Chapter 141: Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed

Do King Zhou and King Lu dare to jump with Gao Pragmatic?

The answer is definitely not daring, at least in the matter of deducting their two one-year Zonglu and "giving money", these two princes must not dare to do anything, let alone improve the pragmatism Here is still a special reference - probably that is: There is a kind of rebellion to show me?

Rebel?

There are only about 500 guards in these two princes' mansions, and the level is the level of "inland guards", what kind of rebellion? Not to mention that Gao Shishi is too lazy to take a look at this point, even if the local general army does not have to come forward, the next order of the military preparation road in the jurisdiction can be easily handled.

Therefore, as long as these two are not old birthday stars who eat arsenic - they are impatient to live, then they will definitely not dare to jump their feet, so they can only endure it.

As for saying that the dignified prince was bullied by officials...... Well, isn't that a common thing? This is no ordinary official, this is a ministry! It is the most powerful high ministry hall of the Holy Family!

What did Zhang Juzheng's family bully King Liao, is there anything wrong? No! In the original history, if Zhang Juzheng hadn't been liquidated by Zhu Yijun after his death, the King of Liao wouldn't have even made a splash. In this life, Zhang Juzheng still got rid of the King of Liao, and because Gao Gong was in power, Gao Pragmatic advocated letting Zhang Juzheng go, and as a result, no one has overturned the case of King Liao.

Of course, the King of Liao himself was not wronged, he was innocent of death. It's just that Zhang Juzheng earned a magnificent palace as his own mansion in it, which is pure earning - Gao Zheng also went to Zhang's mansion on the way south to Guangxi, and that mansion was the Liaowang Mansion in the past.

Speaking of this brother of the King of Liao, it is really hard to cry and laugh, he has not done anything serious for decades, from four to forty years old, except for playing, there is no pursuit.

When he was a child, he liked to play and killed Zhang Juzheng's grandfather. Later, when I got older, I still played, anyway, the family has money, and I can play how I like!

However, the time to finish the game still came.

For a long time, Zhang Juzheng has not forgotten the scene when his grandfather was killed thirty years ago. A gentleman's revenge, let alone ten years, for Zhang Juzheng, even thirty years is not too late.

At that time, it was only the second year of Longqing, and Gao Gong was still idle at home and had never recovered. Zhang Juzheng was only third in the cabinet at that time, but to deal with the King of Liao, it was more than enough.

So under his hint, soon the Huguang Patrol Imperial History and various imperial histories of the court and the central government suddenly broke out and jointly impeached the King of Liao. Brother Liao has been playing for so many years, and it is naturally not difficult to find all kinds of crimes, so a bunch of black materials were reported to the emperor.

Although Mu Zong Longqing has never treated the vassal king very well, he is also his own brother, and he heard that this person is not authentic, so he has to investigate it, so he sent the criminal department servant Hong Chaoxuan to investigate the matter.

Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to instruct the Hong Dynasty to elect the Liao King on a large number of charges, including rebellion. However, Hong Chaoxuan refused to attach Zhang Juzheng's intention of "plotting rebellion" to the Liao king, and sternly refused to sign the case of being trained and imprisoned. He investigated according to the facts, and finally reinstated his life with "** is true, there is no basis for rebellion", "the law can be correct, and the country cannot be removed". This incident angered Zhang Juzheng, and later Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity of Jingcha to dismiss Hong Chaoxuan and return to Li - this is only a passing mention.

Since this sentence was mentioned in passing, it is simply mentioned in passing: The Huguang Governor at the time of the outbreak of the Liao Wang case was none other than Gao Guangxian, the governor of the three sides at the time of the outbreak of the Northwest Rebellion.

Gao Guangxian was close to Gao Gong at that time, but Gao Gong was forced to retreat by Xu Jie at that time and lived in his hometown Xinzheng. Gao Guangxian was just a patrol of the imperial history, and there was no other backer in the court, considering that Zhang Juzheng had always been a close friend of Gao Gong, so he listened to his orders.

By the way, Hong Chaoxuan's refusal to attach Zhang Juzheng still has some details. At that time, Hong Chaoxuan was the main envoy, and there was also a deputy envoy named Shi Duchen. The two of them went to Jiangling together for verification, and this Shi Duchen was Zhang Juzheng's person.

Shi Duchen came to Jiangling and forged a letter between Zhu Xian, the king of Liao, and Hong Chaoxuan, in order to blackmail Zhu Xian. Zhu Xian had never suffered this kind of grievance in his life, so he directly chose to resist.

