The Qing Fu Bureau wants to clean up the tax collection of the whole Taiwan's fields, and the household secretary office is related to the tax collection of the county, and he is a very important related figure, Lin Mingsheng thinks that he can sit back and relax. When Chen Liang visited him that day, he also sent Chen Liang out of the gate of his house with a smile all the way. But he never imagined that Liu Xian's heart to break the bottles and cans was so resolute. People like Lin Mingsheng have been blacklisted by everyone before the Qingfu Bureau went down to the county.

Back in the main house, Lin Mingsheng sat down on the big chair. He was nearly fifty years old, with a dark complexion and a blessed figure. Limited to his own identity, Lin Mingsheng and his family are not very gorgeous, but the workmanship of the materials is very exquisite. The furnishings at home are not gorgeous, and the workmanship and wood are the most ordinary. The meat of the bun is not on the pleats, this sentence is exactly what the Lin family said.

Guo Gui came out of the Lin family's inner house, he was a local landowner in Tamsui, and his status in the society was much higher than that of the Lin family. But what most people don't know is that Guo Gui's attitude towards Lin Mingsheng has always been affinity.

"Master Guo, sit! Sit! Lin Mingsheng greeted, and a pair of eyes rolled on Guo Gui's face.

"Master Guo, please say something if you have something."

"Brother Lin, I can't rest assured about one thing, you have to give me an account today." Guo Gui and Lin Mingsheng have a very close relationship, so they asked directly to the point. "This Liu Dashuai has checked the acres of land, and everyone has come to our freshwater. What is the county going to do? ”

"What should I do, what should I do, I will see what Lord Futai means." Lin Mingsheng had long expected Guo Gui to ask this question. If Guo Gui hadn't just arrived, he rushed to Chen Liang to visit, and he would have asked this sentence a long time ago.

Lin Mingsheng told Guo Gui with a calm expression that this matter was really not something he could carry on his shoulders. That's the most powerful province in the world. ordered a thorough survey of the fields, Guo Gui didn't want to vomit out even a 'son', it was impossible.

Not to mention that the number of acres of freshwater should be doubled, it should be increased by four or five percent, which is necessary.

"Imperial grain national tax. I can't get around this hurdle. Lin Mingsheng put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at Guo Gui and said very, very seriously: "Lord Futai wants to pull out the silver from the field, then he must pull it out." Whoever dares to save his face on this, Lord Futai will be able to take his life. ”

There were no strict words, but the seriousness in Lin Mingsheng's voice made Guo Gui's face tighten. He laughed.

Lin Mingsheng prepared manpower in the next few days, intending to respond to the Qing Fu Bureau and start measuring the acres of land. In the past few days, the place where the Qingfu Bureau has settled has completely become the most lively place in Tamsui County. A * visitor, like a marquee, is constantly rotating.

However, what made the entire Tamsui gentry breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Shouxun didn't really move his character. He just took the team prepared by Lin Mingsheng and did it loosely around the county for three days, and he didn't even finish measuring the acres around the county, so he recruited Lin Mingsheng and made a hint that the entire Tamsui County was completely relaxed. He suggested that Lin Mingsheng go to the gentry and big tenants in the county, and let the latter take the initiative to report the number of acres of their own fields. He will relatively abolish the power and status of some large tenants who do not live in name, and issue the land deeds to the small tenants who actually own the land. The number of registered acres in Tamsui County must be increased by more than 50%!

Five achievements are fifty percent, compared to the hidden fields of the entire Tamsui County. The number of acres in the register is really a small number. The basic plate is small, and the increase of fifty percent is still small.

But Zhang Shouxun directly gave the power completely to Lin Mingsheng, and even the magistrate of Tamsui couldn't say anything about this matter. This made the vast majority of the gentry tenants in Tamsui County raise their hearts. What a great opportunity is this? If Lin Mingsheng didn't blackmail him again, could he let people go easily?

There are more than 123,000 acres of registered fields in Tamsui County, which will make up to 190,000 mu, and who will fall on the extra 60,000 acres of fields? If you fall more, or fall less, there is a lot of room for manipulation in the middle. But it's all in Lin Mingsheng's palm. The Lin family has settled in Tamsui for more than 200 years. Deep-rooted, intertwined. Even the county magistrate can't handle it casually. But the power really stepped on their peak at this moment!

……

"A bunch of straw rice buckets. Why didn't the surnamed Zhang die on the ground? handed over the power to Lin Mingsheng's dog thing. I'm not afraid of killing the surnamed Lin! Zhan Boping had a calm face and was angry. Liu Dashuai is not a person! ”

"Sir, you're worried. Lin Mingsheng is a smart person, he should know that our Zhanjia is not a soft persimmon. The old man of the Zhang family only said that it was not less than fifty percent, can he still turn the sky upside down? Zhanfu persuaded and persuaded. He knew that his master and Lin Mingsheng were quite wrong, and the well water between them had always been not in the river. The old man is chattering like this now, because he is afraid that Lin Mingsheng will wield power and take revenge for personal gain!

