At the end of March, Wu Zongkun returned home again.

However, Wu Zongkun's return this time caused an uproar, and the patriarch Wu Shunfu was prepared to use family methods.

Wu Zongkun did not listen to Wu Zonglin's dissuasion, and could not resist the temptation of the county government office clerks and foremen, so he decided to take on the task of urging the land tax collection in Xinlongli. This made Wu Shunfu, the head of the Wu family and grain collection officer, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

.

On the day Wu Zongkun returned home, Li Zheng, who had received the news from the county government, came to the house and complained a lot. As an elder, he begged Wu Zongkun to take into account the suffering of the people in Xinlongli and slow down the land tax.

collection.

As this was not enough, Li Zheng came up with some idea. The elders who moved to Xinlong Township also warned Wu Zongkun that when collecting land taxes, he should take into account his fellow villagers.

Xinlongli is just an area that belongs to Xinlong Township. The elders of Xinlong Township and Li Zheng from Xinlongli all came to the Wu family to explain the situation. This made Wu Shunfu itchy with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

In Xinlong, the situation of the Wu family is slightly stronger. The elders and Li Zheng obviously want to make the Wu family bleed.

As a grain collector, Wu Shunfu is only responsible for the Wu family's more than 1,000 acres of cultivated land, of which more than 200 acres are exempt from taxes. Of course, the total amount of taxes will not change, even if the Wu family has farmers.

Unable to pay the tax for the time being, Wu Shunfu could think of a way to pay the tax first and then call for payment later. Since he is a farmer of the Wu family, he does not have to worry about not receiving the land tax.

As for the taxation of the entire Xinlongli, Li Zheng is naturally responsible for it. The inability of other grain collectors to collect all the taxes is a headache for Lizheng and the grain collectors and has nothing to do with Wu Shunfu and the Wu family.

Now, the ignorant Wu Zongkun has actually taken on the task of urging students to teach Xinlongli Tianfu.

This kind of reminder is not just as simple as coming down to collect taxes. It is equivalent to issuing a military order to the county government and the magistrate. It is necessary to collect all the land taxes. If not, not only will you encounter a reprimand from the magistrate, but also

There is also the possibility of losing the job of warden warden.

There are more than 2,000 to 400 acres of cultivated land in Xinlong. The total land tax is about 70 taels. In the spring, 40% of the land tax needs to be paid, which totals about 30 taels of silver. Among them, the Wu family occupies more than 1,000 acres. In the spring, the land tax is about 30 taels.

The tax paid was nearly fourteen taels of silver, and the remaining ten taels of silver were what other farmers had to pay.

Perhaps Wu Zongkun thought that the amount of money was small and not that big of a deal, so he took it all in one fell swoop.

Of course, Wu Zongkun was not very clear. He was responsible for collecting land taxes throughout the year. When collecting land taxes in the autumn, the county government would directly issue the task without him having to ask.

Wu Zongrui learned all this from Luo Dianming. Wu Shunfu had been strictly blocking the information, and the rest of the Wu family had no idea.

Wu Zongrui came to the meeting hall reluctantly. He already knew about Wu Zongkun's affairs and knew that he was here to discuss Wu Zongkun's affairs.

Wu Zongkun praised Haikou, so he must bear the responsibility himself. If he is unable to bear it, Wu Shunfu, as his father, must step in to help solve the problem. If he wants to put this burden on the Wu family, it is absolutely impossible.

Wu Zongrui will be the first to stand up and object.

Entering the meeting hall, he saw Wu Shunfu sitting at the top, Wu Shunian on the left, and Wu Zonglin and Wu Zongkun standing below. Wu Zongrui's face changed slightly, and he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Zong Rui is here, second brother, let's start discussing things."

Before Wu Shunnian could speak, Wu Shunfu continued.

"Zong Kun went to the county government to do things and was already a military officer. Although he didn't go to the county government for a long time, he worked diligently and won the favor and praise of the county magistrate. This time he returned to Xinlong to urge

To collect taxes is also an assignment from the magistrate. This is Zong Kun’s opportunity and the honor of my Wu family. Zong Kun, you must do your job well so that you will not let down the expectations of the magistrate."

Wu Zongkun looked at Wu Shunfu, nodded excitedly, and glanced at Wu Shunnian and Wu Zongrui at the same time.

Wu Shunfu's peripheral vision also glanced at Wu Zongrui.

"Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I discussed with my second brother and asked some elders in the family that Xinlongli suffered a disaster last year and many families had no food to eat. At this time, it is indeed very difficult to collect taxes.

, but Zong Kun came to Xinlong on behalf of the county government to urge classes, so he must do his best."

Speaking of this, Wu Shunfu's tone became sharper.

"Many of the folks in Xinlong are also our folks. If they are temporarily unable to pay their land taxes or even find themselves struggling to have lunch, we cannot ignore them and we must use the strength of the entire clan to help them."

"This time Zongkun urges land taxes, just do your best. If you really can't pay the taxes, don't urge them. Let them take a break."

"However, this land tax cannot be owed in arrears. It must be paid on time, so I thought of a way. Our Wu family will help bear some of it and help pay part of the land tax. Please tell me the specific method, second brother."

