After the Wenlin Society gathering, Lin Yanchao closed the door and studied at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And those who came to ask Lin Yanchao about his knowledge also knew that Lin Yanchao would go in and out of the Wenlin Society, so it was understandable that Lin Yanchao refused to see guests on weekdays.

In this way, Lin Yanchao killed two birds with one stone, not only to vacate his own leisure, but also to expand the reputation of Wenlin Society.

So Lin Yanchao has recovered, and he was happy at home at the beginning, and he couldn't let go of the happy days.

In the past few months, Lin Yanchao has been busy with the affairs of Wenlin Society, and several things have happened at home.

First of all, the third uncle and three aunts poured silver on Dongmen Street, which opened in February.

With the help of his father-in-law, Cheng Yuan, the third uncle went to worship the mountains everywhere before the opening, and after the relationship was established, the silver shop was successfully opened.

After opening, business was not bad, which surprised the third uncle.

Originally, I thought that there was still a period of time in June, before a whip law, June was a summer tax, and in Fujian in the past, it was converted into silk to offset the tax, but now it is changed to silver. As for the autumn grain in October, that's even farther away. Therefore, I thought that the time had not yet come for the people to exchange copper coins for silver.

But the unexpected is that the business is still good, in addition to the summer tax and autumn grain, the common people also have to pay the ding tax from time to time (the Ming Dynasty has not yet implemented the apportionment into the mu), miscellaneous labor (that is, the difference in the strength of the personal contribution, the difference in the silver for the money), the three offices of the Lijia (including the imperial court to the local collection of part of the tribute), after the implementation of a whip law, the difference can also be offset by silver, no longer need to serve by force.

In addition, the people who poured silver into the door paid the above taxes, in addition, the summer tax and autumn grain arrears last year, and the government came to urge the department, and the common people hurriedly came to exchange copper coins for silver.

The silver exchange ratio is one or two pairs of nine hundred dollars, and Tong Su is not bullied, if he meets his own relatives in Hongtang Township. The third uncle will secretly give a personal price again, according to Lin Gaozhu's old man's words, this is to take care of the villagers, and people must not forget their roots.

In addition, the Tilt Silver Shop also provides the business of exchanging large ingots for small ingots and small ingots for large ingots, so even if it is not in June. In October, during the peak tax season, business is also good.

In the past few days of opening the store, the third uncle and the third aunt are all in the shop, and they only go home once in a while, the last time Lin Yanchao happened to see the third uncle, but he saw that he was wearing a melon skin hat, and he also had a cigarette pouch on his body, and he was dressed in brocade clothes, which made him look rich and magnificent.

It seems that the third uncle hasn't made much money yet. But running such a big business, the world has seen a wide range of things, and the whole temperament is different.

It can be seen that the eldest lady is very sour, and it is also that the eldest aunt is originally in a long house at home, and her status is the most prominent. But after a few years of mixing, Lin Yanchao soared into the sky. Forget it, even the third uncle, who has always looked down on him, is becoming more and more mixed.

So the eldest lady pinned her hopes on Lin Yanshou. Lin Yanshou failed in the last county test, and his family sent him to the academy again, and I don't know how well he reads.

But in the mouth of the uncle and aunt, every word still boasted and trusted his son.

The Lin family's weather is changing day by day, and Lin Gaozhu is also happy. He has also been transferred to the ambassador of Cang, and under the resignation of Zhou Zhixian, he finally got the errand done.

There are no major events in the cang, and there is a fighting level in the cang, a deputy envoy. It's good to save the classics, repair the warehouse, and look at the library, Lin Gao can go once a day, and his old man just drinks tea, watches plays, and smokes all day long.

As for Lin Yanchao's move, there are also people who have settled down one after another to take refuge, and they want to be enslaved under the name of the Lin family, and there are also those who want to send fields.

As we all know, only the poor show the rich.

Xiucai can be so poor that he doesn't know anything, but after he lifts people, he says goodbye to the hard days, and that's because he can be exempted from tax and military service.

After someone is suddenly lifted, it is normal to have hundreds of acres of land in your name overnight, which is because others send the land in your name to avoid taxes.

This is of course a good thing for Lin Yanchao's family, but it is a disaster for the entire country and nation. In the late Ming Dynasty, taxes were difficult, and the state could not come up with the money, so it had to raise taxes on the people three times, which finally led to the bankruptcy of the yeoman farmers, and Li Zicheng led the exiles to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for this is that many fields have been swallowed up by scholars and imperial relatives in a treacherous situation, resulting in no taxes to be collected by the imperial court.

After discussing with his family, Lin Yanchao warned them not to send the fields. This is not Lin Yanchao's high-spirited festival, nor is it to start a war with the unspoken rules, the reason is that it is now a severe crackdown, and the wind is too tight.

Since Zhang Juzheng came to power, he has been actively carrying out the process of clearing land throughout the country and strictly investigating the deceitful behavior of such officials and gentry.

Therefore, no matter how later generations criticized Zhang Juzheng's reforms, but no one can blame this alone, in history, during the period of Zhang Juzheng's administration, the whole country has accumulated more than 1.47 million hectares of land that has been deceitfully sent, concealed, and reclaimed.

What is the concept of more than 1.47 million hectares, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the land in the world is only 8.5 million. In the future, there are only less, not more!

Such vigorous and resolute means are both unprecedented and unprecedented, and the Ming Dynasty has no second chief assistant except Zhang Juzheng, who dares to wage war against vested interests like this. Because this is going to be scolded by the whole corporal doctor and poked in the back.

It is easy to make increments, but it is difficult to make stocks. To put it bluntly, it is easy to make a cake, but it is difficult to divide the cake. In addition to changing the dynasty, those who dare to change the rules of sharing cakes in the system will never have a good end.

In the ten words of self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world, Zhang Juzheng can be called a practitioner.

Therefore, after Lin Yanchao was lifted, he warned his family not to allow others to send land, at least not for a few years, although it was okay to be found out, but it would affect the reputation of his business, and if he was found out before the test, it would even affect his own reputation.

Therefore, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Lin Yanchao is now a little wealthy, and he is not a person who lacks this money, so he repeatedly warned his family not to allow others to send land.

But Lin Yanchao did not object to being a slave.

The family also needs manpower, Lin Qianqian, as Mrs. Xie Yuan, Lin Yanchao can't let her be busy on the stove all day long.

What's more, the uncle had already had this thought, and bought a family, and the woman was rough as a mother-in-law on weekdays, cooking tea and rice, and cleaning the house.

The men led the carts to feed the horses and opened the door to welcome guests, and the boys of their family were given to Lin Yanchao, and Lin Yanshou was called a scholar.

This family of three lived in the wing room in the south of the front yard, opposite the house. The family has a large population, and Lin Gaozhu is negotiating a good price with his neighbors to buy the house next door.

In the small alley where Xie Yuandi is written, the population of the Lin Mansion has gradually increased, and it has become more and more like a big family. (To be continued.) )
