Chapter 635

Wang Zhong didn't expect that there were so many problems for the people below.

You know, this is around the capital, so there are already many victims.

"Rest assured, I have remembered your question. I will report it to the emperor later and give you an explanation."

After leaving here, it was getting dark.

However, Wang Chong didn't go back, but found an inn nearby to stay.

In the next few days, Wang Chong took people for a few rounds in the nearby village to get to know the people and then went back.

After returning to the palace, the matter about the Ye family was investigated clearly.

In fact, it's easy to investigate. The Ye family is a famous big landlord in that place, with thousands of acres of fertile land.

Thanks to their wealth, the Ye family had friends with many court officials.

Due to the excessive concentration of fertile land in the hands of the Ye family, the surrounding people have no land to cultivate and can only rent his family's land to cultivate.

But in this way, in case of disastrous weather, the people simply can't take out silver to pay the land rent.

Rao was so powerful that the Ye family forced the people to pay the rent, making the people's complaints boiling.

After knowing this, Wang Zhong's plan to divide the land became stronger.

Later, Wang Chong came to Zhao Luan and said the plan.

"Divide the fields!"

After listening to Wang Zhong's words, Zhao Luan was surprised: "emperor, divide the land of the landlords. This will cause unrest, and those big landlords may turn against..."

"I also know that there will be chaos, so I'm not thinking about how to divide it."

Wang Chong stamped a few steps. In his impression, it was not the emperor who divided the land among the local tyrants, because it would cause instability.

However, if he did not do so, it would be difficult for him to improve the national strength of Dayan Dynasty.

"By the way, emperor, what do you do with the bully young master of the Ye family who was arrested that day?" Zhao Luan inquired.

Wang Chong's heart moved: "yes, there is another him."

Wang Zhong suddenly smiled, "I know how to deal with those landlords."

"The emperor knows?"

Zhao Luan's eyes were wide open, obviously curious.

"Well, carrying out the land reform is really easy to cause trouble for the landlords. In that case, I'll break it one by one. Although it's a little slow, it's safe."

Zhao Luan is a smart woman. When Wang Chong said this, she instantly knew Wang Chong's intention.

"Many of these landlords are secretly unclean. If they can be broken one by one and cleaned up one by one, it's really good."

"Let's start with this... Young master Ye."

At this moment, ye Fu is in the middle.

The Ye family has been entrenched here for hundreds of years, and no one knows it around here.

There are many descendants in the Ye family, some of whom are talented and have become junior officials, but most of them are ignorant.

However, no matter how many people are ignorant and incompetent, they have done a lot of bad things, but the Ye family is still powerful, and even the nearby county magistrate is polite to them.

But today, the Ye family is facing great enemies, especially the ye Zhongsu, the head of the Ye family, who is listening to the news that the housekeeper has heard.

"Master, the young master was caught on the spot by the imperial envoy when he was forcibly robbing the civilian women, and was taken away at that time."

After so many days, he finally knew the whereabouts of his little son.

Ye Zhongsu rubbed his forehead with a headache.

The youngest son is his favorite son. I didn't expect to cause him so much trouble.

In the past, he had entrusted a few familiar senior officials to fish for people.

But not now.

Recently, the emperor killed many corrupt officials, which made the imperial court jittery. Not to mention taking bribes, he didn't even dare to take a sesame.

Let them go fishing, what do you think?

What's more, ye Zhongsu didn't dare to fish for people in the spotlight, so at the first time, he said to the housekeeper, "call all the family out, and I want to announce something."

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Since I don't have this son, I'll drive him out of the house."

"Ah!"

The housekeeper was stunned, but seeing the master's serious appearance, he knew that this was the result of the master's careful consideration: "I'll arrange it right away."

"Master, suddenly there are many officers and soldiers outside the door."

Just then, a servant came to report.

Ye Zhongsu's heart clicked: "how many people?"

"There are many, which surround us here."

Ye Zhongsu's heart sank, "follow me out."

Out of the door, looking at countless officers and soldiers, ye Zhongsu fell into the ice, and his son really got into trouble.

The leader was Xiejin, the supervisor of the East factory. He glanced at ye Zhongsu and said, "by the emperor's order, our family came to talk about something."

"Please forgive me for not knowing your father-in-law's presence."

Ye Zhongsu lowered his attitude and hurriedly invited Xie Jin in.

After entering the room, ye Zhongsu said to the servant, "go and get the best tea."

"No need, Lord Ye. We came here today to talk about something. We'll leave as soon as we agree."

"Please tell my father-in-law that I will help ye Zhongsu if I can."

"Hehe, it's like this. Your son has caused some things. Relying on your Ye family's great cause, he even forcibly robbed civilian women."

"I heard about it. I'm really ashamed, so I just announced that he is no longer my son." Ye Zhongsu quickly stated his position.

