The Ming Dynasty, which has been known for decades, has been at the point where two or three hundred jinshi can be admitted every three years for many years, and it can be said that the hunger and thirst of the masses are ancient and modern.

Although there can be no temptation to be directly a high-ranking official, the system of the integration of officials and officials can still find clues in history.

Therefore, this time, Enke, the attention is also real, according to the elders' planning, the registration is divided into specific positions, according to the department to which they belong, of course, the same content of the unified examination during the initial examination, only when the second examination is carried out, it will be different.

Under this design, it will not cause the Song and Ming dynasties to have the same source of officials, and the supervision of officials and the official system may have a mysterious connection with other people, such as masters and apprentices, fellow villagers, the same year, in-laws or something.

The taxation system, the education system, the regulatory system, the economic department, etc., are all like this, and the provincial system, as well as public institutions, although they are not called yamen, are really recruiting.

At this time, it can be said that the minds of the whole world have been raised, compared to the rebellious theory of not taking the sages, and completely abandoning the routine of the eight-strand text, the positions given by the elders are really lacking, and the treatment is not low, although the supervision is strict, but who does not understand that there is an advantage of preparation.

Of course, the first time you apply for the exam, it will inevitably cause uneven heat and cold, just like the Shanghai Customs in later generations, a certain position has reached thousands of people competing for a post, which is terrible.

Fortunately, the elders gave more than a year to review and understand what these jobs were for, and even how to be promoted, and where they could reach the highest position.

And these need to borrow the role of various books, periodicals and newspapers.

This is also where the booksellers covet, you know, even at this time Jiangnan and other places, although they still show a non-cooperative attitude, but they are very aware of all the changes that have occurred in the north, I believe that after these books are sold, there are few people who want to run over to find out.

This is almost the best era, at least for the booksellers, the previous restrictions have been lifted, there were countless mothers-in-law on the head before, and now only such a mother-in-law in the imperial capital needs to be served, and all kinds of equipment appeared, the cost of pulp was reduced, and many of them could not be done before, and now they can't do it, and the price paid is just to lead the social atmosphere at any time under the leadership of the elders, enhance the connotation of young people, shout positive energy, and reform the traditions of the past......

Wu Gengtian was suddenly busy, he wanted to comprehend the spirit of the elders, and read the booksellers themselves to learn how to exercise the system of a publishing house.

Thinking with his toes, he knows how much money these booksellers can make, but Wu Gengtian can't do it, firstly, he has no way to block people's legitimate applications in the system, and secondly, the elders often appear, which also makes him very constrained.

However, the brother-in-law doesn't care about this, the imperial capital is a world of flowers, and there is money everywhere, but it doesn't belong to him, so he is naturally very resentful.

He also wanted to pretend to be forced to slap his face, first go to the restaurant for dinner, and then find a few rich sons to have a conflict, and finally reveal the identity of his brother-in-law, so scared that the other party quickly knelt down and licked it......

Of course, this kind of thing can't happen, think about it with your toes, where the fart goes, and where the rich go, can it be the same, life is fundamentally separated from each other.

Not to mention, I really came up with an idea by my brother-in-law, mainly in Wu Gengtian's office, and asked my brother-in-law to take away a stack of official paper, and there was an official desk on it, and this brother-in-law also had a ghost idea, after forging a piece of paper, he found a way to "borrow" a black skin of a Xu official to keep out the cold, and then he took this thing, as if it was a holy decree, and went to various merchants to ask for the New Year's fee.

Although the content of the official document does not have the kind of new official language, and it lacks seals, there are a few who dare to read it.

Just as the experience of later generations, if you sign a contract with someone, read the contract a little carefully, the people over there will start to fidget, pouting and muttering insults to you, what is not atmospheric, don't trust me, who is with us, oops, some people are ink, you look at who that is, how generous the big brother is, so trust in our company, and sign it without looking at it, the more such people get richer, the more those who grind and chirp, the more the family is ruined...... The more this kind of person, you can just throw down the contract and find a place to have a good meal.

