On the second day, the effect of this confrontation came out... The Prince Jin’s Mansion had sent a full 3.9 million mu of land deeds, and a large number of them had to be pulled by a few carriages!
And this kind of behavior is also very obvious, he has already lost a big loss, why is he still keeping these fields? Waiting to add sin to your sin? So it's better to hand it in earlier, maybe you can get a repentance assessment (of course he can also choose to pay taxes, but the problem is that up to 80% of the tax, it is obvious that farming has become a loss, then Is it still necessary to keep the fields?)
So just like this, Jin Wang's Mansion, which was originally inexhaustible, sent a full 3.9 million acres of land at once! Although among these, the dignified king Jin also wrote a letter to Yang Shanlu... Said that the 50,000 acres of land that Taizu Ye bestowed on the palace back then, including the 50,000 acres that he later purchased through normal means, hoped to be preserved. , To maintain the most basic operation of the palace.
Yang Shanlu also generously agreed with this. After all, those were given to them by Zhu Yuanzhang. If they were deprived of them, it would not be very good. They would easily give the population... and nearly 4 million acres of land would be squeezed out. , Is this 100,000 mu still short of it
Even Jin’s move caused a chain reaction... Soon the other two palaces in Shanxi, Shenwang’s Mansion in Luzhou, and Datong’s Daiwang’s Mansion, all sent official documents expressing their willingness to actively respond to Yang Shanlu’s policies. , Quit the occupied fields, regret to rehabilitate...
And Yang Shanlu was very happy to see such a move... Hehe, it seems that his method is still very correct, he has taken the strongest fortress of King Jin's mansion, and the rest will be done in one fell swoop!
(Of course, what Yang Shanlu didn't know was that the king Jin had surrendered the land on the surface, but he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so the plan to find someone to assassinate Yang Shanlu was intensified...)
Even this way, including countless dignitaries in Shanxi, after learning of this news, they all withdrew from the fields that were seized by fraud... Did Nima dare not retreat? We must know that many powerful and powerful people witnessed it with their own eyes. Even the majestic King Jin knelt and knelt so thoroughly, would they dare to hold on? Do you really want to taste the taste of Shang Fang’s sword cutting his head
So in this way, as the general trend took shape, the entire yamen of various prefectures and counties in Shanxi were all at a loss. Every day, a large number of powerful and powerful people came to hand in the land deeds. Fortunately, there were a group of young officials arranged by Yang Shanlu in advance. Therefore, even if the work is busy, it is carried out in an orderly manner (young staff members are all trained in the academy system).
Including that after seeing such a good situation, Yang Shanlu issued a notice to the people throughout Shanxi—please rest assured, folks, after half a month, after measuring all these lands, they will all be distributed to you... Of course this That is, the most important policy of Yangshanlu's governance of Shanxi-returning land to people!
Of course, even so, the whole situation has taken shape, but there are still the kind of guys who don't die of the Yellow River. You know that even King Jin has surrendered the field obediently, but there are still some privileged classes who want to die! Want to be slick!
Don’t you pay heavy taxes only if the land of each household exceeds 300 mu? Well, the land under my name does exceed 300 acres, but I can divide these fields into small fields... After all, they are very good at exploiting the loopholes in this policy.
As a result, many dignitaries divided the land under their names to his relatives and friends overnight... Anyway, he just changed the soup without changing the medicine. On the surface, it seemed that his land had been reduced to below the standard line, but in fact, he Still own a lot of land!
(On the surface, his land was given to his relatives and friends, and the land deed was also given to them, but he also signed another contract in private. The ownership of the land is still owned by these dignitaries. If you don’t understand, you can refer to the real estate policy of later generations. When the country introduced a policy that one family can only have two houses at most, and offenders will have to pay heavy taxes, many people will start false divorces. This is the same reason)
It's just that, when these privileged class began to think about good things, they were ruthlessly drunk... Yang Shanlu had always planned and acted, so can this kind of trick trick him
Before Yang Shanlu was ready to take action on the land issue, he had already made arrangements. For example, he sent out a large number of juvenile officials to master the scales of the yamen (field registration data, generally like this kind of data). The dignitaries own a copy, and there is a copy in the yamen), that is, the specific field data of those dignitaries. Yang Shanlu has a clear grasp of it. Now he wants to steal the beam and change the pillar, but there is no door!
