Although Li Shouhan has not yet made one hundred and eight dishes per meal, one dish after another is listed in front of him, what cold meat and hot stir-fried dishes and dim sum, etc. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but most of them are exhibits that I don't know how much time they have taken to make. He was extremely disgusted with this kind of red tape, and he had already strictly forbidden it on his one-third of an acre.

"Don't want Lao Tzu to be that kind of wronged boss! Let Lao Tzu eat dishes that are comparable to museum exhibits, and they are almost soaked in formalin! Then you are fishing a lot on Lao Tzu's food expenses! "That's what he thinks in his heart. However, in order to save food costs, the dish structure of four dishes and one soup will not be invented in advance.

Therefore, as a person who pursues food enjoyment very much, whether it is in the garrison period or in the era of Ning Yuanbo, or now Liang Guogong, who is above 10,000 people under one person, he has an extremely capable chef team around him. According to the regional environment and the characteristics of the ingredients, he can make dishes that meet the tastes of Li Shouhan and his family members and concubines covering all directions.

If it weren't for these chefs to take up a full set of skills, the two women in front of Li Shouhan, Li Zhenli and Ao Lei Yilan, one is a Jiangnan beauty, born in the beautiful Jiangnan, and the emphasis is on not getting tired of eating. One is the butter of the Northland, growing in the forest, sea and snow fields between the white mountains and black waters, and for the way of eating, it has always been good for a large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat. How can you eat at one table in harmony?

In front of you, roe deer tails, seafood mixed.

Although there are not many dishes, the cooking is very delicious. Let everyone nod and approve of Jiangnan food like Li Zhenli, and it will rain like rain, which naturally makes Ao Lei Yilan smile.

Hearing Xianggong's question, Li Zhenli put down the ivory chopsticks very elegantly, gently stretched the greasy corners of her mouth with an embroidered silk handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and rinsed her mouth gently. Only then did he raise his head and look at Li Shouhan, who was sitting on the throne: "Because of what?" It's not because of you!? Your good subordinate Cha Baidi has only moved their skins, but your methods have moved their bones and bones, and even cut off their offspring! ”

Ao Lei Yilan, who was holding a deer leg in her hand and gnawing on it, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and was very puzzled: "Sister, why did Xianggong hurt whose muscles and bones?" If you hurt your muscles and bones, pay some money for the medicine! ”

"I moved their bones? Cut off their offspring? "Li Shouhan was also made a little foggy by Li Zhenli." My good sister, don't play dumb riddles, say it! Whoever wants to trouble the prime minister, first ask me if my knife and firearm will agree! Ao Lei Yilan put down the deer leg in her hand, wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her robe proudly, opened her eyes, and replied nonchalantly.

Li Zhenli no longer went around in circles, just lightly opened her lips and recited a passage fluently: "The people are not bitter and miscellaneous, if the law is not established, the officials will not be afraid, and if the officials are not afraid, the people will be uneasy." Lu Yan Shu's loss, the court knows about it, and it can be difficult to become thrifty. The matter of royalty taxation, the small people know about it, and they can stop the invasion of fishing. Adjudicator, a quasi-Wanli law, Chongzhen since the strict and skillful, as far as possible to get rid of it, for a generation of programs. ”

This is the regulation of Li Shouhan after inviting the Son of Heaven to Hongguang, and issuing the regulations of the world with a holy decree. Officially, it means that all the standards for the collection of money and grain are in accordance with the standards of the Wanli period. In the "Cases" promulgated in the first year of Wanli, it is clearly stipulated: "Each patrol according to the Tuntian Yu Shi Fan patrol to the place, that is, to check the local princes of the palace Qin gave the grain land to the original acres, and the gold book is transferred to grind the right, and the fruit is different, that is, it is an encroachment and dedication, and the land is quickly changed to naturalization, and the grain is paid as an errand." ”

"Cha Baidi, although he is notorious, is a lackey raised by your subordinates. In the eyes of the wealthy families in Jiangnan, the people in Shilin, he is just relying on the minions you gave him to carry out your will in various parts of Jiangnan. ”

The tax rate in Jiangnan has always been very low - 30 tax 1, compared with the poor peasants in Shaanxi, Henan, Zhili, Shandong, and Huguang, this tax rate is really negligible. In the Qing Chengming system, the preferential exemption rights of the gentry still existed before the first year of Yongzheng, that is to say, under the premise of the super low tax rate of 30 taxes and 1, the gentry can also be exempted according to the standard of the Wanli period. The imperial court gave such a preferential policy, how did the officials and gentry reciprocate? Their reward is actually very simple, that is, Lao Tzu will not give a son!

