In the crisp autumn weather, tax collection is a crucial task.

The tax collectors have been dispatched.

Not only that, but the model battalion also began to temporarily station in Wuhu, Dangtu, and Fanchang counties in the name of drills.

Zhang Anshi became the commander-in-chief, sitting in the center.

The three brothers were dispatched in the three counties.

Coupled with the assistance of Tongzhi Gao Xiang, the county orders of the three counties were also guarded in the county yali.

Almost all the servants and scribes began to get busy.

The magistrate accepts the people's grievances and mediates the dispute.

The scribes who were brought by Teruma also began to accept the reports of the people and correct the non-compliance of the officials.

Xuezheng is also very busy, he manages the scholars in his house, but now the most violent person who may make trouble is the reader, because of this, so ...... He's almost being stared at now. A few people in Jinyi looked at him, and when the counties received any trouble from the scholars, they immediately asked him to sign a document dismissing the scholars' merits and punishments.

This Xuezheng is almost the most unwilling official in the house, no way, his duty is naturally contrary to Zhang Anshi, in his mind, his responsibility is to help the scholars and enjoy their respect for themselves.

But Zhang Anshi doesn't think so, he thinks that Xuezheng should be a tool to suppress readers. Good guy, the great grandmaster has become a judge, who can stand this.

Zhang Anshi is the most relieved is him, so people are always watching, whether you are happy or not, if something is reported, you have to sign, if you don't sign, that is to obstruct and attack the White Lotus Sect.

The tax collectors of the counties have begun to go to the countryside, and most of the chiefs and chiefs of the townships have cooperated after several rounds of blood changes.

Of course, it's not that no one is disobedient, but the pressure is pressed down from the prefect's yamen, and if you dare to conceal or perfunctory, and finally this military law falls on your head, then you will be ruthless to you.

The scariest thing is...... The tax collectors went to the countryside to collect taxes, and even used firecrackers.

Of course, this is also very reasonable, this is to prevent the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, after all, military law is practiced here.

Disputes are not without them.

Of course, someone asked for money or not, but for a life, so they ...... Immediately took it to the county office.

You're not welcome in the county, after all...... This guy has affected everyone's performance, not to mention the county order himself...... can get the favor of Zhang Anshi, and he will have a future in the future.

If he is soft on these people, once he loses his performance, it will be tantamount to offending all the servants and clerks up and down in the yali, and this county order will also be greatly disappointed.

Thereupon...... The county is full of the sound of boards playing every day.

Any new military order comes out, there will always be people who do not adapt to the rules, at this time, if you are relieved, or have a deliberative tone with him, the other party is afraid that you will have to gain an inch.

This is called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, catching a few typical examples, and then beating them first.

A sum of accounts, as well as a lot of grain, began to be escorted to Qixia.

On Qixia's side, the original treasury was actually full, which made Zhang Anshi have to find a way to lease the warehouse of the merchant Jia.

For more than half a month, Zhang Anshi was almost non-stop, watching every move of each county every day, the Taiping Mansion is not big, and the jurisdiction is only three counties, plus one Qixia. However, because it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are 97,000 registered households, and the population is about 600,000.

The scale is not big or small, and it is extremely difficult to manage so many people, especially the new military law to be rolled out.

The tax collectors in the government mainly teach water and land inspection assistance to collect taxes on merchants.

On the one hand, their own status is low, and on the other hand, they themselves know that the environment for operating and trading in Taiping Mansion is indeed much better than that in other places.

Elsewhere, while taxes may seem pitifully low, the cost of exploitation is often much higher.

Not to mention that there are still too many uncertainties.

At the end of October, Gao Xiang hurriedly came to see Zhang Anshi.

Gao Xiang immediately said: "Grandpa, the collection is almost over, it should be almost over, and now there are only a few remote taxes and some discrepancies that need to be checked." ”

Zhang Anshi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's really not easy, it's like a war, there are endless things happening every day." ”

Gao Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, there are too many things that have not happened before, and it is really a headache to cook them one by one, but fortunately, through this time...... Finally, the rules have been established, and if there are similar things in the future, there will be rules to follow. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's report the number in the next few days, I estimate that the collection of other provinces is about the same." ”

He paused, then said, "Is there anything else?" ”

This is what it means to send off a guest.

Gao Xiang smiled bitterly, but stayed where he was, and said cautiously: "Has Grandpa heard about it?" Kyocha has already begun. ”

"Kyocha?" Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said.