And the brother-in-law's tricks are also very simple, who dares to take a closer look at his "official documents", he will be beaten directly immediately,

Those merchants naturally didn't dare to resist, they all came from the Ming Dynasty, and the government robbed the people, isn't that the established rule.

The brother-in-law succeeded many times, at first he was still a small person, and then he was insatiable, and his courage gradually increased, and he broke into a place called Xinhua Bookstore.

When he went in arrogantly and arrogantly, shouting: "I have collected the annual fee, and if I don't pay the money quickly, I will send all of them to Australia to ......", those shocked faces couldn't be suppressed, and then he looked at the good things There are so many, just take this and that, at the same time, he even saw a few little women who were watery, and immediately rejoiced and angry, happy that he had the opportunity to get up and down his hands, and his eyes rolled at that time, angry is, why is the world not according to those, women see me, and throw themselves into their arms.

He suddenly smiled evilly, walked over, wanted to grab the girl, and said: "Such a watery woman, ah, it must be the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, and she won't take ...... away."

The next moment, he heard a voice with a little change in his views: "What do you see, don't beat me to death." ”

"Yes, Elder."

The case was issued at once, generally speaking, the value of the case is not large, but it aroused everyone's vigilance, the speculators who entered the system in the Ming Dynasty, for the booming economy, can only resentfully themselves can not plunder, want to reach out is inevitable, or that problem, their morality will not be aimed at ordinary people, only at the scholars themselves, only they themselves are human beings.

As a result, an unannounced investigation before the end of the year began, and sure enough, many departments had the intention of taking advantage of the New Year to reap some benefits and celebrate the New Year.

Of course, so many heads were still touchable before, so the degree of extortion was not large, it was nothing more than a little New Year's goods and a little money, but this kind of atmosphere was like a flood beast in the eyes of the elders.

"It's still that problem, it's like when we lost a bicycle or a mobile phone, and no one helped you find it, because the cost of investment was too high, the value of the case was too low, and if you were going to jail for stealing a bicycle, then those public knowledge could howl again, and eventually they had to let go."

"Can't we deploy more police?"

"This problem is the same as why not give everyone a private doctor, the spillover cost is actually still hanging on every taxpayer, and all the criminals are not left to arrest all the offenders, although it is relieving, but the spillover cost is huge, unless ...... Every time a case is solved, we strive to earn back all the social costs. Li Xiangqian turned his mind and said: "For example, this arrest used more than 100 people, and the salaries of these people, the bonuses for attendance, and the money and materials that need to be paid for meritorious service are all counted, and let them compensate." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "This is punishment without teaching." ”

Li waved his hand forward and said: "In fact, this phenomenon is widespread in law enforcement agencies, and the people of the United States can accept and endure the trick of tens of millions of missiles hitting tents, but the common people will approve of it, spending huge sums of money to catch a few thieves, this is the same as adding more water to noodles and more water to noodles, which is difficult to do." ”

"So be it, it seems that for the sake of clean government, there is still no such thing as privacy."

The mass arrests were very large, and some of the small departments that managed the sanitation of the merchants, or the patrols of the city, were almost completely wiped out, but the protests that followed were too great.

Although there are a few unlucky ones, there are many involved.

Therefore, those who have lost their benefits are naturally dissatisfied, and although their tandem activities have been under the watchful eye of the elders, they have never moved, and it is obvious that they are playing a game of cat and mouse.

Until Huang Daozhou touched it, although Huang Daozhou looked down on these "heretics", and he was not an official who was a person who took the sage study, it was really so unbearable, how could a well-educated person like him, if it was Huang Daozhou to manage it, it would definitely be in order, and the people would not dare to say much.

He had a little contempt in his eyes, the elders were full of the phenomenon of Xiucai and Lao Xiucai as officials, most of these people were poor, they were really poor, and when it came to the standard of learning in the Ming Dynasty, it was also a standard imperial examination defeat dog, and in front of such a scholar as Huang Daozhou, he basically couldn't raise his head.