So in this way, with the joint efforts of the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Department, anyway a huge number of people have been invited out of Shangfang Baojian, and the light ones are sent to the prison to ask him to take a lawsuit... So the privileged class is desperate, only Can withdraw from the occupied fields one after another, this battle ended in a big defeat!
(Of course the'wisdom' of those powerful and powerful is infinite. Some people have also come up with an idea. I can't fake it as a gift. Isn't it OK if I sell the field? Even if it is sold at a low price, I can get a few Money! But the problem is that after some powerful people tried, they couldn't sell it at all!
Because Yang Shanlu is attacking the entire privileged class this time. These people are busy reducing the land. Except for the rich, the poor people who have had a meal without a meal can afford land. ? Or is it such a flood of land? So it’s the same nowhere.)
So in this way, after half a month, all the work of recycling and land surveying was completed. More than 90% of Shanxi's fertile land was all nationalized, and Yang Shanlu finally had the confidence to take his most critical step in the governance of Shanxi. It's-Return the fields to the people!
And with his order, the entire 100 prefectures and counties of Shanxi, countless prefects and prefectures (including the nine county magistrates sent to him by his father, and several Donglin party members recommended by Liu Zongzhou), a total of one thousand A young clerk began to operate...
Wang Laoshi is an ordinary farmer in Meng County, Shanxi, and before Yang Shanlu arrived, his family's life was in desperation! His family of four has already been stripped of the land! And they have all become refugees and embarked on the road of fleeing! (Fleeing is synonymous with a high mortality rate, the local area is dead, not to mention leaving the hometown)
So before he left the county, he was stopped by the government and was lucky enough to get relief food (see Yang Shanlu’s method when he first took office, robbing corrupt officials’ property to help the people).
And then next, soon in the county where they are located, the official opened a Hundred Flower Dew workshop, buying a large number of various petals, and the price is also very good (basically even a woman, picking flowers for a day Enough for three days).
So all of their four people went to pick petals. It was a few days to have a full meal. But the problem is that after the autumn harvest, the weather gets colder and fewer petals can be picked. , The family of four is living the life of having a meal without a meal again.
And watching the family suffer following him, Wang Laoshi, the only pillar in the family, feels bitter in his heart... He wants to work, he has strength, but there is nowhere to do it!
But on the next day, a major event happened that changed the fate of his life.
In the early morning of this day, not long after the genius was lighted up, he heard someone in the village beating the gong, and the big voice in the center had already rang: "Attention folks! There is something very good to be notified of. ! So each household sent one person to gather in the village!"
"What? A great thing?" Wang was very surprised when he heard it... If it was in the past, as long as he heard the sound of the gong, he felt like a reminder, because every time he urged them to pay taxes or urge them to pay taxes. Corvée, but what about today? It's actually a very good thing
However, since the last time Lizheng came to inform like this, he said that he could pick petals and sell it for money (otherwise I can't believe it), and Wang Laoshi also tasted the benefits, so now Wang Laoshi, for the sound of the gong, much There is a little expectation.
"The kid is his father, then you can go and see it. It’s a pitiful day. I heard people say that a big blue sky has come in Shanxi, so that we can have a way for the people to survive (although it is still difficult). So this time, say What might be the real good thing?"
Wang (his wife) who heard the same voice said to him like this, including the two boys who were also in the room, looking at him with expectant eyes.
"Well, I'll go—" Wang honestly nodded, and then he walked out of the house wearing the only piece of torn clothes, with a sense of anxiety.
But when he came to the village, he found that it seemed like a good thing... because almost all of the nearly 100 households in the village came (if it was taxing, there would never be so many people).
