Chapter 314: Mingzhenfu County (9)
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became warm because of Yu Yongkai's statement.
Seeing this, Liu Ximing immediately stood up at the right time and smiled at Zhang Licheng: "The officers and soldiers of the Shunqing Baihu Institute are considerate of the people, which is of course a good thing, but we can't let the sergeants have no weapons. ”
"The students have a suggestion, it just so happens that the gentry in Shunqingfu County are here, why don't you call on everyone to donate money to subsidize 100 households, I don't know what you think?"
The gentry of Shunqing Mansion, who were originally relieved, raised their throats again.
What the fuck did you hit us with the idea?
If it weren't for so many people in the city watching, Liu Ximing estimated that these gentry would be able to pounce and tear themselves to pieces directly.
Even if they didn't dare to act now, the eyes that looked at Liu Ximing were full of naked killing intent.
Zhang Licheng looked around at the silent gentry, and laughed loudly: "Liu Wujiang, do you have anyone willing to respond to this proposal?" If anyone is willing to donate, the government promises to erect a monument for him. ”
"This is a good thing for the benefit of the village, so that the people will not have to suffer from the silk tax, and the sergeants will be able to defend the village with peace of mind, how about it?"
A group of gentry still didn't speak, and when they saw Zhang Licheng's gaze, they all turned their heads away.
Liu Ximing was amused when he saw this scene, of course he expected the reaction of this group of gentry.
In these years, it is even more difficult to get them to pay.
But what Liu Ximing wants is this effect, and now thousands of people in the city are watching, and it is natural to see who is really doing good deeds and who is fake.
Liu Ximing waited for Zhang Licheng to urge him a few times, and when his face became more and more ugly, he stepped forward and said with a resolute expression.
"Asking for the people's life, this scholar's responsibility, since the gentry in the house are unwilling to bail out the people, then the student will bear this matter as the president of the Datong Society, and we will find this money."
"Of course, this money can only be donated to the government by us, as for how the government will deal with it, that is Zhang Fuzun's business."
"Wow"
Now not only the people, but also the gentry were in an uproar.
Zhang Licheng asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Have you thought it through?" This money is not a small amount, more than 1,700 taels a year, and unless you can get the imperial court to agree to reduce it, this money will always exist. ”
"I, the Datong Society, will take this matter together."
Without Liu Xi's signal, the thirty-three members of the Datong Society in the garden shouted loudly together.
Just looking at that expression, it seemed as if their group of scholars were going to die.
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into even louder voices.
"Cosmos Gaoyi"
"Please leave your name for the Prime Minister"
I don't know who shouted this sentence, and a group of gentry also lit up.
Huang Hongyi's smile on his face echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, I also ask the government to leave a name for the scholar of the Datong Society." ”
Liu Ximing sneered in his heart, this is to make this matter a certainty.
But he was not afraid at all, why did he go to such great lengths to go around in such a big circle and then throw the money on his head.
Of course, this purpose is to seek fame, so he made this matter known to the prefecture and county through many channels such as the Datong Society and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Now that the contradictions between Nanchong County and the other nine states and counties have been provoked, and now that I suddenly hear the solution of the Datong Society, I will inevitably be grateful to the Datong Society and the members of the Datong Society.
As long as the Military Intelligence Bureau quietly blows the wind again, even Zhang Licheng and Zhang Gaoxuan can get a lot of blessings.
And Long Xiang Camp was also able to gain a firm foothold in Shunqing Mansion with such a play.
Hou Liangzhu has already had news that with his meritorious post and Liu Ximing's money, the position of Yu Yongkai's Shunqing Mansion this time is already a sure thing.
This means that the Longxiang battalion already has the name of stationing in Shunqing for a long time in the official face, and if it is cooperated with this operation, even if it is not a military and civilian situation, at least the Longxiang battalion will be regarded as its own by the Shunqing people, and it will be much easier to act.
Of course, Liu Ximing's considerations are more than these.
The extra silk tax in Nanchong County has been listed as a regular tax of the imperial court, and I have never heard of the truth that there are private people who help the people pay taxes.
If Liu Ximing really did this, he would be stabbed to the court when he turned around, and he was afraid that he would make a big splash when he stared at him.
