Chapter 852(1/2)
When the people heard that they were recruiting laborers, they had a try-and-see attitude.
Run from the yamen to Niutu Town to take a look.
Although I knew there was hot soup here, no one would go to Mu. After all, my stomach would be so hungry behind him.
"Sir, are all the people who have sued for lawsuits outside?" the yamen runner reported.
Li Chao opened his eyes from his sleep. In the yamen, the couple had just been quarreled and disappeared.
The people who were waiting for complaints outside the Yatang also disappeared out of thin air.
"Where are people?"
Li Chao said to himself.
The yamen runners next to him hurriedly approached with a smile on his face: "Someone came to recruit the powerful soldiers just now, and the eight-cent silver pattern was gone in one day."
Li Chao rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth with a vine branch, spit out water with a thud, and choked a few times.
"Tang Chi came to call me?"
"Yes, Master, now the people are not here to cause trouble. It's so good that the world is peaceful!" The county magistrate stood beside him with a smile in a wide-sleeved brown robe.
"What a f*ck!"
Li Chao was so scared that he even fell off the porcelain bowl. Could it be that the new emperor wanted to build a Huaqing Palace in Gu'an?
The emperor was addicted to wine and sex, so he wrote a memorial to attract Zhu Houzhao, which was a sinner forever.
Thinking of this, Li Chao felt that he had led a wolf into the house.
The county magistrate looked at Li Chao in surprise, as if he wanted to confirm whether Lord Li was sick. At this time, a small eunuch and two Jinyiwei walked in outside the door.
"Mr. Li received the order!"
Li Chao was an official, and he spoke with a scholar's elegance and easy-going manner. He knelt down with a serious face, "My minister, Li Chao, accept the order."
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said, "I am happy and comfortable in Tangchi. The county yamen will also bring Tangchi to Tangchi, I will be here."
Is this an imperial edict?
Li Chao looked up and blinked: "It's gone?"
Little eunuch: "It's gone."
The county magistrate and the yamen runners secretly complained that it was the first time that such an uneducated imperial edict was received.
The little eunuch looked at them like a fool: "This is a vernacular imperial edict."
The cold wind was gentle, and Li Chao felt heavy after receiving the imperial edict and couldn't help but go to Tangchi to take a look.
Unlike the previous few days, there were two huge stones standing in Tangchi, with big red characters on it:
Gu'an Tangchi is the best in the world!
Signature, Zhu Houqiu.
It is very prudent for the emperor to give ink treasures.
But on the several big rocks behind, I saw Zhu Youting, Li Dongyang, Jiang Mian, Zhang Sheng and others in a row, as if they were celebrating the opening of the flower basket.
Li Chao's flesh on his face shook, "I dare to ask the new emperor, when will the Supreme Emperor come to write an inscription? Why don't I know?"
"That's what they think."
"..." Li Chao.
Anyway, he would not blame him for using the name of the Supreme Emperor and the Dukes.
He sighed lightly and walked a few steps forward. Li Chao realized something. Suddenly, he saw the yamen's official case and the drum of injustice brought to Tangchi.
...
Fengtian Palace,
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi held the porcelain bowl and grabbed a handful of pickled cabbage on it, "What's going on in Gu'an?"
"The new emperor wrote inscriptions for you and the Lords. Now that the rural road has not been built, many gentry have gone to waste their lives. I heard that they will be recruited to recruit 80% silver in one day."
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stagnant.
Yan Chengjin asked how he was going to waste. He guessed that he could write the inscription, but this method could never relieve the people's poverty. He could not take away the fields in Gu'an.
After spooned two bites of porridge, he came to Fengtian Hall to pay court.
"Why does Yan Qing's family sell hot soup to relieve difficulties? Is it because thousands of miles of fertile land and will be idle?"
Yan Chengjin nodded meaningfully, which made the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi a little embarrassed.
"I am still investigating this matter, and maybe it cannot be resolved."
It will take some time for him to involve tenants all over the world, and he may not be able to come up with a countermeasure.
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and heard that the incident had a deep meaning, and as usual, he fell into deep thought.
Jiang Mian turned his head in surprise and looked at Yan Chengjin without saying much.
"Brother Binzhi, you son-in-law are going to make trouble again." Jiang Mian murmured in a low voice.
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Jiang Mian almost the first time, "What does Jiang Qing's family mean?"
"This... Lord Yan, or my official?"
Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and said, "The tenant's land was rented from the landlord. When it comes to disaster relief, the relief silver will be distributed to the landlord. The more disasters a year, the richer the landlord will be."
The landlord is a gentry.
During the disaster year, they could receive two portions of money, one was the rent paid by the tenants and the other was the relief silver issued by the court.
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi remained motionless, which was a very serious expression.
"The pond is open and is idle and fertile, and this is why the tenants cannot receive silver during the disaster year."
Li Dongyang said: "During the time of Emperor Yingzong, the court ordered the law that the rent could only be 30% of the price of land acres, but the gentry saw this and stopped renting it."
The court has policies, and gentry also has countermeasures.
If you limit the rent, I will not rent it out. In the end, the tenants will suffer.
So, this law was abolished soon.
Yan Chengjin said that it was impossible to solve it, and it was here that although the law could stipulate rent, the gentry would not rent it anymore, so what could you do?
Just like in the previous life, a certain egg's rental plan...
The new policy of paying a premium was targeted at farmers.
But farmers are different from tenants.
Farmers have land, while tenants have no land, so they rely on renting the land of gentry.
Many people in the world are tenants.
When I returned to the Censorate, I read the laws of the past years. As Li Dongyang said, during the reign of Emperor Yingzong, I had controlled the tenants' rented land.
But these landlords raised their rents while raising their rents and lent lenders at the same time.
Cut two cuts of a leek at the same time.
It is the originator of leek cutting.
I waited until the next time and came out of the Meridian Gate. Even though it was November, the evening wind still made people feel chilly.
"Sir...Sir!"
A crying sound broke the calm.
Yan Chengjin lifted the curtain slightly and saw more than a dozen gentry kneeling in front of the sedan chair, holding silver notes in his hands.
He Neng came over with a smile and reported: "Young master, they said they were all Shanxi merchants and wanted to give away silver."
"Sir... Please don't make things difficult for me."
Hu Changyue took the lead in speaking, and Yan Chengjin made the Hui merchants in Jiangnan have left their homes alone. A few days ago, he heard that it was their turn now, so he was so scared that he came from Shanxi.
"You are the only ones in Shanxi merchants?"
"Sir, we received the message first."
"You are a contribution to taxation. You are not going to be tidying up your affairs in Gu'an. You are too careful."
Yan Chengjin was thinking about whether to start these Shanxi merchants first, or to gather together?
Shanxi merchants must weaken and collapse.
The court cannot allow merchants to gather too much money. Once monopolized, they will completely control the economy.
In the last life, it is said that ***...
Cixi also borrowed money from Shanxi merchants. It can be seen that the one that should be the most guarded among the three major merchant gangs should be Shanxi merchants.
Back in the study, I thought about it all night.
The three major merchant gangs have their own characteristics, and Shanxi merchants are enclosing land and occupying a lot of land.
To be continued...
