Early in the morning, Yang Lin came to the street entrance, Yang Wei and others wore short coats at the street entrance, just like the underworld collects protection money, bandits buy road fees, anyone who carries goods more than 1 yuan of silver will pay 3-5 copper plate entrance fees, and those who do not carry cash will pay after the sale.

After being exploited by scoundrels in the past and now becoming super scoundrels, Yang Wei and others are also fair, and they can often charge one or two copper coins less when calculating the entrance fee, so as not to cause disputes among everyone.

In the market, people gather together to sell according to different things, so there is also a comparison between them.

The seller hawker passes by, after the two sides agree on the price, they often use the public name in the market, and often throw a copper coin into the basket after the use is completed, and a basket can be loaded with half a basket, and there are more than 1,000 copper coins, so it can be seen that the local market is prosperous.

Although the countrymen are calculating, they abide by their duties, and everyone still abides by the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, and many people nodded their respects when they saw Yang Lin.

After two rounds of the market, he took Yang Cheng to inspect the various merchant grocery stores, the busiest was Wang Laosan's salt shop, in the feudal dynasty, this salt was the most tightly managed substance by the government, and the smuggling and selling of illicit salt was caught like a drug dealer in the previous life.

If you don't eat salt, you don't have the strength at all, and you can't lack anything else but you can't lack salt.

One hundred copper coins a catty, a hanging copper coin ten catties, everyone squeezed into a row, there are copper coins hanging around their necks to buy salt loudly, there are also people who feel out the broken silver eyes and stare at the small scale, everyone generally buys three or five catties (far away from the market, generally buy daily necessities for a few days), and the third son of Wang Lao holds a large basket of copper coins.

In addition to the salt shop, the oil shop is also crowded with people, in ancient times, there was no electricity at night all rely on some oil, although there are a few oilers to sell, everyone still often find the most trustworthy shop.

Since Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip law, the government no longer collects grain and collects silver, the villagers have no choice, everyone has to rush to the market to carry the grain to sell, and then exchange it into silver to hand over the field to give Ding Fu.

However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the market circulated broken silver, that is, silver of different fineness and weight, and everyone often argued about the fineness of the silver, and some asked for judgment when Yang Lin passed by.

…….

From south to north, there are grocery stores, blacksmith shops, cloth shops, carpentry shops, medicinal herb shops, medical halls, tea shops, grain stores, money villages, one after another, if you don't look at the clothes on your body as if you are in the village market in the previous life, in fact, in addition to the different varieties of goods, the prosperity is not inferior to the village in the previous life (although the population is sparser than the previous life, but the area of a Luojiabao is equivalent to six or seven townships in the past, and there are not many people who rush to the market).

After walking back and forth twice, there were a lot of people on the street, and in the narrow place, it was even more crowded with people, and it was impossible to walk at all.

Feeling interested, Yang Lin came to the restaurant and found a table by the window to sit down, watching the long flow of people in the streets and alleys, while drinking tea and wine.

There was a commotion downstairs, and the staircase remembered a burst of neat footsteps, and felt that something was wrong Yang Cheng was protecting in front, but after seeing the young scholar in front, his face slowed down slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "Wang Xianggong, He Xianggong, Liu Xianggong...."

No wonder the restaurant is noisy, how can you ever see seven or eight Xiucai appear in this kind of poor countryside at the same time, Wang Guangxian, who is in his thirties, walks in front with a sad face.

It's no wonder that everyone is so sad and angry, in the Ming Dynasty, there are only more than 20 people in a county Gongsheng, it can be said that they are the best in the Shilin (30 state schools), everyone used to study hard, and they couldn't imagine that the other party actually gave up the good future of the imperial examination to be the chief of the guard, and all day long with the officials, hooligans, scoundrels, and small people, which can make everyone ridiculed.

Compared with the businessmen on the rich side, although the scholars are temporarily poor, they will be able to become officials in the future, and they will be arrogant in front of the rich families.

Now Gongsheng Yang Lin has actually come out to be a lowly security chief, which makes everyone's moral advantage disappear, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Everyone sat down angrily and glared at each other, and suddenly Wang Guangxian got up and congratulated: "The world's strange news, the world's strange news, the dignified tribute student could have been promoted to the people, and he should have gone out of the cabinet and entered the phase on a different day, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the building like a rug now, and join the ruffians and scoundrels in the same stream, which is ridiculous."

Yang Ruzhen, you are different from me, we waited for several township exams to be unsuccessful, and you were willing to fall into the country after only one township exam? ”

Yang Lin smiled, took the teapot from the small second-hand and added tea to everyone respectively, and then smiled indifferently: "There is no road in the world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road." ”

Liu Xianfa said with disdain on his face: "The road is divided into Yangguan Avenue and a single-plank bridge, why does Brother Ruzhen need to take this single-plank bridge?" I waited for this time to come because I didn't want my brother to be brittle in the future. ”

Arching his hand, Yang Lin smiled and said: "The road is not finished, who knows that it is a single-plank bridge, who knows that it is Yangguan Avenue?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Wang Guangxian shook his head and said, "Brother Ruzhen, do you think that you are taking Yangguan Avenue today?" ”

Putting down the coffee table, Yang Lin arched his hand and said: "Brothers, we all take it as our responsibility to help the world, now we are in troubled times, there are Liaodong slaves in the northeast, and Huang Taiji Dolgon has led his troops to plunder the Beijing division many times.

