Xu Yuangao is really a god, because Li Yunze calls himself me.

This self-proclaimed person in the whole world can only speak, and that is the emperor.

Looking at the armor soldiers that kept pouring in behind Li Yunze, he subconsciously saluted, "Your Majesty? ”

"Minister, Zhou Dao has come to see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live ~~~"

When Xu Yuangao was still a little unclear about the situation, Zhou Daodeng, who had seen King Xin before, was already busy saluting.

"Zhou Daoden?" Li Yunze turned his head to look over, and his eyes paused on the handmaiden with extremely good looks, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"The minister is the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites during the first emperor's years, and now he is at home. Today's admiration is really blessed by the ancestors, and the three lives are fortunate! Zhou Daodeng saluted very respectfully, his words were flattering, and his eyes staring at Li Yunze were even hotter.

Historically, this old man was lucky enough to go from a retiree at home to the pinnacle of the cabinet.

The heart of fame and fortune is no less than Wen Tiren.

Now that he has met the emperor, of course, he has to seize the opportunity to show himself.

Li Yunze thought for a while, and felt as if he had some impressions, he had seen this name when he was looking for information about the Chongzhen Dynasty.

But it doesn't matter, it's not that that that matters now.

stepped forward and sat straight on the main seat of Xu Yuangao in front of him.

"Xu Yuangao."

"The minister is here."

"Huh? Are you famous? ”

Xu Yuangao, who bowed his head, hurriedly responded, "The minister is ashamed, the minister is a person who has been raised in the forty-second year of Wanli." ”

"Then if you go back to me, why can your Xu family have 400,000 acres of land."

Xu Yuangao, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, spoke with a curly tongue, "This, this is the land that the ancestors have bought for diligence and thrift for generations." Moreover, there are not as many as 400,000 acres, and there are only tens of thousands of acres at home, all of which are falsely rumored by people with ulterior motives. ”

It was Li Yunze, who came specifically to find fault, raised his horsewhip and threw it directly on the desk in front of him, "There is no joke in front of you, can you be responsible for what you said?" ”

At this time, Xu Yuangao was already sweating like rain, and he didn't know how to reply at all.

Yang Ai, who was kneeling in the corner, looked at the old man who could decide the life and death of the family in the past, and then looked at the famous Xu Huating, who didn't even dare to raise his head in front of the emperor's majesty at this time.

Quietly raised his head and secretly looked at Li Yunze, his beautiful eyes were full of light.

"I'm asking you, I'll answer yes or no!"

Xu Yuangao, who was forced into a corner, quickly thought in his heart that most of the fields in his family were scattered in the names of reliable people. In front of the emperor, it is certainly impossible to admit that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, because it is impossible to explain how these fields came from.

After making up his mind, he kowtowed vigorously, "Back to Your Majesty, there are only tens of thousands of acres of land in the minister's house, which are accumulated by the ancestors of the past generations. ”

Li Yunze, who sat straight with his body and looked like a Buddha statue, smiled when he heard the words, "This is what you are waiting for." Bring people up. ”

In the sound of squirming footsteps, the brocade guard dragged a middle-aged man in a staff outfit in.

"This person claims to be the second housekeeper of the Xu family in Huating." Li Yunze bowed slightly, "You can recognize it." ”

Xu Yuangao's clothes were already soaked, especially when he heard the emperor say, 'What he is waiting for is your words', his heart was even more like a lightning strike, this is coming to the Xu family!

looked at the second housekeeper who was lost and depressed, and his eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to look at him.

swallowed his saliva and nodded hard, "Yes, this person is my second housekeeper of the Xu family." ”

Li Yunze, who simply crossed his legs, motioned to the housekeeper, "Say it." ”

"The grass people are the sons of the Xu family, and the family has been slaves and maids in the Xu family for several generations, and the grass people know about the Xu family." Since he was taken down by Jinyiwei at Wuqing Banknote Pass, the second housekeeper who had already been repaired along the way really stabbed the Xu family with a knife in front of him.

