Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1205
"Increasing taxes is the emperor's will. As long as Mr. Zheng obeys, nothing will happen. If you protect you, you will be in trouble. So when you are still on your side, you'd better cherish it and don't make trouble!" Qin Sanlang was afraid that they would not understand, so he broke it up and told them.

Fortunately, the big guy understood, and cried and begged: "Qin Baihu, we were wrong, we won't make trouble anymore, we must wait for the county magistrate."

However, some folks felt that this tax was a sudden disaster and they should not pay it. They said: "Qin Baihu, can we not not pay this tax? Even if there is a new bank to lend us money to pay the tax, we will have to pay the debt. ...Since the drought in the Northwest, the taxes in our south have become much heavier, and we can no longer sustain it, and if we come back again, we will really sell our sons and daughters."

In the end, I was so sad that I wiped my tears.

When other villagers saw them, they also shed tears, and some even covered their faces and cried bitterly.

"Grandma, don't cry... Brother Qian is scared."

"Grandpa, are we going to be sold if we don't pay the money? Wuwuwu, don't sell us, we will find a job and earn money for the family."

These old people brought a lot of children here, and they just wanted the county magistrate to take pity on them for the sake of the children.But the children were timid, and when they saw their grandparents crying, they also burst into tears.

For a while, the gate of the yamen was full of crying.

Many yamen servants, soldiers, and onlookers cried. Although Luo Wu held back and tried not to think about the past in the Northwest, his eyes were still red.

Only Qin Sanlang's face remained unchanged, he looked at them and said: "The emperor wants to collect the tax. If you don't pay it, you will resist the edict. You will end up punishing the whole family. Only by paying the tax can you survive. I'm done here. Do it for yourself."

After Qin Sanlang finished speaking, he told Zhang Zhong and Luo Wu: "You guys watch here, keep an eye on it, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes." Zhang Zhong's eyes were also red, but he believed in Qin Baihu, he would definitely not harm the villagers.

Qin Sanlang didn't stay long, and left with a step forward, but instead of going through the main entrance of the yamen, he detoured to the back door of the yamen, entered the yamen from the back door, and went to see the county magistrate Zheng.

County magistrate Zheng didn't rest all day and all night. At this moment, his eyes were blood red, and his eyes were black and black. He was counting the accounts of the yamen with Master Qian Liang and ten clerks, and wanted to dig out some money to pay taxes.

No matter how much can be dug out, in short, it can reduce the burden on the common people.

After two days of calculation, I finally figured it out.

"My lord, our yamen is not in short supply, it is eight thousand three hundred and seventy four taels of silver!" Master Qian Liang shouted joyfully, but because he hadn't slept all night, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

"Really?!" County magistrate Zheng snatched the account book from Master Qianliang, and when he saw the amount of silver at the bottom, he laughed loudly: "Okay, well, with these more than 8000 taels, the common people can Pay less taxes."

Don't think that 8000 yuan is too little. Many counties in Dachu are in a deficit, and it is rare to be able to pay more money.

Qin Sanlang heard this as soon as he entered the courtyard, knocked on the door, walked in, and asked: "Are you really going to give this money to the people to pay taxes?"

"Sanlang is here." County magistrate Zheng was very happy to see Qin Sanlang. If he hadn't been guarding the gate of the yamen these two days, he would not have been able to work with peace of mind. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Well, with this money, The burden on the people can also be lightened.”

Qin Sanlang: "This is a drop in the bucket. It can't save the people of the whole county at all, and it is very likely to bring death to the adults."

The anti-army tax alone is one tael per person, not one tael per household. There is also double the poll tax and grain tax, which are shared equally on everyone's head, at least two taels per person.Tianfu County is a large county close to the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of no less than 8000. What can more than [-] taels be enough for?
County Magistrate Zheng was splashed with cold water, and his face was ugly, but he knew that Saburo was doing it for his own good... The emperor lacked money, and according to the criminal law of the Great Chu, the extra money from the county government and the government government was to be paid along with the money and food. Sent to Beijing.

"This officer must not be the only one who did this. This officer will give the capital an offer in advance. With Mr. Zheng here, nothing will happen~" County Magistrate Zheng said at the end, his voice was a little weak.

At such a time, the most important thing for Mr. Zheng to do is to stand firmly on the emperor's side, otherwise he might lose the trust of the emperor. Once Mr. Zheng loses the trust of the emperor, it will be the beginning of the downfall for the Zheng family.

The big aristocratic families and the adults in the capital are very aware of the consequences of helping the common people, so they all pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignore them, and just want to protect themselves.

"Qin Baihu, you are also a farmer, how can you say such a thing? Don't you feel sad when you face the villagers who carry the coffin outside and bring their children for two days?" Fang Xiancheng is young, and there are some scholars Feeling angry, he was very disappointed with Qin Sanlang's words, and began to accuse him in a bad tone.

Qin Sanlang was not angry, but smiled, and bowed his fists to Zheng County Magistrate and Fang County Chancellor, and said: "Thank you for your humbleness, both adults care about the common people, but embezzling the county government's money will indeed bring money to the county magistrate." Dangerous, since I saw the danger, I naturally wanted to talk about it. And I already have a solution here, and I can't let the adults embezzle the money of the county government."

"The law of both? What is the law of both? Sanlang, tell me quickly." County magistrate Zheng's eyes lit up, and he hurried over, grabbing Qin Sanlang's arm and said.

Qin Sanlang: "Confiscated the house, ransacked the Gao family in Xianggui Town."

He found out that Mr. Gao and old man Shi wanted to make trouble in the yamen, and finally bought the fields and population of the villagers at a low price.

"Master Gao came from a poor family, and his family is full of ill-gotten gains. This time, he took advantage of the tax chaos and wanted to buy the fields and children of the villagers at a low price. He should have copied the Gao family to scare the rest of the people who want to take the opportunity. The villain who bought the property of the villagers at a low price."

Qin Sanlang looked at Zheng County Magistrate, and said: "The Gao family's property in Xianggui Township is more than ten thousand taels. If you ransack his house, you can get much more silver than what is listed in the yamen's account."

Fang Xiancheng gasped after hearing this, looked at Qin Sanlang, and took a few steps back unconsciously: "No wonder others nicknamed you King of Hades, you really are not an easy boss."

Ah, Saburo, I just said something to you for my brother, so don't take it to heart.

"Hahaha, what king of hell? Sanlang is just doing things for the folks. Besides, the Gao family is doing it on their own. If the Gao family doesn't engage in these heresies, no evidence of crime will fall into our hands, and the yamen can't copy him. Home!" Jiang Qi walked in with big strides, patted Qin Sanlang on the shoulder, and said: "Good boy, well done, I really did not misunderstand you, you are capable of great things."
