The obedient official saw Hou Xiaobai's face and knew that this guy probably held a grudge against himself, but he was not afraid of him being ruthless, why? These days, he found that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are not easy to mess with, and they are not as shown in film and television dramas.

When you get off the boat and sell the White Lady's book, your reputation will be there immediately, and then you will have a good relationship with a famous scholar in Zhejiang. But a tax collector, in the future generations will be the director of an industrial and commercial institute, can you bite me?

The good official doesn't know that the background of this tax collection is hard, the brother-in-law of the political envoy of a province, the political envoy is equivalent to the governor of later generations, and even bigger, because there are only thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

Nahou Tiju held a grudge against the good official, and couldn't help but test him, and asked with a smile: "In Xia Hou Xiaobai, the expression is Western, I don't know the name of the virtuous brother, where is the fairy town?" ”

To say, the owner of the Yan ship next to him is preparing to recruit a good official as a son-in-law, afraid that the good official will leak his mouth, so he hurriedly said: "Hou Tiju, a certain introduction, Zheng Guofan, the word Fengzhang, although he is young, he is a famous man in Shuntianfu, a song [If life is only as first seen] but it was sung from Shuntianfu to Tianjin Wei in a few days, and he is the disciple of Mr. Shen Bang Shen Dunyu, the second top jinshi of Xinweike in Longqing. ”

He originally intended to pull a tiger skin for the obedient official, and he was a student of Daxing County! Naturally, he is a disciple of Daxingzhi County, and you must know that a disciple of the second class head Jinshi, this second class head name, saying it will make people gasp and be in awe. The obedient official next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart, when did I become the student of the Shen County Order? Give me a word that is still winding in it, like an old fox.

It's a pity that the owner of the Yan boat didn't say that the Shen County Order was okay, but as soon as he said the Shen County Order, Hou Xiaobai was almost ecstatic.

There is a saying here, Shen Bang and the current Zhejiang political secretary Li Shaonan are the same list of jinshi, that is, commonly known as the same year, logically speaking, the same door, the same year, and the same township in the officialdom are all supporting each other, no matter how big you are an official, it is impossible for one person to finish all the things in the court, so naturally you need someone to help you, and the same family and fellow villagers in the same year are relatively reliable, which is also a kind of officialdom practice. For example, if Tanhua of a certain section has been an official for more than ten years and has been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and at this time he has defected to the eunuch party, then, almost subconsciously, everyone in the officialdom will regard the officials in the same section as him as members of the eunuch party.

It stands to reason that Shen Bang and Li Shaonan are fellow Jinshi, and they should be comrades who support each other and seek progress together, but unfortunately, Li Shaonan is not only not Shen Bang's comrade, but is regarded as a revenge, why!

When Longqing was in the fifth year of Xin Weike, Shen Bang was originally the second place in the first class, which is commonly known as the list eye, and when the palace test, Emperor Wanli's father Longqing felt that Shen Bang's words and list eyes were rushing, so he pressed him down, and changed it to the second class with a wave of the royal pen, and Li Shaonan! was originally the first place in the second class, but it was waved by Longqing's royal pen and was squeezed from the first place to the second place.

This is depressing, the second class head Jinshi, speaking out, is equivalent to a silverfish bag hanging on the waist of the ancients, equivalent to a modern person holding a Havana cigar in his mouth, this is the capital that can be flaunted and boasted anytime and anywhere, but the second place in the second class, who cares who makes you the second place in the second class.

Li Shaonan naturally didn't dare to spill his anger on the emperor's head, but Shen Bang, who robbed him of the top two places, has since become the worst scar in his heart.

Lying in the mud of the Gobi, I robbed me of the first place in the second class, the first place in the second class! I hate it!

And Shen Bang is also very wronged,, I was originally the second in the first place, the eye of the list! Just because the name is the same as the list, I went directly to the second grade, where can I go to shout injustice?

This is also why Shen Bang made fun of his table when he gave the good official a table word, hum! As soon as others read my name, it made me think that the list of eyes flew away, and the pain in my heart was there! There's nowhere to go yet. I'll give you a word, let others call you, and you will think of being stripped off your pants by a bunch of old ladies in the court and see a small ** like mutton fat and white jade.

