Chapter 244: Li Jiantai's sorrow
In Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Li Jiantai can be regarded as having departed from low-level interests, and the confidence of people's money is there, and the things he pursues are not so mundane.
There are almost no traditional Confucian scholars who like to work hard and be promoted, and the last one who did so, Hai Rui, was actually ostracized very terriblely, and all of them went through the path of other people's lives in a few years because of some poems, adventures, or something.
If a soul wears Xiaobai with a bunch of poems and texts and wants to go to some restaurant, club, or official house to ask for support at the door, then he will find that it is difficult to sit in a row with him with the same idea.
Li Jiantai was haunted by his dreams, and he also thought that he would meet Mingzhu one day and return to the throne of a scholar at once, the so-called one-day scholar, a lifetime scholar, Li Jiantai even went out to play the sign with the words "scholar" written on it, and also spent some money to give a few talents who died reading and reading dead books, and spread the words that some new elders in the imperial capital did not know how to use people, and the dignified scholars were cast idle.
Unfortunately, the elders had no one to take care of.
Just kidding, everyone has come alive from the Internet era, what propaganda methods have you never seen? is obviously an ugly daughter with a broken skull after plastic surgery, but she is launching a navy to boast of some peerless beauty, obviously she has a dull expression and only stares, and she boasts of what kind of acting skills are explosive......
The elders themselves have a character evaluation system, one looks at their historical status, the second is their performance in front of the elders, and the third is to see that there are beautiful daughters in their families...... Ahem, there are absolutely valuable people here, such as Li Dingguo, who is in Sichuan and doesn't know what to do, and Comrade Newton who is learning to walk in England and so on.
This Comrade Li Jiantai is too unimportant.
"Elder, this is the local government affairs this year, thanks to the good leadership of the elders, this year the wind and rain are smooth, and it is very peaceful."
"Well, I got it."
"At the beginning, the elder said that it would be exempted from taxation for three years, and I think the time is almost up, so it is time to distribute the taxes according to the fields."
You don't know how tasteless Li Jiantai's prefect is.
He has been doing idle duties without oil and water such as Guozijian all his life, and the advantage is that he has avoided countless bloody and bloody winds, and he can also mix food with his family wealth, but now he is sitting on a mountain of empty food.
And there is really little that this prefect can do.
After the tax exemption, the imperial capital paid the salary according to the time.
There will be random checks on all kinds of fund accounts, and it is not a form of some acquaintances like my Daming, but a small-bellied chicken intestine, and even twenty taels have to be inquired, and in just a few months, several small officials have been killed.
And the biggest input, tax collection, but also because of tax exemption, and can not be oiled, if the southern provinces, can still rely on the high emperor Yuan, continue to collect what Liao, the so-called Tianfu money to the imperial capital, then the sad geographical location of Baoding, can be said to be a firecracker sound in the imperial capital, and it can be heard clearly.
If there is anyone who is most active in collecting taxes under the rule of the elders, it is him.
"Tax matters, be cautious, don't collect agricultural taxes, those inconspicuous small shops are also temporarily slowed down, anyway, the imperial capital is not short of money."
Li Jiantai's face was extremely bad.
Since he doesn't have to pay taxes, he can be said to have no authority at all, although the filial piety of the rich families does not dare to break off, but how can it be enough.
Now that all the fields in Shanxi are gone, they are counting on making money, and compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Confucian scholars shouted for the emperor to be exempt from taxes, and asked the emperor to take out gold and silver to supply them for corruption, and now the Chinese country of the elders is really tax-free, but it has also cut off the income of countless people.
Li Guotao naturally knows that this is to count the household registration, and he is already dancing happily in his heart, is this the next step to collect taxes? He is going to send some ruthless people to the counties and villages to collect a special meal, before seeing those poor sticks make a fortune, if he doesn't put his dignified prefect in his eyes, he will be angry, the poor ghost should be poor, should be looted, the money should be given to a well-educated person like him, didn't you say, there is a golden house in the book.
"You don't have to collect taxes, you just notify the following, I'm going to do research, at this time, I still have to recuperate and give the people a chance to take a breath."
