Chapter 25 Fetal Movement
"Fu Ren, are you sure this is really OK?"
"What is specific and what steps should be done, Brother Bo Yang and Director Zhou and Director Gu need to investigate and plan together."
"Okay, I've left this to me, but it's just that it will cause unnecessary burdens for military households."
A civil servant in charge of civil affairs in the Ming Dynasty was afraid of causing a burden on the military households. After hearing this, Chen Wen couldn't laugh at all. He has been with Sun Yu for several years. For him, the civil servant in front of him is not only an official with excellent ethics, but also a trustworthy friend.
"I believe Brother Bo Yang will be able to do it perfectly."
"I'm fine. I've been instructed by Fu Ren anyway. If I'm idle one day, I really don't know how to live. But..." Speaking of this, Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh. "Hey, if Governor Wang is still here, he will definitely be able to do better. He deserves his ability to manage financial plans and is worthy of a country's economy."
There were only two of them in the room, but Chen Wen still lowered the volume a lot.
"It's not that I don't want to save Governor Wang. Since he was captured, he was imprisoned in Nanjing, which was beyond reach. Moreover, according to Bai Jinghe who I sent to Nanjing, the Tatars were quite tightly guarding Governor Wang. Even Hong Chengchou, who was officially appointed as the Southeast Administration, also specially recruited Governor Wang for inquiries. I believe Governor Wang was involuntarily and would not betray us, but our Zhejiang Kings Division became stronger and stronger, and the Tartars did not slacken in their care. They always had to wait for an opportunity."
“What opportunity?”
As soon as Sun Yu said that, he consciously said more. Not only did they know Wang Jiang’s name of financial management, but also the Tartars also knew that rescue was difficult, and it was really inappropriate to ask. But unexpectedly, Chen Wen gave an answer, which scared him.
"A few days later, the old lady's cold will be completely resolutely searched. You, Han Qizheng, Xu Yi and others from Dalan Mountain have helped to handle the funeral. In a few months, you will surely be able to relieve Governor Wang's trap!"
……………………
At the end of August, news came out of Jinhua Prefecture that the mother of former Zhejiang Governor Wang Jiang had passed away. Chen Wen had already cut off his robe and had a break from his robe for persuading surrender, and he was not present at the funeral. It was handled by several civil servants from Dalanshan, including Sun Yu, Han Qizheng, Xu Yi, etc., which was also a grand funeral.
According to rumors, Wang Jiang's mother has always been raised by Sun Yu in the past two years. She gave the old lady her last journey with her son and nephew gift. It can be regarded as repaying Wang Jiang's kindness when he was in Dalan Mountain, which is a pity.
As for Chen Wen, it is normal for a military man to be a little weak. Moreover, Wang Jiang had the first place to help the Tartars open their eyes and cut off their robe and break their rituals in the big festival. It would be good to be able to turn a blind eye to Sun Yufeng's elderly wife. Otherwise, what else could it be - secretly support the elderly wife and let others win the reputation. How could such a fool be like this?
Today, the Ming army in Zhejiang was born in the Ming army in Dalan Mountain back then, so this matter is not a trivial matter. However, compared to another thing, this matter is at most a topic of conversation after dinner.
The previous method of collecting the household issued by the Marquis's Mansion has caused quite a lot of debate in private among military households. It is nothing to collect the households. Anyway, the military households cannot travel to farm in both places, but the cost of the work is really unacceptable to some people. In the final analysis, the private households have already implemented fire and expenses, but the military households have to collect the work costs, which makes the rich peasants who have been promoted by the political and economic status of the Ming army in Zhejiang feel incomprehensible.
Because the status has been improved for a relatively short time, the strict class in the army and the inferiority complex that has not completely faded after more than two hundred years of imperial court, the military households have made these voices almost unheard of. However, even if they are just whispers, it did not hinder Chen Wen's listening, nor did it prevent him from making corresponding countermeasures.
In the courtyard of Baihu House, Tangya Town, Jinhua County, Jinhua Prefecture, Shi Daniu's mother and a group of military households separated from the radiation range of the town were listening to the Jinbai House's new policy of the Marquis' Mansion. Some of these people were registered officers and soldiers, some were wounded and retired, some were military families, some were martyrs, and some were just renting military fields to replenish troops. However, at this moment, they listened to the preaching without exception, for fear of missing a word.
"The land of military merits is not only obtained from all battles, but also the military rations of the King's Army. Any form of private granting such as selling, exchange, and gifting are not allowed. Violators will be punished severely..."
"The fire consumption of the people's households belongs to the public, which is a good way for the government to reduce the pressure on the people's households in terms of taxes. It is different from the method of collecting land and soil in other places and garrisons. It cannot be said to be the same as the method of collecting land and soil in other places. The method of collecting land and soil cannot be abolished..."
