It just rained in Shandong last night, and the counties in Yanzhou were unable to escape.

The muddy all over the land has added some hardship to the grassroots officials who have traveled to the fields.

As soon as the rain stopped this morning, a group of soap-clothed officials in various farmlands in Sishui County once again appeared, and measured and calculated the fields in front of them.

There are many people and are in full swing.

Anyone who is a little more informed knows that this is Chen Li’s minion, that is, the accountants who were assigned by the Ministry of Revenue and were seconded by the Imperial Heaven Supervision Institute, and the internship of Qiushi College are reviewing Tianmu.

However, the work environment is often not very good for matters with great resistance.

The "fairness, integrity and talent, and those who are recommended by everyone" elected by each county were nominally to assist the servants of Duda, but under this selection criteria, you don't need to guess what background you choose.

Not to mention assisting, they all make trouble everywhere, deliberately picking tricks, and disturbing Dutian.

At the same time, there were strong men from somewhere, staring at the faces of the accountants with vicious eyes, their lips moved, and they gritted their teeth from time to time to make fierce expressions, exerting psychological pressure.

But if you drive away, you will roll around and shout that the government is guilty. I am afraid that someone will take advantage of you and secretly move the boundary marker.

There were even unknown tenants who were called over and gathered in the outer hustle and bustle.

Whenever the government wants to attack hard, the Kong family sacrifices the officials, and the local gentry hurriedly came forward to make peace, treat the people preferentially and do not intensify the conflicts.

The head of the department was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Sometimes he came forward to appease the tenants, and sometimes he coordinated the officers to warn the idle people.

You must not forget to work seriously. You can walk around the ridges of the fields, listen to the accountants report the land acre data, and then check them one by one with the fish scale album redrawn by Shandong locals.

Chen Li shook her head non-stop as she looked at the chaotic and noisy scene in front of her.

The central imperial envoy arrived, and even with this appearance, it was no wonder that the local officials were all feeling the difficulty of experiencing the fields.

It was customized in the seventh year of Wanli, and the main supervisor of the field inspection office was supervised and reviewed. Only sampling inspections were performed when you went to the local area.

The ones being supervised and assessed are naturally the county governments of each province and the military preparation yamen.

Therefore, Shandong soldiers were preparing for Song Yingchang, as well as Yanzhou Prefecture, Sishui Prefecture and other officials, are now accompanying Chen Li, introducing the local situation from time to time.

The soap boots on Shenli's soap boots were covered with mud every few steps, so he had to stretch out the soap boots from time to time and use the edge of the field to scrape off the mud attached to it.

The cauliflower snake who was resting accidentally disturbed, was about to express its dissatisfaction, but was crossed on the ridge of the field and could not move.

Chen Li stood still with his hands behind his back, raised his eyes and looked at one of the small fields: "The tax base of the county government in front of him was 346 acres in the past, and after the clearance of the meter, there were 451 acres in the fish scale book."

"It is naturally a hundred acres to make a clear contribution, but..."

"My colleagues, I am now in this situation, but just looking around, I am afraid there will be more than a thousand acres."

He looked back at the local officials: "What is this?"

Song Yingchang frowned when he heard this.

As the deputy envoy of the inspector, the military prefecture was already considered a senior official. Even if he did his best to go deep into the grassroots level in the matter of land management, he had no time to go deep into the grassroots level. When asked at this moment, he could only look at the prefectures and counties and other officials.

Li Shixin, the magistrate of Sishui, was about to shrink back, but she felt that she was suddenly pushed around her waist and staggered out of the line.

Looking back, Zhou Youguang, the governor of Yanzhou, looked down at the ridge of the field.

Li Shixin was secretly annoyed.

Feeling the Shen Li, Song Yingchang and others' eyes fell on him, so he had to bite the bullet and speak: "Reply to Governor Shen's question, this is the difference between a large acre and a small acre."

"The land taxation is calculated based on a mu, but for various historical reasons, if there is land worth more than 80% of one mu, if there is land worth more than 2 mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu, if there is one mu..."

He looked at Chen Li carefully: "So, the acre recorded may not be the actual acre. What Governor Chen sees is not very accurate. The plan in the fish scale book is the comprehensive plan for the tax."

This is not the reason why Li Shixin was born, but it does have his historical origins.

Since the founding of the country, there have been few people and many lands, and a round of household registration and redistribution of unbordered lands.

In order to reclaim wasteland, policy preferential treatment is naturally indispensable. Those who are active and enthusiastic will count as one acre. If they fall behind, there will be only one real acre. "The first local people occupy a very wide area of ​​hectares, and the next time the people arrive, the hectares are very narrow. Therefore, it is called a small acre, a wide acre."

The large acres in the hands of the small people gradually became standardized, while the large acres in the hands of the local snake gradually became a "historical origin".

There is also a wonder that seems to be a thousand acres going up, and only four hundred acres are registered.

The vast amount of historical documents have always been a good way to scammer Shangguan, but Chen Li did his homework and was not fooled.

He shook his head: "During the Jiajing period, Grand Secretary Gui E reported this matter, saying that in Shanxi and Shandong, there were 480 steps to 1,200 steps to one acre, and 240 steps to a small acre."

"Local officials, if they go up to make reports, they use the earth to throw themselves into the yellow books, and if they go down to the expedition, they use the small land to get equal."

Report the report according to the number of large acres. The tax is even more discounted, but it is different when collecting taxes. It must be collected according to small acres. If there are large households who are not easy to collect taxes, they will be equal to the common people.

