In China, it is a very philosophical proverb that the people take food as the sky, and the influence is also very far-reaching, until today, many people say "have you eaten" as soon as they meet, 6 Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu can eat leisurely in the county government, while the people of Jiangyou County are not so good fortune.

Although 6 Haoshan personally came forward, it was to raise donations and take the official land as a mortgage, even the fire consumption and other examples of money were also exempted, but in this period of green and yellow to pay so many taxes, many people still have a sad face, have to tighten their belts, Quartet loans, a bit of foundation, pawn decorations, no foundation, to borrow money or to borrow money, to sell the field and sell the house, or to sell the field and sell the house, there are several families whose daughters are not yet ten years old, in order to raise money, have been allocated in advance, with the "dowry" to pay taxes.

As a result, there was polarization in the hearts of the people, and there was great dissatisfaction with the court and the emperor, saying that they did not care about the people's livelihood, regardless of the life and death of the people, and loved the new county commander from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter what, the taxes that should be paid still have to be paid, in order to suddenly complete the task, in order to show his ability in front of the new county commander, in order to compete for the order of the county, Zhang Yunhui also fought, with the li as a unit, if he does not pay the tax, he will be derelict in his duties, not only to remove the position of the lieutenant chief, but also to order the people in this place to do it, this pressure forced those lieutenant chiefs to fight for their lives, and gritted their teeth one by one to urge the people under their hands to pay taxes.

In any case, the tax money flowed out of the hands of the people little by little, flowed into the hands of the chief and the officials, and finally gathered in the hands of the chief bookkeeper Zhang Yunhui, after the efforts of the chief bookkeeper Zhang Yunhui and the household secretary Zhou Dayuan, as well as the full support of the county order 6 Haoshan, it only took 22 days to collect the tax Shun lì, and then under the escort of the official and the village Yong, the mighty escort to the county government back.

The household department is after the Shangyuan Festival, the order issued on the 23rd of the first month, taking Jiangyou County as an example, is limited to the completion of the tax task in April, and it took five days to prepare for the front, and the official expedition is January 28, that is to say, it is completed one day earlier than the original planned tax collection time of a month, although this tax collection does not have the benefits and filial piety of the past, and there is a lot less gray income, but to complete the task smoothly, Zhang Yunhui and his officials are still quite excited.

Fortunately, the county government has more than 10 shops to support, and the county magistrate has a fair share, and the income does not decrease but increases, and it is loved by the people, so why not.

When the car carrying the silver two had just returned to the county office, the gate of the county government was opened, and 6 Haoshan personally led people out to greet him.

As soon as he saw the county magistrate appear, Zhang Yunhui, the chief bookkeeper, immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The lower official greets your lordship." ”

6 Haoshan hurriedly supported him, and said with a smile while helping: "Master Zhang has worked hard, seeing your smile and footsteps, the official guesses that the task of collecting taxes this time has been completed, right?" ”

"Fortunately, I don't disgrace my mission" Zhang Yunshu had a smile in his eyes, but he quickly said: "This is the credit of the adult, this is only 10,000 taels and has been levied for nearly a month, if there is no adult's clever plan to raise donations and mortgage the official land, I am afraid that the lower officials will not be able to collect it no matter how hard they try, this bit of silver, it can be said that the last bit of the people's family foundation has been scraped clean." ”

6 Haoshan nodded when he heard this, and motioned to the official to remove a box of money and silver from the carriage, and opened it gently, and when he opened it, he saw that the box was full of pieces of broken silver of different sizes, as large as a child's fist, as thin as soybeans, and the fineness was also uneven, some of them were fine snowflake silver, but most of the silver fineness could only be regarded as average, and there were very few complete silver ingots, and there were also a large number of copper coins in the box, which was that the people had no silver in their hands, so they paid with copper coins, which was not, just more than 10,000 taels of silver, but it was enough to contain more than ten large boxes.

At this time, 6 Haoshan only understood why the officials collected the reason for the fire consumption openly, like this kind of silver, it must not be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court did not have so much time and manpower to count with you one by one, these collected broken silver and copper coins must be processed, and the copper coins are exchanged for silver on the spot, and those broken silvers must also be melted and cast into silver ingots, marked with a seal and then escorted up, which will cause loss, and it has become the most important means of making money for the local government. It is okay to report one point when it arrives, and it is also possible to report three or five points.

