I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 84 I dedicate land to the imperial court

It seemed that he had to endure the pain and cut his flesh, otherwise he wouldn't know who would be dragged out next and ransacked his house.

Seeing this scene, everyone present also looked away.Before the two heads of the family, Liu Tian, ​​could say anything, they saw the third person on the right standing up.

"Sir, the imperial court's farming is a big deal. If it is done well, it will definitely lower the price of food, which will be of great benefit to our military and civilians. Naturally, our military and civilians in Liaodong will support it. In this way, my Li family is willing to give up one-third of my family's farmland. , a total of 65 hectares were donated to the imperial court to help the imperial court carry out this important event."

Xiong Tingbi smiled happily when he heard this. He really couldn't cry without seeing the coffin. If he had understood the current affairs earlier, we wouldn't have to perform this show here.

But don’t reach out and hit the smiling person. Since he is the first one to donate and is so conscious, he naturally needs to be commended.

"Very good. Look, this is the real country that is loyal to the emperor. Brother Yang, we should report to the court. The court cannot treat such loyal and patriotic people badly. What do I think about recommending his son as a supervisor?"

Yang Lian also nodded in agreement.

"I think it's feasible, and I'll report it to the court together."

Recommending his son as an imperial student means that his child can enter the Imperial College. The Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty was not just about studying.

After entering, it is equivalent to recruiting people, and you have the qualifications to be an official. According to the system, you can obtain the qualifications to be an official after completing your studies.The Li family donated one-third of their land, which was equivalent to donating an official position to their descendants.

Although this deal is not cost-effective, it seems to make the head of the Li family very happy and comforted. It is not a waste of hard work.

"Thank you Governor Xiong and Yang Qinchen. Your Majesty's kindness is so great. We will do our best."

The rest of the people felt a little better after hearing this. It seemed that they had to donate their fields.

It's all a donation anyway, and if it can provide a career for future generations, that's good too.So they all spoke up.

"My Liu family contributes three hundred hectares", "My Tian family also contributes three hundred hectares", "I donate one hundred hectares", "I donate ninety hectares"...

"Okay, okay! Whoever said that the Liao people don't want to attach themselves to the imperial court, I think it's all nonsense. With all of you helping me so hard, nothing can be accomplished. Why should I be afraid of just building a captive?"

Everyone also laughed apologetically, but they were bleeding and cursing in their hearts. It was really like beating gongs and drums in the hall, and they would hug each other and cry when they went home at night.

After a pleasant scene, no more scribes came into the hall to make any confessions. Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Xiong Tingbi did not embarrass them and let them go back after a brief explanation.

After they left, Xiong Tingbi was very satisfied with the result.

"Brother Yang, I think this method is good. After this, the land confiscated by the Zhang family and the Cheng family, plus the donations from various families, total three to four thousand hectares, or fifty thousand acres. We will work hard to reclaim more With the release of land and the transportation of grain and grass by sea, I think that by next year, grain prices in Liaodong will be stable."

A big thing that was weighing on his mind finally came to an end. How could he not be happy?

Yang Lian was also happy when he heard this, but he understood that although this method was effective, asking them to donate land to ensure peace today would definitely cause them great pain. When they return, they will definitely use their connections to impeach them.

And by acting like this, I am afraid that they will not be grateful to the court for letting them go, but will resent the court even more. After a while, I am afraid that someone will collude with them to build captives.Xiong Tingbi heard this but was not worried. For these powerful clans, the situation does not matter in the hearts of the people, but in the battlefield. As long as they win the battle, they will naturally obey.

Yang Lian had nothing to say when he saw this. He also knew in his heart that the big families in Liaodong could ignore it, but the common people had to take care of it, so they must not be careless about the farming matter.

However, most of his purpose of coming to Liaodong has been completed. As long as he ends up in Liaoyang and helps Xiong Tingbi take over these fields, he can start hiring people to plan and reclaim the wasteland and prepare for farming in the coming year. Once these are completed, he will set off for Liaoning. Returned to Beijing via Denglai in the south.

The situation was not as expected by the two of them. When the family patriarchs returned home, the family members learned that the fields had to be handed over to avoid disasters. Some were thankful to have escaped the disaster, while others complained that the court was too harsh. They even hated the court even more after seeing this. , and actually wanted to contact Jianlu.

The Wang family in the south of Liaoyang City has been engaged in fur and medicinal materials business all year round, and also has considerable land in Liaodong. Because the business needs to collect more mountain products, he has more contact with the Mongolian Jurchens. There are also distant branches of the family who have joined the Jianlu, but no one knows about it.

Relying on this secret relationship, they also secretly resold materials to Jianlu and conveyed court intelligence. They were cautious at first, but they were no longer afraid after doing too much.

The raid on the Zhang family this time also made them more alert, but they didn't want to stop doing it, but they wanted to be more careful in the future.

"Father, how could Governor Xiong do this? What is the difference between this and an open robbery? Is this a government or a bandit?"

Wang Shifeng, the eldest son of the head of the Wang family, is mainly responsible for the business with Jianlu. He has long been dissatisfied with the imperial court. This inspection will make it difficult for his family to do business again.

"Brother, I think this is an opportunity. The Zhang family has been raided, and there are fewer and fewer opponents who can supply gold. Wealth can be found in danger. This is our opportunity. We can write a letter to Sibeile to explain the reason. , when the price can be raised a little more, there will be a lot of profit.”

The younger son next to him saw the situation and suggested that there was no way anyone could tell that the fur medicinal materials business was too profitable, and he was unwilling to let go even if the risks were high now.

"Bastard, what's going on now? The Zhang family's lesson hasn't been great enough. Do you want us to follow in the Zhang family's footsteps and kill us?"

After hearing this, the head of the Wang family cursed his youngest son.He was a little scared now. The cries of the Zhang family's children in the Dusi Yamen and the scene of the Cheng family's instant destruction were still vivid in his mind. He instantly felt Xiong Tingbi's vicious methods and determination to never tolerate it.

But his two sons disagreed. Seeing that their father was so stubborn and timid, they were unwilling to argue. After looking at each other, they thought about going back later to discuss how to bypass their father's correspondence with Hou Jin.

If Zhu Youxiao knew about this, he would definitely think of Mr. Ma’s wise saying: If you have 50% profit, you will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, you will dare to trample all human laws; if you have 300% profit, you will dare to commit crimes Any crime, even risking hanging.

This kind of thing happened not only in Liaodong, but also in other places in the Ming Dynasty.

The news that the Zhang family had been confiscated was still fermenting rapidly. As the main contact person of the Zhang family, Nurhachi also quickly learned about the matter, so he quickly called the chief minister He Heli, as well as the military officers E Yidu, Anfei Yanggu, There are also four major Baylors, surrendered general Li Yongfang and others to discuss this matter.

Huang Taiji, who was responsible for communicating with the Liao people, was the first to be questioned.

"Huang Taiji, didn't you say before that these Liao people are all local rich people and no one dares to touch them? Now why do you say that if you are arrested, you will be arrested? Is there no one in the Ming Dynasty who objects?"
