The most important thing in fighting a war is money, and the first thing to do is to govern the local government, and in the past, the collection of government and commercial taxes was completely handed over to those white servants, which not only took advantage of the people, but also caused a large loss of tax and silver.
After abolishing the operation of white labor, it was decided to reform the grain chief system of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, the hereditary grain chief was changed to an official faction, and each market set up a township office, and the official grain chief, that is, the township chief in the modern sense, was assigned to 2-3 officials.
In the past, the imperial court stipulated that there were 30 people in each county, but now they have set up a name and assigned the people who used to guard the passes of the county town to various markets, and collect the merchant levies, field levies, and ding levies at the local level.
Artisan households and merchants are levied according to the principle of three classes and nine rules in the past, and the merchant endowment is 1 tael a year for the lower grade, 2 taels for the lower class, 3 taels for the lower class, 4 taels for the middle and lower class, 6 taels for the middle and lower class, 10 taels for the middle class, 15 taels for the upper and lower grades, 20 taels for the upper and middle grades, and 25 taels for the upper and upper grades, which are all modeled after the old system of the imperial court, but for super large merchants with more than 10 employees and an annual income of 500 taels, 8% (8%) of the commercial tax is levied according to their income.
The people rush to collect the merchant levy, which is generally levied at 5%.
In addition to collecting taxes, it is necessary to re-clear the land, clean up the household registration, and organize the militia.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty often carried out household registration cleaning once every ten years, and the land was cleared, although it was a formality, but these were the norm, and everyone was accustomed to it.
If you are in a peaceful and prosperous era, everyone may oppose it, but now it is a troubled time, and this is also a common practice in the past, so of course everyone will not oppose it.
I have listed more than ten articles with you, except for everyone's doubts about the establishment of the official grain chief (township head), there is nothing else.
Some kindly reminded that although the interests of the official grain chief (township chief) can be seen, and the large bazaar can collect seven or eight hundred taels of silver every year, and the small bazaar can also collect five or six hundred taels, but if the official sends the township chief and the people to collect it, there will inevitably be corruption and bribery, and there will inevitably be such a thing as enriching one's own pockets.
Yang Xuan had expected these for a long time, and he had prepared for them, and now when he heard everyone mention it, he nodded again and again, claiming that he had a clever plan to deal with it.
Hearing this, everyone had nothing left, and they gave up their hands one by one to express their consent.
Seeing that the discussion had been decided, Yang Xuan led everyone to rush to the Dharma field, the platform had been set up, the soldiers were maintaining order, and the people were also rushing over from all directions.
Watching the slaughter of his former companions, the six-room scribes, and the third-class officials were worried, the Ming Dynasty not only had low official salaries, but also lower government officials, and the scribes had no salaries.
Now I see the majestic squad leaders in the past, the scribes who are clever and robberous, and the servants who can be called the head snake of the land in the local area are tied to the pillars one by one, and the sadness in my heart is of course obvious.
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Xuan stood up, held a simple horn, and shouted to everyone.
It is said that it is a simple horn, but it is because this horn is too simple, it is just the prototype of the horn, the bottom is completely open, the mouth is aimed at the horn, and the whole sound is transmitted through the horn, just to play a directional transmission.
Although the horn is very simple, the effect is far stronger than covering the hands to shout, although the force is less, but the sound sounds very rich and spreads very widely.
Yang Xuan is not a saint, not in his previous life, even if he travels through this life, he is not willing to be a saint, this time to punish these officials, in addition to the three fires because of the new officials, in addition to the fact that these people are extremely evil, in addition to hoping that local politics will be reshuffled, in addition to these reasons, the more important thing is that these people are too much.
In a small county, there are more than 400 people in the prison, and if you remove those who take money to redeem them, there should be more than 1,000 households arrested in the county jail.
You must know that the population density in this era was very low, although there were millions of people in Yilong County in the previous life, there were less than 10,000 households in the household account books.
Even if the Daming fish scale book is fake, the number of households is 30,000, so about one out of every ten households is locked by the government.
In this way, it is necessary to find scapegoats no matter what, and these officials who are usually poor and vicious, cunning and robbing, and corrupt and bribery are of course the best scapegoats.
Standing in the middle of the platform, Yang Xuan took a simple microphone to speak, first of all, in the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, bandits have been rampant, people have sold their children and daughters, and the people have no livelihood.
