Chapter 336: Quiet
"Spare me," Li Yuanwai lay on the ground, moaning weakly.
"Spare your life? What did you do when the villagers who were ruined by you begged you for mercy? Hengzhi, you are based on generosity, it doesn't matter if you count less, count faster, there are still more than 20 squires behind you. ”
Well, with generosity.
But is there a difference between a ten times less count and no less counting?
Zhang Mao giggled at the top of his voice.
The twenty or so squires also knelt down and pleaded bitterly.
"Do you want to be noisy too?"
The people in the distance looked at this, a little panicked, they didn't dare to come around, but they could see, it seemed that Li Yuanwai and many outsiders were defeated miserably.
Li Yuanwai's land doesn't care, but what should I do if I bring the land into these lands?
In fact, in the end, they will also have losses, but how to look at it, if it is labor, although there is a loss, the land that can be divided in the end will be more than the land they lose. Of course, they will have much less land than the people who did not bring land with them.
This is also a lesson for them, a tenant who brings land into the tenants, may not be able to reap much benefit himself, but harms other people who are serious about paying taxes.
They are not very miserable, and even said that they are cheap, the worst is the tenant farmers who cooperate with Li Yuanwai to resist to the end, one is to bring the land into the tenants, and the other is not to go to the canal workers to do the work, there will be some compensation, after all, so much land, it is impossible to hand over all the land to the Baojie army, or to hand it over to the people to cultivate, but this compensation is limited, and even their original land can not be recovered, so continue to be tenant farmers in the future.
So if you don't kill a chicken, there will be a lot of trouble.
Whether there is any trouble in the future, it depends on Li Yuanwai's chicken, how Wang Ju kills it.
Wang Ju wants to be generous, and Huang Liang will be able to calculate quickly with many soldiers who can settle accounts. After a while, Huang Liang said, "Zi'an, it's calculated." Probably a lot less. ”
"Less is less."
"Li Yuanwai evaded a total of 51,600 ...... to the imperial court for tax evasion plus interest."
"Just report the whole number. Odds are also exempt. ”
"I owe the court a total of 500 million stone grain, 100 million bundles of grass, 50 million pieces of silk, 10 billion yuan, and other people who obey Zi'an's opinion and are based on generosity, so I didn't forget it."
Zhang Mao almost laughed again, what difference does it make if the others count? It is to take the entire Shaanxi finances into captivity. I can't afford to pay it back.
Wang Ju was serious: "So much, that's a bit not easy to do, how can Li Yuanwai pay off?" ”
Cen Shi General said: "I heard that in the past, Li Yuan gave usury, and the people couldn't afford to pay it back, and finally sold the house and land, and even sold the children and daughters, and the family was completely broken, and the rest of the IOUs were laid, so the debt collection was stopped." ”
"It's a method, second eldest son. You go to the east gate of Jingyang, where are the two battalions of officers and soldiers, pass on my orders. Immediately seal up the Li family's industrial house, and then put the goods and goods together in the canal treasury for the purpose of building the canal, but the goods were valued for the purpose of letting the official settle accounts with Li Yuanwai. Moreover, Li Yuanwai is very cunning, so let's tear down all his houses together, leaving a livestock shed. Let the Li family have a place to live first, what should I do? As the two counsellors they hired said, I am always generous. Let's be generous. The timber, bricks, and tiles were then moved outside the city so that the soldiers of the various barracks could build houses and barnhouses in the future. ”
"Whoa."
"Li Yuanwai, these lands, in this way, the official plans to calculate the price of the last land, nearly 300 hectares, 150 million yuan, no, you owe 10 billion Wen, you still can't pay it back, forget it, when your family's property will be inventoried, you can also make an IOU. Someone comes, pull him down first. ”
Li Yuanwai was stupid at this time, he didn't cry or make trouble, just like a vegetative person, he was dragged down.
"Outside the staff, come here."
"Ming Gong, Ming Gong, spare your life, we are just some bad wolves, not embarrassed, Ming Gong spared the small ones," Zeng Yuan kowtowed like pounding rice.
What is the bankruptcy of the family, this is called the bankruptcy of the family, and even the house has been demolished, which is to make Li Yuanwai's family, together with future generations, never turn over.
"The little ones are willing to donate ......"
"What to donate, there is an account, come to someone, look at him, and then make noise, immediately slap his mouth."
Huang Liang began to take people to calculate again.
"No wonder my two nephews said they wanted to be temperate." Hou Ke sighed. In fact, some time ago, Wang Ju said that ninety percent of these people would burn the account room, but he still didn't believe it.
It turned out to burn.
