"My field!"

It was raining heavily. In the heavy rain, an old man was crying loudly in front of the government office. He knelt there and raised his hands from time to time.

"Oh my God, those fields are the ancestral property of our Zhou family!"

"I am ashamed of my ancestors..."

Finally, the person who was crying ran out of energy, but the onlookers... none of them.

This kind of scene was staged everywhere in the early summer of the second year of Qian Sheng. At the beginning, there were still people watching, but now, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Even if there are people watching, the most they can say is the previous sentence.

"I say, sir, please stop complaining. The fields are in someone else's name. They haven't paid a penny of royal grain and national taxes for decades or even centuries. If your fields are not copied, whose fields will be copied? Oh, look at my memory, that field belongs to someone else, what does it have to do with your family?"

I'm not saying that it's just to add insult to injury.

…

"Why……"

Looking at his friend in despair, Zhang Cai just let out a long sigh,

"The fields have been taken away?"

As a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, his name may not be familiar to future generations, but his other name must be known to many people - Jin Shengtan, yes, he is the first criminal who was beheaded in the "Crying Temple Case". He He was named this because after he swore not to serve in the Qing Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty died, he often sighed: "The Jin people are on top, how can a saint not sigh?" From then on, he changed his surname to "Jin" and his given name to "Tan".

However, in another world, he was beheaded as the chief culprit by Zhu Baidi, the governor of Liangjiang, for criticizing the government. He unexpectedly praised the "land grabbing case". He even published an article in the newspaper to support it.

"Take it!"

Li Lizhi sighed.

"I, the Li family, have conspired to use other people's names to control their property. The purpose is not to pay for food, not to do official duties, and all the agencies will be exhausted. But in the end, it was all in vain!"

The agency is so clever!

"When your Majesty ascended the throne, we all said that the Ming Dynasty will be revived, but we have all forgotten. What does the country that your Majesty takes over look like? It is said to be the Ming Dynasty? But in fact, it is no less than Liu Xiu's reconstruction of the Han Dynasty, but many people still Can I not suffer a loss if I look at His Majesty with old eyes?"

Pour a cup of tea for your friend, Jin Shengtan said.

"In the past, we often said that dedication was the most chronic disease of the Ming Dynasty. How many fields were there in the early days of the country? But why did the land become less and less later? With so many people donating, can there be a lot of land? In addition to relying on the "gentry exemption" The privileges "were hidden away from the land. When the land was measured, the squires and subordinates colluded with each other. At most, half of the ten acres of land was measured. At that time, who dared to say?"

"Everyone dares to say it!"

Li Lizhi shook his head and said.

"But no one dares to do it, no one dares to ruin it all, everyone just talks about it, except Jinshang."

"Because I am actually the founding king of the country. There is very little land dedicated under the name of the generals in the army. There is no common interest. Naturally, there is no scruple in doing things!"

Interest groups!

If you are not bound by the interests of interest groups, it will naturally be easier to do things.

"Besides, the confiscated land was allocated to military households. Even if there were tributes in the name of honorable ministers, the officers and soldiers under his command did not. They were all waiting for the court to allocate the land to them after they seized good farmland. Well, would they be happy?"

"Yes! When this knife was cut down, it seemed that public opinion was boiling, but in fact, you haven't seen it. In the past two months, people everywhere went to the government to beat drums and complain about grievances, suing the owner's family for occupying the property, or else they were They gathered around the owner’s door and demanded that the land be withdrawn…”

When mentioning this matter, Zhang Cai also looked helpless. His home was also surrounded by people! More than 6,000 acres of land were "retired".

"I heard that Prince De's Mansion has also withdrawn its land."

After saying that, the two laughed, but their smiles were full of bitterness.

After all, what is being withdrawn is fields, which is obviously money!

"King De is not exempt from the common deeds. However, from my perspective, this is only the first step. Without the protection of the squire, all the fields will be exposed. The next step should be to count the fields. Our Majesty, but

A master who takes one step counts as ten steps is very different from the late emperor!"

Comparing this Shang with the late Emperor?

For some reason, both the speaker and the listener suddenly wanted to laugh.

Emperor Xianzhuang Lie was simply... broken.

Not to mention anything else, as soon as one side ascends the throne, the other side will first get rid of the eunuchs and then overthrow the cabinet.

He regarded the members of the cabinet at that time as "treacherous assistants", resigned and left, and then replaced them with new ones. Emperor Chongzhen, who wanted to serve the country and stay in the palace for the rest of his life, did not know much about his ministers, so he proposed ten cabinets

Candidates for ministers are then selected by divination and drawing lots.

Cabinet Assistant!

To actually choose by drawing lots, this and that are state affairs, it’s obviously a joke!

In this way, it actually took him seventeen years to finish the Ming Dynasty. If it were another dynasty with internal and external troubles, it would probably be finished in three to five years. For example, once Cixi died in the late Qing Dynasty and a group of royals came to power, it would have been much more

During the conference, "I am Taqing" was played out.

National affairs are not played like this. In contrast, today's situation is simple. Although a group of thieves were killed in the capital, many of them were retained. There were both Conglong heroes and those from the two capitals in the cabinet.

Six ministries and local senior officials.

As soon as the cabinet list came out, all the gentry in the world secretly said that His Majesty's methods are so sophisticated that he is indeed the master who will win the world immediately. Comparing this emperor with the late emperor is really bullying the late emperor. At least he should be compared with Emperor Gao and Cheng Zu.

Emperors compete, then there is a competition!

After laughing, Zhang Cai looked at his friend and asked.

"Then what are your plans next?"

"Intend……"

Li Lizhi was silent for a moment, and then said.

"What are your plans? I'm afraid there is no place for my younger brother in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he gets some land, he has been expelled from his official position, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he is not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations. Three generations..."

Three generations!

This is doomed to come to an end. Even if the Li family has been in business for generations, they can't afford to have no one win the election for three generations. In the past, they were protected by the master's family, but what about the future?

"Hey, time and luck..."

Apart from such sighs, Zhang Caizhen didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the two people in the pavilion were speechless. After a moment, Li Lizhi suddenly laughed.

"It's time, luck, and timing. I have nothing to complain about. I plan to go overseas!"

"Going overseas?"

Zhang Cai said in surprise.

"Yes, I heard someone say that even exiled prisoners can be useful in the outer seas. Maybe there will be a chance of improvement there. Besides..."

Lowering his voice, Li Lizhi said.

"I heard that after the King of Tang requested an order to move overseas, Your Majesty intends to feudal the King of Tang overseas! Maybe, this is my opportunity!"

"What feudalism?"

Zhang Cai said in surprise.
