Liang Teng sat in charge of the household department, and even gathered the subordinate officials, and began to calculate the money and grain owed by the provinces.

To calculate, it is natural to start from Nanzhili and Fujian, especially Nanzhili, it only took a few days of hard work, and the official grain that was roughly in deficit was counted, a total of 330,000 quintals.

The prefectures of Nanzhili received the official letter from the household department, and the prefects were dumbfounded one by one.

There is no heavenly reason, there is no heavenly reason, 330,000 quintals, 14 prefectures, one prefecture is 20,000 or 30,000 quintals, but 20,000 or 30,000 quintals may be a drop in the bucket for a province, but if it is a government, it is completely different.

Even if it is according to the household of the silver, this is also tens of thousands of taels of silver, to be honest, in fact, everyone has not taken advantage of the loss, a prefect, soft-hearted, casually there are one or two thousand quintals, and those with a black heart, three or four thousand quintals are not impossible.

After the grain arrived, he immediately gave it to the grain merchant, and the silver of the snowflake came.

But the problem is that after the prefect is greedy for ink, he does not eat alone, but to be filial to his superiors. My own teacher, do you want people to carry gifts during the New Year's holidays, as well as some of the directors of the household department and the official department, do you want to send some things every other day? Just ushered in the send-off, almost half of the official food that was eaten was gone, and the rest was their own coffin book, even if they were handed over, it would not be enough to fill the shortfall.

Moreover, there is a more terrible problem in it, that is, the land of Qingzhang, these silver prefects and county governors are not greedy, but usually those squires and local officials do something, but they do not pay less, and now they have to fill the vacancy, not only spit out their own money and grain. You have to collect all the grain taxes that the gentry didn't pay, but even so, can you still bring back the Bing Jing Tan Jing that was sent out?

The prefects were dumbfounded, and when they looked at the official document carefully, they all took a deep breath of cold air. Next, even more cheating, if you don't pay off the quota, the court will clean you up, and now His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, and has already planned to find a few chickens to kill. It's called killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

If you don't pay, won't your good official body become a chicken to be slaughtered?

Moreover, it is reported that the various provinces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been inspected, and the secret agents of the factory guards have also been sent to various prefectures. This is obviously that if you can't pay the food, it will kill your rhythm.

All of a sudden, the entire Nanzhili Yamen turned the sky upside down, and there was a wail everywhere, and the officials gathered together and kept calculating, and the more they calculated, the more tragic it became.

The only thing that is thankful is. Although he can't pay it under his own rule, can he pay it all in other provinces? Thinking of this, everyone was a little relieved, after all. The law does not blame the public.

Merely...... Having said that, the problem arises again, even if the law does not hold the people accountable, then the court will definitely have to punish some people who are unwilling to do their best. Whoever lags behind is unlucky, therefore. In any case, you have to make up all the official rations you can get, and you don't have to complete the quota, at least, you can't lag behind others, just like a person who is chased by a lion, you don't need to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day, but you just need to run faster than others.

A huge grain requisition campaign finally kicked off, and all prefectures and counties put up lists one after another, which was nothing more than a warning to everyone that the government was going to collect grain, and the purpose was to re-clear the land, but all the rich households who concealed the land had to clear the land and pay the grain tax.

The official document was posted, and many people were still waiting, wanting to see how the government would recover the law, and those influential gentry didn't have anything to worry about, anyway, how to clear it, they couldn't pay it off their heads, after all, there were people above them.

It's just that the small and medium-sized landlords are worried, the life of the past two years is really not good, not to mention the daily drop in rent, people are tax-free and tax-free, but their own taxes are high, and finally spent money up and down, and finally concealed a lot of land, exempted from taxes, but now, and have to be cleared again, which means that the silver that was dotted in the past has been lost.

In fact, since the new deal in Zhejiang, due to the shortage of manpower, many rich households have reached the verge of collapse and bankruptcy.

As a result, the officials of the prefecture and county went to the countryside like wolves, and everyone understood that the government was going to move seriously, and when they saw that the officers came to their own fields and began to measure the fields, these people hurriedly went to negotiate.

If the official grain is to be recovered, the big men can't be allowed to pay for their own money, and as for the few rich families, they obviously don't dare to embarrass them. I have no choice but to look for you.

At this moment, many people couldn't help but feel cold.

Black, black enough!

Usually eat ours and take ours, we are asked to raise donations for study, and we are also required to participate in the construction of embankments.

In fact, there are really people who can't survive, the landlords in Zhejiang can still barely support the past when the rent is pressed to the lowest, because of tax cuts and exemptions, but here, on the one hand, the labor cost is rising day by day, on the other hand, the grain tax is fiercer than the tiger, and the surplus grain of the landlord's family is afraid that it will really be scavenged and dispersed.

