It has been nearly four months since Fusu came to Chudi.
During this period, he worked hard in the fields and devoted himself to promoting the idea of "letting the head of Guizhou work in the fields". He went to the countryside from time to time to conduct secret investigations, and indeed discovered many connections. In the past few months, he punished dozens of local officials and powerful officials in accordance with the law.
The folk customs have changed.
Just as Fusu Fuyu was counting the land deeds collected from the countryside, a petty official said outside the door: "Eldest Young Master, an edict came from Xianyang recently. The order said that in mid-August,
A major political debate will be held in Xianyang, and the court seems to be interested in restarting the contention of a hundred schools of thought."
"The specific content of the order has been copied by my subordinates. Do you want me to read it?"
"A proposal for great governance?" Fusu raised his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then asked: "When did the imperial court issue the order?"
The clerk said:
"Return to the eldest son."
"The date registered on the order was half a month ago, but the young master was still conducting secret investigations in the local village at that time. The county guard was worried that if we and other minor officials were not careful, the young master's identity would be exposed, so he did not let us inform the young master of the news.
Please forgive me, sir."
Fusu raised his forehead slightly and said indifferently:
"It doesn't matter."
"Send me the order."
"No." The clerk entered the hall and respectfully presented the copied order.
Fusu noticed at this time that there was a sealed secret letter in the hand of the clerk. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Who sent this secret letter?"
The clerk said:
"The officials don't know."
"It is said that it was sent from Xianyang."
Fusu frowned even more tightly.
Before he came to Sishui County, he had intentionally warned him not to send messages casually if it was not important.
First of all, he didn't want to be distracted.
Secondly, I was worried that my father would be dissatisfied.
Coming to Chu to implement the idea of "making the head of Guizhou come to Shitian" was something he managed to win with great difficulty. He wanted to achieve certain results on his own, but if he frequently communicated with officials in Xianyang, it would be easy for his father to think that he lacked independent opinions.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
But he also knows.
Unless something really important happened in Xianyang, Xianyang would not send a message to him. He did not rush to open the sealed letter, but read the orders issued by Xianyang to various counties.
Finished reading.
A strange color appeared in Fusu's eyes.
"Government of civilization?"
"My father finally realized that using Legalism to govern the people is not feasible."
"The world has been in decay for hundreds of years, with great chaos and great rule. Now the Qin Dynasty is in urgent need of a great rule to appease the people who have been war-torn for a long time. This great rule has come at the right time."
"The great discussion held in the Jixia Academy at that time created the prosperity of the various schools of thought, and thus contributed to the perfection and prosperity of the thoughts of the various schools of thought. If this great discussion can be successful, it will definitely allow the thoughts of the various schools of thought to feed back to the Qin Dynasty.
Let Da Qin get out of its current predicament."
"Father is wise."
Fusu stood up and faced Xianyang and bowed respectfully.
immediately.
There was a trace of hesitation on his face.
He actually didn't want to return to Xianyang so early, and the First Emperor would not allow him to go back. However, it would be a lifelong regret for him not to be able to attend such a grand gathering of scholars.
He really didn't want to miss it.
a long time.
Fu Sucai said:
"There are still more than two months until the event starts."
"Right now, the wheat fields in Chudi are about to reach the harvest season. With a large amount of manure provided by public toilets, Surabaya County's harvest will undoubtedly increase a lot this year. Then I will use Surabaya County's increase in revenue and report on the implementation of the new land policy to my father.
Your Majesty."
"Let my father allow me to go back to Xianyang."
Think of this.
Fusu couldn't help but nodded.
He picked up the sealed letter on the eucalyptus, hesitated for a moment, and then used a knife to pry open the seal, untied the rope, and opened the "letter" covered with a wooden slip.
He read the 'letter' from Xianyang carefully.
Finished reading.
Fusu had a strange look on his face.
He frowned and said:
"My tenth brother is getting more and more powerful. He was just a scholar at first, but now he has become a doctor of Daqin. It seems that during my absence in Xianyang, my tenth brother may have done something extraordinary again.
matter."
"but......"
"Wen Tongjun is right."
"I came to Chu to seek merit and fame. There was no problem for a short time. If it lasted for a long time, it would undoubtedly leave my tenth brother empty. Now my tenth brother is a doctor of Da Qin and can already contact people from other schools. If other schools turn to the opposite direction
Having my tenth brother is not good for me."
"In the past few months, as Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Wei and other old ministers have retired one after another, the imperial court is undergoing a large-scale change of officials. If I don't return to Xianyang for a long time, I may allow my tenth brother to get close to these new court officials."
"The court is my greatest advantage. If I lose the favor of the courtiers, my courtship with Sergio will be no match for my tenth brother. The situation is like this, but I can no longer be indecisive."
"I will definitely go back to Xianyang for the grand event in mid-August."
Fusu whispered a few times and made a decision.
He is not worried that he will not be able to go back.
Even if the First Emperor did not agree, he still had another way to go back. Before coming to Surabaya, in order to better secretly investigate local annexations, he specially obtained a new identity in the Shaofu.
Bo Qin!
Originally it was just for secret investigation, but now it comes in handy.
He can use Bo Qin's name to return to Xianyang.
God doesn't know, ghost doesn't know.
He held the secret letter written by Kong Kun in his hand, picked up a knife and scraped off the writing on it. While scraping, he thought of something.
He whispered: "Kong Yu said that the tenth brother had contact with other schools of thought. This gathering of scholars is aimed at hundreds of schools of thought. Does this matter have anything to do with the tenth brother?"
immediately.
Fusu shook his head.
The secret letter above Kong Yu made it very clear.
