Fangshan County.

Su Yang has been a little worried recently.

Because he waited for almost half a month, he didn't wait for the yellow book of the yamen.

That dead fat man, he won't really take the money and do nothing, right?

Without the yellow register, there is no way to find the yamen to open the way!

Could it be true that you want to hide in the mountains with your little daughter-in-law?

Su Yang didn't care, he was afraid that Xiaowan wouldn't be able to endure this hardship.

After all, she is the daughter of a big family, and it is not like that to let her follow her to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to endure hardship.

Zhu Wanqiu saw that he frowned, and immediately held Su Yang's hand.

"Xianggong, don't worry!"

"Marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, wherever the husband goes, Xiaowan will go!"

Su Yang smiled when he heard this, and exposed his little daughter-in-law in his arms.

"I'm thinking that your big brother is not like a man of his word."

"Why hasn't this post been delivered until now?"

Zhu Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, and shook her head blankly, she was also very puzzled.

With the ability of his own palace, he can give an order to the Fangshan County Ya casually, and the prime minister will be able to obtain the yellow book of household posts.

But it's been almost half a month, but I haven't waited for the account post.

Then it can only be that someone is an obstacle and does not let the eldest brother give Su Yang a household post.

Who else but his father?

Thinking of this, Zhu Wanqiu also had a bitter face.

But at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Su Yang opened the door, he saw that it was an old man with gray hair.

"Dare to ask my husband who ......"

"You're Su Yang, right? The old man is the head of this East Street, Huang Laosan! ”

The old man spoke kindly, but kept looking at Su Yang.

This kid doesn't look special, how could he alarm the master of the main book to personally handle the yellow book for him?

Could it be that this kid is the illegitimate son of the master bookkeeper?

Huang Laosan secretly observed Su Yang.

As soon as Su Yang heard the word chief, he understood that this was a door-to-door tax.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the Lijia system at the local level, whether it was in the suburbs or in the countryside.

Ten companies as a unit, ten as a first, set up a first-class head; Ten of the first for one mile, set up a mile long.

The term of office of the lieutenant is one year, and the lieutenant in the city is called Fang; In the suburbs, it is called a box.

The functions and powers of the head of the workshop and the head of the chamber are the same as those of the chief, and they are still the same as the old three: serving in turns, urging money and food, and taking care of official affairs.

Among them, the most important task of the governor is to "urge money and food"!

If the imperial court wants to operate, it must also have a large amount of money and grain, so the imperial court attaches great importance to money and grain, and if it is a little late or owed, it may lead to imprisonment.

Therefore, if the governor wants to continue to work for a long time, he must work "urging money and food".

Su Yang was not surprised that Huang Laosan, the head of the workshop, came to the door, and it was indeed time to pay the summer tax.

Although Su Yang's family does not have a field, he must also pay taxes.

Considering that not all peasants made a living from farming, the imperial court stipulated that the scope of land tax was not limited to cultivated land.

Mulberry trees, orchards, fish ponds, woodlands, and even palm trees on Hainan Island are all included in the scope of taxation, which is also a clear proof of the land of kings.

Although Su Yang has no land at home, he has someone!

Ming taxes can be simply divided into three categories: field tax, poll tax and forced labor.

As the name suggests, the poll tax is paid according to the capitation, and as many people as there are, they will pay as many shares.

And conscription is to work as a coolie, which is what the common people are most afraid of, bringing their own dry food to build river embankments, repair roads, and work as errands for post houses.

If you don't have a salary, you have to bring your own dry food, whether you do it or not, and how well you do it, it all depends on the officials' mouths. If you want to go home early, you have to spend money.

As the so-called Hades is easy to provoke, the little ghost is difficult.

Su Yang was ready to pay for something, so he sent this Huang Laosan away first.

But when he was about to dig out the silver, Huang Laosan hurriedly smiled and opened his mouth.

"Su boy, my husband didn't come to collect taxes today."

