1863 Happy Event

In mid-April, a funeral was held in Jieqiao Village.

Although Yan Song's house had been raided, and some clansmen had also been affected, when they learned that he had died in the Broken Mountain Temple, the Yan clansmen still brought his body back.

The straw mat is wrapped in the mourning hall, but the corpse in April is easy to rot and stink, and there is no hanger in this mourning hall, which is very desolate, and it is not as good as the funeral of ordinary people.

It is indeed embarrassing that the Ming Yipin, who should have been buried in the scenery, turned out to be in such a miserable field.

Although Yan Song is greedy, he is also loyal. Jiajing was a wise emperor and a suspicious emperor, if Yan Song was not loyal enough to him, it would be impossible to reuse Yan Song for twenty years.

If the southeast widows can be effectively resolved, the first contributor should naturally be Hu Zongxian, but Yan Song should actually have some merit in this matter.

From the current political ecology, it can be seen that Hu Zongxian, a small governor of Zhejiang, cannot tax the entire southeast, including the Xu family. It was precisely with Yan Song's support that Hu Zongxian had the confidence to forcibly levy from the largest landlord, Xu Jie, so as to raise enough military salaries to fight against the Japanese and solve the problem of the Japanese from point to point.

It is inevitable that there will be deviations in the process of operation, and the government has always been accustomed to being afraid of the strong and bullying the weak, and many people in the southeast have been forced to leave their homes, which is also to blame for the "bad government" of Yan Song and Hu Zongxian.

Yan Song not only connived at Yan Shifan's greed for a lot www.23txt.xyz of money, but also had many problems in the process of ruling the country, and the biggest mistake was to increase taxes and build civil engineering projects in order to win Jiajing's favor.

The financial corruption of the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly appeared that miscellaneous taxes are heavier than regular taxes, and more and more bankrupt people have become bandits, which has also laid the biggest bane for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

He is loyal to the country in his life, and he is right and wrong when he dies. Yan Song is undoubtedly loyal to Jiajing, but even if his ruling is not zero, it is also in the ranks of differences.

Yuanzhou Mansion is located in the southwest of Jiangxi, with Yichun County as the seat of government.

Yuan Jing, the second son of Situ Yuan An of the Eastern Han Dynasty, lived in seclusion here and became a well-known hermit at that time. After Yuan Jing's death, people remembered his high wind and brightness and called the place where he lived Yuan Mountain.

In the eleventh year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Yuanzhou was placed in Yiyang County, and it is rumored that the "Yuan" of Yuanzhou was influenced by Yuan Shan.

The circumference of Yuanzhou City is ten miles long, as high as two feet? Open four doors? The four gates are placed on the city tower, and the urn city and the arrow tower are built outside? It was repaired once during the reign of Yan Song.

Although the local economy is not significant? But this city was built very solidly, and the imperial court set up the Yuanzhou military garrison yamen here? It is also for the Han nationality to assimilate the Tu people and make outstanding contributions.

It's a tradition that officials don't repair the government, but the current prefect Li Yinshi not only repaired it? And the repair is very magnificent? In particular, a large pond was built in the back house, and the spring water in the center of the pond gushed endlessly.

Yichun County is named because of the many springs, not only has the Li Canal that runs through the east and west of Yuanzhou Mansion for thousands of years, but also the springs are all over the city? It is most famous for Lingquan, Zhuquan and Fuhui Shengquan.

Although it is far from Gangnam? But it is showing the softness of the water, there are springs and there are two lakes in the east and west, the water is as clear as a mirror, the spring water is warm in spring and cool in summer, so it is said: bright and charming like spring? Pleasant to drink.

A fat middle-aged man sits by the pond fishing, and the summer wind blows the calm water into the wrinkles? There were also a few carp that shook their wake not far away.

With the start of the rod, a crucian carp is thrown up by the fishing line? The fish's eyes were full of despair.

Next to the obese middle-aged man, is sitting a woman in a green building with heavy makeup? Seeing this, he applauded happily and said, "Master? You're amazing! ”

"Haha...... Is the master powerful? You'll find out at night! Li Yinshi held the fishing rod and turned his head to look at the seventh concubine who had just been accepted and said with a smile.

The butler, who was helping to remove the crucian carp from the fishing, rolled his eyes, this pond sold so many fish that he was greedy, and it would be hell if he couldn't catch it.

As for the so-called powerful, I am afraid that there is only one color heart, otherwise there will be no great tonic every day, and those concubines will not do anything about red apricots going out of the wall.

"Dong Weng, the collected silver has been melted into silver ingots, and it has been put into the treasury to make a book!" The master had just returned from his errands, and walked over with the account book in his hand.

Li Yinshi took the account book and glanced at the master lightly, and the master immediately showed a meaningful smile and said: "Dong Weng, rest assured, this time it is one point lower than the expected loss!" ”

In the process of collecting grain, local officials often levy more "wear and tear", and this grain usually goes into the pockets of officials, which is a hidden benefit for some officials responsible for collecting grain.

It's just that the most lucrative and secretive thing is actually this fire that consumes silver.

Because the miscellaneous taxes paid by the people are levied on broken silver, and the money handed over to the imperial court is to be melted into large silver ingots, many impurities appear in the process of melting, which is commonly known as "fire consumption".

In the same way, in the process of collecting silver tax, the government will also levy more "fire consumption silver" from the people, so that they can finance enough silver ingots to hand over to the imperial court.

If it is an official like Hai Rui, the actual loss will be levied on the people as much as the amount of fire and silver. However, the impurities of silver vary from place to place, and the most important thing is that the conscience of the officials is not the same, so the local officials will inflate the amount of silver consumed by fire, so as to put the excess silver consumed by fire into their own pockets.

At present, the miscellaneous taxes of the Ming Dynasty have increased sharply, and even the miscellaneous taxes in many places are higher than the regular taxes.

Li Yinshi was able to obtain the seventh concubine room, and it was far from enough to rely on the little money of the imperial court, but to rely on this relatively obscure fire to consume silver, so as to live a comfortable life as a groom every day.

However, he still doesn't like this Yuanzhou Mansion in his heart, compared with those big mansions in the southeast that often pay tens of thousands of taels of miscellaneous taxes, the oil and water here are too different.

Just as Li Yinshi handed the account book back to his master, an errand officer hurriedly walked over and respectfully presented a letter to Li Yinshi.

Li Yinshi saw that it was a letter sent by Fenyi Zhi County, and opened the letter in confusion, and after reading the content of the letter, he said a little dazedly: "Hey, Yan Song actually died in a broken temple!" ”

The master was about to leave with the ledger in his hand, and when he heard the news, he asked in surprise, "Yan Song is really dead?" ”

"This is the news from Li Zhixian in Fenyi, he doesn't have the courage to deceive me, and there is no reason to lie to me!" Li Yinshi put down the letter gently, looking serious.

The master immediately smiled, and arched his hand at Li Yinshi: "Hehe...... Congratulations! ”
