When Zhang Yue woke up again, there was a noise.

"Mrs. Zhang, following the order of Shangguan, a family came to Xiaoyu's mansion: The tax on the brisk goods this year should be paid!" A harsh and hoarse male voice came into Zhang Yue's ears: "If you fail to pay the money over the deadline and miss the major matters above, the lady may not be able to afford it!"

For some reason, when Zhang Yue heard this voice, he felt very upset and had the urge to kill someone.

"I understand..." A slightly tired female voice said softly: "I'll ask Mr. Qin to go back and report to the company: Please give me some time and give me some time to raise money for my family..."

"It's my sister-in-law..." Zhang Yue felt extremely guilty when he heard this female voice.

This is the emotions and memories that Zhang Yi left to him.

In Zhang Yi's memory, since his deceased brother died of illness, the family was supported by his sister-in-law.

In the past two years, my sister-in-law has been both an older sister and a mother, and has worked hard to manage all kinds of affairs inside and outside the home.

Every day before dawn, my sister-in-law was busy in the kitchen. In the middle of the night, the oil lamp in her room had not yet been turned off. It was her sewing clothes or knitting silk overnight.

Originally, Zhang Yi was fantasizing that if he could be appreciated by noble people and praised him, he would definitely repay him after he was rich.

However, the changes in Changyang Palace made his wish forever become a wish.

"This... Madam, this county magistrate has no choice but to have a family..." The man said helplessly.

"This...is probably the first wave of suppression..." Zhang Yue sighed in his heart.

"Of course, it may be that this person heard some rumors, so he came to... and took advantage of the situation and put the blame..."

There is no need to think too much, Zhang Yue already understands it like a mirror in his heart.

According to the "Land Law", land tax is divided into land tax, tuition tax, and draft tax.

From the lower part of the Qing Dynasty, each year, the land is expropriated according to the amount of land.

Among them, the standard for land tax is thirty taxes.

The collection of the simplified Chinese is calculated based on the land area.

Generally speaking, each hectare of land (whether mountain tombs or irrigated land) must be paid one stone of each straw.

But this is only for the country.

Just like the rural areas of China in the 1980s and 1990s, the expenses and expenses of grassroots governments in the Han Dynasty were also spread to the burden of the people.

Similar to fundraising.

According to the law, two stones of straw are produced every time and three stones of draft are produced.

It is called the law of the fu and the fu.

After deducting the straw paid in October each year, each hectare of land has to bear one stone of straw and two stones of draft.

The so-called straw actually refers to hay and straw.

In the feudal era, this was a necessary material for cavalry operations. It was similar to oil, a strategic resource for the country and a necessity for the army to carry out military activities.

However, in fact, the one that really needs to pay the money is that time in October every year.

For the rest, the people can choose to pay money or replace it with other materials.

However, what is really scary is not this, but the law stipulates that local county-level governments can choose to collect this part of the ritual at any time of year as their own office expenses or use them to repair yamen, cities, and roads.

You can tell with your butt that local officials will definitely collude with the powerful and use this regulation to make people fish and meat.

After the autumn harvest every year, local officials will definitely not collect straws, which forces farmers to sell the straws they have worked hard to harvest at a low price. When winter or spring plowing, the price of straws is high, and the fatal tax collector will come!

Not only that, local officials and powerful people also have a set of combined punches to cooperate with them.

The purpose is to force farmers to borrow usury as much as possible.

As long as you get involved in things like usury, a family will basically be completely destroyed.

Therefore, some literati said worriedly: Farmers and sons are exposed to the middle and wilderness, do not avoid the cold and heat, raking grass and soil, and their hands and feet are called to each other. They have already rented the grain and published manuscripts, and the towns have privately sought it, and countless people have asked for it. [Han Shu. Biography of Gong Yu]

However……

This is the Kanto routine, at least it is the place under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng.

The situation in Nanling is special.

I have never heard of this for decades that there is no one who dares to play such a trick in Nanling County.

"Are you not afraid of being in trouble if you jump out like this? You can't afford to take advantage of it?" Zhang Yue sighed in his heart, feeling a little funny for the man's stupidity.

Anyone with some historical background in later generations knew that there was an institution called Sanfu in Guanzhong of the Western Han Dynasty.

