Chapter 525: The Hao Family
"It's too deceitful!" Liu Yuqi's beard was about to blow up, and he made a summary.
The Liu family has a big business, after the grain is mulberry, the income of an acre of land has indeed increased several times, and it has indeed increased a lot of income for the Liu family in the past two years.
This is the human heart, the human heart is, but if anyone dares to take anything in their pot, they must do their best, even if their property is enough to ensure that they have fresh clothes, angry horses, fine clothes and food.
Even Liu Yu, who is known as an uncle who reads poetry and books in Zhejiang, is the same.
Wang Kang of the Qingtian Wang family said: "Yes, it's just that the deception is too much, but this governor is obviously determined, he has already announced all the prefectures and counties, and even the Ming Pao has been published, obviously this is determined to do this matter to the end, uncle, say something that shouldn't be said, this Xu Futai is young after all, isn't he being fooled, so he made this stupid move?" ”
Wang Kang was quite polite, he only dared to oppose the eunuch but not the emperor, although the rhetoric was fierce, after all, it was still within the scope of the Qing monarch's side. The reason why this is so is because Xu Qian's reputation in Zhejiang is too great, and no one can guarantee that there are no 'fans' of Xu Qian among the people here.
Liu Yu nodded his head and said: "The old man also thinks so, in fact, it is not easy for everyone, he wants to benefit the people, the old man has nothing to say, but the benefit of the people is not to use us to benefit the people, if so, directly let each family open a warehouse and release grain, why bother so much?" In my opinion, it is true that he may have been deceived, after all, he is young. ”
An old squire sitting on the side rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's the provincial governor over there, I hope the uncle will come forward." Make a ......"
"Is that Zhou Chang?" Liu Yu remembered this person.
"Yes, it's him, he revealed the news......"
Liu Yu's eyes narrowed, and he smiled calmly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, although I have received the grace of the saint, but I have been cultivating the green fields, and I want to discipline some disciples who are not successful to study here, who knows in this last year." Even Zhejiang is becoming more and more peaceful. ”
He slowly knocked on the table with his hand, and then said: "Xu Futai is the benefactor of Zhejiang after all, without him, I don't know how many people in Zhejiang will suffer from the Japanese invaders." With him, Zhejiang can be stable, so this Zhou Chang, don't pay attention to it for the time being, once he gets involved with him, he will be used as a gun, and there will be trouble at that time. We are the vanguard, it is not necessarily a matter of who we are charging for, the old man is fine, you are just a group of ordinary squires. There are a few lives to fight with others, and if you want to fight, it will not be fought here in Zhejiang, but in the temple. You really want to be a chess piece, but don't end up being an outcast. ”
Listened to this sentence. Everyone secretly shook their tongues and couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Liu Yu said: "However, this tax cannot be paid, starting from this and forming a law, the loss will not be a little bit, and in the long run, everyone will suffer." ”
Wang Kang couldn't help but say: "But if you don't pay it, what should I do?" This is the first fire in Futai's tenure, and when the time comes, don't sacrifice our heads to the flag. ”
Liu Yu squinted, but also felt a headache, on the one hand, he knew that in this Zhejiang, there was an undercurrent, this undercurrent, naturally aimed at the new governor, but he would never think that Xu Qian was a soft persimmon, therefore, he would never participate in this struggle, because once the fight is started, there will be success or failure, and if you win, the people who benefit the most are some people in the temple, but if you lose, many people will be unlucky, and he Liu Yu may not be able to survive.
So whether he is on Xu Qian's side, or on the opposite side of Xu Qian, it is what the Liu family does not want to see, the Liu family has been in business for several generations, and it can have today's scale, relying on muffled voices to make a fortune, since Liu Ji's lesson, future generations know that living a down-to-earth life is better than anything else.
If you don't fight, how can you be good? The interests involved here are too great, not to mention Qingtian, half of the gentry in Zhejiang are looking at themselves, if they suffer this loss today, not to mention that everyone will have to cut off the flesh of their hearts in the future, as soon as this precedent is opened, the government will taste the sweetness, maybe in the future I don't know how much will be apportioned to their heads, this is absolutely not allowed.
"What about this matter......" Liu Yu pondered for a moment, not knowing what to do, but a steward came over, and said: "Master, the governor of the yamen posted a notice again, saying that in a few days, please wait until the yamen to eat and drink, and Lord Futai will personally set up a banquet. ”
snatched a handful, and came to another banquet, and the bad words should be explained clearly and clearly.
Liu Yu was confused.
But......
