Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: the landlord's family has no surplus
Liang Teng sat in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and immediately summoned his subordinates to calculate the amount of grain owed by each province.
To calculate, we naturally have to start from Nanzhili and Fujian, especially Nanzhili. It took only a few days to roughly owed official grains, a total of 330,000 dan. Immediately, the Ministry of Revenue directly wrote down the article
To urge grain, the fast horse was transferred directly to Nanzhili.
The various prefectures in Nanzhili received official documents from the Ministry of Revenue, and the prefects were stunned.
It’s unreasonable, it’s unreasonable, 330,000 dan, 14 prefectures, one prefecture is 20,000 to 30,000 dan, but for a province, it may be a drop in the bucket, but if it’s a prefecture, it would be completely different.
Even if it is discounted by the Ministry of Revenue, it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver. To be honest, everyone has taken advantage of the loss. A prefect is soft-hearted, and there are only one or two thousand pounds of casual silence, and a little bit of bad intentions.
Three or four thousand dans are not impossible.
After getting the grain, I immediately gave it to the grain merchants, and the money from the snowflakes came.
But the problem is that after the prefect was greedy, he did not eat alone, but wanted to be filial to the people. There are so many officials in the court, which one should not handle some? His teacher, should someone take a gift to deliver during the holidays, and
The Ministry of Revenue and some officials from the Ministry of Personnel should give you something every now and then? Just welcome and send me off, almost half of the official grain I ate, and the rest were all my own coffin book. Even if I hand it over, then
Not enough to fill this deficit.
Moreover, there is another even more terrifying problem inside, which is that the magistrates of the Qingzhang land, and the magistrates did not take greed for these silver prefectures. However, the gentry and local officials did nothing but a small number of submissions. Now they have to fill the gap.
Not only do you spit out your own money and grain, but you also have to collect all the grain taxes that the gentry did not pay. But even so, can you still bring back the sent ice charcoal?
The prefects were dumbfounded. After a closer look at the official documents, they took a deep breath of air conditioning. Next, they were even more foolish. If they did not pay the quota, the court would deal with you. Now His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter and is already planning to find a few chickens to kill.
Killing is called killing a chicken and scaring a monkey.
If you don’t pay it, your good official status will become a chicken to be slaughtered?
Moreover, it is reported that the various patrols of the Censorate have already been inspected by the factory guards, and the secret spies from the factory guards have also been sent to the various prefectures. This is obviously not enough to pay the food, so you will kill the rhythm.
Suddenly, all the yamen in Nanzhili were in full swing and there were wailing everywhere. The officials gathered together and kept calculating, and the more they calculated, the more tragic it became.
The only thing that makes people thankful is that although the subordinates cannot pay the money clearly, can the other governments pay all the money? Thinking of this, everyone felt more at ease. After all, the law does not punish the public.
But... even though that's the case, the problem has emerged again. Even if the law does not blame the public, the court will definitely have to do some things that are unwilling to do their best. Whoever falls behind will be unlucky. Therefore, no matter what,
It is necessary to make up all the official grains you can get. Without asking for the quota, at least, you cannot fall behind others. This is like a person chased by a lion. You don’t need to be able to travel thousands of miles a day, but you just run faster than others.
Enough.
A huge grain collection campaign has finally begun. All prefectures and counties have put forward a list of lists. It is just to tell everyone that the government is going to collect grain, aiming to clear the land again. Any wealthy households who conceal the land must clear the land.
, recover the grain tax.
The official documents were posted, and many people were still watching and wanted to see how the government pursued the law. Those gentry with great influence were not worried. Anyway, they couldn't pay them anyway. After all, they
There is someone above.
But the small and medium-sized landlords were worried that the past two years have been difficult. Not only does the land rent be reduced every day, but they are tax-free, but their own taxes are high. They finally spent money to make money and finally concealed a lot of them.
The land is exempted from taxes, but now it has to be cleared again, which means that the money I used to make was wasted.
In fact, since Zhejiang's new policy, due to the shortage of manpower, many wealthy households have reached the verge of collapse and bankruptcy. Under such circumstances, if taxes are imposed, the landlords will have no way to survive.
As a result, the officers of the prefectures and counties went down to the countryside like wolves and tigers. Only then did everyone realize that the government was going to take real action. Seeing the officers coming to their own fields and starting to measure the fields, these people hurried to negotiate, usually
When the official saw them, each of them had to be polite, but now, there is no need to discuss it.
If you want to recover the official grain, you can't let the masters pay the money by themselves. As for the few rich families, they obviously dare not make things difficult for them. There is no way out, so they have to find you.
All of a sudden, many people couldn't help but feel cold.
Black, black enough!
We usually eat ours and take ours. We need ours to raise funds for our cultivation and study, and we also need our participation in the construction of dikes. Now, we can turn against each other and let people live.
