Chapter 76: The Gentleman's Promise
"Liu Yuanshan, the old man sees that you are young and lets you score three points, but you don't want to do things badly!" Ye Xiangqi's face turned pale, he squinted at Liu Yuanshan, paused for a moment, and said: "You said that Dajin Pass is Dajin Pass, and the name matter is easy to discuss, but what is the reason why you don't allow me to export grain?" There is no such rule in the entire Ming Dynasty. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"yes!" Yuan Sishan also spoke: "San Lang, it's not that I rely on the old man to sell the old man to say you, as far as the matter of levying commercial tax is concerned, our Ming Dynasty has never done it." ”
Municipal agriculture and industry, merchants ranked at the bottom of the ranks, the most unpopular kind of people, there are merchants in the family, and their family children and grandchildren can not even participate in the imperial examination, which shows the contempt of the Ming Dynasty for merchants.
People say that businessmen chase profit and part, ruthless and unrighteous, in the Ming Dynasty, where scholars ruled the world, these people naturally had no status. But although he lost his status, he gained another benefit.
The Ming Dynasty despised merchants to the point of disdain to collect their taxes.
Yuan Sishan is not a businessman on the surface, but he supervises the workshop, and the largest wharf in Fang County is basically his family's, and he actually interferes in a lot of business secretly.
"San Lang, this, it seems that something is wrong!" Even Liu Xin, who has always supported him, stood up and expressed his opposition.
There was also Qin Jiao on the side, who thought for a long time and said a sentence: "I am afraid that if the expropriation is excessive, and the people and money will be lost, it will easily cause riots, and now Fang County is too peaceful......
"Lord Qin!" Liu Yuanshan interrupted him at the right time, shook his head and said, "Your old man is too worried!" ”
Joke!
If the peasants were taxed, they would not be able to endure and not be able to survive, but if they were the merchants, they would not exist, because the merchants had money.
Taking 10,000 steps back, the tax is heavy to a certain extent, and if those merchants feel that they can't stand it, they can just go home and farm.
However, Liu Yuanshan does not intend to explain these truths to a nerd.
"You!" Ye Xiang was relieved to see his son who was fluttering in the river below being rescued, but he still didn't have a good face for Liu Yuanshan, and pointed at him fiercely and said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you are so reckless and reckless, more hateful than those scoundrels in the market, really there is no one in my Fang County, no one in my Xiangyang Mansion, no one can cure you?" ”
"Lord Liu!" He turned his head and bowed deeply to Liu Xin, "He Liu Yuanshan is just a white cloth, why is the law to be exported, these two things, are they decided by the county yamen, or by him Liu Yuanshan?" ”
Huang Xiong has left office and fled, and now the biggest official in the county is Liu Xin, who holds the title of "Acting Governor County", Ye Xiang attacked him, and Liu Xin suddenly became bitter.
"That's ......," he didn't know how to answer.
To be honest, Liu Yuanshan had discussed this matter with him before, but he didn't agree. But if he wanted to abandon Liu Yuanshan, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"Lord Liu!" Without waiting for Liu Xin to answer, Ye Xiang said again: "If this matter is decided by Lord Liu, I, Ye someone, will be offended, and I can't say that I have to go to the governor's side to comment on the reasoning and ask for justice; If Liu Yuanshan acts recklessly, please don't favor him! ”
Liu Xin listened to his words, looked at the rock-solid Dajin Pass again, thinking of the past and what Liu Yuanshan had done before, for some reason there was suddenly more blood in his heart, and blurted out: "Mr. Ye wants to go to the governor to seek justice, naturally follow you, this matter has nothing to do with Liu Yuanshan, it is decided by this official!" ”
"Huh?" Ye Xiang never expected that Liu Xin's protection of Liu Yuanshan would come to this point.
The rest of the ...... were stunned!
What is this for? Liu Yuanshan is just a white cloth, you Liu Xin is a famous person.
Besides, you just persuaded Liu Yuanshan to come, this change of face has become too fake.
"Huh!" Liu Yuanshan smiled happily, took a deep breath, and secretly said that he had not mistaken this product, but said happily: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Increase the commercial tax and prohibit the export of grain!" Liu Yuanshan stretched out two fingers: "These two things, for our Fang County and the people of Fang County, are all beneficial and harmless, we have more business taxes, even for the imperial court, even if you go to the cabinet chief, you can't say a word!" ”
"Humph!" Ye Xiang snorted coldly, "Arrogant and domineering is the source of disaster, the boy of the Liu family, you are so perverse, aren't you afraid of ghosts coming late at night and not being able to sleep?" ”
"What can you do?" Regarding this kind of threat, Liu Yuanshan always threatened to go back immediately: "Come on, Mr. Ye is old, but his brain is a little hot, send him home to wash his hair!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Da bowed to Liu Yuanshan, and then waved his hand below.
In a short time, a team of two or three hundred people lined up neatly, each with a bright sword, rushed up from under the city wall, and occupied the entire Dajin Pass.
The black armor long knives are all heroic and extraordinary.
"Send Old Man Ye home!"
Liu Yuanshan gave an order, and more than ten soldiers went up to press Ye Xiang down and dragged him down from the city.
"Xiao'er surnamed Liu, you treat the old man like this, you can't die well!" Ye Xiang was dragged down, and he didn't forget to scold.
Liu Yuanshan laughed and said, "Don't worry, old man, you will definitely die in front of me!" ”
Seeing such a lineup, everyone was submissive.
Liu Yuanshan squinted at everyone and said: "Now, my son wants to add commercial taxes to Dajin Pass, and the garrison guards it, who still has a different opinion!" ”
Everyone was so frightened by his rogue temper that they didn't dare to speak, and looked at each other.
Obviously, many people disagreed with his idea, but they didn't dare to say it openly, for fear that they and the head of the Ye family would be dragged down from the city wall.
After all, the Ye family has a background, some people are officials outside, and there is also a township test leader, which is not comparable to them; Since Old Man Ye has been thrown around by Liu Yuanshan, a hooligan, what green onion is he counting?
"Well, it seems that doing so is really a move to win the hearts of the people!" Liu Yuanshan praised himself shamelessly, haha and laughed.
"San Lang is slow!" Xu Liang, who had been standing in the corner, as if he had been ignored, suddenly stood up and said to Liu Yuanshan: "San Lang, I have no opinion on the two things you said about levying commercial taxes and banning grain. But the Dajinguan garrison is a big matter, and I think it should be stationed by the army of the imperial court, not your Liu family's regiment. I'm doing this for your own good, and you should be able to understand what I'm talking about! ”
"Well......" Liu Yuanshan pondered for a moment, smiled and said: "What General Xu said is reasonable, and he should obey it, so let's make a gentleman's appointment with General Xu!" ”
