Nanchang added a banknote customs, and without the permission of the imperial court, the governor of Jiangxi and the political secretary set it up privately.

Of course, the name is to raise money to suppress bandits, but I don't know where the money will go.

Ding Kuichu stood on the tower of Nanchang City, pretending to inspect the city defense, but in fact, his heart was extremely miserable. He is the new political envoy of Jiangxi Zuobu, and he seems to be promoted to a higher level, but in fact, he has been cut off from his financial route.

This product was originally the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and after the dismissal of Fu Zonglong, the governor of Jiliao, he was also responsible for acting the affairs of Jiliao.

Acting Governor Jiliao, what the hell is it to be thrown to Jiangxi as a political envoy?

Although this position is a high-risk position, he accidentally followed Yuan Chonghuan. But high risk means high reward, and the money rolls in, and it will not be spent in ten lifetimes.

In history, how much money did Ding Kuichu make?

After the Qing soldiers went south, this gang used the warships of the Southern Ming Dynasty to transport more than 200,000 taels of gold and more than 2 million taels of silver. Seventeen maids were also sent to serve the officers who were in charge of transporting the silver day and night. After the defeat in Haikou, Qu Shiyun donated 5,000 taels to help recruit troops, and asked Ding Kuichu to donate some too, but Ding Kuichu didn't take out a penny.

In the end, he was captured by Li Chengdong, a general of the Qing army, and Ding Kuichu wanted to surrender. But with so much money in his hand, how could Li Chengdong be willing to surrender? The whole family was immediately killed, and the goods were missing.

Ding Kuichu Governor Ji Liao dares to be greedy, that is facing the Tartars, Jiangxi's anti-thieves are a fart!

On the eighth day of his arrival in Nanchang, Ding Kuichu set up a banknote customs to collect customs duties from ships coming and going. Of course, Li Maofang was willing to cooperate, and the two put aside the factional dispute and quickly hooked up together.

As for the chief soldier Yang Jiamo, he was completely ignored by them, what is a general, he will rob the silver himself.

Fei Yinghuan's passenger boat was stuck in two miles south of Nanchang City, slowly queuing up to pay taxes and pass the customs.

"How can tariffs be collected too much? This business can't be done! ”

"Jiujiang will be levied once, and Nanchang will be levied again. After this run, I won't run Ganzhou, and I will go to the estuary in the future. ”

"I've seen eunuchs set up cards, I've seen vassal kings set cards, I've been in business for 20 years, and it's the first time I've met the governor and the political envoy to set up cards!"

"The second master of my family is also an official in the court, and he will definitely impeach these two bastards!"

"These two unconscious officials are not even as good as anti-thieves. In Linjiang Mansion and Ji'an Mansion, there is no card for anti-thieves, and only the berth tax of the wharf is charged. ”

“……”

Fei Yinghuan stood on the deck, and there were discussions in his ears from time to time, and those merchants were angry one by one.

The private money customs set up by civil officials are really outrageous, and Fei Yinghuan thinks that he is not so bold.

The tariff money was made quickly, some were one out of thirty, some were one out of twenty, and some were one out of ten. There is an official banknote customs on the Jiujiang side, and now there is a Nanchang banknote customs, and the merchant ships coming in from the Yangtze River, once the two banknotes are passed, there is basically no profit at all.

Or even a loss!

Fei Yinghuan felt that Jiangxi was finished, if Zhao Han could not be eliminated quickly, this kind of method would be boring.

It's really hard for people to make a living, and Zhao Han also has a headache.

Jiangxi itself does not produce salt, and Guangyan was cut off by the governor of Liangguang, and Huaiyan had to pass through two banknote passes. Now the price of salt in Linjiang and Ji'an has doubled compared with last year, and this is still subsidized by the General Military Government, and salt merchants are not allowed to increase prices indiscriminately, otherwise it is possible for the price of salt to increase three or five times.

