Chapter 535: Those who follow prosper and those who rebel perish
Zhou Chang died, in fact, I am afraid that only when he died did he realize that he was a patrol, and the real enemy was not just Xu Qian, a governor, and it would never be possible to kill him.
The reason why he came to this end was because he was praying mantis blocking the car, mistakenly thinking that he was just secretly rectifying a Futai, where would he have thought that his opponent was the entire bureaucratic system in Zhejiang, as well as the gentry in Zhejiang, as well as the people of Zhejiang.
These people have long become an ironclad piece, united under the combination of interests, up to the governor, down to the most simple people in the countryside, and now they have also become a union of interests, to protect Xu Qian, is to safeguard the interests of the gentry, but also to safeguard the interests of the big businessmen, at the same time, there are thousands of ordinary people's root interests.
It was all the people who got a tangible benefit from Xu Qian, and hoped that this benefit would not be taken away from him, the merchants pinned their hopes on the Ningbo Weaving Bureau and the Ruyi Fang, the gentry pinned their hopes on the projects of the Money and Grain Bureau and their raw silk trading, and the small landlords and ordinary people celebrated the new tax system. Even these bureaucrats, large and small, hope to get a piece of the pie, because they have a hunch that with this new Futai, a great political achievement will be vividly laid out in front of them.
Zhou Chang's mistake was that he had considered the feelings of others at all, and it was too wishful thinking, and it was this wishful thinking that completely put his interests and the interests of millions of people in the whole of Zhejiang on the opposite side, so that the gentry cheated him, his cronies betrayed him, the bureaucrats were indifferent to his patrol being rectified, and the people were eager to eat his flesh. Sleep on his skin.
Cleaning up Zhou Chang means that for a long time in the future, Xu Qian will be in Zhejiang. The power has reached its peak, and no one will ever point fingers at him, and no one will dare to disobey his mind, and one is in line with all interests. And the person who has received great expectations from the Shinong businessmen, as long as the Son of Heaven does not issue an order to transfer him at this time, here, Xu Qian is full of promises!
Xu Qian coughed, and then said: "Today's matter, that's all, everyone, the implementation of the new tax system has been smooth recently, but the official found some problems." While everyone is here. Let's just talk about it. in Hangzhou Province. The official heard that there was a messenger who colluded with people in the countryside and actually reported the mulberry field as a grain field. It was reported by a student in Qiantang County, I don't know if the Hangzhou government handled it? ”
Governor Wang knew about this. Since it was reported, Wang Zhifu is planning to change it back directly, which is actually not a big deal, but now Futai suddenly asked, the problem is obviously strict, and now Futai Lord is mentioning new taxes and projects in three days, it can be seen that these two things are the top priority of Futai Lord, and he must not go on a business trip, Wang Governor's Mansion has already made up his mind in his heart, those two errand servants who conspired with others to change mulberry into food, I am afraid that they will be dealt with severely, even if they are killed, they are considered light. In the future, if there is such a mistake again, Lord Futai will be angry, but he will settle accounts with himself.
He hurriedly said: "My lord, the matter has been clarified, it was an errand surnamed Wang and a servant surnamed Zhao who took the initiative to find someone to ask for bribes, and the lower officials have already planned to punish them heavily, and there will never be such a thing in the future." ”
Xu Qian nodded his head and said with a smile: "That's good, you see, the eighteen provinces in the world, only we in Zhejiang have adopted a new tax system, this move will not cause the world to look sideways, I don't know that other provinces are looking at us, even the court is also looking at you and me, there is a business trip, and the good deeds have become a source of chaos, not only will they be laughed at in the future, but the court will also come to find scum." Of course, the official also knows that many of you have worked hard for the new tax system, just like Wu Tixue, who is in charge of the study and administration, but also called the students to go to the countryside to preach the new tax system, which can be regarded as working together. ”
After listening to this, Wu Tixue hurriedly said modestly: "The lower officials are only doing their best, and they are also grateful for the enthusiasm of the students. ”
It can be said that the implementation of the new tax system, the use of the officials is very great, and the use of the students is also very great, they preach the new tax system to people in the township, tell them what the new tax system is about, and tell them what the new tax system is all about. He explained things very thoroughly, and also supervised the officials to count the mulberry fields and grain fields, and some people even measured the acres of land to see if the number they measured was worthy of the government, and this kind of enthusiasm was unprecedented.
Wu Tixue's face was also bright. Wu Ti has always been a great Confucian of Wang Xue, it is said that Wang Gen personally developed the downline, this guy is a dead brain, and now he is thinking about the unity of knowledge and action, and now it is the real unity of knowledge and action, and I feel very honored.
