In the valley capital, Chen Rongtai's home, a group of Chen clan leaders gathered here, all of them showing anxious expressions. The old lady Chen Rongtai also sighed for a while, and couldn't stop mourning: "The ancestors bless, the ancestors of the Chen family bless." ”

After a while, a small servant outside also ran in, "Old lady, something is wrong." The Liang family took the initiative to pay taxes for ten years, and also reported 37 hectares of hidden land, of which 4 hectares were voluntarily donated as official land. Take it out one by one and set up a social school. ”

Chen Rongtai's greatest hope in his heart was disappointed, and a mouthful of phlegm almost blocked in his throat. "How...... How so. Liang Ruimin, this old man, really wants to carry my eleven clans, watch and help each other, and advance and retreat together? ”

The eleven capitals are intermarried, and they are all relatives of each other. Although Liang Ruimin made a big fuss about his granddaughter giving Li Yanqing as a concubine, according to him, it was the dog official who besieged the city with rebellious soldiers, and his granddaughter occupied the jewel when he lived in the county yamen. I have no choice but to suppress a hundred ugliness, I will always be a Xiangshan person, and I will always support the patriarchs of all ethnic groups.

His discipline is not trustworthy, but his interests are always trustworthy. No one has ever done anything like hiding the land, concealing the mouth, or evading taxes. Re-inspecting the land, inspecting the Ding, and checking the taxes, who will not be affected by the loss of the eleventh? Therefore, regarding the matter of the alliance of the eleven capitals, Chen Rongtai is quite confident that there will be no traitors in his team.

Unexpectedly, this dog official didn't care about anything, the pressure of the squire, the threat of the people's uprising, as if he didn't take it to heart at all. Of course, it can't be said that you don't take it to heart. At least he brought the Coast Guard ashore and brought two cannons down. Put on an attitude that does not hesitate to shed blood and does not care about the dead.

And the squire is on this side. First of all, the Huang Gongzi didn't have the consciousness of the eldest prince of the eunuch family at all. Eat, drink, and play to raise customers, make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, squander most of the family's industry, and sell more than half of the fields. In the matter of land inspection, not only did he not stop it, but on the contrary, he also took the initiative to donate two pieces of land under his name, and the other land, Dingkou, also cooperated with the government inspection.

Later, I inquired about it, and it was said that Huang Gongzi fell in love with an ancient painting at that time. But the painting cost 800 taels, and he didn't have enough cash in his hand. As a result, the dog official Liu Chaozuo took out two thousand taels of silver at once, and introduced two women to him as bodyguards, and he took the initiative to cooperate with the land acquisition work.

As soon as he defected, the squires counted on the power of the government to suppress the government's hope that the government was completely bankrupt, so they had to rely on force to fight against the land seizure. At the beginning, the imperial court did not think about re-examining the land and re-calculating taxes. However, due to the tradition of Ming officials not going to the countryside, the county magistrate could not come to the front line in person. At most, the clerk took the card and came down to register it.

As long as the squires make friends with the clerks, there will be no harm to themselves in this land seizure. For example, reducing the area of the title deed. The real number is large, but the number written is small, or it is sent in the name of the dead. Then make the land not exist, and even the land is not registered. Everyone's hands are a bad book. It's just that with the help of officials, there is collusion between inside and outside. That's what this yellow and white book is all about.

As for the officials who refuse to cooperate, that is to toast and not eat and drink. Who doesn't have a hundred and ten young and strong descendants, and when the time comes, each of them will surround people with a military blade, are you afraid that he will not obediently admit his mistake and apologize to all the villagers?

However, the last time the army was besieged in the city, the dog officer in Xiangshan took the opportunity to collect the ordnance. And because of the White Lotus Rebellion, Guangdong is very afraid of the private armed forces, many of which were originally agreed to be set up by the government, but later they were all suppressed by the White Lotus, and how dare the people of the eleventh capital dare to stand hard. The iron armor, long soldiers, and even earthen guns and cannons hidden in the house were all collected.

Now the children of each family can only hold short soldiers in their hands, and they don't even have a piece of armor, and their combat effectiveness has greatly decreased. But for the sake of the field, you have to fight anyway. As long as Eleven advances and retreats together, are you afraid that he will dare to kill them all? If you really kill too many people, you don't believe that he won't take off the seal.

With this thought, the Chen family gathered Ding Zhuang in a few days and was ready to start fighting at any time. The kitchen at home was busy day and night, preparing dry food and food for Ding Zhuang, and the money was spent like water, but if he didn't do this, what could he do.

Liang Ruimin's children are accustomed to doing business, and in terms of combat effectiveness, his family is the best in each family. Originally, it was expected that they could withstand the pressure of the county government, and everyone had a way. I don't know that Liu Chaozuo actually broke the rules and personally led the team to the countryside, it is said that even the cannon was brought, and it was in the posture of going to fight.

Not to mention, Liang Ruimin, the mainstay, didn't even arrive, and directly led the team to surrender. What is this? Chen Rongtai didn't know how many times he scolded, but the scolding in front of him definitely couldn't solve the problem, so he had to order someone to go to the direction of Liang's house to inquire about the information again. He also said: "Please invite the patriarchs of other clans to come, and say that Liang Ruimin's old thief has already voted for the government, and our other families must join forces to keep the ancestral inheritance." ”

He is an older man, and many of the patriarchs of other clans are his juniors, and it is said that he came as soon as he called. Mobilize the young and strong people in each capital, and have thousands of strong men in their own hands, and they will have the capital to fight against the government. But the people who were sent out this time were all closed, and no one was invited.

"Old lady, we heard that those patriarchs went to the Liang family with gifts and kowtowed to the county order. Some of them still have their own land deeds, and some of them have their own account books, and it seems that eighty percent of them have been dropped. ”

"Bastard! A bunch of soft bones, which are nothing more than two cannons, scared them out? I don't believe that he dared to shoot at us. My family's land is left by my ancestors, and my ancestors have been desperately expanding their own land, and we must not let the government take advantage of our Chen family. ”

In Liangjiazhuang, Li Yanqing looked at the title deeds, and the smiling faces, and also said in harmony:

"I didn't expect you to be so aware of the righteousness, take the initiative to report the number of fields to the government, and are willing to pay the tax arrears. This saved the strength of the officials and contributed to the imperial court. What you do, this official will definitely report to the court, you must believe in the court, believe in the government, and will not treat people with meritorious service badly. As long as you work with peace of mind and pay taxes in accordance with the law in the future, I will not pursue the past matters. ”

It is true that this matter of the land inspection has caused damage to all families. However, Liang Ruimin has already dispersed the wind behind his back, and these losses can be earned back in the future port opening trade.

On the contrary, if you bite and hold on, then although the sea trade is not yours, the land will not be able to be defended. Wu Dashuai's words are, first by Xiangshan County, Xiangshan County work can not be carried out by the Guangzhou government, Guangzhou Government can't be implemented, by the Fubiao Battalion, you yourself touch a few heads, can resist the Fubiao Battalion?