This can be exemplified by the tea tax during the Chongzhen period of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty. In the dignified south of the Yangtze River, where tea is produced, the number of tea taxes is as high as dozens of taels! It can be seen that the tax collectors are tyrannical and violent! It can also be seen how heavy the taxes of the merchants were back then!

(A recent hot topic is that various media outlets are clamoring for the excessive tax burden of domestic private enterprises.) Among them, Wang Sangongzi's Tianze Institute even issued a report, which listed a table of tax burdens. Unfortunately, the five insurances and one housing fund for the small people in Shengdou are also included in the scope of the tax burden. According to these conscientious public intellectuals, it is only by letting private entrepreneurs have no burden on them, no social responsibilities, and only by traveling lightly can they make their own contributions to economic development. Otherwise, there is only one way left to flee and set up factories in the United States. However, they seem to have forgotten that the most combat-ready troops in the United States are not the Delta and the Green Flat Cap, but the IRS! Even the most powerful mafia godfather in American history, Al . Capone is all folded in the hands of the IRS! Are you planning to travel to the U.S. to enjoy the benefits of low taxes? A tax bureau, a trade union, can toss you a fairy to death! Do you still want to build a sweatshop like you did in China? Don't say that Foxconn's eight consecutive jumps, if there is one jump, the trade unions, public opinion, and senators can toss you to death! If the country is really in accordance with Wang Sangongzi's proposition, then it won't be long before everyone can happily see the prosperity of the late Ming Dynasty and the reappearance of the situation of the Zhongzheng Dynasty. At that time, it will really be to save the United States and save China! However, if the United States is saved, will these white-skinned pigs save China? Devils will believe it! Of course, this is not to say that the government should ignore the life and death of private enterprises, but if it still follows the previous routine, seeing the benefits of a swarm of bees, and dispersing without profits, then no matter how to reduce taxes, it will still be a dead end in the end. You can recall, from the VCD of the year to the mobile phone later, which one is not so? The profit-seeking nature of capital is determined. In fact, the government has already pointed out that it is a long-term plan to expand domestic demand along the way. It's just that, for the sake of the long run, it is necessary for the capitalists to temporarily sacrifice part of their interests, and to appease the princes internally and externally. To put it bluntly, it is to take out money to buy inside and outside. It is a pity that although decades have passed, the virtue of the capitalists at the beginning of liberation still seems to be the mainstream, so the question arises, can they be given another chance in the new era? Therefore, Wang Sangongzi jumped out and barked in various media. ）

"What? Zha Jizuo followed Lao Tzu's instructions to urge the arrears of money and grain, did he hurt their muscles and bones? Lao Tzu just acted according to the regulations of the time of the Divine Grandmaster, but he cut off the roots of their children and grandchildren? Li Shouhan also felt that the situation was a little serious, put down the wine glass and chopsticks in his hand, and just listened to Li Zhenli, who was familiar with the sophistication of Jiangnan people, explain to him.

"This is natural! The so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents! You are now the enemy of your father and those who are reading, you know? Li Zhenli spoke Jiangnan softly, speaking fast and glutinous, which made Li Shouhan a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.

"Slow down, slow down!"

"You see, as soon as you arrived in Nanjing, you welcomed the enthronement of the Son of Hongguang, which should have been Kaienke, giving the scholar a chance to enter, and then, giving amnesty to the world, exempting the accumulated money and grain, and calming the heart of Li Shu. This is the traditional practice of powerful ministers and treacherous ministers, and only if you do this will they embrace you, even if you send your ass to that dragon chair. They will also say, the way of heaven is good, the number of great qi is exhausted, and so on. But how did you do it? In addition to opening an Enke, it is to abolish the preferential exemption rules and implement the old system of Wanli Ye. This time, countless poor talents in Jiangnan were knocked out by you. Not only can you not accept the donation, but you also have to serve on an errand! This is not counting, it has to be counted from the second year of Chongzhen, and pay the arrears of money and grain! ”

Li Zhenli saw that Li Shouhan and Ao Lei Yilan looked ignorant, so she had to sigh secretly, and ordered the maid who was waiting next to her to take out her own book and take out a book from it.

"Good grandfather of that country! The slave will read these numbers to you! Li Zhenli deliberately put her voice sweet and sneering, which was enough to reach the level of more than six plus signs. Hearing this, Li Shouhan made a goosebump and fell to the ground.

