The imperial court clearly stipulates that the good land is given 3 points and 6 cents, even if the three salaries are added, it is only 6 cents (after the Liao salary is 9 cents per mu after three additions, the training salary is 1 cent, and the salary is 5 cents), but after the layers of addition, receiving two coins per mu is considered light, and many places receive 2 or 3 dollars per mu, and the people can't pay it at all.

But the servants are as evil as tigers, especially those who are temporarily recruited as white servants, who are not handed over, they are shackled and taken from people, and forced their families to pay money and release them.

When the family was taken, the whole family fell apart, and the family members cried and cried and sold their property to get people, but it was no longer the tax money owed that day.

The old man of the government locks up people, needs money, and is locked in a cell, although he does not eat or drink much, he also needs money.

In just a few days, the family members paid several times as much money as before, and once they walked out of the cell, they often ruined the family.

Yang Xuan chatted while trying the case, such as how many people are in your village, how many people are in your family, how many fields are there, what is the harvest in a year, whether there is a disaster this year, and whether you can pay the field tax according to 6 cents of silver per mu.

When these people heard this, everyone kept kowtowing, not only was there a lot of people in this prison, but everyone was together with feces and urine, and it was not a place for people to stay at all.

One acre of fertile land is enough to produce three quintals of millet in a good year (even in the last century, when the land reform and the contract responsibility system for joint production were carried out, many places did not calculate the land area by measurement, but calculated the land area according to the output.

In the hometown of the East, the joint production contract responsibility system divides the fields like this, that is, the area of three quintals of millet per mu), and there are more than 2 quintals and 5 buckets when the year is bad.

6 cents of silver, less than a bucket of rice (even if it is milled, it is only 2 buckets of rice), no matter what, it is not as good as 10% of the harvest in the field, of course everyone has no opinion, and Yang Xuan also seemed amiable and released people on the spot.

In addition to the more than 200 tax arrears, more of them are in collusion with the local tyrants, and if they are all returned because they are usually good at talking big, the others are completely unjustified, and many reasons are very far-fetched.

With the exception of those who were slightly implicated and sentenced to hard labor, the others were basically acquitted.

In the end, there were more than 100 people left, and the situation was very complicated, some of them deserved their crimes, some were wronged, and two or three people didn't even know what crime they had committed in prison.

Except for five or six who need to be kept in custody, and more than 30 who are truly guilty of deserving of the conviction and should be convicted of farming, most of the others have been acquitted or sentenced to re-education through labor.

More than 400 people, Yang Xuan was interrogated from noon on the first day to the next night, except for a slight nap at night, without the slightest delay, the entire county government prison was empty, and he dragged his tired body to the back hall to rest, but was blocked by the assistant Fan Mingshan.

Before taking office, Yang Xuan asked Fan Mingshan to select thirty decent soldiers in the army to serve as officials.

This is a beautiful difference, although the annual salary of the official is only 5 taels and 5 yuan, but just like the officials in the previous life, who relies on this meager income to support the family.

An ordinary white servant has more than 50 taels of silver a year, and these regular servants are far more than this number, and Fan Mingshan's headache is that many people are jealous of this errand.

After thinking about it, he decided to follow the professional principles of his previous life, giving priority to those who had performed well on the battlefield but were physically disabled, and to give priority to those who were old, weak, sick and disabled but with decent style.

In addition, it is to eliminate the black sheep in the ranks of scribes and officials.

In the past two days, more than 400 prisoners were interrogated, and those who took people at every turn and took them by cunning among the people were taken down and gradually eliminated from the ranks of the officials.

After the explanation was completed, Yang Xuanfang returned to the room, slept beautifully all night, and did not wake up until noon the next day.

But Yang Xuan also found it difficult to get a little peace, because he was preparing to rectify the yamen, not only needed the yamen, but also needed personnel with administrative experience, taking the opportunity of everyone to pick up the wind and wash the dust for themselves, all the county governors, grain chiefs, and Xiucai were all found and interviewed one by one.

