As for how this official seal was obtained, it has to be said that Yang Shiqi, he took leave three months ago to deal with funeral matters, and his aunt died.

Yang Shiqi's father died when he was a child, his mother took him to remarry to the Luo family, the stepfather of the Luo family was not bad to him, but he died a few years later, since then Yang Shiqi got out of the Luo family and wandered alone with his mother, but his mother did not survive for a few years, only one cousin was very good to him, and often sent letters and clothes to him, this cousin has no son, and the cousin's relatives are thin and uninheritable, so he proposed to pass him to his head, but Yang Shiqi refused, he could not be the son of the third surname.

Yang Shiqi also changed his surname to Luo, and later there was a Luo family to worship the ancestors, the young Yang Shiqi made a clay statue to worship the ancestors of the Yang family, and was discovered by his stepfather and praised his ambition, so he restored his family name, if he succeeded to his cousin, it was the son of the three surnames, which is not a good reputation.

But his aunt died at the beginning of this year, Yang Shiqi got the news, or set off for his aunt's funeral, although he is not a parent, but he is also a son and nephew, a nephew, he goes to serve a basin, so as to avoid his aunt from being ridiculed behind him, after all, it is very embarrassing and unaffordable to have a son to send his head at this time.

Yang Shiqi went to Shandong, and his official seal, inscription, and other things were all placed in the Wenhua Palace-because the Wenhua Palace was relatively strict, and it was a special place for the prince to read, and ordinary eunuchs and even ordinary officials could not easily enter, so Yang Shiqi put his official seal here for security reasons. He had to flee because he lost his school seal back then, and now he is much more meticulous than others in this matter.

But this happened to be convenient for Zhang Zhaohua to take out the official seal, she paid a private visit, did not call a few people to accompany her, and was also afraid of Ji Gang's ears and eyes to reconnoitre, so she only had Han Dong and the eunuch Lu Fang by her side, as well as Jiang Tingqi and his wife who were going to Shandong to visit relatives. She wanted to take Zhang Qi and Zhang Chang's seal, but it was all the seal of Jingwei or Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei could not be alarmed, and Jingwei was out of the capital, so it would be difficult to do it. Therefore, Yang Shiqi's official seal is used in officialdom.

As for the imperial history Gao Wei, Zhang Zhaohua heard his name from Chen Ying's mouth, in fact, he is a very outspoken person, and he has also contradicted Chen Ying many times in the Imperial Procuratorate, although Chen Ying is mean, he cherishes his talent, and puts him outside to do the provincial highway supervision of the imperial history, this time Gao Wei was also transferred from Hubei to Henan, and he happened to be hanging around in Zhoujiakou Town, so Zhang Zhaohua had a chance.

"Noble, noble," Zhao Laohan's mother-in-law called out cautiously: "Eat meat, eat meat." ”

Zhang Zhaohua sandwiched a chopsticks of pork hind leg meat, this meat was not cooked cleanly, and there was a fine hair on it, but she still sent it to her mouth and said, "It tastes good." ”

The hind leg meat was bought by Zhang Zhaohua, a pig's trotter was bought, and the whole village stretched their necks to look, Zhang Zhaohua saw that they were really pitiful, so he simply bought a whole pig and let them cook, and now it makes the village look like the New Year, and just blasted away a group of people who came to thank him.

Zhang Zhaohua ate absent-mindedly, and there was a question that had been haunting her mind, that is, where did the children who were bought by the grain chief go? When did the grain chief actually take over the work of the traffickers?

can propose to use the child to make up for the shortage of summer tax and autumn grain, this grain chief himself deserves death, and he is still a governor of the state, a person from the government-

However, Gao Wei did not have the power to dispose of any official at will, he could only participate in these people, and then send them to Nanjing, and get Gao Chi's approval, so that these people who did evil could be wiped out. It is impossible for her to rush directly into the Zhizhou Yamen and ask about these things.

“…… The lieutenant didn't dare to force us this time," Zhao Guangsheng was actually still relieved: "If he is going to force us next time?"

"That's impossible, this case was reported by Gao Wei and Master Gao," Zhang Zhaohua comforted: "Then from Zhizhou to Zhixian to Lijia, you must be held accountable, and the lieutenant should be replaced!"

"Substitution, substitution also has to call for the payment of grain," Zhao Laohan said: "You also have to lie about the amount, the big bucket goes in and the small bucket goes out, there is so much land in our county, there are 50 hectares of land that do not pay grain, and how much tax can only be spread evenly on us." ”

"Why don't you pay taxes on 50 hectares of land?" Zhang Zhaohua said.

"In the east of our county, the best field is from the Zhou Wangfu," Zhao Laohan said: "They have encircled so many fields, and they don't pay taxes, so the governor will increase taxes on us." ”

Each county levied taxes according to the fish scale atlas, but the Zhou Wangfu occupied good land, did not pay taxes in a grand manner, and even hid thousands of acres of cultivated land from the tax list. The grain chief did not dare to collect the tax, so he could only distribute the land endowment evenly to the small people in this county, and the people of this county became the actual payers of the heavy endowment. Like countless officials in Henan, he had long colluded with the Zhou Wangfu to cheat and transfer the burden to the landless and landless poor grain households, increasing the burden on the small people.

Small households have to pay the taxes of large households, and the people have to bear the taxes on their heads, and they also have to bear the taxes of the Zhou Wangfu, and even have to bear the bonus of the grain chief and the li chief.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't have a good impression of Zhou Wangfu, and Zhao Laohan's words evoked bad memories for her, which made her angry. I thought that King Zhou was interested in herbal medicine, the eldest son of King Zhou was gentle and polite, and the second son Youjia had been exiled to Yunnan, which was already quite obedient and peaceful among the vassal kings, but I didn't expect that in a small Shangshui county alone, it would occupy fifty hectares of land, and Shangshui County was small, and the total number of people's fields was only 270 hectares-

"Does the Zhou Wangfu have land in other counties?" Zhang Zhaohua said, "And they don't pay taxes?"

Got a positive answer, the Zhou Wangfu in the rest of the counties, there are large or small land, and their method of enclosing land is particularly resentful, saying that every year the Yellow River bursts, the flooded land is silt, silt is the first-class land, is quite good land, the people of the Zhou Wangfu come every year to find such a good land, no matter whose land he is, they all occupy it, and they do not pay taxes.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangsheng said: "Don't say that the Zhou Wangfu will occupy all the good fields around Kaifeng, and the good fields that belong to Dezhou will not be taken away by Zhang Niangniang's family?"

Zhang Zhaohua's face changed greatly, and her chopsticks almost fell to the ground: "Which Zhang Niangniang, are you talking about the crown princess?"

"Then which Zhang Niangniang, there is a noble person in that place in Yongcheng," Zhao Laohan's son wiped the fat on his mouth and said: "Don't talk about Yongcheng, how many fields are in the six counties of Dezhou, they belong to his family, and they don't pay taxes." Zhou Wangfu also let her family, and he didn't dare to rob her family. ”

Zhang Zhaohua was angry and sad, her father was not used to living in Nanjing, and he went to his hometown and Beiping more than a year, and she knew that there was land in Beiping, which was given by the emperor, but when did her hometown know when, there was so much more land, and they all did not pay taxes, which made Zhang Zhaohua unacceptable. She really can't imagine that her family has become a powerful family comparable to Zhou Wangfu, which makes people smell and harm the people, and she doesn't know how many people, like herself at the beginning, are running around for survival, but there is no way out.
