Chapter 303: Dividing profits with the people and dividing profits with the officials

Gong begets enlightenment, integrity begets prestige.

Under the familiar gold-painted plaque with a black background, Li Xuan sat on the magistrate's seat, looking at the people in the courtroom with rare gentle eyes.

Dongyang County's Prime Minister Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao, Si Bing, Si Cang, Si Gong, and Si Shi joined the army, the county school taught edicts, and offered wine. Everyone stood respectfully under him, with a hint of joy on their faces.

The other arresting officers were standing in the middle of the courtyard under the court hall, all with beams of joy on their faces.

Three boxes were placed on the table in the courtroom, and Li Xuan's eyes kept moving on these three boxes.

The official seal of the governor of Wuzhou, the official seal of Wuzhou Biejia, and the official seal of the Dongyang County magistrate.

"Since the day before yesterday, for two days and two nights, you all have worked hard." Li Xuan raised her head with emotion, with a mixture of emotions on her face.

This time he managed to seize the gap in the Tianyin Sect's activities, and immediately destroyed almost all their arrangements in Dongyang.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work." Everyone present saluted Li Xuan at the same time.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have already taken note of what happened this time. When the Tianyin Sect incident is over, I will definitely report it to Zhongshu Club to ask for credit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" County Magistrate Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao and others handed over their hands and were overjoyed at the same time.

The reason why they worked so hard to assist Li Xuan in Dongyang is that, in addition to the fact that once the Tianyin Sect rebellion occurs, it will be extremely detrimental to them, assisting Li Xuan to put down the chaos before it occurs can also bring them a lot of benefits.

meritorious deeds.

Especially for Gu Tan, as long as Li Xuan reports everything in front of him, whether it is his position as a special commander in Wuzhou or Li Xuan's status as the county king...

Or maybe he is the grandson-in-law of the then left prime minister Liu Rengui, which is enough to ensure that Gu Tan can firmly take the position of county magistrate.

As Gu Tan walked up, everyone present had the opportunity to walk forward.

"The crisis in Dongyang is half over." Li Xuan looked at Gu Tan and said with a smile: "Gu County Cheng, after you go back, I will temporarily give you some small benefits. The Liu family's house was confiscated, and I directly intervened to save you all from making a fortune.

This opportunity, let Gu Xian Cheng make up for it for the time being. After this summer harvest is completely over, Gu Xian Cheng will write a detailed book on how to reward, and I will approve as much as I can."

When Li Xuan presented a report to the court, only Gu Tan, Kang Yao and others could be put before the eyes of the court officials. Even the only ones he could write about were Gu Tan and others. He didn't even know the others.

Therefore, for the more Dongyang officials present, this report by Gu Xiancheng is the most realistic.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The joy on the faces of everyone present became even heavier.

"But!" Li Xuan looked solemn, then looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's talk about business now. Lieutenant Kang County."

"Your Majesty is here!" Kang Yao immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"After yesterday, how many followers of Tianyin Sect are there in Dongyang?" Li Xuan leaned forward slightly with cold eyes.

He wanted to know whether, after two days of intrigue and fighting, the Tianyin Sect had been completely exterminated in Dongyang.

"Reporting to the prince, yesterday after Caishikou, the lower officials arrested a total of thirty-six Tianyin believers. Only the others all abandoned the Tianyin goddess stone carvings, statues, paintings and other objects at home. Today, in Dongyang, except

There are no other Tianyin thieves in prison." Kang Yao's face showed awe-inspiring expressions.

Li Xuan's heart-killing method is indeed cruel. Today, there is almost no trace of any Tianyin cultist on the streets.

Even now, whenever a Tianyin believer appears, he will immediately be chased and beaten by those who abandoned the belief in Tianyin Goddess.

Even Kang Yao had never thought of this situation before, and he shuddered every time he thought of this scene.

Hearing Kang Yaoru's description, Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said, "I never thought it would be like this."

At this word, everyone in the crowd had different expressions.

In today's world, Taoism is the most prominent religion.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Five Husties in China, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Taoism became the largest religion in the world. Over the years, I don’t know how many evil ways I have dealt with, and I don’t know how many beliefs I have destroyed.

It considers the human heart to the extreme.

Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, is not like other royal families who just have a name in the Taoist sect, but has actually become a disciple of the Taoist sect.

Obtained the orthodox Taoist inheritance.

At least everyone has seen the Taoist methods of cutting down mountains and destroying temples and prohibiting obscene worship.

No one dares to bow down.

For a moment, the entire court fell into complete silence.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Let's do it this way. Starting from the afternoon, people can enter and leave the county at will without any restrictions. Tell the village heads and village chiefs of each village and town that the inheritance of all kinds of Tianyin goddesses will be banned from tomorrow. Hu arrests

Boss, your people, follow them to the countryside, don't let those village leaders bully the people."

"Follow the order." Hu Ji immediately stepped forward and respectfully agreed.

"What's left is to completely block all the passages inside and outside the Shangxi Gold Mine. No one is allowed to go up the mountain. Anyone who comes down from the mountain will be immediately arrested and imprisoned. If there is resistance, they will be shot immediately. The inside and outside will be cut off.

