Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 428
After He Qing left, Zhu Biao thought for a while, he couldn't make too big a step in this matter, he had to do it step by step, otherwise it would be easy to tear the eggs.

Among the officials of the third rank and above in Nanzhili, some of them did not occupy the land. This situation should be viewed separately, and one size fits all.

However, the recovery of the preferential and exemption rights must be implemented. From now on, the people will pay as much as the grain they pay, and there will be no such good things as preferential treatment and a few percent reduction.

This group of veterans.

Although Nanzhili has not found out the land problems in the Huguang area, it does not mean that there will be no problems in the future. This matter must be prevented every year in the future.

Zhu Biao approached Lao Zhu and talked about taking back the preferential immunity of officials above the third rank. After all, officials have a lot of land, and if there is preferential immunity for military exploits and political achievements, it will only be the fuse.

"At the beginning, in order to quell the resistance of the officials, we discussed with you about the privilege of exempting them from grain tax. Now it seems that we were wrong." The ink pen in Emperor Zhu's hand paused and narrowed his eyes. Eye.

You took it yourself, I didn't blame you...Zhu Biao said: "What does dad mean?"

"Don't take back the preferential immunity right now. You have to wait for the crimes in Huguang area to be confirmed, so that you can have a reason to attack the court. At that time, let the officials above the third rank come and ask us to withdraw the preferential immunity right." Emperor Zhu said.

Old Zhu is murderous, Huguang officials cleverly set up a pretense to commit the crime of embezzling land, and by the way, take this opportunity to take back the privileges and exemptions above the third rank.

Zhu Biao can fully imagine the faces of these vegetable gangsters when the privilege of exemption is revoked.

"There was a report from Huguang about encroaching on the land. Coupled with the ambiguity of the thorough land investigation, the matter of buying and selling illegal salt between Huguang and Yangzhou salt merchants has not been resolved.

It's really messy, and it doesn't take us seriously.There are several officials in Nanzhili who bought land secretly by virtue of their privileges and exemptions. We will bear with it. "

Zhu Biao nodded: "We need to solve it one by one, first solve the illegal salt issue, and then find out the occupation of Huguang land by Qiaoli Mingmu, lead the troops to investigate it, and arrest it directly, step by step."

The matter of land and food has never dared to be ambiguous.

"Then let's talk about the private salt first. Who would have thought that the third brother cut down the salt merchant with a knife, and now there is no chance to ask more questions."

Once the salt merchant died, except for the secret letters and certificates of selling private salt with Ryukyu and Huguang, nothing else could be found out.

Ryukyu is now divided into three countries, Shannan, Zhongshan and Shanbei.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu sent Yang Zai, an envoy of Ming Dynasty, to Ryukyu.

It is not clear which Ryukyu country the Yangzhou salt merchants sold the private salt to.It is also necessary to send spies to Ryukyu to investigate.

The location of Ryukyu is good, it is located in the east of Ming Dynasty, and between Kyushu Island and Taiwan Island in Japan, it can be used as a good sea trade transit point.

When the fleet returns, they will receive Ryukyu under Daming's command.In the fifth year of Hongwu, the Zhongshan Kingdom of Ryukyu expressed the hope that Daming could educate them and send them cultural classics and crafts.

Historically, many literati and craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty were regarded as noble people by Ryukyu, and many Fujian people were relocated later.

To win the Ryukyu and belong to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao is bound to win.

Yu Yi quietly looked at the father and son who were talking, and tactfully sorted out the memorials on the imperial case.

There are some things that he shouldn't hear, so he won't hear them.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Zhu talked about Ryukyu, and another thing was about Huguang's occupation of land.

Lao Zhu also clearly said that some officials bought a lot of fertile land privately by taking advantage of their preferential rights, and who did it, who knows.

After the court, these officials chatted with each other, wanting to ask who it was.

Zhongshu Province.

Hu Weiyong said that he was not feeling well, so he left the Yamen early and went home.

Under the grape trellis in the backyard of the Hu family, Hu Weiyong was drinking tea while enjoying the caress of the concubine behind him, very comfortable.

The fertile land His Majesty mentioned today, he has been with His Majesty for many years, so he naturally has the right of exemption, and he can also pay a few percent less money and grain every year.

