Vol 2 Chapter 1087: too frightening

After several negotiations, Li Xiaoshan paid the price of a year's harvest and took back his field from Zhang Juren.
Li Dashan asked him, "Do you regret it?"
"I regret it, I regret it. If the imperial court had 10 taxes a few years earlier, I would definitely not offer Zhang Juren." Li Xiaoshan took the newly established land deed and smiled.
Li Dashan asked him again, "The one-year collection of Chengdu was given to Zhang Ju's family. What do you plan to do next?"
Li Xiaoshan looked at Li Dashan eagerly, "Brother, please help me!"
"Get out!" Li Dashan was so angry that this was dependent on him.
"Brother, brother, if you don't help me, my family won't be able to survive! My family's rations will be gone by next month!"
"Tell you to get out! Guarding such a large mountain, I don’t believe you can’t find anything to eat. The rest station collects mountain products every day, and Sihai meat and vegetable shops often go to the countryside to collect mountain products. You can go to the mountains a few more times to eat. Yes."
"But, but..."
"Don't tell me but. Others say you are stupid. I think you are so silly that you are so stupid."
Li Dashan walked very firmly.
Although Li Xiaoshan cried behind him, he did not look back.
Similar situations are happening in various prefectures, counties, townships, and villages within Dazhou.
Everyone is crazy because of ten taxes and one tax.
Xiaomin is crazy to return the land he dedicated.
The old wealth of the landlord is crazy to keep his land.
The court could not be so vicious and could not impose heavy taxes.
A three-year reprieve will not work.
As the autumn harvest approaches, the vast countryside becomes more and more noisy.
The manpower of the Shaofu, the House of Internal Affairs, and Jinwuwei had been sent out long before the law was promulgated to check the situation of each state capital.
Only when the first day of August arrives, we must start to take action.
Of course, the assistance of Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop is indispensable.
Who in the world knows the scale of the land of each state capital, the ownership of the land, the size of the population of each household, and the geometry of the land, it is none other than Sihai meat and vegetable shops.
After nearly two decades of hard work, it is finally time to harvest.
Chen Erzhuang was very proud. He could proudly say that in every village in the world, the folks from the Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop couldn't make a trip.
Any village in the corner of the corner, any village in the mountain gougou, has the footprints of the Sihai butcher shop.
The population of the world and the land are all registered. The books are piled up like a mountain.
The Shaofu sent hundreds of account rooms to the Baijiafang Archives to copy the population and account books of the world.
Two warehouses, tens of thousands of account books, divided into prefecture, county, township, and village registration. Also comes with the year.
This is the essence of years of hard work by Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop.
Looking at the account book full of warehouses, all the accounts in Shaofu were shocked.
The staff of the archives were cheerful, as if they were watching a group of unseen hillbillies.
"The results of the years are all here. Copy it yourself."
"This, so much?"
"This is the sorted amount. If it were the original data, it would be ten times more than this."
Shaofu’s accountant felt panic.
This workload is too much.
They admire the efforts of Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop for so many years, and they have traveled to every village. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
Just admire it.
At the thought of completing such a huge amount of work in a short time, all of them tremble a little.
"There is a printing room at the bottom, you can use it." The archive staff kindly reminded.
"Thanks a lot."
All the Shaofu accountants breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a tough battle to be fought next, and everyone did not dare to relax, and quickly began to work in a division of labor.
...
Chang'an Palace.
Deng Cunli begged to see the empress and was invited into the study after being notified.
The maid beside the empress has a new face.
The previous maids had married and had children, and had other errands.
Deng Cunli bowed and asked to salute.
Gu Jiu cried before he sat down on the small round stool.
"how are things going?"
"Thanks to Niang Niang, things are going well," Deng Cunli said with his head down.
"It's only half a month before the first day of August. If you have any difficulties, just ask. Wait until the first day of August before you come to ask for help. My palace will not forgive you."
Gu Jiu's face was serious.
The new law of the land is a big move she has planned for many years.
In order to win the approval of court officials, many concessions were made.
If it can't be carried out smoothly, she will have a murderous heart.
Deng Cunli is fully aware of the importance of this matter, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the staff have already been sent, with the help of the Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop, and the conditions of the prefectures and counties have basically been found out. By the first day of August, as long as Jin Wuwei Cooperating well with the Ministry of Internal Servant will definitely make a good start.
The main problem at present is that the small people who donate the land and the big households are in a bad relationship. One wants to get back the land, the other refuses to let it go. Every local government receives similar cases every day. With the arrival of the first day of August, the old slave worried that if the Shaofu did not intervene in time, it might lead to a big case. "
Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, "My palace has heard several things about what you said recently. As the autumn harvest is approaching, Xiaomin will have to pay a great price if he wants to get back the land. It is said that some are harvested in one year. Some even have a two-year harvest. Whether it is a one-year harvest or a two-year harvest, the delivery of food means that these civilians will soon be hungry. This winter will be difficult, and next year’s green and yellow months will be even more difficult. Adding to the flames may cause civil upheavals."