There is no such problem with the transfer of part of the military expenses of the Longxiang battalion to the human silk tax, firstly, this is a transfer within the imperial court's finances, and secondly, as long as the Longxiang battalion has always existed in the imperial court's military register, this money can be transferred all the time.
As for why it had to go around again from the government in the end, it was because it was also impossible for the Datong Society to donate money directly to the army, so it had become a private army.
How could someone as fine as Liu Ximing make such a mistake.
Therefore, the official caliber of the Datong Society to the outside world can only be that the scholars of the Datong Society have donated a sum of money to the government, but the specific use of this silver is a matter for the government.
After going around in such a big circle, Liu Ximing finally settled the matter of stabbing himself out.
All parties involved were happy, the people of Nanchong County were exempted from miscellaneous taxes of 1,700 taels of silver a year, and other states and counties in Shunqing Prefecture were exempted from unwarranted disasters.
Zhang Licheng and other officials also picked up a reputation for doing things in vain, and it seems that only Datong Society has suffered a loss, after all, so much money is not a small amount.
But who can know that Liu Ximing has already smiled in his heart, more than a thousand taels is naturally difficult for others, and it is not a small amount of money for the current Liu family.
But Lao Liu, as a descendant, knew that Comrade Xiao Zhu would not be able to survive for long, and this silver would only be paid for a few more years at most.
On the one hand, it greatly enhanced the prestige of Liu Ximing and these scholars of the Datong Society, and on the other hand, it also indirectly strengthened the cohesion of the Datong Society.
If it is said that after the last time the rice was sold, the Liu family was ranked in the hearts of the wealthy gentry.
So after this incident, the Liu family and Datong Society can already be called Mingguanfu County.
Spend a little money to do big things, Lao Tzu is really a fucking genius, Liu Ximing laughed in his heart.
Therefore, hearing Huang Hongyi say this, Liu Ximing was naturally too late to be happy, as long as the monument was erected, all the people would have to read the benefits of the Liu family when they saw this in the future.
"Yes, yes, please erect a monument to the scholars of the Datong Society."
Seeing Liu Ximing's vague eyes, Lai Jingjie also shouted loudly with the arranged nursery below.
Zhang Licheng saw that Liu Ximing had no objections, and then laughed loudly with a red face: "Such beautiful things just prove that Shunqing is a place where morality is popular, the hometown of humanities and splendor, and this official is the beauty of adults." ”
"Hooray"
Chen Lekang smashed his mouth twice, looked at Chen Liyan, who was still gloating on the side, and a few black lines floated through his head.
It's really a stuff that doesn't work, and it's stupid to get home.
Fortunately, Chen Lixin on the side frowned, Chen Lekang's old face was relaxed, and there were still people who understood his own family.
"Go back and invite this Liu Xianggong to our house for a gathering, since it is a handsome man in this county, we should be close and close."
"Daddy......"
Chen Lekang glared back at Chen Liyan's words with a look, and walked directly towards the outside of the courtyard.
When passing by Huang Hongyi, Chen Lekang saw that his expression on a dead face was a little funny.
Just now, he also conspired with Zhang Licheng to leave his name, and when Liu Ximing had no objections, I am afraid that he would understand that this is originally someone else's bureau.
It's all self-inflicted, Chen Lekang thought in his heart, and nodded at Huang Hongyi without staying.
"Good means for virtuous nephews", avoiding the crowd that kept exiting the Liu Mansion compound, Xie Chengzhou found Liu Ximing, and the first sentence was this.
Liu Ximing couldn't help but smile proudly: "Shibo said that he laughed, a little cleverness is not enough to worry about, but it is just spending money to do things." ”
"Hahaha", seeing that there were people from the Liu family around him, Xie Chengzhou laughed and patted Liu Ximing on the shoulder.
"How many people can't do these things even if they spend money, can you be content, after this incident, your Liu family has been completely promoted to the family of the gentry, as long as you are promising, it is a pattern of generations of hairpins, what do you dislike?"
Liu Ximing smiled a little shyly, "Uncle Shi is too famous, if there is no Uncle Shi to help him, how can my little nephew be where he is today." ”
Xie Chengzhou's face flashed with a heartfelt smile, "What Wenle told you last time, you should think about it." ”
When Xie Wenle heard this, he was so happy that he winked his eyebrows at Liu Ximing for a while.
