Chapter 421: Who is the traitor?
Zhu Yunxi is like a huge spider entrenched in Jinan Mansion, through the Jinyi Wei and Xingwuwei to form a spider silk, controlling all the prefectures and counties in the entire Shandong Province.
Whenever he issued an order, it could be rushed through eight hundred miles and conveyed to every place as quickly as possible.
For special places such as the Qi Palace, the Lu Palace, and the Yansheng Mansion, there are special personnel to ensure that they are conveyed word for word.
In the Qi Wangfu and the Lu Wangfu, after the land property was put under the name of the tenant, Zhu Yunxi immediately issued a new edict - buy land!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Shandong territory was in an uproar.
Everyone thought that Zhu Yunxi was to restrict land annexation, so he introduced a series of measures. But who would have thought that the dragon slayer would eventually become an evil dragon, and the final goal would be to buy land!
However, this has made many large landowners feel much more relaxed.
It is best for the imperial grandson to be selfish, if he is like the old emperor, iron-faced and selfless, then the day is called a sad one.
After Gao Ming learned of Zhu Yunxi's new order, he also didn't understand it very much, and even had a big quarrel with Zhu Yunxi, thinking that he had seen the wrong person.
Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to explain to Old Man Gao, and still went his own way and asked Jinyiwei to rush to various places to collect land.
For ordinary peasants, they pay taxes to whomever they want, so they don't have so much family and country feelings.
Relatively speaking, being able to be a tenant for the emperor's grandson is definitely the best solution.
What's more, the emperor's grandson really gave money to buy land!
Although the land price is a bit low, it is better than being robbed by the royal government and the gentry for nothing, right?
Moreover, the people of Jinyiwei are very righteous, if you sold the land at a low price before, as long as there is a contract and certificate, they will come to you to ask for it, not to mention the low price to help you redeem it, and allow you to continue to sell it to the imperial grandson.
In this way, all the peasants sold their land to the emperor's grandson and became an honorable tenant.
However, the main reason why they are so eager is that the conditions offered by the imperial grandson are really good.
Rent land from the hands of the emperor's grandson, don't pay any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and only collect 20% of the land rent every year!
Although this land rent was much higher than that of the dynasty, he had a lot less exorbitant taxes and poll taxes.
The emperor's grandson said that no matter how many dings there are in the family, taxes will only be collected according to the amount of land rented, and no other money will be charged!
With such preferential policies, the common people no longer worry about being homesteaders, and all of them went to work as tenants for the emperor's grandson.
Moreover, the most reassuring thing for them is that the emperor's grandson said in black and white that as long as the farmer wants to redeem the land, no matter how many years have passed, he can redeem the land from him at the original price and continue to be his own self-cultivated farmer!
No interest!
This is great good news, as soon as this news came out of the whole Shandong to boil, all the people who have land under their names have taken the vouchers to go to the office of the imperial grandson in a certain place to handle the sale of land.
What's more, they took the land of the kings of Qi and Lu and ran over to "give".
If someone else came to collect the land, they would certainly not dare to encroach on the property of the "royal family" and take it for themselves.
However, the imperial grandson is different.
No matter how much the vassal king is, he is also a king, but the emperor's grandson will be the emperor's lord in the future, and he is in charge of these skinless and faceless princes.
Wang Dali's family also happily sold their family's three acres of paddy fields to the emperor's grandson, and then rented thirty acres of land from the emperor's grandson backhandedly, planning to do a big job next year!
However, that's not all, seeds, farm tools and other things can also be purchased from the emperor's grandson with a low-interest loan!
Wang Dali purchased a full set of Minggang brand farm tools in one go, when he carried the new farm tools home, carefully tore off the oil paper on the top, and saw the black and shiny farm tool body, as well as the sharp steel mouth, there is a shovel in hand, the world I have a surging feeling.
Some people are happy and some are worried, Princess Wu of Qi and Princess Ge of Lu have already fainted at the head of the bed crying.
"Liar!"
"Big liar!"
"How can you bully orphans like this
Widowed mother, I want to go to Beijing to sue the royal court, ......
Princess Qi also hurriedly ordered her younger brother to write a letter to King Qi, asking King Qi to face His Majesty in the capital and cry about the injustice she had suffered.
Relatively speaking, the Yansheng Mansion is quite peaceful, their family did not believe in Zhu Yunxi's evil from the beginning, plus their family adopts the donation system, and the land deed is originally in the hands of the peasants, but it is just a household in the official mansion, and it falls under the name of their Yansheng Mansion, so they can escape some forced labor and the like.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's toss had a relatively small impact on their family.
But as Zhu Yunxi's follow-up actions became more and more, the peasants who had previously taken refuge in the Yansheng Mansion turned their heads and hugged the thighs of the imperial grandson, which made the financial resources of the Yansheng Mansion shrink sharply.
However, there is no way to shrink, they can only watch.
