After Han Xiong disappeared from the door, there was a sense of depression in everyone's hearts during the banquet, which was a bit of a sense of breaking through the red dust. Not for Master Han, but for himself.

Who was sent to prison by Master Han? The Zen principle in this seems to be infinitely mysterious. After seeing through this "public opinion", the emotions of the people became indescribably gloomy and a little discouraged.

The feeling of being led by the nose from beginning to end, as if he had lost all autonomy, and was used as a marionette to finish the play he was supposed to play, is a terrible feeling in retrospect.

Why didn't you stand up bravely at that time and express your disagreement to Lord Chincha? The most frightening thing is that if you do it all over again, it will probably still be like this, and if human weakness can be overcome so easily, it is not a weakness.

Press the mixed tastes of the people in the Wangjiang Tower, and a large number of gossip people also gathered outside the Wangjiang Tower. They didn't know the specific situation inside the Wangjiang Tower, but they could only know that Fang Qincha and a group of local celebrities were drinking and feasting.

Later, I saw that Master Han, who was outside the Ping Gate, was tied up, and then tied up again half an hour later, and it was said that he would be sent to the government prison to be detained.

Then the ship began to unload, and the various trunks and cages were lifted down and transported to the city in vehicles.

Through this movement, the people of Suzhou can finally be sure of one thing, Lord Qincha will definitely not leave. This is good news to celebrate!

As time passed, all kinds of insider stories gradually came out. The most mainstream theory is that it is said that Fang Qincha is very face-saving, and after being slandered by rumors, he really plans to leave in anger.

But he was persuaded by local celebrities such as Mr. Li Yingzhen. Fang Qincha moved. Then, in order to appease Fang Qincha's anger, local celebrities took the initiative to accuse the Han family of crimes. endorsed Fang Qincha's innocence and sent Han Xiong to the government prison pending trial.

When the inside story is gradually revealed. One by one, several families with close ties to Han Xiong were imprisoned and awaiting trial by the Yamen.

Fang Yingwu only left for one day, and then moved back to the mansion, everything inside was almost untouched, and his entourage did not have any special emotions, just a drill.

Only in order to take revenge on Yuan Niangzi, who was by the side of Lord Qincha, was depressed, Fang Yingwu observed a few times by candlelight, and then asked, "Why are you doing this?" Shouldn't we be happy that the great revenge will be avenged? ”

Yuan Fengxiao sighed: "The slave family really didn't expect it. You don't even need the evidence of the slave family at all, and you can easily send that Han Master to prison, like a white wolf with empty gloves. Your scheming makes the slave family incomprehensible and a little scared. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't understand either, and asked again, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Yuan Fengxiao's expression was gloomy, "The slave family originally thought that if they couldn't find someone to marry, they would be able to stay by your side." Now it seems that it is better to forget it, you really can't reassure the slave family. The slave family cannot be allowed to feel at peace. ”

Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly, "Your control is too strong, and if you can't grasp others, you won't feel at ease, because of the lack of security caused by what you have encountered since childhood!" But take your pick. Anyway, without me, you are enough to worry about food and clothing in Jiangnan. ”

"Although the slave family is willful, can you leave a thought for the slave family?" Yuan Fengxiao was moved again for some reason. Close to Fang Yingwu asked lightly gasping for breath.

Fang Yingwu was confused and didn't know what to say: "What do you want?" ”

"Don't play stupid!" Yuan Niangzi slammed Lord Qincha down on the bed board, "From today on." When it comes to the critical moment, you are not allowed to pull it out. ”

Now this government is Fang Yingwu's puppet, and the key cases that the other party Yingwu is concerned about will naturally be judged quickly.

Han Xiong was charged with disobeying the edict of the Qincha and illegally occupying the land. He was sentenced to exile and exile. All the hidden fields were cleared and confiscated, and the Han family was fined ten years to pay taxes.

The other eight were accomplices, so they were treated leniently, except for fines, and were only ordered to clear the land and pay back taxes.

A total of 5,000 acres of hidden land by various means were found in these nine families, and a total of 10,000 stone was paid in taxes.

As Fang Yingwu had predicted, the deterrent effect of investigating and dealing with these nine families still exists. Some landlords whose backgrounds were not strong enough, or whose methods of concealing their fields were not secret enough, were worried about being reported, so they took the initiative to report to the yamen and paid taxes for ten years according to the rules.

Odds and pieces add up, but there are also 40,000 or 50,000 mu, and more than 100,000 stone of tax grain have been recovered, adding another piece to this year's grain collection plan.

Fang Yingwu shook his head helplessly, according to his estimates, the hidden land in Suzhou Prefecture should be in the order of hundreds of thousands of mu, and the inventory is only one-tenth of it.

But he didn't have the time or the ability to clean it all up, so he could only rely on grasping typical deterrence to achieve a little success. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and the hundreds of thousands of stone money and food can be regarded as adding to his political achievements.

Time passed day by day, although Fang Yingwu was based in Suzhou Prefecture, he also sent the Qincha Decree to other nearby prefectures, as for the specific effect, I can't care about it for the time being.

Suzhou Mansion is the top priority, and half of the money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River comes from Suzhou Mansion, so it is enough to really grasp Suzhou Mansion. In other places, for the time being, you can only beat rabbits with grass.

In the blink of an eye, it's October. According to the imperial decree, October is the time to start collecting autumn grain, that is to say, the most critical time has come for the grain inspectors.

From October to the end of the year, how much grain he can collect will determine the final results of his mission.

The amount of taxes paid by Suzhou Prefecture is the highest in the world, and the rated tax set by Emperor Xuande is 2 million stones, and last year's arrears due to floods were 700,000 stones, and the arrears of the ages are incalculable.

And for Fang Yingwu, two million stones is the lowest line. The more he increased his income on the basis of two million stones, the greater his political achievements would be, and of course, the more difficult it would be.

If he can complete the grain collection in full this year and make up for the 700,000 arrears of last year, then Fang Daqin will be an immortal.

Nowadays, there are more than 100,000 stone back taxes from the rich households, and 100,000 stone back taxes collected from clearing the fields, which add up to more than 200,000 yuan. After completing about two million stones, Fang Yingwu can basically be regarded as a good completion task.

The specific affairs of the autumn harvest and grain collection are naturally to be worried about by various yamen, and Fang Yingwu can't manage them so carefully, so he can only look at the latest account books and calculate his own tasks.

At the beginning of October, when Fang Yingwu was tossing and turning around idly, he suddenly heard a report saying: "Wang Kui has returned from Huguang!" ”

Fang Daqin immediately dropped the account book and went out of the door impatiently, he had high hopes for Wang Kui.

At the beginning, Wang Yuanwai was ordered by Fang Yingwu to take the 50,000 taels of silver deducted from the procurement eunuch and went to Huguang to sell rice and grain.

The intention is to be an example and guide the wealthy businessmen of Suzhou to follow the example and break a new path. The ultimate goal is to rely on the increase in income from Huguang to supplement the current situation of Suzhou's declining rice surplus due to population growth.

Nearly two months have passed, and I don't know what the situation is on Wang Kui's side. Fang Yingwu, who is full of confidence because he is familiar with the general trend of history, thinks about this matter carefully, and inevitably has some gains and losses.

After all, the general trend is only the general trend, and the success or failure of a single case is determined by the details, even if someone will always do it in the end, there is no guarantee that Wang Kui will succeed this time. (To be continued......)
