Chapter 334 The Rotten Military Administration(1/2)

Chongzhen not only brought it to the Wang family but also brought it to the old man with the sweet potatoes.

Just as we were halfway through, the Jinyiwei sent the news. Fan Jingwen rushed over from Beijing and has now arrived in Datong City.

"Call him to the mansion of Lord King Si."

"yes!"

From time to time, people smiled at the Jinyiwei on the roadside, and even said hello.

This did not exist before. When people in the past heard of the reputation of the Jinyiwei, they were so scared that they trembled all over. How could they take the initiative to say hello to the Jinyiwei enthusiastically?

The reason for this is that in the past month, the Jinyiwei has done a lot of practical things in Datong City, and has established a new image in the hearts of the people in Datong City.

As the emperor and the people were at their highest, the Jinyiwei received considerable praise in Datong City.

Suddenly, a group of people came to the front.

These people looked unkempt and worn-out clothes, with a haggard face.

However, the expression on his face revealed joy.

A middle-aged man in front came over and suddenly stood in front of Chongzhen, which immediately aroused the alertness of the Jinyiwei.

"Who are you?"

The man showed a honest smile: "I'll ask for a way."

"Let's say it."

"Where is the granary of the government?"

Chongzhen said strangely: "What did the granary in the government do?"

"We came from Shaanxi. I heard that Datong was short of food, so our village gathered a batch and asked us to send it here."

He smiled honestly and obviously was a farmer.

"You guys come from Shaanxi?"

"Yes, we walked for nearly a month before we came here. These were donated by our whole village."

Chongzhen was a little shocked. He glanced at the people who were resting by the cart on the street. They were all unkempt and haggard, and they looked like they had indeed rushed a long way.

They were looking here with some fear, maybe because they had never traveled far away.

Chongzhen said: "Shaanxi is so far away, and he is short of food, so he still sends food here?"

"We are from Yan'an Prefecture. When there was a big famine in Shaanxi, we almost starved to death. It was because of the current emperor who went to Shaanxi that we had food. In recent years, the imperial court has been allocating food. We saved a little in our village. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor summoned food from various provinces in Datong, so we came."

Chongzhen was quite moved.

That's right, this is the people's hearts!

This means that his efforts over the years have gained.

Chongzhen said to Luo Yangxing: "Arrang a few people to take them to the granary. Remember to remind the officials and write down their names."

"yes!"

Of course, I have to write it down and publish it in the Ming Dynasty Express for commendation!

We should encourage this behavior, and support will be provided by both parties when they are in trouble.

The late Ming Dynasty was an era of fragmentation. Although the country was still intact, all parties competed for each other and distrust each other, which gave Jiannu a chance.

If a country wants to rise, its premise is unity!

After the arrangement was made, Chongzhen continued to walk towards the royal palace.

Some people, without money, work hard all their lives, know how to repay kindness.

But some people, with their official positions, are rich and prosperous, and are greedy and shameless in sucking blood!

When they arrived at the gate of the royal palace, the Jinyiwei went in first and controlled the people inside first.

Wang Bin shouted in a hurry: "Who are you? You dare to trespass into the Wang family? Do you know where this place is..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard by the Jinyiwei!

Damn it! I see clearly that I am wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring sword in my hand!

Chongzhen walked in swaying.

Wang Zhikui immediately walked out when he heard the movement outside.

Of course, it is impossible for him, a sixth-rank official, to have seen the Shengyan. Officials of this level are arranged by the Ministry of Personnel.

But he must have recognized Feiyu Suit.

When he saw that the Jinyiwei was coming, the smile on his face quickly bloomed.

"Several adults, please, please, please."

"You are the king's experience?"

Chongzhen walked forward, Jinyiwei moved a chair and sat down.

"Yes, this official is the experience of the king."

Wang Zhikui glanced at his housekeeper. Didn’t he go to check the field?

The Jinyiwei scolded: "Bold, the emperor is here, and he won't kneel down yet!"

Wang Zhikui was shocked and suddenly widened his eyes. He looked at the person in front of him again, looked at the Jinyiwei around him, and then knelt down, put his forehead on the back of his hand, buried it between his long sleeves, and said in shock: "I don't know that the sage is coming, and I will be guilty of death!"

The butler was stunned when he saw it, and the old man was also stunned when he saw it. The two of them quickly knelt down.

Chongzhen said lightly: "Those who do not know are not guilty."

"Your Majesty, you went out of the city more than a month ago to summon the scattered border troops and prepare to die with the Tartars..."

Chongzhen was too lazy to listen to him making up stories here, and interrupted him: "I'll ask you something."

"Please make it clear to you."

"Is this person your housekeeper?"

Chongzhen pointed to the butler and said.

Wang Zhikui looked up and said quickly: "Yes."

Maybe he was too nervous, and Wang Zhikui's mind was blank.

"I met him in the fields outside the city. Do you know what he is doing there?"

Wang Zhikui's whole body trembled and he hurriedly said, "I...I don't know."

"Don't you know? Do you know that the crime of deceiving the monarch is a death sentence?"

Wang Zhikui suddenly felt cold and sweating like a waterfall, and he became incoherent: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are going to see the field."

"It's the land of the minister."

"How many acres of land do you have?"

"My...My..."

Chongzhen lowered his voice and said, "Say!"

"I have five hundred acres!"

Having 500 acres of land is not a crime, as long as you can pay taxes.

New rural tax, families with more than 20 acres will pay a tax of two stones per acre.

The harvest of each acre of land in the north is about 3 stones (360 kilograms), and even fewer years of disasters.

As long as you pay taxes, you can have 100,000 acres of land.

However, there is one thing that cannot be done.

Chongzhen continued: "Where did your fields come from?"

“Buy…buy.”

"Who did you buy it?"

"This...this..."

Wang Zhikui's teeth began to fight.

"I bought it from a farmer?"

Chongzhen pointed at the old man and said, "Look for him?"

Wang Zhikui said without hesitation: "Yes, yes, yes, look for him!"

"He is a military householder, and his field is a military field. This is what your housekeeper said in person."

Wang Zhikui stayed there as if struck by lightning.

That’s right, you can do as much land as you have, as long as you pay taxes normally.

However, the source of your field must be legal.
