Chapter 263: A New Atmosphere (1)

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli has arrived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A lot of things happened in this year, and a lot of celebrities died, among which the biggest impact on the Ming Dynasty was Li Rusong's death, Li Rusong's death was a huge loss for the entire Ming Dynasty, many people said that Li Rusong did not die, the Ming Dynasty would not die, in fact, this is all.

Li Rusong does not die, the Ming Dynasty will die, but it will not die in the hands of 'my Qing Dynasty', Li Rusong will not die will curb the rise of Nurhachi, this is true, with Li Rusong in Liaodong, no cow, ghost, snake or god dare to jump.

Liu Zheng admired Li Rusong very much, but Liu Zheng hoped that Li Rusong would die soon, and he also prayed for the blessing of the gods in the sky, Li Rusong did not change his life because of his little wing fan, and hoped that he would still die in the hands of the Mongols, otherwise his Liu Zheng's life would be really sad, the battle of Korea was pacified, Wanli would definitely come to him to do a battle, in case Li Rusong was sent, even if he won Li Rusong, he would inevitably break his muscles and bones, and his vitality would be greatly damaged, so Li Rusong still died according to the normal trajectory.

In addition to Li Rusong, a person who had a deep influence on the Ming Dynasty, there was also Toyotomi Hideyoshi who died in this year, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death had a great impact on Japan, Korea, and the Ming Dynasty, so let's not be verbose here.

In addition to these two very influential people who died, we have to talk about those who made the Ming rebellion.

Nurhachi of my Great Qing Dynasty will advance to the East China Sea from the beginning of the first month, trampling all the tribes under their feet one after another, and then completing the unification of the Jurchen tribe.

Yang Yinglong openly rebelled in this year, and it was Yang Yinglong who raised the banner of rebellion, which made Wanli completely determined to kill him regardless of 3721.

Now that Liu Zheng suddenly appeared out of thin air, and I don't know if it was because of his appearance or something else that caused Yang Yinglong to become a puppet, then Wanli's anger would not be sent to Yang Yinglong, but to him Liu Zheng.

As for whether Yang Yinglong will openly rebel, Liu Zheng doesn't care at all, and he believes that as long as he and Wanli are stumbling to the death, Yang Yinglong will inevitably erect an anti-flag, as for whether he himself is willing to put up this flag, or whether the 'young master' wants to put up this flag, Liu Zheng also doesn't care.

Of course, in addition to these major events, there are some trivial things, and there are not many of these trivial things that Liu Zheng cares about, basically who is dead, who is dismissed, or who is Shangshu was a fart by Wanli.

None of the above things Liu Zheng cares about, the only thing Liu Zheng cares about now is money, how to get money quickly, how to get more money, he cares about this, he needs money urgently.

Liu Zheng did not return to Qingzhou during the Spring Festival, and the Shangyuan Festival was also in Linqing, after the first month ushered in the dragon raised its head, the new urban area of the big construction site immediately recovered, along with the recovery of the large construction site and the recovery of Caoyun.

The businessmen, who have been playing at home for nearly two months, can't wait to devote themselves to their own business.

The arrival of the merchants made Linqing completely come to life, and all the traces of the previous war have been touched, and all places have shown a prosperous scene.

When these businessmen came to Linqing, they immediately found a lot of differences, and the first change they found was the banknote customs, because the new banknotes had not yet been established, and the people deployed by Liu Zheng were now all working on the old banknotes.

The difference between the merchants was not that the people had changed, but that the money customs did not collect money tax, and the tax collectors just let the soldiers wearing unfamiliar styles of military uniforms come on board the ship to inspect them, record what the goods were, and then let them go.

The second difference found is that the goods tax has been abolished, of course, not completely canceled, but the goods tax in places outside Shandong has been cancelled, and the goods entering Shandong are still taxed, but this tax is not the same as the original.

The third difference found is related to the goods tax in the first discovery, that is, outside the banknote customs, a new street appeared, and on this street stood hundreds of notice boards, these notice boards are quite exquisite, if you look at the friends of later generations, you will find that these notice boards are very similar to those beautiful wooden bus stops in later generations, it can be said that they are completely the same except for the chairs without resting.

There are countless notices posted on these notices, and the merchants still value these notices, so all the merchants who come here will carefully look at what the notices say.

When the merchants saw the content written on the notices posted by the emperor's gang, they were all shocked, first of all, the banknotes will not be collected in the banknote tax, followed by the reform of the goods tax, and then the amount of tax charged for each goods, in the last piece of the notice, the things there made the merchants the most shocked, although this notice has nothing to do with them, but they were shocked by what was written on it, which said that all cultivated land in the Linqing boundary has been canceled since the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Wanli.

Everyone who saw this notice talked about it, and an elderly man stood in front of the notice, stunned for a long time, and then sighed softly.

Then he said to a young man beside him: "This Liu Zheng is really ...... Shang Yuan, do you say that this Liu Zheng really dares to do this, without the land tax, he is not afraid that the big landlords in this vicinity will buy all the land? ”

These two men, the older man is called Li Daizi Renfu, the second year of Longqing's Jinshi, who originally served in Nanjing, and now he has been transferred to the Criminal Department and served as a waiter in the Criminal Department.

The person who followed Li Dai This young man is a royal history, called Zhou Song, the word Shangyuan, returned to Beijing from his hometown Nanjing, and happened to meet Li Dai on the way, Zhou Song and Li Dai are related, although this relationship has turned I don't know how many turns.

After all, Li Dai served as the governor of Shandong in the fourteenth year of Wanli, and people always have special feelings for the place where they have served, and now they have encountered Liu Zheng's rebellion to occupy most of Shandong, and I heard that Liu Zheng occupied Linqing before, although it was not openly occupied but secretly occupied, so after arriving in Linqing, Li Dai wanted to see what Liu Zheng had the ability to occupy, and occupied most of Shandong. So that the court has not said a word until now.

Zhou Song arched his hand and said: "Boss, the lower officials know a little about this, don't look at Liu Zheng who doesn't collect field taxes, but there are really few landlords and gentry who dare to collect fields, but they sell their fields one after another!" ”

Li Dai looked at Zhou Song strangely and said, "Why is this?" ”

Zhou Song smiled lightly and said: "The old man has been in Nanjing, I don't know much about Shandong, the lower officials have been in Beijing for a long time, and I know a lot about what happened in Shandong, this Liu Zheng likes to grab the land of the gentry, and then divide it equally to the people, Linqing These gentry and landlords even if the news is closed, as long as you inquire a little, you can know how Liu Zheng did in Qingzhou, Liu Zheng didn't leave a hand at all in Qingzhou, except for a part of the land left according to the population of the family, all the other land was confiscated and confiscated, And then divided it equally to the people, although Liu Zheng has not done this in Linqing, but those gentry have been completely frightened, and they began to sell the land in their hands a few years ago, and the lower officials know this, because the lower officials have a subordinate who is in Linqing, and his family's land has been sold almost! ”
