Chapter Forty-Seven: I'm Dependent on You!

The morning hall early the next morning was the most lively in Shexian Yamen these days. In addition to the master of Wu and the history of Luo Dian, as well as the many six-room officials and the third-class officials, there were more than a dozen old and young people in different clothes, who were waiting for the morning hall in the corridor. If it was placed at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the grain chiefs of all districts were all first-class gentry, and no county governor would dare to let people stand under the corridor and wait for them so loudly. However, more than 100 years have passed since that golden age, and most grain chiefs no longer have any pride on their faces, on the contrary, there are many miserable and miserable relatives.

When you become a grain chief, it's a bankruptcy! Fortunately, now it's not a lifetime, but a year, otherwise you would have hanged yourself!

Of course, there are a few people who are calm and composed, and obviously have other plans. Compared with some people who regard the grain chief as a fatal business, they regard it as a fragrant glutton, which is a rural tyrant who runs rampant in the name of the grain chief. In contrast, Wu Tianbao stood there, his eyes were looking left and right, and he was really absent-minded. Because he hasn't seen Wang Fulin until now!

Even if his father can't catch up in Hankou, Wang Fulin, as his son, must be there today! Even if you fight in court, you have to have someone to come!

"I've been promoted!"

The voice of tearing his throat came from inside, and Wu Tianbao became even more anxious. Just when he looked outside the door for the last time, he finally found Wang Fulin's figure in a beautiful shirt. With a long sigh of relief, he quickly cheered up, stopped looking around, and entered with the others without squinting. Because the news was not well-informed enough, he had never seen the county zun with his own eyes before, and he didn't even notice that it was not Ye Xianzun who was promoted today, but was replaced by Fang Xiancheng.

He didn't find it, and most of the grain chiefs didn't find it either, but a few people already knew about this change, including Wang Fulin, who took the back door of the county magistrate's office as his own back door.

Therefore, when the grain chiefs saluted one by one, only Wang Fulin, who was ranked last, was a showman, and he did a salute. Although this move seemed very eye-catching, Fang Xiancheng was not very confident, so he simply avoided his gaze, did not look at the little show talent at the end, and said some words of encouragement with a shelf. Just when he was speaking for the first time, he finally found Ye Junyao's gushing feeling, and when he spoke extremely energetically, he suddenly heard an extremely sinister voice from his head.

"Dare to ask Fang Eryin, there are many households in She County, and there are rich families everywhere, when do you need the father of the derivative to be the food chief?"

Wang Fulin stepped on the point and stood at the end, except for Wu Tianbao, who had been paying attention to him, most of the grain chiefs didn't notice him at all. At this time, they turned back one after another, and when they found that the person standing at the end of their ranks was actually a young Xiucai who was fourteen or fifteen years old, there was a commotion. Others noticed what he had just called, and it was even more surprising at this time.

Do you dare to love that the person who sits on the seat of the county order and gives orders is not the county honor, but only the county magistrate?

Judging from the two incidents of Mingluntang and Xin'anmen, Zhao Sicheng thought that Wang Fulin was just a little talented and impulsive, and he had long expected that today's Xiaoxiu would definitely make trouble in public, so he glanced at Fang County, who was a little unprepared on the main seat, and signaled him to be a little restless, so he stood up unhurriedly.

Wang Xiaoxiang's words are wrong. It must be known that Grandpa Taizu set the exemption of officials and meritorious people from military service, and the exemption was always miscellaneous errand service, not Lijia regular service! For example, during the orthodox years, Grandpa Yingzong issued a decree that in the homes of civil and military officials in Beijing, except for the regular service of Lijia, the rest should be exempted from miscellaneous errand service. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Fulin with mocking eyes, and then continued: "This is still the case for civil and military officials in Beijing, let alone students? Lijia is the only righteous offering, this is the purpose of Grandpa Taizu, all the subjects in the world must be errands, this is the ancestral system, it is the rule! ”

At the beginning, Wang Qiu had been so fooled in front of him, and Wu Lichang had also relayed it, but now Wang Fulin is not Wuxia Ameng. Not to mention that he just spent a day and a night digesting the entire "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles", and he has been exposed to all kinds of stereotypes for several days, and he also deliberately went to the bookstore to read the corresponding articles in the "Daming Huidian", and asked Liu Hui and Zhao Wuye for a lot of advice.

The so-called Lijia regular service, refers to the collection of taxes and grains, as well as the supply of materials according to the apportionment of the above, and then there are all kinds of public expenses to be apportioned by the government. As for miscellaneous errand service, this is the actual sense of the errand, such as what river workers, post men, menzi, chefs, horsemen and the like, after Hongzhi also called Junzi. On the surface, the official gentry's family is exempted from military service only from the latter, not from the former, but in practice, in most cases, as long as there is a talent and fame, any errand service can be exempted, and the other two close male Ding can be exempted from any errand service at the same time.

It's the same as tax exemption, it is said that a talent is only exempt from two stones of tax, but in fact, most of them are not paid no matter how many acres of land they have in their name. Not only She County, but everywhere in the world does this, otherwise how could the famous Xu Jiexu Ge old man have so much land at home? In addition to land annexation, there are also people who want tax exemption who flock to the past. If you really follow the tax exemption quota stipulated by the imperial court, not to mention that one Xu Ge Lao is not enough, I am afraid that a hundred will not be enough to fill in. But this unwritten system is so magical, Xu Ge still doesn't pay a penny. As a result, the taxes rated by the state and county are all apportioned to the small people!

