Chapter 368: The First Counterattack
Seeing that all the heads of the fourteen families agreed, Jia Huan said with a smile: "You are really models of the gentry, and this official will have to rely on you in the future." ”
"However, this official hopes that after you go back, you can distribute the land of Cao, Song, and Bai as soon as possible, report the number of acres of your fields as soon as possible, and pay taxes as soon as possible."
"And after you pay the taxes, this official will personally escort these taxes into Beijing, and personally ask for merit for you in front of the current saint."
"If possible, the official can even ask for a Holy Ink Treasure for each of your families."
Hearing this, the heads of the fourteen families all fluttered.
The things mentioned by Jia County's order were too tempting, and they couldn't help but be moved.
If they can really get the ink treasure from His Majesty, it will be tantamount to a gold medal for their family!
As long as they don't die themselves, they don't dare to say more, at least it will not be a problem to protect their family for a few decades.
This ink treasure is worth a thousand gold!
At this time, the head of the Liu family suddenly said in embarrassment: "Lord County, there is a temporary shortage of money in the cold house, even if it is borrowed, it will take some time. ”
"Once the cooperation fund of 100,000 taels of silver is paid, the family is already stretched, I wonder if this tax can be forgiven for some time?"
"My lord, don't worry, my Liu family will pay taxes in full even if they smash pots and sell iron, but it will take a few days to raise cash."
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Master Liu, you don't want to reverse the priority." After you go back, you should pay the tax as soon as possible. ”
"As for the 100,000 taels of silver invested in the carriage workshop, there is no hurry, as long as it is handed over before the year."
Hearing this, the head of the Liu family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your size." ”
The discussion was decided, and the heads of the fourteen families retired.
After they left the county office, they did not leave immediately, but went to Qingfeng Tower together.
Of course, this time, they weren't plotting how to fight the new law.
Rather, they were deliberating about how the fourteen of them would eat the land of the three families.
Because Jia County's order was urgent, they didn't wait for how to buy the land and how to distribute it.
They directly divided the land of the three families according to the strength of each family and the border with the land of the three families.
Next, the heads of the fourteen families went home to raise money.
In the afternoon of the same day, the head of the Wang family took the cash and went straight to the county government to pay the tax.
The Wang family had a total of 32,278 acres of land, and they had to pay 6,455,26 yuan of silver.
Jia Huan called Lu Liu and ordered Lu Liu to count the silver and then send it to the warehouse.
The other thirteen families, after hearing that the Wang family sent the taxes to the county government on the same day, couldn't help but scold the Wang family behind their backs for being the sixth.
Next, the other thirteen also accelerated their fundraising.
By the second day, each family had already paid all the taxes that they needed to pay.
In total, the 14 families occupied as much as 236,000 acres of land.
This number is more than what Jia Yun heard before.
Of course, the error is still very small, which also shows Jia Huan's ability.
A total of forty-seven thousand two hundred taels of silver were collected.
Just one county can collect more than 40,000 taels of silver!
And there are more than 1,400 counties in Daxia, and of course, Ping'an County is a big county.
But on average, even a county only charges 10,000 taels of silver.
Then the entire Great Xia will be able to collect more than 14 million taels of silver.
And this is just the agricultural tax that is apportioned into the acre.
And that's not even counting taxes on salt, iron, tea, merchants, etc.
All of them add up, I'm afraid that there will always be thirty or forty million taels of silver.
If so much tax silver can be collected in a year, how can the imperial court be afraid of running out of money at that time?
Jia Huan suddenly smiled, feeling that he was thinking a little far.
This time, all the taxes of the gentry families in Ping'an County were collected.
There are still more than 70,000 acres of Pingtou people's fields left, and if they are all collected, they will receive about 14,000 taels of silver.
However, Jia Huan is not going to collect taxes from the people this year.
The people have already paid taxes once in the spring, and this time the taxes collected are heavier than in the spring.
If we continue to collect taxes from the people, it will make the people's lives even more difficult.
Therefore, Jia Huan simply decided to give up collecting taxes from the people and wait until next autumn to collect them.
At that moment, Jia Huan called Lu Liu and ordered him to inform the towns and villages of the news.
Hearing this, Lu Liu hurriedly gave Jia Huan a deep bow and said: "The adults have the people in mind, so they order the lower officials to respect them, and please accept the lower officials." ”
Jia Huan laughed and helped Lu Liu up and said: "Lu Dianshi, this official is the parent official of Ping'an County, this is what this official should do. ”
Lu Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The adult is really a model for my generation, don't worry, the matter that the adult commands, the lower officials will announce it as soon as possible." ”
Lu Liu instructed his subordinates, and soon informed him of the news.
And this news caused the people of the entire Ping'an County to cheer, and many people even cried with joy.
The new county magistrate is really an official for one term, benefiting one party, and he is really the blue sky lord of Ping'an County!
Many people walked out of their homes and kowtowed in the direction of the county government.
……
Let's say that because of Jia Huan's report, it directly caused an uproar in the court.
This county commander of the sixth yuan in the company looked like Sven was clear-eyed, but he didn't expect him to be so murderous.
He has only been in Ping'an County for a few days, and he has directly copied the homes of three families.
and directly killed the descendants of the county and the family where the main book is located.
This kind of thing has never happened since the founding of Great Xia.
The so-called copying of the county order, the destruction of the door of the house Yin.
But even if other county orders raided their homes, they would never cause such a sensation, and they raided their homes, usually just some merchants' homes, and they hardly touched the gentry's homes.
Not to mention, one move is to move three.
And it was also Jia Huan, the county order, and he directly killed the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper.
Who exactly gave him the right?
What? You said that the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper were assassinated by assassins, not Jia Huan?
Who cares about that?
What's more, even if you don't kill it, you can't send someone to arrest it for public trial, where do you get such power from a county order?
If the county orders of the world follow suit, won't the world be chaotic?
Therefore, Jia Huan's actions triggered an impeachment from the court.
The impeachment of Jia Huan can be described as full of sweat.
At the beginning, Emperor Chongkang was still in the middle, but things got worse and worse, and Emperor Chongkang couldn't keep it down.
Reformists such as Chong Kandi understood that the first counterattack of the conservatives came.
