What does fire consumption mean?

When the magistrate collects the money tax, he will levy an extra part on the grounds of "attrition", which is called fire consumption, for example, the rice grain is stolen by the finch and the rat, which is called the finch and rat consumption, which is a kind of fire consumption.

In fact, it is equivalent to acquiescing to the local officials to levy more silver taels, and the customary source of extra money.

For example, at the beginning, the treasury would have a certain amount of "exemption", which was actually a kind of fire consumption, because the purity of the folk silver was different, and there would be a little loss when the smelting ingots were added to the warehouse.

What does it mean to return fire consumption to the public, that is, according to the local situation, the fire consumption is clearly increased, it becomes a normal tax, the tax is collected in a unified manner, the treasury is kept, and the local officials are given clean and honest as appropriate, and it can also make up for the financial deficit in various places, and if there is a surplus, it can also be used for public use, build cities and embankments, and so on.

How can I say that if it is open, transparent, and legalized, and the dark harvest will be turned into an open harvest, the burden on the people will be much lighter.

This at least allows some truly honest people not to be forced to be corrupt, and also allows some people who are swaying in their hearts, or have the same name, to have one more "right way" to go, as for those who are greedy, then no matter what the policy he will try to be greedy, then there is no way.

Yan Shiyue told them about it carefully.

Emperor Ming Yan suddenly pondered.

In his opinion, this is indeed feasible, so that the financial power is collected in the hands of the imperial court, and the local government has less autonomy, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the control of officials who are released from abroad.

Prince Chun and Xu Wenqu were also thinking carefully.

At this time, outside, the shadow guard had already arrested people.

The tin painting shop has already been turned over again, and now it has been completely turned over several times, and nothing has been found.

As soon as the shopkeeper Nawei came in and saw Jiang Hatfaree, his expression changed at that time. Then he happily confessed that he had minted the false silver, but he did not say where it was hidden.

The shadow guards exhausted their means, but they didn't expect that these two people were actually hard bones, and they refused to say anything.

Huo Qijing went over to take a look, and when Jiang Hate didn't see him, he smiled at him and said, "You are Fu Niangniang's husband?" ”

Huo Qijing didn't answer, and Jiang said with a sigh: "Among the ten thousand armies, cut the flag and take the commander...... If you don't marry a lucky lady, how beautiful it should be. Now...... Like a princess's retinue. ”

There was a lot of malice in these words, Huo Qijing didn't care about it, and only looked him up and down.

Then he said, "Are you painless?" ”

Jiang hated to squint.

Although the legend says that the gong scrapes the bones to cure the poison, plays chess and eats and drinks, it is just that he can carry it, but Jiang hated goodbye, and he didn't even smoke the flesh on his face. Twitching, as if not felt at all.

Huo Qijing said calmly: "Thirty years ago, you worked for Cui Hang...... He can believe you, you are at least a young man, so you are estimated to be sixty years old now? But it seems that it has not been established for a long time, is there any rejuvenation technique? Is there no pain as a result? ”

He looked at the shopkeeper Wei, who was said to be named Wei Qing: "You don't have it either?" ”

Jiang hatbei smiled: "Yes, you also have some ability." ”

He paused for a moment: "Since you know, the torture is useless, it is better to kill us directly, anyway, after we die, no one can find that place, if it takes 1,800 years for someone to find it, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Huo Qijing said: "You are not even afraid of death, but you refuse to tell where the silver is hidden, how can I rest assured?" ”

Jiang Hate smiled and said, "What's the use of spending it with us?" ”

Huo Qijing was not good at extorting confessions, but when he refused to say anything, he retreated.

Yan Shiyue suddenly closed his eyes and was silent from that time, and he had a feeling that he would definitely not say it.

But at that time, I thought I could resist the punishment, and I always felt that under the means of shadow guards, there might be hope, but I didn't expect that there was no pain?

She wrote to Su Ji and asked him what medicine can make people feel no pain, what medicine can make people stay in Yan Changqing, but Su Ji replied that he didn't know, he asked her to send people over and study them for him.

People, you really have to stay first, maybe what's the use?

Since he didn't feel any pain, the shadow guard didn't bother to work anymore, so he put it aside for the time being, and only kept searching near the tin painting workshop.

The prince wrote another letter, crying and begging his father to go back quickly, saying that everyone already knew.

Yan Shiyue asked: "Then can't we go back?" ”

Emperor Ming Yan smiled: "Or Yue'er will go back first?" ”

"No way!" She refused without hesitation: "You are running around outside, I don't worry!" ”

Emperor Ming Yan said: "Then, leave in two days." ”

Yan Shiyue came out to ask, and Wei Xin also told her what had happened in the palace in the past few days.

The impeachment of the prince's young master, Liu Songcheng, really caught the prince off guard.

The most difficult thing in the world to guard against is to stick a knife in your own people.

The key is that Liu Songcheng is nominally his "teacher", and it is his unfilial piety that is impeached...... This matter is really tricky and disgusting, and it can't be handled right.

So the prince simply didn't deal with it, left this piece of music in the middle, and waited for Emperor Ming Yan to come back to deal with it.

But he certainly can't be left unprepared.

Coincidentally, before the prince came to the palace, he had just finished his parade.

The prince has been strictly educated since he was a child, and he was taught by the most learned ministers in the world. He himself was diligent, modest, and good at poetry, so he wrote a lot of articles and poems along the way, and rewarded talents from all over the world.

This would have been a good story.

So the prince had the people hasten and printed all these articles and psalms. There are many places where the "dead mother's secret" is involved.

The meaning of the prince is that filial piety to his deceased mother has been carved into his bones for him, even if it is improvised, he has never forgotten it, and in daily life, how can he forget it?

Answer without answering.

Pretty nice counterattack.

But this is a coincidence, if it weren't for the prince's parade, many talented people could testify, how would the prince fight back against this disgusting accusation?

Yan Shiyue sighed: "Fortunately, all my excerpts were written by Mr. Xu, otherwise I have many fathers, mothers, and masters, so many gentlemen and relatives, I can't remember it!" What if you commit a crime and let someone hold on to it? ”

Wei Xin was also nervous by what she said: "After that, we will quickly dispose of the handwriting paper written by the master, don't stay." ”

Yan Shiyue nodded, and asked, "But why did this person suddenly want to impeach the prince?" This is...... Was this instructed by the Four Princes? ”

Feed!

Wei Xin hurriedly gestured at her, and whispered: "Master, you can't talk nonsense!" She paused, and her voice was even quieter: "I don't know, who knows this!" ”

Yan Shiyue was a little unhappy.

Although psychologically she understands that even if she is the fourth master in history, if she can break out of the encirclement in the Nine Sons Succession, it must not be so harmless on the surface.

But when I really saw it with my own eyes, I still felt uncomfortable.

In her heart, the most precious thing about the little fourth master is his seriousness and integrity, and he even thinks that his inquisitive temperament is cute, but if this is just a "table"? If he is in private, he will do whatever it takes to compete for a big position?