In fact, there are really people who can't survive. When the land rent is minimized, the landlords in Zhejiang can still barely support the past because of tax cuts and tax exemptions. However, on the one hand, the labor costs are increasing, and on the other hand, the grain tax is fierce.
Yu Hu and the landlord's surplus grains are really going to be plundered.
The anger finally burst out, and the gentry had no way to survive. Some people scolded Xu Qian for meddling in other people's business, while others scolded the men in Nanzhili who did not imitate the new policy to reduce taxes and increase their levies.
The struggle for learning has aroused again.
The old scholars scolded the new policy. After the new policy, the price of manpower rose, and the Zhejiang Governor Xu Qian wrote a letter to recover official grain; while the Wang Xue people denounced the government's corruption and illegality, demanded the implementation of the new policy and the reduction of grain taxes.
There is a big mess in the countryside, and it is also a big mess in the prefectures and counties.
However, the officials from all prefectures and counties were under a lot of pressure. For example, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture Zhu Mao was very troubled.
He is from Shanxi and was originally a prosecutor of Dali Temple in the capital. Now that he is here, he is disgusted with the popularity of Wangxue here in Jiangnan, so he cheered up and wanted to clean up his school affairs. Since he is willing to lead the other government agencies, he is the only one who is willing to take the lead.
The ruling magistrates also felt that they had found their backbone and followed them one after another.
However, it was not long before the Ministry of Revenue went down. Yingtian Mansion should recover the most official grain, a total of 47,000 dan. Zhu Fu Yin almost fainted. He was an official transferred from the capital.
Therefore, there are a lot of losses reported because there are many relationships in the capital, so it is essential to go to the top to manage some things.
In addition, Nanjing is a gathering place for local tyrants, and many rich people have long fallen leaves and roots. None of them are easy to provoke. They want to conceal the land. As the prefect of Yingtian, can you force them to pay the grain tax obediently.
?
Yingtian Mansion is different from other places. The big squire in other places can be touched, just to think that they are fighting tigers, but none of them can be provoked here, and even many vassal kings have their own farms here. Could it be that
Do you still dare to be uncomfortable with the prince?
At this point, Zhu Mao no longer has the heart to care about Wang Xue's affairs. Now he is trying his best to collect grain. To collect grain, he must start from these small and medium-sized households. Small households will be reported to be medium households, and medium households will be reported to be large households.
In short, how much can be calculated.
But when those small and medium-sized landlords see that you don’t care about the big households and are willing to submit, they will inevitably launch a protest against the villagers and tenants. The officials are at the bottom of collecting grain. It is difficult to walk and run into a wall everywhere. They have to deal with a few landlords who are making trouble.
It finally calmed down the situation.
I thought that the situation could obviously calm down when I was born, but who would have thought that the school disputes in Nanjing started again, Wang Xue and the old school were both making excitement and scolding each other. After all, students, scholars, and even many officials,
Their interests are completely different. The countryside affairs are actually closely related to them. Now the interest groups in Yingtianfu have undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, growing mulberry and cotton at home, they naturally support the new policy, or have a deal in Zhejiang.
It also supports the new policy and Wang Xue. As for those who grow grain, some people think that Zhejiang's reduction and exemption of grain taxes are beneficial to them, and they also support Wang Xue. Of course, many stubborn people regard Wang Xue as a pseudo-school. At this time,
Xu Qian wrote a letter and hit them hard again. Many people were on the verge of bankruptcy, and even people from Ruyifang were buying land everywhere. Anyway, you, a landlord, can't continue to do it, so why not sell the land?
, Land is their foundation, and selling land is impossible, but if you don't sell it, you will lose net losses every year. Now the government will re-measure the land, which is even more tragic. You can't even live a life, and when will the landlords still go
I have considered whether there will be food for next year, but now, many small and medium-sized landlords in Yingtianfu really have to consider this issue.
The contradiction has begun to become sharp and it is impossible to calm it down. Originally, the prefect was as excited as soon as he had a fight for his studies, but now he has no time to take care of it, and he can take care of it.
I can't care about that.
At this time, a news came, completely pushing the scholarship to a climax.
Xu Qian, the left deputy censor of the Censorate and the governor of Zhejiang, is about to pass through Nanjing and visit Mr. Yangming to ask Wang Xuejing for advice.
This is a very short news. It is a common thing for officials to pass by somewhere to visit local scholars and famous scholars. It was originally a beautiful story, but now the news is completely different. One is founded by Wang Xue.
One is the leader of the New Deal and the spiritual leader of Wang Xue. What does this person surnamed Xu mean? What is his intention to visit him?
After hearing this news, Wang Xuemen was greatly encouraged, and the joy was thunderous. Wang Xue officials, Wang student members, and Wang Xueshi from various prefectures and counties in Nanzhili gathered in Nanjing, intending to participate in the grand event. Of course, naturally hope.
Meet Xu Futai.
Chapter 2 is delivered. Because of the annual meeting, I can only update two times in the past few days, so everyone will take care of it.
