Chapter 174
After receiving the imperial edict last night, Zhang Xian was so excited that he had not slept all night. He was afraid that the fields would be hidden, so he took the yamen runners to measure the fields of the Zhang brothers and Zhou Yu.
But after the measurement, Zhang Xian was worried. There were 2,200 acres in total, and how to divide the 30,000 refugees.
When he saw Yan Chengjin, he asked quickly: "Sir, the land is coming back, but how should we divide the tens of thousands of refugees?"
“How many acres are there?”
"Two thousand two hundred acres."
Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment, and the uneven distribution of land was a refugee, and the 2,200 acres were too few for tens of thousands of refugees.
Not to mention the indigenous people who have no land in good towns.
"Even if the fields are distributed, the price of farm tools is a considerable burden for refugees."
Zhang Xian nodded: "After the farm tools are solved, there will be plowing oxen."
After the Great Cold, the number of plowing oxen dropped sharply, and the breeding plowing oxen was still in the stomach and could not be born until about October.
Plowing ox is a big problem.
"What other land you have dedicated in Liangxiang? Draw it on the fish scale album and hand it over to me to make up for it." Yan Chengjin said.
Zhang Xian drew all the land he had given to Yan Chengjin.
Lord Yan is the censor. If it were him, he would definitely be able to convey it to His Majesty.
Yan Chengjin returned to the mansion and asked Wang Yue and Mou Bin to investigate for two days. After verification, he wrote a memorial of impeachment and sent it to the palace.
Fengtian Palace,
There was a memorial on the Yuzhen paper. Emperor Hongzhi looked at it and said that he was impeached and offered his consecrated again. He was heartbroken: "Even the son-in-law Cai Zhen is among them."
Li Dongyang frowned: "Your Majesty said, is it a matter of Liangxiang's contribution?"
Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, lowered his head and felt a little nervous.
The land he gave in Liangxiang was the income he had given. When he heard that Ning Shouhou and Changning Bo were forced to be sceptered, he guessed that something was going to happen.
"Yan Chengjin impeached the son-in-law, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Works, the Chief Clerk of the Ministry of Revenue, I will not read the name, I will give you some shame." Emperor Hongzhi threw the imperial case.
That cautious censor?
"I have some land in Liangxiang, and I wish to dedicate it to Liangxiang!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Fu Han and several officials knelt down quickly, and there was still some room for mercy at this time. They asked the factory guards to investigate. Can this golden pheasant robe be kept?
To avoid the big strife investigation, Emperor Hongzhi didn't care: "You are so generous, then I will be sure."
...
Liangxiang,
Zhang Xian received the second imperial edict since his life, and was so grateful that he kowtowed six times in the direction of the capital.
There are three for His Majesty, and three for Yan Chengjin.
"Your Majesty returned the land he had offered to Liangxiang, and returned a total of 5,600 acres of fertile land, so that it would be easier to divide it."
Zhang Xiang ordered people to post a bill to announce the imperial decree to the world.
The refugees heard that the magistrate wanted to divide the land for them, and they widened their eyes as if a pie fell from the sky.
"Mr. Zhang wants to divide us into the fields?"
"Don't have money?"
In the Liangxiang Workshop, the refugees were having a lot of chatting.
The land is still in a good town, but it is only cultivated by refugees.
Each household didn't get much land, but the land that was free was not worth the money, so what else could I say? The refugees in the straw hut knelt in front of the yamen and couldn't get up for half a day.
"It is the kindness of the court and an adult who is inconvenient to name it. You don't have to kneel down to my official position."
Zhang Xian sent someone to measure each household and outline a new fish scale album, which took a lot of time.
I planted grain in the fields, but I didn’t share it for a while and didn’t delay the cultivation.
Fengtian Palace,
"Prepare, I'm going to leave the palace."
Emperor Hongzhi heard Mou Bin say that Liangxiang divided the land, put on casual clothes, and prepared to leave the palace.
Xiao Jingxue Yan Chengjin's sedan chair and installed an ice cream for Emperor Hongzhi's sedan chair. This time, Emperor Hongzhi's sedan chair would also pee.
