In order to implement the new tax system promulgated by the Ningyuan Bofu, establish a fair and effective new tax system, reduce the burden on the people and increase income.At the same time, the fiscal and taxation system that had been implemented for more than [-] years was quietly abolished, so that the finances of Guangdong and Guangxi were synchronized with those of Nanzhong.

If these two goals are to be achieved, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the number, location, type, grade and property rights of the fields belonging to various states, counties, towns and towns. Otherwise, the new taxation and land tax system reform will be empty talk.

Although the Southern Guangdong Army began to infiltrate the Guangdong and Guangxi regions several years ago, and has experienced a series of tasks such as suppressing bandits and rebellion, resisting the British Red-haired Barbarians, and promoting the construction of grassroots organizations such as work teams in various places, now It has already begun to take shape, but it is still far behind the state capitals in Nanzhong, and it is impossible to know the whole area well and use it like a finger.

The total number of acres of land is easy to handle. Although there are many fields belonging to family land, public land, and sacrificial land, and a large amount of land is exempt from payment of grain, but through the in-depth investigations of the work team over the years, and the students of the Surveying and Mapping School In addition to surveying and mapping mountains, rivers, forests, ponds and other matters, I also carried out data surveying and mapping of various fields. Through surveying and mapping, I have mastered some data. It is not far from mastering the accurate number, grade and location of fields in the whole province. relatively large data calculations.However, the issue of land property rights cannot be investigated by simple surveying and mapping.

To investigate the property rights, you have to Zhang Tian.Re-declaration and surveying and mapping are not only extremely laborious and labor-intensive, but also have great resistance. In feudal society, whenever it is necessary to expand the land, except for the establishment of a new dynasty, it is easy to do when the old things are reformed. The strong backlash from the social class often ends in nothing.

now.Around the implementation of this new tax regulation, the secret wrestling between the Southern Guangdong Army and the officials, subordinates, and scholars in Guangdong and Guangxi began around this most basic data!

First of all, Jiang Yihong is also the governor of Guangdong.Official documents were issued to all provinces, prefectures and counties, requiring all localities to re-register land surveys on the grounds that a large number of farmlands were deserted after the bandit rebellion in Guangdong and Guangxi.

When this official document was sent down to the prefectures and counties, all the masters of money and grain and household clerks from all over the place frowned and carefully pondered the hidden meaning behind this official document with their glasses on.By re-registration, it is true that the land that everyone snatched from others in private can be legitimately put under their own name, but according to the new regulations on taxation, money and grain collection, the more land there is.The more money and food paid.

Therefore, under the "kindly" suggestion of Mr. Qian Liang, officials from various states and counties issued letters to the higher authorities, requesting that the taxation be divided into several steps. First, the measurement and clearing of the land and fields should be completed first.Register after finding out the base number.

While measuring the acres of land, a new Yulin book should be drawn, and the land property rights and taxation status should be re-registered.This was not a trivial matter in ancient society, and it often took the initiative of the imperial court to hold it. In the history of Ming Dynasty, apart from Zhang Tian's painting of fish scale books in the Hongwu period, only Zhang Juzheng in the early Wanli years had done Zhang Tian.Every time Zhang Tian, ​​not only the Ministry of Household Affairs and the province have to send special officials to handle it, but also recruit students from the whole province to assist.The time is not one or two months can be completed.At least half a year or more.

In the eyes of everyone, how can such a huge project be carried out?I'm afraid that it won't be long before Ning Yuanbo's mansion will put an end to this vigorous reform of the tax system, and it will end sadly.How should everyone pay money and food or how to pay.

"However, Dong Weng, before Shangfeng officially dispatches Qingzhang personnel down, Dong Weng should also issue a notice ordering all villages and towns to complete this year's summer grain payment and autumn grain collection! At the same time, the money and grain owed by each household over the years, You must also follow up clearly. In this way, even if Shangfeng knows, he will also praise you for being diligent in business!"

