"How cruel are you to orphans and widowed mothers?" Liu Che didn't want to dwell on issues such as debt.
Paying back debts is a matter of course.
Not to mention forcing someone to sell their military lord (regardless of whether the person agrees or not), even asking them to sell their children and daughters to sell themselves is also legal at this time.
In fact, most of the eunuchs in Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are poor people who sold themselves.
"Qie Yang Wei died for his country, and you bully his orphans and widows so unscrupulously, are you not afraid of divine punishment?" Liu Che asked with squinting eyes.
This is to raise this matter to an issue of military personnel and military families.
It's a pity that Xu Wei is just a ranger, how can he know this?
He pouted and said: "The villain doesn't care about this. The villain is entrusted by others to be loyal. Some people owe debts and some ask the villain to collect debts. The villain can just do what he is told..."
When Liu Che heard this, he smiled widely.
This is the answer he wants.
Now, the military has been dragged into the water.
On this issue, if the military generals dare to say, "This is the fate of Yang Wei's orphans and widows."
Then they have to bow and step down.
Anyone with a right mind knows that on this issue, they must unconditionally support Yang Wei’s family in safeguarding their rights.
Because, those civil servants, knight-errants, and merchants are now riding on the heads of soldiers and doing whatever they want.
They can do this to Yang Wei's family today, and they can do this to other soldiers tomorrow.
The collective will will force the military to make the strongest voice on this matter!
But just like this, Liu Che was not enough to have an excuse to lift the table and clean Chang'an.
"Good!" Liu Che stood up with a smile and asked, "Let's leave this matter aside for now..."
He looked outside the door, paused, and then asked: "What about the money that the Yang family and the residents of Zhangtai Street have to pay to move to their new homes?"
He clapped his fingers and said: "The Emperor has issued an edict that the residents of Luli in Chang'an will be moved to new homes for a household price of only ten thousand yuan, and they are allowed to use work in lieu of loans!"
"But you force the people to make fake money from the place designated by you... nine times out and thirteen times back..."
"You are considering the law of the country to be correct!"
But it's not just that.
From Xiuyiwei's report, Liu Che even saw more exaggerated cases.
Some people clearly belong to a middle-class family and have enough savings to pay for a new home.
But he was forced to go to a businessman for a loan.
If you don't take out the loan, you will harass and even bully the family. Eventually, the family will be forced to take out a loan shark that they don't need at all!
What's more, some people choose to use their work as a loan, and they have obviously earned the loan with their own hands.
However, it was maliciously erased.
Force him to sign a deed!
Relying on these various means, during the entire process of Chang'an's transformation, countless people benefited from the people's wealth and made a lot of money.
What's more serious is that some guys have played new tricks by colluding with businessmen and bureaucrats.
On the one hand, they forced people to take loans from them, but on the other hand, they took these people's household registration information and obtained a quota of fake money in the Shaofu.
In this way, in reality, they did not spend a dime, but the family had to owe them a large sum of money.
The ultimate goal of all these methods is to force people into bankruptcy.
As a result, Liu Che heard that some people had just moved into a new house, but had to sell the house immediately to repay the terrible usury.
And the transformation of Chang'an City is not over yet!
From this we can see what these bureaucrats, knights and merchants are doing, right?
They are poaching, and they are digging desperately!
Of course, these people are not stupid either.
The targets they chose were all powerless and helpless lower-class people like the residents of Zhangtai Street.
Ordinary middle-class families, families with scholars or soldiers, they would not mess with them.
In Chang'an City, more than half of the residents belong to the poor at the bottom.
In fact, this half of the people in Chang'an not only did not benefit from the transformation of Chang'an City, on the contrary, they were burdened with a heavier burden because of this policy that might have changed their living conditions. Many people even ushered in
disaster!
This made Liu Che feel as if he was watching Wang Anshi's political reform in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The more reforms are implemented, the heavier the burden will be on the people and the more resentment they will have.
"In addition, when you move to a new home, you also have to pay a housewarming tax, you have to pay a 'gratitude tax' when you move in, and you have to pay various miscellaneous taxes assessed every month..." Liu Che read these various so-called regular money, family money and
With all kinds of apportionments and additional taxes, the anger in my heart was already burning.
