In fact, Shandong was already bustling when Wang Xijue didn't go there.

The court was paying attention to Shandong, and Shandong was also paying attention to the court. After all, this matter was a big deal. While Shandong gentry was fighting against the court, they were also frightened. No one knew what the court would do.

Especially the Kong family, this time the Kong family did not give the emperor a favor, and the Kong family was also waiting for the emperor's reaction.

The news soon reached the ground in Shandong and also to the Kong family. The emperor was personally sacrificing Saint Confucius and sacrificing for seven days in the capital, which was very large. The emperor also wanted to go to the sacrifice himself, and this news shocked many people.

For the Kong family and for the Shandong gentry, this is good news.

Everyone lived under Confucius's sect, especially the Kong family, which was definitely a good opportunity for their reputation to rise. But another news that accompanied it was not good. Kong Shanggan was the one who presided over this sacrifice.

No one doesn’t know about the Kong family. Although the Kong family of the Southern Sect has always been unpopular and has a low sense of existence, they are well-founded and descendants of Confucius!

Kong Shanggan was carried out, which clearly shows that the emperor wanted to praise the Southern School of the Kong family. As soon as this news came out, the first person to be blinded was the Kong family. The Kong family was not the name of Confucius and the title of Yan Shenggong.

Scholars all over the world respect the Kong family, but they are not the name of the Kong family.

The Kong family’s Northern Sect is the Kong family, and the Kong family’s Southern Sect is also the Kong family. They are all descendants of Confucius. As long as the banner does not fall, no matter whether he is the Southern Sect or the Northern Sect, scholars in the world may have complaints, but they will never make a fuss about this.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yijun chose to win over the Southern School of the Kong family. In fact, he wanted to destroy the Kong family.

However, scholars all over the world are under the banner of Confucian disciples, and because of this banner, they cannot allow the court to abolish this banner. Once the Confucius family is abolished, what should we do with the rule of the monarch, minister, father, son, son, and son, and benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness?

As an emperor, Zhu Yijun also needed scholars all over the world to be loyal to themselves, and there were still many benefits of Confucianism.

Once Confucianism is abolished, there will be no thoughts unless you have new thoughts, such as abolishing Confucius in later generations and demolishing Confucius' statues, it is because we have Marxist-Leninist thoughts. Zhu Yijun does not have such thoughts now. Once it becomes big, the human heart will be broken.

Judging from the current situation, Zhu Yijun needs Confucianism to maintain his rule.

The Northern Sect of the Kong Family showed that Zhu Yijun was only targeting the Northern Sect of the Kong Family, not targeting the Confucian disciples all over the world. This size and level were not the same level. Therefore, the news came out, not only did not intensify the conflict, but instead calmed down many people.

Most of these people are gentry from Shandong. The emperor even had to start an operation of the Yansheng Gong Mansion. What are they?

Especially when Feng Kuan’s impeachment memorial was passed to Shandong, the whole Shandong was shocked. If the previous news was to scare the Kong family, then the subsequent news was completely serious. The gentry would not dare to move, and the Kong family was also scared.

Jinan Prefecture, the imperial envoy.

Wang Yongji sat on the chair and drank tea, with his expression on his face very relaxed. This was the first time he had been so relaxed since he came to Shandong. After taking a look at Xing Shangzhi and Pigan, Wang Yongji put down the tea cup in his hand.

"Have those gentry honest these days?" Wang Yongji looked at Pigan and said lightly.

"Sir, everyone is honest!" Pigan also smiled and said, "The attitude has softened a lot. Although the tax has not been paid, the tone has been relaxed. I believe that they will be more honest in a few days."

Wang Yongji let out a cold voice, and the expression on his face became serious: "Some days?"

"There is no more days!" Wang Yongji said coldly: "Let's start with Jinan Prefecture and tell the people below that I will pass on the words of this official. Starting from tomorrow, Jinan Prefecture will issue a tax silver."

"All those who resist tax payments are treated as resistant to the court."

"If you find out the hidden land, choose a few who are harming the countryside, and are rich and unkind, you will be punished directly by the official. If you cannot pay a fine within a time limit, you will be fined directly by the official and confiscated the land. If you resist, you will be arrested directly."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongji turned his head to look at Xing Shangzhi and said, "I would like to ask the Jinyiwei to cooperate!"

Xing Shangzhi touched his big bald head and sneered: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, our Jinyiwei must cooperate. I have been idle these days. Now that I have something to do, I just move my muscles and bones."

Wang Yongji nodded and smiled and said to Pi Gan: "I will pass on the order that anyone who actively confesses to hide the land will be fined 30%. Tell the people below that if you use snacks, you will never let me go."

"Don't worry, sir, I understand!" Pi Gan hurriedly bowed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the imperial envoy issued a notice and Jinan Prefecture began to collect taxes.

Dongcheng of Jinan Prefecture has always been a wealthy area, and there are a large number of gentry from Jinan Prefecture. Among them, the Chai family, who lives in Yangliu Hutong, is very famous locally. You should know that there are several Chai family now serving as officials outside.

