government office.
King Qian summoned all the officials in the government office to discuss matters such as cleaning up hidden households in Lingnan, re-measurement of land, and registration.
Many of the original Yamen officials objected, but their opposition to this decree was useless, because Lingnan was under the jurisdiction of King Qian from the moment the old emperor issued the decree.
Everyone discussed for a few days and came up with a rough charter. King Qian then summoned all the gentry and powerful families in the area under his jurisdiction, and most importantly, those with fame and reputation, to be present.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Lingnan Prefecture was shaken.
The officials of the government office are more or less involved with various families, and some are even members of the family. A few days ago, when they were discussing the liquidation of hidden households and re-measurement of the land registration book, they heard the wind.
At that time, they didn't care about it. Everyone has been like this for thousands of years. Who would have believed that the idiot prince Qian would have such courage and really use Lingnan to do the surgery?
To the ancients, grain fields were the hardest real assets.
It is equivalent to the same reason that people in later generations care about whether they have a house, a car, or a deposit.
Now that King Qian is really planning to move their real estate, it is tantamount to cutting their flesh with a knife, so how can they not be in a hurry?
For this reason, after receiving the notice, the acquaintances began to discuss countermeasures in series to see how to deal with this policy of King Qian.
They have always believed that there are policies above and countermeasures below.
We all work together, and I believe we can always come up with a solution.
Not to mention, through everyone's unremitting efforts, these powerful gentry really made them think of a way.
Just a few days after King Qian sent out the notice, and before the gathering day, the archives of the government office caught fire.
Burn all the cabinets containing the account books of the farmland to clean.
Without the account book of the land, let's see how King Qian asked the officials below to clean up the hidden households, and how to re-measure the land?
Looking at the account books that were burned to nothing but a pile of black ashes, King Qian's face was even blacker than black ashes. When he first planned to implement this decree, he thought that there would be many obstacles in it. will make him wish.
It's just that he didn't expect the obstacles to come so strongly.
These people's unscrupulous provocations also just aroused the fighting spirit of his second generation ancestor.
Uncle Li Chengshang asked worriedly: "Father, what should we do?"
The account books were burned before the decree was implemented. Could it be that the third fire that Qian Wangfu came to Lingnan to burn ended without a problem like this?
"This king has never encountered such a disobedient person since he was born. Since they are afraid in their hearts that this king will clean up the hidden households and the fields will remake the book, then this king will not be as good as they want."
Speaking of this, King Qian glanced coldly at the officials present, "There is a lot of waste in Lingnan, it is imperative to re-measure the land, and re-register the fields!"
"If some people or forces want to use this lowly trick to make this king back down, then he really looks down on others, and he doesn't even know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
Hearing this, all the officials onlookers felt a little bit in their hearts. Could this be self-defeating?
King Qian glared at those officials who dared not look at him, some were guilty, some were anxious, some were even more indifferent, he snorted heavily and flung his sleeves away.
When such a big event happened, several masters and staff members of the palace hurriedly followed suit.
When King Qian entered the study room, he lost his temper again, spitting out fragrant words, and almost scolded all the gentry, powerful officials in Lingnan.
Several masters and staff members stood aside, silently enduring the torment of the magic sound, without saying a word.
"Go and check it out for the king!"
"This king wants to see who is in the yamen. If I let this king know who it is, I will definitely peel his skin, then confiscate his family and exterminate his family, and let everyone see the fate of betraying this king!"
Seeing that King Qian was tired of scolding, Mr. Zhang sat down to drink tea from a teacup, and he asked, "My lord, the account books of the fields have been destroyed, what should we do next?"
King Qian put down the teacup heavily after hearing this, and looked up at the people in the study room, his anger still lingering: "The account book is destroyed, we have the final say on how many fields they have, if you have any objections to the number of acres we gave, don't accept You can use the account books to confront. If you can’t produce the account books and want to make trouble, you will all be arrested and locked up.”
"What if we arrest people and they don't stop?" Mr. Zhang asked again.
Before the plan is implemented, imagine all the possibilities, so as not to be in a hurry and have nothing to do.
King Qian leaned back in his chair, the anger just now had almost subsided, and after listening to Mr. Zhang's questioning, he felt much calmer, "Our defense in Lingnan is not a decoration. When they were arrested, the yamen was not closed enough, so they were arrested and sent to the mines to do hard labor. I don’t believe that they all endured this hardship!”
Those in the study understood clearly, what the lord meant was that it is impossible to retreat, if the forces of all parties are ignorant, then they can only take tough measures.
just this
Mr. Yan took a step forward, clasped his hands and asked, "If the forces in south of the Five Ridges are forced to resist fiercely, and this matter spreads to the imperial court, and the imperial court criticizes it, will the prince have any countermeasures?"
In fact, Mr. Yan wants to ask more, will the prince be able to withstand the pressure of the court?
