"You can't remember it wrong, right?" Liu Chun said to Liu San in a low voice.

The third master turned his eyes and said, "Little bastard, what does your father do? It's true that I don't care about this piece of land, but if I can't remember it, I would underestimate me too much."

Liu Chun's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "So, they have occupied our land. According to the provisions of the "Great Edict", how should we deal with them?"

Liu Chun's eyes were shiny, and he couldn't wait to test it out. Is Comrade Zhu's decree really that useful?

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was the best emperor to the people, and this sentence is not just a simple word or just a casual statement.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a miserable child. When he was a child, he was tortured and his family smuggled and fled, which was extremely miserable. After becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang tried every means to prevent officials from oppressing the good.

First of all, officials are responsible for collecting money and grain, often making a clever name, making a lot of tyrants and taxes, and sucking bones and marrow.

Lao Zhu met with tit-for-tat and set up a grain chief to be responsible for collecting land taxes. He divided the world into several grain areas, and selected families with a lot of grain to serve as grain chiefs, and was responsible for sending land taxes from the grain district to Taicang.

Anyone who has completed the situation well will summon him personally, give him rewards, or even give him a direct result to the official.

Separating officials from taxes naturally cut off the claws of corruption.

Lao Zhu also revised the "Great Edict" several times. Unlike the boring legal provisions, Zhu Yuanzhang personally revised the Great Edict, which is straightforward and mainly based on cases. It is easy to understand.

Among them, it lists crimes such as slandering the emperor, forming gangs and chaotic governments, neglecting officials and soldiers, abusing themselves to establish corruption and bribery, collecting and harming the people, embezzling money and food, etc.

The crimes of corruption alone account for about half of all crimes, including those who are greedy for the people, embezzlement of taxes and grains; those who sell official positions and private servants; those who take trouble with the people and embezzle business taxes; those who report disasters and invade relief; and other various cases of corruption and bribery.

All such criminals are sentenced to severe punishment. Those who sell official goods and sell wealth and poor will be punished by the clan; those who take corruption and bribes and make money will be executed by scattered people; those who sell grain in warehouses will be tattooed in ink, pick up tendons and remove knees, and the famous "human skin pillow", all show the idea of ​​using heavy sanitation in troubled times.

It is not enough to have laws alone. Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that every household, all the people of the Ming Dynasty, would have a copy of the "Great Edict" and issued an order for officials and schools in various places to preach the content of the Great Edict to the people.

What's even more amazing is that Zhu Yuanzhang even gave the people the power to capture officials!

If an official goes to the countryside to commit crimes, the local clan elders can arrest the criminal officials and hand them over to the superior yamen for disposal. If the superior yamen is not useful, he can directly send him to the capital city, knock on the drums of injustice outside the Meridian Gate, and find Lao Zhu out to uphold justice.

Of course, this extreme situation is difficult to happen, but Zhu Yuanzhang put forward an attitude and never tolerate corrupt officials. With the support of the emperor, the people in the early Ming Dynasty were very brave.

In addition, the dynasty was first established, with an average land area, and every household had some land, while the wealthy and wealthy merchants were very limited, so the officials and gentry were killed by Lao Zhu.

Overall, the Ming Dynasty was very peaceful and equal, and it was a standard "olive-shaped" society. Just imagine that even the emperor was so close to the people, would other people dare to go too far?

But then again, not every place is so harmonious.

Take Peiping as an example. Since Shi Jingtang presented the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, this area has been under the rule of barbarians since then.

The Khitan, Jin, and Mongolia, the Han people around Peking were seriously transformed and formed a very special ethnic group.

Lao Zhu kept immigrating to Beiping to change the population structure and consolidate the border.

The situation in the entire Peking area is getting better, but there are also some bold and arrogant people.

Just like the Lu family in front of you!

"You open your eyes and see whose land is here? Leave quickly and be careful of the lawsuit!" Liu Chun hugged his shoulders and said in a great momentum. There was no way, the third master was too lazy to spit, so he could only let his son come.

The old man from the Lu family frowned slightly. Liu San had not cultivated the land for several years, so he wanted to take it to his own hands, but he did not expect that he would actually collide with Liu San.

The old man hesitated a little, but the young scholar said, "Uncle, don't be afraid, I know this little bastard!" He gritted his teeth and said, "He is an idle person from the Jinyiwei Gang!"

The so-called idle helper is a diner raised by wealthy families. When they are free, they will enjoy themselves and occasionally act as thugs.

That day, Liu Chun spoke up for the Jinyiwei, scaring the one named Lu to flee.

