Chapter Seventy-One

Yang Shangjing and the old farmer Hu Kan's angry kung fu fished out four black households who did not have a household registration from these people, and one or two of them were in their twenties.

"This relationship is good, the Ming Dynasty version of the superborn guerrillas, this is not a problem of giving birth to boys and girls, it is purely tax evasion." Yang Shangjing followed these four people, and his heart was also quite complicated.

These are all poor people, one or two pitiful, peasant-style cunning is just to escape some taxes and make his family live a better life, if he usually doesn't care about this kind of thing at all, if he sees it, it will be over if he doesn't see it, but now he wants to fight with the golden combination composed of Huang Cheng and Liu Qi, the chief bookkeeper of the county, everything that involves politics, then it must be caught, and everything must be handled strictly in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", and only in this way can Liu Qi, the main bookkeeper in charge of the county's household registration, be completely knocked down.

Looking at Huang San'er and Zhang Laoliu, whose faces were like ashes, Yang Shangjing's face remained unchanged, and he turned his head and asked, "Is the survey of the fields here over?" ”

The two contract workers in the household hurriedly stepped forward and nodded: "If you go back to the county, now that the survey has been completed, this Huang San'er is obviously unreasonable, and the land in Zhang Laoliu's house is exactly the same, and there has been no slight encroachment." ”

Yang Shangjing nodded, looked at Zhang Laoliu, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, this county has just arrived less than ten years ago, and someone has come to make the county happy, beating the drum and singing grievances?" This drum is not so easy to beat! ”

After saying this, looking around, Yang Shangjing said sharply: "Come on, take this Huang San'er to prison, and everything will be severely punished according to the "Da Ming Law"!" ”

In the feudal years, if you don't hand over the slips, you will be beaten up if you beat the drum directly, and now the blood on Huang San'er's ass has just stopped, and if you really deal with it strictly according to the law of Da Ming at this time, you will definitely be beaten to the death, Huang San'er heard this, shuddered, his body was weak, and he fainted directly, Huang Cheng next to him opened his mouth, and finally didn't dare to speak.

Now Yang Shangjing is holding a real hammer in his hand, who he wants to smash whom, and he is just holding the false name given by the local townsman, that is, a string of ellipses, and the real hammer is smashed down, except for waiting for death, he really can't think of a second result, so at this time, he can not speak without speaking, pretending to be a quail, which is more important than anything else.

After saying this, Yang Shangjing sighed, turned his head to look at Li Ji, the historian beside him, and asked solemnly: "Li Dianshi also served as a public official in the torture room, and today I will tell the county about how to judge the concealment of Dingkou in this Ming law!" ”

Not to mention these four black households, the remaining forty or so people, including the old farmers who had just been talking to Yang Shangjing about farming and farming, all knelt on the ground, and their heads were like pounding garlic, and they shouted wildly "County Zun Kaien" - the number of deserters in Zhejiang Province has reached three percent this year, and the farmers are ...... As long as he is not particularly timid, almost all of his family has hidden dingkou, and if the county magistrate investigates it directly, at least three-quarters of the county's families will be punished.

However, Li Ji, who had just obtained the power of three of the six rooms, had long been tied to Yang Shangjing, and now Yang Shangjing asked him to copy the Zhang family or the Huang family's home, he couldn't categorically refuse, but refused after hesitation.

So he opened his mouth and directly memorized the content of "Da Ming Law: Hu Law I": "All households are not attached, those who have servitude, parents have 100 rods, and those who have no servitude have 80 rods." Attached to the errand. If there is any concealment of the fact that the population of the adult is not attached, and the age is increased or decreased, and the old and the young are discarded, so as not to be served, one to three mouths, and sixty canes for the parents. Every three, plus one. A hundred rods of sin. It is not three to five mouths, and forty mouths. For every five mouths, one of the second class is added, and the rod of sin is seventy. Naturalized errand ......"

Although the "Da Ming Law" is only the legal code of the feudal farming empire, it is a written law after all, and it is not without problems logically and legally, but if you want to find loopholes in just a few articles, you have to study the law for 30 years, or see the study of Tian'er, have rich experience in arguing with the government, and at the same time have a good relationship with the chief official of the government, otherwise...... Let's play ball.

As for the litigants of the die-hard faction...... Well, the Ming Dynasty doesn't eat this set, dare to mess around, dare to roar in the court, first have a meal of water and fire sticks, and then talk about it, what are the remaining clamps, whips, and enough, when you get to the prison, as long as the cell boss says hello, you can ride a wooden donkey and be push-ups, and the thief has the taste of the rule of law in it.

Listening to Li Ji's words, Yang Shangjing narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling person on the ground: "The law of the country is like a furnace, you can be regarded as knowing the law and breaking the law, right?" Lizheng and the township elders have to check the household registration regularly, but they hide it and do not report it, even if the county can't bear it, it can't sit idly by! ”

Shaking his head, Yang Shangjing changed his words: "But at this time, it is busy with farming, and you can't let your whole family go down to the ground, after all, the law is nothing more than human feelings, come on, write down the parents of these people, and then deal with them after the summer harvest, if there are escapees during the period, they will be punished as fugitive slaves, and the whole family will sit together!" ”

If you want to establish authority in this situation, you must not only be ruthless to yourself, but also more ruthless to the subordinates, only the authority established in blood is the most stable, and the most important thing is that if you don't deal with these peasant households, he will not burn the fire to the local Lizheng and county chief bookkeepers.

But how to fight, sixty rods, forty flogging, it sounds like a number, but in fact, if you fight seriously, you are not far from death, Yang Shangjing said at this time that he wrote down the beating, and these people were relieved, there is still more than a month left in the summer harvest, and they can always find room to turn around.

Hearing Yang Shangjing's words, his voice became cold: "The lieutenant chief is negligent and the county magistrate is negligent, how can you be punished?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Huang Cheng, even Li Ji took a breath of cold air, but Uncle Zhong's face showed a smile, being an official should be so ruthless, otherwise sooner or later there will be no bones left, only by killing Li Zheng and deterring the real township sage forces behind Li Zheng, only by killing the master book and disintegrating the power structure that has been formed in the county, can we truly control a county.

Huang Cheng took a deep breath, and when he first began to endorse, he stammered a little: "Return...... Back to the county, if the long is lost in the survey, there are people who have left the household, one to five households, and fifty. For every five households, add one. A hundred rods of sin. Those who leak their mouths will be punished with one to ten mouthfuls and thirty lashes. For every 10 bites, add one. Fifty lashes for sin. The county has promoted the chief officials, the chief officials, and those who have left the household, and ten households have been flogged forty. For every 10 households, add 1 and so on. Eighty rods of sin. Whoever leaks his mouth will be punished with twenty lashes out of ten. For every 30 mouthfuls, add one. Forty lashes for sin. Those who are in the know, and are guilty of the same crime as the offender. Those who receive money will be punished with severity if they take advantage of the law. If the official has filed a case for investigation three times, he has been charged with the chief of the document, the person who has been told to do the incident, and the chief of the crime has been punished. ”
