"Although the thieves are peaceful, the chaos in Guangdong has the potential of wildfire! Unscrupulous officials act as tigers, tyrannical warriors, and arbitrarily exert military might. Instigated a mob to change the tax system without authorization, did not practice a whip law, did not act in accordance with the constitution of the ancestors, and threw the hundreds of years of law of the two ancestors into the sea of the East. ”

"First, the former mob and thief leader Wu Mou soldiers pressed the border, vainly acted as a prestige, forcibly disarmed and reorganized the imperial court's economic army, ordered the so-called old and weak to return to the peasants, and incorporated the strong into the Nanyue military camp."

Later, there were unscrupulous officials in Guangdong, who read the books of sages in vain for many years, regardless of the emperor's grace and rain and dew, and sold themselves to take refuge. Regardless of the righteousness, only for their own selfish interests, abusing Shilin, looting people's wealth, the people in Guangdong are boiling with resentment, and the suffering is unspeakable. ”

"Let me ask, today's eastern Guangdong, whose family is in the world? If it is the land of my Ming Dynasty, why are there two courts in a country? ”

After Jiang Yihong figured it out, he immediately launched an all-out implementation of the new tax system with Wu Liuqi and others.

The two hands of this article and martial arts suddenly made the entire Shilin officialdom in Guangdong jump up.

The military flag of Wu Liuqi's first mixed brigade was inserted at the gates of the barracks of the Ming army in various parts of Guangdong, and several battalions of soldiers and horses surrounded it, and the general soldiers, deputy generals, and staff generals inside immediately opened the camp door very acquaintedly, welcoming Brigade Commander Wu to enter the camp for inspection, and the soldiers and petty officers below stood on both sides of the barracks road with smiles on their faces to greet them, "We have long been looking forward to the day when we join the Nanyue Army!" ”

After that, the process was to pay according to the posts on the establishment table, because Wu Liuqi often used the surprise attack movements he was good at to conduct inspections of the military camps in various places. It is inevitable that when this kind of arrears is paid, there will be many people who should be on the compilation table who are not present for one reason or another, and in the face of the embarrassment of the commander of the army, Wu Liuqi will not break it. After giving the marshal's kindness to the smiling soldiers one by one, he often generously handed over the rest to the generals and asked them to distribute it on their behalf.

This move suddenly made the local Ming army generals in Guangdong can't stop praising the kindness of the marshal, and Brigade Commander Wu is righteous, if it weren't for the fact that there were dozens of soldiers with firearms behind Wu Liuqi all the time, I was afraid that someone would pull Wu Liuqi to worship his brother.

When the good guys are done, it's time for the wicked people.

After paying the Ming troops stationed in the Pearl River Delta and other places in arrears for several months or even more than ten months, Wu Liuqi ordered the officers who came with him to check the soldiers. Too old. Too young. Those who are not in good health, in general, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be paid half a year's military salary as severance pay, and they will be allowed to wait for the arrangement. For those who are barely able to enter the law in terms of body and age, they are handed over to several garrison brigades after being disrupted. The supplementary training battalion set up by the garrison brigade conducts intensive training for these soldiers.

Not a month. The anointed land of Guangdong. In the Pearl River Delta region, there is only one armed force, the Nanyue Army.

With the support of the armed forces. Jiang Yihong also had the help of the teams stationed in various places, so the new fiscal and taxation system was immediately implemented in the Pearl River Delta region.

The experience that Hong Yilin explored in Dongguan was quickly printed into a book and sent to various places for promotion. Foshan, Nanhai, Bao'an, Huaxian, and Chaozhou have all explored a set of effective plans based on this experience and the characteristics of their own regions.

But in general, they first put up an example in various towns and towns, made the new tax system public, and then selected a few familiar people to be the benchmark, as an example, how much food you should pay before the reform of the tax system, and how much you should pay according to the new tax system now, and then calculate it clearly and make it public on the spot.

