Tang Yi's reform of the gentry to pay grain has two essences, the first is to still wear the cloak of the ancestral system, and the second is to protect the interests of some bureaucrats. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

To tell the truth, although the officials are generally wealthy, but the people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and there are not many officials who can easily produce thousands of acres of land, and many officials in the capital have been reduced to the Qingshui Yamen, and even their clothes are patched, and they can't afford to hire a carriage or a servant, so they rent a house to live, and they are pitiful. These people are mainly concentrated in Kedao, as well as Guozijian, Honglu Temple and other yamen.

According to the new law, they can generally get eight stones of grain, but don't underestimate this bit of grain, which is enough for a family of three or five to eat for a year. It is not easy to live in the capital, grain is expensive, rice is expensive, everything is expensive, in addition to Yulu, I got these grains for nothing, and I picked them up.

Therefore, there was not much opposition in the science and road, and of course no one wrote to support it, for fear that people would say that it was to get food and support the new law.

Of course, those children of big families who are extremely wealthy and have Tian Lianqian Mo, after they are famous, they hate this policy and hate it to the core. But no one immediately came out to oppose it, because Tang Yi's idea was too lacking in morality, according to the ancestral system of free grain, the imperial court did not levy less when it was collected, but distributed it centrally, in principle, you should get no less, what are you arguing about?

At this time, who jumped out to oppose it, does it not mean that we admit that our family has countless fields, and in the past, our family paid less grain and took advantage of the imperial court?

Who would have the guts to admit this? Wouldn't you find a basin and buckle it on your head?

After a few days of silence, there are still people who are smarter, such as the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Wang Guoguang wrote a book, he thought that the country was difficult to use, and the treasury was empty, so he suddenly took out hundreds of thousands of stone grains to pay hundreds of officials, I am afraid that the household department will not be able to bear it. Moreover, the officials are the ancestral system, and if they give more food, isn't it good to reform the ancestral system, and it must not be implemented......

Wang Guoguang has a lot of things, and he said a lot, but he said a thousand, and he said ten thousand. His family is a wealthy family in Shanxi, with countless fields, compared to Zhang Siwei, Yang Bo and others, the gap is also limited, if it is really according to Tang Yi's idea, his family will have to hand over thousands of stones of grain every year, and it is not happy to cut meat from anyone.

After someone took the lead, more and more people followed up, they said that Tang Yi was unusual, bribing hundreds of officials with money, and had ill intentions, so they asked the emperor to immediately depose Tang Yi from the position of first assistant and choose another meritocracy.

Song Shu was sent to Long Qing, and he hurriedly flipped it over and threw it aside angrily. Serving by his side today is Teng Xiang, since the incident in Jingying, he has a lot of thoughts about the cabinet, thinking that Tang Yi is calculating him.

finally seized the opportunity, can Teng Xiang not be filled with ecstasy?

"Emperor, the slave maid heard that the grace came out from above, and the first assistant gave food to hundreds of officials, it is inevitable that some people say that they are bribing officials and forming a party for personal gain, although the slave and maid feel that the Tang Pavilion is old and revising for the country, but it is inevitable that it is not good to say!"

He wanted to continue, but found that Long Qing's eyes were on fire, and he slapped the table!

"Teng Xiang, I ask you, who made you speak ill of Master Tang?"

Teng Xiang had never seen Longqing so angry, so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Back to the emperor, how dare the slave and maid say bad things about Tang Ge Lao, but when I heard someone talking outside the palace, I played the emperor, blame the slave and maid for being too talkative, blame the slave and maid for this broken mouth, the slave and maid should be beaten!"

He cried and wiped his tears, picked up his slap, and gave himself four first, Longqing is a soft-hearted person, in the past, as long as he played this hand, no matter how big things have passed.

Who knew that Long Qing didn't speak this time, Teng Xiang could only continue to pump, getting harder and harder, and his mouth was swollen.

"Teng Xiang, you are not too talkative, but your claws are stretched too long!" Long Qing said quietly.

Teng Xiang was so frightened that his face changed, "Emperor, the slave doesn't have it, the slave really doesn't have ......."

"Say no more!"

Long Qing waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Master Tang just sent down the Tian Fu that should have been exempted, first, he didn't spend too much, and second, he didn't violate the ancestral system!" Whoever opposes Master Tang is ill-intentioned, Teng Xiang, don't think I don't know, you, as well as Meng Chong and Chen Hong, have been forcibly selling land and buying family businesses everywhere in the past few years, and life is getting better and better. I can read on love and turn a blind eye, but if you dare to get involved in the major affairs of the court, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Teng Xiang's big white face turned gray, I always thought that Longqing was stupid, and he dared to love this blind man eating dumplings, and he knew it!

"The slave is wrong, the slave and the maid will go to the Punishment Division to receive eighty court rods."

He struggled to get up, lost his soul and went outside.

When they all arrived at the door, Long Qing's voice came, "The eighty court staff still doesn't want your life!" Just twenty strokes, hit with your heart, don't deal with me. ”

Good guy, with this sentence, I am afraid that twenty strokes will be worse than eighty strokes, Teng Xiang is full of bitterness, and if he wants to say bad things in the future, he must choose a good person, Tang Yi will never touch it, he ran away.

The reason why Longqing defended Tang Yi so much was that he felt the benefits of the new law, and Gao Gong replaced Tang Yi when Tang Yi proposed a solution, and introduced the key to the new law to Longqing.

