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 numb, and it was clear that his tendons had broken and broken!
Then, the head of the family opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-rending howl, and anyone who heard this pig-like howl could not help but tighten up. (Please remember our)
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 doesn't understand what Qin Lin means, even if he understands, he doesn't have time to answer, he hugged his legs and shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, his face was blue and white like a piece of turf paper, it was obviously a cold day, 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, n failed! Qin Lin increased his forehead with his hand, and there was a sense of powerlessness The murderous reputation of my Nanzhen Fusi does not seem to be significant enough.
"We are the Nan, Nan, Nanzhen Fu Division" Lu Fatzi smiled and learned to speak this family, and then said, "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 Nan Town!" ”
Every time the fat man said an official title, the face of the Yang Mansion became a little whiter, and it was already open later. I stammered and couldn't say half a word.
Since he is a dignitary on the ground of the Beijing Division, he roughly knows the official system of the imperial court, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is the official of the hall, and he enters the White Tiger Hall to consult the secrets, and General Mingwei is the third person in the Jinyi Wei system after the guard envoy Liu Shouyou and the Zhangbei Zhenfu Division!
Although the family members boasted that their masters, Governor Yang and Governor Liu, were friends of Mo Dao, they also knew very well that if they offended such a big man as the head of the Zhangnan Ya Qin, they didn't have to work for the old man to do it himself, and when they went home to a few big housekeepers to learn the news, they would definitely break their legs first.
After Lu Fatzi finished speaking, Niu Dali also honestly added: "Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and those who dare to block the case of the Shangguan in the hall are regarded as complicit and can be killed. Lying on the ground and rolling on the ground, the head of the family heard this, I really wanted to cry without tears, dare to only kick and break my leg, 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, and they didn't even dare to look back at the flashing people who slipped through the smoke.
The world is quiet.
Qin Lin walked towards Shi Shiran, the few houses where the military households lived, with his hands behind his back.
There are five families living here, all of whom are holding each other outside with the Yang Mansion, and there are a few young people, but most of them are 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 is doing here, 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 Fu Division 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 people in charge of the family knelt at Qin Lin's feet: "It's pitiful, it turns out that a Qingtian master has arrived!" Chief Qin, we have been repeatedly forced by the Yang Mansion to surrender the land, and this time they took advantage of Master Ma's beating to death, and insisted that our son also made a move, you have to uphold justice for us! Nowadays, the young people are busy supporting their parents, and the girl and daughter-in-law look at Qin Lin and discuss: "How is it different from the Qingtian Lord on the stage?" This old man's official is also quite big, but he is so young......", "It doesn't matter if he is young or not, as long as he is willing to avenge our grievances, he is a good official!" Qin Lin put his hands on 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 traitors and impeaching lawlessness, and when he heard that the Yang Mansion was rampant, he frowned, and let these military families 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 the ten lands to others and go to slavery themselves?
Just because the tax of Daming is low, it can't withstand the layers of inventory and 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 regular expenses of the local officials, 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.
In order to avoid taxes, it belongs to self-sacrifice in the contribution, which is willing: there is also a kind of vain offering, which is a kind of vain sacrifice that is a single person who calls other people's land "his own business", or "ownerless idle land" to the powerful and powerful, in exchange for a bounty, the people dare not and cannot fight against the wealthy, and often watch the ancestral fields being taken away, and they are in pain.
It is the local scoundrels who dedicate the land of the five families here to the Yang family in vain, and the servants of the Yang family will come to urge them repeatedly: and the Chen family has a son who is a general of the Han Dynasty after all, 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, they don't even use the means, and rob them directly!
"This Yang Mou's family is like this, it's really hateful!" , Qin Lin's face was pale, and his heart was already churning.
If self-sacrifice is the people's desire to evade taxes and ugly women, although there must be a certain amount of "voluntary" in it, the nature of the sacrifice is simply a daytime robbery, who is the local land in the hometown, these dignitaries are not clear, and the accounts, 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 about the witnesses of Chen Minghao's beating of Master Ma on that day, but he didn't expect that a few young men were not, and the family members of the military households told Qin Lin with a strange look that their son who was a soldier in the 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 came to rise at the time, so he took this opportunity to meet this general who is as famous as Qi Jiguang.
The battalion is a new army trained by the Beijing Division, which was first proposed and created by Yu Dayou, a famous general of the anti-Japanese war, equipped with horse-drawn soldiers 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 battalion was equipped with a stun gun and a thunderbolt gun that Qin Lin had drummed out, and the successor generals were not trained effectively, so the imperial court brought this veteran back from his home.
The station of the Jingshi Mu camp 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 time to play incense.
What a slaughtering atmosphere!
In recent years, the nomads have absolutely no possibility of entering the army under the cold storm and snow, unless they are not afraid that the horses will freeze to death, and the threat will be minimized, and many soldiers in the Mu camp will 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, it must have been cleaned up in time, a team of soldiers is training, changing the formation from time to time, 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 on the eyebrows is 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.
