Chapter 134 What is Ye Chen planning?
Guo Jia and Cheng Yu walked side by Yu suddenly asked Guo Jia a question.
"Fengxiao, do you think the Lord is a kind person?"
He has now become the deputy governor of Xuzhou, handling many government affairs, and secretly has a deeper understanding of Ye Chen.
Hearing Cheng Yu's question, Guo Jia chuckled.
Is Ye Chen a kind person? Is there any need to say?
Judging from his style of doing things, he is friendly to the people!
But when it comes to killing, there will never be mercy.
He is definitely a hero in the world.
"In my opinion, within half a month, this Xuzhou family will cry!"
After taking a look at the sky outside, Cheng Yu spoke coldly.
Although this financial matter was not under his and Guo Jia's jurisdiction, Ye Chen did not tell him about it.
However, as the person who has followed Ye Chen for the longest time, Cheng Yu has already guessed Ye Chen's true purpose.
"Oh? Then I'll wait and see!"
When Guo Jia saw the confident smile on Cheng Yu's face, he became more and more curious about how the matter would develop.
What else is Ye Chen hiding?
Guo Jia murmured to himself.
"My lord, this is the number of acres of farmland counted from each county during this period!" Gu Yong was in front of Ye Chen at this moment, reporting the number of acres of farmland in each county.
Because of Ye Chen’s previous order, the officials of the major families were very active in reporting the number of acres of land in various places.
Anyway, Ye Chen has already given the order that the private land owned by their family will not be included.
Naturally, they reported all the remaining fields.
"There are many good farmlands in the counties of Xuzhou, and most of them are occupied by Xuzhou's aristocratic families!"
Gu Yong was reporting truthfully at this moment, while also silently looking at Ye Chen.
Others may not know Ye Chen’s plan, but he knows it very clearly.
"Well, it's generally OK. By the way, have the people from the major families reported part of their own land?"
Although Ye Chen said that the land of the wealthy families could all be turned into their private property.
However, Ye Chen did not prohibit the wealthy businessmen from reporting their own land.
"My lord, the Mi family reported 20,000 acres of good farmland, the Chen family reported 10,000 acres of good farmland, and the other Xuzhou city families all reported certain amounts!"
Gu Yong spoke out, picking out these local families in Xuzhou City and handing them to Ye Chen in front of him.
"Haha, these people are really smart!"
After a quick look, I saw Mi Zhu, Chen Gui and others on it.
Basically, 60% of the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou City chose to report part of their land.
This approach made Ye Chen very satisfied.
Ye Chen didn't care about these lands.
What he cared about was the goodwill shown by these noble families.
Listening to Ye Chen's words, Gu Yong glanced at the list on the bamboo slips and felt a little relieved for this group of people.
However, he immediately thought of his Gu family.
"Don't worry, the Gu family will definitely have a place in Jiangdong in the future!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Hearing Ye Chen say this, Gu Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"Calculating the time, it should be soon, right?"
Looking at Gu Yong in front of him, Ye Chen asked his own question!
"My Lord, it should be ready in five days at the earliest!"
Five days, Ye Chen nodded, and then gave instructions to take care of Gu Yong.
"Five days later, have the noble families on this list send representatives to the governor's mansion."
Throwing the bamboo slips in his hand to Gu Yong, Ye Chen slowly stood up and went outside.
Holding the bamboo slips in his hand, Gu Yong knew that the aristocratic families in Xuzhou City were probably going to be reshuffled.
The person in this bamboo slip is the one who survived.
At the same time, Mi family, Mi Mansion.
"Brother, didn't the Lord say that we would be exempted from taxes? Why did you take the initiative to report the land?"
Mi Fang found Mi Zhu and asked him about his doubts.
Ye Chen had clearly issued an order that all private lands of the major aristocratic families would become their private property and they would not have to pay taxes.
Mi Zhu was still stupid enough to hand over 20,000 mu of good farmland.
This registered automatically.
This means that their 20,000 acres of fertile land are registered.
It will be impossible to evade taxes in the future.
"Brother, it's just 20,000 acres of good farmland. Compared with the trust of the lord, it's not worth mentioning at all!"
Before Mi Zhu could speak, the younger sister of the Mi family chuckled and said.
"Haha, what my little sister said is right!"
Mi Zhu nodded, very satisfied with his little sister's intelligence.
Ye Chen deliberately asked him to stay.
Then he asked about the yield per mu of good farmland for a long time.
Although Mi Zhu didn't understand Ye Chen's purpose.
But no matter what Mi Zhu says, he must hold on to Ye Chen's trust.
He was the one who took the lead in delivering orders to the major families.
Then Mi Zhu must take the lead in registering the land.
Just 20,000 acres of fertile farmland.
It’s not like the Mi family can’t afford it.
and.
The lord privatized the private land of the Mi family, so the Mi family no longer had to hide their whereabouts.
His lord bestowed a gift on him, and he repaid him with peaches and plums.
At the same time, on the other side, in the Chen family.
"Father, my Chen family has donated 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there will definitely be some return!"
Chen Deng looked at the father in front of him and spoke firmly and confidently.
Faced with his son's behavior, Chen Gui didn't understand, but he chose to trust him.
"If your speculation is correct, then the lord is going to take action against the aristocratic families this time!"
Chen Gui was not clear about the purpose of offering fertile land.
But if Ye Chen is sure about the land, then those others who have not donated their land will probably be in trouble.
"Father, what do you mean?"
Chen Deng reacted, his eyes gleaming.
"Haha, aristocratic families will eventually decline. Some aristocratic families in Xuzhou City may be in decline!"
If donating land has benefits, then it must be a disadvantage for other families.
Plus he offended Ye Chen.
There is probably no need to think too much about the outcome.
"Yuanlong, the future of the Chen family is in your hands."
Looking at Chen Deng who had already understood, Chen Gui nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that letting Chen Deng go to Guangling County as soon as possible will have some effect.
He felt relieved to have the Chen family handed over to his son.
In the second year of Chuping, mid-July, Xuzhou.
"My Lord, why did you ask us to come here?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's about the land?"
"No way, hasn't the matter of the land been settled?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, the lord and the others are inside!"
At this moment, in the side hall of the governor's mansion, representatives of all major families arrived as promised.
All the people from the aristocratic families were confused when Ye Chen invited them over.
They are all noble families who donated part of their land.
Ye Chen asked them to come over, but did not allow those families who did not offer land to come over.
This made them a little confused.
If we want to have a talk, shouldn't we go to the noble families that didn't donate their land?
