Regarding Wang Yingzhi, a bureaucrat who relied on Wei Zhongxian to come to power, and after Wei Zhongxian lost power, he pretended to be a stranger, Xu Xianchun didn't pay attention to it at all, and he said casually without raising his eyelids.

"Lord Fuyuan laughed, the lower official is just asking the case according to His Majesty's will, so what is the matter of withholding the field. As long as these good people produce the title deeds to prove which fields belong to their families, how dare the lower officials detain these fields and not return them. ”

Xu Xianchun's words immediately choked Wang Yingzhi, and Shangguan Xun, the county magistrate of Shunyi, who was sitting in the bottom two of the right row in the lobby, immediately got up and defended.

Xu Baihu's words may not be biased, this civil rebellion happened suddenly, and in the middle of the night, the chaotic people looted everywhere, tragic situations abounded, these good people hurriedly avoided, how could they think of taking away the title deed documents?

Now that they have been looted by the mutins, and even the furniture has been chopped up by the mutins and burned as firewood, how can they get any more land deed documents? Besides, the official has asked the local village elders to testify, and even the tenants have not denied that the fields they cultivate belong to the owner's family. Why did hundreds of households get in the way? ”

"When did this official make a stalk? As long as you see the title deed documents, the official will naturally return them. If those tenant villagers and village elders can stipulate the ownership of the land by testifying, then why does the dynasty still formulate land deed documents? Isn't that redundant? Xu Xianchun raised his head and said without looking at Shangguan Zhixian.

Listening to the dispute in the hall, Wang Yingzhi felt a little annoyed in his heart. This Xu Xianchun was a close confidant of Father-in-law Wei at the beginning, and he also deliberately flattered Xu Xianchun at the beginning, and it was normal to be a little shorter in front of Xu Xianchun.

But now that Gonggong Wei has fallen, this Xu Xianchun is still so arrogant in front of himself, a feudal official, and he is inevitably a little unbeatable.

Wang Yingyun thought about it for a long time, but still found that he was still helpless against Xu Xianchun and others, after all, now Jinyiwei is responsible for investigating the teaching case and meddling in the identity verification of the local fields, which is really a legitimate excuse.

Sitting opposite Xu Xianchun is Xu Congzhi, a subordinate official of Shuntian Fuya, who participates in politics, he looks majestic and looks extraordinary.

However, he was indeed a capable official, who once assisted the general soldier Yang Zhaoji to pacify the Wenxiang Sect Xu Hongru rebellion, and later went home because of a disagreement with Wang Weijian, the governor of Shandong.

At the beginning of this year, he was recommended by a friend in the same year in the DPRK and China, and he was reinstated as a Taoist, and moved to Shuntian in August to serve as a political officer.

Xu Congzhi has been observing coldly, and the few brocade guards sitting opposite are mainly observing Xu Xianchun and Ye Qi beside him.

Seeing that Xu Xianchun blocked Shunyi Zhixian speechlessly, Xu Congzhi chuckled, and said to Xu Xianchun: "Since Lord Fuyuan and Shunyi County can't convince Xu Baihu, it's better to ask Xu Baihu to tell me what kind of charter you have in mind." We might as well give an explanation to the people of the three counties, so that the people of the counties will not cause any more chaos when they are uneasy. ”

Xu Xianchun glanced at Xu Congzhi fixedly, and then said unhurriedly: "Xu Shenzheng is right, there must be a charter before we can do things."

The big charter, then Your Majesty has to make an idea, how dare the lower officials make their own opinions. As for the small charter, there is still one for the lower officials.

The lower officials thought that as long as the counties took out the fish scale atlas, we all verified the owners of the fields according to the fish scale atlas and cleared the fields in each county, which was the easiest way. ”

The smile on Xu Congzhi's face suddenly suffocated, Xu Xianchun's words did not leak, he wanted to put the responsibility of refusing to return to the owner's field on Jinyiwei's back, and now it is obviously in vain.

"When did these brainless eagle dogs behave so orderly." Xu Congzhi looked at Xu Xianchun uncertainly.

Whether it was Shunyi, Pinggu or Sanhe Zhixian, when they heard Xu Xianchun's proposal, they all immediately lowered their heads, not daring to answer Xu Xianchun's words.

Governor Wang Yingzhi was obviously a little breathless, he pointed to the name of Shangguanxun of Shunyi County, and said with a little resentment: "Xu Baihu's words are also quite reasonable, where is your fish scale atlas in Shunyi County, take it out and check the acres of land with Xu Baihu face to face, and then clear the field on the spot, can you determine the ownership of the field soon?" ”

Shangguan Xun's face turned pale, and he knelt in front of the hall with a plop, lying on the ground with five bodies on the ground, and said to Wang Yingzhi: "The fish scale atlas of Shunyi County disappeared at the time of the civil uprising, this is all a dereliction of duty by the lower officials, please condemn the Lord Fuyuan." ”

"You..."Governor Wang Yingzhi suddenly became furious, and he knew why this Shangguan Xun wanted to give him a gift last night and do this little thing.

Now that he is difficult to ride a tiger, if this matter is stopped, then he will not become a laughing stock, and who will recognize his majesty as a governor in the future.

