Of course, the other five counties will respond, but no one jumped out to say that they were responsible for the assassination, they were officials of the imperial court, and they were not terrorist organizations, so no one would hit such a gun.

The first to react was Wuyuan County. Wuyuan County is the largest county in Huizhou after She County, ranking first among the five counties in strength, and it is the hometown of Zhuzi. Wuyuan Zhixian received the document on the fifteenth day of the winter month, and sent back the letter on the 22nd, which can be called a god speed in terms of the average administrative efficiency of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that although the speed is fast, the quality is really a little out of reach. The argument of this Shen Wen, like the previous Jixi Yang Teaching, alleges that She County owed Xia Mai 9,700 stones, and was fined 8,780 horses of raw silk for summer tax, which had been transported over the years and had nothing to do with the other five counties. As for "people giving birth to silk", that is the business of the Nanjing Carrier, and it has nothing to do with the locality.

This argument is, of course, flawed and uninspiring. But there is no way, there are only a few days in total, and no matter how talented Wuyuan County Order is, it is impossible to match the evidence that Shuai Jiamo has carefully prepared for several years.

However, the county order is not a mediocre hand in the end, and in his Shen Wen, he also proposed a plan to allocate thousands of pounds: consult the Yellow Book.

The so-called Yellow Book is an important tax file of the imperial court, and the levy and service of the upper peak must be carried out according to the Yellow Book. It is first-hand and the most authoritative.

The logic of Wuyuan County is: if the records of the "Daming Huidian" and the Fuzhi are correct, then in the original records of the Yellow Book, there must be corresponding records, and the credibility of the latter is higher than that of the former. Therefore, as long as you check the Yellow Book files, you will naturally know who is right and who is wrong.

According to the regulations, several copies of the Yellow Book will be copied, which will not only be kept in the county and the prefecture, but will also be copied to the Nanjing Household Department for retention. You can say that the yellow book stored in the county and the government may be tampered with, but the bottom of the Nanjing household department cannot be tampered with by an official in your place, it is absolutely accurate, and you will know the authenticity at a check.

Wuyuan County's statement is unique and provides a new way to resolve disputes.

In addition, he also followed the example of She County and brought a group of celebrities in the county to cheer. Although the formation is not as prominent as Shexian County, there are also four high-ranking officials from Jinshi who are in the formation - this is the reason for the fierce competition in Nanbang Jinshi, this is just one Huizhou, to this extent, just two counties under its jurisdiction, can pull out so many celebrities, and all of them are alive.

Three days later, Jixi County joined the battle group again, also led by the magistrate.

With Wuyuan gaining time, Jixi County is more prepared. Qizhi County chose another rebuttal strategy and put the breakthrough on the "independent collection of raw silk".

Shuai Jiamo had a question before, saying that there are six counties in Huizhou, why is raw silk levied in She County alone? This is simply unreasonable, so it must be a loss for all six counties. He also gave many examples, such as the Changzhou government's tribute to tea, which was written in the "Huidian" as "levied in Yixing County"; Ning Guofu's attack on papaya also stated that Xuancheng County would lose it. Therefore, if the imperial court collects raw silk in She County alone, the "Huidian" will definitely be clearly written.

In response to this question, Jixi listed a large number of counterexamples: Su and Chang Du Zheng white rice; Ning and Tai are alone in herding horses; Jixi conquered the emperor alone. These are not specifically written in the "Canon". For example, the mung beans in Songjiang Mansion are only collected by Huating County, and Shanghai County does not have to take care of it; The medicinal materials of Anfu are only collected by Shanyang County, and Sui and Jiangxi counties do not need to be paid; The hemp land in Jinhua Mansion is only levied from Wuyi County, and as for silk and yarn, it is levied from Tangxi, and other counties do not have to pay. These single items are not mentioned in the "Huidian".

After listing this large pile, Jixi County Decree said that it is normal for a government to levy a class of materials in a certain county, and it is impossible for the "Huidian" to be exhaustive and written in such detail. Therefore, Shuai Jiamo's questioning is purely too little knowledge and unreasonable.

The reason is clear, but it's a pity that Jixi, as the smallest of the six counties, found that there were no living Jinshi in the county, so he had to retreat to the second best place and invited three people to sign it.

