Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 168 New Era
The new official system adopted by Han Chufan is to directly manage the people at the bottom.

Prevent the emergence of a new powerful class of gentry and oppress the common people at the bottom.

Moreover, in terms of tax collection, all officials, wealthy businessmen, large landowners, and scholars in the northwest military towns must pay taxes together with the farmers at the bottom.

In this way, the current situation in Daxia can be avoided. All taxes in the entire dynasty are borne by poor farmers, but the gentry and dignitaries do not have to pay a penny of tax.

Han Chufan is creating a new world.

Qingxiangwei's original Yongzhen Township.

Defense officer Liu Yong was pacing back and forth in his room.

"Sir, things have really changed now. Marquis Ping'an has established some administrative bureau, judicial bureau and financial bureau to directly manage Yongzhen Township, bypassing us.

Nowadays, all matters of all sizes in Yongzhen Township have to go through their administrative bureau, and our fields are said to have to pay taxes.

This is too much. Your Excellency, you are one of the thousands of households in the imperial court. Now you have been directly excluded and you still have to pay taxes. When have we, the officials of Daxia, paid taxes? "

The officers from hundreds of households under Liu Yong said angrily.

Liu Yong was also in a very irritable mood, but sighed helplessly.

"So what if we are ignored? Didn't you see that there is a new army stationed in Yongxiang Town?
If we rebel, it's not just as simple as paying taxes.

The god of Qingxiangwei is Lord Pingbeihou. "

Han Chufan held strong troops and implemented reforms, and no one in the Qingxiang Guards dared to resist.

They, the established forces, can only passively accept it.

"Sir, your relationship with Ping Beihou was pretty good back then. Can you please go and beg for mercy? If we have to pay taxes on our real estate, it will be a big expense every year."

Making them, bureaucrats who have never paid taxes, pay taxes is literally killing them.

Liu Yong shook his head.

"Marquis Pingbei has already said hello. Everyone in the entire Northwest Military Town must pay taxes. If someone fails to pay taxes, they will be punished by the new laws of the Northwest Military Town.

Taking the lead in making trouble now is seeking death.I have said all I have said, so you can take care of yourself and leave. "

Liu Yong served tea to see off the guests.

He has seen the reality clearly. In the current Northwest Army Zhenqingxiang Guards, no one can stop Han Chufan's will.

For that little money, it would be extremely stupid to lose an official or even his life. Obviously Liu Yong is still a smart man.

Half a month later, in Shifang Township, Qingxiangwei.

"Why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am?" Shifang Township Defense Officer Qianhu Tan Duanyi yelled.

A New Army team of four or five people broke into his big house and tied him up.

"Tan Duanyi, the defense officer of Shifang Township, bullied the people, occupied their fields, wives and daughters, and evaded taxes of more than 200 taels.

The adults from the Shifang Township Government Affairs Bureau and Finance Bureau have decided to arrest you. "said the leading new army.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged." Tan Duanyi shouted loudly.

"Whether you are wronged or not is not up to me. The law enforcement team of our Administrative Bureau is only responsible for carrying out arrest tasks. If you have any grievances, please tell the adults of the Justice Bureau.

The lord of the Justice Bureau will naturally deal with it impartially. Mr. Tan should be honest now, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood. "The captain of the law enforcement team said coldly.

"You have no right to arrest me. I am Qianhu of the imperial court. I want to see Mr. Han."

"You also want to see Lord Pingbeihou, take him away."

Shifang Township defense officer Tan Duanyi was taken away.

After the establishment of the Shifang Township Justice Bureau, many people took the attitude of giving it a try and sued Tan Duanyi, the defense officer of Shifang Township, listing various crimes that Tan Duanyi committed while serving as the defense officer of Shifang Township.

The Shifang Township Justice Bureau issued an arrest warrant for Tan Duanyi.

In addition, the Shifang Township Taxation Bureau also discovered that Tan Duanyi had been evading taxes on hundreds of acres of farmland under his name, and issued an arrest order against him.The Shifang Township Administrative Bureau sent a law enforcement team to arrest Tan Duanyi.

Similar cases are also taking place in other rural towns and cities.

More than a dozen people were arrested for occupying people's fertile land, wives and daughters and evading taxes.

Countless local gentry and powerful merchants and landlords were arrested.

The entire Qingxiang Guard was in an uproar.

Corrupt officials and powerful gentry trembled.

Businessmen and small landowners also began to pay taxes obediently.

Just kidding, the big guys have been caught, how dare they, the pony boys, be dishonest.

Liu Yong listened to the reports from the people below and felt lucky for his decision.

He did not interfere with the work of the Yongzhen Township Administrative Bureau, Justice Bureau and Taxation Bureau from the beginning. He also took the initiative to pay taxes and successfully avoided this disaster.

"A new era is coming." Liu Yong sighed.

Han Chufan was actually quite okay with old people like them. As long as they behaved themselves, he gave them bureau-level treatment.

The annual salary of 100 taels of silver is enough for them to enjoy their old age.

Besides, among the Qianhu defense officers like Liu Yong, none of them has their own private property, which is enough to make them rich for a lifetime.

Han Chufan also gave the hundred households in the village a section-level treatment of 50 taels of silver per year.

If they didn't know how to act recklessly and were arrested, it would be no wonder that Han Chufan was there.

The era of these old bureaucrats has passed, and the Northwest Army Zhenqingxiangwei has ushered in a new era.

The establishment of the Judicial Bureau has received rave reviews from the common people. In the past, officials protected each other, and no one cared about people like them living at the bottom.

Now that there is a Justice Bureau, it will help them redress their grievances.

The whole society has a completely new look, and the northwest military town presents a prosperous scene.

Outside Wanren City in Northern Xinjiang.

"Yue'er, bring that pile of grass." Zhou Daniu shouted.

Zhou Daniu returned home after being rescued by Han Chufan last time.

Fortunately, his village was not looted by Tartars and barbarians, and his wife was waiting for him at home.

After seeing his mother-in-law and young son, Zhou Daniu was ecstatic and his family was living a stable life again.

But the fields at home have been abandoned for a long time, and the family is living a tight life.

Later I heard that Pingbei Hou was recruiting people in northern Xinjiang to reclaim wasteland and develop animal husbandry, and in the early stage he was also responsible for food.

I heard that many people are living a good life there, much better than in the customs.

Zhou Daniu was moved. He believed that Han Chufan would not lie to them.

Zhou Daniu took his whole family to the vicinity of Wanren City, which he was familiar with.

He was previously robbed to this grassland as a slave. He was beaten, scolded and tortured by the barbarians every day, living like a zombie.

If it weren't for his daughter Zhou Yue'er, as well as his mother-in-law and son in Guan, who were his spiritual sustenance, Zhou Daniu probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

And now he comes here for a better life.

He wanted his mother-in-law, his daughter and his son to have a better life and no longer have to live in hunger.
