Chapter 340 Yu Dafang's Shock
These are said to be salt merchants, but in fact they are from the King of Jin. So much money is equivalent to the taxes for the 5th year of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the Ming Dynasty has been tax-free for five years. If the Ming Dynasty can cultivate for five years, can the people of the Ming Dynasty rebel? However, if they are not dealt with ruthlessly, they will definitely retaliate against Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao will not be able to stop them at that time!" Lu Fang stood there and bowed to Jiajing and said.
"Ha, I understand, you can go ahead and get busy!" Jiajing laughed and waved his hand and said,
He was not worried about what Lu Fang was worried about. He had already had a punishment plan for those vassal kings. Now it depends on whether Zhang Hao found out the evidence and whether he could meet his own expectations. If he could meet his expectations, he would do it himself.
However, I have to wait for Zhang Hao to come back. I have to discuss with Zhang Hao and also discuss with Zhang Rong. Once I do it, Jiajing will be worried that the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos and he needs the support of Zhang Rong's military generals and dukes. After all, they have controlled millions of troops and are well-trained.
"Yes, the emperor!" When Lu Fang heard Jiajing say this, he knew that Jiajing had already made a decision in his mind and didn't need to say more.
And on Zhang Hao's side, Yu Dafang also arrived at the place where Zhang Hao lived, and Zhang Hao had just returned from the prison cell.
"Mr. Lu An, look, this memorial I wrote is presented directly to the emperor. We local governors have the right to report secretly. Look, how can I write this way?" Yu Dafang took his memorial and handed it to Zhang Hao to watch.
"You secretly report to the emperor, why are you showing me?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang without understanding.
"Sir, that's right, but I want to help you. These vassal kings are too much. It's been almost a year since I came here to serve. I'm ashamed of the people and I have no choice. Those vassal kings have had too much influence on the local area. The people are too miserable.
I hope to be thorough when you attack those royal families this time, but I know that such a thing is a whole body, so I don’t know if the emperor will follow my advice. However, I must explain the impact of the royal family on the local area so that the emperor can judge how to govern the royal family in the future!” Yu Dafang bowed to Zhang Hao and said,
When Zhang Hao heard this, he was surprised. He did not expect that Yu Dafang had the courage to start a secret war with the people of the King of Jin.
So he took the memorial and looked carefully and found that Yu Dafang had made a detailed report on what the people of the King of Jin were doing in Shanxi, including controlling the resources in Shanxi, how poor the government in Shanxi was, how poor the people were, but how rich the people of the King of Jin were.
"Okay, you send it to me, the emperor will consider it!" Zhang Hao closed the memorial and said to Yu Dafang.
"Hey, I also know that if I write these things, if I am seen by the people of the King of Jin, I will be in trouble. But I am fifty-three years old and have been an official for half my life. I have been a county magistrate to now have a rank of officials and scholars. I am a serious Jinshi, so I can't let them do this. I have no children and my daughter is married. So, let me say it, no one dares to say it if I don't say it!" Yu Dafang said to Zhang Hao with a wry smile.
"No son? Can't you take a few concubines?" Zhang Hao heard this and looked at Yu Dafang in surprise. A chief official in the border area had no son. Zhang Hao couldn't believe it.
"Hey, my wife and I are very loving. When I was studying, my wife was washing clothes for others at home and embroidery to make money to support me. That year, I came to Beijing for scientific examinations.
Unexpectedly, after returning, the lady was seriously ill and left. She was stupid and couldn't bear to take medicine. That's it, hey, I'm sorry for her!" Yu Dafang sat there, touching his eyes with his hands,
When Zhang Hao heard this, he was shocked and admired Yu Dafang even more. He immediately patted Yu Dafang on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Many people advised me to re-stand. I looked at the three young daughters and thought about it and let it go. I just raised my three daughters. I don't care anymore.
However, after I learned about the things you did in the capital, I admired them very much. I knew that you must be a good official. Although you are not big, what you did is for the people. This time you came to Shanxi, I am actually looking forward to you, looking forward to the ghosts and monsters in Shanxi. However, now I have seen a little dawn!" Yu Dafang said and looked at Zhang Hao with a smile.
"What did you see?" Zhang Hao said to Yu Dafang with a smile.
"No matter what this time, the King of Jin did not want to control salt. I guess the emperor would warn them. In addition, I checked the files of those land controlled by salt merchants. There were 500,000 acres. If these lands were sold, they could also give to the people, so that the people could own the land! The people would have more hope!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile.
"Who told you that you can sell it?" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Yu Dafang.
"Not selling? This? Do you want to return it to them?" Yu Dafang didn't even hold his smile at this moment, and his eyes were very shocked.
"Is it possible?" Zhang Hao still looked at Yu Dafang with a smile and asked.
"Then, what do you mean? Give it to someone from the King of Jin?" Yu Dafang really didn't understand what Zhang Hao was going to do?
"Why? I gave it to them? I gave it to them, and the people won't scold me to death? They still lack this little land? Besides, you are the governor of Shanxi, and you don't know who controls the land in Shanxi?" Zhang Hao asked Yu Dafang.
"This, I'm confused when you say that!" Yu Dafang really didn't know how Zhang Hao would deal with the land.
"Tell me, how much land has the people of the King of Jin controlled?" Zhang Hao asked Yu Dafang.
Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao suspiciously. Zhang Hao asked why this? But he still replied to Zhang Hao: "About 8 million acres, some royal family members also have marriages with ordinary landlords. Not to mention those, they are almost so many!"
"8 million acres, how many people are there in Shanxi? Do you know?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang and continued to ask.
