CHAPTER XXXI

The quickest way to solve a problem is not to find the root cause of the problem, but to directly solve the person who found the problem.

Blocking Wang Feng from making headlines...... No, it's the best way to cover up the big news, it's to make a bigger story.

The former is called whitewashing Taiping, and the latter is called Wei Wei to save Zhao, not to mention the people in the information explosion society more than 500 years later, even the bureaucrats in this year are also very familiar, so when Yang Shangjing suddenly started this set, Huang Cheng became the county ...... He panicked.

"County Zun, I'm afraid that it's not okay to stir up the teachers like this?" Huang Cheng gritted his teeth, walked up, and said respectfully, that attitude, how well-behaved you are, how respectful you are, as docile as a rabbit, "Now is the time to be busy with farming, and if you bring so many Qianshou here, I'm afraid you will miss the farming time." ”

Yang Shangjing looked at him, just smiled, I was so obedient and didn't make a little stumbling for me, I could still be forced to be desperate to drum up such a big news? Your own death will be borne for me.

So Yang Shangjing smiled and shook his head: "Huang County is in a hurry, you need to know that you have to combine work and rest, these villagers gathered to see the excitement, presumably they have been doing farm work for a long time, and they are tired and need to relax. ”

Hearing this, not to mention Huang Cheng, it was these old farmers who were trapped and couldn't move all scolded their mothers in their hearts, an old farmer with a wrinkled face, dark and dry skin, who looked to be more than seventy, but in fact should be less than fifty, knelt down for Yang Shangjing: "Lord Qingtian, we still have a lot of farm work to do, hurry back, you are gracious, let us go to work!" ”

If you don't kneel, it's not okay, it's the right thing to run away, and after a while, this new young county lord really starts to check the population thoroughly with the yellow book, then it's too late.

The smile on Yang Shangjing's face was as warm as the warm sun in winter, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to be like this, the official has just taken office, and he also studied the sage books hard in his early years, and he is still not very familiar with this agricultural matter. “

Sighing, Yang Shangjing looked ashamed: "I think my Ming Dynasty is based on farming, Emperor Taizu Gao's affairs in the world, even if the government affairs are busy, he has also worked personally, not forgetting to be sympathetic to the people, this county is in charge of a county, is the parent official of a county, but he has never worked personally, since he is here today, this old man will explain the key points of farming and cultivation for this official." ”

After saying this, Yang Shangjing didn't look at other people's expressions, but raised his head and shouted loudly: "Come on, go to the city to find a shop, get some tea and snacks and the like, today the official will have a good chat with this old man, by the way, get more dim sum, the children under the age of ten in this township, one person will always have one or two pieces." ”

After saying this, he also reached out and took out a bag of copper coins from his arms, and threw it directly to a servant who stepped forward in response, and carefully advised: "Don't be, we are ordered by the emperor to govern a county, we must not disturb the people, buy some things, the silver money must always be enough, if the money is not enough, first owe it on credit, and then report it to the official, and do not go to the house. ”

The official "sigh", turned around and went, Huang Cheng's face was dark, don't care about the bitterness of the people who are eating in the fields haha how to scold Yang Shangjing now in his heart, but this matter falls on the official pen, then it is a model of diligent government and love for the people, and imitate Taizu, not to mention their petty officials, even the emperor has to shout praise when he sees it, respect the old and love the young, be diligent and love the people, abide by the ancestral teachings, and distinguish between public and private, these four things are combined, and it is proper that there are four bureaucrats of feudal imperialism with Ming characteristics.

Just when Huang Cheng didn't know what to say with a black face, Yang Shangjing didn't forget to turn his head and feed him a mouthful of: "Huang Xiancheng, if the county does this, there will be no risk of disturbing the people, right?" ”

So Huang Cheng could only bend over and compliment perfunctorily: "The county respects the diligent government and loves the people, which is really a model for my generation." ”

Yang Shangjing glanced at him, twisted his head to the gang, and began to talk to the dark-faced old man about farming, and said in his heart that at the level of your posture, you still want to run after pretending? Now the white-skinned children of Europa are still kneeling and calling the Turks dad, Hong Kong is still a deserted village, and there is not even a reporter, who do you learn to run with? I'm making big news here, and you're not being taught life experience every minute?!

When did the official population on paper begin to skyrocket in the feudal era?

Of course, it's the spicy one who is not spicy in the TV series, and the fourth elder brother Yongzheng Emperor who looks a little stupid is engaged in spreading the land into the mu and stipulating that "the new population will never raise taxes", before that, in addition to all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there is also the saying of "poll tax", adult men have to pay taxes, and ordinary people can't afford or don't want to pay this tax, but they all like to have more children and more blessings, so what should I do?

Of course, it's hidden, in a family of five or six babies, one for the second and third, or four for the first brain, it's possible, anyway, everyone is digging in the ground in the disaster year, and the population mobility is almost equal to zero. As for the hukou in order to go to school nearby...... Who cares about those two poll taxes who can read books these days?

This kind of thing, the imperial court is expressly forbidden, but everyone is doing it, and the local Lizheng and village elders will turn a blind eye, even if they do this, they are all mud legs, so they are neighbors, right? As long as you don't get caught by the government, it's over.

Over time, the magistrates turned a blind eye, so that many times, everyone thought this was the default unspoken rule, so when Yang Shangjing took out the yellow book to check the population, the yellow CD was dumbfounded - usually it's okay, it's good to go directly to the mountains and hide when you encounter the census, but now the farm is busy, the No. 1 Xiaoer and the No. 2 Xiaoer have to work in the field, and there is an errand of the government on the side, which is really nowhere to run!

Tian Mu is the unspoken rule and bottom line of the scholars, but the people are not, the anger of the scholars can be splashed with blood in five steps, but what hides the mouth of the Ding is the mud legs, that is, the wrath of the puff, the wrath of the puffer...... Grab the ground with your head.

Of course, Huang Cheng would not be stupid enough to think that Yang Shangjing did this for these two head taxes, he understood that this was pointing the finger at Liu Qi, the chief bookkeeper in charge of the yellow book of household registration, as long as Liu Qi obeyed or was taken down, his power in the county would be directly gone, and then he would want to break hands with Yang Shangjing? Dream about it! Even if there are townsmen in the back, it won't work!
