Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 97 Why not sue the official?Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang want to sue the officials when he rebelled?

Zhu Youxiao has something on his mind.

It's still a matter of dividing up the land in the Huangzhuang.

He knew that what Zhang Haogu said was reasonable, but after all, this was his own land and his private money, so he was reluctant to share the land with the common people.

However, he understood again.

If they don't take it out, either the imperial court will take out the finances to support them, or let them become refugees again.

The imperial financial support can support [-], [-], or even [-].

But what about one hundred thousand? What about 20?
Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear to let them become refugees again.

Now these happy faces turned into that insensitive look again.

He also has a compassionate heart.

Zhang Haogu followed, and knew that the little emperor's psychological struggle was intense now, so he waited patiently for Zhu Youxiao to make the final choice.

Today's Yongding County has a new batch of alternate officials.

Start a new round of testing.

This new batch of alternate officials also complained endlessly from the beginning, and now they have begun to adapt to life in Yongding County.

As long as they want to stand out, as long as Zhu Youxiao is here, they will have a head start.

Many houses have been repaired.

The refugees from outside have to live together first, and then they have one or two errands, and when they have money, they can build a house of their own.

However, the most popular place in Yongding County is Datong Commercial Bank.

This is a firm specially established by Zhang Haogu.

The main thing is to sell the three-legged golden toad, in addition to looms and textile machines.

These two sectors can be regarded as the most profitable at present.

As for the idea of ​​land reclamation proposed by Zhang Haogu before, it is actually not valid. First, the harvest of these uncultivated wastelands is not good, second, the location is not good, and third, the output ratio is not good. Some lands are simply saline land .

For now, these refugees are still stable here, but after a long time, there will still be problems if there is no land to cultivate.

Zhang Haogu didn't say anything.

I just hope that Zhu Youxiao can think for himself.

Let Zhu Youxiao strengthen his beliefs.

It is necessary to implement the principle of distributing the land into mu, and the land must be released.

He himself didn't want to understand that no matter how hard Zhang Haogu tried to speak, it would have no effect.

Only let the dog emperor experience and feel for himself. What he understands and the principles he has mastered are better than saying it a hundred times or a thousand times.

of course.

Zhang Haogu would not pin all his hopes on Zhu Youxiao.

Before they knew it, the two of them had already arrived at the refugee office.

This is a place dedicated to bringing in refugees.

Ragged refugees are registering.

The population of Yongding County is increasing.

"Brother, what's your name?" Zhu Youxiao simply opened a registration office alone, chatting with people while registering.

"My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Laoqi!"

This refugee also brought his family with him, and there was a seven or eight-year-old son beside him. He pretended to salute, and it was obvious that his movements were not very standard.

"Wang Lao Qi!"

Zhu Youxiao muttered, and asked casually while registering: "How did you come to Yongding County?"

"It doesn't matter, the family can't survive anymore!" Wang Laoqi replied.

"Can't survive?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "But there was a disaster at home?"

"Not at all!"

Wang Laoqi sighed, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes: "Our house has been taken over!"

"The home has been taken over?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned: "In the whole world, who dares to take over your home? Isn't there any law?"

"Wang Fa?"

Wang Laoqi opened up the chatter box: "My family is from Hebei, and I still have five acres of land at home. I could still live on this life. Later, the emperor photographed the guarding eunuch and said that he had to pay the mining tax!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, he knew about it.

This still has to be traced back to the Wanli period, the three major campaigns in Wanli, the great changes in Liaodong, and the treasury had already been stretched. Later, the ministers put forward a proposal to increase income-collecting mining taxes to supplement the treasury.

Wanli was well aware of the benefits of mining taxes, so he was unwilling to give up such a thick oil and water to foreign ministers, and finally decided to use eunuchs as mine supervisors and tax envoys.

The emperor couldn't trust ministers, so he could only trust eunuchs. In this way, mine supervisors and tax envoys were similar to imperial envoys, and they were part-time eunuchs.

After Wanli's death, Zhu Changluo didn't live for a few days, and it was Zhu Youxiao's turn. The mine tax came from his own internal funds. Naturally, Zhu Youxiao had no reason to cancel it.

And Eunuch Wei did not disappoint Zhu Youxiao in terms of making money.

However, upon hearing Wang Laoqi's words, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

Are you wrong?
What kind of immoral things can these guarding eunuchs do?
"Let you pay the mining tax?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Correct!
Wang Laoqi nodded: "The eunuch insisted that there was a mine under our house, and that he wanted us to pay the tax. If we couldn't pay the tax, then let us get the land to offset the tax. They arrested my son. , asked me to pay taxes, I sold all the things that could be sold at home, and paid the taxes, they said it was not enough, and added our land to Huangzhuang!"

"what?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened immediately, and he said with disbelief, "Why are they so bold?"

Wang Laoqi also became angry: "These people are all eunuchs arranged by the emperor. How could there be a mine under the land of our house? I refused, so they came to beat me and set fire to mine. I have no choice but to flee with my wife and daughter!"

"Where are your parents?" Zhu Youxiao asked in a low voice.

"Dead, all dead, when they came out, they all starved to death!" Wang Laoqi said.

"You, why didn't you sue the officials?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It's really strange. When Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled, why didn't he sue the officials?" Wang Laoqi also became angry, and opened his mouth to say something disrespectful.

The guard on the side suddenly frowned.

But Zhu Youxiao raised his hand violently to stop the guards from moving.

Wang Laoqi also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he said nonchalantly: "I also heard that this Yongding County recruits refugees, and there is a way to survive. That's why I came here, sir!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't know why, but felt that his heart was congested.

If it is a corrupt official, he will deal with it unceremoniously.

However, at this moment, Zhu Youxiao discovered that the culprit was himself.

The eunuchs were their own domestic slaves, and they happily told themselves how many acres of land the Huangzhuang had increased, and how much money they had gained.

He never cared about these before, he just felt happy.

What's wrong with the expansion of Huangzhuang?What's wrong with adding silver to one's internal funds?
But knowing today, he suddenly realized that he was wrong?

How did he think that for every acre of land added to his Huangzhuang, there would be a broken family behind him.

Corrupt officials could be blamed before, but now can you blame yourself?

Isn't it the one who is greedy?

The source of this problem is actually yourself?

"You stay here, stay here well!"

Zhu Youxiao's voice was a little choked, and he said with some shame: "There are good days here, and there will be good days!"

Zhang Haogu also sighed, this Wang Laoqi is really heart-wrenching, no matter what, his words are better than his own words.

At this moment, suddenly there were bursts of noisy voices not far away.

It was Zhang An who got into a fight.
