Zhao Ziming straightened his clothes and stepped into the lobby, only to see that there was an old man sitting on the Eight Immortals chair in the hall, wearing a red robe and python suit, and drinking tea on the case, and beside the old man stood a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet peacock complement official uniform.

Zhao Ziming didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked a few steps forward and knelt down on his knees and bowed: "Zhao Ziming, the grass people in Nanyang, knock to see the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong, I wish my emperor long live and longevity, nine thousand years old forever healthy, nine thousand years old immortal blessings forever, longevity and Tianqi!" ”

Hearing Zhao Ziming's nondescript congratulations, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, and then laughed and said, "Get up, the monkey cub is also clever." Who taught you this? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziming got up from the ground and peeked up, only to see Wei Zhongxian's fair skin, big eyes and wide mouth, and his face was full of wrinkles.

Wei Zhongxian asked Zhao Ziming naturally not to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Nine thousand years old loyal to the country, widely benevolent government, Ze is born by the world, every time my father and grass people talk about it, they all say that nine thousand years old have great righteousness in mind, and it is my Ming Optimus Pillar Stone." Now, I have the east outside the Ming Dynasty, there is a rebellion in the southwest, the court on the Gong is a party and a private person, vegetarian food corpse there are, only 9,000 years old heart of the country, all day long, rejecting the border troubles, inside Li Shu, it can be said that I am the music of the court, although the grass people turn into outsiders, but the admiration of the nine thousand years old in the heart, but like the surging river is endless, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control, today here to admire the nine thousand years old face, it is really the honor of the grass people's life, it will be burned incense to worship the ancestors, Thanks to the yin virtue accumulated by the ancestors. Nine thousand years old asked, the grass people did not dare not answer, the grass people said, every sentence from the bottom of their hearts, no one else instigated. ”

"your grandma! Could it be that there is such a thing as sycophant in this world? Cui Chengxiu, who was standing beside him, was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Talent! This rabbit cub dared to use it with a broken drawing, and we thought he was a fool. Now it seems that it's hard to say if you're a fool, this cheeky four words are the right number, but our family needs this kind of shameless talent! ”

Wei Zhongxian has his own unique employment standards, and Zhao Ziming's flattery is indeed right for his own thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Monkey cub, don't talk about the whiskers and horses, but you can tell me what kind of benevolent government our family has." ”

When he first heard Zhao Ziming say that he was born by the world, Wei Zhongxian was almost angry, and even suspected that Zhao Ziming was a madman who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Thinking about it, Zhao Ziming can say this, and he will not be untargeted, so he asked at this time.

Zhao Ziming bowed his hand again, his face showed indignation, and said: "Nine thousand years old for the country and the people can be said to be exhausted, but now, some young people are wantonly attacking the nine thousand years old to restore money, collect business taxes, and mine taxes. Nowadays, Donglin Confucianism always says that the ancestral system cannot be violated, and the imperial court can compete with the people for profit, and the reason is just for self-interest and damage to the public. Just imagine, this business business, the small people of Shengdou are generally unable to operate due to the limitation of assets, and most of the people who can operate this business are rich families, and the hundreds of people in my dynasty are not more than five, but they have eighty percent of their wealth. Let's ask, those who are gentry do not pay food, and those who are rich and noble do not pay taxes, can the court expenses only be borne by Li Shu? Could it be that the rise and fall of my Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with this gentry and businessman? Nine thousand years old, the current policy strategy is rational in the world, and it is in line with the hearts of all the people, and the grass people admire it to the extreme. As far as the grass people know, Taixi has a small country of red hair (the Netherlands), the land of this country is narrow, not as good as the land of my Ming Dynasty, the population is sparse, and it is not as good as the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a country based on commerce and trade, and there are more than 15,000 sea ships of all kinds in the country, and the imperial court of the country only collects taxes from the sea trade every year, not less than two million taels of silver. Nine thousand years old business tax benefit the country and the people, the merit is in the future, and in line with the current world trend, it is vigorously promoted, but there are always ill-intentioned people malicious slander, just like the Donglin party leader Li Sancai and the like, seemingly upright, in fact, greedy, hypocritical, insidious, domineering villain, grass people every time they think and have a desire to theorize with it in public, expose this fang's face, how to do it, the grass people at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, people are soft-spoken, even if they have the heart to scold the thief, they can't do it. Fortunately, today to be 9,000 years old, the grass people were able to tell their feelings, it day the grass people found the mansion, and they should be enshrined in the house for the 9,000-year-old ancestral hall, and the morning and evening sacrifices were made, praying for the blessing of the 9,000-year-old immortals to enjoy forever, and the longevity of the day! ”

