Today's small market, Zhang Han did not call himself a personal servant to follow all the time, but asked Zhang Chun to keep going back and forth between the market and his home, and kept sending good news to his home, so that his family, especially Chang's, could be happier.

Seeing Zhang Chun running over, Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "Your nose is really spiritual, you can smell the aroma of wine and food from such a distance?" Didn't there be a banquet at home to celebrate? ”

"Young proprietor, it's not good."

Zhang Chun's face was full of anxiety, but when Zhang Han approached, he stopped, and when he was breathing, he lowered his voice to speak, although his voice was small, it was with a trill, and the feeling of panic and fear was very obvious.

"Don't panic, you're doing well."

Zhang Chun didn't shout at the first time, which made Zhang Han feel quite satisfied, after all, he had been trained for so many days, if Zhang Chun, this kid, didn't grow a little, it would be better to change someone to train him earlier.

"Hmm......" Zhang Chun steadied again, and then said: "Young owner, something big has happened." ”

"Be clear."

"When it was almost dark, a clerk surnamed Song came to the Qing Military Hall, as well as Tan Bin, the two came together, saying that this year's shop official bought our family, this is not enough, but also our family is the head, the main mother fainted soon after seeing these two people, and invited the medicine woman to come and see the ......."

"What, my mother is dizzy?"

Zhang Han was still praising Zhang Chun's calmness in his heart just now, but when he heard that Chang fainted, he couldn't hold his breath.

Zhang Chun looked nervous at him, and hurriedly said: "The medicine woman has come to see it, and said that it is no big problem, and the main mother's body is very tough, but she is in a hurry......

"Okay, okay, that's good."

Zhang Han put a little snack, but then he still felt a huge pressure.

This kind of pressure has never been experienced in his two lives.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw the garrison general brazenly shackle more than a dozen smuggling businessmen to death today, Zhang Han might not be so nervous, after seeing it, he realized that his past experience was not fully adapted to the Ming Dynasty, at least, the rules of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared with later generations, there were also corrupt officials in later generations, and there were all kinds of injustices, but at least there was a bottom line and rules recognized by everyone, and in the Ming Dynasty, power is everything, everything else is false, fake, and powerful people will not be completely liquidated even if they are evil, What's more, what Zhang Chun said was still within the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said that the Ming Dynasty emperor himself took the lead in doing this kind of thing!

The so-called "shop official buying" is actually a splicing of two meanings.

The paving system, which can be organized by guilds in the Tang and Song dynasties, is different from the situation in the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to say more. In the Ming Dynasty, it is the imperial court and the government will forcibly compile all walks of life, the imperial court will make up all the businesses in the city in the household, Zhengde years, set up the "brand A law", the shop is divided into three classes, "make up the brand A, work together." ”

What do you do? Of course, it was the shopkeepers who supplied materials, manpower, and various errands to the imperial court.

Only the nobles, eunuchs, and gentry families can be exempted from bunks and military service.

"Official buying" means that after the government organizes the various lines of service into households, and then goes up to the court and down to the government, you can go to the various branches to requisition and buy and sell materials.

It is said that it is "buying", of course, it is a joke, there has always been no one to give money, not only do not give, but also must bribe the person who handles it, otherwise, the errand you should do, will never be qualified, the goods supplied, must be defective goods, every time the old man loses his temper, he is caught and hit the board, the old injury is not healed, and then he takes it to fight, such as in hell, the possibility of getting out forever.

As long as it is ordered and bought, it is already a miserable thing, and if you become a "leader" again, there is no possibility of turning over.

The head of the line is recorded in the official case, the yamen sent people to "assist" the head of the line, and the head of the line is responsible for the purchase of the goods that should be offered by each family and all kinds of errand service, some people, gritting their teeth and breaking the family, can finally resist the matter of buying and buying, although it hurts the muscles and bones, it is good to survive the past and have a future, when the head of the line, then it will always be a chance to live, can only wait for death.

The best thing to do is to run away with your family!

This kind of fabrication, regular purchase, and forced service of merchants is a serious incursion to industry and commerce. In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, countless big businessmen went bankrupt at every turn, because these policies were very arbitrary, and businessmen had no political status and were allowed to be kneaded.

