Chapter 215: Blood and Tears
When it came to Shi Huiji, Lu Ping's face showed pride: "Fuzun, you are thinking wrong, now speaking in Taiping County, Shi Xianzun is the first to work, and my township is the second to work, that is, the county Yong's words are not as useful as my township!" ”
As soon as he said this, Gao Liangcai couldn't help but be happy: "Shizhi County is of great use!" ”
Lu Ping continued: "As for this busy, I have worked together with Shi Zhixian to complete most of it!" Most likely on top of the quota. ”
Within the quota, the Hongjun and the counties were divided into three or seven, but the harvest beyond the quota was fifty-fifty, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the county magistrates, and they were all running for this grain requisition.
Lu Ping was talking about the situation in Taiping County: "This time we announced that the townships would collect rent on behalf of Tiandong, and the tenant farmers could take 30% of the harvest, and they also reduced the arrears of the previous dynasty, but the tenants ran to tell each other and came to pay for the grain. ”
"As for Tiandong's side, although he can only get fifty percent of the harvest, and the bolt point also requisitions one percent at the market price, but he can also get forty percent, which is better than getting nothing in the chaos!"
This time, Liu Chang's charter was that the tenants would take 30% of the harvest, and the Hongjun would take 20% of the harvest as the field endowment, although Tian Dong would take 50% of the harvest, but the Hongjun would requisition 10% from the 50% harvest at the market price.
After the collection was completed, the Hongjun forbade the rice and grain from going out of bounds, resulting in a big jump in grain prices, so that the Hongjun could requisition the grain at a very small price and grasp more than 30% of the harvest in the entire Taiping County.
In fact, Hongjun obtained more than the proportion of 30%, the reason is very simple, Lu Ping said: "Boss Zhang is really a holy hand of urging science, as soon as he turns over the old accounts, and then the big requisitioners can only honestly hand over the grain." ”
Is this talking about anyone else, it is the former Taizhou prefect, the current president of the Military History Museum Zhang Yuzao is also, he took out the account books of large households over the years to urge the arrears over the years, counting the interest, it is a number that has pressed many large and small families.
It's just that if you don't pay off the land owed to these big families immediately, all the land will not be official land, in this case, these big families also have the intention to launch a rebellion, but Lu Ping and Shi Huiji attacked two local families who tried to organize a rebellion and will confiscate all their fields as official land.
In this case, no one dares to defy the law, everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of the Hong Army is extremely strong, Taizhou Mansion is their world, and they have some semi-full-time group training in their hands, but they are not opponents at all, it is better to think about how to reduce this amazing tax.
What's more, it's not easy to set off a rebellion now, I don't know how many jubilant tenants are staring at the big ones, they have got thirty percent or even a little more harvest this year, and they have also waived the arrears of the past years, and have formed a community of interests with the Hong Army, and they are always staring at those big families who dare to take risks.
Although Shi Huiji and Lu Ping's treatment in Taiping County was severe, there were many ways to reduce the accumulated taxes, for example, paying off all the outstanding taxes during the busy period can be reduced at one time, not to mention all the interest, and can be reduced by half again.
For example, those who pay off 30% first during the busy period can reduce all the interest, and then repay the rest of the taxes at the autumn harvest, and there are some preferential treatments for those in the family who are enrolled in the Zenye Military Academy and those who serve in the Rainbow Army.
Moreover, Liu Chang did not take this astonishing debt for nothing, he used a very traditional method to make a blank slip one by one, and converted some parts of this astonishing batch of money and grain into the so-called "ten-year treasury bonds" and "five-year treasury bonds." "And the shortest" three-year treasury bonds. "Recognition of repayment of the original amount over a certain period of a certain period of time, with the payment of a number of interest. …,
Even if they don't believe that Liu Chang can conquer the world, they can only believe that such treasury bonds can be cashed out when they are due.
It is this kind of hope that allows many big families to send their children to Shanye Military Academy, and entering Shanye Military Academy to study can also reduce part of the field endowment, why not.
It's just that after listening to Lu Ping talk about the situation in Taiping County, especially after the county government almost mastered nearly fifty percent of the county's summer grain, Gao Liangcai said: "Yuzao's method is good, but it can only work for one year, and I'm afraid it won't work next year!" No, no, no, I'm afraid there won't be so much autumn grain. ”
Lu Ping also understood this truth, but he said with a smile: "It's no problem if there is not so much autumn grain, and when the time comes, the bolt point will be able to sweep down at least a dozen more states and counties, and we don't have to bear it alone in Taizhou." ”
Gao Liangcai smiled when he heard this: "That's right, Brother Lu Ping's official reputation as a township leader is very good, I'm afraid he is preparing to make a reputation, right?" I heard that Liu Changliu bolt point will sweep Ningbo next, and when the time comes, it will be distributed to a county in Ningbo, which is much stronger than a township in Taizhou City! ”
This is the truth, although Ningbo Mansion is full of Chinese and foreign places, it is very difficult to be an official, but everyone is willing to go to Ningbo Mansion to be an official, no one wants to stay in Taizhou Mansion, you must know that the best Huangyan and Taiping counties in Taizhou Mansion are the worst counties in Ningbo Prefecture.
