17. Abandoned village and returning to the people
Both sides had a heated discussion on the new bills they received!
Hong Jing came here and expressed his understanding of Li Jie's attempt to overdraft the palace funds and his straightforward request for exchange of benefits. After all, Li Jie also had to live, and a large number of clan members also counted on the end of each year.
That's just a way of spending money on salary, so we can't really drive people down a dead end.
Li He even unanimously approved it. Li Shangxian was the first to speak up. He himself did not want a conflict between Li He and Hong Jinglai. Now that he had such a great opportunity to ease the relationship between the two parties, it was really a dream.
Even the wily Li Shujiu had to say that this was a good proposal. Why had he let it go before? He was only thinking about how to check and balance or control Hong Jinglai, but he forgot about Jin Pingchun in front of him. You must know that Jin Pingchun had Fengshan Hong's power in Hongjinglai.
His status in Taoist politics is not low, and with the three thousand training soldiers in his hands, he is a big boss.
Anyway, the daughter of Prince Li's family is going to get married. Instead of marrying some random nobleman or other two-class scholar, she might as well give it to a young man like Jin Pingchun.
It will not only allow Jin Pingchun to serve Li Yu more loyally, but also allow Li Yu to better stabilize Jin Pingchun, or in other words, stabilize the military power of training soldiers in Jin Pingchun's hands.
No one who came to power understands the principle of political power coming from the barrel of a gun. Now Hong Jinglai's biggest support for holding power is the more than 10,000 new troops who teach the troops. Especially the cavalry troops who teach the troops.
Stationed outside the palace, he not only controlled the entire city from the center, but also actually intimidated Changgyeonggung, the royal palace.
The horse's hooves are running towards the city, which can suppress the rebellion in the city. If Xiao Xiao runs towards the palace, it is hard to say whether the palace can be stopped by half Li Shangxian's internal guards and half Hong Congjue's fire ban soldiers.
Without waiting for his eldest brother-in-law Hong Xianzhou to return to China, Li Jing immediately asked Hong Jinglai to be the envoy after getting the unanimous consent of the clan loyalists. He asked Jin Pingchundian about his birth date and other information, and informed An.
The clan elders of the Dongjin clan, the Li Wang family, intend to marry their daughter-in-law to Jin Pingchun of the Andongjin clan.
If there was anything the Lao Jin family didn't agree with, they almost jumped up when they heard the news. Even Jin Pingchun was beaming with joy, pretending to be calm and reported his birth date to Hong Jing. Then his clan brother Jin Yichun came on behalf of
The Andong Jin family entered the palace to thank Li? and presented a pair of colorful rings.
This matter is basically done, and the only thing left is to go through the procedures. In a small country like Arimyeong, and the feudal patriarchal order is still quite stable, the whole process will take at least half a year. But now that the marriage has been publicly asked,
Even if the matter is settled, for the sake of the princess' innocence, it is impossible to change people halfway.
Jin Pingshun, the commander-in-chief, is finally decided!
Under such a happy background, many things became much easier to handle. This time, Li Shangxian came forward to take over the handover with Hong Jinglai. Hong Jinglai, in accordance with the palace's requirements, transferred all the rights and interests of the Jiashan Copper Pit to the palace for a price of 700,000 taels.
The remaining 500,000 taels of silver will be delivered by the Xuanhui Department to the Department of Domestic Demand after the autumn harvest tribute rice is transferred to Beijing.
The delivery time must be no later than October 20th of each year, and the money is guaranteed by commercial taxes and over-taxes in and around Hanyang City. If the payment cannot be made, the Department of Domestic Demand can allocate funds from this commercial tax.
Don't underestimate the commercial prosperity of Hanyang, the central town of North Korea. In history, Li Shiying made a huge income of millions of taels of silver in order to rebuild Gyeongbokgung Palace. Of course, the entire Gyeongbokgung Palace project cost eight One million taels of silver, the commercial tax collected in Hanyang was only enough to fund the main hall, and the rest was apportioned to the Eighth Route Army.
The premise of this proposal is naturally that Li? should return the Gongzhuang farmland controlled by the royal family!
There was nothing to say. Li Shangxian immediately stated that it was OK, but it would not be a one-time vacation. So many farming serfs and management personnel above need to be resettled. Hong Jing needs to come and come up with a charter as soon as possible. You can't control the operation, but the people above You have to handle it well to avoid damaging Li?'s reputation.
After all, it's not just three or five people, it's hundreds of thousands or millions of farmers attached to these lands. If one of them makes a mess, things could get serious.
What Li Sangxian said is right. No matter what kind of reforms are carried out in the future, these farmers who suddenly changed their owners need to be appeased at the moment. But nothing bad can happen, otherwise it will be a bad thing done with good intentions.
The two agreed that Hong Jinglai would find Cui Zhengji, who had previously taken over and managed more than 500,000 knots of land, to make a comprehensive plan for this special Gongzhuang land acquisition case. It would first be submitted to everyone in the Fengshan Hong clan for discussion and approval. Later, Zhao Wanyong revised and polished it and finally submitted it to Li Hu.
After Cui Zhengji got this task, he could only work non-stop. Even the collection of autumn canals could only be handed over to Han Que for the time being. Even though Han Que was old and had grandchildren in his arms, but Having worked as a low-level official for decades, his eyes are more poisonous than Cui Zhengji's, and there are no mistakes or omissions under supervision.
Moreover, for such heavy responsibilities, Hong Jinglai tacitly allowed a little extra money to be included in it. Now that it is not possible to significantly increase the wages of the officials, then the officials cannot starve to death at home, and they can only do a little extra money. Let's turn a blind eye for now.
It is said to be a small amount of money, but after all, it is a huge sum of tribute rice worth millions of taels of silver delivered to the capital. That little bit becomes hundreds of millions. Even if it is a tenth, it is enough to make all the officials and servants happy. His eyes were filled with laughter.
He made Lao Hantou look twenty years younger. He would stand at the door of the capital office before dawn, supervising officials at all levels to collect tribute rice and check it. Hong Jinglai didn't have time to take care of it. As a messenger, he We still need to work on the marriage of Jin Pingchun's little brother. Don't trust the people you use, and don't use the people you trust. Old Hantou is also our old partner, and nothing will happen.
Cui Zhengji, the only one who worked hard, made a rough survey of the actual situation of Gongjang Field after conducting inspections in Gyeonggi Province, Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province.
As expected, there is no clean person in the "House of Internal Affairs"!
Those stewards who guard the palaces and fields are basically all very fat, and some have married four or five wives. They are all happy moths attached to King Li, and they have embezzled how much money King Li has. If only these stewards could be taken care of They were all killed, let alone help Hong Jinglai get millions of silver.
Having made up his mind, Cui Zhengji rode back to Beijing and reported to Hong Jinglai the actual situation of the palaces and villages inspected in various places. He also sorted out the contents, drafted it through Zhao Wanyong, and sent a letter directly to the Mingzheng Palace.
Chapter completed!