For this character with mixed reputation, I believe that most people still want to see each other, but Liu Yu was interested, and said: "In this case, don't say anything at the moment, just do whatever you want, and wait for that time to reveal." It is said that this Xu Futai is the reincarnation of Qu Xing, and he will not be so stupid if he thinks about it, listen to his words, and watch his deeds. ”
Everyone nodded one after another, in fact, there were also people who wanted to make a fuss with that patrol, but now that Liu Yu had spoken, it was not good to make any moves.
The change of the tax system, in Zhejiang internal riots, the prefects, the county yamen, has begun to send messengers to investigate the situation of mulberry fields and grain fields, the messengers everywhere, at the same time as the land of Qingzhang, many students have also moved, it is said that many Wang Xuetang in the provincial capital have taken a holiday, let the students return to their hometowns, in order to supervise the effect of Qingzhang Tianmu, if the land of the Yamen Qingzhang is different from what everyone has seen and heard, but where there are students to report, will be rewarded.
The students are in a panic, and it is also boring to study in the academy every day, Wang Xue is shouting the unity of knowledge and action every day, but every day is knowledge, but there is no line, and now everyone is given the opportunity to do it, and these people will be scattered like bait, and everyone also thinks it is interesting, and go back to urge not to mention it.
Not only that, but Ming Pao has sent editors to various prefectures to take the news at any time, and the difference between mulberry fields and grain fields is too great, and if the government deliberately includes the grain fields of ordinary people as mulberry fields, there will definitely be people who want to make trouble. And if there is a large family of mulberry fields directly classified as grain fields, naturally there are also people to report, there are a few errand servants and large families in Ningbo to jointly conceal the report, after being reported, the governor Yamen directly removed the main book in charge of this matter, sent people to arrest a few errand servants to the provincial capital, parade the streets, the big offenders also caught a few, this matter is unmistakably published in the Ming Pao widely announced, since then, but many people are honest, do not dare to do anything in this clear land.
It's just such a big move, some people can't help but be panicked, although the ordinary people are applauding, and they almost don't have to bear the grain tax from now on, but for those big mulberry growers, they are all like mourning, and at this time, Xu Qian is sitting firmly in the governor's yamen, indifferent to the affairs of the outside world, and after a few days, there are many people from local wealthy families who have arrived in the provincial capital, intending to negotiate with the Futai lord.
On this day and night, the governor's yamen was brightly lit, and a banquet was quietly opened.
There are a lot of gentry who came, all of whom were well-known figures in various prefectures and counties, among which the big landlords, such as the Qingtian Liu family, the Xiangshan Lu family, the Cixi Yang family, the Chun'an Zeng family, etc., have all arrived.
And the people who came were not children, most of them were the heads of the family, on the one hand, it was to show Xiàn's respect for Lord Futai, and on the other hand, this matter was related to the vital interests of the clan, and he had to take matters into his own hands.
Zhejiang's land, at least about thirty percent are in the hands of these people, they have not only a huge family business, not only tens of millions of acres of land, but also a prominent family background, as long as the family tree is taken out, there will be prominent figures within three generations.
On the one hand, the ancestors of the Liu family are the founding heroes of the country, ranking first-class, on the other hand, the Liu family still has a title, and the current head of the Liu family, Liu Yu, is a rare Confucian in Zhejiang Province, although he is not an official, but there are a lot of chapters, he is the leader of Shilin, everyone's eyes naturally fall on him, Du Ba looks, the Liu family can come out of this.
Fortunately, the governor's yamen occupies a lot of land, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people, some wealthy families have been invited into the main hall, and the rest of the people can only sit outside, but obviously Xu Qian did not snub them, and has ordered many officials to come to accompany them, the atmosphere is also harmonious, and it is still early, so first served tea, Xu Qian personally carried Liu Yu in, and said: "I have heard the name of the sincere Bo, and the ancestor has been respected by the official for a long time. ”
Liu Yu was also full of red light, this guy gave himself a lot of face, and in front of so many people, it really made him happy. If someone else says this, forget it, this Xu Qian is from the top of the six heads, and now he is a parent official in Zhejiang, and he is a teacher and Xie Qian, whether it is his family background, background, current identity and fame, he is now the top, and now he is so polite, it is very different.
What this represents is an attitude, and it is enough to have this attitude.
If it is an ordinary governor, Liu Yu may not feel anything when he says this, after all, the Liu family is not an ordinary family, it can be seen that the quality of this speech depends on the identity of the person, and if it is not spoken, it will give people a completely different feeling.
