Chapter 165: Yu Sheng's Ancient Law Surabaya Qing (8)

When Jiao He noticed the change in the ink man, the ink man had already controlled Peiyi's situation.

The Righteous Master and the Ink Master were stationed in the city and controlled most of the streets.

The people who had gathered under the pretext of preparing to dig a canal distributed their weapons and appeared outside the city.

The soldiers defending the city have long been controlled by the ink people, and except for the south gate, the rest of the city gates are all closed.

The guards of the city gate are the most elite organized men of the ink who prepare the city gate.

Shi was still there talking, and the things he talked about were not for those small officials, nor for those people in the back, but for those spies and merchants who had the ability to travel to other countries hidden in Peiyi.

Originally, it was just a seemingly fair selection of talents, because the Moshi did not pay attention to those "virtuous talents" at all, and was actually made into a rally to promote extreme ideas such as "princes and princes will have a kind of Xiangning" and "everyone in the world is equal".

Many ideas for selecting talents need to be practiced to make people more clearly recognized, and they also need to apply their own tongues to explain many hidden rules clearly.

Just as he was about to say the last rule, Ji Chengzi waved his hand at the restless officials and blew the wooden whistle on his chest.

Almost at the same time, the Ink Swordsman, who had been preparing for a long time, suddenly drew his short sword and captured all the officials on the list of imitations with lightning speed.

In the brief confusion of the crowd, Shi stood tall and shouted, "Don't panic! The ink is for the benefit of the world, and the harm of the world is removed! You have not harmed the world, what are you alarming about? ”

The murderous reputation of the imitation of Chengzi has long spread in Peiyi, even if the Xiangting does not belong to Peiyi, but many people in Peiguo Township also live in Peiyi.

In addition, those who were hanged by the ink man in the village pavilion were still hanging outside the city, and the onlookers couldn't help but be nervous when they saw the ink man suddenly make a move.

But just as parents need a red face and a white face, they are all happy on weekdays, looking harmless to humans and animals, and they have enough prestige in Peiyi.

As soon as he shouted, the crowd fell silent.

"Now, let me make clear the last criterion for selecting talents: those who violate the ban, violate the law, and harm the world are not allowed to participate."

"The ink man announced the prohibition of the crime of harming the world...... and others to participate in this selection. ”

After reading the names of the officials who had colluded with Wu Zhu, he asked the people without saying the charges: "Do you know why they harm the world?" ”

The people have either experienced it themselves, or have heard of the accusations of the Mo people dealing with Wu Zhu, and the collusion between these officials and Wu Zhu is a matter that everyone in Peiyi knows.

If it was two years to ask, perhaps no one would dare to answer.

But now, with the ink swordsman beside him, and the ink master or righteous master in the city queue behind him, where do everyone dare not?

"Collusion with Wu Zhu to collect money!"

"Embezzle public land!"

"Uneven land granting!"

"Steal and sell the car!"

All sorts of crimes, either known or guessed by oneself, were shouted out like this.

After listening for a while, he said: "Since everyone knows about these crimes, isn't it wrong for these people to not be able to participate in the selection of talents?" ”

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

Everyone shouted, several small officials turned pale, only one of them was still supportive, and couldn't help asking: "Suitable!" Why did the inkers arrest us? ”

Shi smiled and said, "Because you are harming the world." ”

The little official, perhaps to hide the panic in his words, laughed and said, "I don't hear of such a crime in this world!" Aren't you inkers paying attention to the covenant of all peoples? Isn't it about innocence? Why are you arresting us? ”

Shi shook his head and said: "You have not sinned, you have not violated the law, but because you have harmed the world, the ink master wants to punish you." In the name of benefiting the world, this is not the first time we have done such a thing. ”

The little official roared angrily: "Could it be that the princes and nobles harm the world, will you do the same?" ”

This question has already been explained, and at this time he explained it again, and then said: "You have not violated the law, so it is not the law that deals with you, but the heart of the ink man who benefits the world. If you have any grudges, you can come to the inker, and we are not afraid. ”

What he said was not the slightest bit of inwardness.

Soon the Song Kingdom was about to be in chaos, and the minds of the Three Jin Dynasty were focused on competing with Chu for hegemony, and no force could threaten the Mo people in Pei County for a few years.

He retreated to the back, and Cheng Zi stepped forward expressionlessly, and several ink masters escorted the three Wu Zhu at the beginning, identifying the people who colluded with Wu Zhu to collect money among the small officials, which can be described as conclusive.

As for the way to deal with it, there is a precedent for the last Wuzhu incident, and many people have already guessed the way to deal with it.

Sure enough, after reading out the embezzlement of the privately divided property by these small officials, he read: "The above money and property are all charged according to the interest they lend on weekdays, and the amount is as follows: ......"

"If their fields, industries, gold and jade, etc., cannot be replenished, they will go to the mines to dig iron ore to repay the debts of the people. Young children in their families and those who are confirmed to be unaware of the disease are exempt from hard labor. Those who knew about it, and those who had enjoyed the money, went to the mines to work together. or to death, or to pay off. ”

"The slaves, servants, subordinates, sons-in-law, and traitors in the family are all under the jurisdiction of the Mo first, and after a year they make a living for them."

