Chapter 467: One small step for the emperor, one big step for Monday

Mr. Lan thought that no one dared to challenge him after he was raised by the banner of champion Hou. After all, he was a group of people who were fighting for the fight. Although he was only dozens of miles away from the capital, many people had never seen the gate of Kaifeng in their entire lives!

Just by their side, how big a storm can it cause?

Mr. Lan was full of confidence and even asked the yamen runners behind him to pick up the iron ruler and stick. He said viciously: "If you are not reasonable with these troublemakers, they don't know anything else, they only know the stick! Beat me hard! If you hit someone, you will be responsible for the school!"

After he said this, the yamen runners really rushed up, waved their weapons, and beat them up in a row. The young farmer was beaten to death with blood and knelt down and begged for mercy.

The other people were also scared and all lowered their heads. They had to endure any dissatisfaction.

Mr. Lan is right. The court gave it to the land. Don’t worry about how much it is. It’s always the things you give, so why are you so care about it!

But some people also understand that if the land given is not enough and not good enough, and they have to bear heavy taxes, corvee service, and work hard for a year and can't lose anything, it's better not to give it to you!

Everyone dares to be angry but dares not speak out, so they can only admit their bad luck.

"It's still like this at the foot of the emperor. I really don't know what will happen to other places!"

Ye Hua sighed very much.

Such a small person was really not worth his personal action, but he signed up and was his own student. As a teacher, can he ignore his disciples?

"Come on, arrest them all!"

Ye Hua roared, waved his hand, and rushed up with the guards he came... Mr. Lan found that he was bragging quickly. He really met the legendary "Master" champion Hou, and not only met the champion Hou, but also met the Three Sessions Envoy Li Gu, not only met Li Gu, but also met the Emperor!

A small village, a trivial distribution of land, alarmed the most powerful figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Mr. Lan didn't know whether to be happy or cry... He was completely confused.

"Your Majesty, I think it's worth studying this case. After all, clearing the land of a mu is related to the basis of all fiscal and tax reforms. If it is not handled properly, it will not only waste the opportunity given by heaven, but also cause endless disasters."

Chai Rong nodded reluctantly. This is because Ye Hua’s special identity is not easy to strip him of face, otherwise Chai Rong would be too lazy to care!

The emperor is rich all over the world, and he is in charge of so many people and so many things.

It is definitely impossible to achieve absolute fairness when clearing the land of Zhangzhang. Chai Rong is very clear. The embroidered messenger also sent him a lot of secret reports... Chai Rong felt that even if there were some mistakes, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in general, and it was far greater than the disadvantages!

Governing the country requires meticulousness, but you cannot make a big deal. Ye Hua is nitpicking!

Chai Rong asked inadvertently, even a little impatient.

But as he asked, the Emperor's brows became a knot, and it became bigger and bigger, and the Sichuan character pattern on his forehead became deeper and deeper... When he finally settled the accounts, Chai Rong realized that it was not a small matter at all!

Mr. Lan’s name is Lan Dong. He is the cousin of the yamen runner Wang Tou. The father-in-law of the yamen runner Wang Tou was still a poor man a few years ago. Their family has a lot of people, and there are five sons alone. They are so poor that they can’t even mention their daughter-in-law.

Coincidentally, Guo Wei implemented the equalization of land, and Wang Tou's father-in-law and his family got almost a thousand acres of land, and they suddenly evolved into small landlords. They worked hard and worked hard for two years. Not only did they eat enough, but they also built a house. Several sons talked about their daughter-in-law one after another.

Next, Ye Hua chose to build a school in the east of the city. Wang Tou's father-in-law was quite puzzled. He took out 200 acres of land, planted vegetables for the school, and then brought the swamp that the school didn't want to raise pigs, and then sold the pigs to the school...

In just over three years, Wang Tou's father-in-law accumulated a thousand-yuan property and became a well-known wealthy family. The villagers and neighbors admired each other very much, and they would give them a thumbs up when they mentioned them.

The story ends here, it is still very positive.

But this time, the school land was abolished and the land was completely divided equally, and Wang Tou's father-in-law had an idea.

One thousand acres of land were still too small. He took a fancy to the fields beside the Bian River, which not only could irrigate, but also ponds and fish farming... There are more and more teachers and students in Dazhou School, and the various foods and vegetables consumed every day are amazing numbers.

If you can get everything, how much money would it be!

After thinking about it, he decided to cooperate with his son-in-law Wang Tou and eat almost two thousand acres of land at a low price.

He booked more than 10,000 acres of land, and he didn't have enough left to share with others, so Wang Tou thought of Lan Dong.

He asked his father-in-law to give out 200 trump cards and gave Lan Dong, and promised to give him a bonus every year after the matter was accomplished. In this way, Lan Dong jumped out and helped divide the land under the banner of the Dazhou Academy.