Zhao Han's finances are almost unable to hold on, and he is seeking to buy illicit salt from Huguang and transport it over through the territory of the sweeping king.

After waiting for half a day, Fei Yinghuan finally passed.

After walking for a short time, I saw hundreds of cavalry, lined up in a long line, standing stupidly on the river beach.

Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Jiangxi, looked at the endless paddy fields and wanted to cry. He took hundreds of families to the post, all of them ironclad cavalry, and today he led the troops out to familiarize himself with the terrain, so he could only dismount and lead him throughout the process.

Either paddy fields or mountains, not to mention cavalry charges, it is impossible to even line up.

At the beginning, Li Maofang and Li Ruolian escaped on horseback, a distance of less than 200 miles, but they rode for ten days. At that time, the generals of the official army who fled on horseback were caught by Zhao Han several times, the reason was very simple, some horse's hooves stepped into the paddy field and could not pull it out, and some galloped on the ridge and accidentally fell.

"Alas!"

Yang Jiamo threw a gun into the mud, feeling that he was a tiger in a cage, and he couldn't exert all his strength. He would rather fight the rogue in the north than come here to fight the thieves, and most of his hundreds of families are wasted.

Fei Yinghuan looked at those cavalrymen from afar and couldn't help laughing.

Wei Jianxiong said: "The cavalry is still useful, and when the decisive battle is held, it is transported to the vicinity of the battlefield by boat. If there are not many paddy fields, you can take the opportunity to rush into battle, and the Jiangxi soldiers who have never seen cavalry will definitely collapse. ”

"With cavalry in Jiangxi, the terrain is too harsh." Fei Yinghuan shook his head repeatedly.

The passenger ship arrived at Linjiang Mansion in a blink of an eye, and Fei Yinghuan was very surprised, this city was still prosperous, and it didn't look like it was occupied by thieves at all.

When he came to a restaurant, the guy hurriedly greeted: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Just a few specialty dishes, no drinking." Fei Yinghuan came to inspect this trip, he didn't want to expose himself, and he was afraid of drinking and making mistakes.

The food was served, and after two bites, a beggar appeared in front of the restaurant.

He said he was a beggar, but he didn't look like it, because his clothes were not in tatters. said that he was a monk who turned into a relationship, but he didn't wear monk's clothes, but he just had a big bald head.

Suddenly, an errand officer appeared, grabbed the bald beggar and left.

Fei Yinghuan looked surprised, called the guy in the store and asked, "Those are monks?" How did he get caught by the officials? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "That's a fake monk who doesn't have a degree." After Mr. Zhao took Linjiang Mansion, he saw that there were too many temples inside and outside the city, so he sent people to clean up the temple. You know what? More than 1,000 fake monks and Taoist priests were arrested, and only about 30 were real monks. Those temples are now distributed to the poor, and the largest temple has been converted into a sanatorium. ”

Fei Yinghuan said curiously: "The expelled fake Taoist priests and fake monks can't even beg for food?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "It's okay to turn into a relationship, you have to have a degree, otherwise you will be regarded as a beggar, and Mr. Zhao is not allowed to have beggars under his rule." ”

"This is very strange," Fei Yinghuan suddenly remembered, he came from the dock, and he really hadn't seen a beggar, and couldn't help asking, "Where have the beggars gone?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "If you have all hands and feet, you can sign up to work." The young people were sent to the magnetic kilns and weapons as apprentices, and the older ones were sent to work as helpers at various construction sites. Those who are too old to work, or who are physically disabled, are sent to a sanatorium to sew clothes and make shoes for officers and soldiers. Mr. Zhao said, you can eat if you work, and you can't eat if you don't work. ”

Fei Yinghuan waved his hand to let the shopkeeper step back, and sighed: "Brother Han'er always does things unexpectedly. ”

Wei Jianxiong joked: "Their brother and sister are beggars, and I heard that they have been bullied by evil beggars, so I can't tolerate beggars under them." ”

"That's an interesting statement." Fei Yinghuan couldn't help but laugh.

