Volume 1 Chapter 368 To Vote or Not to Vote

This five into five is less than two into three, but after Zhao Jin finished speaking, from the first row to the last row, everyone changed color, Cai Juren, who had just sat down, quickly stood up, and actually made a big salute, and said earnestly: "Zhao Gongzi has a great kindness to our Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou are grateful to him, and please Zhao Gongzi must not do this kind of tiger and wolf thing, the quota of these three years, the old man thinks it is very appropriate, what do you think?" ”

Although Cai Zhengqiu is highly respected among the gentry in Xuzhou, he also knows that the authority of his own family is in the song, and he will not rely on the old and sell the old to others, but at this time he is in charge of everyone.

This is the distribution of a year's harvest, who doesn't have tens of thousands of acres of land, take a few more percent, this is a huge amount of money and grain, why should you be an outsider to make decisions for everyone, but under this greenhouse, no one said so, but exchanged glances with each other, and a few of the leaders stood up first and echoed and said: "Cai Lao is reasonable, just do what Zhao Gongzi said"

"Why" There are also a few reckless people who didn't react, as soon as they opened their mouths, they were viciously glared at by the people around them, and the eyes could kill, and they were immediately scared to shut up, and then they were whispered a few words in the ear by the kind people, and then they suddenly realized, and hurriedly jumped up and shouted in a much louder voice than just now: "Just according to what the master said, the small one has no two words." ”

For a while, the whole greenhouse was excited, and everyone agreed with Zhao Jin's proposal, Zhao Jin smiled and looked at a few people around him, and his partners, Ruhui and Zhou Xuezhi, all smiled and nodded.

There are fewer and fewer people on the register, more and more people are not registered, and more and more peasant households have taken refuge in the wealthy families, and there are fewer and fewer people who pay taxes and acres of land. It is impossible to let go of the squeezing of those small families, and they can't scrape much, and the squeezing bankrupt and bankrupt families will not pay taxes the next year.

For such a situation, the Ming government at all levels also has its own means, that is, never collect taxes according to the inventory, but the two sides to negotiate, you have 3,000 acres of land, whether you are registered or not, everyone has to talk about the number of taxes to pay, if the government yamen is strong, then you will pay 2,000 acres, if your own family is strong, then pay a few hundred acres, and no one can be an exception, after all, the six-room secretary and the clerks, plus the errand and others, are all local aborigines, but also a kind of heroic, if you really want to offend each other, it is also an endless trouble.

Xuzhou is different from other places, the Yunshan Temple in this territory occupies too much land, and the temple itself has a tax-free quota, coupled with this monstrous power, he doesn't want to charge a penny here.

However, in order to overcharge the house, in order to save worry and effort, he often contracts this errand to one party Haoqiang, and this Haoqiang comes forward to collect, he talks with everywhere, and collects more with face and even force, and pays the contract limit, and the rest is his own income.

The little official came forward, everyone had to pay, and Haoqiang, who was responsible for the poor grain, came forward, everyone had to pay more, if Zhao came in to do this, who would dare to pay one mu less?

He Weiyuan, Yunshan Temple, Kongjiazhuang, and the thousands of displaced people, were all defeated and destroyed by Zhao Jin, you are not first-class in Xuzhou, and why compete with Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin led people to collect grain and taxes, how can you have room for bargaining, you have 3,000 mu, then you have to pay 3,000 mu, say pay 3000 mu, then pay 3000 mu, you really have 3,000 mu, say you have 4,000 mu, let you pay 60 percent, you have to pay according to this number, do you have the courage not to pay?

If Zhao Jin takes care of the grain difference, I am afraid that Xuzhou will be a place, and the family will have to pay according to the real number, and dare not lose a little.

After all, the imperial court still has to exempt thirty percent of the tax, so calculated, it is still much less than in previous years, everyone still earns, so there is no need to fight against Zhao Jin.

After figuring this out, the awkward and tense atmosphere just now relaxed again, Zhao Jin was not in a hurry, and after waiting for a round of tea in the shed, he said: "Everyone, these are not taken by Zhao alone, if you want to do the reduction of money and food, the Taoist and the governor must take care of them, and there is nothing to send them, how can there be benefits to come down, besides, the household has helped everyone so much, there is no reason to let them lose more than in the past, this also has to share the profits." ”

Hearing these words, the atmosphere became better, it turned out that Zhao Jin had collected so much and had to do things for everyone, and Cai Juren over there occupied it again, and said loudly: "Zhao Gongzi is so righteous, it is really a great fortune for us in Xuzhou, folks, Zhao Ziying protects the territory and the people, maintains one side, and spends a lot on weekdays. ”

After Cai Juren finished speaking, everyone in the seat was quiet for a while, but the silence was very short, and then it became lively again, and everyone got up and said: "That's how it should be"

After all, he didn't dare to play tricks afterwards, but everyone was scolding in their hearts, and it was not Zhao Jin who was scolded, but Cai Juren, who spoke first, thinking that this famous scholar was smart, and he was the first to put forward such flattering proposals, and most of the favors fell on him, and everyone couldn't help but follow.

