That Jingzhao Yin seems to have disappeared now, and he has not caused any trouble for himself. He went to Huang Qiong. Both the East Palace and the Jingzhao Mansion were silent and did not make any statements. But Huang Qiong also knew that this was probably the last bit of tranquility before a shocking change.
Huang Qiong knew that he could not hide his anger from his old emperor at all that day in the refugee area. This old man of mine is very strict with himself. The dogs outside the door did not all withdraw because the relationship between father and son seemed to have eased.
Under such circumstances, can that matter be hidden from the old man? The old man is either waiting for the opportunity or investigating secretly. Once the time comes, although Jing Zhaoyin said that it is unlikely that he will go to heaven, after all, the old man does not look at the monk's face, but he still has to look at the Buddha's face.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of the prince, he would still be for the sake of his father, the Marquis of Wuchang, so he wouldn't be too harsh on him. In this matter, the old man will not hurt the old minister's face too much. But it is estimated that this official may not be able to continue, at least in this position of Jing Zhaoyin, he has reached the end.
Although Jing Zhaoyin's position was the third-rank official in the Qi Dynasty who was most criticized, the key was that his position was too important. Although he was in charge of the capital, he had no military power, but if there was any trouble in the government, he would get the news faster than anyone else. The most important thing is that the top can make friends with the center, and the bottom can connect with the external princes.
In addition, the most beautiful place at the feet of the emperor is so fat that it can be said to be flowing with oil. Although there are many dignitaries in Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Yin often gets angry. But this Jingzhao Yin is divided into different people. For ordinary people, even those with a Jinshi degree are naturally a receiving official.
But for those with strong backgrounds, this Jing Zhaoyin is no ordinary fat vacancy. At least the current Jing Zhaoyin, with the support of the prince, did not buy into many dignitaries in the city. Every inch of land in the inner city is precious, and there are many ways to make money. As Jing Zhaoyin, relying on lawsuits to make money is the lowest form of behavior.
My brothers are probably all staring at this position like hungry wolves. It is estimated that once the old man's investigation results come out, even if the prince uses all his strength to keep this person, his brothers will not let him get what he wants.
If that Jing Zhaoyin was really dismissed from his post. Even if he were not sent to that corner, the prince who had his money bag cut off would probably regard him as his mortal enemy. Although he didn't want to offend the prince too thoroughly at this time, he now had no way out.
I'm afraid the old man has also noticed this. Otherwise, he would not have replaced most of his guards not long after he came back after accompanying him for a tour of the refugee area. The guards sent by the prince, except for a few people he left behind, were all sent back to the East Palace.
Huang Qiong, who was lying in the tub, closed his eyes and put a handful of water on his head. Thinking of the abilities of his guards, he still sighed slightly in his heart. The prince knew that no matter how he came, he was not afraid. What I'm most worried about now is that this guy is doing something evil. Are these guards sent by the old man really capable of protecting themselves?
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart. What he is looking forward to most now is the early return of Chen Yao, who has been gone for almost two months. Even if you only bring back a few people, you can at least relieve yourself of the urgent need of having no one available.
Opening his eyes and looking at Tingting and the other three girls who were waiting for him to take a bath, Huang Qiong shook his head helplessly in his heart: "How could I become like this? My mother once said , I have a peach-shaped face, and I am not a woman’s lover at all. I used to be a little dissatisfied, but now I see that I have really complied with what my mother said."
Looking at the three enchanting beauties around him, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly. Now I am basically not rejecting some of Li Hai's arrangements. Although Chen Yao always felt sorry for herself because she was running alone outside, she never thought of correcting herself.
Although I have repeatedly told myself that sex is like a bone scraper and that I cannot continue to be so ridiculous, at this moment, I still can't control myself. Although this is in heaven, it is nothing at all. My brothers, whether they are married or not, are probably surrounded by a lot of women.
In the eyes of the emperor, King Yong's absurdity was just this guy. Not only did he have a bunch of women in the house, but he even ate wild food when he was interested. But even though he said this, Huang Qiong, who had lived in two lifetimes, knew the absurdity of what he did.
Just when Huang Qiong was thinking wildly, Tingting's voice came to her ears: "Your Majesty, the water is cold. Are we adding some hot water for you? Or are the slaves taking care of you to rest?" Since Huang Qiong After accompanying her on a family visit, this girl seemed to have become the first of the three girls, and she was basically the one who spoke.
Hearing this, Huang Qiong waved his hands and stood up. As soon as he dried himself off, the three women wrapped themselves around him like snakes, making another night of absurdity happen. But after this night of absurdity, although Huang Qiong was a little tired, she felt much better. He already had a certain idea about what the old man told him, and he also came up with corresponding instructions.
