The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 414: No Way Out (1)
Now seeing them brazenly fighting against the gentry in the local area, they encouraged a few well-known local landlords to sell their land, causing Xie Chengyu and the others to force the gentry to leave their hometowns, triggering a fierce backlash from the gentry across the country, and the emperor was bound to force them to take both of them. People appease the anger of the gentry in Quan Dazhou.

What's more, because the gentry sold a large number of fields, the tenants who rented and farmed the land suddenly lost their money, which caused greater turmoil and plunged the two brothers Xie Chengyu into a quagmire.

Who knew that these two brothers had too much money, they sold the land here, and Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengjin hurriedly ate the land there, and still hired the original tenants. For the rent and tax of the family, these tenants are only allowed to pay the taxes required by the country and three out of ten. For a period of three years, the tenants who rent and plant their fields are given to recuperate.

The officer concluded that their actions were forcibly occupying the land of the gentry, forcing the tenants to leave their homes, causing national turmoil, and they deserved to die.

The impeachment of this official had just ended, and he immediately followed many other officials. The charges of impeachment became more and more serious, even to the point where the two brothers Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengyu had to be hacked into pieces to quell public anger.

The two brothers Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengjin immediately touched the interests of the gentry group for the sake of the emperor's order. Whether they were officials from the princeling party or the neutral party, they all fought hard against this matter. Otherwise, if they were officials here, their family members would be liquidated. what happened?Such unhealthy tendencies must be severely stopped, otherwise what is the purpose of being an official?
It can be said that all the officials in the court, except the chief assistant Liu Yunchao, and the few Confucian officials and military generals of the Wuwang Party, all the other officials who can speak are fiercely criticizing the two brothers Xie Chengyu for their serious crimes, and they deserve death!

Seeing this, the prince had no intention of fanning the flames of this case, or coming out to be a peacemaker. The prince had something a hundred times more important than this in his heart, and he still felt uncomfortable mentioning it in mid-air.

Seeing the prince, the emperor had nothing to say, and he didn't urge him. He just looked at the Confucian officials who impeached Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengjin with cold eyes. It can be said responsibly that behind each of them there is a powerful gentry family who annexed the land.

Everything the two brothers Xie Chengyu did was already under his own control. In order to appease the tenants, they took out their own money, bought a large amount of local land, and even exempted them from extra taxes for three years so that the tenants could recuperate. How could the emperor not understand their pure nature? .

They post so much, and they are framed as occupying the land of the gentry and forcing the gentry to leave their homes. Those gentry are said to be as pitiful as stray dogs. Are there any pitiful ones among them?Shit!Carrying the huge amount of money Xie Chengyu and the others paid, turning around and acting as the thugs for these Confucian officials to attack Xie Chengyu, how pitiful?
Xu Yin and the others were still watching politics and could not speak. Unless the emperor spoke, they were not allowed to speak. Xu Yin saw so many people as if they were going to eat Wen Jing's father and them, and he was worried about them all in his heart.

Fortunately, Li Da who is with me is from Shaoxing, and can be regarded as a big local gentry family. Under Xu Yin's persuasion, Li Da asked for leave two months ago and went back to Shaoxing. The fields were returned to them one by one, and Li Da's family has now become the people's praise in Shaoxing, and they have also become the recognized opposition of the local gentry.

"The Imperial Academy can speak on this matter. This matter has a huge impact. You all express your opinions one by one. I forgive you for being innocent and you can speak freely. What I want is to speak out."

It is rare for the emperor to ask the trainee political reserve officials of the Imperial Academy to speak, just to see if the gentry of the Great Zhou Dynasty are really monolithic?The iron plate reached the point where the first assistant Liu Yunchao dared not speak out easily to defend Xie Chengyu and the two of them.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the student returned to Shaoxing on leave this time, and witnessed with his own eyes how the prefect of Shaoxing cleaned up the fields. Regarding the matter of the officials impeaching Xie Chengyu for encroaching on the land of the gentry, the student answered responsibly. The sons of well-known gentry, in order to occupy the land of the people, forced the people to sell the land left by their ancestors at a price of [-] renminbi, and even killed people, but it was covered up. Now Mr. Xie is here to provide free lawyers for the people, The public collection of evidence for the people, the public trial and the public judgment have exposed many old accounts that could not be put on the table in the sun. Those few gentry have a bad reputation in the eyes of the local people. The crimes committed by my own children, the hasty sale of the land, made the tenants who leased their land suddenly have nothing to rely on. Mr. Xie was originally from a big family with a rich family background. Seeing the sad faces of the tenants, he personally bought the gentry hastily The land that was sold. Mr. Xie gave so much property, but let the tenants recuperate for three years, did not charge them a cent of extra tax, and only let them pay the full tax of paddy fields. In fact, if it is according to Mr. Xie’s fame, thank you These fields under the name of the adults are completely exempt from paying the Dazhou tax, but Mr. Xie did it. The students were fortunate to meet Mr. Xie. He said that there is a country first, and then a family. The country is rich and the people are strong. The students are taught Afterwards, he felt ashamed and returned home. He accompanied his father and his grandfather and elders to count the fields in the family. They kept the fields from their ancestors and returned them one by one. The people in Shaoxing have been following the It’s like Chinese New Year, the faces are filled with smiles from the heart, the students are very inspired, if this is the case everywhere in Dazhou, the hearts of the people will naturally be stable, and Dazhou will be prosperous and strong.”

Li Dan's ability to do this was influenced by Xu Yin. Xu Yin told them that the emperor now uses the two brothers Xie Chengyu to go to Shaoxing and Jiaxing to clear the land and increase the tax of the Great Zhou. On the surface, it is a national policy that benefits the country and the people, but in fact it is still standing in line .

To stand in the emperor's team, or in the gentry group's team?If the emperor was just trying to test it out, maybe no one would have to take any action, but if the emperor had made sufficient arrangements and made up his mind to open up the situation where the gentry encroached on the land, he would have to face standing in line.

It is impossible not to offend both sides, except that Xu Yin's family has no land, all of them have land in their family, even Yin Zhong, a family that was once in decline, rose rapidly after Yin Zhong High School, after all, it is Juren The national land annexation situation caused by the benefits of the above fame.

The land under the name of a person is regarded as an official land, which can be exempted from tax. In this way, as long as someone has a reputation above the name of a person, there will naturally be people flocking to entrust the land under the name to avoid the tax of three out of ten in the Ming Dynasty.

And as Juren merged more and more land, and his family became richer and richer, he would become more powerful and continue to merge land. The key is that the official land does not pay taxes!

The final situation was that the gentry of Dazhou controlled most of the fertile land in Dazhou without paying taxes, and the tenants who leased the gentry's land had to pay as much as [-]% of the rent to the gentry.

After so many years of accumulation in the Zhou Dynasty, land annexation has already become a burden that seriously drags down the country's taxation. The emperor somewhat opened up this situation and sent people to crack down on the illegal occupation of land, but the effect was really minimal.