"It's a pity that it's too late. Lord Ye, the emperor is very angry. He said that your big family, big family and great cause, has raised too many unfilial children, so he ordered our family to come and copy your family

"What." Ye Zhongsu almost couldn't stand steadily. After being helped by the servants, he knelt on the spot: "please be kind to the emperor, please be kind to the Emperor..."

"Don't worry, Lord Ye. The emperor is Ming Jun, and he knows that it's not wise to copy the family for no reason, but now your son has caused a lot of public anger

Ye Zhongsu heard that there seemed to be room for turning around in Xie Jin's words, and hurriedly asked, "please remind my father-in-law what I should do."

"As you know, except for many corrupt officials not long ago, the people were originally very happy, but now winter is coming. It's cold and the people's hearts are unstable. Originally, the emperor meant to rob the family, but fortunately, he was also afraid of killing innocent people."

"Yes, yes, the emperor is gracious. I keep Ye Jiaming in mind, but what do you want me to do?"

"For the emperor, as long as the people's grievances are calmed down, you ye family have so much land, take out two-thirds of the area and give it to the people."

"Ah!"

Ye Zhongsu was stunned and said with an ugly face, "two thirds of this at once... But these lands are left by my Ye family ancestors."

"Hum, the emperor has checked, and less than half of the meeting place of your ancestors' three generations is now. It was collected and scraped from the people a little later. Do you think the emperor doesn't know? Giving you this way of life now is a great kindness of the emperor, otherwise, if you cause public anger, don't hang on to the emperor and don't show mercy."

"Father in law, if the emperor can leave my Ye family foundation, my Ye family is willing to give the emperor millions of silver as a gift of thanks."

"What? I want to bribe the emperor." Xie Jin sneered: "save it. Now the Holy Lord is dedicated to the people. If you want your silver, it's impossible to collect it and distribute it to the people. Do you know that if you think carefully again, don't hang up. Our family didn't remind you."

"Well, the emperor even brought you the map. Hand over the title deed."

Xie Jin slowly took out the map and smiled at ye Zhongsu.

Ye Zhongsu twitched at the corners of his mouth, and he wanted to refuse, but now a group of soldiers have surrounded his home. If he really tore his face and directly came to steal his home, it would be really troublesome.

"Lord Ye, why don't you answer?" Xie Jin youyou said, "our family still has to go back to the emperor's life. Don't let the emperor wait."

"Grandpa, i... I know."

As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh. Xie Jin has already said this for his own sake. If he still doesn't know the truth, he will be in trouble.

Then, according to Xie Jin's map, ye Zhongsu handed over two-thirds of the title deeds.

"Thank you, Lord Ye. We'll go back and reply to the emperor now. We must say a few words to you."

Ye Zhongsu pulled out an ugly smile: "thank you, father-in-law."

"By the way, now that you have handed over the title deed, return your precious son to you. The emperor has given him good food and drink to serve these days, and has not embarrassed him."

Let the servant bring ye Zhongsu's son, and Xie Jin turns around and leaves.

"Dad..."

The young man in prison clothes saw his father and hurriedly climbed over.

"I don't have your son."

Ye Zhongsu kicked him away and roared angrily.

palace.

Wang Chongzheng is correcting the memorial.

Because of the recent great reform in the palace, memorials from many places have been sent up one after another, and Wang important corrected them personally.

After reading a lot of memorials, Wang Chong frowned deeper and deeper.

There have been frozen deaths in several places, especially in some remote areas, where there have been large-scale bandits.

These bandits are extremely arrogant. They not only rob villagers, but also harass passing caravans along the way.

At present, there are no caravans in and out of many areas, resulting in soaring prices in the city and insufficient supplies. If this continues, people will not only freeze to death, but even starve to death.

Originally, Wang Zhong intended to divide the fields, but after reading these memorials, he felt that there were three problems at present.

First: victims.

Second: bandits.

Third: grain!

Food is the most important thing for the people. Without food, there will really be trouble.

"Mate, how is the purchase of grain and grass these days?" Wang Chongchao asked hetaigao on one side.

"It is being purchased, but the effect is not ideal. Many big families say they have no grain in hand, but in the view of old slaves, I'm afraid it's because they want to make a national fortune."

When the country is in danger, some businessmen will always hoard goods, raise food prices and make money.

Therefore, Wang Zhong wants to collect food and grass to relieve the victims these days, but he can't get much food and grass at all.

"Check, it's mainly several aristocratic families who check the wholesale of grain and grass. I'll catch them all!"

At this time, I still want to make money. How can I solve my hatred without killing a few.

The next morning, it was cold.

Dozens of ministers have been waiting for a long time at the entrance of Jinluan hall, but they still don't see the door of Jinluan hall open.

"Hey, I heard that there were many victims recently. Several merchants came to say that the motorcade was robbed." A minister said sadly.

"This is still good. The food price in the city has doubled."