"From the second year of Chongzhen to the third year of Chongzhen, Ding Yin is nine cents. From the fourth year of Chongzhen to the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Ding Yin was one cent and two cents. From the thirteenth year of Chongzhen to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Ding Yin was only two cents. Of course, according to the regulations of the preferential exemption rule, the meritorious name above the talent can also be exempted from some silver, but the preferential exemption rule seems to be only free from food and labor. But it doesn't matter, the amount of exempted from labor is converted according to the quantity of Ding, and the exempted grain is converted according to the market price of the rice in July. ”

Hearing Li Zhenli settling accounts for herself little by little with her fingers, Li Shouhan gradually sorted out the original chaotic thoughts, "How to discount?" July rice? ”

"That's right! That's the price of rice in July! At that time, when the new rice was on the market, coupled with the arrival of grain and rice in our Nanzhong River, the price of grain in the market was the lowest. Our Liang Guogong has a bodhisattva heart, and his subordinate Zha Jizuo is a patriotic official, and the natural means are not black, and the price of one stone of rice is converted according to the five-money treasury flat full pattern silver or half a silver dollar or 1000 Nanzhong Tongbao. ”

Li Zhenli's expression became a little solemn, and she was no longer the tone of the secret play between the couple and the handkerchief just now.

"Let's not forget about the places where Jiangbei is fighting, and let's exclude the places occupied by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. There are two places in Denglai in Shandong controlled by your eldest son, we don't have to talk about it. The new policy has long been forcibly implemented. Every year, I don't know how many officials and gentry and scholars curse your father and son in private! Let's follow the excerpt of the Tian Fu of the Ming Dynasty in the sixth year of Wanli, and the slave maid listed the output and Tian Fu of the areas that could be controlled under the rule of Emperor Hongguang, and read it to the grandfather of the country. After listening, you will know why these people are fighting with you! ”

"In the sixth year of Wanli, 46,696,982 mu of registered land in Zhejiang, 2,522,627 stone of grain needs to be taxed, and the average tax rate is 0.054 stone/mu; 40,115,127 mu of registered land in Jiangxi, 2,616,341 stone of grain to be taxed, with an average tax rate of 0.065 stone/mu; Huguang: 221,619,940 mu of land, 2,162,183 stone of grain to be paid, with an average tax rate of 0.010 stone/mu; Nanzhili: 77,394,662 mu of land, 6,011,846 stone of tax and grain, with an average tax rate of 0.078 stone per mu. ”

(The above paragraph is entirely factual and belongs to historical figures.) For everyone's convenience, I was lazy to use Arabic numerals. ）

"In this way, it's not too much for you to ask someone to recover the money and food that you owe! The maximum amount of grain per acre per mu is no more than 8 percent per year, which is much lower than the rent they demand from the tenants! With such a small amount of Tian Fu, they still want to drag it over and rely on it?! Tell them, don't think! Li Shouhan was a little angry!

"Xianggong, don't get angry, listen to Sister Li finish the account." Although Ao Lei Yilan didn't understand the number of fields and the tax rate of land taxes, she understood that Sister Li calculated this account for him in front of Xianggong, and there was definitely a reason for it, otherwise, Sister Li would never do this!

"If the amount is paid in full, in addition to the fraction of the annual payment (let's count it as a preferential exemption), the officials and gentry and scholars in all parts of the Jiangnan will have to pay almost 96 million stone grain! Of course, if converted into silver dollars, it will also cost 48 million silver dollars. This is still the ideal number for no one in the middle link. If the tax collectors deliberately pit these officials and gentlemen, or if they plan to buy grain and pay the field tax, and the grain merchants under your rule take the opportunity to bargain for the price, then these officials and gentlemen will not even be able to find a grave to cry! Xianggong, after listening to me finish this big set of words, can you finally understand the mood of the officials and gentry of Nanzhili? It's all about killing them! ”

"Now there are children singing ballads outside, saying that in the past it was the foundation of wealth, and now it is tired. It's about you collecting and collecting the money and grain you owe according to the situation of the field! ”

Li Zhenli had a murderous look on her face. The husband and wife are the same, although she has not officially become a husband and wife with Li Shouhan yet, but inside and outside Nanjing, who does not know her identity is the wife of the Guogong Mansion? Someone is embarrassed by Li Shouhan, isn't it that he can't get along with her Li Zhenli? What's more, among these people who can't get along with Xianggong, there are countless people who have received the benefits from Xianggong from her, so they can barely survive in this troubled world. Now for his own selfish interests, he turns his face ruthlessly and is embarrassed against his father-in-law. Isn't there a damn way?!

