At that time, industry and commerce were underdeveloped, and there were few bribers. If you wanted to make a fortune as an official, you had to rely on corruption.

The so-called "Three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflake silver", where does this snowflake silver come from? Every year, grain taxes and various apportionments are levied. After deducting the money paid to the county secretary, for canal and local expenditure, most of the money saved will be used for food. Falling into the pockets of individuals is the main source of this snowflake silver.

Officials can't wait to increase their miscellaneous taxes and assessments. How many honest people are willing to absorb the above increase internally? Isn't this a problem for their own pockets?

Lin Fu smiled coldly and said to Liu Shidu: "I will not make things difficult for Master Liu. When Master Liu was discussing with the four counties, he told them not to cause civil unrest. When I led the troops to suppress it, everyone would have a good face. No light!"

"Of course, Jiangdong will never be in chaos again!" Liu Shidu said.

Liu Tingzhou is quite upright, and Liu Shidu is soft-tempered, but he is not someone who will cause big troubles. Lin Fu can protect Huaian and eleven counties, but what about the other eight prefectures in Jiangdong County? There are also the newly annexed northern Zhejiang and Henan provinces.

Qifu, what kind of additional conquest method? These are beyond Lin Fu's control.

It's Dongyang Mansion. Is Lin Ting Li Zhen willing to take an extra hundreds of thousands taels of silver from the treasury and county warehouse to pay to the county magistrate every year instead of spreading it to the farmers?

Lin Fu couldn't help but become frustrated. In fact, he had no influence on Dongyang Mansion's additional conquests. Apart from being depressed, Lin Fu also had the thought of giving up on himself: Let's mess around. The world is already in chaos, so let's do it completely.

After the mess is done, it would be easier to leave it to Huaidong to clean up the mess.
