Ming dynasty grand dude

Because of the must-learn "Mao Si", Grandpa Zhang has read many anthologies about that great man.

Part of it records his thinking and many suggestions in the land reform.

Books are indeed the ladder of human progress.

Annan's "scholar" class must be destroyed, as well as wealthy families everywhere.

They are the real destabilizing factors.

The decision to make this step is also because of Zhang Xiaogong's own experience.

Only when the interests are deeply bound can the stability of the relationship be guaranteed.

The land of those gentry and aristocrats were divided by them by "beating local tyrants", and they were ceded to the Annan people below.

What is the result of this? !

It must be that these common people have formed irreconcilable conflicts with the gentry and wealthy families.

Because of this, they must stand with Daming.

Without the support of these ordinary people, the gentry and wealthy families in Annan are nothing but rootless trees.

With the cooperation of these common people, they will be thoroughly mopped up.

Well, even if they were lucky enough to escape.

There will be no disturbances in the future, and even if they show this sign, something will happen.

The first batch of ruthless hands to hold them down was either someone else or these Annan people with vested interests.

The common people are not stupid, they are very clear about how the land in their hands came from.

If the overthrown Hu Hansan masters come back, how can we not liquidate their muddy legs? !

As the propertied class, even out of consideration of their own interests, they must kill those gentry and nobles.

"I won't hide it from you guys, I'm going to follow the old man to the south of Yunnan this time."

Li Tingyan said softly to the generals sitting with him in the tent.

"The formal acceptance of the surrender must be subject to the acceptance of the old Li Xiya in the cabinet of the upper court."

These generals have no opinion on this, what they care about is how to take the next road.

Li Tingyan naturally knew what they were thinking, so he talked about it next.

"This trip to southern Yunnan is not only a visit to Mr. Li Xiya, but also a training and selection."

What the Duke of Chong said next made them less calm.

Simply put, Daming does not think that Annan still needs to keep so many troops, only a small part of the army.

At the same time, a team similar to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Yamen will be set up to be responsible for the security of criminal investigations in various parts of Annan.

"Baojing Zhuangyong is rated at [-] armored, and the tentative number of arrests and punishments is [-]."

Then Li Tingyan paused, looked at them and said calmly: "Those pawns will be put back, and the candidates will be selected from among us."

As soon as they said this, they understood. Da Ming felt that there was no need to keep those ordinary soldiers.

Even they, their personal soldiers, are only qualified to be ordinary soldiers or government servants.

But at least they are qualified to be selected, and the soldiers below are not even qualified for this.

"So, write a letter to the family to report safety."

Li Tingyan said indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will set off for southern Yunnan with the old man."

Li Tingyan smiled slightly as he watched the eyes of the generals below flicker.

"By the way, this court is going to deal with some traitors and courtiers..."

As soon as he said those words, those whose eyes were flickering couldn't help but lower their heads.

Li Tingyan continued on his own: "If you enter, you will be strong and brave, and those who will be punished are naturally not included..."

The generals below couldn't help but tremble. It seems that this matter is not so simple.

It's not that no one is outraged, thinking that labor and capital will go back to be a local emperor and won't play with you Daming.

However, it was obvious that Da Ming didn't have the patience to play broad-minded games with them.

Even if you are willing to come, even if you fail the assessment, I have to deal with you!

"Don't forget, our current status...is a general!"

Li Tingyan waved his hands with a smile to let these generals who had their own thoughts sent away, while he sat silently in the chair.

After a while, a voice came leisurely.

"Mr. Chongjun... No! Our family has to call you 'Daming Sienbo'!"

Hearing this voice, Li Tingyan hurriedly stood up, dusted off his shirt and straightened his crown, and bowed respectfully to the figure.

"Fortunately, His Majesty has not given up on the body of a guilty minister! Such a gift, I am very terrified! Even terrified!..."

The voice came again: "Jie Jie Jie... His Majesty likes smart people! He likes people who understand the general situation."

"Don't worship, and sit down first!"

Only then did Li Tingyan get up slowly, and sat down respectfully under the visitor.

The person here is Wang Zhi who is dressed in black!

Several months of running around in southern Yunnan, Annan and other places made his complexion extremely dark.

At the same time, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, but his spirit seems to have improved a lot.

The eyes are bright and bright, although they are dark, they look as if they are a few years younger.

"There are not many of these people who can use them, so you should screen them carefully."

Wang Zhi had a half-smile on his dark face, and said lightly to Li Tingyan: "Bo Si Enbo! Your Majesty gave you face, and you have to wear it."

"After Annan's arrival, there will be some turmoil. If it is not possible, it will have to be blamed on you."

Li Tingyan bowed his head and replied softly: "This is nature! This is nature!"

"Don't worry about it! Our family knows how many children you have in your family. The Daming Imperial Academy and the Imperial Official School each have a place."

