Domineering Daming

Li Banghua also realized the seriousness of the matter. He thought for a moment with a cold face, and said: "Scale down to three thousand households. Collect the problems collected by various departments. Let's discuss it. When it is perfect, report it to the cabinet." Continue. Call everyone to a meeting to discuss a charter. Later, I will report to the cabinet. The next plan should be discussed in the long term."

"Yes." Zhang Liqi said: "I'm going to make preparations now, my subordinate."

Li Banghua looked at the "Immigration Outline" just written in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold, and he picked it up and threw it aside into the trash can.

Chapter 1493

Li Banghua has received the wind, and the news from the cabinet will naturally not be slower than him.

Zhao Han raised his head from the desk, looked at his colleagues not far away, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Li Shilang has a headache, should we help him?"

Shen Xun handed a memorial to the staff in front of him, and said: "I think it's still a little early, and it's a small problem if it is exposed now, we are testing the water, and those people are also testing us, so we have to wait. "

Wang Qiaonian was also in the cabinet today. Hearing this, he stood up, held his teacup, walked a few steps, and said, "It is true that we have to wait, but we can't wait forever. How about we add fire and point out some people and things? "

Zhou Yingqiu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What does Mr. Wang Ge mean...to force those people to surface faster?"

Wang Qiaonian said: "Well, the list of 76 new magistrates drawn up by the Ministry of Officials has been released, and they will take up their posts in April. This is a good opportunity."

At this time, King Jing leaned on the chair, his eyes flickered and said: "It is to add fuel to the fire, so we can't let them toss about it in a leisurely manner. How about this? The cabinet will issue a notice to ask the northern provinces to step up the counting of the victims and do a good job. Good preparation for land division.”

If such an ostentatious notification was made, those who wanted to take a bite would be unable to sit still, jumping out one after another, speeding up the operation, and wantonly opening their hands up and down, opening their mouths to the maximum.

The memorial book in Fu Changzong's hand came from the Suzhou Mansion, and he said without raising his head: "The memorial book of the Suzhou Mansion said that the harvested land was less than [-] mu in more than a month. , Hangzhou, and Yangzhou as well."

Sun Chuanting, who had been silent all this time, raised his head, looked at Fu Changzong and said, "Are you going to make a fuss about this matter?"

Fu Changzong stood up, handed the memorial to him, and said: "Suyanghang is a demonstration area delineated by the emperor, and no mistakes are allowed. I plan to go there in May. Before that, I will let the wind out and say that the imperial court will spare no effort. The price is to buy the land of the three prefectures."

Sun Chuanting said thoughtfully: "This way the hoarding of land in the three prefectures will become even crazier. Let's follow the clues?"

Suzhou Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion are almost the three most developed places in Ming Dynasty, and they are also important places for agricultural taxation. If these three places are resolved, other places will be a matter of course.

The other cabinet ministers listened to the conversation between Sun Chuanting and Fu Changzong, and nodded slightly. This is indeed a solution.

Zhou Yingqiu said: "Then the various departments have to cooperate well, and we should leave it to Li Shilang. His department is just when it needs to be powerful, and it will be of great use in the future."

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Mr. Zhou Ge, you take the lead in handling this matter. I will call Li Shilang over later. Let's discuss it in detail."

Zhou Yingqiu responded, stood up and said, "I'll go to the Department of Prisons and the Anti-Corruption Bureau first. These things need to be done in a coordinated manner, and no department can do it alone."

Sun Chuanting did not object, and continued: "My lord, your Governor's Council has done a good job of reviewing, and the more than 70 county magistrates should be dispatched as soon as possible."

Prince Jing, who remained silent all this time, said, "Okay, it shouldn't be a big problem. Most of the students in the Political Yuan were born in poverty. As long as they haven't been wooed, their conduct can still be trusted."

Sun Chuanting said: "Well, let's start from the north first, promote from north to south, and make preparations for the follow-up. There are too many things this year, so we can't delay."

Everyone naturally knew it, and they answered the sentence one after another, and got busy again.

The cabinet quickly released rumors, especially the news that the imperial court was going to establish an agricultural demonstration zone in Suyanghang, which caused a sensation in the whole south.

They all know that the imperial court has money and food, and the three mansions of Suyanghang and Hangzhou are extremely lively for a while.

Not only buying land and hoarding goods, but also involving farm tools, livestock, chemical fertilizers, etc., the price is sky-high!