"Since the beginning of Duke Wenzhen, the Xu family has colluded with the government to seize and occupy the land of the people of Songjiang..."

"You talk nonsense!" Xu Yuangao, who was red-eyed like a bullfight, suddenly pounced over and pinched the butler's neck, "The Xu family is so kind to you, you are so slanderous!" ”

Li Yunze laughed evilly, and kept knocking on the case with the whip in his hand, "What, I am angry and want to kill people?" ”

Xu Yuangao, who finally calmed down, let go of his hand tremblingly.

Looking at the Jinyi guards around him who looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man, he was terrified and frightened, and under various emotional conflicts, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Wake him up." Li Yunze did not have the slightest mercy, since he knew that the Xu family actually occupied 400,000 mu of land, he had no mercy for this family.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the high-quality fields can be sold for twenty or thirty taels, and the medium-sized acres can be sold for more than ten taels, even if they are under the fields, they can get five or six taels.

400,000 acres of land, even if it is calculated according to 10 taels and 1 acres, it will cost 4 million taels!

In the Ming Dynasty, a year's income from the field is that.

Even if he Xu Jie, even if he has been the first assistant for a hundred years, he can't make up so much silver with his calculations.

As for the income outside of Yulu, do you dare to say it in front of the emperor?

Jin Yiwei came in with a bucket and poured it directly on Xu Yuangao's head.

Stirred by the cold water, Xu Yuangao, who came to his senses, lay on the ground and cocked his ass and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" My Xu family has a merit to the Ming Dynasty. ”

To talk about the merits of the Xu family, that is, Xu Jie's move down Yan Song.

"Let's not mention the water in the so-called merits of the Xu family." Li Yunze sighed slightly, and the horsewhip in his hand was no longer knocked, "Even if it is meritorious, I have been rewarded back then." And the sage of Confucius said it clearly, the gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation. How many generations is your family? ”

Xu Yuangao was speechless when he said this, if he started to calculate from Xu Jie, he was exactly the sixth generation here.

"Those nobles of Ying Tianfu, who has no merit in their ancestors? Wei Guogong was still after the expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China by General Xu Da. If they have committed a crime, they will be dealt with in the same way. You Huating Xu family. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunze leaned over and looked over, "How old is it?" ”

I didn't say anything more later, and the most feared thing about this kind of thing was to investigate.

If you really check it carefully, you can find out everything for you.

Li Yunze, who felt a little bored, looked at Yang Ai... Zhou Daodeng next to him: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Long live Hui."

Zhou Daodeng saluted respectfully, "The minister has a slight friendship with the Xu family, and when a visiting friend passed by Huating, he was forcibly pulled by this fang as a guest. Chen Zhen didn't know that the Xu family was so criminal! ”

Yang Ai was stupid when he said this.

Obviously, Zhou Daodeng came to contact the Xu family by himself, and wanted to borrow contacts to see if there was a chance for recovery.

When they drank before, they still wanted to burn yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken, but they didn't expect to change their faces so quickly.

"I really didn't expect that Zhou Qing's family would have such a sense of justice."

Li Yunze, who looked eloquent, asked, "Does the Qing family have the intention of revenge?" ”

Zhou Daodeng, who was overjoyed, immediately kowtowed again and again, "The old minister is willing to go to the soup for long live, and he will not hesitate!" ”

God is pitiful, Zhou Daodeng's addiction is greater than Wen Tiren, and what he lacks is an opportunity.

"In that case, then you will be appointed as the governor of Yingtian first." couldn't help laughing, "Give you three days to quickly try the matter of the Xu family in Huating." Well done, rewarded. If you don't do it well, then where you come from and where you go. The opportunity is given to you, it's up to you to do it. ”

Wang Chengen quickly spread out the blank decree and quickly wrote down the appointment.

Immediately, Fang Zhenghua took out the seal of the celebrant from the package he was carrying and handed it over.

And Xu Xianchun also stepped forward to take out the cabinet seal from the package and handed it over.