"Hmph, I don't know this person surnamed Lin yet? The best at fighting people. Zhan Boping had a cold face, showing no signs of easing, "Now that he has leaned on the big tree of Master Zhang, it's terrible." Look, it's going to be over when something happens. With that, he stomped his foot and went back to the house.

Zhan Fu also muttered in his heart. The exhibition family has 3,000 acres of land, and there are only more than 600 acres on the register. And the entire Zhan clan has more than 5,000 acres of land, and the total number of people registered is just over 1,000. If you want Lin Mingsheng to cover it up, it will really cost you a lot of money. Especially his own master and Lin Mingsheng were quite at odds in the past.

Lin Mingsheng sent away three more gentry at this time, and he was very happy in his heart. Thinking about the benefits he will be able to reap, he is afraid that this transaction can top the harvest of the past three or five years.

After all, as a book office, he also has a large number of people under him. In previous years, when taxes were collected in the summer and autumn, even though he could get a lot of benefits from his hands, but after removing the profit sharing for his subordinates, the real benefits he could get were only two or three hundred taels of silver, plus a few hundred loads of grain. In the final analysis, Taiwan's gentry are powerful, and they all have the township party and clan to rely on, and Lin Mingsheng does not dare to live. Otherwise, if there is a small riot in Taiwan in the past five years and a rebellion once in ten years, the Lin family would have given people the opportunity to eradicate it. Therefore, no matter how big Lin Mingsheng's appetite is, he can only get this share. And this income is a little less for Lin Mingsheng, who has been to Tainan Fucheng, Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and learned about the camphor and tea trading in freshwater ports.

Now there happens to be a Liu Dashuai. This Liu Dashuai is an absolute strongman. The means to rectify the camphor industry, Lin Mingsheng saw it in his eyes and obeyed it in his heart. Confiscate firearms, cut off military aid, tough methods, and oppress people. Foreigners can't afford to save face at all in front of him. Just this time, the former Taiwanese soldier Liu Xuan Liu is inferior to his own family. This time, Liu Dashuai's maiden uncle came to Tamsui, and Lin Mingsheng felt that he had a big backer.

Therefore, Lin Mingsheng has received a generous gift in the past few days. Among the gentry tenants who came to the door, which one didn't give him a smile on his face, real money? What they want is to give their families less 'hukou' on their land.

You know, the people in the Qingfu Bureau have been 'leisurely' in the past few days. Lin Mingsheng's minions are scaring people with their teeth and claws. Zhang Shouxun said that it was a gentry tenant, but he did not involve the small people in his words. Those ordinary people whose clans are not prosperous and have no power have become the chickens that Lin Mingsheng scared the monkeys. Although there are very few people in Taiwan.

As mentioned above, the concentration rate of land here in Taiwan is much higher than that in the mainland of the mainland, from large tenants to small tenants and from small tenants to tenants. The number of yeoman farmers is small. It's just that they, as a 'chicken', are enough.

……

"The Lin family has more than 2,000 acres of land, and less than 100 acres are registered. But his family is a special case. The rest ......" Chen Liang took a piece of paper to Zhang Shouxun and pointed to the actual land properties of several gentry tenants listed above and the farmland registered with the government, "Not counting mountain land and forest land, the proportion of farmland in the register is roughly maintained at about one to two percent." Therefore, the ripe fields in Tamsui County should be around one million acres. ”

It is impossible for the Qingfu Bureau to live and investigate in person, and all the information is provided by the Military Intelligence Department. As for how they got it and where they got it, it is not up to Zhang Shouxun, Chen Liang, and Jiao Wenzhan to manage.

Liu Xian relied on the people of the Zhang family very much, and Zhang Shouyan's status in the Qin army was not inferior to Li Ying in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Shouxun entered the Qing Fu Bureau, Zhang Shuping was in the steel plant, and Ding Zhenduo was the chief attendant, all of whom were entrusted with important tasks and trusted. But even in the area of the Military Intelligence Department, the Zhang family and even the family of people recommended by them are not involved in the slightest.

"If you include tea plantations and woodland, the entire freshwater field yield is 1.5 million mu."

Chen Liang and Jiao Wenzhan's words are very irresponsible, their estimates are very simple and rough, and there will definitely be a big difference between them and the actual values in reality. But there are more than a dozen people in the Qingfu Bureau in Tamsui, and no one will be more serious on this point. So the big frame of the acres of fields in Tamsui County was settled.

As for tea plantations and woodlands, the latter has little economic benefit, and the former is very prosperous. Taiwanese tea sells well in Japan and the United States, and the former is very highly regarded for Taiwanese tea until the era that Liu Xian passed through. And in the United States at this time, there is more John. Du De, a glorious figure who has left an indelible mark in the history of the development of Taiwan's tea industry.

There are wild tea trees in Taiwan, but the history of Taiwanese tea is less than 100 years old. Almost all of Taiwan's teas such as frozen oolong come from Fujian. John. The emergence of Dude provided the best window for Taiwan's export of tea, which made Taiwan's tea industry develop significantly, and now it has expanded to an industrial scale of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The name is not as strong as Taiwan's camphor, but in fact, it has surpassed camphor......

However, in terms of the tea industry, it belongs to the Bureau of Commerce! (To be continued) R466
