Chapter 713 Andong Metropolitan Protectorate [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
Liu Che lay on the cool bed, listened to Ji Di beside him, and recited one by one, the recital from the local county and the country.
Since the story of Huaihua has spread to major cities in the world.
From south to north, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River basin.
Cities large and small on both sides of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, where transportation is developed and news spreads quickly, have erupted in a wave of people of different scales moving north.
A large number of rangers, unemployed refugees, and local 'heroes and heroes' have gone north.
The law and order situation on the straight road suddenly deteriorated.
In just half a month, at least 100 homicides due to robberies have been reported in various places.
These things don't matter.
The magistrate can solve it.
In many cases, there is no need for the magistrate to intervene as a 'dynamic civil society organization' to settle the matter and turn the culprit to the government.
For a time, rangers from all over the country have become the maintainers of local law and order.
With harsh, cruel and cold-blooded methods, they attacked all outsiders who dared to put their claws into their territory.
Many merchants and wealthy households suddenly felt that their protection fees were not paid in vain, and the heroes of their hometowns were reliable at the critical moment.
Many rangers who were originally unknown and even rejected by others found the value of life overnight and became praised as 'chivalrous'.
For Liu Che, the real trouble was the complaints of the southern landlords and bureaucrats.
Especially in the Qilu region.
Now, Shangshutai is full of scribbled recitals and petitions from Qilu officials, gentry, and celebrities.
The people who can stuff the recitals and letters directly into Shangshutai are not ordinary people.
These guys, one by one, 'Gaozu system', make up the households. In order to make the people feel free to get their place, "the people are deceived by evil and evil, and the people are impetuous, and the local officials are able to control it, the society is in danger of overturning, and the country is in danger of being depressed."
Well. At this time, they didn't care about what Qin Fa or Wudao was.
It's just that......
Why did Liu Che listen to these scumbags?
These greedy people, who have always been able to pay lip service, desperately exploit and oppress tenants and civilians, and are eager to turn all the local people into their own domestic slaves.
If it weren't for Liu Che's concern for the voice of public opinion and the special situation in the Qilu region, Liu Che would have wanted to clean up this scum a long time ago.
"All stay in the middle ......" After listening to Ji Di's recitation, Liu Che didn't even think about it, so he gave an order.
"All stay in the middle ......" Ji Di was slightly stunned, and then he bowed and said: "No!" ”
Of course Ji Huang knows the meaning of all the stays.
It's like 'throw them in the trash.'"
Always. The recitals and the letters of local celebrities left by the emperor basically did not even have the qualifications to be archived, and they were all thrown into the storehouses of Shangshutai to become moldy, and then, one day, they were taken by several small eunuchs to be burned as firewood.
However, Ji Di has no sympathy for these Qilu landlords and bureaucrats.
As Shang Shuling, he is. There was a lot of information and intelligence that came into play.
Therefore, Ki Dian knows deeply. The gentry, landlords, and powerful aristocrats of Qilu have squeezed the local people to a certain extent.
According to the report of the officers of the Lou Ship General Yamen, such as Bo, Sima, and Wei Wei, who were stationed in Jiaoxi and Jiaodong, "Since the beginning of the day, the people have been moving to the sea, and ants have come to them, and they have all climbed up, fallen into the water and died. Two or three out of ten ......'
In order to jump onto General Lou's transport ship, the people of Qilu forgot their lives, ignoring the military's repeated warnings and threats, and took advantage of the time to open the ship. Jumping onto deck, or grabbing a ship's cable, an average of two or three out of ten people fell overboard and died.
Ji Di's first feeling after reading these reports was: The people are really not afraid of death, and the power of gold is too terrifying!
But then, the report sent back by Danong and Xiuyiwei from Qilu made Ji Di reverse his three views and cognition.
Da Nong reported that in the Qilu area, the land rent of tenants is more than 60%.
This is nothing, except for Guanzhong, the land rent of that county is not like this?
Otherwise, what will the landlords do to make money?
But the problem is that in addition to paying rent to the landlord, the local tenants in Qilu also have to bear taxes and forced labor.
That's a bit too much!
The tenants themselves had no land or little land, so they rented the landlord's land.
In the north, the landlords exploited the people on the one hand, but on the other hand, they also sheltered the people and assumed certain social responsibilities.
For example, helping tenants pay taxes and make money.
After all, everyone has to rely on these tenants to work hard to cultivate the land and produce more grain.
Tenants are the most valuable property of the landlord.
In Daishang Yanzhao and other places, some military generals and princes would select some strong, loyal and honest sons from their tenants as their own soldiers and retainers.
Therefore, the families of these people are given preferential treatment, exempted from land rent, and distributed wine and meat during the New Year's holidays.
Almost all of the Northland Knight families treat their tenants like this.