Someone planned to use this time difference to make a fortune.Extra rice was added wantonly.The extreme seriousness in cleaning up the accumulated money and food over the years has caused complaints from the gentry and the villagers. After collecting almost all the money and food of the Shengdou people and filling their own pockets, they will conspire with the big gentry to stage a scene of turmoil between the gentry and the people. In the end, Uncle Ning Yuan was humiliated and accepted the charter.

For a time, states and counties in the Pearl River Delta were tossed about by the wave of urging money and food.The peasants who thought they could drink tea and eat food easily were once again confused by the tax collectors who came to the door to urge them to pay.

In previous years, in addition to the county government issuing notices and distributing "grain by" as usual, that is, after the reminder notice, a cabinet was set up in front of the official warehouse in the county to collect grain, waiting for the farmers in the four townships and eight towns to pick up the rice by themselves. Come to pay food.It is not until this stage is over that they enter the stage of going to the countryside to call for conscription.But this year is different. Almost all the subordinates of the county household registers have gone to the countryside to urge the payment of money and food, and at the same time create a great momentum for Zhang Tian.

All of a sudden, from big landowners who own thousands of acres of paddy fields to tens of thousands of acres of mountain forests, to ordinary farmers with only a few acres of Susukida, all feel uneasy.

As the beneficiaries of the original tax system - the gentry are naturally unwilling to engage in this so-called tax reform, and they are even more hostile to the first step of the tax reform and the ensuing confirmation of rights.No matter how bastard and unreasonable the original tax system is, they have already thrived under this system and become the biggest beneficiaries.If this new taxation system starts to be implemented, it will inevitably have to hand over a lot of money and grain every summer and autumn. If the higher authorities play a game of recovering the money and grain owed over the years for the sake of political achievements, then they will be in great trouble.

Thinking about the money and food that I have owed over the years, as well as the benefits I have obtained through methods such as flying, sending, and registering accounts, the big gentry and food households are very unwilling!It is good for the Southern Guangdong Army to fight against chaos!Defending the ancestral homeland and suppressing the thieves and foreign barbarians is even more unsuccessful. However, the old man Ning Yuan did not know who listened to the bewitchment, and he actually wanted to re-measure the acres and register the property rights. Isn't this clearly a nuisance to the people and a disturbance among the people? ? !

There are also landlords who are less courageous and powerful, wondering whether they will be dragged to the front of the yamen to show the public because they owe too much money and food for too long.According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the common people and gentry had to go to the county to pay the grain on time after receiving the grain payment notice.The time limit is divided into first limit, second limit, and third limit. Once the third limit is passed, it will enter the stage of chasing. The board, which is even more embarrassing, is the one that is displayed to the public.Kneeling in front of the yamen wearing a wooden shackle that weighed more than ten kilograms or tens of kilograms, he was hit with a stick by the guards from time to time.He even chanted his crimes loudly in his mouth, because he was put under the shackles for public display.

However, the Great Ming law has been abandoned for many years, and many places are just saying that.

Generally, people with a little face and influence in the local area will hand over a famous post with their own fame and title.Explain who I was in the same year, who was in the same subject, who was the brother in the same school, and it’s too late for the Yamen to fawn on me, so how dare I act like this?This is the reason why the so-called government should not offend the rich.If you encounter that kind of local ruffian and green-skinned rascal, although he has no power, but he is a piece of hob meat that can't be steamed or cooked, there is nothing the yamen can do.Landlords who are more than enough than their peers are friends with the housekeepers, negotiate conditions, and haggle over how much rice is consumed.As for those elders who have returned to their hometowns after returning to their official positions.Officials at the prefecture and county levels have to go to the mansion at any time to ask the elders for advice on local political affairs. How much fertile land they have, they will not hand over a grain of rice or a penny to the court. Even if the prefecture and county yamen know I had no choice but to turn a blind eye and close my eyes, and those local officials who wanted to curry favor would help cover it up.

Master Xu Jiexu who labeled Yan Song and his son as corrupt criminals and colluded with Japanese pirates in an attempt to rebel.In the hometown of Songjiang, there are [-] mu of good land, and Dong Qichang, the Minister of Rites of the Wanli Dynasty, has even more fields. Who charges them a penny of imperial grain and national tax?

