Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 503 Liu Lian's Letter
In the letter, Liu Lian first told Zhu Zhen about the predicament he encountered in promoting the Yellow Book——Qingzhang Tianmu encountered great obstacles.

The officials he sent to the countryside to clean up their husbands were often expelled, abused and even beaten by the common people.In more than a year, more than a dozen policemen died, so much so that they paid double wages, and they were unwilling to go to the countryside anymore.

In order to solve this problem, Liu Lian also made great efforts.He organized people to preach to the people that the purpose of clearing up the land and making up the yellow book is to give the court a basis for tax collection.So that those with more fields pay more taxes, and those without fields with few fields pay less taxes!

In the past, the local tyrants and gentry who owned a large amount of land bribed the government, used various methods to hide their land property and pass on the tax burden, and let the poor people bear most of the taxes for them.

The poor people can't afford the excessive taxation, so they can only sell their land cheaply to the big households to cope with the urging of the government like a wolf like a tiger.

So 'the rich are connected to the fields, and the poor have no place to stand. ''Although the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were changed, there is absolutely no improvement'...

Therefore, it is a great thing to reduce the burden on the poor people to re-clear the land and clear the land and compile the yellow book.The common people should strongly support it, and should not try their best to obstruct it!
However, the obvious truth does not make sense to ordinary people.

Liu Lian believed that the reason was that since ancient times, the imperial power did not come down to the counties, and the vast villages were ruled by the gentry and elders.

With the power of clan and ethics, these people have ruled the countryside and farmers for thousands of years.Although the replacement of dynasties is not easy.

These country gentry and clan elders seized land and became big landlords by virtue of their privileges.Then, relying on the wealth produced by the land, it monopolized culture, ethics, justice, and opportunities to deal with the government, and continued to consolidate its position by making ordinary people unable to see, hear, and think.

As a result, the poor people have become old and deeply rooted, and they have become marionettes who cannot think, and their every move is manipulated by the old gentry behind the scenes.

Let me ask, what effect can speaking to a puppet have?That is to say, it will not help.

Therefore, Liu Lian understood that only by cutting off the strings in the hands of those old gentry clans would it be possible to change this situation.

Only then did he know why he emphasized that if he wanted to succeed in the yellow book, he needed to acquire a lot of land when he was given the opportunity before he left Beijing, which went hand in hand with the implementation of the lijia system.

Only by using the lijia system, an artifact that fragments the inherent power structure in the countryside, to break the control of the gentry and elders over the poor people, can it be possible to successfully clear the land and successfully implement the yellow book!
However, when he implemented the Lijia system, he also encountered huge resistance.The clans did not agree to be divided and reorganized, and the squires objected to letting ordinary people serve as the head of the village, because it would dilute their power.

They gathered together and filed a complaint with the government, accusing Liu Lian of "breaking up the clan, breaking the township covenant, instigating unruly people, and destroying the gentry", calling him "the source of disaster".It is prophesied that in a short time, the customs in the countryside of Jiangxi will go bad, people will lose their conscience, and disasters will be everywhere!

What Liu Lian didn't expect was that even Zhengyi's Niubi began to oppose him.

When they opened the altar to teach the Fa, they slandered him to the believers, saying that he was a black dragon who came to the world to stir up trouble, confuse people's hearts, and do evil in Jiangxi and so on.Anyone who cooperates with him and signs the 'Lijia Township Treaty' is a monster who has been bewitched by the black flood dragon, and sooner or later they will be killed together...

Zhengyi has been passed down for more than 1000 years and more than [-] years, and its influence in Jiangxi is beyond imagination.They stood up to oppose, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Lian, making him "difficult to move forward, struggling to move forward and backward"...

~~
Seeing this, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to stop and calm down.

This was the first time he learned from Liu Lian's letter that it was difficult for his brother to implement the Yellow Book in Jiangxi, and he encountered strong hostility.

Zhu Zhen also read several letters from Liu Lian's family before, and the big brother has always been full of confidence.Even if some difficulties are mentioned, it also means that "despite all setbacks, we will be as one" and "we will be able to overcome thorns and thorns, and Yuru will succeed in success".

But it never expected that what the elder brother encountered was such a malicious situation.

"Well, the big gentry in Jiangxi, like those in Jiangnan, have been spoiled by the Yuan Dynasty's tax subsidy system." Shen Liben sighed and whispered:

"For nearly 100 years, the imperial court has been in vain, and the local government has been maintained entirely by the self-government of the gentry. It is definitely not used to the sudden division of power in their hands..."

"It's Daming now!" Zhu Zhen suddenly raised his voice: "I miss the Yuan Dynasty so much, so they all go to Mobei and find their Yuan Dynasty emperor!"

"Yes, yes." Seeing His Highness getting mad, Shen Liben hastily changed his words: "Actually, in the Song Dynasty, the government had accurate control over the land and property of the big households, and the taxes were paid by the rich households, so they just accepted it obediently..."

"These bastards just need to be cleaned up!" The sixth child cursed and continued to turn the pages to read the letter.

~~
After turning the page, Liu Lian's tone changed from depressed to excited - he told Zhu Zhen that things had taken a huge turn for the better!
A chief secretary named Pang Yi secretly gave him a copy of "Regardless of Account Books", which helped him uncover the reason why the implementation of the New Deal was always half the effort; it also solved the mystery that had always shrouded his mind.

He carefully studied the account books and found that Jiangxi still has a huge amount of land and population, which are not in the government's books at all!

The starting point for the government to clear Zhang Tianmu was the census in the third year of Hongwu.According to Boss Zhu's top-level design, as long as the household stickers are compiled properly, the family information of each household can be mastered.

Know where your home is, how many people there are, and how many hidden fields can be dug out for you!

But Boss Zhu didn't expect that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.In the census in the third year of Hongwu, the Jiangxi government actually concealed one-third of the population and did not report it!Naturally, no household stickers were compiled!
The land occupied by these people was naturally missed when clearing Zhang Tianmu!

In particular, Jiangxi is not as flat as Susong. Except for the northern plains, most of its areas are dominated by hills and mountains, with basins and valleys widely distributed.

If there are no locals to lead the way, you will not be able to find the villages dotted in the mountain basins and valley bottoms.

As a result, the population and land scattered in the mountainous areas of Jiangxi disappeared from the court's sight...

If that's all, it can also be inferred that local officials are negligent and ineffective in their work.

But there is still such a book, which records in detail the existence of that part of Yin Tian Yinhu's "No Account Book"!The nature of the problem changed all of a sudden!
It's not that they are negligent in politics and ineffective at work, but that they colluded with each other and colluded with each other, deliberately concealing a large number of household registrations and land in order to evade taxes from the court!
As for why this "Regardless Account Book" was established?Isn't this nonsense?The princes who helped to hide together, are they working for those big dogs for nothing?
There must be a protection fee!

This account book is the basis for the local government to collect protection fees from big dogs!
