Garrison Hall.

"Mr. He, the little one hasn't passed through the ancestors yet."

He Qian, who was swollen with two cheeks, didn't bother to open his mouth, and broke into the garrison hall by himself.

At the moment when He Qian broke into the garrison hall, Mai Fu, who was standing in front of the bookcase with a pen, was stupid.

"Are you...... Mr. Geeyang? Recently, the food has been good, and I haven't gained a lot of weight in two days. ”

When he saw McFu, the old man's tears fell uncontrollably.

"Grandpa Mai, you have to call the shots for the old man!"

After He Qian finished talking about his experience with a handful of snot and tears.

McFuy looked up in disbelief.

"You...... This is what Ning Yixian smoked? ”

"Grandpa Mai, just say you don't care! You don't care, just treat the old man as if he is here to take leave today. ”

McFuy put down the pen at any time and hurriedly said: "It's okay to take leave, go home and rest for a few days." ”

"Rest? If Your Majesty doesn't see the old man, the old man will find a place to hang it in Chengtianmen and won't come back. ”

McFuy's brows tightened when he heard this.

"No, that's so unlucky, ah no, we have to take our time."

He Qianjing slapped the table.

"He himself admitted it, the old man was fought by Ning Ke, and the fire in the academy last night was set by Ning Ke."

"What are you waiting for?"

McFuy took a deep breath and thought for a moment.

He wanted to cover up for Ning Jue.

But this thing is so desperate that McFuy really doesn't know where to start.

"Ah, he hit you, you shouldn't be mistaken......"

McFuk clapped his hands.

"Mr. Jiyang, who can prove that the fire last night was set by Ning Yanxian!"

"The old man's three disciples saw it with their own eyes! He would rather carry the wine into the academy at the end! The academy is made of fine wood, and there is no wine or oil! ”

And when He Qian heard McFu's next words, the whole person was stupid.

I saw Mai Fu looking at He Qian with a cheeky smile and said: "Arson is a big case, you can't be convicted by two people with red mouths and white teeth, right?" ”

He Qian looked at McFuk dumbfounded.

He has been working in the Criminal Department for almost five years.

For so many years, how to sentence has always been his mouth, and this is the first time it has been his turn.

"Then he also slapped the old man! The old man is a member of the three products of the imperial court! ”

McFuge looked at He Qian with a smile and a smile.

"Mr. Jiyang, according to the law of Da Ming, what crime should be committed for slapping a colleague?"

He Qian was silent.

Only the little attendant behind him whispered: "Ancestor, the Great Ming Law is not contained. ”

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to break his head, and he couldn't imagine that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty would be so full of martial virtue in the future.

"Then follow the precedent, who was the last person to be slapped in my Ming Dynasty?"

"Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is also a positive third product."

"How was Ma Shun's case finally decided?"

"It's not judged yet."

The silence in the garrison hall was terrifying.

After a long time, McFuy looked at He Qian with a little guilt.

"Mr. Geeyang, it's really not like I don't call the shots for you...... You don't know this precedent, no. ”

"Quick, two things that don't have long eyes, hurry up and hold Mr. Geeyang, and later we will find a doctor to prescribe two medicines for Mr. Geeyang, and I will be recuperating first."

Before He Qian came back to his senses, he was already "carried out" of the garrison hall by two guards.

It wasn't until he was thrown out of the garrison hall that McFuy didn't forget to add a sentence.

"If Mr. Jiyang really wants to go to Jingshi, Mr. Jiyang don't forget to inform our family."

"Bang!" With a bang, the door of the garrison hall was closed from the inside, as if he was afraid that He Qian would break back again.

He Qian, who came out of the garrison hall, sat on the slightly dilapidated white marble steps.

Until now, he hadn't recovered from Ning Jue's two slaps, and his brain was almost stagnant.

After the wind blew for a while, He Qian's brain barely recovered.

"McFu, Ning Jue, you two are too much to deceive people together, I want to see how long you can wear these pants!"

Originally, He Qian was going to return to his hometown directly, but with these two slaps, He Qian's "Beggar Osteoporosis" will have to be re-published in a while.

He Qian sat on the jade steps for a long time, and then walked straight out of the palace.

More than 20 members of the He family in green clothes and small hats, all holding sticks, had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.

"Master, I have found all the people, as long as you give an order, the little ones will rush into the yamen of the military department, and drag Naning Ke out to finally be a fat beating!"

He Qian's face was swollen, his eyes were closed, and he gritted his teeth and climbed into the carriage.

"Get out of here, go home."

With that, He Qian suddenly raised his foot and kicked it on the carriage.

