Tang Guangde, the owner of Wangjiang Tower, leaned against the counter, his face full of depression. At this time, there was a makeshift seat in the lobby, and a new storyteller was sitting.

This storyteller is more than forty years old, and he is foaming at the mouth of the most freshly baked story, "but he said that the eunuch Wang Jing was rampant and domineering, and the people and gods were angry, and a wave of resentment rushed to the sky, and moved the heavenly god Jun to cultivate his heart and said that it was too late and that was fast, ahhhhhh

Tang Guangde looked at the storyteller, deeply helpless. You must know that Lu Dao, his Wangjiang Building is taking the high-end route, not to mention the second and third floors, even the lobby on the first floor is not a place for peddlers and pawns.

Therefore, Wangjianglou originally did not have such a storyteller, this is not a street or alley, nor a tea shop and tavern, the picture is an elegant tone.

But now, Wangjianglou is so stubbornly inserted into a storyteller, which is full of disobedience in the eyes of Tang Yuanwai. It's as if when a scholar meets friends with literature, he suddenly breaks into a big man who sings mountain songs

What made Tang Yuanwai most depressed was that he, the master, couldn't drive the storyteller away. Because this storyteller was sent by the Qincha Mansion, Tang Guangde had ten courages, and he didn't dare to drive him away.

I heard that most storytellers inside and outside the city have recently begun to tell the story of the minister's struggle for power, but the specific reason is unknown, and there are also rumors that they have received the benefits of the Qincha Mansion.

Some storytellers even told the story of six years ago, when the young Fang Qincha helped his grandfather, who was then the governor, to reduce taxes for the poor households in Suzhou's official fields.

In the face of this propaganda offensive, the insider Tang Guangde couldn't help but smile bitterly, didn't Lord Qincha know what he said. Are bullet words trending now? is also looking for storyteller advocacy, which is a bit old-fashioned.

Fortunately, the second and third floors of Wangjiang Tower were not greatly affected. Shang Neng barely maintained an elegant pattern, and when Tang Yuanwai was thinking wildly, he heard a commotion outside the door for a while. The noise made the Wangjiang Building not very peaceful, and it worsened the atmosphere.

A clever little guy ran out, looked at it and ran back, and reported to Tang Guangdeyu: "Master of the owner! A notice was posted outside the building, and many people gathered around to see it! ”

Tang Guangde was inexplicable, "Why did you post it to us?" What's the content? If it has nothing to do with us, tear it up, so as not to mess up in front of the door! ”

The little guy sneered, and the old shopkeeper who was settling accounts next to "the villain is illiterate" slapped the abacus and said, "The owner is waiting slowly." I'll check it out! ”

After a while, the old shopkeeper came back from outside and reported to Tang Yuan: "It is a notice from the government office, a total of four articles have been written, and the discussion is very lively." One is to exhort the rich households to repay the arrears of money and grain on behalf of the poor households in the township."

Tang Guangde smiled, "This must still be Fang Qincha's idea, but it was changed to the mouth of the government office." It's just that this persuasion can't persuade you to donate much, and it's good that the whole of Suzhou can add up to tens of thousands of stones. ”

The old shopkeeper replied, "The notice also says that there are poor households who are in arrears of money and food. The government will make unified arrangements and try its best to arrange to rent official land! Anyway, the official fields of Suzhou Mansion account for half of them, and I am not afraid that they will not be able to settle down! ”

Tang Guangde changed color slightly, "If the poor households in the neighborhood are forced to rent official farmland." It is not easy for those wealthy families to find hired farmers to rent and cultivate their own private fields. In contrast, it is more cost-effective to help repay the grain tax first. ”

"Lord Chincha's mind is really amazing." The old shopkeeper said, "Ertiao means that the price of rice in Huguang is cheaper than in Suzhou." You can go to Huguang to buy rice and transport it to the water warehouse, and you can get a return ticket and return to Suzhou to deduct the grain tax. ”

About this article. Tang Guangde had heard it many times when he was in the mansion, and there was nothing unusual. I also heard the old shopkeeper talk about the third point: "This year, we must follow the old practice of the former governor Wang." This year, we will continue to spend evenly! Guantian drops five liters, and Mintian adds two buckets! ”

Tang Yuanwai's face changed again, this is really more intense than the other! Six years ago, Governor Wang implemented an equalization increase, but in the past two years, there has been a bit of a person going to politics, but this time Fang Qincha actually reintroduced the old routine, and the intensity was not worse or even greater than at the beginning!

Guantian is state-owned land, and the tenants are all landless and poor, and the grain tax is heavier; The land was privately owned, all owned by the landlords, and the grain tax was relatively light.

Although the tax quota is an ancestral legal system that cannot be lightly moved, other additional costs can be used as a fuss. Reducing the consumption of official land and increasing the consumption of private land is tantamount to reducing the burden of landless poor households and increasing the burden of landlords, and this will inevitably arouse strong opposition from large households!

Tang Guangde remembered what he did to assist his grandfather six years ago, and it was not surprising. It's just that with his understanding of Lord Chincha, he knows that this is a person who is far-sighted and never fights unprepared battles, and there must be some aftermath under the fierce means.

Sure enough, the old shopkeeper continued to report: "The notice also said that the government is discussing with the school officials, and those who disobey the equalization order and refuse to pay taxes may not be allowed to participate in the hospital examination and the township examination, and will not be given a ticket for the examination, at least for the past three years!" ”

Tang Yuanwai was stunned, Fang Qincha's mind was really unusual, this threat was ruthless enough! Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and large families will inevitably support their children to study, and reading is for fame.

If the family is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, there is no hope that the talent will be promoted to the scholar, it is simply desperate. Compared with the desperation of not being allowed to participate in the imperial examination, it is still bearable to pay more money and food.

Tang Guangde was well-informed, and silently estimated that if the previous three items went well, it was expected that this year would collect six or seven hundred thousand stone taxes and grain more than in previous years, and it would not be a big problem for Fang Daqin to complete the task.

However, just now I heard the old shopkeeper say that there were four, and Tang Guangde became interested in the last one, and took the initiative to ask: "Then what is the fourth one?" ”

The old shopkeeper replied: "The last one is written simply, only saying that in recent years, the fields have changed frequently, and there are many inconsistencies with the existing fish scale atlas, so it is necessary to clean up the hidden fields, so that all households take the initiative to report and pay this year's taxes and grains, and they can still be blamed in the past!" ”

Tang Guangde was taken aback when he heard this, the last one was really the most powerful, but it was also the most difficult one! It's not that there are no officials who want to do this, but most of them make a fuss, but the effect is not easy to say.

After all, clearing up the hidden land is different from soliciting donations and increasing consumption, and it almost touches the fundamental interests of the big landlords.

After being stunned, Tang Guangde asked again: "What should I do with this one?" ”

The old shopkeeper returned to the counter and picked up the abacus again, "The notice only said that the hidden land should be cleared, but it didn't say what to do." ”

Is this what it means to be afraid to do it lightly after all? Tang Yuanwai looked at the crowd watching the notice outside the door, as soon as these four came out, you can imagine the raging discussion in the city and countryside, and Suzhou Mansion seems to be going to stop again (to be continued......
