Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Fang coughed twice.

"Let me tell you, as soon as the railway was built near my home last month, the housing prices near my home have been rising rapidly, and..."

Xiao Fang: "???"

Seeing that his cough didn't seem to attract their attention, Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed.

But he soon regained his composure and no one was paying attention anyway. He was so embarrassed that he coughed a few more times with more strength.

"Cough cough!!!"

This time it attracted some people's attention, but most people, especially those standing at the back, were still talking about it. After all, 50,000 people were standing densely on the school grounds, and the voices were so low that the people behind him couldn't hear it.

Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed now. When the Yunzhou Army was stationed here, even if there were 200,000 people, the people behind him could hear the general speaking clearly while standing on the general stage.

Unexpectedly, when it was my turn, only fifty thousand people could not hear clearly.

At this time, an old government officer quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Master Taishou, the military attachés and others before were all practicing internal martial arts. In addition, they are martial arts people, so their voices are already loud. You are so quiet, what will happen later?" Can't hear it at all."

Xiao Fang was stunned, and then asked: "Then how can I attract their attention?"

The old yamen servant smiled and waved, and immediately the yamen servant brought a big gong for several years!

when! ! ! when! when! when!
The loud sound of gongs and drums immediately covered up the discussion in the school grounds.

The young people who were still discussing finally turned their attention to Dianjiangtai.

Seeing this, Xiao Fang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little lucky.

The team of government officials left to him by the previous county governor are still useful. Fortunately, they are here today.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Fang straightened his body again, and just as he was about to speak, a tin trumpet was suddenly handed over from the side.

Xiao Fang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reached out to take it, showing a satisfied smile to the old government officer beside him.

The old government officer smiled back and quickly retreated to the rear.

With the trumpet in hand, Xiao Anxin felt confident and said to everyone: "The reason why His Majesty wants you to go to the pass is because he wants you to become officials!"

Be an official? ? ? ! ! ! !

All the young people were suddenly shocked!
Isn't it true that only students from a university such as the Political Academy have the chance to become an official?

When did students from intermediate schools like them actually have the opportunity to become officials?

Is the Sheriff trying to frame us?
Facing everyone's suspicious looks, Xiao Fang smiled slightly and then explained:
"Your Majesty wants to clear the land in order to clarify the land in the world!

Why should we clarify the land of the world?
That's because the fish scale atlas in the hands of the government is inaccurate!
There are a lot of hidden fields that are not on the Fish Scales album!
Why is this?
Which of you knows? "

After all the young people looked at each other for a moment, someone finally said hesitantly: "It's because the local landlords and gentry have concealed a lot of newly reclaimed land."

Xiao Fang nodded and shook his head, explaining:
“This answer is right! It’s also wrong!
Why do you say so?

That's because the local landlords and gentry not only concealed the newly reclaimed land, they even used means to appropriate the people's land.

Although the land that was usurped by the people was familiar land, they only needed to let the land leave the hands of the people and then leave it abandoned for three to five years.

It was said to be abandoned, but it was just a name on the fish scale atlas. After it became a wasteland again in the government's atlas, this piece of mature land naturally disappeared from the fish scale atlas. And that's part of where Hidden comes from.

These landowners and gentry are deeply rooted in the local area, taking advantage of the information gap and their own power to continuously use various means to disappear good fields from the fish scale album. Even the year of great disaster is the best time for them to do strange things.

For example, if a certain place is hit by a flood, they can join forces with the local government to openly and openly cross off part of the land from the fish scale album in the name of being destroyed by water, and then take it into their own hands.

As a result, they had more land, and it was land that they did not have to pay taxes on. "

After Xiao Fang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the field. Many young students who graduated from intermediate schools felt that their worldviews had been reshaped. How could such things exist in this world?
Xiao Fang waited quietly, letting them digest the amount of information in the previous words before continuing:
“The consequence of their actions is that more and more fields are hidden, while fewer and fewer fields are included in the government’s fish scale atlas.

As a result, Chaotian collected less and less taxes every year. Without taxes, the court would have no money to maintain the operation of the court and no money to build the army. This also caused the previous Song Dynasty to become weaker and weaker.

The people are becoming more and more miserable. The court has no money, and the people have no money. So where does the money go? "

Everyone bowed their heads in thought.

Xiao Fang grinned slightly and said the answer: "The money is all in the hands of those landlords and gentry!

They hid the land and occupied not only the interests of the court, but also the interests of the people.

They would even use unfair transactions to make the government pay the taxes to the people through unfair transactions. This resulted in the people having to pay huge taxes every year even though they had no land in their hands!

Life became more and more difficult, and they even sold their houses and fields. Then these landlords and gentry went to buy back their houses and fields at low prices, thus forcing more people to sell their houses and fields!

From then on, we fell into a vicious cycle and got out of control!
If they are allowed to continue like this and let it go, the final result will be that it explodes like a bomb!

With the sound of the prince and general Xiang Ning, is it possible? The people will revolt!

The great Song Dynasty will be on the verge of danger!
If we want to stop this vicious cycle, we must start from the root cause and let the court receive the taxes it should have received.

So His Majesty and the imperial court will begin to clear the land.

But there is no point in clearing the land, as long as the landlords and gentry are still there, and they still control the resources and power in the countryside!

Then one day the scene in front of you will appear again!

At that time, will the Song Dynasty still have a hero like His Majesty who will clear the land again?
Or will the landlords and gentry after our time of clearing their husbands be on guard?

The difficulty will be even higher then! "

Xiao Fang glanced at everyone, and then continued:
"So in order to avoid this situation from happening, we must eliminate the roots of these landlords and gentry. His Majesty has thought of a way, which is to send the imperial power to the countryside and completely extend the court's control to the countryside!

Let them no longer be able to do evil in the countryside unscrupulously!
Let the majesty of the imperial court exist in the village and disrupt the local control ability of these landlords and gentry!

And to do this, Your Majesty needs a group of capable people! Have faith! Aspiring young people who are willing to go deep into the grassroots to help the Song Dynasty! "

When Xiao Fang said this, all the young people felt that their blood was burning.

They are doing a great thing, and they are doing something that will go down in history. Maybe their names will be recorded in the annals of history in the future, and they will be admired by future generations.

To reach such heights, they now only need to make one choice.

And there is no doubt that they are ready to choose!
