Chapter Eighty-Seven: Open the door, the West Factory collects taxes! Resist taxes and kill!
Poof!
But by this time it was too late.
Zhao Yan's general had already stabbed into Xu Wenjue's chest.
Xu Wenjue spat blood from his mouth because of this, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who had already heard that his son was coming to stop the court officials, happened to arrive at this time, and he also heard Zhao Yan say that his family rebelled and murdered the officials.
Xu Hongji was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot: "The rebel doesn't understand the king's law, so he collided with the ministry, and asked the ministry to forgive him!" But the Han Mansion will never dare to rebel, please be clear! ”
As soon as Xu Hongji finished speaking, he also saw the scene of his son Xu Wenjue being killed, and he was stunned for a while.
"If you don't plan to rebel, cooperate with Qingzhang!"
Zhao Yan came over at this time and said.
Xu Hongji came back to his senses at this time, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we cooperate with Qingzhang!" ”
Zhang Gui walked over at this time and said: "Wei Guogong, Lingzi is indeed domineering, just now he brazenly wanted to lead a slave to slaughter officials, and even knew that Zhao Butang was here, so he acted like this!" However, this governor believes that this is just a stubborn order, and it has nothing to do with you, but if there is a next time, you Wei Guogong will not be able to run away from the crime of not being strict with his godson. ”
"What Uncle Guo said is that the contemptible people understand, and thank you Uncle Guo for your understanding! The dog is innocent of death, and the contemptible person will teach his children and grandchildren strictly after he returns. ”
Xu Hong agreed in a trembling voice.
Because even the Duke of Wei was strictly cleared, and Zhao Yan even killed a pavilion elder like Sun Ruyou before, and hung his body in Nanjing City, so the next work of clearing the zhang was quite smooth.
As a result, the hidden fields of many wealthy families have also been cleared.
Even the land forcibly occupied by these wealthy families has been investigated.
At the same time, the fields that these wealthy families had sent and sprinkled on many small landlords and commoners were also taken away in the process of clearing the acres.
The wealthy families naturally suffered a lot of losses.
Although all this was the result of Zhao Yan, the governor, strictly implementing the policy of clearing the acres of land, Zhang Gui was also very pleased with this.
In this way, it not only laid the foundation for Zhang Gui's West Factory to recover the levies, but also alleviated social contradictions.
Of course, Zhang Gui is even more pleased that this matter of clearing the fields and acres does not need to be completed by his relatives, but also allows him to have more energy to consolidate this new policy.
What are you most afraid of in changing the law?
The most feared thing is the death of people!
Zhang Gui did not want that in the next few years, there would be a change of power in the Ming court, and the forces that opposed the change of law would come to power, and then let these wealthy families take back the land they had forcibly occupied.
Therefore, Zhang Gui asked Xichang to organize a mission team before the tax was levied, and mobilized the local people, especially some poor scholars, to work hard to consolidate their lost and regained land.
On this day, Zhang Gui also personally met with Lu Cheng, a scholar from a poor family who had only recently obtained back the fifty acres of fertile land that had been forcibly occupied by the former Shoufu Xu family, and asked: "How did his Xu family take away your family's fifty acres of fertile land?" ”
Lu Cheng said: "These 50 acres of fertile land were originally reclaimed by the eldest father and the clansmen by the river, so it was a new field, and it was supposed to be registered, but these 50 acres of fertile land were targeted by the Xu family because they were next to the Xu family's field. When my father was arrested, the student was young, and the widowed mother did not dare to sue again, so she was wronged until now. Fortunately, thanks to His Majesty's Shengming and Qingzhang Tianmu, the Xu family was forced to return the land to the students' families. ”
"Do you want to keep this property all the time?"
Zhang Gui asked after hearing this.
