Chapter 159: The Case of Destroying the Door
After the Eight Tigers gained power, not all the officials in Daming Hai were like Yang Tinghe, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others, who were eager to kill them, and I believe that a small number of officials maintained a high degree of ideological unity with Liu Jian and others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But most people haven't reached this recuperation yet, because most of the people who are with Liu Jian and Xie Qian have been killed by the Eight Tigers, they are not stupid, and it should be the wisest choice to take refuge in the Eight Tigers at this time.
As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch on, this is the reason, so in order to curry favor with the Eight Tigers, officials from all over the country really used their strength to eat milk, and the following embezzled and bribed, and after the greed was finished, they were sent to Beijing.
In the name of Huangzhuang, there are countless requests for contributions, and the land obtained by donation in the Gyeonggi area alone has increased from the original 100,000 to more than 200,000.
In order to escape the severe conscription and forced labor, the people in most areas such as Gyeonggi, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Gansu became displaced people.
On the first day of April, Dali Temple received a case that I didn't want to deal with, because the people involved in the case were too special, one was Zhou Shou, the other was Zhang Yanling, everyone knew that Zhang Hou Ye was the master who could taste the taste of.
This Zhou Shou is not simple, if you want to say that Zhang Yanling is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, then this Zhou Shou qualification is even older than him, this guy is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager.
If you want to say that the two have something in common, they may be waste...... The emperor is a relative of the country, right?!
In fact, the process of this matter is very simple, but when Chen Yu learned the ins and outs, his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, especially after Jinyiwei gave Chen Yu that information, Chen Yu felt that it was necessary to take this opportunity to rectify it.
There is a fertile field near Gyeonggi, which was originally the field of the wealthy merchant Shen Zhao, who was a famous gentry in Gyeonggi and a man who was raised in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, but his more than 1,000 hectares of fertile land was favored by the two marquis.
Zhou Shou is very direct. gave five hundred taels of silver, saying that he wanted to buy Shen Zhao's more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, let's not be in a hurry to say how absurd this guy's behavior is, because Zhang Houye and his family are funny, he only used two so-called beauties, and he wanted to exchange for other people's thousands of acres of fertile land.
So compared with Hou Ye Zhang, Hou Ye Zhou is still more disciplined.
Shen Juren is not stupid, no one will do this, so Zhou Shou went directly to the door to snatch it. and informed him that this field had been approved by the imperial court and given to himself.
Shen Zhao asked Marquis Zhou to come up with evidence, which was originally a fictitious thing, take a fart of evidence? Marquis Zhou was so angry that he asked the little officials in the house to wipe out all the more than 150 members of the Shen family.
Zhang Houye was also angry in the past two days, and without saying a word, he took the small officials in the family and personally rolled up his sleeves to find the officials of the Zhou family. Lose both.
The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it goes to Dali Temple, the ridiculous thing is not because of the destruction of the door, but because of who should this thousand acres of fertile land be distributed to?
Zhang Yanling said that this land was the first thing he fancied. Zhou Shou said that he got this land first, and for a while the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable.
This matter was in a uproar in Beijing, and as the Hanlin Academy of the Qingshui Yamen, the gentlemen in it naturally knew all about it. And the focus of the discussion is also who this fertile land should belong to!
Chen Yu didn't know why these people could always put the cart before the horse, obviously the essence of this matter was. Who should pay for the lives of those 150 or so people!
The final disposal opinion given by Dali Temple is that these thousand acres of fertile land belong to Zhang Houye, and it is ridiculous that 2,000 acres of fertile land are divided into Zhou Shou from other places.
After all, it involves the Imperial Clan, which is a huge group.
Let's talk about this lord first, these are some lords and nobles who have been awarded the title of duke, marquis, and uncle for their military merits, or because of the relatives of Jiaofang.
These people are scattered all over the city, and the number is huge, and the state will give them very fertile rice every year, not only that, but what is even more terrifying is that these guys also have a hereditary system.
In other words, as long as you are reincarnated well and voted into these people's homes, then you don't need to struggle at all for the rest of your life, just wait to walk your dog on the street every day and tease women from good families.
I believe that this is the goal of many people's lives, and because of such a group of people, the food that Daming offers to these idiots can reach millions of stones every year!
At least these people have made military contributions to the country, but there is another group of people who are even more powerful, these people have existed since Emperor Taizu, and they have been plagued until one or two hundred years later, and they are still strong all over the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of person is the imperial family, not every emperor's son can become an emperor in the end, and a large number of people become vassal kings.
These vassal kings are also very fierce, the most courageous is naturally Zhu Laosi, this guy was able to win the great tomorrow as the vassal king, the world of the end of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there are and only him, of course, this is a minority, not every vassal king can become an emperor, of course, the latter vassal king, let's say another.