Gao Xiang thought that Zhang Anshi didn't know anything about this, so he said patiently: "Every three years, the Ministry of Officials will conduct a Beijing inspection of the officials in the capital to evaluate them whether they are good or bad. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Oh, how was your Jingcha three years ago?" ”

"Medium." Gao Xiang said truthfully: "It's not good, it's not bad. ”

Zhang Anshi was a little curious, so he said, "What will happen if it's not good or bad?" ”

"Naturally, don't want to be promoted, and of course, you won't be deposed."

"Will you be deposed?" Zhang Anshi said in surprise, but he was a little surprised by this.

"Of course it will, if it is inferior, it will be deposed."

Zhang Anshi said: "But I haven't heard of it, and some ministers have been deposed because of this." ”

Gao Xiang said with a smile: "Because although there has been Jingcha, almost no one has been rated inferior. ”

"I see." Zhang Anshi said: "It means medium cup, large cup, and super large cup." ”

In Gao Xiang's opinion, these words were in the clouds, and he looked confused and didn't understand.

Zhang Anshi didn't explain much, but said: "Okay, don't worry about other idle things, just do your own thing." ”

"Yes." Gao Xiang nodded and said: "Xiaguan will leave in a while, go to Dangtu County, there is a dispute in Dangtu County. ”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." After a few more days, even the number of the remote villages was counted.

Zhang Anshi asked his scribe to make the final conversion.

At this moment, Li Zhaomo ran out of breath.

In the hall, before Zhang Anshi sat down, he shouted impatiently: "Grandpa...... Grandpa......"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Anshi looked at him with disgust.

Li Zhaomo was in charge of discipline and supervising officials, so theoretically, he had to communicate with the officials at any time.

As if in a hurry, he ran in one breath, and at this time, he gasped and said, "Something's wrong, there's an accident." ”

Zhang Anshi sat down, but said calmly: "What can it be?" ”

"Our Taiping Mansion is in Beijing this year, and there are eighteen people up and down...... Jingcha is inferior, and almost all of the eight laws are accounted for, so it is said that Gao Tongzhi's judgment is: greedy, cool, imprudent, impetuous, and weak......"

Li Zhaomo's face was ugly: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials did not get any good, and the judgment of the lower officials was: inaction, impetuousness, and weakness. ”

"The best evaluation is nothing but Chen Xuezheng, Chen Xuezheng's is mediocre except for his old age. As for the prefectural ordinances of the lower counties...... It's even worse. ”

Zhang Anshi obviously couldn't maintain his determination anymore, and said angrily: "him, who is this judge?" ”

"Officials."

Zhang An said calmly: "What are they going to do?" Bullying me Zhang Anshi? ”

"It's not ......" Li Zhaomo looked at Zhang Anshi with a complicated expression: "Their evaluation of you is still good, saying that you can fulfill your duties, and you are young and promising, hardworking and capable......"

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhang Anshi probably understood, of course, these guys didn't dare to offend him Zhang Anshi, but it didn't prevent them from using this to knock on these officials who were close to Zhang Anshi.

Moreover, the Jingcha of the Ministry of Officials itself is the meaning of the imperial court, that is, it represents the imperial court's view of the officials of the Taiping Mansion.

Zhang Anshi looked at Li Zhaomo seriously and said, "What will happen if it is rated inferior?" ”

"I'm going to be dismissed." Li Zhaomo smiled bitterly: "The lightest one should also ask questions, or be demoted, maybe in a few days, the officials will have a document down, and the officials will be ...... The lower officials may ...... I'm going to Qiongzhou to be a county magistrate or a county magistrate. However, Gao Tongzhi's situation may be the worst, and he will most likely be dismissed. ”

Zhang Anshi sneered: "Really? Isn't this ministry a bully? I'm going to settle accounts with them. ”

Li Zhaomo hurriedly said: "Don't do it, if that's the case, then something is really going to happen." If the grandfather opposes Jingcha, wouldn't he be telling the truth? Officials of the Ministry of Heaven...... They are just doing their job, and if they make a big fuss because of this, won't they be judged to be inferior to us? ”

After a pause, Li Zhaomo continued: "What's more, this is not something that the officials themselves can make, Jingcha still needs the approval of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, in addition, Dali Temple is also responsible for assisting...... If you really want to settle accounts, is this worth reckoning? ”

Zhang Anshi frowned, didn't say anything for a while, but gradually calmed down.

He understood that what Li Zhaomo said was right.

After thinking about it, Zhang Anshi said: "Gather everyone, I'll have a meeting, and let's come up with an idea together." Li Zhaomo nodded.

He was like a mourner, where did he think that retribution would come so quickly.

So I hurriedly went to invite someone, and not long after, the officials in this mansion came one by one with black faces.

Gao Xiang, who knew the same thing, was even more pale.

He didn't have any illusions about Jingcha, and he thought that he could maintain a medium amount, but where did he think that someone would actually attack him so black, which was clearly to kill him.

