Chapter 722: The Selfishness of the Field

Dazheng's official fields are divided into Huangzhuang, Citian, Zhitian, Xuetian, Cemetery, Tuntian, etc., for Jiangzhou, it is necessary to check the three kinds of Zhitian, Zhitian and Xuetian. The land is simple, except for the time when Han Taibao returned to the Emperor Zhao to give Zhuang 300 hectares, the other fields are very few, 50 hectares, 20 hectares or even dozens of acres, almost negligible; Gakuda is also relatively simple, and it is easy to check.

The biggest purpose of Jiang Anyi's trip was to take stock of the land that the court granted to officials according to their ranks, and rented them to tenant farmers for cultivation and collected rent (corn). The "Da Zheng Law" stipulates: The officials of the people shall be given the post of land, and the first product will be given five hectares of land, and the amount will be reduced by 50 mu in turn, and the replacement will be paid". When the first-rank official was in office, he gave the court 500 acres of professional land, and the second-rank official gave him 450 acres, decreasing by 50 acres in turn, and when he reached the ninth grade, it was 100 acres, and he was not allowed to buy or sell, and he took it back. Taking Hong Zhenyang as an example, Zhongzhou Thorn Shi is four products, and the division of fields is not divided into master and subordinate, and the four products are all 350 acres; Xu Guoxiang is Zhongzhou's don't drive under the five products, with 300 acres of professional fields; Liu Changfeng is the long history of Zhengliupin, with a field of 250 hectares.

The vocational field belongs to the Ministry of Labor Tuntian Langzhong is in charge, but the specific matters are handled by the state and county drivers, the county Cheng, every June survey a register, summarized and reported to the secretary of the province, this register records the distribution of the field and the standard of collecting field rent, etc., called the "white book", October according to the record of the white book to collect land rent, pay officials.

In addition to the white book, there is also a kind of "yellow book" that is made every three years and needs to be stored in the household department for a long time, which is called the yellow book because the color of the paper is yellow, and it has been treated by the yellow barberry to prevent insect moth, and can be stored for a long time. The white book is a temporary reference, the yellow book is the official archive, and the Kiyoda Division consulted the yellow book in Beijing.

Xu Guoxiang's preparations were not in vain, and the number of fields in Jiangzhou's white book, the standard for collecting land rent, and the painting deposit received were all clear, and there was no problem in sight. Jiang Anyi has done a county order and a history of assassination, and he has some understanding of the disadvantages of Zhitian, and the account books that seem to be flawless on the surface hide countless **, but if he gets an official word, he will be stripped of his skin.

The land is official land, leased to those tenant farmers for farming, and the relationship between tenant farmers and vocational fields is rented, and the rent amount of rented land varies from one stone to one stone and two or three buckets of grain per acre, and the rent amount ranges from two buckets to six buckets per mu, and the amount depends on the officials who operate it. Judging from the books, the rent of Jiangzhou Prefecture is not high, four buckets and one mu, which is considered to be a low income, and the land of Jiang Anyi's family was rented to Wang Bo's family, and sixty percent of the rent was charged (one became a endowment, one became a seed, and forty percent was obtained), which seemed to be much heavier than renting official land. But Jiang Anyi knew that the common people would rather choose to rent private land like the Jiang family than work on the farm. The reason is that the tax is poor, and only four buckets of rent are paid for renting and planting fields from the books, but there are also vocational fields and grass, rice and hired cars to carry them, foot money, and even mulberry classes, rice consumption, Hu noodles, tenant chickens, etc., and the total consumption is not less than that of Ji Ji Dou.

Some officials took advantage of the loopholes in the management of the professional fields, did not survey according to the actual conditions, and took the opportunity to merge the professional fields with the local tyrants, and used those idle and barren lands as vocational fields, and collected taxes from the people as usual. The tax on the land was heavy, and the tenant farmers were unwilling to cultivate, so the state and county officials forcibly apportioned the land to the people to rent and share

If the peasants fled, the government would arrest their relatives and ask for rent.

The temporary office of the Qingtian Division was set up in the Yin Hotel, and a courtyard was cleared out alone, and Jiang Anyi and his subordinates were on errands here. This time, Liu Yixing and Li Laigao came to Jiangzhou to accompany them, Fan Siben and Tian Shoulou stayed in Beijing, and Qingtian Sizhong also selected four Lingshi and six Shulingshi to accompany him. As the envoy of Qingtian, Jiang Anyi did not need to personally check the accounts in person, and convened everyone at the end of the day to report the situation of the inventory.

After checking the accounts for three days, there are no big problems, there are some small problems, and it is nothing more than a matter of fines and three or five boards, just let Qingtian Division take it to pay the errand, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Xu Guoxiang deliberately arranged it. Jiang Anyi looked at it casually and said with a smile: "It seems that Jiangzhou's vocational field is doing a good job, which is exemplary." ”

Jiang Anyi's tone was a little joking, which made Li Laigao a little unhappy. Li Laigao is an arrogant person, he originally didn't care much about his career, and was urged by the patriarch Li Mingde to study and support the Li family's portal. was forced to be in a hurry, Li Laigao wanted to follow Jiang Anyi into Beijing to open his eyes, and by the way, he participated in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, he was arranged by Jiang Anyi to Qingtian Division to do the eight-grade record, and by chance, he was appreciated by the Son of Heaven and directly promoted to the seven-grade master book, and now Li Mingxing regarded him more and more as the hope of the Li family's inheritance, and he looked at it higher than Li Donghong.

