Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock Ang~

Today's business endowment can exceed eight taels of silver, although it is close to the end of the year a little more, but so it seems that the merchant endowment can not be less than 800 taels in a year, and the township can get 40 taels of silver.

The fee at the weighing office needs to be paid to the county government every year in addition to 60 taels of silver, and the rest are owned by the township, so it seems that the weighing office alone is not less than 30 taels of silver in a year.

In addition, the labor cost of Tian Fu and Ding Fu is 2 cents (for the chief, the first chief and other personnel), and the township commission is 3 cents, so calculated, just a small three-way set, a township chief and three servants, a commission of no less than 100 taels of silver a year.

This is only in terms of tax collection, if you count other kinds of service expenses, the imperial court will not be less than 50 taels of silver in a year, and the income of the government will not be less than 30 taels of silver.

This is the Ming Dynasty, China is the implementation of the silver standard, the average annual income of the middle family is only 20 taels of silver, the imperial court stipulates that the formal income of the county is only 108 quintals of grain (54 taels of silver), so it can be seen that the income of the government is really considerable.

Although the scholars are disgusted with the smell of copper, it is absolutely impossible to do without the smell of copper, especially after seeing Wang Rimeng being promoted to the head of the township on the spot, one by one the capable chiefs were promoted to the rank of servant, and one by one they were even more envious.

Yang Xuan wants this effect, hoping that the scholars and some capable lieutenants will support the policy of sending official township chiefs.

Yang Xuan wants this effect, hoping that the scholars and some capable lieutenants will support the policy of sending official township chiefs.

Sometimes it is full of emotion, the feudal society is rampant bandits, robbers are numerous, and the most important reason why the country is falling apart is that the imperial court governance has not reached the countryside at all.

In feudal society, the imperial court only sent a few officials to each county (at most 6 people, namely the magistrate, the county magistrate, the lord, the warden, the teacher, and the instructor, but in fact only two or three), and the local gentry were autonomous.

Take Yilong County as an example, with an area of more than 1,700 square kilometers and a huge area, how can one or two officials touch the grassroots level, the local administrative setup is useless, and the squires can still suppress the people on weekdays, but if they are in troubled times, it is even more difficult to maintain local stability.

For several days, Yang Xuan took the scribes of each room, the servants, and the scholars who followed him to establish the administrative unit of the township office, especially in the end, many scholars who had not been appointed and the head of the Lijia were completely let go one by one in order to be appointed.

Due to the bloody blow to Yu Erye two days ago, and now seeing that the government has officially taken over the local tax collection work, in addition to panicking, the local white service, vested interests dare not object, and now seeing that the government has established a township office at the main entrance and collected taxes, everyone does not dare to become a rafter to oppose it in public, at most hide in the dark to do some sabotage, or run to the city to complain.

Seeing that the local ruffians in the past, and the vested interest groups such as the white servants did not jump out to openly oppose it, Yang Xuan was also happy to be idle, and on the one hand, he let it go, while on the other hand, he focused his energy on re-clearing the land, cleaning up the household registration, organizing and training regiments, and training troops.

In ancient times, government affairs paid attention to the principle of openness, not only all kinds of sea fishing documents needed to be made public, that is, various decrees of the imperial court, and official announcements would also be posted for the public to consult.

In ancient times, the yamen basically sat in the north and faced south, and various orders of the court and the government were often posted on the front wall, but the ancient documents did not have punctuation, and they were written in jerky Chinese.

Sitting in the attic of the Zhixian Yamen, looking at the enthusiastic appearance of the people outside the south wall, Yang Xuan glared at Tan Wanjin in front of him and said, "Explain, this county sent personnel to your mansion to raid the house, it is really shocking."

As the saying goes, in three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion has 100,000 white flowers, and you are a little scribe, and you are so corrupt.

Otherwise, the county will push you out in a prison car, and the county will guarantee that the people will eat your flesh and drink your blood. ”

Tan Wanjin's face turned pale, and he kept sobbing in the middle of speaking: "Adult, the little one really knows that he is wrong." My lord, this money, these are all bad rules in the past, and all the yamen in the country are like this, and the small ones are just following the big stream."

Yang Xuan interrupted the other party's nagging, shook his head and said: "Bad rules, bad rules, unreasonable bad rules will be changed, besides, this county raided your house this time, it is not just bad rules, this county investigated you because you were corrupt."

The molecular money is only more than 100 taels of silver every year, but in ten years, your family wealth is nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and these have human and physical evidence, so don't quibble. ”

Tan Wanjin shook his head and said: "My lord, these are also bad rules, the white servants below pay filial piety to the household, this is also an ugly rule, and it has been a custom for hundreds of years."

Adults, the small ones are not saints like the adults, the small ones are only the most humble people, and the small ones are just implemented according to the bad rules of the past. ”

Yang Xuan stood up, pointed to the people who were dressed in tatters outside, and the cotton jackets and cotton wool were exposed, and said: "What you said may be reasonable, but there is no doubt that this will inevitably cause the people's resentment to boil and the people will not be able to make a living."

Because there are too many officials like you in the world, rebellions are everywhere, the country is in civil strife, and the nation is facing an existential crisis. ”

Tan Wanjin's body trembled, and he looked at Yang Xuan for a long time and said, "Adult, the little one wants to ask you for two things, if you don't agree, the little one will not be blind." ”

Yang Xuan's words were suddenly not as blunt as just now, and said: "Say it, you have come to this day, in addition to environmental problems, it is also your greedy personality.

There are no officials in the country and no greed, and all officials are greedy, so the imperial court stipulates that the field is only 3 cents and 6 cents, and the three salaries are only 6 cents of silver, but you actually receive 2 coins, and in some places there is a terrifying 4 coins of silver. ”

Tan Wanjin rubbed his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Adult, the little one hopes that the adult will show mercy and give the little one a way to live." ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "In addition to the money, you have embezzled and accepted bribes of nearly 10,000 taels of silver in the past ten years, and this county has reported to the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen, and is waiting for the ruling from above, this county can't be the master." ”

Tan Wanjin's body trembled even more violently, his lips squirmed a few times, he opened his cloudy eyes and stared at Yang Xuan, and said for a long time: "Adult, the small misconduct, or the crime deserves, but, but I hope that the adult will not offend the family, and I hope that the adult can give the family a way to live." ”

Yang Xuan nodded, looked at Tan Wanjin and said: "This county punishes you and Second Master Yu, mainly to give everyone a bright future, to make the people feel that there is a way to live, and to make the displaced people change their minds."

As for your family, the county promised you that when the time comes, you will leave him three tiled houses and 20 acres of fertile land, as long as you work diligently, there is still a way to live. ”

Tan Wanjin was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank him.

In ancient times, he paid attention to sin and his wife and children, and paid attention to raiding the family and the three clans, Tan Wanjin was most worried about his wife and children after he fell, but now listening to Yang Xuan's promise, at least it is not too miserable.
