The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 161 Emerging clues

In fact, Yun Yuhong didn't want to let go of these aristocratic families not only because they stretched their arms too far into her barracks, but also because they themselves were too fond of tossing around, always thinking that their family had a big business and had power and wealth in their hands. , everyone should give them some face.What I think about every day is the prosperity of the family, even if it all comes from conspiracies and tricks, people are not exaggerated.If they can keep a low profile and live in peace for a while, Yun Yuhong doesn't necessarily want to do anything to them, it's just that their greed and ambition have been exposed all the time, which made Yun Yuhong make up his mind.

On the way back from the military camp, Yun Yuhong saw a field. It was early summer, and the crops in the field were only half the height of a person, but the greenery was very pleasing. Slowly walk along the edge of the field.Walking into the depths of the field, a small thatched hut came into view. An old man and a couple of young men and women were sitting outside the house and having lunch under a tree. It seemed that there should be a family of three.

Seeing Yun Yuhong and Ji Linggui, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and the young woman asked, "Who are you, what's the matter?"

Yun Yuhong rubbed her belly and smiled, "I'm heavy, and I'm tired from walking and want to take a rest, can you let me sit down and drink some water?"

The woman hurriedly said: "Of course, it's just that the house is simple, so don't dislike it."

Yun Yuhong hurriedly said no, and was helped by the witty ghost to sit down on a tree stump in the courtyard.

The woman smiled embarrassingly, "I don't know if you have eaten. The food at home is not good. I'm afraid you will make fun of me." The two were dressed richly, and their family really couldn't provide anything to entertain guests.

Yun Yuhong glanced at their dining table. There were three bowls of very thin rice paste, and one dish was obviously wild vegetables without a trace of oily flowers on it. This kind of dish was only a small dish, which shows that the life of this family is really not good. It's been great.

Yun Yuhong said politely: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble, you don't need to worry about me, I'm just tired and want to take a rest, you can eat first."

The woman went to get a bowl, filled some water and handed it to Yun Yuhong.

Yun Yuhong looked at the crops around him and asked, "Old man, do these lands belong to you? They all grow well."

The old man froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, then nodded, but did not speak.

The witty ghost said: "My master is from another place and wants to buy a piece of land here to build a Zhuangzi. I wonder if the old man knows any nearby land that wants to sell it?"

The old man sighed, "Madam, you don't need to ask, the land around here belongs to the Zhang family, it is impossible for the Zhang family to sell the land to you."

Yun Yuhong wondered: "Is it the original Prime Minister Zhang's Zhang family? No, I heard that the land left by their ancestors is all in the north. This land was collected by them later, but they have already returned it to Farmer. Old man, I am not going to buy your land, I am just asking you for information."

The old man became unhappy, and said: "Madam, I'm not lying to you, what I said is true, what they said is refunded, but what about the land deed? We were all hired by them to farm for him. On the surface Those who go to my house on the ground are all cheating the government."

Yun Yuhong wondered: "The title deed? You mean that the title deed for this land was not given to you, right?"

The old man nodded, and the woman also said: "The government said that if we want to plant land, we have to spend money to buy it, but we don't have money, so we can only plant land for others."

Yun Yuhong smiled calmly, nodded, and said to the witty ghost: "You go to the surrounding area to inquire, if this is the case, go and talk to the Prime Minister, and ask him to bring all relevant personnel and evidence Come here, I want to personally judge this matter."

The clever ghost took the order and left, while the old man's family of three scared off their chopsticks. This person, this tone...are they in trouble?
Yun Yuhong stopped talking, just closed her eyes and rested her mind, and went into the house to rest for a while when she was tired.In the evening, a group of people arrived in front of the hut. Bai Ziyu, Mr. Ning, Mr. Liu, and many new officials, including the Zhang family and other aristocratic patriarchs, all arrived.

Bai Ziyu went into the room and helped Yun Yuhong out, and said in a low voice, "Smart Ghost told everything, I was negligent."

Yun Yuhong also said in a low voice: "No, it's not that you were negligent, it's that I'm too soft-hearted, I just thought a lot, these people are old foxes who have practiced for thousands of years, and I'm the hunter, but I didn't scare them , Convinced, but let you deal with them, of course you will suffer."

Bai Ziyu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "You are a hunter and they are foxes, so what am I?"

Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "It's also a fox, but its skills are not as deep as theirs, and the number of people is not as many as them. Therefore, it is not feasible to use foxes to deal with foxes. Hunters can only do it."

Bai Ziyu felt a little hurt, Hong'er put him together with these bastards, and said he couldn't compare to them, which made him feel so embarrassed.

Yun Yuhong asked, "Who is in charge of land distribution?"

