The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

April is drizzling and the weather is cold and wet, and it is generally not a pleasant day.

But everyone in the Governor's Mansion was an exception, and everyone hurriedly walked in and out in the light rain, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. Because, everyone sees a new atmosphere of vigorous development.

Especially Qin Haoming, who has been very relieved recently, has always had a smile on his face.

Everything is on the right track, and good news comes from time to time from the Smelting Bureau and the War Bureau. And the newly opened Daming Bank is full of endless fighting spirit.

In just ten days, it has absorbed 13 million deposits, and it is still growing. This is still the case where some maritime merchants are dissatisfied with him, or some people are waiting and seeing.

The affluence of the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River can be seen from this.

Of course, part of this is due to the Governor's Mansion and the soldiers of Zheng Zhilong Group, and as their bosses, the soldiers naturally trust them. Because, they all sent it.

Seeing that the light rain was sparse outside, Qin Haoming called Yan Yingyuan and walked towards the outside of the governor's mansion.

Yushan Restaurant is not far from the Governor's Palace, a quarter of an hour's walk.

Today, it is the most famous restaurant in the vicinity, famous in Fujian, and is the designated place for the governor's palace to entertain distinguished guests.

The whole restaurant is magnificent, luxurious, and not inferior to those restaurants in the capital, and even surpassed.

It is difficult for ordinary people to have a feast in the restaurant, especially the high-end seats, where the minimum consumption of each person must be above 100 taels.

The consumption in the lobby outside is not a few, and it is just a common thing to eat a meal to eat the income of ordinary people for a year, and it has become an unattainable symbol for ordinary people.

Today, Yushan Restaurant is even more lively, for no other reason, because the Governor invited Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu to invite the Jiangnan talents he recruited from everywhere for him.

When Qin Haoming came, the restaurant was already full of two tables of people, and there was not a single celebrity in Fujian, all of them were all young people, and the oldest would not be forty years old!

"Governor Qin, fortunately, I am not dishonored, all the talents you said have been invited, this is Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun......

Before you came, Qiandu talked to them about some of your political initiatives and reasons, and you need to solve your doubts...... Haha......"

Qin Haoming came over, everyone stood up and called Qin Duhao, and Zhang Pu introduced people to Qin Haoming one by one. It's just that when Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun were introduced, I had some doubts in my heart.

Today's people are all Junjie from Jiangnan, only Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun, one is a warden of Jiangyin, and the other is a teacher of Jiangyin, compared with others, it seems that they are a little unmatched.

But thinking of his usual whimsical style of doing things, I was a little relieved.

"Good good ......"

Every time Zhang Pu introduced someone, Qin Haoming laughed and applauded loudly, and even patted the other party's arm, as if he was extremely familiar.

At the end, he beckoned them to sit down, not to be restrained, and stood by himself and said:

"You are all young and handsome people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this time the governor is here for no other reason, that is, to get to know all the famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, and I hope to get your ......help in the future."

When he had finished speaking, one of the young men stood up and replied, "Your Excellency the Governor, it is indeed a lifelong honor for you to invite us and others to a banquet in person.

Lord Qin is a famous general in all directions, and he killed the Jiannu Tartars in Gyeonggi and the grasslands, and fled in the wilderness, this feat can be compared with Grandpa Qi, and it is a tight ...... admired by students and others."

"Yes, yes, Qin Du is powerful in all directions, the famous general of the world, don't let the sages!"

"Governor Qin is benevolent, it's a blessing for us to raise a son......"

……

As soon as the young man's voice fell, the voices of flattery around him surged like a tide, and there were many people who were slapping horses!

"Governor Qin, student Gu Yanwu has something to ask, if it is inappropriate, please forgive me!"

In the midst of the compliment, a discordant voice rang out.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, a young man stood in the crowd, his face was calm, his tall and thin figure looked outstanding, the leader of the entire young scholar, Gu Yanwu!

"Well, if you have any questions, just ask......"

Qin Haoming kept smiling and replied calmly.

There is always something different about talent, and today, he is also ready.

"Lord Qin Du, the student wants to ask you, now that the livelihood of the Ming Dynasty is withering, it is the time to recuperate, why do you still instigate the emperor to increase the commercial tax? Isn't this a disregard for the lives of the people?

It's really against the way of governing the country! ”

"Brother Ningren!" Qin Haoming's tone sounded faintly.

