The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 294 Guess What?

"Demotions are divided into four levels. The first-level demotions can be used according to the original position according to the similarities between our official system and the Dazheng and Beixiang official systems. The second-level demotions are used by one level. The third-level demotions are used by two levels. There is no need to be demoted to the fourth level and dismissed from office!
Demotion should be determined based on merit and demerit.Those who have cooperated with the military government to stabilize the people, transport refugees, preserve local money, food, and registers will be ranked first!After the military government returns to power, those who actively contact the military government to seek effectiveness, do not take advantage of the chaos, and have certain administrative capabilities are second class!Those who had no bad reputation when they were officials and were proficient in writing were classified as the third class.The rest are rated fourth grade!

All demotions have a one-year probationary period. Those who can perform their duties dutifully during the probationary period will be promoted to full-time positions! "

Demotion cannot be used without it, but it cannot be used entirely.Making good use of demoted officials will help stabilize the place as quickly as possible and win over people's hearts.A good policy of demotion and use can also greatly reduce resistance when occupying a place.

Of course, demotion cannot be used without principle, otherwise it will destroy the political ecological order of the entire system.

……

August is originally the harvest season for most areas in the Yungu area, but in areas like Qinzhou and Wazhou, the harvest season is earlier. The autumn harvest in these places has come to an end, and many farmers' autumn fields have almost finished harvesting.

Chen Erniu, a farmer on the outskirts of Qinzhou City, took his son and two trucks to the grain station in the town hall to pay tax.

Although we experienced a military disaster this year, it came and went quickly, and it had little impact on the harvest of farmers in Qinzhou.

Chen Erniu thought that if he paid the taxes and grain quickly, he would feel more at ease. Although the Yungu Army that occupied Qinzhou had a good reputation, he was still a little scared and panicked when he saw the Yungu Army that was dressed differently from Dazheng's army. .

These soldiers are more fierce than the army of Zheng's army. If he has evil thoughts and he is late in delivering food, he may cause trouble.

"Dad, after we pay the grain, do we have to go to the street to change some money and buy some things for our family like in previous years?" When we arrived at the town government grain station and were queuing up to pay the grain, Chen Erniu's son asked What are Dad’s plans after paying for the grain?As a half-grown boy, he has not yet felt too much hardship in life. What he is thinking about is that after he has money, he can buy more delicious food.

"Let's talk about it after paying the grain! Who knows if the grain you pulled this time will be enough to pay the tax? You are still thinking of exchanging money to change your greed!" Unlike his son, Chen Erniu was very uneasy at this time. What he was most afraid of was pulling the grain. There is not enough food to pay the tax.

A few days ago, officers from the Yungu Army went to various villages to lobby for this year's tax payment policy.It is said that only the regular tax is levied, and other assessments are exempted. The regular tax is the same as that in the Dazheng period and has not changed.

Chen Erniu and other farmers felt very strange after hearing this. According to this statement, it seems that they can pay more than [-]% less tax this year?
And such good things?Is Yun Gujun really so kind?Chen Erniu hopes that this is true, but is afraid that it is not true. What if they use some tricks when paying taxes, not only can they not pay less tax, but they also collect more?
With a dubious attitude, when Chen Erniu pulled grain from home this time, he pulled it according to the official tax amount. He just wanted to see if it was true or false.

After queuing for a long time, it was finally my turn.The tax collector ordered Chen Erniu and his son to carry the sacks of grain in the car to have them weighed.Weighed?This is different from the old days when the government used measures to collect taxes. When queuing up, Chen Erniu saw that the people in front were very happy after passing the scale. He was very puzzled and didn't understand why they were happy.

After weighing all the grain in the car, the official ordered Chen and his son to pour the grain in the sacks into the bucket of the grain station, and then tied up all the sacks and weighed them, saying that they were to be peeled!

"Chen Erniu, according to your land deed and the remaining grain after removing the skin, it is 260 kilograms more. The military government stipulates that the extra grain must be converted into money. The total money is 2260 Wen. This is 4 silver dollars. Add 260 pieces of paper money and the tax payment voucher. Take a look and sign it if there are no problems!" After the tax collector finished adding up the money, he took the money and the receipt and started to go through the tax payment procedures for Chen Erniu.

After receiving the money and bills handed over by the clerk, Chen Erniu drew up the deposit in a daze!
what happened?I obviously brought in the grain according to the amount I paid the regular tax, but why did I pay more and get more than four silver dollars in vain?
Chen Erniu didn't understand what was going on until he walked out of the grain station.

"Dad! Now that we have money, should we go to the street to buy some things for our family?" The son didn't have much to think about. When he saw that his father had money in his hand, he started to think about buying things.For ordinary farmers, cash is rarely available throughout the year. Rich days are rare, so we must seize the opportunity.

Chen Erniu couldn't figure out why there was so much food, so Chen Erniu didn't want to think about it anymore. Now that he had money in his hands, he really should buy some daily necessities for his family.So he took his son and an empty cart and went shopping on the street.

While shopping, he met Chen Dahao, a fellow villager. Chen Erniu couldn't help but tell him about the strange things he encountered when he paid grain.

"Er Niu, what a brain! Didn't you notice that the officials in Yungu used scales when collecting grain?" Chen Dahao saw that Chen Er Niu couldn't figure out the reason, so he quickly showed off.

"Is there any difference between using a scale and a bucket? Can a scale weigh more grain?"

"How much more can you weigh! Let me tell you this, in the past years, did people pay the grain officials to fight or not? Not only do we need to pretend that the grain is top-notch, but we also have people kick it a few times. Where did the overflowing grain go? Let me tell you, that grain didn't go into the granary. It all fell into the hands of the little people who collected it.

Yungu military scale harvests grain and weighs the amount.If no one takes advantage of this, can we pay less food? "

"So that's it? It's not that I don't know, it's shocking. Just by fighting and standing up, we would have to pay nearly [-]% more food in previous years. No wonder I said that some people have sharpened their heads and want to work in Liting If you don't have any money, you can't help collecting grains." After Chen Dahao reminded him, Chen Erniu suddenly understood why there was so much grain.

"You just want to understand? Mr. Kuishou of the Yungu Army has long known the secrets here. When he first started his career, he changed this bad government. The people in the Yungu Army have been involved in many more things than us. What light of years!
After all, Mr. Kuishou is one of our own people in Xisu Province, and all he thinks about is for our benefit.Not to mention anything else, just by paying taxes, each of our families can save food rations for one or two people this year, right?
Let me tell you that the people in the old land of Yungu enjoy more blessings than we do.When my aunt and her family were attacked by foreigners the year before last, they had no way of survival and fled to Wazhou. Guess what?Good guy, people are planning to build a brick house in Wazhou next spring.He also wrote a letter asking me to go to Wazhou to help his family build a house after I finish my farm work in the spring. Who would have thought of this? "Chen Dahao opened up the chatterbox and talked about the adventures of his sister-in-law and her family after they fled to Wazhou.