After all, the Qi Wangfu and the Lu Wangfu didn't do anything, so what could they do with a Yan Shenggong?
However, the Yansheng Mansion still informed the Yansheng Gong Kong Ne in the capital of the unannounced incident at home.
Kong Ne saw the tears of his family brothers, and he cried with a sad snot and tears.
After learning that his grandson Kong Yanli still ran to the palace every day and went to Wenhua Hall to work for Zhu Yunxi's grandson, the old man was so angry that he directly ordered someone to tie him up, locked him at home and didn't let him go.
He can see it, but the emperor's grandson is not well-intentioned!
According to the tossing method of the emperor's grandson, the Ming Dynasty had to die like the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty!
Kong Nedu, the head of the civil officials, has such an attitude, and the Shandong officials in the capital are even more furious.
One by one, they searched the intestines and scraped the books on the ground, impeached the emperor's grandson for encroaching on people's land, forced the people to sell land, and bought agricultural tools and seeds from the workshops under the emperor's grandson's name, causing very great disasters to the people of Shandong.
The princes also united and rushed into the palace together to find Lao Zhu to cry.
"Father, the sons and daughters can't live!"
"Your eldest grandson cheated us out of all the belongings we worked so hard to buy, so how can we live in the future, woo woo woo......
Compared with the crying of ordinary vassal kings, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was the most unique, and he directly carried the golden book of genealogy into the palace.
Zhu Fan threw the golden book to the ground and pointed at the golden book.
"Father, I don't want this thing anymore, I'll give it back to you now!"
"There is a high probability that you will not be able to use the characters you have worked so hard to arrange for King Qin, and when your son returns to Xi'an, he will call all the little cubs in the family over and bleed one by one!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he was furious, kicked down the steps, and kicked out according to Zhu Zhang.
"Bastard!"
"Zhu Yunxi is rectifying the land of Shandong, what does it have to do with you Xi'an?"
"You're going to kill your wife and your children?"
"Now you carry the knife and kill it first, let's talk about it!"
Seeing that his father was angry, Zhu Fan fell to his knees with a thud, hugged his father's thigh and cried.
"Father, it's not that your son is deliberately angry with you, it's really your grandson who is too disagreeable!"
"You have left the Ming Dynasty to him, why is he still grabbing that one acre and three points of land with us!"
"The land of Shandong has become his, you let the sons of Lao Qi and Lao Shi eat and drink in the future, woo woo woo......
King Qi, who was kneeling on the ground and was sad, heard the second brother mention himself, and hurriedly climbed in front of Lao Zhu and kowtowed.
"The father wants to be the master of his son, his son has been in Shandong for so many years, and he finally bought some belongings, but he was all deceived by Zhu Yunxi!"
"He first said that he would tax everyone, and as soon as my family put the land in the name of the tenant, he forcibly bought it from the hands of those people!"
"Those Diao people sell all my family's land, which is the land that my son kept to feed your grandson and great-grandson, woo woo woo woo ......
As soon as Zhu Fan and Zhu Yu cried, all the vassal kings in the entire hall cried, and even the old thirteen Zhu Gui pretended to wipe a handful of tears.
In fact, Zhu Gui didn't look down on that bit of land rent, and he hadn't settled in the domain yet, so he didn't have any land in his name.
But he relied on the dividends of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and Jinling Coal Industry.
Every year, he has an income of 200,000 taels of silver, which is enough for him to support his family.
What's more, he also has a stake in Sanwei Library, and it is said that there is a lot of income every year, which is higher than the first two.
Therefore, he can now be regarded as a small rich man among the kings of the Ming Dynasty, and he still belongs to the kind of person who is inconspicuous.
But since he became a vassal king, he had to be consistent with the vassal king.
Although he can't use some benefits, he can't help but fight for them!
Lao Zhu listened to the crying of the room, and he became irritable for a while, and even had a lot of resentment towards his eldest grandson.
This grandson can't postpone for a few more years, so he has to be in such a hurry?
In fact, after Lao Zhu Zida knew about the decrees of the anti-Sun in Shandong, he knew what kind of heart this anti-Sun An had in mind.
Isn't it just a method of spreading into acres and a whip?
It's just that the court has been replaced by the emperor's grandson, and the others are all changed soups without medicines.
From the bottom of his heart, Lao Zhu is very supportive of his eldest grandson.
Because once these vassal kings are allowed to fool around, coupled with the local squires and officials messing around, the source of finance and taxation of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably dry up.
Only more and more yeoman farmers can ensure the tax source of the Ming Dynasty and the orderly operation of the Ming court.
However, these vassal kings in front of them are also their own species, so I can't help but think of a way out for them.
"You go back first, we will definitely teach the rebel grandson a hard lesson, and we must give you an explanation!"
When everyone heard that you look at me, I look at you, no one believes that the old man can give them an explanation.
With the old man's favor for the rebel grandson, it is estimated that they will suffer in the end.