"The mother is worried about rebellion?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Don't be unprepared! The Shaofu Food Bank must start operations ahead of time, and let the Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop cooperate with you to find out about the family's contribution to Xiaomin. After the autumn harvest is over, an announcement will be issued. Grain, next year’s grain seeds will also be loaned out. I take this opportunity to promote the selected high-quality grain seeds."
Deng Cunli frowned, "The Shaofu Grain Bank is very burdened. It will make a profit after the autumn harvest next year, and all the courts are waiting to eat the dividend. Lending the grain to the small people and charging only 10% of the interest is too cheap. If you fail to complete the profit task, you will have to post money to the Shaofu Food Bank next year."
Gu Jiu sternly reprimanded, "Is the profit important or the promotion of the law important? You are an old man around the house, and you should distinguish the importance. In order to promote the law, even if interest is not required, you have to borrow the food. do you understand?
There is no room for error in the law of ten taxes and one tax for all. In the face of this law, mere money is scum. This palace will give you private subsidies for how much money the Shaofu Food Bank lacks next year. However, the implementation of the law of ten taxes and one tax paid by the whole people is not good. Starting from you, this palace will discuss crimes one by one, and no one will be spared! "
Deng Cunli's face paled, "The mother taught me the truth. The old slave will certainly not live up to her expectations and will resolutely implement the full payment of ten taxes and one tax."
Gu Jiu's expression eased a little, "As for the profit of Shaofu Grain Bank, grain can be transported to Xiliang and to the grassland. There are huge profits. The brewery under Shaofu Grain Bank can also be operated in advance. The wines produced must occupy at least half of the market. The wealthy people hold a large amount of land and grain in their hands, and the grain wine market is almost monopolized by them. The palace wants you to break the wealthy people's monopoly on grain and wine, forcing them to sell what they have field."
"Old slaves follow the order! Old slaves don't worry about the market, they worry about the riotous clan."
"You can't get up, don't worry about that. Instead of worrying about the noisy clan, it is better to worry that the small people will be hungry and fall into the grass and be the neighbors of the disaster."
"The empress is right."
Gu Jiu frowned.
Deng Cunli asked cautiously, "Is the empress worried that the law will not be implemented smoothly?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The first year is the most important thing. Everyone is staring at the first day of August. Once the Shao Mansion goes unsuccessfully, then all the quail-like officials will jump up. By then, this palace and Your Majesty will bear the pressure from officials and gentry from all over the world. Therefore, the burden on the shoulders of your young mansion is very heavy. This palace also puts hope on your young mansion. I hope you will not let this palace down."
Deng Cunli already felt the pressure of Mount Tai at the top, "Old slaves understand. The old slaves will personally sit in various counties in Gyeonggi, staring at the land and calculating taxes. To ensure the smooth implementation of Gyeonggi ten taxes and all citizens. As long as Gyeonggi Province is fully implemented. No problem, the world will be half stable."
Gu Jiu nodded, "The remaining half are in Jiangnan. The palace specially sent Bai Zhong, the third prince, and Qian Xiang to Jiangnan, hoping that they would not let the palace down."
After a pause, she said again: "His Royal Highness will sit with you in Gyeonggi. You don't have to be pressured, just do things according to the plan. His Royal Highness will arrange his schedule by himself."
When he heard that His Royal Highness Qi was going to sit in Gyeonggi with him, Deng Cunli felt overwhelmed.
His Royal Highness Qi is basically certain that he is the prince.
How should he treat His Royal Highness Qi Wang? This is a question worth pondering.
Gu Jiu reminded him, "You just have to remember that you are a member of this palace, and you can do what you should do."
Deng Cunli trembled all over and woke up.
"Yes! Old slaves listen to the empress."
He secretly spit on himself, the older he gets, the more muddy his heart is, not as transparent as before.
The place of Shaofu would surely corrupt people's xinxing.
He reminded himself that he is always reflecting on him and he must not lose the trust of the empress.
Gu Jiu sent Deng Cunli, ready to rest for half an hour.
Ma Xiaoliu, the maid, walked in quietly with a ledger, "Qizi Niangniang, the archives have already figured out a preliminary tax pre-collection budget."
"bring here."
According to ten taxes and one tax paid by the whole people, deducting part of the land that needs tax exemption for the three-year buffer, and according to the number of acres registered by the Sihai Butcher Shop, it is possible to estimate the tax amount for this year's autumn harvest.
As long as the tax collection is smooth, the deviation will not be too great.
The ledger is fairly fine, and the statistics are based on the county government.
As Gu Jiu turned page by page, his expression became more and more serious.
Ma Xiaoliu's heart tightened, "Is the empress not satisfied with this budget?"
"No, I am very satisfied."
Because of satisfaction, she knew that Shaofu had to bear ten times more pressure than she expected.
why?
Because the tax rate is low, the tax rate is low. According to the budget, the tax collected will be five to ten times more than in previous years.
This data is terrible!
This budget, once the news leaks, officials all over the world will have to jump and scold their mothers with anger. Perhaps it would directly lead the uprising and reverse the Liu dynasty.
why?
Because the extra tax is from the pockets of officials all over the world.
