Looking back, Jia Lian has been focusing on the harvest of sweet potatoes in September. By early October, all the sweet potatoes planted have been harvested. The yield per mu reported by Fujian and Zhejiang provinces is pleasing to the eye. The highest yield of top-quality ripe land is 3,330. Jin, the minimum yield of cultivated land is 2,500 Jin.
The yield of sloping, potholed, sandy land ranges from 1,800 jins to 800 jins at the highest, with 1,500 jins being the most common. However, even with a harvest of 800 kilograms, one acre of sandy land can ensure that a family of three will not starve to death.
Jia Lian quickly reported the results of the autumn harvest in Fujian and Zhejiang to Emperor Jiakang. Emperor Jiakang was overjoyed when he heard the news and decided to promote it in Gansu, Henan, Huguang and other places.
Emperor Jiakang quickly ordered the governors of Gansu, Henan, and Huguang to send people to Fujian and Zhejiang for inspection and study. The Governor of Gansu reacted positively, but Henan and Huguang expressed their opinions, believing that Huguang in Henan was not suitable for planting sweet potatoes, and reluctantly promoting it would only delay the original autumn harvest.
Emperor Jiakang's order to plant sweet potatoes early in Henan and Huguang was not without purpose. In addition to exchanging letters with Jia Lian, he also had a deep conversation with Mr. Du. He believed that the weather in summer and autumn in Henan and Huguang was not much different from that in Fujian and Zhejiang, so it should be possible to plant it even if there were no Fujian and Zhejiang. With an output of three thousand catties, as long as the yield per mu is one thousand catties, it will be a great harvest. Furthermore, wheat is often planted for one season in Huguang, Henan, and there is no space between June and October. Use it to try planting, and even if the harvest is not good, you can still make up for it.
As a result, the governors of these two places actually ignored the trouble and pushed back. Emperor Jiakang was immediately angry and issued an edict to reprimand the governors of Henan and Huguang. If Emperor Jiakang followed his original intention, he could directly replace them and replace them with people who were willing to obey. However, these people were all veterans left by the late emperor, and he wanted to give him some face. Therefore, the two of them were given two days to travel. First, they resigned themselves, and the court hired a capable person to take over. Second, the Lixia military order stated that if the sweet potatoes are not in the middle, and someone encounters a natural or man-made disaster, and another person starves to death on the ground in Huguang, Henan, they will be killed. If many people died of starvation, their entire families would be killed.
Yu Yanming, the governor of Huguang, originally thought that the emperor's son-in-law would write politely, but he ended up scolding him so much that he even lost his life. In fact, this was all their own doing. Mrs. Yu dared to trick the emperor into taking concubines during his filial piety. If it weren't for the sake of Marquis Yan and the empress, Yu Yanming and his wife would have been stabbed long ago.
How can you be polite if you find a reason for the emperor this time? The Governor of Henan was also unlucky and was implicated by Yu Yanming.
" Yu Yanming was threatened and scolded by the emperor's son-in-law, and he immediately became honest. His parents and children came to Kyoto to explain that they were afraid that farmers would invest human and financial resources and not harvest grains in the autumn, making it difficult to communicate. This was not disrespectful of the sacred mandate.
Emperor Jiakang didn't buy it: "What loss? Sweet potato seeds are distributed free of charge by the imperial court. Are you willing to wait to starve to death rather than use your hands and feet to find a way to survive and take a well-off road?"
Yu Yanming was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to hand over the government affairs to the chief envoy and personally lead the team to Fujian and Zhejiang for sightseeing and study. Later, Yu Yanming seemed to never look back on the road to planting sweet potatoes, and personally went deep into the Huangpi Dabie Mountains, Zigui Shennongjia and other mountainous areas. Because most of western Huguang is mountainous, rice planting was limited and wheat yield was low. The people suddenly fell in love with sweet potatoes. Moreover, Yu Yanming continued his efforts and invented the method of interplanting soybeans with sweet potato fields. As a result, there was a double harvest of soybeans and sweet potatoes.
Therefore, Emperor Jiakang, who was well-known in other provinces, traveled to Huguang to study and finally gained back his experience. It also brought face to his daughter and grandson. Since then, the parents' hearts have finally opened up.
This is something.
Looking back, Jia Lian succeeded in planting sweet potatoes in two seasons in the dry fields in the first year, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people. Starting from October of this year, Jia Lian began to prepare for the implementation of the New Deal. To put it bluntly, the New Deal was to levy all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes from the land.
This policy is somewhat meant to equalize wealth and poverty. Because most of the land is in the hands of nobles and nobles. These people are tax exempt.
In the twelfth lunar month of this year, based on the public opinion he listened to during the three-month land surveying trip, Jia Lian gave Emperor Jiakang a letter of advice. The main content was to consider how much tax-free land the gentry owned.
Since ancient times, the tax exemption for gentry has been deeply rooted in people¡¯s cognition. If there is a one-size-fits-all approach now, the rebound is expected to be huge. Jia Lian suggested taking it step by step.
What kind of step-by-step method? Just like the golden flowers on the heads of official wives, restrictions are given.
For example, a scholar is limited to 100 acres of tax-free land, a scholar is limited to 300 acres, a Jinshi is 500 acres, a seventh-rank official is 600 acres, and so on. The bigger the official, the more tax-free land. So is the Lord.
As for how much tax-free land each class of gentry has, Jia Lian has no conclusion. He hopes that the court will give a standard that takes into account the national interests and can take care of the gentry's dignity.
