"Why is there a 40% tax on privately owned land in the Land Grant Order?"

This is the common roar of almost all the landlords in Guangdong. The decree was not Wei Ze's initiative, and many new dynasties had similar moves since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was the same system of granting land. Moreover, the landlords' arguments were not correct, and the land grant decree stipulated that the proportion of taxation would vary according to the amount of land occupied. More importantly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty pursued a tax and silver system, while the Guangfu Prefecture reinstated the tax system in kind for the countryside.

The landlords are not fools, and the Guangfu Governor's Office is also an organization that attaches great importance to policy propaganda, and the land grant order explains the policy very clearly. Now, as long as the landlords join the land grant system of the Governor's Office, the tax of ordinary peasants will be fixed at 30%. The Guangfu military controlled large tracts of land, most of which were still connected, and those scattered lands also showed the advantage of small areas in the Pearl River Delta. All kinds of information prove that the Liberation Army is taking advantage of its military strength and the advantage of the proportion of land in these local areas to force other people in these advantageous areas to transfer their land to the Liberation Army and then join the land grant system, so that these intertwined areas can be managed in a unified manner.

Naturally, these landlords are the ones who can best understand the advantages and power of the big landlords who have contiguous land. This means being able to effectively exclude external forces, and it means being able to recruit troops at the local level. And these policies are also clearly written in the land grant decree. Citizens are obliged to perform military service.

Therefore, the Governor's Mansion also dared to unceremoniously levy a tax of 40 percent on small and medium-sized landlords, and a tax of 40 percent or even 50 percent on the big landlords. This is not only because the hand of the Governor's Office has reached deep into the grassroots of society, but more importantly, the Governor's Office is creating a new grassroots level of society according to its own wishes.

Jiangmen is a relatively ordinary area in Guangdong, and there are sayings all over Guangdong, and Jiangmen will not be less. At the gatherings attended by landlords and militia leaders, almost everyone was violently attacking the system.

Yin Xiaofeng, the leader of the militia group who ranked fourth in Jiangmen, bowed his head slightly, and his expression was quite gloomy, which was very eye-catching among these social stalwarts in Guangdong, who were excited.

"Xiaofeng! The Liberation Army captured your brother and exhausted your brother to death, we can't give up with the Liberation Army! Yue Shousong, a well-known merchant group leader and tobacco merchant in Jiangmen, said to Yin Xiaofeng with an impassioned attitude.

Yin Xiaofeng just smiled bitterly, but there was no sign of being incited. Although his face looked bland, Yin Xiaofeng scolded Yue Shousong in his heart. If it weren't for Yue Shousong and others who opened a big smoke shop, how could Yin Xiaofeng's younger brother Yin Xiaoling smoke a big cigarette? When his younger brother died, Yin Xiaofeng naturally felt sad, but he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, because no one in the family would steal the family's money, or even steal the family's valuable things and sell them, and then rush into the big smoke house to spend all the money.

Yin Xiaofeng's younger brother Yin Xiaoling originally had more than 20 acres of land, which had been sold, and before he was arrested, he was even more surrounded by walls. Compared with this big smoke, even if the land grant order wants to seize the land, it will still divide a part of the land to everyone according to what it says. This is far from the point where the family is ruined. The Guangfu Army, which implemented the land granting order, really banned smoking, at least now in Jiangmen, no one dares to smoke in public. After the people who smoked big cigarettes were arrested and reformed through labor, and the demanders were eradicated from the roots, the gang of people who did big tobacco business no longer had any business.

Yue Shousong didn't know what Yin Xiaofeng was thinking, but even if he knew, he didn't dare to get angry. He began to fan the flames along with the already excited feelings of the landlords, "Everyone! Who are the people in the Governor's Mansion, they are all thieves! What kind of background are they, they are all ruffians, hooligans, poor ghosts who don't even have land. They and we are not the same people. ”

The landlords, militias, and merchant groups, these people scolded one after another, and some even cursed Wei Ze, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, who was thundered by the sky. Although these people were talking lively, Yin Xiaofeng also showed one thing, everyone was indignant, saying that they would never listen to the words of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, let alone have any cooperation with the Guangfu Governor's Mansion. Other than that, no one dared to claim to use their own strength to challenge the Governor's Mansion. This is by no means that this group of people is by no means non-violent Buddhists, and their self-control in times of agitation, and their blunt or smooth switching in the midst of exuberant speech, prove that this is their own very sober choice not to touch on the topic of armed confrontation.

A regiment of the Guangfu Army was stationed in Jiangmen, and the troops of this regiment had swept away the forces of the Thirteen Elements in Jiangmen lightly. The Thirteen Elements have quite a lot of armed forces in their hands, which they can't afford to provoke other militia groups. But those fire qiang in the hands of the thirteen elements are as useless as burning fire sticks in the face of the step qiang in the hands of the Guangfu army. There is a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, and after seeing these battles, no militia group dares to say that they can fight and can fight.

