Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

After Tanchun got married, Jia's mother's only involvement was Baoyu in Jinling.

She would chatter before Jia Daishan's spirit every day, begging Jia Daishan to bless Baoyu's success in one fell swoop, Li Wan and her relatives in the back street also prayed every day, and Jialan Jialan Jiazhu also returned to Jinling to test the water.

On the eighth day of August, Baoyu Jialan and Jiajun Jialan entered 8 games, escorted by Jia Ling and Jia Yun.

Jia Yun is now a model county magistrate in Haijiang, and she personally came to send the exams to several brothers and Baoyu, but it was very face-saving.

Jia Yun came here to deliver the exam, and secondly, to convey Jia Lian's meaning. Jia Lian hoped that several people would not return to Beijing in a hurry after the exam.I hope that a few of you will go to Haijiang to practice in the officialdom and learn the rules of the officialdom.

Furthermore, Jia Lian also wanted to introduce the descendants of these families to his colleagues, so that they could get acquainted with each other so that they could take care of them in the future.

Except for Baoyu who is eager to return home, Jialan Jiazhu and Jialan are all wild boys. Hearing that he can go to the sea to study, he was so happy that he was busy ordering the boys to send letters home, and each of them used Jia Lian as a cover: "Lian Er Uncle said, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, let me go to Haijiang as a trainee!"

Jia Lian is now a mythical figure in the Jia clan, and Sister Feng and her children have all been to the sea, if it was a barren land, how could Jia Lian have the heart to marry Qiao sister to her son.Furthermore, even if it was a barren land, if Jia Lian opened his mouth, he wouldn't dare not go!

At the beginning of September, Jia Lian's messenger sent the letter back to Beijing before the government. Baoyu Jialan, Jiazhu, and Jialan were four high school candidates who participated in the Luming Banquet hosted by the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Jinling.

This time, Jia's mansion is well-known in Jinling.

The chief envoy of Jiangsu personally wrote the plaque of "Biography of Poetry and Rites" and sent it to Jia's old house in Jinling with gongs and drums.

When Jia She heard this, he really hated himself for not personally escorting his grandsons back to their hometown, so that he missed the opportunity to show his face.

Then, the government's good news arrived.

The sound of drums and music in front of Rongning Second Mansion never stopped all day long.

Afterwards, the Jia Mansion hosted a banquet for the guests.

Sister Feng led a group of old women from Jia's family to Tianqi Temple to give porridge, and then the boys from the clan went to Tiekan Temple to kneel scriptures.

Since the incident with Brother Zhang Jin, Sister Feng has never dealt with nuns again, and all the religious affairs are handed over to Taoist Zhang of Tiekan Temple.

However, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September, Jia's mansion had a grand banquet for four people in one go.

Relatives and friends came to congratulate, even the empress Yu Liuyue sent someone to congratulate her, it was a great honor.

Mother Jia's face was frozen with laughter all day.

Since then, the girls of the Jia clan, even the girls from the side branches, have become the targets of the Qing nobles in Kyoto vying for marriage.

Jialan and Jiajun are just the first batch of students cultivated by the Jia family, and there are three more students in the future. Each time, ten students are selected to enroll, and now they are all in the government school.Good guy, a group of four Juren, how many Jinshi Jia will get in the future!

It is good to make friends as early as possible.

Looking back, he said that Jia Lian and Baoyu had arrived in Haijiang. Jia Lian asked the four of them to write out their Fu silently and pointed out their deficiencies one by one.

After that, Jia Lian said: "Baoyu's essays have made great progress, and Jia Lan has also touched the threshold of Jinshi. He can participate in next year's Chunwei. , You are like a Jinshi like a wife, and your status is evident. In my opinion, you guys wait for another subject. A 30-year-old Jinshi is not too old. You are only 15 years old now. Don’t worry. The ranking won't be very good, it's a bit difficult to take the test of Shu Ji Shi, you can decide for yourself whether you want to take the test or not."

Therefore, Jia Lan wrote a letter back to Beijing to discuss with Li Wan. In the end, Li Wan spoke, saying that now their women have no worries about food and clothing, and supported Jia Lan to wait for another subject.

The clansmen in the back street all looked at Li Wan, and Li Wan's decision made them finally make up their minds.

Jia Lian received a reply from the people in Jingdu, and soon arranged Jia Lan and the three of them to be scribes under Jia Yun.He said: "You stay here for three months, learn to be a clerical document, and then follow Mr. Xiong to do taxation experience and learn economics. After a year, go to the governor's office to help me, are you willing?"

The three of them agreed in unison: "All listen to Second Uncle."

Baoyu spent three days in Haijiang, bought a carful of gifts, and returned to Beijing impatiently. He was going to practice writing with Uncle Lin. Next spring, he must hit it off.

As soon as Baoyu left, Jia Lian began to collect taxes for the first time after the war.

Jia Lian had already estimated the difficulty of tax collection, but his vision was refreshed by the persistent tax evasion ability of Fujian and Zhejiang gentry.