Then he prosecuted Hu Shu and others, and ordered them to hand over the fish scale albums and accounts for many years, and if they refused to hand them over, it would be easy to do it, and naturally some people were willing to make meritorious contributions and come out to expose and report. Moreover, in addition to the experience, areas like Dongguan, which have carried out tax reform first, have also provided other achievements to other localities, that is, the people who have been locked up and detained. These people are experts in the way of money and food, as the saying goes, the trick can't hide the gong, and everyone's little tricks can be seen at a glance.

It is also a great initiative of Shouhan to let these would-be criminals, who are eager to clear their lives and save their lives, to use their spare heat to check the accounts in various places.

However, in this way, the eunuchs and gentry in various places have a great hard time, and they have to prepare to collect the arrears of rent and valley at the end of the year, and they have to be busy preparing for the New Year. But who is in the mood for the New Year now?

One after another, the letters of complaining and complaining were sent from all over Guangdong, and they went to the north and south of the two capitals to find their relatives and friends, and their classmates sued in the same year, and they also knew that with the current court's reliance on this Ning Yuanbo, it was unlikely that they would have any tricks against him, so most of them pointed the finger at Jiang Yihong and Wu Liuqi.

"The former tenant farmers, domestic slaves and other generations, instead of remembering the virtue of years of kindness, entered the house and shouted loudly! If there is no land for us, how can this generation have food and clothing? ”

In the letters, some people gritted their teeth and cursed the so-called domestic slaves in their families who demanded to give up their land.

"Who feeds whom, let's do the math, let's take a look, without us going to the field, the grain will not drill out, and we will work hard to cultivate and hoe. Five watches, sleep in the middle of the night, a grain of sweat, the landlord enjoys leisure, and the grain is piled up into a mountain. Who feeds whom, let's do the math! ”

"Who feeds whom, let's do the math, let's take a look, there will be tiles and bricks there, there will be tiles and bricks, we will work hard to build a wall, two or three of our own rooms, and half of them are exposed, the landlord enjoys leisure, the house is high and wide."

Such nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes are sung by the children's crisp children's voices everywhere in the Pearl River Delta region, and the common people are sung by such folk songs and suddenly seem to understand something. Get ready to read! ”

Similarly, there are several small operas. In the polders of market towns everywhere, various opera troupes or grass stage troupes sang in a form that the people like to see.

"Today's new play, Tian Mu Ji!"

In the lively town of Foshan, outside several tea gardens, tea doctors are working hard to promote the children of the Red Boat.

"Tian Mu Ji? What is it about? Someone took a bowl of big meat noodles and stood outside the tea garden door snoring and eating, ready to come and listen to a small drama after finishing his work.

"Hey! It is said that several families in Dong Jiawei asked the landlord to reduce the rent for the sake of land rent and taxes, but the landlord said that this land was mine. How much rent I want to set is my business. You can plant this paddy field if you like, and if you don't pay the rent according to my rules, you will take the tenant and get out! ”

"Oh!? Isn't that interesting? And then? ”

"Later? You'll have to see for yourself! If I tell you all, won't you be bored when you watch the play? Dr. Tea winked slyly, "And oh! This play is a good thing that the lord has seen and said! The children of the Red Boat everywhere are vying to stage this show! ”

Dr. Tea didn't know. Cantonese opera actors known as the children of the red boat. The reason why they are scrambling to stage this play. In addition to the high attendance rate, another reason is that Ning Yuanbofu will give a subsidy of 150 yuan to the team that staged this play.

"How?"

On the newly completed Yuexiu Tower of Guanyin Mountain, Li Muhua looked at Shouhan very proudly. She had just learned from her father-in-law about the exploits of the propaganda teams she was in charge of.

"Not bad! Nowadays, all over Guangdong will sing the newly compiled lotus flower when they ask for food, which makes people tired of listening, and unconsciously knows what kind of tax should be a collection standard, what is the unified progressive tax, and what is called apportionment into the mu. ”

Let the propaganda teams raised in the house go out to carry out propaganda, write scripts, sing lyrics for various opera troupes and beggars to sing, this is the idea put forward by Li Muhua, but Shouhan didn't want this trick to become a brainwashing artifact. (Think about it, the streets are full of singing about the little apple and the most dazzling folk style, and you will naturally sing it yourself after listening to it a few times.) ）

Although Li Muhua is already a middle-aged beauty, and a son is already a figure who can take charge of himself, but in addition to being a little plump, revealing the alluring taste exuded by a mature woman, she can't see the feeling of aging beauty in the twilight.

