The Xu family is indeed miserable, they pretended to be Huang Da Zhuangyuan, ran to the vicinity of the capital to annex the land, and let His Majesty the Emperor arrest him, I am afraid that the crime is too many to count.

Huang Guan is really happy, from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't been broken by Lao Zhu, he would really not have said anything, after all, he had already written an article of thanks, and everyone in the world knew that he owed the Xu family, and the Xu family was under his banner, could he still turn his face when he got it?

If he can't turn his face categorically, if something happens to the Xu family in the future, will he also be unlucky?

The current situation is the best for him, but Huang Guan is also a little worried.

"Lord Liu, I'll be honest with you, the Xu family has a lot of grievances against me, and I don't care too much about what the outcome is. But I'm worried that the world will say that I'm unkind, so I'm going to go to the book and intercede for the Xu family, but I'm worried that Your Majesty will blame me, and I've finally escaped from it, in case I'm suspected by Your Majesty again, I, I'm not going to be able to do it. ”

Liu Chun snorted lightly, "Champion Yuangong, it's not that it's not easy to do, it's that you eat in the bowl and look at the pot, and you want to save face, is there such a cheap thing in this world?" ”

Huang Guan's old face was feverish, and he said, "What Lord Liu taught me is that I understand...... Don't talk about the Xu family, they are to blame! ”

Huang Guan said, raised the wine glass, and exchanged glasses with Liu Chun. Drunk.

There is no doubt about Zhu Yuanzhang's efficiency, when he asked the people of the Xu family, Huang Guan really didn't know about their annexation of land, Lao Zhu was furious!

Huang Guan has restored his original surname and has nothing to do with the Xu family, but the Xu family is still under the banner of others, ruining the reputation of others, and has bad intentions!

It is even more hateful to annex land, destroy the land and affect tax revenue.

Also, as a strong man, does the Xu family have the evil behavior of bullying the people in the fish and meat township?

Examine!

Check it out!

Jin Yiwei commanded Wu Hua to personally lead the team and rushed to the Xu family in Chizhou, and arrested all the Xu family, and there was no one left, and all of them were escorted to the capital.

It stands to reason that there is nothing remarkable about catching a strong place.

But something went wrong.

When the Xu family was escorted to the city gate, suddenly a woman broke free and ran towards the crowded place, shouting as she ran.

"My nephew is a six-yuan minister! My nephew is a Wenqu star! ”

"Let him save my aunt!"

"I also fed him! You have been admitted to the top prize, you can't be ungrateful, you have eaten my blood turned milk! ”

……

The woman yelled bitterly, and at last the brocade guard rushed up and held her down and gagged her again.

But even so, the woman's word went out.

Everyone in the capital knows that the people arrested this time have Huang Liushou's relatives!

Although he changed back to his original surname, the relationship is still there.

doesn't even care about relatives, how ruthless the surname Huang should be!

How can a ruthless and unrighteous person be a loyal and filial son?

This is the second time that Huang Guan has been complained about after the controversy over the relocation of the capital, he went to the Hanlin Academy, but his colleagues were far away, and they all looked at him from the corner of their eyes, as if to say, see no, this is the ruthless and unrighteous brute, more than 20 years of nurturing grace, how can it be said that it can be cut off.

Not to mention a big living person, even if it is a dog, it will not be saved from death!

Huang Guan was depressed and wanted to die, he wanted to grab those people and tell them what was going on with the Xu family, and how much grievances he had suffered?

However, he couldn't say it, and people didn't want to hear it at all.

The overwhelming scolding can scold you to doubt your life.

I didn't expect me to be such an ugly person!

I might as well be dead!

Huang Guan swayed, came out of the Hanlin Courtyard, in a trance, a carriage sped by, and almost hit him.

"Impatient?"

The carriage stopped, the coachman cursed, and at this time the curtain was raised, Liu Chun looked outside and smiled, "Huang Zhuangyuan, just come to find you, follow me into the palace!" ”

"Yes, it's Lady Liu?"

Huang Guan was stunned for a moment, but still hurriedly got into the carriage.

When he went in, he found that there was an old eunuch next to him.

"Our family came to invite Lord Liu by the will of the saint. But Lord Liu said that Huang Liushou must help testify! ”

Huang Guan was puzzled, Liu Chun chuckled and said: "That's the case, I'm very interested in the situation of the Xu family, I checked the file, and then wrote something for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty summoned me." There are some details, and I have to ask Huang Zhuangyuan to help add. ”

"Oh!"

Although Huang Guan nodded, his heart mentioned his throat, what did Liu Chun find?

Could it be that the Xu family committed the crime of disobedience? Conspiracy? Or is it a troll?

Do you want to destroy the Nine Clans?

So what should he do? Is it insured or not?

Will he be implicated?

Huang Guan was about to collapse.

He really regrets it now, if he didn't get the top prize and didn't become the sixth song of this trick, maybe everything would be much better, right? At least it won't be that bad!

Since the old eunuch followed, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only enter the palace with him.

When he arrived at the main hall, Huang Guan found that there was something special, and he actually put a few chairs, the crown prince Zhu Biao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jiang Xuan, and the prince of Xinguo, Tang He, all of whom were present.

