However, these tax-free fields also became a major disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty.

As the later generations of "rich people pay more taxes", the rich people in this era do not have to pay taxes, while the poor people have to pay more taxes.

Both Juren and Jinshi can enjoy tax-free preferential treatment. If you achieve success in your career, it will also have great benefits. If you reach the fourth rank, you can get exempted from 2,000 mu or above. If you reach the fourth rank, you can get exempted from 10,000 mu.

On the other hand, ordinary people, local county magistrates dare not attack those gentry classes, but in order to collect grain, they often try every means to squeeze more tax grain.

In particular, Jia Yingchun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, proposed that "less than 70% of the grain collection is required, and local officials are not allowed to be promoted." This pressure is likely to be directly affected by ordinary people.

It is precisely this unfair taxation rule that has caused constant social conflicts and conflicts and the ordinary people to be overwhelmed. In the following decades, peasant uprisings emerged one after another.

As a vested interest, Lin Weiran naturally would not actively criticize this unfair tax collection phenomenon.

What's more, the fairness and justice of the imperial examinations are here, and everyone's opportunities are equal. And in order to achieve fame, they have been working hard for ten years, which can only be said to be a reward after hard work.

Standing in different positions, Lin Weiran suddenly felt that his views on things will be different, especially things that concern his own interests.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and the courtyard outside was bathed in the autumn sunshine.

Sun Jixiang walked in with a stack of paper and reported to him: "Today, a total of 63 complaints were received, including eight criminal cases, and the rest were civil disputes." As he said that, he took eight of the criminal cases.

Placed in front of the case.

Lin Qingran nodded slightly and reached out to pick up one of the criminal lawsuits for reading. However, he found that Sun Jixiang was still holding some lawsuits in his hand. He looked up at him in confusion and said, "There is still a special situation?"

"Yes!" Sun Jixiang nodded slightly, his face seemed hesitant, and then put down several lawsuits in his hand and said: "These lawsuits were caused by land disputes, but they were only checked, but they were in line with the saying "Thousand-year-old field".

The eight hundred masters'. Many people will not register and register in the government for land purchases and sales, which will lead to the fact that the litigant cannot provide real evidence."

Lin Weiran frowned slightly. If Tian Qi did not make up for this matter, both parties would have different opinions. Such cases could not be judged at all. It was just for their own interests. In such a situation where two options were available, officials would

Often choose to let big players win the case.

Sun Jixiang looked at Lin Qiran without saying a word, then put the lawsuits for the gentry to seize property on the case, and then quietly withdrew. He knew that the boss had not asked him for his opinion, so he must have had an idea in his heart.

Why!

Lin Qingran watched Sun Jixiang leave, opened the complaints and quickly put them on the case. He knew that there was a very likely situation of encroachment on the land, but he could not easily touch on this matter.

Although he could help one or two weak people, on the next day of revenge, his government office would probably be overcrowded, and in the end he would force him to directly occupy the opposite side of the gentry in Haikang County.

Most importantly, his plan to open sea requires the support of the gentry of Haikang County, rather than this group of ordinary people without land.

After Lin Weiran handled the official duties at hand, he got up and left the signing room, intending to go to the fish market with Hu Niu to buy seafood.

But when he walked past the courtyard gate and saw the extremely quiet courtyard, he sighed. Only then did he realize that the girl Hu Niu had returned to her hometown, and at this time he might have led a group of children to show off his power around the village.

Usually, the girl always makes noise in front of her, but she doesn't think anything is going on. She even feels a little annoying. But now that the girl is not here, her heart suddenly becomes empty.

Lin Weiran gave up the idea of ​​going to the fish market in the outer city to buy seafood and took Tiezhu away from the government office. Behind him, several servants followed him and headed towards the workshop located on Zhongdong Street in the town.

The workshop has been completed. When we arrived at the gate, we heard the sound of weaving "chiji", and there was a busy scene inside. Compared with the factories in later generations, the female workers here seemed to be more diligent and more quick-witted.

The joint workshop is in the form of a joint venture, and Changlin Dyeing Factory is fully responsible for the maintenance of machinery, but the more specific operation is a shopkeeper sent by the Weng family.

"Master Mansion Master, what kind of wind blows you!" When Manager Weng saw Lin Weiran appear, he immediately came over from afar, with a bright smile on his face.

He has deeply experienced the magic of this flying bushing loom these days. With the production efficiency of this machine, Leizhou Bu will inevitably rise and even replace Songjiang Bu's status, which contains amazing interests.

"I'm just idle and come and take a look. You're busy with yours, don't pay attention to me!" Lin Weiran waved his hand gently, and then his eyes fell on the machine in the workshop.

The shuttle jumped like an elf, and every time it jumped, the cotton thread intersected with the weft and weft. It was slowly forming a piece of cotton cloth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene has surprised countless people and shocked countless people.

"I'm not busy either. It's a villain's honor to be with the adults!" Manager Weng said with a smile.

Lin Qingran turned his head and looked at his fat face. He knew that this person was actually the direct descendant of the Weng family. If he had a posture, he was undoubtedly a humiliated Jianglong. He smiled with a little affection and said, "Shopkeeper Weng, what can you encounter in the workshop."

Difficulty? If there is, I will do my best to help you solve it!"

The shopkeeper Weng hesitated for a moment and bowed seriously: "The cooperative workshop has indeed encountered a problem! The villain did not expect that the machine was so efficient, and the cotton in the warehouse was almost exhausted. If the cotton in Guangzhou could not be done within three days.

If you arrive, the workshop may be shut down.”

cotton?

When Lin Weiran heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

A long time ago, he knew that cotton was a shortcoming in Leizhou Prefecture. Although he had the skills and could solve the problems of personnel, it made him feel a headache about the problem of cotton.

Although goods can be purchased from other places, the land freight in this era is not low, and it is difficult to connect to sea freight. And this method is actually to cure the root cause but not the root cause. If there is no one's own cotton-producing area, this Leizhou cloth will always be subject to others.

In later generations, there was a classic business war case, the soybean crisis. After the United States controlled the soybean supply, although China had many previous refineries, it still caused a catastrophe.