When Wang Yingzhi was thinking about how to relieve himself, Xu Xianchun suddenly asked coldly: "The Shunyi County Ya was not damaged in the civil uprising, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sit here."

A county's fish scale atlas must be filled with at least half a house, although these mutants have captured the county government, but they have not burned here, is it possible that they deliberately moved the atlas out of the county office in order not to let us know that they burned the fish scale atlas? ”

Shangguan Xinzhi was speechless, and everyone in the hall noticed it, as if there was another hidden story behind this matter.

Wang Yingzhi was unwilling to fall into a big pit dug by several county officials for a few hundred taels of silver.

"Shunyi County, do you still want to continue to deceive Shangguan? What is the secret of the matter, immediately recruit the truth for the Pontusto. ”

Seeing Wang Yingzhi's anger, Shangguan Xin finally couldn't bear it, and he had to explain: "The fish scale atlas in this county was brought back to his home by the household warden, and the pawn's house was burned down during the civil uprising, and the fish scale atlas disappeared. ”

Before Wang Yingzhi could speak, Xu Xianchun had already sneered and said: "Okay, the fish scale atlas is a national classic, and you dare to take it home privately, and this official in Shunyi County is really easy." But even if the fish scale atlas is gone, this money and food inventory will never be able to be brought back."

Xu Xianchun's question about the money and grain inventory, except for Wang Yingzhi, knew nothing about it, Xu Congzhi and several county officials knew it in their hearts, but they couldn't answer this question.

Wang Yingzhi, who had never been a pro-people official, listened to Xu Xianchun's words and felt that it was a solution, he didn't notice the look that Xu Congzhi gave him, and said to Shangguan Xun in a daze.

"Xu Baihu is right, Shunyi County, this annual money and grain list has the amount of taxes paid by each household that year, as long as the amount of taxes paid by these families is reversed, it should not be too difficult to deduce the amount of fields that each household should have, right?"

Shangguan Xun listened to Wang Yingyun's questioning, and it was like five thunderbolts. He didn't want to tell the secret behind the money and grain inventory in front of so many people, which would not only put him in a quagmire, but also offend the gentry of Shunyi County, so he could only remain silent.

Looking at Shangguan Xun, who was kneeling in front of the hall and remained silent without saying a word, Wang Yingyun felt as if he had asked a stupid question.

But he didn't know what the problem was, and he couldn't move the topic in other directions.

Xu Congzhi, who participated in politics, looked at Xu Xianchun with a weird smile on his face opposite, and immediately understood that this brocade guard was obviously aware of the money and grain inventory. When he raised this question, he was undoubtedly digging a pit for Wang Yingzhi.

As a member of the civil officials, Xu Congzhi obviously couldn't accept it, and let the stupid and incompetent factory guards in his eyes play with his colleagues.

He got up and walked to Wang Yingzhi's side and whispered a few words, and then retreated to his seat, Wang Yingzhi only then understood the difference between the fish scale atlas and the money and grain inventory.

The fish scale atlas used now is still the yellow album verified by Zhang Juzheng in Wanli time. And land ownership is not immutable, Wanli Qingzhang formulated the fish scale atlas, to this day probably in addition to some large landlords in the hands of the land has not changed, the land in the hands of small and medium-sized landlords has long been changed a few hands.

Therefore, the purpose of formulating the Yellow Book is only to determine the total amount of cultivated land in the world, and the total amount of land in a year.

Basically, each county will also draw up a white book of the actual collection of households, which is used to collect the actual tax that should be paid.

And the officials who were in charge of and compiled the white books colluded with the gentry and landlords to transfer the land endowment to those yeoman farmers, which became a tacit unspoken rule.

The most common of these are the scheming and sprinkling, which is to falsely report one's own land in the name of another person in order to avoid servitude. On the other hand, the flying sprinkler colluded with the officials to reduce the tax on the land to zero and distribute it to the fields of other farmers in order to evade the tax.

Generally speaking, it is the local powerful who can evade taxes. And the people of Shunyi changed together, after the fish scale atlas disappeared, if the land was verified according to the money and grain inventory, then the more powerful the person, the greater the loss.

After learning about the conspiracy behind these money and grain lists, Wang Yingzhi suddenly fell silent, he was not interested in standing on the opposite side of those local gentry.

Although the gentry and wealthy families in Shunyi have been greatly damaged after the rebellion, the marriage between the gentry and the gentry has long made the relationship between the gentry more than local.

Wang Yingzhi knew very well that if he used the list of money and grain as the basis for verifying the fields today, then tomorrow he would be hated by the relatives and friends of these gentry, and he did not have the courage to resist this force.

As for the brocade guards, they were originally the sworn enemies of the gentry, and doing such a thing was just to make the gentry remember one more crime.

When Wang Yingzhi was in a dilemma, Zhang Daojun, the commander of Jinyiwei, arrived with Chongzhen's will.

This made Wang Yingzhi breathe a sigh of relief, but soon he couldn't relax, and Zhang Daojun brought him bad news.

The emperor dismissed him from the post of governor of Shuntian and appointed Zhu Tongmeng to succeed him as governor of Shuntian after he moved the garrison of Zunhua to Xifengkou, causing a gap in the garrison of Zunhua, and the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect under his rule.