"Elder, you don't know, those Diao people are all ignorant people, I'm afraid that they are about to collide with you, why don't I transfer some ......"
"I don't understand this, this common people have been educating you Confucian students for thousands of years, or a group of illiterate people and ignorant people who don't understand anything, so what are you teaching?"
"The lower officials are incompetent, but I have no one here and no money, so it is difficult to ......"
"Okay, I didn't expect you to do anything, just sit there and be an ornament."
After eating a working meal, Zhou Zhiwei dropped such a sentence, for this kind of old-style bureaucracy, none of the elders have a good impression.
There is a game that has an accurate description of the Ming Dynasty, and the gentry are preferential.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty topped the earth with population and wealth, and it can be said that if no one pulls it, it will almost be against the sky, so the developers of the game came up with a peerless debuff, which directly played the Mandate of Heaven into a street fight.
With the preferential treatment of the gentry, the cost of construction was doubled, the wealth of the country was halved, the size of the army, and the income from trade was halved, so to speak, a super debuff, the core idea of which was that anything beneficial was halved, and any expenses were more than doubled.
Later generations described this debuff as hitting the nail on the head.
At least in the Ming Dynasty, the Confucian scholars have completely regarded the Four Books and Five Classics as a stepping stone, and after being admitted to the examination, some people came to help tear down the porch house to show that they are no longer ordinary people, and their mentality has also changed greatly.
Of course, not a good change.
Zhou Zhiwei's unintentional words did make waves in Li Jiantai's heart.
Yes, these elders, they don't expect him to do anything at all.
Li Jiantai originally dreamed that he would make a random Chen, and after the above was adopted, the Ming Dynasty would be omnipotent and invincible in the world, so he could take the opportunity to be promoted to become rich and leave his name in history.
But all kinds of things, Li Jiantai is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
In the previous case of the prince of Yanshenggong, Li Jiantai was originally standing on the side of the prince of Yansheng, and asked the elders to execute a certain prince of the country as soon as possible, and at the same time to promote the tradition of respecting Confucius and Confucianism, and by the way, it is natural to respect their Confucianism, don't forget, Li Jiantai is a well-known Guozi priest wine, although it belongs to the defeated dog of the defeated dogs, but after Chongzhen was disappointed in the civil officials, he kept killing and killing, and actually put such a defeated dog up and became a scholar!
The prisoners who were able to run away in the Guozijian before had already run away, but at this time, they were all active.
Of course, his book, which is 10,000 words long, can be regarded as a pearl secret investment, and it is estimated that it was thrown directly into the pit.
And afterwards, Li Jiantai found that all the suggestions demanded by Confucianism to severely punish the prince of Chengguo were shelved, and a case of wounding, at most, an attempted murder case, became a mutual assault between the two families, and the Chengguo Mansion with the convenience of the geographical advantage, and the Yansheng Mansion with the convenience of people and the liveliness of the killing, it can be said that both sides have their own plans, wonderful plots, even if some people want to reconcile, they are also guided by some behind-the-scenes gangsters to have to fight fiercely.
In the end, although Cheng Guogong saw that the prince was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, he managed to keep his eldest son, but the old foundation of the Yanshenggong family was also removed, and of course it was deliberately bad.
Of course, the Confucian scholars are not stupid, and when they found the black material of the Youyan Shenggong Mansion, they all tacitly covered it up.
But after a hole was opened, a nationwide excrement campaign began.
Lace news is definitely the favorite of the common people, and there are almost few landlords and wealthy Confucian students who maintain discipline, so it is natural to dig up as much black material as possible.
This trend has gradually begun to spread outward from the world of public opinion, and the first to bear the brunt is actually the cultural aspect that Confucianism is proud of.
Relying on the control of the printing press, the elders almost swept the book market in the north, and relied on various as entry points, and sold well.
But the most important thing is that for all kinds of Confucian classics, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Mongolian classics, the elders are surprisingly unanimous and do not sell them!
Those crash course students also practiced in the grassroots government offices in various places and conducted training at the same time, and later, the new imperial examination was brought into the mainstream.
Li Jiantai recalled Zhou Zhiwei's disdainful eyes, and didn't know what to think in his heart, he looked back on the past two years, as the prefect, it seemed that he really didn't do anything.
