Chapter 294 In-Depth

This is Jinyiwei's prison, Kong Shangqian originally planned to go out as soon as possible after flipping through these documents, but he didn't expect to leave as soon as he opened them.

Time flies.

Among them, Shen Yongmao came in, and he came to call the land inventory of the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong. After asking, I realized that the person who was reading these inventories now was actually Kong Shangqian. Shen Yongmao also politely asked him about some rules and names of the Kong family.

"Are all these land scales books accurate?"

Kong Shangqian actually couldn't understand the fish scale booklet, so he politely asked Shen Yongmao for advice.

"There should be some discrepancies from the actual situation." Shen Yongmao often works in the center, and at the same time, he has his own family history, so he is still relatively clear about these. While recording some specific numbers with a pen, he explained to Kong Shangqian.

"The yellow silk mark on the fish scale booklet should be the school field and mouth field given by the imperial court for the Confucian family in Qufu. This land should be undoubted, and it should also be the land that the Confucian family should enjoy. But all the doubts about this are that the Confucian family pays too little for the hired population on these lands. The people of the Kong family do not farm, according to the current cultivation of the Ming Dynasty, a normal family of seven people, the land cultivated in a year is only about forty acres. However, the population reported by Qufu in the past 30 years has not increased but declined, which is wrong. ”

"Did you take in some homeless people too?" Kong Shangqian also played the role of an academic gentleman in Nanzong, and he did not know much about the actual family business. Shen Yongmao felt that it would be good if the Qufu Kong family was the same.

He deliberately said lightly:

"Privately accumulating displaced people, that's not a small number of people."

"These are based on the statistics of land sales and sales on file in the government." Shen Yongmao pointed out some of the lists marked with white tickets to Kong Shangqian.

"A total of thirteen thousand seven hundred and sixty-five acres. More than 3,000 resale contracts were involved. According to these contracts, there were nearly 5,800 usurious loans. Shen Yongmao pointed out to him the numbers marked on another inventory.

"Look at this, sir, it's a contract." He handed one of the contracts to Kong Shangqian.

Kong Shangqian turned out the contract, opened it and saw that there was an usury IOU on the back.

"Why are there so many fingerprints?" He was a little confused.

On the back of the deed was a loan shark note with seven or eight fingerprints on it. Shen Yongmao patiently took it, looked at it, and then pointed it out to him and said:

"In the third year of the Apocalypse, I borrowed a total of thirteen taels of silver and paid seven taels. After a year, he didn't pay it back, so he borrowed another thirty-four taels, repaid the old account thirteen taels, and then took back seven taels after deducting the rake. After that, he still didn't pay it back for a year, so he was offset by his family's 11 acres of paddy fields. ”

Kong Shangqian felt very cold all over.

"The government wants to ...... this kind of usury," he said a little.

"The government doesn't have much to do. This kind of private lending must be the most powerful when encountering natural and man-made disasters. If you don't borrow, you'll die right now, and if you borrow some money, you can't say that you can postpone it for a while. Shin said it clearly.

Kong Shangqian glanced at Kong Xiangxi, who was sitting quietly on the chair.

"You have to take a good look at him, this contract is signed by him." Shen Yongmao said angrily.

"What is left here is the dedication of the fields attached to the Kong family, which is the most unclear to the Kong family in Qufu. The imperial court probably knew more than 30,000 acres. How many of the rest are there? No one can tell" Shen Yongmao stretched out his hand, a look of helplessness.

"Dedication?" Kong Shangqian was a little puzzled.

"The imperial court took care of the scholars, and if they won the show, they had seventeen acres of non-taxed fields. In order to allow readers to read with peace of mind. Then someone dedicated this to the Kong family. ”

"How so?" Kong Shangqian couldn't think of the Tao clearly.

"Tax, you have a quota, I have a field, that's it."

"This is blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the reader! "This is what Kong Shangqian can't stand the most. He suddenly remembered that his uncle seemed to have said something to him, and there seemed to be a lot of talent in his family school. When I just didn't figure it out myself, I said that I was going to talk about it slowly, but now I seem to understand something.

Just thinking about it, a fan walked in.

"Lord Shen, the Qufu lawsuit against the Kong family and the witnesses you want have been brought back, and my family asked me to ask you, when do you want to meet first."

"Okay, I'll go over when I'm done here."

"My lord, it may not work here, now there are three cases that have been reported to the Criminal Department by themselves, and there are about twenty-one cases designated by the imperial court to come back, and there are probably more than 300 witnesses alone. Chinoto has settled outside the city, and when the adults want to come over, you can come to me at any time. I also have a list of the twenty-four eucalyptus here, if you are not in a hurry, you can also tell me what you want to see, and I will bring someone to you. ”

"Is this all about the eucalyptus of the Kong family?" Before Shen Yongmao stretched out his hand, Kong Shangqian first reached out and took the list of eucalyptus.

Fanzi didn't know him, but saw Shen Yongmao nodded, and then said:

"If you go back to your lordship, this does not involve the eucalyptus of the Kong family, but only the eucalyptus of the head of the Kong family. We don't have the ability to adjust the rest, it's too broad. Moreover, if the person in it is no longer alive, according to what Lord Shen said, we will not call it. ”

The latter words were so moldy that Kong Shangqian almost didn't listen to them.

"In the first year of the apocalypse, ...... torture and killing"

"In the first year of the Apocalypse, rape and murder...... Pit Killing ......"

"In the first year of the Apocalypse, rape and murder...... Killing people in the street......"

"In the second year of the apocalypse, the land was forcibly occupied......"

"Raising Children ...... Guilty"

…………

Shen Yongmao ignored him and just drew the list of eucalyptus rolls.

"Mr. Kong, I still have some affairs over there, you can read these eucalyptus scrolls first, and I will come over again if I need to come back."

What else to see, the following is Kong Xiangxi and pirates, county officials, and wealthy businessmen who colluded together for money, and teamed up with the White Lotus Sect to create a wave of refugees in Jiaozhou. He doesn't know other people's words, but like himself, he still knows the words of the next head of the Kong family. The font is still chic and elegant, and the language is still gentle and humble.

But he could see the blood all over the ground.

When he tried to stand up, he was dizzy. It was as if I had heard the words of His Majesty the Emperor again.

"There is no successor to the Kong family...... Confucius's successor ......"

"Oh my God! Am I wrong about what I saw and heard before? ”

Suddenly, an old voice sounded in his ears.

"Come on, come on, don't stand up reluctantly if you sit for a long time, once you stand up reluctantly, the lack of qi and blood will naturally be dizzy and spinning. Yousu, you help this gentleman to sit down. ”

As he spoke, the old man pinched his hand near his temple for a moment.

Soon, the vertigo disappeared, and in front of me was a thin old man and a capable girl.

"Thank you, old man." He also knew that it was the other party who reached out. According to etiquette, he quickly stood up and saluted.

The old man sat down next to his wheelchair and said to him.

"You see, this is the person who doesn't listen to the doctor. The old man sees that you are full of blood and weakness, turn around, use the ginkgo tree as tea to drink, don't sit up strongly. ”

As he spoke, he began to give acupuncture to Kong Xiangxi, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Master. You're a doctor in the hospital. If the master has something, the disciple will obey it. I'll just come to this little thing about giving an injection to this half-dead man, so why do I need you to do it. ”

When Kong Shangqian heard the word Yizong, he knew that the old man opposite him was the famous imperial doctor Wu Youxing.

Speaking of this, he also looked at the old man curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
