On December 15, the north was still cold, but the snow in Zhejiang and other places in Jiangsu Province had already bloomed.Another half of the month is the Spring Festival, and the whole south of the Yangtze River is in an atmosphere of joy. /p

Zhu Hongsan on the southern provinces than his beggar ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang is too strong, Zhu Hongsan in the occupation of Nanjing after the order to reduce the tax of the second province of Susong to a reasonable level, so this year the whole of Jiangsu Province ordinary people in the hands of two idle money. /p

In Tongli Town, ten miles outside the town of Wujiang County, Suzhou Province, Jiangsu Province, there is a large farm, where the land advocate in Wujiang County is home, and the home is called Zhang Qingfang. /p

Zhang Qingfang came from the family of Zhang, who came from Nan Zhili, but Zhang Qingfang and the contemporary Zhang family advocate that Yao Fang was 17 and eight generations, which can only be regarded as a partial house of Zhang's family.But it is not easy, Zhang's family is definitely one of the largest families in the south at the end of the Ming Dynasty.Zhang Yaofang's father Zhang Rulin is a twenty-three-year veteran, Zhang Yaofang's grandfather Zhu Geng, is in the late history of the cabinet as the first assistant.In addition, the history of Zhangjia was first traced back to the period of the three countries, and Zhang's family in the three dynasties of the Tang and Song Ming Dynasty had been out of office.This deep family life coupled with the support of the officialdom, Zhang family is the entire South Zhizhi family. /p

At the same time, Zhang Yaofang also has a son, this person is Zhang Dai, which is recognized as one of the most powerful writers in the evening.There is also Zhang Yaofang's brother Zhang Lianfang, whose two daughters were married to Lu Wang Zhihai, who was exiled to eastern Zhejiang at the time, but in the end the two women fell into Zhu Hongsan's hands, one of which also had children for Zhu Hongsan.At the same time, Zhang Jia was on the front line when fighting against Qing, and Zhang Yaofang was basically destroying the family to support the East Zhejiang Yijun.Political correctness coupled with Zhang Jiashu's roots, so after Zhu Hongsan occupied Nanjing, in order to buy people's hearts and rewards, Zhang Yaofang gave a waiter to serve as the right waiter of the Nanjing Rite Department.His son Zhang Dai was also given by Zhu Hongsan to a sergeant, but Zhang Day was used to it and did not become an official. /p

With this kind of family endorsement, Zhang Qingfang is a big leader in Wujiang County, and even the newly appointed local know-how county must come to Zhangjia to visit, to avoid some things after taking office.Zhang Qingfang also through the power of Zhang family in Wujiang County here the general land merger, in addition to thousands of acres of paddy fields, there are thousands of acres of Santian, there are thousands of acres of Taihu Lake water area is Zhang Qingfang. /p

Zhang Qingfang has this kind of family life, and at this time he was worried at home, because it was very simple, the task force sent by the province to Wujiang.The task of the task force is very simple, to find out how many paddy fields and mulches there are in the area, and how much tax to pay each year. /p

Zhu Hongsan's new policy has been implemented in Suzhou for two years, but it has been very little, for the simple reason that local officials do not cooperate.At the end of the world, the chaos in the world, Nan Zhili here has not suffered much impact, so the local gentry still retains considerable power.The local officials here were also more or less bribed by the gentry, so they naturally violated the New Deal and Yang of the court. /p

In the past, because Zhu Hongsan had all his thoughts in the north, there was no time for the South.But now it is different, Zhu Hongsan has unified China, naturally to focus the main attention to South China's tax place, Su Song Erfu.In the past two years, the implementation of the new government of Susong two months is slow, Zhu Hongsan's heart is very unhappy, in March of Shenwu eight years, find a reason to send the former Suzhou Zhifu to prison, and then sent Pan Zhenda as a new Suzhou Zhifu. /p

Pan himself is a ten-year compostmaster, it is the first auxiliary Ma Mingyuan's classmates, to Suzhou here naturally to fully implement the emperor's New Deal, in less than a year's time, the New Deal pre-planned land survey work has been almost completed, only a few remote towns have not yet done.In order to make a good impression in front of the emperor, Pan Zhifu was ready to complete all the measurement work under Suzhou in the past year.Therefore, in November, the six counties and one state must be strictly controlled, and all the work must be completed by the end of the year. /p

As the owner of the landowner of Wujiang County, Zhang Qingfang has already received an alarm from a friend in the Zhifu, so that he has planned early, this time and the last time can be different, it seems that the master of the province wants to move, they do not dare to hide Zhang Qingfang. /p

Zhang Qingfang, who received the news, was also very anxious, he was a peripheral member of the Zhang family, but there was no courage to fight with the imperial power.Today, I received the news that the task force was coming to their house to measure tomorrow, and quickly called my master to make an idea. /p

Zhang Qingfang's master was a poor show talent, there is no way out to rely on Zhang Qingfang, usually write for him to calculate, out of the flow of bullshit ideas.Today, Master Liang heard the master call himself, and hurried to the study of the former court. /p

After Master Liang listened to the main family said what had happened, he had no idea in his heart and did not talk with his beard.This is a hasty failure of Zhang Qingfang Zhang, this master is he hired with twelve silver a month, now the key moment to fall the chain and what do you want? /p