Wu Shunnian was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Shunfu who was standing above him, and reluctantly spoke.

"The patriarch asked me to speak, so I will speak."

"The total land tax that needs to be paid in the spring in Xinlongli is twenty-nine taels of silver. Among them, the land tax that the Wu family needs to pay is thirteen thousand taels of silver. There is no problem with this part of the land tax. The remaining sixteen taels

Qian Yinzi needs to find Li Zheng and the grain collection officer to urge the class."

"The clan leader has discussed with Li Zheng. It is estimated that it would be good to receive half of this part of the land tax. The rest of the land tax needs to be borne by our Wu family and will be paid when the opportunity is right."

"The specific way to bear the burden is to calculate it based on the cultivated land owned by the Wu family. Except for the cultivated land that is exempt from tax, the rest will be equally shared. The specific amount will be calculated at the end of April and the beginning of May."

...

After Wu Shunnian finished speaking, Wu Shunfu spoke again.

"This is also for the honor of my Wu family. The county magistrate favors our Wu family so much. We can't lose face..."

Wu Zonglin kept looking at Wu Zongrui with his peripheral vision, and his eyes clearly showed uneasiness. In fact, he completely disagreed with this method. The problems with other members of the family were not too big, and the second uncle would not say much. His first worry was

Wu Zongrui.

After Wu Shunfu finished speaking, Wu Zongkun spoke with excitement.

"Father, second uncle, I will do my best to teach the land tax in Xinlongli. This time I have been entrusted by the magistrate. I will definitely fulfill my mission and bring glory to the Wu family..."

"I don't think this will necessarily bring glory to the family. On the contrary, it will plunge the Wu family into a situation of eternal disaster."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Zongkun's expression changed instantly, he turned to look at Wu Zongrui, and spoke fiercely.

"Hmph, what do you know? Do you think that you know everything if you pass the Linshan Student Examination? You can't tarnish the honor of your family at will..."

With a sneer on his face, Wu Zongrui took two steps forward and spoke unhurriedly.

"Zong Kun, since you said so, I will say something carefully so that you can hear me clearly."

"First of all, the talk about the great trust of the county magistrate is pure nonsense. You use such childish reasons to deceive the clan leader and the second uncle. What are your intentions? The county magistrate is directly responsible for urging taxes. If you want to arrange the arrangements for urging taxes

The task is also directly addressed by the county magistrate, and does not need to be specifically emphasized by the county magistrate. Furthermore, among the six offices of the county government, the household office is responsible for urging tax collection. If there is a task of urging taxes, the household office is also directly responsible."

"In other words, the county's spring field tax collection went smoothly, and the credit belongs to the household department, and has little to do with the other five households."

"Secondly, I think it is inappropriate for many members of the Wu family to equally share the land taxes that other farmers cannot pay. Everything has its origin. Since Zong Kun took the initiative to undertake the task of urging taxes, then he should complete it honestly.

, try every means to complete it, if it requires the efforts of the entire family, and Zong Kun is required to urge taxes, others can do it."

"Thirdly, regarding the land tax in Xinlongli, I will settle the accounts and let the clan leader and second uncle know. There are more than 2,400 acres of cultivated land in Xinlongli, of which the Wu family has more than 1,100 acres of cultivated land.

, the land tax and other taxes borne throughout the year totaled thirty-four cents and two cents, which is equivalent to three cents and one cent per mu of cultivated land. Thanks to the favor of the imperial court, my Wu family has nearly three hundred acres of cultivated land exempted from taxation.

All taxes were paid, but the total taxes were not reduced. In other words, these taxes fell on the remaining 800 acres of cultivated land, and the tax per mu of cultivated land was 4.2 cents."

"I was fortunate enough to gain fame and my family's sixteen acres of farmland were exempted from taxes. However, these taxes were borne by other farmers in the Wu family."

"Let's look at the other cultivated land in Xinlongli, which totals 1,300 acres. The tax-free cultivated land is less than 100 acres. The remaining 1,200 acres of cultivated land are all required to pay land taxes. Let's calculate it as if half of the land tax can be collected.

, then for the remaining 800 acres of cultivated land of my Wu family, the tax for each mu of cultivated land will increase by 2.6 cents. In other words, for the remaining 800 acres of cultivated land of my Wu family, the tax for each mu of cultivated land will reach 7 cents.

.”

"Now let's take a look at how much income can be obtained from each mu of cultivated land. Based on the harvest of one stone and five dendrobium grains per mu of cultivated land, the maximum price of rice is four qian silver, and the income can be six qian silver per mu of arable land."

"However, this calculation method ensures the highest income without suffering a disaster."

"Last year, the farmland was hit by a disaster, and my Wu family was no exception. The grain output was less than one stone, and some even only had about five grains. After taking into account various expenses, there was no food left, and many farmers had problems eating."

"The government is collecting the spring field tax. Our Wu family still needs to work together to overcome this difficulty."

"Zong Kun, are you going to drag our Wu family into despair just because of your decision? Do you know what will happen if the farmers of the Wu family bear the land tax that they should not bear?

as a result of."

...

Not even the quiet breathing could be heard in the meeting hall.
