The top figures among the two eunuchs, taking advantage of the convenience of the Admiral to transport Nancao, led Wu Liangfu and other eunuchs to sell all kinds of new fruits and out-of-season fruits on the South Road in the north and south of Erjing. Let the officials, gentry, and nobles of the two capitals in the north and south hold a banquet every time they entertain guests, in addition to letting the singers raised at home come out to present stunt songs and dances to entertain the guests, they should also bring out lychees, sugar cane, citrus, mangosteen, durian, mango, rambutan, bananas, oranges, coconuts and other tropical fruits to boast of their wealth.

Although these fruit businesses have a small audience, they are indeed high-end consumers. Let's ask, a lychee fresh-keeping pack, but the weight of half a catty, is a Nanzhong silver dollar with a full color!

The autumn breeze brings all kinds of fruits from the north to the market, but every month, the sea ships that arrive at the Huangpu River Wharf in Shanghai and the sea ships that arrive at the Nigu Wharf in Tianjin unload thousands of catties of various tropical fruits from the cabin. These fruits, which are used to supplement the nutrition of the crew during the shipping process and prevent overheating and mouth sores and other diseases, become a hot commodity immediately after arriving at the port. It has become a hard currency with yellow and white flowers, and has become a bulk income to make up for the freight of shipping grain and rice to the north.

Especially after the wax moon, lychees, mangosteens, mangoes, citrus and other things have become the gentry and nobles to compete for, and the buyers of the major wealthy families have special instructions from the masters: "Just have it, regardless of the price." "Because, without these high-quality rare fruits, the host is embarrassed to post to invite people to the banquet.

Autumn Breeze together, in the eyes of the eunuchs who have obtained the concession of Liang Guogong and exclusively deal in all kinds of fruits on the South Road, this is the God of Wealth Bodhisattva to take care of us. Although it is said that this matter is to be taken by the ancestors of Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen, the two eunuchs, and the eunuchs with heads and faces everywhere to the rough eunuchs who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the toilet in the palace also need a few silver dollars to share the profits, but the huge number of them cannot be supported, so that the big eunuchs are full of oil. The poor eunuch treasured the silver dollars in his hand and hid them densely, ready to use them to redeem his "treasure" in the future, and then respectfully put a stick of incense on the tablet of Grandpa Liang.

How much profit is there? The Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Tongzhou merchants in the capital who specialize in Caoyun have all had the idea of this business, and they have shouted the price to the point of 200,000 silver dollars per month, asking the two ancestors to hand over this matter to them, and the fathers-in-law don't have to do anything. Just sit back and wait for the bonus. That's it, the eunuchs still refuse to let go.

Therefore, Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua donated 40,000 silver dollars to Chongzhen's classmates, although it was just a waste of time in Layue, but they were also outstanding figures.

Compared with those noble ministers who donated dozens of taels of silver with buckles and ropes, and then donated unusually generously with a face value of 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, or even one million yuan, compared to Zhou Guozhang, Chen Shoufu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the eunuchs' festival is considered to be full.

Compared with Emperor Chongzhen's overstretched and sleepy city wanting to cry without tears, Li Zicheng's Dashun court is in a much better situation!

From the Han River basin to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Li Zicheng's Dashun army, which spread along the Jianghuai River and Han, unswervingly implemented the new policies brought by Wu Xing in his own jurisdiction. After conquering Tongguan and entering the Guanzhong region of Shaanxi, he spared no effort to implement Sun Chuanting's new policy. Such a method made the Shaanxi gentry who tried their best to force Sun Chuanting's troops out of the customs to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng.

If Sun Chuanting was there, they would still be somewhat decent in front of Inspector Sun. Through various relationship channels, you can also do some tricks and feet, pay less money, food and taxes. However, now that these thieves are here, they have nothing to do with everyone. It's to find a way to drill a hole in the door. It was also difficult to extinguish the fire from far away for a while.

In addition to continuing to adhere to the policy of "three-year exemption" from taxes for ordinary yeoman farmers, these Ming Dynasty gentry who did not have time to escape were recovered and paid. That is, confiscating the money obtained by the bureaucracy for government funds and military salaries.

However, the practice of recovering stolen goods and subsidies was strongly opposed by one person, and to everyone's surprise, this person was none other than Wu Xing. Wu Xing stated his reasons, now that King Chuang has ascended the throne and become the emperor, he can't be like the previous style of the rivers and lakes. Killing is arbitrary, and it should have a name. And this name, Wu Xing has already thought about it, and levies a tax on the gentry.

