Chapter 401: Killing Tactics
When it comes to playing these conspiracies, the ten Guo Dan is not the opponent of an official. The most sinister place in the world is the officialdom. No matter how conscientious you are, you can see the officialdom. The people who can gain a foothold in the officialdom are definitely not ordinary people.
The officials are truly perfect in fighting for power and profit.
They would not say that before Guo Dan returned to the future, they forced the people to riot. They just happened to be stuck on this red line. If you take a step forward, it would be a deep abyss and something would definitely happen.
Now the entire Kaifeng Mansion is already a pressure cooker. If you move a little, you may explode.
Having said that, this is still a matter of rhythm. It depends on who is going on in the rhythm. Guo Dan wants to play with them like this, which is definitely a dead end.
"Sir, look at it."
An adjutant beside Dong Ping suddenly pointed forward.
Dong Ping immediately raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw that there were so many people gathering here like locusts.
The team stopped immediately.
"Sir, should you send more people here quickly?"
The adjutant said again.
Dong Ping looked ahead, and after a while, he said, "No, you can just protect the carriage."
"Affect the order."
Seeing that the team suddenly stopped, Guo Dan couldn't help but lift the curtain and asked nervously: "Mr. Dong, what happened?"
He was not afraid of anything else. He was afraid of being beaten when he was away. He had already told Yang Feixu that if there was danger, he would never care about his reputation. Brother Zai Shifted first. Brother is not only a hero, but also a bear.
Dong Ping turned around and said, "I think it was the people who came to welcome you. After all, you are in their hearts in time."
“Rain in time?”
Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "My surname is Guo, but not Song."
"I'm not that black whirlwind, either."
Could it be that Dong Ping, who is serious, is humorous? It seems that he is also a Water Margin fan?
The team continued to move forward, and gradually, the road was full of people, and there was no end to see it, but everyone was very quiet. They just stood obediently on both sides and looked into the carriage with anticipation.
Suddenly, a young man mustered up the courage to ask Dong Ping: "Dare you ask, sir, is Guo Dan in the carriage?"
Dong Ping glanced at the young man, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Guo Dan! It's really Guo Dan!"
"Guo Dan is here!"
"Guo Dan is here!"
"Guo Dan is finally here!"
“Oh oh-----!”
In an instant, the whole crowd immediately became boiling!
The cheers were shaking the earth.
Many people were filled with tears in their eyes, and many people sang and danced.
It really seemed like a timely rain.
Even the very cold Yang Feixu couldn't help but feel moved when she saw this scene, but she looked at Guo Dan's carriage with a hint of surprise in her eyes. How could this big profiteer be so popular?
She didn't know how hard the people of Kaifeng Prefecture were looking forward to in one day. They could persist and not be refugees. It was all up to Guo Dan, which was almost becoming a belief.
The main reason is that Wei Hui Mansion has risen too hard, which is a change that can be seen by the naked eye.
Who wouldn't want to be contracted by Guo Dan for ordinary people in Henan?
They seem to have seen their bright future.
The people in Henan Prefecture over there were all crying to death. Why weren’t we contracted? Recently, some Henan Prefectures have actually come to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Dong Ping didn't want to arrest them. Henan Prefecture is much more stable than Kaifeng Prefecture. You are still here, which is really a cause for your own suffering.
Such loud cheers really scared Aunt Xu. She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the people's excitement and excitement, but her face showed sorrow.
With this situation, how can they tax them in the future!
If we look at the interests, Guo Dan is not on their side, but on the opposite side of them. Why did the court send Guo Dan to come? It was because he asked him to make money, not because he came here to enjoy the cheers.
"A bitch raised, he actually used a despicable and shameless trick like "praising and killing".
Guo Dan put down the curtains and couldn't help but laugh and scold, but then sneered: "It's a pity that you don't know that capitalists are more inhuman than you."
It was a long way from here to the government office, but the cheers did not stop for a moment. I went to the government office. When Guo Dan and Aunt Xu entered the lobby of the government office, their ears were still buzzing, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"If it's okay, I'll leave first."
Of course, Dong Ping would not welcome Guo Dan. Guo Dan is not at this level, and the two have no friendship.
Guo Dan said: "Please help me post a notice. From now on, any land transaction is strictly prohibited. Once it is found, the transaction will be confiscated."
Dong Ping was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "They should have finished trading this long ago. You are only here to limit it now, it's too late."
Guo Dan sighed bitterly: "I have no choice but to hide it from you. The court asked me, a businessman, to implement the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce. Then I have to express it, but I don't understand these things very well. I only know that restricting land transactions should be considered valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce!"
