vs 17 The sorrow of the Ming Dynasty
The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer
The Ming Dynasty implemented the armor protection system, with one hundred and ten households as one mile, and those who pushed more grain were the length of ten households, called the chief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ten miles is a first, and the ten miles are long in turn for one year every year, called the head of the first.
Although in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the power of the local gentry rose and their status declined. However, in the management of the local government, the chief and the head of the first place play an important role.
For example, in the local field and barren mountain transactions, hiring hired workers, etc., the chief or the first head needs to receive the deed from the county government as the transaction certificate, and is responsible for supervision, and he is also responsible for any problems afterwards.
The current lieutenant of Qinjia Village is called Qin Laosan, and if you count it seriously, he is still Qin Haoming's cousin.
Seeing Xiucaigong personally visiting, I suddenly felt honored. Instructed the mother-in-law to bring tea and pour water, and go back to the back room to change clothes to meet guests.
When a distinguished guest comes to the door, he is dressed as a farmer, but he looks shabby, which is not the way of hospitality.
"Thank you for waiting for a long time, please forgive me, I don't know what to do with the third uncle?"
Qin Laosan changed to a new straight jacket, and his waist board was also straighter. However, because he became the head of the first grade, he usually had a lot of contact with the county government Xiaoshi, and his speech was not as straightforward as other farmers.
"Third Uncle Spirit!"
Qin Haoming praised first, and then continued: "But I want to bother the third uncle to help with two things: First, the little nephew of the barren mountain near the A-shaped warehouse wants to buy it. Second, several families have recently been hired as tenant farmers. ”
Qin Haoming made it clear directly at one or two o'clock, there were no clouds and mist, what the weather was like.
"Virtuous nephew, the third uncle said something fair. Over the years, the Qin family has really owed you a lot, and the barren mountain near the A-word warehouse is about to buy words, and the third uncle is panicked! Originally, it was left by Master Qin. The old man is here today, and tomorrow he will go to the county office to find a scribe to do a household post. As for employing several tenant farmers, it is sufficient to do so at the same time. ”
Qin Laosan's three big bags take care of things on themselves, but they also have some courage.
"The little nephew thanked the third uncle for his help in advance, and I remembered it in my heart."
Qin Haoming was overjoyed when he heard this, and the place where he spent money was gone, and he could save a point. can not spend a penny, and get more than 30 acres of mountainous land for nothing, and only fools can be hypocritical. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in interpersonal relations in order to benefit others and ourselves.
He mainly wanted to connect the nearby mountain farms and turn them into private areas, so that they could justifiably avoid other snooping eyes in the future. In the current situation, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
"I don't want to show my talents, but I should do it."
The wrinkles on Qin Laosan's face seemed to bloom, and he was several years younger.
Most of the people who deal with him are village and field husbands, small officials of the county government, and most of them are vulgar and unbearable people, who are as sven as Xiucai Gong.
The original Qin Xiucai was born and people should not be close, although everyone wanted to get close, they had no choice but to do so.
Xu is an adult, and he knows things, but he is also the blessing of Qinjia Village.
Bullying the old does not bully the young, this is reasonable!
The performance of the young master of the Qin family during the Double Ninth Festival in Linpu County and what he said to Qin Xiangtian had already spread throughout Qinjia Village.
More than ten days have passed, and it is claimed that there is nothing that Qin Xiangtian can't do in Linpu County, and the county government is familiar with each other, and Qin Dian, who has always been coaxing in Qinjia Village, is helpless to show off his talents.
The festival between the two is known to the villagers of Qinjia Village, and they also understand the doorways.
The countrymen are afraid and can't afford to make trouble, and if they want to fight, we can't afford to get involved. A 19-year-old student, or the head of the Linpu case, is only one of the thousands of scholars in the entire Jianning Mansion, what is it that is not Wenqu Xingjun?
If it is Dabi High School, it will be a master, and even one step closer to becoming a jinshi, it will be an official master. Let's ask, how can a rankless Qin official fight with the official master?
Therefore, taking this opportunity to form a good fate is the most simple idea in the hearts of Qin Laosan, Qin Jiachang and the villagers of Qinjia Village.
It is quite common for a person to ascend to heaven by a chicken dog. As a villager of Qinjia Village, it is normal for such thoughts to exist, which is why Qin Laosan dares to take care of everything.
"Virtuous nephew, ask for my uncle, since you have spare money to buy barren mountains, why not buy some paddy fields and dry fields? Let the rest of the villagers contribute, exempt from some taxes, always fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, don't you also have a little harvest? It's not going to be wasted. ”
Qin Laosan struck while the iron was hot and put forward the words that the villagers of Qinjia Village had hidden in their hearts.
Since the death of Master Qin, there are no more children of the Qin family, and the family has been weakened for a long time.
