The turmoil of recruiting people has not passed, and soon, an even more shocking event occurred in Anyang County!

The new county magistrate of Anyang County, Mr. Zhang, has openly tried the case of tax evasion and tax evasion of the Zhao family!

The ordinary people watched the excitement, but the businessmen in Anyang County couldn't feel at ease, and they kept a close eye on the progress of the case one by one, for fear that the case would implicate their own families.

However, because no one dared to help, the Zhao family had accumulated evil for many years, relying on the support of the previous Anyang County lord, not only tax evasion, but also the crimes of reckless human life, robbing women from good families, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and oppressing good people, all of which were conclusively convicted, so the trial was quickly convicted within two days.

"Men within the three clans of the Zhao family, those over the age of 14 will be immediately beheaded, and those under the age of 14 will be exiled for 3,000 miles together with their female dependents, and all family property will be confiscated."

On the tenth day of the first month, the case was closed.

Seeing that Zhang County's order did not mean to investigate other merchants, all the wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief, but they also came to a conclusion: This person is not easy to mess with, he is ruthless, and it is better to be safe and secure in the future.

As for the taxes that these people evaded, Zhang Minghuang quickly thought of a way to make them make up for it.

On the twentieth day of the first month, the county government issued an official document to raise funds from all walks of life, planning to build roads and bridges for the townships and towns in the county.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first." This is what Gu Yuqiao told Zhang Minghuang, and she promised that there would be no mistake in this.

Never before have the merchants made such a happy donation as this one.

And after the Zhao family was raided, the copied family wealth was staggering.

There are more than 20 Zhuangzi alone, and each Zhuangzi has an average of 50 acres of land. There are more than 20 shops and properties everywhere, gold, silver and jewelry, and 700,000 taels, and hundreds of slaves who have signed death deeds.

And the salt merchant's business was finally taken back by Landlord Zhang.

The days have come to the end of March, and in the spring ploughing season, the rape planted in Osmanthus Village has also reached the harvest season.

Because of the cultivation of many crops, the farmers of Osmanthus Village have been busy even in winter and before spring ploughing, but they are all happy, especially when this kind of harvest is made.

Because their labor has been exchanged for a more and more prosperous life.

After the rapeseed is harvested and sold, it is an extra income, and the remaining roots and stems are directly ploughed with the soil to make fertilizer for the first season of rice.

At this time, Gu Yuqiao was busy raising seedlings, using seeds produced in the space.

She wanted to see if the seeds produced in the space could be cultivated well, and the yield could be raised to a higher level.

And what she wants to offer this time is not only the field of Osmanthus Village, but also the field of the landlord Zhang's family and the field of her grandmother's house, which is the most in demand, and it is the thousands of acres of land confiscated by the Zhao family by the government.

The 1,000 acres of land confiscated were confiscated and went into the treasury, but the fields in such a small place as Anyang County are now sold to fill the treasury with silver money, or when the emperor remembers who he will reward, there is no statute.

Waiting for the household department to deal with it, I don't know when there will be news.

But Zhang Minghuang can't let these lands be wasted, because the law stipulates that unless there are special circumstances such as disasters, it is a sin to have fields and not plant them.

Although these fields belong to the state, if they are wasted, it will be Zhang Minghuang's dereliction of duty.

This dynasty did not set up a special agricultural official position in the local area, and Gu Qianyu is now in charge of agriculture in Anyang County, so Zhang Minghuang handed over the thousand acres of land to him to take care of, so that he could find a way to cultivate.