Now that Uncle Ning Yuan is here, he wants to take a lot of money and food from our pockets?This kind of thing has long been clearly taught by Confucius, "Which is tolerable and which cannot be tolerated?" This kind of thing cannot be tolerated!

then.When the work teams stationed in villages, towns, and counties all over the country began to clean up and measure the land under their jurisdiction with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and clarified whether it was raw or cooked, paddy field or dry field, mountainous land or forest land, the gentry The counterattack of the big grain households began quietly.

The first to discover this trend was Wu Liuqi's Unit of the First Mixed Brigade stationed in Foshan, Nanhai, and Bao'an.

Countless headless posts are posted in ancestral halls, theater buildings, teahouses, restaurants, etc.All kinds of rumors were spread in private, and the big gentlemen took advantage of their own culture and discourse power to make the tax regulations and land clearing quite decent, which sounded very reasonable and out of context.

"Have you heard? After clearing Zhang's field this time, everyone's positive amount will more than double! And only silver dollars will be accepted!"

"Also. For the donated fields everywhere, whose name is registered, it is clear who they belong to! In the past, in order to save some money and food, everyone deposited the fields in the names of the masters, but now they all belong to the masters. Look! That person came out to speak well of Uncle Ningyuan’s regulations, that must be because there are a lot of fields donated under his name! He wants to take this opportunity to swallow up everyone’s fields!"

"My friend in the yamen said that there is a decree from above that as long as there is no land, it must be shipped thousands of miles overseas to work in the mines tens of miles deep! Together with the bull head and horse noodles!"

"Several uncles, the hundreds of acres of paddy fields under the name of the ancestral hall in our clan were originally purchased for the repair of the ancestral hall, anti-smuggling, and the study of the descendants of the clan. It's going to blow over."

According to rumors, the rice consumption of floating income will be cancelled, and the standard of the positive item will be slightly raised. The so-called consumption will be borne by the public, and the positive amount will be doubled.Instead of collecting broken silver, and at the same time canceling the policy of fire consumption, it has also changed to only collecting silver dollars on the basis of double the grain collection.

And counting how many lands were donated to evade taxes, and re-certifying and registering the title is to turn these lands into lands under whose name.By the way, I played a trick of poisoning in a well, and told everyone that whoever comes out to speak well of this tax regulation will benefit from it.Some people who have a clearer mind and can see clearly the words in this charter do not dare to come out to explain to the people around them.

Using sea boats to transport people who lack land and have no means of livelihood and sources to Nanzhong, Siam, and even Shizhou to cultivate wasteland, mine, and log. After a while, it becomes a link in the chain of evil purposes.

As a result, self-cultivating farmers who support their families by cultivating a few acres of Susukida, and supervisors who record other people's land in their own names in order to earn a little land rent, have to pay the rent, money, food, and silver for renting and planting other people's land. The tenants were all panicked by the overwhelming rumors.

"Boss! The uncles in our family also asked someone to send a letter. The Chaozhou countryside has also started to farm, and rumors are flying all over the sky. Several uncles want to ask you to find out what the above is thinking. This field, can you still use it? Can it be planted?"

Several military officers from the same village as Wu Liuqi, or from the same clan, worriedly held letters from their respective homes.Trying to get some accurate inside information from Wu Liuqi.

"You guys!" Wu Liuqi put down the iron stick in his hand, took the towel handed over by the soldiers and wiped the sweat from his forehead and face, "On weekdays, you are asked to read and write, and you all said that you have something to do, so you turned around and ran to the flower boat to drink flower wine !"

Hearing the reprimand from the chief and eldest brother, the officers felt a lot more at ease.With a smile on his face, someone hastily took the purple sand teapot from the soldier's hand, poured a cup of Kung Fu tea for Wu Liuqi, and held it in front of Wu Liuqi with both hands.

"Boss, drink tea!"

