(Thank you for the book friend "Cat Eighty-two"!) ）

Qian Yiai saw that the tax collectors of the entire Chaoyang Gate gathered at the door to welcome him, no one collected money at the door, and the caravan was far away, and the city gate, which was not wide, was even more crowded. In order to alleviate the traffic, Qian Yiyi said: "Okay, get up, you ambassador stay, the official has something to ask you, everyone else should go to work, don't delay the people into the city!" ”

With the prefect's order, others have returned to their posts to continue to charge, but in front of the prefect can not make small moves, so everyone's hearts are very painful, and it is not easy to catch up with a merchant gang into the city.

Qian Yiai is also a person who has been a county magistrate, and knows that these guys under him have a lot of gray income, and they know what the reason is by looking at their grinning teeth.

"This ambassador, you go and talk to your subordinates, how to collect and how to collect, this official knows that it is not easy for you!"

The ambassador was overjoyed to hear that the prefect was so reasonable, the Ming Dynasty officials did not have a good fortune, and they were even more so as tax collectors who guarded the door. The Ming Dynasty tax implementation is a tax package system, that is, the superior does not care how many taels of silver you collect a day, every day to set the real number, the amount is yours, not enough for you to pay out of your own pocket, so if you don't take advantage of the business to collect a little more today, these guys really don't have rice to cook!

After the ambassador made the arrangement, he came back to give Qian Yiai a gift again, and then said: "Thank you for the prefect's compassion for the little ones, the prefect is blessed with all the heavens!" ”

Qian Yiai heard that this guy still knew the idiom, and couldn't help asking, "What's your guy's name?" Have you ever studied? ”

"Back to the master's words, the villain's surname is Song, and the cheap name is Song Laosi, when I was a child, my father wanted me to study, but the villain is really not a material for reading, and when I grew up, I took over the errand of my father's ambassador and became the tax collector ambassador of Chaoyangmen!"

Qian Yiai knew that this kind of Xu officials were passed down from father to son, and the only chance to get rid of his lowly status was to study the imperial examination, but the imperial examination was to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and it would take three years for Shuntianfu to select more than 100 people.

"Song Laosi, the tax customs for tax collectors have been abolished in Nanjing, why hasn't it been implemented in Beijing?" What Zhu Hongsan is doing in the south is to eliminate arbitrary fees and apportionments in various localities and reduce the cost of doing business to a minimum. Qian Yiai is attached to the Guo County Order, although he doesn't care about the tax customs, but he also knows the law of the imperial court, why hasn't it been implemented here in Beijing?

Song Laosi's face turned white when he heard Qian Yiai say this, his family has been a tax collector here in Chaoyangmen for four generations, and now the emperor wants to cancel the tax customs, how can they live in the future!

Song Laosi knelt down for Qian Yiai with a grunt, and shouted: "Lord Prefect, you must not cancel the tax customs, our brothers have been doing it for several generations, let us do the others will not be done, more than a dozen of us are fifty or sixty people in more than a dozen families are pointing to the Chaoyangmen tax customs to live, please raise your noble hand and give the villain a way to live!" ”

When Song Laosi called this, the dozen or so tax collectors heard it clearly, they thought that the prefect was going to smash their jobs, and they all knelt in front of Qian Yiai and begged bitterly regardless of the taxes.

Qian Yiai was already smoked by the smell of Chaoyangmen and had a headache, coupled with the howl of these guys like crying and mourning, the angry Qian Yiai scolded: "Don't cry, listen to this official!" This official doesn't mean that you will have no food, but the emperor has ordered that all taxes and customs under the heavens be abolished! But don't worry, the imperial court still has arrangements for people like you! ”

These guys listened to Qian Yiai say this but didn't believe it, since ancient times, the imperial court has not cared about the life and death of their gang of officials, when Emperor Chongzhen in order to save a year of more than 100,000 taels of courier fees, he ordered hundreds of thousands of post stations across the country to be laid off, and in Shaanxi even provoked Li Zicheng to be the devil. But in this way, Emperor Chongzhen did not repent, and would rather spend a lot of effort to suppress Li Zicheng than admit that he was wrong.

So today, these tax collectors heard that Qian Yiai said that the court could still arrange jobs for them, but they didn't believe it one by one, and a few of the older ones were worried that their children and grandchildren would have no way to live, and they cried to death.

Seeing that it was like this, Qian Yiai had no choice but to say the policy he had prepared in advance, and he shouted: "Everyone, rest assured, this official is Qian Yiai, and he is the prefect of Shuntian Mansion of the emperor's special Jane, and this official promises you that he will definitely give you a way to live!" Haven't you heard what the tax collectors in Nanjing did? Nanjing Yingtianfu set up a chengguan brigade, they all went to the chengguan brigade, each of them has five silver dollars per month to receive, you will be the same as them! ”

Because Beijing has just been occupied by Zhu Hongsan, the silver taels have not been abolished, and the silver dollars and silver are circulated in parallel, but because of the beauty and durability of the silver dollar, one silver dollar can be exchanged for one or two or five thousand silver, and five silver dollars is seven taels and five dollars of silver, which is a lot of income.

Song Laosi didn't know what the Chengguan Brigade was, but he still knew that it was five silver dollars a month, and now when he heard the prefect say this, his uneasy heart eased a little.

