Chapter 608: Conflict

Xu Qian is indeed doing all kinds of small actions, he is a person who is not willing to be lonely, a person is not willing to be lonely, he inevitably wants to sing karaoke, but it is obvious that this is the Ming Dynasty, the reality of the Ming Dynasty is that there is no entertainment that Xu looks down on here, so in addition to scolding people in the book, Xu Qian has to do something meaningful.

This sacrifice to Confucius raised Xu Qian's prestige in Nanjing to the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, the colleges everywhere also began to be lively, and they invited Xu Qian to give lectures, this kind of thing, Xu Qian was naturally not polite, of course, he did not hesitate to come down.

And every time he went to the academy, countless people flocked to the academy after hearing about it, and the number of students who listened to the lecture each time was thousands.

Xu Qian wants to talk about the relationship between Wang Xue and the New Deal, in his opinion, simply to say the unity of knowledge and action, this is his weakness, compared with those Wang Xue Confucianism, his theoretical level is too poor, and the New Deal, is what he is good at, the theory can be described as a set, but it has won a lot of support.

Of course, there will be some students who will directly ask practical questions, can this new deal be rolled out in Nanzhili? It stands to reason that since the imperial court has issued an edict and praised the new policy, why doesn't Nanzhili follow suit this new policy?

Xu Qian's answer was very simple: "Yes." ”

The students were excited, and some people couldn't help asking: "My lord, since it can be rolled out, why doesn't Nanzhili follow Zhejiang." ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "This, I have to ask all the adults of Nanzhili." ”

The students were excited, and they immediately understood what they meant, Xu Futai's words meant very deeply.

In fact, the recent increase in the levy of official grain has caused the whole Nanjing to be unpeaceful, the students are scolding, the landlords are also scolding, although there are factory guards in the investigation, those officials do not dare to act on the small people recklessly, but do not forget, the landlords levy official grain, re-clear the land, if they really let them all bear the burden, will not let them drink the northwest wind?

Therefore, in the end, these pressures still have to be pressed on the heads of those tenants, and the land rent will inevitably rise, so the common people will either leave their homes and simply run away, or they will still be scolded.

I heard that in Nanjing alone, I don't know how many people went bankrupt, and the landlords simply set off a boom in land sales, these people, originally seeking stability, also held their own identity, and were unwilling to engage in business, but as long as only the landlord still did it, they would continue to survive. But now, even the landlords can't do it anymore, without raising the rent, the grain tax is so high, and the land rent has been reduced for two years in a row, and it is difficult for a large family to maintain. But if you increase the rent, the tenants will have to run away, after all, now is not as good as before, in the past you were exploited by the landlord at will, but now, they have a choice, the rent is too high, it is a big deal to run away with the family.

A large amount of land was sold, and a large number of people went to the city to do business, and a large number of land was sold, and a new problem appeared, that is, the price of land began to plummet, and the original 340 taels of silver per acre of paddy field were now directly cut in half, after all, the general land, except for growing grain, really did not have much effect, and growing grain was a matter of discounting, and the final result was that the enthusiasm for buying land was getting lower and lower, and the craze for selling land was rising.

Many small and medium-sized landlords could not sustain themselves by growing grain, and on the other hand, the land was rotten in their hands and they were almost in a desperate situation.

The same is true for many farmers who are reluctant to leave their homes, who are reluctant to bear high rents on the one hand, but are unwilling to take risks on the other.

These people are actually closely related to scholars, and such contradictions have become more and more acute in Nanzhili.

The students who listened to the class heard Xu Futai's encouragement and listened to many complaints from the villagers, and they were immediately furious.

The whole Nanjing love began to brew slowly, and there seemed to be a little more anger in the air.

And the fuse finally appeared, a landlord in Gaochun County, Nanjing, because the land was uncultivated, was blackmailed by the government, and the official misreported the number of acres of his land, so that he could not pay the official grain needed by the government, and as a result, he committed suicide by hanging beams.

People die like lights going out, but no one would have thought that this incident immediately caused a shock.

The surname of the dead landlord is Wang, a single name is a dust word, Wang Chen is also a celebrity in the local area, but in his generation, the family road is slightly down, but there are four or five hundred acres of land in the family, and there are more than a dozen people in the family, but they can barely have something to eat.

But who would have thought that the recent drop in land rent has made the income of the Wang family lower and lower, so they have to cut back on food and clothing, after all, the family has a large population, as a local celebrity, how much has to put some scores, ushering in the send-off, the cost is not small.

