The governor belongs to the Beijing officials, so there is no fixed number of officials under the rule, and the general officials have left and right hands, such as the prefect has the same knowledge, there are push officials, and there are county officials under the county order, there are master books, and there are wardens, but the governor is different, and the governor only has a staff.

In other words, if you want to do something, there is no official to send you, you have to recruit yourself.

However, this point was very simple for Xu Qian, and soon, several staff members in the governor's yamen were born.

The person in charge of academic politics is none other than Wang Gen.

Now Wang Gen, there is really no need to use guò newspapers to promote Wang Xue, because the compilation of Ming Pao has almost been developed into a downline by him, unless Ming Pao is all reshuffled, it is impossible to wash the brand of Wang Xue Ming Pao, plus Wang Xue has taken root here on the spot, has evolved into a fashion, so Wang Gen has long had the idea of retiring, and now, Xu Qian hired him to enter the scene, he did not refuse, and did not hesitate to get on the boat.

Zhejiang has now become the base of Wang Xue, so the academic affairs here have almost been changed, although it is the banner of science, but in fact, it is Wang Xue, Wang Xue is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so to manage the academic affairs, you must invite a person with high respect for Wang Xue to preside, Xu Qian needs Wang Gen to lead Wang Xue to give full support in academic affairs, and Wang Gen is also very good, with the identity of this staff, continue to run his Wang Xue.

The two belong to each other's thoughts of hugging each other to keep warm.

And the one in charge of military and political affairs is naturally Zhou Tai, and now the Royal Academy is practicing in Hangzhou, of course, the military and political affairs have to use their own soldiers, these people are Xu Qian's hole cards and backbone. With their support, there will be no problem in the military and political aspects.

The staff of the prison is called Zhang Cheng, and the staff of civil affairs is called Zhu Tao, these two people. It was all recommended by his mentor Xie Qian, since it was recommended by his mentor, Xu Qian didn't have any good candidates in his hands, so he naturally used it with confidence. Xie En is a person who has been a Zaifu, and he still has a vision, and these two are also sophisticated characters, but they are just unlucky and famous.

There is also a person in charge of money and food, but this person is not a character on the table, but a person from Ruyifang, who has been a shopkeeper in Ruyifang, called Niu Jin. Apparently in the ranks of the staff. It's a bit out of place with the others.

The manpower is about the same. Naturally, the stage was set up, and the new official took office and took his friends to the governor's yamen. The governor's yamen is quite magnificent, because it was in the Hongzhi period. The provinces gradually set up the governor, to the Zhengde years, the governor is barely a formal official position, since the long-term stay, then must be to find a place, so in the thirteenth year of Zhengde, the first Zheng'er Bajing governor will be stationed here, here is located in the lively Tongjiang Bridge, it is said that in the Song Dynasty people called Ziji Palace, later the Southern Song Dynasty perished, the palace was changed to the Three Emperors Temple, and finally the temple was removed, and became the governor's yamen.

Here, it is the center of Hangzhou, the governor's yamen occupies a large area, it is very magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, there are colored glazes and gold lacquer under the corridor, but Xu Qian is wondering, this is not from the monks in the temple to get it, the yamen is painted with gold paint, there is really a suspicion of nouveau riche.

The backyard has long been repaired cleanly, and the official does not repair the yamen, this is because it is cheap to the next one, according to the progress of this era, to repair a magnificent yamen for three or five years can only be regarded as a small success, and after ten years, you have to get out of the fart if you can't see people, what else to repair? It's just that it doesn't repair the outside, but it doesn't mean that you don't decorate the backyard, the backyard is a resting place for officials and friends, and Xu has to stay here for a long time, so the furnishings inside are very beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, as a governor, material things are outside the body after all, and when it comes to officials of his level, material enjoyment is only a small part, and the most important thing is to feel the pleasure of power.

At this time, the governor's yamen was officially in operation, and in the afternoon, the adults in Hangzhou came obediently, these lords don't look bright in the eyes of others, but when they arrived in the governor's yamen, they only stood and talked.

Xu Qian sat high at the head of the case, condescendingly looked at the officials on both sides of the line, and saw that they were all cautious, one by one frightened, waiting for his own instructions.

It's a great feeling.

This is the benefit of the right, see that you are not pleasing to the eye, kick you away, you have to climb over, smile and say that the adult god legs, the lower official is taught. Look at you pleasing to the eye, a thought, a few words of praise for you, is enough to make you happy for several days.

Xu Qian coughed.

Here, only Xu Qian has the right to cough, and his cough, everyone seems to have received some kind of signal, and the rigid face immediately became gentle, with a smile, as if they were all saying that the governor coughed well, which enlivened the atmosphere and injected new vitality into the big guy.

