Chapter 69 Accidents occur frequently
Qingzhang land mu in Chenliu County has begun.
Under the organization of Lu Huiqing, people from grassroots organizations such as Chenliu County, Jiang Township, village, community, household, and senior organized to jointly clean up the land.
In order to reduce fraud, the countryside does not clear the land in its own village, but goes to other villages to check, which can greatly reduce fraud.
In fact, the resistance in the countryside is not strong, because every time I go to a village to investigate, there will be yamen runners to give detailed preaching of policies.
Before the policy is understood, the inspection will not be carried out first, but will be carried out after several consecutive discussions.
Of course, there are still quarrels and even minor physical conflicts. Some local rich people in the countryside do not understand, but they dare not object.
Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun supervise the land that was found in statistics every day, and it was shocking to find that the amount of hidden land was hidden.
No wonder the money in the treasury was getting less and less before the New Year, and it turned out that the root cause was also related to this.
Not to mention the large-scale scope, just say that the hidden land in more than a dozen villages that have been inspected accounts for half of the books.
If this is the case across the country, about half of the land cannot receive taxes.
During the inspection, there was indeed a rich man who sent the land to the tenants.
Because the tenants themselves have no land, each household can send forty acres of land.
So after the inventory was found, these lands were actually not taxable.
But Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun didn't care about this, but recorded the fields and the nominal owners.
Although the early stage went smoothly, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun did not relax their vigilance because the real challenge did not come.
Sure enough, it happened unexpectedly when I found the core area.
The Zhang family uses weapons to fight against the Qingzhang team!
The Zhang family occupies half of Chenliu County, and their family is also quite large.
Since the Five Dynasties, the Zhang family has taken root here. Over the past ten generations, the Zhang family has reached tens of thousands of people!
This time, the Zhang family gathered together and gathered thousands of people to fight against the Qingzhang team in various townships.
Qingzhang suddenly fell into stagnation.
Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun continued to go to the scene to interpret and persuade policies, but for the Zhang family, they actually did not accept these policies.
For civilians, their hidden land is not enough, and for small landlords, they can just send the land to the tenant.
But for the Zhang family, they have too many fields!
Even if you send it out, there are still a large amount of land that cannot avoid taxes.
Of course, there are also their self-righteousness.
Because they have used the same method before and are very effective, this time they continued to follow it under the instigation of Zhang Yuliu.
Faced with these deadly tough elements, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun could not persuade them.
Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun sat face to face, and Xu Ying was also beside him.
"Tell me, what should I do now?"
Lu Huiqing said.
Zhang Dun smiled and said, "If the reason doesn't make sense, then you can only use your fists."
Lu Huiqing didn't say anything and looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying nodded decisively: "I agree."
Lu Huiqing's eyes showed surprise.
Xu Ying could see what Lu Huiqing meant and smiled bitterly: "I am Zhang's son-in-law, but I am also an official of the court.
This time, Brother Lu, you also saw it. I went to find my father-in-law several times and tried hard to persuade him, but it didn't make sense.
So what can I do? Look, my man ran back to his parents' home because of this!”
Lu Huiqing said: "If you really want to use your fists, it will not be possible to solve the problem by giving in to clear the fields."
Xu Ying closed her eyes: "How to change, just do it according to law."
Lu Huiqing lowered his eyes, as if he was making up his mind. After a while, he raised his head: "Apply for the imperial guards to intervene."
That night, a letter was quickly delivered to Beijing.
On the second day, an imperial guard from a camp near Bianjing set out to Chenliu County.
Public opinion in Beijing was in an uproar.
The violent resistance of the Zhang family in Chenliu County to Zhangtianmu in Qing has spread to Bianjing. Now, looking at the movements of the imperial guards, it is time to use force!
The memorial like snowflakes flew to Zhao Xu's desk.
Especially the Censor General Peng Siyong and the Censor General Jiang Zhiqi made the most intense remarks about this.
Jiang Zhiqi believed that it was a good thing to clear the fields of Zhangzhang, but it was reported that the team of Qingzhangtianmu received benefits from some people, so they divided the fields of Liangmin’s homes into the names of others, which aroused the resistance of the righteous people.
Jiang Zhiqi impeached Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun for poor leadership, and was suspected of corruption and bribery. He hoped that Zhao Xu could send supervisors to investigate the truth.
Ouyang Bian was not surprised to hear the news.
Previously, Jiang Zhiqi offended Sima Guang and others at the banquet, and the scandal of slandering the son of his benefactor who recommended him to do so was spread.
Jiang Zhiqi probably thought he also thought that this censor might have been in the near future, so he wanted to go crazy in the end.
It is understandable that Jiang Zhiqi was the last fight, but what was the Chief Censor Peng Siyong thinking?
Faced with such slander, at the court meeting, Ouyang Bian presented the work diary of the inspection team, and the signatures of the person being investigated, the signatures of the Lizheng yamen runners who participated in the inspection, the signatures of the county magistrate Xu Ying, and finally the signatures of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun. The entire data link is very clear.
Ouyang Bian also presented all the records of the fields that had been cleared, and the areas where the troubled were also marked out one by one, all of which belonged to the Zhang family.
So things became clear.
The Zhang family hid a large amount of land and did not want to pay taxes on it.
Now the opponents in the court have nothing to say.
This is how Ouyang Bian handles his affairs.
He will not leave any handle for others and will not miss the work.
Do you want to question?
OK, I will show you all the evidence. The evidence from multiple parties will form a chain of evidence that will be clear about the truth at a glance!
This is different from the way people like Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu do things.
Han Qi and others used their words to convince others, while Ouyang Bian used facts to shut up others.
At this point, Ouyang Bian believed that the next thing should be easier to advance, but unexpected things still happened.
The imperial guards stopped ten miles away from Chenliu County, and set up a tent and stopped moving forward!
Upon hearing this news, Ouyang Bian finally got angry!
The Zhang family resisted violently and the officials had many objections, and he could understand all these.
But even the army has such problems, which shows how the entire Song Dynasty turned into decay!
The Zhang family absolutely has no ability to instruct the army. Who is behind the army?
Ouyang Bian gritted his teeth.
Chapter completed!
