Chapter 270: The Temptation of Mu Shouli
, flower big cow. Are you willing to marry the daughter of Zhou Xincun's family? "Sun Danhu is a rabbit and a six
"Villain,,Villain,,,willing."
"Zhou Xinshu, are you willing to marry your daughter to the Hua family?"
Zhou Xinshu struggled to straighten up from the stretcher and coughed a few times: "Hua Da Niu is also a hard-working and capable offspring, if it weren't for his Hua family's refusal to give a bride price." Why did I Zhou and Hua get into this way? ”
Sun Dan: "Hugh said that these are useless, you can say whether you are willing or unwilling." ”
Zhou Xinshu: "Naturally, I am willing." ”
"Okay, if you have no opinion, the county will decide the case."
Everyone in the hall said in unison: "But it's up to the master to decide." ”
In fact, things have come to this point, no matter what other plans the Hua and Zhou families have in their hearts, they don't dare to say a word more.
Sun Dan: "The Zhou family married their daughter to Hua Da Niu as his wife, and the Hua family took six acres of paddy fields as a dowry. Other. In the case of Han Yue injuring Zhou Xinshuto, Han Yue bears all the medical expenses. Considering that Han Yue has already become the master of the county's military room, the medical expenses will be paid from the county. Retire! ”
"Smack!" With a bang, the wood knocked on the big case.
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"
This is the end of the first case that Sun Dan adjudicated after arriving in Fangshan, and to be honest, he is still a little tired of wasting his time on such small cases. The scale of the government of the Ming Dynasty was very much like the county order of a county, and it had all the powers of public security, justice, and administration, and everything was complicated and troublesome. Unlike modern times, all day-to-day affairs are handled by the courts, public security bureaus, procuratorates, and local committees.
However, this case still gave Sun Dan some gains, at least to find a breakthrough in Qingzhang land.
The Hua family's land was returned, but the Guo family must still have hidden a lot of land and people. It is necessary to continue digging along this breakthrough.
Anyone who dares to offend my Sun Dan will not end well.
Out of respect for his deputy, Sun Dan personally went to the county Chengmu Shouli's house.
Mu Shou Rei is reading a book in the study. I heard that the new magistrate Sun Dan personally came to visit. was taken aback, thinking that the matter of going to Guo Pu to ventilate and report the news had been exposed, and his face suddenly changed greatly. I don't care about taking off my clothes. Kimono lay down on the bed. Pretend to be sick.
Seeing Sun Dan, he also saluted weakly: "Xiaguan Mu Shouli has seen Master Sun." ”
"You don't have to get up, you don't have to get up." Sun Dan pressed Mu Shouli on the bed and said, "When I go to Fangshan, the local situation is that my eyes are black. I heard that Master Mu has been a county undertaker in Fangshan for three years, and the local situation must be very familiar. In the future, I will have to remind the official a lot.
Seeing that Sun Dan didn't come to ask for the guilt, Mu Shouli breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and said, "That's natural." That's nature. "He's also a shrewd man. At least Sun Dan has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. When a new official takes office, he will definitely have to burn a few fires. As Sun Dan said, he went to Fangshan, and he had no concept of Fangshan's affairs, and if he wanted to make a move, he really had to rely on himself.
Sure enough, Mu Shouli guessed correctly, and after Sun Dan exchanged a few words with him, he talked about today's incident
Child.
Mu Shouli had a ghost in his heart, and only said: "My lord, the mirror is hanging high, and everyone is convinced to judge the case like this." It's just that,"
"Just what?" Sun Dan's smile looked innocent.
Mu Shu dagger tested Sun Dan: "Guo Pu is the first haoshen in this county, the government levies grain and Ding, and the people complain, and I have to let him cooperate from the side, if he is angered, I am afraid that it will be a little inconvenient for me to do things in the future."
Sun Dan's eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "Through the Hua Da Niu case, the current Guo family in this county is suspected of hiding land and population. Originally, it is understandable that a famous tyrant has some land and population attached to it, as long as it is not too excessive. But as far as the county knows. Only Guo Po has more than 10,000 acres of land under his name, and more than half of them are broken and attached. According to this official, Guo Pu has hidden at least 6,000 acres of land and more than 100 household registrations. This is still Guo Pu's family, and Fangshan is originally in Shangxian. All the families followed his example, and summed it up. That's a staggering number. Over the course of a year, at least ninety percent of the taxes levied by the imperial court in Fangshan were lost to private pockets. This will not be tolerated. ”
Mu Shouli felt a stirring in his heart, "What does the adult mean?" ”
Sun Dan nodded, took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Mu Shouli.
Mu Shouli took it: "What is this?" ”
Sun Dan: "This is the confession of the Hua and Zhou families." Identifying the fields and people who have been attached to Guo Pu's family in the past few years. The official calculated, the Hua and Zhou families, as well as several nearby villages, have given the Guo family a total of more than 600 acres of good paddy fields in recent years. There is evidence, and the Guo family should be allowed to withdraw. ”
Mu Shouli became nervous: "The confessions of the Guanghua and Zhou families don't explain the problem. ”
Sun Dan: "When the Hua and Zhou families attached the land to the Guo family, they signed another contract with Guo Pu, and the contract said that the land belonged to the Guo family in name. The Hua family also has to pay you a certain amount of rent every year, but in fact, the ownership of Jiang Shidi is the Hua family, and the land deed is also owned by Hua Tang, and the six daughters have this contract in hand, and Guo Pu can't get rid of it. You said. Am I right? ”
Mu Shouli was a little stunned: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan has heard of this kind of thing, but."