Originally, the Great Seal of the Cabinet was with Wen Tiren, but now he stayed in Yangzhou City to be busy, so he simply handed it over and ran around with Li Yunze.

Use the big seal and send it to Li Yunze.

When Li Yunze uses the jade seal, this is a formal decree that has been certified by the emperor, the cabinet, and the celebrant supervisor.

What is called the name of righteousness, this is the name of righteousness.

The holy decree was handed to Zhou Daodeng's hand, and the old man's tears fell on the spot.

The opportunity he had been waiting for for years had finally come.

When he kowtowed again, he unexpectedly saw Li Yunze's gaze, which actually fell on the body of Yang Ai, the maidservant behind him.

Zhou Daodeng, who was full of energy, quickly investigated the affairs of the Xu family in Huating with the cooperation of Jinyiwei.

The charges include, but are not limited to, 'rebellion against the remnants of Wei, remnants of the blood alliance, trafficking in illicit salt, prison guards and theft, bending the law for receiving money, intimidating money, fighting and injuring people, threatening people to death, false accusations, instigating lawsuits, entrusting official affairs, knowing and hiding, buying good people as slaves, etc.'

Zhou Daodeng was extremely ruthless, he didn't care about the previous friendship at all, and even scuttled the boat of friendship with his own hands.

The advice he wrote to deal with it was: 'Violate the ten evils, and do not discuss the eight evils.' Xu Yuangao is below the fifth sentence. Confiscate the family property and get rid of the ancestral hall. ’

The so-called ten evils are rebellion, rebellion, disrespect and filial piety.

Those who are tainted with these crimes belong to the 'common forgiveness', that is, they cannot be pardoned and cannot be forgiven.

The so-called eight discussions are to discuss the reason, the merit, the virtuous, the noble, and so on.

Essentially, it is to open a back door to the powerful, which can reduce the guilt.

The so-called five punishments are flogging, rods, imprisonment, exile, and death.

In detail, it is Ling Chi's execution, beheading, remote confiscation, responsibility, relocation, stabbing and other punishments.

Needless to say, the ancestral hall is the ancestral tablet that is not allowed to continue to be worshipped.

For this performance, Li Yunze only crossed out the ancestral hall, because it was not necessary.

All other dispositions are allowed.

The famous Xu Huating died with the wind almost overnight.

All the acres of land in their family were collected by the inner government of Huangzhuang and distributed to the tenants of the original Xu family.

In the past, the Xu family's acres of land were not taxed, but they did not give much benefit to the tenants, at most, they barely starved to death.

Now that Li Yunze is collecting taxes, he has left enough balance for the tenants so that they can live better.

Daming's Tian Fu is actually really not high.

The reason why the world died because of the land endowment was purely because the vast majority of the fields did not pay taxes, and they also forced those who paid the land endowment to die.

When Chongzhen carried his belt up the coal mountain, he didn't understand why he just added so much lost land endowment, and it made a fuss to the point that the world was against him.

Because he increased according to the total number, but after the increase in income was increased tenfold and hundredfold, it fell on the heads of the people who only had a small number of acres.

Chongzhen didn't understand, but Li Yunze understood it very well.

To deal with these big landlords, any gentle means are nonsense, and only an iron-blooded sweep is the only way out.

Zhou Daodeng, who was full of hope, waited for two days and did not wait for the reward promised by Li Yunze.

After pondering for a while, he immediately took Yang Ai to ask for an audience.

"What's the matter?"

"Hooray." Zhou Daodeng saluted respectfully: "Long live the tireless work for the people of the community, and there are no useful people around to serve." ”

He motioned to Yang Ai, who bowed his head and saluted on the side, "There is a maidservant girl named Yang Ai in the minister's family, and she is willing to follow Banzai and serve the holy driver." ”

"Yang Ai."

Li Yunze, who has been back to the modern world in the past few days and has specifically checked Zhou Daodeng's information, asked with a smile, "Have you ever known Xin Jiaxuan's 'I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this'." ”
