Chapter 387: Surrender of Land
The head of the Yang Mansion didn't understand what was going on until he turned over and fell to the ground, but after a flick of his fingers, a sharp pain came from his leg, and he saw a scene that shocked him to the extreme: his right leg was twisted to the side like a twisted flower, and it was clear that his tendons were broken and fractured!
Then, the head of the house opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-rending howl, and anyone who heard this pig-like howl could not help but tighten the chrysanthemum.
Qin Lin laughed dryly twice, and touched his chin: "You dare to be so arrogant as a housekeeper, do you think you are Third Brother Lin?" ”
Not to mention that the head of the family didn't understand Qin Lin's meaning, even if he did, he didn't have time to answer, he hugged his legs and shouted to the sky and the ground, his face was blue and white like a piece of turf paper, it was obviously cold, but the beads of sweat on his forehead oozed out, and they were the size of soybeans.
The rest of the Yang Mansion family members were frightened, although they were doing evil in the countryside, they had never seen such a fierce and domineering person, and they kicked off the leg of the head of the family when they talked and laughed, which really made people's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but be afraid.
Finally, someone realized that Qin Lin's group was not like the ordinary Jinyi captain on the street of Jingshi, and he dared to ask tremblingly: "You, who are you?" North, North, North Town Fusi? ”
Alas~ Failure! Qin Lin increased his forehead with his hand, and there was a sense of powerlessness - it seems that the murderous reputation of my Nanzhen Fusi is not significant enough.
"We are from the South, South, and South Town Fu Division," Lu Fatzi smiled and learned to speak from this family, and then said with a straight face: "So that you can know that this is the commander of Jinyi Wei, General Mingwei, and the chief of Qin Lin Qin, the commander of the Fu Division of Nan Town!" ”
Every time the fat man said an official title, the face of the Yang Mansion became a little paler, and by then he had already opened his mouth and couldn't say half a sentence.
Since he is a dignitary on the ground in Beijing, he roughly knows the official system of the imperial court, the commander of Jinyiwei is the official of the hall, and he enters the White Tiger Hall to participate in the secrets, General Mingwei is a loose rank, and Zhangnan Zhenfu Si is the third person in the Jinyi Wei system after Liu Shouyou and Zhangbei Zhenfusi!
Although the family members boasted that their masters, Governor Yang and Governor Liu, were friends with each other, they also knew very well that if they offended such a big man as the head of the southern yaqin, they didn't have to work for the old man to do it himself.
After Lu Fatzi finished speaking, Niu Dali also added honestly: "Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the officials in the hall handle the case, those who dare to obstruct it are regarded as complicit in the rebellion, and they can be killed. ”
Lying on the ground and rolling on the ground, the head of the family heard this, he really wanted to cry without tears, he only kicked his leg if he dared to love it, I still have to thank you for being old?
Qin Lin was still smiling, and said unhurriedly: "Take it back and find an orthopedic doctor to see, don't move for three months, you will still be able to walk in the future, of course, if you want to be a dog leg for people and beat the villagers, it is a little unstable to think about it." ”
This Chief Qin's attitude is still calm, but who dares to take his words seriously now? The family members hurriedly raised their heads, not even daring to turn their heads back, and flashed with smoke.
The world is quiet.
Qin Lin put his hands behind his back and walked towards Shi Shiran, a few houses where the military households lived.
There are five families living here, all of them are holding each other with the Yang Mansion outside, there are a few young people, but there are still mostly old and weak women and children, seeing the scene just now, they all feel relieved, but they don't know what this ruthless Jinyi Wei official came to do, and they are all uneasy in their hearts.
Qin Lin got straight to the point and told them directly: "This official is in charge of the Fusi of Nanzhen, and the crimes of the Jinyi Wei Official School are all under the trial of this official, and this time I came here to investigate the case of Chen Minghao who was suspected of beating Master Ma to death. ”
Hearing this, the families of the military families all breathed a sigh of relief, and several old men in charge of the family knelt at Qin Lin's feet in unison: "It's pitiful, it turns out that a big man from the sky has arrived!" Chief Qin, we have been repeatedly persecuted by the Yang Mansion for the matter of donating land, and this time they took advantage of Master Ma's beating to death, and insisted that our son also did it, you have to uphold justice for us! ”
Several young people were busy supporting their parents, while the girl and daughter-in-law looked at Qin Lin and discussed: "Why is it different from the Qingtian Lord on the stage?" This old man's official is quite big, but he is so young......"
"It doesn't matter if he's young or not, as long as he's willing to avenge our grievances, he's a good official!"
Qin Lin held his hands and asked the old people to stand up, Nan Ya really can't care about ordinary disputes between officials and people, but as the official of Jinyiwei, he has the duty of investigating and correcting the lawlessness and impeaching the lawless, and when he heard that the Yang Mansion was rampant, he frowned, and asked the families of these military households to slowly talk about the situation.
These people talked a lot, and after listening to it, Qin Lin sorted it out in his heart before he understood the reason.
The dispute between the military household and the Yang family stemmed from the land contribution.
Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of land donation has prevailed, and local people often donate land to wealthy families, and themselves become tenants, tenants or slaves.
