Because beside being a scientist he was a 'tax farmer'. Collecting taxes is never easy but it was particularly difficult in the pre-modern age and one solution was for the state to assess the potential tax take from a region and 'sell' a contract for collection at a large discount to the highest bidder. So for example, estimated revenue $1m is sold to a tax farmer for $0.5m. So the closer the tax farmer can collect up to $1m, then the more he makes in profit. Naturally, tax farmers and their agents used some 'sturdy' methods in collecting and this made them particularly unpopular.
