Chapter 180: Spreading a small family into an acre wins the hearts of the people
Ten days later.
Ye Xianggao went to Tianjin in person.
This time Zhu Youxiao divided the work for the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Ye Xianggao is responsible for playing the role of a "good guy", specializing in supporting the common people who have settled in Tianjin and supervising the officials. On the other hand, he will meet with Tianjin's industrial and commercial enterprises to learn about the government's oppression of businessmen in collecting industrial and commercial taxes.
Officials who have exaggerated goals, distorted policies, excessively collected taxes, and failed to perform their duties must be punished.
Zhou Yingqiu, the censor of Youdu, was also dispatched at the same time. He was responsible for playing the "bad guy", specializing in severely punishing landlords and profiteers who resisted reform, and recovering and punishing tax evasion.
This is the two sides of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After Ye Xianggao was in place, Zhu Youxiao asked him to get it started quickly and not be idle, and even gave him a secret mission.
Let him strictly investigate the monopoly salt merchants in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, and guide Jiangnan industry and commerce to support the imperial court's reforms.
The old man has already investigated the intelligence thoroughly. If Jinyiwei alone takes action, he will be criticized by the big businessmen and the literati landlords who support him. Therefore, the Metropolitan Procuratorate in charge must be in place to lead the arrest of the prisoners this time and guide the legal process.
Businessmen support reform.
Ye Xianggao had mixed feelings in his heart: "But I really don't want to stand on the side of the farmers and offend the landlords and literati... But the position of Zuodu Yushi must be an official. The Donglin Party wants to prove that it is different from ordinary people."
The township party is different, so it should do these things beautifully."
The landlords are also eliminated by the survival of the fittest. Only those with better ability and character than these good landlords can survive.
We are not sure about anything, whether the confrontation with Emperor Apocalypse was successful.
There are not even those who have no fear of Jin Yiwei, because our families have no land, no money, and no servants.
How to stand in line to be bad...
Take all those people and give an explanation to the people in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we must tolerate the supervisory officials.
But the matter is small. I know whether to arrest or to move is a decision that can be made by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If Emperor Tianqi wants to discuss the decision with the court.
Ran Liruo got the information about Jin Yiwei's death and knew that the court had not grasped it for a long time, so she decided to investigate the culprits, who were a few scribes and businessmen who were related.
On the contrary, there are few conflicts between small and medium-sized landlords and tenants.
Once you retreat into the small canal, you only know the rules of the Lianghuai salt merchants and the laws of the imperial court.
Those corrupt officials who committed crimes against the trend were all taken to the capital. Zuo Guangdou still vaguely said that those people became models. Emperor Tianqi did not send me to Tianjin to catch models.
The landlords must have gone too far in exploiting the peasants, so someone will do it for me.
I also disguised myself as a fortune teller walking around the streets and went to slums for field trips.
Even the passenger ships, flower boats, and cruise ships outside the canal have all become our industry; the port warehouses, shops, and inns are all controlled by us, and management fees are paid to us regularly.
Was that done by the emperor?
Two officials have gone to the countryside to collect taxes and deceived the villagers by saying that our children are working as water thieves. The following is investigating. As long as outsiders pay taxes for a few years, it can prove that the children are farming. Is there any problem at all?
Leave the village.
Submit those materials to Zhou Yingqiu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, before there is indeed an error.
There is no magistrate who engages in exaggeration and apportionment, and directly arrests all the participants.
As a result, we inspected various counties and arranged for the censor to receive feedback from the people about the officials. It turned out that the young masters were all saying that it was very bad to work on a farm, and the officials also collected too much tax money and collected exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes under various names.
Zuo Guangdou was mainly responsible for the Donglin Party's efforts to revive the righteousness of the imperial court. Yang Lian was the chief planner, contacting all Donglin friends in the capital. Ran Liruo continued to pretend to surrender. Although Sun Chengzong, who "fake surrendered", had a lower position, Ye Xiang
Gao provides less information about Apocalypse.
We don’t decide the types of goods exiting the ports along the small canal. You only need to hold the licenses and indicators issued by us to participate in port transactions.
Young people outside the village were working there to earn money to prepare for a wife, but all their money was extorted.
It has not been long since the giant merchants of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River monopolized the salt industry and small canal shipping. We have also monopolized all commodities in the small canal, including grain.
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others also thought so. They met with several people before Ye Xianggao left, and they all continued to work in their positions. Isn't it just to prove that the Donglin Party and "Zhongzheng Yingchao" are correct?<
/p>
After returning to Tianjin, Zuo Guangdou also learned about Zanding Ru Mu for the first time.
Anyone who dares to commit a crime must be treated as a rebel. Those people are chickens, and the Lianghuai salt merchants and southern gentry landlords are not monkeys.
At the feet of the emperor, Tianjin actually solved the contradiction between man and land.
All valuable goods that have not exited the small canal port are priced by us, and we collect the difference between the refund price and the bid price. Anyone who accepts it will be excluded from the port transaction, and will never be able to participate in the withdrawal again.
I found in various counties in Tianjin that the people were very satisfied with Emperor Tianqi's policy of "dividing a child into an area". Although I advertised that I would make the decision to redress the grievances of the people, many people later filed complaints.
I'm not worried at all. Will it be difficult if I'm caught in the middle?
Of course, Tianjin also has a small land and a large population, and there are not a lot of beaches and high-lying areas along the river. Most of them are flooded, so it is difficult to cultivate the land.
Yang Lian actually had no intention of giving a weak advice, but Zuo Guangdou and Ye Xianggao both gave suggestions, so I had to give up.
It’s so brave!
Before farmers were allowed to work on their own, farmers were free to work and had to pay a poll tax. When the tenants had no land, they simply went to work in Tianjin. Anyway, the rent and money they owed to the landlords were originally due to the poll tax. Now
I was exempted from the owed poll tax, and of course I went to work with a heavy load.
Eight people also talk about the division of labor.
The first batch of resettled Mongolian refugees arrived, and the imperial court funded the purchase of the first batch of lambs, allowing us to end the development of animal husbandry as soon as possible.
I checked around and kept visiting and investigating. The hard work was done by unintended people, and finally there was no harvest. It was found that there were no local officials, and there were no local landlords to support them, and they were collecting money through exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
The situation in Tianjin was beyond expectations, but the commander of Jinyiwei was always dead, investigating the intelligence about the giant businessmen who monopolized the small canal, which made Zuo Guangdou's heart sink.
The exemption of the head tax encourages farmers to work, which has an expected effect. Landlords must improve the treatment of tenant farmers, otherwise they will have to pay industrial taxes.
Is that the result of the reform of Bi Ziyan, the "number one" promoted by Tianqi?
Everyone said that Tianjin officials administered the Qingming Festival, collected taxes, and allocated tax money to us.
Ran Liruo was shocked.
One by one, each one is shocking: we monopolize transportation in small canals, and all commercial ships traveling in small canals must purchase ships from us, and other ships are prohibited from commercial transport.
Including industry and commerce, everyone also agrees to tax based on revenue, because they can make money with the court, there are no migrant workers to hire, and there will be no small canals to the capital, Shandong, Jiangnan, and seaports to Liaodong, Gaoli, and Japan in the future. Everyone knows that there will be no future.
If you make money, you will naturally support it from the bottom of your heart.
