Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 509 The weather is really good
"I officially inform you today that after the war, a lot of waste is waiting to be done. It is imperative to re-measure the land and register the fields!" Ma Shiying looked at the dark crowd below, and said loudly with a smile, "Because you all have Those who are famous and famous will be given preferential treatment, and after that, I ask you to cooperate more to complete the emperor's will!"

Hearing this, Xungui and the local gentry looked at each other with a trace of disdain on their faces, and said nothing.

At this time, do you remember that we all have fame?before?
The emperor's decree is for you, and we need to cooperate in cutting the flesh, what a beautiful idea!
Seeing that they were silent, Ma Shiying responded with silence and didn't care, still smiling and said: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Although Xu Wenjue is only the eldest son, he represents Wei Guogong, so he is naturally standing at the front. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but sneer, and said with a sneer: "What opinions can we have? As long as the adults act according to the law , we, as nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and you all are people of merit, how could we know how to break the law, so we should fully cooperate!"

Upon hearing his words, the other dignitaries and local squires all echoed.

"Yes, yes, as long as the adults act according to the law, we will naturally cooperate!"

"That's right, my lord acts according to the law, and it's only natural for us to cooperate. But if your lord doesn't act according to the law, how do you think we cooperate?"

"If your lord plays any tricks, the Da Ming law can still cure you!"

"Emperor Taizu has just manifested his spirit, and when dealing with corrupt officials, he should be killed and hacked!"

"Yes, anyone who violates the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" is a corrupt official, and he will never run away!"

"..."

They all took the opportunity to tease Ma Shiying with words, and at the same time they all stared coldly at Li Ruolian, commander of Jinyiwei, and Wang Dehua, admiral of Dongchang, sitting on both sides of Ma Shiying.

What they mean is very clear.

But Li Ruolian and Wang Dehua have always been expressionless, nothing has changed; Ma Shiying, on the other hand, is still smiling.

Fortunately, he can still laugh!
Of course Ma Shiying could laugh, and even his patience was surprisingly good. He didn't care that so many people were yelling, making the lobby look like a vegetable market.

Seeing this scene, the people below were suddenly a little suspicious.

Why does this Ma Shiying look a little wrong!
He can still laugh, isn't he really afraid of "Law of the Ming Dynasty"?
Thinking of this, the voices in the lobby became smaller and smaller, and even the local gentry with those low-level achievements who stood in the courtyard gradually lost their voices.

Finally, the lobby became quiet again.

Until this time, Ma Shiying smiled and said: "I understand that you are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, so I naturally attach great importance to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty". With the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" as the most important thing, it is absolutely impossible for this official to do anything that breaks the law!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenjue and the others felt even more wrong.

Why do you feel that Ma Shiying, a dog official, seems to have a plan in mind?Isn't the field account book burned out?He wants to re-measure the land, where is the basis?
While they were thinking about it, they heard Ma Shiying say to them again: "According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", you all have fame and fame, and there are limited exemptions from land taxes and labor. , that is very clear; I will allow you to report the grain fields that have been investigated without evidence and that have paid taxes. As for other grain fields, they must not belong to you. These unowned lands will be demarcated Return to Guantian."

Upon hearing this, there was a "boom" in the lobby, and it exploded in one fell swoop.

How can you do this?

Absolutely not like this!
Officials and gentry are exempted from this, even if the quota has been continuously expanded after successive dynasties, it is only limited!
Now it is the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, and according to the [-]-year preferential exemption regulations, a new regulation has been "doubled": Beijing officials are exempt from [-] mu of land for the first rank, and [-] mu for the second rank.Decrease from below to [-] mu of eight-pin free land.Foreign officials are halved.Unofficials are exempted from [-] mu of land, tribute students are exempted from [-] mu of land, and supervisors and students are exempted from [-] mu of land.Six-tenths of the post-official township officials are exempted.

Even this limit is far less than the grain fields owned by people with fame like them; as for paying taxes, who will pay taxes?Only a fool will pay taxes, at most it is a symbolic payment.

Ma Shiying, a dog official, if he really wants to do it this way, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...

Thinking of this, remembering that most of the grain fields are about to disappear, and people really act according to the law, and they can't find any mistakes. Suddenly, under the panic, many of the older local gentry fainted on the spot !

Suddenly, there was chaos on both sides of the lobby and courtyard.Some people rushed to help, some called for help, some wanted to leave, but they were all blocked;
On the main seat in the lobby, Ma Shiying and the two factory guard chiefs sat firmly on Mount Tai, completely indifferent, and let them scream "buzzing".

