Hearing that the east wall was going to be demolished and the west wall was to be repaired, Yao Huizu was a little hesitant, but Wang Fulin was not partial to others, but he couldn't help but be surprised. But when he saw Wang Fulin take out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, he took them and took them in his hand to take a look, and saw that they were two strange tables that he had never seen before, which intuitively listed the changes in the summer tax and autumn grain quota of each county in the past two consecutive years when Zhu Yuanzhang had not ascended the throne.

That is to say, it may be a little unfair for Shexian to send a summer tax silk, but it has not reached the point of being so unfair, after all, when Yisi was restructured, the burden on each county increased by fifty percent to several times!

"Although it is said that the silk will be levied on a non-silk-producing county, rather than increasing rice and wheat like the other five counties in Huizhou, judging from the figures, it is very likely that it is due to the increase in taxes. Of course, no one can say exactly, after all, the amount is really unexpected. All in all, as long as you strive for Shexian County to reduce silk, and at the same time, the remaining five counties are not many factions, and when Fuzun leaves office, he will definitely be able to enter the famous eunuch temple. And taking advantage of the Shoufu Lord's rectification of the study and politics, the Fuzun urged the great master of the school to rectify the students in the six counties of Huizhou, and to resign a few more immoral and incompetent lawyers, which also set an example for the rest of the prefectures and counties. ”

"As for the money just mentioned, in addition to repairing those destroyed houses, there are at least seven or eight thousand, which can be used by Fuzun to compensate the elderly in one prefecture and six counties, or to buy books for social studies, or to build roads and bridges, all in all, what Fuzun wants to do to benefit the six counties of Fuze, it will be much more generous."

Wang Fulin, the boy who sent money, directly sent more than 10,000 yuan to Yao Huizu. Silver that can be used everywhere. Yao Huizu was naturally in a much better mood. In addition, even if it is not the best, it is a more reasonable idea for him to be the tallest of the short, and he knows very well that it is indeed feasible after many years of mixing in officialdom. Therefore, when Wang Fulin left, he naturally sent it to the inner door of the government in person. It's just that Wang Fulin mentioned another thing to him when he left, but he couldn't help but hesitate.

It doesn't matter who is in charge of Shexian Order, but now this Xue Chao must not stay!

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although Xue Chao muttered a little about Wang Fulin's toughness at the end. But Xue Chao's greed and incompetence did make him quite annoyed. What's more, he is Zhang Juzheng's henchman, not Zhang Siwei's henchman, Zhang Siwei's fellow countryman is incompetent, what does he have to protect him? What's more, the benefits and achievements that Wang Fulin can bring to him are much more important than the little Xue Chao. Just like Xue Chao wanted to throw Shuai Jiamo out as a scapegoat, why didn't he want to find a scapegoat to throw out to prevent the disaster?

The mess this time is so big, how can Yu Maoxue not worry about him, he thinks that Jinyiwei and Dongchang will arrange it himself. As for the people who are responsible for the official face, the county orders of Shexian, Wuyuan, and Xiuning counties are the best choice. But Wuyuan County Commander Wu Xuan is a well-known four-no-county order. A good official with strengths, the chaos in Wuyuan was also suppressed by his appeasement bullet, at least the merits outweighed the faults. Xiuning's Chen County Commander was indeed mediocre and incompetent, and was even placed under house arrest in the government office, but after all, he didn't jump up and down like Xue Chao, and he didn't have any burden in the back, so it was no problem to reprimand and punish him, and it was not appropriate to take office.

It is still very cost-effective to use Xue Chao, a county order that first advocated the equalization of summer tax silk, to calm the anger of the people in the five counties, and at the same time to calm the dissatisfaction of the eunuchs in She County!

In the county government of Shexian County, Xue Chao was just fainting in anger, but when he heard that Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou, had asked Yu County Cheng to act as his county commander, he was shocked and angry, and immediately scolded Master Liu, now he was really angry. However, when he didn't get better after taking a few medicines, he remembered Master Liu again, so he called him to ask him, and then he learned that Master Liu had left a letter to resign, and he floated away without his consent. And when he opened the letter, he saw that Master Liu's style and words were extremely blunt, and he even wrote that he would convey his lesson to other colleagues in the future and take it as a warning, so he was really a little panicked.

You must know that Master also has a circle, if his reputation for self-righteousness is really spread by Master Liu, who will be willing to enter his scene? Like him, who was a magistrate for the first time, it is impossible not to be released as a magistrate like those princes, how can he not have the help of his staff?

"How many days has he been gone?" Seeing that the person in front of him was a little hesitant to face his question, Xue Chao was suddenly angry, "I'm asking you, how many days has Master Liu been gone?" ”

"I left the day before yesterday, and I said that I would leave Huizhou......

