Chapter 281 Donation Bureau
What's more, although Qiao Tieying has been dead for many years, the Qiao family still has people there. Although the Qiao family has not been a Jinshi Juerus in recent years, there are more or less scholars with a little fame. What's more, the Qiao family is a Wei family, and the other of their family is the hereditary commander of the Dengzhou Wei.
That's right, the Qiao family is a Wei family, and like Zhang Juzheng, they both came from a Wei family. The officers of the Wei office in the Ming Dynasty liked to bet on both sides, allowing one son to inherit his position, and the other son to study hard and gain fame. If there is a third son or a fourth son, he will probably be allowed to do his best in agriculture and business.
The Qiao family is such a powerful family in the harem. Now the entire family can be a very awesome two-headed snake. The Qiao family in Huangxian has spent a lot of fame and fortune, and even has a deputy Jinshi like Qiao Tieying. Because of his fame, he is very successful in agriculture, forestry, and commercial operations.
The other Qiao family is the hereditary commander of the Dengzhou Guard. Although he does not have many Japanese troops, he can pull out hundreds of military officers in the garrison when encountering major events to help Qiao County in Huangxian settle everything. Both sides support and cover each other. He is simply an invincible existence in Dengzhou.
In the Qiao family's impression, the royal grain tax of this thousand six hundred acres of land should be borne by Longkou and Huangshan Pavilion, and it has nothing to do with their Qiao family. Qiao Tiexue, the contemporary head of the Qiao family, sent him unceremoniously: "Tell those with the surname Liu, you must figure out how much you have, and don't wait until things get worse and you won't end."
The reason why the Qiao family has always had the upper hand is that they have the confidence to make things bigger. They may not be able to gain the upper hand when making small fuss at Huang County level, but the matter is in Dengzhou Prefecture or the province, and the prefecture and province only seek harmony, but it is finally left alone.
Although the Qiao family is very confident, Liu Peng is even more confident. When the Qiao family handed over, he was discussing this year's autumn grain with Yang Guangwen and the others: "Brother Yang, I'm afraid you will have to work hard for this year's autumn grain!"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
The "Donation Bureau" can tell what it is for at a glance. In fact, the Donation Bureau is responsible for not only various miscellaneous donations, but also various royal grain donations that the province, prefecture and county are responsible for, but also undertaken by the Donation Bureau.
In other words, the Donation Bureau is the State Administration of Taxation with a population of 20,000 people from Longkou and Huangshan Pavilion. Gu Mengyu couldn't help but add: "I originally wanted to preside over the Donation Bureau, but I was a woman's house after all, and I couldn't do some things, so Brother Yang had to do it."
It’s not that Gu Mengyu is tender. When he was in charge of housework at the Gu family, he had done a lot of things to pay for rent and debts with a strong heart, and even did the work of the pilaf house. However, she was a woman after all, and it was really inconvenient to preside over the donation bureau.
Moreover, the Donation Bureau is an agency that collects cash in and will offend people if you accidentally offend someone. The reason why Yang Guangwen is willing to take this mission that must offend many people is because he can already feel that he is a bit marginalized in Longkou.
In the small group of Liu Peng, Yang Guangwen can almost be called the second person. He was an official who had officially entered the world but took the initiative to surrender. Whether it was Liu Peng, Jiang Haotian, Shen Bin, and other important members of the small group of Liu Peng, they were all polite to him and responded to everything. When encountering major events, they invited Yang Guangwen to come and make ideas together.
However, although Yang Guangwen entered the core of power of this small group, he had to spend most of his time on the three-point land of Huangshan Pavilion. He can be said to be the first member of Liu Peng, the small group. On the ground of Huangshan Pavilion, no one dared to publicly offend Yang Yicheng.
But since Yang Guangwen has become a senior official, it also means that he has not been in Longkou for much time. At first, Yang Guangwen was young and frivolous and conceited, but later he discovered that Longkou has developed thousands of miles a day. I don’t know how many up-and-coming celebrities want to surpass him, the old man. Although Liu Peng can trust him, Yang Guangwen feels more and more that he is a little marginalized. The latest and fastest update
No one else will say that Zhu Zihong was originally just an ordinary small earth stick in the countryside. Because he climbed Liu Peng's thigh, he has now become a famous salt merchant in Dengzhou. Not to mention a large salt farm, but also a one-stop production, sales and transportation. The salt she posted is recognized as snow-white and has better quality than Liaodong's big salt. Now others say that Zhu Zihao can earn more than 10,000 taels of silver a year.
The income of the entire Huangshan Pavilion may not be 10,000 taels in total. It is precisely because of these rising newcomers that Yang Guangwen has a very strong sense of crisis and directly took over the Donation Bureau, which is the most likely to offend people.
