Chapter 542

Liu Yuanqiao was in the prison. After seeing the bereaved dog Liu Zeqing once, he publicly announced that Liu Zeqing would be tried in public three days later. Even his charges had been decided, up to 108

As soon as Liu Bu heard 108 charges, he was surprised that someone had committed so many crimes. Should he have committed all the laws and decrees in the Ming Law? Or Liu Jiajun pressed it indiscriminately.

It seems that since ancient times, traitors and evildoers have committed 108 major crimes. It seems that if they are not given 108 major crimes, they will be sorry for their reputation.

If Liu Jiajun did the same, it would be a little vulgar.

However, song xiance, one of Liu Bu's military divisions, told him that Liu Zeqing really committed so many crimes. During his stay in Jinan, he committed countless evil deeds. Every crime is well-documented. There is evidence and material evidence. Today, he is full of evil and retribution. "

Liu Bu was a little interested. He said, "is it true that someone is so evil and has committed so many crimes?"

Song xiance said to him, "Liu Zeqing alone has hundreds of wives and concubines. Do you think these people are voluntary? Moreover, most of his servants are robbed, and it is estimated that they are not voluntary? He is also a big landlord in Jinan, second only to King de. so much land should not be sold to him voluntarily?"

Nowadays, people regard land as their lifeblood. They will never sell land unless they have to. Anyone who sells land for any reason will be regarded as unfilial. Liu Zeqing can become the biggest landlord in Jinan after King de. this really explains the problem. Only the parties can know the blood and tears, Will understand.

Liu Bu heard song xiance say these words, but he was a little silent. He didn't want to excuse Liu Zeqing, but thought that the treacherous officials of this era were greedy for money. It's too stupid. Except that silver is important land, these are basically checked and accurate, because these corrupt officials are greedy for less money, he despises it, and it's also a problem to put more money, Another point is that when these people have money, they like to buy fields, land and luxury houses for enjoyment. These things are checked and accurate.

Not to mention that he secretly set up cards to collect taxes, deduct military pay, drink military blood, etc. he read 108 charges on the indictment, as well as a lot of personal and material evidence attached to it. He felt that this person was too failed to be a general. Where is a general? It was clear that he was just a bandit bully, and there was no technical content in his crimes.

The Liu family started from business. Although their official position before staying at home was the Deputy principal of Linqing customs, how much money can they be greedy for? After all, he has many people to manage. The reason why the Liu family has developed into such a huge scale today is that he took advantage of his power to smuggle, evade taxes and abuse power for personal gain.

Even on the face of it, these are not illegal, because they are also officials. They are tax-free and do not have to pay taxes. Therefore, they say that their family's money started from business. Therefore, they especially despise the landlords and rich who can only dig in the ground and squeeze a few mouthfuls of rations from the common people.

Even today, with the huge situation of the Liu family, their main income does not depend on the tax of the land, but on their business and other people's money. Because the main income of the Liu family does not come from the land, they don't pay so much attention to the land. Even Liu Yuanqiao knows that, That is, the things planed out in the ground are always limited. Only when you do business is unlimited. You can make three or even ten times the profits of two people, which can make people eat enough and have no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, the policies implemented by the Liu family in the east third house have won the hearts of the people, that is, they have collected extremely low land tax, and they have not tried to squeeze the hard ha ha people who depend on farming. The Liu family really despises their rations. If they get money in other ways, they won't want to get money from the land.

The common people these days don't look like future generations can run around the country to work. If you dare to run around, this is the refugee, this is the bandit. It means that the court will destroy you without permission. Therefore, they can only stay here and rely on farming to get enough food, support their parents and reproduce their children.

The Liu family's light corvee and meager taxes make many people feel that this is a paradise in troubled times, and the official here is Qingtian regeneration.

Liu Bu sighed that the people of this era are so simple. As long as they have enough food, clothes and farmland, these people will read your good and support you with an iron heart.

Liu Jiajun can have today's huge situation. It's not that they deceived the people with their rhetoric, nor did they buy the people's hearts with despicable means. It's that they really let the people eat, wear clothes and plough. The people support them. Everything is so simple.