Of course, this is also the reason that Confucian scholars often propagate with the emperor, and the idea is that the emperor is a puppet who knows nothing in the palace, and if there is something, you can blame the people for the bad weather and blame the emperor for giving an edict, as for their own problems, their only mistake is that there is no mistake!
Feeling defeated, Li Jiantai did not go back to the house with great fanfare, he drank some wine before, so he turned around and went to the backyard, but he walked on the sidewalk, but he heard different voices.
"Hehe, I didn't expect your meat to be getting smoother and tenderer."
"You still need to say it."
"What are you waiting for, let's quickly pack up our good things, let's leave as soon as we can."
"Aren't I in a hurry, the old thing's family is very poor, wrapped in so many things, drinking the northwest wind, what are you doing now, it's not expensive to even buy a maid."
"The dignified prefect is also so aggrieved."
"You don't look at what kind of prefect it is, it's really nothing, it's unlucky to die with him, I still want to show off something to my former sisters, I used to have a sister in the hall, and I was a new person in the city, and I was in charge of a small military general with hundreds of people, but it was better than this broken prefect."
"Isn't that right, the world has changed, this prefect is the original Ming people, how can he win the trust of others, he must be a decoration, win the trust of the people, and wait until people's own scholars grow up, this old thing will naturally be finished."
"Death is expensive, after talking for a long time, it's not the day to let me abandon the prefect's house and elope with you."
"I can tell you, let's go, go directly to the imperial capital, no one will check us, and let you see the prosperity of the imperial capital."
"There's no urgency about this, anyway, the old man knows how to drink now, the person is already wasted, and he can't easily come to my room, hum, such an old man, but he has raised so many women, the ghost knows how many green hats he wears."
Li Jiantai couldn't bear it anymore, he had already drunk a lot of wine, and he was still drunk, so he kicked the door at this time, and didn't kick it open, but he had already startled the wild mandarin ducks in the house.
"Come on, I've caught this pair of dogs and men!"
Li Jiantai has a lot of concubines, and even most of them were obtained through various channels when he was a scholar, but before he could enjoy much happiness, something had already happened, fortunately, whether it was Shunjun or the elders, they were all good men, and there were countless beauties to chase, and even some elders were just addicted to Chen Yuanyuan, who saw that he was participating in the officer's banquet.
This is actually one of the side examples of the Shun army not looting in the imperial capital.
This is the inner house, Li Jiantai's howl attracted attention, but it was difficult to expect a general reaction of an order and a prohibition, and many people just poked their heads out to check the movement, but the way he kicked on the door was naturally detected.
The people in the house were frightened at first, and the man directly "paid the bill", but soon found that it seemed that the master was the only one who came to catch the adulterer.
was blocked, but the evil was born to the guts, and the man suddenly put on his pants and rushed out.
We know that Li Jiantai was emotional and drank alcohol.
Historically, people with emotions and people who have drunk alcohol have better not mess with these two kinds of people, and if a person drinks with emotions, it is even more terrifying.
Li Jiantai scolded and scolded all kinds of punishments, although he was a defeated dog in the officialdom, but in the end, he was also an old fritter in the Ming officialdom for decades, and all he said at this time were all kinds of cruel deaths that he had heard of.
In the Ming Dynasty, this caught a scene, of course, it can kill people, and as the master, although theoretically there is no right to kill, but the landlord, there is a way to kill you still need the law? Directly report an accidental death during the arrest, and it will be straightforward.
Li Jiantai didn't say that he had no authority in Baoding Mansion, and he had long lost authority in his own home.
None of the fifty concubines in history followed and died, but left with a smile, which shows this person's character.
The reason is actually very simple, a prefect who has no oil and water, and an old pervert who is dozens of years old and can't satisfy a woman, whether it is a family member or a woman, he regards it as nothing.
Midlife crisis, this is the legendary midlife crisis.
In later generations, there was a classic comic book, in which there was a comrade Hiroshi Uchiyamada, who was a model of mid-life crisis, his wife regarded him as a cash cow, his daughter secretly aided him, his colleagues bullied him every day, and even the students below......
