Chapter 247: Undercurrent (II)

[Regarding Xingzhao's psychology, I thought about it for a long time after I finished it yesterday, Xingzhao didn't let Min Jirou be patient or blindly tolerant, let alone accuse Min Jirou. Based on the antecedents of her failure to enlighten Fang Fu, her explanation of Min Jirou was to hope that she would let go of her obsession and that there was no need to go around herself into a dead circle. A moment of disappointment, I feel that this is also true, Xingzhao is not the Virgin, Xingzhao has blood on his hands, so he strangely sees Min Jirou as the self who has not yet been stained with blood, but she, Fang Fu and Queen Fang are or have lost their way and self in love and hate, Xingzhao hopes that Min Jirou can be good to herself, which is a kind of empathy and a kind of sustenance and self-projection. And according to Min Jirou's heart, Min Jirou's heart is definitely tormented and painful when she sets up this game. Holding Min Jirou's hand, and finally hugging Min Jirou back when he left, and finally didn't even want to give something to Sister Ting'er to save face, all of which said that Xingzhao was actually supporting Min Jirou. Human nature, conscience and love, A-Yuan set a trap for himself, and also made a circle for himself, in fact, this is also the point where Xingzhao is entangled. Yesterday's chapter, I was in a bit of a hurry, some psychology and words were not carefully considered, and the mentality was not thorough enough, so after today's chapter is finished, A-Yuan will make a little modification, which has nothing to do with the main plot, but it is uncomfortable not to change. Okay, now go back to the main line~]

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast, and all commercial taxes are taken from thirty and one, and the purchase price is set to be more than forty taels, and the rule of one and a half cents of silver for every tael of tax.

The land south of the Yangtze River is fertile and fertile, and the merchants trade smoothly, extending in all directions, and there are both official roads for land travel and canals for water flow. Fishing and farming are all readable. At the same time, whether intercommunication is prevalent or not. There are many squires and handsome, the prosperity of Jiangnan is the prosperity of silver money and soil, and the glory of Dingjing is the sediment of the imperial city and the monarchy.

In such a rich place, every time the tax and silver and the documents reported are "beyond their means", today by the flood disaster, tomorrow by the famine year, ask the imperial court to allocate silver money to fill the disaster relief materials.

"Do you know how much disaster relief materials the imperial court has to allocate to Jiangnan every year?"

The sixth prince asked Xingzhao.

Xingzhao shook his head.

The six princes compared a number in their hands. Xingzhao frowned and asked, "Thirty thousand taels of silver?" The sixth prince shook his head, Xingzhao's eyebrows frowned deeper and deeper, and then asked: "Three hundred thousand taels?" ”

The Sixth Prince shook his head again.

Xingzhao remembered that the six princes had mentioned to her that the annual tax and silver income of the Great Zhou was nearly 30 million taels of silver a year, and the battle with the Tatars a few years ago was almost empty, and Li Lingqing was in charge of the household department at that time, as long as someone asked the household department for money, Li Lingqing would always shake his head with a straight neck. "No money! If you don't have money, you need to die! ”

Money, money, money. The lifeblood of the people and the eyes of the emperor are like the ass of a tiger, which cannot be touched at all.

Unless the Jiangnan officialdom was kicked by a donkey, it would not dare to open its mouth and take more money from the emperor's pocket.

Xingzhao frowned and looked at the six princes, who chuckled lightly before replying, "Three thousand taels of silver." ”

Xingzhao instantly understood, what can three thousand taels of silver do? The silver money in and out of Lin'anhou Mansion is almost 2,000 a year, and the Jiangnan officialdom takes one and a half of Lin'anhou Mansion's silver money to control the water, to resettle the victims, to dredge the river, and to make some achievements in the huge land in the south of the Yangtze River?

How is that possible?

"Looking for the central government to ask for some silver, it's just that Jiangnan is showing his attitude to the emperor - we don't have much silver taels here, don't you see that we are still begging for the imperial court to allocate funds" Xingzhao raised his head and asked the sixth prince, "How much tax and silver does Jiangnan pay to the imperial court every year?" ”

"Two million taels of silver, in the account books of such ten years, there are hardly more than two million and three hundred thousand. When I looked through the account book, I found that if Jiangnan had not asked the imperial court for appropriation, the tax and silver paid would have been about 2 million vehicles, and if the money had been allocated, the tax and silver paid would have been more than 100,000 taels. ”

The sixth prince said concisely.

Xingzhao was a little stunned when he heard this, what is this? Jiangnan is a rich land, and it only pays more than 2 million taels of tax and silver a year? And what about the rest of the money?

Thinking in his heart, Xingzhao asked.

"The rest of the money? The governor said that he had subsidized the disaster relief and maintained the river channel, and he could take out the account book, and I had done a good job of doing most of the accounts in the past ten years, and all of them had been implemented - buying stones, the labor to widen the river, buying sediment, running schools, and then contacting the outside of Jiangnan Mansion, but I knew that Jiangnan officialdom had done nothing, and the remaining white flowers and silver were passed layer by layer, and then peeled off layer by layer, and a huge officialdom was like a sieve, and there was nothing left if there was a leak here. ”

The six princes raised the teacup, took a sip, and said very lightly, but the feasible Zhao's eyes fell on the man's bones, and he held the teacup tightly in his hand, and then listened to the words of the six princes.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. When Li Lingqing and I went to meddle in the affairs of Jiangnan, there were people in Jiangnan officialdom who dared to play behind their backs to assassinate, who knew that they had done it, which attracted the attention of the imperial court. If the river embankment is not repaired well, the finances, houses and even their own lives of the people on the banks will be threatened at the turn of summer and autumn. I held the driftwood and soaked in the river for three or two days, and the shock brought by the desolate scenery in front of me was far more violent than the cold of my body immersed in the river water. If I couldn't survive at that time, could it be that the floating beam painting wall of Jiangnan officialdom, which is like a rotten wood carving, could finally be uprooted by the emperor's anger? ”

Serious people are the most beautiful, and serious men are even more so.