All the news." Li Xuan's eyes turned to Xi Ying, with a different meaning in her eyes.

Xi Ying, the commander of the army, immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the order."

"The affairs of the Tianyin Sect are over for the time being." Li Xuan turned to look at Gu Tan on one side and said in a deep voice: "Gu Xian Cheng."

"Your Majesty is here." Gu Tan took a step forward with a respectful look on his face.

"I have issued an order yesterday, asking households with more than 500 acres in Dongyang to report all changes in their property in the past two years. Has it been completed?" Li Xuan's face began to turn cold.

He made so many movements in the Tianyin teaching time just for this year's summer harvest, and the basis of the summer harvest is the white book and the yellow book.

If at any other time, there had been such a big problem with the white and yellow books, the entire county government would have been wiped out.

But now that Tianyin Sect is taking the blame, the price those people in the county government have to pay is much less.

If the matter of the white book and the yellow book is not handled properly, then don't blame Li Xuan for being ruthless.

Gu Tan cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the prince, after reporting the Tianyin Sect incident yesterday, the Dongyang Family revealed a large amount of evidence that the Liu family had embezzled land and property. After the incident at Chashikou, the Dongyang Family took the initiative to hand over all the property belonging to the family in the past three years.

The copy of the loan deed is now compared with the old documents kept by the county government three years ago, and everything is clear."

"That's good." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes fell on the dozen boxes placed on the side of the court, and he said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years or so, the Liu family has acquired everything in Dongyang.

All the land is here."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone present immediately looked at the pile of boxes with green eyes.

You know, there are more than 20% of Dongyang's farmland there. The amount is so large that it makes many people jealous.

"Ahem!" Li Xuan coughed, drawing everyone's attention back, and then he continued: "Part of this is to be returned to the ordinary people who over-loaned the Liu family, as long as they repay the loan amount

They can get the land back with the capital, but after taking it back, they will have to pay the summer tax on this part of the land this year."

As soon as Li Xuan mentioned this year's summer tax, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became serious.

In fact, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Li Xuan's return of the land to the people according to the cost, because this would reduce their chances of profiting from it. However, when Li Xuan mentioned the summer tax, everyone immediately woke up.

The common people had to pay twice at once. Although the subsequent harvest of the fields could offset part of it, there would also be opportunities for Dongyang officials to get involved.

"If Gu County Cheng's words are meaningless, he will issue a list later and implement accordingly." Li Xuan leaned back slightly and looked at Gu Tan questioningly.

Gu Tan immediately handed over his hand and said: "There is no point in lowering the official position. Everything should be done according to the orders of the superior official."

Li Xuan was immediately satisfied when he heard the word Shangguan.

Gu Tan's meaning is very clear. This is the matter of the Wuzhou Dongyang two-level government offices themselves and has nothing to do with the King of Nanchang.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a serious face: "The most important thing at the moment is this year's summer harvest. Although the Tianyin Sect's affairs have come to an end in Dongyang for the time being, they are still there in the outside world. Once they are

Counterattacks must be ruthless. If someone treats the people harshly and gives the Tianyin Sect an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, then don’t blame me for treating them as Tianyin rebels."

Li Xuan's last words were very cold.

With one sentence, everyone present suddenly became awe-inspiring. At the same time, they raised their hands and said: "I obey the order!"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded, then his eyes fell on the boxes again, and said in a deep voice: "Except for those returned to the people, some of the rest will be returned to the county treasury as next year's Yongye and Kou farmland allocation.

Some of them have to be classified into prefectures and have their own divisions, and finally some have to be handed over to the central government, the Ministry of Revenue, the Shangshu Province, and to Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, all of whom must be accounted for."

"I will obey the prince's arrangements." When Li Xuan said this, the last thoughts in everyone's minds were completely destroyed.

They may indeed be able to benefit from it, but don't forget that there are state governments above that are watching covetously.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance need to be managed.

The most important ones are the saints and the queen of heaven.

If one detail is not handled properly, they will be the ones who have their homes confiscated and their families wiped out.

They have experienced this kind of thing the most, so they naturally know how sophisticated Li Xuan's approach is.

They were completely impressed by Li Xuan's handling of the matter.

"In the end, there is still a part of the deed loans released by the Liu family this year. The treatment is the same as before. For those below thirty guan, people only need to repay the principal to get the deed loan back. For those above 30 guan, Dongyang County

Some interest can be collected appropriately, and the power to dispose of more than one hundred guan belongs to the state government. If it makes no sense to you, Gu County Cheng, please publish the list according to this!"

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, the county magistrate had not said anything. At this time, a figure stood up.

An elderly man in green clothes who was nearly sixty years old with a gray beard stood up, stood beside Gu Tan, and looked at Li Xuan with fierce eyes: "Since the prince wants to be a good person, why not do the good deeds to the end and put all these things into practice?"

All deeds and loans are cancelled, so that the people can achieve maximum benefits."

Li Xuan sat up straight and tapped the fingers of her right hand gently on the table.
