Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1293
Xingyang.

Xingyang camp on the east patrol road.

When the emperor saw Kan Leng's memorial, he picked up two memorials from Jinyiwei and Huangchengsi, and put them down after reading them for a while.

"Kan Leng is still a little impatient and too straightforward in his work. In fact, he can be more patient and handle this matter better."

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "I think General Kan acted decisively. Since Jiangxi is attached to him, he is now thinking about these petty thoughts. Naturally, he can't tolerate them. If he tolerates them, he will make more progress. I'm afraid the situation will be even worse. Right now, it’s good to cut through the mess quickly, and use the power of thunder to frighten these young people, and then they can free up their hands to relieve the disaster and the people. Jiangxi has been under the hands of the Lin brothers for the past few years, but it’s been a lot of trouble. Now it’s full of refugees and bandits The bandits and the poor have no place to stand, but those powerful military leaders took the opportunity to annex them wantonly, and even many Buddhists and Taoists took the opportunity to go to Jiangxi to expand there."

If the imperial court doesn't quickly stop this unhealthy trend and reorganize Jiangxi, I'm afraid that this good place, a land of fishing and rice, will be devastated, and it will take a lot of effort and time to clean it up.

The emperor sighed a few times while sitting on the chair.

Jiangxi has been in the hands of Lin Shihong these years, and it has really been a toss. 's search.A small Jiangxi Province, at its peak, raised an army of 10,000+.

"We should get rid of the chaotic politics of the Lin family as soon as possible, and we must promptly eradicate the chaos and rebel against the government. Kan Leng confiscated Lin Shihong and Lin Yaoshi's fields, houses, workshops, etc. in Jiangxi. I don't think there is anything wrong. Lin Yaoshi alone Occupying 10,000+ mu of land, should we leave all of it to him?" The secretary supervisor Wang Gui was speaking, and he also believed that there was no need to give too much preferential treatment to the Lin brothers.

"The sage previously granted Lin Shihong the title of duke of the county and gave him the real land, but in the end, Lin Yaoshi caused such chaos in Jiangxi. In my opinion, Lin Shihong must be dealt with. Please ask the sage to confer the title of Lin Shihong and take back his real estate. He will confiscate all his properties in Jiangxi."

Wei Zheng sang along, "You can change Lin Shihong's title to a Marquis for life, such as Marquis of Fengming, and let him keep the mansion in Luoyang. All the fields and houses in Jiangxi will be confiscated and confiscated as a punishment."

Lin Yaoshi died, and the three-foot white silk was hanged to death, and the report said that he died suddenly. This can be regarded as saving some face for Lin Shihong. Otherwise, if Lin Yaoshi was publicly punished for the crime of conspiracy, Lin Shihong would not be able to escape the responsibility.

Luo Cheng didn't object.

"Since Kan Leng has already made this head start, let's do it to the end. Take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up Jiangxi, from officials to officials, carefully review and check, and replace those with problems. And the Ministry of War, seize the time and dispatch a group of elite soldiers from various places to fill in the vacancies, so that the yamen can run smoothly and cannot be shut down."

"Also, what I mean for these powerful gentry in the local area is that some not-so-famous people can be moved to Liujing for resettlement first, and their properties can be checked. Those who steal and take over by force and annex them will be cleared. Of course , if it is an ancestral property, it should also be protected."

The emperor had two attitudes towards the officials in Jiangxi and the local wealthy and powerful families. He resolutely dismissed the officials, leaving only a small number of truly famous and talented people, but most of them should be transferred to other places.

As for the wealthy and powerful households, those with the strongest power will directly move to Liujing, firstly to enrich Liujing, and secondly, to eradicate the influence and interference of these local big forces on the local area, which is conducive to the imperial court's takeover of Jiangxi.

Taking this opportunity, we can also check the property of these people, all kinds of illegal income, and any robbery must be cleared.

"After clearing up these illegal products and confiscating them, we will clear up the official land and distribute it to the common people in Jiangxi. For the mountainous areas where the land is narrow and populated, some poor and proletarian people should be organized to relocate to the border areas. Going to Dao County, where there are few people, we have to ensure that after the land is equalized, a family will have about a hundred acres of land, so that some fields can be planted with mulberry and hemp trees, and some fields can be planted with grain, and the family can still have food and clothing after paying the rent and taxes."

Now many places newly laid down by the imperial court are short of population.However, in many places in the Central Plains, there are people who have no land. Therefore, for a newly attached land like Jiangxi, the emperor once again emphasized that to achieve a family of six or seven people, there should be [-] acres of land to be granted on an equal basis.

For places with less land and more people, the government should organize to relocate some impoverished and proletarians to counties with less people and more land, or even to border counties outside Jiangxi.

"Another important point is that for the usury in Jiangxi Province in the past, a one-size-fits-all approach was adopted. People only need to repay the principal and double the interest at most, no matter how long it has been borrowed, and no matter how much the original agreed interest is, no matter how much the interest has been. How much has been rolled over, at most only the principal and double the interest will be paid off, and for such loans as nine out of ten and thirteen returns, the repayment is only calculated according to the actual amount borrowed."

The purpose of clearing up the debts that the emperor specially confided was also to get rid of many unreasonable oppressions. In the past, many people lost their land and went bankrupt because of usury.So now the emperor wants to clean up the past.

"If the people temporarily repay the past debt, then the original owner can no longer force the debt, and the local government can take over the debt, and the local government will pay it first, and then the people will pay back some to the government every year. No further interest shall be calculated on the debt, and it shall be counted as an interest-free loan.”

Wei Zheng sighed, "Sage's actions will save many people from the sea of ​​suffering and debt."

"I also hope that their lives can have a chance to start again. I give them equal land and land, and reduce their debts and interest rates, so that they can start again and have a bright future."

For Luo Cheng, every additional household of farmers would strengthen the foundation of the imperial court.

The state's policy is between the self-cultivating farmers and the tyrants, and it is necessary to favor the self-cultivating farmers appropriately.

"Jiangxi's two taxes will be exempted this year, and half the tax will be levied next year!" Luo Cheng added.

"Let Kan Ling send a letter to the bandits all over Jiangxi, as long as they go down the mountain to accept the recruitment within this year, then the imperial court will relieve them of their past crimes, give them their hometowns, and grant them land equalization. But if you dare to continue to resist , the imperial court will kill them regardless, and investigate the three generations, all Changliu Baekje, Anxi, and Yunnan are the villagers, and all property will be deprived, and the wives and concubines will also be allocated by the government to the villagers as wives!"

"Saint, I believe that as soon as this order is issued, the bandits in Jiangxi can be dealt with immediately."
