Another imperial edict is about the case of Mr. Zhang’s family.

Today's emperor actually inquired about this case personally, and issued an imperial edict to make instructions. It is conceivable how serious this matter is!

The general meaning of this imperial edict is that there is no change in the judgment of Zhang Yuanwai's family case, and the original verdict of "former Hangzhou Prefect" should be maintained. The autumn poster who should be killed was also specifically stated that the words "unpardoned for pardon" were not approved.

In other words, Zhang Yuanwai's family has no chance of turning the tables.

Here I have to say a very interesting phenomenon in ancient times, that is, many prisoners, even death row prisoners, actually have a last way of life after the final judgment is issued, although this way of life is very slim.

That is the so-called "great amnesty in the world".

Things like a general amnesty rarely happen in the world, but this kind of thing may happen at any time. For example, when the new emperor ascends the throne, a general amnesty will be given to the new emperor to show the great grace of the emperor.

Whenever such a thing happens, some people who are in jail or who are beheaded can go home happily, which is speechless.

However, once a general amnesty happens, not all criminals will be forgiven for their crimes.

There is a word called "Ten Evils Unforgivable", which refers to such criminals. Anyone who commits "Ten Evils" crimes will not have your share even if they encounter a general amnesty.

This imperial edict on Zhang Yuanwai's family's crimes focused on the unpardonedness, which means that his family has committed ten evil crimes and has no chance of life, even if it encounters a special situation like a general amnesty in the world.

The so-called ten evil crimes are: 1. Rebellion refers to attempting to overthrow the government, 2. Rebellion refers to destroying the imperial temple, tombs and palaces, 3. Rebellion refers to betraying the imperial court, 4. Rebellion refers to beating and murdering grandparents, parents, uncles and other elders, 5. Unrighteous, refers to killing more than three people in the family and dismembering people, 6. Disrespect, refers to offending the dignity of the imperial family, usually stealing the sacrificial instruments and the emperor's daily necessities,

Forging imperial medicines and mistakenly violating food prohibitions, 7. Unfiliality refers to unfilial grandparents, parents, or getting married during mourning, etc., 8. Discord. That is, murdering certain relatives, or women beat or accusing husbands, etc., 9. Unrighteousness refers to killing officials, soldiers killing officials, students killing teachers, women failing to mourn when they hear their husbands die or remarry immediately, 10. Civil strife, adultery or rape between relatives, etc.

Therefore, when this imperial edict was issued, the case of Zhang Yuanwai's family was settled.

The guests in the restaurant discussed this topic so much that it was so satisfying that the emperor's wise voice was heard...

Chen Yi listened enthusiastically, and finally found a table to sit down, and asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds to listen slowly. In fact, he had a clearer understanding of the ancient system.

After listening to this for a long time, Wang Jiang and Bai Shifeng came back one after another and brought back two good news.

First of all, it was the issue of Chen Yi buying land. Wang Jiang and his team spent about 8,000 taels of silver to buy the mountain bag that Chen Yi wanted, but also bought more than 1,000 acres of forests and land around it. It can be said that they had once wrapped up all the land around that village of Zhang Yuanwai's family!

In Wang Jiang's words, it's really a bargain price. A mu of land costs less than five taels of silver, which is like a free pickup.

Chinese people have liked to hoard land since ancient times, and it has been engraved in the depths of their genes. Originally, Wang Jiang wanted to buy more, so it would be better to spend Chen Yi's money. Unfortunately, some people couldn't help but secretly take action. Not long after, Zhang Yuanwai's property was divided up.

Chen Yi was not sure about the land transaction price during this period, but Wang Jiang said it was the same as it was picked up for free. He guessed that it should be true. After all, land is a lifeblood for Chinese people.

Another good news is that Bai Shifeng took this opportunity to buy a courtyard in the city, which is also the property of Zhang Yuanwai. He only spent less than 300 taels of silver. After a little transformation, he could open the martial arts hall.

After hearing the good news they brought, Chen Yi thought to himself that he had more than a thousand acres of forest land on the edge of Hangzhou City. How many billions would he have in the future?

The key is that with the laws of this period, as long as the court is still there, the land will always belong to you!

However, the reality was that Chen Yi poured a basin of cold water. Wang Jiang said: "Brother Chen, the land deeds and other things have been handed over. After all, it is a government transaction. It will be handled on the spot. Just wait for your household registration to be transferred to your name. But what I have to remind you is that you have no fame and fortune. From next year, you will have to bear the tax on the mountains, forests and land."

After hearing this, Chen Yi was stunned for a moment. He said that he had to pay tax on this thing? Thinking about it, in this period, the majority of income in the country actually refers to land taxes.

Chen Yi had never thought about this problem before. After all, in his perception, the country had abolished grain taxes when he was a child. Not only did the farmers not pay taxes, the country also had to withdraw subsidies.

Bai Shifeng next to him smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry about tax issues. You just need to spend some money and find someone with fame to get a tax issue."

"To put it nicely, although it is just affiliation, what's the difference between giving land to others? After all, you have to be exempted from taxes under your actual name. If someone turns against you, it will be someone else's." Chen Yi curled his lips, and he still understands some basic common sense.

Bai Shifeng thought it was true, and smiled awkwardly, "Then, brother Chen, you might as well go and take the exam for a good name."

Chen Yixin said that I thought, but this is making things difficult for me. Well, I can’t recognize all the words of this period, and I’m going to take the exam for fame and honor, but I can’t help it.

Waving his hand, Chen Yi said: "It's okay, you have to wait until next year to pay taxes. The court clearly stipulates how much tax you have to pay for a mu of land, and I'll talk about it then."

When Chen Yixin said this, he said that when he got the seeds of high-yield crops, the grain tax would be drizzling. After all, acre of land is taxed at a rate of kilograms, not at a rate of harvest.

Next, Chen Yi thought in his mind that he had to use the "vacation" period to build the yard where the mountains were covered, and to implement the household registration in this world. It was all simple matters. As long as he had money, there was no big problem...

On the other side, in a heavily guarded luxury manor, "Huang Tai" was questioning Liu Fanban. He pointed at Liu Fanban's nose and said, "Dog thing, how did you check the matter? Not to mention the distance, just in Hangzhou, how many guys are like Zhang Yuanwai? How many days have passed, you have to give me a reply, right?"

"The master calms down, the slave is investigating, and the result will be soon," Liu Fan said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't even check it. Such things cannot stand the investigation. Every time he checked it, it was just an exception. If he really checked it, it would be no different from breaking the sky. His partner Liu's life was not enough to die!

Liu's father had already reported the signs of Huang Tai wanting to investigate such a thing. As long as he delayed the time, the master would call him back and answer the question himself.