6 Haoshan looked at the silver and said with some feeling: "This is the real hard-earned money." ”

Zhou Dayuan echoed: "The adults are kind-hearted and love the people like children, and they are really a model for us." ”

"Yes, this time fortunately, there are adults who have come up with advice" Cao Hu wiped his sweat and said: "It is really difficult to collect taxes at this time, at the beginning, those people have begun to resist taxes, I am afraid that something will happen if I continue to collect them, if it is not for the adults to find ways to reduce more than half, I am afraid that the situation is not easy to clean up now, it is really a group of people." ”

Su Fang, the ceremonial secretary on the side, was a little displeased, he was responsible for the responsibility of educating the people, saying that Jiangyou was a lot of people, didn't that imply that he had no way to educate? Wen Fang immediately retorted: "Cao Zhutou's words are wrong, the people of Jiangyou have enough restraint and cooperation, from the tax collection to the present, there has not been a single incident of malicious tax resistance, and other places have long been in trouble, not to mention, take Long'an Mansion as an example, the people of Pingwu County resisted taxes, the officials injured three people, arrested nearly 100 troublemakers and put them in prison, and the people of Zhangming County dug up the roads to prevent the officials from collecting taxes; Shiquan County is even more troublesome, and it is said that they will go to the guard station to borrow troops to suppress it, and I heard that there are many dead and wounded. ”

Seeing that his subordinates were fighting, 6 Haoshan hurriedly said: "Okay, they are all their own people, this time other counties have made a miasma, but our Jiangyou County has completed the task yesterday, and it is very brilliant, and it will definitely be rewarded by the officials, these are the efforts of the county government, and the officials will also reward their merits, don't hurt the harmony of their own families, go, the officials have ordered the kitchen to add vegetables, and I will give you the wind and dust tonight." ”

"Yes, sir." As soon as everyone heard the words of the county magistrate, they hurriedly agreed loudly.

Cao Hu said a little depressedly: "My lord, how good it is to go to the welcome building to set up a few seats, and when you come back, you have to eat in the dining hall, my lord, the emperor is not hungry and sends soldiers." ”

This county government, Cao Hu dared to say this, 6 Haoshan can be said to be in charge of Jiangyou, he can be said to have taken the "first credit", 6 Haoshan is also more generous to him than others on weekdays, sometimes the two of them make jokes to each other or something, and now it can be regarded as enlivening the atmosphere.

6 Haoshan didn't mind when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, is this official a person who is a little family?" Now it is just back from the tax, the life of the people of Jiangyou is not good, as soon as the tax is collected, they will eat and drink, and the unreasonable people still think that our county government has gained a lot of benefits, and how much money is the fish and meat people, it is better to keep a low profile. ”

After speaking, 6 Haoshan added lightly: "The cook is transferred from the Yingbin Building tonight, killing pigs and sheep, and the wine and meat are enough, and this official will not treat you badly." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces were happy, and some of the officials laughed happily, thinking that they could finally have a big meal.

Cao Hu said happily: "It's still an adult, brothers, thank you, first move the tax money into the treasury, and we will have a drunken home tonight." ”

Everyone applauded, shouted in unison "Lord Xie", and moved the collected tax silver into the warehouse, one by one excited with a sense of relief, 6 Haoshan can understand, at the beginning of some people violently resisted taxes, the officials were afraid that they would not be able to collect the tax money and were afraid that the officials would force the people to rebel, as soon as the people rebelled, the small life would not be guaranteed, that is, the tax silver was collected, and in the process of escorting, they were also afraid of robbery, and they were even more afraid of provoking the legendary White Lotus Sect.

"Brother Shan, this county government is going to pay compensation, others collect tax silver, and the fire consumption can be charged more, you are good, you don't collect a cent, I saw those broken silver just now, there are all kinds of things, this consumption is not a small amount." Liu Jinzhu said with some pity.

6 Haoshan didn't speak, Zhou Dayuan on the side heard it, and explained with a smile: "Brother Liu, you don't understand this, this fire consumption is not collected, it is really not collected, and the people can not be kept even if they collect the seed grain, we have collected the taxes of the whole year at a time, and the people do not have to pay taxes to the treasury this year, but the county government has already advanced part of the expenditure, especially the mortgage of the official land, which is shared by the people of the county, and the apportionment has to be calculated with interest. In this way, everything will be made up, and the people also understand in their hearts that they will charge a little more when the time comes, and they will have no opinion, these are ordinary silver, stay out of interest, and the county government will also rely on these to operate, do not take it for nothing, the yamen can do good deeds, but not open a good hall. ”

"Oh, so that's the case" Liu Jinzhu said happily: "That means the benefits that deserve it, although it is less, but there are still some of them, in this way, there is fame and profit, so isn't it fame and fortune?" ”

"Yes, that's it." Zhou Dayuan replied with a smile.

6 Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about this matter later, Secretary Zhou, tomorrow I will tell the silversmith to tighten up, cast the silver ingots, hand over the tax and silver as soon as possible, and finish the matter as soon as possible, don't delay it too long." ”

"Yes, my lord, the villain ordered them to start work tomorrow." Zhou Dayuan hurriedly received the order.

After walking a few more steps, 6 Haoshan suddenly asked, "By the way, what news does the Chen family have, the field is almost sold." ”

Zhou Dayuan knew that the Chen family mentioned by the county magistrate was the family of the former county Cheng Chen Gui, and promised to let them live that day, let them sell their fields, and then escort them to live in other places.

"If you go back to your lordship, it is estimated that it will sell for seventy-seven-eighty-eight."

6 A trace of fierceness flashed in Haoshan's eyes, but he said lightly on his face: "Inform them that they will go with the team escorting the tax silver at that time, and no one will be allowed to stay." ”

"Yes, sir."