My tenth brother only went to the Doctor's Academy half a month ago, and the edict issued by his father happened to be half a month ago. This grand gathering of scholars should not be related to my tenth brother, and Qin Luoheng has been living in the past.
He has no contact with other schools of thought at all, and it is even less possible for him to propose such an idea.
If it was really Qin Luoheng who proposed it, Kong Kun would definitely mention it in his secret letter.
But Kong Kun didn't write it, which shows that he was too worried.
All the ink marks on the secret letter had been scraped off. Fusu ignored these matters and picked up a large bamboo slip, looking at it with a gloomy expression.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The text on the bamboo slips is very concise.
But every word I cried blood.
"Chou Bo sold 160 acres of land to the Xiang family, and Bohu used the name of the landowner to farm the land."
'If you don't sue the officials, don't break the promise, if there is any trouble, you will kill yourself and exterminate your clan!'
These two lines of text record the deed of land sales by Zhou Bo, a citizen of Peixian County.
There are nearly ten people recorded in this large bamboo slip like this deed, and this is only the most common one presented by Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County.
Fusu's big hand holding the bamboo slip tightly trembled slightly, his eyes were about to burst out with anger, his throat was gasping for breath, and his whole body was filled with out-of-control anger. He clapped his hands and said: "These damn powerful families in this place!"
"Not only did they buy and sell by force, but they also didn't allow the people to sue the officials and renege on the contract. They even dared to sign a contract, and even directly threatened them personally. Who gave them the courage?"
"How can Great Qin tolerate such lawless people?"
"This is really unreasonable!"
"If all the places were controlled by these wolves, wouldn't it mean that we, the people of Great Qin, would never be able to establish themselves? If I hadn't gone deep into the place, I would have been kept in the dark. How could I have known that the place had deteriorated to such a state."
"It has been seven years since the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu. During these seven years, the situation in Sishui County has not improved at all. On the contrary, it has become increasingly worse. Where is the law of the Qin Dynasty? Where is the justice of the Qin Dynasty? If this continues, how can we, the Qin Dynasty, be stable?"
"It's unbearable!"
Fusu was furious. He had gone deep into the place during this period and had initially found out the real situation of the place. But when he really learned the inside story, he couldn't help but take a breath.
The darkness of the place was appalling.
shocking.
There are thousands of households like Zhou Bo in Pei County alone.
What a terrible number this is.
The total number of private farmland in the entire Sishui County is only over one million acres, but the total loss of private farmland in Sishui County is as high as 70% to 80%. Nearly one million acres of fertile land has fallen into the hands of powerful local families. Such an exaggerated amount is simply incredible.
Appalling.
Fusu's face was as black as charcoal.
He directly picked up the pen and sent the official document to the chief official of Pei County.
"In the fifth month of the fifth month, Supervisor Fu Su of Sishui reported to the chief official Xiao He that he would like to annex the land to the county soldiers and subordinates of his subordinates. If he is a subordinate, he must first investigate everything..."
Just when Fusu ordered a thorough investigation, the pen in his hand suddenly stopped.
Fusu looked at the official document that was mostly written, angrily threw the pen and the document out, and punched the paper with his fist ashen.
He remembered something.
To move the head of Guizhou from Shitian is to admit that the annexation is reasonable.
It also provides legal principles for defense.
The memorial submitted by Xiao He is indeed infuriating, but if you think about it carefully, if it were not for the implementation of the move to remove the head of Guizhou from Shitian, these written deeds would not even have reached the hands of the government, and the written deeds submitted by Xiao He were not for him to investigate thoroughly, but
It is to let the government register it and turn illegal into legal.
The fields owned by Zhou Bo and others were completely owned by the Xiang family.
Think of this.
Fusu was furious.
Although he was furious, there was nothing he could do.
The policy of allowing the heads of Guizhou to own their own fields was a policy he strongly promoted, and it indeed benefited the heads of Guizhou at the bottom. People who originally lost their land in Pei County now have fields to cultivate. However, they saw that a large amount of land in Sishui County fell into the hands of local powerful people. Fusu
I really feel unwilling to do so.
Fusu fell into self-doubt.
"Did I do something wrong?"
“But if we don’t implement self-cultivation of land in Guizhou, the vast majority of Guizhou will be reduced to servant farming. We have the power of Guizhou, but there is no land in Guizhou. Over time, the people at the bottom will be resentful and angry.”
"The policies I proposed are indeed beneficial to the grassroots in Guizhou."
"only......"
"Originally, the land occupied by powerful people was illegal, but after being registered with the government, the land they occupied became legal."
Fusu was depressed for a moment and then regained his spirit.
He said with emotion: "The local tycoons are doing evil in the local area. It is impossible that they have not done other illegal things. But now the Great Qin can't take action to punish them. When the Great Qin is free, these local tyrants will spit out all the fields they have occupied."
"Jiujiang Daqin, any violation of law will be punished!"
Fusu's eyes were sharp.
He thought again about the bamboo slips presented by Xiao He.
Finally realized something was wrong.
The documents submitted by other counties were only a few words summarizing the land annexation deeds, but Xiao He wrote a special letter in a big way. He obviously did it on purpose. His purpose was to use these shocking blood and tears deeds to warn himself.
, local powerful people can no longer be ignored.
Fusu couldn't help but said:
"Xiao He is truly a good official in the world."
"How can I, Fusu, dare to ignore your sincere advice?"
Sit for a while.
Fusu had no intention of reading the relevant documents anymore, got up, put on his clothes, and hurried out the door. After some thought, he thought that he should go see the official Xiao, and listen to his opinion on sending the head of Guizhou to Shitian.