"I see!" After Li Zhenli's incisive analysis, Li Shouhan suddenly clearly controlled the reason and purpose of these people in Jiangnan Group who made small moves in private.

Hire local ruffians to train in secret, gather the talented people who are preparing for the Enko exam, and constantly create public opinion and influence among these upcoming vested interests. "Are they going to do another Suzhou tax wave in Nanjing? It's a pity that Zhang Pu, who was restored, died, and no one can write a "Tombstone of Five" that reverses black and white with a large pen like a rafter! ”

Li Shouhan thought of the secret reports of Sima Xinyuan, Ye Qi and others, and couldn't help but have a murderous aura on his face.

The so-called tax resistance in Suzhou is not like the Shaanxi disaster victims who are angry about the high agricultural tax apportionment and rise up to resist grain. It is the violent tax resistance organized by the owners of large computer houses and large weavers in order to resist commercial taxes. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the army created a "mutiny" of soldiers to threaten the commander, and the local government by creating a "civil uprising" to threaten the government, which occurred from time to time. It is an act of organizing a sense of existence for one's own interests.

Let's ask, when the north continued to increase donations and distributions because of the anti-thieves in Liaodong and the relief of disaster victims, the rich lords in Suzhou and even the entire Jiangnan openly organized to resist taxes for their own interests.

Of course, according to the wonderful pen of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, tells the story of a eunuch persecuting Zhongliang, arousing public indignation, and the people rebelling against the eunuch and being suppressed, Zhang Pu enthusiastically eulogized the great spirit of five Changzhou citizens Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, and Zhou Wenyuan who bravely sacrificed themselves for justice.

"Otherwise, let the five people protect their leader, and they will be old under the household, and everyone will be able to subordinate to them, and they will be able to Qu Haojie and others, and they will be able to send out the sorrow of their heroes? Therefore, the rest of the gentlemen of the same society mourn the tomb of the disciples, and for the record, it is also to the great life and death of the Ming, and the weight of the husband is more important than the community. ”

Did you find anything? It repeatedly mentions the gentlemen of the same society. So, what is the Suzhou tax resistance and the notes of the tomb of the five, which is an extremely difficult and obscure text that countless candidates have memorized?

In fact, in the final analysis, it was just the Donglin party that came forward to organize the citizens (hired lumpenproletarians?) for the financiers behind them. And it's just a popular uprising.

From Zhou Shunchang, the "Zhou Gong of Tatezhou" who was the fuse, to the violent anti-French behavior that organized and led this time under the banner of justice, they were all Donglin Party members.

The "pioneers of the deeds", that is, Yang Tingshu and Wen Zhenheng, the backbone of the Ying Society who led the riot, were members of the Donglin Party. Yang Tingshu is the veteran of the Ying Society, second only to Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, Wen Zhenheng and his elder brother Wen Zhenmeng are both handsome for a while, and they are also the backbone of the Restoration Society, and the great-grandfather of the Wen brothers is Wen Zhengming, one of the famous four talents in Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, and the Wen family is extremely powerful in Suzhou.

The letter asked for a thick burial of five people, and it was the Donglin Party who "did what he did". "Please be in charge", and the "wise men and doctors of the county" who asked for a thick burial of the "five people" were "Wu Gong of Jian Qing, Taishi Wen Qiwen Gong, and Meng Chang Yao Gong". That is, Wu Yinzhi, the Taifu Temple, and Hanlin edited Wen Zhenmeng and Yao Ximeng. His Chinese Zhenmeng and Yao Ximeng were both members of the Donglin Party and the Fushe Society, and both were members of the imperial court, and both served as Japanese teachers to the Chongzhen Emperor, and Yao Ximeng was Wen Zhenmeng's nephew.

It was the Donglin Party who preserved the heads of the five people and donated money to repair the tombs.

The author of the article for the "Five People" was Zhang Pu, the founder of Yingshe and Fusha.

"Alright! Since they want to die, then Bengong will fulfill them. ”

"Let's see who has the most power of the masses at the bottom, and see whose public opinion propaganda tools are powerful!"

In the end, the five righteous men who died generously, one was the sedan chair man of the Zhou family, and the other four were excellent people, buddies, traders, etc., all of whom belonged to the bottom of the society. (To be continued.) )
