Chapter 998: A truly miserable scholar

The scholar cried for a while and his voice became hoarse.

When a man is really angry, he can even take five steps with blood splattering. When this scholar gets angry, he only gets angry for a short time. He deserves to be bullied to death.

It took a while before Gao Hanwen heard the whole story.

It turns out that after the orthodox religion entered the country, there was an immediate development of people joining the religion in rural areas, and all kinds of rice porridge were distributed as if they were free.

It quickly established a foothold in the countryside.

The main reason is that Zhangde Mansion is close to Beizhili and was used as a model first, so all work was naturally accelerated.

Gao Hanwen used his brain a little and understood that Zhangde Mansion was closest to Beizhili, and it could be said that it blocked the throat of Henan refugees fleeing to Beijing. Taking good care of this place so that no refugees come to Beijing is a great achievement.

As for how there were no refugees in Beijing, that is another story. It's a pity that this little scholar only has this knowledge, and he still doesn't understand why his hometown is being targeted.

The combination of the rural poor and the urban vagrants led the Orthodox Church to completely control Zhangde Mansion.

After getting the benefits, naturally you have to do something. Orthodox white rice porridge is not blown by strong winds.

Soon, the imperial court re-measured the land and ordered the government to investigate hidden fields. Naturally, these people acted as local spies and insiders.

Especially in the simple church shed that was built, everyone told about so-and-so in the village, who relied on the power of others, and who made a fortune just by sending his fields to a certain official and gentry's house to avoid the court's taxes. He actually yelled and drank.

Especially when the pastor publicized that it was these people who were responsible for the increase in taxes on ordinary people who had no means, everyone suddenly started to share the same hatred.

In Henan, the tax burden is never too heavy on average, but the difference is huge. Because there are enough vassal kings and clans to enfeoff. As long as anyone with connections in this place sends the tax to the name of the clan king, the tax burden is almost not paid to both ends. It is neither paid to the court nor the feudal king, and only needs to pay some filial piety to the shopkeepers under the feudal king. Those days were still very comfortable.

The second is that they all gather into the traditional gentry or official gentry families such as scholars.

Those who bear the heaviest tax burden are independent farmers, small landowners and their tenants. This group of people only knows how to farm, but they are reluctant to run away and don't know or can't make connections. If you don't accept this group of people, who will you accept?

But these are homeless homeless people who have no fixed abodes or have broken down residences. No matter how much tax they pay, they can't get a hair out of them. Just like a person cannot pluck out a hair from his bald head.

Although the poor and scoundrels have nothing, they are the most severely discriminated against. Even the honest and honest tenants look down on this group of people. Naturally, this time we must seize the rare opportunity to make a comeback.

Compared to those idiots who have worked hard all their lives as tenants, those of us who seize the spotlight are the most popular people.

And Orthodoxy provides a good reason, that isThe poorer the delinquents are, the more miserable the unscrupulous gentry can be with the hard-working tenants. After all, if you don't agree, you will fall into such a miserable scoundrel state. And the lower the price the tenants push for, the worse off the scoundrel will naturally be. Otherwise, the tenants would not work hard.

Those hard-working tenants are essentially peasant thieves. The harder they work, not only

the reason is that the taxes of the imperial court are passed on to the tenants and other vast numbers of people by these gentry. The peasants are in trouble. Unless these gentry who are hiding in the fields are uncovered, the peasants will not be able to reap the benefits. And those tenant farmers who only wanted to work hard with the gentry were also targets to be defeated as peasant thieves. Without their cooperation, the lives of farmers would not be so stressful.

This set of chariot words is very appealing. The lowest level scoundrels have lost their residence, and the tenant farmers in the countryside are afraid of being labeled as peasant thieves, so naturally they are eager to expose them.

The good and the bad among the gentry are mixed, and this has been the case since ancient times. However, the focus of this inspection by the imperial court was on the gentry who did not have the status of a capital official and were not the chief officer of the second division of the feudal dynasty.

On the one hand, it advertises to save the people, but on the other hand, the feudal government is amassing money. Almost 90% of the exposed land was directly acquired by the government. This completely dumbfounded the farmers who joined in at the beginning and just wanted to get their fields back without having to pay handling fees in the future.

Of course, this unlucky scholar's family was naturally taken under the official title just because the highest ranking member in the family was a civil servant. He had not yet gone to the capital to be awarded an official position.

Of course, Orthodoxy is still very humane. Hidden fields are directly taken back to the government, and the part that is sent to others is punished. Penalizing land means that an equal amount of land must be returned to the government, and the land sent by other farmers must be returned to others. But because the court has priority. The gentry only had one share of land, so they could only give it to the government first, and then negotiate among themselves to pay compensation to the farmers who did not receive their land back.

As for how to negotiate and whether there will be trouble after the negotiation, that is another matter. The pastor is right there, so he doesn't understand how to deal with people.

This scholar's family thought it would be fine if they lost money at first, but ended up being repeatedly sued for compensation, losing their land, and their family was completely ruined. Of course, there is still a juren in the family. As long as he can go to Beizhili and go to Beijing to respond, there is a glimmer of hope.

As a result, first of all, the advantages of Zhangde Mansion came out. The border between Zhangde Mansion and Beizhili was densely patrolled by religious people. My grandfather was labeled a rioter and was beaten to death on the spot. After his father escaped and returned, he dismissed the whole family. His mother, aunt, and several younger brothers and sisters went to the house of his uncle who had once despised the military residence to take refuge. Fortunately, the orthodox church had not yet made trouble inside the guardhouse. My father would stay at home and be watched all day long, and he would go out to the streets every few days to sue himself for his crimes.

I can’t figure it out, so I plan to go south and try my best to tell the truth about the orthodox religion. Fortunately, the defense in the south was empty before. After escaping into South Zhili, no one accepted the complaint and was even beaten. Fortunately, the money has not been lost. I came to Hangzhou non-stop again. So far, I have exhausted all my expenses and have no way to complain.Wouldn't it be painful if all the hard work of generations was turned into ashes in one fell swoop?
