Chapter 123: Breaking the Boat

The government office.

King Qian gathered all the officials of the government to discuss matters such as clearing the hidden households in Lingnan, re-measuring the land, and registering the register.

Many of the officials of the original Yamen were opposed, but it was useless for them to oppose this decree, because Lingnan had been under the jurisdiction of King Qian from the moment the old emperor issued a holy decree.

After discussing for a few days, they came up with a rough charter, and King Qian summoned all the squires and powerful families in the jurisdiction, most importantly, those who were famous, all of whom were present.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Lingnan Prefecture was shaken.

The officials of the government are somewhat involved with various families, and some are even members of the family, and a few days ago, when they were discussing the cleaning up of hidden households and re-measuring the land register, they heard the rumors.

At that time, they didn't care, everyone has been like this for thousands of years, who can believe that King Qian, a straw bale prince, would have such courage to really take Lingnan as a knife?

For the ancients, grain fields were the most hardcore immovable assets.

It is equivalent to the same reason that later generations are concerned about whether there is a house, whether there is a car, and whether there is a deposit.

Now that King Qian is really ready to move their real estate, it is equivalent to cutting their flesh with a knife, how can they not be in a hurry?

For this reason, after receiving the notice, acquaintances began to discuss countermeasures in tandem to see how to deal with this policy of King Qian.

All along, they believe that there is a policy and a countermeasure.

Everyone worked together and believed that there would always be a way to come up with a solution.

Not to mention, through everyone's unremitting efforts, these squires really let them come up with a solution.

Just a few days after King Qian issued the notice, before the day of the gathering, the archives of the government were on fire.

The row of cabinets containing the books of the acres of land were all burned clean.

Without the account book of acres of land, see how King Qian asked the officials below to clean up the hidden households, and how to re-measure the land?

Looking at the burned account books that only had a pile of black ashes, King Qian's face was darker than black ashes, when he was first preparing to implement this decree, he had thought that there would be many obstacles, and the local heroes would not let him get his wish.

It's just that he didn't expect the obstacle to come so strongly.

The unscrupulous provocation of these people also happened to provoke the fighting spirit of his second ancestor.

Li Chengshang, the uncle of the palace, asked worriedly: "Father, what can I do about this?" ”

The account books were burned before the decree was implemented, could it be that the third fire burned by King Qian's mansion in Lingnan ended without a problem?

"This king has never met such a disobedient person since he was born, and since they are afraid in their hearts that this king will clean up the hidden household and rebuild the land and acres, then this king will not be as good as they want."

Speaking of this, King Qian's cold eyes swept over the officials present, "Lingnan is in ruins, it is imperative to re-measure the land and re-register the acres!" ”

"If some people or forces want to use this as a means to make this king retreat, then he really looks down on people, and he doesn't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"

Hearing this, all the officials onlookers chuckled in their hearts, could this be self-defeating?

King Qian glared at the officials who didn't dare to look at him, some were weak-hearted, some were anxious, and some were even more indifferent, he snorted heavily and threw his sleeves away.

Something so big happened, and several lords and staff members of the palace hurriedly followed suit.

King Qian entered the study and had a big temper again, spitting fragrant mouth, and scolded almost all the squires and powerful officials in Lingnan.

Several masters and staff members stood aside, silently enduring the poison of this magic sound, without saying a word.

"Go and check it out for the king!"

"This king wants to see who is eating inside and outside the yamen, if this king knows who it is, this king must skin him, and then exterminate his family, so that everyone can see the end of betraying this king!"

Mr. Zhang saw that King Qian was tired of scolding, and sat down to serve a teacup and drink tea, so he asked: "Now that the prince's account book has been destroyed, what should we do next?" ”

King Qian put down the teacup after hearing this, looked up at the people in the study, and his anger did not subside: "The account book is ruined, and we have the final say on how much land they have. If you can't get the account books and still want to make trouble, you will be arrested and locked up in prison. ”

"What if we arrest people and they don't stop?" Mr. Zhang asked again.

Before the plan is implemented, imagine all the possibilities, so as not to be in a hurry.

King Qian leaned back in his chair, the anger just now was almost gone, and after listening to Mr. Zhang's question, he was a lot calmer, "Our Lingnan garrison is not an ornament, if they really don't know each other, then they should be arrested for rebellion, and the yamen is not closed enough, so they will be arrested and let them go to the mine to serve as labor." I don't believe that they all suffered from this! ”

A few people in the study heard it clearly, what the prince meant was that it was impossible to retreat, and if the forces of all parties did not know each other, then they could only take tough measures.

That's it

Mr. Yan took a step forward and asked, "If the forces of all parties in Lingnan are forced to resist fiercely, and this matter is transmitted to the imperial court, and the imperial court reprimands, will the prince have a way to deal with it?" ”

In fact, Mr. Yan wants to ask, can the prince withstand the pressure of the imperial court at that time?

