    After Tanchun got married, Jia Mu¡¯s only involvement was Baoyu who was in Jinling.

    She would pray in front of Jia Daishan every day, begging Jia Daishan to bless Baoyu in one fell swoop. Also praying every day were Li Wan and her relatives in the backstreets. Jialan Jialan Jiaji also returned to Jinling to test the waters.

    On the eighth day of August, Baoyu Jialan, Jiajun Jialan and Jialan entered the 8th game. They were escorted by Jia Ling and Jia Yun.

    Jia Yun is now a model county magistrate in Haijiang. It is a great honor to come in person to give exams to several brothers and Baoyu.

    Jia Yun came here to take the exam, and to convey Jia Lian¡¯s wishes. Jia Lian hoped that they would not be in a hurry to return to Beijing after the exam.  I hope that some of you will go to Haijiang to experience the officialdom and learn the rules of the officialdom.

    Furthermore, Jia Lian also wanted to introduce these family members to his colleagues so that they could become familiar with each other so that they could be taken care of in the future.

    Except for Baoyu, who was eager to return home, Jialan, Jiajun, and Jialan were all wild boys. When they heard that they could go to Haijiang to study, they were very happy and busily ordered the servants to deliver letters home. They each pulled Jia Lian as a cover: "Lian Er  My uncle said, it is better to travel thousands of miles and go to the sea to train as an intern than to read thousands of books!"

    Jia Lian is now a mythical figure in the Jia family, and Sister Feng and her children have all been to the sea. If it was a barbaric land, how could Jia Lian have the heart to marry Sister Qiao there.  Furthermore, even if it was a barbaric land, Jia Lian would not dare not go there if he asked!

    In early September, Jia Lian's courier sent a letter back to Beijing before the government. Baoyu Jialan, Jiajun Jialan and other high school candidates participated in the deer singing banquet hosted by Jiangsu's chief envoy and the Jinling prefect.

    This time, the Jia family is quite famous in Jinling.

    The plaque "Shilihehejia" written by the chief envoy of Jiangsu Province was sent to Jia's old house in Jinling with gongs and drums.

    When Jia She heard this, he regretted that he had not personally escorted several of his grandchildren back home, and missed the opportunity to show his face.

    Then, the good news from the government arrived.

    The sound of drum music in front of Rong Ning¡¯s second residence never stopped all day long.

    Afterwards, Jia Mansion hosted a banquet for guests.

    Sister Feng led a group of ladies from the Jia family to the Tianqi Temple to offer porridge, and then the boys from the clan went to the Tiekan Temple to kneel and pray.

    Since the incident with Brother Zhang Jin, Sister Feng has never had any contact with the nuns, and all the rituals have been handed over to Taoist Zhang of Tiekuan Temple.

    But it is said that on this day, the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, the Jia family held a banquet for four guests at once.

    Relatives and friends came to congratulate her, and even the queen, Yu Lianyue, sent people to her door to congratulate her. It was truly a great honor.

    Mother Jia¡¯s face was frozen with laughter that day.

    Since then, girls from the Jia clan, even girls from side branches, have become the objects of competition for marriage among noble families in Kyoto.

    Jialan Jiajun and others are just the first batch of students trained by the Jia family, and there will be three more students. Each time, ten students are selected to enter the school, and now they are all studying in the government.  Good guy, with a batch of four-promoted people, how many people will Jia be able to achieve in the future?

    It is beneficial to make friends and relatives as early as possible.

    When he turned around, he told Jia Lian that Baoyu and the others had arrived at Haijiang. Jia Lian asked the four of them to write down their poems silently and pointed out their shortcomings one by one.

    After that, Jia Lian said: "Baoyu's articles have made great progress, and Jia Lan has also touched the threshold of Jinshi. He can participate in next year's Spring Festival. Jia Jun Jia Lan, your articles are a little less popular. If you participate, it is best to be a Jinshi."  , with Jinshi as a wife, the status is evident. In my opinion, you brothers will wait for one more subject. Thirty-year-old Jinshi is not considered old. You are only fifteen now, so don¡¯t worry. Jia Lan, will you pass the Jinshi next spring?  It¡¯s difficult, your ranking won¡¯t be very good, it¡¯s a bit difficult to pass the Shujishi test, you decide for yourself whether to take the test or not.¡±

    Therefore, Jia Lan wrote a special letter back to Beijing to discuss with Li Wan. Finally, Li Wan spoke, saying that now their wives had no worries about food and clothing, and supported Jia Lan to wait for another subject.

    The people in the backstreet all looked at Li Wan, and Li Wan's decision made them finally make up their minds.

    Jia Lian received a reply from the Kyoto tribe and soon arranged for the three of Jia Lan to be scribes under Jia Yun.  He said: "You will work here for three months and learn how to write documents. Then, you will do taxation experience with Mr. Xiong and learn economics. After one year, you will go to the Governor's Yamen to help me. Are you willing?"

    The three of them responded in unison: "Listen to my second uncle."

    Baoyu traveled to Haijiang for three days, bought a car full of gifts, and returned to Beijing in a hurry. He was going to practice his writing with Uncle Lin. Next spring, he must hit the mark.

    As soon as Baoyu left, Jia Lian began the first tax collection work after the war.

    Jia Lian had already estimated the difficulty of collecting taxes, but his horizons were refreshed by the perseverance ability of the gentry in Fujian and Zhejiang to evade taxes.