Just after being cultivated by the bullock of Shouhan, several mothers-in-law came in to help clean up the mess, and Li Muhua's smooth body was as smooth as a brocade, full of the seductive luster of a woman moistened by rain and dew.

"Uncle, you should also go to a few more courtyards, no matter what, there are many heirs in the house, and it is a prosperous scene."

She covered her clothes, covered a large piece of dazzling clotted chest, and comforted the guards in her mouth.

In today's Ning Yuanbo Mansion, there are many beauties.

From the Arabian beauties with snake-like waists from the Heavenly Eclipse, to the picturesque Indian Kshatriyas, Brahmin girls from the Tuwang family of the Sultan of Tianzhu, as well as the famous Silla maidservants, who are driven back and forth in the inner house, and even more than a dozen so-called aristocratic princesses brought by Basten from Europe, who were also sent to the mansion after being washed alive, for a time, from southern Europe, the Near East to the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia, some characteristic beauties can be seen in this mansion.

For a time, the beauties in Ning Yuanbo's mansion became the object of saliva and greed when countless disciples in Guangzhou City were discussing, and won Li Shouhan another flower name in addition to "Qian Chuanzi", "Li Lewd Worm!" ”

Although he had already knocked over the vinegar vat in his heart, on the surface, Li Muhua still had to act like a lady, and show the demeanor of a countess and a court.

Although there are a lot of women, most of them are given to Shou Han Nuan by various people, and the serious and famous lady in the house is gone when she arrives here in Aurai Yilan. And because Ao Lei Yilan was pregnant and waiting to give birth, it was not easy to come to serve the living of Shouhan, and Yan Mei'er returned to Hue, which gave Li Muhua a vacancy.

She also wants to use this time window to give birth to another boy and half girl for Shouhan, so as to build a stronger position for herself.

Li Muhua saw the composition of the forces behind the ladies very clearly, Yan Mei'er followed the Shouhan during the garrison period, and behind her was a group of old people and families in Hejing, and her position was so stable that others could not imagine. There are two sisters in Messa, and behind them are the royal family of Ayutthaya in Siam. Over the years, their mother's family has helped Shouhan to reclaim and log trees in the Chao Phraya River area, open mines and horses, and resettle displaced people, which is very hard, and not only has her family made a fortune. It also helped Shouhan stabilize his territory and expand his power. Every year, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land produce grain, and tens of thousands of miles of timber harvested from mountains and forests, are a great help to the Southern Guangdong Army. In the past few years, with the continuous expansion of the strength and power of Shouhan, I heard that the Siamese royal family has the idea of dedicating the country, so that the status of the two sisters has become more prominent.

And the other lady Xiuzhu above her is because she is Li Xiuxiu's maid, and Shouhan has always been grateful, although she has never had an heir. But behind the Li family, Li Peiting and Li Peilin, the two brothers, have been supporting her openly and secretly. It is also not to be underestimated.

Even this newly entered barbarian, Auris Yilan, in addition to being able to bring a different style to the earl between the beds, his mother's family is a Sauron barbarian, and the annual trade volume and profits are also shocking. If you give birth to another boy and half a girl. The position is more secure.

Comparatively. However, she Li Muhua is the most lonely, and there is no one in her mother's family to rely on, let alone any forces that can provide endless gold and silver. With endless possessions, she had to rack her brains if she wanted to struggle out of this seemingly uneventful, even like a pool of still water.

She couldn't find any other way to go except that she had read more than those people, was familiar with government affairs, and could help Shouhan come up with some ideas and help do some things in this regard.

"Master, if you have done great things in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, you are not worried that these people will complain to the imperial court and attack you behind your back?"

