Chapter 404: Strength Order
The rent-in-law regime was called a good government at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty because each household only paid two stones of grain as rent, two feet of silk as cotton as the adjustment every year, and two feet of silk as the adjustment, and two days of service were mediocre. However, this is based on the equal-land system of 100 mu of land from the day of becoming a dynasty, but it has nothing to do with the amount of property. With the corruption of the equal-land system, the people had almost no land to be given when they became a dynasty, but the rent-in-law regime was still collected. What's even worse is that in addition to rent-in-law regime, there are still land taxes and household taxes collected, while the fugitives took advantage of the opportunity to receive the dynasty and exempt them from the dynasty, and the fugitives took advantage of the opportunity to receive responsibilities and dismiss the dynasty, which led to the number of fugitives in the world.
However, in order to avoid the number of households fleeing, officials in various prefectures and counties often conceal and do not report it. They still use the previous amount to collect rent, mediocre household tax and local tax, and spread the share of the fugitives to the rest of the mouth, which constantly forces more people to escape, and eventually formed a vicious cycle. This is also the biggest reason why Yuwen Rong proposed that the land and households were deeply loved by the emperor.
Therefore, the four major cities in Chengdu did not really dislike their customers. They were all powerful people with tens of thousands of acres of land in Chengdu. The influx of large number of customers brought them more cheap tenants and countless servants. On the contrary, the households who moved with the presidency were the targets they were really wary of. In addition, the fields they built had already reached a considerable scale and were worth a lot to attract their coveted customers.
So, after a few days ago, he met Du Shiyi with the heads of the other three families, but after coming out, he met Yang Shu and Xian Yu Zhongtong, Li Tianluo immediately instructed his family to send a piece of paper to the Chengdu County Party Committee, but sued the county's newly registered customers, Peng Hai, Sun Nian, Zhou Jia and thirteen families, including Peng Hai, Sun Nian, Zhou Jia, and occupied 800 acres of their own mountain land.
When the case was filed, the county magistrate Yu Ling wanted to laugh at it and pretended not to come out of illness. Wang Ming, a county magistrate who was also a Jinshi, was also worried about being humiliated by Yu Wenrong, and used his ankle to avoid Qingjing. Even if the chief clerk Gui Wujiu and the county magistrate Wu Zhiming really wanted to avoid this problem, it was too late.
It’s still less than half a month since Du Shiyi took office, all the officials gave up together?
So, the two had to bite the bullet and wait for Du Shiyi to assign the distribution. They retrieved the list of escaped households that they had collected when they were collecting households before, and went to search the land book that was unknown many years ago, and they were busy.
After such a case was hotly discussed in the streets and alleys of Chengdu for a long time, a notice was posted at the entrance of the Chengdu County Party Committee. The meaning of the notice was straightforward and simple, with only one central meaning - Du Ming's mansion reported to the people of all regions. If the Li family and the customer in Shu County were fighting for land, the trial will be held in the Dongcao Pavilion in the disputed land in three days. Those who are interested can be present at the scene to listen.
"Not to try the case in the county party committee? This is a big new thing. I don't know how many people will go to watch the fun at that time."
"What's new about this? I heard that when Du Ming's mansion was an official in Chang'an, he tried the case of the slaves of Lantian County's lord oppressing the people. At that time, he was also selected to listen."
"Huh? Brother, this is so well-informed? What's the final result?"
"Hey, all the slaves who oppressed good and good were punished and were punished. I heard that even the Lord of Lantian was criticized. Later, wasn't there anyone in Chang'an who was rebellious? I heard that the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to arrest many people, but the Du Ming Mansion came forward to appease him and finally killed the chief evil. Most of the others were exempted. Du Ming Mansion is a good official with a kind heart."
Also caught off guard was Li Tianluo. Although Du Shiyi had only had a deal once, he had a reputation, so he would not hope that the other party would favor him. What's more, he was not Cui Dan, who turned against him, and he had never agreed to the other party's proposal to build water conservancy. If he hadn't heard that those poor mud-legged men learned that the new county magistrate of this county was the famous Du Shijiulang and wanted to join forces to file a lawsuit with the yamen, he would not have taken the initiative first. Moreover, if he couldn't take advantage of Du Shiyi's first time, he wouldn't have caused any trouble if he dragged on him while he was just a little bit dark.
"People come, tell me to see the mud legs, especially not let them approach the county party committee, what kind of trouble will happen?"
"Don't worry, the important place of the county party committee is where they can get close to? Not to mention anything else, there are many people in the county party committee who either watch the fun or are dissatisfied. Otherwise, Yu Shaofu and Wang Shaofu would not have been sick together."
Li Tianluo couldn't help but smile when he heard the servant's intentional answer. Although Du Shiyi is famous in Chang'an, the capital, but the family is helpful, and there are prime ministers and officials like Gan Yao and Song Jing, so he has such a momentum. Now he is not familiar with Chengdu. If he still wants to be as strong as before, he is not an unprepared person who can only let your strengths be strong, and he has to lie down.
Thinking of this, he ordered: "You go to the Wu family and Luo family to send a post, and you say I ask them to discuss something important."