Li Mingxing has nothing to do to call him to mention, the rise and fall of the family, the inheritance of the family, the hope of the clan, a series of tight mantras are recited, so that the loose Li Laigao is in pain, recently Li Mingxing is looking for a good family for him in Zhangluo, adding strong support to his future career. He was valued by the Son of Heaven, and the officials in the capital all knew that his family background, character, and talent were all the choices, and the rumors were released, and the matchmaker who came to propose marriage had the potential to smooth the threshold of Li Mingxing. Knowing that Jiang Anyi was coming to Jiangzhou to clean up the official fields, Li Laigao took the initiative to ask Ying's entourage and took the opportunity to take a few breaths.

Li Laigao is loose in nature, seemingly modest but arrogant, at first even Jiang Anyi did not put it in his eyes, in his eyes are mostly bookworms and rice worms who are running for fame and fortune. It's not easy to really admire a person, seeing Jiang Anyi's playful smile, Li Laigao's face turned red all of a sudden, and he was looked down upon by Brother Jiang, like being slapped in the face.

There are also a few people who are ashamed of the history of the order and the history of the book, and the adults are obviously dissatisfied, so do the adults have to check this little thing in person. In the past few days, except for the small loopholes deliberately left, it is impossible to find the mistakes in the account book, and those officials and tenant farmers who accept those inquiries have been instructed in advance, and the answers are not leaky, and the humble smiles hide smugness, ridicule, and mockery, which makes people hold back their anger and have nowhere to vent.

"Master Jiang, Master Li and I have found a lot of clues, but the officials in the Don't Drive Mansion are secretly controlling the elbows, so I have nothing to do. Master Li thinks that we should go to the county to check first, so that we can copy the bottom of this group of hypocrites and tear up their proud fake faces. ”

This is said with a bit of gritted teeth, it seems that in the past few days, it has been secretly squeezed by people from other driving houses. Jiang Anyi looked at it with a smile

The speaker's angry face was the commander of the Qingtian Division, Pan Heyi, and unlike most of the officials of the Qingtian Division, Pan Heyi took the initiative to ask to be appointed to the Qingtian Division.

Jiang Anyi paid attention to Pan Heyi's resume, a native of Fuzhou, 25 years old this year, and his father Pan Xiaozhi was originally a Taifu Temple Cheng, and Fengle died of illness in 15 years. After three years of filial piety, Pan and Yi kept filial piety, went to Taifu Temple to be a small official to save some silver taels to support his mother and sister, and at the same time studied hard, Jianwu was promoted in the three-year examination, and failed in the imperial examination for four years.

The Son of Heaven ordered Jiang Anyi to set up the Qingtian Division, and transferred people from the six Jiuqing Yamen, everyone avoided it, but Pan Heyi took the initiative to ask to come to the Qingtian Division to do business, no matter what its purpose, the same experience made Jiang Anyi look at Pan Heyi differently, and the book of the nine products was promoted to the history of the eight products, and Jiang Anyi intended to take him with him this time, everyone knew that as long as the problem could be investigated, this group of people who went out of Beijing would definitely be rewarded by the Son of Heaven.

Seeing Lord Jiang smiling and nodding, the scholars and scholars on the side regretted that Pan Heyi had taken the lead, and they all echoed it. Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "In this case, Brother Liu and Laigao will arrange to take everyone to the county seat to have a look, everyone will work hard, and strive to find the problem as soon as possible, and after returning to Beijing, Jiang will ask for credit for you." However, Jiang Mou's ugly words came to the front, who dared to take the opportunity to ask for bribes to make trouble, there was no need to make an order, Jiang Mou would send you directly to prison. ”

Everyone agreed in unison. Jiang Anyi got up to leave, and those Lingshi and Shulingshi gathered around Liu Yixing and Li Laigao, waiting for them to arrange who to go where. Jiang Anyi's position is too far away from these Lingshi and Shulingshi, Liu Yixing and Li Laigao have become the targets of these people's pursuit, these two are Jiang's cronies, if they can say a few good words to Jiang's master, it will not be a problem to be promoted to one or two ranks after returning to Beijing.

Flattery doesn't cost money, and desperately sends it out, and it can't be the same as Lord Jiang to shoot these two. Liu Yixing is an old fritter in officialdom, playing and fighting with everyone, and arranging the itinerary while talking and laughing. Li Laigao grabbed Pan Heyi and said, "Brother Liu, arrange Heyi to be with me, and I can talk to him." ”

Liu Yixing knew that Li Laigao was provoked by the officials in Jiangzhou, and said with a smile: "Okay, how about Shitai, Chaohe, Huangtian, Miyi, and Shunping counties?" ”

"Anywhere, 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 he still can't hold his breath when he encounters things, after all, he is young and has little experience.

Twelve people were divided into six groups, Jiang Anyi sent the accompanying dragon guards out to protect their safety, Li Laigao and Pan Heyi's guards in this group were Sichen and Siqing, Sichen had a good impression of Li Laigao, Jiang Anyi pretended to be public and private to divide her to defend, there were more opportunities for contact, as for Siqing, it was a match, if she could be a pair with Pan Heyi, they would be happy.

Sending off his subordinates, the Yin Hotel became deserted, Jiang Anyi has always been used to charging into battle, but now he is a little unaccustomed to changing his identity and enjoying his success. Self-deprecatingly recalling the situation when he went to Qingtian in Renzhou with Yu Shi, Jiang Anyi came to find King Luohuai, and it was rare to have free time, and it seemed that it was time to visit Han's house in Yulan County.
