At dawn that day, Luo Yong got up.
Yesterday, the county captain and others submitted a lot of information to him, all about the situation of some needy households in various villages and towns.
He has been too busy these past two days and has accumulated a lot of information on his hands.
He has no time to read it carefully.
He has no other plans this morning, so he got up early to read this.
After looking at it, Luo Yong felt that something was wrong, so he changed his clothes and went to the front hall, and sent someone to call the county captain, county magistrate and others.
County Lieutenant Guo Fenglai was already up at this time.
He had just arrived in Changle County not long ago, and he was not familiar with many places.
In addition, he had the emperor's orders, so he did not dare to be lazy.
The county chief clerk probably hadn't gotten up yet.
He was very tired from collecting taxes a few days ago.
He probably hadn't recovered much yet.
When he arrived in front of Luo Yong, his face was still a little tired.
"I looked at the people in various villages and towns who could not pay taxes this morning, and found something wrong."
Luo Yong said to them when everyone was present.
"What's wrong?"
the county magistrate asked.
"That's right" Luo Yong was just about to say, when he heard another movement outside.
The officer guarding outside said that the county magistrate and others were discussing something, so he said that he should go to the small hall and wait first.
When Luo Yong heard the voice of Old County Magistrate Tan, he told the officers outside to ask them to invite Old County Magistrate Tan in.
Old Magistrate Tan should be more aware of today's matter than others present.
"Why are we discussing matters here so early in the morning?
I don't know what is being discussed."
After the old county magistrate Tan came in, he asked Luo Yong and others.
"These are the things that are not taxed in our Changle County."
Luo Yong first stretched out his hand to signal the old county magistrate Tan to sit down, and then said to him: "I think these people who cannot pay taxes can clearly be classified as non-taxable."
Households, why do they still have to pay rent, and there are so many households?”
At this time, the population was mostly calculated by the number of households.
How many households there were in that village, who was the head of the household, how many people were in the family, etc., all had to be compiled into books, so these people were also called compiled households.
In terms of tax standards, these households are divided into taxable households and non-taxable households.
Taxable households refer to taxable households, taxable households refer to households that need to pay rent and perform corvee, and non-taxable households refer to non-taxable households.
Households who need to pay rent and perform corvee work.
As for local taxes and household taxes, usually, as long as the family has land to farm and lives as a household in the Tang Dynasty, they generally have to pay.
In addition to some nobles and nobles' related tribes, slaves, etc., there are also monks, nuns, old people, widows and concubines, disabled people, etc.
The last group is aimed at the situation where some poor people in society cannot afford taxes.
In the past, when Luo Yong was in Lishi County, although the standards for distinguishing households with subjects and households without subjects were not strictly in accordance with the above standards, they were still very different.
How come he arrived in Changle County, and the entrance and exit turned out to be like this?
As big as the country, many disabled families are also required to pay mediocre rents.
This is also the case when there are obviously no able-bodied workers in the family, only some half-grown-ups.
"The Ming Dynasty should also know that the classification of households subject to tax and households not subject to tax is not updated frequently, only once every few years.
Officials in various places are often more stringent when making actual assessments.
If not, where can they collect so many tax" The current county magistrate of Changle County has traveled to many places in the past.
He is not surprised by this situation.
In his opinion, the situation in Changle County is not very bad.
"Although I also knew about this matter, I didn't expect it to be so serious in Changle County."

The situation that seemed relatively optimistic to the county magistrate seemed quite serious to Luo Yong.
After all, everyone's experience If they are different, the standards will naturally be different.
"Tan is so ashamed."
Old County Magistrate Tan said with shame.
In the past, there were villagers who came to the government office and wanted to help some families there.
The county captain before had ordered the officers to beat the people out without saying a word.
After several times, Then no one came to ask for help.
After many years, the local people probably have no expectations for the non-household taxation.
For more than half a year after Luo Yong took office, no one has ever mentioned the non-household taxation to him.
"What does Mingfu think?"
Guo Fenglai asked at this time.
Luo Yong sighed and said, "Let's count again."
"For those households that are newly classified as non-taxable households, if they have already paid the tax, they will be refunded if they should.
If they have not paid, they will be exempted."
"There are also these households, this, this, and this, which you have all understood and verified, so please forgive them for now."
"How can I return the rent that has already been paid?"
"Just come out of the household tax."
"Here."
"I came here today and I have one more thing to ask for."
Old County Magistrate Tan said again at this time.
"Tan Weng, please speak."
Luo Yong said.
"There are still some orphans, widows, old and weak people under the jurisdiction of Changle County.
Not to mention taxes, if no one helps them, they can't even support themselves.
In previous years, I would allocate some firewood and rice from my farm and distribute it to help a little.
I don’t know what the Ming government’s plans are for this year.”
It is said that a small amount of firewood and rice are allocated, but in fact, the output of Old County Magistrate Tan's field every year is basically invested in it.
If the year is bad, he has to use some salary to supplement it, because of this The wife and children at home were quite complaining about the incident.
"As it was in previous years, so it will be this year.
I'll have to trouble Mr.
Tan more about this matter."
Infinitely good articles can be found in Jinjiang Literature City "Why does the Ming Dynasty need to be more polite?
The Ming Dynasty has a kind heart, which is always a blessing to the people."
Also on the same day, in Jinchang City, not far from Changle County, Chen Jiao had a drink with the Jinchang County magistrate, called Fu Bingcao over, and asked him what he had seen and heard in Changle County these days.
Fu Bingcao then told what he saw.
As he spoke, he looked at the two people sipping wine with leisurely expressions on their faces.
He couldn't help but think of the people in Changle County who were so busy that they left early and returned late all day long.
Luo Yong et al.
Luo Yong used the tea trade as an excuse to lend troops to Jinchang.
Now that winter is approaching, the peak trading period has passed, and the Hu merchants have almost left.
In addition, Tang Jian brought a new county captain to Luo Yong this time.
I heard that he was appointed by the saint.
In this way, naturally there was no need to pay the military officer.
After staying in Changle County for a period of time, seeing their people busy every day and the prosperous scene of Changle County, I felt a little uncomfortable returning to Jinchang City.
They are all officials, like Chen Jiao, who came from a noble family.