However, the way this prince resisted was a bit special, he put up a big white flag and wrote "Litigation and Grievances". Seeing this, Shi Duchen didn't know whether he really didn't see it clearly or deliberately didn't see it clearly, anyway, he exclaimed on the spot: "The King of Liao has rebelled!" So he took five hundred men and surrounded the king's house.

The King of Liao, a gentleman, did not really intend to rebel, so he could only be captured on the spot, and there was nothing to say about this process.

After returning to the imperial court, Shi Duchen wanted to prosecute Zhu Xian for the crime of treason according to Zhang Juzheng's instructions, but Hong Chaoxuan resolutely opposed it, as I just said. Due to the insistence of Hong Chaoxuan, Zhu Xian, the king of Liao, escaped death and was deposed as a concubine and imprisoned in Fengyang.

As I said before, the King of Liao's case is that Zhang Juzheng wants to take revenge, and the other is that he has fallen in love with the Liao Wangfu, but the King of Liao himself is not wronged, and there are many conclusive evidences of this crime.

This guy can casually catch someone and kill a drunk man on the street; The woman you fancy is all ** regardless of your identity; incest with clan women; arrogance, construction of palaces, and so on. In short, it is more than innocent to die.

However, the problem is that although the King of Liao is considered a scum even in the prince, the prince who is better than him is actually not much better.

The reigning king of Zhou is called Zhu Suqin, he usually has no notoriety, and he also has no reputation, according to Gao Shi's consistent understanding, this kind of prince is just no one to check, and his butt must be unclean when he checks it.

King Lu has some good reputation, but to be honest, King Lu's mansion has been in Shandong for two hundred years, and there are thousands of stores, so he took out hundreds of acres of land and distributed it to the poor. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes?

If you have to say that he is special, it is probably more that he will get the name of a virtuous king for himself, so as not to be remembered by the court and suffer any unjustified disasters. is still the same sentence, Gao Pragmatic believes that these palaces are all safe and sound without investigation, and the whole army will be wiped out after one investigation.

After "settling" the affairs of King Zhou and King Lu, Gao Pragmatic talked about today's top priority.

"The two of you must have heard the wind last night, and the governors of the five prefectures visited the cold house at night." Gao pragmatically smiled: "They plan to send some money to the household department." ”

Jing Nan is almost a joint visit to Gao Shishi, who has stepped down as a Rong Zheng squire, this is the biggest news last night, as a household servant, Cheng Wen and Hu Zhili have of course heard of it. After all, if you can't even get such a big news in time, it's not easy to mix up in Beijing. It's just that Gao pragmatic's words made them stunned.

At present, the most mainstream speculation about this matter in Beijing is that Jingzhong Xungui is afraid of losing his backer, and most of them want to persuade Gao to stay in office, of course, this is very difficult, but there is also a way to turn around.

For example, Gao Pragmatic, as his predecessor, recommended a pragmatic official who could completely "follow the rules" to take up this position, which was also a reasonable and accommodating strategy, and it was extremely operable.

Who knew that Gao Pragmatic didn't mention this at all, but said that Jingying wanted to send money to the household department.

This is strange, it is normal for the household department to send money to the Beijing camp, how can there be a reason for the Beijing camp to send money to the household department? Even if the Beijing camp has been restructured now and the Production and Construction Corps is almost financially independent, at least their money is still issued by the Ministry of Households, so why is it their turn to send money to the Ministry of Households?

Cheng Wen couldn't help but ask, "What does Situ mean by this?" How long has it been since the Beijing camp was divided into two parts, and the production and construction corps will be able to feed back to the imperial court? ”

Yo, you're quite good at thinking about feeding back to the court? Look at those nobles, they have such patriotic sentiments?

"Not really." Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's just that I told them last night to hand over the financial affairs of the Production and Construction Corps to the household department for unified management." ”

Not to mention Cheng Wen, even Hu Zhili widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "The nobles agreed?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "Move with affection, know with reason, and the nobles are resting with the country, which is naturally reasonable." Their gross profit now is about 1.3 million taels per year, and after deducting the expenses of the Praetorian Guards and their own expenses, I expect that there will be 3.5 million taels left, and they can also do some things. ”

Cheng Wen was surprised: "There are so many? ”

Hu Zhili was another kind of surprise, he asked: "Even so, can they agree to hand over this surplus money to the household department for use?" ”

Gao pragmatically smiled: "It's not surprising that there are so many, the Production and Construction Corps has a large amount of real estate under the name of the previous five prefectures, and these fields were all military tuns in the past, and the extra idle land has no effect."

