Li Erniu walked into the study and saw Xiao Yi frowning, and knew that it was because of the matter of the imperial court Jiatian Fu, this year was the first year, and according to Xiao Yi's decree, the first year was tax-free, which should have been more than enough.

But with the imperial court's Jia Tian Fu, I'm afraid Xiao will also have a blood, and he is at a loss when he thinks of this.

"The lower officer sees the garrison."

Xiao Yi had been thinking about things, and when he heard Li Erniu's voice, he sighed, pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Brother Li is here, take a seat." ”

Li Erniu laughed, just sat down, he always felt that something was wrong, and when he was embarrassed, he asked without raising his head when he saw Xiao Yi.

"Tell me how many."

"This..."

Li Erniu hesitated for a while, took out the document book he carried with him, and opened his mouth and said: "My Ulzhou household has three hundred and twenty stones, six buckets and two liters of summer grain for the first time, and each stone is levied eight yuan of silver, totaling two hundred and ninety-seven twenty-eight yuan, which is a summer tax. ”

"As for the autumn grain, the total amount of 1,112 stone and 6 liters was transported, and each stone was levied 8 yuan of silver, a total of 896 taels and 5 yuan, and cloth and mulberry silk, and 23 taels of silver were levied."

Later, Li Erniu pondered for a while and said: "In the third year of Chongzhen, I have summer tax and autumn grain in Ulzhou, and the silver is 1,2172 yuan. ”

"And increase the field endowment, increase the endowment by 3 percent per mu of land, the territory of Ulzhou is more than 7,600 acres of land, the summer tax is increased by 454 26 yuan, and the autumn grain is increased by 52629 yuan, so calculated, before the first month..."

Li Erniu hesitated, secretly glanced at Xiao Yi, and then said: "It is strange to pay two thousand one hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver, and if you count the silver of the officials of the state city, it is strange to ask for two thousand two hundred and thirty taels of silver." ”

After Li Erniu finished the calculation, he was taken aback, the summer tax and autumn grain to be paid in Ulzhou were not much, and he could completely cope with the past with the last seizure, but the increase of three percent per mu of land was increased.

Almost all of the wasteland in Ulju has been cultivated into acres, which is a huge expense for Ulzhou, and I am afraid it is difficult to afford.

Listening to Li Erniu's words, Xiao Yi only secretly calculated in his heart, there are only more than 4,600 inches of silver left in the current state city, but he has a batch of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in his hands, and he can get a lot of gold and silver if he sells them, but these things can not be moved easily, and he will use these in the future.

If you pay all the summer taxes and autumn grains, there will only be more than 2,000 taels left, which is not enough to use in Ulzhou in January now.

After thinking about it, there are only two ways in front of me, one is to cancel the tax exemption in the first year and let the people bear the tax and silver, but in this way, although they have temporarily overcome the difficulties, they will have endless troubles.

Other than that, there is only one way left.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of the year, the official promised the people that the first year would be tax-free, and I, Xiao Yi, am not the kind of person who does not believe in his words. This year, the summer tax and autumn grain in the state city will be levied in silver, and you will go to the treasury to get it and hand it over to Lord Zhou, the commander of the order, and dozens of taels of silver, which will be issued immediately. ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "This nearly one hundred taels of silver should be enough for those scribes to spend the New Year comfortably." ”

Li Erniu couldn't believe his ears, Xiao Yi really wanted to pay all the taxes and silver?

He persuaded, "My lord, this tax money... It's okay to drag it out. ”

In fact, the year-end tax and silver settlement in various places in the Ming Dynasty is not completely paid, and most of them are delayed again and again, and there are many less than half of them.

It's just that this is the case everywhere, and the officials of Chongzhen and Jingshi are all turning a blind eye.

Xiao Yidao: "Don't drag the mud and water in doing things, what should be paid this year must be paid this year, you don't have to care so much, just take the official Zhou to the warehouse, and pay all the taxes and silver, and it's okay." ”

Li Erniu saw that Xiao Ye had made up his mind, so he had to take the order and leave, but he was anxious in his heart.

……

The Ulzhou Department is guarding the mansion, and since the news of Jiatian Fu came yesterday, Wang Zhan has been restless here.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhen felt that Xiao Yi would not be able to take out this huge amount of money anyway, and it seemed that this year's tax and silver would be in arrears, although there was no fear of his life, but this would also be a stain on his performance.

