Fifty years of Kangxi!

"Lord Li should still remember, Kangxi issued an edict in the 50th year, from the 50th to the 52nd year, all the acres of land and silver should be requisitioned, and the arrears over the years will be exempted in three years in all provinces ......of the country."

Li Shi's voice sounded flutteringly, and Li Zhushou's eyes were full of gold stars, and he subconsciously recited silently in his heart: "Zhili, Fengtian, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, in addition to Caoxiang money and grain, Kangxi has been exempted from taxation for 50 years, and the old debts have been exempted from ......taxation for 50 years."

This is the "big event" mentioned by Li Xian, in the 50th year of Kangxi, the "Emperor Shengzuren" exempted the whole country from money and grain and brought arrears, originally Kangxi wanted to do it for the first time in the auspicious year of the 50th year of his reign, but this is obviously unrealistic, so he had to divide the provinces of the country into three parts, and exempted them in three years, and Guangdong was in the first round. This matter is a benevolent government that the relics have been talking about over and over again, and Li Xi remembers it very clearly.

Before, Lai Yipin not only received Kangxi's fifty years of imperial grain, but also gave a formal household license, which was a blatant concealment of grace and exemption, and then Lai Yipin came to Guan Fengsheng to urge him to ask for the arrears that had been exempted, which was even more deceitful.

Relying on this grain payment list stamped with the big seal of Zhixian County, Li Xi was sure that he could die to rely on Yipin, that guy didn't know what stupidity he had made, in the year when he was exempted from the imperial grain, he also issued an official voucher for the collection of imperial grain, which was simply to break his chrysanthemum and invite others to poke it.

Li Xi couldn't deduce the psychology of Lai Yipin's opening of this list, but roughly thinking about it, most of them were bullying them, and these grass people were uninformed and fearless.

But Lai Yipin couldn't have imagined that the "Li Si" who had been reborn was a monster who knew 3,000 years before and 300 years later, and no one in the world could see it......

Li Xi was asking Li Zhushou if he remembered, and Li Zhushou shouted in his heart, how could he not remember!?

Last year, it was through this round of exemption that he divided more than 10,000 taels of positive tax silver with the squires and officials, although the money was not much, but this was a pie that fell out of thin air, and it also made his relationship with the squires and officials a step further, in ordinary times, it is difficult to do twice this amount of silver.

He must also levy this positive tax, otherwise where will his miscellaneous pies and fires come from? If you really want to do what the emperor says, what harvest can he have back then? Rely on him for 45 taels of silver a year and 45 Hulu rice to support relatives, friends, and family members?

Even if he doesn't want to levy it, the Lipai Bookstore and the squires have to let him levy it, otherwise where will their oil and water come from?

Of course, he would not blatantly swallow the silver, and did everything he needed to do, such as asking Master Luo to write a notice of grace and paste it outside the county office, fulfilling the obligation of the benevolent emperor and the grass people. When the officials pushed the squires to collect money and grain, they were also carefully instructed to use temporary lists, and they also had to remember to change their names. He also instructed the squires to loosen their hands a little, so as not to force the grass people too tightly and spoil everyone's good deeds. All in all, it is to let the grass people below not know that this year, the emperor has exempted everyone from the money and food owed by everyone that year and over the years! Even if they knew, they would never leave any tricks for those grass people.

The whole country is doing this, not only in other counties, but the methods are different, the degree is different, some deliberately pretend not to receive the exemption letter, and some press down the text until the money and grain are collected and then announced, that is, the so-called "pressure of the yellow shell". Of course, there are also maverick "clean officials", Li Zhushou remembers Yang Chongdou, the magistrate of Qujiang County who had just been impeached by the governor, he was honest, and he also sent people to parade around the countryside with a notice board, which caused the county squires and officials to hate him to the bone, and he was arrested, and it cannot be said that it had something to do with it. And how much should the grass people under the bottom collect, they were still collected, but they didn't get into his Yang Chongdou's pocket, and it all went into the pockets of the squire.