In fact, this transformation of Chang'an, to a certain extent, caused bureaucrats, merchants and nobles to start colluding with each other.
Bureaucrats want more benefits, more resources.
Businessmen need profits.
What the nobles need are the bankrupt, helpless and penniless poor - their feudal kingdoms and the future development of feudal kingdoms in Hetao, Hexi and even the Western Regions require a large number of loyal and honest people.
These three are in harmony and each gets what they need.
In order to cover up these things, these guys even intervened in bribery and bribery of the embroidered clothes guards.
If Liu Che hadn't always distrusted even the Xiu Yiwei, and had adopted a model of working independently and supervising each other, I'm afraid even the Xiu Yiwei would have helped hide it this time.
And this matter was clearly told to Liu Che - the whole of Chang'an, especially the internal history office, which directly faced the people of Chang'an, was in ruins.
There's no way this can be done without tearing down the table and starting a new game.
……………………
Xu Wei listened to the prince in front of him recount these things one by one.
There was a smile on his lips.
This matter, let alone the so-called Young Master Yang Xinjun.
Even the direct descendants of the Bo family and the Dou family, as well as Nanpihou and Zhangwuhou, are helpless!
The people involved in these matters were all over the yamen of Jiuqing, the noble class, and wealthy businessmen.
The interests of countless people are entangled, and even if the Prime Minister comes in person, he will be blinded.
There are more than hundreds of participants?
D!
Does the imperial court dare to depose all these people at once? Is it a crime to rule them all?
However, Liu Che's words aroused the anger of the onlookers.
In the past few months, the lower class people in Chang'an have been wantonly humiliated and exploited by bureaucrats, nobles, knights, and merchants. Countless people dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
But do you really dare to be angry but dare not speak out?
This is not necessarily the case!
It’s just because there is a lack of people to take the lead in resistance!
Speaking of which, the reason why the situation has reached this point and the people of Chang'an have not yet had a hero to stand up and enter the mansions of these scumbags at night and take their heads off is also related to Liu Che.
Anton's gold rush has almost attracted away most of the brave people in Guanzhong who dare to do things.
Those left behind are either honest, loyal and hard-working people, or old scalpers who are hardworking and uncomplaining.
It's not like these people didn't resist.
But the problem is that there is something wrong with the methods and methods of their resistance.
The most they can think of is to file a complaint with the government.
However, when they arrived at the government office and the internal history office, the Ming government was shocked. The first thing they said was: Who is this person and why are you suing me?
However, Tingwei, Yushi Dafu and Zhijinwu Yamen have no jurisdiction over civil matters.
They are just the maintainers of law and order.
Now, in the eyes of these people, Liu Che, the 'Master Yang Xinjun', actually spoke uprightly and spoke up for them.
Naturally, it resonated with them immediately.
Countless people shouted: "Master, Master, please make the decision for us, avenge us, and inform all the princes in the court about this matter!"
In the simple minds of the common people, naturally, today's court is filled with gentlemen and full of justice.
All bad things are done by people below.
The princes and the emperor were just deceived. Once they know the suffering of the people, they will definitely take action. Mr. Qingtian will enforce the law impartially and make decisions for the people!
Liu Che looked at this situation with satisfaction. This was exactly what he needed!
At this moment, an official in scarlet uniforms, accompanied by seven or eight government officials, walked into the alley. Looking at this scene with a cold face, he roared loudly: "Avenge? What grievance is being redressed?"
"Whoever slanders state officials again can't blame me for being merciless!"
This man walked over with an arrogant look. When the crowd saw him, they all backed down in fear.
He took a stick, waved it in his hand, and threatened: "Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, the seas and rivers are clear, and there are no unjust cases in the world, you slander the country's major policies and make arrogant opinions on the policies of the country. You really think that the laws of the country are
Can’t decorate it?”
Official deterrence is very powerful!
Over the past few days, this official has been arresting people.
Especially those who dared to file a complaint were all beaten half to death by him with a stick, and some were even beaten to death!
This kind of thing is very common!
And he is also very confident. As the actual manager of the public security in Zhangtai Street, although his position is low, he is only a 400-stone member of the Neishi Yamen.
But he has a strong backing!
His uncles were both Qianshi from Chang'an, giants in power.
