Since Cheng Jingzhou was planning to take the Du family, how could he allow their family to be exposed lightly?

You must know the land of Feng County, in addition to the lord of Jiahua County, there are also many granges in the royal family of the capital, although there are not as many fields as the lord of Jiahua County, but they are all good fields, and some Zhuangzi have been experienced in Feng County for decades, and the foundation is very deep.

Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou picked the Du family to fight as the first bird, if he can shock the county lord of Jiahua and make him converge and cooperate, then his goal will be achieved.

Of course, if the county lord of Jiahua does not cooperate, Cheng Jingzhou will naturally have a cooking method that does not cooperate.

In short, since Cheng Jingzhou dares to move the Du family, he must have a perfect strategy.

Half a month later, all the Du family's fields had been measured, and a total of 382 acres of land had been concealed, which happened to exceed the Du family's share of tax exemption if these fields were added.

In other words, they deliberately concealed the report just so that they would not pay taxes.

Master Du was born as a jinshi, even if he was dismissed, he also enjoyed the treatment of a jinshi, and there were a lot of tax exemptions in his name.

After Cheng Jingzhou carefully checked Master Du's resume, he sent someone to invite Master Du to the county office to speak.

Master Du has a meritorious reputation, and he doesn't have to kneel when he sees an official, but he still has to bow down.

"Du Mou saw the process of adulthood."

Cheng Jingzhou smiled at the corner of his lips: "Mr. Du, please sit down." Someone invited you to come today, there is something I want to know, if Mr. Du is willing to cooperate, then we will be fine. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then the official can only act in accordance with the law. ”

As soon as Master Du heard the official tone in his words, he knew that the Qingzhang matter had already had a result.

"But please ask Master Cheng to instruct, as long as Du can do it, it must be incumbent."

It's quite righteous and awe-inspiring.

It's a pity, but it's all dirty things!

"Mr. Du, this is the amount of land concealed in your name, and please ask Mr. Du to take a look, is it right?"

Master Du took the booklet handed over by Xie Xiuqi and looked at it, and his face immediately changed.

"How is this possible? My lord, although Du has not personally measured it, he also knows that it will definitely not exceed so much, and it can be two or three hundred acres lighter, this, how can this be nearly two thousand acres more? ”

Cheng Jingzhou smiled: "What Mr. Du said is not bad. The law of my Dazhi Dynasty: The maximum amount of land can reach 3,350 acres, of course, what the official said is the highest. Obviously, Mr. Du's identity does not reach this number. In addition, Mr. Du is a Jinshi who has been dismissed, and according to the law, he does not enjoy this honor, but can only get 60% of the Jinshi preferential exemption field. The official explained it like this, can Mr. Du understand? ”

Master Du froze in place all of a sudden, stunned!

He has always regarded himself as the master of Jinshi, and even the previous county commanders have never been sad with him.

He completely forgot that he was dismissed from office by the imperial court, which is completely different from his initiative not to join the office.

Master Du was able to enter the Jinshi and was an official, so he naturally knew this law and rules, and he forgot how to refute it for a while.

Or rather, even if he could think of this, he was really powerless to refute it.

So, this is tantamount to concealing nearly 2,000 acres of land?

Once he is asked to pay taxes, how much will he have to pay for it?

Master Du felt palpitations all of a sudden, it was all real money!

Thinking about it like this, Master Du felt that his heart hurt even more, and he subconsciously covered his chest.

"Please also ask Lord Cheng to raise your noble hand, this is indeed Du Mou's confusion, but it is not intentional, please also ask Lord Cheng to be accommodating."

I have to say that Master Du's reaction is also fast, after all, his pigtails make people pull it right, and it can't be done if he doesn't bow his head.

"This official has already checked the transfer time and accurate number of acres of your land deeds. Mr. Du should also know that if no one reports it, then you are just concealing the tax declaration, as long as you pay the tax amount and pay the fine, the official can not be blamed for the past. But if someone comes to the government, the official can't sit idly by, what does Mr. Du think? ”

Master Du gritted his teeth, this is a threat! Naked threatened!

But he had no power to parry, so he could only let the other party handle it.

"What Lord Cheng said is extremely true, so I don't know if Lord County can calculate the amount of taxes and fines to be paid?"

Cheng Jingzhou glanced over, and Xie Xiuqi took another booklet.

Looking at the number on it this time, Master Du almost pouted.

"This, that's too much! My Du family really can't come up with such a lot of money, and I ask Master Cheng to forgive me once. ”

Cheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "So Mr. Du means unwilling?" Then the official had to do business. Presumably, Mr. Du is also familiar with the law, and when he knows such a high amount of tax, the official has the right to take people directly. ”

The implication is that if you don't pay for it, then wait to be jailed!

Master Du's face turned white.

As a Jinshi master, he has the best face in his life.

If he is imprisoned, then the dignity of his scholar is completely trampled on the soles of his feet, how can he bear it?

For Master Du, face is more important than anything else.

"Master Cheng rest assured, Du will step up preparations when he goes back." When the words fell, he seemed to feel that his words had no weight, so he stretched out three fingers and said, "Three days!" Please give me a grace period of three days, and Du will pay all the taxes and fines. ”

"Yes."

Master Du breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Cheng, if we really can't make up the tax money, can we use food to offset it?" ”

"Yes, but if it is old grain, the amount of money will have to be halved at the market price, after all, it is not easy to store this old grain."

"What Master Cheng said is that Du has written it down, and he will definitely try his best to make up enough money, if it really doesn't work, he will only have to offset the old grain."

Cheng Jingzhou nodded, and after the conversation, he asked Xie Xiuqi to send him out.

Cheng Jingzhou thought about the current warehouse, and couldn't help but sneer: "If it weren't for you bastards, the county treasury of Feng County wouldn't be empty like this!" ”

Xie Xiuqi came back and said with a look of surprise: "It's still an adult who has a way, this Master Du has been rampant and domineering in Feng County by relying on his identity." It's rare that someone restrained him today, it's really relieving! ”

"It's also his own misconduct, otherwise he wouldn't have let us take the handle. However, he said that during the three-day period, he should be thinking of going to the capital to find the county lord to make decisions for them. ”

Xie Xiuqi was stunned: "It's not to make money?" ”

Cheng Jingzhou said disdainfully: "Uncle thinks that their Du family can't take out this little money?" is full of calculations, but it is only 10,000 taels of silver, with the Du family's behavior of bullying the people and dominating the market over the years, how can they care about 10,000 taels of silver? ”

Xie Xiuqi was stunned, he was the only one who didn't know how to love? (End of chapter)
