Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the privacy of the field
The official fields in Dazheng are divided into imperial villages, granted fields, vocational fields, learning fields, magistrate land, military farmland, etc. For Jiangzhou, the investigation is to give land, vocational fields and learning fields. Giving land is simple. Except for the 300 hectares of land when Han Taibao returned to honor, the other fields are very small, fifty hectares, twenty hectares or even dozens of acres, which are almost negligible; learning fields are also relatively simple, and it is easy to check them.
The biggest purpose of Jiang Anyi's trip was to investigate the land of the court. The land of the court was rented to tenants for farming according to the rank of officials, and rented to tenants for farming and farming. The "Da Zheng Law" stipulates that all officials who priested the people were given land, and the first rank was given five hectares of land, and the second rank was given five acres of land, and the second rank was given five acres of land, and the second rank was given five acres of land, and the second rank was given four hundred acres of land, and the ninth rank was given one hundred acres, and they were not allowed to be bought or sold, and they were repaid. Taking Hong Zhenyang as an example, the fourth rank of the governor of Zhongzhou, the fourth rank was given three hundred acres of land, and the fourth rank was 350 acres of land; Xu Guoxiang was the fifth rank of Zhongzhou, and the third rank was 300 acres of land; Liu Changfeng was the sixth rank of chief of the chief of the official, and the 250 acres of land.
The land of the Ministry of Works is in charge of the military farming department. The specific matters are handled by the county magistrates of each prefecture and county. The book accounts are checked and summarized in June every year and reported to the Secretariat. This book accounts record the distribution of land and the standards for collecting land rent, etc., and are called "white book". In October, land rent is collected based on the records of the white book and paid to officials.
In addition to the white book, there is also a kind of "yellow book" that is built every three years and needs to be kept in the Ministry of Revenue for a long time. The reason why it is called yellow book is because the color of the paper is yellow, and it has been treated with yellow berberries to prevent insect worms and can be stored for a long time. The white book is temporarily for reference, while the yellow book is formally archived. The Qingtian Department checked yellow book from various places in Beijing.
Xu Guoxiang's preparations were not in vain. The number of jobs and fields in Jiangzhou Baizhu's books, the standards for collecting land rents, and the secrets for collection were clearly visible, and there was no problem. Jiang Anyi had been a county magistrate and a governor, and he had some understanding of the shortcomings of jobs and fields. On the surface, the account books that seemed to be flawless were hidden, and they would be peeled off whenever they were touched with the word "official".
The land of vocation is official land, rented to tenant farmers to farm, and there is a relationship between the tenant farmers and vocational land. The rent of vocational land varies. One acre of grain produces one stone to one stone, two or three dou, and the rent ranges from two dou to six dou per acre. How much depends on the officers in charge. From the books, the rent in Jiangzhou Prefecture is not high, four dou per acre, which is considered to be a low collection. Back then, the land of Jiang'anyi family was rented to Wang Bo's family and 60% of the rent was collected (one becomes a tax, the other becomes a species.
, 40% of the actual amount of money), which seems much heavier than renting official fields. But Jiang Anyi knew that ordinary people would rather rent private fields like the Jiang family than to get involved in the field. The reason is that the tax was different. From the book, they only paid four dou of rent, but there were also fields, grass, carts to transport, money, and even mulberry courses that were made by mistake, rice, noodles, chickens, etc. The total amount was no less than that of Jiǔ Dou.
Some officials took advantage of loopholes in management of jobs and fields, did not build them according to actual surveys, took the opportunity to merge with local tyrants, and used those wastelands as jobs and land, and still collected rent and tax from the people. The tax on jobs and fields was heavy, and tenants were unwilling to farm, so the officials of prefectures and counties forced the jobs to the people to rent and rent.
If the farmer fled, the government arrested his relatives and neighbors for land rent.
The temporary office of Qingtian Department was set up in the Yin Hotel, and a courtyard was cleared out separately. Jiang Anyi and his subordinates took the job here. This time, Liu Yixing, Li Laigao came to Jiangzhou, and Fan Siben and Tian stayed at the capital. Qingtian Department also selected four Lingshi and six Shulingshi accompanied him. As the Qingtian Department's envoy Jiang Anyi did not need to check the accounts personally, and summoned everyone to report the investigation at the end of the day.
After checking the accounts for three days, there were no big problems, and there were some small problems. It was nothing but a fine for three or five. It happened to be a fine for Qingtian to take it to the office. No matter how you look at it, it seemed like Xu Guoxiang's intentional arrangement. Jiang Anyi looked around casually and smiled: "It seems that Jiangzhou's vocational field is well organized and can be regarded as a model."
Jiang Anyi's tone was a bit of joke, which made Li Laigao a little unhappy. Li Laigao was an arrogant person. He didn't care much about his career. He was urged by the patriarch Li Mingde to study and support the Li family's door. He was forced to go to Beijing to open his horizons and take the imperial examinations. It was the best to pass the imperial examination. If he could pass the imperial examination, he would have an explanation. However, Jiang Anyi was arranged to go to Qingtian to do an eighth-rank record. By chance, he was appreciated by the emperor and was directly promoted to the seventh-rank chief clerk. Now Li Mingxingyue regarded him as the hope of inheriting the Li family, and looked at him higher than Li Donghong.
