(Thanks to the book "padlong7"!)

The yield of rice mu in the Ming Dynasty is not low, according to the management of the early Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xiu Xiang recorded in the "Purification Book": "The field is very familiar, the rice three stone, the spring flower is one stone and half, but there is one and a half.The three stones are promised to be the ears of the ordinary.”That is to say, the ordinary paddy field is cooked twice a year, the yield of rice in a season is three stones, and the output of rice in the second season is one stone and half, so it is generally seen that the yield per mu of Nanzhili is about three stones. /p

The unit of measurement of the three stones of the Ming Dynasty should be more than 280 pounds, which means that the annual income of an acre of ordinary paddy fields should be about 300 pounds.At the same time, the Ming Dynasty tax is not high, that is, the Taihu basin has the heaviest tax, the second province of Susong, and the state of each acre of land is only a little more than seven liters, that is, the tax ratio is between 2% and 3 per cent. /p

But we must not forget that there are fees, in addition to the right to give, there are seven or eight other funds, such as the cost of hiring grain taxes, the cost of grain transportation, the loss of the road, in addition to these and all kinds of showdowns, what county to repair the river embankment, the town to build a bridge and other local expenses, these add up to one-third of the yield per mu.There is also the corruption of officials at all levels, all of which account for two-thirds of the annual food production to be taxed. /p

This is still a normal situation, if the water and drought, the court is fighting, the official is regardless of the people's life and death, there is no money to pay taxes to take your pig, sell your house, if the last house is not there then to sell your wife and daughter.Therefore, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of people flowed between the provinces, and were completely forced by the court to /p live.

Yang Zongjian is also an old bureaucrat, knowing that the county knows that the state has been, and naturally knows what the situation is at the grassroots level.Now I see that Master Yu's look can't help but raise the rabbit's dead fox's sad heart, sighing and comforting: "Eu, the official can't do it, this is the emperor's will, you still urge Lang to read, and the middle man is the right way!" /p

Zhu Hongsan stipulates that people can be exempted from 240 acres of positive endowments, but there is no such restriction as a sergeant, that is to say, as long as they become a sergeant, that is the real family tax exemption. /p

The Lord said with a weeping face: "Thank you for the reminder of the Lord!" /p

Yang Zongjian nodded and said, "The rest is measured on the ground, especially Master, please arrange for someone to take us!" /p

Yu Master sent his family to drive his own land with the battle of the task force.Going to the field to measure this rough master is not going, Yang Zongjian will be divided into three groups, officially began to clean up the land. /p

Yang Zongjian, accompanied by Chen Shu, returned to the town office and sat in the lobby waiting for news.A moment's effort to check out the old man's group came back. /p

The head of the book office came to Yang Zongjian and said: "Back to Mr. Yang, Yu Junang's royal book records that the paddy field is tirked, and the Santian is fifty-four acres, but the villain actually measured the water field of 418 acres, and the Santian 160 acres, which is much more!" /p

These are all expected by Yang Zong Jane, and the landowner has not reported it twice, which is still good.Yang Zongjian has encountered ten times the most under-reporting in various counties in Suzhou this year, but the unlucky guy has been handed over to the brocade. /p

Yang Zongjian nodded after listening to the report, he did not want to deal with the landowner, because the task given to him by the government department was to clear the land mu, not tax, so as long as the field mu was clear. /p

"Very well, you just need to record the exact number, as to what to do in the future there will be a department to deal with, take up the Yujia file." /p

The book office quickly took the Yujia land file up, placed in front of Yang Zongjian, Yang Zong Jane looked at the above and understood very well, how much was on the original land imperial book, how much was measured, how many acres of water fields, how many acres of mulberry fields, the grade of the land was written clearly, and at the same time, there was also a signature of the name of the official, Yang Zongjian looked at it without problems.Such a legally binding land instrument is completed, and the future court will collect the taxes of these gentlemen according to this instrument. /p

Yang Zongjian with these people are old, coupled with more than half a year of visits, have become familiar with the situation in the town, after the initial familiar with the situation in the town, the work soon began. /p

This land inventory is to inventory all the land in the whole world, so in addition to large and small landowners, some farmers are also clearing the scope.However, after hundreds of years of development here, there are really not many farmers, there are less than ten self-cultivated farmers here in Tongli Town, and the rest are either landowners or bungalows. /p

Tongli Town is a large town, there are more than 800 residents, the land has more than 50,000 acres, Yang Zongjian estimated that it will take ten days to complete the inspection.Thinking that he had been out for nearly a year, now the work is finally bright, Yang Zongjian is very happy in his heart. /p

That know that the more out of the chaos later, in the inventory to the third day, Yang Zongjian is sitting in the hall of the town office, outside quickly walk into a book office, and said: "Adult, something happened in the east of the town!" /p

Afraid of what, Yang Zongjun frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?” /p

