Chapter 444: Seeing and Hearing (II)
Chapter 444
The merchant looked at the merchant, and his nose was almost crooked.
With the fame and talent of his great businessman, don't say that it is a third of an acre in the south of the Yangtze River, even if he arrives in Beijing, he can still rely on a good hand of words and a few good poems to prostitute in vain, Huangyan County is a small place, and the girl's appearance may not be able to enter his eyes, and she still needs this?
Isn't that scolding him?
Shang Yan took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Xiao Ke is a prisoner, according to the laws of the imperial court, he can't go to this place of fireworks and willow lane, but he can't buy this goods." ”
As soon as I heard that this little Langjun didn't buy goods, this old man's face was not very good-looking, he provoked a pick, and he didn't say goodbye, he left directly.
What's the matter, my son-in-law is spicy and bullish, talking to you is worthy of you, and you still throw a little face?
Shang Shi waved his hand at him and stopped the person, but he sighed softly.
People's morale is like this, Huangyan County has gathered so many scholars now, it is naturally a "gathering of literary atmosphere", plus there is also a lecture on Hanlin, the people's morale is naturally high, not to mention that he is a prisoner, even if he is a jinshi who comes to the court, I am afraid that this common people will not be in their eyes.
The speed of the inspection department is really not slow, the front of a string of people, but a short time to check eighty, the merchant squinted, just watched one person by one, those inspectors of the inspection department archers can not see the anger elsewhere at all, a standard official appearance, is the merchant's money and goods up and down the move, has never been.
This is obviously not normal.
The characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are heavy agriculture and suppression of business, in other words, it is to impose heavy taxes on commerce, of course, this tax rate is not visible in the official documents, it is reflected in the various checkpoints, and a tax is drawn once after a pass, not to mention the ordinary small business, that is, the business that is exchanged for a large business, and it is generally not affordable.
Otherwise, there are so many private goods carried by the boats every year?
The magnates in the capital are still like this, ordinary small people...... Let's go after it.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, the merchant took out a small string of about fifty copper coins from his arms, stuck his head out of the window, and beckoned to the merchant: "Old man, your rouge will bring me a box of better ones." ”
The merchant's originally somewhat uneasy face instantly turned into a happy look, and he came over with a smile on his face, took out a box of rouge from it, and handed it to the window: "This son, Cheng Hui thirty Wen." ”
The merchant was not short of these money, so he simply stuffed the copper coins in his hand into the past: "There was a lot of disturbance before, and please don't be embarrassed." ”
"Young people, they can't pull their faces all the time." The merchant took the copper coin with a grin, weighed it a little, didn't count it, pretended to be chic and put it into his arms, showing the cunning of the peasant, and then picked the pick and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Shang Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Ke has just arrived in your land, but he doesn't understand the market, and he hopes that the old man will solve his doubts." ”
Seeing that the merchant stopped his pace, the merchant then asked: "Xiao Ke looked at the inspection department in other places to set up cards, and the people who stopped him were all depressed, lest they be drawn taxes, why did the checkpoint in Huangyan County not see any complaints from the people who came and went?" ”
As soon as the merchant heard this, he laughed: "Childe, this doesn't know the market, now all the taxes in Huangyan County are collected by the Public Security Department, even if the Inspection Department has the right, they don't dare to grab meat in the mouth of the Public Security Department, that is the yamen personally arranged by Yang Shaozhan." ”
"Sheriff's Division? What kind of yamen is this? How many products does the chief officer have? The first time I heard this term, I didn't turn my mind a little.
"This is our unique yamen in Huangyan County, the household room and the criminal room are jointly managed, and the manpower is said to be counted in the third class of officials, and the head of the inspection department is not a grade, and the foreign officials are not counted, and it is similar to the head of the fast class, but the commercial tax and shop security in the entire Huangyan County are under the control of this public security department." The merchant said with a smile.
There was a look of enlightenment in Shang Chen's eyes, this Yang Shangjing and Yang Shaozhan matter, although his strength was greater, he didn't dare to set up a private yamen behind the back of the imperial court, turned a corner, and came to a compromise.
When he was in Beijing, there were always countless rumors about Yang Shangjing, a young James, and in terms of word of mouth, it was still extremely polarized.
chatting with this merchant with a match, the two arrived in front of the checkpoint of the inspection department, the merchant honestly took out the road guide, and the person sitting under the shed looked at it, and waved it over.
When Shang Shi came out of Beijing, he naturally took the road guide, but his identity as a prisoner is different from that of ordinary households and craftsmen, and the scholar is a privileged class in the end, and he can "wander and live", so he lit up this road, and after checking the small flag, he naturally stood up and saluted, and then respectfully let him go.
I took a closer look at the dress of this little flag, and then looked at the handwriting of the little flag who lowered his head and wrote something on the case file, although he used charcoal, and the writing was not a good word, but it could also be called neat and tidy, compared to the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the ordinary low-level yamen, I really don't know where it is high.
So the merchant hesitated for a moment, didn't get into the car, strode forward, caught up with the merchant directly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, the small flag is considerable, the clothes and armor are on the body, and it is not a scholar, how did you write a handmade handwriting?" ”
The merchant was stunned for a moment, and then his face was proud: "This inspection department was originally assigned to the county government, but after the battle with the Japanese invaders last year, it was assigned to the patrol of thousands of households, and the archers of this inspection department said that they were archers, but they were all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty." ”
That's not right, the big-headed soldiers shouldn't be literate, what's so special...... Not to mention small flags, many general flags are blind, okay?
Seeing that there were doubts in his eyes, the merchant smiled and said: "Xiao Lao'er heard that in this patrol of thousands of households, up to thousands of households, down to ordinary soldiers, all of them have to read and write, and the day before yesterday, for this matter, Shaozhan seems to have cut off several heads!" ”
The business was a little messy in an instant, what is the use of the big-headed soldier reading, and he can still shout at the enemy, and directly let the other side die in shame?
However, looking at this weather-faced merchant, the merchant could only sigh, to know so much is probably the limit, and the deeper things can't be known by a merchant, just listen to it, more things, you have to go into the city to know.
