Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 668 If you want to be promoted, it is not enough to rely on food

Fan Yingyun has lived in Weihu County for generations, and his ancestors have managed it for generations. He also has more than [-] acres of land in the local area. Previously, these lands were exempt from taxation, but according to the regulations of this new policy, his family will have to pay them from this year. A lot of food.

Years ago, the news that Lu Xiangsheng was planning to kill people in Nanjing had been sent to all prefectures and counties in Daming in the form of official documents by the imperial court. The meaning of this warning was very obvious. He didn't dare to promise Fan Yingyun anything in this matter.

Judging from the current relationship between the three of them, it is not difficult for the Fan family to turn their two thousand acres of land into one thousand as long as they close their eyes when clearing Zhang Zhang's land. , As for whether it is enough to be decapitated, no one can say for sure.

"The words of the county lord are justified.

Lao Fan, although we have a very close friendship, I have to remind you that the new policy concerns the overall situation, and you must not try to make money out of the fire. If anyone finds out, it will not only ruin your future, but also ruin your Nanjing family. Which one of the people in the family is not the top generation in the past, and what is the result? "

Cui Shisheng is usually not greedy for drinking, and he also tastes such a high-value new wine. He has not finished his first glass of wine until now, and his mind has been kept sober.

Like Tian Yinong, he also guessed that Fan Yingyun planned to let the two of them relax on the New Deal in order to reduce their own losses.

But he will never get involved in this matter. This is a matter related to his own future. Other things are easy to talk about. How many pairs of eyes are secretly watching this matter.

"Hey, Xianzun and Wencheng, you two have misunderstood.

Although Fan's family has a lot of land, he can get several thousand shi of grain in two seasons a year, but it is only more than a thousand taels of income, and paying [-]% to pay taxes is only a few hundred taels of silver.

Although Fan's family is not considered rich, they are not short of these few hundred taels.

Besides, the county lord has been getting along with Fan for some years. Does the county lord know what I am like?

Don't worry, the new policy of the imperial court is beneficial to the country, how can I be so ignorant of the general situation? "

Fan Yingyun picked up the wine jar with a smile, and explained while refilling the wine for the two.

After Tian Yinong and Cui Shisheng looked at each other, they both nodded in agreement with Fan Yingyun's statement.

Although Fan Yingyun has quite a family fortune, it has been accumulated through several generations of management. The Fan family has settled in Weihu County for more than 100 years. It has always been a good family with a good reputation locally. out.

In the past few years, Fan Yingyun has provided a large amount of food and rice to help the victims, which has relieved a lot of pressure on the local government. In addition, he is diligent and conscientious in his work, and he is generous in the world. Highly recommend when reviewing.

Before a large number of refugees resettled in Weihu County, due to the vast land and sparse population and various outdated facilities, the annual taxes paid to the imperial court had always been very small, so it had always been listed as a lower county. Relatively dim.

However, since the ninth year of Chongzhen, a large number of refugees were moved here, and various funds from the imperial court poured in like water, and the people in the county government who had been idle for more than a hundred years were unconsciously involved in this great change in the tide.

Under the supervision and supervision of high-paid support officials, censors, and Jinyi Xiaowei, the entire county government, from the county magistrate to the government officials, is busy from morning to night, running around all day for refugee resettlement, distribution of rations according to the head of the person, and various other tasks. Farm tools, leading the people to dig wells and repair canals, and open up wasteland and fields are a series of complicated things.

With the implementation of various measures to benefit the people, Weihu County, which has not attracted much attention, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only is the population and fields of the entire county increasing dramatically, but also because the aborigines have also benefited from it, the food production has increased year after year, which has made the annual taxes paid by Weihu County several times. The magistrate of Weihu County had a happy event of promotion.

The implementation of the new policy of gentry and gentry paying grain this time will not put too much pressure on Weihu County.

the reason is simple.

There are not many decent big families in the entire county, and the Fan family with more than 2000 mu of land can be counted among them.

Just a few days ago, Tian Yinong specially summoned the big households in the county, announced to them the new policy of the imperial court, and informed them of the fate of some people in Nanjing who deliberately resisted the imperial court. The result was not surprising, although he felt very conflicted , but the dozen or so gentry who were frightened by the Nanjing incident all said on the spot that they must abide by the imperial court regulations, pay taxes in full and on time, and will never add chaos to the government.

With the stance of the big households and Fan Yingyun's statement today, Tian Yinong and Cui Shisheng were completely relieved.

"Xianzun, you have tasted wine for many years, what do you think of this new wine? If it is put on the market, will it be popular?"

Fan Yingyun picked up the wine cup and made a gesture of invitation to Tian and Cui, and then took a sip, a dizzy and extremely comfortable feeling rippling in her heart.

"I don't know how this wine is brewed. After drinking it, I realized that the wine I drank before is like dregs. If it is sold on the market, it must be a best seller in my northwest."

After Tian Yinong took a sip, he narrowed his eyes and thought about it, stroked his beard and praised unabashedly.

"Old Fan, could it be that you have the means to buy this wine in bulk and want to sell it in the Northwest?

If this is really the case, you will make a lot of money. At that time, it is impossible to say that the county lord and I will come to your house every day to eat rich people. Don't you want to despise me, haha! "

Cui Shisheng joked with a smile.

"I don't have such skills, but if the county lord and Wen Cheng are willing to come, I'm not too happy yet.

Xianzun and Wencheng, I wonder if you two have thought about what the future holds for us?
To tell you the truth, I have thought about it in secret now. The current situation in our Ming Dynasty has never been seen in 200 years. The various measures promulgated by the Holy One in the past few years are unprecedented. Recognize the situation clearly and follow closely, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead! "

Fan Yingyun's cheeks were slightly flushed, but his eyes were even brighter.

"What Lao Fan thinks is the truth. Since he is an official, there is no need to shy away from talking about the future. Listen to your words. Could there be some clever plan?"

Hearing that it was about the future, Tian Yinong immediately cheered up. He leaned forward a little, stared at Fan Yingyun and urged, and Cui Shisheng beside him also looked concerned.

Tian Yinong had already given up his thoughts on advancing his official career, and only wanted to get through the door, transfer to a place with better conditions at the same level, enjoy a few years of blessings, and then hand over his book to become an official.

Unexpectedly, the situation has suddenly changed so much in the past few years. As long as the political performance is outstanding, it is not an unattainable luxury to take a step forward. This makes his cold heart become hot again.

Judging from what Fan Yingyun said, he should have thought of some novel and outstanding idea. It would be great if it is really reliable.

　Thank you Red Sword for your reward.