Jingzhao Yin, left Fengyi, right Fufeng.

Most people's first impression is that the entire Guanzhong should be under the jurisdiction of these three auxiliary yamen.

However, Zhang Yue, who has Zhang Yi's memory, knew that this was not the case.

Since Liu Bang established his capital in Chang'an, Guanzhong has always been in some places that are not under the jurisdiction of normal bureaucracies.

Whether it is the former inner history or the later inner history of the left and right, the Sanfu Ministers had never had specific jurisdiction over Nanling County.

Because Nanling County is Lingyi County.

It belongs to Taichang's direct leadership, with Emperor Gao's Changling, Emperor Hui's Anling, Emperor Taizong's Baling, the former emperor's Yangling, and the Maoling, today, have not been the place where civil officials can intervene since their establishment.

In these places, even the laws, systems and rules have similarities and differences with other places.

Because all the lingyi counties have only one purpose: to worship and protect the tombs and temples of the ancestors of the Lao Liu family.

Basically, Lingyi County in the Han Dynasty was similar to the special administrative regions of later generations.

In the jurisdiction of Lingyi County, Taichang will always pay attention to it.

If there is any slightest movement, Taichang will go to inspect immediately.

Because this is directly related to Taichang's black hat or even his life!

Since the Han Dynasty, Taichangqing, who lost his official position and even committed suicide and apologized for an accident in Lingyi, has no ten fingers counted.

After ascending the throne, he was more respectful and serious about his ancestors.

The pressure from Taichangqing and others has increased significantly.

More than ten years ago, not far from Nanling County, Jin Shi, the then Marquis of Fenyang, was impeached and dismissed because he forgot to repair local roads and bridges in time, and even the marquis was lost.

But Jin Shi was still lucky.

At least he saved his life!

And the others are not so lucky.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been as many as several Taichang who died in the office of Taichangqing.

There were even two prime ministers and one censor who died directly or indirectly because of Taichang’s affairs!

Li Cai, the brother of the famous flying general Li Guang, and Zhang Tang, the famous cruel official, were all victims.

Therefore, in Lingyi County, the attitude of the government has always been to maintain stability first.

Anything that may intensify conflicts will never be done.

Anything that may anger the people will never be done if you beat them to death.

The reason is very simple. If you anger someone, they will fight to death and make big news.

The emperor was furious and knocked down the board, but he didn't care what your starting point was?

As a child today, the least feared thing in his life is to kill people!

Therefore, for decades, officials of all sizes and big and small in Nanling County have been doing things that have been involved in the exploitation of the matter.

However, at this turn of spring and summer, when the green and yellow are not in contact, no one dares to do anything that threatens, threatens, and forces.

What if something goes wrong?

Therefore, the people in the Lingyi area generally have better life than the people in other non-lingyi counties.

It's not that good, but at least there are much less exploitation and levy.

But... Zhang Yue was still a little worried.

This person's methods and routines are not very good.

but……

"I hope my sister-in-law can see through..." Zhang Yue prayed in his heart.

He knew that his sister-in-law had never studied and had never even gone out of Changshui Township since she married into the Zhang family at the age of fourteen.

The biggest world I have ever seen is just the Ten Mile Pavilion in Changshui Township.

Not to mention the Han system, it is difficult to figure out who is the biggest in Changshui Township.

If this person easily tests the Zhang family's background, or even blackmails it.

So……

There is no doubt that the Zhang family will become a piece of fat meat that attracts all kinds of evil wolf and vultures.

From then on, all kinds of difficulties, suppression, and even attacks will follow.

These people will eat the Zhang family cleanly!

But I heard my sister-in-law's voice say, "This is how... the little woman dares not make things difficult for Mr. Ming..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue's heart had already sunk.

If the sister-in-law succeeds in being blackmailed by this person, she will buy the strawberry at a high price.

As long as the news spreads, the clerks and gentry in Nanling County will be excited.

A weak and powerless landlord who does not know how to protect and defend his own interests?

This is a piece of fat meat placed on the chopping board!

What's more, there was a young man in the landlord's family who arrogantly condemned the nobles of the dynasty and the Confucian scholar who was in charge of the political affairs.

There will definitely be no one coming out to make a decision for this family.

