Mao Qiling said: "Tenants, house slaves, just grab and bite randomly."

"How do you know it's just random grabbing and biting?" Li Yu asked.

"Tenants and house slaves can share the land, but they are afraid that the landlord will make trouble and retaliate, so they will naturally put the landlord to death!" Mao Qiling said.

Li Yu was speechless for a moment, turned around and said to Zhao Han: "Zongzhen, I can't explain clearly to this person, no matter what he says, he won't believe it."

Zhao Han recruited two personal guards and ordered: "You take this person with you, wherever there is a public trial meeting, where there is a complaint meeting, let him watch the whole process, and you are not allowed to miss a single one!"

Mao Qiling wanted to continue to argue, but was dragged away by the guards.

After a few public trials and complaints, the passionate scene may scare the shit out of this guy.

"Total town!"

Another personal guard sent a message: "Slaves and scholars have reported that the Shen family in Pinghu is plotting to cause chaos!"

Zhao Han took the letter and looked at it, and was immediately amused.

However, Zhao Han ransacked the house too fiercely, and the Pinghu Shen family felt that they had done a lot of evil, so they gathered their clansmen, slaves and tenants, and planned to raise troops to kill the officials sent by Zhao Han, and then the whole family fled to Nanjing to avoid disaster.

In the morning, they scattered money and recruited soldiers, and in the afternoon they were reported, and there were as many as dozens of informants.

There were even some relatives of the Shen clan among the whistleblowers.

Even if Zhao Han ransacked the house everywhere, it didn't mean that the whole clan did it together. That would really implicate too much.Either limited to raiding the main sect, or raiding notorious branches, as long as the knife is in hand, it is impossible for the various branches of the big family to be united.

Moreover, when the big family recruited troops to resist, they could only call up slaves, clansmen and tenants.

The house slaves and tenants are all waiting to share the land, and the clansmen of other clans are also waiting to share the property. Who the hell wants to die with you?

Throughout the process of dividing the fields, there was no fierce resistance.

Even if these big families want to resist, they can't recruit people when they recruit soldiers!

Homecoming?

If the regime in charge of subdividing the land does not fall, which Home Returning Mission would dare to come back?Believe it or not, he was directly beaten to death by the peasants!

Those majestic big families finally realized the horror of releasing slaves and dividing land.After the release of slaves and the division of land, the domestic slaves and tenants were all on the opposite side, and all the gentry and wealthy families were isolated.

Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, lives in Suzhou at the moment.

He could hear the wind and various news every day.

Qian Qianyi planned to wait in Suzhou. He had already figured out that the young friend Fei Yinghuan he had befriended back then was the father-in-law of Zhao Zongzhen in Jiangxi Province.

With this relationship, he is the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, afraid that he will not be reused?

Therefore, Qian Qianyi must be reserved, waiting for Zhao Han to send someone to recruit, and finally there will be a good show of Crouching Dragon coming out of the mountain.

Waiting left and right, Zhao Han took Jiaxing and Huzhou, and suddenly stood still!

Zhao Han couldn't move, the troops were too scattered, he had to wait for the officials to consolidate the territory, and then take back the scattered troops.

Immediately afterwards, news came that many rich families had their homes ransacked, Qian Qianyi finally couldn't sit still.

Famous families have their homes ransacked, so who are the leaders of Jiangnan Shilin?

Qian Qianyi immediately set off with his entourage, took a boat from Suzhou to Jiaxing, and then he saw a horror movie.

More than 40 members of the Shen clan were tied into a string with ropes. They plotted to destroy the subfields, and all of them were arrested and taken to the mountains to mine and transform.

"Killing a gentleman is like killing a chicken?" Qian Qianyi said to himself.

His whole body was cold and his forehead was sweating.

Qian Qianyi hurried to Hangzhou by boat, where more homes were ransacked.He completely lost his arrogance and restraint, and when he saw Zhao Han, he knelt down and shouted, "Changshu Qian Qianyi, welcome to Zongzhen Zhao, and congratulate Zongzhen on pacifying Jiangnan!"

"It's not over yet, Zhejiang hasn't even been occupied yet." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Qian Qianyi said: "The army in the general town is strong, and Tian Zheng has won the hearts of the people. It is what the people want to win Jiangnan."

Zhao Han smiled and said nothing, and did not ask Qian Qianyi to stand up.

Qian Qianyi could only continue to kneel, and said: "All the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, the old man still has a bit of a bad name, please follow the army to persuade the officials from all over the place to surrender."

"Okay, you come to persuade them to surrender." Zhao Han didn't want to fight anymore, as the resistance level of Jiangnan officers and soldiers was not effective in training troops, and attacking the city was just a waste of time.

As for Qian Qianyi, after Jiangnan was captured, he would be given a leisurely job as a civilian. Anyway, he would not be allowed to take power.

Chapter 307 [Gu Yanwu]

"Kill his whole family, blood debt!"

"Seize the house, copy the house!"

