Chapter 410: Maturity of agricultural products
Now many people in several counties around Ping'an County have come to Ping'an County to beg for a living.
And the people of Ping'an County, at this time, their identity shelves are up, and some of them look down on the people in the surrounding counties.
In Ping'an County, no matter how remote the countryside is, no matter how poor the village is, the boys and girls in the village don't have to worry about getting married.
The girls from the surrounding counties and townships all cut their heads and wanted to marry into Ping'an County.
Who made Ping'an County issue a good county order?
In just one year after coming to Ping'an County, Ping'an County has undergone earth-shaking changes.
……
Before you know it, the time has passed June, come to July, and enter August.
The annual tax collection activity is also in full swing.
In the past, taxation was a big problem for every county.
After all, the rich are unwilling to pay grain, and the people have no food to pay.
And in this era when the imperial power did not go to the countryside, it was the local officials who collected taxes.
These little officials are thinking about how to collect more food and fill their pockets.
Therefore, every time a tax is levied, it will provoke all kinds of contradictions.
And this year's taxation, these situations do not exist at all in Ping'an County.
Needless to say, those rich people are happier than the other.
There was no need for anyone to urge, and even before the tax collection began, they had already prepared the silver and sent it to the county government early.
After all, the profits they could get in the carriage workshop were staggering, and the idea of tax money was just a drizzle for them.
How to choose, they are naturally able to carry it clearly.
As for the small officials who collect taxes, not to mention the small officials found by Cheng Lu Liu, who is in charge of the county, they are all innocent and capable of professional ethics.
After the reform, the silver was directly levied, and the fire was returned to the public.
They can only collect as much as they want, and from the rules, the possibility of their greed for ink is eliminated.
And now, the people of the entire Ping'an County are also rich, and this idea of tax money can be easily taken out.
Of course, even in the richest places, there are inevitably poor people.
This is not necessarily because these people are lazy to eat.
Rather, there will be many accidents, illnesses and all kinds of accidents in life, which will destroy your efforts.
And after the inspection, if the family is really poor, they will be directly exempted from taxes.
Fortunately, in the entire Ping'an County, there are not many real poor people, and together, there are only two or three hundred households.
That's a very low number for a large county.
Soon, the tax was levied, and it was forty-six thousand taels of silver.
And the tax silver of a county in Ping'an County is almost comparable to the tax silver of a county.
If it is implemented in the entire Great Xia, not to mention that the tax burden will be increased tenfold, but at least it can be increased by five times.
Soon, the tax money of Ping'an County was escorted to Beijing, which once again caused a sensation in the court.
But anyone with insight can see the benefits of change.
And the transformation of Ping'an County can be called perfect.
Although in the early days, he copied three families and killed hundreds of people.
But what change can be accomplished without bloodshed?
And the change in Ping'an County is really perfect, except for copying the three major families, the follow-up did not cause any turmoil.
Even the fourteen families paid their taxes very actively and took the initiative to cooperate.
The livelihood of Ping'an County has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year.
Jia Huan's talent can be described as turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain.
Such a method, throughout the history books, has never been heard of.
Even those conservatives have begun to waver in their hearts.
After all, conservatives are powerful, but not all of them are single-minded.
Some of the conservatives are genuine conservatives.
Because they themselves are from a family, or the spokesperson of a family.
They oppose the new law simply because it moves their interests.
Some conservatives are afraid that the change will cause turmoil in the entire Great Xia, and even shake the country's foundation.
But if the reform can be implemented as smoothly as Ping'an County, it can be said that the reform is definitely a great good thing for Daxia.
After the pains, the overall national strength of Great Xia will definitely be able to thrive and create another prosperous era.
These courtiers can also go down in history.
As for the change in the minds of the courtiers, Emperor Chongkang watched coldly, calculating in his heart that those conservative officials could win over.
……
The time has entered August, and it is also the day of the hospital examination.
The hospital exam also attracted Jia Huan's attention, and this time the college exam, Jia Lan and Qin Jingqing will also participate.
If both of them can pass this college exam, they will be able to gain fame in Xiucai.
Especially Jia Lan, if he can also gain the fame of Xiucai, he can also further dominate the big face treasure.
I'm afraid that in the future, the days of the big face treasure will become more and more sad.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 has passed.
The results of the hospital examination were also finally released.
Jia Lan and Qin Jingqing both passed the test, ranking fifteenth and twelfth respectively.
Jia Lan successfully won the fame of Xiucai, and the entire Rongguo Mansion was overjoyed.
The masters naturally produced another reading seed for the Jia family, and the Jia family will be more prosperous and happy in the future.
The subordinates are because of the reward, this month, all the minions' monthly silver has been doubled, how can they not be happy?
And after Jia Huan learned the news, he was happy for a moment, and then he threw away his hand.
The left and right are just a show of fame, and they haven't been taken into his eyes yet.
And what Jia Huan cares about the most is that three new crops are about to start harvesting.
These three new crops are, of course, sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts.
It was mainly planted by fourteen families, each of which set aside 1,000 acres of land to grow these three new crops.
In the harvest season, those people are all seen as jokes.
These three new crops are of course very high-yielding, just like the sweet potato, the yield per mu is more than 2,000 catties.
I don't know how much higher it is than wheat.
However, although the taste of such things is not bad, they cannot be eaten as a staple food, so they cannot be sold at all.
Didn't have to grow so much to do anything.
Jia Huan smiled and ordered the people of the fourteenth family to cut the sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes and then put them in the ground to dry.
As for corn and peanuts, as long as they are dried, he will buy them all at the price of wheat.
In this way, the family took out 1,000 acres of land to grow these three crops, and instead of losing money, they also made money.
After all, the yields of these three crops are much higher than those of wheat.
Soon, the corn and peanuts were dried.
Dried sweet potatoes still have to wait two days.
Jia Huan ordered people to buy all the corn and peanuts first.
Next, Jia Huan grinds the corn into flour directly in the four-wheeled carriage workshop.
Then mix into a batter, and in front of everyone, start spreading pancakes. (End of chapter)
