Do you really want to kill half of the people? It’s not true. Not long after Zhang Juzheng was buried, Bailang ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to take action and start clearing the fields outside the capital. "No matter whose fields it is, including the Huangzhuang, they will be cleared! I'm sorry.
We want to see who dares to take my money!" Bai Lang knew of course that the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Manor were trying their best to get money, and they would definitely get much more than what was given to him.
Moreover, civil and military officials, especially nobles, are definitely annexing fields everywhere in the suburbs of Beijing and even Hebei. These are all clearly not paying taxes and not serving. Bailang only draws circles on the map, but the eunuchs and Jinyi Guardians in charge of Qingtian
The numbers that came up were wrong with the numbers he circled on the map, so he immediately sent out the third group to count. If there were any mistakes, the entire team that made the mistake would be killed.
This kind of behavior can be called cruel. He is just a slave of the emperor. Besides, he always seems to be hostile to the civil servants. It seems that he should be applauded? But he should not be applauded, because there is really a river of blood, and the emperor is still sitting calmly at the Meridian Gate.
The viewing was completely in the style of Taizu and Chengzu, looking like they had seen too many fights on the battlefield. These two Ming emperors made the civil servants and military generals tremble with fear.
At the same time in Qingtian, Hebei Province, Bailang commanded the three battalions and directly asked the admiral eunuchs and the admiral's nobles to order troops. The emperor was sitting on the ordering platform, holding his belt with both hands and still in full military uniform. At this time, the three of them were in full military uniform.
The camp is not in ruins yet. In any case, the Mongols have reached the vicinity of BJ before, and Zhang Juzheng has also seriously reorganized the three camps in the past ten years. "It is barely passable. From now on, the rotation system of the army will be restored, and the three camps will be stationed in turn."
Xuanda. Then, I want to get back together."
After Bai Lang finished speaking, he returned to the palace. In the Xiyuan, the courtiers immediately got into a quarrel. Almost all the civil servants opposed the retaliation. Bai Lang sat behind the curtain and listened to their words in silence. The next moment he issued an order: "Search the house!"
"
It turned out that the dispute between Hebei and Qingtian on the outskirts of Beijing came out the day before yesterday. Dongchang secretly reported it to Wanli/Bailang, so today he took the opportunity to take advantage of it. The princes and marquis who occupied large areas of Hebei and Beijing suburbs had previously agreed to give up.
They handed over all the land - without changing the ownership, but they had to pay taxes, and they had to perform labor services and could also pay labor money. The most important thing was that the land rent was fixed, and the land tax was paid among the income of these princes.
Tax.
This group of people pretended to be dead, so Bai Lang ordered the house to be searched. The emperor had chopped off hundreds of heads at the Meridian Gate before. Although they were probably from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it was enough to prove that this emperor was a ruthless person, especially
They are not afraid of blood and have a heart of stone. But what is a noble person? Do these people have soldiers and power? They are just idiots. So Bai Lang came to watch the Jinyi guards ransack the house, and all the titles were cut off, but the people were fine.
Bailang was a benevolent king. He just turned them into common people and didn't kill any of them. He just ordered Shuntian Mansion to report those nobles' complaints and deal with them impartially. He even planned to confiscate these people's houses and leave a few outhouses.
They were given a place to live, and what was even more benevolent was that they actually left about three thousand taels of silver for their family to live on. Everything else was confiscated, including various land deeds, from fields to various shops in the capital.
All the shops were sold to the public, and the land deeds were ruthlessly distributed to the tenant farmers who farmed on the fields, making them self-cultivated farmers. Even civil servants were hit by this attack, and many of them came from their hometowns.
Hebei, of course, is also a local powerhouse. This time, they all have to pay for the grain as a team. Bai Lang made a metaphor, "From now on, all the land in the world will be cleared, and the officials and gentry will pay for the grain as a team. There will be no exemption or exemption for those who violate the rules."
Treat it as rebellion, barbarians!"
At the same time, the emperor calculated on the entire map of the emperor's world, counted all the plain land as acres, counted them into each county, and directly issued a money and grain quota to each county - not high, but they could all be harvested.
Salt is all returned to the government. The official price is determined by the market price and the retail price in various places. The merchants earn freight for them - and the merchants who transport salt are tax-free. As for the long-standing problem of collecting money and grain - Jiangnan, Bailang is preparing to launch a campaign.
If we cancel this major case, we will cancel all the honorary titles of Jiangnan scholars at that time, and we will not be afraid of their dissatisfaction.
The focus of the attack was on the local families of traditional officials and gentry, such as those who had been Jinshi for generations. The first to be severely attacked was the Xu family of Songjiang Prefecture - who made Bailang have a deeper impression on them.
Sure enough, after the Bailang government decree was carried out, not to mention the local officials' overt and covert disobedience, the memorials from the officials and other officials above the temple were very irritating. In one sentence, your emperor's decree violated the ancestral system and was harmful to the country.
Raising scholars is unkind. These officials knelt outside the door, as if they were having a grand ceremony. Bailang also rarely went to the Forbidden City. After leaving the door, he looked at the officials and said something lightly. The voice was not very loud but it spread directly throughout the country.
To the ears of those present, this is a supreme magical skill.
"The ancestors are not worthy of the law!" He said this. "Times have changed. In the past, when Taizu was the time, there were few available talents in the world, so he treated his scholars preferentially. Today, such preferential treatment has become a cancer, and of course it must be cut off. You
When you can retreat, don't threaten me with this." None of the more than a hundred officials were willing to leave, and among them, some officials read aloud the memorial they had written, in which they called Bai Lang a coward and a tyrant.
"Forget it, benevolence will be rewarded. Come, you guys will have their imperial sticks beaten here, and give them to me carefully. Well." Bailang looked at the officials below, recalled the names of these people, and pointed his fingers.
He ordered a few and said, "Take these few away and drive them back, and let the rest go after half of them are dead with the rod." The little eunuch behind Bai Langming moved a chair and sat here to watch the collective spanking.
"Let's have some snacks and tea." Bai Langming, the hands of the little eunuch and the palace maid who brought the snacks and tea were trembling, "You are really useless, that's all. If you are afraid, just hide behind the door and don't look at it." The Han general filed in.
, the admiral of Dongchang was Zhang Cheng at this time. He wanted to admonish the emperor, but Wanli/Bailang glanced at him sideways. He was so cold that he didn't dare to say another word.
The people below were being pulled off their pants and spanked. Bai Lang saw it with his own eyes. These burly generals didn't dare to play tricks. In fact, Bai Lang didn't care about their physical strength, weak strength or clever strength.
Qiao Jin beat people to death. Today, Bai Lang is here to establish his authority. Several cabinet elders have also rushed over to plead with Bai Lang. "It doesn't matter, after killing half of them, I will naturally let the other half go." Minister of the Ministry of Personnel
Where are they? We can discuss who will fill these vacant official positions."
Bai Lang glanced at the old official and said, "There are many Hebei officials who are close to the people. Dare to violate the law? Just kill them." By the way, he summoned Zhang Cheng from Dongchang, "These people below will all have their homes confiscated. I will not belittle them if I am still kind.
If you are an official, just confiscate your home. Remember to copy the money according to the official rank I gave you, and send all the money to the Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Send someone with the Jin Yiwei to inspect the stalls in Hebei, and the officials who violate the rules will be captured directly.
Any local powerful man who dares to resist bribery will have his father's family killed."
