Comedy, tragedy, the same stage, but the time has changed and different plays have been staged.
Huang Ju suffered a major blow. Because of his "windfall", the entire Huang family fell into a situation of "endlessness". The dream of a wealthy family no longer existed, and even the family business left by the ancestors could not be maintained. .
Grandpa was bullied to death!
The coal mine has become a thorn in Huang Ju's heart, which makes it difficult to breathe.
The Huang family no longer talked about the "coal mine", but the stranger in front of them actually mentioned it again. This made Huang Ju lose his usual sense of proportion. He walked out and shouted loudly: "I don't care who you are, please leave immediately." !”
Ru Yu looked at the angry Huang Ju and said calmly: "I know you are sad, but the deceased is gone, and you still have to live. If it is true that the family moved to Beizhili as rumored outside, then the Huang family wants to live again I’m afraid it will be difficult to restore glory, right?”
Huang Xiang stopped Huang Xiang and sighed: "To be honest, sir, the government has already registered and compiled dozens of members of the Huang family, and they all need to move according to the government's order. If you have nothing else to do, sir, please come back."
Ru Yu frowned and said: "But the imperial documents clearly state that forced relocation of people is not allowed. Does the Xinzhou Prefecture really dare to disobey the imperial order?"
Huang Ju sneered and said: "The court documents are one thing, but the Xinzhou government office is another. In Xinzhou, the words of the court may not be effective, but no one can reject the words of the Xinzhou government office!"
Ru Yu sighed: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but no one can manage the government office."
Huang Xiang shook his head helplessly and was about to turn around and leave when Yang Pu said, "Can we have a look at the land sale deed of the coal mine?"
Seeing Huang Xiang's displeasure, Ru Yun cupped her hands and said, "Sorry, Brother Huang, we'll leave here after reading the land deed."
Huang Xiang didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he had to arrange for the housekeeper to get the land deed.
Yang Pu took the land deed and looked at it carefully by the light of the lantern.
The content of the land deed is very complete, including the name of the person who signed the lease, the reason for selling the land, the location of the land sale, the price, the payment situation, and it even records how to resolve any disputes if they arise.
At the end of the title deed, there are three "deposits". In addition to the buyer and seller, there is also a third-party middleman.
Land deeds for private land transactions are often divided into two categories, namely "white deed" and "red deed".
White deed, also known as grass deed, is a deed established by the buyer and seller without official verification. It is a type of land deed bound by private parties.
The red deed is also known as the official deed, which means it is stamped with the official seal of the prefecture, state, or county or the deed tail is affixed with the official typesetting and uniform printing. It is a type of land deed recognized by the government.
Looking closely at this contract, it is obvious that it has an official seal and is an official contract.
This is taken for granted. After all, it was the government that took away the coal mines. It was not easy to put a stamp on it.
But after Yang Pu read it carefully, he found that there were two sentences in it:
Huang Ju will definitely sell it and will not ask any more questions.
The land deed is settled and has no relevance.
"This is a perfect contract!"
Yang Pu said to Ru Yu.
After Ru Yu read it, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
The so-called absolute deed means that once the land sale and purchase deed is signed, there will be no more entanglements, and the land sold will have nothing to do with you anymore.
Many times, private land sales do not adopt the "exclusive contract" method, but because of the current difficulties. After selling the land, after passing through the difficult period, and then life gets better, the land can be sold according to the method stipulated in the land contract. The land they left was redeemed and bought back.
Ru Yun handed the land deed back to Huang Xiang and said, "Sorry for intruding you. Before I leave, I want to say something."
Huang Xiang frowned and said, "Sir, please speak."
Ru Yu looked up at the night sky and said: "The words of the court are more effective than the words of the prefect. Please believe this at any time."
Huang Xiang and Huang Ju looked at Ru Yu and others leaving and couldn't help but look at each other. Huang Ju asked doubtfully: "Who are they?"
Huang Xiang shook his head and sighed: "Let's go, let's go to the wake."
