Geng Qi was so stunned by the question that he couldn't speak.

He also knows the name of Jinyiwei, and asks you directly who is above, as if he is interrogating.

There was no way, he had to accept it.

At the eighth day of the first month, there was a heavy snowfall in the north, and Jizhou and Shuntian reported snow.

The sky was covered with snow, and the sky and the earth were foggy, and when they went out of the city to the countryside, the fields were full of withered poplars, cold and empty.

After the snow stopped, I saw a pair of black dots in the white expanse.

Although Geng Qi raised some doubts about the killing of Jinyiwei last time, he went to the countryside the next day and found that everyone he met suddenly became much more polite.

didn't drag on like before, but brought several housekeeper-like people, and took the initiative to lead Geng Qi's people to the ground, and he was full of enthusiasm when he spoke.

"There was a pre-existing situation of private servitude in this land, right?" Ma Bin still has some of the situation.

"Uh...... Yes, there are. But don't worry, it's the old yellow calendar. Now that the court says that it is not allowed, then the general will ban this article. ”

This guy's obedient Geng Qi is a little unaccustomed, but he is too lazy to care about this, and walks to the ridge to look into the distance, "The old man in the past said that it is not easy to reclaim these wastelands. ”

The last general was confused for a moment and became greedy. But after all, these good lands have not been trampled, and now the imperial court wants to take them back, don't worry, they can be cultivated in the spring of next year. It just so happened that snow fell from the sky, which is a good omen. ”

Geng Qi said: "Time is tight, we have to divide these fields to the military accounts as soon as possible, and we have to re-do the previous yellow books." Zhao Qianhu, you are also 30 acres per household here? ”

"Yes, it's a good piece of land. Each mu can produce two to three stones of grain and rice, and 30 acres of land can get seventy or eighty stones of grain and rice a year, as long as it is a good year, it is enough. ”

Ma Bin snorted, "You also said it, it has to be a good year." What if it's not a good year? And those who don't have 30 acres of land, how can they live? ”

And that's just before taxes.

"What the messenger said is that the end will be confused, and the end will be confused."

Geng Qi was no longer verbose, "Just these two days, let's redivide the acres immediately." According to the 30 acres of each household, it must be registered and given a land deed. The deputy envoy is still from Ningxia, and there is another way after Ningxia divides the fields, that is, the land is not allowed to be bought and sold. ”

"No buying and selling? What if someone sells it privately? Whose is this? ”

"The court does not recognize the private sale. In other words, as long as the person who sells the land sues the official, the government must award the land to the original owner. Because it was a purchase that violated the laws of the imperial court, the silver spent on buying the land naturally did not come back. So if Zhao Qianhu wants to buy it, he can buy it. ”

Ma Bin also added, "You can also buy the people of the government and award Tian to the original owner." ”

Zhao Qianhu is cowardice, but he can still hear it, the killing god of Jinyiwei told you about the method of bribing officials, so can you believe it?

So his head shook like a rattle, "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare, the last general must do things according to the will of the imperial court." What Commander Geng said, we will be able to divide it in 20 days at most, and this is all ripe land. ”

In this way, Geng Qi rode to the next place.

In fact, it's very slow to do this, Jizhou is so big, when will this run down?

However, with the expansion of the scope, there will definitely be other commissioners sent by the General Military Mansion, who makes the current requirements high, Jinyiwei looks at it every day.

Now there is also a rumor that there is a second round of inspections.

Everyone has pressure, and Ma Bin has it too.

If the second round of inspections doesn't show any big problems, he can still make a difference, but if he finds a lot of problems, then the emperor will have to doubt his role at that time.

"Commander Geng, it's easier today than the previous times, right?"

I've seen three places in the morning.

"Relying on Deputy Envoy Ma's help, it's really not that difficult."

Ma Bin patted his knife, "Sometimes, you still have to rely on it." ”

"One more thing."

"What's wrong?"

"Although I understand what the court means, the money for buying the land will not be refunded, which is unreasonable."

Ma Bin raised his eyelids slightly, "But it works." ”

~~

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Houzhao received a note on the progress of the clean-up of Tuntian in Jizhou.

sighed in my heart, it seems that I really have to kill a few people to work.

"Is there anyone in the chamber? Call one. ”

"Yes."

The attendant room has now become three people, of course Jin Gui is one, he is like a glue on his buttocks, he hasn't left the attendant room for several years, and then Xie Pi.

However, the two of them are really not enough, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, so Zhu Houzhao has been thinking about adding one.

Until this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace handed over the holy decree and transferred the Hanlin Academy to edit Jing Yang (pronounced 'Yang') into the attendant room.

Jing Yang was the leader of the imperial court in the first year of Zhengde.

After the middle school, he also stayed up in the Hanlin Academy for nearly four years, and Zhu Houzhao occasionally paid attention to the Hanlin Academy, a place where talents were stored, to see if there were any real talents.

But I didn't see the eyebrows, after all, the talent is in the stomach, and it is really not easy to see, and he will not be appointed indiscriminately just based on some articles, but Jing Yang is still in his eyes.

Because this guy is a desperate Saburo.

Zhu Houzhao once instructed the Hanlin Academy to sort out the historical materials of military construction in the Tang and Song dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty. In addition, he would ask the Hanlin Academy to sort out all kinds of materials in other areas for him to read.

