Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 513: Oppressed by the wealthy family!

But hearing that this was actually found in Liu Ying's house, Liu's first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible.

It's just that before these words were uttered, Mrs. Liu suddenly came to her senses, stopped her mouth quickly, and echoed Yuan Shao and said, "In this way, this person really deserves to be killed."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was also a little surprised that Liu Shi would change the direction of the wind so quickly.

But after all, it is my long-time wife, so I can use this doll to warn her and let her know that she doesn't have to go too far in doing things on weekdays.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Yuan Shao doesn't want to continue to be entangled in Liu Ying's matter.

To be honest, when Yuan Shao killed Liu Ying, on the one hand, it was because the Liu family made a big disturbance in the execution ground, and he put himself there and couldn't get down.

But on the other hand, those bastard things that Liu Ying did in Ji town really deserve to be killed.

So Yuan Shao simply pushed the boat along with the current, and cut everything down with one blow.

Now only Liu's is left unresolved, but just in time, Yuan Tan sent this witch doll over, which gave Yuan Shao an excellent reason.

Anyway, Liu Ying's accusation of being a witch and curse master is just an extra death penalty.

But keeping a handle of the Liu family in his hand can make his inner house much more secure.

Yuan Shao immediately put away the doll, and said calmly: "Lord Yuezhang has often said recently that he is busy with general affairs, and he can't hold on anymore. Why don't you go to court, be a honorable honorer, and have a good rest."

The position of Guang Luxun was considered a pretty good official position in the early and middle period of the Han Dynasty, with a high position and weight.

But now, this official position is really only left with nobles, and all the powers in the court are controlled by Yuan Shao's hegemony.

But at this moment, Mrs. Liu has no intention of arguing with Yuan Shao anymore, and her mind is already in a mess. After realizing that Yuan Shao was not targeting her, Mrs. Liu who calmed down instantly thought of the Liu family she was from.

The son of the Liu family, who is still a legitimate son, has been exposed to the art of witchcraft, and even used the witchcraft curse to kill the lord's concubine.

Even if it wasn't for killing the lord with a curse, this operation alone was enough to wipe out the Liu family.

So for a while, he didn't hear Yuan Shao's words clearly, and subconsciously let out an "ah".

Yuan Shao frowned, and after repeating his words, Liu Shi finally came back to it.

The so-called letting his father take over as Guang Luxun is nothing more than Yuan Shao no longer wants to see the Liu family in the Bafu, and wants to transfer these "foreign relatives" away from the central core of the imperial court.

This official position of Guang Luxun is nothing more than a signal to the outside world, that is, the Yuan and Liu families are still one, but the Liu family can only enjoy the honor attached to the Yuan family.

But if you want power, don't even think about it.

If it had been put before, the narrow-minded Liu would definitely be making a fuss by now.

But with Liu Ying's statement, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Anyway, the handwriting on the Witch Gu doll, in Liu's view, is indeed Liu Ying's own writing is correct.

Even if Mrs. Liu wanted to fight for the family, she was powerless, so she nodded: "Everything is based on the opinion of my husband."

……

If Yuan Tan knew that the witchcraft doll that he asked Xu Shu to prepare so hard, ended up being a tool used by his father to beat his relatives, frighten the officials, and stabilize the inner house.

However, Liu Ying, who was originally planning to deal with him, died in the hands of the cheap father because of the backer he relied on to mess around together, and finally died in vain.

It is estimated that Yuan Tan will be speechless for a long time.

But even so, Yuan Tan at this moment is still in a state of helplessness, mixed with a bit of anger, which has lasted for nearly half a day.

There is no other reason.

At this very moment, in the general's mansion of Jizhen, three school captains of the Jizhen camp were telling Yuan Tan the whole story of the invasion of the land in Jizhen by the four powerful families.

This is the classic plot of the wealthy family in this era. It is nothing more than taking a fancy to a piece of land of a certain family, and then using various means, such as when paying taxes this year, deliberately adding a few miscellaneous taxes, or not collecting them. Grain needs to be collected in silk cloth.

Anyway, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty has always kept the imperial power from going to the countryside. How much tax to collect and how to pay it are all decided by the three elders in the countryside.

And who are the three elders?Naturally, they are members of the four powerful families in Ji Town!

Not to mention a disaster year, it is an ordinary year. When it comes to paying taxes, the official tax collected by the imperial court must be collected together with rice, grain, silk and cloth.

Although the common people need to sell part of the harvested rice in exchange for silk cloth to pay taxes, there will be more losses.

But this loss is still within the tolerance of the common people.

But if the nobles of Ji Town set their sights on the last piece of land in the homes of ordinary people, there will be more tricks.

Take taxes as an example. The imperial court expressly collects [-]% or [-]% of taxes, and [-]% of miscellaneous taxes are added to the prefectures and counties, and [-]% is added to the counties.

This has become a tax of [-] to [-]%, which is not bad.

But from the county to the village, and then from the countryside to the people, this process is a complete gray area.

The imperial court said that [-]% was collected, but what [-]% wanted was two cents of rice for a piece of silk cloth.

But when it comes to the mouths of the three elders in the countryside, it will become that all the imperial court confiscates are silk cloth and no rice.

What, fellow, you don’t have rice, that’s not okay. Come on, my family just opened a cloth shop, silk cloth is cheap, three buckets of rice is one foot of cloth, you only need to sell ten stones of rice to pay the tax!

What, you don’t have ten stones of rice, that’s not enough, fellow, if you don’t pay enough taxes, you’ll be put in jail, hey, look, we’re all folks, and I can’t watch you jump into the fire pit, fellow, look at you Do you have any sons or daughters at home?

Hey, fellow, you cherish your son and daughter and don’t want to sell it, tsk tsk, I understand, I understand, parents love their children, it’s too right, it’s okay, it’s not me, fellow, you can really squat no.

In this way, I will pay the money and pay taxes for you fellow!I will lend you ten stone rice!It’s only a three-point profit, three points a month, don’t rush to pay it back, I’ll pay it back after the harvest next year, come, come, sign here or put a handprint on it...

After such operations, when the villagers finally have a bumper harvest next year, thinking that they can pay back the grain owed by the great benevolent people, they ended up taking out an IOU.

In addition to deducting the original ten shi meters, there is still a full thirty or even fifty shi meters to pay back!
By this time, the three elders who had been kind, generous and forthright were no longer what they were before. They came directly to the door, and either sold their sons and daughters, or sold their own fields.

Whether it's the rich family of Jizhen or Liu Ying himself, it's just relying on this kind of operation, in just a dozen years.

Forcibly turning the millions of mu of fertile land around Ji Town into their own property, which of the four major families in Ji Town has hundreds of thousands of mu of land under their name?
Of course, in name, the land held by these wealthy families is only a pitiful few hundred acres.

As for where the disappearing fields went, that is beyond the knowledge of the wealthy people.
