The autumn harvest is coming, and a big news has finally happened in the southeast inspection area.
There were a few nobles in Zhejiang and Zhejiang who were dissatisfied with the national policy of apportioning people into acres, measuring land, and clearing land deeds implemented by the imperial court, so they united with some bandits, and encouraged some local landlords and wealthy people, gave them money, and attracted many unknown people. The strong man in the situation then rebelled.
It was the morning of September 18th.
The timing of the rebellion was also well chosen. When the local state officials went to take charge of the overall situation, they directly ambush them.
As a result, the prefect died in the battle, half of the dozen officials died, and half of the local garrison died.
The remaining half were kidnapped by them.
Those who had already completed the survey of the land and some of the noble clans who had been liquidated naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble after hearing the news. This great turmoil was a waste of shields and weapons... They all forced people to rebel. The prince and the minister Why don't we stop?
As a result, some nobles arranged for people to present gifts, and took this opportunity to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and wrote a letter to impeach the Six Ministers of the Imperial Palace, the Supervisory Censor, and the Jin Yiwei for implementing the New Deal with tyrannical methods, colluding with the nobles, oppressing the people, and forcing the people to rebel, and admonished the Crown Prince. His Highness was magnanimous and generous, and at the same time formally suggested that the court should suspend land inspection operations to avoid delaying the autumn harvest.
However, Xiao Yi's response was very direct and quick.
First of all, an order was immediately issued for Yue Hongling to lead troops to suppress the bandits. Those who participated in this rebellion would only kill the leader. If the leader could be kidnapped directly and sent to the government, he would be exempted from the crime and would also receive rewards. Except for the bandit leader, the rest of the people would be According to the punishment, he was exiled to the Anbei Protectorate and served as a front-line guard for two years and fined.
Secondly, let King Yan Xiao Zheng lead people to investigate this rebellion. All the nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc. who participated in it will be punished according to their crimes. Give an explanation to the dead governor.
As for those scholars who took the opportunity to impeach the six ministers, the censor Zhongcheng, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, they were naturally taught to let them understand that once the national policy was set, there was no reason to suspend it. It was not a good policy to change the order day and night.
At the same time, it was once again stated in the Di newspaper that if anyone once again incited the people and tried to resist with arms, they should be prepared to be charged, convicted, and have their homes confiscated and exiled.
With the machine of the state running, all resistance is in vain.
After His Highness the Crown Prince's determination was clearly expressed in the Di newspaper, the sudden wave of resistance against the prosecutor immediately subsided.
Yue Hongling's suppression of bandits was also very fast because there were many people who were dissatisfied with the local gentry. In addition, Dongchang and Jinyiwei also had many spies in various places. As for the possible masterminds behind the sudden appearance of bandits, There is also some understanding.
Following the clues and scratching the surface, we soon discovered the hiding place of the gangsters.
Xiao Zheng's investigation was also very fast.
After all, once the Denwen drum is played there, the gangsters will not be able to withstand the torture, and they will recruit all they can.
The common people have long known the reputation of Dengwen Drum.
As long as the drum sounds once, Xiao Zheng will have a solution and a reason to fight.
A blood exchange operation was carried out for the local nobles in Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
Only then did the nobles in the southeast realize how much support the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom had over the years.
Only then did I realize that even if I had inherited it for a hundred years, even longer than the founding of Daqian, it was still impossible to be like the previous dynasty. A dozen or so families could unite to leverage the rule of Daqian.
The eyes of the common people have been opened by the Di newspaper.
Right and wrong.
They also all have a steelyard in their hearts.
This situation lasted for about ten days. Seeing that the autumn harvest of the twenty-sixth year of Zhenyuan had begun, it was reported that the prince of the prison country would take advantage of the situation to send officials deep into the fields in an armed manner during the autumn harvest at the end of September. , rumors of forcibly completing the final inventory.
Since then, the southeast area can be said to be in full swing, but it can also be said to be extremely quiet.
What is in full swing is the autumn harvest and the inventory work.
The common people received land given by the government and land deeds given by the government. Part of the fertile land they cultivated in the spring belonged to them permanently, which was written on their household registration.
In other words, the grain in this fertile field belongs to their family. As long as the autumn harvest is completed and the harvested grain is used to pay a small autumn tax, there will still be a lot left over. These are also their own grain. , you can save it to eat, or you can take it to the county town and sell it.
With the land title, you have confidence, hope and a home.
The people naturally cooperated actively, and when they saw the officials, they greeted them with a smile, and even expressed gratitude!
From now on, you can really live a good life.
The ones who were extremely quiet were naturally the nobles, merchants, etc., who watched their land being divided, watched the officials measure the land, and watched the farmers who got the land start harvesting grain the next day.
They were heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do.
Those who resisted will never see the sun the next day.
They could only hold their noses and admit it.
Fortunately, the ensuing benevolent policy of never increasing taxes fell on them first.
It can be regarded as a consolation.
Then, there was the liberalization of the Southeast Shipyard, which meant that the nobles in the Southeast could pay their own money, rent land from the government, then build shipyards, build their own ships, use them for sailing, or sell them.
At the same time, Di Bao also encouraged wealthy businessmen in the southeast not to focus on land.
We can definitely increase our efforts to build factories. The Ministry of Industry has created textile machines.
They can learn how to make textile machines from the Ministry of Industry, and then make their own textile machines and start textile factories.
Today's Daqian territory is vast, and the population will increase in the future, and the demand for cloth will also increase. With the development of navigation, there will be a huge demand for cloth and silk.
If many textile mills are built and a lot of cloth is produced every year, a lot of money can be made.
Xiao Yi had a dream. When he went to a museum, he saw several styles of textile looms.
After waking up from the dream, I found Chen Gui from the Ministry of Industry, described the appearance of the textile machine I saw, and then asked the Ministry of Industry to find a way to make it.
What Xiao Yi saw was an improved textile machine, which was much more advanced than the textile machines currently used by Daqian.
With this advanced textile machine, we can definitely improve the efficiency of textiles and promote the development of the textile industry.
It can be said that Xiao Yi has greatly reduced the impact of land annexation and the impact on the development of the southeast after the implementation of policies such as apportioning land into acres.
Because of the differences in regional development, compared with the north and southeast, the southeast is more suitable for people to live.
The development of Daqian ultimately depends on the development of the southeast, so the southeast is very important.
Under Prince Xiao Yi's tough attitude, tough methods, and even his personal control.
At the end of October.
Daqian finally completed the autumn harvest in the twenty-sixth year of Zhenyuan.
This year was naturally considered a bumper harvest.
For the common people, it is an unprecedented harvest.
Because they have a lot more food in their hands and a lot more money, it will naturally be a good harvest year.
