Abandoned the official and fled, what did he think? Even if Li Kui's analysis was well-founded, Gao Xiaoli still felt that this possibility was very small, and exclaimed loudly.

No wonder Gao Xiaoli exclaimed, the bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely stable, and there was only one reason for stability, the imperial court not only encircled the officials, but also the children and grandchildren of the officials. The condition is that the children and grandchildren are exempt from taxes. This is also why most of the big families in the Great Song Dynasty are official eunuchs, and there are very few people who have not produced officials in their families, but they can become big families.

Abandon official positions, and even run away for the welfare of officials. This is simply an unimaginable stupidity in the Great Song Dynasty. When Gao Xiaoli heard Li Kui judge that Jia Daoquan and the others were going to run, his first thought was that it was impossible.

"Then you tell me, after Jia Daoquan sold all his land and property, he is in Yingzhou, except for the official position that cannot be sold, what else is there to be nostalgic for?" In the face of Li Kui's questioning, Gao Xiaoli was hesitant, and it was indeed difficult to give favorable testimony. It seems that Jia Daoquan has only one daughter...... Thinking of this, Gao Xiaoli seemed to understand the other party's intentions: "He only has one daughter." But if he can say that he doesn't want this official body, he won't want it, what if he gives birth to a son in two years? ”

"After working hard for most of my life, I only have one daughter. If he is added to his wives and concubines, it will be the greatest tragedy. Li Kui felt that a strong man with a group of wives and concubines had only one daughter, which was very strange. So with his ingenuity, he thought of a terrible result. Facing the deterrence of Li Kui's big eyes, Gao Xiaoli was a little frightened.

He shouted vigorously in his heart: "No, impossible." ”

finally kept his mind, and then said with a little doubt: "I still don't believe that Jia Daoquan will give up their official position, after all, giving money can eliminate the disaster, why pay such a huge price?" ”

Li Kui complained: "Because your appetite is too big, they are afraid that they will not be able to feed you!" ”

Gao Xiaoli is stupid, they don't seem to be talking about the problem of the Zi clan at all, okay?

When a person is middle-aged and has no heir, the official position loses the possibility of continuation.

Li Kui couldn't understand this mentality, and even Li Yun felt that this guy would definitely run. On the contrary, it was the shopkeeper Qiu and others who showed solemn expressions, in the Great Song Dynasty, there is a very big difference between being an official and not being an official.

These are two completely different classes, and once an official abandons office, then for him, all the benefits given by the imperial court will be withdrawn. For example, the tax exemption in this life, the exemption from forced labor, and the descendants cannot inherit these benefits, etc.

Unlike other dynasties, only officials can enjoy it when they are alive, and this welfare system for officials in the Great Song Dynasty is extended to the descendants of officials. It can be said that once you become an official and gain the grace of the imperial court, you will break away from the people and become an official eunuch class. It is no different from the nobility, except that the official position cannot be inherited. However, the Great Song Dynasty would also give a certain amount of grace to the descendants according to the rank of the officials.

For example, Su Shi, his two sons received grace.

This is the benefit that children and grandchildren, as long as there is no generational break in the middle, they can always enjoy the benefits, and will push the entire family to a height that ordinary people can only look up to.

Even if the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are demoted, they rarely give up their status as officials and go back to be ordinary people. This is unimaginable, unless there is a kind of person, the official eunuch family, the Jianning Zhang family, and the Shouzhou Lu family, all of which are first-class wealthy families. Not to mention the Jinshi in the family, there are several of the three tripod armors, such as the Zhang family, there are two champions, and there are clansmen in each section of the Jinshi. After winning the jinshi, it is common for those who do not become officials.

Almost every person who lives in the Great Song Dynasty is an official fan.

Even the people of the Great Song Dynasty have an almost crazy obsession with being an official.

Official!

Official!

Life without being an official is not happy.

The reason why there is such a big obsession is that part of the official welfare of the Great Song Dynasty can be inherited by the next generation like an inheritance. For example, land property is exempt from tax and forced labor. The bureaucratic welfare of any dynasty is scum compared to the Great Song Dynasty. Even some people in the Great Song Dynasty would want to be exempted from the conscription and land tax, and they would come up with the matter of misidentifying their ancestors, which often happened.

The main reason is that the tax system of the Great Song Dynasty is simply unbearable.

