The matter was quickly reported to the county government, and Sun Haiying was shocked when she found out, and at the same time gritted her teeth in hatred.
After purging the yamen who had been bought off in the county yazhong, he personally came forward and took Zhao Dahu.
The matter was known to the Kaifeng government, and the prefect Zhang Sheng personally gave the order.
Zhao Dahu instigating the people with the intention of provoking civil upheaval is a heinous crime. The court issued a clear order, and those who maliciously obstructed the court's implementation of the new policy, in serious cases, could have their property seized and be sentenced to beheading.
The government office personally came, beheaded Zhao Dahu in public, confiscated the other party's property, and his fields were equally distributed to the nearby people.
With the example of big households Zhao, other big households in Yangwu County would not dare to mess around with them even if they had something wrong. The Qingzhang land in the county went very smoothly. Before the autumn grains came down, the Qingzhang land was completed. The county government issued a notice saying that this year's autumn grain taxes will be collected according to the new law.
Not only was the poll tax exempted, but also all extortionate and miscellaneous taxes were exempted, incorporated into the land tax, and promised never to increase taxes.
All of a sudden, the people applauded and sang the new law.
It was spread like this, and the matter was naturally known to the people in several nearby counties. Knowing that the people of Yangwu County paid a lot less tax than themselves this year, the people of other counties couldn't sit still.
From time to time, people hear the news and come to Yangwu County to watch in person. Seeing that the local people are all smiles, and listening to them in detail, their heart is like a cat's claws. There were many discussions in private, and some people couldn't bear to ask the county government office to which they belonged.
It was only after I asked that I found out that the new law is indeed under preparation and will be implemented in a few days.
But how long will this day be? As a result, the new policies of several nearby counties were urged to be implemented, and they all wanted to implement the new policies before paying taxes.
Since ancient times, what people want is invincible. After some people hyped up Yangwu County, many illiterate people know that this new law benefits the people and harms the interests of those big households.
And everything that obstructs the New Deal is the conspiracy and tricks of the big households. Don't believe it.
Under this circumstance, the New Deal went very smoothly. Although there was inevitably some interference during the period, there was no need to be afraid of these with iron and blood.
These are easy to say, but they are actually very difficult.
Telling the people is one thing, and preventing them from being deceived is the other thing. These big local households have intricate relationships, and they have relatives who are officials. When the Qingzhang comes to his head, he will ask someone to go through the relationship, and ask someone to bring a message to the local county magistrate who presides over the New Deal.
Dachang is a society of personal feelings, and it is inevitable to face this kind of problem. Human feelings plus the threat of the future, the pressure on the top and bottom, is unprecedented.
Fortunately, Kaifeng has Zhang Sheng, a mansion who dares to be scornful and cold. Last year, Henan lost a group of officials and replaced a group of new officials.
These officials are young and ambitious, and the edges and corners of their bodies have not been polished by the world. They have been taught by the sages since childhood, but they still know the etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and know how to set up their minds for the heaven and earth, for the life and the people, for the sages of the past, and for the eternal peace. ' truth.
In fact, not every official is born a corrupt official, and the so-called corruption requires suitable soil for it to take root and sprout. When these officials first entered the official career, this procedure was omitted, and it was these people who carried out the New Deal, which achieved twice the result with half the effort.
When Xue Tingxiang arranged for these people to come to Henan, his original intention was not to seek this matter, but to come here to relieve disasters. Seeing the chaos in the area, he couldn't help feeling pity.
It was also because of Zhang Sheng's uprightness and rare integrity that he extended a helping hand.
After receiving the news that the Kaifeng New Deal was going well, he was extremely grateful for the original move.
However, this happiness did not last long, and he was busy.
As he said before, this battle has only just begun, the New Deal can be implemented or obstructed, and Dachang has a vast territory, and no one dares to claim success before it is fully implemented.
In fact, these days, Xue Tingxiang's life is not easy. He presided over the New Deal, and all storms and storms required him to be in front of him.
Fortunately, he now has many helpers, so he will not be alone, and he only needs to devote all his body and mind to the implementation of the New Deal.
At this moment, another incident happened, which made Xue Tingxiang feel powerless.
That's the business tax.
Originally, this matter was only used as an opportunity for the implementation of the New Deal, but since it was mentioned on the table, it would naturally follow the New Deal. While the reformists were too busy to touch the ground, the matter was stopped halfway by the supervisor.
Someone picked peaches, and no one was willing to change it, especially when the calamity about taxation in the previous dynasty was still vivid in my mind, which naturally made people worry.
But Emperor Jiacheng had already agreed to this matter, and while the reformists were responding to the criticism from the DPRK, they had to carry out the New Deal, so naturally they couldn't get involved in the business and tax affairs.
Even if you are unwilling, you can only watch.
And Sili Jian also seemed to want to accomplish a major event, so he set up a tax clearance department and chose Suzhou as a pilot project.
The New Deal still encountered resistance, and it was unavoidable, that is, the gentry.
The so-called gentry, who enter is an official, and an exit is a gentry.
In fact, in vernacular terms, it is those who are famous and have a reputation in the local area. These people are either famous, or they are getting old and returning to their hometowns, or they have no intention of being idle at home, or there are still people in their families who are officials in the dynasty.
These people are undoubtedly a behemoth, surpassing those small local landlords, and the first to bear the brunt of these big landlords who are local gentry.
He also knew that it could not be done overnight. Xue Tingxiang is now preparing a new "Preferential Exemption Regulations". Those who are famous are not exempt from the tax, but need to establish new rules.
Xue Tingxiang had already come up with new rules, and the hall fell into chaos again. In the end, Emperor Jiacheng made the decision himself and decided to follow the new rules.