As for the origin of this bastard's policy, it came from Ming Chengzu, and Ming Chengzu had a holy decree that was written like this: "Every time the military family opens a shop in the market to do business, and the government asks for some materials, why is he unwilling to comprador it?" Your ministry is a clerk, and Tianfu knows: If there is a comprador in the future, but if you open a shop house, regardless of the military and civilians, etc., you will be a comprador in one, and if you dare to violate it, you will not be spared. ”

This is the words of Chengzu, in the next 200 years, up to the court, down to the government, it is indeed in accordance with the spirit of Chengzu's holy decree.

Until the seventh year of Chongzhen, there was no stopping. City, the imperial court repeatedly issued an edict not to requisition the household materials, issued cash to buy, to Longwu, Emperor Longwu said: "Fuzhou County households, the real local harm to the people's evil government." If the official has a little conscience, he still buys it at the official price, which is five or six times higher than the market price; Those who have no conscience will be sent as if they were direct tickets. Xu officials are fateful, and there are many treacherous holes. I have known this disadvantage for a long time, and it is advisable to carry out eternal reform. ”

Unfortunately, by the time of Longwu, the Ming Dynasty had already fallen.

Zhang Han has been alert for a while, his family is too weak and has no protection. umbrella, but he never expected that the evil government he had sighed about would come to him so suddenly.

Zhang Han's panic and shock were only for a moment, and with his character and concentration, this little thing in front of him would not make him feel at a loss. After thinking about it, he instructed Zhang Chundao: "You go in, don't show your face, and quietly invite Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Liang out." ”

"Yes, I'll go."

Zhang Han was calm, Zhang Chun was also calm, and the thin figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

After a while, Zhou Fengji, whose face was flushed and walked vainly, walked out with Liang Hong. Seeing Zhang Han standing outside, the two of them went on a campaign, and the alcohol disappeared a little.

Zhou Fengji said: "Shaodong is not inside, why are you standing outside?" It's so cold, you need to be careful if you get cold again. ”

Liang Hong didn't say anything, he already knew a little about Zhang Han, he was not a big person, he was quiet, and he had an idea when he encountered a big event, so it must be something important to invite himself and Zhou Fengji out on such an occasion.

"There's something you need to know."

Zhang Han was very calm, and took the two of them to the quiet room first, and then talked about the outfit and the purchase.

"It's over, it's over......"

Zhou Fengji's face twitched, he slumped weakly on the chair, Liang Hong was no better, his eyes became extremely dull, and the kind of pride and Jianghu atmosphere on his original body disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Run, hurry up and run, Shaodong."

The two were stunned for a while, and Liang Hong suddenly came to his senses and said to Zhang Han: "Go overnight, get out of the gold and silver at home, and don't go to Tianchengwei's village, Datong can't go, go directly to Taiyuan, or go back to Puzhou!" ”

Zhang Chun was on the side and couldn't help but say, "Third Master Liang, is it so terrible?" Let's fight to lose half of our family property, can't we finish this? ”

Liang Xing said miserably: "If we just buy one, let's try to lose half of the capital, and there may be a chance to finish this matter." There's also a line on the body...... I don't have a chance, I know very well that the gang of people in the Qing Army Hall don't eat up our meat, peel off the skin, and break the bones to boil out the oil, Shaodong, you don't know how powerful these people are, they have been officials for many years, and their hearts are black, as long as they can get silver, they won't care if others live or die, other people's homes are hung into the river, selling children and daughters, these people are just laughing and talking, that heart is not only black, it is a stone soaked in a dung pit, and there is no human smell all over the body......"

Liang Hong's tone was deep, the candlelight was flickering, it was like a ghost crawling out of the ground, Zhang Chun was completely frightened.

Zhou Fengji wiped his face and said categorically: "Let's go to Shaodong's house immediately and see how it goes...... Shaodong, the three cabinets are being done, if you can run, run quickly, I have seen a big commercial house in Beijing to run away from this matter, run away, it is an eye-opener! ”

Lai Tongxin has no hope of rising again, and the Lai family's resources are limited, so it is impossible to help him to the position of the chief soldier. In the past two years, Lai Tongxin has shifted all his attention to making a fortune.

When he came back from the market, Lai Tongxin asked people to calculate today's gains and losses.

The court's reward silver, he didn't send a penny, he kept it all, and the reward was not much, only more than 1,300 taels, but the previous superposition was also considerable.

The imperial court has certain rules for the commercial tax that is divided, but in addition to the amount of receivables, Lai Tongxin of course also asked the people under him to collect a lot more.

The silver of the white flowers was placed in the hall, Lai Tongxin changed into a comfortable jacket, half lying on the Luohan bed, watching the family count the silver, pack them one by one, and then move them to the cellar to hide them.
