Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Puff!

But it was too late now.

Zhao Yan's commander had already stabbed Xu Wenjue into the chest.

Xu Wenjue vomited blood because of this, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, who had already heard that his son was coming to stop the court officials from being cleared, happened to come at this time, and also heard Zhao Yan's words that his family rebelled and murdered the officials.

Xu Hongji was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot: "Nizi doesn't understand the law of the king, so he offended the hall, and asked the hall to forgive him! But the Han family will never dare to treason, please learn from the hall!"

As soon as Xu Hongji finished speaking, he also saw the scene of his son Xu Wenjue being killed, and was stunned for a moment.

"If you don't intend to rebel, then cooperate with Qingzhang!"

Zhao Yan came over and said something at this time.

Only then did Xu Hongji come back to his senses, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we cooperate with Qingzhang!"

At this time Zhang Gui came over and said: "Duke Wei, your Lingzi is indeed domineering. Just now, he outrageously wanted to lead his slaves to slaughter officials, and he even knew that Zhao Butang was here, so he acted like this! However, the governor believes that this is just Lingzi's stubbornness. You have nothing to do with it, but if there is another time, you Wei Guogong will not be able to get away with the charge of lax parenting."

"What Uncle Guo said is that I understand, and I would like to thank Uncle Guo for his understanding! The dog deserves to die, and I will teach my children and grandchildren strictly after I go back."

Xu Hong agreed with a trembling voice.

Because even Wei Guogong's mansion was strictly cleaned up, and Zhao Yan even killed elders like Sun Ruyou before, and hung his body in Nanjing City, so the next cleanup work went smoothly.

As a result, the hidden fields of many rich and powerful families were also traced out.

Even the private fields occupied by these rich and powerful families were also traced out.

At the same time, the fields that these rich and powerful families tricked and scattered on many small landlords and commoners were also taken away in the process of clearing their fields.

Naturally, the rich and powerful families suffered heavy losses.

Although all this is the result of Governor Zhao Yan's strict policy of clearing Zhang Tianmu, Zhang Gui is also very pleased about it.

This not only laid the foundation for Zhang Gui's Xichang to recover the tax, but also eased social conflicts.

Of course, Zhang Gui is even more gratified that he doesn't need his relatives to complete the family affairs, which also allows him to have more energy to consolidate this new policy.

What is the most afraid of reform and innovation?

The most feared thing is death and death!

Zhang Gui didn't want that in the next few years, there would be a change of power in the Ming court, and the forces opposing the reform would come to power, which would allow these rich and powerful families to take back the occupied fields.

Therefore, Zhang Gui asked Xichang to organize a missionary team to mobilize the local people, especially some poor scholars, to work hard to consolidate the land they had lost and regained before the tax was collected.

On this day, Zhang Gui also personally met with a poor family scholar Lu Cheng who just got back the 50 acres of fertile land that was seized by the former chief assistant Xu's family not long ago, and asked, "How did the Xu family take away your family?" Fifty acres of fertile land?"

Lu Cheng said: "These 50 acres of fertile land were originally reclaimed by Dafu and the clan members on the riverside, so they are new fields, and they were going to be registered, but because the 50 acres of fertile land is next to the Xu family's field, so they are not Being targeted by the Xu family, the Xu family took advantage of the great power of the family and deceived none of the students' families to have a reputation, so they colluded with the subordinate staff and allocated the fifty mu to the Xu family, but the Tian Fu asked the students' families to pay it! My father sued the government However, he was convicted by the government of slandering Yuanfu, exiled for three thousand miles, and died in another country. When my father was arrested, the student was young, and my widowed mother dared not sue again, so I have been wronged until now. Fortunately, now Your Majesty is holy and clear about the land, which forced the Xu family to return the land to the student's family."

"Do you want to keep this property forever?"

Zhang Gui asked after listening.

Lu Cheng replied: "Students naturally want to!"

Zhang Gui nodded: "Then join our West Factory and receive training from our West Factory! And then protect the achievements of the New Deal, prevent someone from abolishing the New Deal in the future, and prevent the Xu family from taking back your family's land!"

