0083 Tax system
“…… Wen Langjun killed Ning Huai and Tan Zhen in front of them, those slang leaders were scared, it's a pity that you didn't see that scene. ”
Not only that, but later Wen Langjun also asked all the slang people to be naturalized and not to bully the Han people...... Those slang people were so scared that they didn't even dare to say a word. ”
"Wen Langjun is really amazing, the yamen has not been able to do such a thing as naturalization of slang people for so many years, and he can easily do it."
"That's, he's ......"
The people's favorite topic to discuss after tea and dinner is the topic of the Langhu Army, and the most lively thing recently is the thing that shocks the slang people.
When everyone mentioned this matter, they felt angry, and the waist pole of our Han people finally stood up.
However, at this moment, someone said, "How did I hear that slang people don't have to pay poll tax, just land tax?" And all the exorbitant taxes are not paid. ”
Everyone laughed: "It's not easy, in the past, slang people didn't even have to pay land taxes, and the yamen had to give them a little benefit from time to time." ”
"Wen Langjun can make them pay land tax, it's really amazing."
Seeing that he couldn't make a plan, the man's eyes rolled and he pretended to yearn for it: "It would be nice if we didn't have to pay the poll tax and the exorbitant taxes." ”
Everyone laughed again: "Young man, don't dream, how can the common people not pay taxes these days." ”
"Wen Langjun has collected a lot of taxes since he came, so be content."
"Yes, if it weren't for Wen Langjun, how would he have a good life now."
Hearing the people praise Wen Yi and the Langhu Army like this, that person's heart was secretly happy.
But when they think of their task and become anxious, why don't these people open their minds: "You can't think about it, why can't you be like this?" ”
"If there weren't so many harsh taxes and no poll taxes, what would our days be like."
The crowd was silent at first, and then laughed at him.
"Why do young men always talk in their dreams in the daytime, there has been no such good thing since ancient times."
"Yes, it is a rare Qingming prosperous era to be able to reduce the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes."
"Alas, don't say it, if Wen Langjun is an official, he must be a Qing official, the kind who can make decisions for the people."
"That's for sure, and the people of the Langhu Army are all good people."
When that person saw that the people always didn't take the bait, he had no choice but to leave. He said the same thing in several places, but none of them responded to him.
He could only go back and write a report and give it to his boss.
There were many other people who had the same experience as him, and in the end, these reports were compiled into Wen Yi's hands.
Yes, he threw out all these people to see if he could incite the people to come forward and demand tax reform.
Seeing these reports, he once again sighed that the people were so easily satisfied.
Since you don't dare to stand up and take the initiative to pursue it, then it is up to me to implement top-down reforms.
These reports can also be used, but they just need to be changed.
He drew up another report and asked the people below to follow the outline.
However, he was not in a hurry, and continued to let everyone spread the relevant news.
Although it did not stir up the people after a few days, it did cause a wave of discussion about how good it would be if the exorbitant taxes were abolished.
Although everyone thinks that this is impossible, it does not prevent them from discussing fantasy.
Wen Yi knew that this was already the limit, and it would not have any effect if he continued, so he was ready to find an opportunity to announce the news of the tax reform.
At the regular meeting that day, Wu Yi excitedly reported one thing: "Since the defeat of the three major slang tribal alliances, some Han people hidden in the deep mountains and old forests have begun to show up. ”
"Especially after the news spread that we were screening criminals and pardoning those who were less responsible, more and more people came forward on their own initiative."
"So far, seven hundred and seventeen have defected to us, including two hundred and forty-six scholars."
Wen Yi was surprised and said, "Why are there so many people who have read books?" ”
Mo Jun on the side said: "Ordinary people don't have the courage to leave the county, as long as they are given a stutter, they will not escape, so most of them live near the county seat." ”
"Those who have read the book have arrogance in their hearts and do not want to be bullied by the yamen, and will find a way to run out."
"Especially the scholars who are assigned by the whole family will basically find opportunities to live outside. Although life is a little harder, I can ask for comfort. ”
Wu Yi nodded and said that this was indeed the case.
Wen Yi suddenly realized, no wonder Jin'an County is basically ordinary people, and the so-called big households are also local nouveau riche or derogatory officials.
It turned out that the exiled eunuchs and the people of the family had gone out to live.
This is the case in Wangxiang Village, which was established by Zhao Mo and the two exiled Hanmen, most of the people in their village are literate, and it is estimated that there are many villages like them outside.
While he was happy to see them, he didn't let that stop him from using them.
"Don't be too polite to those who defect to the scholars, and carefully screen the crimes. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes should be killed, and those who are not responsible should be killed, and those who are not responsible should be let go. ”
Mo Jun hesitated and said, "This ...... The governance of Jin'an County needs the assistance of scholars, and if so, it may chill people's hearts. ”
Wen Yi said: "What I need is like-minded readers, if I don't want to cultivate myself from scratch than use those pedantic and conservative people." ”
Mo Jun, Wu Yi and the others couldn't help but bow their heads, this sentence was not said to them.
It seems that some of his thoughts will be put away for the time being, and he will talk about it when he finds out what he thinks.
Only Gan Xian's expression remained unchanged, and he was the one who knew Wen Yi's thoughts the most among these people.
Although he felt that many of them were deviant, he was happy to support Wen Yi and wanted to see what the world would become if he followed his ideas.
Xue Dayuan saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he changed the topic and said: "Even the people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests know about the changes in Jin'an County, and I'm afraid the county guard also knows about it." ”
Wen Yi knew that he was relieving Mo Jun and the others, but there was no need to hold on to the beating if it had been successful, so he followed his words and said:
"After these days of hard work, we have taken control of Jin'an County, and it is time to report the matter. Mr. Xue, have you written all the reports? ”
Xue Dayuan said: "It's been written, and I'll show it to you later." ”
Wen Yi said: "Then tomorrow you will accompany Wu County Ling to the county guard mansion and bring more people over...... Well, let's take a battalion. ”
Everyone has different expressions, bring a battalion of men and horses over, are you visiting the county guard or deterring the county guard.
However, they don't have any opinion on this approach, on the contrary, they feel very cool, and it is good to have a hard waist.
When everyone had nothing to report, Wen Yi took out the investigation report prepared in advance: "This is the public sentiment I asked people to collect, you can take a look and tell me your thoughts." ”