"You are really unorthodox in doing things, and you are not afraid of being notorious in history for the sake of gold and silver corruption."

A dismissed tax bureau official looked aggrieved at this time, and said: "We are also in charge of the people, the imperial court exempted those peasant households from agricultural taxes, but exploited the merchants in every way, I saw a fellow villager complaining, so I helped him to undercalculate a sum of money, but I don't know why it was found out, such a small matter, I was exempted from my mission, I don't accept it." ”

Huang Daozhou nodded, his hometown is in Fujian, which is a place with many mountains and few fields, and he attaches more importance to business, and said: "Merchants have worked hard to wade through mountains and rivers, but now they are bittersweet and uneven. ”

"Also, those chaotic people don't have to pay taxes, and they have turned the sky upside down one by one, refusing to be honest tenants, but messing up their minds, a little bewitched, and running outside, my father-in-law led people to kill a few, but ran faster, my lord, we are also difficult, this year's New Year, we can't go on, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to find tenants to do things."

Huang Daozhou nodded and said: "You go on like this, the merchants everywhere are so miserable, if you can ask those elders to exempt the commercial tax, start collecting agricultural taxes again, and then let those tenants farm with peace of mind, don't leave their hometowns, the principle of the state of parents, is the best policy." ”

"That's it, that's it...... Doing business is so hard, it should be like this, you don't know, the agricultural tax is exempted, but there is a lot of chaos, and the people who are dedicated to me and other official eunuchs are completely extinct. ”

Here's how the dedication goes.

I don't know which tendon is wrong, stipulating that the identity of the lifter will not have to pay agricultural taxes, so after a lifter appears, there will be countless people who will be sacrificed under him, the land will be divided under him, and a symbolic rent will be paid every year, and at the same time, many people are willing to be domestic slaves in order to escape the human tax.

This is obviously a social phenomenon caused by taxation, but in a situation where the agricultural tax is completely exempted and the foolish tax is scorned, the first to feel unhappy are those who have vested interests.

The benefits are gone.

In previous years, they could rely on lending, collecting loans, and forcing the peasants to go bankrupt and then annex other people's fields in one go.

It's all costs, huge costs.

Therefore, this kind of thing often happens, when it is necessary to spend money, the landlord lends a part of the money to the tenant or the yeoman farmer, and waits until the wheat harvest to recover, not to mention the interest earned, or usury, at this moment, these landlords are most excited by all kinds of famines.

Anyway, his family's grain stock is enough, and if it is all harvested in one go, it will be enough to eat for several years, and the yeoman farmer can only sell his land and sell his sons and daughters, and take the opportunity to use Xi'er to pay off his debts, do you think he is talking about it?

The people who had been shooting targets in history had moved towards a better life because of the appearance of the elders, but they found that the original means of lying down to earn money and making a fortune were gone, and the benefits were not so great, and those tenants began to shout that they would go to other places to make a living without reducing rent.

In fact, with my original civil servant treatment in the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally impossible to attract people, what people value is the benefits of being sought after by those rich merchants and salt merchants, and there is the opportunity to contribute, of course, according to the rules, the money and food that pass through the hands are basically to eat a bite, and it is the rule of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and there are fixed rules for people in what position to eat.

In addition, various donations are also a major part of the benefits.

Now, the biggest contradiction is like this, many businessmen have started to think, although their taxes are not high, but they can't stand the money spent, if you can save a foot, how good.

As a result, this kind of voice also keeps appearing, lowly farmers can be exempted from taxes, if they can also be exempt from taxes, isn't it?

Huang Daozhou nodded as expected, but still said: "The copper smell is a small matter, and the loss of discipline is a big matter, as long as the corrupt officials can be expelled from the court, and the people are in the court, then the exemption of commercial taxes is also a trivial matter, but you don't know, is there going to be an accident with your hair?" ”