Because they know that in the event of war, the most reliable ones are those fathers and children who have grown up with them and trained together.
As for Guanzhong, it is even more exaggerated, in order to buy people's hearts, the emperor of the Liu family directly reduced the fake land tax in Shanglin Yuan to 30%. Today, the people of Sixian Garden are simply exempt from taxes.
This makes the landlord in Guanzhong serve his tenants like an uncle.
Because the people were a little dissatisfied, they went directly to the government to submit an application and went to Shanglin Yuan to plow the land for the emperor.
And what about Qilu?
These guys really tried every possible way to exploit their tenants, and the ultimate goal was to force these tenants to become their slaves.
Originally, Ji Di naively thought that these guys would do such immoral things at most.
But the report of the embroidered clothes and guards refreshed Ji Di's three views.
made him almost a little impatient to ask the Son of Heaven for his life, to inspect Qilu, and to punish these tyrannical, extravagant and arrogant people.
According to the report of Xiuyiwei, the landlords of Qilu are strong and powerful, in addition to extorting tenants in terms of taxes and taxes.
There are also countless new tricks played.
Such as. The landlords of Ludi stipulated that the tenants were not allowed to harvest the weeds on the ridges, because the grass was the property of the landlord, and anyone who harvested it without permission would have to pay compensation.
I don't even let go of the grass, and I want to take a handful of it.
The miserliness of the Lu people. It was really an eye-opener for Jidian.
But that's not all.
Some well-known celebrities, such as those surnamed Kong, love to lend, and the interest rate is not high.
But he is a big bucket in and a small bucket out......
Therefore, by now, the old Kong family has been in Qufu and owns thousands of hectares of land......
This made Ji Di a little suspicious, if Kong Zhongni knew. Will they crawl out of the grave to settle accounts with these guys.
The landlord of Ludi is already ** to no friends.
Jinan's Haoqiang is even more powerful.
People don't play these fictitious things anymore, and they directly use the power of the government to exploit tenants and homesteaders, and do everything possible to oppress these civilians.
According to the report of Xiuyiwei, now, there are a total of 300 landlords left in the entire Jinan country.
The rest of the people are almost all tenants, slaves and maids, and "if the small people are the slightest unsatisfactory, they will often be lynched and the government will ask questions."
Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, is the biggest black hand in all this.
Embroidered clothes guard report: Wang Bi time envoy eunuch. Da Suo Lishu, where his birthday, the birthday of the Queen Mother and the birthday of the sons. At every turn, the people are recruited to repair the palace room, and their passing of the law makes the people's grievances boil, and the people are like steaming and cooking.
Even the remaining 300 landlords in Jinan dared to be angry with Liu Piguang, and had to send a large amount of money to women every year for bribes. to prevent Liu Piguang from committing crimes.
Liu Piguang's brother, Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, is almost where to go.
But Liu Wei's arrogance is still more than Liu Piguang!
He exploited the people under his rule every year, but he couldn't satisfy his extravagance and profligacy, so he simply did. took out the official position and title, and auctioned it at a clear price.
The kings of the Qilu region, Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, and Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, are still like a little bit.
But it's more presentable than his brothers.
Ji Di felt that in ancient times, these kings could be compared with Ji Xuan.
Under the pressure of these people, Ji Di felt that if he was a citizen of Qilu, he would definitely run away if he had the opportunity.
Even if it's death, run!
It's just that this Liu clan's internal affairs can't be commented on if Ji Di is not good.
After all, the East Palace has always felt that the river crabs of the Liu clan are very important. Wu Chu's mess, don't happen again.
Liu Che looked at Ji Di, Liu Che knew very well that Ji Di's temperament was as jealous as hatred, and he was very sympathetic to the tragic experience of the people at the bottom.
For example, in his previous life, Ji Di was able to resist the decree and even exceed, open the official warehouse, and give relief to the victims, and countless people survived.
"Shang Shu Ling ......" Liu Che stood up and said, "Qing said, what if I send my master father Yan and Gongsun Hong to Qilu to verify the local Haoqiang and merchants' property?" ”
If the master father Yan and Gongsun Hong go to Qilu, Liu Che has no doubt that these two goods can turn the sky upside down.
The master father is in history, but he has achieved the achievement of being a 'crusher of princes and kings'.
As for Gongsun Hong, with his skill, he will definitely be able to play the powerful landlords of Qilu and the princes and kings ********.
When Ji Di heard this, he was startled, he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, the East Palace is ......."
Liu Che nodded in agreement.
The reason why he was able to endure Qilu's scum uncles until now, in addition to being afraid of public opinion, was the empress dowager of the East Palace.
The old lady seemed to have experienced Wu Chu's rebellion and no longer wanted to see any Liu infighting.