He took down the Donation Bureau. This action fully proved that Liu Peng trusted him very much and handed over all his money bags to Yang Guangwen. Many people were saying his words and even looking at his position. Now they have become silent. Now Yang Guangwen decided to use the Qiao family to take action: "Mr. Liu, the deputy juren of their Qiao family has already gone to the Western Paradise. The remaining cats and dogs are not a problem. Mr. Liu, I think you can give them some colors."
Although the Qiao family could mobilize hundreds of people to participate in the armed battle, and even borrow hundreds of soldiers from Dengzhou Guards, in Yang Guangwen's eyes, all this was not a problem. Longkou may have many shortcomings and weaknesses, but force is by no means Longkou's weaknesses.
For the autumn grain this time, Liu Peng asked the entire patrol team to cooperate fully, but Liu Peng said casually: "If you want to fight with literature, not martial arts. The Qiao family yelled like this, it means that they were guilty. We can take down the Qiao family without a soldier."
Yang Guangwen didn't think Liu Peng was talking big. He immediately asked, "Mr. Liu, since you have to deal with the Qiao family, there must be no problem. I just want to ask you what the donation is this year?"
Although he talked with Liu Magistrate to discuss the charter for this year's autumn grain, it was only an external charter. As for how much autumn grain tax is imposed on the internal level, Liu Peng still has to make an idea. Liu Peng immediately said: "I will just talk about my ideas casually, and you can help me add it!"
Liu Peng continued to say calmly: "This year, Brother Yang and I have promised the same county that we will remain intact on the basis of last year and cannot be a penny."
Although it is said that even a penny cannot be reduced, the efficiency of Liu Peng's own collection is completely different from that of the county. Yang Guangwen estimates that his collection can reduce the loss by at least half.
But Liu Peng continued: "But our Longkou and Huangshan Pavilion both maintain a team to ensure safety. We cannot let our brothers stay hungry and defend their country, so I think we can add some donations appropriately!"
Although Liu Peng was very kind, Yang Guangwen knew that the opera was just here. He was in charge of the donation bureau. Of course, he was concerned about the title: "Mr. Liu, how many kinds of donations should be added? How much does each kind of tax be charged?"
The state's regular tax is only at least five liters per acre, and the silver is only three cents. However, the various donations added to the provincial prefectures and counties are much more than the state's three cents, and there are many kinds of varied items. Sometimes even the county's households and houses are in the forefront, they cannot figure out the name of this.
But Liu Peng said it very briefly: "We are forced to collect some taxes to support ourselves. This is naturally convenient for others and for ourselves. The most important thing is patrol donations, which is the expense of patrol protection!"
Patrol donations, as the name suggests, were collected to support the patrol team. Yang Guangwen immediately agreed: "There are almost 200 patrol teams on the water and land in total, so you can't always ask Mr. Liu to pay for it personally, and there is not even a name for money."
"I have always asked Mr. Liu to pay for it personally." This sentence may be a bit exaggerated, but it also expresses the limitations of the source of the patrol team's funding.
Now the patrol team's funds are all paid out from Gu Mengyu's account, and the operation of funds on Gu Mengyu's side is often very out of sync with funding expenditure. In this case, they often die of being full when they are full and starved to death when they are hungry.
Moreover, the scale of the patrol team is getting bigger and bigger. Now there are almost 200 full-time patrol team members alone. This is not a large number of amateur part-time personnel. In addition, there are a large number of military horses and soldiers. Although it will not collapse Gu Mengyu's capital chain, it is enough to make Gu Mengyu and Longkou under amazing financial pressure.
Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the team, such financial pressure will only increase. Before being overwhelmed by the patrol team's expenditure, Liu Peng must find a way for the patrol team's expenditure. Liu Peng said: "The amount of this patrol donation will not be too small, but everyone should understand that this money is taken from the civilians for the people. Only with the patrol team can one keep the safety of the country."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingyue has added: "If a village or a wealthy person cherishes money and refuses to pay this patrol donation, then our patrol team will not make any guarantees about the safety of their village and individuals."
Gu Mengyu agreed with this opinion: "That's right, use it for the people and use it for the people. As long as we pay enough patrol donations, we can ensure safety in the area. They refuse to pay patrol donations, and we can only let it go."
Yang Guangwen is already quite confident in expropriating patrol donations. Now it is not peaceful on Dengzhou Road. Even Liu Peng and Liu Da Jiao were attacked by large thieves with more than 20 people. Yao Changgong and Eunuch Tian and more than 60 people were besieged by hundreds of thieves on Laizhou Road. In this case, who dares not to pay this patrol donation?
I am afraid that as long as the news of a village not paying for patrol donations is spread, a large number of bandits will sweep over and loot the entire village. Therefore, Yang Guangwen immediately said: "Can patrol donations be collected? How much does it cost?"
