Everyone took the investigation report and looked at it.

Mo Jun almost scolded when he saw half of it, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to remember something and swallowed it back, and then continued to look down as if nothing happened.

Wu Yi thought that he had seized the opportunity to show his loyalty, and said angrily:

"How can this be reasonable, where does the Yamen servant who does not pay miscellaneous taxes come from? There is no errand who will assist the officials in doing things, and who will manage the huge Jin'an County......"

"After the arrival of the lord, dozens of miscellaneous items have been exempted, and they are not satisfied, and they even want to exempt the poll tax...... It really doesn't make sense. ”

"This kind of untouchables must be severely punished, otherwise they will not be in awe and gratitude to the lord."

Many people echoed it, although they felt that Wu Yi's words were a bit heavy, but it was simply wishful thinking to exempt all miscellaneous taxes and poll tax.

Only Xue Dayuan and Gan Xian remained silent, Mo Jun had already guessed, and when he saw the two of them, he was even more sure that his guess was okay, and he chose to keep his mouth shut.

Everyone was indignant and talked for a long time, only to find that several bigwigs were silent, and they were a little embarrassed.

"Ahem." Gan Xian knew Wen Yi's plan, and took the initiative to speak out with a dry cough: "I think the people's demands are not unreasonable. ”

"In addition to the regular taxes stipulated by the imperial court, the local yamen can find excuses to raise taxes at will. It's good to meet honest officials, but there are hundreds of miscellaneous taxes when you meet mediocre and greedy people. ”

"The people pay more miscellaneous taxes every year than the regular taxes, forcing them to sell their fields, sell their children, and finally sell themselves. If you can't survive, you can only rebel. ”

"So I think that the imperial court will set the taxes that can be levied to death, and do not give the local yamen the opportunity to set up a name, so that there can be long-term peace and stability."

Wu Yi blurted out: "Absolutely not." ”

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Gan Xian would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Gan's love for the people makes Mou deeply admired, but how does the yamen operate without collecting miscellaneous taxes. ”

"yes, yes." Others chimed in.

Gan Xian replied: "There are two ways to solve it, one is to intercept a part of the regular tax according to the proportion and put it into the yamen treasury. ”

"The second is to set up public land. The public land could be rented to the people for farming, and the land rent was the salary and expenses of the yamen servants. ”

Wu Yi still wanted to argue: "But ......"

Wen Yi interrupted him and said, "That's enough." ”

Wu Yi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed down and retreated to his seat.

Wen Yi's eyes swept around like a knife, and when he saw anyone, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him: "I know why you are so obsessed with miscellaneous taxes." ”

"Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, how can you make money without collecting miscellaneous taxes? When it comes to righteousness, the head is the Tao and the messenger of justice, but in fact, the stomach is full of male thieves and female prostitutes. ”

"Ahem." Xue Dayuan hurriedly coughed a few times to remind him that he had gone too far.

Wen Yi said mercilessly: "Do you think I said too much?" Then take action to slap me in the face and tell me you're not that kind of person. ”

"If anyone thinks that I have wronged him, they can stand up, let's take a good look at the bottom and see what you have done."

"If you have never done anything shady and have never done anything disgraceful, I will kneel down in public to apologize, will you?"

The heads of the people hung lower, and not a single one stood up.

"Don't think you're great if you've read a few books, the easiest thing in the world is to be an official."

"A little bit of sophistication, even if a person who doesn't know a lot of words sits in that position, he won't be worse than you."

"So don't feel that who is irreplaceable, standing at the door and shouting what you want to do can be lined up from the south of the city to the north of the city."

"If anyone thinks I'm harsh and you can't do it, you can tell me, let's get together and disperse, and keep each other decent."

At this point, he deliberately paused for a while, but still no one took the initiative to stand up and leave.

"Since you all think you can keep doing it, follow my rules."

"I am not to blame for what you have done in the past, but if anyone dares to violate my law in the future, don't blame me for not being merciful."

"Did you hear that?"

Everyone stood up in two rows and said respectfully: "Yes, the subordinates should remember the teachings of the Lord." ”

Wen Yi looked a little pale and said, "Sit down." ”

Mo Jun returned to his seat with palpitations, touched his forehead and found that it was full of sweat.

Usually the lord looks kind, even if he is angry, he will not be angry, but he didn't expect to start a fire so terrifying.

The picture of Cai Qun being eaten alive by the people resurfaced in his mind, and his heart jumped 'suddenly'.

He couldn't help but think about how the person who single-handedly led the public trial conference could be a good stubble. In the future, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not commit crimes against him.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, Wen Yi's voice sounded again: "Pass my order, and from today on, Jin'an County will implement a new tax law." ”

"Exempt the poll tax into the mu, abolish all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and punish those who set up clever names to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes."

"Take back the tax-free privileges of officials and magnates, and implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay food and pay errands. As long as you have land, you must pay the land tax in full, regardless of your status. ”

"Sss Everyone is taking a breath of cool air, this is going to turn the sky upside down.

However, they immediately thought that there was no power in a broken place like Jin'an County.

The only people who have tax-free privileges are the county order, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and the others, including Wu Yi, have to pay taxes.

Now there is no county magistrate and county lieutenant in Jin'an County, there is only one county order, but Wu Shuru dares to oppose it? It was useless to borrow ten guts from him.

So everyone fell silent.

At the same time, I also thought in my heart that it seems that this person also wants to be the king and hegemon in this part of Jin'an County, and has no intention of external expansion, otherwise he would not use this method of digging his own grave.

Thinking of this, they breathed a sigh of relief, no ambition is good, everyone is honest and how safe it is to be a strong place.

Only Mo Jun's mood became heavy, the homeless people are the homeless people who have no ambitions, and it seems that he has to find an opportunity to encourage him to go out.

Tax reform is a complicated task, and it cannot be changed with lip service.

How to collect the new tax, how much rent to pay per mu of land, etc., must be systematically considered.

Everyone discussed for a long time before they came up with a unanimous opinion.

Then Wen Yi made a decision, and in the future, he came according to this standard, and immediately posted a notice to tell the people about this matter.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left with mixed feelings.

"Ugh." Looking at the backs of everyone leaving in a hurry, Xue Dayuan sighed heavily.

"Does Mr. Xue have something on his mind?" Gan Xian asked with a smile.

"We just occupied Jin'an County, and when the foundation is not stable, and we need to win people's hearts, I am afraid that the lord's words today will make some people disagree."
