Chapter 698 Happy Events Coming (10)

However, in the matter of donating money, he encountered a lot of troubles. Fortunately, he has a rich father-in-law, and he asked him to go and persuade the various squires. For Ru Jian's sake, all the squires obediently funded the construction private school.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office. The first fire is to rectify the county government, the second fire is to set up private schools, and the third fire is to reduce taxes and increase crop production.

This third fire has become a big one. First and second, it may be just a small matter, but regarding taxes, it is related to the country. Does he, a small parent official, dare to resist the court?
The officials who heard about this incident felt that the new county magistrate might not know the above-mentioned policies, so they rushed to the county government to persuade him.Qin Yun said: "Master Yuan, this matter is not trivial, it is not a matter for our parents to decide, you must think twice!"

On this matter, Yuan Liang had to think twice and twice. He knew that every year the higher-ups would collect taxes for the officials under their jurisdiction, but the yield of the tenant farmers was low every year, the taxes increased every year, and the government taxes were not uniform every year. , Repeatedly, this is the so-called temporary cure, not the root cause!

Yuan Liang took a deep breath and said, "I understand what you said in my heart, but I think you also understand in your heart. Now that the grain production is low, we have raised taxes every year. How can those ordinary people live? I know what I will do. This incident is shocking, but as parents, shouldn’t we think more about the common people?”

Qin Yun looked embarrassed, and said: "Master Yuan, although what you said is true, we can't disobey the orders above!?"

Yuanliang's eyes tightened, and he said firmly, "I'll negotiate this matter!"
-
In the following period of time, Yuan Liang was under tremendous pressure to deal with the magistrate, and issued a military order in front of the magistrate. Although the tax can be reduced or exempted, the targets issued by the above must be completed.The magistrate thought he was an idiot, so he agreed to this military order.

As in the past, the new officials took office because they made the people suffer and enriched the gentry. The new officials either increased taxes or asked the people to donate money to repair temples and city walls. Taxation, this move only made the people applaud!

Therefore, during this period of time, the streets and alleys were discussing. Some people thought that the new county magistrate was a fake trick to fool the ignorant people;
-
May and June every year is the rainy season in Meiyu Village. It has been raining heavily for several days, and the low, dilapidated thatched houses in the village collapsed. Fortunately, there was no one in the houses at that time, and there were no casualties.

The day Wen Zizhou came back was a rare sunny day.After traveling for more than ten days, he finally returned to Meiyu Village.

The villagers of Meiyu Village knew the news of Mr. Wen's return to the village, and rushed out to greet him. You must know that Meiyu Village rarely has an official in a hundred years.

As soon as Wen Zizhou's carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, it was surrounded by villagers who came to greet him.

Among the crowd, an uncle with cheeks said: "Village chief, you are really lucky. My son won the prize of Tanhua and became an official. People are so envious!"

Village head Wen waved his hand, with a proud smile on his face, and said, "Hey, everything is the result of his own hard work!" His son made him extremely proud.
