Thinking of this, Qionghua said righteously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen, as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, will be self-denying and courteous, and he will save himself three times a day. ”

"Wechen cares for the tenants under his rule and pays attention to education. The tenants under the rule of Weichen are not restless to live and work, bathed in the vast imperial grace, and are all grateful. ”

The prince looked at Qionghua with a smile and asked, "Is it?" So this palace asks Bachelor Qiong another question, I don't know how much rent I usually have to pay as a tenant in Daxia? ”

Qionghua said lightly: "Seventy." ”

The proportion of tenants' rent collected by landlords is not static, it depends on supply and demand.

For example, in the early days of the founding of Bactria in the country, there were very few lease relationships. Because at that time, the people were able to get a lot of land from the government.

If you can't plant your own land, who will rent it to plant?

As time went on, the population grew, and land annexation began.

The people who lost their land had to rent the landlord's land for farming. At the beginning, there was more land and few tenants, and the rent was generally 50%.

As time went on, the population grew, land annexation became more severe, and tenants became more and more numerous.

The relationship between supply and demand has changed, and the rent has also risen. It has risen from 50% to 60% and even 70% today.

The reason why Qionghua raised the rent to eighty percent is because there are now many tenants and less land available for rent. He didn't worry about no one renting his land.

When the prince heard Qionghua's answer, he asked again: "Then I don't know how much rent does Qiong's family receive?" ”

Hearing this question, Qiong Hua couldn't help but be surprised, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Other landlords' families collect seventy percent of the rent, and his family collects eighty percent, is this how he loves his tenants?

Although he can say that his family only collects 70% of the rent, or even 60%.

But since the prince asked this question, Qionghua had a faint hunch that the prince was afraid that he already knew the actual share figure collected by his family.

Thinking of this, Qionghua didn't dare to lie, he said with difficulty: "Eighty." ”

This answer made the Jinluan Palace, the originally noisy scene, couldn't help but be quiet.

They couldn't help but curse in their hearts, how could Qionghua, a dog thing, do so out of line?

The prince sneered even more: "It turns out that Master Qiong loves tenants so much, and educates them like this?" It turns out that Bachelor Qiong charges 10% more rent than others, and can these tenants still be grateful to Bachelor Qiong to the imperial court? ”

Cold sweat broke out on Qionghua's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, although my family's rent has been collected by one percent. But Wechen cares about the tenants very much, and my tenants live in abundance, so I will be grateful to the imperial court. ”

The prince asked again, "Hearing you say this, you must know very well about the life of the tenants?" If your tenants are in dire straits, they are going to starve to death, or if they are seriously ill, Maester Joan won't care if they live or die, right? ”

Who cares if the untouchables live or die? Sick and deserve to die!

Bachelor Joan is such a noble Hanlin, where would he deign to understand the tenants?

But this kind of thing can never be said, and there is no proof of it.

Qionghua gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen loves the people like a son, and he can't see the people suffering, let alone his own tenants? They are living in poverty, and I will not sit idly by. ”

The prince smiled: "Really? However, as far as this palace knows, after giving birth to a girl, the tenant of Bachelor Qiong's family in Lijia Village, because of the lack of surplus food, felt that the girl was losing money and goods, and drowned in a basin of water. ”

These words made the Jinluan Hall quiet again, and the faces of the hundred officials were already shocked.

Drowning a baby girl, this is usually a thing that only happens in disaster years or wars!

Now that the Great Xia is peaceful, such an appalling thing will happen in the village where Qionghua's tenants are located?

And once this is confirmed, Qiong Hanlin's reputation will be ruined!

Qiong Hua was also stunned, he felt that someone must have maliciously slandered him! Because of this, he really didn't know.

He fell to his knees with a puff and said loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has been wronged!" Weichen is wronged! This must be someone who maliciously slandered Weichen! The tenants of the Weichen family must not have such a horrific tragedy! Wechen dares to take a head guarantee! ”

The prince sneered again: "Really? However, what if Hongu tells you that this is what Hongu saw with his own eyes? Master Joan, do you think this palace is maliciously slandering you? ”

"Six days ago, Bengong secretly went to Lijia Village, that is, the village where your tenant Qiong is located. This palace is here, I just want to correct your name! Because this palace believes that you are a good official with a consistent heart! Clean! ”

"However, what this palace has seen with its own eyes and heard with its own ears is completely different from what you said in Master Qiong! You are full of benevolence and morality, but in reality? It's just a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes, it's simply not as good as pigs and dogs! ”

"This palace lives in the house of the old Li Tou in Lijia Village, and his eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl four days ago. However, there was no joy on their family's faces, Lao Li Tou brought a basin of water into the house, and Li Da hugged his daughter and pressed it into the basin, wanting to drown his own daughter alive! ”

"If this palace hadn't stopped it in time, that baby girl would have really been drowned alive in the basin! This palace angrily reprimanded Li Da for being inferior to beasts, tiger poison is not a problem, he actually wants to drown his own daughter! ”

And that Li Da pulled the palace to their grain tank, took the cylinder head, and there was only a thin layer of surplus grain inside. He asks how Hongu will feed the child? He said that if it weren't for the slightest way, the dog wouldn't have planted the land of Master Joan's house, hehe! ”

"And this is not an exception in Lijia Village! It's not just Lao Litou's family who does this, you can go to Lijia Village and see how many girls there are in their village? ”

"This palace also believed your words, thinking that the people really lived and worked in peace and contentment, and really missed the emperor's grace. When Bengong first went to Lijia Village, he asked them, are you happy? Do you know what they said to Hongu? Their answer was: Happy chicken! ”

"Huh! This is what you say about the Emperor's grace? Is this the edification of your mouths? You are all my Great Xia's humerus ministers! Who of you can tell this palace that you keep educating the people and educating all the people! ”

"Who can tell Hongu where your edification work is manifested? In which village can it be seen? And how do you educate the people? Is it just your words? ”

The prince's words were like a slap in the face, and they slapped Bachelor Qiong in the face.

Of course, it was not only Bachelor Qiong who smoked, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Especially those Wenchen!

Usually they like to talk about all kinds of benevolence and morality.

However, the more you shout, the harder you are pumped at the moment.
