Regarding the specific measures for the collection of the regular practice, Qin Lin also has some opinions: "Is it all the military surplus to collect the regular money now?" ”

Han Feilian shook his head helplessly: "Not now, the military surplus can't bluff people, those small merchants and hawkers can still pay in full, and the powerful merchants see that you are a military surplus, and they won't even let the door in, let alone take the money!" ”

Qin Linqi said: "Why doesn't the Zhengjun go?" ”

Han Feilian sighed: "If you accidentally provoke a powerful person, he will sue you to the Thousand Households and even Nanzhen Fusi, even if you don't pick up this skin, you have to eat a lot of hanging, and the brothers still want to wear this flying fish suit for a few more years." ”

The military surplus who is bold and has no scruples in doing things, and his own low status cannot bluff people; has a formal identity and a relatively large deterrent lieutenant, but he is afraid of inadvertently offending the powerful and ruining his future.

Just by the surplus army to collect the routine, the intensity is much weaker.

How much regular silver can be received from the merchant is closely related to the income of the brocade guards, hearing Han Feilian and Qin Lin discussing the regular levy, the captains all gathered around, and you and I complained endlessly.

Qin Lin had previously learned some knowledge of the tax system of the Ming Dynasty from Lu Yuanzhi's mention of the situation of his butcher's shop, and now through the mouths of the captains, he can be regarded as having a more comprehensive understanding.

It turned out that the taxes levied by the Ming Dynasty were extremely low, and in terms of commercial taxes, it was unimaginably low thirty taxes! If the businessmen in Europe who pay the eleventh tax of the church and have to pay the lord tax know that the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty is so low, I am afraid that they will queue up to apply for the green card of the Ming Dynasty.

So were the merchants of the Ming Dynasty really so happy?

The answer is no, because the burden of bad rules and regulations other than the positive tax is extremely heavy, and even far exceeds the regular tax.

Compared with the indiscriminate collection of fees in later generations, the bad rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty were actually more reasonable, or they had been institutionalized, and became one of the economic bases for maintaining the regime.

This is because when Zhu Yuanzhang was established, Ming Taizu set a very small number of officials, for example, there were only 12 officials in the sixth room of the Qizhou Yamen, and the wardens were the regular officials of the economic system who ate the emperor's grain, and in the following two hundred years, the population multiplied, the market was prosperous, and the things to be done by the government became more and more complicated.

According to the system, there should only be ten archers and five horse servants in the state, but this person can't even deal with a slightly larger group of robbers, let alone suppress the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, so he had to recruit helpers outside of the main service (that is, the assistant police of later generations, haha).

The imperial court will not work for these non-economic officials and helpers, so the state government must collect bad rules and practices from top to bottom through the names of "drenching the tip and kicking the fire" and "fire consumption" to support these non-establishment personnel.

On the other hand, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were the lowest in all dynasties, and as prices rose, the salaries became more and more insufficient, and at the same time, the salaries of the guards, including the Jinyi Guard, had to be deducted layer by layer, and the hands were pitiful.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty paid relatively low court taxes and at the same time paid bad rules and regulations, which was also reasonable and formed a tacit understanding, in fact, in Qin Lin's view, it was somewhat similar to the national and local tax division implemented in later generations.

However, the ugly rules and regulations are still very different from the regular taxes stipulated in the text, and the biggest problem is that there is a big impeachment in the collection, and everyone pays the regular taxes in the imperial court according to the regulations, but the gentry and dignitaries can often rely on their power to evade the bad rules and conventions.

There is a fixed number of clerks, assistants, and even captains in brocade clothes who should be subsidized and supported by bad rules and conventions in a locality, and the yamen will never say that the gentry will dismiss the secretary office if they don't hand it over, but it will only transfer the share of bad rules and conventions that the gentry refuse to pay to the common people, thus increasing the burden on the common people -- some time ago, Lu Yuanzhi's butcher shop was a little overwhelmed by bad rules and regulations because it had no officialdom backer.

At present, the problem faced by Han Feilian's small banner is that because several merchants who have a relationship with the generals' mansions of various princes, towns, and countries no longer pay the usual rules, and their monthly income is twenty taels less than in previous years, if the other party continues to resist the payment, either the brocade guards grit their teeth and endure the reduction in income, or they will pass on this part of the loss to the powerless small merchants and hawkers.

Some people say that they can't afford to provoke those county kings, Zhenguo generals, and auxiliary generals, so everyone should take less, eat less meat a few times a month, and some people say that the share will be distributed to other shops...... Some of the regular army accused the military surplus of being ineffective, and the military surplus complained that the regular army was unwilling to come forward to take responsibility, and there was no agreement.

