Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 494 Allocate the counties, Xu Da is in charge

The leaders among the dozen or so officials were three officials dressed in green robes of silk egrets, and they bowed to Xia Yunyi one after another when they met each other.

"Xiong Rulin, head of the Department of Land Taxation Department of the Household Department / Zhang Xianguang, head of the Land and Mu Statistics Department of the Household Department / Chen Zilong, head of the Population Statistics Department, met Xia Tongzhi."

Among the three, Xiong Rulin's name Xia Yunyi is widely heard, Chen Zilong is his good friend, only Zhang Xianguang does not know him.

Regardless of personal relationship during official business, Xia Yunyi smiled back and said: "You three are polite, it's cold and windy outside, why don't you talk in the yamen?"

Xiong Rulin said with a straight face: "Business is urgent, let's assign people outside.

This time, in the eight counties of Yingtianfu, the household department will send [-] to [-] Qingzhang commissioners to each county, led by a Qingzhang envoy.

As a cooperation, the government office should divide the officials who understand the situation of household registration fields in each county into eight teams, and go to the countryside in cooperation with the Qingzhang commissioner.Xia Tongzhi should have received the notice, are you ready? "

Seeing Xiong Rulin's resolute appearance, Xia Yunyi was not angry, but simply replied: "Of course."

Immediately with a wave of his hand, the officials of the household department behind him also divided into eight teams.

There are only four or five people in each team. Although they all wear the uniforms of government officials, their aura is far inferior to that of the more than 1000 Qingzhang commissioners.

Seeing this, Xiong Rulin nodded slightly, and then asked: "How many Qing Zhang commissioners should be sent to each county? Has Xia Tongzhi prepared a plan here?"

Xia Yunyi asked a secretary to hand over the prepared documents, and said: "Here is the commissioner's distribution plan. If there is anything unreasonable, the three of you can just point it out."

So, in this cold wind, Xiong Rulin, Chen Zilong, and Zhang Xianguang flipped through the documents with their hands.

They didn't count it after reading it, and handed it to two women among the green-robed officials.

"Wei clerk and Ming clerk, please take a look."

After Chen Zilong handed the document to the two women, he introduced to Xia Yunyi in a slightly lower voice: "These two are clerks of the secretariat, both of whom are proficient in mathematics, among them, clerk Wei is the chief mathematics teacher of this commissioner. This time, His Majesty specially sent me to assist us in Qingzhang Tianmu, so we must not wait too long."

The preliminary document was relatively simple. Wei Yao and Ming Shilan read it quickly and returned it to Chen Zilong and others.

Ming Shilan said: "There is no problem with the plan at the moment. If something is wrong in the subsequent actions, it can be adjusted again."

The three of Chen Zilong nodded, and then assigned Qingzhang commissioners to each county according to Xia Yunyi's plan.

In this way, Commissioner Qingzhang arrived at the government office at 08:30 to listen to the dispatch, and set off for the counties before [-]:[-].

Although Yingtianfu is not small, all counties are basically connected by water and land, and the imperial court also prepared mules or donkeys for Commissioner Qingzhang to ride on.

At the same time, the second town of the imperial guards transferred back from the north also sent eight thousand generals to accompany them in the name of protecting the safety of the "Commissioner Qingzhang".

Whether it was the Qingzhang detachment or the imperial guards, the journey was relatively fast. Those who were close to the target arrived before noon, and those far away arrived before dark.

Among the eight counties in Yingtian Mansion, the landowners in Shangyuan and Jiangning counties attached to Nanjing are relatively well informed, and they heard the news a day or two ago.

However, most of the landlords in the other six counties learned the relevant news from the local county government last night or this morning. …

They thought that the Qingzhang team sent by the imperial court would come in three to five days, but they didn't expect to come the same day they received the news.

Among them, Shangyuan and Jiangning counties began to clear Zhang Tianmu on the same day...
in the afternoon.

Jiangning County, a certain farm.

The chief manager of the farm, Xu Changyuan, was sitting in a rocking chair after lunch, listening to the newly married eighth concubine singing.

Xu Changyuan, like Xu Changfu, the chief steward of Wei Guogong's mansion, is the son of the Xu family and an ancestor.It is said that the ancestor was Xu Da's personal soldier, who was arranged by Xu Da to serve as a servant at home because he was injured and disabled in the battlefield.

Although they are both elders, but Xu Changyuan and Xu Changfu have been out of five clothes for a long time, so he can be the chief steward of this farm, not because of his relationship, but also because of his ability.

More than ten years ago, when he first took over the farm, there were only more than [-] mu of paddy fields below, and more than [-] mu of mulberry forests, orchards, and dry land.

But now there are nearly 5000 mu of paddy fields and more than [-] mu of mulberry forests!
Xu Changyuan believed that he was entitled to enjoy so many "contributions" to Duke Wei's mansion.Besides, the other managements of the manor are living like the master. If he is not better, wouldn't he appear to be out of the group?

Therefore, Xu Changyuan built a large house covering an area of ​​nearly ten mu in a village with the largest number of tenants on the farm, and married eight concubines in succession.

In the past two years, as he got older, he became obsessed with listening to music.

If you want to talk about singing songs, it is natural that some famous Qinhuai prostitutes who are famous for their singing songs are the best, such as Li Xiangjun.

It's a pity that even though he inherited a lot of family wealth and made tens of thousands of taels of silver in the past ten years, he still couldn't afford a famous Qinhuai prostitute.

Even if he went all out to buy it, those famous Qinhuai prostitutes who valued his reputation would definitely look down on him.

Therefore, Xu Changyuan picked up a few girls with good singing voices from the tenants under his hand, and used some tricks to get these tenants to "voluntarily" sell their daughters to him as maids.

Then, after more than a year of hand-in-hand teaching, he was able to train such a baby that he was quite satisfied with from a few maids, and married him as a concubine.

The sun in the winter afternoon was very comfortable, and listening to the song of my concubine Yiyi, Xu Changyuan fell asleep quickly.

However, after a while, he heard the sound of a gong outside——

when!
"Listen up, folks, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, and from today onwards, Tianfu Qingzhang Tianmu..."

Hearing the strangely loud yelling after the sound of the gong, Xu Changyuan sat up all of a sudden, completely drowsy!
'Qingzhang Tianmu?how so fast ! '

After being shocked, Xu Changyuan got up and called for someone.After a while, he brought more than a dozen entourages to the crowd gathering place at the entrance of the village.

But I saw ten people wearing strange indigo uniforms, pointing to a piece of paper pasted on it and explaining something under the big locust tree.

There is actually a team of Imperial Guards a little farther away!

Xu Changyuan's heart sank, and he quickly approached to listen to what those people said.

"Folks, this time the imperial court will not only clear the land, but also share the land.

You all know about Qingzhang's farmland, just to find out how many farmlands each family has.

If your land was donated to Duke Wei, you must cooperate with the imperial court to get the land back and pay taxes normally. "

Hearing this, even if the surrounding people were afraid of the guards next to them, they couldn't help commotion.

"We are all tenants of Wei Guogong, why should we be asked to pay taxes?"

"The land rent is already high enough, and we are still required to pay taxes? Do we have to force us to die?"

"If I had known that the tenants of Wei Guogong's family would have to pay taxes, I would not have given the land to Wei Guogong."

"Didn't everyone say that His Majesty is a fairy who came down to earth and treats the people very well? Why do you want to collect taxes from us?"

"The things these people said can't be false, can they?"