In the middle of the night, Mao Qiling sat up abruptly, breaking out in a cold sweat all over his body.

In three days, he watched two public trial meetings and three complaint meetings.

There was a public trial, angry house slaves rushed onto the stage, and countless tenants responded.Due to the insufficient number of Datong soldiers, using a group of civilians to maintain order could not stop the angry people at all. Seven were killed on the spot, twelve were injured, and one gentry was even devoured.

Mao Qiling had never seen such a scene, and had nightmares for several nights in a row, always feeling that his family was also being tried in public.

If he hadn't led the people to dedicate themselves to the city, the Mao family would have been put on trial.Honorable!

early morning.

Mao Qiling went out with dark circles under his eyes, only to see two personal guards guarding the door.

"Mao Xianggong, hurry up and eat, there is another one today." A personal guard said.

Another one?

Mao Qiling's legs were weak, and he begged: "Brother, can you report to the town and say that I have accepted it and am willing to be an official to help divide the land."

"Okay." The guard smiled.

Those who take the initiative to serve or rebel, as long as they can read and write, can directly serve as officials, but they cannot work in the county.Illiterate people can go to the county to work as soap officials to restore order in the county as soon as possible.

If the local people are not used, how can the officials brought by Zhao Han be enough?

A few days later, Mao Qiling was thrown to Lin'an County as an official.This bully's mouth has temporarily become much more well-behaved, and it is estimated that he will not dare to speak nonsense after half a year.

You can't change it, and one day it will definitely relapse.

As for Qian Qianyi.

"My lord, there is a scholar handing over the greeting card." The house slave came in to report.

"No see!" Qian Qianyi said.

This guy is very good at making money, and he doesn't easily offend people.During the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Ruan Dacheng co-operated with Fushe, and he could not offend anyone, and went to bribe villains to seek high positions.

After observing the situation, Qian Qianyi has figured out Zhao Han's way.

He, Qian Muzhai, will be a stern and selfless minister in the future!

Qian Qianyi's body is very soft and can be completely transformed into another shape according to the needs of those in power.

Qian Qianyi took out an employment contract, called the two domestic slaves, and bowed his hands to the west, "Theory of Gewei" in the general town is the most reasonable in the world. In terms of personality, everyone lives And equality, there is no distinction between good and bad. You two have been with me for many years, and now you are free. This is a three-year employment contract, if you want, you can sign it."

"Don't dare, you are born as the master's man, and you will die as the master's ghost." The two house slaves immediately knelt down.

Qian Qianyi made a sullen look: "Get up quickly, kneel down at every turn, what's the proper way? The new dynasty should have the appearance of the new dynasty, and no kneeling is allowed in the future!"

"Yes."

The two house slaves stood up and signed the employment contract, both of them were very happy in their hearts.

"Go." Qian Qianyi waved his hand.

Waiting for the two house slaves...the servants to leave, Qian Qianyi picked up a brush and began to write articles praising the distribution of land and the release of slaves.

This guy is indeed knowledgeable, with various quotations from scriptures, not only explaining the rationality of dividing land and releasing slaves, but also praising Zhao Han as the eternal sage.

After finishing writing the article and polishing it again, Qian Qianyi immediately begged to see Zhao Han.

When he saw Zhao Han, Qian Qianyi no longer seemed to be following others.He strode forward gracefully with his head held high and his chest held high, and he bowed his hands in a very chic way: "The general manager has a great appearance, and this old man has recently expressed his feelings, so he wrote an essay overnight. Dividing the land and releasing the slaves is indeed a benevolent government that has never been seen in ancient times. This policy must be implemented in the world as soon as possible, so that hundreds of millions of people can be relieved from the sea of ​​suffering, and from now on, the world will be unified and peace will be established forever."

Zhao Han took the article and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "The literary talent is brilliant, it is really a good article." He recruited the secretary and ordered, "This is such a magnificent article, copy it a lot, and post a copy at the gate of every county school."

Qian Qianyi, a famous Confucian, has automatically changed into the shape of Zhao Han.

Except for Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu's side divisions, the rest of the dispersed troops have come back to assemble one after another.

Zhao Han personally led 2500 regular soldiers, 1000 peasant soldiers, and 3000 civilian husbands, and formally entered the southern Zhili territory.

Songjiang, Shanghai, Jiading, Kunshan, Wujiang, Suzhou, Yixing...all look forward to returning, because these prefectures and counties have no soldiers, and the officers and soldiers from various places in Nanzhili have long been dispatched to defend Wuhu, Dangtu and Nanjing.

"General Town, this is the list of celebrities in Songjiang and Suzhou." Qian Qianyi was conscientious and rushed to do everything.

Zhao Han browsed the list carefully, and suddenly said, "Bring Gu Ningren (Gu Yanwu) here to meet you."

Qian Qianyi was a little surprised that Zhao Han only summoned the "weird man" Gu Yanwu by name with so many famous people in Su Song's second residence.

Gu Yanwu is 27 this year, his family is in the middle of nowhere, and he can't make ends meet. He has sold 800 mu of land over the years.

