Chapter 1599

If millions of people in the two provinces are willing to move, it will greatly increase the number of Han people in other Yang provinces, and will also make the Han culture faster transmitted to other foreign nationalities, so as to continue the Han people's respected customs.

That is to say, we want the people left to have fields to grow. Where do we get the fields?

This requires eating the big families and cutting the big families, that is, the dignitaries and gentry.

If there is no suitable reason before, the assassination of Yang Chendong by the three people in Yunnan has become the best reason. Like Li Jiayin, the deceased owner of the Li family, all his property was confiscated at the first time.

According to afterwards statistics, the Li Jiayin family alone occupied thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the assets of silver, various goods and shops reached 12 million.

When this harvest was reported to the east of Yang Chen, he was also startled. He thought Li Jiayin should be very rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich. It's just a pity that such a rich people is not desirable.

Because the real rich are just some misers. They have only themselves in their hearts, and they can even sell their country and nation for their interests. Just like the eight major businessmen in Shanxi in the late Ming Dynasty, they made money from the government and the people of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, they really invested in the enemy, so that a small JianNu even occupied the great rivers and mountains of China.

Think about it. Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was defeated because he had no money or pay? It is ridiculous that an emperor finally needs to borrow money from his ministers, but no one can borrow it.

I don't know how many good words I said. Finally, I persuaded my father-in-law to give him 30000 liang of silver. It seemed that I was digging my heart and cutting meat. But in fact? When Chuang Wang entered the capital, he found more than 6 million liang of silver from the emperor's father-in-law's house.

So rich, the emperor only took out one twentieth of the money and cried. In the end, one man's money was empty. He must have regretted when he was killed by the broken king, right?

no Not necessarily.

Some people are like this. They don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they don't cry when they see the coffin. They value money more than heaven and more than their own lives. I really don't know how long such people have brains and what they think.

After all, he knew that there was such a thing. Yang Chendong would never allow the same thing to happen in his own Yang Department and under his own eyes. Therefore, he formulated a series of rules from the time of the development of Yang system.

For example, the Yang family encourages business, but the business tax is very heavy, reaching seven out of ten.

That is to say, every time the merchants of the Yang family earn money, they have to pay 700 lines of tax. After removing the due expenses and expenses, only about 50 lines eventually fall into the hands of the merchants. This not only prevents the rise of some merchants, but also fills the national treasury of the Yang family.

In addition, the merchants of the Yang family are not allowed to follow the official position, and they are not allowed within the five blessings. Once found, it will definitely be severely punished. It is not impossible to dismiss officials and punish silver, or to copy families and destroy families.

Since ancient times, collusion between officials and businessmen has always been a major problem, but it is inevitable. Yang Chendong made such a rule when he began to create rules, that is, to prevent someone from being big under his own hands, and finally come to an end, and his children and grandchildren will be controlled by others.

Yang Chendong will never allow his children and grandchildren to borrow money from his ministers one day. That would be a shame and a failure.

After all, the Li family let Yang Chendong see the disadvantages of Daming. While taking warning, he also began to focus on dealing with these people.

To this end, some special rules have been formulated for these dignitaries and rural Kun. For example, ordinary people have the right to choose whether to move or not, or where to move. But these people don't have this right. They not only need to stay away from their hometown, but also need to go to the place designated by the Yang family. Whether you like it or not, they should do so, or the soldiers of the five-star army will teach you how to be a man.

In addition, before migration, conduct in-depth investigation, for example, how are you usually? Whether there is a case of squeezing the people and whether there is a homicide case. If so, I'm sorry. I'll be punished as much as I can. If it involves criminal matters, I'll be sentenced as much as I can. If it even causes deep public resentment, I'll kill my head as soon as I can.

When this policy appeared, it really scared many people. In particular, Qin Yingkang and Wang Shufu were successively escorted to the largest square in Yunnan Province. They held a public criticism meeting and let the people who had suffered from them complain. The scene can really be described as shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods.

Because all the people in the city who heard the news came. It's not too cool to see that the dignitaries who are usually high in the world now bow their heads in front of themselves.

