Two hundred and two, Yan Ne's request

Naturally, everyone's identity determines the most talked about each time, or they are the first to learn about the doorway of their respective yamen, these nerds who were originally very simple, gradually know that the original officialdom doorway is much more complicated than the Four Books and Five Classics, those predecessors who also read the sage books and entered the office, it seems that they have long forgotten Confucius and Mencius morality, and take the initiative to jump into the big dye vat of officialdom to accept baptism, either thinking of ways to make money, or thinking of ways to climb up, in the final analysis, it is still money. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the six departments that have the most no oil and water in the original impression are not exempt from vulgarity, and they also summarized on their behalf that "the officials of the department, the household department of rice, the military department paper, the engineering department charcoal, the criminal department soap, and the etiquette department look", incisively pointed out the source of each department's financial route, and it is very rhyme! I don't know if that senior is so boring!

In this kind of laughter and scolding, imperceptibly, the power of the six departments and Jiuqing Yamen, and the warmth and coldness of human feelings, are entrenched in their chests one by one, and they are of great use to these new officials in the future for officials, even if you are a Qing official who retreats and defends himself, or a science and technology official who makes a living from mouth cannons, you must know these things, otherwise you have to help count the money if you are sold.

Zheng Guangji remembers these things most clearly and eagerly, Xia Yan's words at that time brought him a deep impression that can not be erased in a lifetime, if you want to be a clean official, you must be worse and more treacherous than a corrupt official, so that you will not be killed by a corrupt official, even if your methods are dirty, but as long as your heart is bright, you have not done anything wrong.

In today's vernacular, to deal with hooligans, you have to be more hooligans than hooligans!

Therefore, Zheng Guang will not underestimate any official, Tang Shunzhi's explanation of officialdom, Xia Yan's summary, let Zheng Guang have the most basic understanding of the living environment of the entire officialdom, if you say proficient, it is impossible not to experience it personally, but the entry-level understanding is still no problem, this is like a strategy manual for playing games, if you want to attack the entire Ming officialdom, the commentary manual is the basic equipment.

Not to mention that Zheng Guang is not going to attack the main line in Beijing next, but to go back to the southeast home to attack the Japanese copies, save experience and upgrade, but you have to make friends with the people in Beijing in advance, if something happens at that time, there are still people around the emperor who can say a fair word to him, right? There are still a lot of things to deal with when I return to the southeast, such as the matter of running a book club and engaging in "Zheng Guangguang's Case" that I made an appointment with the bigwigs of psychology earlier, if this thing is done, it will be regarded as taking root in the southeast and developing in Beijing.

Every time he thinks of this, Zheng Guang will also feel a headache, and he will try his best to make friends with these future high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Hanlin Academy and the Yezui cannons, which is actually not what he likes, and even feels a little disgusting and a little difficult to accept, but since he has entered this system, he must do something that people outside the system find very disgusting.

As long as my heart is bright.

Originally, Zheng Guang thought that this initial period of time would be spent so peacefully, until Emperor Jiajing sent him to the southeast Pingwa, and then took him back to marry Die'er, and glorify his ancestors, but things were obviously not as simple as Zheng Guang expected, on the eighth day of work in the Hanlin Academy, the tenth day of the fourth month, and the lunch break after lunch, Yan Ne found Zheng Guang.

"Brother Minqing, what's wrong with you? What do you have to do with me? Want to talk to me alone? Zheng Guang was very puzzled, Yan Ne pulled him to a place where there was no one outside, his face was still a little cramped, he didn't know what was going on, Yan Ne looked at the people around, and said in a low voice: "Pingzhi, there is something, my brother wants to ask you for a favor." ”

Zheng Guang felt strange and said, "It's good to just say no, there's nothing between us that can't be made public, right?" ”

Yan Ne said in a low voice: "It's not that it can't be made public, it's just that this matter is related to our hometown." ”

Zheng Guang was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Ne said with a sad face: "I didn't care about this matter, until the family wrote to say this, I really can't continue to wait and see, you know the southeast widows, although the Su Song widows were pacified by you before, but the number of widows in various places has not decreased too much, large-scale widows did not dare to appear, and the city did not dare to fight, but small-scale widows still ran to the countryside and other places in groups, there was no garrison in the countryside to guard, a large number of people were killed and injured, and they all fled into the city. Naturally, he lost his income and became a refugee.