King Qian pursed his lips and said nothing, if this matter is done, it will definitely not make any waves when it is passed on to the imperial court, but if the officials force the people to rebel, the new emperor will definitely issue an order to reprimand him.

If the civil official clique in the court comes up with any ideas to embarrass him, he will be passive at that time.

Mr. Zhang asked everyone to sit down and discuss slowly, and beckoned the little servant to serve tea to the masters.

The second master, Li Chengzhan, opened the corner of his robe and sat down, and waited for the little girl with tea to come out of the study before he said murderously: "What everyone thinks is that these are possible, if some people are arrested and tortured to extract confessions, I don't believe that they can always grit their teeth and insist on not telling the truth." If we have the evidence, and they still want to make trouble, then we will deal with them according to the crime of rebellion, and kill them to see if they are honest! ”

Mr. Zhang was speechless, if he could speak with his fists about everything, then why did the imperial court revise the law?

Haven't you heard of this second master, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

How ruthless the suppression was before, how ruthless the resistance will be in the end!

Mr. Yan came back from his contemplation, pondered for a moment and said: "We raided the Lou family a few days ago, and we can take the Lou family as a typical example in this incident, and redistribute the land confiscated by the Lou family according to the population of the hidden households, so that the hidden households of other forces can see the actual benefits. ”

With practical benefits, they are not afraid of hidden people following and making trouble.

Outside the city, the reclamation of Xia Ji Grange is in full swing, and the construction of houses has not stopped for a moment.

Mrs. Ding was mowing grass on the hillside with a basket and a group of women and children.

It is said that her family is living a good life now, the second son Ding Dazhuang is the captain of the princess's personal guard, and the eldest son was hired by the princess as the treasurer of the salt shop, managing all the salt shops in the city.

The two sons get a high salary every month, so how can she still need a mother-in-law to go out to work?

Dante's wife was an idle woman, and when she heard that the Grange collected weeds and leaves for fertilizer, and that a basket of forage could be exchanged for five coppers, she immediately came out with a basket.

When Xia Jing took advantage of the cool morning and rushed to Xia Ji Grange in a carriage, Mrs. Ding, the women and children had already cut a basket of forage and came back.

Many pits have been dug in the fields for fertilizer, and the pits have been filled with a lot of forage.

Xia Jing stood beside the pit and asked Zuo Jiuchuan, the steward of the grange: "Is this fertilizer enough for these wastelands?" ”

"This bit of fertilizer is definitely not enough, and the small ones also let people dry and pile up the roots of the trees and grasses dug up from the wasteland, and cover them with soil and light them to burn a lot of fire fertilizer."

Zuo Jiuchuan is the little uncle of Zuo Jing, the leader of the personal guard squadron, and was hired by Xia Jing as the manager of the grange because he was a good farmer at home.

The ash of plants and trees that he said is black and is generally used for base fertilizer, that is, the base fertilizer before planting crops.

It can be seen that the fertility of this fire fertilizer should not be underestimated.

Xia Jing bowed: "For farming, you know better than me, a layman, and you look at the arrangements for things in the grange." If the wasteland is not finished by the time of summer planting, you can plant crops on the wasteland first, and the remaining wasteland can be reclaimed again when the farming is slack. ”

Zuo Jiuchuan should come down, looked at the pit that was manure and hesitated for a while, and reminded: "It's just that the fertility of this little leaf and weed is limited, and it may not be able to achieve the expected effect at that time." ”

Xia Jing nodded, indicating that she knew.

Then she smiled and asked, "How is the barn I asked you to build?" ”

"It's basically finished, and only the last thatched roof remains."

"Then let's take a look." Xia Jing said and turned around and walked towards the breeding area.

The Grange Residential Area and the Feeding Area are separated, and the Feeding Area is built closer to the fields in the mountains, all for the convenience of transporting fertilizer later.

The feeding area is divided into several areas, cattle, sheep and pigs, as well as chickens and ducks are divided into different areas and built, which is convenient for cleaning and sanitation in the future and more convenient to manage.

Xia Jing took a turn and finally stopped in front of the creek next to the feeding area.

The water quality of this creek is very clear, and the livestock and poultry in the breeding area will rely on this stream for water in the future.

"It won't take a few days to build the roof, and you can send people to the surrounding villages to buy piglets, chickens and ducks and raise them. When the feeding area is full, there will be no shortage of manure in your manure pit. ”

Zuo Jiuchuan explained with a smile: "Some time ago, the small one sent someone out to contact a batch of poultry and livestock, and when this top was covered, the small one was sent over." ”

Xia Jing smiled and nodded, it is best for Zuo Jiuchuan to have a charter in her heart, so as not to worry about everything.

At this time, the Grange did not raise poultry and livestock, and there were no crops in the field, Xia Jing turned around at will, understood the basic situation of the Grange, and took advantage of the fact that the sun was not too strong, and took a carriage to the city.

As soon as I entered the city, I felt that the people seemed to be more energetic than before, and they gathered in groups to discuss something?

Ye Fei followed the carriage and informed Xia Jing of his discovery.

