"Hey, how do you check this!"

In the backyard of Xinxiang County Government, Yan Fu, the magistrate, held the official documents sent by the imperial court for 800 miles in a hurry, but couldn't help but betray it.

It has been four days since the imperial court sent this document. So far, the only thing he has done is to ask the yamen runners to post notices, as for the others...

Check the land? Check the population? Load commercial tax?

This is simple to say. If he really wants to do it, he really doesn’t know where to start. It’s too difficult!

He has been in Xinxiang County since the third year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the situation in this county is clear.

The county is strictly divided and has five directions.

One is him, the county magistrate.

Second, the major families in the county occupy most of the land in the county, and even the majority of the minor officials at all levels in the county government are children of their families.

The third is the county’s Daheng Money House and Changlong Rice Tour.

The fourth is the Xinxiang Inspection Department, which was also under the jurisdiction of the Li family in the county for a long time. However, with the rebellion of King Shou of the Capital, the Inspection Department participated in the rebellion. Under the order of the emperor, the Inspection Department no longer belonged to the county government and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but was under the jurisdiction of the Five Army Governor's Office. The Li family was directly confiscated and sent to the exile in the last tax case.

The fifth one is the Jinyiwei. Although it is in the dark, it is not well known to everyone for such a long time, but it is also clear.

And this time, the root of the problem lies in land and population.

There is no doubt that these two problems are all related to the major families in the county.

Obviously, in this situation in Xinxiang County, it is okay for him, as a county magistrate, to only do basic tasks, but it is beyond this limit...

That's not ordinary difficulty!

But if you don’t do anything, if you are noticed by the superiors, then his head will definitely not be able to be saved. His family will probably have to be sent to Liaodong.

"Master, Master Liu, Master Li, Master Wu... are all here."

Yan Fu looked up, glanced at the butler who was walking quickly, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Are you all here?"

The housekeeper replied: "The heads of all families are here."

Yan Fu held the official document tightly and frowned. After a while, hesitated and said: "Uncle De, do you think you should see them?"

The housekeeper was stunned and immediately shook his head: "Young Master, if you can, don't see me. If you have to see me, you can't agree to any request."

Yan Fu asked: "Why?"

"I've inquired. These days, their families have been raising money, probably sent to the Jinyiwei."

"But this Xinxiang County is not only the Jinyiwei, but also the Inspection Department, the Daheng Money House, and the Changlong Midtown..."

"Your Majesty has issued an order. Anyone can report any violation of reform. As long as it is found out, it will be rewarded!"

"As such a large Xinxiang County, it is necessary to check the land, count the population, and redistribute the land. It took more than a year before, but it was very popular. I wonder how many ordinary people are waiting to divide the land..."

"No matter how much you win over, it is impossible to win over everyone in Xinxiang County. As long as you miss a little news, it will be over!"

"Besides, so many inspection teams above are personally taken by officials of various departments..."

Yan Fu looked solemn, holding the official document sent by the court tightly in his hand, his thoughts surging like waves, and eventually, they turned into two words.

Pros and cons!

Is it more beneficial than disadvantages? Or is it more harmful than advantages?

After a while, Yan Fu seemed to have made a decision and stood up suddenly:

"Call the officials and runners in the yamen!

"Send someone to the Inspection Department and ask the Inspection Department to cooperate with the official to implement the court's reform order!"

...

At this time, in a house in the northwest corner of Xinxiang County, several Jinyiwei counted the gold and silver sent by major gentry landlords with excitement.

"These bastards are so rich, they don't even blink a thousand taels of silver!"

"If I had known it would have been a little more, this is a damn thing, I'll make a fortune!"

"Boss, if we collect the money, we really don't care about them?"

"Why don't you care?"

Wang Shuo, the chief bannerman of the Jinyiwei, smiled coldly: "We want the money, and we must do the things too!"

"If they really dare to mix together and disobey reform strategies, we will report it. The county magistrates and gentry are in conflict with each other and violate the reform strategies. This is a great contribution!"

"It's enough that we brothers have all advanced to one or two levels!"

"But we have collected the money. If the superiors find out, it will be a serious sin!"

"No, who doesn't love silver!"

Wang Shuo smiled sinisterly: "Disobeying reform, this is a serious crime of raiding the house and exile!"

"The people above are here, don't they love silver?"

"If we search for such a big house, who will care about this little thing!"

"Go, send someone to stare, be careful, don't let them find out."

"We are called getting rich and getting promoted!"

A Jinyiwei asked again: "What are you doing with the money shop? They have been staring at us..."

"What your Majesty's reform requires is land and population. If we don't touch these, we will all drink some soup!"

"They are also humans, how could they not love money!"

"At worst, I can give them some soup. It's impossible for so many wealthy families to be clean. Just one or two of them are enough to divide it!"

...

"The Jinyiwei collected the silver and sent people to stare at the gentry. The inspector's office did not collect the cash, and even drove the people out... The gentry has now arrived at the county yard. However, the county magistrate did not see them, but instead summoned the officials of the yamen and sent people to the inspection department..."

"Our people must have been discovered by the Jinyiwei..."

Several people were also discussing secretly in Xinxiang County and Daheng Money House.

"Even though we know we are watching, we still dare to check in the cash openly..."

"The Jinyiwei is ready to take all!"

"Maintain the business, Jinyiwei sent someone here..."

...

"Sir, why don't you collect the money you delivered to your door?"

The inspector's office asked in confusion.

"Why should I collect it?"

Inspector Shi Gang asked back.

The butler was stunned and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.

"This silver is hot!"

"These families are the grasshoppers in the autumn, and they won't be able to jump for long."

"Now the court is clearly trying to dig out the roots of these people. We will run over and mingle with them, that's stupid!"

"Look at it. There are always idiots in their families who can't see the situation clearly and make some troubles."

"At this time, if something goes wrong, then at least it will be a house search and a man is sent to the public."

"We will just buy a family of people, even if there are tenants in the fields, we won't touch them. If you drink some soup, it will be enough for us to eat a lot."

"Why should we get this hot money..."
