Chapter 1135 Sun Family Village
The compilation originated from this dynasty.
In the thirty-third year of Jiajing's reign, because the southeast was invaded by Japanese pirates, the imperial court sent an additional 400,000 taels to Jiangnan, thus giving rise to this legitimate miscellaneous tax in the Ming Dynasty.
Shuntian Mansion is located in the capital. Although it has not been harmed by Japanese pirates, it can still list many names, so it has become a blood-sucking place for the imperial government's finances.
Lin Haoran is now the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Although he knows that resisting "promotion" is contrary to the wishes of the imperial court and may even be disliked by the current emperor Jiajing, since he is already sitting in this position, he should be responsible for hundreds of people.
Hundreds of "protests" broke out in Wanshun Tianfu.
It's not that he suddenly became decent, but that he was already in the third rank of Shuntian Prefecture at the age of twenty-one. Even if he was favored by Jiajing, it would be impossible to elevate him to the position of chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing at the moment is to gain a good official reputation and obtain a big killer that can break the shackles of age. As for whether it will arouse Jiajing's resentment, he believes that Jiajing will not be such a petty person.
Lin Jinyuan led the people to light the lights in the room and burn some sandalwood that could repel mosquitoes, and then quietly retreated.
Under the lamp, Lin Haoran laid pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. He held his breath and concentrated before picking up the pen and started drafting.
"Yin Lin Haoran of Shuntian Prefecture would like to report: The shortcomings of raising the quota are due to the increase of the amount. I have read the summer and autumn taxes of the prefecture's states and counties, and found that the amount of silver can only be reduced to 109,000 taels, and the additional quota is as much as 112,000 taels.
More than six hundred taels. Shuntian is located under the capital. Purchases and dispatches are endless, and people are encouraged to lend money. Only in the two counties of Wanping and Daxing, some people fled without leaving a single person, and only two were left.
Three households."
First, "the disadvantages of improving the compilation are the difficulty of correcting the quotation" as a major argument of the memorial, and then write down the disadvantages and harms of the promotion. The first part of this memorial is completed.
Perhaps due to the inertia of later generations' thinking, he did not like the lyrical style of this era that was concerned about the country and the people. He preferred to list specific data and then state the problem.
This way of thinking actually brought him some benefits, allowing him to more effectively attack his enemies through memorials, or to explain his views clearly.
Everyone knows that the most important thing for the people is the grain tax, but now he adopts "the disadvantages of raising the tax, and suffering from the increase in the amount", which is undoubtedly a relatively shocking evidence, and easily illustrates the serious harm of raising the tax.
As for the incident of running away from Ding, it is not a fabrication, but in fact, Ti Bianyin cannot be entirely blamed.
Wanping and Daxing counties are adjacent to the capital. Faced with this high burden, many people prefer to make a living in the capital and work as long-term workers in the homes of wealthy families in the capital.
But here, Lin Haoran pretended to be confused and poured dirty water directly on the silver tape.
Lin Haoran also paused, twisting his sleeves with his hands, and continued to splash ink on the white rice paper.
"Now is the time for the equalization of corvee. It is advisable to order the county magistrates of each state to check the original amount of the ding farmland in the territory in advance, correct the delinquency, and punish the redundant due to the levy. Then, according to the amount of ding grain, the severity of the tax and service will be determined.
, make sure that the labor force is evenly distributed, and no extra labor is allowed."
After pointing out the problem, Lin Haoran put forward some unrealistic political ideas, hoping that the court would not "make up extra stuff."
Naturally, it is difficult to completely cure the problem. Just as Jiajing has tasted the sweetness of depriving Zongfan of Lumi, it is simply impossible for him to stop "depriving Zongfan of Lumi" from now on.
At present, 112,600 taels of silver can be obtained from the people of Shuntian Prefecture through promotion. The imperial court will not give up easily. Naturally, it will continue to keep an eye on this piece of fat.
Of course, now that Lin Haoran has exposed these injustices, even if the imperial court still proposes new officials in the future, I am afraid they will be restrained.
After writing the memorial, Lin Haoran revised a few words and polished the memorial, striving to make it perfect. After doing this, he took a blank memorial from the bookshelf next to him and copied it.
The prepared memorial was carefully transcribed on it.
"Brother, sister-in-law asked you to take a bath!"
Huniu walked out and reminded in a crisp voice.
Lin Haoran's eyes lit up, he put together the memorial he had just written, and said to Huniu who had just finished taking a bath: "Huniu, help me deliver a memorial to the General Affairs Department tomorrow!"
The General Secretary is in the south of the city, and he now lives in the north. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
Now he usually leaves it to Lin Fu and others, but for some important memorials, he still prefers to leave it to Huniu, a wild girl. It's not that he doesn't trust other people, but leaving it to Huniu will make him feel more at ease.
"Okay! But when you go to Sunjiazhuang the day after tomorrow, you must take me there!" Huniu took the memorial and took the opportunity to make a condition.
Lin Haoran was different from the powerful parents of this era. Facing Huniu's bargaining, he felt that it was a very reasonable thing and he replied happily: "Deal!"
Huniu's eyebrows were slightly raised, her beautiful big eyes were bright, and she immediately put the memorial into her clothes. She decided to go to the General Affairs Department tomorrow morning and eat the shrimp dumplings there.
The officialdom of the capital has entered a brief period of tranquility. Nothing major has happened in recent days, and everything seems so peaceful. However, many people know that a great turmoil is coming.
Lin Haoran was located in the north of the city, but he seemed to be far away from the court, and he was working conscientiously as the governor of Shuntian.
After presiding over the court order, he took a carriage and headed towards Xizhimen. From Xizhimen he left the bustling city of Beijing, and the harvest scenery of the suburbs immediately came into view.
It's May, the rice fields in the suburbs are golden, and it's the harvest season.
Rice in the capital is expensive, and many wealthy households are worried that one day the Mongolian army will besiege the city again. Therefore, many wealthy people are more willing to buy land in the suburbs of Beijing. As a result, the western suburbs are either imperial or wealthy.
Benedict...
Tigress, who was wearing a fighting fish costume, rode a red date horse and walked majestically at the front. Since she was able to ride a horse, she no longer rides in a carriage and prefers the feeling of riding a horse.
After arriving at Shili Township, more than ten miles to the west is Sunjiazhuang.
The immigrants from Sunjiazhuang during the Ming Dynasty were forced to come to Beijing in order to build Beijing. Some people returned to their hometowns after serving in the army, while others chose to stay here and directly open up wasteland in the wilderness of Beijing.
The ancestors of Sunjiazhuang were two brothers, so there was a distinction between big houses and second houses in the village, and two ancestral halls were built. However, over the years, this distinction has gradually faded.
Sun Jixiang returned to the village first, and the clan leader was extremely excited and concerned when he learned that Lord Fu Yin was coming. He organized everyone here early to wait for Lord Fu Yin's arrival.
"Jixiang, will your elders really come to our mountain nook today?" The clan leader, who led the villagers waiting at the entrance of the village, was still unsure, but asked seriously again.
Other villagers also looked at Sun Jixiang one after another, with doubts and expectations in their eyes.
Facing the clan leader's question, Sun Jixiang seemed impatient and gave an affirmative answer.
He initially thought that Lin Haoran's arrival was a small matter, but with the expectant expressions on the villagers' faces, he gradually understood its great significance.
If Lin Haoran can really get here, it will not only bring great reputation to Sun Jixiang, but also bring great honor to his family, and will also make the whole village proud.
"Coming! Coming!"