Of course, this kind of darkest and most obscene idea in his heart can't be made public, so Shen Bang laughed proudly [If life is only as first seen, the young phoenix is clear in the old phoenix] next to his friend joked that [why did Dong Weng laugh] He just laughed but refused to say it.

This matter is not widely spread, but the Jinshi of Xinweike in the fifth year of Longqing knows, and it is a pity for Shen Bang and Li Shaonan, one was originally the eye of the list, but the result was changed to the first in the second class, and the other was the first in the second class, and the result was pressed into the second in the second class, which is simply a disaster, so you should be cautious in choosing a name, sometimes it is directly related to your life.

But Hou Tiju happened to know about this matter, why, he is Li Shaonan's brother-in-law, once when he was drinking, Li Shaonan said that he leaked his mouth, and he drank too much and scolded Shen Bang for being destined to be full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

So as soon as he heard that this Xiaoxiu was Shen Bang Shen Dunyu's disciple, his eyes suddenly lit up, ha! It's really a way to heaven, you don't go to hell and have no door to break in, why don't you stay in Shuntianfu and come to Zhejiang, isn't it meat sent to your mouth, I'm really sorry for myself if I don't bite two bites.

He made up his mind that he must let his brother-in-law know about this matter. When the time comes, whether you want to live or die, you will be pinched in my hand, hum! Dare to be so many people and don't give me face, if you make me sad for a day, I will make you sad for the rest of your life.

Hehe laughed twice, Hou Tiju decided not to bother with this kid for the time being, arched his hand and said: "Brother Zheng Xian is not weak but is so talented, but it reminds me of Zhang Taiyue and Zhang Ge's old ......."

This is very vicious, Zhang Juzheng is in his early twenties in his teens, looking at flattery, in fact, who doesn't know that Zhang Juzheng is a piece of stinky shit now, and people will be raided when they die, even when Zhang Juzheng was in power, there were many people who read books and did not bird him, and he still wrote books to imply him, and now it is said that there are literati who have written stories in the early years of Wanli, which directly says [Annihilation is in the court].

Zheng Guofan is not stupid, and the owner of the Yan ship frowned slightly, and he was really helpless about this Hou Tiju.

Although this Hou Tiju is from the six-rank official, but in fact it is only a person from a person's background, and it stands to reason that the person can only be promoted through the so-called [big pick], that is, one or two of the people who have failed the list three times in a row are selected to be awarded an official position, which is called a big pick. But there must be exceptions, this Hou Tiju is over 30 years old, and the middle move is also after Li Shaonan knows Zhejiang, and then Li Shaonan wrote to the imperial court to ask for the reopening of Ningbo City, and the court came down to a Li Chuncun father-in-law to supervise Ningbo City, and the two recommended Hou Xiaobai as the deputy promotion, that's it, it was actually over, to say that there is no cat here, and the ghost doesn't believe it.

This kind of my father is xx, my brother-in-law is xx, one person has ascended to heaven, there are ancient times, and it is not uncommon at all.

Originally, there was no contradiction between this Hou Tiju and the Yan family, but this Hou Tiju was also a wonderful person, at the end of last year, his wife happened to die, as the so-called promotion made a fortune and died his wife, he was aimed at the young lady of the Yan family, the female disciple of Mr. Qingteng, the first lady in Zhejiang, the key is that the Yan family is still the leading wealthy businessman in Ningbo, and he thinks that such a young lady is worthy of me.

At the beginning, he also held on to courtesy, and invited the official media to go to Yan's house to say that it was a continuation of the string, and he was the head lady after passing the door, so it stands to reason! It's not like burying Miss Yan.

Miss Keyan, who is that? The eyes are higher than the top of the eyes, and she didn't learn much about her teacher, Mr. Qingteng, but she learned a ten-out of ten, and immediately turned her face and blasted out the official media sent by others to talk about the matchmaker, and said, Qingwei, Mr. Qingteng's disciple is also, how can he marry a fly camp dog Gou Xiaobai.

What she means is that I am a student of Mr. Qingteng, and you, a tax collector, pick and eat it, what a noble festival, my name is Qingwei, naturally I want to learn this kind of noble festival, and it is impossible for you to run over to collect money when you smell the smell of copper coins like flies smelling dog shit.

