"Measure the land? Are the farmlands in the upper and lower areas of our county in the record? The land book is not lost and burned, so why should we measure it again?" The county magistrate jumped up as if he was being stepped on by a rat on his tail.

"Why should we measure the land?" The newly appointed magistrate took his nose and measured it again. Isn't this obvious? But he wouldn't fight back so bluntly, because he already had a very appropriate excuse.

"Because the records of the field book are inaccurate, have you not heard of Han from Zhangde Mansion at all?"

"Besides, the minister of Zhai Jingluo said that the Zhai family had a total of 116 hectares of dry land, including 30 hectares of paddy fields, plus 35 hectares of orchards and forest land. However, the field book records only 65 hectares of dry land, 10 hectares of paddy fields, 15 hectares of orchards and forest land. Isn't this ridiculous?"

The magistrate pointed at Tian Ce and asked, with such a ridiculous expression on his face. The county magistrate, the lord, the lord, the lord, and the heads in front of him also had such expressions. This was really ridiculous.

Someone else is asking for trouble by themselves? Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin are both fools, aren’t they?

Once this matter is confirmed, the Zhai family will not only pay ten times the heavy tax, but the hidden land will also be confiscated by the court.

"Zhai Jingluo's grandparents are selfless and have written a letter to apologize to the king and paid a fine. What questions do you have?"

The magistrate's face was stern, and one of the people present was all obedient. They had heard of the Han family's fate, and they didn't beat everyone to death. As long as they obediently report the number of land in just one ten-day period, they could still be easily lost.

But if you have to be strong, who thinks that they can be more powerful than the Han family? Or can they be more powerful than the Zhai family on acre of one acre and three-point ground in Heluo?

But even if you comfort yourself, you are cutting their flesh and putting their blood.

These officials from the official office walked out of the small flower hall with a bleak expression on their faces.

Then what choice should be made and how to face this storm, it all depends on themselves.

Although the taxes of Zhao Song Dynasty were never as speechless as Zhu Ming, it was not too simple and easy to hide tax evasion in this dark era and in the environment where there are no officials in the world.

If no one is willing to pay taxes, especially when others can pay less taxes, of course, you have to pay less for two children and you can also deepen friendship with the officials in the government. This is a matter of mutual benefit.

There is really no one in the world to repay as much as you can.

Or in other words, the family businesses of many landlords and tyrants quickly accumulate in such an environment. The more they earn, the more land they will buy, and then make some arrangements in the yamen, pay less money and save more money to make money, and then buy property and land. In this way, the land merger will proceed unconsciously through such means.

Many dynasties in China prohibited land annexation, but the National People's Congress and the Song Dynasty did not prohibit it, so there were so many extremely poor people without a place.

The power of the giant clan is getting bigger and bigger, but life is becoming more and more difficult for the people at the bottom.

This scene is the most important factor in the three hundred years of reincarnation in ancient Chinese history, and it has been like this in all dynasties. In the late period of the dynasty, the problem of land annexation not only made life difficult for the majority of ordinary people, but also a huge loss of the country's finances. The country could not collect taxes in the late Ming Dynasty, which was the culmination of this evil result.

Wang Anshi's previous reform, when he ordered the whole country to clear the land and implement the square land equal tax law, his reputation immediately became unheard of because of the universality of this hidden land.

Before Zhao Gou was in Bianliang, he suddenly began to clear the land, which undoubtedly caused many troubles in the local area. Whether it was Hebei and Hedong before, or the newly acquired territory now, he was not afraid.

It would be better if the patient had a sudden outbreak earlier, so that the root of disaster would be planted and some trouble would occur in the future.

Zhao Gou wanted to force out all his enemies at once. He not only asked people to clear the fields again, but also established the Five Army Governor's Office in the central government, and appointed them as the commander-in-chief of the five major camps to take charge of the military power. Each place has one chief governor, each left, one right governor, and one left and one left and one left and one army officer. That not only governs the elite troops of the headquarters, but also governs the garrison troops under its jurisdiction.

Of course, the Governor's Office of the Five Army did not have the power to dispatch troops, and the power to dispatch was directly controlled by the King of Yan. All they had was the power to command military command, because they were all long-time generals?

Correspondingly, although the Ministry of War has the power to recruit, appoint, remove, and promote the troops in the army, it does not command the troops. During wars, the King of Yan temporarily appointed a special person as the commander and led the troops to fight. After the wars, the commander returned the general seal and the army returned to the governor's offices and various routes.