Even so, this meeting is fierce enough. The so-called Qianfu pointed out that nothing happened, and the negative feelings condensed in the venue were also very agitating, and even Yin Xiaofeng, who had not fought against the Guangfu Army in the first place, felt that his resentment towards the Guangfu Army was getting stronger and stronger at this time.

At the end of the meeting, the participants were afraid to speak completely publicly, and the Manchu social stalwarts finally reached a consensus that no matter what lobbying methods the Governorate used, they would not cooperate with the Governor. At such times, everyone must unite and confront the Governor's Office.

After the meeting ended, Yue Shousong found Yin Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, my brother said that you are also older, and you must always get married when it is time to get married, are you willing?" ”

Hearing this, Yin Xiaofeng was stunned. What came to mind in his ears was the voice of a seven or eight-year-old girl, although the tone was rapid, but there was an indescribable softness, "Brother Xiaofeng, don't go so fast, wait for me!" ”

Although he can still remember the voice, Yin Xiaofeng can't remember the appearance of the little girl in green clothes clearly, in short, she is chubby. However, Xiaofeng did not forget her name, Yue Lianyi.

Yue's family is a big family in Foshan, and the head of the family, Yue Shoushan, has many wives and is exceptionally healthy, so he has seven daughters. Yin Xiaofeng's grandfather is also a well-known figure in Jiangmen, not only rich, but also a well-known practitioner. When he was young, he was also brave and ruthless, and he went to Foshan and had extensive "exchanges" with local boxers. is such a brave and ruthless guy, but he met Yue Shoushan's father, who was also young at the time, and became friends. In Yin Xiaofeng's father's generation, the two families married their sons and daughters.

It's just that the Yin family later had a conflict with the British in business, and after the struggle failed, they lost a lot of money and their vitality was greatly damaged. Yin Xiaofeng, who was still a teenager, followed his father and uncle to Luzon to do business, and he made some money. Yin Xiaofeng's father died of illness in Luzon. Although the family has stabilized its crumbling situation, it no longer has the scenery of the grandfather's time.

Yin Xiaofeng is a very good-looking person, since the two families are no longer at the same level, it is always wrong to talk about marriage. But when he was a child and a teenager, he was taken to Foshan by his father several times, especially when Yin Xiaofeng decided to go to Luzon ten years ago, the petite girl and the cute smile ......, every time he thought about it, Yin Xiaofeng felt an inexplicable melancholy. Now that he has the opportunity to complete the marriage contract, this can't help but make Yin Xiaofeng feel his heart beating,

However, this kind of excitement is only a matter of a moment, there is no banquet in the world that eats for nothing, and the Yue family made such a statement at this juncture, it is difficult to say what kind of considerations are hidden behind it. Yin Xiaofeng knew that his family's recovery was largely because he took the opportunity to exterminate the Heaven and Earth Society and set up a team training team. In addition, Yin Xiaofeng himself had been in Luzon and had seen the Spanish army, so he was finally stronger than other regiments.

But the rational consideration did not last long, and the eagerness made Yin Xiaofeng feel that Foshan was so far away from Jiangmen after all, and there was also a Guangzhou in it. Even if the Yue family made some unreasonable request, Yin Xiaofeng would just be perfunctory at most. Even if you agree to it in person, you can do too much behind your back. can imagine seeing Yue Lianyi, without the consent of the Yue family, then naturally don't even think about it. The young man's blood rushed, and Yin Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, "Then when will you go to Foshan to meet Master Yue?" ”

On August 2o, Yin Xiaofeng finally brought a large number of gifts to Foshan. But Yue Shoushan seemed to want Yin Xiaofeng to dry it, and after Yin Xiaofeng waited in the living room for a while, Yue Shoushan Yue appeared in the living room with the smell of incense. Xiaofeng vaguely remembered Yue Shoushan's appearance, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The conversation is nothing special, it's just a very traditional recent situation, the situation at home, the economic situation at home, and how the business is doing. Regarding Yin Xiaofeng's trip to Luzon, Yue Shoushan didn't pay any special attention. Just politely asked about it.

Yin Xiaofeng responded to Yue Shoushan's words with anticipation, and after hearing the foreshadowing in front, Yue Shoushan said: "You are not young anymore, you might as well hurry up with this marriage!" Yin Xiaofeng only felt as if his heart was about to fly out of his cavity in a flickering manner, and he would not do anything other than nod his head violently like a chicken.

After arranging for Yin Xiaofeng to stay, Yue Shousong, who came with him, found his brother, "Big brother, why don't you just tell Yin Xiaofeng about the incident together?" ”

"What's the hurry? Now say, what if he doesn't agree? Things still have to be taken one step at a time. Yue Shoushan said full. After saying that, he stood up and looked like he was going out.

Yue Shousong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

Yue Shoushan replied without looking back: "Go and put incense on the ancestors!" With that, he went straight away.

Yue Shousong looked at his eldest brother in confusion, as far as he could see and know, Yue Shoushan had never been a person who attached so much importance to the spirit of his ancestors. Now he's suddenly changed like this, what the hell is going on?
