"Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year in Hexi? Why are you back so soon?"

Wu Sanniang looked at Zhao Liang in front of her in surprise.

She knew what Zhao Liang went to Hexi.

"Because, I don't need to stay there. I'll be back."

Zhao Liang picked up the child and said, "It's just the time when the four or five-year-old children like crazy, and the creaking laughter never stopped.

After a while of madness, Zhao Liang accompanied the child to have dinner again. He finally coaxed the child to bed, so he had time to talk to Wu Sanniang.

After hearing what Zhao Liang and Hexi passed by, Wu Sanniang couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"I really think you should be more involved in the officialdom. If you donated your official position ten years ago, you are afraid you will be a capable minister and official who is well-known in the court."

"So what if you are capable of officials? You are not a slave who kowtows."

Zhao Liangcai doesn’t want to be a slave to others.

It was one thing to be a small person in front of Su Hetai. It was another thing to be a small person in front of Su Hetai. It was a different thing to be a small person in every day and to flatter people to seek promotion.

"How are you doing in the Taiwan Strait in Fujian? Have you found someone there?"

"The Heaven and Earth Association have already had some contact. Their format is not very good in Fujian. The government has been chasing it very close. The leader has recently crossed the sea to Taiwan. As for Lin Shuangwen and Zhuang Datian, they have also had some contact. But these two..."

Wu Sanniang really doesn't understand Zhao Liang's instructions. Tiandihui can still understand it, but why do you value Lin Shuangwen and Zhuang Datian so much? There is really no connection between the two parties.

Lin and Zhuang are both wealthy families with high-ranking people, and they recruit many people to reclaim their land to get rich. They have great prestige among Zhangzhou immigrants from Tainan in Taichung. Such people cannot abandon their family and property rebellion, right?

"Then tell me about the situation inside the official."

Zhao Liang knew about Lin Shuangwen and Zhuang Datian Uprising, and even knew some details, but those details only depended on the two of them after the uprising, not before the uprising.

Why did the two landlords with great value go against the Qing Dynasty? Is it really because of the brainwashing of the Tiandihui?

This is obviously impossible.

"The situation of senior officials is quite complicated. The entire society can be divided into three categories."

"The first class is the gentry and the big families. I think they absolutely support the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing court's land tax in Taiwan was not high, and because these people came to Taiwan early, they all occupied large tracts of land. There was no reason not to support the Qing government."

I won’t talk about it during the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Yongzheng, but only talk about the Qianlong Dynasty.

From the first year of Qianlong, the official Ding Grain was reduced according to the mainland, and each Ding was entrusted to 2 cents of silver to relieve the people's strength. The annual silver was entrusted. In the 12th year (1747), it was agreed to enter the countryside to collect the land. The land they cultivated was exempted from the taxes, and the grain was still paid. By the 45th year of Qianlong, it was generally considered that there were more than 28,100 armors of cultivated land in Taiwan, and nearly 3,000 hectares were entrusted to 1,430 mu of land, and more than 165,600 stones of millet were entrusted annually.

The 1-jia Fu of the fields: two stones and seven dou four liters in the upper field, two stones and zero eight liters in the middle field, and seven dou five liters in the lower field. This tax is definitely very high compared to the northern part of the Central Plains, but it is not high for the senior officials.

People do not think that they are sick, and the ground has excess strength, the superiors have no worries, and the middle ones can cut off their strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and they can still use the leaks to support them.

In addition, the hidden new lands of powerful people in those places and the lack of qualifications is known to people. They do not even need to spend a penny to reclaim new fields. They only need to get a license from the government to recruit immigrants to go to the established area to reclaim new fields.

During the Xintian period, I harvested 19% of the total every year, and immigrants could get the vast majority.

However, after Xintian started to develop, when Xintian became mature, the official land contract would only be sent to the large households with the license.

And those immigrants who reclaimed the land instantly became tenants under the big family, and the rent and taxes instantly became much heavier.

Therefore, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the gentry and wealthy families lived a very comfortable life.

"The senior officials are very close to Fujian and Guangdong, and their customs are influenced by Fujian and Guangdong. In the early days, the system of permanent tenancy was mainly popular. That is, because tenants participated in land reclamation, they obtained permanent tenancy rights for the land, and the owners were not allowed to sublet the land. Moreover, tenants enjoyed the right to inherit, transfer, mortgage and purchase and sale of the land they cultivated without owing the owners rent. And if they were unwilling to continue farming, they could also choose to withdraw the rent.

Because in the early years, the senior officials were vast and sparsely populated and fertile, it was definitely an ideal place for the people of Fujian and Guangdong who were suffering from the intertwined mountains and seas and had many people and few lands.

But now there are only a million people living in the majority, and all the easy-to-reclaimed places have been reclaimed. However, the number of immigrants has continued to increase, because the population of Fujian and Guangdong has been growing in recent years. Therefore, the new generation of immigrants have almost no chance to obtain permanent tenancy rights for the main land. They can only rent land temporarily or be hired, and then enter towns and become handicraftsmen or small vendors."

"so……"

Zhao Liang has a more comprehensive understanding of the inside story of the senior official, and it turns out that people can also distinguish between the superiors and inferiors.

"So people who enjoy permanent tenancy rights are one type, and in the end they can only temporarily rent land or be hired, and then they enter towns and become servants or small vendors. "

Under such a layering, Lin Shuangwen and Zhuang Datian are both absolutely the best. Wu Sanniang puts herself in her shoes and thinks that if she has such good conditions, she will definitely enjoy her own blessings honestly so that she will not rebel with her head.

"That's not necessarily. Didn't you say that these two people have a high prestige among immigrants from Zhangzhou? They also often help others..." How could such people, heaven and earth not be in contact?

"Will they join?" Wu Sanniang still couldn't understand.

"Then let's continue reading."

Zhao Liang's self-confidence made Wu Sanniang feel a little shaken, and at the same time, she also felt even more confused. Did this man think of this two years ago?

At that time, the World Association had just developed into the senior officials for a while.

"Tell me about the Heaven and Earth Meeting."

"Although the Tiandihui has just joined the senior officials for a while, according to feedback, their development has been very smooth." Otherwise, the leader of the Tiandihui would not have gone to the senior officials.

"There are too many vagrants in that place. A large number of immigrants came over, but they had no land and no livelihoods. They were in a state of displaced for a long time and were called "arhat feet" by the locals."

"These people have no home, no wives and children, no men, no farming, no workers, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business, no business
