Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

When Qin Erbao fought on the front line in Huishan, Nanjing's King Qin's army retreated hundreds of miles.

The Gyeonggi region is also carrying out the Huangzhuang recycling plan in full swing, but in comparison, Congressman Lu's murderous intent is not as murderous as General Qin.

of course,

Just, in comparison.

Southeast of Shuntian Prefecture, Baodi County.

Lu Yu was sitting in the back hall of the county government office. Next to him was Yan Qinglai, the magistrate of Baodi County. Next to him was Qi Ji, the county magistrate of Baodi County. They seemed to be sitting around drinking tea.

"I would like to inform the Councilor, this is the list of acres owned by Huangzhuang in Baodi County, totaling 323 hectares. According to the order of the council, all of them are now returned to the council! The order is because the land in Huangzhuang is fertile and highly productive, so the land in Huangzhuang is rented. It is also high, and it is stipulated that the rent of three measures of grain per mu, or one tael of silver, has been collected from the farm until today in half a year, a total of 16,000 taels of silver, excluding losses and expenses of three measures for officials, civilians, warehouses, etc. Thousand taels, now I hand over a total of 16,000 taels of silver!"

In fact, in Qi Ji's view, whether it is the imperial village or the council's land, in the end, it will be handled by the grassroots county, and it will just be renamed.

Therefore, this civil servant who has controlled the county affairs of Baodi County for more than ten years is not worried at all that his power in Baodi County will be weakened - because both the royal family and the parliament need people like them to handle affairs!

What's more, Qi Ji believes that there is no one in the world who doesn't love silver.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow: "Three thousand taels spent in half a year???"

"Hey," the county magistrate gently shook the folding fan, and the beard at the corner of his mouth was about to fly: "Sir, these three thousand taels are yours."

As the county magistrate spoke, the county magistrate beside him laughed and handed the booklet in his hand to Lu Yu: "Senior Senator, these three thousand taels of expenses are paid out of the county. In fact, they are filial piety to you. If calculated on a full year basis, , that’s six thousand taels!”

Hearing this, Lu Yu was silent for a while, and then let out a deep laugh: "So, all your work is in vain, and if I come here and open my mouth, it will cost me three thousand taels of silver?"

"Sir, as one of the seven major council members and a confidant of the chief executive, there will be many people who need your help in the future. Hehe, this little money is nothing!" County Chief Qi Ji is obviously better than the county magistrate Yan Qinglai. With more power to speak, he leaned forward and said: "Sir, in addition to these three thousand taels, there is also the hard work fee given to you by Baodi County, which is also three thousand taels of silver."

I just arrived here, and I got six thousand taels of silver without even saying a word?

Lu Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at the county magistrate: "Is Baodi County so luxurious?"

"It's not the luxury of Baodi County, it's because of the emperor, oh no. Because it's at the feet of the parliament," Qi Ji patted his mouth with a folding fan and said with a smile, "The weather is good and the people are wealthy and merchants are like this."

Bang bang bang.

"Hey," Lu Yu nodded, patted the folding fan in his hand, and said suddenly: "Let me tell you, if the weather is good at the feet of the parliament, it is right to get more money every year!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, County Magistrate Qi Ji and County Magistrate Yan Qinglai looked at each other, their eyes filled with pride that their plan had succeeded.

Using six thousand taels of silver to win the favor of the powerful figures in the parliament and the favor of Wang Qi's confidants was a great deal.

"Sir, look at the subsequent management of the land." Qi Ji smiled very flatteringly.

"The fields will not be managed by anyone in the future, but will be taken back to the council and redistributed to all households in the county. Each household will be divided into fields by ding, and each household will be taxed by acres," Lu Yu's reply was very concise.

"Ah?" Not only Qi Ji, but also Yan Qinglai was stunned.

After a long time of turmoil, the Huangzhuang farmland is still going to be taken back?