"Bastard, such a big thing didn't even say it a long time ago!" Xue Chao was so angry that he directly smashed a tea cup on the small table at the head of the bed, and then felt dizzy in his brain, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious. He is in She County, Wang Fulin lives on the street behind the county, this snake who is enough to cover the sky with one hand in She County only needs to send a word, can he still be cured of this disease? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and in the end, he shouted at the relatives: "You go to the palace for me to ask to see Yao Fuzun, just say that my illness is strange, and I implore the government to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, and recommend a safe doctor to me, I feel guilty!" ”

Seeing that the kiss's face changed, and he turned around to leave after agreeing, Xue Chao suddenly stopped him again, and changed his words and said: "No, don't go to Yao Fuzun, go to the Yamen of Huining Dao to find Feng Observation!" Feng Observation should come back now, right? ”

After getting the affirmative reply from the entourage, Xue Chao immediately drove people away, and then leaned on the pillow, and soon suddenly remembered something, called someone to come in to serve the pen and ink, and raised his spirit to write a letter to Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu. However, he didn't know what to write when he picked up the pen now, and every time he only wrote a few words, he impatiently crumpled the letterhead and threw it on the ground, and finally simply dropped the pen and paper and sulked there.

If Master Liu is here, how can he need to do it himself when he is sick?

However, a letter from his side had not yet been considered, and the entourage who had gone to Fucheng to see Huining Dao Feng had already returned. Facing Xue Chao's expectant eyes, the entourage could only hang his head deeply and said cautiously: "Feng observed that these doctors in Huizhou Mansion are not eating white rice, and the county is just a small illness that is impatient. Where is it not good? This doctor invited by the county. He's seen it. Yao Fuzun has also seen it, so let the county not be anxious. It is necessary to know that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. ”

Hearing that even Feng Zhan said this, clearly blaming himself for being suspicious and suspicious, Xue Chao only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, but when he reached his mouth, he had to swallow it. Without the slightest luck, he clenched his fists fiercely and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did Feng Guan say anything else?" Seeing that the retinue just shook his head, he could only ask again. What has Yu County done in the past few days when he is acting for the county government affairs? ”

In the past few days, Xue Chao has been groggy and groggy, and it is the first time that Xue Chao has cheered up and asked about the outside world. When he learned that Yu Xiancheng had settled down inside and outside the city of Shexian County with the full cooperation of the three classes and six rooms, and the chaotic people in other counties of Huizhou Mansion had also dispersed, the situation was almost stable, only the corresponding chief evil was sent to the government office, and he was about to be interrogated in public in the near future. In a fit of rage, he could only ask him to call Liu Hui, the household secretary, to come. But the person went not long ago, but he came back alone.

"How. Could it be that my cousin is sick, and they dare not take me in their eyes one by one? ”

"Master, Secretary Liu followed Yu County Cheng to the government office, it is said that the five counties have sent subordinate officials and the head of the household to discuss the matter of Xia tax silk, Wu Yuan is the Yu County Cheng and the household secretary Cheng Dehuan who was beaten before, and our She County naturally has to send people over. It is said that there is news from the government office, our Wang Gongzi of She County took the lead, many township eunuchs and rich people donated, Xiuning side is the people of the rice industry guild donated money, one is to rebuild those houses that were smashed by the chaos people, etc., and the other is to give compensation to the wounded, our She County Yamen was injured by the chaos of stones, bricks and tiles, many of them have received money for healing......"

"Say no more!"

Xue Chao stopped the babbling statement in one gulp, only to feel that he would vomit blood even more if he didn't interrupt him again. When he blasted people away, he only felt that his body was paralyzed and weak, and the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to originate. This time the incident made him disgraced, but after Wang Fulin dispersed the chaotic people, he also took out the money to be a good person and be praised? But he was going to lie in bed miserably and recuperate, seeing that even the power of the county order had been taken away by a county magistrate, why was he so unlucky?

How to be a shadow county on the one-third of an acre of land in Shexian County, Wang Fulin is naturally as handy as a fish in water. Especially in Shexian County, countless eyeliners in the three classes and six rooms are ventilated and reported all the time, plus Yu Xiancheng is like a chicken blood after getting the authority of the acting, not to mention the careful handling of things, but also "humbly and sincerely" to ask for advice from several officials, not to mention generous delegation of power. Therefore, as soon as Yu Xiancheng and Liu Hui came back from the Huizhou Mansion, he got a detailed information on today's government affairs while sitting in Wang's house in the back street of the county - if he hadn't specially instructed the two not to come over directly, I am afraid that Yu Xiancheng and Liu Hui would have to report directly.