Lu Cheng replied: "The student naturally wants to! ”
Zhang Gui nodded: "Then join my West Factory and receive training from my West Factory!" Then defend the achievements of the New Deal, prevent someone from abolishing the New Deal in the future, and prevent the Xu family from taking back your family's land! ”
After hearing this, Lu Cheng asked: "Can I keep the achievements of the New Deal and the land of the students' families by receiving the training of the West Factory?" ”
Zhang Gui nodded and said: "In order to solve the problem of poor scholars having no way to serve the country, our West Factory has set up a special training class in Nanjing, you can sign up for a special training class to receive relevant training, and then choose to apply for the martial arts academy or participate in the imperial examination according to your personal wishes, or stay in my West Factory to serve, no matter which choice, you can let a poor scholar like you have the opportunity to protect the country and defend your family." ”
Lu Cheng immediately said: "Thank you Uncle Guo for giving the students a way out, the students are willing to go to the special training class." ”
"Write him a letter of introduction!"
Zhang Gui therefore gave an order to Xia Yunyi of the Experience Division.
"Yes!"
Xia Yunyi agreed.
Not long after persuading a poor scholar to receive training in his West Factory, Zhang Gui came to the Governor's Yamen and asked Zhao Yan: "Zhao Butang, how is your Qingzhang Tianmu going?" ”
"On the side of Nanzhili, the richest and most numerous prefectures of Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang and Taicang Prefecture have been cleared, and here in Zhejiang, the richest Hangzhou Prefecture has been cleared."
As Zhao Yan spoke, he asked people to bring over the yellow book and fish scale book that had been re-made and showed it to Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui took advantage of Zhao Yan's hand over the candle light and flipped it a few times: "Then the West Factory will first recover the levies in these mansions." ”
Saying that, Zhang Gui announced the experience of the Xichang Tax Police Corps and the Xichang Tax Police Experience Division overnight, and said: "The Experience Division will immediately get the tax payment files of the prefectures and counties from the household department and the results of the current clearance, so you don't have to lose the sesame seeds to pick up watermelons, and the tax arrears of small households will not be taken care of, first calculate how much a few large households with the largest area are paid, and calculate one, and a thousand generals will lead the troops to carry out armed taxation!" In case of disobedience, it can be directly punished for the crime of treason, and the royal flag must be brought, and artillery and new explosives, as well as rockets and thunderbolts, must be brought, and do not be too troublesome. In short, it is necessary to collect taxes in a combative manner. Do you understand?! ”
"Understood!"
Sun Chuanting, Huang Degong and other thousands of presidents immediately agreed.
Zhang Gui nodded accordingly: "Start acting!" ”
"Yes!"
Next, the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, which temporarily served as the yamen of the West Factory, kept the sound of abacus all night, and even some poor scholars who had just taken over the training of the West Factory and had mastered the preliminary accounting method were put to use.
And the thousands of presidents of the West Factory also began to get the list of tax arrears of the major magnates and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and immediately rushed to the homes of these powerful officials and gentry with the banner of the king's order and the soldiers and horses under his command.
Xufu.
After Qingzhang found that among these Jiangnan nobles and gentry, the Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Jiajing Longqing Dynasty, has been annexing land on a large scale since the Jiajing Dynasty, so today, it is still the largest landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, and the tax arrears are also the most.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting came here first with his Xichang Official School.
After all, there is a saying called the seven-grade official in front of the prime minister's door, as the former gatekeeper of the first auxiliary door, he has also seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, so he has long been accustomed to the fox and fake tiger power, and he is still as usual, and asked angrily: "Which yamen are you from?!" Don't know the rules?! ”
Syllable!
The official school of Yixi Factory first gave this concierge a slap, and then shouted: "Open the door immediately!" West Factory collects taxes! ”
The porter who was beaten was furious: "I'll fuck your uncle!" Dare to beat Lao Tzu. ”
Poof!
The porter pulled out his knife as he spoke, but as soon as he pulled out the knife, a Xichang official school on the opposite side raised his hand and put a hammer on his neck.
A large hole appeared in the concierge's neck on the spot, blood spilled out, and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, the Xichang Official Academy, who was talking to this doorman just now, continued: "Command: Anyone who intends to block the emperor's mission will be killed!" Wait for the door to open the door quickly, and then dare to disobey, it will all end like this! ”
