Chapter two hundred and sixteen busy
No one in Huairen County expected that Qin Juren would be so efficient in doing things.
Everyone is used to procrastination and shirk responsibility, and is no longer used to the decisive behavior. According to common sense, Mr. Qin has worked hard to return and has not seen his family for a long time. He has to reunite with his family first, then hand over the deal with Huairen County, and then start working. Seeing that it is not much time to snow, the matter of collecting unowned land in the county will not start next year.
No one expected that the progress of this matter began the day after the plan was proposed. Including Zhou Gui, the House Jingcheng, everyone thought that the "keep up" in the banquet was a cliché. When Qin Chuan appeared in front of the county government, the white-bodied deputy servants who were guarding there hurriedly went to various families to report the news, asking everyone who had not yet arrived to come to the duty.
Although he returned the day before yesterday, Juren Qin went directly to the lobby of the county government office and asked Magistrate Ai in front of the leaders and masters of the sixth room of Class 3, which made the county magistrate lose face, but today's negotiations went quite smoothly. Magistrate Ai dared not stop this plan. Cutting off people's wealth and wealth was like killing his parents. Obstructing this matter is equivalent to being an enemy of the wealthy people in the county. In addition, there are many joints that have to be confirmed by the magistrate. If you want to do it smoothly, there will be no less benefits. Although the day before yesterday was equivalent to tearing apart, everyone is an adult, and in the face of making money, they cannot let go of any grudges.
Since Magistrate Ai "considered the overall situation", Qin Chuan was not stingy. The two sides quickly reached an agreement that in the past few years of tax exemption, each mu of land production would be two percent of the benefits of Magistrate Ai, 10 percent of the benefits would be given to Magistrate Ai, which would be converted into a normal yearly land tax, which would be equivalent to more than half of the annual land tax would be given to Magistrate Ai.
The land tax in a county is not a decimal. In the usual rules, Ai Magistrate can get less than three points of taxes collected by the whole county. The officials and servants are deducting it from one layer to another. The reason why Qin Chuan proposed such high conditions this time, Jingcheng and Guan Nian, who were on the other side, also agreed because everyone is afraid of the long night and dreams, and do not want any delay in the process. It is settled earlier and started earlier. I don’t know how many years this Ai Magistrate can work in Huairen County. Even if he has completed his term, he will have a few years left. The next one will definitely not give it to him...
After the two sides agreed, they immediately sent people to Datong Prefecture City to report the disaster, asking the government and the governor's office to reduce the money and food for Huairen County in the next few years. The Tartars had originally bloody baptized nearly half of Huairen County's territory, but in the report documents, four-fifths of the county's land suffered, and the population fled and could not be produced.
The joints of reducing money and exempting money are the most difficult to open up, because even if the above gives you this preferential treatment, according to the common rules, the following must still be charged according to the original number. The 70% discount of the original number is considered to be conscientious, but the money and grain collected in this way are not paid upwards and they are swallowed up by themselves. Since it is a wealthy act, the person who approves must of course share the benefits.
Regarding the beginning and end of the reduction of money and grain, let alone the veteran official like Jingchengguannian, County Magistrate Ai, who has been an aide for many years, is very clear about who should give and who should not give and how much money should be given, and everyone knows it well, and some even directly report the number.
"There have been two military chaos in Datong in the past four years, and all the masters on the government office have been affected, so they need more than in previous years. I'm afraid they can't handle it without 600 taels."
"Since that's the case, I'll get all the six hundred taels out. You'll arrange for someone to go to the government office to run. I also have a few friends from the same subject there. I can write a letter to take care of you."
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Since it's related to the welfare of the people in the county, how can you let Mr. Qin suffer alone? The younger ones are willing to share the burden!"
When you encounter money spent money on weekdays, everyone will push you and let me give you all the difficulties, but this time you rob me, for fear that Qin Juren will take it all by himself. Ai Zhengwen, who was sitting next to him, just sneered. Smart people understand that whoever does the most work now will speak the most when distributing benefits in the future. Originally, Qin Chuan had already occupied the big head and could not let him take everything first, so as not to swallow everything.
In addition, Qin Chuan also decided on another matter in the yamen, which was to seal the warehouse. Before and after the Tartars invaded, it was the time to collect autumn grain. Most of the autumn grain in the county had been put into the warehouse. Since taxes were to be reduced and exempted, these autumn grains did not have to be transported to Datong Prefecture City, nor did they have to be allocated to the military fort in the border town on the spot according to the rules of the border town. Then these grains would be used to recruit poor people. After all, before the harvest is completed next year, the people would also have to have stocks for food.
Everyone has no objection to this. Anyway, it is a business that makes money and food from the government. However, this time I didn't get it into everyone's pocket, but I invested it in capital.
