Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Wang Jiachang was very proud.

After this reinforcement, there will be absolutely no risk of collapse of the houses in the village within ten years!

Chen Ding stared into Chief A's eyes:

"Are all families like Grandma Liu's?"

"Of course!"

Being stared at by the magistrate, there was no trace of panic on Wang Jiachang's face.

He nodded somewhat proudly:

"I have been a chief of armor in the village for more than ten years. All the fellow villagers in the village look up but never look down. If someone is killed because their house collapsed, how can I, the chief of armor, still have prestige in the future?

To be boastful, I have been working as a commander for so long——

Who does things seriously and who does things impetuously, how could I not know?

If we want to hire people, or do something as big as reinforcing a house, we naturally need to find reliable young people.

No matter which one, we will all be watching personally when the reinforcements are being made!

You, don’t worry! "

"We are either incompetent or...

In the past, there was nothing we could do! "

The expression on Wang Jia Chang's face slowly changed.

A bit of sadness appeared on my cheeks:

“There are often heavy snowfalls in winter, and houses that have been in disrepair will collapse because they cannot withstand the snow.

This is a matter of life and death.

An ordinary farmer understands this truth, but don’t we know it?

but!

Even if you know it, you can’t help it!

In the past, the villagers' families were poor.

Not to mention that the weather is getting better, even if it is a blizzard, we still have to go into the mountains to pick mountain products and medicinal materials.

Every time this time comes, my heart will tighten...

Because on days like this, things can easily go wrong.

A few people die every year, which is simply the norm.

but……"

"Ugh!"

Wang Jia let out a long sigh, his face full of sadness:

“They had to go!

Because if you don’t go, you won’t make any money and you won’t be able to pay taxes;

If you can't pay taxes, you have to sell grain;

Without food, you will be hungry..."

"Extortionate taxes and miscellaneous taxes are as fierce as a tiger!

People don’t have time to rest every year——

Even if I wanted to find someone to do some good deeds, I wouldn't have anyone to do it.

At that time, I was powerless and could only be out of sight and out of mind..."

Wang Jia sighed.

It's not that he doesn't want to be a good official...

But - Chief Jia is the grain chief of a village.

When paying taxes to the government, he has to come forward to organize the people of the village.

After the tax increased by the eldest brother, shouldn’t he be called upon to pay it in the end?

Song County has little land and not much summer grain and income...

It's less than [-]% of the official tax, so I just saved a couple of dollars and made it up.

but……

The emperor doesn't collect taxes, so he can't resist the government officials who don't collect taxes!

Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are as fierce as a tiger! ! !

The taxes paid to the emperor can be owed in arrears.

——Miscellaneous taxes paid to the official...

If you dare to default, you will lose your head!

The county magistrate does not have the right to behead, but the elder has the right to spank!

It’s no joke to use a thick-armed water and fire stick with three sticks to kill a person——

This is so realistic!

The emperor, I might as well take charge now!

No matter how low the taxes set by the Zhu family are, they can't stop the officials from plundering...

According to the original household registration classification in the Ming Dynasty, there were 110 households per mile.

Divided into ten.

In other words, there are only ten households under each Jia Chang.

This is the division of villages in the "Yellow Book".

When Zhu Taizu founded the country, he still had very strong control over his subordinates.

In other words - Dayangou Village originally had only 11 households.

It still includes nail length.

The Ming Dynasty has been more than 270 years...

Still, there have been no large-scale changes and more than 200 years of stable development...

however……

The rights of the emperor of the Zhu family have long been eclipsed by the civil servants...

The old men took a "Yellow Book" compiled more than 200 years ago and revised it, just to stop the Zhu family emperor's mouth!

It’s something from more than 200 years ago!

How could the "Yellow Book" of more than 200 years ago be done better?

The population and the number of households have already increased a hundred times!

After more than 200 years of development, the original 11 households in Dayangou Village have developed into a large village group with thousands of households.

There are more than ten village gathering points alone!

The population increased hundreds of times...

If his village, under the jurisdiction of Chief Jia, had really followed the rules of Grandpa Taizu's society, it would have been split into more than ten li!

Although……

The taxes paid to the emperor have always been based on this.

However, tax is not this thing!

The people have grown so much...

Is it possible for Mr. Guan to lose his mind?

If you really become someone else's official, is it for nothing?

Those are all human beings!

The eldest man finally became an official. Can he still collect money according to the "Yellow Book" from hundreds of years ago?

The amount of money given to the emperor must be small!

It's best not to pay a penny and starve him to death as a stinky beggar.

but--

The money given to the great master is...not even a penny less! ! !

Is there little land in Song County?

Not much talent?

It's ok!

It was for the Zhu family, not for the eldest master.

The less you pay, the better. It’s best to starve the Zhu family to death!

It's best if Meng Yuan comes back again!

In this way, the power of tax farming can be returned to the hands of the big men.

Those are all kinds of upright arrangements and exorbitant taxes!

There is no need to be like in the Ming Dynasty. If you meet a stronger emperor, if you are caught, you will be charged with corruption...

Especially that stinky beggar Zhu Chongba, who would peel off the skin of day lilies when he was caught!

It's your uncle's fault!

What's wrong with our great master being a little corrupt?

Aren’t we just for a few bucks when we become officials?

If I serve as an official for your Zhu family, why do you want to peel off the day lilies for me?

You deserve to be poisoned to death!

When you are old and weak, poisoning your sons and sending your white-haired men to black-haired men is a retaliation for you!

……

Song County relies on the mountains and eats the mountains - low food taxes?

It's ok!

As long as there are excessive taxes and excessive taxes, it will be enough.

Kuhaha, do you want to go into the mountains to pick wild products?

Okay, pay the mushroom tax, pay the fungus tax, pay the medicinal tax... pay the hunting tax...

I really can’t find the name, so I’ll break the hunting tax——

Aren't there also rabbit taxes, deer taxes, tiger taxes, and fox taxes...

The title has been established by the seniors. Isn’t there still a herb collection tax? This thing can also be split!

Pinellia tax, Astragalus tax, Huanglian tax, Eucommia tax...

After paying the 365 lines, there is another set of flood prevention tax, welcome tax, delivery tax, city gate repair tax...

So, you see:

Little land and little talent?

It's ok!

This is for the beggars of the Zhu family, not for the eldest boss!

What the big boss wants is taxes!

As the saying goes, knock on the bones and suck out the marrow.

People who suck marrow and drink blood can't find a poor person to beat?

Miscellaneous taxes Miscellaneous taxes...

They all come from poetry-reading backgrounds, yet they can’t find a reputation for collecting taxes!

Do you really think that reading books from sages is in vain?