This is the first time Xingzhao has heard the six princes look back on that time of life and death.

A thought suddenly flashed in Xingzhao's mind, the matter of Jiangnan officialdom had become a sinking problem, why did he suddenly enter the sight of the six princes at this time and attract his attention? Is it a coincidence or artificial? If it is man-made, what is the intention?

"How did you get those books?"

Xingzhao asked softly.

The sixth prince was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It was turned out by a small man from the household department." I flipped two pages and felt that something was wrong. Take the account book and go to Li Lingqing. Li Lingqing sighed and didn't say that he wanted to take care of it, and he didn't say anything, he just asked me to put down the account book."

When the sixth prince said the back, his words slowly became shallow.

It's wrong, if you don't open it sooner or later, you won't open it sooner or later, but at this time, the account books of Jiangnan Nian will be sent to his eyes

The heart of the sixth prince sank, and the person who came was sure that he would not stand idly by, but chose to continue to investigate!

The six princes and the Jiangnan officialdom are purely new and old hatreds, and they almost lost their lives in Huangquan's hatred. Coupled with the personality of the sixth prince who is upright, and can't rub sand in his eyes, does he want to pick the contradiction between the sixth prince and the Jiangnan officialdom deeper and deeper? The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

Since he came back from the Yuwang Mansion that day, Xingzhao has been very wilted, and he never mentioned it in front of the six princes, stuffy in his heart, the more stuffy he is, the more like a piece of Chen Tie Weighing Hanging on the tip of his heart. It's not so boring.

"Li Lingqing is for your good."

Li Lingqing asked the six princes to let go, although his attitude towards the matter was already cowardly and compromised. But in my heart, it is indeed for the good of the six princes.

Xingzhao then asked the sixth child, "Do you want to continue to meddle?" ”

The sixth prince was expressionless for a moment, and when he raised his head again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes." ”

Xingzhao also showed his face, looked at him and smiled.

The expected decision, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, prefers to go to the tiger mountain, since he has the account book in his hand and has seen the hardships in his eyes, it is impossible for the six princes to stand by and watch, and he is so stubborn that people are a little convinced and a little hard for him.

"There is a big flood in the south of the Yangtze River every year, and the wood soaked under the houses on the bank of the river is all soaked and swollen, and the wood is soaked under the water, which is soft and easy to be brittle, but the villagers can only live in such houses, because they have no place to change houses because of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The mansions in the city are very well repaired, with carved beams and painted walls, stone lions and pixiu, which are completely two worlds. ”

The sixth prince was aroused to confide**, and he said a little melancholy.

"If you don't renovate it for a year, the people will suffer for an extra year. Since someone has sent the account book to me, if I don't move, I'm afraid that person's city will still have a back hand. The six princes counted the days, "It's mid-spring now, and then midsummer, there are not many days left, at most wait another year, at most." ”

This is directly calculated on Chen Xian's head.

Xingzhao felt that Chen Xian was used to being a civil servant all his life, thinking about problems and doing things around, going around and around, but instead he went around into the eighteen bends of the mountain road?

What should I do if I change it to Fang Qi?

The white knife is in, the red knife is out, the sixth child is solved, and the second child is directly on the throne.

Where is it necessary to spend so much trouble?

Xing Zhao just thought about it for not many days, and he didn't know if Chen Xian was perceived, or if he had a plan, Xing Zhao's dream came true.

More deeply exposed, Xingzhao sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed in a silk robe and read a book, someone knocked on the window panel outside, Xingzhao can't do everything with two minds, he didn't hear it in casual clothes after his ears, but he was concentrating on transcribing the book The sixth heard it, first let people in, and then poked Xingzhao with a wolf pen, and whispered: "Others have two ears to listen to the sound and be obedient, and our ears are purely ornamental." ”

Xingzhao's eyes were horizontal, and the six princes immediately sat up straight.

As soon as the sixth prince sat up straight, Lianyu came in from outside, blessed, and her complexion was very calm: "The girl asked her to stare at the kitchen Aunt Yan, and the comprador who was in charge of buying the abalone ginseng wings have all moved recently. Yesterday, it happened that the servants in the palace were on holiday, and some people came to look for Aunt Yan, and some people came to look for compradors. The little maid who was in charge of staring at Aunt Yan said that Aunt Yan came in with a bag stuffed in her hand, and the comprador acted in a low-key manner, and was stunned that she didn't see the clues. ”

Xingzhao raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the six princes.

The sixth prince nodded, as if he knew, and Lianyu retreated.

The sixth didn't speak, and Xingzhao put the book on his lap and looked at him quietly - but don't disturb your own man's thinking, and waited for a long time, until Xingzhao's arms were sore, before waiting for the sixth prince to say a word.

"How about you say that you will match Lianyu to that Mao Baihu next to your brother?"

Xingzhao only hated that he didn't have tea in his mouth, otherwise he would be squirted with a dignified face! (To be continued......)

ps: Desperately want to code two chapters, but the scum is true. Tomorrow, A-Yuan must be violent!