Of course, as soon as Xu Ge fell, these lands plus his son would be unlucky. This is reckoning, and it has nothing to do with stereotypes. Therefore, although this is against the ancestral system, no one dares to violate the old rules!

Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't speak, Zhao Sicheng thought that he was choked by his words, and said unhurriedly: "When Grandpa Taizu and Grandpa Chengzu were in power, there were inmates who studied in Guozijian, because they undertook the regular service of Lijia at home, gave up their studies and went home, and waited until Lijia finished serving their regular service, and then returned to Guozijian, which was a good story for a while, and now Wang Xiaoxianggong wants to be exempted from Lijia Zhenggong by virtue of his fame, how can this be what a scholar should be?" What's more, in the six counties of Huizhou Prefecture, the old practice of the family of the student being the chief of the grain has always been there......"

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, stop your work." Wang Fulin suddenly interrupted the guy who was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, and said with a slight smile, "You are not tired of talking, I am also tired of listening." What I just said, it seems that you have only listened to half of it, you listen well, what I am saying is that because there are many rich families in this county, my family is only more than 100 acres of land, how can my father be assigned as a grain chief? The premise is that there are many wealthy families in this county, so it is not my father's turn to be the grain chief of a district, not that I am a student, and the family is unwilling to be the grain chief, please listen to this premise clearly. ”

Seeing that Zhao Sicheng was stunned for a moment, he took advantage of this effort, and said unhurriedly: "Although there are more than 130 acres of land in my family, I am fourteen this year, and my adopted son Jinbao is eight years old, all of whom are under the age of sixteen, and have not yet become a Ding, and my father is out in business, that is to say, although there are acres of land in my family, there is only one Ding. And Zhao Siyi's house, there are a total of 153 acres of land, there are three shops in Shexian County, and there are a total of seven men in the family, at least in the last 40 years, he has never been sent a grain chief, am I not mistaken? ”

Wang Fulin kept talking about the rich family, but he knew that if he really wanted to involve those rich and noble families in She County, who had a huge amount of money, he was simply beyond his means, so his sudden heart-piercing arrow actually pointed at Zhao Sicheng himself! Seeing that the grain chiefs who were still looking at him with mockery on their faces at first had different faces for a while, and Zhao Sicheng no longer had the freedom he had just now, but looked wolf and unbearable under the surprise, he threw another trick.

"Just comparing fields and acres, comparing Ding Nan, I know that Zhao Si must be very unconvinced, so we might as well compare our family resources. The villagers of Songmingshan are well known, although my family has land, but it is not rich, eating vegetables and grains produced in the field, wearing the most ordinary cotton cloth, that is, I went to school this time, only bought the only silk silk, a total of two horses, with less than one or two halves of silver, and there is no money to communicate with relatives on weekdays.

Although my father was out in business, he had no permanent property, no shop, and even because he was shy in his pocket, he did a loss-making business in the first few years, and now he has not come back once in these years, so this time he fell ill outside, and when his mother rushed over to serve the sick, he also took away all the savings of the family over the years, a total of fifty taels of silver. And Zhao Si is in She County, the cost of favors is generous, I heard that the people who are often fifty or twenty taels do not say, and they also put money out of the house, with a monthly interest of five cents, a total of a few hundred taels, in contrast, who has more family resources, everyone should be clear. ”

For a long time, Wang Fulin has given people the impression that he is a little talented, reckless and impulsive, not only Zhao Sicheng, but also the officials of the six rooms do not know that during his activities in the city, almost all his hopes were pinned on the county magistrate Ye Junyao, and he ran around the county government all day long, and almost regarded the county magistrate as his back door. Therefore, no one expected that Wang Fulin would suddenly point the finger at Zhao Sicheng, and almost turned out Zhao Sicheng's family background in this way.

Zhao Sicheng, who finally reacted, was almost mad. He had already realized that Wang Fulin had played a trick, but he thought that the other party was secretly cultivating the plank road, and quietly checked his own background. He was about to launch a fierce counterattack, but then he saw Wang Fu Lin Chong showing an incomparably bright smile to himself. At that moment, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Therefore, since Zhao Si has been talking about the ancestral system, then, I have built the Hongwu ancestral system in the former fifteen grain districts of Yuyi County, and each district has one and two deputy grain chiefs. As far as I know, Zhao Siyi and my family originally belonged to a large grain area. So, please ask Zhao Si to be the chief of the grain, although I am not a Ding, but I am willing to share my father's worries and serve as his deputy, so that it can be regarded as real fairness, what do you think? ”

It's simply ...... What a bummer!

PS1: Recently, I found out that the people of the Ming Dynasty and even the palace often added the word grandfather, so it was not Banzai Grandpa but Banzai Grandpa. But this is mainly used for the sake of ^_^ joy

PS2: Finally hit the top of the new book list on Monday, and it was also on the member click list! Thanks to the old cat, thanks to the clichΓ© lazy cat...... It was these two cat brothers who strongly recommended me to break through!
