Yan Shannong, who is known as the iron knee, naturally will not really advise Zheng Guofan not to offend the powerful, not to mention that as the saying goes, once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out, Zheng Chengguan is now extremely powerful, and even the governor of Dongchang has been offended, are you still afraid of offending people! As for low-key, only wealthy nobles who have been hairpins for generations are qualified to be low-key, such as a well-behaved official, who is newly developed, low-key will be regarded as a person who sucks carbuncles and licks hemorrhoids.

In the next five hundred years, even the old boy knows that he will cut the boss to the top position, as the so-called if you want to be bullish and pretend to be forced first, throughout history, those newly developed wealthy families are arrogant, and it is based on this truth, otherwise who knows who you are. This principle is magnified to the family and the country, and narrowed down to the individual.

The obedient official naturally knew that Old Man Yan was joking with him, and he was choked with saliva, so he had to roll his eyes at Old Man Yan.

Hai Rui came to the Humble Administrator's Garden and took the initiative to carry the black cauldron, Fan Yuheng instigated the Suzhou scholars to make trouble, and finally walked under the door of Uncle Guo, and the obedient officials are also very busy now, and they can't wait to finish everything in one day, but it is by no means a day to pull back the Chinese civilization that is rushing to the cliff from the original trajectory.

Just when the grain turmoil in Suzhou gradually died out, Yan Shannong's article on the gentry paying grain in one piece finally responded, that is, Luo Rufang, the political secretary of Yunnan, gave the imperial court a [please accept salt, iron, tea, horses, and ten taxes on business], Shuzhong said that the Burmese Wang Mang should be a thief and a thief, and repeatedly offended our dynasty, and the swords and soldiers in Yunnan were in great trouble, so please pay the commercial tax on the spot to supplement the military salary, and cry poor and said that many military guards in Yunnan have not had any salary for several years, otherwise, there may be a sudden change.

This Mr. Luo Rufang, who in the world doesn't know, that is Yan Shannong's proud disciple, the cabinet read the excerpt, and there is the cabinet old Xu Guoda scolded Luo Rufang for holding his teacher's stinky feet, saying that he [shook the imperial court], but who in the government and the opposition does not know, Xu Guo Xu Ge Lao is the leader of the Hui merchants, and the Hui merchants control half of the salt tea business in the Ming Dynasty, this fold is to dig out the silver in the pocket of the Hui merchants, what shakes the court, shakes your Huizhou Chamber of Commerce is true!

The imperial history of the Ming Dynasty has always been famous for [impeachment for the sake of impeachment], in fact, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, as long as they become officials, almost have almost no experience of not being impeached, even if Hai Rui is so incorruptible, vegetables and vegetables have to be cultivated in the yard by their own old servants, and they have been impeached, what is the crime of impeachment? said that he killed his wife, which caused Hai Rui to have to defend himself, but the actual situation was that Hai Rui's wife and concubine died of illness.

It can be said that the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty is similar to the paparazzi five hundred years later, and everyone in the world knows a little thing that can magnify you, and the next day of the Ming Dynasty is rich at this time, and there are many people who do not produce books, just like a satirical poem said [Manchengwen is running, and there are square scarves everywhere], it is said that there were 500,000 meritorious people in Jiangnan at that time.

These 500,000 otaku have nothing to do, what are they doing? [Good beautiful maid, good prostitution, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good fireworks, good pear orchards, good advocacy ......], look, what is the difference between the otaku on the Internet five hundred years later [passing by playing soy sauce] and adding a sentence [begging for sister paper, seeking to stir the base]? To put it bluntly, four words, it's so idle that it hurts.

Once people are full of food and drink, they will naturally gossip about the heart of nothing, basically a fold of the imperial court, as soon as the newspaper is published, it will soon form a wave of discussion, such as the last big defeat of the Burmese army in Yunnan, published in the newspaper, and then it will start from the [Emperor Ming mighty], talk about it, and then it will be the same as five hundred years later, it will be crooked, and it will talk about the sister paper tender in Yunnan, or maybe it is a small country in Myanmar, we are brilliant and bright, it is better to put the captured enemy back, so as to appear to be a country, Or maybe it is better to say that the emperor might as well send troops to destroy Little Burma, it is best to pay a few beauties into the palace, maybe I have to talk about catching Burmese beauties, I am afraid it will also be sent to Zhang Juzheng Zhang Ge's old mansion, and then it will definitely talk about whether Zhang Ge Lao engaged in Burmese beauties is male or female, Zhang Ge will definitely take medicine to help him when he is old, this aphrodisiac is to take sea dog pills or seahorse powder...... This is not conjecture, open the Mingren's notes, read carefully, almost this tune, in short, four words, idle eggs.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial history was impeached, naturally some impeached Xu Guo Xu Ge Lao said that he harbored the township party, and some impeached Luo Rufang, who participated in Yunnan politics, said that he threatened the imperial court, in short, it was very lively, and then, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven began to discuss, this salt, iron, tea, and horse ten taxes and one, will it affect our people, and then there was a small turmoil, saying that the salt merchants would definitely raise the price of salt, and Cao Yun had just tossed for a while, I was afraid that the price of salt would rise, for a while, the price of salt in Yanjing City rose by three dollars of silver, and the people's usual greetings also changed from [Have you eaten] became[Did you buy salt today?]