And Lu Ping also smiled: "Ningbo Mansion is good, but Jinhua Mansion is not bad, as long as it is a county, it is not bad!" ”
He admitted that he was determined to be an official, and when he made an official reputation, everything would be easy to do in the county.
You must know that although the Qing Dynasty had ways to be promoted in addition to the imperial examinations such as donating classes and military merits, the imperial examinations were always the right way, and small local tyrants like Lu Ping, even if they struggled for a lifetime, they could not find a miscellaneous servant.
And a good future is waiting for him, so he would rather not make a penny, and talk about the reputation of being a term first, Gao Liangcai also has the same idea: "That's right, do a good job of the official reputation first, everything is easy to do, but you said Jinhua Mansion?" ”
Lu Ping lowered his voice and said, "The bolt point may sweep the Jinhua Mansion next." ”
Zhang Yuzao was a little puzzled by Liu Chang's abandonment of Ningbo Mansion and not fighting, but he also knew that Ningbo Mansion was a place where Chinese and foreign places were miscellaneous, and it was not easy to use soldiers: "Why are you Jinhua Mansion?" ”
"This time I came to Linhai, firstly, to send clothes to my two unfilial sons, and secondly, to go to Yuzao Gong to receive the blood and tears of Taijun."
The so-called Linhai Blood and Tears Record is a local anti-Qing reading book in Taizhou edited by Zhang Yuzao himself, which counts the endless oppression, slaughter and dereliction of duty of Taizhou by the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and integrates the blood and tears of Taizhou Mansion for 200 years, and also talks about Nanming's previous activities in Taizhou Mansion and the ban on the sea.
As soon as the book was written, there was a feeling that Luoyang paper was expensive, Zhang Yu and Zao found more than a dozen copyists to copy overnight, but it was not enough, whether it was the infantry battalions, companies, or counties and townships, there was an urgent need for such a local anti-Qing reading material to carry out propaganda.
Therefore, after copying dozens of copies, Liu Chang immediately ordered plate making and printing, striving for one copy per person, and even some places came to urge Tian Fu to offer a copy of Taijun's blood and tears as a gift.
Although Taiping County received 20 copies of "Taijun Blood and Tears" from Zhang Yuzao, it was soon found that it was not enough, and the county, township, camp, and even the county urgently needed such political readings, so Lu Ping made a special trip to Linhai City to receive a batch.
It's just that this contact with Zhang Yuzao made him discover: "Yuzao is looking for Zhu Dadian's strategy and preparing to write a biography of Zhu Dadian's Shou Jinhua." ”…,
Zhu Dadian was a super corrupt official in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but although this big corrupt official was very ruthless, he was very national, after the Qing army entered the customs, he held on to Jinhua for several to a month, and finally the whole family was martyred.
What was Zhang Yuzao's intention in compiling Zhu Dadian's biography of Jinhua City, Gao Liangcai immediately understood: "That's preparing to go west?" ”
He knew that Liu Chang had given an order that before mid-June, the Dragon Lance Regiment and the Nanxi Regiment would complete their assembly and prepare for a big operation, but the specific action could only be guessed.
Although he has some petty power in the prefect, but in major military affairs, Liu Chang often bypasses him and directly contacts the counties and regiments, and he suddenly realized: "It's not bad to fight Jinhuafu!" I just don't know if Yuzao Gong can be transferred to the prefect of Jinhua? I'm going to have to put a note on the bolt then! ”
After taking over Jinhua Mansion, it is natural to set up prefects, prefects, and township officials, and as soon as Gao Liangcai enters Jinhua Mansion, he will recommend Zhang Yuzao to serve as the prefect of Jinhua.
In fact, although Zhang Yuzao is noble now, the threat to him is great, who let Zhang Yuzao be a prefect when he was a thief, and he is just a prefect, and the weight of the two people is completely different.
But as long as Zhang Yuzao is pushed to the position of the prefect of Jinhua, then Gao Liangcai will be in an invincible position, and he can compete for the governor of Zhejiang, and he can fight for the governor of Ningshaotai and Ningbo after he retreats.
As soon as he thought of it, Gao Liangcai said to Lu Ping: "This time we will make some efforts to get things done, and when the time comes, you will certainly take a magistrate, and we will also have a governor to play with the platform." ”
After this conversation, the two of them were in a good mood, and Gao Liangcai asked about the situation of Shanye Military Academy, and Lu Ping immediately said with a saliva flying: "Shanye Military Academy's method of educating people, Lu has been going south and north for decades, and it is the first time to see it, even if it is a mediocre material, it can be used under the personal training of the bolt point." ”
He talked about a lot of details, such as the daily morning exercises, military training and housekeeping, especially for the quilt folded into squares: "My two children who are not successful have entered the administrative cadre team, and they are loose in housekeeping, but when I see their state, I know that this group of children will definitely be able to become big in the future." ”
Gao Liangcai just wanted to praise a few words, but a long entourage rushed over: "An urgent official document transferred from the bolt point and Shi Niangniang." ”
Gao Liangcai took the official document and looked at it twice, and his expression became serious.
Lu Ping immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Although the official document in Gao Liangcai's hand was urgent, he did not hesitate to tell Lu Ping: "Generalissimo Zhai Zhenhan of the Red Turban Army is fighting in northern Fujian and is ready to return to Wenzhou!" ”。