What made him even more hopeful was that many people still had ecstasy on their faces, and some even wiped their tears with excitement. Such a rare sight made Honest Wang’s heart throb with excitement. Jumping... Could it be that something really good is coming? Could it be said that the big blue sky is going to do good things for their people again
"Wang Laoshi, are you here too?" At this time, a middle-aged man came up to greet him. This person Wang Laoshi knew. It was Zhao Youtian who lives in the west of the village. He usually has a good relationship.
Compared with him, Zhao Youtian is a rare self-cultivator in the village, and he has his own two acres of land. Although his land has become precarious with the landlords' expropriation year after year, there is still anyway. Two acres of land can still have a little harvest throughout the year, unlike they are already completely impoverished.
Seeing that it was a friend, Wang honestly nodded and said: "Well, I was just notified everywhere, I am here, but now it seems that it is really a good thing..."
Then the two of them squeezed into the crowd together with a sense of longing, and then when they entered inside, they saw a large table in a clearing, with two young officials, and four or five. The bureaucrats are working together in a group, while the one who is usually the leading figure in the village, Lizheng, just stands aside and watches respectfully.
Then this Lizheng smiled and greeted when he saw Wang Honestly coming: "Wang's are here, great, then it's your turn. I remember there are four people in your family, right?"
"Yes, yes, but we are the only people who become the Ding Ding." Wang Laoshi replied cautiously. In the past, if you asked about the population of his family, most of them had to be used for corvee according to the number of people, but today we look at this posture. , It should not be.
And then this Lizheng said to the two young staff members who were working on site: "Two little messengers, this is the Honest Wang in our village, and he is also in the ranks of this division."
"Got it—" One of the young staff members opened up a yellow book (that is, the ancient household registration book) on the table, found Wang Laoshi's name, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked at Wang honestly and said: "Laoshi Wang, from Wangjiazhuang in Meng County, the family consists of four people, two of them are Dingkou and three are undergraduates.
Therefore, according to the order issued by the special envoy, your family can be divided into a total of 15 acres (each adult can be divided into five acres, and the minor can be divided into two and a half acres). If it is correct, the next step is I'll divide the land for you. "
"What? Divide the field?" Although Wang Laoshi could hear no word bad, his body was as stupid as he could not move a single move. In his mind, he was just thinking about the division of fields! It's actually going to be divided!
It was Zhao Youtian who was next to him. Seeing that his situation was not right, Wang Laoshi came back to his senses after pushing him a little bit, and after he confirmed it again, he nodded tremblingly, indicating that he was right.
Now that it was confirmed that it was correct, Wang Laoshi saw again that the juvenile clerk began to make a fish scale on the spot.
(That is, the ancient land certificate. Because the map in the booklet is shaped like a fish scale, it is called a fish scale book. In addition, Wang honestly cannot understand what is written in him, but he can still understand the fields painted in it. He knows this is Precious fish scale album, after all, his family had this kind of thing when it was'stretched' a few years earlier).
Moreover, this young clerk is also very skilled in business. Based on the previously measured field area, he draws the shape of the field on the spot, and writes the type of land, such as plain, mountain, waterside, low depression, fertile soil, barren, etc. After that, the number was compiled, and then the name of the owner (that is, Wang Laoshi), hometown, number of fields and so on were noted.
After all this was written, and another certificate of land deed was added, it was handed over to Wang Laoshi. The young clerk just smiled and said, "The villager will collect it. From now on, the 15 acres of land will be It’s yours. If you don’t know how to read, you can ask a literate one to see it for you. As for the specific location, the village will take you to see it."
"Hey! Hey!" And honestly Wang, he couldn't say a word of excitement. Even so far, he still can't understand what is written on the scale book and the title deed, but he can understand... And understand one thing, he has land! His whole family has land! And the amount is still very large, it is a full 15 mu of land!
