Chapter 1393 liquidation
Xingyang.
On the east tour, Xingyang Camp.
When the emperor saw Kan Ling's report, he picked up two reports from the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Office, read it for a while and then put it down.
"Kan Ling is still a little impatient and is too straightforward. In fact, you can be more patient and do better."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I think General Kan is decisive. Since Jiangxi has surrendered and now he is thinking about these little thoughts, he naturally cannot tolerate them. If he tolerate them, the more he will be more arrogant, and he is afraid that the situation will be even more ugly. This is good now. He cuts the mess with the powerful and thunderous power, and then he can free up his hands to provide relief to the disaster and the people. Jiangxi has been struggling under the hands of the Lin brothers in recent years. Now there are refugees everywhere, bandits and bandits, and the poor have no place to stand. The powerful military leaders have taken the opportunity to merge, and even many Buddhist Taoists have taken the opportunity to run to Jiangxi to expand there."
If the court does not quickly stop this unhealthy trend and reorganizes Jiangxi, it is afraid that this good place in the fishing and rice town will be devastated and will be cleaned up again at that time, but I don’t know how much effort it will take.
The emperor sighed a few times while sitting on the chair.
Jiangxi has been in the hands of Lin Shihong over the years. In the early years, there were warlords in Jiangxi fighting at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then they were robbed by bandits and bandits. They were so uneasy that Lin Shihong unified Jiangxi, but they were plundered by the Lin family. At most, the small Jiangxi Road had a military force of more than 100,000.
"We should get rid of the chaos during the Lin family as soon as possible, and we should promptly eliminate the chaos and rebellion. Kan Ling confiscated all the fields, houses and workshops in Jiangxi, and I don't think anything is wrong. Then, Lin Pharmacist alone occupied more than 100,000 acres of land. Should we leave them all for him?" The secretary and the secretary Wang also believed that there was no need to treat the Lin brothers too favorably.
"The saint had previously granted Lin Shihong the title of Duke of the County and gave him a real fief, but as a result, Lin Yaoshi was in such a rebellion in Jiangxi. I think it is necessary to deal with Lin Shihong. Ask the saint to surrender Lin Shihong, take back his real fief, and confiscate all his property in Jiangxi."
Wei Zheng followed the song and said, "You can change the title of Lin Shihong to a lifelong marquis, such as a marquis who is ordered to keep him in Luoyang's house. All the land, houses and other property in Jiangxi are confiscated to show punishment."
Yaoshi Lin died, three-foot white silk hanged to death, and reported that he died suddenly. This was considered to have given Lin Shihong some face. Otherwise, if Yaoshi Lin was dealt with on publicly on the crime of treason, Lin Shihong would not be able to escape.
Luo Cheng did not object.
"Since Kan Ling has already started this, I'd better do it to the end and take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up Jiangxi places, from officials to officials, carefully review and check, and replace all those with problems. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War of the Court will seize the time and draw a group of elite soldiers from all over the place to fill the gaps. The yamen must be operated and not stopped."
"Also, for these powerful and powerful gentry in the local area, I mean that I can first move some of the bad reputation to Liujing to resettlement, check their industries, and those who have plundered and occupied the merger will be cleared. Of course, if it is a ancestral property, it should be protected."
The emperor had two attitudes towards the officials in Jiangxi and the powerful local households. He resolutely cleared the officials, leaving only a small number of people with real reputation and talent, but most of them had to be transferred to other places.
For the powerful households and the strongest, those who were moved directly to the Six Capitals, to enrich the Six Capitals, and to remove the influence and interference of these local major forces on the local area, which is conducive to the imperial court's takeover of Jiangxi.
Taking this opportunity, we can also check the industries of these people, and all kinds of illegal gains and any forced occupation and robbery must be cleaned up.
"After these black properties are cleared out and confiscated, the official fields will be cleared, and then the people of Jiangxi can equalize the fields. For mountainous areas with narrow land and large populations, some poor and proletarian people should be moved to Daojun, which has a large border area and a small population. We have to ensure that after equalizing the fields, one family will have about a hundred acres of land. In this way, some fields can plant mulberry, hemp, trees, and some fields can also grow grains. The whole family can still have food and clothing after paying rent and taxes."
Now the imperial court has built many newly built places, but there are few people in the Central Plains. However, many places have no land. Therefore, for a newly acquired place like Jiangxi, the emperor still emphasized again that one household should have six or seven people, and a hundred acres of land should be given equal land.
For places with small land and large populations, the government should organize some poor proletarians to move to counties with small population and large land, or even to border counties outside Jiangxi.
"There is another important thing, which is to implement a one-size-fits-all approach for usury in Jiangxi Road in the past. People only need to repay the principal and up to one-fold interest. No matter how long they have borrowed, no matter how much interest they agreed to be, no matter how much interest they have already rolled out, only the principal and one-fold interest will be paid at most. Moreover, for loans like nine out and thirteen out, repayment is only calculated based on the actual number of loans."
The emperor specially confessed that the debt was cleared was also to remove many unreasonable oppression. In the past, many people lost land and went bankrupt because of usury, and the profits were endless, and eventually the people's families were destroyed and their people became slaves. Therefore, the emperor now needs to clean up these things in the past.
"If the people cannot repay the past debt for the time being, then the original owner will not force the debt. The local government can take over the debt, and the local government will first repay the debt. Then the people will repay some of the debts to the government every year in the future. The debts paid by the government shall not be calculated separately, and will be considered as interest-free loans."
Wei Zheng sighed, "I don't know how many people will escape the debt mountain of bitterness and debt."
"I also hope that their lives will have a chance to start over. I will grant them land and reduce their debts and interest rates to them, so that they can start over and have a bright future."
For Luo Cheng, for every extra family of self-cultivated farmers, the foundation of the court must be strengthened one point.
The country's policies are appropriately tilted to self-cultivated farmers and powerful people. This is necessary.
"This year, Jiangxi's two taxes are exempted, and half tax will be imposed next year!" Luo Cheng added another one.
"Let Kan Ling post a message to the bandits in Jiangxi that as long as they go down the mountain to receive reunion within this year, the court can exempt them from their past crimes, and give them new homeland and equal land. But if they dare to continue to resist, the court will kill them regardless of the order, and pursue them for three generations. All of them will be sent to Baekje, Anxi, and Yunnan for a long time. All of them will be deprived of all property, and the wives and concubines will be given to the military farmer by the government!"