Su Yang was stunned for a moment, only to see Huang Laosan take out the household post and hand it over.

"This is the account post that the master asked the old man to send over."

"You husband and wife have been registered, and you will be good citizens of Fangshan County in the future!"

"As for this tax, considering that your family has no land and it is difficult to make ends meet, this year's tax will be exempted!"

Hearing this, Su Yang took the household post and looked at Huang Laosan with a smile.

The latter smiled kindly and hurried away.

"Xianggong, this man is still weird!"

The little girl showed her head, looked at Hu Ti and smiled.

"Not only did I personally send the household post, but I also exempted our family from paying taxes this year."

Su Yang shook his head and closed the courtyard door directly.

"It's not that others are good, it's that he misunderstood."

"Huang Laosan mistakenly thought that we had something to do with the master Tang Wenming, so he did this!"

"Ah, it's just a master book!" Zhu Wanqiu was a little surprised.

In the impression of the county lord of Anle, the county master is not even an official.

But now it seems that just a master book can run amok.

For example, this Fangshan County master book Tang Wenming!

Su Yang looked at the account post in his hand, and his eyes flashed with essence.

The magistrate of a county is called "Zhixian", which is the seventh product.

Below the county level, there is a county clerk, a chief bookkeeper, and a canonical history, while the middle and lower-level counties do not have a county clerk, and the main registrar is in charge of affairs such as money and food, household registration, etc., and the canonical history is in charge of arresting bandits and arresting criminals.

Fangshan County is only a small county, so except for the county magistrate who doesn't care about anything, there are only the main books and canonical history.

But the main book and the canon history are not officials, but officials!

The people who really control the life and death of the people in Fangshan County are these little officials.

The ancients said that officials are like big fish and small fish, the people who have finished food are depressed, officials are like tigers, officials are like cats, and they lick people specifically and slightly.

Officials are more interested than officials, they go through the public gate, wander between black and white, understand the key points of the system, and some even control the financial and military power of a county, and set aside the official county dignity sent by the imperial court.

The county order of flowing water, the iron-clad Xu officials!

The sentence "All officials in the world can be killed" contains the blood and tears of many officials and people.

A glimpse of the leaves and knowing the autumn, Fangshan County is full of chaos, and the officials are in charge, but I am afraid that other states and counties in Beiping Prefecture will not be much better.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

Su Yang glanced at the household post in his hand and made up his mind to leave Beiping Mansion.

However, it is not enough to have a household post, there must also be a road guide.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the people need to be guided by the road if they leave their place for 100 miles, otherwise, the soldiers will be punished as deserters, and the people will be punished as smugglers.

The lightest smuggling is 80 rods, and if you don't die after the fight, you will be crippled.

However, it is also a troublesome matter to apply for a "road guide", you must first apply to the local village Lijia, and then submit it to the state and county for review, and then send it to the "road guide" after approval.

The "road guide" should indicate the name, age, address, reason for the event, starting and ending places, and the return period.

The reason why it is so troublesome is that the imperial court deliberately restricts it.

The essence of the so-called "road guide" is a measure taken by the imperial court to restrict the flow of population and tie the population to the land.

There is only one reason, people have run away, the land is barren, so where to collect taxes.

The land at home is still waiting for you to plant, so hurry up and go home and farm!

Although it was troublesome to apply for a road guide, Su Yang had an idea.

Since it was the "master bookkeeper" who forged the yellow book of the household post for his husband and wife, it should not be difficult to go to him to apply for a guide by taking advantage of the power of the lobby brother.

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly smiled.

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

"Jiangnan?" Zhu Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, and a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.

The hazy smoke and rain in Jiangnan, she had only heard of it, and she had never seen it.

"Wherever Xianggong goes, I will go!"

The little girl nodded firmly and hugged Su Yang tightly.

Su Yang smiled knowingly.

"Okay, let's go to Jiangnan!"
