The sound of their breathing echoed in the large empty hall, and the room became even more silent when the rain was about to stop and the sound of the raindrops dripping down the eaves of the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, the sixteen people sitting in the Great Signing Hall in this room were all silent, and their faces looked a little cramped and a little uneasy. But no one dared to speak.

Li Ziyuan, who was sitting at the head, looked at the silent sixteen people, smiled coldly in his heart, picked up the teacup, first drank the tea and moistened his throat, when he put down the cup, the sound of the cups and saucers hitting each other, and the hearts of everyone in the room trembled slightly, and when everyone raised their heads in surprise, they only heard him cough lightly.

"Okay, I won't say anything else for the time being, you are all banner people, this old example of flag people, there is no prohibition on agriculture and industry. However, the banner people do not engage in agriculture and business, because they have no land capital, but also because of the gathering of clans and officials, they are not serving as soldiers, eating and eating, and enjoying dignity, and they are disdainful at the beginning, year after year, sex has become a habit, but now you must be clear, now that this country has been taken back for my Han people, it is impossible to raise it anymore! ā€

Staring at the sixteen leaders of the Manchu and Eight Banners in front of him, Li Ziyuan had a sneer on his face.

"Since your ancestors stole my country, you banner people have landed money and food, monthly salary, quarter rice, years after year, Kangxi Dynasty customized: Beijing flag forward, guard, leader, monthly salary of 4 taels, horse soldier monthly salary of 3 taels. The annual rice is 46 hu, that is, 23 stones; The infantry received a monthly salary of 3 taels, and the infantry received a monthly salary of 1 tael and 5 yuan, and the annual salary was 22 hundreds, which was 11 stones. This is the so-called "sitting grain", and at the time of the expedition, there is another "line grain" of 2 taels of silver per person per month, and 8 in 3 spoons of millet per month...... In addition to this money and grain, you also have horse gan, and in addition to silver and rice, there is also horse gan. The Qing court stipulated that each garrison soldier should raise three horses, one for riding and two for military uniforms and tableware and other items when recruited. However, in fact, the number of horses to be raised varies from one garrison to another, ranging from three horses to two horses. Whoever keeps horses has not only a salary, but also fodder for the government, tell me, how many horses do you actually raise? In total, less than a thousand horses have been handed over, but each of you has no less than thirty taels of silver per year! ā€

Talking about the money and food of the banner people one by one, Li Ziyuan became more and more annoyed the more he spoke, and there was even a burst of fire in his heart.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty deliberately set a higher salary for you. For example, the high one is 23 stone per person per year, and the low one is 11 stone. I can't afford to buy to support my family. You banner people can't eat all this rice grain, but we Han people are waiting to be fed, and we are hungry with melons and vegetables. Even if the salary of a seventh-grade official in the current dynasty was 45 taels of silver and 22 stones of rice and 5 buckets per year, and the salary of an eight-rank official was only 40 taels of silver and 20 stones of rice, the salary of a soldier was more than this amount. If it is counted as a horse, even the infantry is not inferior to this! ā€

Looking at these ruddy-faced flag men in front of him, thinking that after he was admitted to Xiucai, he didn't even have the most basic rice, and it was the Manchu Qing who canceled Xiucai's rice and abolished the "national monk", thinking of his classmates who were hungry and studying hard, Li Ziyuan's whole person was even more annoyed.

"You banner people, what do you say that Yinzhen implemented the "official gentry and pay grain errands" for the sake of virtue, the court benefited, and the people benefited, which was actually "the virtue of my Qing Dynasty", but in fact, that Yinzhen implemented this policy, but because since you and others entered the customs and lived in China, the banner people breed like a snowball, and the more they roll, the more and more they roll, the Eight Banners are really overwhelmed by the imperial court, so that Yinzhen used the excuse of "the officials and gentry pay the grain as an errand", took away the rice of my Han people, and abolished my tradition of "national soldiers", you said, In comparison, how many of my Han people are there and how many people are exempted from military service? ā€

After this rhetorical question, Li Ziyuan's tone was full of annoyance, in the past, he thought about it in his heart at most, but now, all such things have been made public in the newspaper/

"According to the emperor's order, there are 40 people in the Gongsheng Mansion, 30 people in the state, 20 people in the county, and each person will be given six buckets of rice per month. The Manchu Qing Dynasty follows its system under the whole world, the quota varies according to the size of the state and county, and the annual distribution of four taels of silver is only more than 1,700 in the state and county, and the world's enjoyment of the tribute is only tens of thousands of people, and the silver per year is only 200,000 taels, which is less than the cost of 5,000 banner soldiers in a year! During the 276 years of Emperor Ming's reign of national ancestry, there were only 102,399 people! There are only 24,595 people who have won the jinshi, and the land of tax-free donation of the whole country is only more than 3 million mu. Even if it is that Yinzhen, it is only said that the silver of the monks is only hundreds of thousands, and the land of the monks is one thousand, and there are millions of moths such as silver and scholars, and there are millions of moths such as those who are not raised, and there are only tens of millions of acres of land under the Eight Banners......"

