Chapter 607: The First Shot of Datang's Land Reform
"Since you can't use knives and tear your face, coercion can't only be a temptation, so I have to talk to them."
Everyone waited for a long time and didn't expect Bai Fan to say this, Li Er shook his head and said: "Jian Zhi, don't mess around, we are all at a loss, will you be soft with a word?" ”
Bai Fan laughed, "If you can't try it, you'll know, the immortal food is in our hands, and now we have bargaining chips, I'll talk to them."
However, the nouveau riche side of the DPRK and China will be handed over to Your Majesty, and since the land reform is going to be carried out, we people must set an example and take the lead in paying the grain tax. ”
Everyone shook their heads in unison, they just said that they would die for His Majesty, how could they regret it at this time?
Wei Chigong laughed and said, "Isn't it just to pay grain tax?" In the past, the output in the field was small, and I was afraid that I would not be able to help the old brothers if I paid the grain tax, and now the yield per mu is several thousand catties, even if I hand over ninety percent, the yield per mu is higher than in the past, why not pay? ”
"Oh? Brother Hei, why don't you set the share of the nobles' grain at ninety? ”
Forehead......
Wei Chigong stopped talking for a while, ninety percent, isn't that a human life?
Li Er and the others laughed and said: "Jingde, Jian Zhi scares you, when the nobles pay the grain, they are the same as the common people, just one of ten taxes, and when the country is in trouble, it is only ten taxes and two or three, even if you dare to pay ninety percent of the grain, the court will not dare to accept it, and you can't let it go!" ”
Everyone in the council hall discussed the preliminary plan, and after retreating from the dynasty, they dispersed, and Bai Fan followed Li Jiancheng to the Jin Palace, not for anything else, just to ask to see his mother-in-law, the princess Zheng of Jin.
Zheng came out of the back house and saw his son-in-law passing over the house, and greeted him warmly: "Jianzhi, you haven't been here for a long time, and you thought you forgot to have my mother-in-law." ”
"How could the son-in-law forget his mother-in-law, but he was really ashamed of the training, so he didn't dare to come to the door."
"Forget it, you have a heart, San Lang has always been stubborn, I also heard about the transportation of grain in Shu Road back then, the man is worthy of the world, but I can't bear it in my heart, I don't blame you.
I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm not in a hurry to go back, I'll go and tell the back kitchen to cook some of your favorite food, and you can talk to your husband about official business. ”
Saying that, the Zheng family was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but Bai Fan hurriedly stopped, "Mother-in-law, there is no official business today, and the son-in-law is here to ask for help from his mother-in-law." ”
"Oh? I am a woman, what do I know about military affairs? ”
"You are not an ordinary woman, it is a matter of five surnames and seven families, the son-in-law has something to ask his mother-in-law to pull the strings, I want to make an appointment to meet the patriarch of the Zheng family."
When Zheng heard this, he was shocked, his son-in-law has always been at odds with the five surnamed seven families, and he cleaned up three of the seven families, why, now he is going to do it to his mother's family again?
"Jane, you don't want to......
The patriarch of the Zheng clan is my eldest brother and Ping'er's uncle, you ......"
Bai Fan smiled dumbly, what is this, "Mother-in-law misunderstood, how could Fan do something to your mother's family?" It's a good thing to rest assured. ”
"What's good? Let's hear it first. ”
Bai Fan had no choice but to tell the Zheng family about the land reform, who knew that the Zheng family immediately stood up and pointed at Bai Fan and scolded: "You little conscienceless, and you still say that you don't want to do anything to the Zheng family?" Do you know how many people we have to feed as a big family? If you don't pay the grain tax, there are still people who don't have enough to eat, let alone pay 20% more? You're trying to slaughter 20% of our population!