But this Zhao Jin is really righteous, this money is handed over by him, there will definitely be no deductions and concealments, and there will be no unclear hand tails, and it is very safe.

The atmosphere in the seat became more and more relaxed, and everyone felt that this young man was not mean, and he would definitely not suffer a loss.

Zhao Jin gestured to Zhou Xuezhi on the side, the drum also sounded, the scene was quiet, Zhou Xuezhi took the account book, and said loudly while flipping through it: "Everyone, these places are free of money and food in the first year, and the one that should be borne will be paid by Xu An Commercial Bank, Quli Pu Caijia, Wulizhuang, Yonggu Mountain"

One by one, the names were pronounced, everyone was full of envious expressions, the first year was the most, the first year was free, this was a big bargain, but everyone was not jealous, because these names were still puzzled when they heard one, and they knew that they were all the teams that went to rescue Xuzhou at that time.

After saying this, Chen Huang got up from his seat again and said loudly: "You have discussed for a few days before and have not decided, today Zhao Ziying will say the rules, if you are willing to obey, Zhao Ziying welcomes it, and if you are not willing to comply, Zhao Ziying will not target it, please rest assured that Zhao Ziying's reputation will be said." ”

"Willing to hand over the regimental training to the Zhao battalion, the Zhao battalion will be accepted, all the qualified inputs, and then scattered into various teams, clothing, food, housing and transportation and soldiers are borne by the Zhao battalion, and then how many people are everywhere, how many people will be stationed, guard against thieves, and suppress the civil disorder, if you are not willing to pay, the Zhao battalion will not be involved, but must obey the dispatch of the Zhao battalion, if there is disobedience, it will be regarded as a thief, and it will be immediately exterminated, regardless of light or dark, if it is an enemy with the Zhao battalion, it will be connected with the three clans"

When he said these words, Chen Huang didn't have a smile on his face, and the people below listened carefully, after saying this, Chen Huang sat down, and everyone below didn't care about the rules, and they talked to each other.

"This is to swallow all the capital in everyone's hands."

"It's good to eat, if you really want to be strong, can you stop it?"

"Fortunately, they still have to save face, knives and guns are the root of life, without this, they will become fish on the chopping board, I will not hand it over"

Everyone has different attitudes and tones, but there is only one conclusion, whether you can pay it or not.

Not everyone said that, Tian Ying of Tianjiazhuang stood up first, he could only sit in the middle and back of this seat arrangement, he stood up and said loudly: "Jin Ye, Ding Zhuang of Tianjiazhuang is willing to listen to Jin Ye's arrangement"

"The Lin family's waizi is willing to listen to the arrangement of the master"

It is not surprising that these people stand up, they are all from Lianzhuang Lianbao, they are nominally Tianjiazhuang and Lin Jiaweizi, and they are now Hejiazhuang.

After these people scrambled to finish speaking, the scene quieted down a little, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all secretly looked at the expressions of Zhao Jin and a few people above, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no change, and at this time, listening to a cough in front of them, Cai Juren stood up again, and said loudly: "Qulipu is here, and I am willing to obey Zhao Gongzi's arrangement." ”

Everyone was shocked again, this Cai Juren didn't call Jin Ye Zhao Gongzi, but this performance was equivalent to kowtowing to Zhao Jin everywhere, and it seemed that he didn't leave himself a little room for autonomy, so if he tossed it like this, I'm afraid no one would call him Mrs. Cai.

"Qijia Village, Qijia Village is willing to listen to Zhao Gongzi's arrangement" Someone suddenly shouted in the back row of the seat, everyone turned their heads to look over, but it was Qi Erkui who stood up with a red face and a thick neck, and he was too anxious to say and breathed, and he couldn't stop coughing there.

Everyone talked about this just now, Qi Erkui listened drowsily, until he didn't know who woke up Lu Dao just now, and when he heard Cai Juren's words, he didn't react at that time, and asked the people on the side in a daze, and when he heard this, he jumped up directly.

Don't look at Qi Erkui sitting in the back row, that's because the status related to private salt is the lowest, his strength is very clear, dozens of young and strong men can be pulled out at any time, if you really want to fight, the two hundred fighting men with knives and guns can also get together, and unlike everyone's crops, there are a lot of blood, and there are a lot of real knives and guns, and they can even open their bows and arrows, and the real fire is together, and four or five hundred croppers may not be their opponents.

And Qijia Village is far away from Hejiazhuang, and what he eats is the business on the salt road, and he has enough favors with Zhao Jin, no matter how you look at it, it is better to be a local tyrant behind closed doors than to be attached to Zhao Jin, but this one is so anxious to defect.
