Chapter 705: Happy Events Come (10)
However, in the matter of donating money, he encountered a lot of trouble, fortunately he had a rich father-in-law, and he asked his father-in-law to persuade the major squires, and those squires looked at Ru Jian's face, and all obediently funded the construction of private schools.
It is said that the new official took office with three fires, the first fire was to rectify the county government, the second fire was to set up a private school, and the third fire was to reduce taxes and increase crop yields.
This third fire is a big one, first, second, it may be just a small matter, but about the tax, but it is a matter of the country, does his little parent dare to resist the imperial court?
The officials who heard about this incident felt that the new county order might not know the above policy, so they ran to the county government to persuade him. Qin Yun said: "Lord Yuan, this matter is not trivial, but it is not something that our parents can decide, you must think twice!" ”
In this matter, Yuan Liang thought twice and again, he knew that every year the top would give certain indicators to the officials under his jurisdiction to collect taxes, but the annual output of tenant farmers is low, taxes increase every year, and the government pays taxes unevenly every year, this is the so-called symptomatic but not cure!
Yuan Liang took a deep breath and said, "I understand everything you said, but I think you also understand in your hearts that now that the grain production is low, we have increased taxes every year, so how can those ordinary people live?" I know it's shocking that I'm doing this, but as parents, shouldn't we think more about the people? ”
Qin Yun looked embarrassed and said, "Lord Yuan, although what you said is true, we can't disobey the orders from above!?" ”
Yuan Liang's eyes tightened, and he said in a firm tone: "I'll negotiate this matter!" ”

In the time that followed, Hara Liang withstood tremendous pressure and dealt with the prefect, and made a military order in front of the prefect, although the tax can be reduced or reduced, but the targets issued by the above must be completed. The prefect read that he was an idiot, so he agreed to his military order.
As in the past, the new officials took office to either suffer the people and enrich the squire, and the new officials either increased taxes or asked the people to donate money to repair temples and city walls, but now they have not paid a penny, so they can let those who are still attending private schools reduce or reduce taxes, this move only makes the people applaud!
Therefore, during this time, the streets and alleys were talking, and some people thought that the new county order was a fake trick to fool the ignorant people; Some people also say that he was a good official and his status in the eyes of the people rose infinitely.

The villagers knew the news that Wen Daguan had returned to the village, and hurriedly came out to greet him, you must know that Meiyu Village is a rare official in a hundred years, this is good news for ten miles and eight townships, and it will be better to say it.
As soon as Wen Zizhou's carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, it was surrounded by the villagers who came to greet him.
In the crowd, an uncle said: "Village chief, you are really blessed, your son has been selected for Tanhua and become an official, which makes people so envious!" ”
Village Chief Wen waved his hand, his face overflowing with a proud smile, and said, "Hey, wherever it is, it's all the result of his own efforts!" "His son made him proud.