Since the Hongwu period, Jingcha has been inferior, and there are very few officials who have been deposed.

He couldn't help but be extremely desolate in his heart, and only shook his head secretly, no matter what, it seemed that he couldn't hide from it.

Wouldn't that be good? At the beginning, he thought about resigning, and now he has fulfilled his wish.

But even though he thinks so, he is still unwilling in his heart, and he took the initiative to resign, which is called Gao Fengliangjie, and now he is deposed, but he is a water dog.

has lived for most of his life, the sea has been up and down, and he is quite conscientious, where did he think that he would end up in such a fate.

At this time, Zhang Anshi looked at everyone: "Everything is known, right?" ”

Gao Xiang got up and saluted: "Grandpa...... In the next few days, the lower officials will find a way to clean up the assigned things and wait for new acquaintances......"

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "What are you doing in such a hurry!" They say you're inferior, and you think you're inferior? Say you want to resign from your office, and you won't be an official? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Anshi saw that everyone's faces were pale, and his heart was not happy.

Zhang Anshi said: "Damn, the official word has two mouths, on weekdays, it is me Zhang Anshi who pinches others, and today there are still people who want to pinch me Zhang Anshi, this group of dogs are daring." ”

"Grandpa." Gao Xiang smiled bitterly: "The results of Jingcha have come out, and it is useless to say these whining words." Instead of causing trouble, it is better to ......"

Everyone nodded.

Although everyone knows that the outcome of the matter is difficult for people to accept.

But what they are more afraid of is that Zhang Anshi is going to make trouble because of this.

If this makes a fuss, it will really be the eyes of the people in the world, not only will the official not have to do it, but it may also become the fault of the public.

They are well aware...... No one can take Zhang Anshi's example, and the ministry is not the same as giving Zhang Anshi an excellent grade?

But once they become the ones who are lost, they may have to suffer a second injury, then it is really Sven who is swept away, and there is no last bit of decency left.

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips, but said: "I know what you mean, you want to swallow your anger, or even simply ...... It's a hundred. This can't be done, you have followed me for so many days, and now the government is practicing military law, finally you are willing to use your life, and everyone has experience, how can you let those dog officials say whatever they say? You are my people in life, and you are my demons in death. “

Gao Xiang: "......"

Gao Xiang didn't get the slightest comfort from Zhang Anshi, but this guy's words shocked him, and he couldn't tell whether Zhang Anshi was praising or scolding.

Of course, no one has the heart to seriously think about this now, but they are full of discouragement.

A lifetime of hard work has been wasted, can you not be disheartened?

Zhang Anshi looked at their dejected appearances, and said, "Cheer me up, since they want to be like this, then...... You can also rest assured, I, Zhang Anshi, will never teach you to be embarrassed and will not make trouble. But ......"....Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "But now that you are still officials in the palace, you have to do a good job in one day." So now the big guys, don't do anything else, put down the matter at hand, all the officials above the ninth grade in the mansion will come with me Zhang Anshi. ”

Gao Xianghu said suspiciously: "Grandpa...... Where to go? ”

"Go to the household department." Zhang Anshi said: "Our taxes this year have been collected, so we naturally have to go to the household department to submit money and grain, financial revenue and expenditure, and tax accounts. Isn't that what we should be doing? ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Call people up, and set off now." ”

Gao Xiang and the others suddenly felt very stressed.

Obviously, they're not the kind of people who like to swagger.

But Zhang Anshi is clearly trying to swagger through the market.

He was unprecedented, and made people prepare many exquisite carriages.

In addition, hundreds of errands were summoned, some playing signs in front, and some sounding gongs in front to open the way.

On this sign, the book reads: Taiping Prefect Zhang ...... Or the words Taiping Mansion Tongzhi and so on.

You must know that although local parents and officials are very particular about pomp and circumstance, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, parents and officials are not.

In this capital, where you can kill a Hanlin casually, the local prefect and county are just a fart.

Here, maybe even a high-powered waiter doesn't dare to let people sound gongs and play signs.

Ke Zhang Anshi...... It's ingenious.

All of a sudden, a long procession appeared on the official road, mighty, servants like clouds, dozens of cars and horses, like long snakes.

Gao Xiang sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of the gong outside, especially hearing the words shouted by the errands: "idlers avoid", his heart was about to jump out.

Zhang Anshi was triumphant, took his new car, sat in this comfortable and spacious new car, and marched towards the capital under the hugs of the front and back.

Qixia is only a few feet away from the capital.

When they crossed the gate, the gatekeepers were startled.

