Chapter 221
"Your Majesty, Li Mingxin of the Li family in the southeast is here, this is the title deed they took the initiative to hand over and the deposit certificate of 20 million taels of silver in the Imperial Bank. "
Wang Chengen was unexpected, and Li Mingxin, a figure with great influence in the southeast, was also ready to surrender.
"This is expected, they have secretly contacted Jinyiwei and provided a lot of valuable information to the Shadow Special Forces. "
Zhu Youzhen is now very comfortable, and finally there are no gentry jumping up and down in the empire.
After the imperial army cleanly wiped out all the core forces of Wei Guogong, no one in the entire Jiangnan came out to uphold justice.
Before the new army of the empire did not move, all of them were impassioned, and they were all messengers of justice and Confucian fighters.
Now everyone has become a soft-footed shrimp, and when they cut off their heads, they are full of ugliness!
The people of Jiangnan appreciated the daily life of a man who was once high, and the hypochondria was really too serious.
In the face of the death of "937", in the face of the destruction of the family, he can no longer stand up.
Many of the gentry thought that the people would lament their deaths, but all they got were rotten leaves and rotten eggs.
The common people now wish that all these gentry were dead!
I used to think that it was the problem of the imperial court, but it turned out that these gentry were the moths of the empire.
Without these gentry, everyone has a job to do.
The Son of Heaven was very merciful, and the wages or grain he gave were all fine grains.
The elderly will be supported by the Imperial Empire, and there is a special nursing home.
The social outlook has changed dramatically, and the spirit has come out.
There was no hunger, life was rushing, and the enthusiasm of the common people directly stunned the so-called gentry elite.
Many gentry who did not reach the affected thought that the empire needed them to come out to appease people's hearts.
Unexpectedly, the empire simply ignored their existence, and their status was hit by a historic blow.
The village chiefs of each village are no longer officially appointed, but elected by the people themselves, and then stamped with the seal of the Ming Empire.
And the appointment is no longer limited to the gentry, as long as you think this guy can do it, it doesn't matter if you are educated or not, you can be the village head.
What's more, as long as the war subsides in the south of the Yangtze River, official roads, bridges, and canals are repaired, and the work is in full swing.
At the same time, the Empire also announced that the cultivated land would be under the control of the Imperial Estate.
All the people who farmed in the Imperial Imperial Village were paid one stone of grain per acre per laborer, according to the calculation that Jiangnan could harvest three times a year.
One person and one acre is three stones of grain, and each person has a preliminary estimate of three acres, almost one person has about one meal of grain a year.
There are at least two laborers in the family, which is equivalent to two tons of grain, and they really don't have to worry about eating.
After the grain is solved and the people's food and clothing are no longer worried, as long as they farm when the farm is busy, they can still use the surplus grain to feed poultry and livestock when they are not busy.
Moreover, there is no tax on these grains and poultry and livestock.
In fact, everyone who understands it has already understood that the Ming Empire has canceled the agricultural tax in disguise!
The problem of ensuring the food of the common people is guaranteed.
What's more, raising poultry and livestock, one can satisfy their own meat, and at the same time can sell it for money, which is also an income.
Poultry and livestock at home, the woman in the family can do it.
Men can still work in the slack time, and there is not much pressure on the economy at all.
In the past, everyone knew that the common people in the north had a good life, at least they had solved the problem of food and clothing.
They are also skeptical.
But now that the imperial army came, after directly defeating the local tyrants and inferior gentry, they suddenly found that the pressure on them was gone.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.
In fact, the common people are really easy to solve, and because of this, Li Mingxin, who is a local tyrant with a little knowledge, will kneel and lick.
None of the emperors of all dynasties dared to play like Zhu Youzhen.
Only Zhu Youzhen dares to play like this, people have a system, this is the confidence!
Wang Chengen also feels that the great cause of Huangzhuang can continue to be developed! (If you read violent novels, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)
I am also confident that he will have a good evaluation in history in the future!
I am also full of motivation to do things!
Zhu Youzhen has to sigh that people nowadays really care about leaving a name in history.
It was a group of eunuchs who were working vigorously, as if they were full of strength.
"These gentry are cheap, if I don't show my muscles, they don't know the power of the empire. []
Now it's not an honest handover, so why bother!"
"The main thing is that Lord Tian has also been a lobbyist, saying that Li Mingxin has indeed provided a lot of valuable information for Jinyiwei and Shadow in the southeast. "
Wang Chengen knew in his heart that if they didn't give these land deeds, the empire could easily get them back.
They are already lost dogs, although the war has not yet fully broken out, but Jiangnan is already a role model.
There are few who are not afraid, and how many are really willing to leave their hometowns?
Do you really think the outside world is very fragrant?
If there is no backing from the empire, they go outside, and they are also fat sheep in the eyes of others, and they can gather wool at any time.0
"You can let them change their ways and do their duty honestly in the future.
As long as they follow the Empire's statutes, the Empire can protect their property sacrosanct. "
"The old slave thanked the emperor for his grace for them!
If they are still ignorant and interesting, they will die by themselves, and it is no wonder that the emperor will not give them a chance to live. "
Zhu Youzhen laughed in his heart, in fact, Wang Chengen originally wanted to protect these people.
Lao Wang's heart was very simple, thinking that with Li Mingxin's help, the speed of harvesting the land would be faster.
It will also allow Huangzhuang to quickly go to the regular stage and carry out effective cultivation this year.
"Okay, they are all people who know the times, and there is no need to be too coercive. "
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart, if Li Mingxin and the others had really secretly killed the people of the empire, he would have slapped him to death.
This old guy is really weird, although he supports the southeast gentry to force the palace, he doesn't make any efforts, and he always pretends to be sick at critical moments.
After Jinyiwei's investigation, the old guy still has a bit of conscience, and he is not harsh on the tenant farmers in the jurisdiction, and when he encounters natural disasters, he can also come up with some food relief.
It's just lending, and it's not bloodsucking, it's really a contradiction!
As for other local tyrants and inferior gentry, whether you want to kneel and lick it or not, Zhu Youzhen has one word: "Kill!"
will not give these local tyrants and gentry any chance to live, and it is a matter of course to kill people to pay off their debts and pay off their debts.
How much to eat 5.2 times, how much must be spit out to the empire!
"Big companion, now that I know, at any time, it's still the most realistic thing to talk with your fists. These problems of theirs are all used to by the Ming Dynasty. "
Wang Chengen said with a smile: "The emperor is wise and martial, and he will go south in person, it would be strange if they didn't die." "
In his heart, Wang Chengen was already thinking: "How to squeeze the silver out of these surrendered gentry!"
It won't leave them without funds, but the excess funds must not be kept.
The group of gentry brought by Li Mingxin seems to be carefully selected by Li Mingxin, and he is well aware of the policy of the northern part of the empire towards the gentry.
This kind of person who knows the current affairs, Wang Chengen still likes it quite a lot!
With Li Mingxin's help, those hidden local tyrants and inferior gentry have nothing to hide.
It is very conducive to the cleaning of the Hong peel in the southeast and lays a solid foundation for the imperial palace to complete the national planning.