Wei Zhongxian was born in poverty, and after marrying a wife and giving birth to a daughter as an adult, he entered the inner hall in the way of his own palace, and it can be said that he had a deeper understanding and understanding of the social evils at that time (the description of Wei Zhongxian in the "Jade Mirror New Tan" written by the Ming people is: act fairly, and be rich in others for every sting, and everyone praises him). At this time, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and above the court, he suppressed the Donglin party members everywhere, although Li Sancai was idle at home because of his defeat in the party struggle, but the call for recovery was very high (the Li family was the general leader of the merchants in Tongzhou, and the position in the Grand Canal business circle was very important, and the Li family's property was as much as 4.7 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to the financial income of the imperial court for a year during the Apocalypse).

Li Sancai firmly opposed the imposition of commercial taxes during the Wanli period, and spread rumors that the reason why the Wanli Emperor did not participate in the sacrificial activities to be held after every disaster was not because of his leg disease, but because he was busy sitting and loving every day.

In 1956, due to the needs of archaeological work, under the proposal of experts and scholars such as Wu Han and Guo Moruo, and with the approval of Premier Zhou Hulai, the archaeological excavation of the tomb of the Wanli Emperor was carried out. Among them, there are a series of diseases such as spinal deformity, S deformity, severe arthritis of the hip joint, and a difference of six centimeters in the length of the legs.

Li Sancai said in the recital he wrote to Wanli: "Your Majesty loves pearls, the people also love food and clothing, Your Majesty loves your children and grandchildren, and the people also love their wives and children." But why do you worship wealth and bribery, so that the people have no peace overnight? "In our opinion, if the people here are changed to hundreds of officials, it should be the most appropriate. Li Sancai relied on malicious rumors to slander the emperor and propagate the rhetoric that the imperial court must not compete with the people for profit, and won a reputation for himself as a direct admonition.

Unfortunately, after Wei Zhongxian came to power, he implemented a policy of increasing taxes as much as possible without affecting the livelihood of peasants. In this way, the bitter lord naturally became scholars, gentry, and wealthy merchants, such as Li Sancai and others, and they had no choice but to become Wei Zhongxian's natural enemies (Li Sancai ranked first in "Donglin Party Point Generals", and was called the Marshal of the Founding Mountain, and the King of Tota).

Zhao Ziming's protagonist's aura protector, every word said to Wei Zhongxian's heart, and he was nine thousand years old.

"Haha, well said, well said! Well said! Wei Zhongxian never expected Zhao Ziming to have such a statement, and praised him excitedly.

That's the theoretical basis! The next time you dare to say that our family is tyrannical and competing with the people for profit, our family will give you a hat of bullying and filling your pockets.

Cui Chengxiu also agreed with Zhao Ziming's remarks in his heart. But when he heard that Zhao Ziming asked Wei Zhongxian for an official position and a house without any scruples, Cui Chengxiu was still shocked by Zhao Ziming's shamelessness.

"your grandfather, if you want an official or a house, you can figure it out if you want a house! It seems that we will meet an opponent in the future. Thinking of this, Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but secretly watch out in his heart.

Speaking of which, Cui Chengxiu and Li Sancai are also rivals, Cui Chengxiu suffered Li Sancai's big loss in the early years when he was the governor of Huaiyang.

When Li Sancai was the governor of Huaiyang, he paid 1.8 million taels of silver to the imperial court salt tax every year, and later Cui Chengxiu succeeded him as the governor of Huaiyang, and the annual salt tax paid to the imperial court reached 2.5 million taels of silver.

What are you Cui Chengxiu doing! The imperial court can't attract a mere two million taels of salt every year, and each tax is only six taels and four cents of silver, and theoretically speaking, the taxable silver is only 13.28 million taels, and you Cui Chengxiu can collect 2.5 million taels of silver if you don't levy it violently?

As a result, Cui Chengxiu was reported by the Donglin Party member Du Shi Gao Panlong for stolen goods, and was dismissed by the imperial court and awaited disposal.

The unlucky Cui Chengxiu, in desperation, had to defect to Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, kowtow and weep, begging for his adopted son. It's just a loss of the face of the world's readers.
