Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 230 Am I Discussing With You? (fourth more)
"Captain, don't go into too much detail about the land at all. Where is the landlord who doesn't eat people?"

It's easier than dealing with those dentists.

As soon as the first trick of dipping the whip in cold water was used, they couldn't bear it anymore and used everything.

Clearing land is a trivial matter.

The arable land around the entire Hequ County.

More than one-third of the land is guarded by adults, and the surrounding military households are farming for him to make a living.

Military officers are almost hereditary. From the beginning, they were brothers with the soldiers of the guards below, and then they gradually gained a class, and began to regard the descendants of the brothers below as slaves.

They encroached on the land that originally belonged to the military households, and more and more, plus those who fled, naturally fell into the hands of Zheng Shoubei.

The rest is the land occupied by gentry and petty officials for generations.

As for the yeoman?

Where are the self-cultivators? They all went to Guihua City to farm.

At least they will be less exploited and they will still have enough to eat.

He Jinzhao was at a loss for words when he heard Gao Yigong say such "philosophical" words.

He suddenly remembered the words of Mr. Lu Xun: The book is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but if you look carefully, there are only two words: cannibalism.

"Then register and register again. At that time, the fields will be distributed to the soldiers under our brothers."

Gao Yigong didn't quite understand He Jinzhao's operation. Since we can get help, why should we divide the fields for the brothers?
At that time, the brothers are going out to fight, who will farm for the family!
Gao Yigong didn't say much, in short, the captain can do whatever he wants, otherwise the fertile fields outside the city would have to be vacant.

"I want specific numbers of fields, how many acres of irrigated land, and how many acres of dry land. This is hard work.

In the future, it will be extended to nearby villages, the land of the landlords will be confiscated, and the heinous ones will be killed. Those with a better reputation will be allowed to leave only one hundred acres of land, and the rest will be confiscated. "

He Jinzhao didn't really believe in the fake data in Hequ County, so he had to find a reliable person for this matter.

"Okay, then I'll do it."

Gao Yigong has been a jailer since he was young, and he has a fierce look. He is good at dealing with people.

He Jinchao wrote another letter to Chen Chong, a member of Ningyanghou's tribe, telling him that he had gained a firm foothold in Shanxi.

If the two sides can still strengthen cooperation, you can bring a caravan to Hequ County to do business, and if you can open a branch here, I will cover you.

Recently.

He Jinzhao also called all the high-ranking gentry in the city to a meeting. To save face, he gave up the occupied land, leaving only a hundred acres.

If you don't give face, then come hard!
Regarding He Jinzhao's blatant robbery, many gentry dared not speak out.

Why did he confiscate all the foundations that my ancestors have worked so hard to entrap with a single sentence?
Zheng Shoubei in Hequ County is suffering and cannot tell.

He went back to before the founding of the Ming Dynasty overnight, and his house and land were all gone.

Fortunately, he still kept a lot of family wealth, and He Jinzhao promised himself to be a rich man.

"King He, is this too cruel and unpopular?"

He Jinzhao glanced at him. These people now feel that they are "people" instead of scholars who oppress the people?
"Am I discussing with you?"

Seeing the faint smile on He Jinzhao's face, the gentry were so frightened that they fell silent for a moment, and some of their hairs twitched.

This situation reminded them of Emperor Taizu, who was also so cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people like hemp.

"Money and land, choose one!"

He Jinzhao stood up, looked at the crowd and said:
"I don't mind making an example of others, after all, some people think that I am too kind, and they think that I am a good-natured person.

In the entire Hequ County, no one has tried whether the knife in my hand is sharp. You can try it first! "

"Your Majesty He." Zheng Shoubei hastily expressed his position: "My Zheng family will certainly follow the arrangements of He Dawang, and will never complain."

"Okay." He Jinzhao looked at the gentry: "What about you?"

"We will follow King He's arrangement."

He Jinzhao smiled: "Actually, I don't want to keep you, but in order to prevent you from harboring resentment towards me, I still have to keep you in the city.

In case some people can't think about it and come to assassinate me, then I will have an excuse to kill your whole family. "

Everyone was so frightened by He Jinzhao's blatant threat that they broke into cold sweat.

This man is too cruel.

That seemingly docile appearance was just his hidden mask.

If the heart is not cruel and the methods are not vicious, how can we conquer several counties in Shanxi and besiege Taiyuan, so that the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with him.

Now people are talking to you in a gentle manner, because they just want to trade horses with the Mongols to strengthen themselves because of the terrain here.

Anyone who does not open his eyes and blocks his way will have his entire family killed.

Coupled with the fact that the Hammer bandits were specifically intercepting and killing big households in other prefectures and counties in Shanxi, now He Jinzhao's "discussing" with them in a friendly manner has already given him a lot of face.

The gentry thought about this clearly, and they all resigned.

The family occupied so many fields and handed over all of them, and no one was happy.

Although the harvest is mediocre, the field can be passed on from generation to generation, and it is the last reliance of the family.

Fortunately, He Jinzhao did not order to confiscate all the shops, which also left them a way out.

After all, you can make a lot of money by trading with the Mongolians and then reselling the goods as a middleman.

He couldn't beat He Jinzhao now, so he could only hold back his breath.

See how rampant he is, and make plans when the imperial army comes in the future.

How long can a grass-headed king like him be rampant?
It's just that the Tartars outside the pass suddenly attacked the capital, which gave the gang of rebels an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Today, both the gentry and the peasant army have great trust in Daming.

Except for Gao Yingxiang, the rest of the rebels were all flying the banner of justice for the sky, and no one raised the banner of anti-Ming.

Similarly, He Jinzhao did not formally raise the banner of anti-Ming, otherwise, according to Chongzhen's petty temper, he would definitely have received a lot of attention.

In their philosophy, we are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, and the emperor also recognizes them, so the rebellion is not very thorough.

Few people think that Ming can perish.

Even if someone realizes it, there are only a few who can muster up the courage to practice it.

Just after the group of gentry left, Zhaomoqiu Zhitao, who was promoted twice by Wang Xiangkun, the Zuo Buzheng of Shanxi, was sent to Hequ.

That night, he was taken out of the tent and shouted "I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me and so on."

But the price of 1 taels, Qiu Zhitao really said it was too high, the reward Lin Danhan back then was only 1 taels of silver.

As for the plan to buy him later, give him a million taels of silver and let him pull Nurhachi's hind legs.

It's not that Daming didn't send the money, but that Lin Danhan was beaten away by Houjin and had no chance to accept Daming's reward.

But 1 taels is really money for Lin Danhan.

As a result, Qiu Zhitao was sent to He Jinzhao in a state of apprehension and panic.