This is equivalent to actually abolishing the Privy Council.

The Privy Council is gone, what should I do? Whether it is the prime minister or the civil servant group in the future, it will be difficult for them to control military power.

And if you can't even control the military power, why should you control the martial arts with literature?

In addition, Zhao Gou also established a memorial system and ordered his close officials and some officials from the border to report secretly in order to monitor each other and inquire about the people's sentiments.

This was another heavy blow to the Eastern Palace in the subordinates of the Secretariat, namely the Zhengshitang, and the Song people's East and West governments.

The rules and regulations that were gradually formed in Zhao Song over a hundred years were overturned by Zhao Gou.

In the Song Dynasty, in the early days, the prime minister was in charge of civil affairs, the Privy Councilor was in charge of military affairs, and the three officials were in charge of finance. After the reform of the Shenzong official system, the prime minister actually also took charge of finance and had great power. To check and balance, the emperor's most advantageous weapon was the Censorate, who specialized in supervision.

But what about now?

Once the memorial system is opened, local officials of the prefectures and government offices can hand over secret memorials to the emperor, and then send official documents to the superiors in a routine manner. After teaching the people above to read it, they will submit them to the emperor for snatching them.

How can someone who is above press the notebook to cover the cover?

If you are not careful, you can get a charge of blocking the holy hearing. Who can bear it? And power is passing through a lot.

The policy announced by Zhao Gou shook the government and the country as if it were thunder. Just like the explosion sounded on the head of Bianliang City, the city's defenders obviously could not afford it after fighting for many days. However, the Northern Army still had no plans to seize Bianliang.

Instead, Zhao Gou was seen throwing bombs at the Shilin scholars and officials one after another.

This is to force out more opposition parties. Of course, there will be some timid and cowardly people, and some realists who are very conscious of the times will kneel down, but there will always be some literati who are "pure and straight, with sharp and sharp" coming to destroy the family and relieve the troubles.

Watching Zhao Song's achievements in civil servant politics over the past hundred years were unscrupulously destroyed by Zhao Gou, how could all of them be angry?

"Working recklessly, doing things arbitrarily. The King of Yan disobeyed his ancestors' wishes very much, so why aren't he afraid that officials will force the people to rebel?"

In Yangzhou City, Li Gang, who served as the commander of the Lianghuai River, roared angryly.

He was not calling for the injustice for the borers who were hiding the land, but was angry at Zhao Gou's actions. In line with the policies recently announced and implemented by the Northern Army, Zhao Gou's image was already brighter in the eyes of Li Gang and others.

That is not the one from the old Zhao family, or even the one from the previous one from Shizong Chai Rong - using the urgent and killing too much - is just a piece of cake!

At that time, Chai Rong, the Zhou Shizong, was also a top-notch hero. With his rebellious and turbulent times, his mighty voice shocked the barbarians and summer. He was a virtuous master at the time. However, when he was in his actions, he was defeated by killing and his usage was too strict. His ministers were often punished for their duties. Although he had talent and reputation, he had nothing to gain. Therefore, when he was there, no one dared to disobey the entire Later Zhou Dynasty, but once he left, the world of the Chai family was easily obtained by Boss Zhao.

What about the current King of Yan? He is no longer a matter of killing people or not, but is really going to overturn civil servant politics.

Under his command, the civil servants and officials were the dragons lying on the lieutenant tigers. How could they still have the ability to share the world with the emperor?

However, how huge the backlash of doing this is, the lessons from the past are vivid in my mind. Why did the King of Yan learn from no lesson at all?

From Li Gang's standpoint, he didn't think there was anything wrong with civil servants' politics. They were scholars, one by one, who knew the great power and was well-educated and rational, and of course they needed people like them to govern the world.

Wenhua Song Dynasty was the emperor and scholars and officials who ruled the world, not the people.

How can the emperor do what he said? That would be a mistake. Because one person has a short plan and two people have a strong plan, it would be harmful to be arbitrary to the world. Therefore, it is very good for the scholars and officials to share some of the pressure on the emperor, and it is also a kind of check and balance.

But what about Zhao Gou?

His policies not only attacked the literati and officials from a material perspective, but also implemented a great political increase in the imperial power.

Li Gang was very dissatisfied with Zhao Gou, but at the same time he was also dissatisfied with Zhao Huan. The leaders on both sides had flaws in his eyes, and they were very flawed, but it was difficult to correct them again. This is really an unsatisfactory one.
