Chapter 90: The Storm of Daizhou (Seeking Collection)
Just when Li Jing led people to set off a storm in Chun County, Dai County, the Dai Prefecture in the north, also set off a huge peasant uprising, and the prelude to this uprising was the butterfly wings that Li Jing set off when he crossed into this world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Daixian Rebellion, which originally left almost no record in history, evolved into a microcosm that could almost decide the fate of the country because of Li Jing's vigorous attack on the county seat in the south.
On July 25 of the fourth year of Ming Chongzhen, it was a very ordinary day, but God was today, and it was this event that was greater than inevitable that saved Emperor Taizu in the early stage of entrepreneurship.
Song Guisan is a craftsman under the rule of Daizhou, perennial to do carpentry for large households for a living, all year round, in addition to taxes, but also can save a few silver, the days are also prosperous, living in Daichun two counties border, weekdays temporarily live in the city to work, is it a trip home.
It is said that this person, he can't be idle, once he is idle, he is prone to problems, no, before noon, Song Guisan ended his day's hard work, and happened to make a set of tables and chairs for the big household, which was quite sincere, not only paid all the wages, but also gave a few extra dollars to reward money.
Song Guisan got the money, and took out the small cloth pocket with money on his body, seeing that he had accumulated a lot of money these days, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, these days he saw that the carpenter had less work, so he thought about going home for a few days, and he didn't see his relatives for a long time, and he missed it very much.
In this way, he went to the market to pick up fat and weigh half a catty of pork, thinking that his wife had always wanted to make new clothes, shy face, and entered the fabric shop, and spent a lot of tongue, but in the surprised eyes of others, he took two feet of big red cloth, and asked the store to find some corners and corners, and directly wrapped it and went out.
Just waiting for Song Guisan to walk briskly and on the way home with longing, I am afraid that this thing that is about to happen, I am afraid that he will never forget it for the rest of his life, and this incident triggered a series of subsequent changes, so that many years later, Song Guisan recalled it, and was silent and could only sigh, unwilling to say more.
It is said that Song Guisan's place to do carpentry work in the morning is in the north of the city, and his home is in a small mountain village more than 20 miles south of the city, if you want to go home, you must pass through the county government of Daixian County.
Because the imperial court in order to increase the salary, specially ordered the Shanxi political envoy to pay the tax in advance, so as to use it as military funds, so this year is a month earlier than in previous years to collect taxes, the ancient tax payment, are designated by the grain officials, the people of each village are to pick their own grain to come to pay the tax, which is naturally not mentioned by the greasy means.
Song Guisan has been working in the city from time to time, and most of the objects are also big families, after all, small families can't afford to pay a few dollars, as the so-called big family has gone a lot, and they have heard a lot, not to mention that Song Guisan has a lot of contact with the house stewards, and naturally he also knows the way, but he doesn't care about his own affairs, so he naturally doesn't mention it.
But today, he happened to see that an acquaintance in the township was paying taxes, and he hadn't seen his fellow villagers for a long time, so he couldn't bear it, so he leaned in directly, "Ma Wu, how are you at home?" ”
At this moment, seeing the famous craftsmen in the township greeting his family, he quickly rested, put down the wheat he was carrying, and saw him carrying meat and cloth in his hands, grinning and laughing, "It's still done, it's still done, your third brother is carrying so many things, is this preparing to return to his hometown?" ”
Song Guisan heard the envy of others, and he also took the opportunity to show off, so he stopped and chatted, "Yes, I haven't been home for a long time, and I'm free today, so I'm going to go home and have a look, what's wrong?" Why have you come to pay for your bread today? ”
Ma Wuyi saw this, and looked helpless, "Don't mention it, the chief urges three times a day, and let me come to the county to pay taxes, do you know, my family has more than ten acres of land, all rely on the help of the chief to rent seeds for my family, if it's late, maybe it's called eating the head, where dare not follow it." ”
It's good that I can't catch a personal complaint, and I don't hurry up to say it, "At this time, I will pay taxes, my family doesn't even have a grain in stock, I don't know how to live this year, but who makes us bitter haha no ability." ”
Saying that, he looked at Song Guisan with envy, thinking that he had a good ability and exquisite craftsmanship, in the past, Ma Wu also thought about it, and took the offering, so he wanted to ask Song Guisan to teach one or two, but Dai County is such a big place, Song Guisan can't go to the countryside to beg for a living, where is he willing to follow, just smiled and declined.
