Zichuan started to prosper, and two liters per mu were donated as charity grain.

It has been recognized and praised by the emperor, so it has become a standard now. If you have money, you can donate more, but if you have land, the minimum donation is two liters per mu. This is not a tax, but a local act of charity.

The imperial court did not use this food, but only used it for local famine relief and to help orphans and widows. The county did not directly manage it, but only sent one or two people to assist in supervision.

In this way, it is equivalent to everyone saving a public disaster relief fund, which can be taken from the people or used by the people.

Although the gentry in Zhangqiu were willing to take the initiative to settle the previous bad debts, Zhu Yihai still refused. The people of Shandong were also greatly harmed by the Tatars. Although Zhangqiu was not greatly affected by the Yellow River floods, it has also been affected by the floods in recent years.

All kinds of arbitrary and violent levies were imposed, and levies came and went, but in the end they still harmed the people.

Even if the powerful gentry is willing to take the responsibility, there is no need to do this kind of thing except as a last resort.

If they really wanted to make up for it, they would have to sell off their fields, or even transfer mines, etc. This would not be conducive to long-term peace and stability, so it would be fine.

Zhu Yihai finally accepted the gold and silver they donated.

Of course, rewards were also given.

These gentlemen were given an archway as a mark of recognition.

In addition, their children will be given a quota for the Imperial College. Even those who participated in the Tatar imperial examination and won the imperial examination, such as the Li Jinming brothers, will not be held accountable. They will be allowed to retain their previous imperial examination achievements in the Ming Dynasty and can continue to take the imperial examination.

Even Zhangqiu County Government, Tuanlian, and Township Baojia would give priority to these gentry.

Zhu Yihai even boasted a bit shamelessly that he would rule the world together with the gentry. The gentry he mentioned were stunned for a moment. Of course, they were also very happy with this result, and even a bit unexpectedly happy.

Although there will be no more exemptions and exemptions for the gentry in the future, the officials and gentry will pay the same grain, land will be levied per acre, and even industrial and commercial taxes, levies, mineral taxes, etc. will be levied in the future. They are not gentry, and they do not have any privileges or exemptions, but at least now

Hasn’t this level been passed?

Emperor Tian is very kind.

At least it's much better than the Tatars who race to enclose the land, force them to surrender, or even levy and extort money.

This means that without comparison, there is no difference.

Zhu Yihai also specially asked these gentry to call the young members of the family. He personally considered it and found out that they were good at reading and writing good articles. He even directly arranged for them to study in the Imperial College without occupying the space given to them.

Quota.

Even if their writing is mediocre, as long as they are tall and strong, regardless of whether they are good at riding or shooting, they will be specially recruited to study at the Tokyo Military Academy.

This is also a way to make a career.

"It's dinner time too, so everyone will stay and have dinner with me."

It was still the emperor who took him to the imperial camp for inspection, and then stayed in the same camp to eat together, making steamed buns and stewed soup.

Li Jinming finished the meal with some trepidation, thanked him at the end and left. On the way, he told his brother Jinyi, "When you get back, quickly clean up all the land that has been transferred to the village, the land that has not been reclaimed, and the government land that has been invaded and handed over to the Yamen. Not even one acre can be taken."

Keep."

"We must quickly take the lead in setting up the charity warehouse. In addition to paying two liters per mu, our family will donate an additional five hundred stones of grain."

"Donate so much? Tens of thousands of catties!"

"It's already this time, and you still can't bear to part with this small amount of food? As long as this time passes safely, we will be safe and sound in the future, how many five hundred shi are there? Our family has tens of thousands of acres of land, and just collecting rent alone in a year will cost us tens of thousands of shi of food.

Don’t let the small lose the big.”

"Also, go back and study hard to prepare for the exam. Next year in Enke, all our brothers will have to take part. This is fundamental."

When Li Jinyi heard that he was going to take the imperial examination again, he couldn't help but feel a headache, "We got Jinshi in the Qing court in Beijing, but this is also because there are not many people taking the exam, especially there are no scholars from the south. Now we have to take the exam in Tokyo, which is basically

They are all from the South, can we pass the exam?"

"Shao Tianchao has two rankings, the Northern and Southern Rankings. When we take the exam, we will also take the Northern Ranking. What are we afraid of? Since we can pass the exam in Beijing, it is the same in Tokyo. As long as we pay attention, it will be fine. I think it is best to explain it to my family. Let's go directly to Tokyo to prepare for the exam now.

,"

After hearing this, Li Jinyi thought it made sense, "Well, now I can still visit officials in Tokyo and communicate with the southern officials."

"Take all the young people in the family to study in Tokyo. Those who can go to the Imperial Academy will go to prison, and those who can't go to prison will continue to study. Now Zhangqiu is not peaceful. There is going to be a big war."

"Brother, do you think you can't win?"
