At this time, Le Hegao sat on the right seat of the political envoy Yamen, and sure enough, as Xu Jie said, Zhou Jiaxiao, the political envoy, fell ill at once after the will to change rice to mulberry, which is not counted, and went back to his hometown to recuperate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The affairs of the political envoy yamen, big and small, are all presided over by the political participants.

Lehe was already mad and yelled at the officials below: "Why can't you borrow grain, the two rivers and lakes are all bumper harvests this year, but the price of grain is even more expensive than in the disaster year, what are these big farmers and grain merchants going to do?" It's just that others don't borrow, why don't even the Xu family borrow, it was he Xu Jie, who made our grandfather stabilize at the beginning, and now it is his Xu family who takes the lead in annexing the land, what does he Xu Jie want us to do!!

In fact, if you want to say that in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, the biggest big family is not someone else, it is the Xu family, the Xu family, who is worried about the country and the people, and is upright. The land under the name of the Xu family is as much as 200,000 mu, all of which are good and fertile land, and all the farmers in Songji Prefecture and Wuxi are all tenants of his Xu family.

Xu Jie, it should be said that he is indeed a good official, and he himself is no better than Yan Song, and he has almost no greedy behavior. It's just that his family relied on his power to annex land in Songjiang, and no one dared to take care of it at all. In addition, his son and even the housekeeper of the family are not good birds, and they have done a lot of bullying men and women, this time they changed rice to mulberry, and they tried their best to replace it with the peasants, replacing their family's original rice field with the people's mulberry field, so that the people could plant it from scratch.

That's it, he is not the only rich man who does this, the problem is hoarding food. The old lady of the Xu family has always had the habit of stockpiling grain, last year's harvest, their old Xu family's harvest did not sell a grain, this time the government was short of grain, went to them to borrow, and the result was that not a grain of grain was lent.

The power of these rich families was beyond imagination, and the imperial court's decree was originally to buy and borrow half to seize the time to distribute the grain and change the fields. It can be said that the original intention of the imperial court was not a problem at all. However, none of those big families were considerate of the imperial court, but took this opportunity to collude with officials from all over the country, raise the price of grain, and embezzle the imperial court's appropriations, clearly intending to force the people to live and take advantage of the opportunity to annex land.

The people are not good at stubble, and no one will replant without food, otherwise there is only one way to starve to death except to sell the land to these big families.

What's more, if you simply grow grain on your own land, doesn't the imperial court want to change rice to mulberry? Okay, let me merge, all the new land I annexed is willing to grow mulberry, and even directly rob the land in the hands of those mulberry farmers, and if you collude with the local government, a national policy will make you lose your temper.

At this time, the next person came in: "My lord, Lord Zhao is here"

Le He said: "I came just in time, I was about to ask him if the grain could still arrive, and if there was no food, I couldn't change this field."

At this time, Zhao Wenhua strode in and said: "The cabinet has an urgent delivery, changing rice to mulberry is a matter of national policy, and it must be completed before mid-February, and if it is too late, it will delay the people to plant mulberry seedlings." We only have less than two months to go, and we don't have time to do the detailed work, so let's leave it to the big families below to do it themselves.

Le He slapped the table on the spot and said: "The price of this grain is what they hoarded and raised, and many big families have not moved their own grain fields at all, just waiting to annex the people's fields and hand them over to do it, is Lord Zhao going to force these people to death?" ”

Zhao Wenhua also slapped the table and said: "It's too late, my Lord Le, Hu Zongxian went to the neighboring province to borrow grain, and it has been more than half a month, and he only borrowed 200,000 quintals, which is far from the goal. Only if they first change the land of the people can they be expected to change their own."

Le He said: "How do you let the people live without land, do you know how much grain an acre of land is worth now, thirty loads!" ”

Zhao Wenhua said: "I know! I know what you said, the eight hundred lords of the millennium field, the land has always changed according to the market, and I can't commit you telling me these bullshit truths, and when the time comes, the rice will be changed to mulberry and the court will punish me first, Zhao Wenhua's crimes! If the people want to scold their mother, they will scold me Zhao Wenhua's mother first! Today, if you can pay better attention to it, you can say it, if not, you can only do it.

Le He sighed helplessly and said, "I'm afraid that those big families won't give the people a way to live at all."

Zhao Wenhua said: "Let the big households change the rice to mulberry, it is the trend of the times, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in the people's acre of three points of land, as long as they join forces, the court can not fight them, but the necessary supervision must be there, and they cannot be allowed to behave indiscriminately."

Le He said: "Lord Zhao, thirty loads of grain per acre, the people are still hungry to death, but if it is lower, someone will rebel, and when something happens, let's just shackle ourselves and send them to Beijing." ”

"Report... , two adults, something big happened, and the newly promoted General Yu Bing was reversed."

Zhao Wenhua scolded: "What a mess, make it clear"

The man: "Yes。。。。。 It was General Yu who arrested the soldiers of the Yamen of the Zhensi Division, and also beat the Lord of Zhentai."

Le He said: "There must be a reason, why did Yu Dayou have a conflict with Ma Qiao?" ”

The man replied: "It's King An, when King An implemented the national policy of changing rice to mulberry, he clashed with Diao Min who built A County, and Lord Zhentai sent troops to suppress it, just in time to catch up with Yu Dayou, he beat him, and also detained the soldiers of the Yamen of Zhensi"

Zhao Wenhua hurriedly said: "How is King An?" ”

The man said: "Prince An is fine, but the soldiers of the palace were also detained by Yu Dayou."

Zhao Wenhua roared: "Bastard! What the hell is he going to do! Pass my order, let Yu Dayou come to see me immediately, and call Ma Qiao to me too."

But the man said, "Master Ma led the people of the Yamen of Zhentai to suppress the rebellious people."

Le He said: "Where did he go to suppress the rebels?" ”

The man said: "The chaotic people have flocked to Hangzhou City, and they have already surrounded the governor's yamen."

Zhao Wenhua panicked: "Diao Min has already surrounded the governor's yamen?" ”

Le He said: "I'll go and take a look, Lord Zhao won't come forward, if I come forward, there will be any mistakes and you can come back."

When I came to the governor's yamen, the people on the third floor and the outer three layers wrapped the governor's yamen tightly, Ma Qiao was leading people around to arrest people, and he started to move, at this time, he heard the voice of the crowd below: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, they don't let us live, so they fight with them"; It's a mess, and I don't know who led it.

Lehe immediately walked forward quickly and shouted, "Stop!" Stop! Maggio, let your soldiers stop."

At this time, Ma Qiao was severely whipped by Yu Dayou with a horsewhip, and the anger in his heart was great, so he vented all the fire on the people, and his officers and soldiers were bullied by Yu Dayou even worse.

Le He's lungs exploded when he saw this scene, and he picked up a bamboo stick out of nowhere and beat the officers and soldiers who bullied the people. Although those low-level officers and soldiers didn't know him, they finally recognized the scarlet robe that Lehe was wearing, and they didn't dare to fight back when they knew that he was a big official.
