In just one stick of incense, Chen Ze was shown off by Liu Fudong three times.
The idea of suppressing first and then promoting is really understood by this guy.
Otherwise, this guy would become the local emperor of Data Township. He really knows how to please people.
Anyway, at this time, Chen Ze fell into the gentle land without any hesitation.
Enjoying the hot pot with ginseng and hare in the service of the twin sisters, hugging a pair of small waists, and they are trained, and the attitude of refusing to welcome is just right, it is really addictive.
"Your Highness, I would like to give you a drink!"
"Come!"
Chen Ze clinked glasses with Liu Fudong and said with a smile: "Not bad, quite sensible."
"I'm just a little scared. I'm afraid that Your Highness may not be satisfied!"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Chen Ze laughed: "Since you are so sensible, I will take care of you."
Liu Fudong looked serious, and then he heard Chen Ze say with a smile but not a smile: "The palace is liquidating the land, and I am also starting to deal with the matter. If the land is reported falsely, or there are people who evade taxes, their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated."
"Executive member Liu, for the more than 1,000 acres of land of yours, I have paid you 170 acres, which is enough to cut off your head several times."
Liu Fudong was so frightened that he trembled all over and turned pale. He knelt down quickly and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness... I have been wronged!"
Seeing this, the twin sisters on the side were so frightened that they almost knelt down.
"What are you two afraid of? It's none of your business!" Chen Ze pulled the two of them back to the chair with a smile: "You are my people now, just serve me well."
Chen Ze picked up the meat and put it into his mouth. He glanced at Liu Fudong who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You know whether you are innocent or not. For the sake of offering the treasure today, I can give you a chance."
"Listen, you reported 170 acres to the Qingzhou Yamen, so you can only have 170 acres in your hands." Chen Ze said slowly: "The rest will be turned over voluntarily, and the previous one will be written off."
"Liu Fudong, the opportunity is now in front of you. It depends on whether you cherish it or not."
"Cherish, cherish, I would like to thank you for your great kindness." Liu Fudong said in panic: "I will hand it over now, I will hand it over now!"
Chen Ze waved his chopsticks: "Go!"
"Yes Yes!"
Liu Fudong stood up quickly and exited the room in embarrassment.
Chen Ze continued to eat rabbit hot pot under the service of his sisters.
Land reform is definitely not achievable at present, at least until the first five-year plan of Qingzhou is realized.
Therefore, other methods must be used to redistribute land, return land to the people, and increase people's enthusiasm for production.
There are many local tyrants and gentry like Liu Fudong whose actual land is much larger than the reported land, and they all engage in tax evasion.
Just grab this.
Since how much land has been reported, it will be liquidated according to the amount of land when the time comes. Try to ask for it to be handed over voluntarily. Let bygones be bygones, and the excess will be recovered to Qingzhou Yamen for secondary distribution at that time.
Of course, this method will definitely treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, but it is indeed the most efficient way at present, and it can appease the mood of the landlords and squires to the greatest extent.
The real liquidation will have to wait until Chen Ze's wings are hardened. Before that, try to reconcile the conflicts between the powerful and the common people.
Therefore, the cases involving the powerful are currently being suppressed, and no reexamination investigation has been initiated.
Before the time is ripe, you can only choose to turn a blind eye.
Figure it out slowly.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Not long after, Liu Fudong arrived with a rather delicate wooden box, put it aside and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, except for the 170 acres of land deeds reported, the rest All the land deeds are here.”
Chen Ze put down his chopsticks, opened the wooden box and took out a land deed.
The land deed is divided into white deed and red deed.
The white deed is a draft deed between the two parties before taxes are paid. The government does not recognize it and has no legal effect.
The red deed has been taxed and has been inspected and accepted by the government. The deed will be stamped with the tail of the white deed and reported to the government.
Without exception, they are all red deeds, indicating that they have been certified by the government.
Chen Ze didn't even ask who was in charge. He must have been sent out. After putting the land deed back in the box, he shouted out the door: "Yuanyasu."
When Li Yuankang entered the room, Chen Ze handed the box to Li Yuankang.
Seeing Liu Fudong's cowering look, Chen Zecai smiled and said: "Since everything has been turned in, then of course nothing will happen. I said that by this time, bygones are bygones, so of course the tax issue will be bygones."
Well, just taxes.
I didn’t say I wouldn’t pursue the others in the future.
When Liu Fudong heard this, he quickly knelt down and thanked him: "I thank Your Highness for your kindness."
"Okay, from now on just be a good citizen who respects and abides by the law." Chen Ze waved his hand and said: "If you have nothing to do, just go down first!"
"Yes Yes."
Liu Fudong quickly stepped back, while Chen Ze asked the twin sisters to stand up and look at them carefully.
The two girls were so stared at by Chen Ze that they felt a little frightened and did not dare to say anything.
"Turn around."
"Well, okay, the conditions are good in all aspects, sit down!"
Chen Ze invited the two of them to sit down again, and while eating, he asked, "In what year did you enter Furong Tower?"
"Seven years ago."
"Where are you from?"
"A native of Xiaotun Township, Qinghe County, Lanzhou."
"Huh? Qinghe County? Is that the place where bandits are in trouble?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
As if she was mentioning something sad, her sister Nunu's voice was a little sad: "There are us sisters and a younger brother at home. My father died early, my mother is seriously ill and has no money for medical treatment, and my younger brother is still young. I am afraid that he will starve to death and have no other way out. Then my two sisters had no choice but to go to Lanzhou to sell themselves, and were bought by the mother of Furonglou."
"Is mother still alive?"
"Left three years ago."
"Where's my brother?"
"Brother...brother..." Nunu hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Are you going up to the mountains to become bandits?"
"..."
The two women were silent for a moment and then nodded.
While talking, Chen Ze kept observing the expressions of the two of them.
If you show your true feelings, it should not be fake.
It's always a good idea to play safe.
"Want to be free?"
The two women were stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"I will take you away, free you, and let you settle down in Qingzhou." Chen Ze thought for a while and then said: "Of course, it doesn't come without a price."
Freedom and settling down seemed so unfamiliar to the two of them, and they were a little at a loss for a while.
"Do you want to?"
"Think...think."
"That's fine. I will naturally arrange everything properly when the time comes." Chen Ze added: "The price for freedom is naturally this..."
Chen Ze pointed to the other party's hand.
The two women subconsciously tilted their heads and blinked.
?
"Labor, I mean labor!"
