Chapter 587: Chongwen Hall Duel
The quarrel in the Chongwen Hall caused Jiajing's face to suddenly turn cold.
He felt that he had lost his control, but when his eyes turned, he saw Xu Qian in the corner. I can't help but feel angry and funny, this guy is actually gloating.
When it was inexorable, Yang Tinghe coughed twice, and for the sake of this pavilion elder, everyone was quieter.
Li Shiao's eyes also glanced at Xu Qian, seeing that he was silent, his heart was furious, we quarreled over your, you are idle, he shouted: "Xu Qian, as the governor of Zhejiang, shouldn't you have an explanation now?" β
Xu Qian had no choice but to stand up and say, "Dare to ask Lord Li what he wants?" β
Li Shiao said: "It is your new policy that delayed the military aircraft, do you know that delaying the military aircraft is a big crime!" β
Xu Qian's face was calm, and he said: "My lord's words made the lower official a little confused, why did the lower official delay the military plane?" β
This guy is a kraft candy, and there are always ways to add fuel to the fire.
Li Shiao said angrily: "This official asked you, why is it that until now, Zhejiang has only entered 1.14 million quintals of official grain, and the household department has drawn up a full 1.4 million quintals for Zhejiang, and there are 260,000 quintals?" Do you know that the lack of your 260,000 quintals of official food in the imperial court is very likely to cause a mutiny among the officials and soldiers, and it is also possible that after the disaster occurs next year, the imperial court will not be able to provide relief, and it may even cause the hungry people to become displaced people, and the displaced people to become chaotic people. β
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Qian, Xu Qian's face was calm, and he said: "My lord, who said that Zhejiang lacks 260,000 quintals of official grain, it's just that Zhejiang still has 300,000 quintals of official grain that has not yet been transported to Beijing. The amount of official grain to be handed over by Zhejiang this year is not 1,140,000 quintals, nor 1,400,000 quintals, but 1,460,000 quintals, which is 60,000 quintals more than the quota set by the household department. But adults don't distinguish between right and wrong. As a secretary of the household department, he can't understand the situation, but he blindly uses this as an excuse to attack the upper and lower officials, Wang Xue, and the new policy. My lord, the head of the household, is too unconscionable! β
Hearing these words, the whole house was shocked.
And 300,000 quintals...... It's impossible!
But since Xu Qian said it, and he was so confident, he dared to make a promise here, and it could never be groundless, but where did this food come from?
And more importantly, that's all. Li Shiao has already made a difficulty, and so many officials have come forward to attack the new policy and Wang Xue. Their foundation comes from the fact that Zhejiang will definitely not be able to complete the task assigned by the Ministry of Household Affairs this year, and it is precisely because it cannot be completed that it cannot be completed. Counting on the head of Xinzheng and Wang Xue, this can achieve their political goals.
Now the question is. At this time, if Xu Qian can really take out another 300,000 quintals of official grain, then doesn't it mean that the New Deal and Wang Xue are beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood?
Think about it, Zhejiang is a place where grain taxes have been reduced, which naturally benefits the people, so the excuse for everyone's attack is that the people are cheap, but the court is empty, but if the official grain of the court has not been in arrears, even more than the harvest year of 60,000 quintals, and the people below have enjoyed the benefits of tax exemption and tax reduction, in this way, doesn't it just show that the new policy is good governance and moral politics?
Many people's faces are very ugly, some are shocked, some are skeptical, and some regret it.
Especially Li Shiao, his brain was buzzing, and he finally eased up, only to realize the problem of Yan zhΓ²ng, why did the imperial court move troops? Isn't the mobilization of troops just looking for trouble in Zhejiang? Isn't it just to overthrow the New Deal? After spending so much effort, why did he finally smash his own feet and make a wedding dress for others.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, these numbers, but the household department has been converted several times, there will be absolutely no problem, although the person responsible for the conversion is Liang Teng, Liang Teng never imagined that he was a pseudo-traitor, but this does not mean that Li Shiao is a fool, on the contrary, Li Shiao has done money and grain in the household department in the past, and now he lives in the household department, and is very sensitive to the matter of money and grain. How to calculate, Zhejiang's official grain should also be around 1.1 million quintals, this number will not be too different, even if this surnamed Xu has more silver, but the silver on the market in Zhejiang has long been sold out, as for buying from other places, it must be too late, these 300,000 quintals of official grain, is it he conjured?
Li Shiao smiled and sneered, although this seems to be very ungraceful, but no matter how generous a person is, in the face of today's situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to show any demeanor.