The imperial court has always been exempted, and it is also enjoyed by the gentry, grass people? them! On the surface, the landlord and tenant are six or four points, but in fact there is a tacit understanding between the whole court, and the landlord does not care about the tenants, and the tenants want to make trouble, which is a big crime.

But this matter of exemption has always been the face of the imperial court, and it doesn't matter if you continue to collect grass people, but it must not be put on the table, let alone leave such a direct handle.

At the moment, this Li Si suddenly threw out a grain payment list that said Kangxi for fifty years and was stamped with the seal of his county, looking at this paper, this chapter, and this ink seal, it was definitely not a fake, and Li Zhushou was suddenly shocked. Not to mention that this list went to Beijing, it was just a glance under the eyes of the dog-headed dog of the governor of Guangdong, Man Pi, and his life was over.

Everyone can cover it well, but you're so stupid, and pulling around according to your own name? Man Pi participated in Yang Chongdou, but was stopped by Yang Chongdou's son Yang Jin, and he was on fire in his heart, he Li Zhushou deceived the emperor's favor and concealed the crime of En's guilt, even if he was Kuanren today, he had to be thrown to Ningguta to fill the army.

Ninguta ...... Confiscation ...... How can this work?

In his sloppy eyes, a fierceness gradually condensed, Li Zhushou stared at the list, as if looking at a life and death judgment, as long as he destroyed this list, there would be nothing...... As for this Li Si, there are a hundred ways to get it! Who cares about grass people who don't even have fame!

Seeing that Li Zhushou's eyes were a little wrong, Li Xian secretly sneered, these officials, the reaction really did not deviate from his expectations at all.

"Master Li, just such a one, it's not a big deal, our whole village in Fengtian Village, more than 100 lists, all like this......"

Li Xian said slowly, Li Zhushou, who was about to pounce, seemed to have been hit in the chest by a big hammer, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he asked with difficulty: "One ...... More than a hundred!? ”

"That's right, this Ding Kou, who is in charge of the platoon, should be more than 100 households."

Li Xi deliberately clicked on the name on the list, Li Zhushou only then understood the name, and his eyes became extremely vicious in that moment, Li Xi knew that it was estimated that Master Li would be reviewing all the scolding words he had learned in his life.

Uh-huh!

Seeing that Li Zhushou was a little out of place, Li Xian was about to continue to push down, when a cough sounded behind the house.

"I ...... I'm in a hurry......"

Li Zhushou grabbed the life-saving straw like a person in the water, and walked out of the back hall in a panic.

Li Xian knew that Li Zhushou was going to discuss with the master, but he was not worried at all, the master basically would not instigate the proprietor to do nothing, they preferred to reconcile.

"The emperor is lenient, as long as this matter is handled properly, there will be no trouble......"

In the other room, Master Luo comforted the proprietor, although he was also in charge of money, food, and punishment, he did not have a palm print, so he still looked leisurely out of the matter.

"Okay? How proper! How did this order get out? It's okay that Li Pai Yipin doesn't know the severity of the matter, but Yang Xia, the secretary of the office, knows that this matter is very powerful, why is he so confused!? ”

Li Zhushou walked around the room, with red eyes and holding his head, recalling vigorously when he gave the county magistrate seal to Yang Xia last year, so that the bookstore could issue these lists.

Seeing that the proprietor was uneasy, Master Luo sighed: "Covering more than a hundred lists, it is only a quarter of an hour's work, Yang Xia is most likely taking advantage of other affairs to open it, and it is estimated that the villagers are ignorant." Now the important thing is not to find out the cause, but how to deal with the aftermath. ”

Li Zhushou gasped, his eyes rolling: "Lai Yipin, is the vicious dog of Zhong Shang's family, and there is a white barbarian behind Zhong Shang's house." Yang Xia, the younger brother of Yang Chun in the canonical history, has been a county official for generations, and his forces are intertwined, I have to give up three points, both of which are not easy to rectify, and on the other side are more than 100 grass people......"

Before the words were finished, the meaning came out, it was easier to rectify more than 100 grass people than to rectify the squires.