In fact, whether to collect more or less land is secondary, and the most critical article of the new law is that there is no longer tax-free land in the local area, and both the gentry and the common people must pay grain together when they are taxed for the first time. The difference is that the official's share of the court will be returned.

In this way, as many fields as there are in the locality, there will be no exceptions, and there will be no room for fraud.

For example, how large the area of a county, how much cultivated land can be reclaimed, and how much has been reclaimed can basically be estimated, and the difference is a few thousand mu, tens of thousands of acres, maybe it's okay, if it's too much, whether it is the household department or the department in charge of supervision, you can see it, and then send someone to investigate.

Plain and simple, local officials lost the opportunity to get their hands on it.

It cannot be said that everything will be fine from now on, at least there will be no absurd situation in which arable land has been sharply reduced, or even less than half of that at the beginning of the country.

The smooth implementation of Qingzhang Tianmu and the implementation of integrated grain payment, Gao Gong estimated that the autumn tax in Longqing for three years should reach 8 million taels

The annual membership exceeded 18 million taels, which was more than 5 million taels more than in the second year of Longqing. Last year, we borrowed more than 10 million taels of debt for the purpose of fighting the war, and this year we will be able to make up for half of it, and next year we will make more efforts to raise the total amount of land taxes to 15 million taels, plus customs duties, as well as commercial taxes and salt taxes that are being rectified. Longqing should reach 25 million taels in four years, and by the fifth year of Longqing, it will repay the deficit of previous years and turn the deficit into a profit.

Gao Gong was happy and imagined a bright future.

It's just obvious that things won't be as easy as he hoped, no, something happened to the Ministry of Rites again...... The old scholar Gao Yi hurried to the cabinet, and just as several cabinet elders discussed how to implement the new law, Gao Yi ran directly into it.

"Motosuke, do you care?"

Without a head or tail, Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Gao Butang, I naturally have to take care of it, if I shouldn't take care of it, I can't take care of it!" ”

Hearing that Tang Yi was a little dissatisfied, Gao Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and said apologetically: "It's all my fault that I'm in a hurry, it's like this, a group of Zizong people smashed the hall of the Ministry of Rites, and if the old man has slow legs, he won't be able to get out." ”

"Bold!" Gao Gong slapped the table and scolded angrily: "The six yamen of the dignified court, the face is related, and if you dare to make trouble in the Ministry of Rites, you are despising the court, no matter who it is, you will be severely punished!" ”

The tall beard has always been scrappy, and no one is afraid.

Chen Yiqin interjected: "Or listen to Gao Butang, what's going on?" ”

Gao He sighed, "The child has no mother, it's a long story!" ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he divided a large number of sons to various places, his original intention was to hope that even if the court was overthrown, other clan relatives could still protect the king, and if it was not good, it could keep the bloodline of the old Zhu family.

Therefore, the vassal king had a lot of power, and could even raise soldiers and command one side.

However, after Zhu Di raised an army and fought against him, he seized the throne as a vassal king. He restricted more and more of the clan vassal kings, and he couldn't even get out of the city, and became a fat pig.

So many fat pigs, there must also be a circle, in case of trouble, someone must manage, originally there was a Zongren Mansion, Zongren Order, left and right Zongzheng, left and right Zongren, all of them are a positive product, served by the prince of the royal family, compared to the cabinet is much more cattle.

After the Battle of Jingjing, he became the regent of the relatives, and the prince was kicked aside, and then he was simply stuffed under the Ministry of Rites and placed under the management of the Ministry of Rites.

With a large number of relatives of the old Zhu family, it sounds very majestic, but I know it!

In recent years, the clan has been seriously expanded, and the imperial court has insufficient resources, and the clan has to be in arrears every year, so there are people who go to the Ministry of Rites every year to make trouble.

Due to the implementation of the new policy in Longqing, Gao Gongli mainly eliminated redundant personnel, Zhang Juzheng proposed to save expenses, and the knives of the two people were cut to the clan, and the number of people should be verified, the jade was rebuilt, and the concubines were sorted out. To put it bluntly, it is to reduce the number of clans.

Zhang Juzheng even folded fifty percent of Lu Mi into treasure banknotes, who doesn't know that treasure banknotes are worthless, they are all waste paper, and it is too hard to wipe their buttocks. Therefore, the children of the clans from all over the country met and ran to the capital, counting two or three hundred, and the emperor of one water. Soak in the ritual department all day long, eating and drinking.

Grohe was full of anger, but there was no way to take these guys, so he could only endure it.

But I don't know where the news came out, saying that the imperial court was going to send the Lu rice to the clan to the hundred officials, and these people didn't do it.

What are you kidding, we are golden branches and jade leaves, with the same blood as His Majesty the Emperor, what are you, but the courtiers of the old Zhu family, you dare to rob us of our grain, and you are impatient!

I don't know who took the lead and smashed the Ministry of Rites.

This is not enough, and even threatened to go to the cabinet to meet the cabinet elders and ask them why they are slow to treat their clan relatives.

Gao Yi sighed for a long time, "Lord Shoufu, the lower officials really can't deal with it, please give me an idea." These uncles have all moved the cover rolls to the Ministry of Rites, and it looks like they are going to fight for a long time. ”

Gao Yi chattered, but didn't pay attention, in the depths of Tang Yi's eyes, a flame burned, originally won Xu Jie, after attacking the gentry, he had to deal with the clan, otherwise only move the gentry, not the clan, what do the people in the world think of him?

"You come to die yourself, don't blame this pavilion for being unkind!" (To be continued.) )