Only Qin Haoming showed his talent in high school, but because of his past involvement, he wasted 80 acres of tax-free land in vain, how can this make the villagers who dig in the soil not feel sorry.
"Now there are few people's land, all of them are official fields, so the little nephew has no plans to buy land at present. But these 80 acres are donated ......"
When Qin Haoming said this, he pondered for a moment and considered his words.
"The third uncle understands that now there are not many people in Guantian except for his own wasteland."
Qin Laosan took Qin Haoming's words and said.
The tax on the land of the Ming Dynasty was light, and the vast majority of the land was annexed and occupied by the landlords and bureaucrats, so it was beneficial to the big landlords. However, the heavy tax on official land is disadvantageous to the peasants who cultivate official land.
"See if this is possible, the third uncle will arrange it, and divide it into four or six. It takes a lot of labor to get left and right, and it's good for both sides. ”
Qin Laosan was sincere, he didn't open according to the tradition of reality, and when he saw Qin Haoming saying that there was no follow-up, he thought that Xiucai was thin-faced, disdainful of words, and took the initiative to add one percent to the other party.
"No, the third uncle misunderstood. The little nephew didn't want silver taels, whether he could replace them with grain, not to mention that there were not many silver taels in the 80 acres tax. ”
Qin Haoming hurriedly opened his mouth to distinguish.
In the first year of Yingzong's orthodoxy, it was stipulated that the national tax and grain should be paid in silver, and the grain should be converted into silver and one or two in Beijing, which was called Jinhua Yin.
"Virtuous nephews, don't underestimate these taxes and silver taels, there are a lot of ways to do this, so I will give you a little bit of advice for my uncle."
Since Qin Laosan has the heart to make friends, he is afraid that Qin Hao will be less next year, and he will not understand the joints, so he naturally knows everything.
In the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs and the families of the gentry enjoyed the privilege of exemption from service, and the landlords and peasants who did not have preferential privileges often deposited their fields in the names of these families to escape the service, which was called "trickery".
Some large landlords also attached sporadic land to the names of neighbors, tenants, and other households in order to avoid errands, and called them "flower points".
The land property was asked to be entrusted to the gentry to impersonate their names in order to reduce the servitude, which was called "surrender".
……
The current Qin Haoming belongs to the gentry, according to Qin Laosan, find some relationships up and down, and the inside and outside can give nearly three times the preferential treatment of food.
Qin Haoming was dumbfounded after hearing this, he really didn't know what to say.
What swirls in his mind is Chongzhen's lament when he summoned his ministers for the last time: I am not the king of the dead country, you are all the ministers of the dead country. I don't treat people well, so far today, why don't any of the ministers follow?
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen climbed the coal mountain and died by hanging himself, loyal to "the death of the society and the death of the king".
Of course, Chongzhen treats the minister well, Qin Haoming believes that there may be some doubts, after all, this brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Chongzhen was emperor for seventeen years, killed two ministers and replaced fifty cabinet scholars.
In addition, fourteen military department secretaries were also replaced, and the fourteen who were removed were all serious military department secretaries, and only those who were added to the rank of military department secretary were not counted.
Of the 14 people, nine were convicted of serious crimes: one beheaded, one executed, three committed suicide, two were imprisoned, and two were dismissed from their posts and investigated.
The criminal department is still in the book, and 17 people have been replaced before and after. The governors and governors who were executed or forced to commit suicide, including Yuan Chonghuan, had a total of eleven people, such as Liu Ce, the governor of Jiliao, Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, and Xiong Wencan, the superintendent......
It can be said that Chongzhen and the courtiers have long been separated from morality, but the Ming Dynasty is really not thin on the literati!
He is just a student, not even an official, but he can enjoy such treatment. So what will happen to the people, the jinshi, and the princes of the court?
It is precisely the literati and bureaucratic class that monopolize social wealth, resulting in the abject poverty of the common people at the bottom and the deficit of the state's finances.
Therefore, it was they who joined forces to send the Han people of the Ming Dynasty to the Tartars who turned back the wheel of history.
This kind of behavior undoubtedly directly ruined the Ming Dynasty, saying that he hid the wealth from the people, but he stuffed the wealth into his own pocket.
"Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew...... If not, forget it. ”
Qin Laosan saw that Xiucai Gong listened to his words, as if he was distracted, thinking that most young scholars were not used to such ugly phenomena, and when they got older, they would naturally understand that life was not easy.
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted."
Qin Haoming smiled apologetically at Qin Jiachang, "Thank you very much for the guidance of the third uncle, Haoming was taught." You can talk to Xiaoyun about specific things, and say goodbye! ”
Daming is rotten to the bone marrow, and there is no need for him to be hypocritical.
The old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, in fact, it's not bad, it's better to tinker than to break and rebuild. It's just that Da Ming is a little sad, and he treats the scholars and literati of the world preferentially, but he is abandoned by them!