Master Luo shook his head slightly, just now he pulled Li Zhushou out with a cough, just to remind him not to use his brain.

"Dong Weng, you still remember the events of Chen Si in Shanxi and Chen Wuxian in Fujian last year.

The topic changed suddenly, Li Zhushou was a little uncomfortable, and stayed for a moment before nodding again and again.

How can you not remember? Chen Si's case is about Chen Si, a native of Shanxi, who fled with more than 100 people and fled to many provinces. He was charged with robbery in Shandong, and the criminal department accepted the case, and the ministry discussed that Chen Si was not guilty. As a result, the emperor spoke, identifying this group of exiles who made a living from performing arts as doves and comparing the matter of the third prince of Zhu, a large number of Shangshu Governors were demoted to four levels and five levels to be retained, Guo Shilong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also lost his official, and all the chief officials in the states and counties through which Chen Siyi passed were demoted and demoted, which was a major event that caused a sensation in the government and the opposition last year.

Afterwards, everyone knew the root of the matter, it turned out that Chen Si confessed that he couldn't survive in many provinces due to the drought in Jinxi and Shaanxi before, and had to go into exile all the way, and the Criminal Department actually reported the case and confessed his confession.

The case of Chen Wuxian in Fujian is even more, the grass people in Fujian robbed rice, endangered the squire, and the admiral Lan Li was ordered to suppress it, killing more than 80 people, and then was reprimanded by Kangxi for slaughtering good people. What is the reason? Isn't it just that Lan Li is forced to write a question book and report victory when the war is going to be successful[1]? On the first inscription, like the document of the Criminal Department of Chen Si's case, it has become an official document of the imperial court, which is the so-called "official statement".

Kangxi is thinking that this year can be the most peaceful year under his rule, this is good, there are actually rebellions, and the official documents of the imperial court have admitted it, isn't this a slap in the face that makes him look at gold stars? Lan Li suddenly became the target of public criticism, and the provincial governor and the magistrate hurriedly poured all the dirty water on Lan Li, and even his evil deeds in Taiwan were revealed. This former platform commander was taken to the capital to be guarded by the flag.

Master Keluo, what do you mean by these two things?

Master Luo said thoroughly: "At this juncture, when it comes to grass people, you have to be cautious. A grass farmer is easy to say, but more than 100 grass people, Dong Weng, how can they be remediated? This is much more difficult than rectifying two people, and if one or two grass people are missed and stabbed outside the county, it will be difficult to end the matter. Besides, in the final analysis, the responsibility is not on Dong Weng, so why bother to take advantage of others? ”

Li Zhushou calmed down, Master Luo asked him not to think about rectifying the grass people, and it was definitely not for him to rectify the other party.

He respectfully asked, "What should I do with what Mr. said?" ”

Master Luo smiled and was confident: "I went to the New Year, and there are many people who know, this kid is just a grass farmer, I guess I learned about it from others, and I want to unload some imperial grain." As long as you promise to waive the money and food that should be exempted, and take back the list, won't the matter be over? ”

Li Zhushou stomped his foot and almost slapped himself, sure enough, the more anxious and chaotic he became, he didn't even think of such a simple disposal!?

But then when I thought of the money and food, my heart was painful, and my words were still hesitant: "The money and grain in this one must also have one or two thousand, this year is a big loss!" ”

Master Luo continued to shake his head, this proprietor is sometimes too shrewd, but sometimes he can't count, "Dong Weng, the edict exempts you from positive taxes, why did you mention the addition of the faction?" ”

Li Zhushou's eyes lit up, and it was only a matter of one or two hundred taels of silver, and his heart suddenly settled down.

[1: The title is the official document submitted to the imperial court by the governors and towns of the provinces, and the ministers of various ministries. Because of this, the title book is where the face of the court is, and what can be said in the recital may not be said in the question book, or it must be said in another way. It is very embarrassing to write about disasters and wars in a grand manner, and the face of the saint is the face of the court, and the face of the court is the biggest politics. No matter how lenient Kangxi is, whoever sweeps his face, he will make it impossible for anyone to live. 】
