Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 Land Reform Declaration ([-])

All the people fell silent the moment Liu Hongjian stood up. The woman holding the child comforted the crying child, hoping to hear Liu Hongjian's speech on the desk.

From under the desk, Liu Hongjian took out the earthy loudspeaker that he ordered the carpenter to make last night—a strange object made of cardboard bent into an arc.

"Hey, you can hear me!" Liu Hongjian let out a groan. It seemed that the effect was not bad, and it shocked the few uncle-level people standing in front.

"Let me introduce myself. I am An Guobo of the Ming Dynasty, the teacher of the present prince (although I have never taught him anything), the commander of Jinyiwei, and the governor of Jiliao, Liu Hongjian."

It's not that Liu Hongjian wants to pretend to be thirteen. These ordinary people don't have much knowledge. If you want them to believe what you say, you have to wrap yourself up, otherwise you don't say anything and just jump out to make cakes for them. The devil trust you.

The effect was indeed there. Most of the people began to whisper to each other, asking if there was such a person in the imperial court. After all, any one of these four official positions would be someone they looked up to.

But the common people did not show a look of joy. After all, no matter how big your official is, it has nothing to do with me. Did you give me food or money? They only care about what to eat today, what to eat tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. won't starve to death.

The effect was achieved, and Liu Hongjian waved his hands to silence everyone.

"Shanxi has been occupied by bandits for more than a year. I think you have learned about the recent changes in our Shanxi. Yes, Shanxi has been recovered under the heroic fighting of our Ming soldiers!
These general-looking people in front of you are the leaders of the bandit army. For more than ten years, these bandits have committed all kinds of crimes in our Daming, burning, killing, looting, and they are full of evil! "

Liu Hongjian was full of expectations that the images of the people being filled with righteous indignation and scolding the bandit army did not appear. In fact, Liu Hongjian still thought too highly of these people.

Most of the common people looked at the high official of the imperial court expressionlessly, wondering what was the big deal for this high official to call them here, could it be this?

When the bandit army ruled Shanxi, they had no food to eat. Did they have food to eat when the Ming Dynasty ruled?

The world is not benevolent and treats all things as straw dogs, and the sages are not benevolent and treat the people as straw dogs. Thousands of palaces tell the truth, prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer.

Liu Hongjian was heartbroken. Soldiers are not soldiers for the purpose of defending their families, scholars are not officials for the benefit of the common people, and the common people farm the land just to feed themselves. Education, without education, there is no hope for the country!

"Behind these bandit leaders... are eight profiteering families who occupy nearly [-]% of the arable land in Shanxi!"

Liu Hongjian paused for a moment and decided to be more honest. As soon as he finished speaking, it really had some effect, and the dull eyes of many people finally lit up.

For 200 years since the Ming Dynasty, the rulers have almost always worn a pair of trousers with the gentry, and rarely attacked the landlord class for no reason. The reason is simple. The old Zhu family treated civil servants and military generals favorably, and most of the land was directly or indirectly in their hands.

As long as someone touches their interests, it will be jointly suppressed by all bureaucratic groups, and then they will be condemned with words and pens, keeping you ruined and infamous for thousands of years.

"These profiteers robbed the inside and outside, funded the bandit army, colluded with the Tartars to invade our Daming, plundered and seized the land that should belong to you, so that your wives were scattered and starved to death everywhere.

These profiteers rob you of your land, not only let you continue to work hard for them, but also want you to be grateful, in the name of saying that they feed you!

After a year of exhausting and exhausting work, in the end, they are still not full enough to eat and wear warm clothes. What about these profiteers?Take the food you grow with your sweat and sell it to you at a high price!Is there a more shameless and despicable person in the world?Why?
Those lands were originally passed down from your ancestors to raise your children and grandchildren, I just ask one question.

Do you hate it? "

When it comes to the land, many people are engrossed in their spirits, the land is their life.

In the past, the lifeblood of the common people was not so much controlled by the peasant army as it was controlled by these landlords and profiteers. The peasant army at least knew that all the poor families of these common people were jingling, and did not continue to exploit them much.

But the landlords are different. They can immediately cut off the rations of any tenant who they dislike. The only thing waiting for them is starvation to death.

hatred?The word hate can't express the resentment and anger in the hearts of the people. They can't wait to swallow these landlords alive.

"Kill them!"

Someone yelled, and instantly all the people raised their fists and yelled.

"Kill them! Kill them..."

The effect is achieved!Liu Hongjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, the popular support is available, but it is extremely difficult to achieve good results.

Right now he just knocked down two important towns in Shanxi, but it's not just these two cities in Shanxi that are garrisoned by peasant troops.

And he doesn't have enough troops and time to sweep it, so he can only hand it over to these people, and use their resentment towards the landlord and their thirst for land to get twice the result with half the effort.

But that's not enough!Liu Hongjian waved his hands and waited for the people to settle down again.

"They are so hateful, it is not a pity to kill them! But this is not the point.

His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sympathized with the suffering of the people in Shanxi, so he specially ordered Ben Bo to take full control of the farmland in Shanxi. Ben Bo decided that all the cultivated land in Shanxi will be returned to you, to the people who have lived in Shanxi for generations, and to you!
From today onwards, there will be no landlords in Shanxi, and there will be no need for tenant farmers in Shanxi. Shanxi belongs to Ming Dynasty, and it belongs to you too!Whoever wants to take away your land, don't be afraid, roll up your sleeves and beat him up! "

Liu Hongjian held up the loudspeaker and shouted with his eyes wide open. What he said was cynical and earth-shattering, and Bi Zigong and Wei Penghong around him trembled in shock.

Among the many nobles, civil servants, and generals in the Ming Dynasty, who didn't have hundreds of acres of fertile land in their hands?A few hundred mu is not enough. I heard that some relatives who are particularly capable of messing around have land in their hands that is counted in tens of thousands of mu.

This is against all bureaucratic gentry, and all the people are silent!If Liu Hongjian said to ask these landlords to give them more food, they might still believe it, but this... happiness came too suddenly.

"It doesn't stop there, all the people in Shanxi will be exempted from taxes for three years, and when I return to the court to return to my command, I will definitely win more rewards for my people in Shanxi! Benbo keeps his word!"

It was not that Liu Hongjian did not miss the counterattack of the gentry and bureaucracy, but Shanxi had disappeared from the territory of Ming Dynasty for more than a year, and the bureaucracy of Ming Dynasty was a vacuum here, gentry?A gentleman from Dashun?

Go to hell!