After leaving the Huang family, Ru Yu and Yang Pu walked in Xinzhou City.
Yang Pu found someone to ask for the direction of the government office, and said to Ru Yu: "Sir, please."
Ru Yu glanced at Yang Pu and asked, "How did you know that I was going to the magistrate's office instead of finding an inn to rest?"
Yang Pu said confidently: "The chief envoy has been waiting for us. Although your Excellency wants to visit the people, immigration is the great cause after all. Without sitting in Taiyuan Prefecture, many immigration matters cannot be decided, and time cannot be lost. Since Your Majesty has the intention to do something If the Huang family redresses their grievances, they will naturally go to court overnight..."
Ru Yu nodded and said, "Your judgment is correct, but how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Yang Pu analyzed: "The Huang family's matter can be divided into two things. One is the coal mine sale, and the other is forced immigration. The latter is easy to solve. You only need to modify the immigration yellow list to exclude the Huang family. , the matter will be solved naturally. But this coal mine matter is really tricky."
Ru Yu's face was solemn and she said in a deep voice: "It's more than just a thorny issue!"
The matter of buying and selling coal mines is not complicated in itself. A simple summary is:
Huang Ju bought the barren mountain for 1,800 taels, and then the Xinzhou government office bought the "barren mountain" back for 1,800 taels.
The key to the problem is that between buying and selling, this "barren mountain" has become a huge coal mine, and its value can no longer be measured by thousands or tens of thousands of taels.
The government office knew this and bought it for the price of the barren mountain.
What makes Rujun feel troublesome is that although the Xinzhou government office acted in a despicable manner, judging from the transaction procedures, methods, and the legality of the land deed, Xinzhou government office did not make any mistakes.
Even after looking through the "Da Ming Law", I can't find any flaws.
Yang Pu thought for a long time, and after walking two streets, he said: "The government's resumption of the land deed does not seem to violate the law, but it is obviously not in line with the transaction value. If the Huang family is willing to come forward and let the government buy and sell by force, it can be judged The land deed is invalid, but..."
Ru Yu turned her head and asked, "Just what?"
Yang Pu frowned and said: "If this is true, then the majesty of Xinzhou Prefecture will be completely lost. A government office without authority will probably have difficulty in managing the place well."
"majesty?"
Ru Yu gritted her teeth.
Yes, this is something that must be considered.
Many government agencies govern local areas not by being in harmony with the people, but by standing on the opposite side of the people and using coercive, forceful, and coercive means to manage, restrain, and govern the people.
The more ruthless the government officials are, the more fearful the people are; the more majestic the government officials are, the more obedient the people are.
If Ru Yun takes care of the prefect's government office, it will be a victory for the Huang family, a victory for the people, and a failure for the Xinzhou government office. Ru Yu can continue to stabilize people's hearts here, but if Ru Yu leaves, who will clean up the mess?
Once something happens to the Xinzhou government office in the future, the people will use the "coal mine" incident to encourage themselves, either to fight against the Xinzhou government office or to appeal to the higher level. A magistrate's office without majesty and authority cannot manage the people well.
Rujun stopped, looked at the closed magistrate's office, and said solemnly: "What they did is different from bandits? If you don't have shame, don't expect others to give you shame! If you want dignity, you need to have a heart like a mirror. Just and above all! If the people are not given an explanation for this matter, then the Xinzhou government office will truly lose its majesty!"
Yang Pu nodded heavily and agreed: "My lord, if you think so, it should be a blessing to the people."
The entourage wanted to knock on the door, but was organized by Yang Pu. Yang Pu pointed to the injustice drum on the side and said: "Use this..."
Ru Yu nodded slightly.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of drums rang in the night, alarming many people. When the government officials heard the noise, they quickly came over to check and scolded: "What is the need to beat the drum? Stop it quickly. If you beat it again, I will arrest you!" Ru Yu didn't shout to stop, so her followers naturally continued.
