Chapter 62: When Lord Qian Comes, Shandong Will Have a Blue Sky
In this area of Shandong, the imperial court should have sent a tiger. Even if it couldn't send a tiger, it should have sent a good guard dog. Instead, it sent a pig!
He is still a stupid, incompetent and lustful pig... This regent is said to be wise, but in fact he is very confused.
Yan Zibin received the news that Qian Qianyi was about to take office and gave such a sincere evaluation.
However, Qian Qianyi didn't see himself that way. After he took office, he acted vigorously and decisively, giving orders decisively to appease the Confucius family. He then ordered officials from various places to reprimand those scholars who followed the uproar and criticized the Confucius family.
The heaven overthrows it, the earth carries it, the king, the parents, the teachers, nurture and teach it with kindness... The sage Kong is the teacher of all generations, the Kong family is the descendant of the sage, the status is respected, the hope of the scholars, the criticism of the sage, that is
Cut off from the wall of Confucius and Mencius.
Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be disqualified from the imperial examination and be treated as a madman.
This made the Kong family in Qufu feel grateful and sensible, Mr. Qian, it really came to his heart.
These words alone were enough to lead the literary circles of two dynasties.
Qian Qianyi appeased the Kong family, and then ordered the gentry not to become thieves. Anyone who had to submit temporarily due to coercion, as long as he was willing to return to justice, was willing to help the court to eliminate the bandits, and made suggestions.
After becoming a man, he took back his family's property.
After this order, there was even more praise. Everyone praised in unison, saying that the Prime Minister cared about the people and made decisions for the people. He was really a rare good official. The land of Qilu has a blue sky.
Amidst the praise, Qian Qianyi felt that he could do something bigger. He bravely wrote a letter asking the Qing government to agree not to continue to enclose land in Shandong. The original land could be returned to the original owner as appropriate.
If you can make great achievements in suppressing bandits, you can get more rewards...
Qian Qianyi arrived in Shandong and immediately showed his three axes.
At this time, Zhu Yiyuan also felt the power of "the water is too cold".
"Shi Qian, we have just received news from the peasant community that nearly twenty local gentry from Laiwu have fled to Jinan Prefecture. In the direction of Xintai, there are even landlords who are unwilling to divide their fields and have gathered their thugs again to attack our militia.
, in three days, more than twenty militiamen were killed and injured!"
Song Lian anxiously reported the situation to Zhu Yiyuan, "Qian Qianyi has confused a lot of people."
Zhu Yiyuan said with a sullen face: "We must fight back, and we must not condone and appease... All the gentry who have escaped must have their properties taken back. As for those who openly rebel, send troops immediately, arrest them all, and kill the leader!"
Zhu Yiyuan gave the order decisively, and Song Lian immediately went to arrange it.
Zhu Yiyuan was still uneasy, so he called Wang Huan and led dozens of volunteer soldiers to go downstream along the Dawen River to explore the villages along the way and see the real people's conditions.
More than twenty miles away, Wangjialing, Wang Laoben, and more than a dozen farm cooperative representatives came to greet Zhu Yiyuan.
"Zhu Qianshi is here, everyone welcomes you."
What a great guy, we actually prepared gongs and drums for playing and playing. It was a lively performance.
Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand and said: "No need, those who know are just welcoming me, those who don't know think they are marrying a new wife!"
One sentence made everyone laugh.
"Zhu Qianshi, I'm more happy to have you here than to have a wife." Wang Laoben told Zhu Yiyuan that during this autumn harvest, every household has at least seven or eight hundred kilograms of grain. Since there is no need to pay land rent, every villager can count on it.
There are more than 200 kilograms of grain on each head.
After decades, I finally no longer have to go hungry.
"Zhu Qianshi, our land allocation is almost finished. We are just waiting for the issuance of land deeds. A total of more than 3,500 acres of land have been allocated in the village. The remaining 1,000 acres will be handed over to the capital.
.Some villagers feel that there is not enough farming, and they want to rent more land to farm. I wonder if it is possible to rent this land?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said, "This is 30%. There is nothing else to say. After all, there are still people from outside who need to be settled."
Wang Laoben grinned and said: "Zhu Qianshi, I understand this truth, but some villagers can't figure it out. They feel that it is not so comfortable to let outsiders rob everyone's fields..."
At the mention of this, Zhu Yiyuan's face darkened, and he looked past Wang Laoben and at all the other members of the farm cooperative.