"Huh! In the army, we must call the brigade commander!" He joked.Wu Liuqi took a sip of tea, and asked these old brothers seriously, "I ask you, do you have any distinctions between distant and distant relatives, my lord?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately changed their expressions.They all shook their heads, and that person even said: "If you want to say that the lord is not good to us, I will be the first to fight him!"

The life of the First Mixed Brigade was really good. The officers were originally worried because after Wu Biao was duped by the court, the Southern Guangdong Army would treat this army that defected halfway. The shoes were thrown like raindrops.They are the first to think of them when they are killed in war, and they don't have a share in things that are a little bit beneficial.But he didn't want to, Shou Han allotted all the troops who ran out from Wu Biao's troops to Wu Liuqi, and gave a mixed brigade the designation, not to mention a 150-gun artillery team, and [-] troops. A cavalry battalion of people.As for the detachments such as the heavy soldiers, the medical soldiers and the health battalions.has also been expanded.

This kind of treatment naturally made the whole mixed brigade grateful, especially after the Zheng Zhilong brothers were captured in the First World War in Xiamen, the soldiers of the first mixed brigade talked to others with their nostrils upturned. hour.These guys will be a little more polite.After all, the Dongfan soldiers charged the forts under the artillery fire of Zheng's army, opening the way for the whole army.

Shou Han once ordered the Military Division and the Battalion Office to ask Wu Liuqi for his opinion. The troops need to be expanded and upgraded. With the expansion of the territory, the field troops in the original six towns are no longer enough. The number of Qizhen is his.

Unexpectedly, this suggestion was rejected by Wu Liuqi.

"After our old Wu makes a few more military exploits for the lord, let's upgrade to a town! The number brothers of the first mixed brigade think it's pretty good!"

In desperation, Shou Han had no choice but to shake his head, and asked the Military Division and the Battalion Office to draw up a new plan. Among the garrison brigades in various places, select troops with military exploits and stronger combat effectiveness, and follow Wu Liuqi's precedent to expand into a mixed brigade. Brigade, and then gradually upgraded to a town in the future.

"My lord treats us the same as the troops of the old Nanzhong Army. Then, my lord will treat the territory of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian as the same as treating all places in Nanzhong." Wu Liuqi was drinking tea and motioned several subordinates to sit on the chairs and drink tea. eat dessert.

"You have all been to Hue, Ha Tinh, Cam Ranh, etc. You all know the tax situation there. It seems that there are a lot of taxes, but the life of the farmers is also very enjoyable and happy. .”

Everyone fell silent immediately.They have also seen the tax situation in various parts of Nanzhong. On the face of it, the amount is indeed very high, but the actual burden of the people is not as moderate as that in the mainland.

"There are not so many floating harvests and losses. Farmers' life is naturally much easier."

Wu Liuqi broke the secret with one word.

"And the lord himself took the lead in setting an example and paying taxes and food in person. Which officials at all levels dare to stroke the tiger's beard?"

"Brigade Commander," the guys said as their memory grew, and they no longer called Wu Liuqi the boss.Small flames flickered in his eyes, "What do you mean, this trend, the rumors everywhere, are all the wind released by those officials and wealthy gentry?"

"We are a mixed brigade, but we started the uprising by fighting against taxes and food. This dirty thing between the Guangdong government's collection of food and taxes, others don't know, but we don't know?"

With a cold laugh, a sinister smile appeared on Wu Liuqi's face.

"You guys, do these few things for me after you go back..."

Soon, urgent family letters were sent from the barracks of the First Mixed Brigade to various counties in Chaozhou by people from the Letter Bureau. Wu's family, Liang's family, Lin's family, etc. The letters of the children in the army explained in detail how the new tax system was collected and its benefits to ordinary people.

The rumors in Chaozhou Prefecture were gradually quelled, and people began to wait with anticipation for the work team to clear the land.

However, the trend in the Pearl River Delta region is intensifying.

Wu Liuqi ordered that, with the exception of a few purchasers, the soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade were not allowed to go out without special orders.

"The whole army is on alert!"
