"Slavery for silver, grain for silver, silver for silver, silver for grain for servants...... Tao Jianzhi was the first to oppose it, saying that the requisition of silver instead of requisition of grain was a chaotic life that would bring disaster to the country and the people, and cause endless harm. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Jin's article Chen, but it gave him a problem. In the ten mansions of Guangdong, I don't know how many articles are better than Fan Jin, but those who are more courageous than him are afraid that it will be difficult to find. At most, those talents only dare to pose outside the county yamen, but when it comes to counselor military affairs, they only have the ability to tea houses, and they can't open their mouths when they really get it on the table. Only he dares to think, but also does. ”

In the back garden of the governor's yamen, Ling Yunyi and his confidant Zhu Dashi played chess games, drank tea and chatted.

Ling Yunyi is good at chess but his chess strength is limited, Zhu Dashi's skills are much better than him, and Ling Yunyi can win every game of chess, so he also introduces this staff member as a confidant. Zhu Dashi knew that his own Dongweng had been dissatisfied with Tao Jianzhi for a long time, and he couldn't ease his cheeks, so he also echoed:

"It's really not a bad idea, it's really hard to hand over grain or Durafu. For example, in Foshan, there are all iron-making workshops, so it is easy for them to pay money, and it is not easy to do it if they produce food and husbands. The students have seen it at the wharf, and there are many grain ships coming and going every day, and as long as there is silver, they are not afraid that they will not be able to buy rice. ”

"Not only must there be silver, but also someone to do it, and we have not seen anything bad about the monks. Whether or not the South China Sea can be done this time depends on the people. The ancients had a strong order, but we in Guangdong have a strong guard, and Tao Yangzhai is stubborn like a stone. It is said that the requisition of silver instead of rice will lead merchants to collect grain at a low price and sell grain at a high price, and both the government and the people will suffer because of this, and only the merchants will benefit, which is absolutely not feasible. I can understand his intentions, Lao Tao has been dissatisfied with the Cantonese people for a long time, and he has written several times, hoping to strictly prohibit the sea and prohibit the sea trade. This time, as soon as he collected the cash, it was tantamount to supporting these people to go to sea to do business in disguise, and of course he was dissatisfied. Strictly only collecting grain forces people to farm at home and not go to the sea...... This old stubborn doesn't want to think about it, the sea has been banned for so many years, when did the sea really be banned? Instead of lying to yourself, it is better to simply admit the sea trade and collect the silver first. ”

Zhu Dashi said: "Hou County's letter was rejected, and Tao Taishou couldn't pay the money and grain, and after a long time, there will be problems with the food and salary of the Zhejiang soldiers." Now it is borrowed from the Yandao Yamen merchants by relying on military affairs, but this is an expedient measure, and when it is time to fight, it will be rewarded with a lot of silver, and the sons are willing to charge. If the Yandao Yamen does not release the loan at that time, the war will be affected. Besides, it is not a long-term solution to blindly levy salt catties, Guangxi is known as a light food province, which means that we levy too much, and the people cannot afford to buy official salt. Lu Ge is a native of Guangxi, and Sangzi is related, and he will not want to see his hometown and his old people not know the taste. If there is a master who plays a book, the military gate and Dong Weng are not comfortable. ”

"Lu Heqing (Lu Tiaoyang's character) is a reasonable person, and he can't want us to fight at the same time, but also tie our hands and feet. Of course, Guangxi's salt levy cannot always be like this. I have sent an official matter to the Nanhai County Ya and allowed it to be converted into silver for service. Tao Yangzhai didn't agree, I promised, and then it depends on whether Nanhai County can do it. As long as this thing is done, maybe we will have a better situation with the new source of salary, and the levy of salt catties in Guangxi. ”

Zhu Dashi said with a smile: "Dong Weng This is a plan for two tigers to compete for food, it is better to collect grain or silver, and it is not clear for a year and a half." It's better to compare them like this, and the results will be immediate, and the victory or defeat can be known regardless of whether they are asked. That's it, it's equivalent to roasting Hou Shouyong on the fire. ”

"Don't worry, Hou Shouyong will put Fan Jin on the fire first. I have checked the resume of this Hou Shouyong, and it can actually be of great use, but there is no one in the court to recommend him, and he has never been able to go up. This time I have to be embarrassed for him, if he can do it well, I will protect him for a future, he has been angry enough for a long time, and it is time to raise his eyebrows and exhale again. ”

"To be appreciated by Dong Weng is his creation. But the previous examination was probably enough for him. ”

Ling Yunyi smiled, "I've been to Foshan, and I've seen blacksmiths there making hundreds of steels. If you want to make good steel, you have to fight with fire and water, and forge it repeatedly, so that you can hit a sharp blade that cuts gold and jade. If you can't bear it and it breaks yourself, it proves that it is a stubborn iron and is not suitable. If Hou Shouyong can't bear the forging, it proves that he is not this material, and the official can't commit a major case, and he deserves not to come out for the rest of his life. ”

"According to the student's opinion, Dong Weng forged him, and if he turned around, he had to forge Fan Jin."

