The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 659 The big fish is hooked

Jiang Chuan handed the letter to Bai Jinxiu and said with a smile, "It seems that the fish has already taken the bait. And it's still a big fish."

After reading it, Bai Jinxiu murmured, "The Grand Canal Wharf? That is the largest wharf outside Jeju City. The daily cargo volume and passenger flow are very objective. It can be said that it is a very important transit point on the Grand Canal. The wharf As a result, the surrounding area has become a bustling town with a permanent population of tens of thousands."

"If that person chooses to attack the Universiade Wharf, does he have such great strength?" Bai Jinxiu asked suspiciously.

"That's the problem. I thought that Qin Mu was a small character, but now it looks like a big fish. If it wasn't for the reminder from this anonymous letter, and we had still arranged according to the original plan, we might really have won this person by then. It's a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain." Jiang Chuan nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Then who sent this anonymous letter? Could it be that there is something wrong with that person?" Bai Jinxiu thought about it.

"It's better to believe in something than in nothing. Then Qin Mu dared to do this, betting that the government doesn't have enough power to take care of both the Universiade Wharf and Jining City at the same time. It was right to think so. From the perspective of outsiders, Jining City Now that the dragons have no leader, it is a good time to cause chaos. But he doesn't know that I am here, this is his biggest weakness." Jiang Chuan said confidently.

"I didn't expect so many things to be involved in one assassination case. I never thought of it before I left." Bai Jinxiu sighed.

"This world is far from being peaceful at present. There are many undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm water. We still have a long way to go, and there are still many people to kill." Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Chuan found a map, looked at the map for a while, sat at the table and quickly wrote a few letters, then stamped his own seal, sealed the hole with wax, and sent it out immediately.

Not long after the letter was sent, Xu Qinglang came again.

"My lord, the secret agent Zhang Xianzhong has recruited. From his mouth, we learned that there are still a group of secret agents lurking in the capital. Many people even use aliases to lurk in the residences of some officials and ministers." Xu Qinglang said to Jiang Chuan in a deep voice. reported.

"Send someone to escort him secretly to the capital, Chen Zhaojun knows what to do." Jiang Chuan ordered in a deep voice.

Xu Qinglang took the order, and said: "Young master, Ma Bangde, the general judge of Jezhou, and those police officers have all been recruited. This is the case file, please have a look."

After speaking, he presented a thick statement.

After Jiang Chuan flipped through it quickly, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. Murderous intent burst into his heart, and he said angrily: "These people ransacked their homes and exterminated their families. It is not a pity to die. They will be put in prison for now, and we will deal with it together when Qin Mu arrives at the case."

Xu Qinglang was taken aback by Jiang Chuan's sudden momentum, and hurriedly led away.

Jiang Chuan knew that although he had basically pacified the world in just two years with powerful force, it was only on the surface.

After more than 200 years of rule, the Ming Dynasty has completely declined and decayed, causing many old wounds to the land of Zhongzhou Mainland.

Not to mention anything else, just what is the root cause of the rampage of rogues like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?Just follow the increasingly serious land annexation.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to crack down on the land annexation problem left by the previous dynasty and completely eradicate the root cause of the turmoil in the empire, he made a big move, raised his butcher's knife, and killed countless gentry and landlords, and distributed the land in their hands to farmers for farming.At the same time, crack down on and restrict small landlords and win over ordinary farmers.At the same time, many laws were set to strictly limit the merger and sale of land.

Under heavy blows, those noble gentry and landlords who owned a large amount of land in the world suffered heavy losses, and they were basically cleaned up.

Some small landlords left behind are also trembling, not daring to cross the threshold.

Under such circumstances, the problem of land annexation left over from the previous dynasty was greatly eased, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was rapid and stable, the population increased, and the income soared.

But after the death of Taizu, the emperor who ascended the throne did not have the achievements of Taizu, nor did he have the ambition of Taizu.

In order to successfully ascend the throne, it is necessary to win the support of those aristocratic families.

And these aristocratic families are actually the biggest landlords among the people.

As a result, many laws of the Taizu Dynasty gradually became useless, and land annexation began to become more and more serious.

And once there are natural and man-made disasters, this situation will be even more serious.

In order to survive, the people can only sell their land to those landlords and gentry.

Even if the imperial court has a law that prohibits the sale and purchase of land, those landlords and gentry can still come up with ways to rely on land to exploit loopholes in the law.

As a result, more and more land was in the hands of the landlords and evil gentry, and those peasants who lost their land either became tenants of the landlords or had to go to the cities to work.

And the later the dynasty, the more serious this kind of land annexation.

Jiang Chuan has basically pacified the world now, but he still doesn't care about solving the problem of land annexation.

This is a big project, there is a lot of work to be done, and people to be killed are absolutely indispensable.

But killing is not an end, it's just a means.

If you only kill people, the problem will not be solved in essence, and in the end it will just be a busy day in the mirror.

Successive dynasties adopted many methods to restrain land annexation.

In history, Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng's one whip method in the Ming Dynasty, and the Kangxi period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, such as the reform measures adopted to curb land annexation.

These measures did play a considerable role at that time. The fiscal revenue of the imperial court also skyrocketed in a short period of time, and the population of the world also achieved rapid growth.

However, none of these measures can completely solve the problem of land annexation in the end.

It was not until the establishment of the New Chinatown that this problem was fundamentally resolved.

Land nationalization, all land belongs to the state and collective ownership, no individual is allowed to buy and sell land without permission.Individuals can only have the right to contract and use the land, but they do not have the right to own or sell the land.

In this way, the seemingly unsolvable problem that has plagued all dynasties in history and became the decline and even demise of all dynasties has basically been ended.

Jiang Chuan, as a liberal arts student in his previous life, of course understood all these things.It's just that he hasn't figured out whether he can do this under the current background.

Even if it is done, what kind of level is the most suitable, these are all things that need to be carefully considered.

After all, the social background is completely different.

While thinking about these questions in his mind, Ji Biao suddenly came to report: "My lord, that Miss Xiao Ran is here, she wants to see you, and said she wants to express her gratitude to you face to face."

Jiang Chuan froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Let her wait in the living room, and I'll go there right away."
