Chapter 49: The Salted Fish Eating Melons 21

Although I know that the emperor may be staring at his family, but the family has money and does not need it, some people can't help it, and when the time comes, I don't know who will use it, and if the emperor finds out, he will raid these people's homes.

Since the emperor is staring at these people, Linlang doesn't have to star, she is occasionally bored now, and will collect who is richer in Beijing, and then see if the other party has done illegal and criminal things, fortunately, when the court needs money, the fat sheep will be slaughtered, and the crisis of the court will be solved, so that the court will not have an accident, and the world will not be in chaos, affecting her living environment.

I have to say that after the operation of this dynasty for more than 100 years, some families in the court have accumulated a lot of money in a long-term peaceful environment, although it is not as much as Wang Xi, but the whole family has millions of families, and there is more than one, which shows the wealth of these families.

Of course, most of this money is obtained illegally.

This is also normal, because if you rely on normal ways to get it, how can you save so fast, you must know the price of this era, twenty taels of silver can live a good life for a family, millions of purchasing power, almost tens of billions of dollars in some modern worlds, just relying on normal ways, and not like Wang Xi will do business (in fact, Wang Xi is not able to do business, but because of modern technology, relying on others will not do, only he can do it, monopoly to earn money, otherwise he really knows how to do business, how can he not make money in modern times), Where can I save so much, after all, you must know that every big family lives an extremely luxurious life.

With so much expenditure every year, you can still save millions, and you can't save it without relying on illegal means, just like the reason why millions of dollars of property suddenly popped up in the family when they were sick and retired before, isn't it because they copied the Wang's greedy ink?

The nature of these families is also the same as that of retired officials and other families, all of whom have been saved through some illegal means, including but not limited to heavy profit exploitation and forcible occupation of private land.

In particular, the forcible occupation of Mintian has been done by many big families in Beijing.

This is also normal, because these big families in Beijing have money, and it is impossible to buy land like ordinary people, one acre at a time, often hundreds of acres of land, and then a large area of land is fenced off and made into a village, in which there are tenant farmers and so on, so that it is easy to manage.

However, how can there be so many pieces of land in the world for you to buy, and generally the pieces are all owned by the owner, either by the same owner, or by many ordinary people.

The same owner is generally a little powerful, otherwise you can't get this piece of land, and if you buy theirs, unless you force people, otherwise how can people sell you the fields you have worked so hard to harvest? Unless you offer a very high price to make up for the hard cost of his harvest, maybe those people may sell, but those people from big families are not willing to spend more, so they simply use their power to force people.

As for if it is not the same owner's, but a lot of ordinary people's, it will be even more difficult to do, after all, one person is good to negotiate, a bunch of people, there are always thorns, and they are unwilling to sell, at this time, they can only force people with momentum.

Either way, it's a forcible occupation of people's land.

There is no way, they don't forcibly occupy the people's land, they want to buy a piece of land, basically it is impossible, they can only use power to suppress people and force people to hand over the fields.

Especially if you want to buy a field not far from the capital - after all, it is too far to manage, and by the end of the year, it is also troublesome to transport things into the capital - if you don't overwhelm people with power, you can't buy it, after all, who doesn't know that the field closer to the capital is a good thing, everyone wants to buy it, how can there be extra for you.

In order to forcibly occupy the people's land, these people don't know how many people they have harmed, so when the court needs money, report them, raid their homes, use the money to relieve disasters or do something, it can be regarded as paying back the people, and taking revenge on them for those sufferers.

Thinking so, Linlang waited for the opportunity to slaughter these fat sheep.

At present, the emperor has more than 100 million taels of silver, because the water conservancy has been repaired recently, and the border pass has also beaten the Hu people, this year the Hu people did not come to find trouble, and the expenses of the imperial court are much smaller, so the emperor has exempted the world from taxes for another year.

Originally, I wanted to reduce taxes, collect less a year, and then implement this policy for a few more years to recuperate with the people, but I think that some ministers are right, even if he says less, the low-level officials below don't know how to implement it, maybe they say that they will collect less, but they will collect about the same as in previous years, and then only hand over a little bit, and the rest will go into the pockets of those low-level officials, so they simply don't collect it, so that all the people know that those officials can't find a reason to collect, can really let the benefits really fall into the hands of the people.

In this regard, Linlang nodded, thinking that the emperor could know this, and it was good to be tax-exempt directly.

In the past, the imperial court had been in operation for more than 100 years, and the wind of land annexation was becoming more and more intense, and some places among the people could no longer afford it, which led to various uprisings from time to time.

In the hands of the emperor of this generation, because he copied the Wang family and copied the families of these officials, he had money, gave the people tax exemption, and then spent money to build water conservancy.

After all, if you don't pay taxes, you can still work and make money, one in and one out, which is equivalent to getting two money, and life will naturally be much better, and there will be a lot fewer uprisings.

Also, those big households looted the people's fat and people's ointment, copied them, and distributed the money to the people of the world, even if they couldn't make everyone in the world rich, but at least they could get a little better, which is called taking from the people and using it for the people.

So many times, when the world is in turmoil, there is no money to make trouble, and when there is money, the emperor is comfortable, the people can be comfortable, and even the border can be much quieter.

Of course, this also requires the emperor to be good, if it is a faint king, no matter how much money comes to them, it will not be used by the people, but will only be used by themselves, which is also the reason why Linlang will not help the faint king, but anyone who can benefit the people, Linlang will help each other like this, this is also Linlang to go to various ancient worlds, unless it is a faint king, otherwise it can make the people of that ancient world live a better life than before.

The people of those worlds probably never thought that there was actually an invisible hand in their own world helping them.

But it was said that Wang Xi passed away after lying in bed for five years.

However, he was eighty years old before, and at such an advanced age, he could continue to live for five years after being paralyzed and with poor food, I have to say that his vitality is really tenacious.

Has Wang Xi been reborn? Did you wear it back? No, this death, he is really dead, and what he hopes and plans cannot be realized.