Natural disasters have been repeated, the people of northern Shaanxi have been miserable, and Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other giants have not only wandered the Central Plains, but also plundered Sichuan more times.

In our northern Sichuan Yao Huang rebellion, they only killed people, set fires, kidnapped and ransom in previous years, and this year they even captured the prefecture and county and approached Pengzhou.

Brothers, Taiwan and the people, let's talk about the reason for this? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Wang Guangxian arched his hand and said: "The officials are corrupt, the officials are cunning and robbing, and the local gentry are arbitrarily expropriating and annexing land, and the people are miserable.

In this case, I should work hard, as long as you endure the cold window and study hard, when the time comes, the title of the gold list will definitely turn the tide and benefit the people? ”

Shaking his head, Yang Lin sighed: "Brothers, wake up, everyone open your eyes and look at the princes of the imperial court, the officials of the six ministries and the six departments, the governors of the provinces, the political envoys of the provinces, the governors and governors of the prefectures, and the counties of the prefectures and counties are not the leaders of our Confucian sect, and that is not the cold window that has been studying hard for decades?" Wasn't that ambitious before he came out?

But what is the final result, the state affairs are becoming more and more difficult, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are emerging in an endless stream, and the common people are miserable. ”

Of course, most of those who are promoted to Jinshi are the leaders of one side of the Shilin, and many high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty are mostly held by Jinshi, and now when they hear Yang Lin say this, everyone falls into silence.

For a long time, Liu Xianfa arched his hand and said: "Kong said that Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, and the wind knows the strength of the grass, even if this road is difficult, even if we have a brittle body, we must leave our innocence in the world." ”

Everyone felt their hearts and blood surging, and applauded loudly one by one, causing the surrounding villagers to put down their chopsticks and watch this group of showmen arguing.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "I don't know how the ending will be, since the brothers have arrived to understand the little brother's heart."

The court and the ministers co-govern, the local officials and gentry co-govern, and now the county magistrates and governors are not from Jinshijuren, but under their rule, the local officials are becoming more and more relaxed, and the yamen officials bribe the public bank? ”

Wang Guangxian said with a smile: "It is inevitable that there will be one or two scum in Shilin, who only want to be officials and make a fortune in Shilin, and disregard the people's livelihood." ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "What Brother Wang said makes sense, but there is other truth besides this. Zhang Taiyue advocated the use of followers during his administration, but why is this so?

In fact, because the officials are skilled in government affairs, they are all clear-eyed and clear-sighted, and although there are one or two treacherous officials under the rule, they dare not act too recklessly.

Now the little brother and I am the chief of the body, if I have to raise people to enter the warrior one day, and then there is that treacherous person who is doing nonsense, it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the law. ”

Liu Xianfa was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "What Brother Ruzhen said is good, but in any case, you must raise people in high school, so that you can govern one side and ensure the peace of the people."

In this way, Brother Ruzhen should not deny the importance of studying hard. ”

Yang Lin arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, although I am in the market, I don't dare to delay my studies in the slightest."

Buddhists practice at home and in temples, and in the same way, we scholars can also study articles in the school and go to the society to learn and practice. ”

Everyone fell silent again, and after a long time, Wang Guangxian arched his hand and said: "Brother Ruzhen, no matter what, we still think that you are putting the cart before the horse, and you are begging for fish by the wood." ”

Yang Lin stood up, shook his head and said: "Brothers, if the four seas rise to level the world, the great rule of the world is so fateful, but now although the world is big, it is impossible to put down a desk."

Nowadays, the Liaodong Tartars have invaded the Central Plains many times and coerced the Beijing division many times, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are even more rogues who plague the people in various places, and even our local tyrants in northern Sichuan can occupy the prefectures and counties and plague the places.

As the saying goes, those who are good at helping the poor in the world are good alone, although we are only a scholar now, no matter what, we should also maintain local stability and ensure the safety of one party. ”

When the people around saw Yang Lin like this, they remembered that they had been applauding loudly recently, and Wang Guangxian, Liu Xianfa and others also understood a little.

After sending everyone away, Yang Lin returned to his residence, and Yang Wei and the others were overjoyed.

If you add the nominal fee, the number of goods received in a day is seven or eight taels, and in the past, the bribe of the public bank was only four or five taels of silver.

This is just an ordinary market, if you catch the bull market, the horse market will close more.

Looking at the copper coins that filled half a basket, Yang Lin was secretly pleasantly surprised, this is probably what the people often call the underworld protection fee, or the business endowment.

Even so, some problems were discovered, and some people were vaguely found to be secretly stuffing the copper and silver they received into their pockets.

Invoices are the best weapon against corruption, but printing invoices is now quite difficult, and there are no other supporting measures to manage them.

After thinking about it, I had to use the most conservative way to secretly expel those who were not right-minded in other ways.
