It is true that as Tang Guangde expected, these four decrees, especially the one on clearing the fields, caused an uproar as soon as they came out.

Although in recent years, Suzhou has flourished in all industries and industry, and a large number of citizens have been separated from the fields, but outside the city there are still vast fertile fields, there are countless rural gentry, and a large number of landlords live in the city.

If there is a notice to clear the soil at another time, it may not attract much attention, and it is mostly a formality. But now the official in charge of the house in Suzhou City is the minister Fang Yingwu, which makes the landlords not calm.

Fang Qincha had just cut off the heads of more than 30 people, and now his bones were still cold, it could be seen from this that this Lord Fang must be a ruthless character who was severely punished. If anyone bumps into his tuyere, it will definitely be uncomfortable.

In fact, after so many years of accumulation, many big landlords are more or less tired. Especially in places like Suzhou, the benefits of hiding the land are greater than elsewhere.

In other places, the benefits of hiding an acre of land may be one stone of grain per year, but in Suzhou Prefecture, where the yield per mu is very high, the benefits of hiding an acre of land are about two or three stone of grain per year.

With the temptation of such high returns, there are quite a few people who are tempted by the land, and now under the prestige of Fang Qincha, they are a little restless.

However, the discussion outside seemed to have no impact on the other party's things, and now there is only one thing that gives Fang Daqin a headache, and that is Yuan Fengxiao's stubborn fighting.

In the early morning of this day, Fang Yingwu had just woken up, and was blocked by Yuan Niangzi under the head of the bed, wrapped in a quilt and facing Yuan Niangzi.

I saw Yuan Niangzi asking with a grudge: "When the slave family showed up to run for you, you agreed. After driving out the eunuchs, they had to seek justice for the slave family to go home and destroy people.

Now that half a month has passed, why haven't you seen any movement? You're not saying. Just use the Han family to kill the big family? ”

Fang Yingwu explained without a temper: "The time has not yet come, don't be impatient!" Yuan Fengxiao asked, "When is the time?" ”

Fang Yingwu thought about it. I don't know whether to change the topic or ask with other thoughts: "You said that the Han family occupied your family's land ten years ago and caused your family to be ruined, is there any evidence?" ”

Yuan Fengxiao hurriedly replied: "The slave family treasures the title deed ten years ago, which is enough to prove that the land was originally owned by my Yuan family. ”

Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment before he said: "There must also be a title deed in the Han family, there must always be a difference between truth and falsehood between your two title deeds, if you need to act at the opportunity!" ”

At this time, Wang Ying stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Tang Yuan came out to visit his son, and by the way, I want to meet Master Qincha!" ”

"If you have something to do, don't make trouble yet!" Fang Yingwu took the opportunity to dodge. Yuan Niangzi muttered a few words, and reluctantly let go.

Tang Guangde has a sense of responsibility for his own future and destiny tied to Fang Qincha. So he felt that it was necessary for him to remind Fang Yingwu. What's more, Fang Qincha also said that if he heard any public opinion trends, he could come to the mansion to report it.

Seeing Fang Yingwu, Tang Yuanwai's words were like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "Now the discussion outside is very intense, especially the cleaning of the fields!"

As far as I heard the discussion on the second and third floors of the Wangjiang Building, most of them were very disgusted and criticized a lot. Lord Fang should still be cautious! ”

The first floor of Wangjiang Tower entertains ordinary people, and the second floor entertains wealthy families. The third floor entertains readers, and this rule is very well understood. Hearing Tang Yuanwai's relay, Fang Yingwu smiled and said, "Really? That's good. ”

"The fiercer the opposition of public opinion, the greater the resistance. Can this also be applauded? Tang Guangde was stunned, and once again found that he couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the object, what did Lord Qincha think?

Fang Yingwu nodded. "It's really good. are all concerned about clearing the land, so no one is making trouble for the sake of equalizing the consumption of rice, forcing the rich to donate and a few other things, right? ”

Tang Yuanwai was speechless. After that, he fell into self-doubt, could it be that Fang Daqin was confident. And you are worried?

