After making a decision on the patrol police departments and the financial departments of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, Wang Bin then looked at Cui Yun of the General Administration of Agriculture and Forestry and asked

"Since this began to be recruited, the official only has a general understanding of the results, but he is a little curious about how this is recruited."

In the late Qing Dynasty, the three eastern provinces, especially when they had not yet advocated immigration from outside the Guan, the land outside the Guanxi was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a lot of land that was not cultivated by many people.

The reason why the population of the area outside the pass is small is to start from the early years of the Qing Dynasty, when due to the war and other reasons caused by the change of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the local economy in the northeast was greatly damaged, and the population loss was serious. In order to restore the economy of Northeast China, the Qing court issued a series of favorable reclamation orders in the early years of Shunzhi, and a large number of Han people were called to go there for a while.

For a time, "the people of Lu Yujin are coming."

However, this situation soon caused panic in the Qing court, fearing that the large number of Han people in the Guannei would harm the interests of the Manchus outside the Guan, destroy the Manchu customs, and especially harm the "land of Longxing".

So from the beginning of the Shunzhi period, until the middle of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court began to build a trench along the Liao River and other places, planting willows on the ditch, or building soil as an embankment, planting willows on the embankment, that is, "wicker side", also called "side wall", and setting up checkpoints in selected places to prohibit people who commit fouls.

After the seventh year of Kangxi, the Qing court officially issued an order to abolish the reclamation and implement the ban policy, the so-called "ban" is to prohibit border people from hunting, collecting ginseng, grazing, and farming over the border wall.

However, this scene reached the 21st year of Guangxu, due to the crushing defeat of the Qing army in the First Sino-Japanese War, the northeast faced unprecedented danger, prompting the Qing court to change its position and issue a series of edicts to recruit the people and the real side, and announced the complete lifting of the ban with practical actions.

In the thirtieth year of Guangxu, the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in the Northeast greatly damaged the interests and development of the imperial court outside the Guan, so the imperial court was forced to open up, the banner and the people were cultivated, and the people were doubled. Enter a new period.

It can be said that at that time, immigration was forbidden outside the customs because the Qing court wanted to leave a way back for itself, but the Qing court foolishly thought that as long as the population of the Han nationality increased, it would be enough to threaten its own rule, so it always prevented the Han people from immigrating outside the customs to suppress the population.

But they didn't know that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were many empires in this world, and they were likely to immigrate to the Northeast, and then threaten the Qing court, so when the Western powers came over, the Qing court finally suddenly realized and decided to open the Northeast.

You must know that the resources of the Northeast can be described as very rich, and all kinds of mineral resources and water resources are relatively rich, such as high-quality iron ore and coal mines, which will lead to the peeping of the great powers.

It was not until the foreign powers began to exploit the resources of the three eastern provinces that the Qing court opened up the northeast in hindsight and strengthened its ability to manage the three eastern provinces.

From last year to now, Cui Yun's Agriculture and Forestry Bureau has been busy with the land reclamation, cultivation, and reclamation, and in this year's time, Cui Yun also handed over a satisfactory case file to Wang Bin, saying that he did not live up to Wang Bin's reuse.

"Back to my lord, in this year's time, my subordinates have only sent to Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places to recruit more than 30 reclamation stations, and the total number of immigrants has not disappointed my lord, almost every month there are a large number of farmers who have no land in the interior to move in with their families, and in some places the entire family has moved in, this year there are as many as 400,000 people moving in, and now the number of this population is still increasing."

Wang Bin nodded after listening to Cui Yun's words, and then said, "What is the current cleanup and use of this land. "There is a lot of land outside the border, and this land annexation must exist, and there are some flag fields that have been abandoned for a long time.

"Back to my lord, my subordinates began to solve this problem after taking over, although the situation of land annexation is serious, but it is limited to a few relatively large landlords, in fact, if you want to say the most land, your lord still belongs to our government, a large amount of land outside this pass, there is a considerable part of the land that belongs to the government, and the subordinates began to sell the land at a low price to the people who immigrated to the people in the customs after integrating this part of the land."

"As for the use of this land, it is all for cultivation, and a series of methods have been developed for the subordinates who use the land in a disorderly manner, and who do not pay taxes and do not pay taxes after the due date.

First: In the case of deliberate tax evasion in the case of a civil deed of non-taxation or a falsification of the sale of a pawn, the local magistrate shall order the township insurance to try to conduct an inspection, and allow the seller and the insider to denounce it, and give the township security and the person who denounced it a reward of 30% at half the price of the confiscation, and submit 70% to the Finance Bureau for public use.

Second, if the state or county rewrites the deed and erodes the tax silver, and there is a situation where the amount of silver contained in the private household management exceeds the amount contained in the stub, the Finance Bureau will appoint a member to carry it to the countryside for investigation and inspection according to the original deed of the stub, and after investigation, the state and county officials can be severely punished and the number of eroded officials will be increased by 20 times.

In this way, in the case of grace and power, who would dare not pay taxes on time. ”

When Cui Yun said this, his expression was more or less domineering.

"Secondly, the subordinates did not ask the adults for the abolition of the old practice that flag land and flag houses were not allowed to be bought and sold by the people, and in view of the drawbacks of "the pawn fields and houses of the flag people, often have no time limit, and the pawns are full of drawbacks, entanglements and lawsuits, and there are a lot of losses", the subordinates will limit the period of pawns to 20 years after rectification, and if they do not redeem after the limit, they will be sold out, so that the pawn tax deed is excessive, and please change the household to manage the business. If the principal does not pay taxes within the time limit, he will be punished according to tax evasion. ”

After listening to Cui Yun's words, Wang Bin thought in his heart: This is not a bad idea, the banner people outside the pass already have a lot of land, but these flag people themselves do not cultivate this land has led to the long-term abandonment of these land, the free sale of the flag people's land can greatly reclaim a batch of land, and make full use of these lands to generate economic benefits.

"And what is the tax status of the land sale of the banner people?" Wang Bin then asked Cui Yun.

"Lord Hui, for the land transactions of the banner people, the subordinates shall collect taxes according to the tax amount according to the deed price, and collect five taels of silver and three cents."

After listening to Cui Yun's words, Wang Bin thought in his heart that this Cui Yun's ability is still good, and it seems that he can add more things to do, just when Wang Bin was thinking like this, he saw his own eye protector Li Rong suddenly run in, just when Wang Bin was still curious about why his eye protector Li Rong ran in, Li Rong ran to Wang Bin's side and whispered a few words.
