The officials of these prefectures and counties who stayed in the prefecture and county were suddenly excited.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Don't look at everyone's usual five or six people, but they are still human beings after all, everyone has studied hard and stayed up for decades, what is the purpose of being an official?

Speaking of high points, they have pursuits, they hope to be able to educate one side, but if they pursue lower ones, their hope is most likely to get rich.

In life, money is a must, not to mention that many government and county officials are over forty years old, and at their age, there are already a lot of children and nephews, so if you don't think about them now, how long will you wait? Didn't you wait until your black gauze hat was gone, and the whole family would follow you to eat the northwest wind?

Are the cabinet elders greedy for ink or not? They are not greedy for ink, why do they have a house covering an area of 100 acres in Beijing, and why do they have 10,000 acres of fertile land in the township? The only difference between a famous minister and a jiān minister is in political opinions, depending on whether you are doing good or bad things, and greed for ink is by no means an indicator to measure.

Let's just say that the surname Shang, Zhejiang's Sanyuan, the champion of talent, although the later generations are not good, but he is also a generation of famous ministers, at least later generations of scholars mentioned him, which one should not give birth to admiration, but the business background is not good, and the family is not solid, but when Zhishi, the family already has thousands of acres of fertile land.

Not to mention the two ministers of this court at the moment, which one is not either rich or expensive now, where does their money come from?

The ministers can get silver, and it does not prevent them from being admired, which shows that the greed for ink is really not a big stain.

But it was really easy for the ministers to ask for money, and all they had to do was lie at home. Every year, the officials of the world will obediently send money to his house. People don't have to peel the skin and knock the bones, and they don't have to hurt the sky. But the magistrate did not.

The most important thing is the loss of official food, and the loss is divided into official food loss and fire consumption, and the loss of official food is now strictly handled by the imperial court, and the household department has set the loss to death, if you take more, you can't hand over the grain, and you will bear the consequences. And the fire consumption does not seem to be very reliable, because the tax money collected by each prefecture and county is really pitiful. A few thousand taels is good, but counting the fire consumption, how much can you take?

After all, the Ming Dynasty is not the imperial court that has entered hundreds of millions of silver a hundred years later, and the tax money you collect is not even ten percent of the people's money, and people can spend a single fire on it, and they can make 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years, but when it comes to your head, I am afraid that there may not be a thousand.

Except, of course, on these. There are many other means, such as colluding with local tyrants to fight lawsuits, and local tyrants kill people, what should I do? The yamen is open. If you have no money, don't come in. Then there is the idea of giving relief, and if you deduct it layer by layer, you can also get a lot of oil and water. Also, when building the embankment, use your hands and feet on the embankment.

these means. It's the most hurtful, and even if it's embezzlement. There are not many debts, to put it bluntly, there is still no money, you are suffering from a disaster here, how much money and food can be allocated by the imperial court? You must know that the annual income of the imperial court is only this, the household department has to deduct one layer, and when it comes to the province, it is another layer of deduction, and when it comes to your county, there is almost only mosquito meat left.

In fact, everyone is a scholar, and there is still a sense of morality, but this moral concept is finally bent to reality, everyone knows that it is unreasonable to do this, and no one wants to do such a thing as having a child without an asshole, but the problem is that if you don't do it, you will starve to death, and your children and grandchildren will be unlucky and suffer poverty with you.

You see how good some stories are, a certain grandfather once worshiped the servant, but his sleeves were clean, so his family was poor, in order to study, how to work hard, and how to hold the beauty in the end, how to enter high school.

This story ends with a comedy, but the officials who heard it were creepy, and they were not rich for three generations, not to mention the hard work of being an official, and leaving nothing for their children and grandchildren, is this still called an official? Expecting his children and grandchildren to be able to go to high school in the future is better than holding more money now.

On the one hand, they are full of sacred scriptures and talk about moral education, but on the other hand, they all have to go around to loot for money, even if the imperial envoy is impeached, even if they may risk losing their heads, they are still happy to do it.

And the matter of Zhejiang, all of a sudden, made them seem to have found a guiding light.

It turns out that silver can be earned in this way, there is no need to hurt the heavens and reason, there is no need to force people to live, just let their relatives and relatives resell something casually, and they can earn thousands of dollars and earn floating wealth for several lifetimes.

