Chapter 189: The Son of Heaven's Decision(2/2)
Thinking of this, his eyes began to look carefully on the silk book.
"Sun Chenjin, my servant was ordered to take charge of Xinfeng's affairs, and he was ignorant to report to His Majesty: The book says: I was awake at night, and the poem says: I was trembling, like walking on thin ice..." He read it while chanting softly.
As he read, his face gradually became serious.
"In the past, Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong, Chao Cuo wrote a letter saying: If the people are poor, evil will be born. If the poor are poor, the lack of poverty will be born in the lack of farming... Also, it is said: Now the family of five farmers, there are no less than two people serving..."
"I am now traveling between Xinfeng's neighbors and asking their fellow villagers, witnessing the poverty and despair of the people and the breeding of evil spirits, and I am heartbroken. I am so sad that I will report to Your Majesty: Now the family of five farmers, there are no less than two serving people, and the number of farming is less than fifty acres..."
"A year of income is only a hundred stones of grain, and the tax of thirty is four stones, and the remaining ninety six stones are 96, and the food is one and a half stones per month, and five people are ninety stones per year, and the remaining six stones are 600 stones. It is not enough to pay taxes to calculate the money, and the money raised by the party in Chuyu Township, and the taxes urged by labor labor, the people have to borrow money from merchants... So old cannot be warm, young cannot be raised, and a little drought, the people only cry and cry, selling children and wife among the powerful... Xinfeng's household registration has not increased at the age of fifteen. The people who have registered households fled to the powerful houses, hid in merchant households, died as sons-in-law, and there were thousands of knights... "
"The Han ancestor system used a man with a narrow man and five mouths to manage hundreds of fields to establish the country. However, the farmers who saw me and Xinfeng had less than eleven of them..."
"Among the village party, the powerful are weak and colluded with clerks to disrupt the law. The people are really in danger of carrying eggs!"
"As I investigated, the powerful gentry and merchants in Xinfeng townships were less than twelve people, but their land, wealth and goods occupied had exceeded 80%. However, the taxes were only 20%... and the rest were diluted to the common people's homes... In this way, the rich became richer, the poor were more poor, and the rich eventually became richer, and the poor had no place to stand..."
At the end of the silk book, the investigation reports of ten households were appended, all of which were question-and-answers recorded in written form.
After closing the silk book, the emperor's hands had already risen.
He leaned back slightly, leaned against the collapse, and let out a long breath.
This memorial was jointly written by Changsun and Zhang Zizhong, and it should not be a lie.
In other words, this talks about the facts at the grassroots level.
No matter what, he never expected that at the feet of this emperor, the grassroots level in Xinfeng County under the rule of Jingzhao Yin had become so decayed!
This is true in Xinfeng, what about other places?
What about the Kanto region?
"These powerful men, these worms!" He grabbed the silk book hard and cursed fiercely: "Is it so bold that I really think my knife is not good?"
At this moment, he was almost impulsive to immediately summon the eagle dogs such as the Jinwu Wang Mang, the Censor General Bao Shengzhi and others to come here to see him.
Then……
In the Dasuo Guanzhong, a great prison was launched, and all the damn powerful men and clerks were arrested one by one.
He has done such a thing.
The policy of reporting and sacrificing money during the Yuanding period was that he could wash away the merchants and powerful men in the world and the marquises of the Han Dynasty in one breath.
The head cut off is not ten thousand, and there are eight thousand.
only……
After thinking about it, he finally calmed down.
Guanzhong is no better than the counties and states in Guandong.
In the Guanzhong area, all parties were mixed. In addition to the landlords and powerful people, there were also a group of nobles in the pillars of the Han Empire.
The landlord, powerful literati and doctor, killing ten thousand people is as easy as slaughtering a dog.
Because these people have no other power except their mouths and pens.
But the military achievements and nobles are different.
In addition to their mouths and pen holders, they also have guns to defend them.
At the beginning, he was able to stop waiting with the gold medal because he was protected by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
The emerging military aristocrats had long wanted to seize power.
However, now, there is no such foundation.
Although the rise of Li Guangli, the Hou of Haixi, led to the rise of new forces within the Han army.
However, Li Guangli was not as powerful as Weihuo Group after all.
Moreover, in my heart, Li Guangli was not as relieved as Wei Huo.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, the emperor ordered: "Summon Changsun and the minister Zhang Zizhong to come here to see me!"
After thinking about it, he ordered again: "Go and summon Jingzhao Yin Yu Jiyan!"
Jingzhao Yin is the head of the civil servants responsible for governing the Gyeonggi area. Now that Xinfeng has become like this, he of course needs to ask, what did Zhi Jinwu grow up with?
"No!" An eunuch immediately took the order and left.
"Summoning the Chief Censor again!" The emperor suddenly called him and added an order.
The grassroots level is so bad that the censors are responsible for supervision, but they do not report it in time.
As the Chief Censor, the responsibility of Bao Shengzhi cannot be escaped.
Of course, the emperor also understood that the situation has evolved to the present situation, and his own responsibilities will definitely not be able to be removed.
but……
How could the emperor be wrong?
The one who is wrong must be a minister!
So in fact, I called Bao Shengzhi just to find a scapegoat to get rid of the blame.
Chapter completed!