There are thousands of acres of land left in his family, but he really has no money.Once the land is divided, the days to come will be even more difficult, and they will definitely not be able to raise a large number of domestic slaves.

After being summoned by Zhao Han, Gu Yanwu was very puzzled, he is a well-known eccentric in Suzhou, how could he be favored so much?

His mother, Wang, is only in her 30s and has a dignified appearance. She warned her son, "I have also read "The Collection of Great Harmony", and it is also a book about economics and economics. I knew that Zhao Zongzhen would send troops, and I sold another 3000 mu of land last year. , The money in the family is enough to support the expenses. The rest of the land, let's divide it up. Zhao Zongzhen is a British lord, you should be a good assistant. Loyal to the king or loyal to the world, such a simple truth, I don't need to repeat it. If you don’t understand, all these years of studying will be in vain.”

"My child, remember mother's teaching!" Gu Yanwu hastily bowed.

Wang said: "Go, don't miss home."

Gu Yanwu hesitantly said: "Mother...Youth is not gone yet, Mr. Zhao encourages women to remarry, mother why not find another good man to marry."

Wang's face turned red, and she spat: "There is no need to mention this matter again."

The age difference between mother and son is less than ten years, so of course they cannot be biological.

The Wang family is still a virgin, and her husband died before paying homage to him. Gu Yanwu is the adoptive son of the family.

Wang is a talented woman, unmarried and chaste, raising an heir.She weaves during the day and insists on reading at night. She is proficient in all classics and history collections, and Gu Yanwu is also taught by her.

Gu Yanwu bent down and bowed: "Mother, please consider remarrying. Even if you remarry, the child will respect and respect you. Resign!"

When the son left, Wang sighed.

Why doesn't she want to remarry and enjoy the happiness of husband and wife harmony, but it's a pity that she has been bound by ethics.Now, it can indeed be considered. The mother who can teach the "weird" Gu Yanwu is not a pedantic woman.

Historically, the Wang family died of a hunger strike, and his last words were very simple: Gu Yanwu is not allowed to serve as an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Gu Yanwu's two younger brothers also died fighting against the Qing Dynasty.The birth mother's right arm was cut off by the Qing army, and several good friends either died or went to the mountains to become monks.

Gu Yanwu came to Suzhou by boat, and after reporting, he was immediately summoned.

"Meet Mr. Zhao!"

"sit down."

Zhao Han looked at the gentleman with a smile and asked, "What have you been doing recently?"

Gu Yanwu replied: "Collecting documents and historical materials, I am preparing to write a book."

"What book did you write?" Zhao Han asked.

Gu Yanwu replied: "The "Book of the World's Commanderies, National Benefits and Diseases" generally discusses the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces, recording and commenting on the mountains, rivers and lands of each province, as well as tax and service, reclamation, horse administration, military affairs, water conservancy, and water transportation."

It is the political geography of Ming Dynasty.

"This is a good thing," Zhao Han praised, "You don't have to write for Daming, and you are specially appointed as the secretary of Jiangxi General Military Mansion. Go to Jiangxi immediately, and write all Jiangxi's mountains and rivers, geography, taxation, water conservancy, and industry and commerce into "Tianxia County" National Benefits and Diseases Book. Combining the administration of Ming Dynasty and the administration of Datong, comment on the pros and cons. After Jiangxi is finished, Guangdong and Hunan will be written. I will give you a sign, and the governments of various places must cooperate. You can consult official documents at will, and even consult Official documents from various local governments. Don’t flatter me, if you find that my policy is wrong, you can write it out as it is.”

"Definitely not humiliated!"

Gu Yanwu is very happy. With official support, the speed of writing books can be increased several times.

At the same time, Gu Yanwu couldn't help feeling that this General Zhao really had a heart, and asked him to point out Jiangxi's mistakes in governance.

Gu Yanwu suddenly said: "Please issue an order from the chief town, so that widows in the south of the Yangtze River who have no children must choose a good man and remarry within half a year."

"Oh, why is that so?" Zhao Han laughed.

Gu Yanwu explained: "My step-mother has been single and widowed since she was 16 years old. It has been a lot of hardships for more than ten years. From my point of view, if there are children under her knees, it is indeed inconvenient for widows to remarry. But if there are no children, or even unmarried, why not?" What about remarriage? The marriage of a man and a woman is the law of heaven; the widow observes the chastity, it is the human relationship. If the human relationship deviates from the law of heaven, you should act according to the law of heaven."

Zhao Han nodded approvingly: "That's a very good statement. Once the land is divided and the slaves are released, the 'widow's remarriage order' will be issued. Widows without children must remarry; widows with children can make their own decisions, and no one else can interfere."

"The chief town is wise!"

Gu Yanwu felt that this was a wise man, and he could actually nod his head in agreement with such an outrageous suggestion.

Gu Yanwu said: "General Town, I have a good friend who is knowledgeable and virtuous. Please recruit him."
