Chapter 2589 innocent
What is the difference between the two sons' political opinions?
In addition to his talent and character, Zheng Fei does everything else that doesn't make Zheng Boming happy. Their father and son are also at odds with each other. Just like him and his fifth brother, they get along well in daily life, but as long as they talk about family development, ideals in life, and training of disciples, then there will be quarrels, and basically you will be in vindictiveness all your life.
But no one said they wanted to kill each other. It was just a matter of disagreement. Some people like to eat cabbage, while others like to eat radishes. Does he have to ask everyone in the world to like cabbage like him?
Neither do brothers.
Patriarch Zheng couldn't bear this sigh in his heart. If Zheng Dalang didn't know about his wife and nephew's hand, he would not let him go;
If Zheng Dalang joins forces with his wife and nephew, he will not let each other go. In his opinion, his good sons are all provoked by the Sun family.
As the son of an aristocratic family, the county magistrate Guo, who knew a lot about the Zheng family, could think of what the patriarch Zheng was thinking.
He is still His Majesty's confidant.
It's just that it's hard to find evidence for this. I'm afraid that even if the bandits are suppressed, there is no evidence that the patriarch Zheng instructed.
But sometimes, it is this paradoxical state of affairs that is most tormenting and emotionally draining.
Patriarch Zheng will think, you have no evidence to prove that I did it, but you have always suspected me. Is it because you do not trust me?
The Sun family would think, your two sons killed each other, but you took my son out to get angry, and he was tied up when he came out of Xingyang. If it wasn't the Zheng family who did it, they couldn't believe it.
Man Bao was confused, and asked, "Is that really what the patriarch Zheng did? Why doesn't he stay away before doing it? Isn't this taking the initiative to arouse suspicion?"
The county magistrate said, "Maybe Patriarch Zheng thinks the same way?"
Man Bao was stunned and shook his head after a long pause, "No, this is all speculation. If people are so suspicious, there are still many possibilities. How can the judgment be so conscientious? You have to find evidence, right?"
County magistrate Guo looked at her from top to bottom, "Master Zhou is wise, such suspicion cannot be used as the standard for our judgment, even people like Patriarch Zheng know it, but how many people in this world can really not guess people's hearts? Among them, how many of them can be doubted without using their own guesses?"
The magistrate Guo affirmed: "Except for a few ministers in the court, I'm afraid even His Majesty can't do it, right?"
Yes, the emperor really couldn't do it, he couldn't help discussing with Wei Zhi at this time, whether the Zheng family wanted to turn against the Sun family.
He only met Yin Li this morning and learned about Sun Zhi's disappearance.
Then he was sprayed by Wei Zhi, he said: "Your Majesty should order the local officials to investigate this case as soon as possible, and exterminate the mountain bandits, especially the latter, if the mountain bandits are allowed to run rampant, not only the local people will be afraid, but the merchants passing by will also be uneasy. If things go on like this, the trade route will not stop, and it will also hit the traders along the way.”
This is a major event involving people's livelihood and taxation. You, an emperor, still have time to eat melons and gossip here, and is it a good thing for bandits to appear outside Xingyang?
Do you want to take a little longer and worry about things like the Zheng family's private support?
The world has only been stable for decades?
At present, the power of the big clans in many places is still far above the imperial court. If people want to oppose you, although there is a small probability that they will succeed, it is still more than enough to grab a few cities and play for a few years, okay?
The emperor was slapped by Wei Zhi, and he finally got his job done. At the same time, he ordered the local officials in the Xingyang area to conduct self-examination, and they must eliminate the bandits and ensure the safety of the people and business travelers along the way;
On the other hand, he issued another decree to appease the Sun family.
Then he turned his head to take care of Qizhou's investigation.
Lord Tang went to the palace to report.
The situation in Qizhou does not appear to be serious on the surface, but once you investigate and think deeply, the situation is very bad.
When the previous dynasty fell, the people were displaced, many people left their hometowns and fled, some villages or even the whole villages were empty, and some villages only had one or two households, which left a large area of uncultivated. land.
Plus the people who died in the war...
Anyway, at the beginning of the establishment of Dajin, there were large tracts of farmland that were abandoned.
Most of these lands were taken over by the imperial court as state-owned, and a small part was occupied by the local clans who had not left, and were directly marked as their own land.
Some people were nationalized without showing their land certificates, some people bribed officials and subordinates to supplement the land certificates, and some people directly forged the land certificates.
But most of the land was taken over by the imperial court and local yamen.
Then the court began to collect the refugees. Those who were exiled to the local area were generally not sent back to their hometowns, but were directly collected in the local area.
This is divided into a batch of land, and the rest is divided into fields by the population every year, and the rest is still in the hands of the local yamen.
Some of these fields are being cultivated by prisoners sentenced by the yamen, as well as hired day laborers and long-term laborers, but most of them are abandoned there.
Not long after ascending the throne today, the imperial court once issued a policy in order to prevent the land from being too wasteful. People who have already divided their fields and lost their land, as well as refugees, can reclaim wasteland and cultivate it for more than three years as his Yongye Field...
You can also use money and grain to buy land with the court, but the land buyer's personal name of Yongye Field should not exceed 20 acres.
In other words, only good people with less than 20 acres of Yongye field can buy land with the local yamen.
The land in the capital and Yongzhou was almost sold, especially the land in Gongzhong, which was not only to be distributed to the newly minted good people, but also to be used as the field of the court.
Further out, there is more land in Shangzhou, Fengzhou and Qizhou.
The Zheng family and the Hejian County King bought the land first, using the names of a large number of their tenant farmers to buy a large amount of land from the Qizhou Governor's Mansion, and then the tenant farmers passed over to their own names, basically just changing hands.
Li Shangshu, on the other hand, waited for a period of time to resell it to the Ministry of Households, thus achieving the final achievement.
The Zheng family, however, took control of a large area of land in Qizhou after switching hands.
And there are many people who do this with the Zheng family.
And this is just one of the problems. Another big problem is that the price of the Zheng family's acquisition of these fields is less than one-third of the initial consultation between the Ministry of Housing and the Qizhou Governor's Office.
Even Li Gong, the king of Hejian County, spent more for the eight hectares of land than the Zheng family paid for ten hectares of land.
Of course, the prefect of Qizhou also had reasons, and the imperial court did grant him this right, unless he could find evidence that he benefited from the Zheng family.
However, the people from the Censor's Office and the Dali Temple of the Xing Department did not find any evidence for a long time.
At the beginning, the steward sent by the Hejian County King to buy land directly used the post of the Hejian County Prince to oppress people, and he did not give anyone bribes, so the prefect of Qizhou said confidently that he did not ask the Hejian County King for bribes. How could he ask the Zheng family for bribes?
He is innocent!
Bai Shan and Man Bao said, "Your Majesty is very angry, and asked me to draft an edict to summon the prefect of Qizhou to Beijing. Now that people have left the capital, I will see this prefect of Qizhou in a few days."
See you at 6 pm