Referring to the so-called "official gentry and one grain errand", Li Ziyuan's face was full of ridicule, and at the same time there was some sarcasm, this matter was only more than a hundred years, this was originally a "bad government" to squeeze the Han people and raise a group of moths, and it actually became the so-called "three major virtues of the Yongzheng Dynasty", and even some readers said that the emperor was destroyed by the "national monks", and what the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty benefited from this.

"And you are like a leech, you have sucked the blood of our Han people for more than two hundred years, and today my Han Governor is not to blame for the sins committed by your ancestors and the sins obtained by your ancestors without hard work, is it not satisfied?"

As soon as Li Ziyuan heard what he said, they couldn't sit still for a long time and got up to confess, and they dared to complain at all.

"How dare we, how dare we ......"

In the midst of the accusations of these leaders, Li Ziyuan put the teacup on the table heavily, stared at them and said.

"This Guangzhou City, since then, you can't live, the banner people who can stay in Guangzhou are either due to my Han people, or they are buried here as the banner people! How do you think! ā€

After the cold words came out of Li Ziyuan's mouth, the temperature in this room dropped suddenly, and these Manchu and Han Eight Banner leaders all looked at each other in fear, and no one dared to speak, originally they thought that the new governor invited them over this time to discuss their livelihood with them. But now I get such a news.

"My lord, when Han Du was the first time, he promised me to wait for ......"

Huang Shijie got up a little unwillingly and argued, in his opinion, since the big guy surrendered, it was a great credit to the Han people, how can he say that he will turn his face now. But before he finished speaking, Li Ziyuan's eyes narrowed, and his voice suddenly sharpened.

"Kill him!"

His words suddenly only made Huang Shijie hurriedly argue, but the gendarmes had already walked in, pulled out the revolver in his right hand, and pulled the hammer......

"My lord, when Han Du promised me to wait for peace, we waited for the only time to descend to my lord, and my lord ...... today"

Trumpet!

The gunshots rang out in the hall, and the gendarmes directly shot Huang Shijie to death in the hall, and the red and white things and blood mist even splashed directly on the bodies of others, just when everyone was frightened, they only listened to Li Ziyuan said coldly.

"Is anyone else talking?"

There will still be people there who dare to speak, and Huang Shijie's body will not be in front of everyone's eyes. The smell of blood permeated the room, and although it made Li Ziyuan's heart feel sick, he still said it in words without the slightest emotion.

"The Han Governor persevered in kindness, which spared your life, but don't forget, the Manchu Qing Dynasty owes me a deep hatred of blood and hatred for the Han people, even if all the bannermen in the world are crushed and scattered, how can they repay it! If you don't kill you, it's already benevolent and righteous, but you bully Han Du for benevolence and righteousness, if it's really shameful! ā€

"My lord Mingjian, how dare we, this, this Huang Shijie is innocent of death......"

Chen Mingli, who was beside Huang Shijie, hurriedly got up and pushed all the charges to Huang Shijie, and the people around him all followed, they knew that the lives of tens of thousands of people in this city were all in the hands of this Lord Li in front of them, if he ordered to kill all the people, they would not even have a chance to do it.

"Huang Shijie is indeed innocent, but you ...... wait"

With a sneer, Li Ziyuan did not continue, but changed the conversation.

"Don't think that Li Mou is bent on killing, Han Du is benevolent and righteous, and Li can disgrace the lord, today Li Mou ordered Er and others to move out of here, not only to give you a way to live, if it is not for your way of life, how can it be so!"

With a long sigh in his mouth, Li Ziyuan's tone was full of pity.

"Do you think that my Han people should have been supported by flesh and blood in the past, and should be like this in the future? Today, Li killed Huang Shijie alone, but it was to save millions of banner people in the world, if you don't make a living for the people of the banners, and today's governor will feed you with official food, then tomorrow, when the people of the world say that the insects should be killed, what should you do? ā€

Chen Mingli, who still had blood on his face, looked at Li Ziyuan, this is exactly what they are worried about, although the government is still receiving rice and grain for them now, but this is not a long-term solution, and they don't know that the longer the government raises them, the stronger the dissatisfaction of the people will be, and when the people can't bear it, it is when they lose their heads.

"My lord, please wait for me!"

Chen Mingli hurriedly knelt down, and the other fourteen Eight Banner leaders all knelt in the Great Signing Hall, pleading in their mouths.

"Although we are national pillars, after all, we are also a life, and please live my Guangzhou garrison tens of thousands of Dingkou!"

Looking at this group of flag men kneeling on the ground, Li Ziyuan, who knew that he had already reached the goal, sneered at the spinelessness of these people in his heart, but he was relieved on the surface.

"Okay, you don't have to kneel here, since Li said to give you a way to live, he will give you a way to support your family, as for whether you want this way to live, it's up to you......"

At this time, Li Ziyuan didn't say where the road was, he just gave these people three days, packed their luggage, and prepared to leave Guangzhou, as for what the future holds, he didn't know, the only thing he cared about was this change of dynasty, there must be a change of dynasty!