As Xiucai Gao Yunlin later recalled, after first meeting the official and having a brief conversation, some people were led into the corridor in front of the second hall to watch tea and wait, while others were sent back.

In front of the second hall, a servant guarded the outermost part of the gate, everyone was now outside to watch the tea, and after hearing the shout, they hurriedly sorted out their clothes and entered the second hall.

Yang Xuan sat on the top, and after watching the other party sign up for the ceremony, he began to chat very casually, such as where the family lives, how many people are in the family, how much land there is, how much land is given every year, how are the villagers living, why did the local riots invade this time, how much is the land endowment per mu of fertile land, what problems will occur if there is no apportionment, and what is the income of the servants?

In the past two days, the news of the overnight trial of the county magistrate has already spread among the people, and he was mentally prepared when he came, but now that he suddenly heard this, Gao Yunlin held his breath and took advantage of the response.

Especially the problem of field endowment, don't say that ordinary people can't stand it, even if they are poor and talented, they can not stand it, and they receive 2 yuan of silver per mu of land, if they add some bad rules, they will finally exceed 3 yuan of silver, which is equivalent to a load of rice, almost 3 percent of the production in the field.

But how to solve this kind of problem, Gao Lingyun was worried, thought for a long time, and thought that there had been a lot of civil land reclamation in the past two hundred years, but if it was cleared again, he was worried about provoking a civil uprising.

In the land, although he was quite cautious on the issue of population, he hated the white servants in the township, who not only took advantage of the tricks, but also heard that some could make nearly a thousand taels of silver a year, and some houses were better than those of the rich man's house, and Xiucai was born as a private school teacher, in addition to the bride price of 12 taels of silver every year, only the students gave a little something during the New Year's holidays.

Yang Xuan asked a lot of questions at first, and after others said it, he rarely interrupted, and after the other party finished speaking, he would have a few simple conversations.

It took a day and a half to finally meet more than fifty squires before the reception banquet.

The squire was received and happily returned to the inn, one by one he seemed quite excited, this magistrate was young, not only amiable, but also open his mind, so that he vomited the unhappiness in his chest, and his heart was very comfortable.

But some gossip made everyone even more elated, and it was rumored that three days ago, an officer and soldier of the general banner rushed to the house of Yu Erye in Tiefotang and turned the Yu family upside down.

Yu Erye used to be a ruffian, since he got acquainted with his predecessor Zhixian ten years ago, he called for wind and rain in Tiefotang, and in just a few years, he built a big yard, bought hundreds of acres of land, and lived a rich life.

In less than seven or eight years, Yu Erye not only purchased houses, land and other industries, but this time he collected more than 2,000 taels of silver from the Yu family alone, which was shocking.

With Yu Erye as a breakthrough, in just three days, the army continued to dispatch one after another, arresting the head of the Minzhuang squad and the first-class official leader of the fast shift, and collecting more money than Yu Erye.

(The yamen officials written in the history of Confucianism can get 1,000 taels of silver a year)

In ancient times, the gentry were governed by the gentry and the gentry were self-governing.

Appointed by the imperial court, relying on the officials and servants in the government, and governing one side with the assistance of the local squires, the most inconspicuous and the most exploitative of them is the scribe and the servant.

Most of the magistrates and chiefs are from other provinces who are not familiar with local affairs, while the scribes and officials are different, not only exploiting the common people, but also extorting local squires.

In the past, these wolf-like servants fell one after another, and the squires seemed to see their first days one by one.

Some people disagreed, in the past, it was a co-governance structure of officials, officials, and squires, and although the clerks and officials were very troublesome, it was because the officials were smeared with black eyes when they arrived in the locality.

But now it is different, it is the local squire, who has many friends in the local area, and more importantly, there are more than 1,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and it is even more difficult for the squire to get ahead.

Just like the fundraising dinner party of Western officials in the previous life, in order to gather Cheng Yi for the new magistrate, every time the new magistrate takes office, this kind of reception banquet will be held, and the squires of the county will attend the meeting, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, it is to offer a filial piety.

Westerners act directly and directly call it a fundraising dinner, but we Chinese are quite subtle and call it a reception banquet.