"It's all the same, I think he's a good material, and he thinks Fan Jin must have the same opinion. This Fan Jin is not very old, but the strength of tossing is not small, if he exercises well, he may be another South China Sea monster. Although a son is small, he can use it to get the law, or he can determine the future. ”

As he spoke, Ling Yunyi fell, and looked at the chessboard confidently, "In this game, you lost the world." ”

In Jinsha Township, in Xiaohe Village, Jiashou knocked and shouted loudly, "Fan Gongzi has come to the village to talk about the Ming Law, don't miss it, folks." Every family sends someone to listen, and if you miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to find it again. ”

The farmers who were deep in the fields rushed to tell each other, and their faces showed joy. Someone asked: "Fan Gongzi is eating at whose house, has he ever prepared meat?" I heard that Fan Gongzi is famous for not having meat and not being happy, because there is no meat in the rice in Sweet Water Village, he is not energetic, and he refuses to go back if he is invited back, we can't eat meat here. ”

"Don't worry, Shou Jia killed two fat dogs, which is enough to entertain Fan Gongzi. Our group of blind people finally have someone to explain the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, they will not say anything to the Hong family. ”

The raging fire is burning in the eighteen villages of Jinsha Township, and the one who brought the fire is Fan Jin, who returned to his hometown again after making a storm in the county yamen. This time, he did not go back to the big and small Fanzhuang where he lived, but traveled back and forth between the eighteen villages, meeting with the heads of each village, and popularizing the basic tax law of the Ming Dynasty by the way.

Hou Shouyong sent his own elder, Hou Yitong, not only to support Fan Jin, but also to examine what Fan Jin said to see if the eighteen villages really had plans to make trouble. However, as soon as Hou Yi left the county, he was sent by Fan Jin to greet a few Fanzhuang Township parties with good wine and meat, and the matter of going to the countryside was no longer followed, and everything was decided by Fan Jin.

There are five surnames and eighteen villages in Jinsha Township, and the villages controlled by the Hong family account for three, except for these three villages, the rest of the villages have shown great enthusiasm for Fan Jin's arrival, and the hospitality is also very courteous.

After all, Fan Jin is the head of Jinsha Township, once he is famous, these fellow villagers will also benefit, plus the tax law he preached, it will be of practical benefit to everyone. After only half a circle, Fan Jin's popularity among Sangzi has greatly increased. Some villages have already begun to ask people to talk to Fan Jin as a matchmaker, and some villages have invited Fan Jin to go back and talk about the Da Ming Law again.

With the understanding of the knowledge of tax law, the people of each village have found that they have paid a lot of taxes in the past, and some people have discussed that they want to find a theory for the Hong family to find a way to take back the forced labor of the overcharged grain and the apportionment.

The former overlord, life is getting harder and harder, this time the collection of money and grain, several villages have jointly invited Fan Jin to be a guarantor, and he will pay on his behalf, without going through the grain chief. In Hongjiazhuang, Hong Dagui circled anxiously, "Grandpa, if this continues, our Hong family will not be able to mix in their hometown in the future." As the chief of this grain, the first thing you need to be able to control the people of each village is to be able to control it. If Ren Fan Jin continues to toss like this, how will you levy food and send labor in the future? According to his grandson's opinion, he simply led the group and beat Fan Jin to let him know that he was powerful! ”

Hong Chengen was smoking a cigarette pouch, and his face was as gloomy as an iron block, "Hit him? Say it lightly. He is now the treasure of the villages, do you think our Hong family can compete with the other four surnames? In Fanjiazhuang, there are still confidants of the county order, and because of the assignment, the county lord is already dissatisfied with us. If we fight over this matter again, the county magistrate will have a reason to justifiably attack us. ”

"That'...... What do you say? ”

"One word, forbearance! I've lived so much, I've seen a lot of things, it's nothing to be proud for a while, but it's the hardest thing to be proud, we look down with him and don't look up, and when he is majestic, put up with him. By the time he's finished, we can make him cry with just a little strength! Let's finally run an errand for the court this time, the county order can't catch us anything, and the matter will be a big thing and a small matter, he Fan Jin is involved in this matter, he is asking for his own death, and when the time comes, he can't even cry! ”
