Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

That is, the Lu family, the Xie family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Zhang family.

These big families controlled almost half of the land in Hongzhou, raised many skilled people, and hired many local scholars with money.

From private armed forces to private public opinion, they all have very powerful energy.

During the classical empire period, emperors relied on princes and aristocratic families to govern the grassroots.

In the later imperial period, the emperors relied on literati to rule the world, and the literati relied on big landlords and squires to control the grassroots people locally.

That is, these people present.

When they have mastered public opinion, the imperial court must cooperate with them. Although it cannot be said that the imperial power is kidnapped by local forces, their interests must not be harmed.

There are also real cases in history. For example, after Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, he did not compromise with the gentry and landlords, and continued to torture them, only to be sold.

Chen Yuru said: "Starting from this year, the imperial court will implement a new agricultural policy on Jiangnan West Road. Please cooperate with the imperial court's thinking."

The Patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Shaohong, said: "Chen Sicao, don't worry, we are all law-abiding citizens, we will do whatever the imperial court needs us to do."

"This year Hongzhou will complete [-] mu of land, and you must contribute [-] mu."

"Don't worry, there is no problem with [-] mu." Xie Zhi said, "But the grassroots are worried that when the time comes, the government will take so much land that farmers will not be able to rent it."

"That's something for later, it's not something you should worry about now." Chen Yuru said.

"Yes, we will take care of this matter."

"Having said that, we also have to think about what to do with those fields if farmers can't afford to rent them?" Lu Shaohong said.

"Then we can only buy it back at that time. After all, the government holds it in their hands, and the financial pressure is too great, so it is difficult for Chen Sicao to explain to the court." Xie Zhi said.

Chen Yuru didn't say anything either.

These people seem to be helping the court implement the new agricultural policy, but in fact everyone is a master of riddles.

When Chen Yuru said that the new agricultural policy will be implemented, these people are full of cooperation, but it is actually a formality.

Chen Yuru said that he will allocate [-] mu of land this year, and everyone also cooperates.

Then Xie Zhi tentatively asked, what should farmers do if they cannot afford the rent?

How can farmers not afford to rent?

You know, Qin Hui has already tested handing over banknotes to go to the countryside on Gyeonggi Road. With the Agricultural Administration Bank, farmers must be able to rent them.

The reason why I say this is to infer what to do later and mess up this matter.

Xie Zhi also said that if the rent cannot be rented out by then, they will reluctantly buy the land back at a low price.

The initiative of the transaction is in the hands of the landlord and the government. If there is a price difference, there will be a profit.

Who should bear the part of the price difference?

Of course it is the imperial court!

That's how money comes from!

Some things cannot be brought out in the open, and some nice words are needed to embellish them, but everyone present knows that there will be money to be made at that time.

After messing up, of course the primary responsibility lies with Qin Hui.

During the whole process, Chen Yuru was very cooperative. When he submitted a letter to plead guilty, some people in the court would say that Chen Yuru had a good attitude and could not be punished at will. Otherwise, who would work in the future?

When everyone was discussing, Liu Chaofeng came.

"Chen Sicao, Mr. Qin has an invitation."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's about the new agricultural policy."

"I was just discussing with them how to promote the new agricultural policy." Chen Yuru said with a smile, "I have good news to tell Mr. Qin."

After Chen Yuru said some things about the scene, he cleaned up and rushed to Qin Hui.

"The next official sees Mr. Qin."

"How is the implementation of the new agricultural policy?" Qin Hui asked knowingly.

"Under Qin Xianggong's wise guidance, the people of Hongzhou now all support the new policy." Chen Yuru smiled kindly, and his tone was full of sincerity, "Qin Xianggong, don't worry, there will be results soon."

"How fast is soon?"

"If nothing else, a group of landlords will sell their land this year."

"how many?"

"This...about at least [-] mu of land will be sold."

"Are the banks ready to lend?"

"Everything is ready."

"But how did I hear that some landowners and squires objected?"

"It's normal for individual people to have emotions, and it can't change the general trend." Chen Yuru continued.

Obviously, this is drawing cakes for Qin Hui.

This kind of practice is Tai Chi.

In this world, many things become more and more difficult in the future.

For example, at the beginning of the implementation of the new agricultural policy, due to the proximity to the capital, the mobilizable New Deal faction was powerful, and the emperor could effectively deter it.

Most importantly, the efficiency of information transmission is high.

However, with the widening distance from the capital and the passage of time, many local officials knew the court's routine in the reform.