On this side, Li Tianluo sent someone to invite the heads of the Wu family and Luo family, but he deliberately left Cui Dan, but Cui Dan, who was thrown to the side of the side, was not stupid. After clearly expressing his statement that day, he saw that the case became the focus of attention. After several days of investigation, he took his eldest grandson Cui He to the county party committee for a visit.
What made him very happy and excited was that Du Shiyi did not see him in the two halls before, and the follower who led the way actually brought him directly to the study. While waiting for a moment to enter the door, he quickly glanced at the furnishings in the house, but he only saw that it was completely different from the time when his former county magistrate Zheng Faling was there.
At that time, the study was exquisite and exquisite, revealing the luxury of aristocratic families, but now it is simple and unpretentious. Even the pen holder and pen holder on Du Shiyi's desk were made of bamboo, and the four-sided rolled jars were all white porcelain without any patterns. At first glance, it looked so simple that it was unreasonable. At this moment, not only did he look a little dazzled, but Cui He behind him was also very curious and surprised.
Even though the county government is not a private house, there are several calligraphy and paintings of famous masters collected by my grandfather in his study. The furnishings are not the best, but the most expensive. Du Shiyi is clearly rich and noble, so why does he do the opposite?
If Du Shiyi didn't say it, they naturally didn't dare to ask more. After sitting down, Cui Dan smiled and said: "I thought about the cofferdam and cannon that Du Mingfu mentioned before. After returning, I thought about it for several days. I was really ashamed of the short-sightedness of the past. Such a good thing that has been awesome in Chengdu, I am considered to be well-known in Chengdu. How can I fall behind? I decided to pay a thousand stagnation of capital."
"As long as Cui Weng is so kind, I thank you for your impotence for the people under Chengdu County." Du Shiyi couldn't help but smile when he heard Cui Dan's gritting teeth and spitting out these thousand guans. One thousand guan is one million yuan, which is already a lot. Cui Dan brought Changsun to come, and his intention was obvious. He nodded slightly and looked at the 17 or 18-year-old young man, and said with a smile, "Is this the Changsun?"
"Yes. He studied since childhood. He not only worked hard, but also had good talent. Now he is well-versed in classics and history, and his poetry is also acceptable. When I go to see people everywhere, most of them will take him with me and want to see him."
This is simply nonsense. When did he always come out to meet guests with his grandfather?
Cui He was so amused and crying, but when his grandfather turned to look at him with a stern look, he had to say with some depression: "Although I am aware of classics and history, especially the Three Genealogies of the Spring and Autumn Period, I am not very good at the test of poetry and essays."
Seeing that Changsun did not say the most important words for advice, Cui Dan was immediately anxious. But just when he was so angry that he could not stop, he heard Du Shiyi coughing gently, and then asked a question that made him worried: "The next generation, the two politics, the couple, and the foundation of chaos. What book does this come from the Spring and Autumn Period, and what year does it take?"
Cui He replied without hesitation: "From the 18th biography, the 18th year of Duke Huan, Duke Zhou wanted to kill King Zhuang and establish Prince Ke, so Xin Bo made such advice."
Although Du Shiyi was just a simple test of memory this time, he could answer immediately after asking Cui He casually. The most familiar story of the Three Genealogies of Spring and Autumn was obviously not just talking. Therefore, he nodded with satisfaction and randomly selected five or six other items. Seeing that Cui He was mostly answering, only one of them came from the corner and thought for a while, and finally answered.
On the whim, he simply took the answers to the meaning of the classics in "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites", and finally he praised: "Okay, as you said, I am most familiar with the Three Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, this is no longer a rough understanding of the classics and history, but it is quite familiar with the classics and history. As for poetry and essays, I will not take the exam now. Cui Weng had Changsun and was eager to learn and make progress. If this is the case, it should not be underestimated."
He could memorize all the three Chinese versions of the Spring and Autumn Period of hundreds of thousands of words. Cui Jianxuan also lost his grandmother and father one after another and worked hard to do so. How could Cui He not be a studious person?
When Changsun was praised by Du Shiyi, Cui Dan was so excited that his face shone with glitter, and his gray beard trembled. Cui He himself was more controllable, but he just bowed respectfully and said he didn't dare. When he tried to see if Changsun could enter the county school, what made him even more relieved was that Du Shiyi actually agreed.
"With his qualifications, he will naturally be among the best ones at that time."
Cui Dan came today, hoping that if Du Shiyi was not impressed, he would sell out a few more news about Li Tianluo in addition to donating a thousand chunks of money, but who would have thought that Du Shiyi seemed to have really loved his grandson.
As a result, he thought that the heads of the three families had met frequently in recent days, and only left him alone, and simply sold them more thoroughly. He carefully told the story of Li Tianluo's visit to the heads of the two members of the Luo family when he went out. He continued with a diligent expression: "The 800 acres of land that Li Tianluo reported to him, I am the one who knows the most. This is not the land of the Li family at all..."
Watching his grandfather explain the whole story to Du Shiyizi, Cui He couldn't help but look at the books on the bookshelf on the four walls while no one paid attention to him. The thread-bound books that had only been implemented for one or two years in Chengdu, there were many ones in one here, but there were only two scrolls, and the scrolls that should have been piled up on the bookshelf were rare. As expected, such rumors were just like that, the thread-bound books were first promoted by Du Shijiulang. Just when he was distracted, he suddenly heard his grandfather call out loud.
