Chapter 510 Long Live My Emperor

Chapter 510 Long Live My Emperor
Outside the palace of the imperial envoy, although there were soldiers standing guard, there were many people watching and waiting a little farther away.

It is a big event for everyone to re-measure the land and register it.

How to re-measure the land law is related to the vital interests of many people, so they all want to know the first time.

However, they waited, no one came out, waited, and no one came out, so they started talking.

"There must be a lot of disputes inside, and it's over!"

"This is absolute. If you can't argue, you will freeze!"

"That's not necessarily true. Aren't there factory guards here? Those people are all vicious, and they will throw knives at every turn!"

"But this side is not weak, right? A lot of them have iron coupons of the alchemy book. No matter how powerful the factory guards are, can they still mess with them?"

"That's true, I don't know who will win and who will lose?"

"..."

No one came out for a long time, some people dispersed, but there were also some people who were watching and wanted to know the situation as soon as possible.

Finally, when it was almost noon, there was movement at the door. Immediately, those onlookers immediately cheered up and stared at the situation immediately.

As a result, they found that it was those local gentry and nobles who went out, and they all looked like dead parents. They were so distraught that everyone wept, so pitiful!

As soon as they had this idea, they were immediately shocked. These are the most prestigious gentry and nobles in Yingtian Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion!If they want to return the pity?What should people do that day?
After recovering from their senses, seeing the miserable appearances of these country gentry and nobles, they knew that they must have been beaten in the confrontation inside!

This time, they were puzzled, it shouldn't be!
It would be conceivable if Governor Nama and the factory guard bullied some of them so that they would not be able to fight back.However, looking at these people now, including those who have iron coupons of Dan Shu, they all look like they are dead fathers and mothers. How could it be like this?

Didn't the original account books of the fields disappear?This battle is at least half a catty!How could it be one-sided?

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly heard cheers from afar.

But because it is far away, I can't hear it very clearly.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look, and someone saw it, and said curiously: "It seems to be the place of the Department of Political Affairs over there, right? What happened?"

"Could it be that there is a funny joke? Is it something... some sketch?"

"It doesn't sound like it sounds alike, why are you so happy?"

"..."

Amidst their discussions, there were people running away in all directions, and some of them were also running towards this direction. It seemed that they were still shouting something while running.

This time, they are even more strange.

Even the dejected nobles and local squires stopped getting on their sedan chairs, and looked up suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

Perhaps it was because the people over there ran fast, but the people here finally knew it quickly.

I saw a man, not well dressed, looking ecstatic, shouting while running: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."

"..." Everyone who heard it was dumbfounded. What's going on?
It's like this, I've never seen it before!
Therefore, someone with a good cause rushed over to stop the running man, and immediately asked: "This brother, is it Brother Liu? What's the matter, what happened?"

The person who was stopped saw those gentlemen who were downcast and looked at him with a little curiosity at a glance, and immediately understood why these gentlemen were like this.

Therefore, this person definitely did it on purpose, and immediately raised his voice and shouted with joy: "Don't you know? The court re-measured the land this time and registered it in the book. Tenants can rent official land, and the rent will be paid. It’s more than doubled!”

When he said this, he deliberately raised some words again.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the faces of those nobles and local gentry suddenly became even uglier.

This is taking their land to be a good person!

"That's a good thing, but I seem to remember, you seem to have a farm at home, right?" The man seemed to recognize the person, and asked a little suspiciously.

The Liu brother who was stopped immediately laughed and said, "Yes, but you don't know that the imperial court measured the land this time, registered it and made the book, and determined the number of grain fields according to the amount of tax paid!"

"Ah..." Hearing this, the crowd outside were all amazed, so it was this?
Before they had time to think about it, they heard Brother Liu cast a sidelong glance at those nobles and local gentry whose complexions had become very bad, and then said loudly on purpose: "You don't know, do you? Poor people like us, at the beginning When paying taxes, I was forced by some people to pay more taxes, and I went to labor for some big households, and now I’m fine, my majesty! Use this tax to set up grain fields, like my family, it’s not bad Grain fields are running low, hahaha..."