In fact, Wang Ju's concession in the end was originally the best opportunity to step down, and there may be some losses, but how much can be lost, one percent of the land is still two percent of the land, but the rest of the land is irrigated, and it has become first-class fertile land, so don't you make up for it. Moreover, these people do not earn their living exclusively on rent, most of them are in business. One Zhengbaiqu will be able to feed more than 100,000 peasant households. This is just the peasants and the Baojie army, once so many people come in to live, there will be many people who do not have to farm and rely on other industries to make a living. That feeds more people. How much money do you have to make in a year just for this business opportunity?
Moreover, Wang Ju has asked Zhao Yuanwai to point out this business opportunity.
However, these people are still obsessed.
"Hou Zhixian, this is wrong again, don't be afraid of greed, but be greedy, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. For example, my grandfather and Zhu Yuanwai in Yanzhou, the more money they make, the more help they will help the country. ”
What kind of festival people's desires, if that's the case, if you have the ability to learn from Chen Tuan, don't go to the court to fight for fame and power!
Hou Ke was silent.
This is driven by Wang Ju, but the two families are doing well.
This soju made money, and it was invested in the county school on the other side of Huachi, and the residence of the Yeli people was arranged, so the money was overdrawn in the first half of the year. In the summer, it gradually improved, and then immediately traded livestock with Tubo, so much arable land came out here, and livestock cultivation was needed, especially the Baojie army, so that they had cattle in their hands, even if the three households owned a cow together, the farming problem could be solved, and they could train and fight with peace of mind.
The court has no money, and where can I buy cattle.
In fact, the people of the Zhu and Li families bought cattle from there, and pulled them to Zheng Baiqu for more than a dozen yuan.
The price of cattle in the Song Dynasty was not reasonable at all.
The court is rich, can you give it up?
However, because of the Zhu and Li families, this problem was solved, more than 1,900 cows. More than 200 donkeys are being transported to Jingyang, and they will arrive in about a few days.
Although it cannot solve the needs of all the Sergeants of Baojie who are about to Tuntian. But it will relieve some of the stress.
If all the businessmen are like the Zhu and Li families, what problems can't be solved in the imperial court?
Huang Liang also calculated the arrears of Zeng Yuanwai. Needless to say, another terrible number.
"Lu Ping, come here, and also bring two battalions of officers and soldiers into the city."
Zeng Yuanwai went bankrupt again.
Wang Ju's eyes swept over the rest of the people.
These people were so frightened that they couldn't do it together, and Peng Yuanwai had no choice but to take the lead and begged: "Ming Gong, we have nothing else to ask for." Let us divide the land according to the acres of land in the field book. ”
"So easy?"
"We'll give some more money and food to donate to the canal workers."
"Some, this officer asks you, I have come to preside over the drains, but have I given any cloth and orders against you? Yes, the official has been under the dew cloth and is not allowed to enclose the field, but did the official do something wrong? ”
"Nope."
"I ask you again, I have killed several officials, and they are your sons. Or a nephew? ”
"It's not."
"Then why did you send them into Beijing to sue the emperor? The official will ask you again what he did before. Why did you send people to attack me, and you scolded the official in front of everyone on the street, scolded the official's parents, and forced the official to live in a thatched hut. What do you think of this officer? This official asks you again, why did you send people to burn the county government and burn the account room, which is like a conspiracy? ”
"There is no rebellion." Peng Yuanwai shuddered.
"Did you appoint those people? Say! ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones have blinded the lard," Peng Yuanwai also began to smack his mouth. Do you dare not admit it?
"How to instruct. How to do it, confess one by one. ”
No way. These people had no choice but to confess, but the main charge was put on Li Yuanwai.
"Sign and draw." Wang Ju shouted again.
Dozens of people had no choice but to sign the confessions.
"Constant. Continue to liquidate their tax arrears. ”
"Ming Gong, let us go, we are willing to donate, as long as Ming Gong says, we will donate as much as you want us to donate."
"What are you doing = will this official blackmail you? It's as much as it should be. However, Hengzhi only calculates the tax arrears according to the acres they say, plus four adult interest, and does not need to calculate the rolling interest. ”
But what's the difference between this?
Even if you don't add four adult interest, you still can't afford it, but it won't become astronomical.
"Duke Ming, Hou Zhixian, the envoy, let us go."
"Hengzhi, continue to count, but the official will give you a chance, see over there, under the locust tree, you go and discuss it again, and see if there are any conspiracies to deal with the official."
"We don't dare anymore."
"Get out, the official told you to go, aren't you going!"
Peng Yuanwai still wanted to beg, but suddenly realized, and hurriedly led everyone to run under the locust tree.