What is this for?

Do you sit and talk about it?

Seeing Liu Chun coming, Lao Tang smiled and said, "Stinky boy, where did you get so many ghost thoughts?" Isn't it just a Xu family? Is it also worth wasting spitting? Just kill it! ”

Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "Although the Xu family is not enough, but tens of thousands of Xu families are worth studying." Later students felt that the Xu family was a representative of the gentry and heroes in many places, and if they figured out the process of making their fortunes, they could get a glimpse of what had happened in the countryside in the past 20 years. ”

Lao Tang grabbed his beard and turned his head with a smile, "Your Majesty, what this kid said makes some sense, the old minister respectfully invites Your Majesty!" ”

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned out from behind, he was wearing a wide Taoist robe, and he was not wearing a gown. This kind of dress usually appears at the feast, which shows how much Lao Zhu attaches importance to it.

"Liu Chun, just talk about it!"

"Yes, I obey!" Liu Chun cleared his throat, "The Xu family is a businessman, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, because the imperial court implemented the tax system, the Xu family attached itself to the powerful and gained the power to collect taxes, so they accumulated a lot of wealth. ”

The tax law of the Yuan Dynasty was the most stringent in all dynasties. As we all know, the Yuan is a color eye. These people are the best at money lending.

They estimated in advance how much tax should be paid for a place and an industry, and the designated merchants first handed over the taxes to the imperial court, and then the merchants collected taxes from the common people.

Let the officials collect taxes, maybe they will collect three or five percent more, but let the merchants collect taxes, not three or five times, it is considered a bodhisattva heart!

The Xu family was not qualified to directly collect taxes, but they were shameless enough to give a daughter to a lustful person as a concubine, and finally got some power to collect taxes.

By squeezing the people, they made the first fortune and bought a lot of land, as if they were strong.

Later, when the war arose, Huang Guan's father went to Chizhou to do business and owed the Xu family money. The Xu family wanted to force debts, but found that Huang Guan's father was good-looking, smart, and had read. This is too important, because the rebel armies are surging everywhere, and the banner of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty has been raised.

They are very likely to get involved with the Semu people.

Simply, the Xu family recruited a son-in-law.

Father Huang helped the Xu family take care of some things and gave gifts to the rebels, so he escaped.

It is precisely because of this incense that Huang Guan was able to study with the children of the Xu family when he was a child, otherwise, he would be similar to a child in his family, and he was still counting on the imperial examination, so let's dream!

"Your Majesty, since entering this dynasty, the Xu family was initially quite honest, but with the peace of the world, there are more and more of their children, and many of them have also entered the county government and the government and become small officials. This is the first step for the Xu family to reopen their teeth and claws! ”

"Originally, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Xu family had a lot of money and should be the grain chief, but the Xu family relied on the people in the yamen to push the grain chief's errand to other families who were not wealthy!"

Lao Zhu's face is ugly!

The grain chief is his invention!

Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people, there is really no doubt about this, but sometimes he does bad things with good intentions.

Take taxation as an example, Lao Zhu was worried that the officials would take the opportunity to prey on the people, so he handed over the power of collecting grain to the grain chief. The so-called grain chief is within a grain area, usually 10,000 stone fields are given as a grain area, in the grain area, Ding Duo Grain's family, as a grain chief, responsible for collecting and transporting tax grain, to the capital.

And this grain chief is also hereditary.

Obviously, it's not a good job.

First of all, it is very troublesome to collect grain, and it is even more troublesome to send it to the capital on time.

Losses along the way, cattle and people may die on the road, but the court will not care about this.

The Xu family naturally pushed the grain chief to others, they were unwilling to be responsible for the grain collection, but they were extremely interested in the field property, through continuous mergers, their land has exceeded 5,000 mu.

In Chizhou, he is also regarded as a middle-class and upper-class wealthy family, and in recent years, there have been children of the Xu family who have been admitted to fame.

A talented person can be exempted from two stone tax and grain, and two ding of forced labor.

The amount of taxes paid by the Xu family is getting smaller and smaller, and the wealth they have accumulated is also increasing.

They are gradually not satisfied with the strong of being a party, and they want to stretch out their hands to the capital.

No, it happened to catch up with the top prize in the Huang Guan examination, and the Xu family thought about borrowing his name, accepting contributions, and quickly accumulating farm properties.

"Your Majesty, according to the inspection, the Xu family has more than 5,600 mu of land, of which more than 270 tenants have farmed for them. This time, Lord Huang won the top prize in the examination, and with an official body, according to the rules of the imperial court, he can support domestic servants. These more than 200 tenants will become the servants of the Xu family, and from then on, there will be no such people in the yellow book of the imperial court, and they will only do things for the Xu family! ”

"Ridiculous! Outrageous! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily, "No wonder I am optimistic about some places, more than 20 years after the founding of the country, but the Dingkou has not increased, and even decreased!" They have all become their slaves! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly snorted and looked at Tang He, and said angrily: "Xinguo Gong, how many servants are there in your family?" Don't you also pay taxes to the imperial court? And Jiang Xuan, what about your home? ”

The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, and Lao Zhu didn't let Liu Chun go, "And you, you kid also has a lot of slaves, right?" ”