The worst is the county magistrate, and the biggest is the governor. No one dares to provoke him on the ground in Shandong.

But that afternoon, a scene that no one expected happened. The tax service personnel from the Taxation Department and the Jinyiwei people came to the Qian family, with dozens of people. Each of them carried a knife, and some even had a strong crossbow.

For a moment, the whole Dongcheng was in chaos, and countless wealthy families rose up in fear.

The head of the Chai family is Chai Hong. It is said that the ancestors of the Chai family can be traced back to the Chai family in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the family education originated from the family. In a strict Chai family courtyard, a man was running wildly and lost a shoe without even caring.

Chai Chong looked at the butler running in, his face darkened.

As a hometown in his fifties, Chai Chong took rules very seriously. When he saw the butler running in, his slender eyes instantly narrowed his slits, and it seemed that there was only one slit left.

His lips also sank down, and his vocal cords scolded him: "What kind of decent thing is it!"

Chai Fu didn't care that the master was angry and hurriedly said, "The master has something to do. The Jinyiwei and the people from the Taxation Department surrounded our mansion!" Chai Fu swallowed, gasped heavily, and then said, "Many people came, all with knives, and some with crossbow arrows."

After hearing Chai Fu's words, Chai Chong could no longer sit still and put the rules behind him.

He suddenly stood up from the chair and said loudly: "What did you say? The Jinyiwei and the Taxation Department surrounded our family?"

Although he was frightened, Chai Bian calmed down after a little slowing down. His family was not an ordinary family, and it was not something anyone could control. His son Chai Bian is now the governor.

He glared at Chai Fu, and Chai Chong said angrily: "What a panic? Let them come in. I want to see what they want to do."

In fact, the Chai family was not in use at all, and the people from the Taxation Department and the Jinyiwei had already walked in from outside.

The leader was a big bald man, wearing a flying fish suit and without a hat. After seeing Chai Chong, he sneered and touched his big bald man, and said directly: "Are you the head of the Chai family Chai Chong?"

"It's me!" Chai Chong asked directly without even standing up, "Who are you?"

Seeing this scene, the Jinyiwei behind Xing Shangzhi stepped forward: "Our family is the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Xing, the official title of Shangxiazhi. You old man, you dare not kneel down when you see my eldest son, and you are impatient to live."

The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, when he heard this name, Chai Hui's pupils shrank.

This name is so famous in the Ming Dynasty. No one doesn’t know it. It’s almost the same as saying that it’s just that the child cries.

Although he was frightened, Chai Hui still had a stern face. However, this time he did not sit down, but stood up and bowed to Xing Shangzhi: "It turns out that it is Lord Xing. Chai Hui has met Lord Xing!"

It is impossible to kneel down. Chai Chong is also a Jinshi, so how could he kneel down to Xing Shangzhi?

Seeing that the captain behind him was still about to speak, Xing Shangzhi waved his hand and scolded, "There is no rules, there is no place for you to speak here, go back!" After saying that, he turned around and said to Chai Chong, "My subordinates don't understand the rules, so they make the Chai family laugh."

What else could Chai Chong say, and directly changed the topic: "Sir Xing, I don't know what happened to my Chai family today?"

Xing Shangzhi took a step to the side, gave up the skin behind him, and said with a smile: "I am assisting the Tax Department with the imperial edict of Your Majesty. Today, the Tax Department is looking for the Head of the Chai family. I am just taking the Jinyi Guard to protect his safety."

Chai Hui's face changed when he said this. Do you think the Chai family is? Do you have to protect the safety?

But Chai Hui could only curse in his heart and could not say it in front of Xing Shangzhi.

Pigan took a step forward and looked at Chai Chong and said, "The head of the Chai family, the Taxation Department was ordered to collect taxes. When checking the tax, it was found that your Chai family had four hidden land, including two in Xicheng, one thousand five hundred acres, one top land, one seven hundred acres, and top land."

"The two pieces of the North City, one piece of 800 acres and one piece of 400 acres, are all medium-sized fields."

"According to the provisions of the Taxation Department, a fine of half of the land price is charged. According to the land price of Jinan Prefecture, the land price of the upper-class land is 80 taels per mu, and a fine of 40 taels per mu. The total concealed land in Chaijia Xicheng is 2,300 mu, and a fine of 92,000 taels of silver is fined."

"The land of the Centre is 40 taels per mu, and the fine of 20 taels of silver per mu. The two pieces of land hidden in the North City of Chai Family have a total of 1,200 mu, and the fine of 24,000 taels of silver. This time the Chai Family needs to pay a fine of 1,16,000 taels of silver."

After saying this, Pigan reached out to close the booklet, smiled and took out a piece of paper and said to Chai Chong: "This is a fine notice. Please sign and seal it on it."

After hearing what the words were said, Chai Chong shook, his body was pale, and his whole body trembled. He fined 116,000 taels of silver. Thinking of this number, Chai Chong's skin thrust in waves.