“Brother Liang, what do you say?” /p

Take people's money and people to deal with the disaster, Master Liang listened to Zhang Qingfang said so can not have to say: "Lord, this time the master of the knowledge is under the order of death, I heard that the usual money family obediently accept the measurement, we can't stand it!" /p

Zhang Qingfang heard Master Liang say, "He's money is something, just an upstart, how can a guy who relies on his daughter compare with our Zhang family!" /p

Master Liang listened to his heart secretly to leave his mouth, you scold money for humility to rely on your daughter, then what do you trust in your family?The daughter of Qian Qian Yi is a noble woman, and the two children of your Zhang family do not even have an official identity, but it is only the emperor's plaything.But Master Liang thought so in his heart, but did not dare to say it, after all, now to eat someone Zhang Qingfang's food. /p

"Easter, half a month before the East Mountain came from the news, Huang Master did not cooperate with the task force measurement, was known to the county master found out that there had been collusion with Manqing, but also sent military food to Manqing, the whole family was caught up by Jin Yiwei, I heard that the male Ding sent to Lu Song to open the mine, the women were sold to Nanjing Feast, miserable!" /p

Listening to Master Liang say that Zhang Qingfang was full of trembling, and he heard about it.Not only Dongshan, the whole Wujiang County under the rule of several townships have more or less rebelled against the New Deal landlords, these people are not spared, have been arranged by the jinjie on a variety of crimes, have been convicted and imprisoned, the worst direct and directly settled in prison. /p

Nan Zhili here and eastern Zhejiang is different, this place has no good impression of Zhu Yuanzhang, in the Manchu just occupied Nanjing when they are not very opposed, Manqing also they are much higher than the tax in other places to normal, so the southern gentry is not disgusted with the Manqing.As for the resistance of Nan Zhili in the future, it was because it was full of things to shave its head, and in order to save its own Han family crown, fierce resistance broke out in various parts of Nanzhizhi.However, with the transfer of the Hong Cheng domain, under the wrist of the hard and soft, the resistance of the southern direct division gradually weakened, and the landowners in various places began to have more or less contact with the Manchu regime, which was completely different from the eastern part of Zhejiang /p from the beginning to the end.

So Nan Zhili, these landowners have small braids in the hands of Jin Yiwei, saying that it is impossible not to be afraid. /p

But not resisting means that their own interests are lost, Zhang Qingfang knows that measuring land is now the first step, and then it is necessary to collect taxes according to the number of measurements.The most recent national land survey was measured when Zhang Ju was implementing reforms in the nine years of the calendar, but now more than 80 years away, Zhang Qingfang's land has been expanded more than ten times over the years, so that he is now paying taxes in real terms.

“Brother Liang, can you see if there is any way for me to avoid this robbery?”Zhang Qingfang really did not want to take silver, had to let Master Liang make an idea. /p

After all, Master Liang took the people's money and thought for half a day: "Owner, the way is not no, just need Shaoxing Zhang's family to come out!" /p

Hearing that there was an idea, Zhang Qingfang's eyes lit up and quickly asked, "Brother Liang please say, I need my big brother to come forward and ask him!" /p

"Lord, as the saying goes, we can measure the land tomorrow, we can encourage the hawks to make trouble, but it is estimated that the Lord will be taken down by the task force, then the Lord of Shaoxing will come forward!"At that time, by Master Zhang to contact Nan Zhili, Zhejiang squire, and then a change in Suzhou, may make the emperor's new government return without success!" /p

Zhang Qingfang listened to Master Liang's heart scolding, this is your mother's good idea, is this not to let the master I fill the pit?But Zhang Qingfang thought that there was no longer any good idea to solve the urgent need, so he had to promise Master Liang's idea.Zhang Qingfang's side wrote to Zhang Lianfang, the second master of the Zhang family in Shaoxing, and Mr. Liang went to buy tenants and prepare for tomorrow's affairs. /p

The next day, as soon as the gate of Wujiang County was opened, the task force sent by the province was ready to go out of the city and go to Tongli Town, which is ten miles outside the city, and now only one town in Wujiang County has not yet been cleared. /p

A total of 18 people came to the provincial team, composed of the four people of the provincial government, the supervision of the department, the supervision of the department, the four people of the department, the Ministry of Education, the department sent a member of the Senate from the five products, and there are also three people who are responsible for the jinjie-guarded gate, which together form the Jiangsu Qingzhaotian acre task force.They have been in Suzhou for a year, and today this is the last stop. /p

The task force took the lead from the five-pin Senate Yang Zongjian, who stood at the gate of the city to send the Wujiang County Ling Wang Zhang said: "Mr. Wang please come back, this town should be our last stop, five days later we clear the end of the direct back to Nanjing, do not return to Wujiang and Wang to bid farewell!" /p

Wang Zhang was a three-year veteran of the Divine Force, a talent selected by Zhu Hongsan for the first imperial election of the emperor, and naturally he was also a student of Ma Mingyuan. /p

As Ma Mingyuan's student Wang Zhang naturally knows that this Qingzhu Tian mu is his teacher's all-out implementation of the New Deal, not allowed to make a mistake, so after receiving the provincial text, Wang Zhang has been working hard this year, afraid of the New Deal in his own acre and three points of the land there is something lost.Fortunately, there is only one town left, and there was no accident in Wujiang County in this time, and Wang Zhang is still very gratified. /p