By the way, many of the fake Taoist priests who were cleaned up by Zhao Han changed careers to tell fortunes.

There are also a small number of people who are not only literate, but also able to alchemy, and were captured to make gunpowder from weapons. The recipe process was guided by Song Yingxing, and these Taoist priests learned quickly.

After eating and drinking, Fei Yinghuan continued to go out for a stroll, and when he came to the place that was biased towards the west gate, the street suddenly became noisy.

But I saw pedestrians flashing to the side, and a group of soldiers came with weapons.

When the soldiers ran over, the people were curious about what was happening, so they swarmed after them to see the excitement.

Fei Yinghuan also hurriedly followed, and ran half a street, and the soldiers in front finally stopped.

Li Zheng yelled: "Fence up, don't let anyone go!" ”

The two-story building, which was quickly surrounded by soldiers, suddenly jumped out of the second-floor window on the side, limping into the crowd.

"Grab it!"

It's a pity that he ran slowly, and he only ran more than ten steps before he was caught.

The soldiers slammed open the door and rushed in, and the cries and screams and begging for mercy were mixed up and sent through the streets.

Li Zheng stood at the door and said to the onlookers: "From now on, it is forbidden to open casinos. If you find more than five people gambling together, you can all go to the government to report it, and half of the gambling money seized will be distributed to the whistleblower! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was an instant sensation.

On the spot, some people shouted: "I report, there is a casino on Dongyuan Street!" ”

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Troops have been sent over there." ”

Another richly dressed passer-by asked: "Master Jun, can't you play at home?" ”

Li Zheng explained: "If you are entertaining guests, you can also gamble at home. Don't think about taking advantage of loopholes, whether it is a banquet or a crowd to gamble, it will be clear when the time comes! ”

One by one, the gamblers were caught and spanked on the street.

Zhao Han set the rule that he couldn't hit the back of the board or the bones, so as to avoid crippling people. But spanking meat is okay, and you have to take off your pants, it's not very hurtful, and it's extremely insulting.

"Ahh

The big girl and the little daughter-in-law who came to see the excitement turned their heads one after another, because at the door of the casino, a row of white flowers showed their buttocks.

"Well played!"

"Isn't that Chen Laosi? This time, it's a big face. ”

"Deng Jiu is also there. Hey, Deng Jiu, the hairpin you was last month hasn't been redeemed yet. What kind of jewelry did you do this time? If you continue to gamble, your mother-in-law will run away with someone! ”

“……”

The gamblers all covered their faces, and they didn't care about the pain, so they just wanted to go home after the spanking early.

Not only did the gambling money confiscate, but even the money on the gamblers was searched and taken away by the soldiers.

Then, these gamblers can get out of here. Then all the casino employees were escorted out, and they were all tied up and sent to the mountains for mining.

A guy still dared to climb the relationship, and whispered flattery: "Mr. Li, my uncle is on an errand in the county government, he cooperated with the division of fields a while ago, and the government has personally rewarded him." You see, we are all our own people, and the water washed the Dragon King Temple. As long as Li puts me alone, the small one will definitely be rewarded. ”

"What's your uncle's name?" Li Zheng smiled.

The man replied: "My uncle's name is Huang Zhi, he is famous and famous, and he works as a clerk in the county office. ”

Li Zheng smiled and asked: "Does he have a share in this casino?" ”

"Yes, there are several big families in the city," said the man, "and the old men were still discussing it a few days ago, saying that they would give a piece of filial piety to the governor, the county, and the general Li every month. ”

Li Zheng smiled even more happily: "Very good." Someone is coming, go and contact Yuan Zhixian and ask him to arrest Huang Zhi for interrogation! ”

This person was speechless for a moment, and looked at Li Zheng stupidly.
