In the first month, the officials and soldiers of the counties occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang have entered a state of vacation, that is, they still need to be on duty for a while, and they can also enjoy the overtime rewards issued by the Xiuguo Mansion and the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen in the yamen, military camps, and outposts.

However, compared to them, Chen Wen only spent a Chinese New Year's Eve with Zhou Yueying, and went to Zhou's house in the second year of junior high school, nothing more. Similar to him are Sun Yu, as well as some related officials, who have made necessary refinements and adjustments to another system during this New Year's holiday to facilitate better implementation.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, after a month of closed training, the Xiuguo Mansion and the Zhejiang Governor Yamen jointly issued a decree to re-measure the number of acres of land in the six prefectures of Taiwen in Jinquyan according to the Yellow Book, and by the way, the field bones and field skins were recorded, and the Xiuguo Mansion and the Zhejiang Governor Yamen organized a team to cooperate with the local prefectures and county yamen to implement it. It is also stated that in the future, all transactions of field bones and field skins must also be registered with the county government. At the same time, all taxes and conscription must also be contracted to bear the relevant contracts, and the government will divide the levies according to the contracts.

The so-called Tian Gu and Tian Pi are the division of land ownership and use rights that began to appear in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in which Tian Gu refers to the ownership of land, and Tian Pi is the right to use.

The distinction between bone and skin first appeared in Fujian and Jiangxi, and soon spread in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi, including Beizhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and other provinces, but the name is slightly different. Among them, the field skin of Zhejiang is called the foot of the field, and the purchase of the field skin is also called the top foot.

Most of the bones and skins are civil contracts, and there is no red deed from the government, and the government does not have such a system, and with the emergence of the separation of bones and skins, the taxation and forced labor have gradually become complicated. Sun Yu's decree recognized the existence of field bones and field skins in the name of the government, and collected taxes and forced labor in the form of contracts, which actually prevented landlords from being misappropriated by tenants because of the passage of time and turmoil.

This decree itself is to protect the interests of both the holders of ownership and use rights with the prestige and power of the government, but for those gentry who are accustomed to tax evasion, the re-measurement of acres of land is obviously a prelude to thoroughly sorting out taxes, putting an end to tax evasion, and forcibly occupying private land. As a result, once the decree was issued, it was opposed by a large number of gentry.

The scholars were able to influence the administration of the imperial court and local administration because they controlled a large amount of land and human resources, and their wealth accumulation was dramatically increased by their handicrafts and cash crops, as well as their participation in maritime trade. And these coins are often buried in cellars, or used to bribe high-ranking officials to further influence governance, bribe and intimidate the people. And the cloak of saint disciples will make them control the local discourse, forming a political monopoly from top to bottom.

It's just that in these six prefectures, the strength of the Ming army in Zhejiang is strong, and Chen Wen has attacked the local gentry class twice before and after on the grounds of Cao Conglong's rebellion and the attack on the gentry who participated in the Manchu imperial examination, and the Zhejiang governor Yamen has always worn a pair of pants with Chen Wen, and the Zhejiang Ming army has also gained greater rights in the process of cleaning up the old guard house by the Zhejiang Ming army to recover Taiwen. Coupled with the effective separation of the administration and the judiciary and the publication of the Zhejiang Di Bao, those who opposed it did not dare to provoke the people to disobey the order by force, and it was difficult for those who opposed it to use the prefecture and county yamen to resist the implementation of the decree.

What made these gentry feel even more disgusting was that Chen Wen measured the acres of land this time, and although the assigned team needed the cooperation of the officials of the local government and county yamen, each team was accompanied by a large number of reserve civil officials. They not only participated in surveys, but also supervised the local government and county yamen, and if any fraud was discovered, they were immediately dismissed from their posts and replaced by reserve civil officials.

Without the cooperation of officials, there are still a large number of war barracks, garrisons and reserve soldiers under the guards, even ordinary people understand that at this time, daring to disobey orders is a dead end, which greatly reduces the strength of the government decree.

Of course, this also has something to do with the area that Chen Wen now occupies.

The most powerful of the gentry in Zhejiang are the five prefectures of Hangjiahu and Ningshao, which have a large number of plains and have a tradition of cultivating and reading heirlooms, and the power of scholars is very strong. In contrast, most of the four prefectures of Yanchu and Taiwen are mountainous areas, and the two prefectures of Jinqu, one of which has a great deal of power among the gentry due to the officer corps of the Qi family's army, and the other is a merchant group with a strong business atmosphere and a superior geographical location to give the gentry another way out.

