The first step in the reform of the tax system is to measure the land, which is the basis and guarantee for the implementation of a whip law, because the most important basis for a whip law to collect taxes is the amount of land.

This is an extremely heavy work, if you only rely on Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong and others, I am afraid that the measurement will not be completed until Lao Liu hangs up.

"Teacher, what are the grain chiefs of the various grain districts doing?" Cheng Zhong asked.

Huating County has been implementing the grain chief system since Hongwu, the grain chief was originally elected from the large households that paid the most grain in the grain area, and later appointed by the yamen.

The duties and powers of the grain chief are to measure the land, compile fish scale atlases and yellow books, persuade peasants to cultivate and produce, report tax evasion of grain households, report disasters and famines, and expose unscrupulous officials and local recalcitrant people.

Measuring the land is one of the responsibilities of the grain chief, but just now Cheng Zhong saw that Hai Rui didn't see anyone else around him except for a "grinder" who was lazy and slippery there, so he asked this question.

"These grain chiefs are secretly playing tricks, either pretending to be sick or avoiding them, which is really hateful. It seems that without them, I would not be able to give the economy. Hai Rui said angrily.

Cheng Zhong sighed slightly in his heart, Hai Rui's personality is too strong, too rigid and easy to break.

The implementation of a whip law is beneficial to most of the people, resulting in the current situation, Cheng Zhong estimates that there are two most likely reasons, one is because the implementation of a whip law weakens the authority of the grain chief and Li Zheng in a certain way, so they are unwilling to implement it, and the people do not understand, and are deceived by Li Zheng and the grain chief, so they are naturally unwilling to respond;

The second is that they were secretly threatened and sabotaged by the deposed officials and servants, because these people have been on errands in the yamen for a long time, although they have now been deposed, but the influence and deterrence are still there, if they come forward to make obstacles, the common people will not dare to disobey. As the saying goes: the county official is not as good as the county management, and there is another saying: the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult, and the common people are still very afraid of these past tolerances.

"Teacher, it is the duty of the grain chief and Li Zheng to measure the land, if they can't come to meet the errand, then they should abdicate and make way for the virtuous! Assigned by the teacher! Cheng Zhong said. These people are watching each other, and if one of them is feigning illness, and Hai Rui acquiesces, then the others will surely follow suit.

A huge county, if only relying on a county governor, will definitely not be able to govern. It was precisely because of this that these officials and servants took a fancy to this, so they asked for their resignations one after another, or even said goodbye without saying goodbye, in order to force Hai Rui to comply!

And Hai Rui is also a stubborn temper, he will never keep all his resignations, and he will accept them, which has caused the dilemma that almost no one is on an errand in the entire county government!

Cheng Zhong called a basin of water and asked Hai Rui to wash his face and hands.

"What if they shouldn't?" Hai Rui asked again.

Cheng Zhong smiled harmlessly and said, "The teacher already has an idea in his heart, so why bother to take the school entrance examination?" ”

Then, Cheng Zhong's face changed and said: "If you don't come after the deadline, no matter what the reason, you will be dismissed on the spot and will not be tolerated!" Now that the errand officers in the county government are gone, it is a godsend opportunity to spit out the old and accept the new, and form a new and powerful team of officials and errands! ”

Cheng Zhong's new and powerful meaning is very obvious, that is, to absolutely obey Hai Jui's orders. Let them go east, they won't go west, let them beat the dogs, they won't catch the chickens.

"Even if it is not said that the original officials and servants of the county government are hiding dirt and dirt, at least they are uneven. If these people go through the daily assessment and selection, it is quite troublesome, and now they take the initiative to resign, which saves the hands and feet of the teacher. ”

Hai Rui laughed and said, "You, you." As a teacher, I thought I was already an optimistic person, but I didn't expect my students to be more optimistic than me! The official resigned, and such a troublesome thing as the emptiness of the county government has become a good thing in your mouth. ”

Cheng Zhong's statement coincides with Hai Rui! Hai Rui has a hard personality, Xu officials coerced him with resignation, Hai Rui did not give an inch, if Cheng Zhong persuaded Hai Rui to compromise and retreat, Hai Rui would definitely not agree, and he would be disappointed in Cheng Zhong.

But Cheng Zhong did not disappoint him, if he wants to do something, he must have a firm belief, although tens of millions of people have the courage to do it. Otherwise, it will inevitably go with the flow and become mediocre.

Obviously, although Cheng Zhong is young, he already has this, and the master and apprentice are also more speculative the more they talk, and even finalize a lot of details.

"Tonight, our master and apprentice will sleep in this room, and I will ask your master and mother to cook some porridge in a while, we have eaten, how about talking at night?" Hai Rui said.

"What the teacher said is in the middle school students' arms!" Cheng Zhong said: "Since the students have been apprenticed, there are not many opportunities to listen to the teachings of the teacher, and on this night, the students still have a lot of things to ask the teacher for. ”

Cheng Zhong did not meet Hai Rui's mother Xie and wife Xu since he apprenticed, so he followed Hai Rui to the back office to meet him.

Hai Jui has a hard personality and is very strict with Hai Jui, and Hai Jui's personality is mostly influenced by his mother. And Xu's age is similar to Hai Rui's, his demeanor is restrained, and he reveals caution everywhere in front of Xie.

They also love Cheng Zhong's cleverness and well-behaved very much.

Early the next morning, the notice of the chief of the grain and the chief of the county government was put out, and at the same time, the notice of recruiting the county officials and the errand servants was also posted. All the people under the jurisdiction of Huating can sign up, once hired, the remuneration is preferential!

This is not a trivial matter, and Hai Rui does not have such permission, but now he can't take care of it so much! Something happened, naturally there are Xu Ge Lao's tall tops!

This is Cheng Zhong's original words, they left Hai Rui in Huating County and ignored it, the errand was done, it was the credit of their layout, the errand was not done well, the blame was borne by Hai Rui, if they didn't even bear such a little responsibility, wouldn't it be too cheap for them?

Of course, the recruitment of servants and servants is only the first step in the reform of the tax code!

There is one more important thing that needs to be resolved, and that is the issue of the remuneration of the servants. Everyone has to eat and support their families, and if you don't pay your salary, who will work with you?

Cheng Zhong didn't think that Hai Rui, a shriveled old man-like character, could have much appeal. On the other hand, if there is really such a person who does not want to sign up, Cheng Zhong is not at ease.

Maybe there are really people who don't care about their dreams, or people who are willing to dedicate themselves and have no self-interest, but Cheng Zhong has always felt that his character is average, and I am afraid that he will not meet a few in this life.

If you want others to follow you with all their hearts, then there is only one way, and that is benefit sharing. For these servants, the remuneration is their shared benefit, so this is very important!

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the organization was streamlined, and there were actually very few people in the county government who could directly receive the imperial court's salary, and many of the servants were not paid, and their remuneration used to be allocated to them by the county magistrate from the food consumption and fire consumption, or they used their positions to forcibly ask for it.

Now that Hai Jui wants to reduce or even cancel food consumption and fire consumption, then the county government will have no money to support these errand workers, and then there will be no one to do the work. If they are not paid and left to "figure out a way" by themselves, I am afraid that these errand servants will be like hungry wolves, and the people will be unbearable, and it is Hai Rui, the magistrate, who will ultimately take the responsibility.

Speaking of which, the most important thing is on this money word.

As the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero, and the master and apprentice wandered in the wing room for a long time, but they still couldn't think of a perfect idea.

Suddenly, Cheng Zhong made up his mind, paused and said, "Teacher, the student has an idea that can solve the problem at hand!" ”