Lao Zhu saw that everyone was not moving, and he said angrily.
"What?"
"Do you still want to stay in the palace to eat?"
"Get out of here!"
"There is no food left in the palace today!"
When the vassal kings heard this, they hurriedly picked up their tails and ran away, even the King of Qin, who was not stingy, did not dare to stay any longer, picked up the golden book on the ground and ran away with everyone.
After Lao Zhu sent away this group of vassal kings, he ushered in the civil official group headed by Kong Ne.
Lao Zhu didn't want to see it, but Yan Shenggong Kong Ne is the head of civil officials, so he has to give some face.
Therefore, he refused to be seen by other officials, and only had Conne entered.
When the others heard that the emperor refused to see them, although they were not angry, they did not dare to show it on their faces, and only cheered up Kong Ne.
"Yan Shenggong, if our Daming cultural context can continue, please leave it to you!"
Hearing this, Kong Ne arched his hand towards everyone.
"Rest assured!"
"The old man is desperate for this life, and he wants His Majesty the Emperor to take back the chaotic life of the imperial grandson, and return the people of Shandong to a bright future!"
"Yan Shenggong said it well!"
"In the end, it is Yan Shenggong, the head of the Ming Dynasty, we admire!"
After accepting everyone's ecstasy soup, Kong Ne climbed the steps with firm steps and went to Zhu Yuanzhang, the strongest dragon in the Ming Dynasty, to wrestle his head.
Lao Zhu also made some preparations before meeting Kong Ne, and ordered someone to set up a tea table on the main hall in advance, plus two chairs.
When Kong Ne entered the main hall, Lao Zhu was sitting on the tea table making tea, and when he saw Kong Ne coming in to salute, Lao Zhu did not say anything, and still poured tea by himself, as if he had not seen Kong Ne.
It wasn't until Kong Ne finished a full set of etiquette that Lao Zhu waved to Kong Ne enthusiastically.
"Yan Shenggong is here, hurry up and come over and have a drink with us!"
After the kneeling and bowing ceremony just now, the anger on his body has become a few points smaller.
In fact, this is also one of the purposes of Lao Zhu's arrangement, which is to let Lao Kongtou go to the fire and know his identity.
Kong Ne bowed to Lao Zhu.
"Since Your Majesty has been invited, then Weichen is better to obey his orders than to be respectful!"
"Come, come, come!"
"Sit down!"
Kong Ne sat on the chair next to half of his buttocks with the support of the little eunuch, and then he held the teacup in one hand and tasted it carefully in the other.
Tea is average, water is even more so.
At least it's far worse than the spring water he brought from Baotu Spring.
But because it was soaked by the emperor himself, it has a different flavor and a unique honor in it.
The reason why the emperor made tea for himself is probably because he also thinks that the emperor's grandson's move is a bit excessive, and he has the intention of admitting his mistake to himself, right?
Thinking of this, Conne felt much more relaxed when he drank tea.
As long as the emperor does not approve of the behavior of the emperor's grandson, then the Ming Dynasty can still be saved!
"Good tea!"
"Good water!"
"Good kung fu!"
"Your Majesty is really immortal!"
Lao Zhu laughed when he heard this.
"The Episcopal Church speaks!"
"Hahaha!"
"By the way, Yan Shenggong must have come here for the sake of our eldest grandson in Shandong, right?"
Hearing this, Conne asked cautiously.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you think the abuse of the people carried out by the imperial grandson in Shandong can be called benevolent government?"
Lao Zhu Wenyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and did not answer Kong Ne directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Confucius, what do you think is harmful to the people?"
When Conne heard this, his heart chuckled.
He found that his previous judgment was wrong, and the old emperor was not angry with the emperor's grandson, but was still defending the grandson.
What can I do?
The reason why he rushed to argue with the emperor was that he was sure that the emperor would not support the perverse actions of the emperor's grandson.
Now the emperor's attitude makes him don't know where to start.
"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson oppresses the royal family, which is not good."
"The imperial grandson, the gentry, and the royal family pay for food in one piece, which is not good!"
"The emperor's grandson forcibly buys the land of the people, which is the three evils!"
"The emperor's grandson forcibly sells people's farm tools and seeds, which are the four evils!"
"The imperial grandson forcibly occupied most of the land in Shandong and swallowed the source of the imperial court's taxes, which are the five evils!"
Kong Ne said Zhu Yunxi's five bad things in one breath, and finally Feng Loop turned to Zhu Yunxi to say "fair words".
"Your Majesty, although the imperial grandson has these five bad things, according to the opinion of Weichen, the imperial grandson cannot be blamed."
"The imperial grandson is young, how can he understand the doorway here, he must be bewitched by the daughter of the cadre next to him!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately, this old man is not old and confused, if he really dares to speak ill of our eldest grandson, we don't mind letting his son attack the title of Yansheng Duke in advance!
"Then according to what Confucius said, who is the female cadre next to our eldest grandson?"