In his life, as long as he doesn't marry too many women and doesn't get into the bad habit of gambling, he can be said to have peace of mind, after all, the rent is small and the land rent, and the ancestral houses and fields are still there, but who knows, the government is going to clear the land.

In fact, he doesn't have much land, so there is no need to hide it, but the servants received the death order from the above, and they must pay off the official grain of 50,000 acres of land. Since they can't, like the Wang family, they just started it, so after the Qingzhang, the servants came to the conclusion that the Wang family had 1,700 acres of land.

The real land of the Wang family is only four or five hundred acres, but the amount of official food to be paid is three or four times that of the real land.

It is not easy for the officers, and if he does not complete the task, the county officials will beat him. And the Wang family is even more difficult, all year round, no food, no drink, no way to pay off these official grains, for someone else, long ago sold the land and ran away, but this Mr. Wang is an afterthought, feel that this is the ancestral property, reluctant, until the servants reached out to him to ask, he was in a hurry to sell the land, but who knows, the price of land plummeted, an acre of land, can not even be sold for fifteen taels of silver, even if fifteen taels of silver, no one dares to take this hot potato.

After several urgings by the servants, Wang Chen's psychological quality was really low, and he couldn't think about it all of a sudden, so he simply died.

But when he died, the family stopped doing it.

The deception is too great, and you dare to bully the landlord.

You have to understand that ordinary tenant people, how you bully is one thing, because these people, in their hearts, have turned themselves into lowly positions, someone bullies him, most of them laugh at themselves, who calls their own family cheap, this is right. Someone beat him, and at most he scolded behind his back, but when he saw the officials, he still smiled.

But the gentry are different, the gentry belong to the privileged class, they themselves think very highly of themselves, and they are all celebrities, they should be bullying people, but they never thought that someone would force themselves to death.

People died, but several sons couldn't stand it, and one of the sons was still a child in the county school, and at this point, he could only make trouble.

So, the entire Wang family mobilized, gathered hundreds of clansmen, and directly carried the coffin to Nanjing.

There is a strategy for coming to Nanjing, after all, the Wang family is not those ordinary people, they are very smart, and the county is now thinking about the grain requisition, this matter, the county will definitely cover up, because today for this matter to beat those errand soldiers, in the future, the matter of requisition of grain, even if it is yellow. For the sake of the county's political achievements, he will definitely not care.

Since the county can't get justice, then go to Nanjing, after all, there are so many ministries in Nanjing, there are so many masters, and the Wang family is in Nanjing, how many people know them, after thinking clearly, they do not hesitate, and then, they appear at the door of the Nanjing Mansion Yamen.

The fuse had been lit, and the powder keg had exploded.

If it's just one person's grievance, it doesn't matter, because people are often selfish, your family encounters this kind of thing, everyone is deeply sympathetic, at most they will scold a few words, after all, this kind of thing is not universal, but now since the increase in official food, many people's interests have been damaged, and almost everyone has resonated.

In addition, Xu Futai lectured everywhere, and some officials in Nanjing also began to talk about the benefits of the new policy.

These people vaguely feel that the government is not an iron bucket.

Finally, on the 19th day of November, under the continuous rain, at the gate of Yingtianfu, countless people flocked to it.

One by one, the heads of the crowd, and the people who were full of righteous indignation, surrounded this Ying Tianfu at this time.

Their demands are different, some are asking for a reduction or exemption of grain taxes, and some simply want to implement a new policy, Ying Tianfu's servants have been stunned, and want to drive away, but they see that the other party is overwhelmed, for fear of causing some accidents, but if they are indifferent, they are only afraid of the adults......

Someone immediately reported to Yin Zhu Mao of Yingtianfu, Zhu Mao was shocked, and he immediately scolded: "It must be surnamed Xu, it must be a ghost surnamed Xu, the surname Xu is bold, and he actually incited the people to make trouble, does he want to rebel?" ”

scolded and scolded, but it was Xu Qian who instigated you to bite, but there is no evidence at all, there is no evidence at all, but you want to break down Xu Qian's Futai, it is simply a fool's dream.

And what Zhu Mao has to do now is to calm things down, once the matter is big, whether it is right or wrong, whether the court is pressed or not, he will be unlucky, this black cauldron, he has to carry it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Mao didn't dare to hesitate. Although he was not angry, but now, he was really not in the mood to care about this, he personally took the third class of messengers to the side of the gate, and when he saw the people outside, he was a little frightened for a while, but he had to order someone to open the yamen, and was waiting to open his mouth to appease.

Who knew that there was a humane in the crowd: "The dog official has come out, and this dog official has come out, that is, he wants to levy official food, forcing us to have no way to live." ”