The so-called Dingqin tax is actually a tax used for restoration and reconstruction. It is mainly used for the restoration of water conservancy in Guanzhong, the pacification of displaced people and the development of cotton planting. To say that Guanzhong has been a relatively rich and good place since history, but unfortunately, since Wanli, the water conservancy has been in disrepair, and the displaced people are everywhere, and there are many bones. After entering Tongguan, the students of Wuxing's Qin Law School formed a task force to visit and survey the towns and villages of Sanqin, and they were surprised to find that the water conservancy disrepair was far from a problem, but the problem was that many people tacitly accepted that the government would not repair the water conservancy and carry out relief. When the students of the Qin Law School couldn't stand the suffering of the people and gave them a little money and food, there were actually groups of people who knelt down and recited Qingtian. In contrast, those officials and gentry who can be exempted from paying money and food are still at ease, and in the years when disasters and famines are everywhere, there are still opera troupes playing and singing all day long. When these reports were sent to Wu Xing, Wu Xing quickly made a decision to collect the Qin tax with the money and grain owed by the gentry since Wanli.

Therefore, the Dingqin tax is actually the cost of Shaanxi's restoration and reconstruction.

The source of this money is the income from the various fields and arrears of money and grain that the gentry have embezzled since the Jiajing period. The generals and commanders of the Dashun army all came from the fields, and they hated the methods of the landlords and gentry, the various evil policies of the government to urge the payment of money and grain, and the tricks of the officials to sprinkle money and grain. Wu Xing's proposal was immediately praised.

Wu Xing's reason is that water conservancy relief is a country's duty. The Ming thief was also a legitimate court before, so he should bear this cost, so the Qin tax should be paid by the Ming thief. And the taxes of the thieves mainly come from the land of the gentry, so this money is naturally borne by the gentry. It just so happens that you have a lot of arrears, so you can pay it all at once. Therefore, in addition to recovering the proceeds of corruption, Li Zicheng even adopted Wu Xing's suggestion to recover the money and grain accumulated over the years from the officials and gentry everywhere.

In accordance with the "Preferential and Exemption Regulations" implemented by the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period, the preferential policies for the official gentry were implemented, and the "New Regulations on Preferential Exemption" issued during the Wanli period were cancelled. Well, I'll take out your ancestor's stuff and slap you in the face right now!

The 24th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the "Preferential and Exemption Regulations". Jingguan Yipinyou exempted from service grain 30 stone and 30 ding, and the following decreases to 6 stone and 6 ding of people in the ninth grade; halving of foreign officials; lifting, prison, and student preferential and free food two stones, two people; Seven out of 10 of this product is exempt. (Note: "Jialong's new case is attached to Wanli?") In the 38th year of Wanli, the "New Regulations on Preferential Exemption" stipulates that the current Jiake Jingguan is exempt from 10,000 mu of land for one product, and the following is decreasing, and 2,700 mu for eight products; halving of foreign officials; Six-tenths of this product is exempt; The maximum amount of land can reach 3,350 acres. 1,200 acres of preferential and exempted land; Eighty acres of students and prisoners. (Note: Yao Zongyi: "Changshu Private Chronicles" Volume 3, "Enlistment? Compared with the previous Ming court's policy of preferential treatment of scholars and gentry as long as they have meritorious fame, they basically do not have to bear any obligations, and this set proposed by Li Zicheng has obviously won the approval of the majority of Shengdou small people.

"Cancel the preferential treatment of the Wanli Emperor to the scholars and gentry, the eighty acres of preferential and exempt fields for students and supervisors have become two stones and two people for free, and the current Jiake Jingguan has 10,000 mu of free land, and the following decrease has become 30 stone of Jingguan first-grade exempt grain and 30 ding of people, and the following decreases." These rules and regulations. It has long been a household name in the land of Jingchu, but once it was launched in the land of Sanqin, the township parties everywhere were stunned! If it weren't for the news and Bangwen who went out from their own villages and towns to vote for King Li Chuang's children and relatives and acquaintances, they couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world!

"The land that was originally sacrificed to avoid the evil government of Wanli was allowed to be retrieved by the original owner. If the person who is offered dares to stop him, he shall be deprived of his fame and shall receive the rent from the date of surrender. Refund with interest. ”

What do you mean?! That is, the land of your original family. In order to avoid the evil government of a whipping law, you can now take it back in the name of those who have meritorious names and official positions. If these people dare to talk crookedly in front of you, you can let him pay you back the rent he has collected from you all these years. As for whether or not I'm here to hold him accountable, it has nothing to do with you.

this means. Undoubtedly the most powerful! It's even more powerful than a salvo of a firecracker!

Historical records record: "The thieves feasted on the gentry in Guanzhong, and distributed the gold and silver utensils of the Qin Mansion with them, saying: 'Lack of salary, the public and the public are all inked and golden, and it is advisable to give them out to help the army.'" And let the left and right blades be exposed. They all trembled. ”

But. Anything more than that is yet to come.