Liu Che put forward several gentle suggestions such as 'sending Imperial Doctor Shi to inspect Qilu' or 'envoy visiting Qilu', but the old lady vetoed them.
Therefore, as long as the old lady is still alive, unless the princes and kings of Qilu rebel, Liu Che is really not moving.
However, Liu Che is not unable to clean up those scum.
It's just that now, Liu Che can't spare his hands.
As long as the big thing in Huaihua is settled, Liu Che will close the door and let the mistake go.
You must know that Chao Wrong is not a matter of one or two days and muttering 'continue the great cause of the first emperor to cure the lawlessness of the princes and kings'.
"Ji Qing ......" Liu Che said: "Qing went to the Yamen of the general of the building boat for me, and told the general of the building boat, Xu Han: The people of Qilu and the people, if you want to cross the east by boat, don't think it is harmful, order the general of the building boat, increase the number of ships by fifteen, and send them to the ports of Qilu. Then Pyongyang ordered the Joseon monarch and the king of Han to order them to do a good job of accepting the people and resettlement! ”
"No!" Ji Di nodded and took the order.
This is the only feasible expedient solution at the moment.
After Ji Di left, Liu Che sat down in front of a desk and instructed the left and right: "Pen and ink wait!" ”
The eunuchs on the left and right immediately took pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Liu Che picked up the pen, wrote an edict on the paper, blew the ink, and then covered the seal of the Son of Heaven, handed it to Wang Dao, and ordered: "Pick it up and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Officer's Residence!" ”
It's a book-making.
Zuo legend: The king of Zhou, the ritual is also.
Xunzi said: Praise it from the sky, which one should use it with the mandate of heaven?
The later theory of salt and iron also said: Therefore, the method of making the king is as clear as the sun and the moon.
To put it simply, the difference between a book and an edict is that the former can only be seen by the officials, and it is an order of the emperor who proclaims a hundred officials, formulates a system of etiquette or establishes a department, while the latter is an order of the emperor that is publicly announced, proclaimed to the world, and circulated throughout the country.
Half a month later, this book arrived in Xinhua City.
Bo Shi, the general of Huaihua County, led the Huaihua civil and military officials and the nobles of the Huaihua people to kneel in his official residence to receive this order.
"I heard that in the past, Emperor Yu divided Kyushu and ruled the world, and after Xia, he ruled the world for 600 years; Tang Wu was divided, and the country enjoyed for hundreds of years; And King Wen with gifts, King Wu with virtue, the Zhou family with this king of the world for 800 years, now I admire the rule of three generations of kings, chasing the virtue of Yao Shun. Lingchen Huaihua County Guardian General Wei Shi is the governor of Andong Prefecture, and the whole territory of Huaihua, Zhenfan, Han, and Wofu is pacified, and five captains are placed below: Yichen Tangyi Hou Shizi must be the governor of Huaihua County and concurrently serve as the governor of the west; With the minister long waiting for Huaihua Lingzhi as the governor of the northwest; Zhang Yu, the captain of the Korean Guard, was the captain of the Joseon Dynasty; With the Korean lieutenant An Guo as the Korean governor; With the second prince as the northern governor. Qing and others should be clear, use the will of the Taigong, turn razing into summer, and protect my Chinese Miao descendants! ”
The messenger of the decree was Zhang Cigong, the younger brother of Yizong, who was also sent by Liu Che to Huaihua to gild this time, and by the way, he had the title of the northern governor, but in fact, he came here with more than 1,000 Yulin guards to keep an eye on the gold mining and resettlement work in the whole territory of Huaihua, so as to prevent the Chen Chan and Chen Xu brothers from getting away.
For this reason, Liu Che gave Zhang Cigong an order to 'act cheaply, but without going through the order, that is, deprive Chen Xu of his position and escort Chang'an'.
Of course, if Brother Chen Xu does a good job, Liu Che will also be rewarded.
In addition, the greatest function of this book was to clarify the establishment of the Imperial Palace, a famous colonial institution in Chinese history.
In the Han and Tang dynasties, the Western Regions Protectorate and other capitals were actually the vanguard of the Chinese Dynasty's foreign expansion and colonization.
The famous Ban Chao, who threw his pen from Rong, protected the Western Regions with no more than two or three thousand people, and laid a solid foundation for the expansion of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.
And the capital of the Tang Dynasty, directly crossed the green ridge and pushed China's troops to Central Asia, Zhaowu Jiu surname or something, in fact, it was China's protectorate and subject country.
If it weren't for Li Longji's second offense, with the situation at the time and the combat strength of the Tang Army, even if there were three more Tanros, the Tang Army would be able to push the green back.
Now, Liu Che has incorporated the entire Huaihua, North Korea, and South Korea into the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, just to test whether the colonial system similar to the Metropolitan Protectorate meets the needs of reality. (To be continued.) )
