Hong Jinglai knew how to handle the affairs of these palaces, deceive the superiors and cover up the inferiors, and enrich his own pockets. How could he not understand this? If he had an advantage, he would not take advantage of the bastard. This was the kind of person he was talking about.

Isn't it like this in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Wu Jinxiao, who managed seven or eight villages for Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, came to Ningguo Mansion to compete with Jia Zhen as soon as the Chinese New Year came. Jia Zhen thought he could get five thousand taels of silver, but Wu Jinxiao

Jinxiao only gave him two thousand five hundred taels, and he asked whether there would be disasters here or there. Anyway, there was no harvest and no money could be paid.

As for the Lai family who are housekeepers in the two mansions, that is even more remarkable. The Jia family has built a grand view garden, and the Lai family has also built a similar garden. Tell me how much oil and water there is in it, and how much these stewards have scraped.

The money comes down.

They only pay 8 to 9 million to King Li every year, and they may end up with 8 to 9 million themselves. Moreover, this is the simplest corruption problem, and other problems are even more exaggerated.

It's like using the name of Wangzhuang to occupy people's land, occupy the public land of local officials, and then use part of it as palace farmland, and put the rest into their own pockets. This is a common bad thing.

.

At the local level, because they managed the palaces, villages and fields and the local officials were unable to manage and suppress these officials, they became increasingly lawless, even to the point of interrupting official business and setting up private prisons. Those officials sent by the Hanyang imperial court originally had

Many of them are bastards who don't know how to handle official business. They just spend money or find ways to make money in the local area. The two parties hit it off immediately.

By the way, they colluded with two groups of local wealthy and powerful people to jointly oppress the local people. They worked together to embezzle all the good people who paid taxes and served the country, turning them into their own slaves and destroying the country's tax base.

They are all helpers, and sooner or later they will be sent to heaven one by one by Hong Jinglai!

Originally, they could rely on King Li's power to dominate the local area, but now, for the cash of 1.2 million taels of silver every year, Li kicked them out and lost them.

Hong Jinglai wanted to take advantage of such a huge political umbrella as King Li, but it was just like playing tricks on them.

As for what incited the serfs on the land to rebel? They deserve it!

Hong Jinglai was sure that they didn't have the guts. If they had the guts, they would have become masters a long time ago and let them live in the countryside. After embezzling hundreds of millions of Wang Li's family property, they would be punished.

Mental preparation to eat meat to death.

As a result, before Hong Jinglai started to clean up the stewards of these Gongzhuang fields, Li? took action first. Anyway, he had already got the grains of Gongzhuang this year, and he did not need to take care of the production and distribution next year. The abandoned village was returned to the people.

, it’s all left to Hong Jing to take care of, so why not take the opportunity to make another windfall?

Do you really think that King Li is a fool? Is he an innocent kid who doesn’t know human affairs? King Li knows this in his heart. In the past, they wanted to use you to manage the palace and have someone to rely on. That’s why these people were attached to the royal family to suck blood. Now there is no need.

If these people are already here, why don't they just kick them away immediately?

Confiscating a house or something like that is really the most enjoyable part!

As the left prime minister, Li Shangxian personally arranged the arrangement, assigned officers and soldiers, divided into teams of a hundred, and divided out more than 30 teams of troops, and arranged almost all the counties near Hanyang with palaces and farms. The plains in the Han River Basin are fertile.

, the palace is naturally rich. If you copy everything accurately, there will be no clean stewards.

Which one is not a wealthy person with a family fortune of over ten thousand, and the worst can have a fortune of several thousand. Forget about the house, land, etc., they will all be handed over to Hong Jinglai, food, cash, etc., then I'm sorry, Li Sangxian wants all of it?

Moved into the Department of Domestic Demand. As for the fact that Lee Sang-hyun received some hard-earned compensation, I won’t mention it.

Even Jin Pingchun's men and horses were mobilized. If it hadn't been for Li?'s move to mobilize Jin Pingchun, Hong Jinglai would not have known that Li?

But the three thousand training soldiers of Jin Pingchun, the younger brother, were assigned to him by Hong Jinglai. Although he could also mobilize them, as Hong Jinglai's younger brother, he habitually reported to Hong Jinglai first.

No wonder the Han brothers came to Hong Jinglai early in the morning to tell Hong Jinglai that Li Shangxian had led his army out of the city. It turned out that he was going to make a fortune. How tricky!

Since Li?

Go north and raid all the palaces on Huanghaidao.

As for Ping'an Road and Xianjing Road, Hong Jingfu and Hong Youji, brothers of the same clan, are serving as supervisors. There is no need for Hong Jinglai to send people there and directly order them to take action. The only thing is that they are not allowed to infringe on the palace farm.

The lives and farm tools and property of those tenant farmers will still need to be cultivated in the future.

Sure enough, nothing can be done faster than ransacking homes to make money. No wonder those male protagonists in historical novels ransack homes first when they ran out of money. Robbing is the fastest way to make money. There is nothing fake about it, and all you get is real money.

As for valuable property, it can be sold at a local price or distributed to local tenant farmers.

Hong Jinglai didn't bother to care about the three melons and two dates, as long as the bulk could go into the official warehouse of Xuanhui Hall. In addition, supplies such as cattle and farm tools were counted and listed in a book, and they would need to be distributed soon.

Farmers on the land use it to ensure they can continue agricultural production next year.

The imperial court had little reaction to Li Yu and Hong Jing's coming and going to get these stewards, but there was quite a violent reaction to the letter "Returning the abandoned village to the people, and paying the public registration to the public", which stated that all tenant serfs should be released as good citizens.

Many scholars suddenly began to praise Li?s benevolence and love for the people, voluntarily giving up so many palaces, and turning the people into good people. As for Cui Zhengji, who proposed this petition, his identity as the younger brother from Hong Jing suddenly changed.

He became a good official who served the country loyally and asked for orders for the people.

Sure enough, although scholars and Confucian scholars may not be very good at what they do, as long as their rights are not infringed, they are still happy to praise the good governance of this feudal country. It only takes a few words to flatter Li?

All the big guys who show their favor to Fengshan Hong's powerful politics, why not do it.

As for those palace stewards whose homes were confiscated and even lost their lives, they were just slaves of Prince Li's family. If they die, they will die, so what. No one cares about these people at all. Li Yu and Hong Jinglai shared the money.