But he had no choice but to be in a hurry in the mansion.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Youcheng suddenly came back with a smile on his face, as if he had gone out and picked up a treasure.

Wang Zhan hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked, "How much money did you get?" ”

Zhou Youcheng said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, those silver officials have been calculated, and there are two thousand two hundred and thirty-six taels." ”

Wang Zhan couldn't believe his ears, he asked in a trembling voice, "You're not wrong?" Is there really more than two thousand taels? ”

Zhou Youcheng said affirmatively: "That's right, my lord, Xiao Yi actually made up the summer tax and autumn grain together with the increased field endowment, and even our silver is a lot of money." ”

Wang Zhan's eyes widened, and he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

He muttered, "It's strange, it's strange. ”

Zhou Youcheng was also puzzled: "Xia Guan is also thinking, Xiao Yi is afraid that the income from the war a few months ago will be paid in full this time, this is more than two thousand taels, not more than twenty taels, Xiao Yi is not distressed?" ”

Wang Zhan sat down, forced himself to stabilize his mind, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

This Xiao Yijuntian is exempt from taxation, the first year is exempt from taxes, and the tax and silver in the second year are so low that they can't be lower, Wang Zhan has always been unable to understand, in this way, the military and the people are appeased, but how to solve the follow-up, there is no tax and silver collection, where to get the silver taels?

thought that this was a decision made by Xiao Yi for a while, but he didn't think that Xiao Yi was serious.

Not only did he make this decision, but he also took on the taxes and silver that those lowly soldiers and civilians should pay, and it was really hard to figure out what he was thinking, where did Xiao Yi get all this silver?

In my impression, Xiao Yi was originally just a small tun official, and he was just a homeless untouchable man in Liaodong, but why did he have such a big hand, could it be that the small Yong'an Fort was hiding some treasures?

Wang Zhan was happy and at the same time felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was a well-deserved leader in the state city in the past, and the civil servants, generals, soldiers and civilians in the city did not go to the pole to slap him.

Because these people's silver, grain and rice have to rely on themselves to obtain, I didn't think that it was only a year, food and clothing parents have changed, everyone has to rely on Xiao Yi to get silver, do you have to always look at the face of that martial artist in the future?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan's joy just now is gone, people have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries.

……

When the imperial decree first came down, the entire military and civilians of Ulju were taken aback.

The state city is in turmoil, and no one knows if the money and food they have accumulated hard for a year can be kept, do they still have to hand over all their hard-earned income?

They hugged each other in their homes, and closed the door, not wanting to hear the voices they feared.

However, only in the past afternoon and evening, the state city issued a corresponding decree, and the garrison Lord Xiao Yi personally issued an official document.

The field endowment remains unchanged, and the first year is free of grain!

Hearing the news, the whole process boiled, and many people walked out of their homes to see a cart of silver that had just been transported out of the back warehouse and was being transported to the Acropolis.

Among these taxes and silver, he really didn't pay a penny, and it was all borne by Xiao Yiyi, the garrison adult.

Such a garrison was so rare that the people around them wept with joy, and they consciously gave way to a large road for the carriages carrying the tax and silver to pass smoothly.

Then they rushed to the door of the garrison mansion, the gate of the mansion was open, and there were only two Yong'an army spearmen standing in front of the door, but these people did not break in when they arrived at the door.

Instead, they stood respectfully on the entire street, and then they fell to their knees in the dark, and everyone kept bowing to the mansion from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good adult, don't suffer yourself for us!" A woman cried and bowed.

"Thank you, grass people, for your kindness!"

"Everyone must farm the land in a down-to-earth manner and repay the kindness of the garrison!" An old man knelt at the front, his eyes full of tears, and shouted.

"Such a Shangguan, where can I find it!" A middle-aged man also spoke out, and his words were unanimously supported by the people around him.

Someone even said with a vicious face: "My lord expels the thieves for us, and we don't collect taxes and grain, if someone dares to be unfavorable to the adult, even if I bite, I will bite him to death!" ”

"Count me in!" A woman raised her hand and shouted loudly.

The sergeant of the Yong'an Army guarding in front of the door just looked at this scene with an unchanged face, full of pride in his heart, proud of following such a Shangguan!

The kneeling soldiers and civilians blocked the entire street of North Street, shouting Xiao Yi's name.