Then what are you waiting for?

Share and eat it!

"Just..." Just when Zhang Yue was almost desperate, his sister-in-law's voice suddenly raised a tone: "I would like to ask the little lady of Ming Gong Rong to send someone to inform the Changshui School Office..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue's mood suddenly turned 180 degrees and finally he was able to feel relieved.

because……

The Changshui Captain is the protective umbrella of the Zhang family.

Back then, Zhang Yi's father worked in the Changshui School Guard's Office. Although he was just a documentary, he had a good relationship with many officials among the Changshui School Guard.

When Zhang Yi's father passed away, Zhang Yi was still young, but he still remembered that at that time, Ren An, the then Changshui Captain, sent someone to pay condolences and condolences.

After Zhang Yi's brother died, Gongsun Yi, the then Changshui school captain, also sent his retainers to pay their respects and taxed two golds (the red envelopes for drinking wine in the Han Dynasty was called taxes, which are recorded in the records of the Grand Historian).

This is known to everyone in the entire Changshui Township.

It is precisely because of the two consecutive Changshui lieutenants that the Zhang family can gain a foothold in this society where the strong prey on the weak. Zhang Yi, a young man, was able to join the sect of Huang Hui, a hermit in Mount Li. Otherwise, even if the people of the Huang-Lao School were in a down-and-out position, they would not have taken a poor family to enter.

Although, in fact, Zhang Yi didn’t know what kind of friendship his father had with the big men in the Changshui School Office? Can these people be reliable?

But at least, with this signature as a shield, ordinary cats and dogs dare not force them too much.

The Changshui Captain, who is a member of two thousand stones.

It's even more like the heart of today's son.

In all foreign wars, the Changshui Captain was the elite who charged forward!

Although the two Changshui Captains who had sent people to pay their respects have now stepped down, they have not retired and have not stepped aside.

Ren An has now been promoted to the Northern Army Guardian.

As for Gongsun Yi, it is rumored that he will replace Han Chang, the Tingwei Qing, who is about to retire, and serve as the Tingwei of the Han family, and take charge of judicial power!

Although it is very likely that these two giants were just acting at the time, and they may not even remember which father Zhang was.

It’s just that I heard that something happened to a certain family, who had been a colleague with me, so I let my servants come over and say goodbye.

However, who can guarantee that those two people really have no friendship with the Zhang family?

You have to know that the camp of Changshui Captain is located in the lower reaches of the Changshui River.

In case, Zhang Jiazhen and the Changshui Captain had some incense, the cavalry would set off from the Changshui Camp and could reach the county town of Nanling County in just half an hour.

The Changshui cavalry were basically all Wu Hengyi's followers, and some people's fathers even followed the Grand Sima Champion Hou Huo Qubing to penetrate the entire Huns and seal the wolf and the mountain.

These people are very unreasonable!

If you get angry, you won’t bother with who you are. Let’s talk about it after you beat them!

Sure enough, when he heard the name of "Changshui School Office", the man immediately said in disappointment: "I dare not...I dare..."

Then, he asked as if he had nothing to say, "I heard that the young man in the country was feeling a cold a few days ago. I wonder if he is already cured now?"

"Mr. Lao Ming is worried about it. My uncle is now very happy..." Sister-in-law replied lightly: "Maybe in July, I can go to Changshui School Guard Camp and make a document..."

"The man in the noble family is really auspicious and God blessed..." Maybe he couldn't control it. The man smiled and said, "As for the matter of rituals... the county road urged him not too urgently. The fellow villagers in the village, as a rose husband, will definitely help you. Please relax your wives and take care of the man with peace of mind..."

"Chameleon..." Zhang Yue shook his head in his heart when he heard this.

In later generations, such villains were everywhere in government agencies and units. If there was a cheaper one, they would hit the snake and stick, and they would not let go if they bite it.

They are like poisonous snakes and jackals.

It is the standard opportunist and scavenger.

Now, it seems to have forced it back.

But in fact, this is just the beginning, and this person is just a pawn protruding his head.

Once they figure out the reality of the Zhang family or get more confidence, then groups of jackals will swarm and tear Zhang Yue and the entire Zhang family to pieces!

Zhang Yue knew that he had to seize the time and come up with countermeasures.
