The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 180 Love of the Common People
The noon sun is shining brightly.

This mother of all things selflessly sprinkles the sun on the earth.

On the most central street of Fengxiang Mansion, there is the magistrate's yamen.

Before that, the magistrate's yamen had already been taken down by Sun Jie's troops.

Now that people go to the empty building, it has already become the place where Sun Jie stays.

The entrance is a very wide square, and above this square, a huge high platform is built.

When the sun came to the middle, all the people in the city surrounded them, blocking the water around the high platform.

No matter when, I like to watch the excitement.

This is a memory deeply rooted in the genes.

On the other side of the cell, the soldiers escorted Zhou Helu, Li Chengwei and Zhao Yunjing towards the high platform.

The people below the high platform hurriedly gave way.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, the three were escorted up.

Three wooden stakes had already been erected on it, and the three people were tied directly to it.

Soldiers separated the high platform from the common people to prevent the common people from colliding.

Or for the safety of the people, but also to maintain order.

Under the guard of the soldiers, Sun Jie stepped onto the high platform.

Holding a loudspeaker, he stood on the edge of the high platform and shouted loudly to the people below the stage: "Everyone, I am Sun Jie. There is a big event to be done by gathering you here today.

Zhou Helu, Li Chengwei, and Zhao Yunjing, these three people usually do a lot of crimes in Fengxiang Mansion, and they don't do human affairs.

Today I have captured all three of these people, and everyone present here will avenge their vengeance, and avenge their grievances.

All the land under their name will also be distributed to you landless people.All the occupied land will also be handed over.

All the money you owe him will be voided from today! "

Sun Jie's few simple words immediately caused these people to fall into carnival.

Even though the notice also said so, these people still didn't believe it in their hearts.

But now that Sun Jie was standing here, the disbelief in his heart dissipated a lot.

Besides, Zhou Helu and the others are tied up on the high platform now, what else can they do? !
Sun Jie made a simple speech, then retreated and sat behind the high platform.

Sun Chuanting took over Sun Jie's trumpet and loudly announced Sun Jie's benevolent government and various policies.

These things are closely related to the local people, and everyone who heard them cheered again.

Like exempting the three rates, like resting with the people and reducing taxes for three years.

There are countless benevolent policies like this.

These are closely related to the common people, they are all their interests, and they are interests that can be seen in real terms.

Naturally, they cheered.

In an instant, the criticism meeting was brought to a climax.

After a good start, the next thing will be easy to do.

Under Sun Chuanting's arrangement, the first "common people" stood up and came to the high platform.

He first saluted Sun Jie and Sun Chuanting respectfully, then pointed at Zhou Helu and yelled: "God damn it, it's really not a thing.

Back then, he fell in love with my family's five-acre paddy field and asked me to sell it to him.These things are heirlooms of my family, how can they be easily sold to him?
But this thing is not a person, he didn't buy the paddy field from me, and he was suffocating in his heart.

Later, he went to the Yamen to falsely accuse my family of tax evasion and tax evasion, and the Yamen colluded with him. In the end, he forced my family to pay 50 taels of taxes.

Where does my family have so much money?I had no choice but to sell the paddy fields to this Zhou!Conscience of heaven and earth, they are not human! "

The "common people" spat in Zhou Helu's face while cursing.

Zhou Helu scolded: "Where did you come from? I don't know you at all. What are you doing here talking nonsense?!"

It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. After this common people took the lead in demonstrating, the rest of the common people fell into madness.

More and more common people rushed to the high platform and began to denounce these gentry.

They were already doing a lot of evil, but now Sun Jie mobilized all the grievances in the hearts of these people, gathered them all in one place, and concentrated them out.

The criticism meeting was held for three days and three nights. During these three days and three nights, more and more people expressed their grievances.

After everyone's grievances were finished, Sun Jie built a high platform outside the city with a gallows on it.

Under the common suggestion of the people, the three were sent to the gallows.

The sun in the sky was still so bright, and Sun Jie stood in front of the three gallows.

Zhou Helu, Li Chengwei, and Zhao Yunjing, all three of them were held behind the gallows under the guard of soldiers.

"Everyone, the three of them have done a lot of evil, and if they don't kill them, it won't be enough for the people to be angry!