He deliberately measured with small steps and gave the people less land. Naturally, he could keep all the fields that Wang Tou's father-in-law needed... and they also agreed that the irrigated land would be sold to Wang Tou's father-in-law in the name of flooded land. It was just a word, and the price was ten times smaller!

Two thousand acres of good land can be sold at the market price of 18,000 guan, but when they get it, it is only worth 1,500 guan!

With this item alone, Wang Tou and his father-in-law earned 16,000 guan!

If you deduct one of the items given to Lan Dong and then the processing points, there will be at least 13,000 guan!

Value, it's really worth it!

A captain from Kaifeng Prefecture can make so much money by dividing land at one time and making one business!

He is not even an official, but he is not ruthless when he becomes greedy for money!

Chai Rong was so angry that he really wanted to issue an order to cut off all three people, and even their family members could not be spared!

"The court abolished all kinds of official fields, in order to reduce the burden on the people. As a result... the court cuts the flesh, but the people did not get the benefits, but instead feeds the mice below!" Chai Rong gritted his teeth, "Mr. Li, what do you say?"

Li Gu hurriedly said, "These three people must be severely punished. The old minister will arrange for officials to clear the land again, and there will be no mistakes again." He secretly wiped his sweat, which was shocking to hear.

At this time, Li Si stood up.

"Mr. Li, is this just this place? Will there be the same disadvantages in other places?"

Do you still need to ask? Li Gu had a dark face, "Sir Li, I will urge the officials below to do whatever they want. The ills may be inevitable, but you cannot knock down a boat of people with one oar, clear the land, and divide the land equally. The people will still benefit. It is impossible to give up the food because of choking!"

Li Gu obviously touched Chai Rong's pulse, and he said it for the emperor, trying to block the mouth of his brother Ye Hua.

"Mr. Li, from the overall situation, what you are talking about makes sense, but based on the case in front of us, we might as well calculate whether the people have benefited or suffered losses." Ye Hua said calmly.

Chai Rong's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Okay, let's do it according to what Ye Qing said!"

Because Landong's division was unfair, a landless people could get one hundred acres, but in fact only sixty acres... Some people say that it is time to be content to get sixty acres, don't be busy. These sixty acres have to be taxed on one hundred acres.

The original land tax was one tenth. When I put Ding Fu in, there were miscellaneous items, which were consumed. The total amount was twice that of the land tax. In addition, there was also the exemption from labor. After a miscellaneous amount, more than 40% of the income was given to the court, and only more than half of it was left. But if I only got 60% of the land, that is, the people would have to lose 40% of the income... After a year of hard work, after deducting the taxes to the court, the rest would not be enough to eat and drink!

If there is a disaster year, or if there is a relationship of trouble, and the family will get sick, such farmers will go bankrupt in an instant and become refugees... The so-called clearing of the land and making the people profitable will become nothing!

After the accounts were settled here, the emperor and the prime minister's faces were extremely ugly... They vowed to benefit the country and the people, but they were completely corrupted by a captain, a small landlord, and a school account. It was too disproportionate. In the eyes of the emperor, these people were as humble as ants, and they were really not worth mentioning.

But when it comes to ordinary people, especially the mountain villagers.

One of the headmasters is Kaifeng Prefecture, the accountants of the Dazhou Academy, and the people who are all in the world. In addition, the powerful landlords, no one dares to offend these three people.

After suffering losses and grievances, I can only endure them. What else can I do?

Although Chai Rong was unwilling to admit it, the emperor was still like this. What would happen if he went to a place far away from the sky and the emperor? The reforms he had worked hard and made would be completely destroyed by these flies and ants!

hateful!

His Majesty the Emperor was furious and he suddenly saw Ye Hua!

Don’t be alive, you can clear the land and spread the stakes into the acres. You have a share! Also, Lan Dong claims to be your disciple. If the disciple makes a mistake, don’t escape if he becomes a master!

"Ye Qing, I want you to come up with a solution to the disadvantages. If you can't take it out, I will punish you for your lack of strict teaching!"

Ye Hua is speechless, Your Majesty, can we just explain some reason?

I have nothing to do with the surname Lan. How can I blame me for him? Besides, the surname Lan is also a bastard. Why don’t you say that you are the emperor’s accountant and are in charge of the emperor’s school? What do you think I’m doing? Is the three words “Champion Hou” more effective than the emperor?

Ye Hua didn’t know yet. In the countryside, the people could not know the Emperor Zhou, but they could not ignore the Champion Hou!

"Oh, Your Majesty, I can't think of a good way for a while. However, it is really inaccurate to measure whatever step you use. I think a batch of standard sizes should be made and distributed to all places as the only measuring tool."

Li Si hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong of Tang used his own step as five feet to preach the world. I think Your Majesty can follow Emperor Taizong of Tang!"

Chai Rong's eyes lit up and he happily strode his palm, "Okay, let's take my steps as the basis to measure the world again!" He quickly stepped down the Danban, just outside the Golden Palace, His Majesty the Emperor straightened his body, walked dragons and tigers, and took a step firmly...
