Chapter 179: Ancestral System and Reality

At the same time, the Yamen Yimen Gate slowly opened, and Yang Lin, accompanied by the prison guard Qian Bangxin, the prefect Fan Wenguang and others, walked out of the gate, and saw Qian Jinyin kneeling on the ground with a face full of disdain.

The trial was presided over by the imperial historian Qian Bangqi, and it was held on the street for justice.

During the trial, he didn't ask whether he violated the ancestral system, but only heard that the identity of Qian Jinyin and others was the property of the family, because the identity of the scholar was exempted from taxes in the past, and now the property that needs to be paid.

As soon as Chen Jinyin and others wanted to debate whether to violate the ancestral system, they were reprimanded by the servants, and in the end, they were deprived of their fame, fined most of their family property, and sentenced themselves to labor camps for reform.

After hearing that the old man and the old man Xiucai were locked in a prisoner's car, everyone was very surprised, and some people even put down their work and came to see this strange thing.

In the distance, a servant beat gongs and drums and shouted slogans: "Come and see, the old man is greedy and swept the floor."

The Qian family has a wealth of 10,000 acres of fertile land, and at the time of the national crisis, they are unwilling to pay land and business taxes like ordinary people, and force adults to raise taxes and taxes to ordinary people.

Come and see, the people are not self-sufficient to encroach on people's property and forcibly occupy thousands of acres of people's land, and they don't want to pay any taxes, and they want to pass on the taxes to the people. ”

The officials in front of them beat gongs and drums, and the sharp voices of the officials in the back kept shouting loudly, and everyone talked about it, and everyone looked disdainful.

In the Ming Dynasty, because scholars enjoyed many privileges, all taxes were imposed on innocent people, and the common people were miserable.

Qian Jinyin is undoubtedly one of the representatives, and thousands of acres of fertile land do not accept grain. Although I want to quibble now, the people around me are full of disdain.

Along the way, many people whispered and scolded people like Qian Jinyin, who were insatiably greedy, and lost face to their ancestors and scholars.

Some people loudly praise the New Deal, which is what others say from time to time, but they have actually experienced.

In the past, the Taiping Shengshi Tianfu levied 2 or 3 cents of silver per mu, but now it is only 6 cents of silver, and in the past, Ding Fu was 5 cents of silver, but now it is only 1 cent and 2 cents of silver.

The more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, and some people boldly grabbed a handful of cow dung and smashed it on the prisoner car, and what was surprising was that the officials did not stop it at all.

Everyone laughed, and many people did the same, deducting all kinds of dirty things on Qian Jinyin and others.

People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold clothes, in the past, wearing gorgeous clothes was quite gentle, but now the brocade seal is unkempt and dirty, and the whole person is worse than a beggar, which probably really responds to the sentence that the phoenix in the water is not as good as **.

Qian Jinyin and other scholars were taken to various places to parade through the streets with shackles, and above the lobby of Shunqing Mansion, everyone sat separately, and everyone looked different on both sides.

Yang Lin's heart was full of joy, these scholars said at every turn that they violated the ancestral system and the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they still had many concerns about it in the past, but now Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered scholars in Dabei Temple, Zeng Ying and others robbed the people, the lesser of two evils, he didn't need to be polite to these people, he wanted to tear off the other party's disguise, and not give the other party a handle to attack.

Qian Bangqi's face was full of uncertainties, although he tried the case as the military supervisor and the imperial historian, although he rationally recognized the many benefits of the new deal, but after all, everyone was in the same vein, and he also secretly had lingering feelings about Yang Lin's methods.

After thinking about it, Qian Bangqi stepped forward and said: "Qian Jinyin and others are ignorant, adults must not be insulted because of these small nights, you can let the other party parade in the street for a few days, and then release it, so it also shows the tolerance of adults." ”

His brows furrowed, and Yang Lin smiled: "Qian Yushi, then tell me, which of these measures is wrong?" Then tell me, which of these measures is not beneficial to the country and the people, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future?

In the past, the bazaar was controlled by the local ruffians, who took advantage of the looting and plundered a large amount of wealth, and they bribed and accepted bribes and colluded with officials and businessmen.

In the past, the local government fought for the mines, and many mine owners got rich overnight and did evil in the local area, bullying and dominating the market, and the emperor wanted to solve this problem since the Wanli period. We are only leviing 1 into a mineral levy on the mine owners now, not only does it not have many drawbacks of the Wanli Emperor's levy of the mineral levy, but also the local government has increased a large income, which can completely benefit the people.

Also, in the past, Tianfu paddy field was levied to 2 buckets and 3 buckets of rice per mu, but now it is only 6 buckets of rice, and in the past, Ding Fu received 5 yuan of silver and 6 yuan of silver, and now it has been restored to the 1 yuan and 2 cents of silver set by Taizu.

Qian Yushi, you read a lot and have good knowledge, tell me, do these violate the ancestral system?

If Gaozu was alive, would he establish a township office to collect merchant taxes and mine taxes, or should he pay three salaries? ”

Everyone was indifferent for a while, and Qian Bangqi sighed for a long time: "The first emperor was honest and diligent, and he wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty.

However, the addition of three salaries is far from being customized by the imperial court, and the first emperor has no way to increase the three salaries.

If the adults had been born a few years earlier and implemented such measures to enrich the treasury, it is expected that the first emperor would not have paid three more salaries.

Despite this, Taizu Shilu does explicitly oppose Bai Ding and oppose two more cashiers. ”

Ouyang Zhi shook his head and said: "Lord Qian is right, Taizu is against Bai Ding, but everyone in the world knows that Taizu started from the grass, and before he started his army, he traveled all over the world and knew the suffering of the people.

After Taizu became emperor, he implemented light punishment.

If Taizu knew that so many people's fat and ointment had been stolen by those wealthy and local ruffians like a cornucopia in various bazaars, what do you think Taizu would think?

As Lord Qian said, Taizu is against Bai Ding, and now the government has set up errand servants according to the population under the jurisdiction of each township office, convenient transportation, and the size of the market, and these are no longer Bai Ding. ”

Qian Bangqi's face was full of surprise, how could there be such a way of justification, but he didn't dare to oppose it openly, just persuaded Yang Lin to treat the reader well.

Thinking of the innovations of the past dynasties, the most successful is the reform and development of Shang Yang and Deng Gong, Shang Yang implemented the law of domineering, and Deng Gong implemented the law of the royal road.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin didn't say anything about death, glared at him and said: "Mr. Ouyang, I have always said that now the world is in turmoil, there are rogues making chaos inside, there are Jiannu occupying the north and south Erjing, and there are more than ten provinces in the world.

The various measures we have implemented in a corner of northern Sichuan are extraordinary measures in extraordinary times.

In the future, after the world is peaceful and the United States is unified, how will the imperial court of course implement the order, but now it is an extraordinary time to do extraordinary things. ”

If it is said that the college entrance examination in the 90s was a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, Qian Bangqi, Zhao Sixuan and others were selected as one of the ten thousand, of course, they knew the many benefits of the New Deal, and even compared it with Shang Ying and other people who changed the law in history.

Historically, Shang Dynasty practiced the law of kingship, but this is not the case today. Now I bring it up, I just don't want to go too far.

The people sitting on the top were in a clear mood, since this was the case, Yang Lin also agreed with Qian Bangji's suggestion, that is, to give Qian Jinyin a way to live, leave a few acres of thin land for his mother, and release him back after three years of re-education through labor.