The thing he had in hand at the moment was Liu Hui's handwriting, which mentioned that Yao Huizu had made it clear in public that he had already written to ask for the compilation of the entire book of enlistment, and asked the Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion to send subordinate officials to verify the Yellow Book of Enlistment and the old files. This is all his proposal, Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou, not only accepted it verbally, but also did it in practice, and Wang Fulin naturally put his mind at ease. As for the Xia tax silk dispute still has no result, he is not surprised at all, and he didn't even bother to watch the confrontation recounted by Liu Hui, and at a glance, he knew that it was purely bickering. After all, it is up to the court to decide.

In addition, Liu Hui mentioned at the end that Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou, announced the matter of Cheng Wenlie, Wu Dajiang and others fanning the flames in Wuyuan and Xiuning on the eight-character wall of the government and tried it on a later date. He was more interested in this, and after thinking about it, he called Jinbao and told him to go to the front of the government to see the excitement, and then memorize the content of the posted notice and repeat it.

For Jinbao, who has never forgotten or never forgotten, this matter is naturally not difficult, he played back and forth in less than an hour, and after repeating the proclamation describing the cause and effect of the rebellion in the two counties word for word, when talking about the reaction of the onlookers, he couldn't help but show indignation: "This announcement was sent by the government to read it to the onlookers over and over again, and some people didn't believe it at first, but soon it began to commotion, and some people even proposed that the first evil be put in front of the government to show the public. There are such despicable and shameless guys in the world, taking advantage of this summer tax and silk dispute to make a lot of money, and even spread rumors, have they given their conscience to dogs? ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin looked at himself with a smile and did not speak, Jinbao thought that he had said something wrong, so he immediately shut up and remained silent. But then, what Wang Fulin said surprised him. Those figures that Wang Fulin once stated to Shuai Jiamo about the Huizhou Mansion and the sitting faction, now Jinbao heard Wang Fulin say it again, but it was more shocked than Shuai Jiamo, because Shuai Jiamo had already known it, but he knew for the first time that after the so-called light and thin endowment of the imperial court, there was such a mystery hidden! He hesitated for a while, and finally whispered, "Isn't there an honest and outspoken person who proposes to reduce the number of years and the party?" ”

"How? How many officials do you think will go to the local government and county records? Even if you look at it, how many people will accuse the imperial court of being too ruthless for the benefit of the small people? I'll tell you a story. Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu had fought hard with Zhang Shicheng for ten years, and in the end there was a shortage of food in the army, so he borrowed the next year's tax as military food from Wujin and Yixing counties in Changzhou Prefecture, that is, the tax for this year was doubled. With such a batch of sufficient military rations, Zhang Shicheng was destroyed soon after. Guess what happened to the borrowed tax? ”

Jinbao was stunned for a moment, he thought about it again and again, and finally said uncertainly: "It should be that these two counties are exempted from paying taxes for the second year, right?" ”

"Wrong, very wrong." Wang Fulin hooked his hand and motioned to Jinbao to take two more steps forward, and then said lightly, "In the second year, the Ming Dynasty was founded, and Emperor Taizu forgot a lot of things, and the stubble of pre-borrowing military rations had long been completely forgotten, and when formulating taxes in various places, the previous year was used as the benchmark, so Wujin and Yixing, Changzhou Prefecture, were the double taxes of the previous year as the benchmark for taxation. The magistrates of these two places did not dare to speak out about the matter for fear of angering Shangfeng and the imperial court, so until now, the two counties could only use the old amount plus the amount of advance borrowing as the basis for taxation. ”

Jin Baoden gasped, only to feel that what he heard now subverted all his previous understanding of reading and reading history. But just when he only felt full of confusion and struggle, Wang Fulin said something that he couldn't believe even more.

During the Xuande period, the governor Zhou Chen began to make gold and silver in the southeast region, that is, there was no need to send the heavy and easily lost tax grain to the Beijing division, but to collect it in silver. After he arrived in Changzhou Mansion, he knew that the tax amount in Wujin and Yixing had such a big drawback, but even if he pitied the two counties for being too heavy on grain, he still did not ask for it, but only won an extra part of the gold and silver for the two counties as compensation. Is Zhou Chen really ignoring the suffering of the people in Wujin and Yixing? No, during his time in Jiangnan, he repeatedly asked for a reduction or exemption of Jiangnan's heavy taxes, and Suzhou alone reduced it from 2.77 million stone to 720,000 stone. ”

However, because of this, he was impeached by Hu Hu and others, and Emperor Xuanzong did not agree to his request to reduce the excessive taxes on some official fields. Because of this, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't mention, and he had to find another way to reform and equalize the burden. Even so, in his later years, this person was impeached by the Kedao Structure, forced to die, and died of illness three years later. Even such a bold and capable minister, he did not dare to say anything about the Yixing Wujin, even if he found another way to reduce the burden of the people, but he was still impeached by the officials, some said that he became chaotic into law, and some said that he wantonly coerced. There are many precedents like this in all dynasties, and the official tax is still the same, how many people do you think will dare to write a letter to ask for a reduction in the age and the party? ”
