Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 163 Strange Man
Through newspapers, mobilize the power of the masses.

The New Deal finally took root in the soil of Ming Dynasty.

A nationwide Qingzhang Land Fever broke out.

All kinds of letters reporting on the hidden fields flew like snowflakes to various government offices.

The whole world, especially Fengyang Mansion, which was the center of the Lan Mansion incident, was in a state of uproar.

The direct consequence of this series of events is that land prices across the country have plummeted.

I don't know who started selling the land first, and others followed suit.

But there are many people selling land, but very few people buying land.

Under the New Deal, the more land there is, the higher the taxes paid.

If real estate cannot generate enough income, it will become a burden.

You know, the rural gentlemen and families do not cultivate the fields themselves.

They hired tenant farmers and long-term workers, and they already needed to pay wages. Now, coupled with the taxes after the new system reform, there is almost no profit at all.

Those that are not managed well may even have to pay back money.

At this time, these lands have become a hot potato for them.

As for the past practice of bribery with government agencies and establishing good relationships with servants to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance, this path is no longer feasible.

Dingyuan County Magistrate Lu Tao is a lesson learned from the past.

Not only that, the court also published a reporting mechanism through Daming Daily.

Anyone who discovers that the county officials have violated the rules in clearing land can report it to the county government at the same level.Anyone who is found to have violated the county order can report it to the superior state government office.If you find that someone is shielding and conniving at the state government's yamen, you can go directly to Beijing and beat the drum to complain.

Any report, once verified, will also receive a reward.

Under this mechanism, all hidden acres will be invisible.

Moreover, the new policies and regulations also stipulate that resisting the payment of taxes is a felony.

Once verified, everything will be dealt with in a fixed manner. No matter how prominent your family is, it will be useless.

It was against this background that some of the squires began to sell their excess land.

On the market, the amount of land for sale suddenly increased sharply.

But the group that had money to buy land before was the gentry themselves, so the land could not be sold at all.

They have no choice but to start cutting prices.

After the land fell to a certain level, those small farmers and poor farmers were finally able to afford it.

One by one, they took back the land that originally belonged to them at a price they had never thought of before, with happy smiles on their faces.

This kind of scene happens everywhere in the country.

Those noble ministers, rural gentry and noble families cursed in their hearts. They wanted to eat Yang Xian's flesh and drink his blood for the man who formulated the New Deal.If it were the Ming Dynasty that was hard to come back a hundred years later, it would really cause some turmoil.

Zhang Juzheng is a living example.

But now is the early Ming Dynasty. As long as Emperor Hongwu leans forward, these people will be frightened and immediately shrink their necks without even doing anything else.

They only dared to curse in their hearts.

Playing behind the scenes is another matter.

At least I don't dare to openly use the slogan "Qingjun side".

But for the most ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, they were absolutely grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Xian.

For them, Yang Xian, who formulated the New Deal, was simply their reborn parent.

Aren't they the parents who can let them own the land again?
On Yang Xian's side, after feeling a slight sense of crisis, he began to speed up the progress of laying train tracks.

When the time comes, tracks will be spread all over the country, and wherever the sun shines, he, Yang Xian, will be invincible.Those nobles and nobles who dare to beep, just send them directly to see the stewed Kunkun.

Dingyuan County, somewhere at the foot of a barren mountain.

Hu Ye was carrying a bucket and fetching water from the stream.

After the New Deal reforms, although Dingyuan County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

But Hu and his daughter did not choose to go back, but continued to stay in this barren mountain.

Even near the county seat, there is already land they can afford.

Hu Ye fetched water, turned around and was about to walk up the mountain when he saw a man dressed as a scholar walking from a distance.

Another scholar.

Hu Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the first time she met Li Jin.

"Is this Miss Hu Ye?" the visitor asked directly.

"Master, do you know me?" Hu Ye's face was full of doubts.

You must know that she is just the most ordinary peasant girl, and Hu Ye really has no impression of the face in front of her.

"I am Li Jin's friend." The man revealed his identity.

Li Jin
Hu Ye whispered in his heart.

She looked up at Yang Xian and said, "If the young master wants to persuade me to leave here on behalf of Mr. Li, I'm afraid the young master will be disappointed."

Hu Ye now naturally knows Li Jin's identity.

Li Jin even used the salary he saved on weekdays to buy back the original land of Hu Ye and his daughter, hoping to let them go back.

But for some unknown reason, Hu Ye and his daughter did not agree.

"Do you come to the mountain to fetch water every day?" The man did not answer Hu Ye's question directly, but smiled, reached out and naturally took the bucket from Hu Ye's hand, and started walking up the mountain.

When Hu Ye reacted, the bucket in his hand had already been passed over.

He looked at the man in front of him, and he felt strange. He didn't look like a scholar at all.

He speaks casually, giving people a natural feeling. You must know that when he first met Li Jin, Li Jin stood at attention and bowed in various ways, while those scholars in Ding Yuanxian were even more exaggerated.Moreover, the strength of the man in front of him was not like that of a scholar at all.

There was a bucket full of water, and it was very difficult for her to lift it with both hands every time.

But the other party just carried it with one hand, as easily as carrying a kettle.

Although her father could lift a bucket with one hand, he could never do it as easily as he did.

What a strange reader.

"Yeah." Hu Ye nodded and said. "There is no way. There is no water source on the mountain. To get water for irrigation, we have to go to the bottom of the mountain."

"Then it will take a lot of time to go back and forth." The man walking in front looked back at Hu Ye, and then said. "And the strength of a girl like her is already small, so the efficiency will be low."

Listen to what the man said.

Hu Ye's face turned red. She had been doing farm work since she was a child. She was very strong. She was at least stronger than Li Jin.

It is enough to be able to carry a bucket full of water from the foot of the mountain to the mountain alone.

But what happened to be in front of her right now was a monster.

Compared to the man in front of her, isn't her strength small?

Hu Ye whispered, "My strength cannot be underestimated."

The man walking in front may have heard it and laughed happily.

"Miss Hu, why don't you want to leave here? I heard that Li Jin helped you buy back the fields you sold before?"