Seeing that these guys were not calling, Qian Yiai nodded and said to Song Laosi: "Old Song, this official is going to the palace saint, you can lead the way!" ”

After entering the Chaoyang Gate, Song Laosi asked, "Master Prefect, do your family members also go to the palace?" ”

"No, you find someone to take the official's family to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and the official goes to the palace!"

On the eyelids ordered, Song Laosi did not dare to delay, and quickly asked a nephew to take the small sedan chair of the Qian Mansion and the two ladies to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion in the north of the city, and he took Qian Yiai into the city to go to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Chaoyangmen is a big granary, but when Zhu Hongsan fled Beijing, the granary here in Chaoyangmen was burned, and the Manchus did not have the energy to rebuild it after occupying Beijing, so now several granaries here in Chaoyangmen are only repaired by the Lu rice warehouse for the imperial court officials, and the others are all rubble.

Qian Yiai didn't know that this was all a good thing that Zhu Hongsan did back then, and thought it was destroyed in the war, and when he saw a warehouse with rubble, Qian Yiai thought in love: The whole Beijing is in ruins, and it seems that this Shuntianfu is not easy to do!

Song Laosi took Qian Yiai to walk Chaoyangmen Inner Street, and then turned into Chongwenmen Inner Street, passed through Dongjiang Rice Lane to the Thousand Steps Corridor, and Song Lao Si did not dare to go forward here, the front was guarded by brocade guards, and he did not dare to go to the Thousand Steps Corridor to hang around.

Song Laosi pointed to the Jiangmi Lane in front of him and said: "Master Prefect, the front is Jiangmi Lane, and out of the alley is the thousand-step corridor, the villain can't go any further, so he can only ask the master to go by himself!" ”

Qian Yiai nodded, asked the sedan chair man to stop in a secluded place, he himself changed into official clothes in the sedan chair, and then got out of the sedan chair and ran to the thousand-step corridor.

Out of Jiangmi Lane is the political center of the whole Ming Dynasty, here is the Tiananmen Square of the later generations, in the east of the Thousand Steps Corridor is the six departments, the Hanlin Academy, the Yushitai, the Dali Temple and other central departments, the west is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Jinyi Guard Command Envoy Yamen, Luan Yiwei and other military attaché yamen. This is the political center of the country, so there are brocade guards standing around it.

On duty today was a brocade guard hundred, and he saw a petty official wearing a six-grade green robe coming out of the Dongjiang Rice Alley and running towards the thousand-step corridor. You must know that this kind of six-grade petty officials are not to mention in Beijing, but in which province they are all driven with whips, in groups and groups! But this six-grade petty official just took out a look of being magnificent, if he didn't look at the official uniform, it would be like a cabinet minister.

The hundred households stepped forward to stop Qian Yiai and asked: "Wait, this official, this is the Thousand Steps Corridor, without His Majesty's holy decree or the text of the Military Aircraft Department, officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to wander around!" ”

Qian Yiai listened to the hundred households and found that he was wearing a six-grade green robe today, but there was no way, although he is now the prefect of the third grade, but he has not yet taken office, so the new official uniform has not been completed, so he can only wear the old official uniform, but Qian Yiai doesn't want to say anything more to this hundred households, and directly takes out the emperor's holy decree from his body and hands it to that hundred households.

The hundred households saw that it was a holy decree, and when they opened it, they knew that this green-robed little official was Qian Yiai, and everyone who was too familiar with this person was Jinyiwei, but they had never seen or heard of Qian Yiai's name. Nanzhen Fusi commanded the coquettish guest of Zhao Mengguan, which was not something that he could offend a small hundred households.

The hundred households were sweating profusely, and they were glad that they didn't say anything nonsense just now, and the hundred households hurriedly bowed down and said: "It turned out to be Lord Qian, who is humble and clumsy, please wait for a while, and the villain will go to report!" ”

If it is according to the normal rules, it must first go through the Department of General Administration, and then it can be reported to the emperor, but now the state organs are not following in Nanjing, so the hundred households will report the news to the Military Aircraft Department.

Yao Qisheng, the chief military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, accompanied the emperor in the palace, and now the head of the Military Aircraft Department is Chen Mingxia, the director of the Experience Division. Chen Mingxia was demoted by the emperor to the Military Aircraft Department as a walker, that is, a temporary worker, but according to Chen Mingxia's methods and knowledge, he was soon promoted to the head of the Military Aircraft Department.

Although Chen Mingxia's grade is the lowest level, this experience is too important, Chen Mingxia has mastered the document investigation, the case file is in and out, and the power in his hands is very heavy, and the promotion decree written to Qian Yiai last month was from Chen Mingxia's hand. Now that Chen Mingxia heard that Qian Yiai was coming, he applauded in his heart, and finally waited for Qian Yiai.

Chen Mingxia has a very bad reputation in history, and he can be equated with Nanming's white-faced traitor Ruan Dacheng, but Ruan Dacheng is a villain among gentlemen, and Chen Mingxia is a gentleman among villains. Although Chen Mingxia also formed a party in the Qing court for personal gain, and used his identity as a southerner to engage in political struggle with Feng Quan's northerners, although Chen Mingxia descended to the Manchu Dynasty, he still attached great importance to the Han people's clothes in his heart, or he couldn't say the sentence "Just keep your hair and regain your clothes, and the world will be peaceful"!
