At this point, some people finally felt fear and began to repent.
Jia Lian agreed.
This time, more than thirty households withdrew.
Zheng Xing and Wu De cursed angrily: "These weaklings with no integrity should spend their whole lives stepping on others' feet."
Jia Lian ordered the thirty-seven people who rebelled to be brought out of the hall, and then ordered the gentry from the two mansions to be brought into the hall. Because there were too many people, Jia Lian ordered the door of the governor's hall to be removed, and the governor's courtyard outside was turned into a Governor's Hall.
These people stood neatly in two rows.
Jia Lian was shocked: "I am asking questions now, and you must report truthfully, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
All the gentlemen bowed together and said: "If you ask me about Futai, we will tell you everything we know."
Jia Lian nodded: "Very good, look at these people in the hall on the left. They are now representing the family to fight against the new government's land taxation policy. I want to ask you, do you have the same thoughts and support them in resisting the new policy?"
Many people immediately shouted: "No, Mr. Futai, don't listen to their nonsense. Our family is preparing money and food, and there is no such thing as resisting the tax."
When Jia Lian saw that more than half of the people were opposed, he felt at ease.
He said: "Okay, in front of these tax resisters, I would like to ask, what is the autumn harvest of Quanzhou and Fuzhou this year? The Fujian Chief Envoy reported before that the rice yield per mu this year is 600 jin, and the wheat yield is 600 jin. Three hundred jins, and 1,500 jins of sweet potatoes. I want to know, is it your chief envoy who is lying, or are these people who have nothing to wear and no food to eat, lying?"
When Jia Lian asked this question, the gentry immediately exploded: "Who is talking nonsense? We in Quanzhou have convenient transportation, good weather this year, and the guidance of agricultural technicians sent by the governor's Yamen. We have achieved bumper harvests in both flood and drought seasons, which is better than last year's." The harvest is not bad. Our middle-class families in Quanzhou now have a surplus of food, and a very small number of impoverished families have also received subsidies from the county government and donations from relatives and friends. Since the spring of this year, no one has gone out to escape famine, but has returned more than a dozen times. People who have fled their homes."
Jia Lian ordered to put out paper and pen: "Do you dare to write down what you said in black and white and put down a pen to testify?"
"dare!"
Afterwards, more than 200 people came forward to sign and pledge their signatures.
The scribe finally told Jia Lian that among the 100 clans, in addition to the 37 people who had repented, there were also 30 families that opposed it.
Jia Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let me just say that Quanzhou and Fuzhou have been gathering places of great Confucians and celebrities since ancient times. How could such a place with outstanding people and spiritual people come out with unruly people? Okay, now, all the elders who support the New Deal are asked to withdraw from the hall. , go to the side hall to rest, and I will personally hold the candle later. Thank you for your support."
Jia Lian said and stood up to invite him.
The old men were so moved that they went out in a hurry.
The remaining twenty-three households are already an absolute minority.
Jia Lian still decided to give these people a chance, so he said to the patriarch of their family: "Out of kindness, I will finally give you a chance to persuade them. As long as you can persuade them to change their minds and return to their lost ways, I will Governor, let bygones be bygones."
Jia Lian has been patient again and again, but the war has really resulted in too many casualties. If the northerners are transferred to the south, it will involve land disputes and civil clan fights. Therefore, generally speaking, local residents are retained.
If the population had not dropped sharply after the war, Jia Lian would have thrown these people to the northern and southern borders of Lingnan to give them a taste of their power.
It turns out that the remaining twenty-three people are die-hards and will not accept hard or soft policies.
The patriarch was very angry after his persuasion failed. They knelt down together to plead guilty to Jia Lian, and only asked Jia Lian not to be implicated.
Jia Lian waved his hand: "Folks, please be careful. Although this dynasty has a law on sitting together, the governor will decide according to the situation. It depends on your performance. Now I will give you a chance to survive by docking your tail. As long as these people no longer belong to your clan, I will never get involved randomly."
At this time, the twenty-three people were not calm and pointed at Jia Lian and cursed: "You are so shameless!"
Jia Lian calmly looked at the kite and the harvest.
"Kite and Harvest" waved his hands without hesitation, and a group of children disappeared like lightning. There was a burst of snapping noise, and the person who had just scolded suddenly had a black nose and a swollen face that turned into a pig's head.
There are a lot of kites, and each person has no more than twenty kites.
This time, everyone was honest.
Afterwards, a scene of survival by docking the tail was staged in the lobby.
The clan leader of the clan where the twenty-three people belong has written a pen to expel these people from the clan.
There are also three clan leaders. Such people will be revoked after a consensus among several elders of the clan.The position of patriarch is then expelled.
Finally, Jia Lian announced the punishment of these people, who were sent to serve in northern Xinjiang for three years for the two major crimes of inciting people to gather to make trouble and inciting people to resist taxes.
Thirteen more prefecture and county officials in Zhengxing and Wude were dismissed from their posts and sent to northern Xinjiang for three years of hard labor.
Jia Lian ordered the governor and governor Biao to personally escort these people to northern Xinjiang, and gave Fang Kun a letter requesting that these people be sent to the most difficult areas to dig trenches, and they would be paid according to their work, and they would not be allowed to eat if they did not work. He also asked Fang Kun to collect the money from these people, and they were not allowed to eat or drink unless they were sick. Let them compete with each other for food and drink.