Xia Jing released her spiritual abilities, and after listening clearly to what the people were discussing, she sighed in her heart, how can any reform go smoothly, and the resistance from the outside world will be much greater than imagined.

For example, this time, the forces of all parties in Lingnan really have the courage to break through the cauldron and sink the boat.

Do things ruthlessly, directly burn the account books, there is no evidence, they just want to see the jokes of the palace.

See if your palace is capable, but if you don't have account books, how can you re-measure the land register?

They relied on the luck mentality of not holding the people accountable for the law, and the forces of all parties wanted to twist into a rope so that the government could helpless them.

It's just that the forces of all parties are really unbreakable?

Xia Jing thinks it doesn't matter!

It's not a big deal to see the excitement!

The streets at the entrance of the government were surrounded by many people watching the excitement at both ends.

The guards rode horses and whipped them away, so that the people could reluctantly give way to the people.

Xia Jing's carriage was surrounded by the guards and entered the back office through the side door.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she heard the sigh from inside, pushed the door in, "What's the matter?" Alas, sighing, your good luck has been ruined by you. ”

When Mr. Zhang saw Xia Jing who pushed the door in, his spirit was shocked, and finally a master with normal brain circuits came.

Like King Qian and several masters, they are tough with the forces of all parties in Lingnan, and they will be killed if they are not satisfied.

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang's head hurts.

When King Qian saw Xia Jing coming in, his eyes also lit up, and finally there was someone who could discuss and make an idea.

"Where did the princess come from?"

Xia Jing sat on the main seat, snatched the fan in King Qian's hand, and fanned herself, "I went to the Grange today, and I just came back from outside the city." ”

King Qian personally poured a cup of tea for Xia Jing, and handed his handkerchief over, wanting to wipe her sweat.

Xia Jing pushed it away with disgust, took the wet handkerchief handed over by Hongmei with her backhand, and wiped her face and hands.

King Qian saw her drink a cup of tea before asking, "The princess should already know what happened to the palace today, what do you think about this?" ”

Xia Jing didn't answer his question immediately, but asked them instead, "What do you guys have in mind?" What charter can be discussed? ”

Mr. Zhang stood up, bowed to Xia Jing, and said everyone's opinions just now.

Finally, he asked, "Does the princess think Mr. Yan's method is feasible?" ”

Xia Jing nodded, "Yes, it is equivalent to directly buying the support of hidden households and ordinary people, but the forces of Lingnan will still not compromise." ”

King Qian nodded like pounding garlic, "The princess is right, this king said that it will not work to directly divide the land to the hidden households, at most they can rent the land for cultivation, and when it comes to the autumn harvest, the palace will only accept half of the rent they usually give to Haoqiang." ”

Paying half of the rent less than usual is already a huge temptation for hermits.

Xia Jing didn't expect King Qian to be so stingy and take money so seriously.

If outsiders want to get some money and food out of his hands, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he made a lot of determination to give away the house last time.

Mr. Zhang glanced at King Qian helplessly, turned to Xia Jing and asked, "Does the princess have any good way to carry out this decree?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at Hongmei.

Hongmei understood, walked to the door and opened the study.

After a while, Xia Jing's guards walked in carrying boxes of wood.

Except for the people brought by Xia Jing, everyone else inside looked puzzled.

"Princess, you are." King Qian pointed to the wooden chest, could it be that where did this get the silver?

Xia Jing raised her chin, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself." ”

King Qian stood up and walked slowly to the box, looked at Xia Jing again, and hesitated for a while before lifting the lid.

Curious, the two gentlemen and several masters surrounded them.

The ledgers in the box were neatly arranged.

King Qian was overjoyed, and immediately took out one, "This is the backup account book?" ”

If it is a backup account book, then they have a basis for law enforcement, and those who dare to be arrogant in front of him can clean them up.

The two gentlemen also took out a copy, and Mr. Zhang couldn't wait to look at it, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

This provoked Li Chengshang next to him to ask: "Sir, is this a backup account book?" ”

Hearing Li Chengshang's question, Mr. Zhang did not dare to slack off, and quickly replied: "No, this is the tax details of all parties in Lingnan. ”

Li Chengshang didn't know why, and said unhappily: "It's just a tax detail, what are you excited about?" ”

Mr. Zhang didn't care about Li Chengshang, but bowed to Xia Jing, "The princess's method is really wonderful, and this time it broke the situation set up by all parties." ”

"What's the method?" King Qian flipped through the account book and threw it back into the box.

"Haha." Mr. Zhang smiled from ear to ear, and finally laughed enough, before explaining: "These tax ledgers show how much tax has been paid by various forces over the years, and when the land is re-measured, we can just implement the ownership of the land according to this tax index." ”

King Qian excitedly wanted to pat his thigh, "In this way, those heroes who evade taxes and evade taxes, this time I am afraid that they will be so angry that one Buddha is born and two Buddhas ascend to heaven!" ”

What is it called?

It's called lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot.