Wuyuan, Jixi and one large and one small counties took the lead. Other comrades-in-arms were not easy to lag behind, and a few days later, Xiuning and Qimen counties also responded.

In particular, Xiuning Zhixian's response was the greatest threat to Shuai Jiamo. This duke has been preparing for nearly a month, and he has made extraordinary moves, he put aside those twists and turns, and pointed the finger at the core point of She County-numbers.

The core question of Shexian or Shuai Jiamo is that the figures of the two taxes do not match.

Shexian County's "summer tax raw silk" replenishes wheat 9,700 stones, and there are only more than 4,000 horses of raw silk; However, every year, Shexian County has to pay 8,780 horses of "human silk silk". The extra 4,000 horses must have been borne by the other five counties.

Regarding this question, Xiuning Zhixian gave its own findings:

He found that in the Yisi reform system, in addition to seizing 9,700 stone owed by She County to Xia Mai, Xingzhongshu Province also re-discovered part of the abandoned mulberry garden fields in Dengying and Mingde townships under its jurisdiction, and confiscated the fields of Cheng Huixiang and Ye Zhong, two big landlords. These lands were re-measured and re-taxed.

The owe of summer wheat, the abandonment of mulberry orchard fields, and the confiscation of fields, these three items are added together, and the new taxes in She County are a total of 10,974 catties and three taels of raw silk. Every twenty-four taels of raw silk, fold one horse, so the total number is exactly 8,779 horses, which is consistent with the number of "human silk silk", so this is the tax of She County.

In the 10th year of Hongwu, the 24th year, the 10th year of Yongle, and the 18th year of Chenghua, the amount of this tax was adjusted. In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court adjusted the ratio of raw silk to silk from twenty-four taels to twenty taels, but the quota of 8,779 horses was not changed.

This is only the first move of Xiuning County, and his second move is directed at the property.

Because Shuai Jiamo had previously proposed that She County obviously does not produce silk, why should raw silk be used as a tax to fold color?

Xiuning County Commander inspected it and found that there were originally mulberry gardens in Dengying, Mingde, Renli, Yongfeng, Xiaoyi, Rolling Embroidery, and Xiaxiang townships under the jurisdiction of She County, while the other five counties never had one. Obviously, although She County does not produce silk now, it does not mean that it was not produced in the past - raw silk used to be a special product of She County.

In other words, this is a historical problem caused by the change of property, but it is still your own problem and cannot be passed on to others.

As for why the "Fu Zhi" didn't mention that there was originally a mulberry in Shexian County? Xiuning County Decree thinks it is very simple, because She County is the seat of Huizhou Mansion, and the "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles" is led by officials from She County, of course they have to mix with private goods!

Xiuning County's third move was aimed at the "Daming Huidian" that Shuai Jiamo held onto.

Why is it written in the record of "Daming Huidian" that only "Ren Ding Silk Silk" was levied in Huizhou Mansion, but not in She County? Xiuning County's explanation is very simple, just three words - unnecessary.

The canonical is recorded from the level of the political envoy, and there is no need to record it in such detail as the county. What's more, each province has its own situation, and it is ridiculous to use the example of other provinces to question its own.

Xiuning County's answer can be said to be the sharpest of the five counties' counterattacks so far. These three moves are down, fists to the flesh, and blood is seen, even if Shuai Jiamo has already arrived at the case, arguing with him face-to-face, I'm afraid it will be very tricky.

In contrast, in Qimen County, where homework was handed in on the same day, Shen Wen wrote meaninglessly, nothing more than clichés and crying poverty. However, there is no way, because the Qimen magistrate is just vacant, and Shen Wen is answered by the county Cheng, who is an old man, and it is still not as good as the level of the Jinshi master.

The front is already in front, and the magistrate of Yixian County is much more relaxed. In Shen Wen, he absentmindedly repeated the opinions of the previous magistrates, and then said a slightly cute cool sentence: "She County is so big, even if the silk tax is reduced, it is just a boat removed from the river; Our Yixian County is so poor now that we only need to take off our pants, and even if we pay even a little tax, it will be the same as eating aconitum for a long time, and we will die on the spot! ”

As soon as Gao Pragmatic told Shuai Jiamo about these situations, Shuai Jiamo became anxious.

He first thanked Gao Pragmatic for taking care of him along the way, and then asked to go south to Huizhou in advance to have a good debate with the five counties.