After Bai Ziyu handed a booklet to Yun Yuhong, he sighed and said, "Mr. Ning was ill at the time, so I handed it over to Mr. Liu to preside over it. I drew up a plan and asked him to lead people to implement it. "

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu had already walked in front of the crowd, and the two stopped talking. The clever ghost asked someone to set up a table and put a few chairs there. When Yun Yuhong came out, everyone saluted and saw him.

Yun Yuhong asked everyone to flatten her back, but she was not in a hurry to speak, instead she looked at the booklet in her hand first.This is Bai Ziyu's handwriting, which describes the land resumption and distribution plan.To be honest, Bai Ziyu’s plan is well-written, well-organized, and thoughtful in all aspects. Except for the ancestral property of more than 50 years, the wealthy family can reserve a certain amount of cultivated land according to the main population of the family. It is white, but it is exchanged with the government for silver taels according to the land price.Those who have paid a certain amount of land can also apply to the government for an additional two-year tax exemption.

Poor people who want arable land can apply to the government on a household basis, and the government will distribute it according to the number of people in the family.At the same time, they can receive a corresponding amount of grain, and the cultivators will hand over the income from two years of cultivation to the government in proportion to the money spent on buying land.

According to Yun Yuhong's rough calculations, the amount of land compensation handed over to wealthy households from aristocratic families is not too small, and the grain handed over by the common people is not too much, both of which are just within the range that everyone can accept.Moreover, Bai Ziyu's steps are arranged in detail, so it stands to reason that this is a very good plan.Yun Yuhong had to admit that he couldn't write such a thing, nor could he make such an arrangement.Of course, Bai Ziyu's plan was good, but there was a problem with the people who implemented it, no, it should have been fine, it's just that these rich families are too greedy and cunning, and they let people take advantage of the loopholes.

After reading the brochure, Yun Yuhong asked Eldest Young Master Liu, "Master Liu, are you responsible for the confiscation and distribution of the land?"

Mr. Liu replied respectfully: "Yes." In fact, before he came, he had a premonition that something would happen, and when he saw this field, he knew that Yun Yuhong might ask him about the plowing, but what was the specific question? He couldn't figure it out either, he just took one step at a time.

Yun Yuhong continued: "I want to know who owns this piece of land, you should have a registration there."

Mr. Liu hurriedly took out the brochure and checked, "It's a family named Zhang Xiaoshan, with three members in total."

Yun Yuhong asked the old man, "Old man, what's your name?"

The old man was so frightened that he couldn't say a word. The man replied, "Our surname is Wang, our father's name is Wang Dazhuang, and my name is Wang Erzhu."

Mr. Liu was stunned, he immediately knew something was wrong.

Yun Yuhong asked: "Master Liu, where is this land deed and who owns it, please help me find it."

Mr. Liu turned around and looked at a young man in his twenties beside him. The man's face was pale and he was already trembling with fright.

Yun Yuhong pointed at that person, and the clever ghost led someone to pull him in front of Yun Yuhong.

As soon as the man came in front of Yun Yuhong, he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Ghost king, forgive me, I was negligent for a while."

Yun Yuhong pointed to the dozens of farmers who were called nearby and said, "What about them, are they all negligent? Who gave these cultivated lands, please tell me clearly, otherwise I will let you have a good taste of my torture." s method."

"This..." The man didn't know whether to say it for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the Patriarch of the Zhang family standing in the crowd.

The Patriarch of the Zhang Family lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, without any expression.In fact, his heart is not at peace.

He wanted to go to Beijing with all his heart, but there was news that the ghost king didn't want to bring their families with him, which made him think again. He must go to the capital. If the ghost king can't get through here, then He could only go by himself. Of course, he didn't just go as a commoner. He was originally the prime minister of a country.There are only two ways to become an official, one is to get in the exam, one is a scholar or something, and then a little bit to rise up, but this is unrealistic for him.The second is to get in based on relationships, but who does he care about? Here, the ghost king's way is not feasible, so we can go the way of Zhou Dashi and Yu Shangshu. Compared with the Qinggao Zhou Dashi, this is the most The one who hopes to get through is Yu Shangshu, and this road is undoubtedly a road paved with money.

In fact, the Zhang family was not short of money in the first place, but who would dislike him for having a lot of money? Besides, he needs a lot of money now, and when he discovered the practices of other aristocratic families who wanted to stay, he also moved his mind and plowed the land. The compensation money is not a small amount, and as long as this land is in his hands, it will be a steady stream of money. Doing this is a good thing for him to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, now that he has been discovered, the head of the Zhang family is a little nervous, but after thinking about it, he is not the only one who does this. The so-called law does not blame the public. Concubine Zhang and the others, the ghost king finally let them go after [-] blows.Now that Yuxue has finally settled down gradually, the Ghost King probably doesn't want to make trouble difficult to deal with.
