Chapter 1572 Everything else doesn't match at all?

"There is a document on the shelf behind the county magistrate's office. It is a tax reduction official document. No matter where Dachen is, the tax will be reduced by 20%. Depending on the time, it was issued to various places in the year when Shi Yuan ruled the world. In that room, there was no tax increase official document, no document on how much tax should be paid per mu regardless of the harvest, and no document on the tax per mu for vegetables grown outside the backyard."

Knowing that her family's Xue Yan had not finished speaking, Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to speak.

However, this official document alone can convince them that the heavy taxation in Dianku County has nothing to do with Shi Yuan.

Obviously other government offices also have this official document. This is the will issued by Shi Yuan, and the imperial capital obviously has it. Shi Yuan himself is aware of the will he issued, and the minister of civil and military affairs must also know it. Therefore, her family Xue Yan could not take this official document. It really doesn't matter if you take it back as evidence.

It would be better if you didn’t take it back.

Xue Yan then said: "I also went into the county government storeroom and looked at some of the booklets in the room where Dianku County's annual tax booklets were kept. The booklets all recorded in detail the taxes that the people paid each year. However, it does not correspond to the actual situation. In those pamphlets, especially in the last two years, the tax reduction and exemption of 20% of the harvest is recorded, which shows the authenticity of the tax reduction official document in the magistrate's room. There is also the tax payment situation in Shitou Village. Except for the population, the others are completely inconsistent. The tax paid by Shitou Village in the past two years is far more than the two years recorded in the pamphlet. Obviously, these pamphlets are for reporting purposes. Those who are fake, those taxes that are more than what is recorded in the booklet, obviously fell into the hands of the official here and the people under the official's hands. And the booklet about how much tax was actually collected from the people should have been hidden by themselves or ruined."

"But the possibility of destruction should not be high," Xue Yan continued, "For such a big matter, the magistrate of Diankui alone can't cover the sky here, there should be many officials involved, and even the imperial capital has officials to accept When it comes to the good, the real pamphlet is the basis for them to divide the benefits. If the magistrate of Diankui really destroys the real pamphlet, then the day will come out, and the officials above can abandon him at any time, just like he is a complete chess piece, The magistrate of Diankui and the people below should keep some of the bottom line in order to protect themselves, so that no matter if this matter breaks out or not, the people above will want to protect them."

"That's right." Jiang Yue said. "Get this booklet and put it in the warehouse. Naturally, there are other aspects. It is to prevent people from checking, but why is no one checking? Obviously, there is a larger official shelter, so that the officials here can cover the sky. Or someone has already come. I checked, but why are the magistrates of Diankui and the others all right? This is obviously because the people who came to investigate and the magistrates of Dianqi and the others are in the same group. I can be sure that there is someone on the Dianqi County magistrate who can help them suppress this matter.”

Xue Yan nodded, agreeing.

Jiang Yue continued: "Even if the Emperor Tiangao is far away, the officials are deceiving the top and the bottom, the Emperor Shi Yuan doesn't know, but it is impossible for the emperor to know what happened here. Let's not take people from other counties here as an example. Just take Dianqi County as an example, with so many people, Tao Zhen can't be the only one who thinks there may be a problem with this matter, right? And those who think there's a problem can't be like Tao Zhen, and they can't go to the imperial capital, right? "