But this time, Ma Shiying didn't wait for them to calm down, but after he felt the same, he suddenly slapped the gavel, and immediately there was a "pop" sound in the lobby, saying that these people who were talking in low voices and at a loss what to do Both Xungui and the squire were taken aback, they stopped talking immediately, and looked towards the chief seat upon hearing the sound.

At this time, Ma Shiying no longer had a smile on his face, and his expression became serious, and he even shouted a little harshly: "You are all famous people, and you are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty. There should be no one who knows the law and breaks the law, right?"

After a pause, his tone softened a bit, and then he continued: "I know that you will not break the law knowingly, so I will confirm the number of your grain fields according to your restrictions and exemptions and tax payment. As for the specific grain fields For the sake of the fact that you are the pillars of the country, I will also give you a convenience!"

Having said that, he pointed to the outside of the lobby, and continued: "There are pens and inks at the door, you should write down which grain fields you belong to, don't say you don't remember where your own grain fields are. If that's the case, then this official will not be polite, and I can only distribute the grain fields to you according to the information I have!"

After hearing this, the nobles in the lobby, as well as those high-status country gentry, were dumbfounded.

They knew that Ma Shiying wanted to beat them to death with a hammer, and it was impossible to even go back and discuss it.

However, if you want to object to these decisions of Ma Shiying here, how can you object?

Isn't this just acting in accordance with the law?I can’t tell him, oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to pay the tax, can I pay it now?
They are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, but they can forget to pay taxes?This is simply unreasonable!

In other words, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, I had no money last year, so I owed and failed to pay taxes. Now that I have money, can I make up for it?
With such words, it is no problem to deceive the emperor who is far away in the capital. Anyway, it is impossible for him to leave the palace, let alone leave the capital.

But Ma Shiying is in Nanjing, and he can find out whether they have money or not with just a simple search!
If they had no money, wouldn't everyone else starve to death?However, those middle-aged households, those who have left households, etc., don’t all pay taxes!
When they were in such a hurry, Wang Dehua, the admiral of Dongchang, suddenly smiled and said, "Emperor Taizu just said that corrupt officials should be killed and hacked. It just so happens that our factory guards are a little free. The meaning of Emperor Taizu conveyed, it must be carried out properly!"

Hearing what he said, it meant that if they didn't follow Ma Shiying's plan, they would be corrupt officials. According to the standards of corrupt officials in Emperor Taizu's time, they should be killed and hacked. It is estimated that there are not many people left.

Thinking of this, suddenly, a large number of people in the lobby and the outside courtyard fainted again.

Some even supported the fainted ones, and finally came to their senses. After hearing this, they both fainted and became arhats.

A farce was staged inside and outside the imperial envoy's hall.

Most of the people panicked; while the personal guards standing on both sides, as well as the factory guards, stood upright, watching the group of people panicking, and occasionally looking up at the sky, secretly applauding in their hearts. One: Today is really a good weather!

Ma Shiying sat on the main seat, feeling extremely happy in his heart, seeing their expressions, he felt extraordinarily refreshed.

After a while, feeling that it was almost done, he didn't wait any longer, picked up the gavel again, and made a "snap" sound, making the inside and outside of the hall quiet.

He didn't care about those who fainted, and with a serious expression, he said immediately: "I think I have made it clear that it's getting late, and I don't want to delay you, so I will give you a whole morning. After lunch, If you still haven't decided on the location of the grain field, then I will assign it to you!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the magistrate on the right side who had been silent all the time, and said, "I believe you should have understood what I have explained to you. From noon onwards, you should go back to your home and follow this immediately. There is a mistake. At that time, I will also send troops to assist you, with sufficient manpower, to complete the errands assigned by His Majesty as soon as possible, this is the duty of a minister."

After finishing speaking, Ma Shiying paused and added: "Your Majesty also explained that the assessment of you this year will be carried out by the official, and it will depend on your performance this time!"

Officials in the Ming Dynasty were all assessed, and those in the capital were called Jingcha. Officials who excelled in the assessment were promoted, and those who failed in the assessment were naturally punished.Therefore, all officials attach great importance to it, which often leads to party disputes.

But this time, the power is in the hands of Ma Shiying, among other things, at least the official future of these prefects and county officials is decided by Ma Shiying.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the chief officials are all officials in other places, and the chief officials of Yingtian Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion are not locals. After hearing Ma Shiying's words, they all bowed and responded loudly.
