A day later, news followed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The first was the Qingzhou Mansion, which expressed its willingness to submit to the Chinese Empire. Immediately afterwards, the governor of Shandong, Chong'en, sent someone to bring news, saying that he had promised to submit to the Chinese Empire on behalf of the officials of Shandong, and together with the Yansheng Mansion, he sent a letter to Beijing, expressing his independence from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and requesting annexation.

Kong Fanhao is overjoyed!

As for the officials in Dengzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion and other places who did not know how to promote, Kong Fanhao mobilized the Shandong Shilin forces, verbally and penally attacked, and soon they would fall into a situation where they could not even be officials, and finally sent troops to the new emperor, and they would definitely surrender one after another.

Thinking about it this way, it is easy to achieve your goal, and the rest is to wait for the reward of the new emperor.

I believe that soon there will be a decree. Just like the table that his ancestors presented to the Manchu Emperor who had just entered the customs, the next day, he rushed to Qufu with a hurry of 800 miles and issued a holy decree of reward to them in the Yansheng Mansion. And the prefect of Qufu and the prefect of Yanzhou are also from his Confucian Mansion. Therefore, Kong Fanhao hoped that by tomorrow at the latest, Beijing would send a holy decree to reward himself, and perhaps, he would also reward the Yan Sheng Mansion with a rich fortune and even a fertile fief.

That night, in the Yansheng Mansion, Kong Fanhao, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep, summoned the rest of the Yan Lumeng surnames, who were also attached to the saint and hereditary doctors of the Five Classics, to discuss how to congratulate the new emperor, expand the Confucian Temple, and ask for more fiefs.

"Brothers, how many surnames do you have to wait, you are also a hereditary doctor of the Five Classics, attached to my ancestor of the Kong family, if it is time to change the dynasty again, do you know how to choose?" Kong Fanhao sat on the Taishi chair in the center, looking like the world was under his control.

Dr. Wujing, surnamed Yan, bowed as a disciple and smiled at Kong Fanhao: "Yan Shenggong, with you and me, grasp the direction, I am not afraid at all, anyway, follow you, it's right!" ”

Dr. Wujing, surnamed Meng, also complimented: "Yes, Yan Shenggong's vision is the most accurate. Since we are optimistic about this Chinese Empire, we will follow Yan Shenggong and go all out to submit to help appease the Manchu officials and regimental training in this place. Presumably, there will be no shortage of rewards in the future! ”

Kong Fanhao laughed and said, "Now the entire Shandong has basically been persuaded by this prince to surrender to the empire!" Even, Lord Chong'en has jointly signed a letter to the new emperor with this duke, saying that the ministers surrendered. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward this father. ”

Dr. Wujing, surnamed Lu, immediately said with great envy: "Yan Shenggong is really a blessing." However, when he heard that the new emperor had raised troops from southern Hunan, he had obtained the support of those mud legs by confiscating the properties of the landlords and squires who owned a lot of land. I don't know if I will do this now that I am on the throne as an emperor. Yan Shenggong, there are 200,000 acres of your six cantonments alone, so many fields, they won't be confiscated, right? ”

The words of Dr. Wujing surnamed Lu made the rest of the people suddenly panic, and they all looked at Kong Fanhao.

They knew that although they also had thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land, they were too far away from this Yan Shenggong. It is not appropriate to use the phrase "the little witch sees the big witch", and it can only be described by words like "the young witch sees the old devil".

As people who are more familiar with the Yan Sheng Gong, they naturally know that the Confucian Mansion where the Yan Sheng Gong is located has a large amount of land, which can be divided into four categories: tun land, factory land, official village, and private village according to the type of field. Among them, the fields of tundi are the most abundant.

And the tun land of this Yan Sheng Gong Mansion has six tun lands roughly calculated.

Located in Yuncheng, Shouzhang, Fanxian, Wenshang, Zouxian, Yangqiao and many other prefectures and counties, collectively known as Yunchengtun, there are more than 60,000 acres of land;

Located in Juyetun in Juye County, it has more than 50,000 acres of land;

Pingyangtun, which ranks third, is located in Juye, Caozhou, Dingtao, Puzhou and other places, with nearly 50,000 acres of land;

The fourth Dushantun, with 30,000 acres of land, is located in Yutai and Zou counties;

The last Dongatun and Zhuhetun also have nearly 10,000 acres of land respectively, which are located in Dong'e County, Ziyang and Jining.

In this way, the tun land alone is indeed more than 200,000 mu, as Dr. Lu surnamed Wujing said. What's more, there are many industries such as factories, official villages, and private farms on the Yansheng Mansion, and no one knows the specific number of private villages, but they know that there are at least 50,000 acres.

Therefore, when the emperor of the newly established Chinese Empire was accustomed to confiscating the land of the gentry and wealthy households, they were a little alarmed and looked at Kong Fanhao, a particularly large landowner, to see what he could do.

Kong Fanhao smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Everyone, don't panic. As long as we submit to the Emperor earlier, it is too late for His Majesty the Emperor to reward us, so how can he confiscate our fields? However, what Senior Brother Lu said also reminded my father, it is better to do this, my father will endure the pain and cut his love, and offer 10,000 acres of land to the empire. ”

Kong Fanhao was secretly sneering in his heart, how can you who can only rely on my Kong family's foreign surnames be compared to my saints. Since the Song Dynasty, even the most ferocious Mengyuan founder, will only reward me with the Yan Sheng Gong, there has never been a dynasty and which generation of which monarch, offended the Yan Sheng Gong and the government, it is not enough to win over, let alone confiscate the land and property, do not reward 20,000 acres of fiefdom, are not the Ming Jun who respects Confucianism!

Not to mention that he was worried about being confiscated by the Chinese Empire, Kong Fanhao was just worried that the land rewarded by the empire was not fertile enough, and it was too far away from Qufu to collect rent.

Think about it, with Qufu as the center, a radius of hundreds of miles, the land that can be rewarded has been rewarded to the Confucian Mansion since the past dynasties, unless the newly opened land is really no land to be rewarded. And the newly opened land is not fertile enough, and Kong Fanhao can't look down on it.

Just when they were talking enthusiastically, Menzi came to report that Qufu Zhixian came to visit overnight, as if there was an important urgent matter.

Qufu Zhixian has always been a side descendant of the Kong family, and his status is low, Kong Fanhao frowned, what is he doing here? However, since there is something important, let's call for it.

Qufu Zhixian is a short and fat man, and when he came in, he knelt on the ground, full of big men: "The head of the family, it's not good, there are thousands of mobs outside Qufu City, speaking with a northern Anhui accent, and they entered Qufu from the territory of Zou County in the south. ”

"What?" Kong Fanhao also panicked when he heard it, he was not afraid of officers and soldiers, but he was most afraid of thieves like Changmao. At the beginning, the long-haired thieves came to the north, destroying all the Confucian temples and burning all the Confucian books along the way, which simply frightened him. Thankfully, those longhairs didn't win the world. However, it also gave Kong Fanhao the habit of being scared to death when he heard the mob and bandits.

"Why do you report it now? Immediately organize the soldiers in the city, and all go to the city wall to prepare to resist. We must not let these mobs enter the city, let alone let these mud legs defile the land of saints in my Confucian Mansion! Kong Fanhao immediately yelled at Qufu Zhixian.

Qufu Zhixian nodded, and crawled out of the door.

Kong Fanhao's face was gloomy, and he had a bad premonition, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
