"The writing has been sent to the provincial governing offices of all provinces in the world for 800 miles!" Zhu Gaochi stood up and said, "All good people who are exempt from lowly belong to the country are willing to immigrate to Liaodong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. Each person will be given five acres of land and five silver pieces, and exempted from land tax for five years."
"Why don't I know about this?" Li Zhigang's heart skipped a beat.
Although he was the deputy to exempt the vacant family, he had always been doing it himself. On the surface, Zhu Gaochi was a hand-off manager. But he didn't expect that today he suddenly issued a government order involving immigrants.
This is not a simple government decree, it involves rewards of land and silver dollars.
"The emperor still doesn't trust me completely!" Li Zhigang was upset, and at the same time, he kept pinching the strip Chen in his sleeve.
"Snap speed up!" Zhu Yunxiu told Zhu Gaochi, "It is a good thing to exempt the lowly book, and good things cannot turn into bad things."
"I obey the order!" Zhu Gaochi bowed, "I have something else!"
"Come on!"
Zhu Gaochi pulled out a note from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, "After the autumn trial last year, there were 7,200 prisoners across the country. In addition to 120 people who were murdered, there were people who stole oxen and committed crimes, those who were idle and traitors, those who were idle and abused the country, and those who fought against taxes and beat officials..."
"The murderer will pay his life!" Zhu Yunxiu frowned and said, "As for the other prisoners, they were sent to Luzon Island in 5,000 people, and the rest went out to sea with the fleet to build a harbor in Myanmar!"
As he said that, he thought for a while and continued, "In the future, except for the unforgivable crimes, prisoners in various places are not allowed to be exiled without authorization. All must be reported to the Ministry of Justice and then placed!"
"What a big deal! You obviously want to send all the illegal prisoners overseas to harm others!" Zhu Gaochi complained in his heart, but he was respectful and said, "I obey the order!"
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized that Li Zhigang's expression was a little wrong.
The throne was high above, and the expressions and movements of the ministers were all in his eyes.
"Li Aiqing has something to say?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Li Zhigang quickly stood up and said seriously, "I have something to do, it is important, and it is also about the decency of the court. Therefore, I have no choice but to..."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxiu didn't like this person's behavior. He would talk about things whenever he had something to do, and he would deliberately make things mysterious before he talked about things.
A person who is a mysterious person simply wants to show his own contribution or cover up his true purpose.
"It's also a matter of Shandong!" Li Zhigang frowned, with a look of distress, "It's a matter of Qufu, Shandong. There is a Lehu who has recovered his good citizenship. He just got his household registration and went to the yamen to complain..." As he said, he seemed to be in a dilemma, "Accuse him of Yan Shenggong!"
Kong family?
Zhu Yunxiu suddenly felt energetic, "Tell me carefully!"
"Yes, the family of the Lehu has been a Lehu for generations. His mother was a famous local singer and she saved a lot of money. Having money is like buying land, but according to the Ming Dynasty, the Lehu family is not allowed to buy land. So they privately gave a child from a branch of Yansheng Gong Mansion a sum of money and hanged the purchased land in the name of the child of this branch!"
Zhu Yunxiu listened silently, it was not a complicated matter. It was like the purchase restrictions in later generations. Many of them bought houses and placed them in other people's names.
"Lehu Family has purchased land for five consecutive years, and it has been calculated that it is about 50 hectares in total. It has agreed with the son of the Confucius family that 30% of the annual land production will be used as a reward, and the rest will be returned to Lehu Family."
Fifty hectares are not a small amount. If it weren't for the identity of the descendants of Yan Shenggong, it would be difficult for the Lehu and even ordinary gentry to buy these lands, and even if they have money, they would not be able to buy them.
"In the end, the land was swallowed by the Kong family?" Zhu Yunxiu asked at a loss.
"The emperor is wise!" Li Zhigang said, "In July of the previous year, Yan Shenggong repaired the temple. The descendant of the Kong family, who had these fifty acres of land under his name, sold the fifty acres of land to Yan Shenggong's Mansion as land for the public to worship his ancestors!"
"After the incident, the Lehu family naturally refused to give up, but their complaints ignored it. Moreover, because they were a lowly family, they could only temporarily endure the threat from the Confucius family's son."
