Chapter 315: A new official takes office

There are more than 1,400 counties in Great Xia, and if each county can collect 200,000 taels of silver, it will be more than 280 million taels of silver. Well, that's more than 280,000 taels.

Of course, Ping'an County is a large county, with more than 1,400 counties in Daxia, most of which are small or medium counties.

And those poor small counties can't even collect 10,000 taels of tax silver.

However, the tax revenue of the entire Great Xia was only seven or eight million taels of silver, which was inevitably less.

During the Ming Dynasty, the tax revenue during the Zhengde period was only 600 to 8 million taels, and during the Jiajing period, the north and the south were attacked at the same time, and the tax revenue was even lower, and the annual tax revenue would not exceed 4 million taels.

Now the tax revenue of Great Xia has also reached a very dangerous point. Land annexation, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, caused the tax revenue of Great Xia to decrease year by year.

In the long run, the state's finances will inevitably be unable to support it.

It's no wonder that Chongkandi is bent on driving change.

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask Jia Yun, "Brother Yun, how did you get the approximate number of acres of land for the four major families?" ”

"You probably can't measure the time of these ten days, right?"

Just with the few people brought by Jia Yun, even if you add the children of the Mo family, the number is seriously insufficient.

You know, this is still on someone else's territory, and it is impossible for them to measure the land with swagger.

Hearing Jia Huan's inquiry, Jia Yun smiled and said, "Third uncle, I didn't measure the number of acres of land. Instead, they invited the four major families to collect rent, and when they drank too much, they all confided out. ”

High!

How much land the four families have, in addition to measuring it personally, is to get the specific number of acres from their own population.

Jia Yun found another way, and actually got the numbers from those rent collectors.

Jia Huan knew that this process was definitely not as frivolous as Jia Yun said.

It is not a simple matter to go from approaching these people, to feasting them, to gaining their trust, and to getting a specific number of acres from their mouths.

asked Jia Yun to do this, and he really found the right person.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but say, "Brother Yun, you have done a good job in this matter." ”

"Next, you secretly investigate, the four major families in Ping'an County, those are resolutely opposed to the new policy and cannot be co-opted. Those are two-sided and can be co-opted. ”

Jia Yun responded: "Yes, third uncle." ”

……

In the imperial city, in the imperial study, Emperor Chongkang was furious.

He looked at Dai Quan and sneered: "Dai Quan, you are very good. I put you in charge of intelligence, and that's what you did? ”

"My courtiers were attacked by the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom outside the imperial city! If it weren't for the fact that there were two guards with strong martial arts skills around him, his body would have been cold at this time! ”

"Is it that one day the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom will sneak into the palace to assassinate me, and you don't know about it? What do I want you for? ”

Dai Quan knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, this is all a dereliction of duty by a minion!" Please punish Your Majesty! The old slave begged His Majesty to give the old slave half a month, and the old slave would definitely find out how these soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom entered my Great Xia. ”

Chongkang Di Senran said: "I give you ten days, if you can't find it, what's the use of me raising waste like you?" You're going to guard the Emperor's Mausoleum in the future, right? ”

Generally, eunuchs who have fallen out of favor, or eunuchs who are about to die of old age, are destined to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Once you go to the imperial tomb, it means that you will die there of old age.

But as long as the eunuch has a little pursuit, who wants to go to an empty, lonely and cold place like the imperial tomb to eat and wait for death?

Dai Quan shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, in ten days, the old minister will definitely find out the details of these Dajin soldiers." ”

Emperor Chongkang snorted: "There must be someone from the military to help conceal it, otherwise, how could these golden dogs enter my Great Xia territory so easily?" Dai Quan, I want you to find out who is behind it. ”

"In addition, over there in Ping'an County, send another five hundred forbidden troops to Xia Qing, and I want to ensure that Ping'an County is foolproof."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Ping'an County Inspection Department already had 500 soldiers, and now if it sends another 500 people, it will be 1,000 people.

A thousand soldiers and horses, and a forbidden army, is enough to uproot the four major families in Ping'an County.

It seems that His Majesty is bound to win the matter of promoting reform in Ping'an County, and there is no room for error.

During this time, in addition to tracking down the news of the Jin soldiers who entered Great Xia, the focus should be on the movements in Ping'an County.

……

On the second day, Jia Huan got up early in the morning, practiced boxing and swordsmanship, washed up, and then began to eat breakfast.

Since he won the top prize, he has been a little slack in the practice of fists, kicks and swordsmanship.

And since he was assassinated yesterday, he has picked them all up.

It is important to have a strong martial arts guard by your side, but your own strength is the most important guarantee.

After eating, Jia Huan checked the wounds of Mozhu and Momei again, and found that the recovery of the wounds was not bad, so he was relieved.

The most important thing for the two of them to heal is the first three or four days.

If the wound is not infected for the first three or four days, there is basically no problem.

After all this, Qingwen helped Jia Huan change into an official uniform.

Looking at Jia Huan, who had added a lot of majesty to her body, Qingwen was full of joy.

She couldn't help but say: "The third master puts on the official uniform, and he really has the style of being a master!" ”

Jia Huan deliberately raised his face and asked, "Who is the woman in the hall, why don't you worship when you see this official?" ”

Qingwen Yingying bowed down and said, "The little woman visits the county magistrate." ”

Jia Huanyi raised his hand and said, "Flatten!" ”

Qingwen and Caiyun and Mandarin Duck couldn't help but laugh.

Next, Jia Huan took Mo Da and three other Mo family disciples, a total of four, and went straight to the official office in front.

With these four Mo family disciples here, as long as they don't run into a large team, they can ensure that Jia Huan is foolproof.

Not long after, Jia Huan is to come to the official office, the middle of the lobby hangs the golden plaque of the main hall of Ping'an County, the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, the front of the pavilion stands a sea water screen, and the golden plaque is hung on the mirror.

The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the table is placed with the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, which is the arrow frame on the left, and there is a black folding fan on the right. There are two bluestones on the left and right sides in front of the warm pavilion, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.

In the official office, from the county to the main book to the history, there are also tax ambassadors, head catchers, teachings, instructors, post officials and other officials, all waiting for the new chief official.

After Jia Huan arrived, a cadre of officials hurriedly bowed and said, "The lower officials will meet your lordship." ”

Jia Huanjing sat down at ease, and then said: "Excuse me, this official is appointed by the current saint to serve as the county commander of this county." ”

"As you all know, this county has been established as a pilot for reform, and the purpose of this official is to promote the reform of the new law. In the future, we will need to rely on your cooperation. ”

"This official has just arrived, and I am not familiar with all my colleagues, so please introduce yourself." (End of chapter)