The dull drum beat kept coming. The prefect Wei Yonghui, who was preparing to take a rest in the back hall, heard the sound and couldn't help but go out to investigate. Not far away, he met fellow magistrate Guo Chong and tong magistrate Li Cunjin.
"Why do the drums keep beating? What do the government servants do for food?"
Wei Yonghui was annoyed by the beating of the drum and said sternly.
Li Cunjin was also a little confused. Logically speaking, such a big movement would have been passed by the government officials long ago, so why was the drum sound getting louder and louder.
When the three of them arrived at the door, they couldn't help but be surprised.
A group of government officials stood outside timidly, not daring to come forward and letting others beat the drum of grievance.
Wei Yonghui shouted angrily: "Who beats the drum to complain?"
"it's me!"
Ru Yu walked towards Wei Yonghui with fierce eyes and said in a deep voice: "Who is the magistrate of Xinzhou?"
Wei Yonghui was violently charged by Ru Yu, and his heart trembled. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and said quickly: "I am Wei Yonghui, the prefect of Xinzhou."
Ru Yu walked closer, looked at Wei Yonghui, and sneered: "In that case, let's go to the hall."
"Sheng, Shengtang?"
Wei Yonghui looked at the night sky, wondering if the person in front of him was joking. Even if you don't sleep, I still want to accompany my wife... Besides, which yamen comes to court to ask questions in the middle of the night?
"Who are you?"
Li Cunjin asked in a fierce tone.
Ru Yu glanced at Li Cunjin and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Cunjin took a step forward and said, "Xinzhou General Judge Li Cunjin!"
Ru Yu nodded slightly and said to Wei Yonghui: "I want to sue the Xinzhou magistrate Wei Yonghui, the general magistrate Li Cunjin, etc., with the power of the government, to force the Huang family to sell the coal mine worth hundreds of thousands of taels for 1,800 taels. Shan! Sue the Xinzhou government office for tampering with the court's orders and intending to forcibly relocate the people! What are you waiting for? Let's go to court!"
"You, who are you?"
Li Cunjin shouted with sweat on his forehead.
Ru Jun sneered and said: "Ordinary people also have the right to file a lawsuit and complain about their grievances. Don't forget that Taizu stipulated that if you bully the people too much, the people can arrest you and escort you to the capital for questioning!"
Can ordinary people arrest officials?
That's right!
In the eighteenth and nineteenth years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued several decrees, allowing the people to arrest corrupt officials and take them to the capital.
At that time, there were indeed people who arrested officials. For example, Chen Shouliu, a citizen of Changshu County, was oppressed and made things difficult for the county official Gu Ying. In a rage, he took his nephew and captured Gu Ying, and then went to Beijing to complain with the "Da Gao" in hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang took care of it personally and not only rewarded Chen Shou with six coins and clothing, but also exempted him from three years of corvee service.
In order to ensure the perfect implementation of this system, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered that officials who dared to obstruct the people would be severely punished. For example, "If you dare to intercept those who block it, Xiaoling orders", "Guanjin Ferry must not be blocked."
But the regulations stipulate that when there is still "officials protecting each other", after Zhu Yuanzhang killed a group of officials, he directly ordered: "Anyone who dares to stand in the way of his chief officials, chief officials, and others will be punished by his family."
The meaning is obvious: whoever dares to stop the people from arresting officials and going to Beijing will have his whole family destroyed.
As a result, many people arrested officials at that time.
It's just that this policy has huge loopholes, and it became unworkable within a few years of implementation.
The reason is simple: ordinary people cannot do the job of officials.
When the government, the village chiefs, and wealthy households join forces, and a group of thugs are there, which common people can catch him?
Moreover, some places have used Zhu Yuanzhang's order to form a bully force. They will directly frame new uncooperative county magistrates and send them to the capital...
Over time, this policy became a dead letter.
What Li Cunjin didn't expect was that even though Zhu Yuanzhang was dead and these systems had been forgotten for more than ten years, someone would actually uncover them.
This must be a traitor, it must be...