If you think about it, the focus is on clearing the soil, and the other few items are much less resistant. Compared with being asked to clean up the land, adding some loss and being forced to donate some rice is really not a big deal.

Even if the land clearing affairs cannot be completed, with the help of several other measures, the task of requisitioning grain can always be accomplished without leaving ten - could it be that this is Fang Qincha's strategy?

Afraid that Fang Qincha would be upset because of public opinion, Tang Guangde took the initiative to comfort and said: "In fact, the discussion is not completely opposed, and there are many people who praise you. ”

Fang Yingwu asked with interest: "How can you praise it?" Tang Guangde replied: "There are many poor people who praise your lords, you are to eliminate violence, be peaceful, kill the rich and help the poor!" ”

Fang Yingwu was stunned, "Is there still a way to do it for heaven?" Tang Guangde exclaimed: "It turns out that adults have also heard of it!" ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless, is this talking about the minister of the Qin Mission or the hero of the green forest? Thinking about it, it is indeed similar, several of his measures are plucked from the rich, no wonder the poor have some illusions.

sent Tang Guangde away, but saw that the prince of the concubine Yu's sister arrived from Hangzhou. Fang Yingwu was taken aback, "Why did you come so quickly?" ”

Although Wang Kui is now a wealthy businessman, he still lowered his profile in front of Fang Yingwu, "Since I got your call, I don't dare to delay, after talking to my brother, I immediately rushed to Suzhou Mansion day and night." ”

Fang Yingwu praised: "It's good, now there is a big deal for you!" This time, I will entrust you to go to Huguang to buy rice, and then transport it to Guazhou Cang, and you can use it as tax grain in Fuxian County after you get the return ticket.

The people of Suzhou are still skeptical about this, so please give them an example and guide the local wealthy businessmen to follow suit. Huguang Liangdao participated in politics is my protégé of old Taishan, I repair a letter to ask him to take care of and assist, you can rest assured to go. ”

Wang Kui agreed without saying a word, and then said: "If the number is small, there is no demonstration significance, and it still requires a lot of money." I'll first transfer the silver taels from Hangzhou, and then I can set off. ”

Fang Yingwu pointed to the wing, "You don't have to move silver from Hangzhou anymore!" The capital is there, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I will assign a sergeant to protect you, which is enough to worry. ”

Wang Kui patted his chest and agreed, and the big deal of tens of thousands of taels of silver was casually finalized. Then the two of them started chatting, they hadn't seen each other for several years, so naturally there was a lot of gossip.

Wang Kui remembered what he had seen on the road, and he was also worried about Fang Yingwu, "When I was on the road, I heard other people's discussions, and I was really worried that your methods were too drastic, and it would be unpleasant to provoke an accident." ”

For people like Wang Kui, there is naturally nothing to hide, Fang Yingwu said in his heart: "To be honest, I tell you that there is no predetermined goal for cleaning up the land, and it is best to find one or two big landlords to establish their authority and intimidate a group of people to surrender."

No matter how many acres of land are cleared, they are actually earned, and the excess can be counted in this year's grain collection task.

As for the fact that the official will not be able to manage so far in the future, and if he can manage this year and complete the dispatch of the imperial court, then he will have a clear conscience. ”

Wang Kui was still worried, "Although your idea is feasible, it is not impossible to take a few big households to establish power." But we should also pay attention to some eating problems, as the so-called teacher is famous.

If it's too obvious, and others see that you're deliberately looking for those big households, what's the difference between it and people like eunuch Wang Jing? If that's the case, you're falling behind, and you're not doing well with your reputation. ”

Fang Ying was not stressed, "But don't worry, you don't have to worry about it, I've thought of this a long time ago!" When the time comes, naturally someone will jump out and die, and the official will obey and rebel! (To be continued......)