He glanced at Xu Qian coldly: "You don't want to use these words to deceive, where did you get the 300,000 quintals of official food, do you think that the household department is a fool or a fool, and you don't know the inside story at all?" In order to hand over the official grain, as early as half a year ago, you purchased grain on a large scale in Shuangyu Port, and up to now, the total amount of official grain collected is 370,000 quintals. After the household department drew up a quota, the Zhejiang Money and Grain Bureau purchased surplus grain on the market everywhere, and the total amount of grain purchased was 670,000 quintals. β
Everyone held their breath, no one was silent now, focusing on the duel between Xu Qian and Li Shiao, the current problem, obviously they also understand that quoting scriptures and saying some empty words and clichΓ©s will not defeat the opponent, and the only way is to confirm the other party's crimes.
Li Shiao's people hope to use accurate figures to defeat the pseudo-science led by Xu Qian, and confirm that they have delayed the military plane, the country and the people.
And Wang Xuezhi also hopes that Xu Qian can seriously come out with the way that 300,000 quintals of official food is convinced, and confirm the charge that Li Shiao and his friends took the opportunity to attack political opponents and provoke political disputes.
Both sides are full of energy, and even many people have forgotten to breathe, as if the next few words can change the fate of many people present, above the officialdom, the fate of ups and downs, no one knows, the next moment you will be on the rise, or gloomy. And the moment is the most critical time.
It is Jiajing, who is also interested, he likes to fight openly and secretly, because from the day An Lu stepped into the Beijing Division, struggle has become his theme, he has reigned for nearly five years, and in the past five years, he has spent every day in suspicion and insidious court struggles, and now, obviously, the show is open, and he also wants to see how Xu Qian defeated his opponent.
Although Xu Qian is young, but now, the city government is extremely deep, and the other party has calculated the details of his own food in Zhejiang, and he did not show the slightest shock, he said lightly: "Yes, it is true." β
Li Shiao cheered up and continued: "That is to say, the Money and Grain Bureau and the Sea Route Pacification Envoy, Zhejiang has raised a total of 1040,000 quintals of grain, and I dare to ask Xu Futai if the old man is wrong. β
Xu Qian nodded: "There is nothing wrong at all, the adult is worthy of being the head of the household." β
Li Shiao continued: "In addition, you Zhejiang, there are still some grain endowments, although there are a lot of reductions and exemptions, but the old man according to the conversion of the household department in recent years, Zhejiang's grain tax this year will never exceed 300,000 quintals, at most, at most, that is, around 250,000 quintals, I don't know if the old man is right?" β
Since the large-scale reduction and reduction of grain taxes, Zhejiang has almost reduced the grain tax to the previous level of 20 percent, and the figure of 250,000 to 300,000 quintals is indeed not wrong.
Li Shiao smiled slightly and said: "In this way, one million and forty thousand quintals plus two hundred and fifty thousand quintals, the amount of grain that Zhejiang can pay is only about one million and three hundred thousand quintals at most." β
Xu Qian nodded: "My lord is really powerful, the amount of grain in Zhejiang was actually guessed by the adult, yes, according to the adult's algorithm, it is indeed 1.3 million quintals, but why do you have to say that it is 1.1 million quintals?" β
Li Shiao glanced at him contemptuously, and said: "You dare to claim to be a feudal official, and the official grain is transported from all prefectures and counties in Zhejiang to Beijing, and the loss should be at least 200,000 quintals, and the old man subtracted the loss of 200,000 quintals from this 1.3 million quintals, and naturally, you will pay up to 1.1 million quintals of official grain." β
Loss! This is a stubborn problem in the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely this household department that calculates how much grain you pay, which is to count how much grain you have put into storage, not how much you have collected. For example, Jiangxi actually collects 1.2 million quintals of official grain a year, and the storage is 1 million quintals, which is equivalent to 1 million quintals of official grain. The same is true in Zhejiang, Li Shiao is obviously not a clear stream, and he knows the inside story of this loss very clearly.
What is attrition? The so-called loss, just like the general consumption of fire, for example, the counties have levied grain, they must be escorted into Beijing, and if they want to be escorted into Beijing, they will inevitably be sent to Nantong Prefecture and transported north by boats, so you have to transport the grain to Nantong Prefecture first, but Nantong Prefecture is not a short distance from Zhejiang, you have to escort so much silver, and use thousands of people, and these people set off with food, you can't let them go hungry, right? Then they have to be given rations, and where will the rations come from? Naturally, it is in the official grain that was requisitioned, so the loss appeared, with this name, the officials up and down naturally had to scrape the oil and water in it, such as keeping a few hundred quintals casually, and all of them could be counted into the loss at that time, the court asked, naturally the people ate it, this is a natural phenomenon, after all, the people transport grain, always have to eat and drink, in addition, it is a means for many local officials to go up and down, in short, there is less grain, all push here, anyway, the household is not a god, It is also impossible to calculate the loss clearly, and each person will intercept a few hundred quintals, which is a piece of cake.
