The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 963 Remediation
"From tomorrow, we will strictly investigate the black households and let them pay me the personal tax.

Afterwards, it will be checked every two years. If anyone commits the crime twice in a row, each person will be fined 100 taels of silver each time.

If I find out who dares to seek selfishness, then don't blame me for being rude. "Bai Jingwen glanced at the people present and replied coldly.

The two major taxes are so exploiting loopholes, no wonder the treasury is getting more and more empty.

Even forcing the emperor to store more food is reluctant, but for those big households who have really benefited from it, asking them to provide some food is like something painful.

This also makes farmers' lives more difficult in disguise, and it will be difficult to avoid riots in the long run.

"Then what do you want to do next?" County Magistrate Zhou asked solemnly.

Now he suddenly regretted letting her participate in political affairs. If she followed her way of thinking, there might be a major turmoil in the county.

If he can persist, the tax revenue will increase greatly, but if he can't persist, then he will be in big trouble, and he can't explain to the court at all.

The complexions of the other officials were not much better either, obviously thinking of something with him.

"The next thing is to evade the land tax, and strictly follow my court's law.

The first thing is to send someone down to check and measure, to see if the recorded mu is correct. If the extra land is not claimed, it will be taken back directly.

Then, everyone was strictly investigated. The number of acres of fields recorded under the name exceeded the law, and no one claimed it, and it was taken back directly. "

"Isn't this measurement unnecessary? It's too manpower-intensive?" At this moment, the household official raised his head and said in embarrassment.

Others don't know, but does he know how many gifts he received and how much land he lost for them.How much land there is, a lot of it is currently being planted, and it has indeed been classified by him as sandy land, or barren land that cannot be planted.

"I think it's too tricky here?" Bai Jingwen stared at him with sharp eyes and said coldly when she saw his eyes dodge a little.

Then he went on to say: "If you feel that you are not competent, you can abdicate and make way for the virtuous. I think there will be many people who are willing to do it."

After he bowed his head and said nothing, Bai Jingwen glanced at everyone in the hall: "If the big family or the farmer refuses to accept it, you can let them move out of Taicang directly. Since you want to investigate, let me investigate thoroughly.

I don’t believe it anymore, the limited number of famous people in the county, and you guys can account for [-]% of the county’s land share, so I might as well not have this Taicang County, it is simply a burden to me. "

"You don't have to be afraid. If you feel that there is no guarantee of safety, I can ask the emperor or King Yi to borrow someone to ensure your safety." Bai Jingwen saw the anxious expressions on their faces, and deliberately misunderstood.

"No, we can handle it." Magistrate Zhou quickly shook his head and replied.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people don't fight with officials. If they can't handle this matter well, then they might not be able to keep their official positions.

Besides, the emperor has been investigating corruption very hard in the past two years, but there is an official in the county who is really clean. If the emperor or King Yi's people come, if something tricky is found out, it will kill them.

What's more, Bai Jingwen is a protector herself. If she can get her approval, their life will not necessarily be worse than it is now, so there is no need to alarm the higher-ups.

"That's right, you don't need to borrow someone." Several other people hurriedly replied.

The lesser of two evils, although they are dissatisfied, they can only swallow all the bitterness in their stomachs.

As for the matter of killing Bai Jingwen, they just gave up because they had the guts but not the ability.