Then, this wind spread along the canal to the south, and soon spread to the south of the Yangtze River, the obedient official listened to Wang Qilai's report, and couldn't help laughing, he thought about it, and let people erect a tall and big sign outside the Humble Administrator's Garden, which was written in pavilion style [Salt merchants who raised prices without authorization to privately hide iron armor seven pay theory], which suddenly made some lucky businessmen like pouring a basin of ice water on their heads.

The heads of the people killed in Suzhou are rolling, and there are countless scholars who have lost their fame, and Shi Hairui, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is holding a bright knife, and Zheng Guofan, the governor of the capital, is sharpening the knife next to Huo Huo, who dares to touch the head at this time, although it is said that [buying and selling is trading], as long as it is a good business, the head killing must be done secretly, but it can be done blatantly, that is brainless.

The people's reaction to this excerpt is only food, clothing, housing and transportation, and officials in various places have brains and have begun to ponder, you know, Yan Shannong wrote an article that suggested that the business tax should be paid two points to the imperial court, and eight points should be left in the locality, this Luo Rufang said that the salt and iron tea and horses are ten taxes and one, what a big benefit that is! For a while, all of them had red eyes.

In the five hundred years of later generations, there are posts that say that the average annual income of Ming officials is about 300,000, which proves that the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, but he examines the gold and silver exchange ratio and the ancient and modern exchange ratio, but does not consider the environment of the Ming Dynasty at that time, for example, the imperial court has a post station, which is equivalent to the later generations of officials with cars, officials have official offices, which is equivalent to the later generations of officials to divide the house, but do not consider the staff and knife and pen salaries of officials who handle government affairs are not issued by the court but by the officials themselves. What's more, at that time, the officials could not move thousands of miles when they took office, and the little silver issued by the imperial court was not enough at all, and considering the traffic at that time, it was not impossible for officials to die on the way to office. In addition, the Ming Dynasty talks about the clan, an official is an official, and the seven aunts and eight aunts come to the door, you must spend money to raise it, otherwise, wait for the impeachment of the imperial history! If you say that you are impersonal, you will definitely be dismissed.

If there are fellow villagers who come to the door in the same year to fight the autumn wind, you have to give a sum of silver, and if you come from a neighboring county, you have to give ten taels or twenty taels! Come over from the neighboring province, you have to give one hundred and two hundred and two hundred taels! If you don't give it, you can't give it, and if you don't give it, your reputation in the officialdom will stink, and the end will almost be dismissed...... If you don't embezzle, then you have to find another way, what to do, scold the emperor! Once you become famous and promoted, then someone will admire you and give you silver, which is not bribery, because people simply admire you and do not ask you to do things.

Therefore, most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are almost extremely short of silver, such as a county order, 90 stone meters a year, and the silver is about 50 taels.

Not everyone is born a corrupt official, countless scholars who study hard in the cold window have also had the world in mind, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't even eat enough, so how to govern the country, and Yan Shannong's so-called commercial tax in the second place of the imperial court, there are too many places to play, and many officials also think, with the commercial tax, why should I be embarrassed by the small people, who doesn't know that the people have less money and more money in merchants.

Since someone took the lead, naturally someone followed suit, and then, the governor of Yansui, Huangfu Yingcai, cried and cried poorly, and asked for an increase in the ten taxes of salt, iron, tea and horses on the spot, the Yansui area is notoriously poor, and it is poor, this place is asking the court to allocate silver every year for relief, but there are many businessmen, and Huangfu Yingcai really can't stand it, and he lacks virtue in his previous life, so he did this Yansui governor, so poor that his wife is about to run away with people, he is a dignified governor! But in these years, the sky and the earth are big, and the silver is the largest, and there is no silver, and the governor is counted as a hair.

A governor who participates in politics and a governor, these are all high-ranking officials, with these two leading birds, for a while, the world is crowded, demanding that the local levy of salt, iron, tea and horses ten taxes abound, of course, there are more people who oppose it, originally, the good official in Suzhou is a bit big, and some people in the court are preparing to join forces to impeach him! But for a while, the government and the opposition were all involved in this big discussion of ten taxes and one fold of salt, iron, tea and horses.

The imperial court already has the Tea and Horse Division, and the practice is one of the ten levies, but Yan Shannong and Luo Rufang are obviously not talking about the salt and iron law and the tea and horse law, it is obviously the commercial tax, can the businessmen be happy, such as the representative of the Hui merchants, Xu Guo Xu Ge Lao, he shouted loudly, saying that the commercial tax has been raised and the people are competing for profits, and I didn't see that the price of salt in Beijing has risen by three yuan, this has not been implemented, just a rumor is like this, it can be seen that this decision is not feasible.

In short, the court is arguing endlessly, but these things have nothing to do with the good official for the time being, he is in Suzhou to meet with Yin Jinan, the leader of the Jiangnan Luo Sect, Yin Susu's father.

Yin Jinan's eyebrows are white, in fact, it is albinism, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a natural vision! This kind of person is not the leader of the church, who is the leader of the church.

"The old man greets the Grand Governor." Yin Jinan has been the sect leader for so many years, and his bearing is extraordinary, and he can speak loudly in front of tens of thousands of sect members, his bearing is naturally different, and he will be surprised if he changes others, but the obedient officials have seen more like this, not to mention anything else, which of the later generations of actors can't talk eloquently in front of the camera, so he didn't even move his eyelids.
