240 Darkness (Reward and Change)

In July of the third year of Longqing, Zheng Yue, the county governor of Huating, became another Qingtian master.

Hai Rui hasn't really started to exert his power yet, but this Zheng Zhixian has already sent a document to Xuedao Lin Dachun, and he has reformed the scarves of eight students. Although it is completely in line with the procedures and is also the responsibility of the county, it is too rare to take the county's temperament like this.

As for today, the students of the Ming Dynasty seem to be the main force participating in politics. Especially in the Jiangnan area, the students in the late Wanli period would even rush into the court, expel the magistrate, and leave the lawsuit...... Such thrilling things were written in the chronicles in a proud tone and recorded in the history books.

Even if it hasn't developed so much now, the power of the living force should not be underestimated.

Xu Yuanzuo also saw that Zheng Yue was actually still flustered. It's useless to just comfort you, but it's useful to have real money. So Tang Xing Renshoutang was the first in the county to complete the collection of summer tax, and boxes of silver were sent to the county government without any discount.

The law of codification - gradually some people began to call it a whip law, the most important of which was the substitution of money for physical goods. Originally, it was necessary to pay for grain, raw silk, and cloth, but now all of them were converted into silver. The reason why there is different resistance in various places is because this folding silver is too cheating.

First of all, silver has an ingredient. Can ninety percent silver be the same as seventy percent silver? In an era when there are no precision instruments, how to determine it?

Secondly, the silver needs to be re-smelted, otherwise small pieces of broken silver will not be able to enter the warehouse. Smelting inevitably produces fire consumption, and who is on the burden of this burden? Can the people afford it? Shall not the shepherd rulers be wicked?

Finally, there must be a link of commodity circulation in the physical conversion of silver. Everyone knows that scarcity is expensive, and when it comes to the tax season, it is naturally the most expensive silver, so the people sell their output cheaply in exchange for silver to pay taxes. After a while, I have to buy back the necessities of life at a high price. In this way, as soon as they enter and exit, the people will be skinned, and in vain they will make profits for the merchants.

The people are the foundation of the herdsmen, but the merchants refuse to pay taxes, how can the local officials be happy?

Because of the perennial sea trade, Fujian and Guangdong collect silver. So paying taxes with silver is the most desirable for them.

This logic is very simple: according to the tax law, two quintals of raw silk should be paid, and the imperial court would collect one hundred taels after the tax was collected. The price of raw silk harvested by seafarers is one hundred taels per load. For people with moderate IQ, of course, the big families are willing to sell raw silk to seafarers, and then pay taxes with silver, so that they can earn an extra hundred taels.

Because Jiangnan is close to Fujian and Guangdong, it is also a silk and cloth production area, and there is no shortage of silver. However, further north, neither silk nor cloth is produced. In particular, the Ming Dynasty did not produce silver -- the main silver class of the Ming Dynasty fell in Yunnan. So if the court wants to collect silver, how can the people become out?

Zheng Yue finally didn't have to think about it so much.

He looked at the silver ingots sent by Tang Xing, all of them were more than ninety percent of good silver, the quantity was sufficient and of high quality, which was enough to prove that Xu Yuanzuo did not cheat him, and it really helped him a lot. If the whole Huating came according to Tang Xing, he would be too comfortable as a magistrate.

As for the students to contact and protest everywhere, what is the use?

In accordance with national law. The students were dissatisfied and distrustful of local officials, and the only channel for complaining was the provincial patrols.

The north and south are each equipped with two inspectors of the imperial history. One more than other provinces.

There are only seven grades of patrols, and they are grassroots officials in the inspectorate system, and in the face of ordinary local officials, the deterrent effect is indeed quite great. However, the governor is also a system of the Inspectorate, and the official title of the person is "the right deputy of the Inspectorate".

in the same system. One three-grade and one seven-pin, who to listen to?

Dare to challenge the third-grade official position with the seven-rank official, do you think you are Hai Rui?

Even if you mistakenly think that you are the second Hai Rui, the real Hai Rui is sitting in Huating!

And this authentic original Hai Rui is quite recognized for the work of Zheng Yue, the magistrate of Huating County.

Fight against the strong. Not obeying the unspoken rules, not indulging the lawbreakers, and completing the tax quota - this is clearly a man of character, integrity, ability, and perseverance! Such an official, you say he is not good...... That's very normal, don't the wealthy eunuchs also say the same about me Hai Rui!

The students saw that the big tiger of Renshoutang walked out of Tang Xing and began to attack the neighboring towns, and their own industry was in danger, but Haida Qingtian was protecting Zheng Xiaoqingtian, and the only way was to post.

Today's posts are called "public disclosure", which means public disclosure, and there are two types: signed and unsigned.

Less than the two armies confront, they are generally not signed.

Most of these public revelations are hand-copied, and no one sees them, secretly pasted on the streets and alleys, or stuffed into the cracks of people's doors.

The content is naturally to stand on the commanding heights of morality, disclose Renshoutang's bullying behavior, whip the dog official Zheng Yue, and appeal to justice and justice...... It looks like it's in its mouth, but none of these people can catch up with Wu Chengen.

Wu Chengen is well-read, intelligent, has served in public office in the education and judicial systems for many years, and has close contacts with the head of the country, so it is too simple to deal with these little children.

Not to mention newspapers and small advertisements, which is more powerful? Just by looking at the paper and the engraving, people will first believe the newspaper.

"Quyuan Miscellaneous Tales" has become more and more diligent in the past few months, and its reputation has been rising day by day. With the credibility of the publication, coupled with Wu Chengen's writing, it is enough to break the underground black hands of the students.

Just when the students thought that they were in a desperate situation, they suddenly found that this was not the case.

Even darker days were coming soon.

The county magistrate asked the county students to go back to school and prepare for the scientific examination.

According to the imperial court system, the first year after Xuezheng took office was the annual examination. The academic examination must be completed within one year. The annual examination is first ordered by the provincial, state, and county school offices to fill in their names, ages, places of origin, physique, and resumes of the three generations to the school office. Then the School Department will prepare the list of students' promotion, promotion, rename, and sick leave, and send it to the School Administration.

This year's annual examination has passed, but next year is the year of the township examination. If you want to take the township test, you must first take the scientific examination. Only those who have good results in the scientific examination can go to Nanjing to take the exam. If the results of the scientific examination are not good, not first-class students can be escorted, and they don't even have the opportunity to participate in the township examination.

In addition to the top students who are qualified for the township examination, the poor students at the end of the crane will also be expelled from school and demoted to commoners. Therefore, even if it is a student who is messing around, he does not dare to turn a blind eye to this, otherwise his previous efforts will be in vain.

There is no way to appeal, the public opinion war is completely defeated, and now it has been circled back to school by the magistrate, and a lot of homework has been pressed, who still has the heart to make small moves? Let's go to the incense first to protect yourself!

The only people who can really obstruct Renshoutang are the officials and gentry in the court.