In his early years, Emperor Jiacheng had always been known to be mean-spirited, but in recent years, he has been more favorable, so he changed his previous temperament.
This time, his words were astonishing again. He said: "Since you have fought so hard, the imperial court will not set a first-rank official title. If I raise a first-rank official, not only will I have to pay a high salary every year, but I will also have to exempt 10,000 mu. Land tax. You all say that you are an honest official. Where did these ten thousand mu of land come from?”
He added: "You all slandered my appointment of eunuchs, and let me see that eunuchs are really useful. At least the eunuchs will not dig up the taxes of the court to fill their own pockets."
These words made the Manchu Dynasty silent, and no one dared to come out to oppose it, but in private, the name of Emperor Jiacheng's meanness and unkindness spread quietly.
Hearing these rumors, Xue Tingxiang became more worried.
Although Emperor Jiacheng's remarks are valid, they are indeed overdone, and it really does not conform to his policy of dealing with life in recent years. Lianhe had previously hinted at his eagerness to implement the New Deal, and Xue Tingxiang couldn't help but think of some bad things.
But after thinking about it, the dream is not reality, and in that dream, Emperor Jiacheng collapsed in the eighteenth year of Jiacheng, and now it is twenty years of Jiacheng.
Besides, the cause of Emperor Jiacheng's death in the dream was sudden death, and the later imperial doctor diagnosed that Emperor Jiacheng was caused by years of labor and overwork in government affairs. Judging from the current situation of Emperor Jiacheng's dragon body, there was no sudden death, so he did not. Think more.
In Yuxian County, Kaifeng, Henan Province, a middle-aged man stands in front of the gate of the Yin family.
The man was in his forties, with a black face and a thin face. He wore a dark blue straight robe, and the cuffs of his shirt had been worn slightly white. He looked like an underappreciated cold scholar.
He has been standing in front of the Yin family gate for more than an hour, but today is also surprising. The corner gate that is usually opened frequently has not been opened today, as if this person is an uninvited guest and is not welcomed by the people inside.
"Sir, let's go, shall we?" a man who looked like an entourage persuaded.
On the side of the street, a mule cart was parked. This time, the two of them traveled lightly, so two people came.
"Wait, the whole of Kaifeng will be blocked by Yuxian, and it will be impossible to come to Yuxian if you don't worship the Yin family. Since everything is said, the matter of the Yin family will not be solved, and the new policy of Yuxian County will not be solved. Waiting for the good news."
The entourage said angrily: "But their Yin family really doesn't take people seriously. The adults are such a dignified mansion, and they dare to turn them away!"
Zhang Sheng pursed the corners of his lips slightly and stared at the closed black door with dry eyes.
"Master Xue has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. Even if the Yin family is difficult to bite, I must take it down. It doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances. As long as the new policy can be implemented, the grievances will be grievances."
"The little one will get you some water from the car."
The entourage went to get the water bag and came to Zhang Sheng's side. Zhang Sheng took it and filled two mouthfuls, but he was really thirsty.
Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a group of people came running from the roadside. The group of people shouted and shouted to catch the thief, and the sticks in their hands waved.
Zhang Sheng and his entourage were beaten inexplicably, but they didn't care about reason at all, and could only avoid the beatings in embarrassment.
These people beat and scolded at the same time, and suddenly someone shouted that the wrong person was called, and these people suddenly became like birds and beasts.
When these people left, Zhang Sheng had fallen to the ground, blood dripping from his head, but he was injured.
That entourage is not much better than him, but in the end, he is young and strong, and he can still do his best. He stared at the gate of the Yin family with piercing eyes, and exclaimed: "Good, you Yin family, how dare you beat the court officials!"
But the door pattern didn't move, so he could only pick up Zhang Sheng and hurriedly got into the car and left.
After they left, the black door opened from the inside, and someone looked out from the inside.
"Fourth Master, the person has left."
"It's best to leave, if you dare to come to entangle them again, I will find someone to teach them a lesson." A young man in Chinese clothes said inside the door.
"But he is an official of the imperial court. Will we cause a big trouble, Fourth Master?"
"What are you afraid of, there is a cousin in the court, forgive them and dare not let one."
Zhang Sheng fell into a coma on the spot, and when he woke up again, he returned to the government office.
His entourage sent the letter to the capital unhappily, and when he wanted to stop it, the letter had already been handed out, and he could only recuperate while thinking about the matter of the Yin family.
The letter was sent 800 miles in a hurry, so it arrived in Xue Tingxiang's hands that night.
After Xue Tingxiang saw it, he was so angry that he scolded him in front of him.
Zhao'er took the letter from his hand and looked at it, only then did she know what had happened. She knew Zhang Sheng, but Zhang Sheng did not know that she was a woman.
"Which Yin family is this? It's so rampant."
Xue Tingxiang sneered: "Yin is a small surname, there are several people with the surname Yin in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."
Because of Xue Tingxiang's implementation of the new policy, Zhao'er also helped a lot from it, so she now knows a little about the important affairs of the DPRK and China. After some thought, I thought of which Yin family it was.
Speaking of this Yin family, it can be regarded as a family of poetry and calligraphy. As early as the previous dynasty, there were many officials in the family. When he arrived in Dachang, there were promising children of the clan who even reached the second rank, and this person was Yin Zhan, the servant of the Ministry of Personnel.
This Yin Zhan was an old official of the two dynasties. He was upright and honest, with clear arms, and he was quite prestigious in Shilin. He himself is also a low-key person who has experienced two dynasties and is still as stable as Mount Tai, and is known as an evergreen tree.
"Isn't Yin Shilang an honest official? Why—"
"A person who is not greedy is an honest official, but an honest official does not mean poor."
In that dream, he has always been known as a clean official, but in reality