They were born to be officials.
Being an official is their destiny and their destination.
It is common to eat, drink and have fun.
Sometimes they have good intentions.
It would be a great kindness to understand the hardships of people's livelihood.
Seeing him sitting here today, drinking and chatting, could it be because he has nothing to do in the palace?
It's not that it's nothing, it's just that those things are nothing in their eyes.
"That's all" "That's all I heard and saw in Changle County."
"Shan, you go down first."
"Here."
Winter is approaching, and it’s time for Fu Bing Cao to prepare for the winter.
Recently in Changle, I saw the salaries and benefits of those county sergeants, and then I took a look at the people under his command.
Fu Bingcao, who was walking outside the palace, couldn't help but look back and frowned slightly.
At the same time, thousands of miles away.
A group of young talents selected by the aristocratic families in Chang'an City are about to cross the Yellow River at this time.
After crossing the Yellow River, heading west is the Hexi Corridor.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City They had not yet reached the ferry and were walking up the Yellow River.
They met some villagers blowing sheepskin rafts on the edge of the Yellow River.
They blew the empty sheepskin raft until it was bulging, then tied the air outlet tightly with a rope, and then tied the vegetables and other things that they carried out from the village tightly to the sheepskin raft and pushed it to the shallows.
Sit on it and float down the stream.
Most of these noble men used to live in Chang'an City, and they were not the key training targets of the family.
If the family was unwilling to provide financial support, they would naturally not be able to travel around to increase their knowledge.
In a scene like today, they are all It's the first time I've seen him.
There was a talkative young man among the villagers who started chatting with these young men and asked them about Chang'an City.
He also told them that today he was going to transport these two baskets of reeds to the towns downstream to exchange for money.
When we went there we took a sheepskin raft, and when we came back we walked back on two legs along the bank of the Yellow River.
The young gentlemen listened and watched, feeling very strange.
They saw the villagers getting on the sheepskin raft one after another, drifting farther and farther away.
When they were about to leave, they saw the young man's sheepskin raft being carried away by the turbulent current in the river.
The young man seemed a little panicked and lost his balance.
His raft overturned and he fell into the river.
The young men on the river bank had never seen such a scene before.
They were all stunned for a moment.
When they realized what they were doing, they saw that the river was fast.
They were all not good at water.
For a moment, no one dared to say anything about going into the water to save people. .
Fortunately, the young man was good at swimming.
After a while, he emerged from the river, holding his sheepskin raft with one hand and bobbing in the water, looking around, probably looking for his two baskets of reeds.
But the river was deep and fast, and within a few moments, his two baskets of reeds had been washed away.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "Don't look for it anymore, it's better to get ashore quickly."
A young man here couldn't help shouting to him. "" The young man ignored him and floated in the water, being carried downstream by the river.
After a while, he climbed onto the sheepskin raft again, his eyes still searching the surrounding water.
These young gentlemen of noble family background were standing on the river bank, watching the young man wandering around on the river, slowly drifting farther and farther with the river, and felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Gentlemen, you'd better hurry up and don't miss today's ferry."
"Let's go."

The horse's hooves clattered on the road, the carriage swayed, and outside the window was the turbid and rapid water of the Yellow River.
On both sides of the Yellow River were endless stretches of vast rivers and mountains.
Walking among the mountains and rivers, it was the first time for the young men to feel so deeply the vastness of the world and the insignificance of human power.
