Few of the officials of the Datang Dynasty originally expected that they would be able to get that much money now, and enjoy what kind of glory and wealth.

Basically, they were psychologically prepared and knew that they could not enjoy the glory and wealth in the early stage, but even so, after defeating Zhu Zhihai's Guizhou Provincial Army and dispatching three detachments north, west and south, in order to show the Tang Dynasty of royal style.

At the same time, it is also to effectively solve the problem of the current Datang Dynasty officials, especially the middle and low-level officials, who are difficult to support their families, so this salary is still executed and then distributed.

This makes Mei Pingdong more gratified. Although he earns more than 900 taels a year, less than 1,000 taels, this is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty who can make tens of thousands of taels when he is a county magistrate for three years. The silver is nothing compared to it, but it can be regarded as a real improvement in the living standards of the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

But this account clearly states that his monthly salary is more than 80 taels, but he only has more than 60 taels of silver, which makes Mei Pingdong and the others a little puzzled. , These ten taels of silver are quite a lot. In these days, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were only paid more than one hundred taels of silver a year. They were unwilling to lose more than ten taels of silver for no reason!

At first, Mei Pingdong couldn't figure it out like everyone else, but gradually he started to think about it. Isn't this the float in the Ming Dynasty? The top gave a hundred taels of silver, and float was 30% to 50% normal.

Although I figured it out, I lost so much money for no reason. It is impossible to say that it is not heartache, and it would be a fart to be willing!

If you are in financial difficulties, you won't send it if you don't send it. The big guy didn't say anything. I think they didn't take a dime during the Yellow Bamboo Mountain period, but they still worked.

When he won Zhengtai County, Mei Pingdong had only three or four taels of silver per month to subsidize his family, but he continued to work.

Why is the scale of the Tang Dynasty getting bigger and bigger, and the salary for the big guy on the surface is getting higher and higher, but why is it that the more you like to do these twists and turns.

Naturally, they didn't know that the proposal of personal tax was proposed by Li Xuan, and it was only implemented in the salaries of officials, and the amount of tax deducted was actually calculated carefully, because the salaries of officials at the county magistrate level were originally paid. It was only 64 taels of silver, but Li Xuan stunned it to raise it to more than 80 taels of silver, and then another tax deduction.

Naturally, his purpose is not to deduct the salaries of officials, but to establish the concept of paying individual tax, and to pave the way for the promotion to the whole society in the later period, perhaps decades later.

That's why there is such a policy of taking off your pants and farting!

At this time, Mei Pingdong was saddened by the deduction of his salary, while looking at these gloomy gentry businessmen in front of him.

Seeing their faces are so ugly, Mei Pingdong's mood is inexplicably better, I will be deducted from taxes, you guys want to evade tax and evade taxes, and you even found Laozi's yamen to come up, look at Laozi, no, what will this official do? you.

Immediately, he coughed lightly, and then said, "Everyone is the backbone of my Huaiyuan County, why are you all coming to the county office today!"

As soon as Mei Pingdong opened his mouth, the many landlords and businessmen below were you, look at me, and I looked at you, and then an old man who seemed to be in his 60s or 70s and couldn't stand up straight stepped forward and said. : "Reporting to Mr. Mei, Caomin and others have a statement of grievance!"

Hearing the title of Mr. Mei, Mei Pingdong was relieved again. Today is not the first time they have come to him. It seems that they have looked for him a few times before. He did not take this Huaiyuan County magistrate of the Tang Dynasty in his eyes, and even an adult refused to say a word.

But after Mei Pingdong refused their requests to meet in a row, these people finally lowered their airs, and their attitude became lower and lower. At this time, Mei Pingdong met these people.

At this time, Mei Pingdong touched the long beard on his chin, and then said: "If there is a case, you can go to the county patrol police station to report it. Why are you looking for the county inspectorate and this official?"

Hearing what Mei Pingdong said, the humble old man Jian Kang scolded inwardly, "You think we haven't looked for it, we have, but it's useless.

"Reporting to the lord, it is about the agricultural tax and the commercial tax. Master Wang came to Huaiyuan County. According to the logic, donating military funds is for the little people, not to mention three or five thousand taels of silver, even if it is tens of thousands of taels of silver, the little people gritted their teeth. It can also support the past, but this year I have received several thousand taels of silver. This is really, it is really unsustainable!

The county patrol police station and the little people in the inspectorate have all looked for it, but it's useless! "

Although the patrol police station in Datang said that it is responsible for arresting theft and solving cases, but when they heard that they were going to report to the tax inspection team, they immediately shook their heads and said that this matter is not under our control, you should go to the relevant yamen .