Dong Ping almost laughed, it sounded too ironic, and nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements later."
After seeing Dong Ping off, Guo Dan returned to the chair, and collapsed on the chair as if he was so angry that he was so angry that he collapsed on the chair, holding his cheek with one hand and tilting his head. He looked at the stunning Aunt Xu next to him with a stunning face and said pitifully: "Aunt, what should we do?"
Aunt Xu glanced at him a little, and said, "You may not adopt my solution."
Guo Dan said: "If you don't accept it, why did I spend so much effort to invite you to come?"
Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "You are not too strong."
“……!”
Guo Dan was embarrassed and speechless.
Aunt Xu said again: "My method will immediately re-register the household registration, measure the land, and return the illegally occupied land to the people. If the people get the land, they will naturally be willing to pay taxes."
"I fully agree with the lay Buddhist's method."
Guo Dan nodded vigorously, changed the subject and said, "But the question is how can I take back the land from the landlords and vassal kings?"
Aunt Xu said: "This is back to the issue we discussed before. It is the issue of the vassal kings. Although those gentry have tax exemption privileges, they also have restrictions. They illegally occupy or exceed the tax exemption limit. As long as evidence is found and the army is used, they can still force them to pay taxes. The key is the land of the vassal kings.
This Kaifeng Prefecture is another grand royal residence. These royal families have been here for generations, and their descendants have been spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture.
The local government can no longer afford it, so many royal families cannot get the land they should have, but this is just the government restricted it. If the land is classified under their name, they have not violated the rules in terms of system."
Now it is impossible for the court to allocate the full quota to the descendants of the vassal kings.
A minimum of 200 shi of grain is given every year, the highest is 10,000 shi a year, and many titles are worth thousands of shi. Kaifeng Prefecture is full of princes, and there are many royal families like dogs. How can this be afforded?
Those landlords often collude with the vassal kings. You can’t use the tax quota anyway, so why not give it to us and we will give you some benefits. This has become a very mature system.
On the contrary, many officials were trying their best to restrict them, because if all the taxes were given to the vassal kings, they would be insured if they gave them to the court, and they would have to make some money themselves.
The emperor often rewarded the royal family with a thousand acres, while the officials only divided the 100 acres, or even dozens of acres. As for their descendants, they would not give it to them directly.
If the prince was not too close, the emperor would not have asked too much, and he would starve to death if he starved to death.
Of course, there are also many officials colluding with them.
It can be seen that everything in the officialdom is very complicated, with no black or white, and no absolute, and it cannot be said in one word.
However, Guo Dan's intrusion made everything very simple, and the officials left it alone. The landlords quickly divided the tax on the land into the names of those royal families.
Taizu got what he wanted. The descendants of their Zhu family lived a very comfortable life. It shouldn’t be that someone cooked a pot in the late Ming Dynasty, but it doesn’t matter if the white jade is slightly flawed.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have to talk to those vassal kings."
Aunt Xu asked, "Have you ever talked to Your Majesty about this?"
"Little mentioned."
Guo Dan sighed: "But Your Majesty just allows me to talk to them. To be honest, I don't dare to say anything, because according to our dynasty system, you don't know which vassal king may become... You know, if you win the prize, your whole family will definitely die."
Many emperors of the Ming Dynasty took office from vassal kings.
Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "If your Majesty's will, how could you take the land back from them?"
Guo Dan said: "Motivate him with emotion and explain him with reason."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I wish you success."
"Thank you!"
Guo Dan stood up.
Aunt Xu asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go and talk to the King of Zhou!"
This Zhou King is the largest vassal king in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture and the largest vassal king in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not because they are all smart, but because his bloodline is very capable of reproduction. Some vassal kings have a high starting point, but because they are not able to reproduce, they eventually decline. Whether this vassal king is strong depends entirely on reproduction ability.
"Go now, you have just arrived." Aunt Xu said in surprise.
Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "It is because he just arrived that he had to say hello quickly, express his sincerity, and become familiar with him. If he can't continue playing and goes to find them, they will not leave me."
A trace of doubt flashed in Aunt Xu's eyes, but she didn't say much, nodded and said, "You're right."
At this time, two guards walked in with two stacks of books.
Guo Dan pointed to the side and said, "Let's put it on the table first." As he said, he said to Aunt Xu again, "Lapishman, this is the land of Kaifeng Prefecture, so please help me see it. Just give me an answer at that time. I will gain unconditional trust in the lay Buddhist."
You are really good at talking. Do I need to lie about this? Aunt Xu nodded without showing any expression.
"Then I'll go to visit the King of Zhou!"
"Please."
