The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters

As the saying goes, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Play is like life, so why take it seriously?

On this day, Cheng Yu held a big banquet in the governor's mansion to entertain representatives of gentry and powerful people from all over the country who came from various counties.

These people have not been idle these days. They are all foxes for thousands of years. Who has no Taoist practice? These gentry and powerful men have shown their magical powers in the past few days, and have almost penetrated Cheng Yu's governor's mansion into a sieve.

It is also because of this that no one has known that except for Cheng Yu and the other three and Guo Jin’s few guards, the Qingtian work team has been in Yanzhou for many days.

Speaking of which, Yanzhou is actually eight counties and eighty-one counties, but because nine counties are in Hebei, they have already completed the clearing of fields under Ma Qiang's rule. Therefore, this time the remaining 72 counties are powerful and powerful. There are two or three hundred people sitting in the same hall, each with a small table, filling the entire hall with a full load.

Although there are only two or three hundred people, the two or three hundred families behind these people almost occupy more than 60% of the official positions and more than 70% of the land in Yanzhou.

After all, in this era, only people from these big families could read and become officials.

"Mr. Tian, ​​do you think the envoy Cheng will ask us to take out some land to deal with the general?"

Before Cheng Yu came, the tables were whispering, discussing Qingtian.

“To my opinion?

Haha, you must take out a little of this field, otherwise how could the gentry in Hebei convince? Since ancient times, there have been no worries about inequality!

But how to get this is something worth discussing. Isn’t it that if I share the fields with my nephews?”

"Oh, this is not good. If any room is jealous and easily arouses the Xiao Wall, I think it's better not to divide it into a single acre.

Alas, when I came out, I went to the tenants' houses of our house and asked questions. As soon as I said I wanted to drive them out and let them be self-cultivated farmers, they knelt on the ground and cried on the spot. People really think it's good to be tenants for us, and you general must also worry about this overwhelming public opinion!"

"What you said is reasonable!"

"The same is true for our family. Whenever we ask whoever left the manor, the one who cried was like a dead father and mother, a bunch of bad bones!!"

"I heard that in the past, Nuwa created humans, some of them were pinched with her hands, and some of them were thrown out with willow branches dipped in mud and water.

It can be seen that this person is noble and cheap in the roots. Some should study and become officials, while others should farm and work.

If you let them not farm and work, he will feel uncomfortable all over!

Last time, I told our tenants that the situation is unclear now, and the work in the manor is stopped for a while. The next day, someone was trolling at the door to do work for our family. Do less work, they can't do it!"

"You still let them start work in this situation? Mr. Yang, you are such a great charity!"

Just as they were talking about the excitement, suddenly a group of people walked in, and then one of them shouted, "Envoy Cheng, Guo Jun is here!"

Everyone stood up and watched Cheng Yu and Guo Jin walk into the lobby together. Guo Jin was wearing military uniforms and had a grim face. However, Cheng Yu was full of spring breeze, which was very different from usual.

"Did you see it? It's different to be a governor."

"If you feel happy when you have happy events, it's a good thing for Cheng Jun to be in a good mood."

"That's right, he's in a good mood and he's easier to say a lot of things."

Cheng Yu and Guo Jin came to the top, and then bowed to the lower side and said, "You are here to gather here for the stability of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of Yanzhou. Come, let us drink a drink together! I wish the emperor good health and the general for thousands of years!"

How good is the emperor? The general has been for thousands of years?

If the general can really live for ten thousand years, will the emperor still be healthy?

Many people feel funny in their hearts and still respond.

Cheng Yu put down the lacquer bowl and asked someone to start serving dishes and singing and dancing. The singing and dancing team was still left by Cao Cao. Many of them were singers and dancers in the palace in the past, and their business abilities were quite good. The powerful people in these places shook their heads and looked obsessed.

Taking advantage of this gap, Guo Jin left for a while with excuse, and when he came back, he looked at Cheng Yu, indicating that everything was under control.

Since everything is under control, the play is almost done.

"Okay, stop singing and dancing, and all go back!"

Cheng Yu waved his hand and asked the song and Wu to retreat, and everyone also put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, knowing that they were going to talk about the serious business.

"You are here this time, and you are doing the Qingtian business.

The general's document has arrived, and the meaning is very simple. My Qingtian in Yanzhou is on the string and I have to send it!"

As soon as Cheng Yu's tone was released, there was an uproar below.

"What? Or should I clear the fields?"

"Hey, I said before that Qingtian cannot be avoided, the key is how to clear it!"

"Yes, as long as the method is appropriate, this field is not unclearable!"

"Eunuch Cheng, don't know what the details of Qingtian are?"

Looking at the people below who were like a vegetable market, Cheng Yu couldn't help but look disdainful.

That's it?

With such performance, what qualifications are there to become my great Han gentry and lead my great Han to go further?

These wastes are not to be cherished!

No! It’s a waste to die directly. You should scrape all the meat off as jerky to be worthy of their fat body!

"Silent!!" the soldier beside him shouted loudly, which slowly calmed down.

Cheng Yu continued to smile and said, "But don't worry, I, Cheng Yu, are from our Yanzhou, and I will not forget my roots. Therefore, I have won the opportunity for my Yanzhou from the general to be exempted from clearing the fields!"

"Oh, Cheng Jun is worthy of being the parent official of my Yanzhou! It's true that I think about our Yanzhou!"

"What am I talking about? The key is to see how to clear the fields!"

"Can you not clear the fields? As long as you can clear the fields, let me be an official for Ma Ziyu!"

"Silent!!!" the sergeant next to him couldn't help shouting again.

The noise below Cheng Yu and the others were a little quieter and continued, "Then let me talk about the details of Qingtian next, which is actually very simple.

After ten years of pursuit, the land that pays taxes on time will continue to be retained within the past ten years. If the taxes are not paid on time, the general will be kind to you, and the accumulated late payment fee can be accumulated at three-thousandths of the daily interest. If you pay it in full, you can continue to be retained.

If you have not paid the tax and are unwilling to make up for it.

Haha, it will be confiscated as state-owned and will be distributed to landless people in the future by the court!

The above tax payments must be paid within ten days of the date of publication of the announcement. If the tax payment is not paid on time, it will also be included in the clearing area.

Do you understand?"
Chapter completed!