King Qian pursed his lips and said nothing. If this matter is done and introduced to the court, it will definitely not cause any disturbances, but if the officials force the people to rebel, the new emperor will definitely issue an order to reprimand him.
If the civil servants in the court came up with any ideas to embarrass him, they would be passive at that time.
Mr. Zhang asked everyone to sit down and discuss slowly, and then beckoned for the servants to serve tea to the masters.
The second master, Li Chengzhan, lifted the corner of his robe and sat down. He waited for the servant who served tea to leave the study, and then he said murderously: "Everything you think is possible. If some people are arrested and tortured to extract confessions, I won't let them go." I believe they can always grit their teeth and insist on not telling the truth. If we have the evidence and they continue to make trouble, then they will be punished as rebellion charges, and a group of them will be killed to see how dishonest they are!"
Mr. Zhang is speechless. If everything can be said with fists, then why is the court amending the law?
Hasn't this second master heard that where there is oppression, there is resistance.
How ruthless the suppression was before, how ruthless the resistance will be in the end!
Mr. Yan recovered from his contemplation, thought for a moment and said: "We raided the Lou family a few days ago, we can use the Lou family as a model in this incident, and redistribute the land seized by the Lou family according to the population of the hidden households. , so that the hidden households of other forces can see the actual benefits."
With practical interests, they are not afraid of hermits following in trouble.
The land reclamation of Xiaji Farm outside the city is in full swing, and the construction of houses has not stopped for a moment.
Mrs. Ding was mowing grass on the hillside with a group of women and children carrying a basket.
Ordinarily, her family is living a good life now. The second son Ding Dazhuang is the captain of the princess's personal guard, and the eldest son was hired by the princess as the shopkeeper of the salt shop, managing all the salt shops in Fucheng.
With two sons earning high salaries every month, how can she need a mother-in-law to go out to work?
Mrs. Dante is a restless woman. She didn't hear that the farm collected weeds and leaves for composting. A basket of fodder can be exchanged for five coppers. She immediately came out with the basket.
Taking advantage of the coolness of the early morning, when Xia Jing arrived at Xiaji Farm in a carriage, Mrs. Ding, the women and children had already cut a basket of fodder and returned.
A lot of pits were dug in the field to fertilize, and a lot of forage had been filled in the pits.
Standing by the pit, Xia Jing asked Zuo Jiuchuan, the steward of the farm, "Is this fat enough to use up the wasteland?"
"This amount of fertilizer is definitely not enough. For the small ones, the roots of trees and grass roots dug out from wasteland were dried and piled together, and the top was covered with soil and set on fire to burn a lot of fire fertilizer."
Zuo Jiuchuan is the younger uncle of Zuo Jing, the captain of the personal guard squadron. Because he is a good farmer at home, Xia Jing hired him as the manager of the farm.
The plant ash from the smoldering of the fire fertilizer he mentioned is black, and it is generally used as base fertilizer, that is, the base fertilizer before planting crops.
It can be seen that the fertility of this fire fertilizer should not be underestimated.
Xia Jing nodded: "As for farming, you know better than a layman like me. You can arrange the things in the farm. If the land reclamation is not finished at the time of summer planting, you can plant the opened wasteland with crops first. The wasteland under the land can be reclaimed during the slack season.”
Zuo Jiuchuan should come down, look at the fat pit, hesitated for a while, and reminded: "It's just that the fertilizer produced by a little leaves and weeds is limited, and the expected effect may not be achieved by then."
Xia Jing nodded, indicating that she knew.
Then she smiled and asked, "How is the stable that I asked you to build?"
"Basically completed, only the last thatched roof remains."
"Then let's go and have a look." Xia Jing said, then turned and walked to the breeding area.
The Grange residential area and the breeding area are separated, and the breeding area is built on the hillside to be closer to the field, which is entirely for the convenience of transporting fertilizers in the future.
The breeding area is further divided into several areas. Cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens and ducks are all divided into different areas to facilitate future cleaning and management.
Xia Jing turned around and finally stopped in front of the creek next to the breeding area.
The water quality of this creek is very clear. In the future, the livestock and poultry in the breeding area will completely depend on the water of this creek.
"It won't take a few days to build the roof. You can send people to the surrounding villages to buy piglets, chickens and ducks to raise them. When the breeding area is full, your fat pit will not be short of manure."
Zuo Jiuchuan explained with a smile: "Some time ago, the small one sent someone out to contact a batch of poultry and livestock. When the roof is finished, the small one will be sent over."
Xia Jing nodded with a smile, it is best for Zuo Jiuchuan to have rules in mind, lest she has to worry about everything.
At this time, there were no poultry and livestock in the farm, and there were no crops in the field. Xia Jing walked around casually, and after learning about the basic situation of the farm, she drove to the city in a carriage while the sun was not too strong.
As soon as I entered the city, I felt that the people seemed to be more energetic than before, gathering in small groups to discuss what?
Ye Fei followed beside the carriage and informed Xia Jing of his discovery.
