Jin Jian, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Right Minister of the Han Dynasty in the Ministry of Household Affairs, is reporting to the foreman, Mr. Junji.
Accompanying to listen to the report were the Manchu military aircraft Suolin and the Han military aircraft Liang Guozhi, as well as the Minister of Household Affairs Yonggui.
Sorin, who joined the cabinet last year, has a peaceful nature and does not fight. He is also what the people call a good old man, or a grassroots. The wind will blow in which direction, so the old rich man let him continue to work in the military aircraft department.
When Liang Guozhi of the Han Army was the governor of Hubei, his immediate boss was Fulehun, who was the governor of Huguang at that time. The two governors had many contacts in Hubei and had a good relationship.
Therefore, this report mainly involves the flag fields of several princes and princes. Yonggui, the Minister of Household Affairs, as the leader in charge of land, must give professional opinions for Fuzhongtang's reference.
"After detailed inspection of past records by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Zhuang's Mansion has 550,000 acres of flag land, Prince Xian's Mansion has 900,000 acres of flag land, Prince Jian's Mansion has about 700,000 acres of flag land, Prince Ping's Mansion has 470,000 acres of flag land, and the four princes' mansions have
There are more than 2.6 million acres of flag land. In addition, various princes have purchased their own land over the years. The number of them is currently unavailable due to a large number of missing land titles. If the Military Aircraft Department needs to conduct a thorough investigation, it can be done in Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan.
, Shuntian and other places have appointed special personnel to find out..."
This piece of flag field was archived when the Eight Banners were encircled in the early days of the People's Republic of China. The Ministry of Internal Affairs only needs to check the records of land grants over the years to get a rough figure.
Together with the four princely houses that committed the crime, the clan, princes, princes, and princes owned tens of millions of acres of flagland, and most of it was fertile land in the Gyeonggi area.
When the Eight Banners encircled the territory, there was almost no Han land in the capital.
Liangxiang, Sanhe, Ninghe, Shunyi, Pinggu, Changping, Xianghe, Baodi, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Wuqing and other prefectures and counties within three hundred miles of the capital were 100% restored to the Eight Banners.
In Shuntian, Baoding, Chengde, Yongping, Hejian and other prefectures within a radius of 500 miles, all Han people who had good land were required to live with their own people and houses, and the land was surrendered to the banner as slaves. This caused a large number of Han people to flee.
The "Fugitive Law" had to be introduced to impose strict laws and regulations on the Han people.
This law is still in place today, but the punishment was relaxed during the Kangxi period due to the relatively smooth rule.
It’s just that the flag field can be checked, and the land purchased by the prince belongs to the prince’s own property and is not included in the government. In addition, the four princes’ palaces were looted by the rebels, and now the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can’t even enter, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no way to do it.
Learn how much land the Four Princes and Princes bought over the past century.
Jin Jian conservatively estimated that the number of flag fields should be no less than the original number of flag fields. After all, the best things the princes have done in the past hundred years are two things, one is to buy land, and the other is to monopolize profitable businesses in the market.
Bannermen were not allowed to do business, but no one dared to deny Prince Baylor his fortune.
Even the business of banner people has long existed in name only. Eighty percent of the business in the city and outside the city is run by banner people. Some of them, in order to look good, secretly find some Han people to show their faces. If the Han people want to do business in the capital, they must also
You have to find a bannerman to serve as the backend, otherwise the business will not last long.
Compared with land and commercial property, the so-called salary is just a trick to coax children.
With that small salary, the prince's family will have to go out to beg for food until the end of the year.
"So many flagadas?"
The rich man named Jin Jian was stunned when he heard the report. He knew that the princes had a lot of land, but he didn't expect that each of them started with hundreds of thousands of acres. He thought that now that he was the foreman of the military aircraft minister, his family only bought a few hundred acres in Tongzhou.
The earth, compared with the princes, can't even compare to a fucking fraction.
Liang Guozhi was also surprised and asked Jin Jian how much an acre of flag land was on the market.
