Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 536 Xiange Yayi [Part 4]
When Gao Wushi heard this, he roughly guessed what was going on in his heart, but he didn't show anything, he just asked, "I don't know what's the big deal?"

Zhang Xueyan said: "Earlier, Elder Xuan presided over the clearing of the land of Zhang Juzheng in the whole country. After investigation, it was found that the total land area of ​​the country was about 720 million hectares (no wind note: slightly more than Zhang Juzheng's Qing Zhang in history, and the setting of the novel does not need to be examined in detail), which is an increase compared with the 15th year of Hongzhi. Nearly 300 million hectares, or nearly [-] million mu. According to the investigation at that time, Huguang, Shandong and other places increased the most after the Qingzhang. However, after a detailed investigation of Liangjing and other places, it was found that only in the vicinity of Shuntian in Beizhili There are a large number of honored relatives and relatives Yintian."

Gao Wu said honestly: It really is.

He sighed and asked, "What happened?"

"The result is not very good." Zhang Xueyan shook his head and said: "As early as the second year of Longqing, the Ministry of Household Affairs agreed that the limit for the decline of the family's Zhuangtian from generation to generation, specifically: those who buy land from the clan and do not lose to conscripts will not be admitted as officials. All honored relatives and farmland were collected by Yousi. However, at that time, there was still an endless stream of people begging for land grants and land tax exemptions. Therefore, on June [-] this year, at the request of the cabinet, the emperor ordered the north and south Zhili, Shandong, Shaanxi and other provinces to All honored relatives and villages and fields have been cleared, and only positive numbers are required to be given according to regulations. Anyone who exceeds the amount or occupies it will be dealt with according to the law, and the land rent collected will be released by the Ministry of Finance."

This is the meaning of the question that should be advanced according to Gao Gongqing's thought of Zhang Tianmu. Gao Wushi nodded and asked, "How many hidden fields have been found?"

Zhang Xueyan said: "Shuntian and other eight prefectures and counties have a total of 830 hectares of land, such as Zhang Chuguan, Beibian Muma Juntun, etc., with an annual amount of 920 taels of silver and 24 shi of grain. He also honored the new and old Zhuangtian one. In case of more than 550 hectares."

Gao Wushi frowned: "That's all?"

"That's right, that's the problem." Zhang Xueyan said, "There are so many honorable fields near the capital. In fact, everyone knows it well. People will believe it, right?"

Of course, according to Gao's pragmatic guess, in fact, even if the land occupied by Xungui is not increased by ten times, it should be very easy to increase by five times.

But the problem is, Qingzhang’s farmland mu is an activity of your household department. If you think the value found out is wrong, you can send someone to re-investigate it. What’s the use of asking me?

Seeing that Gao Wushi remained silent, Zhang Xueyan strengthened his tone slightly: "Seeking the truth, Qingzhang Tianmu is the behest of Elder Xuan. I heard from Wang Shu'an (Wang Guoguang, former Minister of the Household Department) that you have repeatedly mentioned this matter back then." Jianyan... Now that the clearing of the Mintian land has been basically completed, the clearing of the noble land is in the ascendant. If the capital cannot clear the land successfully, and only [-] hectares of land will be cleared back and forth, what will happen to Nanjing, where the hidden land is more serious? Needless to say, if honors and honors cannot be cleared up, what will happen to the feudal princes and relatives? Is this what you want to see?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "It is true that Wansheng has made repeated suggestions on this matter, but how to handle the matter specifically, and how can Wansheng get involved if he is dressed in white? Also, why did Qing Zhang of the Household Department only clear this little field? Zhang Butang knows the whole story ?”

Zhang Xueyan said sternly: "Xungui Yintian is nothing more than those methods. It's not that they can't be found out. It's that the officials of the household department have lived in Beijing for a long time and have been bought or threatened by the Xungui eagle dogs who have heard the news. They can report it within ten stops. One stop and two stops is not bad. But there is still one person in the world who is not afraid of the power of the nobles, does not greedy the bribes of the nobles, upholds justice and upholds morality, adheres to the principle of balance and establishes rules-it is you who seek the truth! "

Zhang Xueyan stood up, bowed his hands to Gao Yushi suddenly, and bowed deeply: "Wang Qiuzhen will inherit the legacy of Xuan Lao, manage money for the country, not afraid of words, not greedy for money, and not afraid of authority!"

Zhang Xueyan was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing. He was a "younger" that Gao Gong had always looked forward to in those days. He once praised him as "Zhang Shengzhuo is suave and suave, and he is unknown to others. He is a sharp weapon when he sets things wrong." This means that he is a person Very good at grasping the key points, the more complicated the situation is, the more accurately he can pinpoint the key points and get things done in one fell swoop.