As a result, the six prefectures in the occupied area were not the most powerful areas of the southeastern gentry, and Chen Wen's repeated attacks in recent years, as well as the cooperation of the army and the government, greatly reduced the resistance of the local gentry.

In fact, due to Hong Chengchou's blockade and relocation order, it was difficult for the news of the Zhejiang Ming Army to reach the neighboring prefectures and counties for a while. Huang Zongxi came here, in fact, he still heard that Chen Wen ordered the punishment of those gentry who participated in the Manchu imperial examination, and wanted to rush to persuade him, who knew that before entering Jinhua Mansion, he met the work team to measure the acres of land the next day, bought a copy of "Zhejiang Di Bao", and after figuring out what was going on, he rushed to Xiuguo Mansion in anger.

Calling them by their first name is very impolite in this day and age, almost equivalent to pointing at the nose and swearing. This kind of situation was originally impossible for Huang Zongxi, but this time he was already extremely angry, and all these years of studying and cultivating his qi were left behind, and he returned to the fiery temper of his youth.

Huang Zongxi was furious as soon as they met, and Chen Wen was also quite unhappy, but this Mr. Lizhou is not only Wang Yi's friend and daughter-in-law, but he has also helped him a lot over the years, and he is also the matchmaker between him and Zhou Yueying.

"Duke Xiuguo knows that this decree of re-measuring the acres of land will offend the entire gentry in the southeast. Out of the territory of these six prefectures in your hands, other prefectures and counties in Zhejiang and Nanzhili, how much financial, material and human resources the gentry have in their hands is not at all comparable to the gentry of these six prefectures. You have offended them all, how can you regain the lost ground then, and who will help you?! ”

During the period of being a matchmaker, as he gradually became familiar with it, the title was changed from an official name to a table name, but to this day, he first called him by his name, and then after he dissipated his anger, he still used the official name, which shows how angry Huang Zongxi is this time.

Chen Wen couldn't hear this, but Huang Zongxi has a temper, and he also has a temper. Over the years, the financial struggle has been maintained, and it has barely supported itself by various means, but those gentry have no contribution, after all, people have their own ambitions and are not easy to force, but while enjoying the preferential treatment policy, they are still using illegal means to continue to play tax evasion and tax evasion.

Chen Wen has long hated the gentry class at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not stupid enough to be immeasurable before his strength, but now he has a lot of strength, and he can do as much as he can. After all, the infighting between the three kings in history is getting closer and closer, and its fuse will break out next month if there is no accident, improve the strength as much as possible, and recover Nanjing and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains one day earlier, the less likely it will be for the Manchus to turn around.

Although Huang Zongxi's persuasion is still full of anger, there is also concern for the cause of recovering lost territory. It's just that the hind legs that have been pulled by the gentry class over the years have long been engraved in Chen Wen's heart, and now that he has a certain strength in his hands, the civilian officials are almost as an ally of the Ming Army in Zhejiang, so they naturally have to correct these things.

"Mr. Lizhou, I'm just re-measuring the acres of land, this is the government's own job, isn't it that those gentry still have any disadvantages?"

"You!"

Chen Wen's knowingly asked questions directly re-energized Huang Zongxi's anger. "Chen Wen, you need to know that the gentry are the backbone of China. Without the help of the gentry, do you think you can conquer the world with these tens of thousands of iron armor? ”

"What can I do, Mr. Lizhou can wait and see. As for what gentry is the backbone of Huaxia, hehe, according to your meaning, my Huaxia deserves to die in the Tartars, huh? ”

Huang Zongxi was not a corrupt Confucian, and Chen Wen pointed out that he did not know that the Confucian scholar class was highly favored in the Ming Dynasty, but when the Chinese civilization had begun to be cut off by barbarian tribes such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were very few people who rose up to fight back. In contrast, there are still more scholars who choose to go out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, open their eyes for the Tartars, and do dirty things, which simply disgrace the face of Sage Kong.

It's just that Huang Zongxi himself belongs to this class, and he is a member of the Donglin Party, which is the most powerful in the southeast. Historically, the Donglin Party, as a representative of the gentry, maritime merchants, factory owners, and mine owners in the southeast, would do its best to exempt industrial and commercial taxes every time they were in power, and relied on digging the corners of the Ming Empire to display their so-called political ambitions, obtain more money, grasp more local rights, and become the benevolent gentlemen in the mouths of those forces they represented.