Wang Zhi looked at him with a faint smile on his face: "How to arrange it, you just see and do it!"

There was a trace of ecstasy in Li Tingyan's eyes, let alone now.

Even when the Li Dynasty and the Hu Dynasty were in the Chen Dynasty, it was a great honor to be able to study in the Imperial Academy of the Central Dynasty!

It is equivalent to the fact that the later generations came out of Harvard, Yale, MIT... so can you not criticize it? !

"My little minister... thank you for His Majesty's grace!!"

Li Tingyan swallowed a little more while speaking, and actually bowed and kowtowed.

That head made a sound of "bang bang bang~" on the ground.

"Get up now! Remember, these people must not mess around!"

After saying this, Wang Zhi smiled and quietly hid his figure in the dark.

When Li Tingyan got up, he no longer saw Wang Zhi's figure.

But he still kowtowed several times to Wang Zhi where he sat just now.

Then he got up, returned to his chair and called out, "Come on!"

A few veteran soldiers entered the tent upon hearing the sound, and began to search left and right under Li Tingyan's signal.

In the end, he shook his head at Li Tingyan, and only at this moment could he see the cold sweat on Li Tingyan's forehead.

"master……"

Several veteran soldiers were a little puzzled, but Li Tingyan waved them back.

"Like facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice..."

Li Tingyan lowered his head and sighed inwardly: "A young man didn't understand the meaning of the book, but now he knows... just a few strokes, all kinds of suffering!"

Annan's soldiers and generals were separated, and the generals set off silently to south Yunnan.

The surrendered soldiers gathered under the banner of their fellow villagers, and were accompanied by the dispersed National Defense Forces and sentries to return to their hometowns.

At the same time, those who heard the news were also those who had already bought the right to copy the property.

Young Master Zhang didn't even play it himself, he just asked Housekeeper Xiao Zhou to notify them.

These wolf cubs from the breeding association couldn't stand it any longer, and took their own servants and nurses with them and embarked on the road of ransacking their homes.

Basically, everything that can be copied in Shenglong City has been copied, and many assets of the royal family have not yet been bought.

The preparation is that when all the house raids are completed, a large-scale buying event will be held in Thang Long.

So, at this moment, they all rushed out!

They all thought about quickly copying all the family properties of these girls. Fortunately, Shenglongpu bought more money in the future!

During the last meeting, the heads of these trade associations were a little bit annoyed.

why? !Because the money brought is not enough!

When they came out this time, the most they brought was more than 3000 gold coins.

Originally, I thought it should be almost the same, but who knew that one vote in the south of Yunnan would make the trouble almost the same.

It will take time to transport things back, sell them, and exchange them for large amounts of gold coins.

This created a problem, they were running out of money.

Fortunately, the young master allowed them to use the seals and handprints of their respective associations to sign notes.

Just buy it and sign the contract, and it's the public account of the Huoyi Association.

Things can be taken away directly, and then the goods will be settled according to the contract.

Westerners always talk about the spirit of contract. In fact, the contract was also popular in China, Song and Ming Dynasties.

It even derived a contract method with Chinese characteristics.

For example, if it is real estate, such as "fields, mountains, graves, houses, shops..." and so on.

If you want to make a move, you must first ask the relatives and neighbors of the same clan.

If there is no one to take over from relatives and neighbors of the same clan, it will be sold to the outside world.

This is to ensure that these properties remain in their own hands as much as possible, and to safeguard the collective interests of the same clan relatives and neighbors.

And if the price is negotiated, the government will pay the "deed tax" to let the government "overcut".

It is equivalent to obtaining official justice, and this contract can't be regretted.

In addition, in order to protect the interests of the tenant farmers, there is also the rule of "the tenant follows the field".

Even if you bought this field, the tenant cannot drive them away, and cannot raise the rent just because the rent is raised.

This is the case even for houses and shops, and we pay attention to a "buy and sell without breaking the lease".

When it was developed to the time of Young Master Zhang, not only delivery transactions appeared, but also pawning, leasing, hiring of living things... and so on.

Animals such as donkeys, horses, and cows can all have lease documents.

Therefore, they also felt that it was acceptable for Young Master Zhang to do this.

"Xi Yagong, why did you come over suddenly?!"

Looking at the old guy in front of him, Mr. Zhang was a little bit dumbfounded.

Back then, the old guy was humorous and liked to give people nicknames, and he was too evasive because of his talent and learning, so he was not valued by the big bosses of the dynasty.

Unexpectedly, this temper is still in the face of old age.

"If Qilin'er can come, why can't the old man come?!"

The old man chuckled, looking at him in a shabby Taoist robe and cloth shoes with missing toes.

Grandpa Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, if he hadn't often come to the house when he was in the capital.