Han Feilian was embarrassed: "Alas, the first day I should have happily picked up the wind for Brother Qin, but everyone complained endlessly, we are all rough people, Brother Qin don't laugh." ”

Qin Lin scratched his scalp, "I have an idea." ”

All the brocade-clothed guards below Han Feilian pricked up their ears to listen to him.

"As I said earlier, those merchants who cling to the powerful don't know how to lift, it's useless for you to grind with him, you have to come hard," Qin Lin stopped, and when he saw everyone nodding, he continued to say: "Regarding the dirty work of beating people, smashing shops, and stealing things, it should still be done by the unconcerned military brothers; However, the brothers of the regular army can not be lazy, every two or three soldiers have to follow a regular army, and when they encounter the government to catch the people or the guards to disrupt the situation, the regular army will deal with it, and they dare not catch the real Jinyi captain and the Son of Heaven's pro-army. ”

An older lieutenant blinked: "Then what if I accidentally provoke someone who has a noble official's backing, or if I go too far and have an accident?" If he continues to make trouble under government control and provincial control, we are also very annoyed! Wasn't it bad luck to accidentally be stripped of this flying fish suit? ”

Qin Lin slapped his palms and smiled: "So I said that the dirty work and black work are all done by the military brothers, and when the time comes, people really want to control it, let's fire this military remnant, and it can also be prevaricated." ”

As soon as he heard this, all the military remnants' faces darkened, and they said in their hearts, you are really not a thing, use us as a shield, isn't Jun Yu a person?

Han Feilian's heart was not bad, and he immediately shook his head and refused: "Isn't this too much?" Although Brother Junyu is not a registered regular soldier, after all, he also eats the bowl of rice of Jinyiwei......"

Qin Lin blinked: "Brother Han himself said that Brother Junyu has no military status. ”

Han Feilian was not stupid, he had already realized three points at this moment, and said with wide eyes: "What does Brother Qin mean?" ”

The corners of Qin Lin's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Since there is no military status in the first place, what difference does it make if you don't open the revolution?" Let's get out of business today, and tomorrow we will recruit this brother from the army, Team A will get him out, and Team B will recruit him again, who can control it? ”

"Oh my mother," Han Feilian was stunned for a long time before exclaiming, "Brother Qin, why do you have such a brain?" It's a shame that you can figure it out! ”

Qin Lin's stomach was about to hurt with laughter, this is how the legendary invincible temporary worker was refined.

The rest of the army also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it wasn't really a revolution, it turned out that we also had a temporary worker aura protector, and it turned out that the little army Yu could also kill the Quartet......

Han Feilian patted Qin Lin on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "Then, in the future, Brother Qin will be solely responsible for the work of leading the army to collect the standing practice." ”

Belch? Qin Lin was stunned.

Han Feilian handed over this matter to him, in fact, he still had the intention of wooing, after all, the monthly income of one hundred and ten taels of silver could also leave a lot of benefits after passing over.

As everyone knows, Qin Lin didn't care about a few taels of silver at all, and seeing the expectant expressions of the brocade-clothed guards, he had no choice but to nod his head and accept it, and secretly said in his heart that he would take this matter down, but it was a bit of a cocoon.

Without further ado, Qin Lin led the brocade clothes to a Qinglou in the east of the city to resist the common practice, which was said to be the property of a certain housekeeper in the royal mansion of Fanshan County.

First sent Zhao Yiming, the leader of the army, to find the old bustard, but Zhao Yiming, who was wearing a mandarin duck jacket, was stopped at the gate, and several open-chested thugs hugged their arms with bad intentions, squinted their eyes, and clearly did not put this brocade soldier in their eyes: "Where did the wild dog come from?" Hurry up, where to go back and forth, don't stand in the way at the gate of the master! ”

Tsk, Qin Lin shook his head and walked up, "What's the matter, let's do things in Jinyiwei, and it depends on your face?" ”

Seeing the captain wearing a flying fish suit coming up, the old bustard with heavy makeup ran out, and said sharply: "This uncle~ Our Chunfeng Building is the property of the old man in charge of the horse of the Wangfu of Fanshan County, if you know each other, you should go back obediently, no Jinyi Wei has never dared to come here to collect the routine." ”

Qin Lin sighed and took two steps back.

The old bustard thought he was proud, and laughed dryly: "The young man is useless, it's a silver-like wax spear head, do you want my sister to ......?"

But seeing Qin Lin winked at Zhao Yiming, a group of military surplers took out iron rulers and short sticks from under their clothes, and hit them with a hula.