Nowadays, the Production and Construction Corps has cooperated with Jinghua to develop some of them, some of which are mines and timber production in the mountains, and some are used to build stops on the Senkan traffic arteries near the city or in good locations, and so on.

In addition, after being reorganized into the Production and Construction Corps, the previous military cantonment method has changed, and now they are practicing a set of methods based on the ideas provided by the headquarters, which is called the 'household responsibility contracting system'......"

Hu Zhili immediately asked: "What's going on with this method, Da Situ may explain it in detail?" ”

Gao Pragmatic was of course very familiar with this method as a grassroots cadre of the year. The household responsibility system is a form of responsibility system for agricultural production in which peasants take the family as a unit and contract land and other means of production and production tasks to the collective economic organizations -- the Red Dynasty is the village and group, and the production and construction corps is the guard and the institute -- the land and other production tasks.

Land is easy to understand, and "other means of production" are those agricultural tools owned by the health center, because according to the previous system, these farm tools belong to the health center, and do not belong to military households, so now they are also "contracted" nature.

However, since Gao Shi could not trust the integrity of the grassroots health center, the contract for these things was now directly free of charge, and the military households did not have to spend money for it, but only had to compensate for the damage of farm tools.

This compensation is also very interesting, Gao pragmatic is afraid that the grassroots health center will harm the military households, so they are not allowed to collect money, only the agricultural tools for compensation. He also considered that some unconscionable things might use these unqualified farm tools to embarrass military households, so he did not stop doing two things, and simply stipulated: As long as the farm tools are new farm tools produced by Jinghua and there are sales receipts presented by Jinghua, the grassroots health centers of the Production and Construction Corps shall not refuse to accept them, and if they violate them, they will report to the Corps.

There will definitely be no good end to the reported corps, everyone knows this, because everyone here can't escape the influence of the word "Jinghua" - you TM dare to refuse even Jinghua's things? It's against you!

Did you know that the high-level nobles of the Corps can also share dividends from these farm tools? Is your old man's head as they are with the country?

This system was implemented by the later Red Dynasty, and it may be more difficult to say that it was fully rolled out in the Ming Dynasty, because the local landlords and the scholars behind them will definitely disagree, and it may cause a big mess - the level that shakes the foundation of the imperial court.

However, this system is completely feasible within the scope of the "military cantonment". Why? Because the fields of the military tun were divided by Zhu Yuanzhang to the guard two hundred years ago, and the Jingying itself was also a "collective large landowner" who controlled a large number of military tun land in the name of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Since it is collective, and theoretically it is the emperor's land, it is easy to do, because it is not private, and the imperial court can do it like this today, and it can do it like that tomorrow. Gao pragmatic represented the imperial court to change this, and since the emperor agreed, no one had anything to say.

Besides, the nobles were actually "white gloves" before the emperor, and they also agreed, so what else do they say?

Like the Red Dynasty, in the restructured military tun fields, the military households, as relatively independent economic entities, contracted to operate the collective land of the Production and Construction Corps, as well as other means of production, and the general practice was to distribute the land to the peasant households according to the proportion of population or labor to operate, which was consistent with the Red Dynasty, and then independently carried out production and operation in accordance with the provisions of the contract.

As for its operating income, except for a part of the income that was handed over to the production and construction corps in accordance with the provisions of the contract and the payment of the land tax, which is different from the ordinary land tax and is relatively low, the remaining part is all attributed to the military households. The Production and Construction Corps, as the contractor, in addition to carrying out the necessary coordinated management and operation of some side businesses, mainly provides production services for peasant households, that is, providing agricultural tools, seeds, and the like, and occasionally repairs water conservancy facilities under high pragmatic requirements.

After listening to Gao's pragmatic explanation, Cheng Wen and Hu Zhili applauded. Hu Zhili said with emotion: "Situ is really a golden saint, and the lower officials were also born in agriculture in the past, if there is a landlord who is willing to give such good conditions, how can there be no one who does not carefully serve the more than ten acres of land?" It is no wonder that this Jingying military tun used to have a huge amount of empty land, and when it was reported every year, it actually lost a lot, and it needed help from the household department at every turn. Originally, the lower officials thought that it was just because the guards were greedy for ink too much, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that it is not only greedy for ink, but also that the military households are unwilling to do it at all! There are so many things that you get from working hard and so much, and there are so many things you get from stealing and cheating, who will be willing to do it? ”

Cheng Wen's family is in a good situation, he doesn't have such an experience, but he also thinks about it and asks: "Is the part taken by the Production and Construction Corps according to a fixed proportion or a fixed number?" What if there is a famine? ”