......
After Zhu Da sent Chang Kai away, he took ten servants out. Although Zhu Da did not ride a horse, his swords and bows were all in place, and the servants were carrying long and short spears on their backs, and they left the house with full arms. This time Zhou Qingyun did not follow him.
"Of these eighteen people, there are only ten who can practice martial arts and fight. The others can count. If you really want to fight and kill, it may not be possible." Before leaving, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun muttered.
It’s not that twenty homeless young and strong people have been recruited. These twenty people have been killed by blood and have barely been stage frightened. But according to Zhu Da’s standards for warriors in his heart, it is still far away. Whether it is a single-on-one fight or a fight between multiple people, Zhu Da feels that someone is not qualified.
Some people can continue to exercise, while others are obviously not suitable for licking blood on the edge of the knife. The most obvious example is Wang Jing. This person is very thoughtful and clever, but fighting with blood on the battle formation often requires a stubborn mind. Of course, everyone has their own strengths. Now it is time to use people, and it is not suitable for fighting with swords and guns. There are other things to do. For these first servants, they have experienced life and death together with Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and trust each other, which is the most important and most important.
Zhu Da took away these ten martial artists that he thought were capable of making. Ji Xiaodong, Pan Zhuzi, Chen Dashan and Liu Nan were among them, while Zhang Jinbei and Wang Jing were kept. The servants did not realize the meaning of this distribution. They thought it was a normal rotation, and those who were left were practicing attentively.
It was fine when we walked out of the yard. After turning a crossroads and heading to the avenue, they were all very scary. There were many idle men in this area, and there were also many white-bodied deputy soldiers who were pursuing the fun. After recognizing Zhu Da, of course they didn't even dare to take care of him. They just secretly talked about it and told everyone what a bad person he was. Even if the people who knew him didn't say it, others could guess it when they saw this. Not long after, idle men and serious people on the street knew who came out. Thinking about what happened in Huairen County these days, the eyes of Zhu Da and others were really awe-inspiring.
Before we walked too far, two familiar young men ran over quickly. When they met, they smiled and bowed, and whispered to themselves. However, they were two of Chang Kai's followers. They were not those who had been with him these two days, but those who had helped to work as deputy servants in the past. These two people now have a little bit of a rise in the water. They knew the reason why Chang Kai was promoted and the weight of the young master in front of them. They were originally guarding the yamen. When they heard that Zhu Da was on his way, they immediately followed up to flatter him.
"What business is Mr. Zhu doing? You can just say something to the young people." After introducing himself, you must have this kind of polite words.
"Call a few people who are familiar with the city and take us for a walk." Zhu Da said his request without hesitation, and the other party naturally agreed. Not long after, four young people ran over. The four of them looked sixteen or seventeen years old. Although they were young people, they were a bit slick and squirmed. When they met, they nodded and asked Zhu Da to give instructions.
These four people were just white-bodied under Chang Kai, and were willing to be white-bodied deputy servants inside and outside the city. One was to get an identity to avoid being disturbed by the official tyrant, and the other was to use this to support the family to make money. Where did the benefits of supporting the family come from? Of course, it came from the people of the county. Therefore, this second type had to be more or less destroyed. Good people often could not be able to do it. These people in front of them should all be gangsters.
The origin is no different from Zhu Da. These four people are obviously trembling. They know better than others what Zhu Da has done. In front of Zhu Da, they are like pigs and sheep facing a beast.
"Take me to see the industries of Fang Ming and Yang Shouwei. Everyone inside and outside the city must be seen." Zhu Da said bluntly, and several people quickly agreed. Such simple and direct instructions made the four people a little easier. For the white-handed deputy, the industries of the masters and uncles in the yamen must be clarified. If you use the ability to plunder and blackmail on these masters and uncles, you will really die and you can't die anymore. It is also a lesson learned by the blood and tears of the predecessors. You must be clear.
Huairen County is not big, and it took no time to go around the city inside and outside the city, but Zhu Da and his party walked for an hour and a half. Each of the industries of the Fang family and the Yang family was carefully examined. The so-called industries are several street-facing shops and houses in the city, three farms and a big car shop outside the city. Yang Shouwen is nothing more than a piece of land worth hundreds of acres, and there are two houses in the city.
In the eyes of the white-bodied deputy who led the way, Zhu Da should take a closer look at several stores in the city and take a quick look outside the city. You should know that the assets of the master who worked in the yamen were different from those of the gentry. Because they made a fortune in taxes, they had relatively many gold, silver, copper coins. Although they had been looted by outsiders before and after the family broke their homes, it was said that there were silver and gold deposits and other things. Today, Zhu Da came to the door and wanted to search for this. After all, this master made a fortune in Zhengjiaji.