People of this era, they will use the classical Chinese saying: "water can carry a boat, but also overturn it!" In the words of the Liu family, if the people have enough food, clothes and housing, they will support you. None of Liu Jiajun's officials flaunt themselves as honest officials, and none of them can only talk without doing anything. They have only one thing, that is, they must make achievements.

Although the Liu family does not attach importance to the land tax, they attach great importance to farming. They have always advised them to teach agriculture and mulberry and develop the economy. The success of their officials is not how they have a good reputation and how to educate the place, but how many wastelands they have opened, how much land they have planted and how much grain they have received this year, which is the standard for assessing their officials, This is equivalent to that future generations only recognize GDP and do not recognize that others are the same.

They encouraged the people to cultivate a lot, but they would not take the grain from the people. In their words, this is the possession of wealth to the people. The Liu family dares to force it like this. It must be because Liu Bu plundered a lot of silver from the south of the Yangtze River, and their money is too much to spend, so they can be generous and implement various policies, It is estimated that the imperial court is not as forthright as they are.

Liu Bu sighed when he saw that these officials and local tyrants of this era were basically working hard to squeeze the people and scrape food from the ground.

Because all the income of Daming is only in the fields, they will be tragic when the little ice age strikes. In fact, as a large agricultural country, grain is the top priority. If they fail to harvest grain, it will be a very embarrassing problem.

As a big food country, they will not import food from Siam or Vietnam because they have enough food themselves.

Even if some businessmen did not fear difficulties and dangers and transported grain from distant Nanyang, they all regarded these grains as strange goods and strategic materials for investment. In short, they raised the price to sell, which made the situation of Daming even more collapse.

Liu Buhe thought that the structure of Daming was very problematic. The main problems of Daming were the population crisis, land crisis, food crisis and several crises. The imperial court did not take any effective measures. It only knew that it oppressed the people and eventually made the people in dire straits. The world is big and everywhere is against it, which made the officers and soldiers tired of running, To the point where the sun is setting today.

In the past, Liu Bu knew that Liu Zeqing, as the chief soldier of Shandong, had made a lot of money, but today they copied Liu Zeqing's home and knew that Liu Zeqing was not generally rich.

Most of Liu Zeqing's troops only have a suit of clothes, a gun and a knife. Even these things can't be matched. When soldiers are caught by him as soldiers, they have to send money from home to buy knives and clothes.

Liu Zeqing's withholding of military pay is even more open. In his army, only a group of family members can eat enough and only his family members can receive full military pay. The rest are half starved by him, which makes Liu Zeqing accumulate a lot of wealth. What has he accumulated so much wealth for? He built a huge mansion in Jinan, bought a large number of manors and fields outside the city, and bought a large number of beautiful women from the south for him to enjoy. Moreover, he also purchased a large number of calligraphy, paintings and antiques. These were not what he wanted, but bought to please the Donglin leaders behind him. After Liu Jiajun copied Liu Zeqing's home, Only then did I find that this man was so rich.

Liu Jiajun has money, but they spend all their money on the army to improve the equipment and food of the army and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Liu Zeqing only wants to spend his money on his servants. As for other soldiers, they can't even eat a meal. Now he has been defeated. These treasures he plundered through various illegal and bloody means, They all fell into the hands of Liu Jiajun.

Liu Jiajun confiscated these treasures without hesitation. Some of them were distributed to meritorious people, and all the others were collected in their warehouse to support their development.

It can be said that they copied Liu Zeqing and supplemented all the military expenses they spent on sending a large army to attack Jinan. As the saying goes, once the cannon rings, there is ten thousand liang of gold. Even the imperial court is afraid of war because there is no money.

Liu Jiajun made a plan to spend millions this time. Who knows, after they spent their money, they seized Jinan government, and the return was unimaginable and extremely amazing. They just copied Liu Zeqing's home, and they have received so much money and food to make up for their expenses.

Liu Bu is very happy and relieved, which means that they have the ability of sustainable development. At this time, Liu Bu's eyes are fixed on the German palace in the city.

Everyone knows that the richest man in Jinan is Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany.

It is said that three tenths of the shops and lands in Jinan are owned by Prince De's house, and most of the manor fields outside the city are also owned by Prince De's house. Prince De's house is the richest local tyrant in Jinan. Liu Bu thought that even Liu Zeqing copied it, so he didn't have to be polite to Prince De's house.