This will Song Guisan with the pen these days of saving money, and want to find Ma Wu to return to his hometown to have a good response, regardless of the sun, accompanied by a chat, so time flies, and it will be Ma Wu's turn to pay taxes in a while.
Waiting for the load of wheat that Ma Wu was carrying to go up, Song Guisan stood behind and waited, and after a while, he saw a shout in front of him, "Ouch, uncle, this can't be done, don't bully me honestly." ”
I was suddenly shocked in my heart, isn't this Ma Wu's voice? Song Guisan said that he valued his own craftsmanship in the past, but he was praised in the township.
And on the ground, there was a lot of wheat poured on the ground, and the empty cloth bag was hung on the top of a big hub, revealing the wheat that was not satisfied with the closing of the position, Song Gui saw this, and was shocked, where he didn't know what was going on.
You must know that the Ming generation, with the grain officials to help collect taxes, down to the locality, and to the long to manage the grain supplemented, in the process of tax collection, there are many stealing and treacherous tricks, oppressing the good people, weighing the grain in the big Hu, need the grain to emerge in the Hu, to be enough, over time, the people every time they pay grain, there are many short catties and less two.
In addition, every time the grain is paid, there is always the one who is in charge, come up and kick a few feet with his legs, until the grain with sharp corners is sprinkled on the ground, and it is considered to be completed, and the grain that is spilled is not allowed to be brought back by the farmer's own family, saying that it is used as a loss during transportation, but these few kicks are not kicked at will, and it is necessary to pay attention to a clean and neat, no more, no less, only so that the grain is just parallel to the mouth, which is perfect.
But this young grain officer, obviously did not master the heat, this kick, called the Hu in the grain spilled most of the grain, left in the Hu, about less than thirty percent, Ma Wu was borrowed to pay the tax of the grain, agreed to return after the autumn, where to Yi, suddenly went up to entangle, want to ask for an explanation, the grain officer is also anxious, can't help but shirk, but is not allowed Ma Wu to sweep back.
Seeing that there was a mess at the entrance of the yamen, an older grain official came out and said with a tiger face, "What are you shouting, who dares to make a noise." ”
Seeing Ma Wu entangled with his juniors, he suddenly had a gloomy face, "Let go." ”
With just this sentence, Ma Wu, who was bluffing, let go directly, stayed in place, and didn't dare to say more, the young grain official took the opportunity to break free, Mu Ne went over, looked at the wheat that was sprinkled on the ground, and said with a little self-reproach, "Uncle, I didn't master the heat this time, so I sprinkled more." ”
This is an understatement, but it can be seen by others, and there are relatives in their hearts, where is this a little more sprinkled, almost all of it is spilled, but the older grain official didn't care, and said directly, "This tax payment, there are rules for tax payment, but everything that is spilled is a loss, and you are verbose, you are noisy, and you are asked to lock you up." ”
In this way, to scare him, Ma Wu didn't dare to make any more trouble, for fear of going in to eat in prison, that is why he should not be every day, so he had to come up only at this moment, and brought a bag of wheat over, and continued to pour it in according to the grain official's instructions.
Seeing that he stepped out of the Hukou, he no longer fell, and the young grain officer Xu had just done something wrong, and no longer spoke, Ma Wuyi was happy, and immediately thought it was over, but the old grain official snorted on the side, came up and took Hu, squeezed him aside, and directly stepped on the Hu with deep boots and stepped on it a few times, and saw that the wheat instantly sank a few points, which was obviously not enough.
