Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The people here are not afraid of a county magistrate who has no foundation.

Mr. Du has been here for ten years, and it is deeply ingrained, not to mention that Mr. Du was not the same as Mr. Ma in front of him at that time.

At that time, there was no war in northern Xinjiang, but there were always small frictions, not to mention that the people in the northern region were tough, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away. If the county magistrate wanted to manage the local area well, he had to get along well with the local big households and some "one-surname villages" relationship, otherwise people with many families will not listen to you, what can you do?

Even sometimes, the county magistrate had to compromise.

In ancient times, clans were very powerful, even if they were just the most ordinary common people, they still had their own power.

It is okay not to fight against the court, but to fight against officials....

I think that when Mr. Du first came here, he didn’t visit the elders one by one. Two-thirds of the yamen servants in the county were strong men from various villages. the link between.

If there is a problem in any village, let the yamen servants from that village take people with them to see what's going on?

This is the "humanized management" of some remote areas in ancient times. Mr. Du also had a very good friendship with the old village head and the others. However, Mr. Du couldn't find so many people to help him build a new county seat. The people above hoped that he could not do this job well!

It's better now, you're a newcomer, you don't have any roots, and you want to eat a fat man for no reason, that's impossible.

Helplessly, the three people in front of Xu didn't understand and didn't want to understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. Xu. This conversation can almost be said to be "unhappy."

But the autumn harvest tax is also collected, there is no way, they still have to go through Master Xu, but it is impossible for Master Xu to be stuck for too long.

In the end, there was still no other way but to ask Mr. Ma not to set the tax so high.

Taxation is the general term for land tax and other taxes.

The earliest taxes in ancient times were for the rulers to collect land, labor and other objects from their subordinates.

Later, it gradually changed to levy military service and military supplies according to Dingkou, which is called "Fu";

The collection of properties based on land and industrial and commercial operations is called "tax".

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the private economy continued to develop, the establishment of the land grant system, especially the implementation of "early tax mu" and "early resistance to grain", and the imperial court collected land from farmers in kind, so taxes and taxes were gradually mixed.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was also called field tax (or field rent) that was collected according to the number of acres of land.

After the Qing Dynasty's "Tan Ding into Mu", the combined collection of taxes and services was completed.

But at this time in Daqing, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the land of the vassal king of the previous dynasty was owned by the current cultivator, which was called "renamed field".

In the generation of Shizu, that is, the father of the current emperor, the rule of "per person per mu" was implemented, similar to the policy of sharing per man per mu, which further relaxed the personal control of farmers, gradually reduced the phenomenon of hidden population, and gradually reduced the national treasury. Fengying, otherwise we will not be able to fight a three-year war.

The current tax regulation here is that after one mu of land has harvested grain, one must pay [-]% of the grain produced.

This looks like a small amount, but if you gather less, you will become more, if you gather sand, you will make a tower, and if you gather armpits, you will make fur.

For one hundred catties of grain, ten catties of tax should be paid out, which is very little, but in fact, for one hundred catties of grain, 25 catties should be given out, because five catties are tax free.

Ding Tian couldn't understand: "Flying tax?"

"Well, even if the grain has just been harvested, it is wet. When it is transported to the official warehouse, there will be an extra five catties. In this case, even if the grain is dried and dropped, it will not reduce the storage of the official warehouse. It is only five catties later. It was not enough, so I changed it to 25 catties, and the extra ten catties were also used for flying taxes, and if there was any leftover, it would be..." Master Xu didn't go on, he changed the subject: "I also Just to tell you, you go back and say hello to your uncle and grandpa, I have tried my best."

"Understood, thank you Master Xu." Ding Tian bowed his hands in a salute: "Everyone in Dingjia Village knows that you are a good person."

When he said this, he was very serious. A 15-year-old boy said with a serious face that you are a good person, which made Mr. Xu feel a little guilty. He knows whether he is a good person or not.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, go back when you have time, in addition to food, I'm afraid every household has to pay at least one or two taels of tax ^"

He came here to vent to Ding Tian that the current master is not very easy to serve, and when paying taxes, there may be some disturbances.

Let them all be prepared, and don't be caught off guard by the master.

In fact, he was just trying to make a good sale. He couldn't resist the master's decision, so he could only do the following work.

He thinks it's better not to be the chief bookkeeper^

When Mr. Du was around, his county magistrate and head secretary were all locals, and the government orders were in force. Even when they defended the city at the end, they fought to the death.

Now this...how big a face does he have?

To put it bluntly, why?

Just because you are the county magistrate?

Pull it down, the magistrate of the next county, during the war, changed it faster than leeks, he took himself too seriously.

Master Xu shook his head and returned to his small courtyard.

Ding Tian pondered in his own room: This tax is a piece of fat, it depends on whether the surname Ma wants to eat it

If he had a good appetite, he might be able to swallow half of it.

But Niujiao County was originally a poor place, and it has experienced the baptism of war. Now it has a population of more than 1 households. Even if a family pays tax money of one tael, more than 1 taels, he must pay some taxes to the superiors, right?Greed for half? That's too much, greed for less... He must not be happy.

Unexpectedly, this man surnamed Ma is actually a corrupt official, and a corrupt official with a big appetite.
