The yamen is big, the main hall is also big, a group of officials came to the hall, this is the Zhizhou Yamen, the top position on the hall is usually where Zheng Zonglun can sit, but at this time he smiled and said: "Governor Wang, please take a seat." ”

Zhizhou is slightly lower than the governor, and according to the official rank, the governor has to sit at the top.

But this is the governor's yamen, it is his territory in Zhizhou, according to the rules of officialdom, even if Wang Shouren is a superior, he is also a guest, and he can't sit in this position.

Even if he is sitting, he must be humble at this time, say something like he dare not dare to do something, be humble and polite, and then the big guy will pry him again, creating an atmosphere of harmony between the upper and lower officials, and then he can sit there.

But Wang Shouren did not give in at all, and walked to the position of the head very calmly and sat down, such a treatment, all the officials from Zheng Zonglun and below looked a little unpleasant, just by this move, it can be seen that this Wang Governor is very lonely.

Wang Shouren sat in the hall and said lightly: "Everyone should also find a place to sit, don't be polite." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zonglun suddenly raised his head and looked deeply at the governor in the hall, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered in his heart.

When I first arrived, I thought about being anti-customer-oriented, and I was afraid that I was too anxious.

The officials present were all standing there and did not move, and at this time, Zheng Zonglun spoke: "Everyone, what are you still standing and doing, the governor has spoken, why don't I find a place to sit?" ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the lower left side of Wang Shouren, and when he saw him sit down, everyone sat down according to their ranks.

Afterwards, Zheng Zonglun raised his head to look at Wang Shouren, wanting to see what kind of expression the governor had at this time.

However, Wang Shouren's expression did not change, and he still looked expressionless.

Zheng Zonglun moved his gaze back and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Come on, show you tea!" ”

Someone outside answered, but in a few moments, several clerks came in, one of whom was holding a tea tray with tea cups on it.

Entering the lobby, several clerks immediately walked up to Zheng Zonglun, first put a tea cup in front of him, a slight smile flashed at the corner of Zheng Zonglun's mouth, and then disappeared, and then scolded: "There are no rules, the governor is still sitting above, how can he show the official tea first?" Go, first bring it to the governor king. ”

"Yes."

The clerk answered, turned around and went to the top with the tea tray, and put the tea in front of Wang Shouren, "Lord Governor, please use tea." ”

"Thank you."

Wang Shouren thanked him, took a sip of the teacup, and praised: "Yes, it's good tea." ”

"It's just some ordinary sparrow's tip, where is it a good tea, my lord lifted it."

“.”

Wang Shouren bowed slightly, but did not answer, put the tea cup on the bookcase, and then quietly looked at the bookstore below to serve tea to those officials one by one.

Zheng Zonglun kept looking at him, but at this time, he couldn't help frowning.

From the time he came in to the present, he has attacked three times in a row, but the expression of this Governor Wang has not changed, and he has always been calm and even a little silent.

There are two reasons for this situation, one is that this Lord Wang's city is extremely deep, and he is very good at cultivating qi; Second, this Lord Wang is stupid, and he didn't see that these were being targeted at all.

And Zheng Zonglun is more inclined to the latter, after all, the news from above is that this Governor Wang is not very smart.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would not be so smart.

He couldn't help but mock in his heart, but it was not Wang Shouren who was mocking, but themselves, such a person was actually worthy of their previous strict battle, it was really a waste of energy.

After serving the tea, several secretaries gave a salute, and then withdrew, and Wang Shouren then said: "Let's discuss it." ”

The corners of Zheng Zonglun's mouth hung up, "We will listen to your lordship's orders." ”

The whole lobby immediately fell silent, and everyone put down the tea cups.

Wang Shouren said: "The imperial court wants to implement the law change in Changping, and you must all know about it. How important is this matter, there is no need to mention it, this is a major national policy of the imperial court, this Fu came to Changping, it is also for this matter, now it has been more than a month, I don't know how you are prepared, what regulations have been prepared for this matter? ”

Hearing this, all the officials present looked at each other, where is the charter?

This change of law, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a measure of land, and the issuance of an edict to apportionment of land into acres, where do you need any regulations?

So Zheng Zonglun spoke: "Lord Wang is the governor of the Qin mission who supervises this matter, these days the Lord has not been to the post, we dare not be specialized, just want to wait for the Lord to arrive, then listen to the orders of the Lord is this"

Wang Shouren answered, "There is no preparation, is it?" ”

"Yes."

"It's okay, let's start deliberating now." Saying that, Wang Shouren looked around in the crowd, "They all reported the acres of land in their respective counties, starting from Changping County, let's talk." ”

An official stood up, it was Wu Xiancheng of Changping County, "If you return to the county lord, there are about 180,000 acres of land in this county. ”

"Specifically?"

"That's probably it, and you have to go and check the yellow book for details."

"Then someone will go and get it, and it will not be far away."

Wu Xiancheng was silent for a moment, and then responded: "Yes." ”

Then he ordered people to go to the county government to get it, and it was indeed not far away, and after about two sticks of incense, several scribes who went out came back with a thick stack of books.

Wu Xiancheng took it for a while, raised his head and said, "My lord, the total is 183,735 acres of land. ”

Wang Shouren asked: "Is this yellow book renovated every year?" ”

"It's counted every three years, and it was just counted last year."

"I only counted it once last year." Wang Shouren's voice was very soft, this figure clearly did not match, and there was a difference of at least 100,000 mu from the land yield he calculated.

"Have you ever been convinced that these acres of land have not been concealed or unreported?"

Wu County hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhixian and Zhizhou, and then nodded: "Generally speaking, these are these, even if there is a so-called hidden field, it is not much different." ”

"Does that mean that there are at least about 200,000 acres of fields in Changping County?"

"My lord said and laughed, how can there be so many hidden fields, that is, there are a few bold people, together, it is almost the same to hide thousands of acres in the county."

When he said this, Wu Xiancheng's expression was unnatural, there are definitely a lot of hidden fields, but who dares to say it truthfully, everyone can hide it as much as possible, even if it is now, the acres of fields will be checked immediately, and it is still hard to hide it.

Not only is there a large number of hidden fields, but even there will be no shortage of hidden households.

Once these are found out, they have to lose their black yarn hats, so this change makes people feel like they are facing a great enemy.

"Okay, then according to what you said, all the acres of land in Changping County are about 190,000 mu, but like this?"

At this time, the officials present frowned, and they didn't understand the intention of Wang Shouren to mention these repeatedly, but after a while, Wu Xiancheng still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"190,000 mu, after Changping County has measured the acres of land, if it exceeds 190,000 mu, then the excess will be disposed of according to the barren land and handed over to the imperial court.
