Chapter 376: Shanxi New Deal I
However, he said that the abolition of the poll tax and the trial implementation of the law of "calculating taxes according to the fields" were issued and the holy decree was widely shaken throughout the four seas.
But not to mention other provinces, Shanxi and Henan provinces, which were the first to be tried according to the purpose, bear the brunt. All of a sudden, the wind was blowing.
According to the land tax instead of the person tax, the abolition of Confucian households, eunuch households, and the restriction of tax exemption privileges for the squire, various measures have been taken, and the local gentry and wealthy families have been hotly discussed.
The gentry and officials colluded, and the new deal was blocked.
Luo Jiacheng and Yan Yushi Yan Sen, who were sent to Shanxi and Henan provinces to inspect, were responsible for supervising the tax reform, and the new policy was implemented from the collection of taxes after the autumn harvest.
The largest land tax reform in the history of the Dayong Dynasty kicked off, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Henan were surging.
......
Luo Jiacheng Luo Yushi, ordered to be poor, the car and horses did not stop, rushed for days, stopped on the road, it took more than half a month, to arrive in Taiyuan.
When the carriage stopped at the Yamen of the Shanxi governor, Luo Jiacheng struggled to get out of the carriage with great difficulty.
The building of the Shanxi governor's yamen is very spectacular. The doors of the mansion were closed. On the door, the vermilion lacquer copper nails, the rings jingle, two stone lions carved by the white king of the Han Dynasty, squatting on both sides of the gate, watching the passers-by in the square. The two lines of guards, standing in line, with swords and swords at their waists, and their eyes are not evil, which is in stark contrast to the white stone lions. On the square, there is an iron flagpole about three feet high. Raise your eyes and watch, on the handsome flag of the wind and hunting, there is a line of big characters: Shanxi Governor's Mansion.
There is probably a discussion going on in the governor's mansion, and it seems that there are quite a few people who have come. Around the square outside the gate, there are countless carriages and horses. The coachmen had nothing to do, so they huddled together in a heap in the east and west, chatting in the sea and the sky. Compared with the solemn and quiet atmosphere in front of the door, this scene is different.
Luo Jiacheng was waiting on the side, and the person he brought with him stepped forward to report, but the person was still far away from the door, so he heard a loud shout, "Stop, don't move!" Any idea what this place is?! ”
Luo Jun was not in a hurry, and waited until the guard came to him, before he took out the famous thorn from his arms and handed it over, and said calmly, "My lord has his own business, please report." ”
The guard took the famous thorn and looked it up and down for a long time, then looked up at Qin Cha's car, and then looked at Luo Jiacheng, and then said, "We, Lord Wen, are discussing with the officials from various counties. I have commanded that I will not see you today. ”
When Luo Jiacheng encountered such a thing, he really couldn't laugh or scold. The guards and servants in front of the governor's yamen are all so bold, no one in their eyes, Luo Jiacheng snorted coldly, and said mockingly, "Okay, okay, I have opened my eyes today, Governor Wen is really beautiful!" Hurry up and report, I am Luo Jiacheng, if I don't see it, I will leave immediately! ”
Luo Jiacheng has been despised and treated slowly by others because of his appearance, and today he saw that the officials in front of the governor's door looked at people with alternative eyes, so he couldn't help but feel angry.
The official saw that this person was really angry, and he panicked a little. Look at his appearance, and then look at this dress, wearing ordinary clothes, there is nothing special about it. Looking at his demeanor again, it seems to be expensive or not, and it seems to be cheap but not cheap. The words are quite elegant, but as soon as they get angry, they are so infiltrating that they have to go in and return.
But when he went, he slowly soared, and when he came back, he trotted all the way. When he came to him, he first made a big bow very quickly, and then he said, "The adult is indeed valuable, and the small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and has offended the adult, please forgive the adult." Our adults sent a message, telling the little ones to come and invite them. Because the yali is deliberating, it is inconvenient for adults to come out, so please forgive me. Adults here, please, please! ”
Luo Jiacheng didn't want to go on a private visit in a hurry, so he walked all the way in casual clothes, and he was angry and annoyed when he had a closed door at the governor's gate. With the messenger into the governor's yamen.
As soon as he was taken by the officials through the Yimen, he saw that the governor Wen Zhonghan had already greeted him with a group of officials. It was followed by a large number of officials, sixty or seventy, and the scale was very large.
It seems that the meeting they are holding today is quite important, and the people are coming together.
"Luo Qin came from afar, and he missed the distance!" Wen Zhonghan was naturally a pleasant greeting. Although Luo Jiacheng is an ordinary imperial historian and has just been promoted, he has the title of Qincha, and it is natural that he, the second-rank governor, came out to greet him.
Seeing this scene, Luo Jiacheng's anger has disappeared by more than half, there are important official duties, and the door control is stricter, which is also a proper duty.
"Wen Zhongcheng, since he has business, he naturally puts official affairs first."
"Okay, please do it!"
"Please!"
After a brief greeting, everyone walked through the lobby and entered the council hall.
Seeing that Governor Wen did not shy away from meeting these people, Luo Jiacheng must have something to do with his errand on this trip, so he did not shirk it.
The reason why I am walking slowly on this road is nothing more than being in the surrounding states and counties, inspecting whether the new policy has been issued and how it is implemented?
Naturally, the decree will reach the local area faster than it can be walked by oneself, and now it is time to pay taxes after the autumn harvest.
In Shanxi, the states and counties through which he traveled, the decrees have been announced in the county seat. Everywhere I passed, there were many discussions and mixed reputations.
But when I went down to the village, I learned that most of the government decrees were not in order, and I didn't know how much about it.
When everyone entered the council hall, they exchanged greetings and introductions, and then they sat down in turn.
The people in the hall included Governor Wen Zhonghan, political envoy Tian Fuguang, Taiyuan prefect Cai Kang, and the magistrate of Mingzhou County, and other sixty or seventy people, who were seated in turn, and the hall was magnificent.
"Today, Luo Qincha has also arrived in Shanxi, and the decree issued by the Holy Decree is tried in Shanxi Province, and what the princes should do now is how to implement the new policy, rather than prevarication. If we only talk about difficulties, how can the new policy be effectively implemented, and how can we not devote ourselves to the king's affairs and share the worries of the king? As the supreme administrator of a province in Shanxi, Wen Zhonghan's words were not only for the officials of the prefectures and counties below, but also for the imperial Shi Luo Jiacheng.
"Lord Zhongcheng, it's not that the lower officials don't follow the decree, but the time for the decree to be issued is still short, and the gentry and wealthy families in the counties below are a little emotional, so they always have to do more work. If you push it too quickly, I am afraid that there will be an incident, which will not be good for my mountain. ”
Huo Zhen, the governor of Pingyang Prefecture, has always been a straightforward and outspoken person, and he does not shy away from the prestige of Qincha.
There was an immediate echo below. Sixty or seventy people were talking, and you can imagine the excitement of the scene.
Wen Zhonghan saw Luo Jiacheng sitting upright, as if he was out of control, so he had to turn his head and cough lightly, "Today, the imperial court supervision has arrived, if you have any difficulties, you might as well talk about it, everyone can brainstorm and always come up with a charter." ”