Not only the three prefectures of Suyanghang, but also Nanzhili followed, as if everyone's attention was on the land, staring at the imperial court's "division plan".

Li Banghua and others held intensive meetings with the cabinet, and within three days, a series of decrees were promulgated.

First, the cabinet requires all provinces to report the list of disaster victims to prepare for immigration needs, and the time is one month.

The second is that Fu Changzong will go to the three prefectures of Suyanghang and Hangzhou to inspect the "Agricultural Demonstration Zone" and promote related integration plans.

The third is the announcement jointly issued by the Royal Commercial Group and the Royal Bank that they will collect [-] million silver to buy land, mainly concentrated in the three prefectures of Suyanghang and Hangzhou.

The fourth is issued by the "Qingtian Special Team", claiming that 20 hectares of reclaimed land in Liaodong has been divided and can accommodate more than 100 million disaster victims.

The fifth way is to clarify the powers and responsibilities of the "Qingtian Special Group" by the parliament, limit the interference of other departments and officials, require independent operation, and eliminate potential power interference.

These five decrees were issued one after another, as if to send a message to some caring people: Hurry up, otherwise there will be no chance.

Sure enough, these few pieces of news quickly spread throughout Daming, and for a while there was a turmoil and a dark tide.

Countless people, disaster victims, landless tenants, etc. are looking forward to it, and the yamen in various places are almost overcrowded, and each of them is about to break their heads.

Officials at all levels had already received reports from the imperial court earlier, and the tone of them was unprecedentedly severe. None of them dared to be negligent, and they all stood up and stared.

Shuntian Mansion, Wan County, Deyou Town, Wanglizhuang.

A group of people blocked Lizheng's house, shouting loudly.

"Lizheng, just give me a stamp. You know the situation of our family. The few acres of land can't support the six people in our family. You can be regarded as disaster victims..."

"Lizheng, we can be members of the Wufu clan, and the benefits cannot be taken advantage of by outsiders. You stamped it today, and tomorrow I will take the land. I wish you well..."

"Lizheng, five of my neighbors here have already signed and made guarantees. It's up to you. Once you stamp the seal, it's over. Why hesitate..."

Behind these people was a gray-haired old man. He stood at the door with a blank expression on his face. No matter what these people said, he would not let go.

Shandong Jinan Prefecture, Taide County, Shanling Town, Zhuangyuan Village.

The mayor summoned the sixteen Lizhengs in the village, and said indifferently, "You'd better remember what I said today. Whoever causes a catastrophe will have to bear it by himself. If it hurts me, Before I die, I must kill you all!"

One by one peeped at each other face to face, terrified, wondering why the mayor, who is usually very kind, changed his face today and said such cruel words.

The mayor's eyes were full of sternness, and he said: "First, I will turn a blind eye to you hiding the householders and concealing the fields. But when it comes to land distribution, you should be honest and honest. There is no means at all! The court is serious this time. The situation of each victim requires a neighbor’s guarantee. Lizheng and the mayor’s second-level signatures are confirmed. If a fraud is found, Lizheng and the mayor will be dismissed. They will be imprisoned together for one year. Fixed-term imprisonment, life-long ban from officialdom. Three, ten times the fine, five years in prison, and no officialdom within three generations of three clans! So, if you want to find death, I will not stop you, but if who the hell pulls me into the water, I will get it Kill his whole family!"

Hearing the mayor's stern words, everyone was shocked, and dared not speak.

Chapter 1494 New officials and new yamen

Yingtian Mansion, Shangyuan County.

County Prime Minister Wang Qingji was hosting a banquet for a dozen big households, and the banquet started with laughter and laughter. Wang Qingji politely asked these big households to support the magistrate's office and pay the summer tax in full.

These big households talked about him one after another, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, without saying a word of truth.

Wang Qingji was not in a hurry, and continued to be polite. It didn't take long for these big households to be a little restless.

The so-called "no profit can't afford it early", these officials are even more aware of the reason. When Wang Qingji called a group of them over, they all spoke innocuous official language, which was completely unreasonable.

Several big households looked at each other subconsciously, their eyes quietly vigilant, and the smiles on their faces became more intense.

Wang Qingji was born in the Royal Political Academy, and was also a member of the previous three sessions. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is good at observing words and demeanor. He can't see through these people.

Wang Qingji just shaved his teeth, and said leisurely: "I heard that you suddenly bought a lot of land in Shangyuan and Yingtianfu, and the means are not bright?"

Everyone was startled and sober up a lot, staring at Wang Qingji seriously.