Get out, don't come again, it's a shame that my mother treats you as my own son. ”
Li Jiancheng saw it from the side and didn't say a word, and when he saw that his wife was mad and Bai Fan was scolded, he had to stand up and persuade: "Madam, Jane's heart is for the country, you can listen to it!" ”
"It's all you who are behind your back, you are the head of the household, the matter of collecting grain must be your attention, you don't dare to speak, let your son-in-law open his mouth for you, the old lady married you blindly, and wants to force me to death Xingyang Zheng, you will force me to death first, you dare to make a move on my mother's family, I will die for you immediately."
……
Bai Fan and Li Jiancheng were dumbfounded, watching Zheng scold and walk away, Bai Fan said weakly: "Father-in-law, isn't my mother-in-law from everyone's beautiful background?" Why is this scolding pride not weaker than my aunt's. ”
"Well, maybe they've been together for a long time, and they've been edified." Li Jiancheng said embarrassedly.
Bai Fan thought in his heart, I believe that you have a ghost, can this thing still be edified? Then why don't you see her being more gentle with her aunt's red breeze?
had no choice but to go home and tell his wife Li Wanping about the matter, and Li Wanping was also worried, "Husband, you won't really ......"
Bai feels that his head is a little big, why is a woman's first reaction like this? Is he a ruthless and bloodthirsty person?
"Where does Madam want to go, in the past, I didn't pay grain tax because the output of the field couldn't keep up, and now I don't pay grain tax for a few thousand catties per mu, so I can't say it, and this matter is related to the secondary breeding of fairy grain, so the land must be reformed, which is not a bad thing for the family, so I want to talk to them."
And I have a bad reputation in the five surnames and seven families, they all avoid me, I thought my mother-in-law could match the bridge, but I didn't expect that I have been married for more than 20 years, and she is still close to her mother. ”
Li Wanping said with a smile: "In this case, if my mother doesn't go, let's go directly, the patriarch of the Zheng clan is my maternal uncle, and it is natural for my niece to take her husband to visit, but first say okay, you are not allowed to come nonsense." ”
Bai Fan was overjoyed, or his daughter-in-law was close to him, and after several assurances, Li Wanping finally agreed to take him to the Zheng clan in Xingyang.
At the same time, the palace of the Chang'an Council has long been spread to the ears of the nobles of the great family, and land reform, a new word, has also become familiar to everyone.
Although I don't understand what it means, those who are familiar with history books naturally remember that there were corresponding measures for acres of land in ancient times, and it will not be bad.
For a while, the atmosphere inside and outside the government and the opposition became tense again, and it was rumored through the grapevine that Lantian Hou Baifan was going to preside over the Datang reform.
The common people don't know much about it, but people with some insight and status are all worried after hearing it.
The ancient law changes are all accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, and the law changes are all wise and courageous, and the sword is added to the body without avoidance, even if it is sacrificed for the change, now it is the turn of the Tang Dynasty, this strong minister will be the Marquis of Lantian?
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the identity and strength of the Marquis of Lantian is far beyond the ancient law change ministers, and the process of changing the law is accompanied by the alternation of the old and new forces, the new forces replace the old forces if the law change is successful, the new forces replace the old forces, the winner is the king and the loser Kou, if the law change is successful, the old forces are often the one who sheds the most blood and sacrifices.
Combined with Bai Fan's past, basically everyone agrees that he will succeed in changing the law, so the matter is simply visible, Bai Fan's change is equivalent to the bloodshed and sacrifice of the nobles of the family, so how can it not be worrying?
The major families have already urgently posted to prepare for an interview, after all, by the time Bai Fan raised the butcher's knife, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Who knew that not long after the news came out, a letter of worship from the Marquis of Lantian Mansion was sent to the Zheng clan in Xingyang, the Zheng clan was shocked, opened it and looked at it, and frowned: "The Marquis of Lantian and his wife Ping'an are going to visit my Zheng family, although it is under the banner of provincial relatives, but Bai Fan's intention could not be clearer, and the order will go down, and all the elders of the Zheng clan will come to the main hall to discuss the matter, and after preparing the big gift, the middle door will be opened to welcome the Lantian Hou and his wife." ”
