Chapter 359: Li Jiansheng and Western Factory Tax Collection
After hearing this, Yuan Huai opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to, so he had to knock on the bluestone slab. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a great family of Shangshu, and he wanted to establish two high arches in front of his home. He always felt that in this case, his Yuan family would be unable to raise his head in front of his fellow villagers.
But Yuan Huai naturally did not dare to disobey, and he still knew the right way.
However, because the emperor didn't care about these things, he did not go to the corvee service again, but returned to the mansion and paid the corvee service bank that had not yet been offset by work.
The Yuan family is not short of money at all. If you really want to be decent, you can buy it with money.
Hou Ke, Yang Donglai and other gentry also gave up on the act of taking the initiative to resist the work of officials and gentry, which was not ashamed of their labor, because the emperor said that labor was glorious and scholars were not ashamed of their labor, which made them unable to compromise by taking the initiative to perform labor service, so they gave up the act of resisting the matter of paying food and serving as a member of officials and gentry as a member of the work.
After all, it is really tiring to perform labor service, especially for scholars like them who are not diligent in their four bodies and have to be sliders when they go out.
The students no longer took the initiative to perform corvee labor. They paid corvee labor bank and continued to refer to it honestly, but they really didn't have the courage to give up the exam.
Not long after, the "Tax Payer Glorious House" and "Model House" archways in front of Yuan Mansion were rushed to be built by working overtime.
Because the emperor also asked the people from Xichang to come to Guide to visit here after they arrived, Zhu Zhongpeng, the prefect of Guide, had to ask someone to chisel stones overnight to build the archway.
Yuan Huai felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the archway and kept sighing.
"It was something that the gentry had started in Taizu's dynasty, but now they have to pay food and work together. It is really unexpected. They even advocate that gentry work hard. How can such a reason? Everything is inferior, but they are high in their studies. When did the farmer do what they do and even have to set up a archway. Mr. Yuan, in my opinion, this is a humiliation of the noble mansion. I don't know who gave this idea to His Majesty, which is so vicious!?"
Hou Ke also walked over at this time, glanced at the Yuan family's big archway, and said that, he stood up for the Yuan family.
"I have learned through the Qingke who is following my Dalang that the officials and gentry paid food as a member of the worker was proposed by Yuan Fu today, and it was also proposed by him in Guide Mansion. It was also proposed by him, and this archway was also established because of his words!"
Yuan Huai said, and sighed: "Your Majesty is eager to innovate now, and our Yuanfu caters to his heart and influence the interests of our gentry. Moreover, because the other family is a businessman, he was a Zhejiang businessman in his early years, and later he was a capitalist. Now he has settled in the capital, but he is still a merchant. Moreover, he now participates in the official business, so he refuses to influence the interests of business gentry, but only the advantages of us, the local gentry!"
"Damn the thief! This person's traitor is more than strict! The land and acres of land are divided into acres. These new policies that hurt our national gentry the most were established when he was the chief minister. Now the officials and gentry are here to pay the food together. In order to cater to the emperor, this person has really deprived our national gentry of benefits in a different way. When will the people of our national gentry be able to overthrow the party of the Party for Yuanfu and overthrow the national treasury? Even if Your Majesty still has to make money from the national treasury, then the commercial tax will be reformed, and the commercial tax will be charged, and the national treasury income will be absolutely several times more abundant! Your Majesty is mobilizing the nine-sided army to Liaodong to compete ten times, and it will be worth it!"
Hou Ke couldn't help but scold.
"But now, the business gentry represented by Fang Dang controls the government. Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the Xichang factory who came to Guide, Henan, this time, was also from a business family and was close to Xu Ge Lao in Songjiang. This shows how it is!"
Yuan Huai said.
"well!"
Hou Ke sighed.
...
Zhu Xieyuan and the people from the West Factory arrived at Guide Mansion soon after, and specially summoned officials and gentry to announce the purpose of abolishing the exemption of officials and gentry, and issued a policy to start by combining officials and gentry into the standards for collecting grain according to common people's landlords.
"This is contrary to the ancestral system! This is a harsh government! The ministry's wise appraisal, how can gentry be one with the common people, how can Confucian scholars not treat them politely? Is this a ritual of wise, kindness and kindness!"
However, shortly after Zhu Xieyuan announced the order, radical students Lu Xun and others stood up, raised their arms and shouted, questioning.
Zhu Xieyuan and Xu Guangqi were close to each other, and were valued by Fang Congzhe. He was born in a business gentry. Therefore, he had no emotional or interest disputes with the aristocratic families and the gentry class in Guide Mansion. In order to satisfy the superiors, he also knew that he had to strictly implement the new policy.
Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan immediately ordered Li Biao, the governor of Henan and Ni Yuanlu, who came with him, and said: "Please take down those who make noise and slander the government! Eliminate fame and fortune, please give out the king's flag and behead you immediately!"
"yes!"
Li Song and Ni Yuanlu replied quickly.
So, Lu Xun and other students were dragged down by the Henan Governor Biao Battalion Model, and Ni Yuanlu also took away the square scarf of these students by taking over the soldiers from the yamen.
Lu Xun and others cursed: "Treacherous minister! You must die a good death! You must die a good death!"
Click!
Although these Luxun and others kept cursing, they were still beheaded in the city.
Next, the entire Yuan Family Archway area became quiet again. After the extreme radicals in the gentry class were cut down, no one dared to speak.
Zhu Xieyuan turned a deaf ear to what he called his treacherous minister.
As a former governor of the Five Provinces, he was a soldier and had a decisive mind to kill, so he would not be moved by this.
These days, it is not easy for anyone who joins the Western Factory to mess with them, whether they are civil officials or military generals.
"Now the collection begins, all the civil and military officials in Henan under the governor will cooperate. Let's start with Guide Mansion. Zhu Zhongpeng, the governor of Guide, immediately take the fish scale book and household book of Guide Mansion to the West Factory."
Zhu Xieyuan ordered.
Therefore, the Xichang officially began to collect grain taxes in Guide Prefecture based on the new policy of paying food together with officials and gentry.
The first person to be urged to pay was Yuan Mansion.
"I'm doing evil! I'm doing evil! When did my Yuan family pay such a lot of land taxes?"
Now, Yuan Huai watched the new grain from his Hou family be transported out and started crying.
For Yuan Huai, paying so much grain to the court was indeed a heart-wrenching pain.
Next is the Hou Mansion.
The family of the censor Hou Xun who was killed by the poach was also a large family of bureaucrats in Guide Mansion.
The current head of the Hou Mansion is Hou Ke.
Hou Ke originally wanted to delay, but because of his delay, the West Factory directly surrounded his mansion that night.
"Open the door, the West Factory collects taxes!"
As the shouts of tsunami appeared, He Shixian and Ma Chengen, who were working in the Western Factory, broke in directly.
"Who are you? You dare to break into my Hou family, get out!"
The young Hou Fangyu was so angry that he cursed.
He Shixian directly went over and beheaded Hou Fangyu on the ground, and said, "Does the Hou family want to resist taxes? The head of the family came out quickly and pay the tax!"
"Chaozong! You, you, it was your uncle who harmed you!"
At this time, Hou Ke hurried over because he saw Hou Fangyu being killed, and couldn't help but shout: "Open the warehouse! Give them the food!"
