Now many people from several counties around Ping'an County have come to Ping'an County to seek livelihood.
As for the people in Ping'an County, their status was now high and they looked down on the people in the surrounding counties.
In Ping'an County, no matter how remote or poor the village is, the boys and girls in the village have no worries about getting married.
Girls from the surrounding counties and villages all cut their heads and wanted to marry into Ping'an County.
Who made Ping'an County produce a good county magistrate?
In just one year since I came to Ping'an County, Ping'an County has undergone earth-shaking changes.
…
Unconsciously, time passed by June, came to July, and entered August.
The annual tax collection activity is also in full swing.
In the past, tax collection was a big problem for every county.
After all, rich families are unwilling to hand over food, but the common people have no food to hand over.
In this era when imperial power did not go to the countryside, those who collected taxes were local officials.
These petty officials are all thinking about how to collect more grain and enrich their own pockets.
Therefore, every time a tax is levied, various contradictions will be triggered.
As for this year's tax collection, these situations do not exist in Ping'an County at all.
There is no need to talk about the rich households, each one is happier than the other.
They didn't even need anyone to rush them, and the tax collection hadn't even started yet. They had already prepared the money and sent it to the county government early.
After all, the profits they can share in the carriage workshop are astonishing, and this little tax money is just a drop in the bucket to them.
They can naturally figure out how to choose.
As for the petty officials who collect taxes, not to mention the petty officials who were found on behalf of the county magistrate Lu Liu, they are all clean-blooded, capable and professionally ethical.
Shan said that after the reform, the money was directly collected and the money spent was returned to the public.
They can only collect as much as they can, and the rules eliminate the possibility of them being greedy.
But now, the people throughout Ping'an County are also rich, and this tax money can be easily obtained.
Of course, even in affluent places, there are inevitably poor people.
This is not necessarily because these people are lazy and lazy.
But there will be many accidents in life, diseases and various accidents, which will destroy your efforts.
After the inspection, if the families are really poor, their taxes will be exempted directly.
Fortunately, there are not many real poor people in Ping'an County. Altogether, there are only two to three hundred households.
This is an extremely low number for a large county.
Soon, tax money was collected, totaling forty-six thousand taels of silver.
The tax revenue of one county in Ping'an County is almost comparable to the tax revenue of one county.
If it were implemented throughout Great Xia, not to mention that taxes and benefits could be increased tenfold, but at least it could be increased fivefold.
Soon, Ping'an County's tax bankers were escorted to Beijing, once again causing a sensation in the court.
Anyone with insight can see the benefits of change.
The changes in Ping'an County are perfect.
Although in the early stage, three families were raided and hundreds of people were killed.
But which change can be accomplished without bloodshed?
The changes in Ping'an County were really perfect. Apart from the robbery of three major families, there was no subsequent turmoil.
Even the fourteen families were extremely active in paying taxes and actively cooperated.
The people's livelihood in Ping'an County has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year.
Jia Huan's talent can be said to be that he can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.
Throughout the history books, we have never heard of such methods.
Even among those conservatives, some began to waver in their hearts.
After all, although conservatives are powerful, they may not all be united.
Some conservatives are really conservatives.
Because they themselves are from aristocratic families, or are spokespersons of aristocratic families.
They opposed the new law purely because the new law affected their interests, which led to their opposition.
Some conservatives are afraid that changes will cause turmoil in the entire Xia Dynasty and even shake the country.
But if the changes can be implemented as smoothly as in Ping'an County, it can be said that the changes will definitely be a good thing for Daxia.
After the labor pains, Daxia's overall national strength will definitely flourish and create another prosperous era.
These ministers will also be able to go down in history.
As for the changes in the minds of the court officials, Emperor Chongkang watched with cold eyes and calculated in his mind that those conservative officials could be won over.
…
Time has entered August, and it is also the day of the college examination.
The college examination also attracted Jia Huan's attention. Jia Lan and Qin Jingqing will also participate in this college examination.
If both of them can pass this academy examination, they will be able to obtain the title of scholar.
Especially Jia Lan, if he can also obtain the title of scholar, he can further control the big-faced treasure.
I'm afraid that the big-faced baby's life will become even more difficult in the future.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th has passed.
The results of the college examination were finally released.
Jia Lan and Qin Jingqing both passed the test and ranked 15th and 12th respectively.
Jia Lan successfully obtained the title of scholar, and the entire Rongguo Mansion was extremely happy.
The masters naturally created another reading seed for the Jia family, and the Jia family will be more prosperous and happy in the future.
The servants were rewarded. This month, all the slaves' monthly money was doubled. How could they not be happy?
After Jia Huan learned the news, he was happy for a moment and then put his hand away.
He is just a scholar with a reputation, and he hasn't taken it seriously yet.
What concerns Jia Huan the most is that three new crops are about to be harvested.
These three new crops are naturally sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts.
It is mainly cultivated by fourteen aristocratic families, each of which has dedicated one thousand acres of land to grow these three new crops.
During the harvest season, the common people saw it as a joke.
These three new crops are of course very high-yielding. Just like the sweet potatoes, the yield per mu is more than two thousand kilograms.
I don’t know how much higher it is than wheat.
However, although these things are not bad in taste, they cannot be eaten as staple food, so they cannot be sold at all.
There is no need to grow so much for anything.
Jia Huan smiled and ordered people from the Fourteenth Family to cut the sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes and then put them in the ground to dry.
As for corn and peanuts, as long as they are dried, he will buy them all at the price of wheat.
In this way, the family dedicated a thousand acres of land to grow these three crops, and instead of losing money, they actually made a profit.
After all, the yields of these three crops are much higher than wheat.
Soon, the corn and peanuts were dried.
Dried sweet potatoes still have to wait two days.
Jia Huan ordered his people to buy all the corn and peanuts first.
Next, Jia Huan directly ground the corn into powder on the mill in the carriage workshop.
Then mix the batter and start spreading the pancakes in front of everyone. (End of chapter)
