At the same time that Lin Fan received the holy decree.

Yamen at all levels in Qingzhou received the announcement of the relevant appointment documents.

Seeing Lin Fan being made an earl, although the Qingzhou Festival Envoy and the Qingzhou Thorn Shi were surprised, they were not too surprised.

After all, they had long guessed the purpose of the imperial court to put a chess piece in Qingzhou.

It's not because of the civil strife in Qingzhou before the previous year, and the former Jiedu envoy was killed, which caused Qingzhou to change from one of the strongest feudal towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty to one of the weakest feudal towns today.

The imperial court wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken or even take Qingzhou and re-establish the majesty of the imperial court.

"It seems that I really underestimated our Emperor Majesty."

Looking at the document sent by the imperial court about Lin Fan's appointment, Qingzhou Jiedu made Huang Zhongyi's eyes more and more cold.

"It's just clever."

Qingzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wenjun said with disdain.

This emperor Lao'er, really thought that by virtue of not being controlled by the local government and enjoying the military and political power exclusively, he could make Qinglongzhai develop steadily, which was a bit too much to take for granted.

"So, Brother Chen already has an idea?"

Huang Zhongyi suddenly came to his senses.

It's best to be able to kill this emperor's pawn without involving yourself.

Chen Wenjun nodded: "This Lin Fan's Qinglong Bo belongs to the real feud, which is equivalent to dividing Chen County into two, and the various intricate relationships involved in the fief can make him anxious." ”

"If there is an influx of a large number of refugees and even missionaries, if we want to reassure these refugees, we must implement reforms, which will touch the interests of the local gentry, and we will secretly dispose of a group of disobedient gentry to blame Qinglongzhai, and Qinglongzhai will be in chaos."

"At that time, let Haixiong lead a wave of men and horses to loot Qinglong Village, and we can never suffer in the future, we only need to increase Haixiong's bounty amount, and the matter can be over."

After Chen Wenjun finished speaking, Huang Zhongyi suddenly laughed after putting down the teacup in his hand.

"Hahaha, brother, this method is very good, it can not only eliminate the power of the imperial court, but also not cause a stalemate with the imperial court, and the most important thing is to let all the gentry understand that only by following me Huang Zhongyi can they enjoy everything now."

……

Zhang Bao, the county commander of Chen County, never thought of it.

The biggest victim of the appearance of a Qinglong Village turned out to be him.

He was a county magistrate of a superior county, and after a night's sleep, he became a magistrate of an inferior county.

And he can't resist it.

Because whether it is the Lord of the Festival or the Lord of the Assassin Shi, he will do what the court will do.

And urged him to complete the handover of the household registration and acres with Qinglongzhai as soon as possible.

At the same time, a rumor also spread in Chen County.

It is said that as long as the people of Qinglongbo's fiefdom can all divide the land and not pay grain.

The gentry of the Hao clan not only had to pay the grain, but also had to take back the land under their name by Qinglongbo.

Therefore, the gentry of the wealthy families within a radius of seventy miles from Qinglong Village began to inquire about the news.

And those people who were included were all happy.

Because they have all heard it, this rumor is not false, the people who defected to Qinglongbo before did not need to pay grain, and they all divided the fields.

I heard that the gentry of the wealthy families who occupied the official fields near Qinglongzhai were all frightened by Qinglongbo and paid the harvest for three years.

Hu Jiatou Tie did not make up for it.

was labeled as a rebel, not only was the whole house beheaded, but the nine tribes were also sent to the frontier to be slaved by the armored people.

……

Qinglong Village.

Wu Yong was very puzzled by Lin Fan's attitude towards the eunuch.

After sending off the eunuch, he came to Lin Fan's side and said worriedly: "Uncle, the eunuch is said to be the confidant of the great eunuch Huang Duzhong next to His Majesty the Emperor, if you don't give him a reward, why do you only let him eat gruel?" ”

"I see him leaving, his face is full of resentment, if he chews his tongue in front of His Majesty, we will be very passive."

Lin Fan didn't care at all.

looked at Wu Yong and said with a smile: "I deliberately, only if he is resentful, he will report my words to the emperor as they are, I just want them to know, if you want the horse to run, you have to give some grass, just give me a title and official position, I am very dissatisfied." ”

"In case we anger Your Majesty and remove your title and official position, we will be very passive."

Wu Yong voiced his concerns.

Lin Fan patted Wu Yong on the shoulder and said, "Military advisor, the pattern is small, the emperor gave me a knighthood and official position, do you really think it's because of a jade seal that has been handed down to the country?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Wu Yong was puzzled.

"Of course not."

Lin Fan didn't sell Guan Zi: "I was just speculating before, but now I can be sure that our Emperor Majesty is a person with great ambitions, and if he wants to make the Great Zhou Zhongxing, and let the Great Zhou Zhongxing, he must break the situation of separating the feudal towns." ”

"Now Qingzhou has just undergone a change of power, so he wants to use this as a breakthrough to take Qingzhou, and our Qinglongzhai is his knife."

listened to Lin Fan's analysis.

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Uncle, do you think our Qinglong Village is a bit high?" We only have a thousand soldiers? Not to mention the land of beating a state, I'm afraid even if it is a place, it can't. ”

"The embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in an anthill, as long as there is a suitable fulcrum, an ant can even pry the earth, not to mention our entire cottage."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, Wu Yong was stunned again.

Uncle said strange things again.

What is Earth?

Forget it, what the uncle says is what it is!

Anyway, if he has ambitions, it's fine.

Thinking of this, he remembered a piece of news from Hongyun Building.

Said to Lin Fan: "Uncle, this morning Yun Niang sent news from Hongyun Building, it is rumored outside that the ordinary people in your fiefdom can still get the fields without paying grain, and the gentry of the Hao clan will be taken back from the fields, and they will have to pay a huge amount of land taxes." ”

"Huh?"

Originally, Lin Fan, who was still enjoying tea and drinking.

Rub yourself up from your chair.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by solemnity: "Yun Niang, did you say where this rumor came from?" ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "I didn't say it, but I have already explained to the person who summoned me and asked them to investigate secretly." ”

Lin Fan nodded, and then said: "The county's household registration and acres of land will be handed over as soon as possible, and after the handover, a rumor-refuting announcement will be issued, and the matter of land tax should also be explained clearly, as long as there is land, all of them will be charged according to the area of the field, thirty taxes and one tax, and there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, whether it is ordinary people or wealthy gentry, they all pay taxes like this." ”

"This ...... This is unacceptable. ”

When Wu Yong heard Lin Fan's policy of treating everyone equally, his face changed in fright.

"Why not? I just let all the people know that in Bemb's fiefdom, everyone is equal. ”

Lin Fan looked at Wu Yong, who couldn't speak, puzzled.

"Uncle, absolutely not, doing this is the way to die."

Wu Yong was really anxious at this time.

Born in troubled times, if you want to be successful, you must unite the wealthy gentry in order to grow quickly.

To make everyone equal is to stand on the opposite side of the wealthy gentry.

These people will not give them a chance to rise.