Junyu was originally a brave and ruthless gangster, and he was the best at smashing, and several bodyguards in the Qinglou were caught off guard, and they were put to the ground when they landed, and the junyu rushed into the lobby and made a fuss.

The old bustard splashed and rolled on the ground: "It's amazing, it's amazing, the eagle's talon is killing, help!" ”

"Who are you messing around here?" A strange voice came down from the second floor, followed by footsteps descending the stairs.

Lao Bustard Sairu got a savior, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Grandpa Zhang, they are all robbers, you have to administer justice for us!" At the same time, she stared at Qin Lin viciously, with a clear expression that said, "You are dead."

"What a bold bandit, do you still take King Jing's Mansion and our family in your eyes? It's the army, go back and take the piece of the prince and hand it to Qizhou Wei, it's the people, and send it to the state yamen......"

The father-in-law spoke sharply, and slowly paced down the stairs, and the old bustard hurriedly went over and grabbed it, like a life-saving straw - the king of Fanshan County is the king of Jing's concubine, and in fact, he is not very well received in the imperial court, let alone the horse steward who is the backer of Chunfeng Lou; However, this Gonggong Zhang is a popular man in front of the prince of King Jing, and his power is much greater in comparison.

Qin Lin waited for a long time, his smile was very indifferent.

On the contrary, Gonggong Zhang was frightened at the first sight of him, waved his sleeves angrily and shook off the bustard, trotted to Qin Lin, and was careful: "Why did Qin Gongzi become a brocade guard?" The little one never congratulated, and it was rude. You haven't been to the palace for a few days, and my prince and the prince of my family have said that they are very worried......"

The old bustard was stunned.

It turned out that this father-in-law was Zhang Xiaoyang, the eunuch of the Jingwang Mansion Chengfeng Division, and he saw how King Jing Chitose was humble to Qin Lin, and said in his heart that he secretly came to visit the Qinglou, don't be told by Qin Lin about the prince or Chitose.

Qin Lin looked at Zhang Xiaoyang with a smile, the eunuchs who didn't have it below actually came to visit the Qinglou, it must be a fake phoenix. This father-in-law is not very old, and he has a lot of flowers, but he is also funny.

Zhang Xiaoyang turned around and slapped the old bustard in the face: "What does Gongzi Qin command, won't you follow it?" Both the Chitose Lord and the Prince treat Qin Gongzi like a guest, how many heads do you dare to disobey his old man?! ”

The old bustard had nothing to say, his eyes turned a few times, and when the real bitch's face changed, he suddenly piled up a smile on his face, and raised his handkerchief: "Oh, Lord Qin, why didn't you say it earlier?" Someone's coming, quickly take out the usual routine~ No, add double copies according to the number, count us Chunfeng Lou to congratulate Lord Qin! ”

Qin Lin motioned to Zhao Yiming to accept the silver, and refused the invitation of the old bustard to find a few girls to accompany the wine.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoyang's anxious look, Qin Lin guessed that most of the eunuchs were not allowed to visit the Qinglou, so he comforted him for a while, saying that he would not say anything.

Gonggong Zhang was grateful, and in turn begged Qin Lin to have the opportunity to say a few good words for him in front of the prince and the prince in the future, and finally sat in a small sedan chair and returned to Jingwang's mansion.

Since Chunfeng Lou has been subdued, other gambling halls in the academy have also followed the trend, especially when I heard that the captain who took the lead was the Qin Ye who made Huang Lianzu suffer several times, and no one dared to slap flies on the tiger's head, Qin Lin's trip was extremely smooth.

When the rest of the army was idle, Qin Lin did not let them go out to harm the common people, but practiced their professional skills in Han Feilian's courtyard.

So the surrounding people can often hear the shouts over the wall, which is so sonorous and powerful: "The embroidered spring knife is a thunderbolt, and the Daming eagle dog is a brocade cloth!" Steel is made of liver and sausage, iron is made of gall, and the family and the country are united. Resistance to tax payment must be cracked down, the wind forest volcano is famous, smashed must be ruthless, beaten must be rotten, and moving away goods is the norm! ”

Qin Lin hit by mistake, and even a few years later, the Jinyi army became an elite army under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Twenty years later, Mr. Miyamoto Musashi, a wandering martial artist from Dongying, saw and heard when he was performing tricks in the port of Ningbo: "When the flying bricks and countless fists and kicks that could not see the way blocked the Japanese in the port, I really can't imagine that this is just a small army of brocade clothes...... If the samurai under the cherry blossom tree are dust, then the brocade army of the Ming Dynasty is definitely a sandstorm! ”
