Huang Xiong agreed, and things were naturally much easier!

Although the territory of the entire Fang County is large, the tax revenue is really not much, and all of them add up to less than 10,000 taels, just as Liu Xin calculated, but it still surprised Liu Yuanshan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

No wonder!

It's no wonder that after the Ming Dynasty reached the later stage, the tax revenue would fall to the realm of four million taels a year, and it was all caused by this damn contribution system.

The entire Fang County, even if it is calculated according to the lowest tax standard of the Ming Dynasty, can collect at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, but now, it is pitiful.

Although Liu Yuanshan used up a lot of silver to buy new grain some time ago, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and a few thousand taels of silver were naturally not a problem. He not only helped Huang Xiong pay the taxes of the entire county, but also directly escorted the tax money to Xiangyang Mansion with a big boat.

Things went smoothly, Fang County was the first county to pay the tax and silver in full this year, Lord Huang felt that he had a face, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he naturally happily agreed to some of Liu Yuanshan's "small" requests.

Liu Yuanshan's request was not much, just a notice in the name of the county government.

The notice is very simple, first, explain the reason, and inform the boss of the entire county of the fact that all taxes this year are collected by the Liu family; Second, this year, all ordinary people with less than 100 acres of land in their homes can be exempted from paying taxes, and all taxes will be paid by the Liu family on their behalf.

However, it is difficult to judge whose family's land is more than 100 acres and whose family's land is less than 100 acres.

In order to be able to distinguish these data, the third point was also announced on the notice, that is, the government does not investigate the number of acres of land in each household, and the people of each household should report the number of acres by themselves.

As soon as this notice came out, it immediately caused a huge reaction in the entire county.

First of all, it's the common people.

The common people whose land is less than 100 acres account for more than 95 percent of the population of the entire county, and when they heard that they could reduce or exempt taxes this year, they were all overjoyed, and everyone in the streets and alleys was discussing this matter, and at the same time, all the people were also grateful to Liu Yuanshan.

"What a good man, San Lang of the Liu family, a great good man!"

"Yes! In the future, the Liu family will inevitably have a good reward! ”

"First of all, we bought our people's grain at a high price, and then reduced our people's taxes, this kindness is really bigger than the sky, if it weren't for the Liu family, those god-killing ruffians and bullies don't know how many layers of land in Fang County to scrape this year?"

"Okay......"

"Yes, originally I thought that these coins given by the Liu family should be considered lost, but now it looks like they will definitely be able to exchange for silver at the beginning of spring next year!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I can definitely exchange it for silver!"

……

In the streets and alleys, there are many discussions!

When the people are happy, there must be people who are unhappy!

Among them, the most unhappy should be Chen Chenglu.

"Shaft, nonsense!"

After Chen Chenglu saw the notice issued by the county government, he slapped his palm on the table and said, "Hey, it's messy, it's messy, it's all messy." ”

He didn't say anything messy, but the people below all understood, but they didn't know who he was messing around, was it Lord Huang of the county? Is it the Liu Sanlang of the Liu family?

"Master!"

Chen Chenglu's eldest apprentice, who is also one of his own nephews, came in from outside the door, saluted him respectfully, and asked, "Why is the master so angry?" ”

"Hey!" Chen Chenglu sneered and said, "Someone is fooling around, wanting to snatch food from my Chen Chenglu!" ”

Although his face was cold, he was a little bottomless in his heart, Liu Yuanshan snatched food from him, and he really had no way to deal with it.

Since ancient times, taxes have been a matter of households, and if Liu Yuanshan, a person outside the system, is really taken care of this matter, then there will really be no soup for him Chen Chenglu to drink in the future.

The Chen family's wealth comes from the position of this seemingly inconspicuous household scrivener, and now there is a danger of being robbed of his job, so he is naturally nervous.

But when he saw the apprentice arrive at the study, his heart was a little lighter!

Tax?

Hey, is it that easy to do?

Every year when the tax was collected, the officials in their houses were almost tired of breaking their legs, and they had to look for many ruffians from outside to join the ranks of collecting taxes and grain.

He Chen Chenglu alone has dozens of disciples, and these disciples are obviously apprentices, but they are actually people who help him with taxes.

You Liu Yuanshan is awesome, and I, Chen Chenglu, can't help you, I can't fight you!

But those big landlords who have hundreds of acres, thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of land at home are just like each other?

Chen Chenglu is the most prominent group of people in the entire Fang County, and in the entire Fang County, except for Ye Xiang, the head of the Ye family, who is higher than him, his reputation can definitely be ranked in the top five. His Chen family's assets and power are unmatched by anyone other than the Ye family.

However, even so, every year when he presided over the collection of land rent, he still encountered many households who resisted payment, met all kinds of countless people, and those old rich men who would rather give up their lives than their wealth.

Sometimes, even him Chen Chenglu has a big head!

Now Liu Yuanshan wants to go over his house and collect taxes directly, isn't that making trouble for himself?

Chen Chenglu's face slowly became calm from the previous nervousness, thinking of the various difficulties in taxation, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the power of Liu Yuanshan's family is strong enough, and the common people and those rich people are willing to buy his account, but how do you collect taxes, why do you? What basis do you have?

Don't forget, since the Ming Dynasty Zhang Juzheng Zhang Ge Lao, the fish scale book of the entire Fang County is in the hands of his Chen family!

You still want to collect taxes without a fish scale book, are you crazy?

"Hahaha......"

Thinking of the last layer, Chen Chenglu couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Yuanshan wants to collect taxes, hehe, let's suffer a little first! Isn't it self-deception to reduce or exempt the taxes of the common people and collect those rich people, who would be stupid enough to smoke and report all the land of their own family?

"Master, why are you laughing again?" Chen Chong looked at Chen Chenglu with some doubts.

"Hey, hey!" Chen Chenglu didn't point it out, but said with a smile: "I encountered a funny thing, hehehe." Oh yes! ”

He patted his head, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Chen Chong: "You also saw the notice, this year's tax is collected by the kid of the Liu family, we don't have to be busy, you tell the rest of the brothers, this year, it's free!" ”

"Idle?" Chen Chong was stunned.

"Yes, idle!" Chen Chenglu squinted his eyes and smiled, and waved his hand again: "Didn't Liu Sanlang want to report the number of acres of land?" We can't be too faceless, go back to him and report it to me, well......" pondered for a while, "just report 300 acres!" ”