Jia Lian believed that after three years of hard work, they would be completely transformed and would no longer have any wild ideas.
At the same time, Jia Lian said that if the family members of these people are willing to follow them to northern Xinjiang, Jia Lian can arrange for them to settle there.
As a result, no one was willing to go to northern Xinjiang.
Subsequently, Jia Lian made a decision to confiscate the land under their names from these people.
Of course, Jia Lian was very humane and left enough food land for these people's wives and children, each with five acres of fertile land, and the rest was used as official land.
During lunch time, Jia Lian held a banquet for guests. More than 300 gentry and famous people at the table all promised to hand over the family's taxes and grain immediately after returning.
"Subsequently, with a stroke of his pen, Jia Lian transferred Jia Yun to Quanzhou as the prefect, and then transferred Lu Ping's brother-in-law Zhang Song to Fuzhou as the prefect.
Jia Lian arranged for his disciples to serve in the yamen of the remaining thirteen prefectures and counties. Then, Jiajun, Jialan, and Jialan were sent to the county offices under Quanzhou to serve as magistrates and learn criminal names. He also took the child soldiers brought out from Kyoto, including twenty children from the Jia family, and arranged them to be the head catchers in the thirty-seven yamen under the two governments.
There was a mutiny in these two houses, and Jia Lian had to guard against it.
In November of this year, Zhejiang collected 3.8 million tax dollars, and Fujian collected 2.3 million.
According to the imperial court's policy of promoting integrity, 370,000 of them can be attributed to Jia Lian's treasury.
Although these silvers are said to be money for raising integrity, they should be distributed to hundreds of officials. Jia Lian doesn't want to take too much, but he wants to go back to Kyoto to build relationships. Especially those cabinet bachelors, they must not be offended and must be worshiped well. Otherwise, if he was making such a fuss in Haijiang and no one in Kyoto would support him, he would have given up on his business a long time ago.
Fortunately, Jia Lian also received about 100,000 yuan as a gift for his birthday last year, and asked Sister Feng to take some of it back to Kyoto. There are many Western gadgets in Fujian and Zhejiang. Jia Lian received a gold pocket watch for each person based on the number of people. This is a rare item. It only takes a few hundred taels of silver to exchange for it on the side, but it costs thousands in Kyoto. Things are more valuable when they are rare.
This kind of Western gold jewelry is generally worth the money when it comes to Beijing.
Of course, these ingenious things alone are not enough, you have to offer real money and silver.
Therefore, Jia Lian withheld 100,000 yuan from Yang Lian's money and took it back to Kyoto as a favor. This kind of behavior is public in official circles and is called ice and charcoal respect.
This time, Jia Lian handed over the escort of the tax money to Little Leopard, because Little Leopard's mother had run out of oil and was just surviving the day. The spiritual wine produced by Jia's family could no longer curb the deterioration of her condition. My son supported me and I looked forward to seeing my son one last time.
Jia Lian then decided to let the little leopard come to Beijing to let the mother and son meet.
In addition to taking the banknotes to Beijing, Xiao Baozi also brought private goods to the Jia family, mainly as a tribute to the cabinet bachelor.
The little leopard¡¯s mother left peacefully after seeing the little leopard.
The little leopard was worried about this, and the new emperor granted him a year's leave and asked him to send his mother back to his hometown for burial. But the little leopard kicked her mother back to Huguang and buried her on the mountain behind the fishing village.
The little leopard left, leaving Jia Lianshu as his right-hand man. Later, Jia Lian transferred his son-in-law Lu Yingjun to the governor's Yamen to manage the governor's standards for him.
This year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve, Sister Feng went to the palace to congratulate her, but she was choked by Yu Liuyue¡¯s words.
Yu Liuyue specially left Sister Feng to give her food, and said: "You once said that you like our peace, but are you telling the truth?"
Sister Feng snorted: "I dare to fool you, the queen, but I will not feel sorry for myself. Yes, I just like Princess An Ning to be straightforward, and I wish she was my daughter."
Yu Liuyue smiled: "I will make the decision today and give her to you as your wife!"
Sister Feng was shocked. She liked the heroic Princess An Ning very much. However, Jia Lian repeatedly warned her not to get involved in lawsuits with the royal family. Yuanchun really dragged down the Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing Sister Feng¡¯s silence, Yu Liuyue said angrily: ¡°I just said that I liked her very much, what¡¯s going on now?¡±
Sister Feng took a breath and said: "In our family, our eldest aunt used to be the one who selected the servants of the inner court. Queen, do you know that?"
Yu Liuyue nodded. When she entered the palace for the draft, Jia Yuanchun was still in the palace, how could she not know.
Sister Feng said: "To tell you the truth, our family was almost destroyed because of this aunt, and everyone in the family was frightened."
Yu Lianyue chuckled: "This is because I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family. Is it because my sister-in-law doesn't agree to the marriage, so I can break up with the royal family? Who doesn't know that Rongguo Mansion was the queen's family at that time?"
Sister Feng bared her teeth: "That's right, I have to give your brother some air!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com)Yu Liuyue nodded. When she entered the palace for the draft, Jia Yuanchun was still in the palace, how could she not know.