This kind of profit is not only high, but also the silver, also cleaner, just like the same knowledge of the relatives reselling wood, wood itself has a great profit, relying on the relationship with the knowledge, but also afraid that the wood can not be sold, their price, and the price on the market is the same, this is not a forced to buy and sell, since it is a relation, and the price of wood and quality and other people resell, people are of course more inclined to choose the same wood, after all, there will always be a breeze in the future, and just sell wood, it is said that a year's income, It can be as high as seven or eight thousand taels of silver, with this money, the second-hand dealer directly buys a large piece of forest farm, and resells the wood by himself, as long as the sales are not a problem, the income in the coming year, I am afraid that it will climb again.

In addition to wood, it is said that silk spinning is also done, and now silk spinning is so tight, and there is Tongzhi Lord sitting behind it, and I am afraid that I will lose money.

A Tongzhi, what is it, it is ugly to say, Tongzhi is of high grade, but most of the people who live in this inn are prefects, even if it is the county order of each county, then it is also the overlord of one party, Tongzhi is an adjutant after all, and the adjutant can earn so much silver, why can't we? It is said that this Tongzhi has a steady income of at least 10,000 taels of silver in a year, compared to this Hangzhou Tongzhi, these colleagues really feel ashamed, because they risk killing their heads, and they have to do a lot of hurtful things, and the annual income is far less than a cow's hair. The Ming Dynasty did not stipulate that the dependents of officials could not do business, and they did not force them to buy and sell, nor did they use shoddy goods, which was simply a model of businessmen and a model of the New Deal.

The whole inn, this kind of news is circulating everywhere, and there are even legends that the former prefect of Hangzhou, that is, the current Wang Buzheng, is now worth at least 100,000, 100,000 silver, he not only has shares in the Money and Grain Bureau, but also participates in many large workshops, and his second son, because he is not motivated to study, Suo xìng does not even want fame, has been in Ningbo, set up a dock, specializing in the manufacture of sea ships, a sea ship, sold is more than 4,000 silver, profit of at least 1,000.

There are also rumors that the Yuyao County Order is now also booming, and it is a property in Hangzhou, and one or two thousand taels of silver have not blinked their eyebrows.

Many people can't sleep, some sigh, some regret, and some are still making various calculations.

The eyes are red, they are all officials, why are officials different from officials, they have done so many things that have lost their conscience, why are they not as good as them?

On this night, many people had no sleep.

In the early morning, everyone still got up early in the morning, if yesterday, everyone came here, just to join in the fun, everyone looked at the heart of the joy, sighed at the scale of the boat, sighed at those kitsch yín skills, and that's it.

But now, everyone's mindset has changed.

The sedan chair of the new prefect of Hangzhou has arrived, and I want to take you to a new workshop area on the outskirts of the city not far away, where a large area, with a radius of dozens of miles, is located with many silk spinning. Everyone surrounded Zhang Ye in groups, and said: "My lord is gracious, but I want to take a walk and take a look by myself, but I am afraid that I can only understand the kindness." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the benefits of this new deal can only be understood by seeing it yourself, adults don't have to worry about us, the new deal is about to be implemented, and adults are also very busy, so you don't have to accompany me to wait."

"This ......" Zhang Ye said hesitantly: "If this is the case, I am only afraid of ......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of, adults can rest assured."

The crowd clamored together.

Let people lead it to see, after all, it is not comfortable, it is better to zìyóu activities, many people have already calculated, they have to go and see the house of the same knowledge, want to see what the house of thousands of taels of silver looks like, and some people want to inquire about it privately, and there may be many insiders.

Zhang Ye had to smile bitterly and said, "In this way, I'm afraid that I will snub you." ”

"Adults don't have to be like this, it's too polite, it's too polite."

Zhang Ye had to go home, these people in groups of three or five, swarmed out of the inn, all without official appearance, fortunately they were wearing civilian clothes, but it didn't matter, hired someone to lead the way, inquired about all kinds of Hangzhou officialdom secrets, and all secrets, think about exaggeration, Hangzhou rumors are a lot, and the rumors are half-true, someone went to see the legendary silk spinning of the same relatives, saw countless people busy, a car of silk shipped out, to the dock not far away, everyone was excited, silver, this is all silver, The value of silk, they are known, so much silk, which ......

In the evening, everyone came back one after another, each talking about their own experience, as if the sailors who had discovered the new world, one by one could not stop the excitement, they had a premonition, a bright future, in front of their eyes.
