The eaves on the plaque of the "Household Department of Zhejiang Qing Officials Division" in the southeast of the household department are also covered by heavy snow.

"How much is the spring and autumn tax silver deported by the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs from the Zhejiang Political Department this year?" Jia Cong sat at the table and asked.

Wang Yinglin, the director, sighed lightly: "Jia Xiu, it's better for you not to meddle in this matter, the household department is a bad debt." ”

The director Sima Bandit Jian reported: "The Zhejiang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Household leads the Zhejiang Political Division, and manages the Beijing Imperial Forest Army, the Left-behind Army, the Dragon and Tiger Army, the Yingtian Army, and the Shangzhi Guards Hundreds of thousands of military salaries. Zhejiang is a large province in the southeast, a rich coastal land, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo, etc., rich in cotton, hemp, silk, rice can be double-cropped, the spring tax is less, 200,000, and the autumn tax is more than 1 million. ”

Jia Cong quietly pointed on the table: "I came back from several other cleaning departments yesterday, and the situation is about the same, the household department, the engineering department, the military department, the internal transportation warehouse, the internal salary department, the imperial horse supervisor, etc., the duties often overlap, this military salary is originally a matter of the military department, but it is managed by the household department's various cleaning departments. ”

"That's it." Wang Yinglin and Sima Bandit Jian nodded.

"At the beginning of our dynasty, we set up tea and horse taxes, salt tax divisions, and banknote customs, and took one out of twenty, and the richer the people became, the ban gradually relaxed, and it became one out of thirty. Taking the tea tax in the northwest and southwest alone, you can do tea and horse business, and tea is a strategic material. As for the salt class, Lianghuai, Liangzhejiang, Hedong, Changlu, Shandong, Fujian, etc. are permanent, and Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places also have well salt lifting divisions. Even if the increase and decrease of the banknote customs are different from generation to generation, Hexiwu, Linqing, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Suzhou (Hushu), Hangzhou (Beixin), and Jiujiang are roughly permanent. Jia Cong wondered.

Sima Bandit Jian hesitated and hesitated: "The thirteen officials of the household department are used to send the inner government and the inner treasury, and the three weavings of Jinling, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are also under the management of the internal affairs government, and the total number of the deliveries last year and this year is said to be more than 40 million, and the nine-sided war cost more than 10 million, and the military salaries in various places are more than 10 million, and the inner treasury is sent another 10 million, leaving 10 million ......."

It's not enough to get up and down, it's greedy for ink.

Wang Yingyuan, who is also a waiter in the household department, walked in with his back hand: "In the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth years, there were thunderbolts and fires in many places in the inner palace, the palace was rebuilt, and the concubine's birthday was often spent on one million dollars. Once the palace is repaired, the timber must be transported from Huguang and Yungui, the Yangtze River waterway and canal, and the city will be used. Elder Wang Ying smiled cunningly: "You are going to revise history in the future, what you can say and what you can't say, it's good to know the details." ”

"Elder Ge." Jia Cong and the three of them got up and saluted, Wang Yingyuan is wearing many hats, since Zhao Beidou went into the wilderness, the emperor has not issued an order to elect cabinet ministers, and the cabinet is seriously lacking, so Wang Yingyuan is a scholar of Dongge University, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and a left waiter of the household department, with a high position.

"The flood of the Yellow River is urgent, and the lower officials, as the repairers of the Hanlin Academy and the staff on duty in the West Pavilion, were ordered to inspect the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households, and their responsibilities are even more unshirkable." Jia Cong's face was resolute, and Sima Bandit Jian and Wang Yinglin secretly respected.

"Your Majesty is asking the household department for three million silver to rebuild the Daming Palace, and there are only two million in Henan, so you must be prepared for the book." Wang Yingyuan dropped a few words and left.

……

In the quiet and elegant Hanlin Academy, Jia Cong signed from the book hall, and Jiang Huajiao arched his hand and said: "Jia Xiu has to beware of beware, today's four major families in Jinling are really not worthy of the name, haha......"

Editor Pi Shixuan gloated: "Do you dare to ask for land?" Someone still has a few hundred acres in Songjiang......"

