The Reborn Wife is Farming

Cui Zhong is a side branch of the Cui family. He is the magistrate of the county government office. Half of the Cui family's acceptance of hermits has been handled by him. From what I said before, it can be judged that they are going to rebel.

When Cui Zhi saw him, he began to suspect that someone had bribed the clansman to frame the Cui family, so he turned his head decisively to Qi Haoran and said, "General Qi, can you take a step to speak?"

Qi Haoran asked curiously: "Aren't you confronting each other?"

"I think General Qi has misunderstood us. Cui wants to clarify one thing or two before doing this."

Qi Haoran curled his lips, and waved his hands casually, asking people to clear away the people nearby, and the three people were naturally taken away, and when they were all empty, Qi Haoran said: "Just say anything, don't worry about it." Take a step."

Cui Zhi took a deep breath and knelt down to apologize.

Compared with the rebellion, he is more willing to admit to taking in hermits. Anyway, everyone has done such a thing. Although the power of the Cui family is not as good as before, Qi Haoran didn't kill them at will.

Qi Haoran snorted coldly after hearing him finish his charges, pointed to the closed gate of the manor and said, "How do you convince me that you are just taking in hermits and not rebelling?"

Cui Zhili immediately went forward and asked someone to open the gate.

The gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered, allowing Qi Haoran's army to enter.

Qi Haoran went in and took a look at the facilities inside, but there was no expression on his face.

Cui Zhi quickly handed in the roster of hidden households, which were only collected in the past two years, and he did not bring out the previous ones.

Qi Haoran just flipped through it and threw it aside. He called everyone in the manor, and asked Jin Xin to read Qi Xiuyuan's will in public. There will be no punishment for the hermits who voluntarily stand up, and after being recorded in the roster, the due Yongye land will not be reduced. From next year, there will be no tax payment for three years. As far as I know, if you stay here, the ground rent will not be reduced. Not a lot, right?"

There was a commotion underneath, and then quickly quieted down again.

Qi Haoran took a booklet and tapped his palms, and continued: "Because of the war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a lot of miscellaneous taxes were levied in the past few years, which caused the people to live in poverty. Dare to promise, I dare to guarantee that the tax will not exceed half of last year's tax after three years."

There was commotion again underneath, and it lasted for a long time, Qi Haoran raised his lips slightly, but did not stop him.

The family will not protect those hermits in vain. Those hermits need to put the land under the name of the family and act as the servants of the family. They also need to hand over part of the profit from the land to the family, commonly known as land rent.

Land rent also increases with the increase of state taxation.

The hermits who were entrusted to the Cui family also knew that the Cui family was not a good family, but in order to avoid heavier taxes, they could only do this. Now that they have better conditions, if they can be good citizens in an open and honest manner, of course they will not Willing to be a slave.

Seeing that the commotion below was getting bigger and bigger, Qi Haoran waved his hand to silence the discussion below, and handed the brochure in his hand to Fei Bai, who was holding several copies, and said inadvertently: "These brochures were handed over by Patriarch Cui. Mine, there is a roster on it, but the hermits who take the initiative to stand up are not treated the same as the hermits who are passively handed over. I am willing to give you a chance, and it depends on whether you can grasp it. I will stay here for three days, three days Afterwards, the hermits who have not come forward should be dealt with as fugitives."

Qi Haoran turned his head and glanced at Cui Zhi and Jin Xin, and said: "You don't have to worry about the Cui family's retaliation, let's not say that the Cui family's conscience is not bad, as long as you are found by the master, the master will not leave you behind." You don't care."

Cui Zhi's eyes were full of evil, he handed over to Qi Haoran only two books of hidden households, but Fei Bai took six books in his hand, and the rest was obviously filled with books he randomly found, in order to let the people below People are confused, and then take the initiative to stand up.

Cui Zhi's face was ugly, but he was wrong before, and now everything is wrong.

Jin Xin even shrunk his neck and stood aside, hoping that Qi Haoran would forget about him.

Qi Haoran didn't give Cui Zhi a chance to get in touch with the people under him, and directly locked him in the manor, and the people directly related to Cui Zhi were also locked up. The reason was that before the truth came out, it was better for everyone to avoid suspicion.

On the other hand, he let his subordinates quietly confuse the people in the manor with strong mouths, making them all report that they are hermits and report all the fields they brought before.

This made many slaves who yearned for freedom eager to move, and wanted to pretend to be hermits and sign up.

Fei Bai and the school officers looked at each other and smiled, then whispered bewitchingly, "There's nothing wrong with it, anyway, the manor can't produce any definite evidence."

"Here, all hermits have a contract with the steward..."

To be a hermit, you have to sign a contract of sale to be a slave, and in order to reassure the hermit, the manor usually asks the steward in the manor to sign another contract with the other party, which states that they came to the manor and how many fields they brought. Although it is obscure, it is actually their proof as a hermit.

Real slaves don't have that.

But Fei Bai said: "Things are best forged, but this kind of document is easier. If you want it, I can get it, but this..." Fei Bai rubbed his fingers, and hurriedly said: "I don't want too many, just brothers We have been fighting in the South and North for the past few years, and we haven't even had a hot meal..."

So a family of servants exchanged a good meal of wine and meat for a forged contract.

The servants also had information channels for the servants. Although there were soldiers patrolling the manor, the news spread among the servants who wanted to leave, and many of them secretly obtained forged documents.

Even if the servants are like this, those hidden households are even more distracted, and Qi Haoran still has the register in his hand, because they don't know if their names are on it, they have all made up their minds to surrender.

So, within three days, someone quietly found Jin Xin and other county magistrates who were not imprisoned that night and surrendered themselves.

Qi Haoran's adjutant was right next to Jin Xin. Even if Jin Xin got the forged document, he didn't dare to expose it, so he just filled in his name.

Now he only hopes that his family will not be harmed, so he is very obedient.

Qi Haoran was a little stunned when he saw that things were going so smoothly, and an older general persuaded him: "The general should restrain himself, we are just catching up with a good time, if it is a peaceful time..." He shook his head, in his opinion Well, Qi Haoran's ability to go so smoothly is entirely due to coincidence at the right time, place and people.

It is a troubled time now, Qi Haoran just needs to say that the Cui family rebelled, and directly wipe out the Cui family, and the Cui family can indeed find physical evidence here, even if there are people who question it, there will be no big trouble. Rebellion, just relying on this weapon and having private soldiers is far from enough.

So he hoped that Qi Haoran could restrain himself a bit, and not make the scene too loud, and finally he couldn't stop it. Qi Haoran did listen to it, and told Fei Bai and the others not to go too far.

It can hurt the Cui family, but don't force them to death.