"Everyone must understand that these outsiders did not fall from the sky. Some of them are from Zhangqiu and some are from Zichuan. They are all poor people who were driven out by the Tatars. They also helped you harvest crops a few days ago.
, among the soldiers who protect the big guys, there are more than 1,500 people from these outsiders. I ask you, if there are no soldiers to protect you, can these fields be saved now? "
The members of the farm cooperative shook their heads repeatedly, but still hesitated, "Of course it can't be done, it's just..."
Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "It's just that I'm not happy in my heart. I want to take more... I can announce a new rule here. Anyone who dares to provoke disputes, bully outsiders, or outsiders get together and attack the villagers... will be severely punished."
If the loan is serious, it will deprive the land and drive people out, so don't be under my rule."
Zhu Yiyuan's face sank. It was quite scary. Don't forget that not long ago, he killed hundreds of people in one go.
Is Master Zhu easy to talk to?
Wang Laoben also glared, "Did you hear that? Zhu Qian has made it clear. If you are still not satisfied, be careful and get out."
This time no one dared to speak.
Zhu Yiyuan added: "Folks, in addition to farmland, there are actually a variety of industries in the countryside, and there are many opportunities... In the past, the landlords and gentry exploited the big guys, and every household had to risk their lives to farm. After a year,
, the income is still not enough to fill the stomach. It is different now. Now that everyone can have enough to eat, they need to build a house, wear new clothes, need a blacksmith stove, a woodworking shop, and a school so that the children can study and become successful in the future.
"
"These will be arranged, and our lives will only get better and better."
Wang Laoben couldn't help but said: "Zhu Qianshi, did you say that you would allow young people in the village to become officials?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will remember it. I will implement it immediately when Duke Dongshang comes back. Now we can let the young people study more and be prepared."
When they heard that Mr. Zhu was coming, the villagers enthusiastically brought two chickens to add vegetables to Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Yiyuan did not refuse. He just asked his rebel soldiers to take out the money from the vegetable fund and pay the villagers at the market price. As a result, the little soldier felt distressed.
"Fellow fellow, we have been told not to take things from the common people in vain. We don't have much food money left, so we want to buy some chickens and raise them later. We will lay eggs every day and eat them all at once. It's too much."
wasted."
The villagers sounded fresh. The army wanted to eat something, but they also had to give money?
And why do soldiers raise their own chickens?
The young soldier patiently explained that they were young soldiers and they must trade fairly and not bully the common people.
In the military camp, everyone is the same. Orders must be carried out unconditionally, but when it comes to living expenses, especially food and money, the soldiers have the right to control them.
The villagers were stunned after hearing the explanation.
Good soldiers, good rules!
In the past, it was said that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not make nails. Now it seems that this cannot be generalized.
Many young people came over and asked about life in the army.
At this time, in a large pot, two chickens had been stewed until the bones were crispy and the meat was rotten. The mellow taste permeated the vegetables... Zhu Yiyuan, like the soldier, filled a bowl of vegetable soup with only a few small pieces of chicken in it.
, just like a soldier, Zhu Yiyuan also said it tasted much better than usual.
It is true that officers and soldiers are the same and no one enjoys special treatment.
"Zhu Qianshi has really become a great businessman with his behavior. Those foolish people who listened to Qian Qianyi's temptation and went to Jinan are really a bunch of fools!"
The speaker was a middle-aged scholar. He bowed deeply to Zhu Yiyuan and said, "I would like to raise Xu Zhen to pay my respects to Zhu Qianshi."
Juren, his academic qualifications are quite high.
Zhu Yiyuan asked: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Xu?"
Xu Zhen said proudly: "Zhu Qianshi, eighteen years ago, I wrote to the court, hoping to confiscate the property of the rich. Starting from the Confucius family, the land in Shandong was enriched for military use and the old slaves were exterminated. We will find a way after the country is safe and the people are happy.
Return the family property. From now on, I will no longer be able to pass the exams."
Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help being surprised. Firstly, this person dared to speak out. Secondly, eighteen years ago, when he was twenty years old, he passed the examination and was very knowledgeable.
"What are your plans for me, sir?"
Xu Zhen smiled and said: "After all these years, I still feel that I am right. Now some people are blind and eager to join Qian Qianyi. I plan to ask Zhu Qian to confiscate their property. I am willing to do it for you."
Zhu Yiyuan frowned slightly, "Sir, are you sure you can do it well?"
"Well, my uncle just fled to Jinan, so let's start from the Xu family." This chapter has been completed!
