge, and even Yuanyuan will soon move in to serve her godmother, Zhang Yan also knows very well that Wei Guogong and those people will not give up, these nobles have domestic slaves, and it is not impossible to buy some thugs and even the army to raid the palace.
This kind of thing has not been uncommon since ancient times.
Zhang Yan also has to be careful.
And as long as Yang Qing sits in the palace, there will basically be no danger, otherwise she doesn't even dare to guarantee the brocade guards and eunuchs in the palace, these brocade guards on duty in the palace also have a large number of original Nanjing brocade guards, as well as those eunuchs and eunuchs in the original Nanjing Palace, they are inextricably linked with the nobles, especially the former itself is composed of nobles, so Yang Qing first blocked the palace when he convened the representatives of the four people.
"I, I don't see it very clearly, but under those lotus leaves and duckweed, there are indeed two very vague shadows, and the lotus leaves have been shaking, and my father sank to the bottom of the water immediately after falling into the water, as if something was pulling him."
Princess Kunxing said in a low voice.
"That's right!"
Yang Qing sneered.
That's right, it can already be determined that Chongzhen's fall into the water is artificial, knowing that he went to Xuanwu Lake to find a few good water dives, with blown-out pig urine bubbles and other ventilation bags, or bamboo tubes and reed pipes and the like, it doesn't matter if a good diver is lying underwater for an hour in such a season. And Chongzhen's route back to Taipingzhou is fixed, and the speed of those small boats is even not as fast as a human swim! It was found that Chongzhen immediately dived directly underwater with pig urine bubbles and did not have to show his face, it was enough to push those small boats underwater, it was estimated that the underwater assassins originally wanted to put him to death, but those accompanying escorts arrived too quickly, and they were afraid that they would not be able to get out and simply give up and re-enter the underwater to hide.
This kind of thing is not so high-end, Yang Qing's brocade guards can do it a lot.
In other words, there were even original submersibles in this era.
There is it in the heavenly creations.
And the pearl divers along the coast can easily dive underwater for a few minutes.
It is easy to find a group of diving masters here, and for those nobles who have mastered the defense of Nanjing and have lived here for more than 200 years, it is not worth mentioning that it is a trivial matter to let them dive into Xuanwu Lake.
"Was my father killed?"
Princess Kunxing said.
"The Ming Dynasty plus Emperor Daxing, there have already been three such deaths, Wuzong, your uncle, Emperor Daxing, so do you think this will be a real accident? I can already guess who did it, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I'll make them pay. ”
Yang Qing said.
"How dare they kill the king?"
Kun Xinggong said with tears in his eyes.
It is said that a sixteen-year-old girl has lost all her parents in more than a year, which can indeed be described as miserable.
"There is nothing to dare in front of interests, let alone assassinate an emperor, even if you rebel and destroy the royal family, how many royal families in history have been finally destroyed by others, from now on you have to remember that no one else will be really good to you except me, everyone else will deceive you, try to snatch power from you, try to cheat them out of what they want from you, and even if necessary, they will try to let you fall into the water like your father, and you don't have to do anything, Just leave them to me. ”
Yang Qing said and took her into his arms.
Princess Kunxing's face rested against his chest, and behind them was Chongzhen's Zigong......
There is also a pair of eyes peeping next to the Azusa Palace.
Princess Kunxing glanced at her sister and quickly left Yang Qing with a red face.
