Chapter 482
The plan to erect a monument and remove firewood from the cauldron has been effective. There are endless people in the yamen in various places who complain about withdrawing the land they donated.
The people are the most realistic, and seeking profit and avoiding harm is also human nature.
The land was originally devoted to the gentry's fame because the land tax and labor service were too great. In the first year of Chongzhen, Qu Shixi, the head of the household rank of the household rank, said: "It has been ten years of military use in the country. It is not taken for nothing to be taken by the people. Each acre is collected to achieve three times the actual (output) or even higher. The counties and counties are harsh in the ranks, and they are not allowed to pass the examination. Those who are in this land hope that the conquest will be lost correctly and to complete their own fame. Who will remember this Yuanyuan again? Therefore, when the conquest period is urged, the new and old will be released, and the servants will be scattered and shackled, and carried on the road; the whipping and beating are called throne."
In the early years of Chongzhen, the Henan Inspection Commissioner Mao Jiuhua said, "There are hundreds of servants in the powerful family, and the traitors take advantage of the situation to offer. The people would rather receive the fish and meat, so the country was exhausted."
But now it is not. The ancestors have erected the monument again, and stipulated that each acre is only 2 cents of silver tax per quarter and 1 cent of silver servicing money. Even the stupidest person can understand that not only does not have the corvee service that really costs human life, but after deducting the tax on imperial grain, everyone can have at most half of the output. Then who would still devote to the gentry, receive 80% of the land rent and unlimited labor.
The three honest people sued, which represents three situations. Therefore, Li Shouyi was preparing to use the Jinyiwei to support him and handle the case well as a benchmark and role model for his future classmates. As for the fact that he does not even execute the eight counties under his command, he is not afraid, but it is only temporary. When the people are mobilized, under the oppression of the huge people, and under his own suppression, he is not afraid that they will commit the crime.
Li Shouyi also despised the people at the beginning. The scholars were so arrogant that they looked down upon the people at heart, which made him think that to achieve change, he had to be the ones who were literati and doctors, and the people just listened.
But his mentor Zhao Xing taught him the role of the people in his ears every day, allowing the people to participate in the great energy of the change. At the beginning, Li Shouyi was polite to receive teaching with a sense of politeness and perfunctory complaints.
But I am afraid of whispering over and over again, which is brainwashing in later generations. In particular, I analyzed that the changers in all dynasties did not mobilize the masses, and even introduced him to the West Country. A teacher went to the countryside and mobilized the lowest masses, overturned the feudal exploiting class in the West Country in one fell swoop, and finally established a country and led the people toward national rejuvenation. Li Shouyi was quite touched.
You say he made up stories, but as long as he made up stories and carefully pondered them, no matter how perfect the story is, there will be flaws and loopholes. As a result, the story of others is extremely rigorous and impeccable. Especially the arduous battles and the ups and downs of the hardships were finally overcome with the support of the people, which made the listeners move and eventually fascinated.
In the end, Li Shouyi decided to abandon his official position, learn from Master Sanzang, and even beg for food, he had to go to the West to make a pilgrimage to the West to seek scriptures.
As a result, when asked about his teacher's location and the location of the Western Kingdom, his teacher immediately said to him, and was confused. When he was anxious, Zhao Xing pointed at his nose: "What else do you have to take? I am me, the one who preaches the Dharma. If you don't understand, ask me." Then he stared at him and became angry: "Do you doubt my character?"
Li Shouyi complained, do you still have to doubt your character? It’s all stinking in the streets in the Shilin.
"Don't you believe in your mentor's experience and life?"
Li Shouyi muttered: "How can I believe the inexplicable monster?"
"Do you dare not respect your teacher?"
Li Shouyi immediately put away all his contempt and apologized in fear: "I dare not, I dare not."
"I don't dare to do it." Then patted his shoulder: "Start the masses to fight against the landlords well. When I have free time, I will write a book about the teacher's stories I know. I have thought of the title of the book, and it is called "Red Stars Shining in China""
This is the initial source of the monument in front of Li Shouyi's yamen and the implementation of the plan to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot.
The effect was very good. For just so long, before Zhao Xing was about to continue to fabricate charges for those scholars and supervisors, the people went into the yamen and sued them. Not only did they sue the scholars and supervisors, but they also rose to sue the great gentry and clan.
OK, that's great. Li Shouyi resolutely implemented this time. He rushed to the south at the yamen. If he had money, he should not come in. Then he firmly implemented the principle of handling the case by looking at the money. Those who have money must lose, and those who have no money must win. For a while, Li Qingtian, the people's family, wanted to tear him apart. For the big gentry family, Li Shouyi was indifferent and had some expectations. Come on, come on, kill me, the Jinyiwei was staring at him, touching my hair, and everyone had something to do.
The three honest cases were interrogated again. This time, the head of the Wang family, the Li family, and the head of the Liu family were detained in the hall.
Li Shouyi was surprised and said, "Wang Lao Shi, is there any matter of you who donated the land of the Wang family?"
Wang Laoshi kowtowed: "Yes."
"Okay, everyone is happy, so let's sign and seal it."
Turning to the old gentleman Wang: "Does he have given your land?"
Wang Shishen answered proudly: "Yes."
"Sign up."
After the two confessions were settled, Li Shouyi suddenly became furious: "Wang Zhen, you have taken advantage of your own tricks and evaded the imperial grain tax. You have violated the third paragraph of the Ming Dynasty Article 150, Article 155 of the Land. Follow the rules and beat the thirty boards. Come on, execute it."
At that time, Wang Laoshi was so scared that he begged for mercy, but the third yamen runners were like wolves and tigers. They could not tell him where to tell me. They pulled them out and opened Zhang Laoshi's torn pants in front of countless people who were watching. Then, a yamen runner smiled and put a piece of cowhide on his butt, and then the third yamen runners swung his big stick and beat him up in a storm. As a result, when the 25th stick was on, Wang Laoshi was almost asleep.
Just when the people had understood the reason, the squad leader shouted and stopped.
The yamen runner took the stick, the head of the troupe pulled off the cowhide he was weighing off, and announced loudly to Wang Laoshi and the people around him: "The attack just now was because the court and Mr. Li sympathized with you in a difficult situation at that time, and they were forced to helpless. All the graces were forgiving. Now, I really beat you, I want to warn you that no matter what the reason is, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are inviolable. Beat."
This time the yamen runners really beat him. After the five-plate fell down, Wang Laoshi's butt was bleeding. The coroner came up and quickly applied medicine to bandage Wang Laoshi.
The head of the troupe asked loudly at Wang Laoshi, who had been moved to tears, who had long been moved, "Do you understand the good intentions of the emperor, the commander and the magistrate?"
Wang Laoshi knelt down hard, kowtowed to Li Shouyi in the yamen, saying: "Caomin thanks the great master for his kindness and thanks the emperor for his deep kindness."
"Have you learned a lesson? Do you know that the Ming Dynasty's laws cannot be blasphemed and offended?"
Wang Laoshi turned around and kowtowed to the stone tablet: "Cao people teach their descendants and descendants in this life and respect the law."
