The school officials under the hall saw that Liu Xian had mentioned his cronies to the general flag so quickly, and they were even more convinced of their previous conjectures and became more in awe of Liu Xian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Tell me your names."

"The general banner of the lowly post Guang Tianyun has seen an adult!"

"The lowly chief flag stone Gao Zhuo has seen an adult!"

"Humble Banner ......"

......

After Liu Xian memorized their names, he thought that he didn't know anything about the industry and power in the east of the city, so he opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart, who knew that it was one stone that stirred up a thousand waves! The school officials in the hall complained of their bitterness.

Liu Xian was so noisy that he couldn't hear what they were talking about, so he snorted coldly: "You guys look like brocade guards? It's clearly the vendors in the bazaar! Are there any rules? You have to remember that our Jinyi Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, if anyone loses this face, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

was reprimanded by Liu Xian like this, and the speech in the hall stopped. In fact, this can't be blamed on them, it can only be said that the east of the city is not easy to mix, and the people who live in it are all squire clans, although prosperous shops abound, but they are all inextricably linked to those squire clans, either they open or hang in their names, in order to be able to find a backer to avoid taxes.

"Lord Baihu, you were in retreat some time ago, and there are some things that you don't know very well. There is a word in the house that the taxes paid by the hundred households this year are more than 50%, saying that it is for the internal martial arts competition, and if anyone delays and can't pay it, then they will go to our prison! But the east of our city is a squire clan, and we can't even pay the normal taxes in normal times, or the brothers have made up for it, and now we have to add 50% more at once, doesn't it cost us our lives? The chief flag stone Gao Zhuo cried with a sad face, knelt on the ground and choked sadly, he knelt, and the rest of the people also knelt on the ground.

Liu Xian's expression was very serious when he heard this, he originally thought that it was a happy event to be promoted, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big pot waiting for him to carry it.

Jinyiwei is a very special institution, it is considered an army but it is subordinate to the emperor, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the governor's office and household department of the five armies, and it is a self-contained institution. Its funds, salaries, rewards, and appointments are not to be interfered with by outsiders, but are allocated by their superiors. Even the Confucian scholars who were born in the Hanlin Academy could not raise objections or investigate the internal promotions and depreciations of the Jinyi Guard, the fortunes and the funds.

According to them, since Jinyiwei is so special, and it is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they can't even interfere in anything, so the problem of money and food should also be solved by the emperor's inner treasury, and they should not come to them.

Although Emperor Ming ascended the throne for 500 years, the emperor's inner treasury was very wealthy, no matter how special Jinyiwei was, it was still only one of the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the funds it could pay were still limited. In addition, Jinyiwei is divided into three major central towns in the south, middle and north, and the commander of Jinyiwei is from the Zhongzhen Fusi, so the funds allocated to the Zhongzhen Fusi occupy the majority, but the largest number of people, the most widely spread north and south Zhenfu Division, the least funds, except for the imperial capital near the can get enough money, if other places just count on the money from the upper hair down they would have starved to death on the streets.

They can't exchange the cheats, weapons and medicinal materials rewarded by the imperial court for money, so they can only fend for themselves and find a way to solve it themselves. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the geese have plucked the feathers and the people have been peeled, and the brocade guard was born! In addition to inspecting the world, the top priority of Jinyiwei's local guard is to collect taxes! As long as it is on their territory, whether it is a trading shop, a small street vendor, or a street resident, they will not be able to escape the tax collection of Jinyiwei!

In addition to the tax collected to cover his own money, he had to hand over the silver taels for his usual reward. In addition to looking at merit and martial arts cultivation, it depends on how much tax you pay. Generally speaking, as long as the merit is passable, the cultivation is barely okay, and the more you turn in, the faster the promotion will be. Of course, if there is no merit, the martial arts cultivation has not been improved, and even the taxes paid are not enough, then I'm sorry! Jinyiwei is a place that does not raise idlers and good people! Either the staff or the dismissal!

