said that Zhao Wenjie cried to Yan Maoqing, and the listener cried, which was moving.

Yan Maoqing and Zhao Wenhua have a very good relationship.

Now that Zhao Wenhua's brother is being bullied, it stands to reason that Yan Maoqing should stand up for Zhao Wenhui.

But there's something unusual about it.

After all, the matter involves the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Although Yan Maoqing has Yan Song's support behind him, after all, he is a newcomer, and many things are not too good before he has figured them out.

After appeasing Zhao Wenjie, Yan Maoqing motioned for him to go home first and wait for news.

Zhao Wenjie thought that Yan Maoqing had promised to help him, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly did so.

After Zhao Wenjie left, Yan Maoqing sighed and said: "The water in Hangzhou is too deep. ”

...

...

However, it was said that after Xu Yan returned to Gushan Academy, he discussed with Zongchen about the anti-Japanese war.

After Zongchen deserved to be a famous general, the theories put forward were all on point, and they were by no means on paper.

Even Xu Yan, who has a lot of knowledge in later generations, has many points that he did not expect.

Xu Yan felt that there was an opportunity to introduce Zongchen to Governor Zhu to help fight against the Japanese.

However, Xu Zhongxing was only interested in poetry and articles, and when he seized the opportunity, he had a discussion with Xu Yan.

"At that time, how did you make this life as it first saw it?"

Xu Zhongxing stroked his beard and said leisurely.

Xu Yan has made countless masterpieces, but there is nothing better than this one.

Xu Yan was a little embarrassed, how could he explain this.

"If you feel like this, you can blurt it out."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhongxing praised his head: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Come on, come on, we continue on to poetry. ”

“...”

Xu Yan was speechless.

Fortunately, Mr. Qian arrived in time to rescue Xu Yan from danger.

"Good apprentice, go with the teacher."

Xu Yanru was amnesty, and he arched his hand at Xu Zhongxing embarrassedly: "Brother Ziyu is out of company." ”

finally escaped, and before Xu Yan could catch his breath, Mr. Qian continued: "Good apprentice, that Chuchu girl recently invited the teacher to paint a pair of poems, do you want to be together?" ”

How could Xu Yan not know what his teacher meant, his old man wanted to pull him onto the thief ship!

There are two of these kinds of things, Xu Yan should have thought of it a long time ago.

Don't dwell on this kind of thing, otherwise it will be easy to say it clearly.

"It doesn't have to be, does it? Last time, the student also accompanied you for a walk. If you want to go this time, you can go. The student will not be accompanied. ”

Qian Dehong raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "What, don't you like to be a teacher?" Hey, the wings are stiff. ”

Xu Yan was speechless, it was really terrible for Mr. Qian to be disrespectful to the old.

"Look at what you always say, when the students dislike you. It's just that the student is already engaged, and if he often lingers in Fengyue places, it will inevitably cause gossip. It's not appropriate. ”

Seeing that Xu Yan took out the engagement to talk about things, Mr. Qian didn't say much, pouted and said, "That's it." If you don't want to go, it's better not to go, go for the sake of the teacher. ”

With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away.

...

...

A new broom sweeps clean.

Yan Maoqing rested for a day and then deployed manpower to start auditing the accounts.

He is not interested in coastal defense military affairs at all, and the only thing he cares about is money.

It doesn't matter if it's salt or anything else, as long as there is input, it's good.

After all, there are too many people who need to be honored above, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor, there are also Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao, if he can't collect the money, he, the governor of Zhejiang, will be able to do it.

Zhejiang is very rich, and it just happened to collect the autumn tax, and the treasury was full of collected money and grain.

Yan Maoqing naturally couldn't check them one by one, so he ordered a list to be made everywhere, and he glanced at them to make an overall grasp.

In his opinion, in addition to the part of the money and grain in the treasury that is paid to the state treasury, a part of it can also be rich.

These parts can barely be enough for the filial piety of Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao, but Yan Maoqing himself has no income.

How does this work?

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, not for making money and making money.

Yan Maoqing's pursuit of consciousness is limited to this, but he has no idea of making a life for the people.

If the money is not enough, we have to find another way.

Yan Maoqing felt that there were two aspects of work that could be done.

One is to make a fuss about fire consumption, and the other is to raise taxes.

The first is a bit too direct.

After all, fire consumption was a standard before, and it was easy to gossip when it suddenly increased.

Yan Maoqing felt that it was really a tax increase.

There are many types of taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

But roughly speaking, it is divided into commercial tax and agricultural tax.

There is nothing to say about agricultural taxes, regardless of whether to pay money or grain, they are all customized.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the land of the whole country was measured and a fish scale atlas was drawn. Later, it was re-measured during the Hongzhi period.

Now that decades have passed, Emperor Jiajing has been saying that he will re-measure after succeeding to the throne, but it has been delayed for various reasons.

The spring and autumn agricultural taxes are collected according to the fish scale atlas drawn during the Hongzhi period, and there is really no loophole to exploit.

Yan Maoqing would definitely not use his brains about agricultural taxes unless he was crazy.

As for commercial taxes, it's very different.

There are many types of commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty, but in general, the tax is very low, which is one out of ten.

In this case, the government at all levels will try their best to eat and take the card, and the actual commercial tax is close to ten taxes and five taxes, which can be described as a heavy tax.

Zhejiang is no exception.

Naturally, Yan Maoqing did not intend to add a new type of tax under the name of a clever name, but planned to use stereotypes and bad habits to raise taxes.

It's just that he can't handle Governor Zhu's part in it, after all, he can't take more than Governor Zhu.

So he hinted to the county household, but the feedback he received was a big surprise to him.

It turned out that Governor Zhu didn't make any money from it!

Is there such a person in the world?

At first, Yan Maoqing didn't believe it.

Thousands of miles to be an official, just for food and clothing.

His surname Zhu can be an exception?

Yan Maoqing thought that these household letters were dishonest and did not confide the truth to him.

Later, Yan Maoqing listened to the news through various relationships, and the answers he got were unanimous.

Governor Zhu really didn't hold the silver!

Oh, my God!

This time Yan Maoqing made a difficulty.

It stands to reason that he can't take more money than Governor Zhu, otherwise he will violate the rules of officialdom.

But Governor Zhu didn't take a penny, what should he do if he asked Yan Maoqing?

It's really head-scratching!

Yan Maoqing naturally didn't want to offend Governor Zhu when he first arrived, but he really couldn't do it if he wanted to let him only work and not take money!

Fortunately, Yan Maoqing hired a curtain guest, and this kind of embarrassing thing can be left to the curtain guest to do.

After Yan Maoqing and the guests scratched their ears and scratched their hair, they finally gave Dong Weng a way to get the best of both worlds.

That is, he received two copies for himself and then sent one copy to Governor Zhu.

In this way, it can not only avoid the problem that he takes more than Governor Zhu, but also remind Governor Zhu not to break the rules of officialdom.

If you don't take everyone and you don't take it, don't you put everyone on the fire and roast it?
