There are people in the school handle, inside and outside, and no one is allowed to enter.

Wei Ming came to the pond next to the school, and stopped, the school was quiet, and the conversation inside could not be heard from the outside, and occasionally there were two loud disputes, which were also vague.

Wei Ming sat under the thatched pavilion by the pond, facing the remnants of the chess left by unknown people, and sometimes took two steps.

The matter of Yizhen Pass is neither big nor small.

The Queen Mother is dying, and now she finally wants to get rid of the constraints of the Queen Mother, but in recent years, in order to repair the pagoda for the Queen Mother, in order to fulfill the filial piety of the Queen Mother, the private treasury has used a lot. Now, if you are preparing to build a temple for yourself, where will the money come from, it will naturally be taken from the people.

Therefore, Jinshang sent the internal officials and eunuchs as the mine supervisors and tax envoys, and went down to the local government to collect additional taxes to fill the private treasury.

These mine tax envoys were all envoys with imperial decrees, above the ordinary tax laws, as if they were holding the sword of Shang Fang, and they could say whatever they wanted, and the people could not resist, and even the local officials were helpless.

They usually collect taxes from mining, but according to different local conditions, it is common for them to cut down wood and dig stones, meddle in river transportation, and even requisition people at will. Moreover, it is not uncommon for these mine supervisors and their minions to act absurdly, and to prevent and kill people in private.

Jinshang successively sent three people to Huguang and Jiangxi, and saw that Jiangsu and Zhejiang were rich, so he also sent a eunuch over.

This eunuch is called Chang Bin, the eunuch of the imperial horse.

Chang Bin first carried out activities in the Chuzhou area, opening up mountains and forests, and collecting taxes from mines, which turned the world upside down. He chose Chuzhou to be a good place, and after the expiration of his term of office as governor of Chuzhou, he returned to Beijing and was transferred, and no one took over for the time being. Perhaps for this reason, he turned the world upside down in Chuzhou, tasted the sweetness, and stretched out his hand to Hanshan County, Taiping Prefecture, Liuhe County, Yingtianfu, Nanjing, and along the Yangtze River, to Yangzhou Yizhen.

In his previous life, not long after Chang Bin stretched out his hand to Yizhen, there was a private digging of the grave of the clan, the clan relatives were the emperor's relatives and relatives, Chang Bin did this, which caused the public anger of the clansmen, and also slapped the royal family in the face.

Jinshang immediately recalled it to Beijing, and there was no place since then, and Jinshang did not send a mine tax envoy to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Obviously, Chang Bin was designed by an official of Nan Zhili.

However, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are safe, Jiangxi, Huguang and even Shandong and other places, but they have not been able to avoid the big trouble of the mine tax inspectors, less than a year, the people in various places have broken out in succession, causing turmoil in the court, and now only hesitate to withdraw several mine tax inspectors.

However, since then, there have been many civil unrest in Jiangxi, Huguang, and Shandong, which is the sequelae of the evil caused by the mine tax supervisors.

"I'm really getting more and more confused today...... Wei Ming accepted two white seeds, thinking of those things in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"In this case, Wei Sheng dares to say it?"

Wei Ming turned his head, it was Ye Lanxiao.

He got up and saluted Ye Lanxiao. Ye Lanxiao looked him up and down, glanced at the remnants of the chess on the stone table, and stood on the edge of the pool with his back hand.

"Wei Sheng's knowledge and mind are different from ordinary people, but if you say this, don't say it."

Wei Ming was not surprised when he heard this, he didn't plan to deliberately hide anything, he sat down and continued the game of chess, "Brother Ye also knows about the matter of the mine supervisor and tax envoy, I don't know what Brother Ye thinks?" ”

Ye Lanxiao, as the only son of the mountain chief Ye Yongqu, how could he not know about the gathering of college officials today? It's just that Ye Lanxiao, as a two-list jinshi, did not participate in the discussion of the officials, did Ye Yongqu not let him participate, or did he not want to participate?

Wei Ming leaned towards the latter.

He used a white seed to eat a black seed, and it was very interesting to fight left and right.

Ye Lanxiao didn't reply to his words, as if he heard the sound of Wei Ming playing chess, turned around, and looked Wei Ming up and down again.

He shook his head.

Wei Ming raised his head and smiled at him, at this moment, footsteps and words came from the school hall one after another, obviously the confidential narrative was over, and the officials were about to disperse.

Wei Ming put down the chess pieces, got up, nodded towards Ye Lanxiao under Ye Lanxiao's gaze, and went to the school.

Ye Lanxiao looked at his back, glanced at the chess game on the table again, sighed, and turned to leave. And Wei Ming walked through a rockery and went directly to a green wood door behind the school.

An official came out of the door, and the last person was Ye Yongqu, the mountain chief.

When he saw Wei Ming here, he was first surprised, then thought of something, and asked, "Are you here to find Tianchangzhi County?" Originally, Cao Zhixian was also going to come to the mountain, but he couldn't arrive for the time being. ”

He explained, but Wei Ming stepped forward and saluted him, "The student came up to look for Mr." ”

"Looking for me?" Ye Yongqu said: "If there is no urgency, you will wait for the class to start in two days and come to look for me, and you can't get out of it now." ”

Of course, Wei Ming knew that he couldn't get out, "If the student has doubts, just ask Mr. for a word, and ask Mr. to take a step to speak." ”

Ye Yongqu looked at Wei Ming unexpectedly.

He is very fond of this young genius, but it is a little thing to be good at learning, and he can only say that he can read, but he is entering the government day by day, and it is another thing to be an official and a politician, but it requires extraordinary vision.

This Wei Sheng obviously knew that he was going to entertain officials from all over the world, and he insisted on taking a step to speak, if he really asked any questions about the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", he would be too disappointed!

Ye Yongqu couldn't help but think of Shen Pan, since he had some heart for Shen Pan, he felt more and more that Shen Pan's temperament was a suitable person for an official. His career in this life is not good, and the Ye family has no one since his father became an official in the Ministry of Rites.

It's not that Ye Yongqu doesn't want to be a leader, but the world doesn't allow it, so he can only be trapped here.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Yongqu had already thought a lot, and a trace of impatience rose in his heart, and asked Wei Ming, "What's the matter?" ”

"The student dares to ask sir, many adults gather in the academy today, but they are discussing the matter of the mine tax collector?"

Ye Yongqu was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Although the whereabouts of so many officials cannot be completely hidden, only people in the officialdom can guess what they are doing, how can Wei Ming know.

Ye Yongqu was surprised, but his face turned cold, "You just don't know about this!" Not for you to know. ”

Wei Ming shook his head, "Your Excellency is here to discuss how to bring down Chang Bin and force him to withdraw from Nanzhili, right?" ”

Ye Yongqu was dumbfounded, but his face became even colder, "Wei Sheng, this is all a matter in the imperial court, it is not something that a little show like you should talk about!" Don't be smart and miss your future prospects! Go back quickly, and don't mention it to others! ”

After Ye Yongqu said this, he didn't wait for Wei Ming to say more, glared at Wei Ming warningly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Wei Ming stood in place, looked at Ye Yongqu's back, and sighed silently.