Gao Gong regarded him as his junior and called him "Sheng Zhang", but after all it was not a teacher-student relationship, Gao Wushi didn't have the guts to treat him as his peer, how dare he accept his gift, stood up quickly to avoid his body, and He returned a salute, and said: "Mr. Zhang is like this, how dare you be a boy... I just don't know what Mr. Zhang wants you to do?"

Seeing Gao Wushi say that, Zhang Xueyan was overjoyed and looked at Wei Xuezeng. Wei Xuezeng nodded slightly at him. There are nearly a hundred students in the mathematics department, and it took three years to clean up the people's fields all over the country. Now I am trapped by the power of the nobles, and it is really difficult for the officials of the household department to do things. I also want to borrow some students from the mathematics department from Qiuzhen to help Qingzhang."

He paused for a while, as if he was afraid that Gao Yushi would disagree, and quickly added: "Of course, the allowance given by the Ministry of Households before will still be paid, and the head office promises that this time it will increase by [-]% compared to the previous one!"

It turned out to be the idea!
Gao Wushi thought to himself: The students in my craftsman school are all my servants, and I take care of everything for them, so naturally they don't have to worry about being honorable.But the problem is, if I agree, all the nobles in Beijing will target me... I haven't even got a damn Jinshi yet, so it seems a bit troublesome to offend the nobles now.Besides, I have such a good relationship with these guys now, especially Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong. They made great achievements in the last battle of defeating Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. I sold them like this , It seems a bit disrespectful, right?

Qingzhang Tianmu, this matter must be done, otherwise, as Zhang Xueyan said, if Beijing does not come down, Nanjing will be useless, and there are definitely more honorable and hidden fields in Nanjing than in Beijing—— Anyway, in Beijing, the emperor and a lot of civil servants are watching, but in Nanjing, the real sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows how many hidden fields there are!
If this is not cleared up, what will happen to Yintian, the vassal king's clan relative, will he be able to pay it off?
Moreover, although these dignitaries have a high status, they are small in number after all. If they are not able to deal with it, what will be said about the contribution fields, trickery fields, etc. of the scholar-bureaucrats and scholars in the future?Stop doing it?If you don't do it, Daming will probably die!

It’s nothing more than Zhang Juzheng extending Daming’s life for 50 years, and Gao Gong’s life extension for 60 years this time. Even if you add Kaihai or something, let’s count it as 100 years, but in the end, it’s not all the same.

It seems that this honorable land should be cleared or cleared, but if you, Zhang Xueyan, put a high hat on me, I will help you charge into the battle and pull hatred.Well, I have to take care of this matter, I must minimize the hatred value, and I have to get some other benefits to make up for it...

"Zhang Butang." Gao Wushi changed his title, which meant to remind Zhang Xueyan that I had to get down to business: "This matter, Wansheng can agree to it."

Both Zhang Xueyan and Wei Xuezeng looked happy, but Gao Wushi immediately continued: "However, you have to give me some time, you can't do it right away."

Zhang Xueyan was slightly taken aback: "Oh...why is that?"

"You also know that we are about to face a test tonight, time is tight and tasks are heavy..."

Zhang Xueyan immediately heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and said: "That is, that is, the importance of the test, I will know it." After a pause, he said: "I, Mr. Shen Ge and Pan Butang are still a little bit There is friendship, and I know that these two are serious gentlemen, and they will not let the talents be left behind. If you want to be a real talent, you will definitely be in high school."

Old Shen Ge naturally refers to Shen Shixing, and Pan Butang refers to Pan Sheng, Minister of Rites.

Zhang Xueyan is different from Wei Xuezeng. Wei Xuezeng has long been a member of the Gao Party. Although Zhang Xueyan was promoted by Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong had a close relationship at that time, and Zhang Xueyan had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng at that time. Shen Shixing of the same branch is also quite friendly.

As for Pan Sheng, his qualifications are actually very old, but he has never been able to get into the cabinet. Now that he is getting older, it is estimated that his whole mind is to go to the cabinet before he retires. In the future, his family's family status will also improve a lot.

When Zhang Xueyan said this, it was obvious that he was going to say hello to Shen Shixing and Pan Sheng, who were most likely to be the main examiner and deputy examiner of this conference.

Gao Yushi doesn't need them to give him water and cheat, as long as he doesn't deliberately make things difficult, so Gao Yushi doesn't intend to speak out against Zhang Xueyan's hint.

He just smiled, pretending that he didn't understand, and said: "Then thank you for your good words first."

　I drove back to my hometown in the early morning tonight and lived for half a month. I wonder if the speed of writing books will drop... I remember that the position of the computer over there is a bit inappropriate, and the sitting posture is quite uncomfortable.
