At the end of September, the north wind gradually rose, showing a clear and cool climate in autumn.

Leizhou City is divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city is a square structure, while the outer city is connected to the south city wall, presenting a semicircular structure that is not very regular, so the shape of the entire city is square and round.

It is still the same here. The two main streets, one vertical and one horizontal, connect four city gates, and the people often come and go here. As before, the blue brick streets still write about vicissitudes.

But those who live in this city know that Leizhou City has changed.

The streets seemed more lively, the business of shops became more prosperous, and the number of beggars on the streets increased significantly. In particular, many wealthy merchants appeared in the city, and they were even looking for houses.

The weavers that no one wanted in the past are now dazzled. The craftsmen who were unable to find work in the past have become popular now and are rushing to pass by.

As for outside the Zhenyangmen, Leizhou Wharf is being built, and the official road connecting Leizhou Wharf is also being built, presenting a lively scene.

In this coming winter, Leizhou City has shown a prosperous scene, changing bit by bit, developing in a beautiful direction.

Early that morning, Lin Weiran returned to the signing room after the second hall was in the second hall.

As many people imagined it differently, the life of the prefect was actually monotonous and boring. Lin Qingran sat down at the desk in the inner room, drank a cup of refreshing ginseng tea and started working.

Since today is September 28th and the day of refusal is released, this day has to be accepted by the people and tell the people.

Although there is still a Haikang County Government under Leizhou City, if the people in Leizhou City want to file a complaint, they will often go around the Haikang County Government Government directly and come to the Leizhou Government Government to submit the complaint.

But it is not that they completely distrust Haikang County Government, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the higher the official rank, the more fair the affairs of officials. Just like the cabinet masters of the dynasty, they would not favor anyone because of a little profit.

What's more, Leizhou Prefecture and Haikang County Prefecture are only separated by one palace and school palace. No one will be stingy with this mere few steps, and they will choose to hand the letter to Leizhou Prefecture.

That's why the Haikang County Government almost doesn't have to work on litigation cases, while the Leizhou Government Government Government Government has to bear this responsibility.

Lin Qingran gradually became familiar with the role of the prefect, and did not feel much apologized for the matter, and tried to become a competent prefect. In fact, most cases were directly handed over to the clerk below to "publish" and finally he could "recommend the winner" himself. Only some major cases would have to work hard.

"This is a summary grain book for Haikang County's grain collection in the past five years. It was just sent by Wei Zhubo!" Sun Jixiang walked in and delivered a thick booklet to the front of the case.

Lin Qingran was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the efficiency of Haikang County was so high, but he soon felt relieved. The county magistrate of Haikang County was vacant, and Wei Zhubo also wanted to hold his thick thighs to seek progress, so his efficiency would naturally not be low.

He is actually not disgusted with officials seeking progress. In fact, he is such an official. He once spent a lot of effort on the position of Hanlin attendant, and now he is thinking about how to return to the capital with glory.

Huh?

When Sun Jixiang went out, he looked at Lin Weiran in confusion.

He knew that this boss was very "utilitarian" and would definitely not do any useless work. But this time, he couldn't understand why the boss suddenly wanted to check the grain collection situation.

If the boss makes old debts, he will definitely not believe the big money who owes taxes. After all, the boss's wisdom is here, so he will definitely not do such a naive thing. But if he didn't pursue the taxes, why check the grain collection situation of Wuliang?

In the end, Sun Jixiang could not guess Lin Weiran's thoughts, and went to the official's office area with a lot of doubts to check if there were any major cases.

rustle……

Lin Weiran lowered his head and read the information carefully, and devoted himself to his work.

The amount of grain collection is an impossible task for any county government. It was okay to start a state of state, but in the current Jiajing Dynasty, it was a great thing to be able to collect 80% of the food, and even in some prefectures and counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it could be awarded 60% of them.

In addition to the poor people like Koizumi Village who are unable to pay taxes, there are also powerful local tyrants. If they refuse to pay taxes, the county government officials will have no choice but to do anything.

Take Gong Sanguang from Suicheng for example. The magistrate wants to sell him some face. If he really doesn't pay taxes, will the officials who assisted in collecting grain dare to use violent levies to him?

That's true, collecting grain is a very difficult job, and it often does not satisfy people.

Lin Weiran opened the grain book in Haikang County and found that less than 70% of the first four years were, but this year's autumn grain was more than 80%.

He was very happy about this discovery, after all, the wealthy families in Haikang County are very proud of their face.

But he was also vigilant, which also shows that the large households in Haikang County have more or less the habit of resisting taxes. The first time the grain is to give face, but it is not allowed to resist food next time, and they will even attack him.

After realizing this problem, he carefully checked. He began to investigate one by one who was a good citizen who had been paying taxes and who was a stubborn person who resisted food.

He was surprised to find that the Qian family, the largest family in Haikang County, was actually a tax-paying good citizen. He had not owed a grain of food in five years, so he could simply give up a banner reward.

While using tea at noon, Wei Zhubo heard Lin Qingran’s inquiry and immediately gave the Qian family a thumbs up and praised: “The Qian family is really a great family in our county! The Qian family not only does not owe taxes, but also supports some poor children to go to school and build bridges and roads for their hometowns. The Qian Bin Bridge, which crosses the south river, was built by their family.”

"Qian Bin? This name sounds familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Lin Weiran was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion.

Master Wei smiled slightly and bowed, "Qian Bin is the pride of our Haikang County. It would be strange if he had never heard of it. He was a Jinshi in the Zhengde period. He became a Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture. He had a good reputation. After he retired from the army and returned to the field, he founded a clan school. As a result, the Qian family produced many scholars. His great-grandson Qian Hui even achieved the tenth place in the autumn examination in Guangdong this year."

Lin Xun suddenly realized that this was one of the rare Ming Jinshi in Haikang County. No wonder he had some impression. As for why the Qian family became the largest landlord in Haikang County, it is probably related to Qian Bin.

According to the regulations of Leizhou Prefecture, the Jinshi is exempted from 2,000 acres and the Juren is exempt from 500 acres.

Lin Qingran gained great benefits for the benefits of this kind of thing. When he was in high school, someone took the initiative to send him land. When he won the top scorer, the situation was not clear, but when he came back this time, a lot of land was in his name.

Just because of an imperial examination, he went from a proletarian to a big landlord.

The Qian family could become the largest landlord in Haikang County, probably because they made their fortunes from Qian Bin, and then several scholars who have achieved fame and fortune, which led to the current Qian family.