Xia Jing released her psychic abilities, and after hearing clearly what the people were talking about, she sighed in her heart. How could any reform go smoothly, and the resistance from the outside world would be much greater than imagined.
For example, this time, the various forces in Lingnan really have the courage to break the boat.
They were ruthless and burned the account books directly. Without proof, they just wanted to see the joke of the palace.
It depends on the ability of your palace. If you don't have account books, how can you re-measure the land registration book?
They relied on the fluke mentality that the law does not blame the public, and the forces of all parties wanted to twist together so that the government could do nothing to them.
However, are the forces of all parties really unbreakable?
Xia Jing didn't think so!
Watching the fun is not too big a deal!
Both ends of the street at the entrance of the Fuya were surrounded by many spectators.
The personal guards rode their horses and swung their whips to drive them away, which was enough to make the people reluctantly give way.
Xia Jing's carriage was surrounded by personal guards and entered the rear office through the side door.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she heard the sound of sighing inside, pushed the door open, and went in, "What's the matter? Sigh, good luck is all sighed by you."
When Mr. Zhang saw Xia Jing who pushed the door and came in, he was shocked, and finally a master with a normal brain circuit came.
For example, King Qian and a few masters kept their mouths shut because they were tough with the forces in Lingnan, and they were killed if they refused to accept it.
It made Mr. Zhang's head hurt.
When King Qian saw Xia Jing coming in, his eyes also lit up, and finally someone came who could discuss and make up his mind.
"Where did the princess come from?"
Xia Jing took the main seat, snatched the fan from King Qian, and fanned herself, "I went to the farm today and just came back from outside the city."
King Qian personally poured a cup of tea for Xia Jing, and handed over his handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
Xia Jing pushed it away in disgust, took the wet handkerchief Hongmei handed over with her backhand, and wiped her face and hands.
Seeing her drinking a cup of tea, King Qian asked, "The concubine should already know what happened in the government office today, what do you think about it?"
Xia Jing didn't answer his question immediately, but instead asked them, "What's your idea? Have you discussed any rules?"
Mr. Zhang stood up, bowed his hands to Xia Jing, and then said everyone's opinions just now.
Finally asked: "Wangfei thinks Mr. Yan's method is feasible?"
Xia Jing nodded, "That's right, it's equivalent to directly buying the support of hermits and ordinary people, but the forces in Lingnan still won't compromise."
King Qian nodded his head, "My concubine is right. This king said that it is not feasible to directly distribute the land to hermit households. At most, they can rent the land for farming. When it comes to the autumn harvest, the palace will only charge half of what they usually give to the powerful renters."
Paying half the rent less than usual is already a huge temptation for hermits.
Xia Jing never thought that King Qian would be so stingy and value money so much.
It is more difficult for outsiders to get some money and food from him than to go to heaven.
Thinking about it this way, the last time he presented the house as a gift, it seemed that he had made a lot of determination.
Mr. Zhang glanced helplessly at King Qian, then turned to Xia Jing and asked, "Is there any good way for the princess to carry out this decree?"
Xia Jing glanced at Hongmei.
Hongmei understood, walked to the door and opened the study.
After a while, Xia Jing's personal guard came in carrying boxes of wooden boxes.
Except for the people brought by Xia Jing, everyone inside had doubts on their faces.
"Princess, this is you." King Qian pointed to the wooden box, where did he get the money?
Xia Jing raised her chin, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself."
King Qian stood up and walked slowly to the box, looked at Xia Jing again, hesitated for a while before opening the lid.
Out of curiosity, the two gentlemen and several masters surrounded him.
The books in the box were neatly arranged.
King Qian was overjoyed, and immediately pulled out a copy, "Is this the backup account book?"
If it is a backup account book, then they will have a basis for law enforcement, and those tyrants who dare to be arrogant in front of him can deal with them.
The two gentlemen also took out a copy, and Mr. Zhang couldn't wait to flip through it. The more he read, the more excited he became.
This provoked Li Chengshang next to him to ask: "Sir, is this a backup account book?"
Hearing Li Chengshang's question, Mr. Zhang didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "No, this is the tax details of all parties in Lingnan."
Li Cheng still didn't understand why, so he said displeasedly: "It's just a tax statement, why are you so excited?"
Mr. Zhang ignored Li Chengshang, but bowed to Xia Jing, "My concubine's method is really ingenious, and this immediately broke the situation set up by all forces."
"What method?" King Qian flipped through the account book, then threw the account book back into the box.
"Haha." Mr. Zhang grinned from ear to ear. Finally, he explained: "These tax account books show the taxes paid by various forces over the years. When we re-measure the land, we It happens that the land ownership can be implemented according to this tax index.”
King Qian wanted to pat his thigh excitedly, "So, those tyrants who evade taxes, I'm afraid this time they will be so angry that one Buddha will be born and two Buddhas will ascend to heaven!"
What is this called?
This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.