Heavenly law reincarnates, retribution is unpleasant.Today is their end, hang them here! "

Sun Jie held a loudspeaker and announced the final approval.

"Hang them, hang them!"

The people cheered loudly, and the momentum shook the sky.

Zhou Helu looked at the gallows in front of him and at the people in front of him, his heart was sad and his face was panicked.

He never imagined that he would be in such a situation.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but everything was choked in his throat.

His body trembled unceasingly, and his face was ashen.

Amid the loud cheers of the people, the soldiers put the rope from the gallows around his neck.

He was mechanical and numb, panting heavily, breathing in the last ray of breath in the world.

I even forgot to be afraid, and my mind went blank.

When the wooden board under his feet was removed, he was hung in mid-air.

After struggling a few times, he lost his breath.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The people cheered loudly, and the waves were higher than the waves.

Amidst the cheers of the common people, Zhou Helu died completely, and the remaining two were also hanged to death together.

Ten years of studying hard in the cold window, in exchange for a huge family fortune.

But he didn't have the awareness to benefit the village, relying on his fame, he kept oppressing the local people.

The north is no better than the south. After the people in the south lose their land, they can at least go to the workshop to work, or go to the city to beg for a living.

The land in the north is barren and business is exhausted. Without fields, there is only a dead end.

When Sun Jie came to the end of Ming Dynasty, he met many people outside the city who had fled from Fengxiang Mansion.

They were desolate, barren, and their skeletons were emaciated.

The barren land of Fengxiang Mansion can only support these fat heads and big ears.

Over the years, countless people have died because of them.

The solitary smoke rising from the barren tombs and mounds outside the city quietly looks here.

Those people who were oppressed to death by them can finally rest in peace.

The criticism meeting finally came to an end, and the next thing is simple.

All the land under the names of these gentry was confiscated, and then distributed to those landless people.

In the fertile fields outside the city, the officials who supervised the matter measured the land with a measuring tape.

"Wang Erwa, there are five people in my family, each with three acres of land, a total of fifteen acres!"

An official held a brush and wrote these contents on a wooden sign, which was then nailed to the ground with a hammer by the person next to him.

A simple and honest lean man stroked the sign with a smile on his face, saying thank you repeatedly.

"Don't thank me, it's all the adults' idea, if you want to thank, please thank the adults!"

said the official.

"Your Excellency is really a Bodhisattva from heaven and earth, a Bodhisattva who saves suffering!" Wang Erwa thanked repeatedly.

Wang Erwa was originally a tenant of Zhou Helu's family. She couldn't eat enough all year round, and basically all the income from planting was handed over to Zhou Helu.

If there is a famine year, they will have to borrow money from Zhou Helu's family.

His family's interest rate is so high, it's even more terrifying than a donkey rolling. If you can't get it in two months, you won't be able to get it in the future.

For so many years, there are not a few families who have been forced by Zhou Helu to sell their sons and daughters.

Now that she has her own land, why is Wang Erwa unhappy?
A half-grown girl behind her was holding Wang Erwa's thigh with her bare feet, and a pair of star-like eyes dotted her thin face.

There was a lot of joy on his face, even though he couldn't understand what the adults were saying.

"Hey, better days are yet to come.

The adults said, from today on, your land will not pay taxes for the first year, and the tax will be halved for the next two years.

At the same time, all previous taxes will be abolished, and taxes will be paid in the future. The grain tax will be [-] one per mu, and the remaining income will be your stored grain, which will only be paid once a year! "

The field officer shouted loudly.

Wang Erwa was a little dumbfounded, staring blankly at the field officer.

"Is it really that low? Is it only paid once a year?"

Wang Erwa couldn't believe it.

From ancient times to the present, the agricultural tax has never been so low.

At the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the agricultural tax was still between [-] and [-] taxes, and it had to be paid twice a year.

But now, there is only [-] taxes, and they are only paid once a year.

To put it bluntly, what is the difference between this and not paying taxes?
"Live Bodhisattva, really live Bodhisattva, really have a good life!"

Wang Erwa knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowing her head non-stop.

The girl behind her also kowtowed.

"Okay, get up, my lord is not in the mood to bow down!"

The field officials pulled Wang Erwa up.

"Don't be happy, my lord still has a benevolent government!"

