Chapter 374: Removal of Meritorious Names
Cheng Jingzhou has a father-in-law who is a third-grade official, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so no one dares to suppress his folds.
That night, it was presented to the Imperial Palace.
In addition to writing a recital to the saint, Cheng Jingzhou also wrote a recital to the Ministry of Rites.
He did not distort the facts, but focused on portraying Wang Juren's oppression of the family, and the destruction of the farmer's family.
This 'almost' is used wonderfully.
After all, it is a fact that Geng Dalang was injured, and it is also a fact that Geng Hanzi's family can't afford medicine.
In this way, it seems that no plot has been fabricated, but Wang Youfu's image seems to have fallen to the bottom in the eyes of the Ministry of Rites and His Majesty.
There are 600 acres of tax-free land, and they are not satisfied, and they dare to conceal their land properties, and even oppress the peasants and commit murder, which is simply reading the book of sages in vain!
If there is only one person in this world who can remove a person's fame for no reason, it can only be the emperor!
Now, when Emperor Jingwen was in a state of rage, he naturally criticized one word without mercy: "Quasi!" ”
The next day, without waiting for the Ministry of Rites to report, the reply had already reached the Fengxian County Government.
Such a speed is also something Cheng Jingzhou didn't expect.
Who would have thought?
I didn't expect it!
He had just thought about reporting the matter, but he was told that the Holy Lord had already given instructions and that there was no need to report it again.
Ministry of Rites: ......
It's speechless.
The news that Wang Youfu was dismissed and made a name for himself spread rapidly in Feng County.
When Wang Youfu learned the news, he immediately fainted.
Without fame, he is not even a fart in Feng County, how will he go out to meet people in the future?
How many people have been offended because of their superior status before, and now, how many people can't hate to fall into the well immediately.
Cheng Jingzhou announced the news only after Wang Youfu sent all the fines and compensation, mainly because he was afraid that he would be angry before he paid the fines.
Now that everything is in order, whether the king is rich or alive or dead has nothing to do with them.
And Cheng Jingzhou's expectations were not bad, when Emperor Jingwen saw the report he presented, he immediately summoned several ministers, one of whom was Xie Xiuwen.
"I knew that some nobles of the family had a serious annexation of land, but I never thought that it was just a small person who had such great courage. If it weren't for Cheng Jingzhou's cleverness, I'm afraid that it would have caused a catastrophe at this time! ”
"What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, the land is the foundation of my great rule, and it is also the opportunity for those farmers to live, this Wang Youfu is indeed too bold, and this move should be severely punished."
When it's not about you, all the adults are rightful and righteous.
Emperor Jingwen called them over, just to show his attitude, to let them all know that this time Qingzhang is not a fool to pass the test.
"It's just a Feng County, it can make such a big thing, this is still under the control of Jingzhao Mansion, imagine if it is a remote place, if those farmers have no way to live, it is not the imperial court that is embarrassed by the grass?"
As soon as he heard this, he knew that the emperor was furious, and several ministers knelt down to plead guilty.
"The Qingzhang matter is a major event of our dynasty, and it is the first priority at present. If the household department is too busy, I will send a few more messengers out to inspect, and if I find that there is something to protect the officials, I will not spare it! ”
"Yes, Holy Wise."
Xie Xiuwen was not sent out this time, but instead sent several upright young officials in the Hanlin Academy.
has not officially entered the court, and there is still a little bit of righteousness in his body, and he has not been contaminated by this filthy atmosphere, so he is still more reliable.
It's just that he has no experience in the end, so Emperor Jing Wen still transferred some experienced military attachés to his peers, even if he can't play the eyes of those civil ministers, at least it can play a certain deterrent role in terms of force value.
There are a lot of people needed to clean up.
Although there are officials in the county government, it is impossible to send them out, the county government always has to keep people, and there must be people patrolling the city gate or the market, especially at night, patrols are essential.
Although Cheng Jingzhou hopes that everyone can work hard, he will not treat people as cattle and horses.
Therefore, during the day, when the day is clear, there will be a lot of white servants who run before and after, and there are thirty percent in the county government. The people stayed, and there were two percent. People have to patrol the streets and alleys, and there can be no other chaos at this time.
In addition, Cheng Jingzhou also interviewed some well-known squires in Feng County, and each of them sent some family members or children and grandchildren to follow them, of course, they will not be allowed to participate in the opportunity to survey their own land, but in this way, it can give them a sense of participation, and it can also make them all settle down.
As far as Cheng Jingzhou is concerned, the most important thing is that he can save some money.
Don't look at the two taxes and fines collected by the county government, which seem to be a lot, but they can't stand the flowers.
These white servants, at least one or two taels of silver have to be given in a month, Xie Xiuqi and the chief bookkeeper have a list for him, and more than 100 people work with him every day, which means that he has to pay more than 100 taels a day!
No amount of money can afford to spend so much.
Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou came up with such a way to reduce the pressure on the yamen.
In just a few days, the number of white servants has been reduced by half, and the expenses of their county government have also been greatly reduced.
Since the outbreak of the beating of Wang Juren, Cheng Jingzhou's fame in Feng County has been completely opened.
After all, in the previous disposal of the Du family's property, there was no trial, and the Du family only paid a fine and made up the tax, and did not see any blame for the Du family.
Now that this Wang Youfu has an accident, it will be very different.
But all the squires who have some face are also quick to think about it at this time, just hoping not to find out their heads.
Some people are smart, and after secretly transferring the land to a village, they will ask the family to write an IOU, and then quietly take back the land after the matter of clearing the zhang.
In this way, it is still the farmers who are pitted.
Because there are white deeds and red deeds in this land deed, the deed entered into privately by the buyer and seller without going through the government is called a draft deed or a white deed, and a third-party certifier is usually written on the deed.
The deed issued after the tax is verified by the government is called a red deed or an official deed.
The paper of the red deed is also white, but it is an official uniform printed deed.
The reason why it is called a red deed is probably because the deed is stamped with a big red official seal.
The red deed has been verified and issued by the government, and naturally has a certain binding force, and if it is really in court, the effect of the red deed is obviously higher than that of the white deed.
But the white deed is also a kind of deed that is generally recognized, especially among the people, and some people don't even know that there is such a thing as a red deed!
Doesn't that give some people an opportunity to take advantage of?