Although according to the backward era of the late Ming Dynasty, a family of four like this can barely mix enough food and clothing on 15 acres of land. If you want to eat and wear, you have to do other tasks, but this is honest to Wang. In other words, it is really a big pie falling from the sky... With this 15 acres of land, there is a foundation for standing and standing! And as long as you are more diligent in the future, are you afraid that you will not have a good life with food and clothing
"My dear father, you are the savior sent from the sky. Honestly, my king kowtowed to you!" Honestly Wang was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He just thumped and fell to the ground, desperately giving this young official. Kowtowing! Because he didn't know anything else, he only knew that this young official saved their family!
When this young official saw this, his body flashed aside and did not accept his kneeling. The young official just smiled and said, "My fellow, you don't have to thank me. If you want to, thank the dean, uh. , Is the special envoy you call, or that big blue sky! He punished the corrupt officials and gave you the field!"
It was the first time that Wang Laoshi mentioned the big blue sky from his tolerance, so he quickly asked, "Master, what's the name of that big blue sky?"
"His name is Yang Shanlu—" the young official said fascinatingly.
"I remembered." After listening to the truth, Wang nodded heavily. Although he still didn't know how to write these three words, it did not prevent him from remembering the pronunciation of these three words firmly in his mind. Here, he has already decided, and every morning and evening after that, he will go to the incense and pray (wait until the day is over) to commemorate the great kindness of Yang Qingtian!
And the same scene happened in the entire territory of Shanxi. The tens of thousands of people in Shanxi (all those poor people, including a small number of self-employed farmers) have obtained their own land, and countless poor people have returned from The proletariat //// class has become a property-owning class, and they, who were struggling on the death line anytime and anywhere, have gained the right to survive!
(That is to say, originally these people, under the oppression of various dignitaries, turned from people to ghosts, that is, after losing their land, they changed from good people to bandits and bandits. But now, Yang Shanlu has turned them from ghosts into ghosts. People)
Including in the special envoy's mansion, after Yang Shanlu received the report from Sun Changming, the director of the Civil Affairs Department, he was very happy... OK! that's good! Since the administration of Shanxi, this most arduous and most important battle has finally been a complete success!
It can even be said that after solving the most critical land problem, the overall situation of Shanxi governance has been determined! The frame is ready! As long as there are no major mistakes, the improvement of people's livelihood and the improvement of people's living standards have become a foregone conclusion!
Then, in conjunction with other measures, by the time of the summer harvest tomorrow (before he relied on blood transfusions before, but after the crucial summer harvest, if it goes well, it can be self-sufficient, which is equivalent to achieving self-sufficiency from relying on blood transfusion to self-made blood), and by then, Without the scary renters (70% to 80%), Huang Chengcheng's wheat was moved back home in sacks. The people have surplus food and every household has meat, so you can really live and work in peace and contentment!
(At the beginning, he and Emperor Chongzhen agreed that the people's livelihood in Shanxi would be improved in two years. In fact, he spent more than a year, and he could finally do it)
Even if you look farther, the so-called so-called homeowners own their houses and cultivators own their fields, it is for the rule of the world! And now Shanxi, has it reached this level initially? Have this kind of hope
If you look farther, the Shanxi problem will be solved, and then generalize it, and use this as a model. Can the entire 13th province of Daming be handled in the same way? And then really achieve his goal of changing Daming? (It means becoming clear) Yang Shanlu believes in this!
Ps first thank my old friend Qiao Yang 123 for his 588 reward! Thanks for the support! But there are also things that block the mind. I originally uploaded it early to finish a chapter. I got it at ten o’clock last night (usually going to bed at 9:30), and then I changed a bucket of pure water for six yuan this morning, but it still leaked. , It made a puddle of water on the wooden floor of the house... and what was even more disturbing was that the bucket of water I changed last time was also like this, I was also drunk...
So I thought, because the volume of governance in Shanxi has come to an end, it is necessary to prepare the detailed outline of the next volume, and then the next chapter will be very tense, but now, when I look at it, I think it should not be updated tomorrow (for I changed this bucket of water and looked for him twice, but there was no one. We went upstairs and downstairs, which caused me to write a word at half past eight.) Everyone, see you the day after tomorrow... (End of this chapter)