Cabinet colleagues.
Li Dongyang also had an Ice Gun in his sedan chair. Liu Jian and Xie Qian were wearing round neck robes, so hot that they couldn't help but untied their clothes.
When I arrived next to the big stone, the sedan chair stopped.
Everyone took a break.
"Master Liu and Master Xie have tolerated it again. There is a tea shop in front of you. When you drink a donkey tea, you will be Liangxiang not far away." Emperor Hongzhi shook his finger.
Liu Jian was surprised: "Have you passed by Your Majesty?"
Emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly.
Your Majesty will be impeached by the censors when he frequently leaves the palace. Li Dongyang changed the topic: "The foolish brother has an ice clerk on his sedan chair, so I will give you one to Liu Gong and Yu Qiao to take the heat."
A piece of ice walked to Liangxiang and almost completely transformed.
There are vendors selling ice in Liangxiang County, so you can buy it again when you return.
After getting up the sedan chair and walking for a short period, Emperor Hongzhi found that a new inn was built next to the tea shop. When he arrived at the tea shop, he took a few sips and continued on his way.
When he arrived in Liangxiang, Emperor Hongzhi was familiar with the road and came to Liangxiang Yamen.
But I saw refugees kneeling down at the gate of the yamen.
"What's going on? But the land is unfair?"
Mou Bin quickly called Zhang Xian.
After a while, I was in an inn in Liangxiang County.
Zhang Xian knelt on the ground: "My memory, Zhang Xian, has seen Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Why are the refugees kneeling in front of the yamen?"
"The court has distributed the fields. They thanked His Majesty for his kindness. I have advised me to kneel down and go back in one day."
...Tearing my holy grace? When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he smiled with relief: "Have you finished it?"
"It's not yet. We need to check the number of households in Liang Township, remeasure the land, and make a new fish scale picture album. It's not easy to complex." Zhang Xian said gratefully.
Emperor Hongzhi turned his eyes to Li Dongyang and the other two again: "How about letting the factory guards help?"
Li Dongyang shook his head: "Your Majesty cannot. If you use the factory guards and make great moves, it is better to let Shuntian Prefecture and the Five City Military Command come to help."
"Um."
Zhang Xian was overjoyed: "I have another matter to report."
"Tell me."
"I want to implement the tax on taxes in Liangxiang and abolish the old land-making tax." Zhang Xian was a little nervous.
Abolish the old land-based tax?
Liu Jian and Xie Qian widened their eyes. Liangxiang has not long been implementing the new tax. Now they are going to implement the new land tax. What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?
Li Dongyang fell into deep thought, and he did not deny it first, "What does it mean to spend acres of money?"
"The silver in the land tax is collected. No matter how much the population of a household is, there is no tax. Now there are more refugees and fewer land, so there is no way to go, so this is the worst."
Eighty-mostly it was not what Zhang Xianneng thought of. Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes: "Is it Yan Chengjin's idea?"
"yes!"
Zhang Xian blushed to his ears.
"Can he be in Liangxiang? Ask him to see me!"
Yan Chengjin has no residence in Liangxiang, but has a place to stay next to Shuntian Prefecture's yamen, because it is the safest place here.
Zhu Houzhao came to Liangxiang Taobao.
More and more merchants came to Liangxiang to pick goods, and at the same time brought foreign goods. Hawkers often fooled him. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao didn't have much money and was cheated once a day at most.
"I just saw a short knife, made by the Western Regions, and it was extremely sharp."
"Your Highness wants to buy it, but he is very worried about it. He doesn't like to play with guns and sticks."
Zhu Houzhao smiled indifferently: "I want to borrow some money from you."
"I never bring money when I go out."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned: "Why?"
"I'm afraid that your highness will borrow money from me."
What if Yang Yanhe doesn't like and stabs him to death with one knife, wouldn't he use a knife to kill someone? Yan Chengjin dared not lend it to him.
At this moment, Zhang Xian took Mou Bin to walk in quickly: "Your Majesty summons you."
Your Majesty is coming to Liangxiang again? Yan Chengjin frowned: "Your Highness won't go?"