"Thank you Jiang for compiling and editing Jiyan." Jia Cong added without anger for no reason: "Jiang Xiu and Pi Xiu are the Taizhou School, the Taizhou School is developed from Wang Yangming's Xinxue, and it pays attention to the daily use of the people, which is the truth, even if Dong Fuyin's Zhedong School has a different concept from the Taizhou School, it is the same for the country and the people." ”

"Right now, the floods in the Central Plains, only two hundred taels, not enough to fill the Yellow River, my Shanhai League leader Jia Cong, want to take the bus to the book, please Your Majesty open an account and stop the palace, in order to determine the Yellow River, peace and the people, protect the world, for my great shun eternal country, what do you say?"

Pi Shixuan and Jiang Huajiao glanced at each other, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring: "If you Jia Cong dare to go to the bus to read, my Jiang Zuomeng is naturally duty-bound!" ”

Cute and hateful people, it's a pity that Jiang Zuomeng is against himself, politics, is ruthless.

……

Shenshi, outside the Zhengyang Gate coincided with the direct guards, patrol five battalions, Jinyi Wei shifts, they three days a round, each door has a duty room, except for the first and second rank minister Yang Admiral, Qiu Duwei with a silver seal, the rest with a copper seal, patrol commander and duty personnel each hold half.

Gong Dingci got off the sedan chair: "Brother Jia, won't you regret today's move?" ”

"I, Jia Cong, have no regrets." Jia Cong shook his head awe-inspiringly, at this time, Sima Kuijian, Wang Yinglin, Zhang Maocai, and Kuang Liuhe of the Jiangzuo League arrived together, and the Yan Society led by Gong Dingci had more than 100 people.

In addition, Gong Dingci and Jia Cong, the two leaders of the younger generation of Shuntianfu, issued an order, and the Shuofang Xiucai, Juren, and Jingguan who came to Xuanwumen West Market today to converge have reached thousands of people, which is vast and magnificent.

The Shanhai Book Society couldn't accommodate so many people, so many people stood quietly outside the wall, Jia Cong and Gong Dingci just got off the sedan chair, and they were pushed into the hall.

"Please open an account to set the Yellow River, protect the people, and settle the world."

"Chen Hanlin Academy repaired, the West Pavilion was on duty, and he was ordered to inspect the two departments of the workers' households, Jia Cong Qi: In the fifteenth year of this year, the Yellow River was particularly flooded, and in July, the embankment of Liangjiaying and Zhanjiadian was broken; In September, it was decided to come to Tongzhai embankment in Zhengzhou, and to break the official embankment of Zhongmuyang Bridge; In October, the decision was made to seal Dazhai and Lanyang Banqiao; In late October, the river rose sharply, collapsing the embankment and dam, and Juning, Si, Taoyuan, and Suqian were all submerged; and Kaifeng, flooded the city, shocking changes, the Huai River is not guaranteed......"

……

"Gentlemen!" Jia Cong came out of the gate of Shanhai Book Society, faced more than 1,000 people with a serious face, raised his tone, sonorous and powerful, and waved his three-foot long sleeves and said: "If the doctor dies, he will die!" An official who is willing to kneel down with someone Jia to play the book today! Please come with me! ”

"One hundred years of national care! The Feast of the Rods is today! Jia is willing to take the lead and ask His Majesty to open an account and stop the palace! ”

At that time, Yang Shen shouted the loudest slogan in the 272-year history of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, this sentence was shouted out by Jia Cong again.

The human heart is available.

Jia Cong didn't really want to die, he just used this opportunity to fight for his life.

First, as the leader of the Shanhai Alliance, he took the lead and lived up to the Shanhai Alliance, and the name of the alliance leader is well deserved. Second, although some officials who consider themselves Qingliu are prejudiced against Jia Cong, this incident will inevitably change Jia Cong's impression in their hearts. The third is the direct name, which is the most important thing.

Once Jia Cong's fame shocks the world, no matter whether this book succeeds or fails, even in the worst case, Jia's house is raided, Jia Cong can also protect himself, keep his official position and be promoted.

may suffer a temporary blow, but this kind of direct name is not only expected by the courtiers, but also when Emperor Yongle disposes of him in the future, he will have scruples.

If Jia Cong becomes a hero in the eyes of most officials, the people, and scholars, and Emperor Yongle dares to kill him, he will be a faint monarch and will be scolded by others, which makes the emperor have scruples.

Fourth, this public performance is huge, and those officials who are obviously different from modern people's values will naturally join, so that Jia Cong can also use the hands of the master of ceremonies and Jinyiwei to get rid of political enemies.

This is a conspiracy of Jia Cong, and it is also the real start of his political career.

This day is destined to be recorded in the history of Dashun and marked for thousands of years.