The anger finally burst out, the gentry had no way to live, some people scolded Xu Qian for being nosy, and some people scolded the old men of Nanzhili for not following the new policy of tax reduction, but instead apportioning a lot.

The academic controversy has sparked again.

The old scholars scolded the new policy, and after the new policy, the price of manpower rose, and scolded Xu Qian, the governor of Zhejiang, for writing to recover the official grain; Wang Xue's people denounced the government's corruption and lawlessness, and demanded the implementation of a new policy and a reduction or exemption of grain taxes.

There is a lot of trouble in the countryside, and there is no trouble in Fuli County.

It's just that the officials of various prefectures and counties are under a lot of pressure, such as Yin Zhumao of Yingtianfu Mansion, who has a headache.

He is a native of Shanxi, originally served as the official of Dali Temple in Beijing, and now he is released here, and he can't help but be disgusted by the popularity of Wang Xue here in the south of the Yangtze River, so he cheered up to rectify the academic affairs, since he is willing to take the lead, the prefects of the other prefectures who are silent also feel that they have found the backbone, and they have followed up.

It's just that it didn't take long for the household department to follow, Ying Tianfu should recover the most official food, a full 47,000 quintals, Zhu Fuyin almost fainted, he was an official transferred from the Beijing Division, and the reason why he reported a lot of losses was because there were many relationships in the Beijing Division, and it was essential to go to the top to deal with it. In addition, Nanjing is a place where local tyrants gather, and many wealthy families have already taken root here, which one is not easy to provoke, they want to conceal the land, as Ying Tianfu Yin, can you still force them to pay the grain tax obediently?

Ying Tianfu is different from other places, the big squires in other places can still touch it, and the right is to fight tigers, but here, none of them can be provoked, and even many granges of vassal kings are here, do you dare to be uncomfortable with the vassal king?

Up to now, Zhu Mao has no heart to care about Wang Xue's affairs, and now he is trying his best to collect grain, and if he wants to collect grain, he must start with these small and medium-sized households, and the small households will become medium households, and the middle households will become large households, all in all, how much can be taken as much.

It's just that those small and medium-sized landlords see that you don't take care of the big households, where are you willing to comply, they inevitably want to launch a struggle against the villagers and tenants, and the officials are collecting grain from below, which can be described as a difficult step, and they have to deal with a few fierce landlords, so they finally calm down the situation.

I thought that now that An was born, the situation can obviously be calmed down, but who would have thought that the academic dispute in Nanjing has made trouble again, Wang Xue and the old school are coaxing, and they are jumping and scolding, after all, the students and scholars, and even many officials, their respective interests are completely different, and the affairs of the countryside are actually closely related to them, and now the interest groups of Ying Tianfu have undergone earth-shaking changes, such as planting mulberry and cotton at home, and they support the New Deal, or those who have business in Zhejiang also support the New Deal and support Wang Xue. As for those who grow grain, some people think that Zhejiang's grain tax reduction and exemption is beneficial to themselves, and they also support Wang Xue, of course, many stubborn people, is to regard Wang Xue as pseudo-learning, at this time Xu Qian went to the book, and hit them hard, many people are on the verge of bankruptcy, and even there are people from Ruyifang who are buying land everywhere, anyway, you can't do it, it's better to sell the land, land, is their foundation, it is impossible to sell land, but not to sell, every year is a net loss, and now the government has to re-measure the land, This is even more sad, even the days can't go on, when the landlord still thinks about whether there is food next year, but now, many small and medium-sized landlords in Yingtianfu really have to consider this problem.

The contradiction has begun to sharpen, and it is impossible to calm it down, originally as long as this Fu Yin has a school dispute, he will immediately be as excited as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, but now, he has no time to take care of him, and if he can take care of this side, he can't take care of that side.

At this time, a piece of news came, which completely pushed the academic dispute to the first place.

Xu Qian, the left deputy governor of the Imperial Court and the governor of Zhejiang, is about to pass through Nanjing, and visit Mr. Yang Ming to ask Wang Xuejingyi.

This is a very brief news, the official passed by somewhere, to visit the local Confucian celebrities, but it is a common thing, it was a beautiful talk, but now this news, but it is completely different, one is the founder of Wang Xue, the other is the leader of the new policy and the spiritual leader of Wang Xue, this surname Xu, what does it mean, he came to visit, and what is his intention.

After hearing this news, Wang Xuemen people, greatly encouraged, a moment of joy and thunder, Wang Xue's officials in the counties of Nanzhili, Wang students, Wang bachelor's gentry, have gathered in Nanjing, planning to participate in the grand event, of course, naturally hope to meet Xu Futai.
