Chapter 798: Qingzhang Begins!

As soon as he left from Shangshan Mansion with a full load, Zhang Tang received the news that because of his assassination, His Majesty was furious in the court and sent 50,000 soldiers to Nanyang County to kill him.

An attitude that we must turn the entire Nanyang County upside down to see how many families these guys have, and it is worth risking killing Qin Cha to do it.

Zhang Tang is naturally not a fool, His Majesty's reason for sending troops because of him is just an excuse, His Majesty is just using this excuse to check the number of acres in Nanyang County.

As for the reason, he knew even more, and the terrifying number of acres that he copied from the temple a few days ago was the main reason why His Majesty moved this thought.

What's more important is that these brainless people in Nanyang County have given His Majesty an appropriate excuse.

Now that Your Majesty is using this excuse to send troops, there is no legitimate reason in the whole world to stop Your Majesty.

These things are arranged by His Majesty, and they have nothing to do with him.

Zhang Tang shook his head and left these behind, and now his top priority is to take advantage of the fact that His Majesty's people have not yet come, and quickly complete the inventory of the remaining Buddhist temples.

Otherwise, if you wait for His Majesty's people to come out of Qingzhang, the credit will be someone else's.

And His Majesty's movement can be regarded as relieving the pressure on himself, those individuals may have to concentrate on dealing with His Majesty in the next time, but they don't have to worry about themselves, after all, they just want money and land, if their deeds are known by Your Majesty, then what they want is their lives.

Which is more important, Zhao Jun believes that they can figure it out.

After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Tang immediately led people towards the county under Shangshan Mansion.

Where is there a large amount of income waiting for me?

And at the forefront of their industry, I don't know when, they have been taken to the forefront by a group of shirtless men.

Regarding these shirtless men, Zhang Tang still remembers that when he first went to court, he saw their demeanor in the household department.

But now, because they often carry silver and fight, these former suave household officials have almost become strong men who can run horses on their arms!

is really helpless to make Zhang Tang look helpless.

He could already imagine that when he returned to Beijing, all the other departments of the Shangshang Dynasty would be handsome sons or young people, or beautiful bearded princes, or majestic old men.

The only one is here in the household, a strong man in the water!

It's still the kind that is no worse than the other side!

That scene, just thinking about it makes my eyes spicy!

One night, when Zhang Tang passed by their camp, he also heard them discussing how to fight in the middle of the night, and the other party couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to confide in the hiding place of the silver!

Oh my God, is this a topic that should be discussed by the dignified Song civil officials?

What's the difference between this and martial arts, don't you remember when the sage said to convince people with reason?

The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and good civil officials have learned martial arts!

"Alas......"

……

Here, after a day of selecting and reorganizing the army, on the third day of the imperial decree, the 50,000 troops ordered by Zhao Jun finally gathered and set off.

This time, the general who led the troops was Guan Ning.

Because it is in Nanyang County, Nanyang County has many plains, so it is mainly cavalry, supplemented by infantry.

Guan Ning first transferred 10,000 men from the Black Tiger Army, then 20,000 cavalry from the Wuwu Iron Cavalry, and finally 5,000 dragoons.

The remaining 15,000 places had already been taken up by the dagoons' auxiliaries.

In addition, in order to prevent the group of guys in Nanyang from jumping over the wall and defending the city, Zhao Jun also transferred ten artillery pieces, one thousand musketeers and fifty Shenhuo flying crows from the Shenji Battalion.

It can be said that that group of guys occupies Nanyang City, and this lineup is enough to level the entire Nanyang City!

The army marched, the speed was not fast, and it took a full five days before finally coming from Bianjing to the territory of Nanyang County.

The arrival of the army made the people of Nanyang County very panicked, because generally if something big didn't happen, the court would not send so many soldiers to Nanyang County, and they even thought that the Huns were fighting again.

Later, when well-informed people said that these troops were sent by His Majesty to clear the fields, these people were immediately not surprised!

Because they learned that the so-called clearing of acres of land is to check all the land and the ownership of the land, so that it can be used to collect taxes.

The reason why they are happy is that they are taxed on a lot of fields that do not belong to them, and the specific operation is that this large family has a hundred acres of land.

However, he didn't want to pay the tax, so he found the county magistrate or other officials in the county who could handle the matter, and asked them to spread the tax on the people, so that the people could pay this tax.

Someone said, how can the people be willing to pay?

However, when the official of the government comes to the door with a knife and forces you to pay, and insists that you are going to pay so much, where can ordinary people resist?

The final result is naturally that you can only honestly accept this extra tax and pay it year after year.

The first thing the army did was still Nanyang City, the capital of Nanyang County.

When Guan Ning led the army into the city, the gentry and wealthy families of the entire Nanyang City panicked.

But under the pressure of the army, he could only hold back the fear in his heart.

At first, when Guan Ning came to the county guard's yamen and asked the local county guard to hand over the fish scale atlas, the county guard shirked it and said that it was a huge amount and needed to be sorted out before it could be taken out.

As a result, the library that stored the fish scale atlas caught fire that night.

Just as the county guard and the officials were happy in their hearts, and they were panicking on the surface and said that they had miskept it and asked for punishment, Guan Ning's words made them dumbfounded on the spot.

Seeing Guan Ning look around at them with cold eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked and sneered: "Don't panic, your lords, the atlas will be gone if it's gone."

Before he came, His Majesty said that if the atlas is gone, then use the most stupid method to re-measure all the land in Nanyang County inch by inch, and when the measurement is finished, let people take the title deed to claim the territory, and in the end, all the land that no one claims will be nationalized.

In addition, the household department also has the original record of the annual tax payment.

If the person who has not paid the land tax in previous years takes out the title deed and says that the land is his, he will be punished according to the concealment of land and evasion of taxes!

In the past, it was a fine of confiscated silver taels, but this time it has changed, Your Majesty is angry, we have already explained when we came out, once we find such a situation, we can directly cut down such tax evaders on the spot!

Before the dynasty, because there was no money, there was not enough silver to guard the border, and it seems that this kind of hidden land evasion tax collectors deserve death! ”

As he spoke, Guan Ning smiled as he asked people to take out the holy decree that Zhao Jun had sent before they sent out the army, which clearly wrote the words that Guan Ning had just said.

Seeing this, the officials of Nanyang County, who were still proud in their hearts just now, were instantly dumbfounded!

How good is that?

In order to clear the acres of land this time, Zhao Junke specially transferred a group of students who were proficient in mathematics from Yunzhou County.

The day after the fish scale atlas was burned, thousands of mathematicians from various counties under the rule of Yunzhou County arrived in Nanyang County under the escort of the army.

When they saw that they easily measured the actual situation of a piece of land and recorded it in the case and rewrote the fish scale atlas, the people of Nanyang County, who had ghosts in their hearts, wanted to cry without tears!

And just when Guan Ning was taking people to inventory the land, the appearance of a special event suddenly became a matter of concern to the entire Nanyang City!