On the contrary, my unfilial son bought a lot of land in his own name. Although it is under the name of a servant in the mansion, it seems that His Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate all the land because of the problem of the fields in the Huguang area this time.

In the past few days, he wants to let that unfilial son stay at home quietly, and don't always cause him some troubles.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"

Before he took a few sips of a cup of tea, the beautiful woman behind him was already sitting on Hu Weiyong's lap, moving his hands slowly from his shoulders to his chest.

Hu Weiyong's expression was very enjoyable, and when he heard a few shouts, the beautiful woman immediately got up and stood aside.

Hu Weiyong was also taken aback, the tea was knocked over by the beautiful woman, and the tea poured on the robe between his legs, soaking it all up.

The servant who came in to report glanced at the flustered beautiful woman, then at Hu Weiyong, and stared at the wet place with a very sympathetic look.

"What are you shouting, what are you shouting, you are not called Huner like you." Hu Weiyong stood up, put the cup aside, blew his beard and stared: "How many times have I said, don't panic when you do things, calm down, your ears are plugged Donkey hair?"

Hu Weiyong married several concubines, all of whom were beautiful, except for the ones given to Tu Jie and Chen Ning, this one was his favorite.

Occasionally, when there is no one, they will do good deeds in the shade of the trees in the yard. If they are scared to go back in the middle of each time, I am afraid that within a few years, they will have to be like those eggless housekeepers.

"Master, I've made a note." The servant immediately apologized, and then walked to Hu Weiyong's ear and whispered something.

Hu Weiyong frowned, as if there was some hot potato.

Why is it still broad daylight, and ran to my own home.Hu Weiyong repelled the two of them, and walked out in a panic.

"Master, calm down."

"Get out, can I calm down?"

After Hu Weiyong finished cursing, he quickly followed to his study.

I have never even met this group of superb people, and they can come and go freely in his house.

"Hu Weiyong, the crown prince wants to investigate the rights of exemption and land, and the Lord asked me to tell you. Dispose of your son's fields quickly, without leaving any traces."

Hu Weiyong was startled, he didn't expect it to be so fast, thanks to the person in the dark telling him.

"Thank you Your Highness for Hu Weiyong."

"My father said that you owe him a kindness in this matter. He asked someone to delete your family's records in the household department. You should dispose of Tian as soon as possible."

Hu Weiyong nodded: "The crown prince is about to investigate thoroughly, it's too late."

"In time."

Hu Weiyong looked at his old face and felt strange, he really couldn't think of which prince he belonged to.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhu called his sons to have a meal together, and Zhu Biao and Emperor Zhu sat at the top.

Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun, Zhu Di, Zhu Xun, and Zhu Gui sat down in turn.

Zhu Biao: "For the matter of Huguang, I think it's best to send Han Yi there. Jingzhou Mansion can be used as the arrival point."

Emperor Zhu nodded: "That's fine."

"Brother, these officials are treacherous. I think it's not appropriate for Han Yike to be a civil servant." Zhu Yan suggested.

"That's right, brother. I haven't figured out the land matter after so long, why don't I go." Zhu Di said.

"Oh, don't talk about it, it's better for us to go." Zhu Xi said.

"You brats, we don't feel relieved without your elder brother's supervision." Emperor Zhu looked at his sons and said.

Zhu Xi rolled his eyes, he was always looked down upon by his father, alas.Simply turn grief and anger into the power to eat, and start cooking.

"Then I'll go in person." Seeing that his younger brothers were enthusiastically suggesting, Zhu Biao said warmly in his heart.

They are also right, it is best to check the land by yourself.

"Deng Yu, Xu Da, and Feng Sheng are all training soldiers these days. It's too far to go to Jingzhou, so we have to pick a few people for you." Emperor Zhu pondered.

"Father, let's go with elder brother." Zhu Xi and Zhu Di said.

"Second brother, don't go. Qin Wangfei just gave birth to a child, so you can keep it. The capital is far away from Huguang, so go and make a fuss." Zhu Biao said: "I will go with the fourth child."

Zhu Di nodded and smiled.

"Then let Zhao'er accompany you." Old Zhu appointed a man.

"Listen to Dad." Zhu Chen replied, glanced at Zhu Chen, and lowered his head to eat.

Lao Zhu is also happy, his sons can now become Daming's arms.

　Ask for a ticket.