Xu Qian smiled slightly: "That's it, it's not you and me who rely on a few people for politics, if you want to do one thing well, you have to drive many people to do it, let everyone participate, what's the use of just relying on a piece of paper?" I don't know how many princes this court has had in Zhejiang, but how many have really done it? ”
Xu Qian's words, but won the hearts of everyone, especially recently Zhejiang more and more government affairs, so that many people have been exercised, now everyone has nothing to do with Xu Qian, what Xu Qian said, everyone tried their best to do it in one direction, everyone also knows that what the new Futai wants now is to do things, to have an appetite for this Futai, the only way to do it himself, to do a lot of things that seem impossible.
Speaking of this, Xu Qian said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about things here, everyone is usually very busy, it's rare to get together once, everything that should be said has been said, there is no need to talk about anything." ”
Everyone stood up and wanted to say goodbye, Xu Qian suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yes, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, the official donated some silver in the money and grain bureau in the name of you, in fact, it is not bad, the officials of the seven grades are all five thousand taels, the grade is added to one grade, and another five hundred are added, and the political envoy is from the third grade, that is two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and so on, Zhejiang officials, everyone has a share, if there is any income from this money and grain bureau in the future, it will naturally give you dry shares dividends, and, Ningbo over there Niu Taurus Friends plan to set up a workshop in the name of the province, has first bought more than 20 acres of land with 7,000 taels of silver, and will have to operate with 10,000 taels of silver in the future. Niu Muyou counted, the two of them add up to the dividends are actually not much, the seventh grade official a month, at most only thirty or forty taels of silver dividends, the right is to subsidize your family. ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, but at this time, their hearts couldn't help but be hot, saying that there was not much money, this was a lie, such as Zhao Ming, the political envoy, which meant that Xu Qian directly took out more than 7,000 taels of silver and gave it to him for nothing, as for the others, all of them, Xu Qian took out more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is comparable to a huge amount of money, and now everyone is optimistic about the money and grain bureau, as long as there are no variables, the future income will not be less, after all, it is a business of sitting on the ground to collect money, and there is no risk, unless everyone would rather walk the mountain road for ten days and half a month, And I don't want to sit comfortably on the boat for less than two or three days to reach my destination. In fact, inside, many people donated a lot of silver in the name of relatives and friends in the Money and Food Bureau, such as Wang Zhifu, who took out 5,000 taels, of course, this money cannot be said to the outside world.
And now, Xu Qian openly bought another sum for everyone, the meaning is obvious, with the new Futai, people will never let you suffer, what you have to do is not to hollow out your mind to make money, but to hollow out your mind to do things, and when it is done, people will definitely lift you up in the future, as for the silver, people have also prepared a back road for you, there are both workshops and money and grain bureaus, and you want to make a fortune? Then hurry up to run the project of the Money and Grain Bureau, hurry up to let the waterway through, build the school, train craftsmen as soon as possible, and make the transportation more convenient as soon as possible.
Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, why is this, how can the subordinates ......?"
Xu Qian pressed his hand and said casually: "These are just a little bit of the official's mind, what is this bit of silver, and in the future, this Zhejiang is full of gold, and your benefits are indispensable, so there is no need to say if you refuse, and it is the right way to work hard to do official business." ”
Everyone saluted together: "Thank you, sir." ”
Coming out of the prefect's yamen, many people feel like they have taken a roller coaster, suddenly nervous, and relaxed, nervous when nervous, and scared to death. But when it is relaxed, every sentence of Lord Futai makes people feel like a spring breeze and makes people's hearts warm.
Zhao Ming and Wu Tixue are relatively close, because Tixue and the political envoy Si Yamen are not far from here, so the two walked back, and the two sedan chairs followed step by step, Zhao Ming took his hand and said: "Brother Wu, what do you think of this new Futai?" ”
Wu Tixue stroked the goatee under his chin, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light: "I have insight into the hearts of others, but my own family is unfathomable!" ”
Zhao Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, the old man thinks the same way, it seems that in front of him, the old man's mind has been guessed by him, but what he is thinking, the old man can't guess no matter what." ”
Wu Tixue also laughed: "The only way to deal with such a Shangguan is to bury the first case every day, but ...... This is okay, Futai is a big dealer, this time with a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be gone, it is terrifying to listen to, a good patrol, say kill and kill, say take it, it is even more terrifying, in fact, Futai is nothing more than a meaning. ”
Zhao Ming said: "What Brother Wu wants to say is: Those who go along with it prosper, and those who rebel die?" ”
Wu Tixue laughed.