They ran to the county inspectorate, which was said to be the inspector, and then the **** were also a ghost, saying that the tax inspection team was not under their control.

In the end, they went to the county tax official's office. Just after they entered, they didn't say what the tax inspection team said. They immediately asked, "When will the agricultural tax and commercial tax owed by your family be paid?"

If you were willing to pay taxes, there would be so much trouble there!

At that time, when Huaiyuan County was destroyed, the gentry and businessmen in the city could not escape in time, and many were blocked in the city. After the Datang Army captured Huaiyuan County, martial law was enforced for several days in a row, and no idlers were allowed. Waiting in and out of town.

And when these gentlemen in their city can leave, they have already come to the door with the list!

Want to run away?

Yes, pay the tax first!

If you don't pay, then you don't leave, and you're dead and alive, then the people of the tax inspection team won't be just arrogant, but they will turn into home raiding.

Some people are afraid of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the rebels of the Tang Dynasty. They want to go to the bright and free Ming Dynasty. They soon pay the money and then take the family out of the city. The old house and the farm are still dispatching a few trusted butlers. Just take care of the servants.

However, some people were uneasy about their family business and did not believe that the Tang Dynasty would ignore the voices of these gentry landlords, so they dared to stay.

Naturally, the Tang Dynasty did not ignore them, but attached great importance to them. Otherwise, they would not have cleared the list in just a few days, and then began to collect taxes according to the list.

Some people who are less timid and more open-minded, think about giving up some money to save their lives, so they will hand it over.

After all, the army is in chaos, there is a large army coming, and this army can't escape no matter what, it's just a matter of how many.

However, there are also some who are more daring, or they are simply reluctant, but they have been delayed without giving it. The county tax bureau is naturally not polite. The tax inspection team comes to the door every three days. stores, the shopkeepers, pals, and the like.

And Mei Pingdong also knows that it is only the most basic means now. If they continue to refuse to pay, the people on the tax inspection team should kill the chickens and show the monkeys, and they will choose one or two to directly raid their homes.

And this is just the seizure of the property!

If this still doesn't deter them, then it's time to kill!

Will choose a landlord or businessman with the worst attitude to directly raid the family and destroy the family!

Often after such a set of efforts, most of these landlords and merchants will have two extremes. One extreme is to immediately pay taxes obediently, while the other is to pick up a knife and gun, and yell at Lao Tzu, but don’t yell, you have the ability to bite me. .

Most of the taxpayers have no foundation. The merchants in the base areas, the small and medium-sized landlords, and most of the armed resistance taxpayers are the big landlords.

When encountering such a thing, there is nothing to say. Just ask the pirate camp or the regular army to go out.

Mei Pingdong, who knew all of this, even sympathized with them. It was not easy to make money. Except for a very small number of rich families, most of the big landowners had been deliberately thinking for many years, and gradually fell from the hands of the poor who broke their homes. Buy land at a price and let them be tenants for themselves!

How many years of hard work, are they easy?

It's not easy!

Speaking of landlords, we have to talk about land annexation, and the land annexation of each dynasty is a brutal history of blood and tears!

Maybe it’s good for the landlords to be good people. For example, in fact, many landlords purchased the land by normal means, because the anti-risk ability of ancient farmers was really bad, and if there was a slight natural disaster and man-made disaster, it was easy to sell the land. thing.

But sympathy is sympathy, but he has absolutely no idea of ​​supporting them. How many fields you have is not an official, but you can pay as much tax as you have, not even a cent!

This official pays taxes, but you don't want to pay it?

Besides, if you don't pay taxes, what will the troops who don't advance to the front line eat and fight? The question is where do the salaries of these officials come from?

Our Tang Dynasty treats hundreds of officials favorably, and this salary is not low. You can't rely on such a bit of mud to spend so much!

Therefore, big landlords and big businessmen must pay taxes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is the unified cognition within the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, especially in the eyes of Mei Pingdong, this kind of tax is more like a form of revenge. Who told them to support the hypocrisy before, and when they saw our Tang Dynasty, they said they were fake Tang thieves military.

Well now, it falls into the hands of our Datang Dynasty. If you don’t **** a few layers of your skin, you will not be able to resist the time-honored bandit tradition of our Datang Dynasty!

Immediately, Mei Pingdong showed a smile and said kindly: "This tax matter, you look for this official, this official can't help you much, you should go to the relevant yamen!"

In his heart, he secretly said: It is useless to find anyone, even if it is to directly submit a memorial to Li Xuan, the emperor, it will sink into the sea!

At this moment, a man with short eyes started to ask, "Dare to ask your lord, I don't know what this yamen is?"

Mei Pingdong snorted immediately: "Hmph, see off!"

Come on, you ask me, who should I ask?