Therefore, he does not need to take any examination or recommendation at all, he can become an official directly.
This is called cuteness, and it is also the welfare of scholar-bureaucrats.
And after he arrived at Zhangtai Street, he was really miserable at first, and his life was not very easy.
It was not until Chang'an City was renovated that Liushi was moved here.
He arrived in no time, and wealthy businessmen with thousands of families came to visit him one after another, bringing beautiful wives, concubines, gold, silver, pearls and jade.
Moreover, there are benefits to sharing with him.
In a few months, his wealth expanded a hundred times!
Now, even if someone offered him a two-thousand-stone county guard in exchange for a four-hundred-stone Zhangtai Street magistrate, he would not do it.
He led the government officials, opened the door directly, walked into the courtyard, saw Liu Che and the rangers who were held up by swords, cleared his throat, and bowed respectfully: "Zhangtai Street ordered the official Cheng Wen to pay his respects to the noble...
…”
Then without waiting for Liu Che to return the gift, he raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty is not in Qilinafu, why did you come to my Zhangtai Street?"
Liu Che looked at this man's appearance, chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty has come at the right time! Since your Majesty is the official of this Zhangtai Street, then I would like to ask your Majesty to explain all the chaos in this Zhangtai Street..."
…”
"Explanation?" Cheng Wen sneered and said arrogantly: "No explanation! It is better for the noble man to return to his relatives and enjoy the blessings. Otherwise, if things get too big, even Mr. Yang Xin may not be able to protect the noble man!"
In the eyes of others, the so-called Yang Xinjun may be somewhat intimidating.
But in the eyes of Cheng Wen, who was born in a family of officials, the so-called Yang Xinjun? That’s a p*ss!
If he were a descendant of the Dou family or the Bo family, maybe he would give him some face!
I don’t know what kind of status the young master of Yang Xinjun’s family actually wants to show off?
Don’t give it away if you leave!
This was for Nanpihou's sake, otherwise, he would be taken back for interrogation and his face would be shaved off.
These days, it's not like he hasn't dealt with similar stupid people.
At first, he had some doubts and worries, but now he understands.
Behind him stood the entire Chang'an bureaucracy and interest groups.
No matter how those stupid young men were humiliated by him, the family behind him would never complain.
As long as you don't do it too much, no one will care at all!
"Haha..." Liu Che laughed loudly: "A noble official is a minister of the emperor?"
"Of course!" Cheng Wen raised his head and said, "I am your Majesty's minister!"
"Today, the emperor has repeatedly issued edicts to the world: I am the father and mother of the people, and I am the king of the world. The people of the world are all my flesh and blood. Anyone who dares to hurt them will be severely punished! Aren't noble officials afraid of the wrath of the power of heaven? Great
Punishment coming?"
"Huh!" Cheng Wen said arrogantly: "The emperor is just talking about it for fun... Since ancient times, when the emperor ruled the world, he never got close to the common people? He only ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats and princes!"
He glanced at the people outside with a contemptuous glance, and as if he had come from the past, he said boldly: "I would like to advise you: just listen to the words in the imperial edict, don't take it seriously, for those who take it seriously are fools!"
In his opinion, this is indeed the case!
The emperor, just say some nice words from time to time to appease the people of the world and just show off.
Seriously, if you’re not stupid and sweet, you’re just a second-rate person!
In today's world, there are too many second-rate goods and too many silly and sweet things.
There are actually many people who believe it to be true!
How ridiculous!
In his opinion, being like this can be regarded as educating and awakening an ignorant noble man, allowing him to see the reality clearly. In this way, he may have to thank himself in the future!
After hearing this, Liu Che suddenly turned cold and said sternly: "Kneel down!"
He sat on a stone bench, put his hands down naturally, and said without anger: "Is the edict just a show of words?"
This sentence, to Liu Che, was simply a mockery.
Reminded him of Borzhilenev.
This guy once said: xxism is just something to deceive children.
Although this is true, it is a pity...
So Maozi passed away only thirty years after he said these words.
No matter how stupid Liu Che was, he would not sit back and watch such a situation happen in the Han Dynasty.
He waved his sleeves and said angrily: "What I said was just for the occasion? You just need to listen to what I said, and you can't take it seriously? Are you really stupid?"