In addition, Jia Lian also made a suggestion, hoping that the imperial court could support the Ming Dynasty in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.Before the end of the year, large-scale land sales are prohibited because the country has previously stipulated that land is tax-free during the land review period. Jia Lian is afraid that someone will take advantage of this policy to fight against the new land tax policy next autumn.
Emperor Jiakang fully supported the new taxation policy in Fujian and Zhejiang and the two suggestions put forward by Jia Lian.
The day after receiving the report from Jia Lian, Emperor Jiakang was anxious for the cabinet to discuss the issue of the amount of tax-free land for the gentry.
Finally, the imperial court decided to divide the ranks into ten grades from scholar to first grade. Scholars were allowed fifty acres of tax-free land. Because a scholar only earns one tael of silver per month and can only sell thirty acres of fertile land in a lifetime, the scholar's quota is fifty acres of fertile land, and the fifty acres of slope land are tax-free. Then the ninth grade and eighteenth grade will increase according to the scholar's quota. In other words, from the ninth rank, one hundred acres of fertile land can be obtained by one hundred emperors without paying taxes. If you reach the first rank of the imperial court, you will have a thousand acres of fertile land without paying taxes.
From the Duke to the Duke, to the lowest jue of Wu Qiwei, the 27th level of the 9th, Wu Qiwei was tax -free for 50 acres.
?????The final tax exemption limit is 4,000 acres for the duke, 1,500 acres for the marquis, 1,000 acres for the earl, 800 acres for the viscount, and 500 acres for the baron.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Then there is the royal family. The prince has ten thousand acres, the prince five thousand acres, the prince four thousand acres, and the county prince three thousand acres. Those below the rank of auxiliary Duke are the same as civilian nobility.
The Princess Princess and the County Lord refer to the Princess, Princess and County Lord.
"For example, the Rongguo Mansion's thousands of hectares of meritorious fields in the eastern provinces, of which 96,000 acres will be taxed for one day that Jia's mother lives. In addition to the two marquises of Jia Mansion and the marquise of Sister Feng, Rong Mansion also has to pay land tax of 90,000 acres.
The taxes of the Dayue Dynasty were very low. They were only allowed to pay a little more than 19 catties per mu per quarter, less than 20 catties. Adding in the Ding tax and corvee, it only accounted for two-tenths of the harvest, which was really low.
"But the nobles of Dayue Dynasty really became more cunning and cunning the richer they got, but they just didn't like it.
In March of the new year, Jia Lian was in full swing measuring the land, organizing spring plowing, and receiving officials from Gansu, Henan, Huguang, and other provinces who came for sightseeing and study. He was so busy that he had no time to eat.
Jia Lian received a letter from home, saying that Rongguo Mansion was going to hold a big wedding.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? Because the Queen of Heaven¡¯s death has delayed the marriage of the Yingchun and Tanchun sisters, we have to hurry up this time. Although we will not go abroad now, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, there are still many concubines in the palace.
Jia Lian is divided and lacks skills, so he only misses the wedding where his sister meets her brother. However, nowadays, the goods from Fujian and Zhejiang are almost unparalleled in the world. Thinking that girls may like pearls and gems, before Sister Feng left, Jia Lian took Sister Feng to visit several imported shops and bought those brightly colored gemstones, as well as red and black ones. I bought a few boxes of novelty pearls for the Spring Festival, which is just an added bonus.
Sister Feng and her two daughters now dress like Western women, with curly hair, high-waisted skirts, flowered umbrellas, and high heels. However, Jia Lian only allowed him to learn how to dress from those foreign women, but not to learn to dance. Not only did he give a message to Sister Feng, he would break her legs if she dared to imitate him, but he also gave a message to Franji, and if he dared to instigate his wife to cuddle with a man, he would have his foreign trade copied.
Therefore, although Sister Feng can now wear a skirt and drink coffee, she cannot dance.
Even Sister Qiao can¡¯t dance, but Sister Qiao and Sister Qian have learned all the Western etiquette.
This time when she was getting married in the Spring Festival, Sister Feng went on a shopping spree of Western items, especially Western dresses and Western jewelry, and bought a set for each of the female relatives of Rongning and Ningfus. Even Jia's mother, the Xing family, also had a share. Sister Feng doesn't care if they wear it or not.
"Sister Feng is going back to Beijing, so Sister Qiao will naturally follow her back to Beijing, causing Lu Ping's wife so much pain that she couldn't sleep well for several nights, and she stayed in the Governor's Yamen with her daughter Xiuying for several days. He said that he was helping Sister Feng pack her luggage, but the timing was too bad to let Sister Qiao and Sister Qian go.
Lu Ping saw this and sneered: "You stupid bitch, if you like her so much, you might as well take her home."
Mrs. Lu Ping rolled her eyes: "You think I didn't think of it? But several times I hinted to Sister Feng, he always pretended to be deaf and dumb. Please tell me what to do. Isn't it possible to steal the bride?"
Lu Ping thought about it and realized that this was right. He thought that the girl was still young and would talk to the Governor tomorrow.
Lu Ping¡¯s son Lu Yingjun was so anxious that his mother was too straightforward and didn¡¯t understand the twists and turns of people in Kyoto. How can a daughter who is begging for help say it to her face? Others think she is disrespectful?
Lu Yingjun had no choice but to go find his father. He was too embarrassed to say anything, so he laughed and said, "Dad, is the governor's wife going back to Beijing?"
Lu Ping saw at a glance that this kid was holding back his anger, pretending not to know, and snorted: "Nonsense, who doesn't know this? I have already asked your mother to help. Isn't your kid on good terms with that naughty brother? Go and help too." point."
Lu Yingjun was choked and panicked. My parents are so stupid! My mother is bad at talking, but my father is slow to respond!
