Chapter 339 Announcement of Anmin

Xue Wanhe looked at the beautiful woman who came out and didn't recognize him at all, and shouted: "Who are you? Why should you condemn me?"

Jing Yi sneered, "Just because I am the one who makes the decision in Meizhou Prefecture now. I am the most particular about fairness. When you were an official, you not only failed to benefit the people, but instead used your power to plunder the people's wealth and oppress the people. The people

We are impoverished and starving, but you and your family live extravagantly and enjoy yourself. If we don’t arrest people like you, it’s impossible to continue to cause harm to the world.”

As he spoke, Jing Yi waved his hand, "Catch him."

At Jing Yi's order, several soldiers came forward and trapped Xue Wanhe and his concubine.

Soon the other masters of the Xue family were also arrested and locked up in a room.

Jing Yi asked people to search Xue Wanhe's property and then register it.

Jing Yi did not stop and continued to take people to other officials' homes.

After dawn, all the officials in Meizhou Prefecture were controlled, and the property of the officials' homes was also confiscated.

Lin Zhuocheng also captured the military camp ten miles away from Fucheng, leaving most of his troops in the military camp and entering the city.

Jing Yi saw her uncle coming and asked, "Uncle, is everything going well?"

Jing Yi smiled and said: "This world needs the people to carry it. The people don't care who becomes the emperor, they will support whoever can make them live a good life. If I want to overthrow the rule of the Chen family in Yi country, I must first

Rescue the people."

The common people can only work as sharecroppers, but they have to pay rent for most of the food they grow all year round. It is so sad that they can’t eat enough even though they grow their own food. What is the difference between these corrupt officials and eating steamed buns with human blood? One by one

They all deserve to die."

Soon, the items confiscated from each official's home were registered and sent to Jing Yi's hands. Sitting in the main hall of the Xue family, Jing Yi looked through the books in his hand and found that it was not just the Xue family, but also the homes of other officials.

Yue Changqing looked at Jing Yi who was blushing with anger and comforted him: "Yiyi, don't be angry. Can't we punish these corrupt officials when we come? But what are you going to do with these farmlands?"

Jing Yi finally returned to Xue's house and found that a lot of gold and silver treasures had been confiscated from Xue Wanhe's house.

Jing Yi said: "If a country does not pay attention to the suffering of the people and treats its soldiers harshly, then this country will not last long. Now that we have occupied Meizhou Prefecture, I have drafted a notice to calm the people, so I will have people copy it and post it, so that the city can

Restore normal order as soon as possible."

Jing Yi's heart was filled with hatred. She had just emptied Xue Wanhe's family, and she had accumulated so much money in such a short period of time. It was not certain how many other families had been plundered by Xue Wanhe.

Lin Zhuocheng smiled and said: "It went very smoothly. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses faced thousands of people. They didn't resist at all and surrendered directly."

Yue Changqing was very surprised when he heard this, "Now you can collect 30% less rent than those corrupt officials. The people are very happy. But why don't you sell these fields to others? You can make more money this way."

Jing Yi said: "In the future, the fields under our jurisdiction will gradually be returned to public ownership. Private individuals do not have ownership of the land, but they can cultivate it and pay taxes to the state. Private individuals do not have the right to buy and sell land. This avoids some private use.

Some illegal means are used to acquire the fields from farmers and take them as their own."

Indeed, after Jing Yi emptied the houses of these corrupt officials, they intensified their efforts, increased taxes, and plundered money, hoping to restore their previous wealth immediately. The people were miserable.

Jing Yi looked at the fields and said angrily to Yue Changqing next to him: "Look, look, these corrupt officials have almost all the fertile land in their own hands. Most of the people have no fields, and some of them are low-income people."

Waiting fields.

Yue Changqing really admired Jing Yi's intelligence, "Yiyi, the people are really lucky to meet you. You are so thoughtful for the people."

I thought those soldiers were really pitiful, so I asked them to set up a big pot in the military camp to cook for them so that they could have a full meal. Then according to your idea, I asked the soldiers to publicize the crimes of those corrupt officials and the crimes of our military camp.

Welfare. I haven't even left the military camp yet, and everyone is asking me to join our Apocalypse Army. How long will it take for such a dynasty to be destroyed?"

Last time, Jing Yi only evacuated their gold, silver, jewelry and other belongings, but the fields and shops owned by each family could not be moved. Now these officials' family properties, the land deeds of the shops, and the land deeds are all in Jing Yi's hands.

In the early morning, the people in the city found that the streets were full of soldiers on guard. The people were so scared that no one dared to go out, and the streets were silent.

Jing Yi said: "All these farmlands will be returned to public ownership. From now on, farmers will be given land to rent according to their population. The rent will be paid after the grain is harvested. The rent will be tentatively set at 30% of the average harvest. The remaining 70% will go to the farmers who rent the middle fields.

All. In this way, the fields will be equalized to the greatest extent, making it much fairer."

The Xue family alone occupies tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Other officials’ families also have a lot of land. These officials occupy almost most of the fertile land in Meizhou Prefecture, and the rest is in the hands of some wealthy businessmen. In other words, the people

There is almost no land, let alone fertile land.

Lin Zhuocheng said: "These corrupt officials really deserve to be killed. It is best to find out how much military expenses the garrison commander has embezzled. Yiyi, you don't know that the soldiers in the military camp outside the city are like beggars. They are all sallow and thin.

At first glance, they looked like they had not had enough to eat. Their clothes were in tatters and they probably hadn’t worn new clothes in several years. Some of them didn’t even have cotton-padded clothes, and their faces were blue from the cold. Their weapons were even worse. Use our steel knife to cut them off.

Just cut it off. Such an army doesn't have much combat effectiveness at all.

Soon, notices to calm the people were posted all over the city. The notices explained the crimes of Xue Wanhe and other officials. In order to uphold justice, the Tianqi Army arrested Xue Wanhe and other corrupt officials, and would then conduct trials. They also promised that the Tianqi Army would not disturb the people.

Let everyone live as usual. The taxes imposed by Xue Wanhe some time ago will also be returned to the people. From now on, Meizhou Mansion will be guarded by the Tianqi Army, so that the people can live a happy and peaceful life.

Many people know the true colors of Xue Wanhe and other corrupt officials, but they dare not speak out because they are weak. Now that someone has come to punish these corrupt officials, they will not only refund them the taxes they collected previously, this is really

Great news.

This Tianqi army occupied Fucheng but did not plunder the people like other armies that occupied the city. Instead, they wanted to give them money. It seems that this army is really good.

Their lives were miserable under Xue Wanhe's rule. Now that someone has rescued them, of course they will support them.