After hearing this, Lu Cheng asked, "Would you be able to keep the achievements of the New Deal and the property of the students' homes by accepting the training from the West Factory?"

Zhang Gui nodded and said: "In order to solve the problem that poor people have no way to serve the country, our West Factory has set up a special training class in Nanjing. You can sign up for the special training class to receive relevant academic training, and then choose to apply for the military training school or Participate in the imperial examination, or stay in our factory in the west, no matter which option you choose, it will give a humble scholar like you a chance to defend the country and family."

Lu Cheng bowed immediately and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo, for giving the students a way out. The students are willing to go to the special training class."

"Write him a letter of introduction!"

Therefore, Zhang Gui gave instructions to Xia Yunyi from the experience department.

"yes!"

Xia Yunyi agreed.

Not long after persuading another poor scholar to receive training in his West Factory, Zhang Gui came to the governor's office and asked Zhao Yan: "Zhao Butang, how is the Qingzhang farm going on here?"

"On the South Zhili side, Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, the three richest prefectures, and Taicang Prefecture have been cleared. On the Zhejiang side, the richest Hangzhou mansion has been cleared."

As Zhao Yan said that, he asked someone to bring over the yellow book and fish scale book that had been re-printed for Zhang Gui to have a look at.

Zhang Gui took advantage of Zhao Yan to hand over the candle light, turned around a few times: "Then Xichang will go after these prefectures first."

As he said that, Zhang Gui announced the experience of the various generals of the Xichang Tax Police Corps and the Experience Department of the Xichang Tax Police Corps overnight, and said: "The Experience Department will immediately receive the tax payment archives of various prefectures and counties from the Ministry of Households and the current situation. Calculating the results of the Qingzhang, there is no need to throw away sesame seeds to pick up watermelons. Regardless of the tax arrears of small households, first calculate the amount of taxes of several large households with the largest land area, and calculate one, and a general manager will lead the army to carry out the calculation. Armed taxation! Once you encounter disobedience, you can directly punish it as a crime of treason. You must bring the flag of the king's order, and you must bring artillery and new explosives, as well as rocket slips and thunderbolts. Don't be troublesome. In short, you must use Ways of fighting to collect taxes. Get it?!"

"clear!"

Sun Chuanting, Huang Degong and other general managers immediately agreed.

Zhang Gui nodded because of this: "Start to act!"

"yes!"

Next, the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, which was temporarily used as the Xichang yamen, kept the sound of abacus all night long, and even some humble scholars who had just taken over the training of the West Factory and mastered the preliminary bookkeeping method were put into use.

And the general managers of the West Factory also started to rush to the homes of these powerful officials and gentry immediately after receiving the list recording the tax arrears of the various powerful officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Mansion.

After Qingzhang found out, among these noble officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xu Jie family, the chief assistant of the Jiajing Longqing Dynasty, has been annexing land wantonly since the Jiajing Dynasty, so today, it is still the largest landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, with the most tax arrears.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting came here first with his subordinate Xichang Official School.

When the concierge of Xu's mansion saw the official school from Xichang, he was not afraid for a while. After all, there is a saying called the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate. Therefore, the fox who has long been accustomed to pretending to be a tiger, still as usual, asked angrily with his hips on his hips: "Which yamen are you from?! Don't you know the rules?!"

Snapped!

A Xichang official school slapped the concierge first, and then ordered: "Open the door immediately! Xichang collects taxes!"

The concierge who was beaten was furious: "I'll fuck you! Dare to beat me."

Puff!

As the concierge spoke, he drew out his knife, but as soon as he drew out the knife, a Xichang official school opposite raised his hand and fired a gun at his neck.

There was a big hole in the neck of the porter on the spot, blood was spilled, and he fell to the ground.

At the same time, the Xichang official school who was talking to the concierge just now continued: "Shangyu: Anyone who deliberately obstructs the emperor's envoy will be killed! You wait to open the door quickly, and even if you dare to disobey orders, you will end up like this!"