Because the imperial court expressly stipulated that the sale of land in Fujian and Zhejiang is strictly prohibited in Tebi within one year. These people have a new way of getting along. They don't buy and sell, but give it to relatives and friends.

It was also said that these families really took advantage of loopholes, and their so-called relatives and friends were those scholars and tenants who did not have land.

There are also some rogues who even lure the old people who have lost their children to hang the land on the widows and lonely people in the nursing home.

They thought Jia Lian had been stumped.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian immediately issued a governor's order that anyone who owns land is not allowed to stay in the nursing home to enjoy government benefits.In this wave of investigations, those old people quit immediately, and the rich people gave them only a dozen taels of silver, how many years can they support them?

These people came out to report one by one, exposing the ugly faces of these gentry to the sun.

Jia Lian deprived these tax-evading gentry of their fame and titles. In this way, not only could they not evade taxes, but the tax-free land would also be taxed.

Really stealing chicken without losing rice.

Then, Jia Lian issued a governor's order for the poor and employed farmers and tenants, and the government will deprive those who have land under their names with an average of more than five acres.

The reason is very simple. The government rents government land at a low level to tenant farmers and hired farmers in order to solve the food and clothing of the common people. Now that these people have land under their names, they are no longer eligible to enjoy government subsidies.

Not only that, but the land under the names of these people has to be charged [-]% of the rent in accordance with the regulations.

As a result, a large number of tenants and farm laborers exploded again.

They promised to hide the land for the rich, but they received [-]% of the rent, but now they have to pay [-]%, which is a [-]% loss.

Furthermore, they also lost the qualification to rent official land, and thus lost their source of income. No one is stupid, and they can no longer ruin their jobs because of others.

As a result, the names of a large number of hiding persons were once again identified.

The last wave is those scholars at the bottom, that is, scholars.Scholars can own fifty acres of tax-free land, and some greedy people take advantage of this loophole.Originally, the government tax was [-] out of [-] for the land harvest, because there are two seasons of flood and drought, but in fact it is only [-] out of [-].The charge for one mu of rice is only three liters, five in one, and five tablespoons, which is quite low.

Those rich and unkind gentry also want to avoid taxes.

After Jia Lian learned about the situation, he first ordered the states and counties to post notices, requiring these people to declare themselves, and those who declared by themselves should not be blamed.

If you don't declare yourself, but are reported by others, you will be dismissed as a scholar and will never be hired.

Jia Lian's trick is not poisonous, which scholar is willing to ruin his future by dozens of taels of silver?

Many people voluntarily withdrew from the land, but Jia Lian really let the past go.There are also those lucky ones who thought that they did it without anyone noticing, and as a result, they lost both money and money, and Qingyun Road was cut off from then on.

After this wave of blows, 60.00% of the land in the sea area has been taxed, and the rest are those official families who hold important positions and high officials in various places.

These people accounted for a very small number of people in the sea area, but they occupied [-] to [-]% of the land.

These masters, when the officers and soldiers of the imperial court tightened their trousers to fight, they put oil on the soles of their feet and ran into the capital to eat delicious food and spicy food, and they refused to contribute their efforts or money.Now that it is too peaceful, they come back to collect rent and evade taxes. They are simply a bunch of rats.

Jia Lian hated these selfish things.Decided not to tolerate these thieves anymore.

These people think that they have something to rely on, but they don't hide the land. They just push it away, saying that this is the land of a certain person, and we are just trustees. If you want to collect taxes, you should go to Beijing to find a certain servant to collect it.

Jia Lian sneered, thinking that a Beijing official could frighten him.Jia Lian had soldiers in his hands, so the handling was simple, rough and effective. For these officials and family members, Jia Lian personally led troops to the door.

Jia Lian ate persimmons to pick up hard stubble, and he was the first to arrest the father of Chen Tinghua, the chief minister of Jiangsu Province.

With this arrest, there was an endless stream of people coming to the door to plead for mercy.

Jia Lian answered the tickets one by one.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian received a letter from the chief envoy Chen Tinghua's personal guards. Chen Tinghua's tone was not soft, because Jia Lian's hometown was in Jiangsu, and the chief envoy's tone was very polite and meant to communicate frequently.

Jia Lian sneered a few times, and wrote a reply letter to Chen Tinghua. At the beginning of the letter, he wrote three names, Ping'anzhou, Yushichang, and King Zhongshun.Finally, Jia Lian twitched a piece of paper again, erasing King Zhongshun.

In the middle of the night that day, Chen Tinghua rushed from Jinling to Jia Lian's governor's office. This guy, dressed as a post station servant, entered the governor's office under the pretext of delivering an urgent report at five hundred miles from the capital.

Chen Tinghua asked to report to the mansion in person, Jia Lian thought that this person was strange and a detective with spiritual sense, so he immediately laughed.He dismissed his entourage, Shi Shiran walked out, looked at Chen Tinghua and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Chen coming here in the starry night?"

Chen Tinghua stared at the young and handsome Jia Lian, feeling hatred, fear and jealousy. He wished he could tear Jia Lian to pieces, but he had to kneel down to Jia Lian: "I beg Master Jia to be reborn!"