After pulling Wang Erwa up, he patiently explained: "This year, my adults will set up a school in Fengxiang Mansion, based on the township, each town will set up a town school to teach the children of farmers.

Regardless of gender, everyone can enter school, and Shuxiu is completed once a year. Converted by grain, it is about two to three hundred catties throughout the year.

The semester is six years, and after six years there will be an exam. Those who are outstanding can enter the county school to study, and the training will be halved.Examinations are conducted for a period of three years.

Those who pass the exam can enter the government school to study. After three years, they will go to Xi'an Prefecture for the examination. If they pass the examination, they will stay in Xi'an Prefecture to study.

Those who pass the exam will be exempted from training, and those with excellent grades will even be rewarded, Mingyao Township. "

The tuition fee is not expensive. Judging from the agricultural tax set by Sun Jie, as long as these people are willing, they can send their children to school.

Wang Erwa felt that she was listening to the bible.

Going to school has never been easy.

Ordinary people, not to mention sending their children to school, are very lucky to be able to attend private schools.

Everything is suffering, only reading is high.

This is the deepest belief rooted in the hearts of the people.

Wang Erwa didn't know how to describe her mood anymore, it was like drinking two or two drinks, or just getting married.

"That's great. Whatever you say, I want to send my child to school. I've been blind all my life. I can't let my child be like me!"

Wang Erwa made up her mind.

"Hey, don't be too happy, there are still good things to come.

After a while, the adults will send officials over to promote new food crops, and one mu of land can produce thousands of catties.

From now on, you will never be hungry again! The field officer looked at Wang Erwa with a smile.

After so many years of training, the potatoes and corn brought by Sun Jie have been completely mastered by the people in Fuping Fort.

We have already accumulated a lot of technical personnel. It is not enough to promote the whole world, but it is more than enough to promote a Shaanxi.

"My lord, is this really the case? Is there really such good food?!"

Wang Erwa's scalp was numb.

What happened today was really outrageous, so outrageous that I thought I was dreaming.

"Why are you lying to me? If that's the case, you can have a full stomach in the future, thank you, Mr. Sun.

Alright, I still have to go to other people's places, let's go first! "The field officer patted Wang Erwa on the shoulder and left.

After sending off the field officer, Wang Erwa knelt down on the ground again with a plop, kowtowing her head non-stop.

When did Wang Erwa see this?How many years have passed, and his life is not as good as that of a dog in a gentry's house.

Today, I finally become a human.

It's such a good feeling to be valued.

It feels so good to be a human!

Things like this happen all over Fengxiang Mansion.

Under the protection of the soldiers and the handling of the field officials, every piece of fertile land was distributed to the common people.

Sun Jie was walking in the fertile fields outside Fengxiang Mansion, his ears were full of laughter from the common people.

A gust of east wind blew up Sun Jie's clothes.

Standing behind him, Sun Chuanting asked with doubts: "My lord, your policies are good, but the one-thirty tax is lower, isn't it? It's not easy to feed so many soldiers and horses."

There is one thing to say, the tax of [-] per cent is indeed low in this era.

Sun Jie put his hands behind his back and didn't answer the question.

He looked at the elated people in front of him, and said: "For thousands of years, these people have always been cattle and sheep in the eyes of the superiors, and the wealth they created have been plundered by the superiors.

This is not over, and they even have to trample them into the soil with their feet.

The people are the foundation and the foundation of the world.They are so full of history that they don't even want to leave their names.

23 history books, but 23 family books, but 23 conspiracies.

Let the people live better, this is my wish! "

Sun Chuanting was speechless after what he said.

From ancient times to the present, everyone has said that "the people are more important than the emperor, and the country is second", but who can do it seriously?

It's just advocating prosperity and whitewashing peace.

Even under the rule of benevolence and the prosperity of Yongle, there are still many rebellious people.

If it was a prosperous age, why would the people rebel?

"The output of the grain I promote is much higher than before, and thirty taxes are enough.

What's more, in addition to domestic, there are also overseas.

You might as well look further afield, looking at Japan and the West.

There is a lot of land waiting for us there.

Wherever the sun and the moon shine and where the rivers and rivers go, they are all Han soil.

Wherever the sun reaches, it is Hanjiang.

I want to measure the world with my footsteps and lay down a big territory for future generations! "