    Because North KoreaThe imperial court clearly stipulated that the land in Fujian and Zhejiang was strictly prohibited from being bought and sold within one year. These people got along with each other in a new way. Instead of buying and selling, they gave it to relatives and friends instead.

    It is also said that these people are really good at taking advantage of loopholes. Their so-called relatives and friends are those scholars and tenants who have no land.

    There are also some scoundrels who actually lure the elderly who have lost their children and put their land on the widows and widowers in nursing homes.

    They thought they had stumped Jia Lian.

    Unexpectedly, Jia Lian immediately issued a governor's order that anyone who owned land was no longer allowed to stay in the nursing home and enjoy government benefits.  After this wave of inspections, those old people suddenly stopped working. The rich people only gave them a dozen taels of silver. How many years can they support them?

    These people came out one by one to report, exposing the ugly faces of these gentry to the sun.

    Jia Lian deprived these gentry of tax evasion of their titles and honors. Not only would they not be able to evade taxes, but the previously tax-free land would also have to be taxed.

    It¡¯s really a waste of money.

    Then, Jia Lian issued a supervisory order to the poor farmers and tenants. Any common people who have land in their names and more than five acres per capita will be deprived of the qualification to lease official land.

    The reason is simple. The government rents official land to tenant farmers and farm laborers at low prices in order to provide food and clothing for the people. Now that these people have land in their names, they are no longer eligible to enjoy government subsidies.

    Not only that, the land under these people¡¯s names will also be charged 30% of the rent in accordance with regulations.

    As a result, a large number of tenant farmers and farm laborers exploded again.

    They promised to hide land for wealthy households, but received 10% of the rent. Now they have to pay 30%, and they are losing 20%.

    Furthermore, if they lose the qualification to rent official land, they will lose their source of livelihood. No one is stupid, and they can no longer ruin their jobs because of others.

    As a result, the names of a large number of hiders were revealed again.

    The last wave is those scholars at the lowest level, that is, scholars.  Scholars can own fifty acres of tax-free land, and some greedy people take advantage of this opportunity.  Originally, the government's tax was two-tenths of the land's harvest, because floods and droughts were two seasons, but it was actually only one-tenth.  The charge for one acre of rice is only three liters, five combined and five scoops, which is really low.

    Those gentry who are unkind and want to get rich still want to avoid paying taxes.

    After Jia Lian learned about the situation, he first ordered the states and counties to post notices, requiring these people to declare themselves. Those who declared themselves would not be punished. Only those who hid the land would be punished, not those who harbored it.

    "If you don't declare yourself, but are reported by others, you will be expelled as a scholar and will never be hired.

    Jia Lian¡¯s move is not without its poison. Which scholar is willing to ruin his career with dozens of taels of silver?

    Many people voluntarily quit the land, and Jia Lian really let bygones be bygones.  There are also those who are lucky enough to think that they are doing it without being noticed. As a result, both people and money are lost, and the Qingyun Road is cut off from now on.

    After this wave of attacks, 60% of the land in the sea area has paid taxes, and the rest are those official families who hold important positions and high titles in various places.

    These people occupy a very small number of people in the coastal areas, but occupy 30% to 40% of the land.

    "These masters, when the officers and soldiers of the imperial court tightened their belts to fight, they greased the soles of their feet and ran into Kyoto to eat and drink, refusing to contribute any effort or money.  Now that there is peace, they are back to collect rent and evade taxes. They are just like a bunch of rats.

    Jia Lian hated these selfish things.  Decided not to tolerate these thieves anymore.

    They think they have something to rely on, but they don't hide the land. They just push it, saying that this is so-and-so's land, and we are just trustees. If you want to collect taxes, you go to Beijing to find so-and-so's minister to collect it.

    Jia Lian sneered, thinking that a Beijing official could scare him.  Jia Lian had soldiers at his disposal, and the handling was simple, rough and effective. For these officials and family members, Jia Lian personally led troops to the door. Anyone who dared not pay would be arrested in the name of tax resistance.

    Jia Lian was a persimmon hunter who specialized in picking up tough spots, and he was the first to arrest the father of Jiangsu Chief Minister Sizuo Chief Minister Chen Tinghua.

    As soon as he was arrested, people came to his door to ask for mercy in an endless stream.

    Jia Lian rejected the votes one by one.

    In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian received a letter from the personal guards of Chen Tinghua, the chief envoy. Chen Tinghua's tone was not soft, because Jia Lian's hometown was in Jiangsu, and the chief envoy's tone was very polite and frequent.

    Jia Lian sneered a few times and wrote a reply to Chen Tinghua. At the beginning of the letter, he wrote three names: Ping'an Island, Jade Field, and King Zhongshun.  Finally, Jia Lian twitched a piece of paper again and erased King Zhongshun.

    At midnight that day, Chen Tinghua rushed from Jinling to Jia Lian's governor's office. This guy was dressed like a post officer and entered the governor's office on the pretext of delivering an urgent newspaper five hundred miles away from Kyoto.

    Chen Tinghua asked to present the report to his residence. Jia Lian thought that this person was something strange, and he immediately laughed.  He dismissed his entourage, and Shi Shiran came out, looked at Chen Tinghua and said with a smile, "Why did Mr. Chen come here at starry night?"

    Chen Tinghua stared at the young and handsome Jia Lian, feeling hateful, afraid and jealous. He wished he could tear Jia Lian to pieces and eat him alive, but he had to kneel down to Jia Lian and said, "I beg Mr. Jia's subordinates to be reborn!"