As for where the difference went?

Don't ask.

Chen Li turned his head and looked at the obviously fooled Bing Beidao Song Yingchang, and explained briefly: "At that time, Gui E was shocked when she learned about it, and she even went to Ziyang County, Yanzhou Prefecture to see it."

"Ziyang County had 245,520 acres of official land, but because the rich family and the clerk colluded with the clerks, during the Jiajing period, only 190,000 acres of land were left."

"These 190,000 mu are also full of water, including large households with large acres, 720 steps per acres, small people with small acres, and 240 steps per acres."

"So, Gui E asked the world's will to make the world's tenets, and each province will use 240 steps as a mu, regardless of the order, and take the same course."

"Song Bing is guessing, after the Qingzhang County, how many fields will be obtained in the end?"

Song Yingchang looked at Chen Li talking freely, and he picked up all kinds of old things at will, and blurted out the details, and a hint of admiration rose in his heart.

Looking at the sweaty prefecture and county officials, I still don’t know what’s going on.

He followed Chen Li's words and asked respectfully: "The lower officials' education is shallow, and I wonder how many acres of land the county has?"

Chen Li didn't keep it a secret, and spit out a number: "From 190,000 mu, it has skyrocketed to 668,766 mu!"

Song Yingchang was shocked when he heard this.

Even if I had expected it, I never expected that the tax base difference between large and small land acres was more than three times!

If the report is based on large acres and the tax is based on small acres, the center can only be divided into 30%!

Chen Li turned to the pale-faced magistrate Li Shixin and said coldly: "Mr. Li, do you dare to use the old rules that were abolished during the Jiajing period to swear to his official position?"

This is already a crime.

The governor asked in person, and Li Shixin was in a panic.

Seeing that Li Shixin could not bear it anymore, Yanzhou magistrate Zhou Youguang finally came forward.

The latter took a step forward and bowed to mercy.

When Chen Li looked at him, Zhou Youguang smiled bitterly: "The reason that Governor Chen said is this reason, but in the new Jiajing policy, Fang Zhizhongdao was rebelled... Unfortunately, it was destroyed. Local officials lost their support for major policies, so they naturally could not support it."

"When the officials arrived at the office, the old man had been resurrected for decades."

Zhou Youguang's attitude was extremely low, and the reason was reasonable.

Chen Li shook her head: "It would be fine if it was just this."

"There were many reviews in Jinxiang County before, and the number of reviews was very different, and the number of supplies was widely accepted. The prefect Zhou said that it was difficult; the land review of Ningyang County was twice as high as the number of reviews, and the land reviewed by the countless people was hung and sent to countless people. The prefect Zhou also had a reason. When we arrived in Sishui today, we were very informed and tried to vacate our officials for the matter of big and small acres."

Speaking of this, Chen Li suddenly turned a furious look and shouted: "Yanzhou Prefecture has gathered and reviewed the three counties! You have accomplished nothing!"

The sound was like a bell, and it suddenly rang, which made Zhou Youguang's body tremble.

"The lower officials are incompetent! The lower officials are incompetent!"

Zhou Youguang was shocked and begged for mercy on the spot on the ridge of the field.

Chen Li looked at Zhou Youguang coldly: "You are not incompetent, you are so capable, you are good at dancing, and no one wants to offend him."

"I'm afraid that things will turn out like this, so why are you still greedy for official positions?"

"Any colleague who wants to be a little shameless will retire early."

Zhou Youguang begs repeatedly: "The Chenbutang misunderstood the official position. There are so many things at the grassroots level, and they are in chaos. I dare not rush around for a moment!"

Seeing that Chen Li was indifferent, he simply gritted his teeth and told him: "Chenbu Hall! Yanzhou counties involve many."

"The land is not a person, but is mostly a village community. It is shared by the entire clan. After taking over, hanging, and sending the names of the people, such as charity, temple property, official land, and school land, almost all the wealthy families, the right people, officials and gentry, and the royal palaces are held alternately."

"For example, the day before yesterday, the tens of millions of fertile land was passed by, which was also the sacrifice field of aristocratic families in the world, the clan property of super-class officials, and the clan property of clan relatives!"

"Just like the things in front of you, they are all the mounts of the heavenly people. Even Sun Xingzhe, what can you do?"

The magistrate Li Shixin was relieved and sighed repeatedly when she listened.

Bing Beidao Song Yingchang's face turned pale, and he looked angry, "If you can't afford to offend them, do you dare to fool me?"

Just then, the chief official came hurriedly with a fish scale book under his armpit.

Let the left and right make a way for it.

The chief official arrived near Shen Li, and after calming his breath slightly, he spoke very quickly to report the revenge review results: "Minist Hall, Sishui County has completed the re-examination."

"The total area of ​​fish scale book in Sishui County is more than 270,000 mu. The area of ​​fish scale book is randomly checked for 27,000 mu, and the actual core is 37,718 mu!"

After hearing this, the magistrate Li Shixin wiped his forehead and sweated heavily, yelling for luck.

The error is just right and less than 40%!

Although he has reached the level of not being a job, the circumstances are average, and at most he only gives warnings and a salary penalty - this is a clear order issued by the field inspection office, and rewards and punishments are divided into pieces.

Of course, if he passed the prefect, the prefect would be in trouble. The error of the three counties from 39% to 72% is not qualified, and I am afraid that the official position will be difficult to guarantee.
To be continued...