Before the official gentry could wake up from the shock of this evil logic, Wu Xing added another article, the arrears should be counted as interest, and the interest was determined by the average interest of the official gentry in recent years. According to the investigation of Wu Xing's work team, the average interest rate in Shaanxi is about more than seven cents, and Wu Xing believes that it should be rounded up, so it should be calculated according to eight cents.

It's definitely a robbery! Many officials and gentlemen were indignant, but they completely forgot how they came out of thirteen in ordinary days, and completely forgot how they set up a name and knocked out the marrow. Just like some people will only scold how the Rabbit Party bullied them back then, not mentioning that what the Rabbit Party relied on for their struggle was the hard-working and kind fathers and villagers around them. It's just that Wu Xing is obviously not a kind person like the Rabbit Party, and in the face of the troublesome gentry, Wu Xing just said casually: "It is better for a thousand people to cry than to cry for hundreds of millions of people." ”

(Oh!) It seems that Comrade Jianfeng also said this when he was the commissioner of southern Jiangxi Province. Alas! The same leader's son, the same returned from staying in the Soviet Union, one was a member of the ministry as soon as he came back, the party, government and army all stretched out their hands, and fought for the name of Jiang Qingtian in southern Jiangnan, not to mention, after work, in order to relieve loneliness, he added a pair of twin sons of pure Chinese blood to himself. After arriving on that island, he was even more powerful, although he promoted a group of ill-intentioned people and took away their father and son's country, but it was constantly praised. One was kicked by Lao Tzu to farm, got a hand of calluses, and his face was dark. If you want to get married, you have to wait until your fiancée meets the age specified in the Marriage Law. Then after entering the city, he went to the factory, and the Korean war burned to the edge of the Yalu River, and was sent to North Korea by Lao Tzu. As a result, after the sacrifice, he was splashed with dirty water by countless people. Alas! are also sons, why is the gap so big!? ）

As soon as these measures came out, the officials and gentry in various places howled and cried, and watched as the belongings accumulated by generations of painstaking efforts and decades were loaded into the car by the Dashun army and escorted into the warehouse, and then the officials who led the team also left a sentence viciously: "The money and food you owe have not been paid off!" Remember to fundraise! ”

After a toss, the Dashun warehouse was full of gold and silver. The teahouse restaurant has all kinds of jokes abusing King Chuang and Wu Xing. In this regard, King Chuang and Wu Xing should laugh, in the cliché, there are many people who hate Lao Tzu, how old are you.

Although the treasury was full of money and grain in a blink of an eye. But when you think about it, there are more places to spend money.

Guanzhong has been used to promote the grain and money needed for cotton cultivation, and to build and restore water conservancy facilities. The consumption of salaries, rations, weapons, and armor for hundreds of thousands of troops costs money.

With so much money to spend, it's not enough to just raid your home!

In order to stabilize prices, facilitate private trade, and increase tax revenue. Under the co-auspices of Li Yan and Wu Xing, the Dashun court announced the abolition of the small money cast by officials and private officials during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, and opened the furnace to cast Yongchang Tongbao, which was worth one or two silver. Another cast is ten, when five coins.

Although these Yongchang Tongbao are not as good as the copper feet and good quality of Nanzhong Tongbao, they are stronger than the starting horse Chongzhen.

In order to protect agricultural production, military discipline has been strengthened for the armed forces. It is stipulated that the horsemen shall be beheaded if they cross the ranks of disorder. The horse ridden "slashes the one who vacates into the field seedlings".

On the Guanzhong Plain, there is a scene where farmers who have not appeared for decades begin to collect manure and accumulate manure in winter to prepare for spring plowing in the coming year.

In addition, in order to show that he is also a serious court, and he also respects scholars, at the initiative of Niu Jinxing. The Dashun Imperial Court also set up a decent branch in Xi'an.

Its purpose is to recruit talents to serve as officials at all levels, but. In Niu Jinxing's view, this move is a good and the only way to compete with the local officials of Wu Xing's Qin Law School!

The government of Youli "set up subject examiners, Ning Shao first served as the examiner, and used "Dingding Chang'an Fu" as the title, and Zhang Wenxi was the first to pull out the wind and raise people. Chinese-style officials are awarded to government, state, and county officials. Although it did not have the real power to manage government affairs, it also broke the situation of the Qin Law School dominating the world.

All of this, one by one, made the officials of the Ming court unable to make up their minds, whether it was to prepare for the new court. Or is it to rebel in Fengtian and follow Emperor Chongzhen in front of him to exterminate Li Chuang's rebels?

The answer to this question is only known to God.