The complaint meeting and complaint meeting were held for one day in each house. Later, it was confirmed that Qin Yingkang committed a heinous crime. He colluded with the government to rob people's good land, occupy real estate, and even force people to die. When the evidence was taken out one by one, Yang Er, on behalf of Yang Chendong, announced that he would be executed on the spot, and his head was cut off in the square.

As for the rest of the Qin family, they were also sentenced one by one. Some were beheaded, and some were sentenced to imprisonment ranging from three to 30 years.

This really shocked a lot of people. When they saw that King Wunan was serious, the people cheered, and the dignitaries turned white. Xiang Kun, who is usually a good man, is better. At least those who cheat people's habits usually faint directly.

The people ran around and told each other of their revenge. They finally turned over and became masters. The next day it was Wang Shufu's turn.

In contrast, Wang Shufu is usually reasonable. At least he didn't kill people himself. There were several bastards in his family. After being found out, he received the corresponding sentence. He himself returned home innocent, but confiscated 90% of his family's property and allowed him to move with the remaining 10% to other provinces designated by the Yang family.

This set of combined boxing is really a measure of reward and punishment. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the Wang family, some people settled down. So far, the powerful groups that had plagued Daming or the dynasties for many years were easily cleaned up by Yang Chendong.

This is Yang Chendong's heart is hard enough. In addition, he is the founder and has the power that no one can restrict. Only then did he dare to do so. If his son wanted to do so, he was afraid it would be more difficult.

Only in this way, once the news is spread, it will inevitably lead to the conflict between dignitaries in other provinces and rural Kun. When Yao Yingjun told Yang Chendong about this worry, he smiled, "it doesn't matter. We didn't mean to reason with others. As long as we join our Yang Department, we either abide by my rules, or find our own life and death. There is no third way to go. Don't worry, they know how to choose."

Yang Chendong has this confidence. Facts have also proved that in the Han land occupied by the Yang family in the future, although the dignitaries and squires offset each other in every way, they did not form a climate and threat in the end. Finally, they changed from opposition to compromise and followed their habits later.

All this proves that as long as you can fight hard, there are no problems that can not be solved. The most important thing is whether this cruel person dares to go down and whether it can be executed.

After dealing with the affairs of Qin and Wang, Yang Chendong handed over these small things to Yao Yingjun. Yao Yingjun's ability is not laborious. Yang Chendong's mind is on taking over Guangxi Province.

The intelligence bureau had already sent a secret report. Guangxi General Bai Kun had contacted the Nanming court and then changed his flag.

Yang Chendong was not surprised by this result. Although in terms of strength, the Yang family is far above the Ming Dynasty, compared with its influence, one of the places in the Han Dynasty is still the world of the Ming Dynasty. Unless Yang Chendong launches a bloody massacre in the land of China like dealing with other aliens, he still needs to listen to the nose of Ming.

Yang Chendong doesn't want to use these means to deal with foreign nationalities unless he has to. Therefore, the most contact may be negotiation or economic blockade.

When it comes to economic blockade, Yang Chendong has already prepared means. Over the years, in order to maintain the relationship with Nanming, Yang Department sold a lot of grain to each other. The price is low, sometimes even cheaper than going to the land itself.

Even many times, the Yang family will sell Nanming grain at a loss in order to make the other party form a habit of trust.

For more than ten years, the effect has been good. At least according to the information investigated by intelligence personnel, there are few squires and people who really grow grain in Nanming. That's a thing that doesn't make money at all. It's better to grow it yourself than to buy it. How would you choose?

The direct result is that there are a lot of uncultivated land in nanmingkong. Basically, a lot of originally fertile land is covered with weeds more than half a person high.

Therefore, Nanming also wanted to manage and tried, but he found that he invested a lot of human and material resources, and the final harvest was not very big. When he had to lose money, no one was thinking about land.

No profit!

Now in Nanming, at least nine and a half of the ten plots of land are barren. At this time, the food supply to Nanming was suddenly cut off. It can be imagined what role it will play.

Of course, the Nanming court was also full of talents. They seemed afraid that this problem would affect the situation of the court, so they built a granary early, filled with food. It is said that it is enough for the whole court and army of the Southern Ming Dynasty to eat for two years. In other words, once the Yangs cut off their food source here, they also have two years to deal with, so that the problem can be solved.

But how could Yang Chendong have no way to threaten the Nanming court with the food problem?