In this way, wouldn't my cash cow be gone?

Qi Ji's face suddenly turned pale: "Sir, this contains your annual profit of 6,000 taels!"

"I, Lu Yu, don't like six thousand taels," Lu Yu shook her head: "Within three days, you two each take out one hundred thousand taels of silver and hand it over to the parliament. It will be regarded as debt relief for the previous ten years!"

"One hundred thousand taels?" Qi Ji screamed and jumped up from his chair.

"Don't want to give it?" Lu Yu raised her eyebrows, with murderous intent in her eyes. "Sir, it's not that I won't give it to you. I really can't come up with one hundred thousand taels! Let alone ten years, just give it to me." Magistrate Yan Qinglai stood up and bowed to Lu Yu: "Give me another ten years, and I will give it to you." I can’t be greedy for so much!”

"Come here!" Lu Yu came here not to drink tea with these people and kill time.

Now, since someone gives me an excuse, no wonder I am cruel.

As soon as he finished speaking, armored soldiers came forward with swords outside the door.

"Take off Yan Qinglai's official robe, throw him into prison, and declare to the entire county that he will be executed at noon tomorrow! Inform all officials and subordinates in the county to come and take a look!"

With a plop, Qi Ji fell directly to the ground.

Beheaded after three days?

Senior members of the parliament, why are you so willing to kill yourself?

Isn’t it good to be happy and get rich?

"Sir, please spare my life! I am willing! I am willing to give it!!!!"

Yan Qinglai was dragged down, and Lu Yu had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Until the sound disappeared, Qi Ji was still sitting on the ground, still in shock.

"Qi County Cheng, do you still have any objections?" Lu Yu turned her head and looked at Qi Ji.

"Sir, three days, three days, one hundred thousand taels of silver, I give it to you with both hands!" Qi Ji nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way," Lu Yu tapped the table with her hand: "There's one more thing!"

"You said it, you always said it! All the younger ones will copy it!!" Qi Ji knelt on the ground, wishing he could give Lu Yu ten big kowtows.

Because, this man really knows how to kill people!

In the past, Qi Ji and others controlled the wind and rain in Baodi County, and no one dared to resist. The eunuchs and land officials who managed the imperial village were also their own people. For decades, everything went smoothly, making Qi Ji feel that money could be used for anything. Get it done, anyone can do it themselves!

Just now, just now, Lu Yu gave a direct order, and Yan Qinglai wanted his head to fall to the ground!

How could Qi Ji not comply with everything?

"I want all of the three hundred and twenty-three hectares of the Imperial Manor. In addition, you have to vomit to me all the acres you have annexed, seized, and misappropriated in the name of managing the Imperial Manor for the emperor over the years." Lu Yu lowered his head. Looking at Qi Ji, there was a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "You'd better hand them over obediently. I'll only give you one chance. Don't let me investigate, otherwise the consequences will be the same as Yan Qinglai's. clear?"

"Understood! I understand, I will definitely do it properly, don't worry!" Qi Ji knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Lu Yu. After a while, blood stains overflowed on the ground.

"Go down." In addition to Huangzhuang Tianmu, Lu Yu also wanted to send people to compile the list of all registered farmers and all landless farmers in Baodi County as soon as possible.

"By the way, sir," Qi Ji got up from the ground and was about to leave when he turned around and asked, "The richest man in the county, Yu Yuanwai, do you want to meet him?"

"Do you have a grudge against him?" Lu Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. It's just that the Yu family has the largest number of acres in the county, but only has more than thirty people. If it is re-divided, isn't it?"

"Just in time, go and notify all landowners in the county who own more than 500 acres of land, and come to the county government office tomorrow to see them."

Time waits for no one. In three months, there are five imperial houses in Shuntian Mansion that need to be recovered, and now it is only the first one.

Lu Yu needs to be quick enough to cut the knot!

"Let's do it now, little one!" (End of Chapter)