Could it be that the people are stupid and crazy, and are willing to give away their land to others and become slaves themselves?
Just because the tax of Daming is low, it can't withstand layers of exploitation, layer by layer, and the burden on ordinary farmers is heavy.
The peasant "dedicated" the land to the wealthy eunuchs, in fact, they still cultivated it themselves, but the dignitaries had the privilege of tax exemption and did not have to pay taxes, and the peasant households saved their tax expenditures, even if they had to pay land rent to the wealthy families, as long as it was less than the court taxes and the local officials' usual expenses, he was happy.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty at this time has not been completely apportioned into the mu, in addition to the tax levied by the mu, there is also a tax levied by the capitation, from the ordinary people to the slaves of the wealthy, the identity seems to be much lower, but there is no need to pay the tax again, the economy is still cost-effective.
As a result, as a result of this, there were more and more lands and slaves of the wealthy eunuchs, less and less land taxes and taxes that the state could collect, fewer and fewer people in the register, and in some places there were even no soldiers...... On the other hand, since the wealthy and the people who donated to the wealthy could not collect taxes, the local government had to pass on the amount to the ordinary people in order to complete the tax amount, and further urged the people to pay tribute to the officials and nobles in order to escape the increasingly outrageous tax amount.
The vast majority of Yang Zhao's large farms and fields were brought by protecting the slaves under the door to evade taxes and attract the people to surrender.
Hearing this, Qin Lin asked puzzledly: "There are five families here, according to Uncle Chen, three of them are military households, and it is okay for the private households to donate their land, and the acres of land and Ding Yin of the military households are all reduced or reduced by the state, why do you want to donate to the Yang Mansion?" ”
"Hey, that's not a vain offer!" The old people patted their thighs and said very resentfully.
The kind mentioned above in order to avoid taxes is self-sacrifice in the contribution, which is willing; In addition, there is a kind of vain sacrifice, which is to call other people's land "their own business" or "ownerless idle land" by a single person who is willing to dedicate it to the powerful and powerful, in exchange for a bounty, the people do not dare and cannot fight against the wealthy, and often watch the ancestral land being taken away, and they are in pain.
It was the local scoundrels who gave the land of the five families here to the Yang family in vain, and the slaves of the Yang family would come to urge them repeatedly; After all, the Chen family has a son who is a general of the Han Dynasty, and the fields are reported to the Jinyi Wei Experience Division in order to reduce taxes, and it is not good to do tricks from it, so they use the means of lending usury, and it is the turn of these five military and civilians, and they don't even use the means, just grab it!
"This Yang Mou's family is like this, it's really hateful!" Qin Lin's face was pale, and his heart had already churned.
If self-sacrifice is the people's attempt to evade taxes and bad rules, although it must also be the lure of wealthy eunuchs, after all, there is still a certain "voluntary" surname; Then the vain sacrifice is simply a robbery in vain, who owns the local field in Hongxiang, these dignitaries and dignitaries are not clear, and the tents, masters, and housekeepers under their hands can not be clear?
Putting the responsibility of vain sacrifice on the head of the local singles is simply covering themselves with a fig leaf, and it is obviously these wealthy families who forcibly occupy the land of the people!
Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, Qin Lin wrote down this name, a governor is not easy to bring down, let's Qin Ye play with him slowly...... Specifically asked the witness of Chen Minghao's beating of Master Ma, but he didn't expect that a few young men were not, and the family members of the military family told Qin Lin with a strange look that their son, who was a soldier in the car camp, had been locked up by General Yu Dayou because he was involved in a fight that killed people.
Yu Dayou, Qin Lin is very familiar with this name, and he became interested in it, so he just took this opportunity to meet this general who is as famous as Qi Jiguang.
The car battalion is a new army trained by the Beijing Division, which was first proposed and created by Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, equipped with horse-drawn chariots and firearms, and is very effective against the northern nomads.
In fact, Qin Lin didn't know that Yu Dayou had already returned to his hometown, because the car battalion was equipped with the electric gun and thunder gun that Qin Lin had drummed out, and the successor general was not trained effectively, so the imperial court brought this veteran back from home.
The station of the Jingshi Che Battalion is not far from here, and it is time to ride a horse and gallop against the cold north wind, and it is about a stick of incense.
What a murderous atmosphere!
In recent years, the nomads had absolutely no chance of going into the house in the face of cold storms and snowstorms - unless they were not afraid that the horses would freeze to death, and the threat would be minimized, and many of the soldiers in the chariot battalion would go home for the New Year on vacation.
But the banner in the camp is clear, facing the north wind and flying fiercely, there is no snow on the house at all, it must have been cleaned up in time, a team of chariots is training, changing the formation from time to time, the swords, guns and artillery are in order, the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp are standing straight like javelins against the biting cold wind, and the frost flowers on their eyebrows are not moving.
Yu Long Qi Hu, Yu Dayou really governs the army with the style of Zhou Yafu!
Qin Lin nodded in admiration, and led the official schools to fight over, but he didn't expect that he really met Zhou Yafu's fine willow camp, and he was forced to eat a closed door.