No matter how hard he laughed, he couldn't stop it. Anyone who heard it could tell that it came from the bottom of his heart.

Those onlookers turned their heads to look at those dignitaries and local gentry, and finally understood.

On weekdays, in normal times, it is these gentlemen who bully others and pass on all the taxes and labor they should bear to people like Brother Liu. If they can't hold on, their families will be ruined; , and finally couldn't hold on.

As a result, the emperor was wise enough to reversely determine the amount of grain fields based on the amount of tax paid. It is no wonder that these gentlemen would be mournful, but this man like Brother Liu was so ecstatic!

"I won't tell you anymore, I have to hurry home to announce the good news!" Brother Liu saluted the person who stopped him, then glanced at the mournful old men, and shouted loudly on purpose: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor..."

That's it, shouting again and running away!

"What are you doing in a daze, don't leave!" A squire couldn't take it anymore, he stomped on the sedan chair vigorously, urging the bearer to leave quickly.

Hearing this, the other squires and nobles didn't want to stay anymore, and left quickly.

The onlookers didn't have much fun to watch, and more importantly, they already knew the truth of the matter, so they went back to report the news one after another.

With their departure, as well as the audience from the Department of Political Affairs and Communications, news about how the imperial court re-measured the land and registered it was immediately spread.

Immediately, the people on the Nanjing side were divided into two groups.

A very small number of people, that is, the part with very high status, are all downcast, as if mourning;

And for the vast majority of people, that is, ordinary people, it's like the Chinese New Year.

For the middle peasants, those who have borne too much land tax like Brother Liu, can get more grain fields this time and look forward to it with joy;
And for most people without land, the cost of renting land from the government will be greatly reduced, which is also good for them, making them all think that the court can charge more this time to become official land , so that they can rent land from the government, so that those lords can be tenants.

For those hermits who have just been cleared out, they are actually still very worried about the future.I don't know what will happen to the imperial court. Is it better for them to live in the name of those lords in the future, or is it really like the imperial court said, not only the life of a hermit is better!
As the news spread, people in their group immediately had a bottom line in their hearts!

Whether the past will be easier or the future will be easier, no matter how stupid a person is, he can tell the difference!
All of a sudden, in the city of Nanjing, the voices of "Long live my emperor" really kept coming and going.And as the news spread outside the city, the cry of "Long live my emperor" also sounded outside the city.

A large number of ordinary people, including those hidden households who were found out, spontaneously gathered at the gates of the state government offices to wait for the government to re-measure the land. If they needed help, they could immediately respond with a shout.

Speaking of Yingtian Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion at this time, those people are most keen on the early start of the re-measurement of the land, and they definitely did not run away.

If anyone dares to stop this matter, they will spontaneously go up and spray!
"Do you understand the court laws?"

"It's the one who pays the tax, how can it be the one who doesn't pay the tax?"

"..."

Those nobles and servants of the local squires, and the old ones, who have seen these people who are usually like sheep, suddenly changed their appearance?

Seriously, they are really not used to it!
They really want to use their previous power to oppress them, but behind these people, there are still local officials, elite soldiers from all walks of life, and even factory guards!

Who dares to try it?

Outside the pilot Yingtian Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion, there are many calls for the imperial court to quickly measure the land.

How many people were dumbfounded by the occurrence of this scene!
Even Ma Shiying and the two factory guard chiefs realized for the first time how powerful the people are!How smooth it will be to follow the true people's will!

No, Li Ruolian, who was in a good mood, jokingly said to Ma Shiying: "Hehe, Mr. Ma, it seems that your reputation of Qingtian may not be able to escape!"

"Haha, where, there, I just did a little bit of my job!" Ma Shiying also laughed when he heard this, but he didn't get carried away. "This is all due to His Majesty's strategizing, and it is His Majesty's credit!"

This point, no one has objection!There will be no objection!

Afterwards, Ma Shiying, Li Ruolian, Wang Dehua and others naturally sent secret memorandums to Emperor Chongzhen regarding the rectification situation on the Jiangnan side.
