Chapter 1146 This seems to be a big deal(1/2)
Thoughts were just thoughts, and he was just thinking about it. The rebellion he was showing now was actually just a show!
Huang Zhen is not stupid, he also knows how much he weighs.
Today the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak.
If you want to rebel, you really have to consider how many brains you have.
Rebellion is false, dissatisfaction is true.
There are very few hereditary marquises in the whole country.
The ancestor of the Huang family accompanied the emperor on the expedition. He was an ordinary guard, but when the enemy attacked, he ran away with the emperor on his back for a while.
In fact, the enemy troops were far away at that time and there was no danger.
But the emperor was still moved by this behavior and gave him a hereditary marquis.
Most hereditary titles have no real power.
This is easy to understand. If we are given real power, how can we pass it down year by year?
Even so.
Relying on this aura of status, the Huang family has become the home of top powerful people under long-term management!
They have land and wealth.
Where did the land come from?
Naturally, it was obtained through merger!
Since the founding of the new dynasty, life has become increasingly difficult.
It is really difficult to keep these industries!
Huang Zhen also racked his brains for this reason.
First, the land was listed under the title of scholars with meritorious status, so that taxes could be avoided and evaded.
But the gentry lost their privileges, and the privileges were changed to poor peasants.
His Majesty said it.
The richer you are, the more you have to pay taxes, and the poorer you are, the less you have to pay.
He put these lands under the control of poor peasants again... Now it's good, the imperial inspector sent by the imperial court is here!
These lands must be converted into farms.
The land that originally belonged to him alone was now being shared among everyone.
There is simply no way for people to survive!
The wind direction changed almost to the point of trembling.
In the circle he was in, there were not a few people like him, so they discussed together that it was not an option to let others take advantage of them, and they should show something, so there was such a "performance."
This is a silent protest!
Make friends all over the world and meet civil and military officials privately.
Huang Zhen just wanted to show that if you don't let me live, I won't be able to survive!
He dared to do this because he had the support of fellow dignitaries from the previous dynasty.
The new emperor regarded them as leeks and cut them off one after another. Who can bear this?
Over the years, we have not obeyed the imperial court’s orders, but we can’t just drive them away and kill them all!
Collect heavy taxes and divide the land.
What is intolerable is unbearable.
So, Huang Zhen came up with this idea!
Today, there is another gathering in the Dongyuan Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou, we all depend on you."
The speaker was a fat middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing fancy clothes.
This man is also a legacy of the previous dynasty, a county uncle.
There are many such nobles gathered in the wealthy land of the south.
They naturally run wherever they are fat.
"Yes, you are a hereditary marquis. Even from the previous dynasty, there were only a few. If you don't stand out, who can?"
"If we don't fight, there will really be nothing left!"
"With you as the leader, all the dignitaries across the country will respond, and His Majesty the Emperor has to pay attention to it."
"You are doing your part!"
After a few compliments, Huang Zhen immediately felt elated.
"With my support, the emperor will take care of it, but you must also follow him."
Huang Zhen is willing to take the initiative, but he is unwilling to let go. If he continues to obey, the family property he has accumulated over the years will be lost...
"The imperial inspector came once and was scolded by me. Half a month has passed and there has been no movement. He must be aware of my power."
Huang Zhen looked proud.
Half a month ago, the inspector came to Qukai County and asked his land to be included in the farm.
His attitude is very tough.
What is mine is mine, even if it is wasted, it cannot be confiscated.
He was also asked to pay back the grain tax.
Starting from the first year of Yuanwu, following this supplementary method, he worked in vain for several years.
You said that my land came from an unfair source.
Ask my dad, ask my grandpa.
Anyway, I don't know.
Seeing that they had no choice, a group of young people left in despair.
But Huang Zhen, who lives deep in Qukai County, has no idea of the current situation. He is like a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky.
"My Lord Marquis has heard about his heroic deeds for a long time. Not to mention the imperial inspector, even the prefecture pastor Liu Biao didn't take him seriously!"
"With Lord Marquis here, we will feel at ease."
His subordinates looked at each other secretly, and blurted out words of praise and flattery.
They all know the character of the Marquis, and as long as they pick up good ones, they are always right.
In his early years, when his father, Mr. Hou, was still alive, he was known as a playboy.
They are so flattering, but they actually have ulterior motives!
Huang Zhen, the Marquis of Dongyuan, took the lead, and they followed suit to boycott the imperial court.
Enforcing farm laws is no small matter.
There are many people who are unwilling!
As long as they are all gathered together, the court will have to take care of it and compromise. This is their purpose!
"Recently, I have lobbied in many ways, and there has been a flood of responses. Many people in Xiucheng Mansion and Jule Mansion are dissatisfied with the court's actions. It's just that my status and reputation are not enough to reassure them... so I have to..."
"It's okay, just use my name!"
Huang Zhen spoke obediently.
"Having the title of Lord Marquis will definitely attract more followers!"
His subordinates were happy.
All they want is a name!
In this way, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with them.
"Go and lobby for arrangements, I will support you!"
Huang Zhen's back is straight and full of pride.
The more this happened, the more excited his heart became. With so many people responding, it was hard to say that it would really be possible.
Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Just go ahead and do it."
"Just wait!"
After getting satisfactory answers, these people went to lobby and contact them.
In the name of Dongyuan Hou, he secretly discussed boycotting the Farm Law.
This is a large-scale rectification, involving many people and many dissatisfied people.
To be continued...
