Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 649
As the new year of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is approaching, each yamen is already distributing the annual Qinzheng silver and Yanglian silver to let everyone have a good year, and news about the vassal kings from all over the country is also being sent to the palace one after another.

The first is the news about Fu Wang's mansion reported by Jin Yiwei Luoyang Qianhu.

After sending people into the mansion late at night and setting fire to the two small granaries in the Fuwang Mansion, Chu Guoyong immediately sent his subordinate captain to besiege the Fuwang Mansion in the name of catching thieves.

The Luoyang government office that has been informed is naturally happy to watch from the sidelines, and those Luoyang melon-eating people who don't know where they are, after being surprised, climbed up the wall of their own courtyard or the big tree in the courtyard every day in the days that followed, watching how Jin Yiwei was doing Take the thief.

But what surprised the citizens of Luoyang was that these captains in Jinyi did not rush into the mansion to catch the legendary Jiangyang robbers, but gathered their hands and waited for something outside the various gates of the palace.

Many school captains have a fishing net beside them. When they are free, these school captains will throw out the fishing net and then take it back. It seems that the situation is not much different from that of a fisherman fishing in the river.

Isn't Jin Yiwei good at using the Xiuchun knife?
What are these fishing nets made of?

Is this going to rush into the palace to fish?
On the third day after Jin Yiwei besieged the palace, the corner door of the main entrance of the palace was opened from inside, and a dozen guards of the palace with weapons rushed out shouting, and rushed towards the school captains gathered outside the palace. wonder.

Why are these guards fighting the officials?
Isn't this strength reserved for catching thieves?
However, these citizens soon knew the magical effect of fishing nets.

When the guards of the palace rushed to the range, fishing nets fell from the sky one by one, and then the captains recovered with all their strength, and the guards who were covered inside were dragged to the ground without exception, and the weapons in their hands dropped.

The lieutenant who was waiting next to him swarmed up, and the two waited on one of them. When they went up, they attacked the guards' vital points. After a burst of crying and howling, all the guards were captured.

The citizens lying on the walls and tree branches looked at the scene in front of them with relish, and then applauded the wonderful use of the fishing net.

This group of guards usually relied on their own identities to do some bullying and lawless things in Luoyang City. This time, when they encountered a tough stubble, they suffered the loss of the boss in an instant. Feeling good?

In the next few days, several waves of palace guards rushed out of the palace happily, and were taken down by the school captains in the same way. Chu Guo used a rough calculation, and the guards of the palace were ten to eighty-nine, and the rest were also gone. It is the few personal guards of Fu Wang and the prince, and there is not much food in Fu Wang's mansion.

Sure enough, the corner doors of the palace were opened one after another, and the servants and maidservants in the palace were sent out one by one. After interrogating several people, Chu Guoyong found out that the reason why they were sent out of the palace was to Save food for the nobles of the royal family to eat.

It seems that Fu Wang's temper was violent, and he planned to fight the emperor to the end.

Just when Chu Guoyong and Ruan Jiansu were going to continue to trap King Fu's mansion until they ran out of ammunition and food, and then sent people in to clean up the mess, Liu Youwen, the prefect of Luoyang, sent his staff to burn the yellow book of land deeds in the mansion that King Fu would most likely burn in the end. The guess was passed on to Chu Guoyong.

After thinking of Zhu Changxun's stubbornness, the two suddenly felt that Liu Youwen's guess was likely to become a reality, so Chu Guoyong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and sent people to storm into the mansion. come out.

The school captains immediately broke into the mansion from various corner gates, and gathered in the palace bedroom after searching for the yellow book of land deeds, only then did they realize that Zhu Changxun had sent someone to pile up the things they were looking for in the palace, and was going to burn them at the last moment .

Even if these yellow books and land deeds are burned, the government can send people to measure and check them, but the workload is quite large, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to figure it out, but Fu Wang's plan is standard harm to others.

In the end, the captains did the same thing, captured the few guards with fishing nets, locked Fu Wang and his son in the bedroom, and then transported the yellow books of land deeds to the Luoyang government office in batches.

So far, Jin Yiwei's tasks have all been completed, and the rest of the mission is fully in charge of the Luoyang government.

As long as the hands and feet of the palace are interrupted, the collection of taxes will be carried out without hindrance.

Although King Fu is a nobleman of the Tian family, those guards and stewards are the extension of the authority of the palace, and the wealth of the palace is obtained through the hands of these people.

Prince Fu's Mansion, which has lost its siblings, is really like a toothless tiger. Those village heads in Zhuangzi are no match for the government's bureaucrats. Under the supervision of Jin Yiwei, starting next year, a large number of taxes that have never been collected before will enter the government. The warehouse, and the other part will be transported to Beijing and sent to the palace for storage.

The so-called tax, the tax is collected by the court, and the tax is collected by the royal family.

In addition to the completion of the affairs of Prince Fu's Mansion, news of other vassal princes was delivered to the palace.

The current acting king Zhu Chuanfang, who lives in Datong, is only six years old. He has only inherited the vassal king for only one year. The daily management of the palace is managed by his mother and concubine. A prince's mansion that obeys the imperial decree.

Zhu Youjian deeply appreciated Dai Wangfu's knowledge and interest, and specially ordered to add a Wangfu guard team to Daiwangfu, with [-] members, to protect the safety of the Wangfu, and to abolish it after the Daiwang grows up.

Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany in Jinan, burned the land deed yellow book and other related documents to fight against the imperial decree. After simple consideration, Zhu Youjian decreed that he would be reduced from the title of prince to county king, and the mu of non-taxable land he enjoyed would be reduced to [-] mu. The Jinan government sent people to re-measure the acres of fields and check Zhuangzi Dingkou, and the verification work must be completed before next year's summer grain collection.

Zhu Youjian's decree will be sent to various places together with the relevant information of Fu Wang's Mansion and Dai Wang Mansion, as a final warning to the feudal vassals, so that they can see what the result of confrontation and obedience will be.

After dealing with the matters related to the vassal king, Zhu Youjian received relevant reports from the Jinyiwei Suzhou Thousand Households Office and the Suzhou Mansion.

Zhu Youjian first read through the report, and then read through the detailed list of confiscated assets of Liu Canjing and others involved in the case. While he was happy with Xu Youcheng's work efficiency, he also felt that Fang Wen, a young magistrate, was bold in his work. Appreciate the action.

This time, Suzhou Mansion opened a precedent in Chinese history. Fang Wenneng took the lead regardless of reputation. This courageous loyalty alone deserves great praise.

After the results of the integration of the gentry and gentry in Suzhou Prefecture to pay food, it is necessary to consider promoting Fang Wen.

Liu Canjing and other people in Wujiang County ransacked their families and punished their families, in order to cooperate with the next actions of the Suzhou government.

The next thing to consider is running schools in various parts of Daming.
