Turbulent Times Chapter 1022: Challenge the entire noble class

According to the plan, the first operation is to deal with Lu's large amount of land, but Wang Junlin knows that this matter is by no means a simple deal with Lu, because although Lu has fallen, he can clean up as he wants, but this Lu The shi represents the class of nobles and big landlords. If the prefect can turn Lu's farmland into official land and distribute it to those untouchables to grow, how can other big and small landlords and nobles not worry.

"This..." Huang Zhixuan hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"Don't be scruples, you can speak freely if you have any ideas." Wang Junlin saw that Huang Zhixuan was quite scruples, and asked him to speak up.

"To be honest, my lord, I think Du Changshi's move is a good thing, but Du Changshi is a little too hasty." Huang Zhixuan sighed in his heart, and said bravely.

"It's a good thing that you can say that, it shows that your knowledge is already good." Wang Junlin laughed twice, and waved the others to retreat.

Du Ruhui is actually an aristocrat. Although his family is in decline, there are hundreds of acres of fertile land in his hometown, which his family takes care of. However, he strongly advocated that a large amount of Lu's land be collected as official land. This is a kind of family, country and world, and only such a person can become a famous figure of a generation.

It is under Wang Junlin's command. People like Liu Ziming, Lian Zhongtao, Xiang Nan and others are all from poor families. They think that all the property that Lu's plundered under the name should be taken back to the government. This is actually very understandable and it is a matter of course Yes, because it has something to do with their origin.

In other words, people's approval or disapproval of a thing is inseparable from his own position. Huang Zhixuan's family is an aristocrat in Fangcheng County, and his power is not small. There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, so isn't he worried that with Lu's precedent, the farmland in his home will be turned into official land by the prefect one day?

So Huang Zhixuan can say that Du Ruhui's proposal to turn most of Lu's farmland into official land is a good thing.

But other nobles and officials may not have this understanding, or such a high awareness. They don't even think that this is a good thing without a doubt. For them, it is a bad thing that can't be worse.

After the news that Du Ruhui intends to take Lu's property as official land was broadcast, Fanyang County, which seemed to be calm, actually had a bit of an undercurrent. water surface.

Because the thirteen nobles from the three counties in the south are close to the prefect, many nobles in Fanyang County dare not ask the prefect and Du Ruhui for information. In fact, some nobles have been coming to Huang Zhixuan for information these days.

Of course Wang Junlin knows that this cover is not easy to remove, this is him, he can be called the most powerful prefect in the world, otherwise he would not dare to mention such a thing if he were replaced by other prefects, this is to challenge the entire nobles and The behavior of the local classes!

The agricultural land in Fanyang County is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. It has nothing to do with fertile or barren land, paddy fields or dry fields. The main difference is the degree of disaster caused by flooding or drought.

In Fanyang County, the northern counties sometimes suffer from drought, water shortage and unfavorable irrigation, while the southern counties such as Fangcheng are prone to flood disasters, as long as there is no shortage of water, or it is good for drainage and fertilizer accumulation is normal All the fields are Shangtian, and the Shangshutian can even achieve a high yield of four or five shi of grain. The biggest problem is waterlogging.

Wang Junlin had asked Shen Guoer to cooperate with Du Ruhui to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire county. Fanyang County has more than 2.8 million acres of grain land, but in fact Fanyang County has more than 1,000 acres of land. Among them, the Lu family occupied nearly 6 million mu of farmland, and the Lu family was a nobleman with a title and did not need to pay taxes. Other aristocrats, large and small, do not pay taxes or evade taxes, and underreport and conceal more than 400 million acres.

Du Ruhui made a calculation, not to mention taking Lu's land as official land, even finding out all the good land that was concealed by the big and small landlords and nobles without titles in Fanyang County. At least it can be doubled to five or six million mu, or even nearly seven million mu, which is not a particularly surprising thing.

In short, after Shen Guoer's secret investigation and Du Ruhui's detailed calculations, it was discovered that Fanyang County's grain production potential and taxation potential had great potential. This is why Wang Junlin dared to guarantee such a high grain tax to Yang Guang. and one of the main reasons for taxation.

Moreover, in order to increase the grain production of the whole county, Wang Junlin will definitely develop water conservancy projects in Fanyang County in the future. Large numbers of people can be organized to build ditches.

However, the land at this time was occupied or even concealed by nobles and powerful landlords. Even if Wang Junlin made great efforts in water conservancy, even if he promoted Fanyang County's agricultural harvest, the actual benefits would be taken by nobles and powerful landlords. It was impossible to really increase the taxes in Fanyang County by a large margin, and it was impossible for Wang Junlin to support his private hegemony after the food and taxes in Fanyang County were satisfied by the court.

So, although Wang Junlin needs to rely on the power of the local nobles to govern Fanyang County and stabilize Fanyang County, at the same time he has to do some things to find ways to restrain the nobles, especially to find out the hidden fields, and even Collect as much land as possible for the government.

Wang Junlin is actually not afraid of these aristocrats jumping out to make trouble. In fact, wherever Lu’s example is placed, the tiger was beaten half to death. , the Fanyang Academy he planned has just started, and it will take a year at the earliest to train talents who can replace the current county government and eight county officials. This forced Wang Junlin to take a gentle approach to achieve this goal.

Those nobles and big landlords who are worried that the prefect will let them hand over their fields after the precedent of Lu Shi, although people are panicking during this period, under the prefect's vicious name, no one dares to do so. what action.

Everyone understands the principle of "shooting the top bird". After the huge monster, like the emperor of Fanyang County, Mr. Lu was taken care of by the prefect, no one else dared to confront Wang Junlin head-on.

When everyone else went down, only Huang Zhixuan and himself were left, Wang Junlin continued: "Actually, this time I came to Fangcheng County, on the one hand, to urge your county to solve the multi-year flood problem at once this year. On the other hand On the one hand, I want to set up a pilot project in your Fangcheng County."