Li Mingxing called him to give some advice. The rise and fall of the family, the inheritance of the aristocratic family, the hope of the tribe, and a series of tight curses were recited, which made Li Laigao, who was distracted by nature, feel unwilling to live. Recently, Li Mingxing was planning to find a good marriage for him to add a strong support for his future career. The matters he was valued by the emperor, all officials in the capital knew that family background, character, and talent were all choices. When the news came out, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage was very strong to smooth out Li Mingxing's threshold. When he learned that Jiang Anyi was coming to Jiangzhou to clean up the official fields, Li Laigao volunteered to follow and took the opportunity to take a breath.
Li Laigao was a casual person, and seemed humble but was actually arrogant. At first, even Jiang Anyi did not take it in his eyes. In his eyes, there were mostly bookworms and rice insects who were running for fame and fortune. When making official data comparison charts, Jiang Anyi made a few comments to convince him, so he was honest and destined to do something in Qingtian. I really admired that it was not easy for someone to be. Seeing Jiang Anyi's joking smile, Li Laigao's face turned red and was looked down upon by Brother Jiang, as if he was slapped in the face.
There are also several people who are embarrassed and angry. The adults are obviously dissatisfied with this small matter. Do you have to check this small matter in person? In the past few days, in addition to the small loopholes deliberately left, you can't find the mistakes in the account book. Those clerks and tenants who accept the inquiry have to give instructions in advance, and they can't answer them without any leakage. Under the humble smile, there is pride, ridicule, mockery, and people are full of anger and nowhere to vent.
"Mr. Jiang, Master Li and I have found a lot of clues, but the clerks in the mansion secretly controlled the elbows, leaving us helpless. Master Li believes that we should go to the county first to check it out, so that we can copy the bottom of this group of hypocrites and tear their proud fake faces."
This was a bit gritting. It seemed that people from other people secretly ran into the house these days. Jiang Anyi looked at him with a smile.
The angry face of the speaker was Pan Heyi, the Shi of Kiyotaji. Unlike most of the officials of Kiyotaji, Pan Heyi took the initiative to ask for a job as a member of Kiyotaji.
Jiang Anyi paid attention to Pan Heyi's resume. He is a native of Fuzhou. He is 25 years old this year. His father Pan Xiaozhi was originally the head of Taifu Temple. He died of illness in the 15th year of Fengle. After three years of mourning, Pan Heyi went to Taifu Temple to work as a minor official to save some silver to support his mother and sister. He studied hard at the same time. He passed the imperial examination in the third year of Jianwu and failed the imperial examination in four years. He still worked as a ninth-rank Shulingshi in Taifu Temple.
The emperor ordered Jiang Anyi to form the Qingtian Department and draw personnel from the six ministries and nine ministers' yamen. Everyone avoided it. Pan Heyi took the initiative to ask for the Qingtian Department to work on the job. No matter what purpose it was, the same experience made Jiang Anyi look at Pan Heyi differently. The ninth-rank calligraphy history was promoted to the eighth-rank calligraphy history. This time Jiang Anyi left the capital and wanted to bring him by his side. Everyone knew that as long as the problem could be found, these people who left the capital would definitely be commended by the emperor.
Seeing Lord Jiang smiled and nodded, Shuling and Shuling historians on the side regretted that they gave Pan Heyi the opportunity, and they all agreed. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Brother Liu and Lai Gao made arrangements and take everyone to the county town to see. Everyone worked hard and strive to find problems earlier. After returning to Beijing, Jiang asked Longsui for you to make merit. However, when Jiang said ugly words, whoever dared to take the opportunity to ask for bribes and cause trouble, no matter how longsui issued an order, Jiang will send you directly to prison."
Everyone agreed in unison. Jiang Anyi stood up and left. Lingshi and Shulingshi surrounded Liu Yixing and Li Laigao, waiting for them to arrange wherever they went. Jiang Anyi's position was too far from these Lingshi and Shulingshi, and Liu Yixing and Li Laigao became the targets of these people's pursuit. These two were Lord Jiang's confidants. If they could say a few good words to Lord Jiang, it would be no problem to be promoted to one or two levels after returning to Beijing.
He said flattery and didn't have money, so he sent him away desperately, and took photos of Lord Jiang as the same as these two. Liu Yixing is an old official, and he had a hot fight with everyone. He arranged the itinerary while chatting and laughing. Li Laigao grabbed Pan Heyi and said, "Brother Liu, arrange Heyi with me, and I can talk to him."
Liu Yixing knew that Li Laigao was furious by the officials in Jiangzhou, and smiled and said, "How about the counties of Shitai, Chaohe, Huangtian, Miyi, Shunping?"
"Everywhere is OK, Heyi, let's discuss how to start first." Li Laigao pulled Pan Heyi away. Liu Yixing smiled, thinking that Li Laigao usually looks calm and calm, but he still can't calm down when encountering things. After all, he is young and has few things.
The twelve people were divided into six groups. Jiang Anyi sent all the accompanying Dragon Guards to protect their safety. The guards of Li Laigao and Pan Heyi were Sichen and Siqing. Sichen had a good impression of Li Laigao. Jiang Anyi used public service to help her separate her for protection, and there were many opportunities for contact. As for Siqing, she was a match. If she could become a pair with Pan Heyi, everyone would be happy.
