Chapter sixty-one

Defeat the Garden, the Pine Wind Hall in the Ten Thousand Valleys.

Mr. Xu was helped by his son and sat down. After drinking tea, he sighed for a long time: "These two are going to break the foundation of my Xu family."

"Yes, father." Xu Ying said deeply: "Once the method of equalizing the land and equalizing the grain is implemented, those who devote their official land to our family will definitely feel that it is not worth it."

"The key is still in the 'one whip method'." Xu Fan saw it more clearly than him, and said gloomy: "Songjiang Mansion will soon compile the 'Tiger Head and Rat Tail Book'. At that time, whether it is carrying the fields for our family or working as slaves for our family, I am afraid that they will feel like they are losing money."

"That's natural. If anyone has more fields in his name, he must be on the tiger's head. Not only will he pay more silver in the silver, he must pay more silver in the tax. " Xu Ying nodded and said:

"Those slaves do not need to serve the government according to the new law, so why should they give us filial piety? They must also want to leave their posts and draw a clear line with us."

"Father, what should we do?" Xu Fan was really panicked and his voice trembled. Although he had experienced many things, he was always on the premise that his father could block the wind and rain. Now he was about to lose sight of his father. Xu Fan's weak nature was finally exposed.

"Oh..." Mr. Xu closed his eyes, frowned and thought hard. Although he had experienced a situation that was more dangerous than this, he had experienced many times. But he was old, his head was not as bright as before, and he was no longer in power.

If I really don’t have that condition, I will deal with it easily...

Both of the two prodigal sons held their breath, for fear of disturbing their father's hard thoughts.

The needles fell from the Wanhe Songfeng Hall for a moment.

Xu Jie understood that although Hai Rui’s new policy for Yingtian was not designed specifically for him, all the pressure came to him.

First of all, he is the largest landlord in Jiangnan, and all the wealthy families and wealthy families are looking at whether he can withstand it.

Moreover, Lin Run's case was pressed on his head... Hai Rui was destined to use the Xu family to attack.

Now that I think about it, Hai Rui was crazy about Suzhou before the New Year, it was actually to clear the obstacles of the show after the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, he used these two new policies to make the Xu family and the vast Songjiang elders confront each other, achieving the goal of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

"The Hai Zhongcheng has such a painstaking layout, and he must be thunderous when he takes action..." Mr. Xu suddenly laughed at himself: "I don't know if my old arms and legs can withstand it."

"Yes, of course!" the two sons hurriedly said, "Father must hold it!"

"Hmph..." Xu Jie glanced at the two of them coldly, regretting that he had borne this trick.

"Father, we can't sit still and wait for death. We must save ourselves quickly!" Xu Fan didn't care about his father's disgusted eyes.

"Arranging another killer and kill Hai Rui too?" Xu Jie sarcastically.

"Uh..." Even Xu Ying knew that this was impossible. If the governor who came to handle the Lin Run case had another fault, the court would directly send a large army to destroy the Xu family.

"For the sake of the present, there is only one word "tolerance". " Everyone has a path dependence. When Mr. Xu reaches a critical moment, he will still take out his "turtle magical skill" that he has been in the box.

"Hai Rui wants to punish us, so he will let him do it. If he wants to withdraw the land, we will refund. If he wants to collect more taxes, we will pay." Mr. Xu obviously figured it out, and he said calmly: "He can't always pick up hair on me, this sheep, right? He will have to go to trouble others sooner or later. If he gets angry at the time, then someone will naturally deal with him. As long as we keep the green mountains, we will not have to worry about burning firewood in the future."

"Ah..." Xu Fan and Xu Ying thought to themselves, isn't this a surrender? Both of them are the ones who are not surrender, so they are so frustrated.

"What?" Xu Jie looked at the two dead children coldly and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to come forward for the next thing, I will come in person."

"Father, then what are we doing?" Xu Fan and Xu Ying asked hurriedly.

"Confinement." Xu Jie ordered Xu Da in a deep voice: "From today, they will live in Tuisi Garden. They are not allowed to go out, so as not to let the government make excuses to take it, and it will be difficult at that time."

"Father, it's fine to let the third brother be confined!" Xu Fan said in shock: "When the storm is in such a turbulent situation, my son must contribute to the family!"

"You go and tell the government clearly that people are from the third party, so it has nothing to do with you?" Xu Jie's stolen ability was really top-notch.

"My son understand." Xu Fan lowered his head in frustration and pulled Xu Ying, who was trying to say something, and retreated.

Looking at the figures of two fools and disappearing at the door of the hall, Xu Jie's face was also full of depression.

He regretted it. He really should have had a good talk with Lin Run...at least he was sure that Lin Run would reach a compromise.

Now, I changed the mind of Hai Gangfeng.

He was no longer sure that he could keep his life's wisdom, let alone family property and son...

I can only do my best and leave my destiny.

Almost at the same time, the people of Songjiang also saw the announcement from the prefect's office.

They spent a day learning from others what the "one whip method" and "equal land and grain" do.

Another day passed, those who had previously taken advantage of loopholes realized that they had lost a lot according to the new policy.

Those people spent another day muttering, but after some ideological struggle, they could no longer sit still.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the families who were behind the Xu family made an appointment to come to the Xu Mansion in Nanchan Temple with gifts, begging the men to take the land back.

Because as soon as the first month of the year comes, the yamen will compile the book of tiger heads and rat tails.

The majority of these relatives and servants who later defected to the Xu family to change their surnames carried tens of thousands of acres of land, and the few were even thousands of acres. If one of them was designated, they would be included in the Tiger Head Book.

It’s like your relative who borrows 10 million yuan in your name. Whenever there is a turmoil, are you panic?

But the old man and the third master are not here, and the people in charge can't make the decision.

What, second master? Hey, there is another second master in the mansion?

Xu Jie had three brothers, including Xu Zhi, but they had no right to decide what happened in the mansion.

So Xu Er and a few managers came forward to comfort him, and at the same time went to Tui Siyuan for instructions. After returning, he promised them that even if they were included in the Tiger Head Book, they would still be exempted.

But those families did not believe it because the prefect's office made a statement that this time, they would strictly follow the regulations and give the Xu family a maximum of 6,000 acres of exemption.

And they carried dozens or hundreds of times the number of land acres. Even if the Xu family gave them all their shares, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Of course, no one would be sent back so easily, and he still tried to return the field to the master.

The managers were in a state of great difficulty, and a large group of people came over there. But they were not going to withdraw the fields, but wanted to return the fields they had given...