Since the Hongwu period began to guard the city gate, so many years have passed, and there is no one yet...... The prefect dares to have such pomp, even if it is ...... Ying Tianfu's Mansion Yin ...... He doesn't have the guts.

This can be regarded as encountering a talent, and the prefect is afraid that he thinks he is taking office in Qiongzhou.

However, when the city gate guards were about to step forward to ask, before the words could be spoken, they immediately saw the three words Taiping Mansion, and immediately dodged to the side in a daze, and remained silent.

The long procession rushed in, and then they went to the inner city.

This way...... Along the way, many soldiers and civilians saw it, all of them were dumbfounded, and the people in Beijing had never seen such a pomp and circumstance as the local parents, especially some children, who were all very novel, so they jumped and followed behind, so that the line was longer.

At this time, in the household department, Zhou Shilang, who was on duty, was chatting with Master Wu.

The household department is indeed very busy these days, and all prefectures and counties have to hurry to submit money, grain, financial revenues and expenditures, as well as tax accounts, so to speak, this is the busiest time for the household department at this time.

But after all, the clerk at the bottom is responsible for the specific work, and for the chief official, it is obviously just a hands-off shopkeeper. ...."Have you heard about this Jingcha?" Ay...... I really didn't expect it......" Zhou Shilang smiled and groaned: "It's still their officials who can play tricks." ”

Director Wu had the intention of currying favor with the waiter on duty, so he smiled and said, "This is also no way, I heard that ...... It's so fierce over there......"

"That's it, that's it." Zhou Shilang pressed his hand and said, "Don't say this in the ministry now, if Xia Butang knows, he will reprimand us again." ”

Director Wu smiled understandingly.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums outside came from far and near.

Zhou Shilang frowned and said, "What kind of movement is this?" ”

"This ...... Xia Guan went to take a look. ”

The long queue finally arrived at the house.

The servants in front of the door of the household were dumbfounded, and their eyes were straight.

There are many prefectures and counties that have submitted money and grain accounts, and even there are many political envoys in various provinces.

But to make such a big commotion...... But it's unheard of!

At this moment, a man came down from one of the current carriages, this man was wearing a python robe, standing long, full of nobility, he looked up at the gate of this household, and then paced into the gate of this household.

Seeing a few doormen who were still stunned in place, this person popped out a word from between his mouth: "Get out!" ”

Mending subconsciously avoided the side.

So, this man led the crowd all the way directly into the household hall.

"Who is here...... "Facing him, it was Master Wu who came in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi looked at him and said calmly: "Zhang Anshi, the prefect of Taiping Mansion." ”

Chief Wu's face immediately turned blue and red, and after a short period of distraction, he immediately changed to a smiling face: "It turned out to be Wei Guogong, disrespectful, disrespectful." Wei Guo Gong ...... Here we ...... What is it? ”

Zhang Anshi said unceremoniously: "I came to report the account, I am the prefect, this year's autumn tax has been collected, and as usual, all political envoys, governments, and counties must come to report the money and grain accounts." You don't fucking know this, do you? ”

Director Wu: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Where is the house?" I'm going to go and order it first. ”

Director Wu hurriedly said: "Oh, it's just to present money and grain accounts, how can you work hard?" Send a scribe, that is, please, please......"

Director Wu obediently led Zhang Anshi in, only he knew that his brain was dizzy at this time, and he couldn't be sure...... What the hell is this guy doing here?

But seeing Zhang Anshi with a mighty official, he said unhurriedly: "Okay, who is responsible for the ...... of the account?"

Director Wu hurriedly said: "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ...... No, you can handle it for your grandfather in person. ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Are you alone?" ”

"The lower officials have a little bit of accounting, it should be enough." Chief Wu smiled.

Zhang Anshi said: "It's not that I look down on you, but if you are alone, you may ...... A month is not enough. ”

Director Wu was a little anxious: "Grandpa...... The lower official is the main person in charge of money and food, speaking of which, it is not the lower official who brags...... It's ......."

But when it came to this, Director Wu suddenly stopped talking, and even a pair of eyes slowly widened, and the whole person seemed to be shocked, and his eyes showed a bit of incredulity.

Because...... He saw one by one the servants and the boxes were brought one by one.

These huge boxes, which looked a little heavy, clattered and were rested on the ground.

Zhang Anshi turned around lightly and reached out to open one of the boxes.

And behold, in the chest, there was a pile of books, and the whole chest was full.

And such a box...... There were seven or eight of them.

Director Wu immediately felt that his brain was dizzy, as if he was drunk, and said dizzily: "What...... How...... So much ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Come, you come to verify, this is what you said, I want to open my eyes today......"

Director Wu: "......"

………………

The first chapter is delivered, discuss a matter, and ask for a monthly pass...... Luckily.

96.
