After knowing that his biggest reliance no longer existed, Kong Yinzhi immediately became extremely obedient.
As long as the emperor did not remove himself from his position as the head of the Kong family, there would be no problem in selling all the fields to the court.
Yang Lian said: "These two thousand hectares were used by Taizu to worship the Master.
Lian did not dare to deprive him of the necessary sacrifices.
But the court took back all the other fields.
But the proceeds from the sale of the fields need to be divided into several years to give to the Confucius Mansion.
But interest will be given.
There shouldn’t be any problem with that.”
Kong Yinzhi smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem with this.
As for the interest and so on, there is no need to pay it.
It is my Kong family's filial piety to the emperor."
Yang Lian smiled and said: "The money must be given to you, and the interest must be given to you, you can rest assured.
As for your filial piety to the emperor, that is your business.
The Ministry of Agriculture does not care about this kind of thing, we only care about the fields and water conservancy." " After Yang Lian said goodbye, he came to Qufu County Government Office.
The county magistrate greeted him at the door, and Yang Lian entered the yamen.
After everyone sat down, he said: "Please magistrate, please summon all the county officials and yamen servants.
I want to requisition them."
After everyone was summoned, Yang Lian said: "This is the first time that the Ministry of Agriculture has requisitioned non-Agriculture personnel.
Let's talk about the ugly things first.
If anyone wants to do something treacherous or against the Ministry of Agriculture, it's best to do it first.
Check if your neck is being slashed with a knife.
I asked Commander Wu to borrow twenty Jinyi guards specifically to deal with this kind of people."
Everyone was horrified and said: "But it depends on the orders of Lord Shangshu."
This is the most field redistribution that Yang Lian has ever encountered.
The matter is very complicated.
First, farmers must be divided into two categories: those who have land and those who do not have land.
Then the fields must be graded according to the degree of fertility, and then the price and loan duration are determined based on the grade of the land.
Zhu Youxiao requested that all the fields be leveled again, leaving sufficiently wide roads between the fields.
Although Yang Lian didn't understand why he did this, at least such fields looked comfortable because they were neat, and the actual loss of field area was not very large.
Because it was slack time for farming, a large number of local farmers were organized and began to level the fields ceded by the Confucius Mansion.
Yang Lian also recruited a large number of migrant workers from nearby states and counties to organize the fields in Qufu in an orderly manner.
Because the Kong family does not need to pay for the land sale now, Yang Lian easily signed a land sale agreement with the farmers.
The land sold during the Land to the Tiller movement had a very long sales ban, and the court had priority to acquire it under the same conditions, which to a large extent prevented the land from being concentrated in the hands of a few people.
The agricultural cooperative opened four branches in Qufu at once, and a large number of cattle were sent from Sun Chengzong in Xuanfu Town.
Of course, they were not used to kill cattle for meat, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of using cattle for farming.
In November, the imperial edict finally came down.
Kong Yinzhi was named the enshrinement officer of the Most Holy and First Master of Dacheng.
The imperial edict explained the selection method of the enshrinement officer of the Most Holy and First Master of Dacheng in the future.
Of course, this was after Kong Yinzhi could not serve as the engraver of the Most Holy and First Master of Dacheng.
Something happened.
Although Kong Yinzhi was deprived of Yanshenggong by Xiang, he was already very satisfied.
His first priority now was to take good care of his body.
If one day his health failed, even the enshrining officer of the most holy ancestor of Dacheng would be If it fails, then there is no need for the emperor to take action.
Naturally, enemies from the past will come to trouble him.
Regarding this matter, the weekly newspaper only published the method for selecting the priests of the Supreme Saint of Dacheng.

In letters from readers, many people opposed this and believed that this position should be inherited by the eldest son of the Confucius family.
Of course, there were also some who supported it. , believed that the position of sacrificial officer for the most holy master of Dacheng should be chosen by the wise.
If it is only appointed according to the eldest son inheritance system, the significance of sacrificial ritual will be lost.
Of course, the controversy caused by this matter is not very noticeable, because the South China Sea Economic Strategy has already started to cause trouble.
After Huang Kezuan received the contact information of the two Portuguese people from Sun Chengzong, he immediately sent someone to contact them.
After some conversation, Huang Kezuan decided to contact the Portuguese to attack the Spanish.
In 1580, the Portuguese Aves family was exterminated and Philip II of Portugal was established.
When the Iberian League was established, Philip I of Portugal promised to give preferential treatment to the Portuguese nobles in the Spanish court and maintain Portugal's unique laws, currency, and government.
Lisbon continued to be the capital of the kingdom.
However, during the Philip II era of Philip III of Portugal, the autonomy of Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, and Portugal that constituted the Spanish Empire was reduced, and centralization was strengthened.
The Spanish increased taxes on Portuguese merchants, and a large number of powerful positions were occupied by nobles from Spain.
This caused dissatisfaction among a large number of Portuguese people.
They placed their hopes on Sebastian's legal heir, the Duke of Braganza.
These two people were the cronies of the Duke of Braganza.
They searched for Portuguese people all over the world. supporters, preparing to launch a war to expel the Spanish.
Faced with this situation, Huang Kezuan was of course very happy.
The Portuguese currently have only one colony in Southeast Asia, which is East Timor, an island in the Malay Archipelago.
Other places such as Malacca and Indonesia are occupied by the Spanish and the Dutch.
The two sides agreed to attack Spanish-occupied Luzon first, with the specific target being Manila.
The Portuguese dispatched twenty ships from Macau and arrived first to join the Ming army in Dajuan.
The Ming army dispatched a total of 180 ships, including ten Fu ships.
They set out from Daguang on November 12 and sent troops to Manila.
The soldiers of the Ming army were divided into two parts, the navy totaled 7,000 people, and the army totaled 10,000 people.
The navy was led by Chen Houfu, and the army consisted of the Ming Royal Marines with Gui Lizhen as the division commander.
Under the leadership of the Portuguese, the army reached the sea off Manila.
At this time, the Spanish were alarmed and sent envoys to inquire.
Chen Houfu received the envoy.
The messenger asked through the translator: "What are the Ming army going to Manila for?"
Chen Houfu said solemnly: "Have you forgotten what happened in the thirty-first year of Wanli and the thirty-seventh year of Wanli?"
In the 31st year of Wanli, the Ming court sent people to Luzon to explore for minerals in Jiyi Mountain.
Because Luzon was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish had already occupied Luzon.
They believed that the Ming Dynasty was about to go to war with the Spaniards, so they collected all the iron tools at high prices.
The Chinese were greedy for profit. , leaving the family defenseless, the Spaniards ordered the names of the Chinese to be recorded, gathered together, and 300 people entered a courtyard and massacred in batches, killing more than 25,000 people in total.
In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, the Spaniards once again raised the butcher's knife and killed more than 20,000 Chinese because Chinese businessmen protested against excessive commercial taxes.
As soon as the envoy heard this, he understood the reason or excuse for Ming Dynasty to send troops
