In the autumn of the seventh year of Emperor Dayao Lie, Suzhou, Heqing County.

In the famine more than two years ago, under the relief of the imperial court and the local Heqing County Huafu, together with several grain merchants who were the head of the grain merchants, opened four warehouses to put grain and set up porridge sheds, there were very few starving deaths and displaced people in this county and even a state, and the imperial court reduced and exempted Suzhou taxes for two years at the same time, and the situation was more prosperous than a few years ago.

However, although the world is good, the mountain kings who were originally dormant on the major mountains in Suzhou are also alive, and today they have taken a rich daughter who burns incense and prays to go up the mountain, and tomorrow they will light up the seventy or eighty hundreds of minions to go down the mountain to rob the house, so that the government is tired of coping with it, and often today it is only today that the manpower is entangled to exterminate the mountain, and there are people on the other mountain who have gathered dozens of people to support the king.

After exterminating a few mountains, the Suzhou officials learned from the minions who couldn't afford to torture that most of the minions of these mountain kings who sang and appeared on the stage were young and strong farmers near the mountain, and they didn't have much knowledge and knowledge, and they might not be able to recognize half a basket of characters, so they followed up the mountain in a moment's time.

"Be bold and make a fool of the people, if you don't do it, you have to go up the mountain to do the thief's work!" The Suzhou officials in the hall were furious after listening to the court testimony of these minions on the mountain, "The court treats you well, have you ever taken half a cent less of the grain transferred from various states and counties?"

Who would have thought that this does not matter, but when asked those minions on the mountain, they complained bitterly, saying that they are all tenant farmers who plant other people's fields, and their own acres and three points of land have already been taken down by people at a low price, although the field is planted, but a lot of rent must be paid every year, and it is nothing to meet the harvest year, after all, the real money and silver in hand can fill the belly of the family population at the same time, and at the same time, they can also have spare money to buy some household goods, and by the way, they will use this money to renovate their own house or build a new house.

There is an unwritten rule in the Suzhou farmhouse, saying that the newly built mansion of the descendants must not be smaller than the ancestors, although the silver for selling the land is a lot, but in the end it is even worse than the silver required to build a three-in-three white-walled and large tiled house. But this house has been built, and it is a glorious thing in the village and town.

These minions were once some good-faced farmers, after borrowing silver to build a house, they thought that they would pay back the silver owed after the grain harvest in two good years, who would have thought that the famine that would make the whole territory of Suzhou have no harvest came, these farmers who were waiting to collect grain to repay their debts were dumbfounded, and the money they borrowed to build a house was urgent, so in order to avoid debts, they went up the mountain and fell to the grass.

"Which money bank, the name will come up, and the official will send someone to find it. The Suzhou official in the hall seemed to have compassion, "In this way, it seems that the cultivators have no land for the matter of going up the mountain and falling into the grass, and the fault is not entirely on you." ”

However, when those minions revealed the name and plate of the money bank, the expression of the judge in the hall moved slightly, but after an instant, it returned to normal, and the master behind him whispered twice before announcing his withdrawal, and the master who was the confidant of the Suzhou official stayed in the hall and turned out from a small side gate in the yamen, passing through many remote roads that even the natives in Heqing County may not know, and came to the back door of the money village that was confessed by the peasants.

After a while, someone opened the back door a crack, and saw that the master was tightly wrapped and there was only a pair of dripping eyes. Then the back door was opened a little more and he was let in.

Remember in a second https://

"It's rare for the master to come and miss the welcome, could it be that the monthly silver sent to the Yamen mansions is short again?" The old man in the long robe who was pulling the abacus in the bucket room did not raise his head, although his words were polite, but he did not have the meaning of getting up to greet him, "The silver of the month is short, or you have to make up for some poor people, why do you need to go in person..."

"Yan Lutai, don't think that the government doesn't know about the good things you have done in the territory of Heqing County!" "The master squeezed into a very small bucket room and slapped the table covered with account books, "Today, those farmers who were caught in the city from several nearby mountains all said that your money village paid a high price to buy land deeds in their hands a few years ago, and you Hongheng ticket number will not give the government an explanation for this matter?"

The old man in the long shirt buried in the pile of account books saw that beat, and the flawless white jade abacus beads on the abacus were scattered, so he raised his head and said indifferently, "You mean the hundreds of acres of thin fields near Heqing County? Doing business is a consensual thing, not to mention that the price given by the ticket number at the beginning is even higher than the market price..."

"Hundreds of acres of thin fields?" the master seemed to be really angry, and slapped the small table in the bucket room again, "Just those few people confessed that they knew that they had handed over the title deed to your ticket number, and there were more than 200 households, and many whole villages and towns either went to the city to work or stayed in place as tenant farmers, hundreds of acres of thin fields?

"Although the imperial court has relaxed the restrictions on the sale of land in recent years, how can you not be detected in the eyes of those who care about your ticket number when you act like this?

"No one will poke this news to the Assassin's Mansion, and no one will use this secret channel to play the capital. The old man in the long shirt turned the white jade abacus back to its original position, and these flawless beads went up and down in the abacus stall made of gold, "Go back and tell your master, since Hongheng dares to do it, he is naturally fully prepared in advance, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Do you really think that the county keeper is happy to take care of your business? It doesn't hurt to tell you, if a large family buys more than 500 mu of land in the land of a state, it must be secretly registered and sent to the hands of those Dayao account offices in the household department of the capital, and after that, for these people who only want to buy land regardless of their minds, there will be means to spit out the land that has been eaten. ”

The master seemed to realize that Fang Cai's words seemed to be a little too aggressive, so he softened his tone and said, "It's not that the ticket number can't be done out of 10%, at least before you do it, you can have a prophet with the county guard, and then you can cover up for Master Hua on the booklet of the household department..."

"The county guard is too worried, since the master is honest with the master, it doesn't hurt to tell the truth to the master, even if the county guard government will make a register of the ticket number and report it to the household department, it will not make much waves, and then it will be nothing more than the ticket number pulling out a few nobodies to atone for the crime, and the field is still the master's field...."

The county guard still underestimated the power of Heqing County Washington, and the master who was the henchman of Hoqing County secretly palpitated, just from the incredible amount of silver that this Hongheng ticket number sent to officials everywhere in Suzhou over the years, you can see the clues, and what a terrifying amount of money will be the annual income of Washington, which can take out such a sum of money to dot the money.

When the thick stack of silver tickets and boxes of gold and silver in the Hongheng Dart Bureau passed through the master's hands, he felt faintly worried about the county guard, this amount of silver was really too much compared to the silver that the court acquiesced to accept, so much so that the court knew that the county guard might be taken off his official hat and traveled thousands of miles in vain.