After knowing the policies and methods above, the people below naturally began to think of corresponding countermeasures.

For example, Chen Yuru at this time, he has made double-dealing to the extreme.

On the surface, he was obedient to Qin Hui, respectful, and wished that every time he saw Qin Hui, he would call Qin Hui, who was ten years younger than him, father.

But in fact, Chen Yuru is not easy to deal with.

This kind of subordinate is that, whatever you tell him, he says it can be done, no problem, and the process is clear and logical.

You can hardly find fault with it.

But if you really believe it, you have to bear the pitfalls yourself.

"Are they all willing to cooperate?"

"All are willing."

"How long will it take them to take out the [-] mu of land?"

"It will take about half a year."

"Half a year?" Qin Hui's face darkened.

Chapter 872 Qin Hui's Counterattack (Second Change)

One hundred thousand mu of land was allocated in half a year, and it was only Longxing Mansion.

If the new agricultural policy is carried out according to this progress, Qin Hui should stop doing it.

Don't say that Qin Hui can't wait, the Zhao official family in the capital may be furious.

"Why half a year?" Qin Hui asked impatiently.

"Qin Xianggong calmed down because the new agricultural policy is too unfamiliar to the people of Longxing Mansion, and the land property statistics of this Longxing Mansion have a way out, and the people in the military yamen need to check carefully, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes."

"There is nothing wrong with making some mistakes, and we must pay attention to the process of handling things."

"Qin Xianggong taught the truth, and the next official will remember it in his heart."

"Can you take out [-] mu of land in two months?"

"Two months is really tight."

"Aren't those lands in their hands?"

"It's true that it's in their hands, but it's [-] mu of land after all."

Qin Hui paused for a moment, then said, "Have you been a transit envoy on Jiangnan West Road for several years?"

"Thanks to Qin Xianggong's care, Xiaguan has been working as a transfer envoy on Jiangnan West Road for four years."

"During the past four years, those people have taken a lot of ground, right?" Qin Hui asked, "Find a few and make an example of them."

"Mr. Qin, these people have already expressed their views and are willing to cooperate with the court. If they kill chickens and monkeys at this time, the officials are worried that unnecessary trouble will be caused."

"Don't be so procrastinating in doing things, find some clues, I want it today!"

"Yes, I'm going right now, sir."

Chen Yuru returned to the transfer department, leaned on the bamboo chair and fell asleep.

What Qin Hui told him about finding some clues to get out has been forgotten.

At that time, just find a few small shrimps to prevaricate.

In the early morning of the sixth day of February, Qin Hui had just finished his breakfast when he received the latest secret report from Tokyo City.

When he finished reading, he stood up in shock on the spot.

Wang Ciweng and Luo Ruji were arrested!

Qin Hui read the secret letter again, reading it word by word.

"Idiot!" He couldn't help cursing, "That idiot Wang Ciweng! And Luo Ruji! Two stupid pigs!"

Qin Hui picked up the plate on the table and slammed it on the ground.

The plate was smashed and the buns were scattered on the ground.

The servants outside hurried in.

"Get out!"

Everyone was so frightened that they quickly retreated.

Qin Hui wanted to smash more things, but at that moment, he held back.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and read the secret letter carefully again.

The Criminal Department, which he had painstakingly managed for many years, was finished.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to Qin Hui.

Qin Hui sat down again, his face was extremely pale and extremely ugly.

He sat there for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking.

When he stood up again, he had already recovered, squatting on the ground, picked up the steamed buns, and continued to eat mouthfuls.

After eating, he went out and said to the servants, "Go in and clean up."

Then the servants went in and cleaned up the ground.

Qin Hui went to the backyard. He took a hoe and began to dig the soil in the backyard.

The early spring sunshine shone on him, casting a veil of mystery on him.

Everyone is passionate when they are young.

A man's romance is to wear fresh clothes and angry horses, defend his home and country, or occupy an important position, and inspire and benefit one party.

But in this worldly torrent, everything is independent of personal will.

Those ideal romances are so vulnerable in the face of the intrigue of power and the mutual competition of interests.

For some people, growing up in the vortex of power is a process of turning people into ghosts.

In the afternoon, Qin Hui immediately called Chen Yuru again.

"Qin Xianggong, regarding the list you want, the official has already prepared it."

"No, I'm not asking you for a list now, but something more important."

"I don't know what it is, please tell Mr. Qin clearly."

"Your son Chen Zhengxian served as a political officer on the Left in Hedong last year, right?"

"That's right, it all depends on Qin Xianggong's promotion."