In the court, Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, was singing a duet with Emperor Chongzhen, who was playing with Guang Shiheng in the matter, opposing Chongzhen's plan to adopt Li Shouhan's proposal to go south, and for Li Shouhan's proposal to move south, Guang Shiheng thought that it was the same as the previous proposition put forward by Li Mingrui, which was a fallacy and heresy. And took out the inscription book that had already been written from the sleeves of his robes, and declared in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military nobles in the court that he would impeach Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guogong, "Get rid of this traitor for the country!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Han generals who were standing in the Imperial Palace all looked at the person in front of them with a foolish look. With a single notebook, you can rid the country of this evil? So since you have this ability, why don't you go to Shanhaiguan to deal with the Liao thieves? Why don't you go to Shanxi and solve Li Chuang first across the Yellow River? What kind of skill is it just to play tricks on this imperial palace?

Tan Chery and Luo Mingzu, who were in the military attache team, were about to laugh while holding the wat board. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make some over-the-top moves in this solemn court, I was afraid that these two would laugh.

"There are many people who advocate moving south, and they are all the same heresy, how can they only participate in Liang Guogong, why not? It's obviously a friend, so let's not investigate. The angry Zhu Youzhen tried his best to suppress his emotions, controlling the urge to pull the guy out of front of him and kill him.

"Now the capital is equipped with foreign aid, and there is nothing to rely on, and the only one who is afraid is the capital city." Chongzhen burst out of his teeth to tell the truth, making a final effort for his idea of moving south.

"Fang Jin's country is in turmoil, the people's hearts are in danger, the emperor is the lord of China, and he should guard China; If you are Zhaomin's parents, you should take care of Zhaomin; For the main temple of the mausoleum, it should be the temple of the mausoleum; And Zhou Ping and Song Gao's ugly plans are not unheard. However, Guang Shiheng did not hesitate to fight back against Chongzhen's weak and pale efforts with more righteous and stern rhetoric.

What does that mean? In human terms, your majesty, everyone else can go, but you can't go, your ancestral grave is here, if you want to keep your ancestral grave, you have to stay here. If you leave, you will be the same as King Zhou Ping and Song Gaozong!

"The minister risked death today. Originally, he knew the thunderous catastrophe that angered Long Yan. However, the emperor can only insist on the righteousness of serving and dying. After scolding Chongzhen, he added a sentence, "I know that after I say this, you will hold back and clean me up." But if I don't say that, I'm not a loyal servant. You'll take care of the rest. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Fearing that Chongzhen was not disgusting enough, Li Banghua, the leader of the mouth cannon in the DPRK and the imperial history of the left capital, stood up to express support for Guang Shiheng's behavior. "The emperor should naturally guard the society. Back then, Chengzu was to guard the border with the respect of the Son of Heaven and calm Hu Chen. His Majesty can order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country, and at the same time divide the king of Ding and the king of Yong in the southeast of Taiping, Ningguo and other mansions. ”

"I haven't been able to make money in the world for more than ten years, what have my brothers and children done? Mr. has long talked about the strategy of war and defense, and there is no need to say anything else. ”

Li Banghua's idea was immediately and completely rejected by Chongzhen.

Letting the crown prince Zhu Cihong go to Nanjing to supervise the country is completely inconsistent with Zhu Youzhen's intentions. Because if this method is implemented, Zhu Youzhen will still not be able to escape his life; Even if there is a blessing from heaven, King Qin's soldiers arrived in time to defend the capital division and the crown prince in Nanjing, maybe the old drama of Tang Suzong's ascension to the throne will be repeated.

At that time, he Zhu Youzhen was even worse than Li Longji, who returned to Chang'an from Chengdu and sealed the first soldier in Fengxiang.

"Your Majesty, you can order the prince to raise the army in Nanjing in advance, summon the Jiangnan army and horses to assemble and stand by, and wait for the holy driver in Jiangbei!" Shoufu Chen Yan also came out to help, trying to get along with the mud from the middle. Let the crown prince Zhu Cihong go to Nanjing as soon as possible.

As long as the crown prince arrived in Nanjing, they were sure that he would become a generation of virtuous monarchs. Their intention was clear, ostensibly to avoid running out of eggs under the nest, even if Beijing was occupied by the Dashun army, Zhu Youzhen's son could inherit the unification in Nanjing.

"Gentlemen, I almost can't remember." The look on Chongzhen's face softened slightly, "For the sake of the prince's southward imprisonment, and also for rewarding soldiers and motivating heroes." The Celebrant and the Cabinet will draw up the will and immediately make it clear to the world. Acting Governor of Shandong, Denglai and other places of soldiers, horses, money and food, Taiwan's military Beidao, Liang Guogong's son Li Huayu is loyal to the country, diligent, and very gratified. He was crowned as the Marquis of Linqing, and he led all the military horses in Jiangbei! (To be continued.) )