On the surface, the field tax of the Great Song Dynasty was fifteen taxes and one tax, but the Great Song Dynasty played the tax into a waste.

Grain, money, salt......

The key is in a fold, the market price of 60 wen of grain, the government levies it and converts it into money, it becomes 30 wen calculation, and the tax on silk and linen will be converted into salt tea and the like. As soon as the court entered and exited, it had to earn double the profits, which invisibly increased taxes, but the people could only support it. There is also the Ding tax, which is a big tax that cannot be avoided. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are living in dire straits.

And the officials, the children of the eunuchs who inherit the tax exemption of the officials, do not need to think about these things at all.

They have most of the tax exemptions except for commercial taxes.

That's how the redundant officials of the Great Song Dynasty came about. If you want to say that there are tens of thousands of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, how can they become the two major malpractices that dragged down the government of the Great Song Dynasty?

Jiajiazhuang.

Jia Daoquan, Sun Zhuo, Liu An, the three of them can be regarded as people who once had a head and face in Yingzhou, what they didn't expect was that when they were about to stop, there was such a mistake, which caused the three of them to have to leave the country in the end.

Giving up their official status will be an extremely painful experience for their class.

Sun Zhuo swallowed the wine in a big gulp, but his mouth was extremely bitter. said angrily: "I'm unwilling, I don't want to say anything and just slip away, Gao Xiaoli!" Dog thief, don't die well! ”

On the surface, their desperate situation was caused by Gao Xiaoli's blackmail, but if they hadn't been traitors themselves, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Jia Daoquan didn't look at Sun Zhuo, but looked at Liu An and asked, "Brother Xian, have you thought about it?" ”

"Big brother, I can't be the owner of the village, and I haven't thought about ......it," Liu An thought for a while, and said with a firm gaze: "I still want to take my family to Quanzhou, and ...... in the future." Maybe I will become a maritime merchant in the future! ”

"Maritime?" Sun Zhuo turned his head and looked at Liu An in a daze, if it was before, he would have mocked him very bottomlessly, and then told Liu An: "You can't do it!" ”

But compared to maritime merchants, bandits are not the path he is willing to choose.

Because I had no choice, I left my hometown. But after all, they are the children of official eunuchs, and I am afraid that they have never thought of standing on the opposite side of the imperial court in their lives. To be a maritime businessman, although it is a fight for life. But business on the sea is much more lucrative than on land. As Sun Zhuo, who has the least capital among the three, he was moved.

The money in his hand, don't think about recruiting troops.

But as a maritime merchant, you can barely scrape together the capital of a boat.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhuo also agreed: "Big brother, I have also thought about it, to be a maritime businessman!" ”

Jia Daoquan's eyes showed a hint of disgust, but he didn't have a seizure. Instead, he put on a smile on his face and said to Sun Zhuo and Liu An: "It's okay, Quanzhou is a good place to go." Maritime business is lucrative and risky, so you should be careful. But before we can do that, we have a big deal to do. ”

"What's the big deal?" Liu An was puzzled, apart from fleeing for their lives, what else could be considered a big deal?

Jia Daoquan said demagoguously: "We were forced to leave Yingzhou helplessly, don't you have the slightest resentment in your hearts?" All of this is due to one person, and we are all ready to leave, do we still have to swallow our anger? ”

Jia Daoquan gritted his teeth and said: "We are not happy, and we will not let Gao Xiaoli be unhappy, otherwise I will definitely not be able to bear this breath." ”

"Big brother, we listen to you!"

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up!"

He is different from Sun Zhuo and Liu An, in order to completely turn himself into a tyrant in Yingzhou, Jia Daoquan even spent many years to form a Zhuang Ding, which is actually a private army. There are 800 people, and these people can only let him choose the bandits, but he can't become a maritime merchant, and the biggest reason is that these people have become lambs to be slaughtered when they go to the sea.

But on land, the combat power is certainly not bad.

He chose the bandits, so he couldn't use the previous methods to cover up the edge of this private army.

This time, he wants to show his sword Yingzhou, and he has also thought about the person who sacrificed the flag, Gao Xiaoli.

Thinking of this, Jia Daoquan stood up, put the wine bowl in his hand on the ground, and shouted: "Break through Gaojiazhuang, capture Gao Xiaoli alive, and use his blood to open the sacrificial flag for us!" ”
