Han Shizu

Kaibao 25 ​​years, early spring.

Pan You has been in Yangzhai County for almost a month, and supervised the clearance of the last batch of land in Yangzhai nearby. At the same time, the clearance of the land owned by the rich and powerful in the entire Gyeonggi Province has also started. .

Officials from all over the country began to work hard. After repeated tossing and tossing, Mr. Pan's authority was finally established, and the officials below still maintained a heart of awe. After all, most of the official hats were controlled by him.

And the dignitaries from all over the country are also paying attention to the situation in Yangdi. When they know that even such a prick as Dangjin has subdued, they stop making trouble and silently divide the property.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Pan You, who had only rested for a day, couldn't sit still. He called his subordinates and escorted him out to patrol Yangdi.

The spring is cold, the wind is cold and the air is cold, blowing on the face, making people uncomfortable. Touring along the Yingshui River Valley, there are large fields along both sides of the river. Many farmers have already buried their heads in the fields to loosen the soil and prepare for spring plowing. .

Due to the flat terrain, most of Yangzhai's land is sorted out squarely. Compared with those areas with complex terrain, Yangzhai's land is clear and the operation is much less difficult.

Looking around, most of the land has obvious separation standards. There are also wooden signs confirmed by the government on the edge of the fields, which record the information of the land in detail. This is also an important certificate besides the land deed.

In the process of clearing the land, in Yangdi alone, in order to make enough wooden signs, all the trees on a mountain were cut down, and the carpenters in the territory made a lot of money by this.

In Pan You's eyes, these wooden plaques are obviously his political achievements, the results of his work, and the result of his hard work.Although the spring breeze was cold, Pan You's heart was a little hotter.

However, when he visited Zhudian Town on the north bank of Yingshui River, Pan You finally discovered some problems.Standing on the mound, pointing to a large piece of fertile land by the Yingshui River in the distance, Pan You looked indifferent, and asked the left and right in a stern tone: "There are so many miles of land, why is there no mark on this large piece of land? The land in this town has not been cleared yet?"

Hearing the question, one of the subordinates who was with him hesitated for a while, and left quickly. After questioning, he returned with a solemn face, looked at Pan You and replied carefully: "Mr. Hui, part of the land in this town has been cleared Finished, enter the register!"

"Part of it?" Pan You frowned, and immediately asked, "The rest? Why did you leave this tail?"

"This" official showed hesitation, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

Seeing his expression, Pan You's expression became more severe, and he said, "What's so special about Zhuzhuang Town that deserves your concern?"

Facing Pan You's oppressive gaze, the subordinate officer carefully reported: "Mr. Hui, the land that has not been cleared in this town belongs to the Duke of Chu!"

"Chu——" Pan You's voice was stuck in his throat when he was about to explode, and then he asked with a stiff face, "How did Duke Chu own property in this little Yangdi?"

The subordinate officer shrank his neck and replied: "It is said that the Duke of Chu's mansion has a business of dealing in medicinal materials, and most of the land in this town is medicinal fields! The people below are concerned about the status of Duke Chu, so they have never dared to offend!"

"Why didn't you report me before?" Pan You said angrily.

"I want to come. I want to come" The officer wanted to explain something, but he couldn't seem to find a suitable explanation for a while.

Looking up at Pan You, who was deep in thought, he asked tentatively, "Master, do you want to investigate Duke Chu's land?"

"Naturally! In the whole world, there is no king's land, and there is no exception in the land investigation!" Pan You blurted out.

However, although the words were released, Pan You sighed and made the land again: "Don't move for now, let me think about it, and then make the district!"

"Yes!" The subordinate officer was obviously relieved.Pan You has already touched many tiger's buttocks, but the one he met right now is one that really wants to eat people, and he really can't touch it, especially when the holy will is unclear.

Encountering this matter, Pan You was no longer in a good mood, waved his hand, and said, "Let's call it a day and go back to the county!"

