Chapter 389 (1/2)
It's night. Wangjiang building, the largest restaurant in Yiling City, is brightly lit and full of friends. There are all polite voices upstairs and downstairs.
The whole restaurant was wrapped up.
In the most luxurious box, Liu muduan, the governor of Yiling Prefecture, sat in the first place, and was almost praised by more than a dozen gentry who accompanied him. All the gentry who could come to this box were the respected masters of Yiling.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the people looked at each other. One of them, a member surnamed Xu, over half a hundred, took out a gift list from his sleeve.
”Zhizhou adult, this is a little of our intention. I hope adults don't refuse!”
”Hehe, you are so polite.” Liu Mu smiled and took the gift list. He just looked at it and returned it. However, he was secretly surprised that these people were generous, with a full ten thousand liang of silver.
”I appreciate your kindness, but the State Council of the Qin Dynasty stipulates that officials and yamen at all levels are not allowed to collect money from the people and businesses under any pretext, so don't hurt me.”
It is absolutely false to say that he is not excited, but Liu Mu is not drunk and his mind is clear. He knows that once the money is collected, it is light to lose his official position and go to jail.
Because next he will clean up the land, shops and people and start collecting taxes. If he collects their silver now, he will be short handed and soft lipped.
And those women will check carefully after personnel, so as long as there are mistakes, they will definitely be found out, and he will be finished.
Now the great Qin state is booming. He is only in his early 40s this year. As long as he performs well in the future, the governor of the prefecture is determined, and it is not impossible for the minister to wait for him. Therefore, it is not worth delaying his future or even taking a small life for this money.
They didn't expect that Liu Mu would refuse so simply. They also said that they should not collect any money under any pretext, which means that even if they donate the silver to the yamen, the other party won't want it.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.
Everyone's heart was raised. They didn't want to drink or eat meat at all. They guessed one after another. This man surnamed Liu refused to accept silver. What do you want?
Should they give their land to those mud legs like Xiangyang? Even the family property should be divided, and the wife and daughter should
At the thought of this, more than a dozen gentry were sweating on their foreheads.
Liu Mu seemed to see what was in everyone's mind and comforted with a smile: ”you don't have to worry. You can take the initiative to submit to the state of Qin. In the future, you will be the people of the state of Qin. Both your own and your family's safety and property will be protected by the law of Qin.
However, just as the so-called new atmosphere of the new dynasty, the previous land deeds, land deeds, personal deeds and ious will be invalid. They must be reissued by the Yamen and stamped with the relevant seal before counting. When you go back, you just need to replace the old contract with the new contract.
Of course, the IOU and the deed of sale can only be issued with the consent of both parties, otherwise it will be deemed invalid. In addition, the state government will check the land within one month. If the new contract cannot be obtained at that time, both the real estate and the land will be owned by the state government as ownerless things. ”
After hearing this, they all looked dignified and secretly frightened. They all had contracts. In addition to the IOU and the deed of sale, there was some trouble. It was nothing to go to the Yamen to replace the land lease and the house lease. But they doubted whether the Yamen would deliberately delay and confiscate their land under this excuse.
”You may rest assured that the replacement of the contract will be implemented tomorrow. I will personally supervise it. Whoever dares to delay and create difficulties will be brought to justice.”
Liu Mu slapped the table with a straight face.
Seeing that he was not a fraud, they dispelled many doubts and decided to have a try tomorrow.
As for tax collection and fixed rent, Liu Mu was not in a hurry to say that although he had never been an official, he also knew that everything should be done step by step.