"Since the autumn tax this year, the fields, land, military merits, pensions, military fields, grains, mulberry, cocoons, and silk of military households shall not be sold for private individuals. They shall be purchased at a fair price by the treasury, as well as the soon-to-be-established Changping Warehouse and Silk Monopoly Bureau. Those who dare to sell private individuals with specified outputs shall be severely punished..."
"In addition to signing a collection agreement for rural land, in addition to signing a collection agreement, the harvest can also be signed in advance. The harvest will be sold directly to the treasury under the supervision of the garage station, and the silk and hemp monopoly bureau will be sold directly to the treasury under the supervision of the garage station. The rent will be collected by thousands of households according to the harvest. There is no need to pay the work fee. You can collect it in October and February of the following year when the harvest is completed.
After studying for more than half a day, Jinbaihu was originally illiterate. Later, he studied some in the military. After being injured, he went to the training class for several months. With the accumulation of this period, he finally finished reading the government order notice. However, when he thought of his peers who could only let the officials of the garrison go to study, he was still a little complacent. At least he knew his words now and could read the notice by himself, so it would be much easier to get promoted in the future.
"Jinbaihu, what does this mean? It is not a waste, it is a moderate purchase, and it is a specialty sale. You can tell us everyone."
"That's right, it's so vague that I can't explain it when I go home."
"Explain to your wife?"
"Go, go, go, tell my father and mother, who is like you, is afraid of your wife."
“…”
In a burst of laughter, Jin Baihu glanced at the group of illiterates in the yard and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he had only barely read it at first, but Qianhu, the palm print of Qianhu, took a whole day to explain everything for them, so that they could return to the town to preach.
"I've heard it all, but in fact there are only a few things: First, selling, giving, or replacing anything is not OK. Those who dare to violate it will be severely punished. We are military households, but those who do it are all military law. Don't make the living kings of the Military Law Department unhappy."
Most of the military households present have been rolling in the army. They respect the complex regulations and military laws like ghosts and gods. Even those military judges are not easy to mess with - even the marquis has been punished, so who dares to violate them!
"Second, collecting on behalf of others is not the same as belonging to the public. What is the fire consumption? When collecting taxes, we need to use the money for firewood. We are asking other wards to help find tenants and transport grain. Can it be the same?"
It’s really different when I hear this, but when I think about it carefully, I still have to pay for it, and I always feel a little uncomfortable.
"Third, in the future, grain, cocoons, silk ingots, and cloth are not allowed to be sold to those grain merchants and cloth merchants, and the yamen will come to collect them specifically. If you are outside the country, you can also let the yamen supervise the tenants to sell them directly to the local yamen. In October and February of the following year, you can go to the thousand-household office in the county to directly receive the silver, and you don't have to spend money to get the money for others to transport them."
There are regulations on what to plant in the military households occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang Province. First of all, it is grain. Now mulberry and silkworm cultivation have been added. However, there are only these. Financial crops such as cotton and sugarcane are not in the scope of planting, because there is no sea outlet, so it is not as real as food to improve its strength by smuggling.
It was a little worried that they could only sell it to the government, but they were military households, and they followed the garrison administratively, and basically did not pay taxes in the land. Besides, Chen Wen was still there, so the marquis would not let them suffer losses. As for not spending money, it was a good thing. The crowd chattered and discussed each other in the courtyard, which caused the households passing outside the courtyard to look in and see what hysteria these military households were. However, they heard it clearly, but they still didn't understand some things.
"Jinbaihu, what is affordable? Is it giving more? Is it giving less?"
"That's right, how can I give it to everyone?"
“…”
Like most people around, Shi Daniu's mother didn't understand what it meant. Shi Daniu had already returned to the camp, and her man was a dull man. Her daughter and daughter-in-law were not good at showing up, and her youngest son had already entered the Boy Scout Academy. Now she was the only one who came here to hear what it meant.
When she heard her inquiry, the sound of echoing around her immediately rang out. Some were like her, and they wanted to talk to their family members when they went back and let their family members make the decision, while others simply didn't understand it themselves.
These guys!
"The average price means not giving more, and not giving more. According to the approximate price of previous years, there are not more or less."
"Oh, what should I do if the garrisons and tenants from other places embezzled us?"
"Yes, we can't see it so far."
“…”
They are all garrisons. Although there will be no collection matters on behalf of Jinhua Mansion where he is, if he is promoted, who knows where he will be assigned. After hearing this question, Jinbaihu also felt that the babies of these problems would be calmed down for a while, and immediately shouted.
Chapter completed!