And then...... Xu Qian lowered his head to drink tea, and after drinking the tea, he smiled slightly, this smile like a spring breeze was softer than the smile of any beauty in the city, because as soon as everyone saw him laughing, their nervous nerves suddenly relaxed.

Xu Qian stretched out the joint of his hand, knocked lightly on the case, and finally began to speak: "This official has received holy grace, and he is the governor of Zhejiang, speaking of which the official is ...... age."

As soon as he talked about his age, someone immediately beat him like chicken blood, and Jiang Feng, the prefect of Hangzhou, immediately jumped out and said righteously: "Ganluo can still worship the prime minister, although the adult is young, but with the merit of the adult, he is already a ...... to condescend to the governor."

A rushing sycophant aura stunned Xu Qian, almost not letting Xu Qian fly directly out of the clouds.

Xu Qian hurriedly interrupted him: "That's it, this matter should not be mentioned again, since this official is now in charge of Zhejiang, this new official will inevitably burn a fire first, how to burn this fire, although the court has long been customized, but after all, the old law also has shortcomings, we are officials, the court is the court, and the people are the people, therefore, we must bring forth the new in order to not be an official in vain." ”

Everyone listened to the clouds, but when the new official took office, it was inevitable that he would have to say a few impassioned words, but everyone was calm, and they were secretly speculating about Xu Qian's words. You must know that everyone is a smart person, and often the new boss can roughly guess the character of the new official with a few casual words, so everyone is now speculating, what kind of character is this new governor?

Xu Qian continued: "This official thinks about it, this first fire is to make a fuss about the grain. ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, food? Could it be that this Lord Xu saw that Zhejiang's grain tax was decreasing year by year, so he planned to pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes? This Zhejiang's grain endowment is heavy enough, if it is added, it is not a game, who is the person who owns the most land? Naturally, they are squires and landlords, and these people are in a hurry, but it is not fun, and they are not allowed to make a big deal against taxes.

One of the officials saw Xu Qian say this, not only was he worried, but his eyebrows showed joy, this person is the governor of Zhou Chang, the patrol press and the governor, they all belong to the nature of Beijing officials, they all belong to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but everyone is just suspended in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, such as this patrol, not responsible for anyone, is the governor, he may not put it in his eyes, he has the right to play the book, directly responsible to the palace and the cabinet, in Zhejiang, who wants to impeach whomever you want, who you want to scold.

This Zhou Patrol pressed, but he knew that many people in the Beijing Division had bad intentions towards the new governor, anyway, he was not controlled by Xu Qian, and he could be a maverick, although he was polite to Xu Qian on the surface, but in his heart, he always wanted to find fault with Xu Qian.

I thought that the new governor had just taken office, and he would definitely grow old and not make any sensational noise, but who knew that Xu Qian had just taken office, and he actually wanted to increase the grain levy, which was not a trivial matter, as long as there was a little trouble, Zhou Chang would have a lot of articles to do.

Who knows Xu Qian's next sentence: "Everyone knows that the imperial court has always been strict with Zhejiang's grain endowment, and in other places it is one out of ten, but this Zhejiang is twice as high, so that many people are miserable, the meaning of this official, in the future, the grain households who grow grain, the tax will be reduced to thirty draws, if it is only a farmer who spreads down five acres and one ding, they are all exempted, what do you think?" ”

I thought that Xu Qian was going to raise taxes, but who knew that the tax would be reduced, and this reduction was really powerful, from one out of ten to one out of thirty, if the average person in the family is only five acres, it will also be tax-free.

This...... It is definitely an unprecedented thing, the Ming Dynasty descended from Taizu, and only heard of the rules of exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but never heard of it, and there was a tax reduction. And this is also reduced too harshly, which is equivalent to saying that all the families who grow grain almost do not have to pay grain taxes to the imperial court.

If you don't pay taxes, where will your food come from? Where do the taxes come from? And where did the gold and silver come from?

The new governor is simply insane.

Zhao Ming, the political envoy, felt that the matter was serious, and immediately stood up and said: "My lord, no, if this is the case, then this year's grain collection is afraid that it will not even be able to guarantee 300,000 quintals, in previous years, nearly one million quintals of grain entered Beijing, if this is the case today, not only the imperial court will blame, I am afraid that it will be ......."

Xu Qian pressed his hand and said: "Everyone, listen to this official, this official is exempt from grain tax, but he has to increase the mulberry tax, in the future, whoever plants mulberry trees on his family land, it will be changed to a tax law of four out of ten, and the tax will be paid on silver with silk, so that the uncontrolled planting of mulberry can be suppressed, on the other hand, it is not good to use the surplus of mulberry planting to make up for the lack of grain?" ”

Everyone froze again......

Because this so-called plan seems to be very reasonable, but in reality, it is simply a joke.