Just seeing Huang Qiong's thoughts, Jia Quan couldn't help being surprised and said: "My lord, do you know what is waiting for you as soon as this document is submitted? Even if the emperor keeps it in mind, this news may not be It will really be concealed. Once word spreads, you will become the mortal enemy of the clan in the world. "
"Also, you changed Yongye Field to the salary system, and the imperial court adopted the method of redeeming the land under the name of each clan, whether you owned Yongye Field or not. Do you have a standard in your mind? First, take back Yongye Field. Change to the salary system. How to determine this salary? It is based on the standards before the princes and princes took over the feudal clan. Do you think these clans can agree to it? "
"Before the prince came to the feudal lord, there were only a few members in the family, and the salary was enough to ensure their prosperity. But those families from other places have already had children in their families. According to the current situation, it is impossible for them to agree to the salary and salary of the feudal prince. . Especially among the clans at present, the salaries of those with the largest number of princes or princes cannot meet their needs. "
"According to the current customs made by the imperial court, the annual salary of the prince who has not yet become a vassal is 5,000 guan yuan and 5,000 shi of grain. This standard does at least seem to be a lot for a child who has not yet opened a mansion. Of course, this is only a customization. , In fact, before Jin was granted the title of prince, the county prince only received one hundred guan of pocket money every month because he lived in the palace."
"The rest of the money was all allocated in one lump sum after the prince of Jin Dynasty left the palace and settled in the palace, together with the money allocated by the emperor from the inner treasury and the prince's first-year salary. As for those who have been in the feudal clan for many years, For the princes of foreign vassals who have a large family and a large family, this money may not be enough for them to spend."
"Unless they really want to tighten their belts and lead a life of debauchery, these five thousand guan of money plus five thousand shilumi are simply not enough for them. You have probably read these files. Have you ever thought about how long these stipends will be enough for these clans to live according to their current luxurious lifestyle? I’m afraid a year’s stipend can’t even last for two months.”
"This has not yet taken into account whether the imperial court can afford the salaries of these clans. During the Huaiyang Rebellion, although the number of clans, especially the number of clans with high titles, was already less than 40-50% of the previous number. But together with the subsequent sealing, As well as those who have been ennobled in the past two years, there are currently 17 people at the county king level, and a full 56 people at the county prince level."
"At present, the imperial court spends a lot of money every year, but the land tax, which is the main annual income, is decreasing every year, and it has almost reached the point where it cannot make ends meet. At present, the court officials, except for the military attachés and the army, who have no salary arrears and can be guaranteed to be paid in full. The salary of civil servants is basically They are all at a 30% discount. Coupled with the salaries of such a large number of clans, it will be difficult for the court to afford them."
"There is also the redemption of the land occupied by the clan. How much money does the court have to spend to meet the needs? Let's not talk about whether the court can come up with such a large sum of money, but it can come out. But how to set this standard? On average, one acre in the northwest every year Should the land that can only produce three shi of grain be treated the same as the land in the southeast that can produce 30 shi of grain per acre?"
"How to determine the middle standard between fertile land and poor land, irrigated land and dry land? How to distinguish the northwest from the rich southeast in order to be accepted by those clans? Besides, doing this is almost equivalent to re-measure the number of acres in the world. Yes. Who among them can guarantee that those clans will not join forces with local officials to commit fraud and turn bad land into fertile land?"
"Also, there are not a few people with two to three hundred thousand acres of land in their clan names. Calculated based on fifty thousand guan for one acre of medium-sized land, how much money does the court need to take back these 200,000 acres of land? Now? How can the imperial court, which cannot even pay out salaries in full, have such huge financial resources now?"
"Your Majesty, Quan has been wondering over the past few days why the emperor suddenly decided to reorganize the clan, but after thinking about it, he has a certain clue. In addition to the fact that the clan now occupies land, it has become a trend that cannot be lost, and it has reached the point of anger and resentment. One very critical point is that the annual income, which is mainly based on land tax, is probably becoming more and more difficult."
"Why the clan is so desperate to occupy the land, in the final analysis, it comes down to the word 'profit'. No matter how many fields they occupy, they don't need to pay for food, and they don't even need to pay a penny of donations. And there is no small amount of money or shortfall money." People dare to harvest from them. The more land they have in their name, the more grain they harvest, and the more grain they harvest, the richer they become."
"Your Majesty, in many cases, even in many places, money may not be money, but food is always the most valuable. No matter in prosperous times or troubled times, food is a wealth that will never fall. Although the world is big, who can guarantee that Is there good weather every year in the world and no disasters? If you stockpile food in your hands and turn it over in a disaster year, the profit will be dozens of times greater. Isn’t it far more than a salary?"
"Quan now wants to rectify the clan, and the only thing he has been thinking about over and over again is how to get rid of their huge profits. As long as they occupy the land, there is no benefit. No, to be precise, they cannot bring about such huge profits as now. Do you think they will still be unscrupulous and use any means to seize the land?"
"Only solving the root cause is the best solution. Quan thought, we should start from this point. People in the world are bustling, all for fame and fortune. Without huge profits, naturally they have no interest. So Quan I think we still have to start from this aspect.”
