Qian Bangxin couldn't stand it, and Shunqing Tongzhi Fan Wenguang, who was sent to various places to check and pay taxes, also shook his head secretly, saying that he couldn't stand it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the implementation of the new policy, because the land of the people was fixed at 6 cents of silver per mu, the official field was only 8 buckets of grain (about 4 buckets of grain), and each adult strong man was not more than 1 yuan and 2 cents of silver (1 cent per month), and the tax deduction could also be used with invoices, and the burden on the people was also reduced a lot.

Considering that in the past few years, natural disasters have been repeated and many people have fled from famine, and all counties and townships have encouraged the people to return to their hometowns and carry out official and people's settlements.

Compared with the scenes of other places being deserted in two days, and the people dragging their wives and children to flee the famine, this made Fan Wenguang feel a lot of emotion.

In addition, the most amazing thing is that the government of officials has been purged, from the office of the scribes in each county to the office of the head of the township and township, and the office of the head of the township and township, the wall is hung with the office of the official, and the details of the fees.

Carefully compare the details of this charge, it has dropped by half compared with the past, and it is much more humane, in the past, it was necessary to pay errand fees, flail fees, board fees and other fees to the government servants and catchers, and there are many names, too many to mention.

Now that it has been cleaned up, it has been much better, and the complaint does not need to pay other fees during the trial of the case, except for the registration fee of 1 yuan of silver that was first charged.

The yamen first conducts the trial, and then charges the losing party 3-5% of the trial fee according to the complexity of the case and the amount of money involved, and does not charge any fee if the amount involved is less than 1 tael of silver.

Although the money and property in the township pass through the hands of the officials and go to the county yamen to do things, there is no need at all, and after the work is done, the officials issue a notice of fees, and the parties directly go to the account office to pay the fees, and the money is not allowed to pass through the hands of the officials.

Every quarter, the magistrate, the county clerk, and the clerk of each room will be issued to everyone as a certain work subsidy and work bonus according to everyone's performance.

Although the annual salary of the scribe is still more than 8 taels of silver, at the end of the year, everyone has an income of more than 50 or 60 taels of silver.

Although the annual salary of the official is only 5 taels and 5 cents and 9 cents, there is also an income of more than 20 or 30 taels of silver in a year, although this is much worse than in the past, and each official has a full amount of forty or fifty taels in the past.

Many of the officials who used to take advantage of the situation and had a bad reputation have been cleared out, and many of them have just been promoted, such as those who were seriously injured on the battlefield and retired, or the people who fought and made meritorious contributions with the loyal army, or the poor talents with a good reputation in the mountains and fields.

In the past, we were not like those servants in the past, who were hereditary from their parents, but came from mountain villages, and they used to work hard for a year and could only mix one food and clothing, but now they are different, not only have a reputation in the township, but also have a lot of income.

In the Ming Dynasty, the annual income of ordinary merchants was only more than 20 taels of silver, and a government servant had an income of 20 or 30 taels of silver a year, which was also considered well-off.

Everyone cherishes this job, and if it is true that they are accused of taking money and robbery, they will be immediately removed from the ranks of officials.

Now all counties and counties in Pengzhou have elected nine to eleven squires to form a council to implement the co-governance of the gentry, and these squires in order to gain a good reputation, some of them even hope to become the head of the township, scribe or something, and are quite enthusiastic about the new policy.

Most of the replacements are loyal and righteous soldiers who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and have been seriously injured, or they are the first and second lieutenant commanders with outstanding work achievements.

With the expansion of the territory of the Loyal and Righteous Army, it was rumored in the society that this township chief and that councilor had a good reputation and did practical things for the people, and were promoted to township heads, scribes, county governors, and county magistrates.

In ancient times, many scholars often took Confucianism as the body, the law as the use, the Huang Lao as the power, and the vertical and horizontal as the change.

Fan Wenguang sometimes felt that the new policy was too aggressive, and sometimes he secretly comforted himself and obeyed the power in a hurry, but now he has to fight a war and calm down the people's grievances, and the implementation of the new policy is also a last resort.

After five or six days like this, today I was completely enraged by an incident.

Gaozu implements the principle of three classes and nine rules to collect taxes from merchants and workers, and its basic idea is to divide merchants into three classes according to the size of the store and the amount of turnover, and divide three small grades under each grade, so divided into nine grades and charged.

After the implementation of the new policy, the government still charges fees according to the principle of three classes and nine rules, but the standard has changed slightly.