Over the years, although he has more or less realized how some gentry classes have harmed the country and the people, he himself is a representative of this class, and even subconsciously will defend the interests of the gentry, as if it is instinct.

"Chen Wen, don't forget, Wang Wanxun is also a scholar, and there are many scholars who have died in eastern Zhejiang over the years!"

Wang Yi has the grace of knowing Chen Wen, if it weren't for Wang Yi back then, Chen Wen would probably have died in Siming Mountain a long time ago, how could there be today's pattern. Huang Zongxi carried Wang Yi out in order to refute Chen Wen, who knew that after hearing Wang Yi's name, Chen Wen smiled coldly.

"Mr. Lizhou, let me ask you, over the years, there are a few like Wang Jingluo, and how many like Hong Chengchou, Chen Mingxia, and Feng Quan. I am now educating these juniors who don't know how to make progress for Wang Jingluo, so as to clarify their morale and let them know what they should do as disciples of the Holy Sect at this time of danger! ”

Huang Zongxi really had no way to answer Chen Wen's question, not that he couldn't give examples, but it has been eleven years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and there are really many scholars from the Manchu Dynasty. He was able to name one anti-Qing scholar, and Chen Wen was able to dig out ten from the records of the Intelligence Department about participating in the Manchu imperial examinations and officials in various parts of the Manchu Dynasty. This is an irrefutable thing, especially those who would rather die than give in like Wang Yi are a minority of the minority, but they are from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the scum who helped those Tartars to harm the Chinese people cannot be counted at all.

"Good, good, good. I, Huang Zongxi, underestimate you. A martial artist, you also have to clarify the morale, very good. ”

Chen Wen's words were like needles, which made Huang Zongxi already a little incoherent, especially the latter sentence clarifying morale, which made him even more angry.

stared at Chen Wen for a moment, as if to see this person clearly, and the anger in his chest accumulated for a moment before he heard him say: "You look down on the gentry so much, but I, Huang Zongxi, want you to see how many scholars are willing to shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty and Huaxia, and it will not be your turn to get a martial artist to clarify the morale!" ”

After that, Huang Zongxi brushed his sleeves away, and even Sun Yu, who is now the governor of Zhejiang, failed to persuade him, and soon left the Xiuguo Mansion, and even left the city overnight and left the Jinhua Mansion City.

"Furen, too chong him?"

"You don't have to worry about him, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient, I want to see how this Yao Jiang Huang filial piety can do!"

blocked Sun Yu's words of persuasion, and determined that Sun Yu only came to persuade him, so Chen Wen persuaded him to go back and continue to work, and only after coming back did he turn to Zhou Jingting and tell another thing.

Zhou Jingting's mission department yamen was originally the mouthpiece of the Xiuguo Mansion, and Chen Wen ordered him to naturally do this thing. After understanding what Chen Wen wanted and the effects that these things needed, he returned to the official room and sent someone to summon the editor-in-chief of "Zhejiang Di Bao" and Chen Chen, who was expanding the art troupe, to assign the work tasks.

After Zhou Jingting left, Chen Wen returned to the work of reviewing the report, and it was not until nightfall that he was ready to go back to rest after duty, but saw Xu Yi rushing over happily.

"Guogong, the weapon you explained has been successfully developed."

"Turtledove?"

"No, it's the one that was given last year."

Several R&D tasks were issued last year, but looking at Xu Yi's somewhat happy appearance, Chen Wen quickly understood what he was talking about.

"Let's go, let's see."

"Isn't it too late?" Today's Chen Wen is not a single person, Xu Yi doesn't want to offend the lady of the Xiuguo Mansion because of the successful development of a weapon, after all, the power of this pillow wind is still very terrifying.

It's just that the decision on this matter is not in his hands, Chen Wen has already decided to do so, and even asked the guards to report the news to the inner house, and Xu Yi had to follow Chen Wen to the test site outside the city.

On the brightly lit test ground, the lethal effect of the weapon was quickly presented in front of Chen Wen's eyes, although it was not as good as the daytime, but the lethality was still visible.

"Can this thing be mass-produced?"

"I'm afraid it won't work for the time being." Many of the components of this weapon need to be made by hand to conform to the standard, not by repeated striking with a hydraulic hammer, as is the case with a knife and gun.

"Then try to produce as many as possible, and it is better to achieve mass production. I'm of great use for this thing. (To be continued.) )