"Yes!"

When leaving, Pan Shijun, who was always in high spirits, seemed a little heavy on his steps.

When we returned to Yangzhai County Government Office, the sky was already gloomy, and Pan You's mood, like the dark clouds hanging over the sky at sunset, lingered.

The tax reform work in Gyeonggi-do is now on the right track, and the most critical land issue has basically been overcome. Next, it is just a matter of course, and it will be implemented in accordance with the new tax system.

Along the way, I have been under pressure and touched many interest groups. At this point, some problems that I didn't pay attention to in the past, or deliberately ignored, have finally come to the front.

Not afraid of the rich and powerful, vigorous and resolute, is the symbol of Pan You's governance.However, some problems are beyond Pan You's ability to solve, and some pressures are beyond his ability to bear.

He could not take Li Shouyuan seriously, and he dared to hit the party's head with the killing stick, but when facing the prince and involving the Tian family, he still hesitated.In the final analysis, Pan You's current authority comes from the imperial court system, and in essence, it is bestowed by the imperial power.Chu Gong Liu Shu naturally cannot represent the imperial power, but he is the son of Emperor Liu after all, the prince of the big man.

Tax reform, in the final analysis, is still land reform, and there is no doubt that the largest landlord in the world is the royal family. Not to mention the real estate owned by the sons and grandsons of the emperor and the relatives of the emperor, only the land and manor under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu is a staggering one. Otherwise, in the past so many years, Emperor Liu's rewards to the princes and ministers with villas and fields all came from this, and it was a drop in the bucket.

All the land in the world has to be checked and recorded, and taxes are paid according to the regulations. What about the royal family?Do you want to check?Do you want to collect taxes?Pan You has no way to answer this question, and no one can give him an answer right now.

At the beginning, Pan You also encountered similar problems in order to check the official land and employment land in Gyeonggi Province, but the contradictions and pressures at that time were obviously different compared to this time.

For the tax reform, Pan You offended the bureaucrats and the powerful. If he offended the royal family, Pan You, who had never thought about the future, was a little shocked for a while.

However, after all, Pan You is a person with a strong personality and a firm will, and he can't help but think that the new system covers all cultivated land, and does not single out the royal family's land. It stands to reason that the royal land is also within the scope of the reform.

Your Majesty may ignore it, but when the court princes formulate the regulations, it is impossible to ignore this article.After thinking about it, Pan You finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to do it thoroughly.

Therefore, while sending the flying horse to report the reason to the Zhengshitang, Pan You took his staff and went to Zhuzhuang Town on the second day. The decree, and personally brought people and tools to participate in the specific implementation.

When Pan You reached out to Duke Chu's mansion, those who heard the news were surprised and admired. Of course, most of them were gloating. I really dare to touch the reverse scale of the dragon.

Even Dang Jin, after hearing the news, couldn't help but get up from his sick bed, amazed and amazed.The Ninth Prince Liu Shu, Dang Jin naturally had some contacts, and the Dang family had a lot of help in his medicinal material business, but he was even more messed up than his Dang Hou Ye.It is conceivable how one would react upon hearing this.

Following Pan Youzai's actions, Yangdi once again became a focus, and both the government and the opposition paid attention.Of course, as things progressed, Pan You's side was no longer the focus, and everything had already been done. On the contrary, many people turned their attention to the court, to Emperor Liu, to see how he would react.

Many nobles have this idea. Your Majesty wants to investigate our land and force us to pay taxes. Due to your authority, you accept it and give in. But things must be done fairly, and you must be convinced.

Although Liu Shu is a prince, he is also honorable and should be treated equally.Of course, it doesn't matter if they are treated differently, just don't blame everyone for saying weird things.

If Liu Shu's land is included in the tax calculation, what about other nobles and relatives of the emperor?What about the royal land managed by the Shaofu?

With Pan You piercing that layer of window paper, the tax reform was finally changed to Emperor Liu himself