"Adults, today we group to check Zhang Qingfang's family, at the beginning of Zhang's family did not say anything, but also very cooperative, but in the field measurement of Zhang's feminist did not let go, now the ground deadlock, our group of Mr. Liu can not do the Lord, please go to the adult!" /p

Well, Yang Zongjian nodded to the sitting next to Chen Zheng, and said, “Bang Yan, let’s go to a trip!” /p

Chen chose to listen to Zhang Qingfang's family's heart is tight, Zhang's family's power is too big, they can't afford to blame. /p

"Mr. Yang, this time the adults be careful, this Zhang Qingfang is the side of the Shaoxing Zhang family, adults be careful to deal with!" /p

Yang Zongjian listened to Wang Zhang of the county before coming, naturally know that this Zhang family is not easy to deal with, but can the Zhang family's strength be greater than the king's law?

Let’s see first.” – P

Yang Chen, under the leadership of the book office, came to the ground of the house on the east side of the town, where hundreds of people have gathered, all dressed in shorts, holding a hoe sickle in their hands, and it seems that they are all bunnies of the Zhang family.In contrast, there are less than 20 people on the team side, and half of them are in the county and town, and what is really going to happen is something these people can't expect at all. /p

Yang Zongjian looked at the situation, pulled a book office whisper in his ear, let him ride back to the county for help, it is best to call hundreds of inspection departments. /p

At this time, the two groups of people who were holding each other saw the great officials coming and gave up a way, Yang Zongjian and Chen chose to enter the crowd and saw a middle-age man grabbing a seven-pin civilian's collar and scolding. /p

"You are a seven-pin sesame officer, do not ask me who I am, let you measure the piece of land, so much nonsense for what?" /p

Talking this person is the same town of the land advocate Qingfang, in the morning team to his home Zhang Qingfang attitude is not bad, the family out of the title to the leader of the food section to check.The clerk looked at the title of the deed, but it was too big with the records in the royal book.The royal book records that Zhang Qingfang's family has 1,500 and 60 acres of land, but there are only more than 300 acres on the land title.The man had seen more land, and had never seen the land less. /p

However, the reasons given by Zhang Qingfang are also reasonable and reasonable, Zhang Qingfang's father did not manage well, and in recent years, the land has been sold, and now there is only so much left.Reasonable do not say anything, you say how much is how much, but the next step in the field measurement is a problem. /p

The Ming Dynasty land deeds have a general description of the land, such as how far is it outside the town, what is the general shape of the land, whether there are rivers around, and the land bordering it.However, according to the land deed provided by Zhang Qingfang, it is completely impossible to see the teeth in the field. /p

When the pawn asked Zhang Qingfang, Zhang Qingfang just took out a hundred silver tickets to bribe the priest.In fact, the priest is not a good person, according to the previous silver received, anyway, how to make this tax is the state, can not enter the pocket.But this time, along with a small flag, the priest did not dare to accept bribes in front of Jin Yiwei. /p

After Zhang Qingfang saw that the money was not good, he began to want to use his power to pressure people and talk about his relationship with the Shaoxing Zhang family.But this makes the canon more tired, you are not fake, but the master now checks your home, the county official is not as good as the county management, you do not give me a perfect account of certainly not. /p

At this time, the more the bungalows found by the Zhang family, the more gathered, Zhang Qingfang saw that his people were more and more, and the more bold he became, and he was ready to play horizontally, and at this time, Yang Zongjian came /p .

Chen chose to walk into the crowd to see if things were not good, and quickly came forward to persuade: "Master Zhang, the mercy of your hands, the province's Mr. Yang is coming, what is it for Mr. Yang to take charge!" /p

Chen and Zhang Qingfang lived in the town for decades, and the two were more or less related relatives, so Zhang Qingfang saw that Chen chose or gave his face. /p

Zhang Qingfang put the priest down and came to Yang Zongjian to say, “This is Mr. Yang?”You are too shameless, ask for silver two will not betray my family, Mr. Yang to take charge!" /p

The priest saw Zhang Qingfang's wicked man first sued, said: "Mr. Yang, he first gave the official silver, the lower official did not want, he maliciously wanted to beat the official!"I don't believe in the Lord's please please follow the team!" /p

The small flag of Jin Yiwei saw Yang Zong Jane looking at himself and quickly said: "Mr. Yang, just now, things have happened just now, as the Lord said, Zhang Qingfang's bribe is not to beat people!" /p

The canon listened to the koi garrison speak for himself, I would like to go forward and hold the small flag two mouthfuls, never feel that the garb was so cute! /p

Yang Zongjian certainly believes in himself, but now there are so many people on the sidelines, and if he is not careful, he will make a big deal.Yang Zongjun pointed to the small banner of Jinqing.“Okay, don’t argue!You’ll tell it all over again!” /p

In front of the little flag, the previous thing was said in detail. /p
