Chapter 72: Huang Xiong's promotion
Liu Yuanshan was not in a hurry to collect the autumn levy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After all, he is not short of money, even if all the autumn taxes in the entire county are collected, it is just a few dollars, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he didn't think of spending a lot of effort to collect it.
Of course, there is one task that is much more important than collecting taxes, and that is to count all the land in the county.
It is not to go down to the grassroots level to count one by one, but to let the people report it themselves.
Not only should the family land of more than 100 acres be reported, but even those with only a few acres of thin land at home should also be registered and reported.
Liu Yuanshan specially set up a temporary office in the county seat, selected a few good past arithmetic students from his family's descendants, and was personally led by Song Yingxing, a master of science and technology, to start the busy and troublesome registration work.
First of all, the person who came reported his name, location, what the names of several members of the family, how many fields there were, and where they were located, which was very detailed and clear.
Then, the registration staff took out a very eye-catching and strange thick paper with a form printed on it, and filled in the basic information one by one according to the content on it, and the name of this form is: Fang County Peasant Land Information Registration Form.
The staff were very careful and registered one by one.
On the first day of construction, Liu Yuanshan also ran over to take a look, in case the staff below didn't know how to work.
"What's your name?" When Liu Yuanshan went, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was looking at an old man, asking carefully and patiently, and then making notes.
"Back to the little master, the old man is cheap!"
"Where do you live?"
"Dragon and Tiger Town, Lu Wangzhuang!"
ā¦ā¦
Seeing this situation, Liu Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction, and was about to go back, but saw a person dressed as a subordinate arrogantly holding the form and saying to the staff: "You are mistaken, this is not for our master!" ā
"What?" The staff saw his arrogant appearance, and had to ask patiently.
Before working, Liu Yuanshan specially trained them, repeatedly emphasizing the service nature of the work, so that they could cheer up, whether it was for those high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they must be patient and enthusiastic, otherwise, open the door wall of Liu's house.
Now that the boss is on the side, the staff is naturally very patient.
"It's not for us, you're mistaken, get me another one!"
"Who is this?"
Whispers began to be heard.
"Liu Ergou is the youngest son of the housekeeper of the Yuan family on East Street!"
"Oh, no wonder!"
The Yuan family is naturally the scribe Yuan Sishan's family.
As soon as he heard the name of this guy, the few people below who were talking in a low voice stopped talking, although the Yuan family was not as good as the Chen family, but it was also terrible, if he offended this dog's leg and was bitten by him again, it would be full of injuries.
"Look, what are you doing?" Liu Ergou squinted, pointed to the form, and said with a full spirit: "Farmer land information registration form, farmer registration form, this is for farmers, is our Yuan family a farmer?" My master Yuan is an official, you can change it for me! ā
When Liu Yuanshan heard his words, he suddenly had a black line in his head, and he felt like he was about to faint.
Nima, if you can pull your identity to the form, I'm really convinced of you.
"Yes, yes!" The staff was a young man, and he was forced to speak by Liu Ergou, and said in a slur manner: "We only have this kind of form, which is the farmer's." ā
"Then you can change another one for me, well, just change it, it's good to change the official land information!" Liu Ergou will come up with an idea.
"This, it's not in accordance with the rules!"
"Then I don't care, anyway, our master is not a farmer, I can't fill in this form!" Liu Ergou angrily slapped the form in his hand on the table, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"Roll if you don't fill it in!" Liu Yuanshan really couldn't stand him anymore: "In Lao Tzu's eyes, all people are ordinary people, whether they are scribes or farmers, there is no second form!" ā
"Who are you?" Liu Ergou obviously didn't know Liu Yuanshan: "To whom do you call Lao Tzu?" Do you believe it, Master Dog, I cut you? ā
"I'm your uncle!" Liu Yuanshan raised his foot and flew up, kicked the goods out of the door, and said, "Get out!" ā
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
ā¦ā¦
All the work that was busy got up and saluted, and Song Yingxing also stood up and saluted Liu Yuanshan.
Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's be busy, if you encounter this kind of dog barking like a dog in the future, call me out directly, you guys are busy!" ā
Everyone returned to their respective places and handled the registration information.
Some write, some ask and fill out forms, some are responsible for stamping and registering, and some are responsible for sorting and filing, and they are all very busy.
The chapter is not the big seal in the county, the big seal of the county lord was robbed by the "Tongshan Knight" last year, and it has not been recovered, Liu Yuanshan naturally has no way to get it from Huang Xiong, so he can only make one privately, and it is brass.
It stands to reason that only the big seal of the government can be used externally, and private production is a crime, but if there is a big chaos today, and Huang Xiong in the county does not ask about the world, Liu Xin will basically become his own family and will not be embarrassed, so Liu Yuanshan naturally does not care about this.
It's just that when this copper seal was made, under the special instruction of Liu Yuanshan, a terrifying platform was engraved on it, which was: a special seal for land ownership registration.
This is a trick made by Liu Yuanshan, but how many people can see the Tao and wake up, it depends on their ability, otherwise, they will die a miserable death.
"Press the mudra!"
The last procedure is to press the fingerprint, as long as the farmer himself confirms the land, he must press his own handprint on the night form, which is considered to be confirmation.
This, of course, will also be the legal basis in the future.
Although there is no tax, the registration is also extremely cumbersome, and it is already a month after the registration of all the land information in the entire Fang County is completed.
At this time, the weather is already cold, and the dripping water is ice.
Naturally, after the land registration is completed, the autumn tax will be paid.
Liu Yuanshan did not run around like a rat like Chen Chenglu, knocking on the door one by one to collect it, but relying on his prestige and the kindness he had exerted on the people before, he asked them to take the initiative to come and pay taxes.
Very simply, families with less than 100 acres do not have to pay taxes, and the common people do not have to work hard and lose money. As for those whose fields are higher than 100 acres, they are all landlords, and the landlords naturally did not receive any favors from Liu Yuanshan, but they knew his prestige and did not dare not hand over in person.
So, after another month, the tax revenue of the entire Fang County was collected.
The only thing that gave Liu Yuanshan a headache was that bandits broke out in several remote towns and villages in the county, and many people's taxes and silver were robbed by that wave of bandits.
He wanted to kill it, but now that Xiongguan was about to be completed, he decided to wait, and when the gate of Fang County was closed, it would not be too late to clean up the dogs inside.
With the arrival of the winter moon, the weather is getting colder and colder, and another good news has reached Liu Yuanshan's ears: Huang Xiong has been promoted!