Since the disaster, according to the past practice, this tax can naturally be reduced or reduced, but the actual situation is not so, my family lives in the city, it is quite stable, and the income is enough, but some relatives in the family are in the countryside to run the land, this disaster will have no income, the tax collectors are still rampant, everyone is almost out of life, they came to my house, begged my father, what can my father and mother do, just write to me, let me see if there is a way to think about it.

But I ...... Pingzhi, you also know that our Hanlin is noble and noble, but if you really want to calculate it, it is not as good as catching fast, and you don't have any power, where can you point fingers at this kind of thing? So after thinking about it, I decided to write to Your Majesty, bluntly talking about the suffering of the land of Sanwu, and asking Your Majesty to allow the affected land to reduce taxes, at least when the court has calmed down the plague, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and then collect taxes! What do you say? ”

Yan Ne's words were like a hammer hammer in Zheng Guang's heart, Zheng Guang knew that his home, his family lived in Suzhou City, it was very safe, and the clansmen were all operating on the shore of Taihu Lake not far from Suzhou City, which was safer, so he didn't have to worry about these things at home, plus after he was admitted to the top rank and became an official, the taxes at home have been exempted, and the clansmen don't have to worry about not being able to pay taxes, and Yan Ne's family is different, they have lost their land and income, how can they afford to pay taxes?

Yan Ne is still an official, and the family of the immediate family can be exempted from taxes, but the collateral family is not exempt, and more people have no official status and no land, how can they afford to pay taxes? Unable to pay their taxes and cornered, what will they do?

"So, what can I do?" Zheng Guang asked.

Yan Ne's face flashed with surprise, and he said: "Let's write a recital together, you and I will sign it, I will be soft-spoken, Pingzhi You are still a person who has made meritorious contributions, let's write it together, the weight is heavier, we can also ask Xia Ge Lao to submit it to Your Majesty, please exempt Your Majesty from local taxes, even if it is not exempted, it must be reduced or reduced, otherwise, this day will really not go on!" Pingzhi, your handwriting is beautiful, you write it, I will dictate it, how about it? ”

Zheng Guang nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

Just do it, it is urgent, Zheng Guang returned to the house, picked up the pen and ink, and Yan Ne went to a room where no one was, Yan Ne dictated the words he had conceived for many days, Zheng Guang exerted his calligraphy skills, a righteous and awe-inspiring regular script will write the hardships of the people in the southeast to the fullest, fully expressing the southeast people's expectation of the tax exemption order as if looking forward to the birth of their own children!

Then, the two went to the cabinet of Xiyuan as Hanlin of Hanlin Academy, and asked for an audience with Xia Yan and Xia Ge.

When Xia Yan heard that Zheng Guang and Yan Ne came to see him, he was a little puzzled, he had never been very concerned about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, his energy was on handling state affairs, even if he took over the post of academician of the Hanlin Academy, it was not him who played the main role, but the rest of the old Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy has always been like this, the old with the young, the old with the new, carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future, so Xia Yan can't even remember how many people there are in the Hanlin Academy.

The data he needs to memorize in his limited brain space are basically the thrilling records of Tobe.

However, he felt that these two people would not come to him for no reason, especially Zheng Guang, the child he felt the most regretful, so after thinking about it, he agreed, and took a few minutes to come out to meet them, which could be regarded as relaxing for himself, Xia Yan put down the pen, rubbed the sore fingers that were writing, moved his spine that was about to stiffen, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, he saw Zheng Guang and Yan Ne appear in front of him.