"Flag fields are all fertile land, and can only be purchased within the flag, and can only be rented to outsiders, not sold. That means Han tenants can be assigned to farm, but they are not allowed to be transferred and traded. According to the official's understanding, the fertile land in the Gyeonggi area ranges from 16 to 70 taels per mu, and from low to
There are always twelve taels."
In the early days of the Republic of China, there were only 2,321 acres of fertile land in the capital of Shunzhi. However, after a hundred years of peace in the Qing Dynasty, the price of this land has continued to rise. In some places, the fertile land is as high as 20,000 acres. Large amounts of land have begun to be concentrated, resulting in
The consequences of rising land prices.
"In this way, the flag fields of the four royal palaces can be sold for 40 to 50 million taels. If we buy the land ourselves, the deficit of the Qing Dynasty's treasury can be evened out."
Fulehun began to make small calculations, not about the flag fields of these four princes, but about the flag fields of the Three Banners in Manchuria.
That basin is much larger than the land owned by the four criminal princes.
It's just that the Five Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are all interested in the Three Banners' land. It may be difficult to nationalize the land to solve the financial crisis.
This matter needs to be discussed carefully with the Sixth Son Xiandi. After all, the Sixth Son Xiandi's words should be effective with the Han Eight Banners.
Yonggui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, asked the Jin Jian about the other properties of the four palaces. This Jin Jian could not answer the question again because he could not enter the palace to check the accounts.
Suolin looked at Fulehun: "Fu Zhongtang, are you saying hello to Jia Jiashikai and asking him to withdraw his troops first? We still have to take those who should be taken into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What does it mean to occupy the palace like this?"
Liang Guozhi and Jin Jian did not say anything. The four princes' palaces were dominated by the soldiers of the infantry commander's yamen. Those soldiers could only be commanded by Jia Jia Shikai. The problem was that Fu Zhongtang seemed to have conflicts with this Jia Jia Shikai.
"I will go into the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor later. Let's do this. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will first send people to the flag fields belonging to the four royal palaces to verify. Don't let the big and small villagers of Guanzhuang take advantage of the loopholes and hide the truth without reporting it."
Jin Jian nodded, that was all the Ministry of Internal Affairs could do at the moment.
Liang Guozhi asked: "What about writing a note?"
The note is the evidence for entering and exiting the city. Now is an extraordinary period, and there are still thieves lurking in the city. Therefore, anyone who wants to enter or leave the city must hold a military aircraft and issue a note before they can travel.
"open it."
The old man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said to Suo Lin: "The emperor's Luanjia is scheduled to go to Tailing in three days. The Shangsanqi Guards will be responsible for Luanjia's safety. Along the way, he will instruct Shuntian Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture to take care of supplies. Over there with the clan, you
Go over and ask, who will go and who will not go, and make a list."
Suolin responded, hesitated and asked: "Fu Zhongtang, where is the Queen Mother?"
"Queen Mother?"
The old man was startled for a moment. He was so busy right now that he forgot about the old Queen Mother who was still lying in Cining Palace.
Yonggui spoke: "The top priority is to clarify the rumors about the Emperor's life experience, otherwise there will be no way to discuss the burial of the Queen Mother."
The old man nodded in agreement. This is the fact. If the emperor is not the son of the late emperor, can the queen mother still be the queen mother?
There was such a big fanfare that the Queen Mother and her elders were brought to Tailing together. Should they be buried then or not?
Two more matters were discussed. First, the Military Aircraft Department drafted an edict to urge Dingxi General Feng Sheng'e to enter Huguang to quell the rebellion and recover Jingzhou and Wuchang.
The second was to instruct Huguang Governor Chen Huizu, who had lost his city and territory and was unable to defend his territory, to demote himself to the third rank and stay in office, to organize the soldiers to retake Wuchang and prevent the bandits from going eastward along the Yangtze River. Otherwise, Chen Huizu and Hubei Governor Zheng Dafa would commit suicide.