Afterwards, the man surnamed Lu realized that it turned out that on that day, the court issued another order and deposed it together with the Jinyiwei!

He was so upset!

I wish I could find a place where no one was, and slap myself in two mouths.

Why are you so timid?

If he holds it up and scolds the Jinyiwei, he might become famous all at once. His eldest brother is a student from Peking. If he can squeeze into the county school, their Lu family will be able to be at the edge of scholars!

It’s all because I’m not brave enough!

This time, you must be hard!

He rushed out in a few steps, forked his waist and curled his lips, full of excitement!

"Boy, the Jinyiwei is finished, your backer is gone!" Lu Shusheng said loudly: "If you know the truth, get out of here. This wasteland is all from our Lu family. If you don't know the truth, you will have to suffer in your flesh!"

He shouted at the thugs on both sides: "Don't be afraid, they rely on the support of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei is over, and they can't get better! Let's go together and beat me hard and kill the Jinyiwei's lackeys!"

Shusheng Lu shouted wildly, not taking the father and son seriously at all.

Liu Chun counted and found that there were seven people in the Lu family. They all said that two fists could not match four hands. I don’t know if the third master can succeed?

"A hero will not suffer the loss in front of us, so we will not be embarrassed if we retreat!" Liu Chun comforted.

The third master snorted with his nose.

Not to mention a few rustic thugs, even if there are ten or eight Tartars, the third master doesn’t care!

He suddenly took a few steps forward, and the momentum alone made the thugs of the Lu family keep retreating. The third master sneered, and he put one hand behind him.

"Let's go together, Master Third hits you, one punch! One more punch, I'll lose!"

Liu San did what he said, and he rushed forward suddenly, swung out with a punch, as fast as lightning. The guy on the opposite side was hit in the chest without having time to dodge, as if he was hit by a hammer, flew out of his body, lay on the ground, fainting directly!

The third master raised his iron fist, "Who wants to taste it?"

At this moment, the third master was so majestic.

Liu Chun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

So manly!

When you have time, you must learn a few tricks from your cheap godfather. It’s different to know how to do kung fu!

The third master was about to send out a few other wastes when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves. Liu Chun looked up and found that a few war horses were running down the hillside. The leader was not someone else, but Zhu Neng, a thousand households of the Yan Palace.

He was quite far away, so he jumped off his war horse and ran over quickly.

Zhu Neng picked up picture books for Xiaopangdun several times, and was very familiar with Liu Chun.

"The King of Yan specially asked me to invite you father and son to Peking, and there is military information and matters!"

Liu Chun's eyebrows were clumped and unfolded in an instant... He guessed that it was probably because of the military sent to the capital, and Lao Zhu made a decision. If it weren't for the sake of war, the thousand households in the royal palace would not have chased them for dozens of miles and asked them back in person.

Liu Chun's eyes rolled and said helplessly: "Brother Zhu, it's not that we don't listen to the prince's orders. Look, they are holding swords, guns and sticks and want to take away our land!"

Zhu Neng had seen the people from the Lu family for a long time, and he laughed, "I'm so brave that I dare to bully the prince's guests. Brothers, come on it!"

The guards of the Yan Prince's Mansion pounced on them like wolves and tigers.

The old men of the Lu family were stunned. Didn’t the nephew say, were they relying on the Jinyiwei? Why did the Yan Prince’s Mansion appear again? If I had known that they had such a great power, who would have dared to seek death?

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!" The old man didn't care about blaming his nephew, and he kept begging.

Zhu Neng looked back at Liu Chun, what do you think you should do? Is it flat or round, give me an order!

Liu Chun walked over with a smile, "Do you think it's a misunderstanding?"

"That's right! It's all a misunderstanding!" The old man nodded desperately.

Liu Chun laughed even happier, "Okay, since there is a misunderstanding, it must be eliminated, do you think so?"

The old man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I am willing to respect ten taels of silver! Resolve the misunderstanding!"

Ten taels? A beggar!

Liu Chun snorted, "I am a person who never opens my mouth. This is one hundred acres of land, and one stone of grain is produced by one acre. It is calculated in three years and it is all converted into money and compensate us. Even if it is done, what?"

The old man is stupid, why don’t you snatch it?

We just planned to cultivate, but before the cultivation was built, you would have to have three years of harvest. Besides, even if you have such a slope, can you produce one stone of grain?

Liu Chun smiled slightly, turned to Zhu Neng and said, "Brother, is it considered a powerful person to occupy the people's fields like this and bully people with power? Can the court have laws against the powerful person?"
Chapter completed!