The vassal king who can't become an emperor will go to various places to become a vassal according to the division of the feudal lord when he becomes an adult, that is, he will start the days of eating and waiting for death.
Of course, these people will not be idle in the fiefdom, and it seems that embezzlement and annexation of land has become their fun, which is not enough, when they are in the domain, the emperor will also reward them with Wang Zhuang, such as the Jin King rewarded more than 7,000 hectares, and the Chongwang rewarded as many as 10,000 hectares and so on.
In addition to the above two types of people, there is another kind of even more amazing, this kind of person we call a reader, it's a bit ironic to say, reading, isn't it just to become a "panic beach" like Wen Tianxiang, and sigh in the ocean. Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat! "Something like that?
I'm sorry, maybe most people who read books have such ambitions at first, but after playing politics for a long time, why do you keep Dan in mind? Fuck the hanging eggs.
Talking to others about this, people can only say that your spiritual pursuit is too low, at this time, the spirit of the scholars who are determined to seek land is becoming more and more demanding, and they are doing everything possible to annex the land.
The home of the gentry in Henan Province is dominated by the servants of Tianlu, and the fields are more than 1,000 hectares, and the less than 5,700 hectares. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the right to Zhuang Tian, Qianmo Lian, one family and ten family property.
In the Fujian region, the eunuchs are rich, compete for livestock fields, corrupt officials and powerful families, and there are people all over the neighboring borders. The ownerless business, the beggar; The temple view of the incense is strong and strong; Yellow clouds are all over the field, there are thousands of ships, and nineteen are all things with big surnames.
There are few ears of the people who have property!
Under the premise of private ownership of land, scattered small producers will inevitably gradually produce a gap between the rich and the poor in the process of development due to different specific conditions such as the strength of labor, the size of the population, and the level of technology, resulting in land annexation.
However, without internal or external pressure, this natural process of land annexation is generally slower and the scale of the annexation is very limited. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of tuntian fields and self-cultivated farmland were concentrated in the hands of bureaucrats and aristocrats, and the reason why land annexation was so drastic was obviously inseparable from the infiltration of political power into the annexation.
The handling of Dali Temple was given to the cabinet, and the cabinet actually agreed to the proposal of Dali Temple, and avoided the important and let the two emperors pay attention to their words and deeds in the future.
Knowing the cabinet's handling suggestions, Chen Yu's heart couldn't be calm for a long time, Chen Yu couldn't understand it, how could the cabinet, which has always been strict with others and lenient with himself, and demanded others with the standards of sages, suddenly agreed to such a handling suggestion?
But Gu Dingchen told Chen Yu the reason, Gu Dingchen said, first, because the cabinet of a group like Huangxun did not dare to offend, because its number was too large, if they were moved, the emperor would tremble at least three times, so they could generally avoid these people, and the cabinet would try not to worry about them.
Another reason is that the cabinet has not done less to contribute, merge and other things, if you really want to investigate thoroughly, you can't say that you will find out about yourself in the end, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Of course, not all of these lands were forcibly annexed by them, and a large part of them were voluntarily donated by the people.
These Chen Yu can understand that many fighters will also donate land to local gentry in order to escape the heavy burden of forced labor, and these Chen Yu know something in Qiantang County.
Emperor Hongzhi did everything very well, but only the land was very chaotic to manage, and even rewarded the emperor and other fields on a large scale, so that the people of the world were displaced everywhere!
Chen Yu believes that if these problems are not solved, they will become more and more serious in the future, and even the scourge of the Ming Dynasty will be full of holes, but these things have to be worked out slowly, and there is a detailed plan, just like Gu Dingchen said, the cabinet does not dare to offend people, how can he Chen Yu easily offend?
But it doesn't matter, Liu Jin has gained power, these things are actually difficult to say, easy to say, it depends on whether you do or not!
But if this case of 150 people destroying the door is not handled well, how many people's hearts in the world will be chilled? How many of the people of the Ming Dynasty would still believe in the imperial court?
A family can be easily wiped out, so what about ordinary people? Chen Yu dared to believe that if this kind of result was announced by the imperial court, it would definitely form a very bad public opinion among the people on a large scale!
In the Gyeonggi area, the Shen family murder case has become the focus of the people, and this matter must not be so easily ambiguous.
Zhou Shou must be responsible for this matter, and the results of the Dali Temple and the cabinet cannot be announced to the public for the time being.
So, just when the cabinet was about to announce the results of the treatment of Dali Temple, Chen Yu intercepted him, he forbade him to come to the cabinet, and found the three elders.
When the three pavilion elders heard that Chen Yu was coming, their attitudes were very cold, and they didn't even look at Chen Yu, they were still pretending to deal with the national affairs! (To be continued.) )