After he finished speaking, those few little officials still had to shout the truth, and the truth of Chengzi's heart had already been clearly explained, I don't want to listen to your reasoning, and he may not be willing to say it if he has said a lot of voices.

Nodding at the inkers, he immediately rushed up and removed the chins of those little officials, or strangled their mouths with hemp ropes.

The inkman who was waiting nearby immediately passed the news to his peers who were waiting to be calculated, and there was a cry in the distance.

The people nearby have already seen it once, and they know that the ink man will not harm them when he does things, and they don't know who took the lead in shouting good,

Soon, the applause rang out, complementing the cries in the distance.

After everyone quieted down, Shi said: "The ink man wants to benefit the world, but also to the law, I think you have also heard about the law between the township pavilions." ”

In the past two years, the living standard of the township pavilion where the Mo people have penetrated has been continuously improved, the yield per mu has increased, the by-products have increased, and there has been no tax collection for the time being, so it can be said that the living standard is much higher than that of ordinary people in Peiyi.

It is people who go to high places and water flows to low places, and everyone hopes that they will live better, but they are just separated by a city wall, and the farmers outside the city are doing well, but the farmers in the city are not doing well, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Listening to the ink man say this, some people have already shouted out things like knowing and willing.

Shi Dao: "In the village pavilion, all the people agree on the law, this is what you have all heard." ”

"Today, the Mo Shi put forward Peiyi's covenant, whether you agree or not, you have to admit it."

"Each township pavilion is different from you, Shiwu is divided, each elects representatives, and then elects people to attend the meeting, the number is not large. In Peiyi City, this is not the case, so we will make it clear today, and in five days we will agree on whether to agree with it or revise it outside the city. ”

"Everyone, don't mess around yet, listen to me finish the decrees!"

The inkman and the scribe who are in charge of conveying the order in the vicinity are already in place, and they can be said to be proficient.

A Peiyi reform plan drafted by the Mozhi internally, using the local dialect of Peixian, is eloquent.

"One of them: land tax."

"From the spring of next year, all military endowments will be added to private fields."

"All registered farmers no longer need to work on the public land as military endowments, and all military endowments are evenly distributed to individual private acres, and the mu tax is the same."

"For a limited period of one year, the ink master teaches the skills of harvesting, and anyone who can master it and who originally cultivated it in the public land to which it belongs can buy the public land, or can buy it in a group of Shiwu."

"There is no need to pay off the public land in a lump sum, and those who are deemed qualified by the ink can pay off the money for the purchase of the public land in ten years."

Among them, the ink man could borrow iron tools from those who could master the skill of harvesting, and he would pay it off in three years. Those who have mastered the skills of harvesting can also be divided into groups and have priority in obtaining cattle and horses. ”

"Qiu Jia Fu and Pima Qiu Niu Fu are abolished and apportioned in the private mu tax, and the cattle and horses of all public offices in Pei County are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Mo."

"All scholars and nobles no longer bear military taxes, and the serfs who seal their fields are all taxed in Pei County, and those who are threatened by the nobles are punished. The specific punishment will be discussed in five days. ”

"The private land of the nobles shall be reported in full before the fifth month, and whoever conceals it shall be punished by five times the tax; Anything that is not recognized or passed on to the tenant farmer is owned by the tenant farmer. ”

"All nobles paid taxes in full, with no exceptions. Those who do not pay will be fined and confiscated to fill the amount, and they will be sold by Pei County and returned to the public. ”

"All public land and private acres should be measured before May. The specific tax rate will be tentatively determined by the ink practitioner and will be discussed after five days. ”

"Those who have no land can go to Peiguo Township before December this year to register. It is arranged by the inker, or arranged to cultivate, or arranged to work in a hundred ways. ”

"All acres of land cannot be bought and sold for the time being within three years."

"All the reclamation of wasteland must be reported to the Xiangting and Peiyi field officials. If it is allowed to cultivate, it is exempt from tax for three years, and the tax rate is set separately after three years. ”

"Those who are willing to cultivate grass can register with Peiguo before December, and the ink will prepare iron tools and farm tools, and pay them off in three years."

His voice wasn't too loud, but the silence around him was terrifying, and even though Peiyi was a city, there were still a lot of farmers in the city.

To be precise, they are the real "population" of Peiyi of the Song Kingdom, because it was difficult for the Song State office and nobles to govern a place fifty miles outside the city wall.

A large number of farmers are naturally the most concerned about the reform of the private mu tax.

Taxes and taxes are not the same, most of the harvest in the public fields is endowment, and a small amount is taxation.

Tax fields and endowment fields are nominally different. The public land used as tax fields was nominally used for sacrificial purposes; The public land that was used to make the field was nominally used for war.

But in fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period, no one has followed this rule, and even from the beginning it was only an ideal society that existed on bamboo slips.

The reform of the private mu tax, but the public land tax has not disappeared, and the tax system of the entire Song State is chaotic, so it is appropriate to talk about the reform of the private mu system, which immediately caused a sensation.

This is...... An unprecedented event.