Ma Wu was dumbfounded, and was suddenly helpless on the side, muttering in his mouth, "My Di Niang, wasn't it full just now?" ”
Seeing that the grain officer's deep boots were stained with a lot of wheat, he had the heart to defend himself, but he was glared at by the grain officer fiercely, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak, but just pinched his own grain bag and stood in place.
"Lack of scales, pour again!" When the old grain officer said this, he stepped back and stared, only to see Ma Wu standing motionless, and suddenly glanced at the young grain official.
That year, the young grain official got support, and he also woke up at this moment, thinking about his uncle's instructions before the tax, thinking that these were his own income, why don't you hurry up, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't hurry up and continue to fall, is it difficult, you dare to resist taxes?!" ”
Ma Wu's face is changing again and again, at this moment is the heart of eating people, thinking that his family has picked up a large load of wheat, set off last night, asked people to take it to the county and spent 20 big money, not to mention, waiting for the tax to be paid on an empty stomach in the morning, at this time the tax is paid a bag, and the grain official only wrote down three buckets and five liters, where can he bear it, this load of wheat is so heavy, where there are only three buckets and five liters, but he just stood still in place, his face was swollen and red.
"If you don't pay it, pick up your wheat back, and come back tomorrow, don't delay the tax payment of the next person!" How many times has the old grain official experienced paying taxes, and he was afraid of this, so he sneered directly, threw a sentence, and signaled the young grain officer to sweep the wheat that was sprinkled on the ground, and put it on and take it away, obviously this part will not be returned to him.
At this moment, the people behind him also urged, telling Ma Wu to pay taxes quickly, and rumors kept coming, which made people angry, but unfortunately Song Guisan was worried that his fellow villagers were being bullied at the moment, so he hurriedly came up and pulled, bowed his head and said, "Don't be impulsive, we can't afford to provoke, hurry up and pay for food." ”
He put down the pork cloth again, touched a string of ten big coins in his arms, and came out without a trace, came to the old grain chief, handed it over, and said in a low voice, "Accommodating one, accommodating one, we country people, don't understand, please be accommodating." ”
The grain officer took the copper coin, put it in his sleeve, and looked at the tax payment line behind him, not wanting to delay the time, and fearing that something would end badly, so he nodded to the weighing grain officer.
Song Guisan turned around and persuaded Ma Wu a few words, then he coaxed him to take the bag up, and continued to pour it, seeing that the bag was gradually empty, and he didn't see the flat mouth, Ma Wu gradually became anxious, and directly threw out a sentence, "When I was in the eldest family, it was not like this, it was more than a stone!" ”
According to the rules, his land, counting other taxes, should pay one stone and two buckets this season, but now, this stone is not full, he came to the Chang's house to weigh it, not to mention one stone and five buckets, it is far beyond this tax, thinking that there is still some money left to buy some salt, and now the hope is all shattered, where is willing to follow, directly shouting out.
"What's the shouting, didn't I still detain you?" The old grain officer came up, glanced at Hu Dou, and said, "There are only eight buckets." ”
He went to get the account book again, pointed to the name of Ma Wu, and said, "I should take one stone and two buckets, but there are more than four buckets missing, and I will make up for it tomorrow." ”
said, after receiving the roster, he was about to leave, then Song Guisan was about to open his mouth when he saw Ma Wu, afraid that he would do something bad, so he hurriedly pulled it, looked at it again, whispered a few words, and finally told him to be quiet for a while, so he came over and took ten big money, but unfortunately this time, the grain official didn't look at it, and directly ignored him.
This matter should not be taken care of by Song Guisan, and he is not qualified to take care of it, but unfortunately he is also in a hurry, and his righteous and insistent temperament on weekdays makes him unable to look at it, seeing Ma Wuliu God standing in place without a master, wanting to cry without tears, his heart is full of justice, and when he saw the grain official looking at him with contempt, his face suddenly became hot, and he threw away a sentence, "Don't deceive me, you and I are clear about the Tao in this." ”
When the grain official heard this, he glanced at him contemptuously, and secretly said that he was also a bitter haha, who to scare......
