Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 896
The folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River are very cunning. Of course, this is so for an official. Bai Lang feels that those who dare to protect their own rights and interests, even if it is improper rights, are much better than those who are obedient. "It's actually a good thing that you like to litigate. If it really gives you a way out of not litigating, then this court will be doomed soon."

Bailang had already arrived in Yangzhou on this day. Yangzhou was not so prosperous and developed during the Wanli period. The real outbreak of this group of salt merchants was during the Qing Dynasty - at that time Yangzhou's development reached its peak.But now Yangzhou can be regarded as the first-class prosperous place in the world. When Bailang arrived in Yangzhou, he directly ordered the salt merchants to pay for the money.

It is equivalent to public robbery, and the entire salt law has to be changed. Bailang wants to go directly to the state-owned salt company, but after much deliberation, the current conditions are not suitable, so it is better to go away from China and France. As long as the shipment volume is strictly controlled, it will be somewhat better. use.There is nothing special to change in this consumer city, and it seems that this place can't be transformed into an industrial city, so let it continue to be luxurious.

The fields in the countryside must be cleared. Bailang will not confiscate the fields of those rural eunuch families, but it is impossible to avoid taxes. At the same time, they have to share the grain per acre. As for whether those people will pass on the land tax to the tenant farmers?This is almost certain, but as long as the national system is strictly implemented, taxes will actually be far lighter than in the past.

Bailang hasn't learned from the Song Dynasty to restore the fifth-class households yet? If this is really to be implemented, each of these guys will have to destroy their homes.Song Dynasty was extremely weak externally, and his ability to search internally was a must.Daming is far away, as for the corruption of officials?Each has its own merits, but Daming gave officials less money, which can be regarded as an "advantage".

Bailang is now raising their salaries, but there are exit audits and retirement audits, as well as property declarations before joining the officialdom. If they are not afraid of corruption, they can't take them away anyway.When you arrive in Yangzhou, you have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Before that, Bailang had already done a lot of great things in Xuzhou - the rebellion of the Caobang soldiers was originally centered in Xuzhou, and Bailang was naturally stationed in Xuzhou to attack everywhere, quelling the rebellion while clearing the land.

"I remember what Chen said about the poor mountains, evil waters, shrews, and thugs. Now it seems that the township of emperors has been in ancient times, and the folk customs of Xuzhou are quite barbaric." Bailang still thought that he had to go to Fengyang, but he really didn't want to go at all. ah.This also brought the Ministry of Industry's news, which is to explore the water conservancy here. The Huaihe River may still have to be excavated. As for whether the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum will be flooded, Bailang himself doesn't care at all.

"The dead are still afraid of feeding fish and turtles? It's just clothes." Bailang's behavior is definitely super "unfilial", but is it useful to the king of Jie and Zhou?It's completely useless.

This is also what will happen in the future. It only took Bailang more than a month to clean up Huaiyin and Xuzhou with force, and then came to Yangzhou.Not only did he ask the salt merchant to serve him, but he also occupied the salt merchant's garden to rest.After Yangzhou was completed, it was time to cross the Yangtze River and reach Jiangnan. Bailang was planning to go to Nanjing to inspect first.Especially since Daddy Pig’s mausoleum has not been visited by the Ming Emperor for many years, he must pay homage properly this time.

The various forces in Nanjing are so intertwined that if it hadn't been for the emperor's personal visit, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible. Only after Bailang arrived could things be done quickly and with a lot of chaos.Anyway, don't even think about those nobles hiding their land.
Bailang led his army across the river and into the city. No one tried to pull any tricks, such as letting the emperor fall into the water.I am afraid that this emperor will be able to cross the Yangtze River. When the time comes, he sings the song "Only to drink the water of the Yangtze River and to eat the Wuchang fish." All the Nanjing bosses will probably have their heads thrown to the ground.

Seeing all the dignitaries in the city, the six ministers and the eunuchs left behind lined up on both sides to welcome the emperor, Bailang was riding on a horse, with cavalry and musketeers behind him, pulling cannons behind him, and even the brocade-clothed troops dispersed first to push the crowd away. A hundred paces away - at this distance, whether it is using crossbow arrows or lead, Bai Lang has enough time to dodge.

Bailang was riding on his horse, seeing the ministers and Duke of Wei who had come to Nanjing to retire, trembling visibly, and a smile appeared on his lips. "I'm afraid of a bird, but I won't kill your whole family." Bailang thought.Liubu Shangshu and Wei Guogong were the dignitaries of the country's imperial court, and Bailang would not just push them out of the Yi clan regardless.

For example, when the Duke of Wei divorced his country, the most Bailang could do was push the current Duke of Wei out and behead him. The next step would be to behead the crown prince. In the end, a son or grandson would have to inherit the title.But except for Wei Guogong, the other distinguished nobles Bai Lang would not look good.Don't even think about leaving so much land. Bailang doesn't care if the garden exceeds the limit but doesn't exceed the limit.

The military preparedness was depleted, and the land guarding the mausoleum was occupied and the soldiers of the guard station were forced to work for the commander. This white wave was made by chance.

Just inside the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Bailangsheng Palace - although the place is in disrepair, at least the main hall can still be used.Bai Lang was dressed in military uniform and looked at the nobles and ministers below. He was holding the memorial of the Jin Yiwei in his hand and patting his palms repeatedly. "Everyone, you have done a great job in Yingtian Mansion." Bai Lang said with a smile.

The bone-chilling wind has arrived.

The nobles knelt down on the ground collectively, begging the emperor for mercy - these people dared to make a mess in front of Chongzhen, a waste, and said that they were sellers, but they didn't dare to say a word in front of Bailang.Because this emperor really killed people neatly.Now Bailang is really like this, while looking at the memorial in his hand, he ordered his soldiers to pull down the nobles who were named one by one - the first one to pull down was the eunuch guarding Nanjing.

Turning a deaf ear to his cries for mercy, he directly ordered his beheading.This time, several noble families wanted to be exterminated, and millions of acres of land were recovered.The local eunuch families in Nanjing also obediently obeyed Bai Lang's will and began to clear up their fathers - Bai Lang didn't kill anyone who jumped out. The crime was not serious, so he just cut off all their fame.

The exam can still be taken, after all, it is not used forever, but you have to start all over again from childhood.Bailang stayed in Nanjing City for four months, and it was regarded as taking care of the Nanzhili area.After that is the focus of this operation - Suzhou and Songjiang.The finances and taxes paid by these two governments are the two heaviest in the world, and what Bailang is going to do is to clear up the arrears and deal with overseas trade.

Most of the accumulated debt will be written off - because it is [-]% impossible to collect, Bailang is only prepared to share the grain here and let the acres that were originally sent to the hands of the governors obediently pay taxes and grain. However, in terms of overseas trade, Bailang felt that he was definitely going to kill someone with a knife.This benefit is too great, with tens of millions of taels of silver on the plate, it is too easy for people to take risks.

Not to mention the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, even if the troops from the nine borders of Ming Dynasty came together, this group of people would dare to stand up to him.
