When he came to Changping Prefecture to take up his post, Wang Shouren suddenly appeared, and when he left, he did not alarm anyone.

It's just that the sky is slightly bright, take the small bag, and leave Changping Prefecture with his entourage, between heaven and earth, there is only a ray of morning light.

The sound of horses' hooves did not wake anyone's sweet dreams,

It was not until the hour came, and the day was bright, that many people came to the yamen to order the mao, only to find that the governor had left.

When he came to take office, he was alone, only accompanied by a mule, but when he left, he left the results of the law change in Changping Prefecture, the achievements of letting the officials of Changping Prefecture implement sweet potatoes, and Liu Jin, the eunuch who guarded the town.

"Master Wang just left, how did you forget our family!"

A sharp shout came from the Zhizhou Daya, and Liu Jin ordered people to pack their bags while directing people to load the money he had earned in the past few months into the car.

But when he saw that everything was about to be cleaned up, he changed his mind again, "Don't clean up, don't load the car, our family won't leave." ”

“？”

All the helpers looked at this father-in-law a little confused, why didn't they leave.

Liu Jin's head turned around at this time, he couldn't walk, he ran from Beijing to Changping Prefecture to serve as the eunuch of this town, isn't it just that he can complete the test given by Master Xia, and go back to recognize his godfather?

To put it bluntly, this test is nothing more than dirty work.

But when he came over, he didn't earn much money, but he didn't do any dirty work, and he didn't get any credit at all.

Master Wang is a good person, but he is too alone, and he doesn't need his Liu Jin's help at all, and he can do everything alone.

Go back like this, let alone recognize your godfather, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain.

He had to stay.

Nowadays, the sweet potato planting in Changping Prefecture has been set up in the promotion regulations, but it has not yet been promoted.

He could have stayed and helped promote this matter, and if he had done it properly, he would have an explanation when he returned.

"Go, move everything down for our family, and our family won't leave."

————————————

The conquest of the Wa Kingdom was imminent, and at this time, the busiest thing in the entire Ming Dynasty was not the military department, but the household department.

The household department not only had to coordinate the money and grain for this expedition, but also calculate the autumn tax for escorting into Beijing one by one.

The entire household department was in a hurry, and the household department Shangshu Hanwen was even more busy.

Looking at the calculated autumn tax money and grain, Han Wen's face also seemed a lot more relieved, this year's Chengping, the money and grain collected has increased a lot compared with last year.

Now that His Majesty is going to attack the Japanese Kingdom, the problem of money and food is not very tight.

If you don't play, you can save more.

However, whether to fight or not to fight is not something that he, the head of the household, can decide, not to mention that no matter what, it is an objective fact that the Ming soldiers do not know naval warfare, so it is indeed necessary to train troops in order to go to the West in the future, attack the Japanese country, or cross the sea to attack a certain country.

The Wa Kingdom is located on the sea, the distance is relatively close, and it has a deep hatred with the Ming Dynasty, so it is the most suitable choice.

"Han Butang" a household head came in a hurry, "The four counties of Changping Prefecture, the money and grain of the autumn tax have been escorted into Beijing, you can go and take a look." ”

Hearing the three words of Changping Prefecture, Han Wen's heart suddenly changed, Changping Prefecture is the place where the pilot law change is implemented.

"But there's a problem with the autumn tax in Changping Prefecture?"

"It's not that there's a problem, it's . Adults will find out if you go and see. ”

Changping belongs to the north of Zhili, and is in the north, the transportation of tax and silver is through ox carts and horse-drawn carts by land, like Jiangnan and other places are through grain ships to transport waterways.

This time, the escort of Changping Prefecture tax and silver into Beijing is still the county governor of the four counties, as well as a group of officials and helpers, and at this time they are waiting outside the Taicang of the household department.

When Han Wen came out in a hurry, he was shocked,, this is the autumn tax of the four counties of Changping Prefecture?

I saw a large car parked outside, either piled with bulging sacks or stacked with boxes.

And each car has a sign on it, which reads Miyun, Huairou, Changping, Shunyi and other words.

What surprised Han Wen was the size of this team, and at first glance, there were hundreds of these carts transporting money and grain.

In terms of scale alone, it has caught up with the grain transportation team of an ordinary province, and even faintly surpassed.

Seeing this old man in a big red official robe, through the complement of the second grade, the four county officials all guessed that this might be the head of the household department, of course, even if it is not the head of the household department, a random official from the household department is much bigger than their official rank.

One by one, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Xiaguan and others are the county officials of the four counties of Changping Prefecture, and they are ordered by the governor of Changping Prefecture to escort the money and grain of this year's autumn tax, and I hope that the adults will accept it." ”

"This is the money and grain account of Changping Prefecture, and I invite you to look at it."

Han Wen responded, and at this time he had recovered from Fang Cai's emotions, and the bearing of the second-grade master came out again, moved his gaze back, glanced at these small county officials, took the accounts, opened them, didn't look at the accounts in front of him, and went directly to the last page.

On this last page is the total amount of money and food in Changping Prefecture, and when he saw the number one by one, Han Wen's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The tax silver is more than 100,000 taels, although it is also a lot, but it is not too outrageous, and there are a lot of cloth and tea, but they are still within the acceptable range, but this tax grain is inevitably a little too much.

That's 460,000 stones.

You must know that the annual tax grain of the Ming Dynasty is more than 10 million stones, if it is less, for example, last year, the total was less than 6 million stones, which is the sum of the two taxes in summer and autumn.

However, this Changping Prefecture has only four counties, and when it comes to taxes and grains, it is equivalent to the total autumn tax of many political envoys and provinces.

There are even hidden exceeding.

"What was the autumn tax of the four counties of Changping last year?"

"If you go back to your lordship, there was a drought in Changping last year, and thanks to Your Majesty's benevolence, this autumn tax will be exempted."

"And how much was the year before last?"

"The year before last, the land of the four counties of Changping was about 170,000 stones."

"What about this year's summer tax?" Han Wen then asked.

"The summer tax is 110,000 stones."

Autumn is the time of agricultural harvest, and this autumn tax is often much more than the summer tax, and it is not objective enough to compare the summer tax with the autumn tax.

But regardless of the summer tax of 110,000 stones, just the 170,000 stones of the previous year, that is to say, the autumn tax of Changping Prefecture this year has increased by nearly three times compared with the previous year.

With such a big increase, Han Wen knows what the reason is, the change of the way to spread the land into the mu.

No matter how many people's interests are touched by this change, and how many people are cut off their bodies, but now that this pilot place has such remarkable results, I am afraid that the follow-up promotion will be carried out all over the world, and no matter who it is, there will be no way to stop it in the court.

However, this has little to do with him Han Shangshu, he squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to these counties with a smile: "A few people have worked hard from afar, and they will go to the yamen to have a cup of tea and rest." ”

"Come on, bring these counties into the Taicang Yamen, and serve tea and entertain."

Several county officials were simply flattered, and before they could express their gratitude or whatever, Han Shangshu had already left in a hurry with the accounts, such a big happy event, he had to enter the palace to report.

It's all a credit.

Such a remarkable political achievement, His Majesty will be happy when he knows about it.

Although he is already in the position of a high-ranking official such as Shangshu, Han Wen will never let go of any opportunity to brush his face.
