Chapter Eighty-Three: Jiangfutai

Yizhou is more than 1,000 miles away from the capital.

At this time, in the backyard of the official office, Zhao Jiao was asleep. This time, Cai Dacheng did not slow down but rushed all the way, and he had to look like a messenger when he traveled.

Although he was reluctant to let Zhao Jiao tired, it was illegal for him to take his daughter-in-law on this trip, and if he was worried about her body all the way down, then his prestige in the future would have to be weighed.

Fortunately, Zhao Jiao has been recuperating hard in the past few years, and her foundation is not bad, but she is tired at this time.

Cai Dacheng instructed the maid to take good care of his wife, and then he stepped out to meet the highest local governor, Yizhou Mansion Tai - Jiang Ci.

This person is in his early fifties, his face is pleasant, he laughs when he sees people, and he doesn't know that he can't be regarded as a smiling Buddha.

It's a pity that in Cai Dacheng's eyes, this is a villain who is a traitor on the outside.

When Chen Jiang was in power, the world had not yet returned to Shun, and although Yizhou was not far from the capital, he didn't care about it because nothing happened.

Jiang resigned from his post for six years, and Yizhou has not handed over a tael of silver, and it has been six years so far.

"Let's open the skylight and say something, Lord Jiang, General Ben doesn't have time to deal with you scholars, so you can tell me the truth, where have the taxes in Yizhou gone for so many years? Will you pay it or not? ”

Jiang Ci didn't expect this Cai Dacheng to be so unreasonable, if he hadn't been prepared, he would have been caught by him.

He understands what happened in the capital before the year and the year!

The Chang family is now firmly seated, and he will not look for death to rebel, of course, he will find a suitable opportunity to send a vote.

But now looking at Cai Dacheng's attitude, he will not easily toss with others, and he can no longer use the previous plan, in case it is self-defeating, dozens of people in his family are not enough to cut.

So he also put away Maitreya's smile, and said to Cai Dacheng seriously:

"Since the general is straight to the point, the subordinate will not talk nonsense, so the general will follow." After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.

Cai Dacheng didn't know what to do, but he still followed.

After leaving the official office, he arrived at the Yizhou Treasury a quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Ci did not go in, but instead bypassed the warehouse, passing through a small door next to the warehouse, and behind it was a small three-room courtyard.

There is an old couple in the courtyard, the old man is cleaning the courtyard, while the old lady is busy in the vegetable garden in the corner of the courtyard.

Suddenly, when I saw someone coming in, I was stunned for a moment, and after finding out that it was Jiang Ci, the old man came forward, "Lord Futai!" ”

"Old Kantou, you are busy with yours, I'll take the general in and have a look." With that, he walked to the three rooms.

Cai Dacheng was silent and followed.

There are three houses, the middle is used as both a living room and a kitchen, and the one on the left looks like a bedroom for the old couple.

In the first room on the far right, there were a lot of things, including grain, farm tools, buckets and other messy things, and Jiang Ci walked into this room.

On the south wall, he bent down and pressed it, but after a while, a hole in the ground was quietly opened for one person to enter and exit, and through the light, he could see the long steps, which were bottomless.

"General, wait a minute, if you don't open it for a long time, it will be poisonous, so slow it down first." Jiang Ci explained.

A quarter of an hour later, the two entered one after the other.

When he came down, Jiang Ci prepared a torch, and at this time, Cai Dacheng could see it clearly with the torch.

This underground space is expected to be about two acres of land, and as far as the eye can see, it is densely packed with boxes, neatly stacked together.

It is divided into eleven districts, and in each area there is a sign with the name of the county.

Cai Dacheng has counted, Yizhou has eleven counties, and all the money paid by these counties in the past six years is here.

"Jiangfutai has good skills!" Cai Dacheng praised, "But shouldn't this money be in the treasury?" ”

"Treasury? To whom? After years of war and the change of dynasties, who has ever thought about the hardships of the common people? Jiang Ci smiled sarcastically, "I'll tell you the truth, if those things hadn't happened in Beijing before the year and the New Year, you wouldn't have seen this money!" Even if you slaughter me! ”

"Ten years ago, it was almost the New Year, and the snowstorm in Yizhou was more than ten days, and tens of thousands of people were affected, and countless houses collapsed, but did the imperial court send people to rescue the disaster?

And the people of Yizhou back then tightened their belts and handed over a whole year's tax money! But the result?

My mentor, Su Tao Su Futai, died of exhaustion from disaster relief, and when he was discovered, he was frozen into pieces of meat...

In the place where he was relieved, there was not a single survivor, because all the houses were trampled on.

But that's it, people die and don't end up well, leaving a stigma.

The supreme governor of a state capital died, but no one asked why, only another official was appointed, and this official could not stand the disaster and poverty here, and left in less than three months.

Yizhou Qunlong had no leader, until the end of the year, the new governor Tai Lu Yingbo came to power, he did not check the actual situation in the local area, the first fire was to urge the payment of taxes and silver. ”

"At that time, Yizhou was affected by a wide area, and only five of the eleven counties had a small impact, and even then he had to complete the heavy responsibility of tax collection because he added another 10%.

In the end, he provoked a popular uprising and was killed.

After that, he came to the government for two terms, but he did nothing except pay taxes.

Because he could not complete the mission of the court, one of them was deposed, and the other was killed by a passing robber while transporting tax money.

After that, there was no new government for half a year, until six years ago, I don't know what happened, the imperial court suddenly ordered the next official to be Yizhou Futai.

At that time, there were few places to live in peace inside and outside the imperial court.

After the lower officials came to power, the first fire was to convene a meeting of 11 county ordinances, making it clear that no taxes would be collected that year, and the benefits would be given to the people.

Of course, three county orders were also arrested for loving money and deceiving from top to bottom, and property was flushed to the government treasury, all of which have accounts to follow.

Because of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, the decree will be much smoother after that.

In fact, it is a five-year tax bank, but some of it is also used for water conservancy and spring ploughing, which is recorded. ”

Cai Dacheng: "Jiangfu Taide is highly respected, and many places are worth learning from future generations!" After speaking, he half-bent down and bowed to him.

The next day, according to the staff provided by Changzai, it was confirmed that the accounts were clear, which made it even more obvious that Jiang Futai was of noble character, and his actions were sleek but round on the outside and square on the inside.

"Master, you have turned over all the money and have a heart disease, why are you unhappy?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but ask when she saw him tossing and turning at night when she was resting at night.

"Although these coins are not ours, they are the hard-earned money of our Yizhou people! It's easy to turn it in, but it's hard to get the funds from above in case something happens! ”

"This has been like this since ancient times, what can you do, it's better to go to bed early!

You still don't want to climb up anymore, a Yizhou Mansion is busy like a spinning top, there is no rest all day long, we look distressed, and we are not young anymore, take it easy, sleep. ”

Jiang Ci sighed softly, looking forward to the arrival of Duke Zhou.

Another day, early in the morning, Jiang Ci was handling official business, and Cai Dacheng came.

"Master Jiang, put on the incense case to receive the order."
