Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"It would be better to celebrate the old gentleman's centenary,"

"Then the descendants will escort the coffin back to the hometown for burial?"

These words nearly made Jia Yijian's lungs explode with anger.

He wanted to return to his hometown alive to retrieve his family property.

Instead of lying in a coffin and returning to his hometown for burial!

"We beg the magistrate to make this decision!"

Jia Yijian bowed again.

Wang Dalin said with difficulty, "The decision to relocate large clans was made by the ministers in the court."

"How could I, a mere county magistrate, possibly make such a change?"

"You have already registered yourselves in Feixiang,"

"Descendants shall not migrate again within thirty years."

"To return to one's hometown, one must obtain the Minister of Revenue's permission,"

"Why don't you write a letter to the Ministry of Revenue, sir?"

Jia Yijian finally lost his temper.

Pointing at Wang Dalin with his cane:

"The Jia family will be truly established, and officials will be distinguished from generation to generation."

"His relatives by marriage are spread throughout the land, and his descendants are numerous and talented."

"You're just a lowly county magistrate,"

"How dare they insult the Jia family!"

Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?

Wang Dalin was also furious, slamming his fist on the table and saying:

"Your Jia family held prominent official positions during the Song Dynasty,"

"But I am a county magistrate of the new Ming Dynasty,"

"Stop flaunting the wealth and power of the previous dynasty."

"Dare to roar in court again!"

"Then fork him out!"

The two sides broke up unhappy.

Wang Dalin also came from a prominent family in the south.

He originally sympathized with Jia.

However, the separation of large migrating clans was a central government decree.

How could he possibly help Jia return to her hometown?

He went to submit a memorial to the court requesting that the Ministry of Revenue change its policies frequently.

In the following year,

The Jia clan members who were separated and relocated to various places

They began communicating and connecting with each other.

He also sent people to Kaifeng to beg old friends for help.

But it was completely useless.

This matter requires the signature and seal of Qian Chen, the Minister of Revenue!

.....

There are quite a few similar families.

The Jia family was the most powerful.

Precisely because of its power,

They were targeted by the imperial court.

Smaller families are more likely to return to their hometowns on their own.

Zhao Yuan said to Zong Ze, "In many property dispute cases,"

"We should lean more towards the families who fled south."

"They understand the greater good of the nation and its people,"

"Unwilling to submit to the Jurchen barbarians,"

"But because the whole family fled south to the Ming Dynasty,"

"The families who invested in the gold seized the property."

"This is unreasonable,"

"We can't let them suffer!"

"Yes."

Zong Ze didn't care about this.

Although his family has been a scholarly family for generations

But they are still a long way from becoming a major clan.

The Zong family originated from Nanyang.

During the Five Dynasties period, they moved to the south of the Yangtze River.

Because they couldn't bear the exorbitant taxes and levies.

The whole family then moved to the mountainous area of ​​Yiwu.

They struggled to survive and reproduce by clearing wasteland and farming.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty,

The tax burden has been slightly reduced.

Only then did the Zong family move out of the mountains.

But they are still a family from a small rural town.

Moreover, after more than a hundred years of reproduction...

With limited land and a large population, the family's livelihood was difficult to sustain.

Zongze's father then led another group of his clansmen to migrate.

Chapter 299 The Shameless Clan

Zhao Yuan said, "Regardless of whether they are powerful clans that invest in gold,"

"Or perhaps they are prominent families who returned to their hometowns to submit to the Ming dynasty,"

"Everything is based on the land deed."

"He can't produce the land deeds,"

"All farmland will be confiscated and distributed to displaced people and tenant farmers."

"Hebei soldiers and anti-Jin volunteers,"

"Unclaimed fertile land should be allocated to us first!"

"Yes." Zong Ze noted it down.

Zhao Yuan continued, "If the clan exceeds three hundred members, they will not separate into separate families."

"They were ordered to immediately divide the property and separate the households."

"The clan has over five hundred members and hasn't yet separated into different households,"

"Forcibly splitting up and relocating them elsewhere."

"Taking advantage of the fact that the war has just ended,"

"We need to act swiftly and decisively to suppress them!"

Zong Ze cautioned, "Your Highness, this is a very difficult matter."

"Local powerful clans will surely unite with officials to defy orders."

"They dare not openly defy them,"

"But they can outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying,"

“The county magistrate and the registrar can be deceived if they are not careful.”

"If the county magistrate or registrar is incompetent,"

"Even government orders can't leave the county seat."

Zhao Yuan said, "Then issue an order to the officials in each county."

"If they can't control the local powerful clans,"

"We can request that troops be transferred to handle this matter."

“I will give each county three hundred soldiers.”

“I don’t think they are incompetent,”

"If things are done well,"

"On the contrary, they will be rewarded!"

"Yes!"

Zong Ze sighed inwardly.

The disobedient powerful families of Hebei are going to suffer.

Your Majesty actually mobilized the army directly.

Hebei was in a state of chaos.

Each county is in dire need of reconstruction.

This is a good opportunity to implement the system of merging land tax and poll tax.

Zong Ze, as the Left Provincial Administration Commissioner of Hebei,

A few days ago, we finally moved the provincial capital to Zhengding.

The Right Provincial Governor is in charge of the relocation of the provincial capital.

Before spring,

All officials were able to be on duty.

Your Majesty's visit,

It was located in the palace of the puppet dynasty.

Provincial Administration Office

The residence of the Grand Chancellor was located in the pseudo-dynasty.

Zong Ze returned to the Provincial Administration Office by car.

Dong Ti had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"go in."

Zong Ze said irritably.

Dong Ti quickly lowered his head and followed.

They entered the Provincial Administration Office together.
