Chapter 79: Rage
With the assistance of Hu Changan and the county government staff of Lishui County, the Lijia system was implemented smoothly in Zhangjia Village.
The tenant farmers who were originally subordinate to the Lan family have returned to the rule of the government.
When the others saw this, they were very unimpressed.
"Heh, what's the good of returning to the government? There are many heavy taxes and servitude, and it is better to be a tenant farmer of a large family. ”
"The first system there is probably just a casual talk. How could those landlords and squires lay down their power and obediently let our peasants be the masters of their own affairs? You have a good look, the chief and the head of the first who are selected must be from a big family! ”
However, soon, these villagers were slapped in the face by Hu Changan.
Under the strong supervision of the government, the elected lieutenant chief and the first head, although there are indeed many people from the squire family, but more of them are ordinary people!
The people who were chosen were simply stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.
What? Can we, who don't know a single character, manage other people and settle disputes in the township?
Yes, they do.
With the detailed operation guidelines compiled by the government, as long as the IQ is not too low, anyone can be well qualified for the position of lieutenant chief and head of the first class.
This made the elected villagers very happy.
Finally, one day, they will be able to be in charge of their own affairs!
However, the villagers who were not selected were not annoyed.
Didn't you say that the head of the first and the chief of the lieutenant rotate once a year.
Just because we didn't get selected this time doesn't mean we won't have a chance next time!
As long as you work hard and grow food seriously, you will definitely be selected when the time comes!
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's latest tax policy has also come down.
In recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang's main policy was to lightly conscription and let people recuperate.
Therefore, when the freedmen pay no heavy taxes, and even the freedmen have to pay less grain than the tenant farmers!
Seeing this, the tenant farmers of those big families felt as sour as if they had eaten lemons.
Damn, I didn't expect the government to come for real.
It seems that now, they have properly lost a lot!
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and they have to look forward to the stars and the moon every day, hoping that these big families can one day find out with the same conscience as the Lan family and put them back as free people.
Zhangjia Village is just a very small village in Lishui County.
Hu Changan has done a lot of things here, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket.
Hu Changan believes that there must be a similar situation in other villages as in Zhangjia Village.
But it's a pity that he can't manage such a big thing now.
At the moment, the only way to do this is to start from the top and move those big families to spit out the meat that has been eaten in their mouths.
Of course, this kind of thing is certainly not too simple.
However, as a person who knows the historical process, Hu Changan knows that this must be done.
Otherwise, a hundred years later, the Lijia system will eventually exist in name only, and the Ming Dynasty will also be in turmoil.
Seeing that the implementation of the Jiajia system in Lishui County was almost over, Hu Changan also rode a horse and returned to Yingtian City in a leisurely manner.
However, not long after Hu Changan returned home, an edict called him to the palace.
......
On the Jinluan Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry.
"Hu Changan, this kid, actually secretly carried private goods to promote his own soap in the name of fighting the epidemic?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hu Changan is a businessman after all, businessmen, they are all mercenary villains, and it is not unusual to do this kind of thing. Li Shanchang on the side actively fanned the flames and smeared Hu Changan.
When Li Shanchang got the news from the crown prince Zhu Biao, he became vigilant.
In essence, Li Shanchang still loves himself more than his country.
It is impossible for him to sacrifice the interests of his family for the benefit of Daming.
If according to the prince's wishes, he spit out all the land he has seized over the years, then the Li family will have a lot less income in the future!
This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Shanchang.
So although Zhu Biao did not specifically disclose who the person who suggested to him was, Li Shanchang still found Hu Changan.
Listening to the news sent back by the spies, Li Shanchang was so angry and anxious that he couldn't wait to directly pick Hu Changan's skin.
This stinky boy, he's here to restrain him, right?!
He Li Shanchang is not a vegetarian, so he must start first!
So in the Jinluan Palace, there was Li Shanchang's complaint and Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
In order to successfully achieve the plan, Li Shanchang also joined several big families who also encroached on the fields and jointly signed a letter.
Regardless of whether there is one or not, let's get Hu Changan down first!
Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, who was next to Li Shanchang, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I also heard that in Hu Chang'an's mansion, there is a monthly income of 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"Among them, I'm afraid there is a lot of moisture!"
"I suspect that this money was not obtained by Hu Changan through serious channels at all, I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was even more angry.
This Hu Chang'an is really too much.
Originally, when he proposed the Lijia system, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was a useful talent, but he didn't expect that behind this Hu Changan, he was such a corrupt and perverted law!
Sure enough, the merchant can't be trusted!
"Xuanhu Chang'an enters the hall!"
"Yes."
......
So, under the leadership of Jinyiwei, Hu Changan came to the Jinluan Palace in a daze.
Seeing Hu Changan coming, everyone's different eyes turned to him.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's angry eyes and Li Shanchang's ill-intentioned appearance, Hu Changan secretly said bad in his heart.
I don't think there will be any good news today.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted at Hu Changan: "Hu Changan! Tell me a good story, have you wantonly amassed wealth in Beijing, and your monthly income is 10,000 taels of silver? ”
When Hu Changan heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Why does Zhu Yuanzhang have such accurate financial data in his hands?
Damn, there are moles!
But now is not the time to go to find a traitor, Hu Changan calmed down, and said without humility or arrogance under the overwhelming pressure: "Your Majesty, although the ministers have a lot of monthly income in the house, they earn innocent money. ”
"This money is from selling soap, and I saved it one by one, and it comes from a regular way, not dirty money."
"What? also said that the way is regular, Hu Changan, your face is really big! Listening to Hu Changan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "The monthly income is 20,000 taels of silver, and I should be the financial income of Tianfu for a month, and I am afraid that it is not as much as your family's income, do you dare to quibble?" ”
"I am also from a poor background, not an emperor who grew up in the hands of a woman in the deep palace, I know the price level in Beijing very well, you don't want to lie to me."
"Just doing business, how can you earn more than 10,000 taels of silver a month?!"