Gu Yanwu's face changed, there was a difference between respect and inferiority since ancient times, although he was not a pedantic person, but Qin Haoming, as a dignified second-grade governor, actually called himself a brother, which made him a little unacceptable.

He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Governor, the student really doesn't dare to be, you can just call the student by name." ”

Qin Haoming shook his hand, signaling that it didn't have to be like this, and said with a smile:

"Look at your age, I am afraid that you are about to reach the age of establishment, a few years older than the Governor, who has always respected your learning and character, and respects you as a brother, which is the right thing to do."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Qin Haoming continued: "You said that now that the people's livelihood is withering and it is the time to recuperate, it is true, you should indeed rest with the people."

However, how to rest? How to rest? Who to rest? Who will continue to pay taxes? What are your insights? ”

Gu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Qin Haoming would ask back, and asked a few questions in a row!

"This ......"

Gu Yanwu's face turned red, and he replied unconfidently: "Governor Qin, since it is to recuperate, it is natural that the people of the Ming Dynasty have been stained with rain and dew, and the emperor's grace is vast, how can it target a certain person?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Qin Haoming laughed loudly and replied: "Brother Ningren, your answer is wrong, I don't know if you have read the article that the governor originally gave to the emperor?" ”

Gu Yanwu nodded.

"Now that you have read it, you should know very well that the edict proposed by this governor is, first of all, to exempt the peasants from taxes.

Why should peasants be exempted from taxes?

Very simply, because the peasants' lives are the hardest, the Central Plains has been in drought year after year, and some places in the south of the Yangtze River have been hit by rain and floods, and the peasants have worked hard to grow grain for a year, but they can't even eat enough, of course, they have to see tax cuts!

If we don't reduce taxes for them and let them live, then we, the parents, might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes! ”

Hahaha......

All the students at the table laughed one by one when they heard Qin Haoming's slightly humorous answer, this Qin Governor did not reject people thousands of miles away like other officials, but he was very friendly.

"You also know that the traitors in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Jin provinces have been repeatedly exterminated, why?

The famous ministers and generals in the court have mobilized one after another, and there are no less than five or six hundred thousand rebels who have been exterminated alone, so why are there still peasant rebellions and have become reckless?

Isn't it because you don't have food to eat and can't live? If we don't reduce taxes for the peasants, there will be more people who follow the traitors to rebel, just like this weed, the wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again! ”

Everyone nodded one after another, although they are all scholars who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, but this truth is still very easy to understand, the so-called officials force the people to rebel, and they have to rebel, which is obvious.

"In that case, why do you want to increase the merchant tax? Isn't it true that if the peasants work hard, the merchants don't work hard? ”

Gu Yanwu then asked, this was his point.

For Daming's commercial tax, or reflection, he has always been worried.

I feel that doing this is a huge blow to the businessmen, I can't see the emperor, this time I met Qin Haoming, the initiator, how could I miss it?

Qin Haoming smiled slightly and said, "Presumably, everyone present also has this idea in their hearts, right?" ”

Everyone nodded one after another, but there were many rich children among them, and they looked at them with solemn faces and listened carefully.

"First of all, what the Governor wants to say is that this tax must be levied! Why?

Because, let's not mention that the imperial court needs to support officials, need to provide relief to disaster victims, and need to build water conservancy, that is, the three salaries of this pass are a lot of money every year.

The court has no money, what can we do to suppress these traitors?

Every time these traitors capture a city, they will plunder the local tycoons, wealthy merchants, landlords, and old wealth, and the people are even more miserable, can we sit idly by?

The imperial court has no money, what can it take to resist the invasion of the Manchurian Tatars?

You have to know that once the Jiannu Tartars penetrate deep into the interior, then what we are facing is not as simple as changing the dynasty?

The emperor takes turns to do it, and next year to my house!

This seat is for people with great virtue, only the Son of Heaven has it, and it can bring peace and contentment to the common people, and whoever does it is the same.

But if the Manchurian Tartars occupy our country, it will not be a change of dynasty, but the extinction of the dead race, and our descendants of Yan and Huang may even lose the ancestral tablet!

As soon as Qin Haoming's words fell, the whole room was in turmoil.

Because Qin Du's words are too shocking, let's not talk about anything else, just the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year, once such words are spoken, it will be a great rebellion, a felony of raiding the house and destroying the door!
