Chapter 831 The Root of Subjugation
Zheng Ying couldn't figure it out, but Zheng Ying knew Xiao Ruxun's order, he was absolutely loyal to Xiao Ruxun, as long as it was Xiao Ruxun's order, he would obey it unconditionally, so he didn't raise any objection.

Xie He needed him to provide two hundred elite fighters, and he provided it. He needed a capable leader, and he also provided it. Xie He also needed this team to be completely subordinate to Xie He himself, so he agreed.

So, with a working team of 36 people and a full [-] soldiers, Xie He led the team towards Dayan Village.

On the way, Xie He shared the basic information of the Rong family with his colleagues in the working group.

The Rong family was a self-cultivator in his early years. Later, because the ancestors of the third generation knew how to manage and had business acumen, he earned a considerable amount of property and trained two scholars.

The two passed the Juren examination together, and the Rong family made a fortune. After three generations, they have become the well-deserved supreme ruling family in Dayan Village, and the standard carrier for knowledge to change destiny.

For three generations, the Rong family married other wealthy and powerful landlord families in the village, and established a solid prestige. In the densely populated Dayan Village, they lived a life like a toubob. 60.00% of the fertile land in the village belonged to the Rong family. the property of.

Naturally, in the process of making a fortune, with the help of the tax-free privileges of those two juren, the Rong family also did a lot of annexation of land. The self-cultivating farmers in the run-on villages went bankrupt one after another, and either became tenants or land-lost farmers, and went to the city to work Going, I think that in the disaster of the Japanese pirates back then, the Rong family did not lose their "contribution".

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Juren has the privilege of tax exemption, but not all land can be exempted from tax. Each level of officials has the area of ​​tax-free land for each level of officials. The land below is no longer subject to taxation.

Therefore, those who are still paying taxes in the entire Dayan Village are the group of self-cultivating farmers who are struggling to survive in the cracks, while more tenants are living a muddle-headed life, neither eating enough nor starving to death.

Rong's wealth from a few hundred acres of land in the early years to the present state of ten thousand acres of fertile land, just relying on two people is definitely not enough, what happened during the period, Xie He can figure out with his toes.

It’s just that you can’t see that kind of evil now. The tenants live an honest life, the self-cultivating farmers strive to survive, and the powerful landlords who occupy a large amount of land live a relatively luxurious life. This kind of orderly life has actually emerged. A strange state of peace.

However, this is an illusion, an extremely hypocritical illusion. The tycoons who control 90.00% of the fertile land do not pay a penny of taxes, swallowing the taxes that originally belonged to the court. Now it looks peaceful, no one died, no one Everyone has a head, but the biggest victim is the entire country.

The Ming Dynasty was the biggest loser.

No one can see that the root of subjugation is hidden in this large farmland full of abundant fruits.

Putting aside its seemingly prosperous and comfortable appearance, you can see the shocking and terrible facts.

What Xie He has to do is to completely cut off the root of this subjugation, tear up this false prosperity and comfort, and let everything return to the real track.

In order to achieve this goal, Xie He first needed these local ruffians.

The Rong's family lives in the village, and some branches operate shops in the county. Together with the other big families, they control the grain prices of the entire Yin County. Of course, they must choose to do it on the main family, and directly kill the old nest, and the rest will also do it. Can't escape.

Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is the busiest time in the farmland, and a large number of farmers are busy in the field. As the owner of these land and farmers, the Rong family is naturally not idle. We got together and had a short meeting.

The central content of the meeting was that during the autumn harvest, everyone should seize the time to harvest the grain and store it. Don't send a grain of grain to the county town to sell. Wait until the county town runs out of grain, and then use this as a threat to negotiate with the Zhennan Army.

They planned to launch an attack on the Zhennan Army during the autumn harvest.

After the Zhennan army came, they directly took over the Shen Yiguan family without asking about Sanqi 21. Although it greatly shocked these people, it also aroused panic and hostility in their hearts.

Facing the fact that the family of the chief minister of a country is so ruthless, and evenly distributed the family property to those mud legs, this is simply unbelievable. These troops who claim to be the Northern Expedition to rebel are simply robbers and bandits, and they cannot be recognized by them at all. .

Not only did they do this, but they also used the army to carry out coercive deterrence. They wiped out the county government office, and sent another person to control the county government office. payment.

what is this?
Isn't this robbers and bandits?
If you can attack the Shenyiguan family today, you will be able to attack them next year. The Rong family knows this well, so these days, they not only actively contacted the powerful people from other villages, but also gathered the armed forces from the powerful families in this village. Enhanced the resistance of Dayan Village.

The same is true for some other connected villages. Everyone agrees to show Xiao Ruxun and the Zhennan Army a little bit of color during the autumn harvest. They will not sell food or allow them to enter the villages.

Not only that, the Rong family and some other big families also sent people to leave Ningbo to move rescue soldiers to other places. Although there is no definite news about the rescue of soldiers, the force in their hands is already able to deal with the forces of the Zhennan Army occupying Ningbo Mansion. Launched a counterattack.

As long as the Zhennan Army is attacked by so many people at the same time, and there is still not enough food in hand, are you still worried that Ningbo Mansion will continue to be controlled and occupied by the Zhennan Army?This group of rebels will be wiped out sooner or later.

They believe in themselves so much.

The main content of today's meeting also included how to mobilize troops, how to act, who will be the commander-in-chief, etc. Everyone expressed their opinions and exchanged opinions. Although there are still many things that have not been negotiated, at least it can be said that everyone has Initial cooperation intention.

The rest is constant negotiation, such as the land that was confiscated by the Zhennan Army, how to distribute it after the Zhennan Army is killed, and so on.

The head of the Rong family, Rong Bing, has the most say on this matter, because a woman in their family once married a man from the Shen family to become the main wife, and the man's status in the Shen family is not low, so Rong Shi believes that he should be able to get some high-quality land.

In this regard, many families have objected.

Because they also married their clan daughters to the Shen family or several other families that were confiscated, they all believed that they had the right to inherit those lands. Anyway, they were basically sure that those who were taken away would not come back, so they will not fight now. Grab, how long do we have to wait?
