Chapter 466: How the Landlord Was Refined

At the end of September, the north wind gradually rises, showing the cool weather phenomenon of autumn.

Leizhou City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city is a square structure, and the outer city is connected to the south city wall, showing a semi-circular structure that is not very regular, so the shape of the whole city is square and round.

It is still the same place, with two main streets, one vertical and one horizontal, connecting the four gates, where people often come and go. It seems to be the same as before, and the green brick streets are still written with vicissitudes.

It's just that the people who live in this city know that Leizhou City has changed.

The streets are becoming more lively, the shops are thriving, and the number of beggars on the streets has increased significantly. In particular, there are many wealthy merchants in the city, and they are even looking for houses.

The weavers that no one wanted before are now picky. The craftsmen who couldn't find a job before have now become fragrant and glutinous, and everyone is vying to get over.

As for the outside of Zhenyang Gate, Leizhou Wharf is under construction, and the official road connecting Leizhou Wharf is also being built, showing a hot scene.

In this coming winter, Leizhou City is showing a thriving scene, and it is changing bit by bit and developing in a beautiful direction.

Early in the morning of this day, after Lin Haoran lined up the office in the second hall, he returned directly to the signing room.

As many people imagined, the life of the prefect was actually monotonous and boring, so Lin Haoran sat down at the desk in the back room, drank a refreshing cup of ginseng tea and started working.

Since today is September 28, and it is the day of announcement, this day is again accepting the people's complaints and complaints.

Although there is still a Haikang County Ya under Leizhou City, if the people of Leizhou City want to sue, they will often directly bypass the Haikang County Ya and come to the Leizhou Mansion to hand over the complaint.

But it's not that they don't trust the Haikang County Government at all, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the higher the official rank, the fairer the way things will be. Just like when you are an old court, you won't favor anyone because of a little petty profit.

What's more, the Leizhou Mansion and the Haikang County Mansion are only separated by a Fuxue Palace, and no one will be stingy with this few steps, and they will choose to hand the form to the Leizhou Mansion Palace.

It is precisely in this way that the Haikang County Government almost does not have to work to litigate cases, while the Leizhou Government has to take on this responsibility.

Lin Haoran also slowly became familiar with the role of the prefect, and did not have too many apologies for the matter, and worked hard to become a competent prefect. In fact, most of the cases are directly handed over to the scribe below to "vote for drafting", and finally he can personally "approve the red", and only some big cases require hard work.

"This is a summary of the grain collection in Haikang County in the past five years, and it was just sent by Wei Zhubo!" Sun Jixiang walked in and handed a thick booklet to the front of the case.

Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the efficiency of the Haikang County Ya to be so high, but he was quickly relieved. There is a vacancy in Haikang County, and Master Wei also wants to hold his thick thighs and seek progress, which will naturally not be low.

He is not averse to officials who seek to improve, in essence he is such an official. He used to put a lot of thought into the position of Hanlin attendant, and even now he is thinking about how to return to the capital in style.

Hey?

When Sun Jixiang went out, he glanced at Lin Haoran suspiciously.

He knew that this owner was very "utilitarian" and would definitely not do some useless work. Only this time, he couldn't understand why the owner suddenly wanted to check the situation of the grain requisition.

If the proprietor goes through old accounts and collects taxes and grain from those big tax arrears, he will definitely not believe it. After all, the wisdom of the owner is here, and he will definitely not do such a naïve thing, but if it is not to recover the tax grain, why do you check the grain collection of nearly five grains?

In the end, Sun Jixiang couldn't guess Lin Haoran's thoughts, and went to the officer's office area with a stomach full of doubts to check if there were any major cases.

Rustling......

Lin Haoran lowered his head and carefully flipped through the information, and devoted himself to his work seriously.

Collecting grain in full is an impossible task for any county government. It was good at the beginning of the dynasty, but in today's Jiajing Dynasty, it is a great thing to be able to levy eighty percent, and even in some prefectures and counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sixty percent can be levied to get excellent evaluations.

In addition to the poor people like Xiaoquan Village who cannot afford to pay taxes, there are also powerful people in the local area, and if they refuse to pay taxes, the officials of the county government will have nothing to do.

Take Gong Sanguang of Suicheng as an example, the magistrate of the county has to sell him a little face, if he really doesn't pay taxes, will the officials below who assist in collecting grain really dare to use violence to collect grain?

As such, collecting grain is a very strenuous task, and it is often unsatisfying.

Lin Haoran opened the grain book of Haikang County and found that the previous four years were less than 70%, but this year's autumn grain was more than 80%.

For this discovery, he was very happy, after all, the big families in Haikang County are very face-saving.

It's just that he is also vigilant, which also shows that the big families in Haikang County have more or less the bad habit of resisting taxes. This first time the grain was levied to save face, but he was not sure that he would have to resist the grain next time, and he would even attack him.

After realizing this problem, he seriously investigated it again. Who are the good citizens who have been paying taxes, and who are the diehards who resist grain, he began to investigate one by one.

He was surprised to find that the Qian family, the largest household in Haikang County, turned out to be a good citizen who paid taxes, and had not owed a grain of grain in five years, and he could simply issue pennants as rewards.

At noon, when the refreshments were served, Wei Zhubo heard Lin Haoran's inquiry, and immediately gave a thumbs up to the Qian family and praised: "The Qian family is really a good family in our county!" The Qian family not only did not owe taxes and grain, but also supported some poor children to go to school and pave the way for the construction of bridges in their hometown. ”

"Qian Bin? It's a familiar name, I think I've heard it somewhere. Lin Haoran was stunned for a moment, and he was also puzzled.

Lord Wei Bo smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Qian Bin is the pride of our Haikang County, and it is rare if you haven't heard of it. He is a Jinshi in the Zhengde period, the official to Songjiang Mansion with the knowledge, the official reputation is quite good, after the disarming and returning to the field, and then founded the clan science, the Qian family has produced a lot of scholars, and his great-great-grandson Qian Hui has achieved the tenth place in this year's Guangdong Autumn Festival. ”

Lin Haoran suddenly realized, daring to love this is a rare Ming Jinshi in Haikang County, no wonder he has some impressions. As for why the Qian family became the largest landlord in Haikang County, I am afraid it is also related to Qian Bin.

According to the regulations of the Leizhou government, Jinshi is exempt from tax of 2,000 mu, and people are exempt from tax of 500 mu.

For the benefits of this kind of thing, Lin Haoran is deeply beneficial. When he was in high school, someone took the initiative to send him a field property. And when he won the champion, although the situation was not clear, but this time he came back with a lot of land and property in his name.

Just because of a imperial examination, he went from a proletarian to a large landowner in one fell swoop.

The Qian family was able to become the largest landlord in Haikang County, and it is estimated that it should have originated from Qian Bin, and then there were several scholars who achieved fame, which led to the current Qian family.

I have to say that the best investment in this era is not to do business, but to cultivate a test master. As long as you gain fame, then you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and wealth will roll in.