Especially now that it is in the preparatory stage of the Jinyiwei internal martial arts competition, the local Jinyiwei food, drink, housing, transportation and so on need countless silver taels, and these cannot all be paid by the emperor's inner treasury, it is only responsible for the winner's reward at most, and other aspects can only be solved by the local Jinyiwei tax silver taels.

Originally, Jiangcheng was just a small place in Yangzhou, and it was not a rich place, but because of the quiet environment and pleasant scenery, there were always some older squires or clan elders who came here to live their lives. As soon as these old people moved in, the little ones in their family were worried that the old people were not doing well, and they bought a large number of shops in Jiangcheng and used the money to make a profit as the old man's usual expenses.

These squire clans are the most difficult people to mess with, the squires are the descendants of some loyal martyrs who were given some small titles by the Ming Emperor, and the clan is even more troublesome, the family has a population of tens of millions, and all kinds of relationships are complicated.

"Do you want to go to Brother He to intercede as soon as you take office?" As soon as this idea came out, Liu Xian was extinguished, although it was said that the friendship between the two had arrived, as long as he opened his mouth, He Zixuan would definitely help him find a way, but this matter must not be something that he could bear with a thousand households, and if he didn't do it, he would be affected.

"I'll find a way to solve this matter, looking at you like this, it is estimated that you haven't had a good meal for a while, and the people below you are estimated to be even more difficult." Liu Xian looked at the people under the hall and understood the reason why they were so lifeless, and couldn't help but feel a little headache, no matter what method he came up with, the emotions of his subordinates would definitely not work.

"In this case, you can find some people to go to my old house and move all the things, and there is a box with 10,000 taels of silver in it, and you can take out 5,000 taels and divide it as a supplement for you! In addition, I will have a banquet in Piaoxiang Building tonight, so let's talk about this matter. Liu Xian waved his hand and ordered, the 10,000 taels of silver was the pension distributed by his father who died in the court, and now those people are estimated to even have their own money in it because of the matter of paying taxes, if they don't make up for it, I'm afraid they won't even have money for food.

Although this is only a drop in the bucket, but at least it can save their spirit, without the spirit of the next thing is not easy to do, and this can not only quickly accept their hearts, but also let them help themselves move by the way, why not? The 100 households were originally the official residences of the 100 households, and Liu Xian's promotion to the 100 households in the east of the city was naturally to move over.

"My lord, is this appropriate?" The officers under the hall were shocked, they didn't expect that Liu Xian would actually pay out of his own pocket to make up for their money! This is unheard of in Jinyiwei!

"What's out of place? You are my people, if you are so lifeless now, you will lose my face when you go out! ”

As soon as Liu Xian's words came out, the school officials' eyes were moist, their faces were flushed, and their voices choked: "Thank you for your favor!" I am willing to go to the soup for the adults! ”

Among them, Shi Gaozhuo shouted the loudest, but there are elderly parents in his family, and there are young children to be fed, and he can't bring them back this month Looking at them eating bran vegetables with him, he didn't know how many times he cried secretly, and now Liu Xian treats him like this, which makes him feel guilty.

The one who cried the most was Guang Tianyun, he was not like Shi Gaozhuo, who had no old parents in his family, and was also married, he was an orphan. In the Ming Dynasty, orphans can be regarded as the most miserable type of people, unlike the earth with a sound security mechanism and many orphanages, the orphans here belong to a category of people who do not even have an identity, and are lower than the sinners. Sinners are the descendants of ministers who committed major crimes but did not lead to capital crimes and were disgusted by the Ming Emperor, and they could not take the imperial examination, could not enter the military service, could not engage in business, and could only beg along the streets, but the sinners at least had proof of identity. Orphans don't even have identity certificates, and they may be discovered by the patrol at any time, and they will be killed on the street as a rebel!

He was loved by no one since he was a child, he went to the streets to steal money, and it was not easy to raise enough money, so he bribed the official in charge of household registration to make up for his identity and join Jinyiwei. It's just that Jinyi Wei is almost all ruthless and cunning, and now that Liu Xian treats him like this, he has experienced the feeling of being cared for for the first time, and this feeling makes him very excited, and he is very grateful that someone can care for him.