Sun Dan, "Does Master Mu have any questions?"
Mu Shouli continued to ask the same question: "Do you really want to let Guo Pu withdraw from the land where he is hiding?" ”
Sun Dan: "With this idea, Fangshan is a county, with more than 100,000 households, and only a few thousand taels of taxes per year. Isn't it a joke to say it? Since this county is here to be the magistrate, it has to share the worries of the monarch's father. To contribute to the imperial court, we must not let the taxes of the imperial court fall into the pockets of private individuals. He Guo Pu is the first heroic god in Fangshan. He also served as a county undertaker, knew the law and violated the law, and the crime was added to the first degree. ”
Sun Dan said righteously and strictly, and Mu Shouli sneered in his heart: Do you Sun Dan want to take Guo Po to open the knife, do you want to work in this county magistrate position, can that master be offended? As soon as Guo pounced, the heroes of Fangshan stretched out their lips and died cold, and they didn't come to trouble you? However, it's okay to do this, when the time comes, all the townsfolk will join forces to see how long you can work, and it will be cheaper for me. Well, we should make this matter bigger and involve all the Fangshan landlords in this whirlpool.
Mu Shouli deliberately pretended to be convinced. didn't mention Guo Pu's name, and arched his hand: "My lord is right, the lawlessness in Fangshan is really good."
Sun Dan smiled: "Master Mu can teach me any way." ”
Mu Shouzhi said enthusiastically: "Your Excellency can send people to mention the broken settlements that have been attached to the major tycoons in the past few years for questioning, record their confessions, and take the contracts and land deeds in their hands, as long as there is evidence in hand, I am not afraid that they will not spit out the land." "If you want to play, you can play big, it depends on whether you Sun Dan can take the bait.
He said excitedly: "Lord Sun, according to the lower officials, if the entire land and population hidden by Fangshan Haoshen are passed, at least 60,000 to 100,000 mu of land can be cleared. Tens of thousands of people. In this way, the imperial court could increase the tax revenue by 20,000 taels of silver every year. In this way, Fangshan can become the largest tax-paying county in Shuntianfu after Tongzhou. When the time comes, Lord Sun's outstanding political achievements can be heard by the heavens, and the official is here to wish the adults a prosperous future. ”
In Mu Shouli's view, Sun Dan is a stunned young man in the political arena. It is undeniable that he achieved the position of the seven-rank life official in the year of the weak crown, in addition to the fact that this person is indeed talented and is a famous talent in the world, he must have a certain background and backer in the court.
However, no matter how powerful his backer is, can he be bigger than Guo Hou and Mao Xiang?
An official like Sun Dan, a young man with ambitions. I am anxious to do things for quick success, and I am eager in my heart. There is a greed for fame that ordinary people can't reach.
If you can induce him to make a mistake, let him make Fangshan out of an uncontrollable mess, and make a mistake, don't think about turning over in this life.
If you want to make Fangshan chaotic, the best way is to persuade Sun Dan to carry out the matter of Qingzhang Land to the end. Offend all the landlords. When the time comes, without his Mu Shouli, those gentlemen will not let Sun Dan go.
It's a pity that Sun Dan's shrewdness is not what Mu Shouli can imagine, and he has the insight of this era. In Sun Dan's view, although the land of Qingzhang is a good government, it can be attacked too widely, and he has to offend the nobles, scholars and officials in the world, so he is not willing to do this kind of difficult and not very good thing!
At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng's reform was because he offended the ruling class, and after his death, not only was his house raided, but even his body was dug up from the ground.
I came to the Ming Dynasty because I was rich and glorious. This kind of thing of sharing worries for the emperor, let's avoid it.
Besides, even if the landlords' land is cleared, it will only increase the tax of tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, how can I show my Sun Dan's means?
In any era, the primary industry, that is, agriculture, has never been a profitable business.
Actually, by the late Ming Dynasty. The proportion of the purely agricultural tax in the imperial court's tax revenue also gradually declined. In the Jiangnan Economic Development Area. Agricultural taxes are no longer the backbone of government. For example, the germ of capitalism has sprouted in some corners of the world, and all Sun Dan needs to do is to seize this step first. One step ahead. Eat the dragon and eat the tiger, one step behind. Touching the pussy's ass.
Sun Dan didn't expect this Mu Shouli to be more radical than himself, but seeing him so excited, he had a little more doubt in his heart.
It is said that the land of Qingzhang is a thankless task, and in the eyes of the ancients, it is completely against the tide, but this person is so enthusiastic, it seems a little strange.
Tamu County is not Sun Dan's person, so he can't be so enthusiastic about Sun Dan's new policy.
If you do something abnormal, you are a demon.
Sun Dan paid attention, and then he saw that this Ben Shouli was lying on the bed, and he didn't even take off his clothes.
I was looking at him with a red face and a strong spirit. And what is it like, a patient with a cold.