This slap in the face was ruthless, and Guan Yu, the head of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yunchang said [My Tiger Girl can marry a dog] has the same effect, making Hou Xiaobai so angry that one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and several precious porcelain were also smashed, and he must marry the slut back, and then ravage it a hundred times a day.

However, the Yan family is not an idler, although they are businessmen and the like, and their ancestors have been famous for generations, what do you use to threaten others? Even Emperor Yanjing doesn't have the power to say anything, and it is too whimsical for you to rely on your brother-in-law who is the political envoy of Zhejiang to say whatever he wants.

So he can only engage in small means, such as letting those tax collectors go to disturb the shops of the Yan family, and always keep an eye on whether the Yan family has tax evasion and tax evasion, but the low commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty has not been seen in the previous dynasties, and the Yan family also knows that he has offended this one, and he does not bother to pay so little business tax at all, so Hou Xiaobai is like a tiger dragging a turtle, but there is nowhere to put his mouth. Sometimes I think about simply framing the Yan family for fornicating with Haikou, but the problem is that the Yan family has always had a good reputation throughout Ningbo and even the whole of Zhejiang. What's more, Yan Qingwei, the first lady in Zhejiang, still has a little bit of effect, if Hou Xiaobai really frames the Yan family, I'm afraid that the entire Zhejiang scholars will have to come to him Hou Xiaobai's trouble, don't say that his brother-in-law is a political envoy, even the emperor, I'm afraid he may not be able to keep him.

As the saying goes, Xiucai rebelled for three years, but if the Xiucai in the whole Zhejiang was boiling, I was afraid that the emperor would have to slide down from the dragon chair in fright. He Hou Xiaobai has also passed the exam, and this kind of thought that his mind is full of poop flashes at most, and he knows that it is impossible to use it, unless there is real evidence in hand.

At present, he can only disturb the Yan family from time to time, but this is also necessary, the so-called gentleman's revenge from morning to night, otherwise others will see that he has been humiliated by Miss Yan's family, and he will endure it with virtue, how can he continue to be promoted in the future?

To say, this Hou Tiju is also a little able to stretch and shrink the bearing, was slapped in the face by the obedient official in public, he sourly took Zhang Juzheng and secretly shot it, but he didn't mention it, and asked Yan The owner of the ship collected taxes, one hundred materials and sixty taels of silver, and four hundred materials for the big ship, and he didn't look at the goods, just talked about the ship, and collected a tax of two hundred and forty taels of silver, which is still the rule of the beginning of Xuande University, in fact, it was changed in the year of Jiajing, and one hundred materials were charged at most thirty taels, but Yan didn't want to work against Hou Xiaobai on this, and he didn't give more than one hundred taels of silver, Qian Yan didn't care about this at all.

After Hou Xiaobai collected the money, he asked his subordinate tax collector to carry the guy who was slapped with blood on his mouth, and laughed twice at the good official, and then he returned to the big ship on the centipede boat in a certain period.

As soon as he left, the owner of the Yan ship sighed, and told the grievances between the Yan family and Hou Xiaobai, the good official was a little dumbfounded, and I felt that I had suffered an unwarranted disaster and was affected!

ps: Let's emphasize the status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty again, the status of merchants has gone up since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the status of merchants is definitely not low.

Lu Nan, the first Jinshi in the third year of Zhengde, the waiter of the Jiajing Rite Department, a famous physicist, he wrote a book and said: Shang is also harmless. However, scholars should not do it themselves, or they can order their children or ask their relatives. Otherwise, what will be given for the support of parents and wives? Therefore, it is said that the city is the city, and the Yellow Emperor and Shennong can't help it. Cheap accumulation is expensive to sell, and Zigong is also for it. What is the disdain of businessmen?

Li Zhen, the grandmaster of the Taizhou School, Dr. Guozijian, and the prefect of Yao'an, he wrote a book saying: Tens of thousands of money, through the danger of wind and waves, humiliated by the officials, endured criticism in the market, hard work, the coercion is heavy, and the one who gets is the last. However, it will be handed over to the door of the minister, and then it can take its benefits and stay away from its harm, and An can sit proudly at the door of the minister.

This kind of famous man publicly declared that the merchant was not a cheap stream in the Ming Dynasty, and the children of the merchant could be the elder of the pavilion and the scholar, where is the low status!