Shouhan got up in his coat and tucked the fur collar of Da Yu into his arms, and the fur collar of the sea dragon skin slid over the skin very comfortably, "I'm just afraid that they will attack me behind my back in the future, so I have to strike first!" Otherwise, these three provinces are not my Li family! How will the children settle down here in the future? ”

If this was said to be spread outside the palace, a few years ago, I was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would also turn his face and order someone to arrest this Ning Yuanbo Li Shouhan and go to Beijing for questioning, but now it is not possible.

The Ming court is already terminally ill, and it is no longer able to restrain the military leaders of all sizes. Even if Shouhan did something angry and resentful in the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou for many days, the imperial court would pretend that nothing had happened.

Shouhan still knows this point.

However, he did a lot of calculations and missed a little.

Even if he killed and bloodied in the two provinces of Guangdong and Guizhou, the imperial court would not say anything, but would only pretend to be an ostrich. But Fujian, not far away, is a little different.

Fujian has always been known for its eight mountains, one water and one field, and the geographical environment of many mountains and few fields makes the people here have to hold up their chests and boldly go to the sea to make a living, relying on the silver taels obtained in exchange for overseas livelihoods to buy grain and rice that are also produced in other places to satisfy their stomachs. Therefore, most of the fields here are grown with cash crops such as tobacco leaves.

The different planting structure leads to the fact that the tax system here is also different from that of Guangdong, where the land endowment is only a minority, and those cash crops are subject to much more tax than grain.

In this way, the local people will inevitably complain about the same hardships as Guangdong, so they will invite a Fujian bigwig to talk about it.

This duke is Hong Chengchou, who is leading the eight commanders of the general army and 130,000 horses to confront Dolgon and Haoge on the Ningjin front.

Regarding these things that happened in Fujian, Hong Chengchou, who is from Nan'an, Fujian, is not easy to say.

Fujian has many mountains and few fields, and Ning Yuanbo organized landless peasants to go to the sea to reclaim the wasteland, so that these young and strong people can have land to make a living, so that they will not become idle people, and the so-called people with constant property have perseverance. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of young people have carved out dozens or hundreds of acres of fertile land of their own in Taiwan, the Jiulong River, the Chao Phraya River and other places, so that their wives and children and parents can have food and clothing.

Compared with previous years, the people of Fujian fought alone in Taiwan, Jiulong River, Chao Phraya River, Java and other places like headless flies, and every time the bones could not return to their hometowns, the reclamation of famine is much easier now. Some of the Fujian immigrants who opened up the wasteland in Hejing in their early years are already large farmers who own tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

What's more, on the current Liaodong front, the huge consumption of these hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people, from military rations to ordnance, all depend on the continuous supply of the Nanyue army. In order to ensure that this group of Qiu Ba did not make trouble, Inspector Hong even privately begged Long Shengxing in the capital to borrow several military salaries for emergencies. In order to strengthen the military strength of the Liaodong front, the bigwigs of the DPRK and the eunuchs in the palace have exchanged letters with Inspector Hong many times in private, planning to transfer more than 6,000 people from Wu Biao's department, who had beaten Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao in Sichuan to the Liaodong front, to be controlled by Hong Chengchou.

At this moment, how can you offend this master because of the complaints of a few fellow Fujian villagers? In order for him to change the tax system for money and grain in Fujian, he tied up a few household clerks, copied the homes of a few squires who refused to pay taxes, and then turned against him?

However, the face of the fellow villagers still has to be sold, otherwise they will be scolded by people pointing at the backbone.

As a result, under the text of an underwritten inscription in which Hong Chengchou coped with an errand with a strong taste, the cabinet and the celebrant Gong Gong also knew the meaning of the song, and copied the text of the complaint that came up like snowflakes from all over the country one by one, and attached it to the back of Hong Chengchou's inscription, and even copied his name in the same way, not knowing the slightest idea of protecting the safety of the informant's life and property.

"What is the situation of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guisan's money and grain taxes, so that Ning Yuanbo understands the echo."

The Huanghuang Holy Decree was carried out of Beijing by Wang Dehua. Accompanying him to the south, there were also several officials from the Ministry of Rites, who were also assigned by the cabinet and the celebrant to ask Ning Yuanbo to report the name of the prince in the morning newspaper, and the court and the central government should be prepared.