It's pretty fast every time.

He boasted a few times, and later learned by chance that every time this kind of task went down, Jing Yang did not hesitate to do so, and continued to read and sort out all night.

Just for this seriousness, Zhu Houzhao has to remember him.

After that, he asked Jinyiwei to listen carefully to this person, and found that Jing Yang was filial to his mother and was strict with himself, so he decided to transfer him to the attendant room after the Spring Festival.

Such a tune is soaring to the sky, and since then he has been a close servant of the Son of Heaven.

"Bo Shi (Jing Yangzi), you copy a copy of this note on Jizhou, and there should be more later, and you keep every copy. This is the first specific report on how many acres of land have been divided, how many acres of land, how many soldiers these data are very important, you have to record carefully, and at the end I will let Jizhou last a total, the data is a pair, right, you have to remind me immediately. ”

Jing Yang was born in the twelfth year of Chenghua, and now he is thirty-five years old, his body is thin, his face is long and dark, and there is a black mole on his chin, which is actually not very good-looking.

"Wechen obeys."

"The number of grains per mu in the Juntun field is one bucket or two liters, and I estimate that there should be more than 50,000 hectares of fields in Jizhou, so that the grains in the tuntian field in a year are ......."

Zhu Houzhao is calculating, 100 acres is an acre, more than 5 million mu, take 550 words......

"Your Majesty, it should be around 60 to 700,000 stones."

"Hey, look, compared to previous years, it should be 10 times higher, right?"

Jing Yang replied, "Last year, Jizhou Town handed over more than 68,000 stones. However, it may be too late to redivide the acres in some places, and it should be 600,000 stones in the sixth year of Zhengde. ”

"So how can this military camp not be cleaned up? When you first enter the chamber, you start by sorting through the data. There are so many that I sometimes can't remember."

"We're in command."

In fact, 600,000 stones is still less, and basically the total number is difficult to reach the scale of 20 million stones in the late Hongwu period and the early Yongle period. After all, later, Yongle, Xuande, and Orthodox emperors all reduced taxes.

The reason why the tax reduction is also very simple, that is, the military households that invade and occupy the military can't survive, so they have to be reduced. It's just that the previous emperors still have room to reduce, and when they go to Zhu Houzhao, they will receive more than one million stones a year, so what else can be reduced?

If you reduce it again, you can simply avoid it all, and you can still get a good reputation.

For the current Zhu Houzhao, his goal is to reach the scale of 8 million to 10 million stones, in addition, after the military tun is cleaned up, the function of the military tun itself to support the army should also be restored, in other words, the natural part of the military salary should not be asked to bear much by the imperial court.

At most, it is to send some more folded silver.

And he also has the idea of disarmament.

Therefore, if this part of the military rations becomes a burden on the imperial court five years after Zhengde, then Zhu Houzhao will have to find trouble with some people.

Not only that, these tuntian grains handed over can make the Ming Dynasty break through the shackles of 30 million stones in one fell swoop, and considering that the military food expenditure is also saved, the official salary, Zonglu, and military expenditure will be one of the three.

Then it is conservatively estimated that half of the annual income, that is, more than 15 million stones, can be allocated and used.

Of course, Zonglu is another matter.

In this way, whether it is a domestic disaster relief or a foreign expedition, at least food can be obtained.

It is only after many years of governing the country that it can be regarded as a great achievement.

There was always a hope in his heart, Zhu Houzhao was only energetic when he was the emperor, holding the music in his hand, he was thinking again, "The Jizhou Rebellion killed a lot of people this time, and there were many exiles, and it would be good if there were 70,000 soldiers and horses left in 100,000, well......"

Zhu Houzhao pointed his fingers on the table regularly, "Don't pass the cabinet yet." The attendant's room privately sent a letter to Yang Shangyi, the chief soldier of Jizhou, asking him to think about it, after the reduction of the soldiers in Jizhou Town, can the personnel be reduced in combination with the actual situation, and the border army always scatters as soon as it rushes, so what's the use of raising it? Bo Shi,"

"Wechen understands, and after the plan is made, the minister will ask His Majesty to take a look."

"Oh, let Jin Gui take a look first."

"Yes."

Because of the first summons, Zhu Houzhao thought about saying a few more words, "Boshi, when you were in the Hanlin Academy, I heard your reputation, saying that you were serious and diligent in doing things. That's good, and I appreciate that from you. However, the attendant room is not as good as the Hanlin Academy, and the affairs of the Hanlin Academy will be completed when they are done, but here, if you don't finish the first thing, the tenth thing may have already come. Therefore, you must not follow your old style again, or in less than two months, I will have to summon a doctor for you. You must indeed have passion in your heart, but you still have to be calm and unhurried on the outside, remember this sentence of mine. ”

Jing Yang met Jun for the first time, and when he heard that he cared about him like this, his heart was infinitely moved, "The minister's rough body does not dare to let His Majesty worry about it." Your Majesty's teachings, the ministers have all written them down! Thank you for your Majesty's care. ”

"Okay, let's do it."

With this person here, Jin Gui and Xie Pi are of course much more relaxed, after all, the New Year's Day will be coming. It is not an easy task for the chamberlain to dig out the promises made to the emperor by those people in the past, and also to record what they said this year.