"This kid is hateful, no wonder our people burned in front and arrested in the back," Yun Yuanwai said.
Needless to say, this is a big pit, but the jump also jumped down, what does it do if you say it?
"Shhh Xu Yuanwaidao.
"Do you hear what the kid means?" Peng Yuanwaidao.
"He's still blackmailing."
"It's not blackmail, it's going to be ruthless."
"So what do we do?"
"Yun Yuanwai, you are still thinking about dealing with him now," Xu Yuanwai said worriedly.
"It's still a big deal," Yun Yuanwai said, two confessions, one is the acres of land they confessed, and the other is the arson they admit to arson, how to deal with it? Don't talk about raiding the house, just arrest them and get stuck, Wang Ju also has a certificate.
"Then how much food do we pay, so that he can be satisfied."
As Wang Ju, of course, the more the better, but that is impossible, unless they are all raided, so they are allowed to negotiate under the locust tree. But if this amount is not satisfied, there will inevitably be a third person who will go bankrupt.
Looking at the group of people muttering in the distance, Zhang Mao said, "Our family understands." ”
"What does Lieutenant Envoy Zhang understand?"
"I heard that when Zi'an visited the official's family, the official's family once said that more sergeants must be arranged."
"Yes, I didn't know that things would be so strict."
"Of course, Zi'an has only served as the magistrate of Huachi for one term."
"Yes, the border is one thing, and the inland is another, so I was planning to sell a lot of land to raise some money to fund the canal workers. The official family vetoed it and let the minister settle the sergeant. Fortunately, the official family said something, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable. ”
"So after Zi'an settled, he confiscated the field book, but didn't say anything, just killed a few Xu officials, sent a signal, let them throw themselves into the net, and then punished the Li Zeng family, after seeing what happened to them, the whole territory was shocked, and the field was divided."
"Lieutenant Envoy Zhang, you have wronged me, in fact, I didn't think about it so clearly at the time, but I knew that Tian Ji was a key health, so I confiscated it. As for the officials, it has nothing to do with these people at all. Actually, I went down to repair the ditch, and the ditch was the main thing. Once these officials are greedy for ink, it will not only affect the enthusiasm of the people, but even because of the lack of materials, even the canal cannot be repaired. Besides, the members of the plumber were complicated at that time, so I used the thunderbolt method. But I didn't expect that these people couldn't wait one by one. ”
"They used to be arrogant."
"Yes, but they ignored a few, one is that I and a few canal envoys are conscientious and have no authority to teach, and the other is that there are tens of thousands of sergeants behind me."
"What if we don't have them?"
"There will be a way, but it will be a headache, and Lieutenant Envoy Zhang, you have also neglected one, if you move Zheng Baiqu, don't move to the Central Plains, as long as you move to the vicinity of Chang'an, where is the real Haoqiang, I just have a sergeant available, and I will have a headache." Since Zhang Mao mentioned it, Wang Ju also said it.
He will bring these situations back, maybe to report to the two queen mothers, maybe to Han Qi, or to Zhao Ji.
In fact, Wang Ju's extraneous words, this is a special case, it cannot be learned, if it is done like this in other regions, it will poke a big hornet's nest, and it will not even end.
More than 20 people also discussed it, and said the amount of "donations", a total of 200,000 yuan, 200,000 horses of silk, and 400,000 stone of grain. and promised to take the initiative to cooperate with Wang Ju and the officials to divide the field.
After saying this number, more than two dozen people's hearts were dripping blood.
But what to do, it's better than the Zeng and Li families going bankrupt. Even so, Wang Ju may not be satisfied, because he has not killed anyone yet.
"Do you have so much food in your hands? So be it, cut the grain in half. Xu Yuanwai, Shi Yuanwai ...... "Wang Ju ordered eleven squires to come over, and gave them a reduction of most of the silk money, the reason is very simple, although they are mixed in this time, but there are few strict evil deeds in the township." Especially in addition to the historians, sometimes they did some good deeds, so they almost let Wang Ju reduce all the silk money, and at the same time promised that even in the hidden field, they would give them a more satisfactory explanation.
At this moment, Shi Yuanwai almost felt that he had flown from hell to heaven, and he almost danced with joy.
Peng Yuanwai understood, and the general Wang Ju still wanted to take it lightly and reduce disputes.
But now that it's come to this, what can he say?
The news flew out like wings, and some people with ideas immediately put away their thoughts when they saw the fate of the Zeng and Li families.
This is the official beginning of the division of fields.
It's quiet, except for a few minor disputes, and almost no one dares to make trouble anymore. (To be continued) R466
