People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 106 There are a lot of strange things happening this year! The wealthy gentleman was killed and cried for his father and mother! People pray for Japanese pirates to come ashore
By this time, if the wealthy gentry in the southeast don't know that Chen Han is up to something, then they are too stupid.

What they didn't expect was that even though they knew the situation, they couldn't leave the city at all.

The officers of the guard station who had always been close to them before seemed to have become Bao Qingtian now, and they did not dare to accept a bribe of one tael of silver.

This really can't be blamed on these officers and soldiers becoming incorruptible, but because Chen Han gave the death order.

The families in each city who had done evil things were listed on a table and distributed to each team of city-defending officers and soldiers.

Whoever releases the family here from the city will have his head chopped off.

Among the two choices between life and money, of course they choose the former.

As a result, these officers and soldiers became incorruptible officials, which made the wealthy gentry in the city gnash their teeth with hatred.

They have now learned the lesson, Chen Han is so powerful.

Although Chen Han came here in the name of clearing out Japanese pirates in the southeast, it has only been a month now.

Not only did Chen Han fail to get rid of the so-called Japanese pirates, but they intensified.

From time to time, pirates and Japanese pirates would come ashore and wipe out some families and evacuate their property.

Then, if the survivors go to Chen Han and cry, saying that they don’t want their property or anything else, but can the land be returned?

Then Chen Han will move out and the land will be returned to you.

But do I need to pay back the land taxes owed over the years?
Why can these families develop?

Isn't it just colluding with the government, and then evading taxes, thus annexing other people's land and accumulating wealth?

The amount of tax owed is huge.

If all this was put together to settle the accounts, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver.

Even if the family hadn't been wiped out and the property hadn't been emptied, it would be painful to take out this money.

Not to mention that now that the house has been evacuated, what can we give back?
So no one dared to ask Chen Han for land.

Not to mention that Chen Han personally used a guillotine to cut off the heads of those who dared to ask for land from him in front of so many people.

Everyone knows that if you go to Chen Han to ask for land, you will get into trouble with your own head.

So these rich people can only have their teeth knocked out or swallowed with blood.

His family was killed, and the land was directly distributed to the people below.

Those common people would probably wake up laughing from their dreams.

Landowners’ fields are those with the best fertility and the best locations.

That is the land that generations of people have wanted to own.

Now it is given to them for free, without paying any money, and when others distributed the land to them, they also publicized it.

It is said that after the Japanese pirates in the southeast have been solved, the reform of dividing the land into acres and allowing the gentry to share the grain together will be implemented in the southeast.

This means that whoever has more land will pay more.

Those who have no land or little land do not need to pay.

From now on, those messy corvees and servants will no longer pay, and all will be included in the land tax.

The common people pay taxes every year and they are very clear about it. In fact, the land tax is not high.

It has been very low since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but the messy apportionment is very high, which is a big mountain that weighs on the people.

If this big mountain was gone, they would not object at all to the land tax, but would instead set off firecrackers to celebrate. The people were happy, but the rich and landowners were crying.

Many wealthy people in Hangzhou went to the governor of Zhejiang to ask him what to do.

The governor of Zhejiang wanted to laugh in his heart. My family has been wiped out and all the property has been emptied. How can I still care about you?
Now I can't wait to cooperate with those Japanese pirates and kill your whole family, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart.

Of course the governor of Zhejiang cannot say that, after all, he is still an official.

Although he doesn't know how long he can keep his black gauze hat, one day as a monk will make him hit the clock.

The governor of Zhejiang still comforted him: "If you really have a grievance, you can go directly to the governor of Zhejiang Province, and the minister will definitely provide you with justice."

The landowners were so angry that they almost cursed when they heard this.

If I really dare to demand justice from him, do I still need to go to you?
Although your family was wiped out, you didn't charge us any less money before. Now that we are close to each other, you actually send us away with such words. How is that possible?

"Anyway, that's what I'm saying here. If you are really capable, don't come to me. I can't make the decision now. All the ideas are in the hands of the minister."

Chen Han is very leisurely now.

It wasn't until he came to ancient times that Chen Han understood that in fact, most of the problems encountered by the people in ancient times were related to land.

As long as you solve the land problem for them, they won't cause trouble for you.

For example, now, every household places the statues of "pirates" and "Japanese pirates" in their homes.

Then they burned incense and chanted Buddha's prayers every day to pray that the pirates and Japanese pirates would come ashore quickly.

Some people even knelt in front of the pirates and pirates' magic cards and chanted.

"Pirate masters, Japanese pirate masters, the Qin family in our city are the bullies among the bullies. They bully the people and rob us of our land.

They even bought our land cheaply when there were floods, causing many of our people to starve to death.

Please also come ashore quickly and deal with them all.

After we deal with them, Lord Budo will give us their land.

Although it is excessive to think so, those lands were once our own and were taken away by them. Please come ashore as soon as possible.

If you come ashore, we will burn incense in the morning and evening to wish you a long life. "

The common people chanted and prayed.

It is estimated that such a ridiculous scene would be difficult to appear even in a story novel.

Although the common people know in their hearts that these Japanese pirates and pirates may not be true.

The people along the coast have experienced too much pain from being plundered by Japanese pirates, and they understand that real Japanese pirates and pirates will not be soft-hearted, but only target those with money.

But who let them come, the people don't care.

They only care about whether they can wipe out all those bully families and then divide their land.

So much so that now those rich people don’t dare to go out.

There is even a phenomenon of common people marking the doorsteps of wealthy people's houses.

Many private theft gangs like to make marks on other people's walls when they try to get ideas.

And now the common people are also secretly keeping notes in the homes of those wealthy people.

As for Chen Han, he has a great time flipping cards every day...