All merchants and workers shall be given 1 tael of silver for the lower class, 1 tael of silver for the lower class, 2 taels of silver for the lower class, 3 taels of silver for the lower class, 4 taels of silver for the middle class, 5 taels of silver for the upper class, 8 taels of silver for the upper and lower class, 10 taels of silver for the upper class, and 15 taels of silver for the upper class.

These are no different from the past, but above them, there is also a level, that is, superclass, as long as the annual income exceeds 400 taels of silver, or more than 20 employees, they all belong to the superclass, and 8% of the annual income needs to be paid as a commercial tax.

There are four or five of these super-fine shops and workshops in every county, and these merchants earn a lot of money every year, which is nothing, but the fault is that brothels and casinos are also included, which makes these shops very unhappy.

Chinese people are good at gambling, all over the country, and even more so in the feudal society, Sichuan people who live comfortably, in the county seat, in the countryside, everyone often gets together to gamble and have fun.

The casino is a place where profits are made every day, and as long as the business is good, everyone doesn't mind this tax at all.

After obtaining a super business license, a casino will be hung in the center of the casino with a plaque, and the solicitors will boast about how their casino is, and it is a super casino in the county.

Gamblers are also willing to show, everyone flocked to the casino, so the casino business is much better than in the past, the surrounding casinos see this, have hung out the business license, in order to compete for gamblers.

In addition to the casino, the brothel is even more so, the Chinese people are good at this, and it has never changed, after seeing the casino so prosperous, those brothels also follow the example, hang out their business licenses, let prostitutes solicit customers on the street every day, and say that they are super brothels recognized by the government.

In ancient times, many people who did not do their jobs liked casinos and brothels, and under the spread of these people, in less than a few months, they became synonymous with casinos and brothels in some places.

Many people who are dissatisfied with the New Deal find an excuse to attack the New Deal in this way, after all, many businesses and workshops are well-behaved businessmen and pay great attention to reputation.

Fan Wenguang sat on the Wangjiang Tower, the shopkeeper and the big business and big workshop shopkeeper in the city all had sad faces, as everyone said, although in the past year, although only paid a maximum of 10 taels of silver in the past year, now there are so many more, everyone has a lot of complaints about the new deal.

But everyone didn't dare to directly say that they had paid too much, and now they are connecting the super class with casinos and brothels, and everyone is just taking advantage of the topic.

The big shopkeeper looked sad and said: "My lord, now the war is in chaos, the surrounding counties are calm, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone's business is good, and there is nothing to pay this business endowment."

But now when everyone sees super-class, they intentionally or unintentionally say that casinos, brothels or something are also super-class.

My lord, we have been in business for generations, and what we want in the local area is a good reputation, you see, now we are connected to casinos and brothels, and everyone is psychologically uncomfortable. ”

Fan Wenguang looked quite puzzled, in the past, the collection of taxes was simply life-threatening, and he couldn't imagine that now these merchants actually turned a 180-degree turn, and he couldn't believe his ears, so he hurriedly asked the reason.

In order to make Fan Wenguang believe in himself, the fat shopkeeper pointed to his restaurant, which has three floors, can put more than 20 tables and can accommodate more than 30 tenants, and said proudly: "My lord, my reputation in the county is well-known, and now it is rated as a super merchant.

My lord, to tell you the truth, in the past, not only had to pay business taxes, but also had to pay some government servants, and some ruffians, and in a year, it was far more than that, but now it is paid to the government, and there are invoices, which feels much more down-to-earth. ”

Only at this time did Fan Wenguang react, in the past, he may have paid a little less, but if he wanted to do some government service or something, now he doesn't need it much.

Thinking of this, Fan Wenguang was a little relieved, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, the third-class nine rules are determined by the ancestors, and the adults have added a super class according to everyone's actual situation."

Won't the adults cancel the superclass right away, and everyone will go back to the top?

Besides, you have such abundant financial resources, if you are only superior, it is not in line with your identity at all. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, but they didn't dare to deliberately provoke adults, and in the past two years, there has been no good fruit to eat for those who provoke.

The fat shopkeeper cried and explained: "My lord, we don't mean anything else, we are normal businessmen, and we have never defaulted on government taxes.

Now the people in the society are ridiculing, saying that super class is a place like casinos and brothels.

My lord, we just don't want our reputation to suffer. ”

Back at the official yamen, the more Fan Wenguang thought about it, the more angry he became, the new deal actually made such a joke, so that these serious businessmen were burdened with such a bad reputation, isn't this a waste of honest people?

Fan Wenguang wrote a long letter that night, sent someone to send it to the prefect yamen, so anxious after three days, on the fourth day the prefect yamen came to report, let Fan Wenguang rush to the capital within five days, along with the county magistrates, as well as the newly elected speaker of Yilong County.