Although the scribes did not have a salary, they relied on helping the people to do things and living with the money of the officials, although the salaries of the officials were low, but the money of the officials lived every year, which was understandable, but these evil officials and officials took advantage of the money, and at least they also made three or four hundred taels of silver a year, and some of them were even more appalling, reaching as much as five or six hundred taels of silver a year, which was almost a member of the imperial court.
Zhengyipin's annual salary is only 300 taels of silver, 1044 quintals of grain, not killing is not enough to reduce the burden of the people, not killing is not enough to calm the people's troubles.
Everyone has already heard of the corruption of the government officials, just as the Confucian foreign history said that Father Li (the honorific title for the government officials in ancient times) can make a thousand taels of silver a year, and the house is built like a palace, and now listening to the public inspection and confirmation of the official government, everyone is still quite angry, and many people are shouting loudly, demanding that these pigs and dogs be killed.
Yang Xuan took the opportunity to announce that he would send grain chiefs (township chiefs) to the market officials.
Hong Wuye Zhu Yuanzhang used to implement the Lijia system, that is, 10 households were one first, and 1 was set up.
10 A is 1 li, and 1 li long.
600 households are set with 1 grain chief.
Most of the grain chiefs are responsible for the big families in the township, which is somewhat equivalent to the modern township chief, but he is not the township chief, which just changed the grain chief system of Hong Wuye to the township chief system.
Merchants are fully levied in accordance with the third-class nine rules, and the public only pays 3-5% of the commercial levy.
All the officials and servants are 5 taels and 5 coins of silver, and their molecular money must also be above board, and they must not be as cunning as in the past, let alone harm the township.
The land will be cleared, the household registration will be cleared, and the Qingzhang Lijia will be completed in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, and the high-grade fields will be given 6 cents of silver, and 1 yuan and 2 cents of silver per ding.
......
When everyone heard this, although many people were quite puzzled, now Tian Fu received 2 yuan and 3 yuan of silver per mu, and Ding Fu received 4 yuan and 5 yuan of silver, and now I heard the county say this, and now the levy is much less than in the past, and now I hear Yang Xuan say this, and they applaud loudly one by one.
Yang Xuan had the intention to deter the small county Xiaoxiao, the execution method was of course different, after verifying his identity, the death row prisoner was pulled to the front pillar and tied up, facing the execution rifle team head-on.
The musketeers of a small flag stood opposite, and at the sound of an order, all of them fired, leaving several bullet holes in the opponent's body, and slowly collapsed and died in front of everyone.
It is even more terrifying to shoot and kill more than a dozen enemies on the battlefield without shooting a single death row prisoner on the execution ground, some soldiers are seriously deformed, some have trembling hands, and some have no time to let go of their guns, so it can be seen how to test the execution musketeers.
And the audience watched everyone one by one is even more frightened, although I have heard of the bird gun in the past, but I don't know its power, today I see it, it can be said to be an eye-opener.
Let's talk about the sound first, like firecrackers, it kept ringing out, shaking the eardrums, and some people who stood close even covered their ears with their hands again and again.
Speaking of power, the soldiers stood thirty paces away and opened fire on the death row prisoner, not only being shot through, blood gushing out of the wounds, but also leaving deep bullet marks on the wooden pillars.
After the death row inmate was shot, the whole person fell apart and immediately fell to the ground, and the ground was covered with blood.
After the execution, several killer squads walked over neatly and aimed at the death row prisoner's chest to mend the knife, so as not to slip through the net.
Although Yang Xuan went to the battlefield several times, the smell of blood in his face still made people feel sick to their stomachs, and pressed his throat hard to avoid the blood rolling, and even more so as not to show his foreign appearance, so that people knew their weakness.
After more than ten death row prisoners were all shot, the executioner Guo Chonglie came to report calmly, Yang Xuan couldn't suppress the tumbling qi and blood, just waved it simply, and then silently climbed on the war horse and returned to the office.
But what is surprising is the expressions of the people around them, everyone seems to be fine, and some of them seem quite excited, as if all this is not happening in reality, but just a horror movie.
Yang Xuan sighed with emotion, due to the different living environments, he rarely saw bloody pictures in his previous life, and it was really difficult to be bloodthirsty and easy to kill like the ancients.
Many traversers delusionally want to rely on their domineering aura to subdue the crowd as soon as they arrive in ancient times, which is actually delusional.
What is stronger than the ancients is not the fighting skills, but the accumulation of hundreds of years of history, but the natural knowledge system of the modern scientific system.
