"Ahem!"

Xiao Fang coughed lightly twice.

"Let me tell you, the railroad was just built near my house last month, and the housing prices near my house have risen gradually, and ......."

Xiao Fang: "??? ”

Seeing that his cough didn't seem to attract their attention, Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed.

But soon he returned to normality, and no one paid attention anyway, he was embarrassed, and he increased his strength again and coughed a few times.

"Ahem!!"

This time it attracted the attention of some people, but most of them, especially those standing in the back, were still talking about it, after all, 50,000 people were standing in the school yard densely, and the voice was low and the people behind couldn't hear it.

Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed now, when the Yunzhou army was stationed here before, even if it was 200,000 people, the main general would stand on the platform and speak, and the people behind him could hear it clearly.

I didn't expect that when it was my turn, I couldn't hear clearly after only 50,000 people.

At this time, an old official quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Lord Taishou, the previous military attachés were all skilled in internal skills, plus they were martial artists, and their voices were already loud, and your small voice could not be heard at all in the back." ”

Xiao Fang was stunned, and then asked, "Then how do I get their attention?" ”

The old official smiled, beckoned, and immediately a big gong was brought by the official for a few years!

While!!! While! While! While!

The loud sound of gongs and drums immediately drowned out the chatter in the school yard.

Only then did the young people who were still talking finally turn their attention to Dianjiangtai's side.

Seeing this, Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even a little lucky.

This former county guard left his own government team is still useful, but fortunately they are there today.

Immediately after that, Xiao Fang straightened up again, and was about to speak, when suddenly an iron horn was handed over from the side.

Xiao Fang was stunned, then immediately reached out to take it, and showed a satisfied smile to the old servant on the side.

The old servant smiled back, and then quickly retreated to the rear.

With the horn in his hand, Xiao was relieved to have a bottom, and even said to everyone: "The reason why Your Majesty wants you to go to Guannei is to let you go to Guannei!" ”

Officer???!!!!

The young people were suddenly shocked!

Isn't this an official only a student from a university like the Political Affairs School have a chance?

When did students like them in an intermediate academy actually have the opportunity to become officials?

Isn't the county keeper framing us?

Facing everyone's skeptical eyes, Xiao Fang smiled slightly, and then explained:

"Your Majesty wants to clear the acres of land in order to clarify the land in the world!

Why do we need to clarify the land under heaven?

That's because the fish scale atlas in the hands of the government is not accurate!

There are a lot of hidden fields that are not on the fish scale atlas!

Why is that?

Who of you knows? ”

After the young men looked at each other for a moment, someone finally said with some hesitation: "It's because the local landlords and gentry have hidden a lot of newly cultivated land. ”

Xiao Fang nodded and shook his head, explaining:

That's right! Not right either!

Why?

That's because the local landlords and gentry not only concealed the newly cultivated land, but even used means to encroach on the common people's land.

And although the land that was usurped by the people was ripe, they only had to let it out of the hands of the people, and then leave it to waste for three or five years.

It is said that it is deserted, but it is just a name on the fish scale atlas, and when it becomes a wasteland again in the official atlas, this cooked land will naturally disappear from the fish scale atlas.

And that's where part of the Hideta comes from.

These landlords and gentry took root in the local area, taking advantage of the information gap and their own power to constantly use various means to disappear the good fields from the fish scale atlas, and even the year of the catastrophe was the best time for them to do evil.

For example, if a certain place is flooded, then they can cooperate with the local government to cross out a part of the field from the fish scale atlas in the name of being washed away by the water, and then receive it in their own hands.

In this way, they have more land, and it is also land that is not subject to taxes. ”

After Xiao Fang's words were finished, there was a silence in the field, and many young students who graduated from the intermediate academy felt that their worldview had been reshaped, and there was still such an operation in this world?

Xiao Fang waited quietly, first letting them digest the amount of information in the previous words before continuing:

As a result of this, more and more fields were hidden, while fewer and fewer fields were recorded in the government's scale books.

As a result, the annual taxes collected by Chaotian are getting smaller and smaller, and without taxes, the court has no money, and there is no money to maintain the operation of the imperial court, and there is no money to build the army, which also led to the weakening of the previous Great Song Dynasty.

The people are also getting more and more miserable, the court has no money, and the people have no money, so where does the money go? ”

The crowd bowed their heads in contemplation.

Xiao Fang grinned slightly and said the answer: "The money is in the hands of those landlords and gentry!"

They hid the land and encroached not only on the interests of the imperial court, but also on the interests of the common people.

They will even make the government distribute the taxes that should have been paid by themselves to the people through improper transactions, which leads to the people who have no land in their hands, but they still have to pay a huge tax every year!

Life became more and more difficult, and even sold houses and fields, and then these landlords and gentry went to buy back their houses and fields at low prices, thus forcing more people to sell their houses and fields!

Since then, it has fallen into a vicious circle and is out of control!

If they are allowed to go on like this, then the final result will be a complete explosion like a bomb!

With a sound of princely generals, Xiangning has a kind of? The people will revolt!

The Great Song of Nuoda will also be on the verge of danger!

And if you want to stop this vicious circle, you must start from the root cause and let the imperial court receive the tax it should have received.

So His Majesty and the imperial court are about to start clearing the fields.

But it is useless to clear the acres of land, as long as those landlords and gentry are still there, they still control those resources and forces in the countryside!

Then one day the sight in front of you will appear again!

At that time, will there still be a male lord like His Majesty today in the Great Song Dynasty to clear the acres of land again?

Or will the landlords and gentry after our purging this time guard against it?

It will be even more difficult then! ”

Xiao Fang's gaze swept around everyone, and then continued:

"So in order to avoid this from happening, we must get rid of the roots of these landlords and gentry, Your Majesty has thought of a way, that is, to let the imperial power go to the countryside and completely extend the control of the imperial court to the countryside!

So that they can no longer do evil in the countryside with impunity!

Let the majesty of the imperial court exist in the village, and dismantle the ability of these landlords and gentry to control the locality!

And to do this, Your Majesty needs a group of capable people! There is faith! Aspiring young people who are willing to go deep into the grassroots for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty will help out! ”

When Xiao Fang said this, all the young people felt that their blood was burning.

They are doing a great thing, they are doing something that is enough to go down in history, and maybe in the future their names will be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to admire.

And to reach such heights, they now only need to make a choice.

And there is no doubt that they are ready to choose!