"Drive!"

"Whoa."

Only more than 20 people outside the palace gate were left looking at each other.

And the guards guarding the palace gate had also noticed that this group of people with sticks did not look like good people.

"What do you see me doing? Follow the master and go home! ”

"Whoa!"

——

One of the largest private rooms in the Crane Tower.

This is the first time Zou Wang has returned to Jinling since Xishan Litian, and he also has a little emotion in his heart.

"Donghu, Grandpa Mai really didn't say anything?"

Listening to Hua Linxiang's worries, Zou Wang was noncommittal.

Zou Wang knows why he can live to this day, the Son of Heaven does not want a Zou Wang, but a group of businessmen.

For Hua Linxiang, as long as he is willing to jump ship, Zou Wang can only pinch his nose and smile.

"What we didn't say meant was that we were going to do what we were going to do."

Hua Linxiang said with some puzzlement: "But this Ning Lixian doesn't look like a good match at all!" ”

"Ning Lixian is Ning Lixian, we are us, don't think so much about Haiyue."

Since hearing about the imperial court's decree and the Xishan pilot, Zou Wang has been inquiring about the news to determine the specific policy of this year's autumn grain, but he has only looked for Mai Fu a few times, and Mai Fu is noncommittal.

Zou Wang could only turn his head to find Ning Jue, and then confirmed the news.

"But I just don't understand, why is Grandpa Mai hiding from us!"

Zou Wang took the wine cup and drank it all impatiently, and then said in a low voice: "What else?" Do you think Grandpa Mai didn't see that we didn't tell the whole story? ”

"The reason why Father-in-law Mai saw it and didn't ask in detail means that Father-in-law doesn't want to be involved in the Xishan Whip Law with you and me."

"But ......" Hua Linxiang still said with some concern.

Ever since he swallowed up such a large sum of land as those nobles.

Hua Linxiang felt as if he was going to the street with his bare buttocks.

Behind the butt, only McHouy was on top.

Hua Linxiang always felt cold under his crotch.

"What? The court bothered Baal to fish Zou out of the execution ground, not to find another person to behead you and me, what should you and I do. ”

Zou Wang had already said so, and Hua Linxiang could only choose to shut up.

Until the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors.

Zou Wang looked at the people in front of him and said: "The new law of the imperial court has been decided, then let's not be stunned, it's time to get busy, first sell the rice in the warehouse, exchange it for some salt, or transport it to the surrounding mansions to sell, these Zou can't take care of it, but before the autumn rice comes down, our rice warehouse in Xishan should be at least seventy percent empty, can you know?" ”

Jiangnan does not eat wheat, but in fact, during the Song and Ming dynasties, the main cultivation mode in Jiangnan is summer wheat and autumn rice, which is a double cropping system for rice and wheat, and the most fundamental reason why this cultivation is that rice can not survive the winter, if you do not plant wheat, the land will be idle for a period of time, and the multiple planting of wheat and rice can give full play to the potential of the land.

"Please rest assured, don't get along with anyone, don't get along with silver."

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and only Zou Wangzheng sat precariously and said, "It's not for the silver, it's for the king's affairs." ”

The people who were originally laughing also became serious, and said in unison: "I'll understand." ”

What Zou Wang said was a money-making business, so these businessmen naturally didn't have a second word, and after eating wine, they scattered back to their hometowns to transport rice.

——

That is, when the merchants of Xishan gathered in Heming Tower, in the garrison hall where He Qian had just left, a group of eunuchs also gathered.

The sound of abacus beads plucking comes and goes.

McFuk frowned and said impatiently: "In the future, I will stop it, don't put anyone in it, if there is a delay on the road to He Qian for a while, won't this be the one who will break in?" ”

"Yes, my son understands."

McFuy raised his head and looked at the people in front of him and asked, "What is the estimated situation in Xishan?" ”

"Father-in-law, there is not much difference from the previous times, there should be no problem."

The so-called whipping method means that the imperial court calculates all the conscription and taxes borne by each county at a discount, and then lists a general ledger, and the imperial court only collects cash.

In this way, the imperial court could bypass the "village sages" such as the grain chief and the lieutenant chief, and then collect taxes directly from the people.

Regarding the disadvantages of the whipping method, in fact, Mai Fu and Jiajing already have a conjecture.

It's just that it hasn't been confirmed for some reason.

That is, during the autumn and summer harvests, because all the peasant households are selling grain, so that the price of grain will fall accordingly, and some people will definitely take advantage of the autumn harvest to sell wheat and rice at a high price, and after the autumn harvest, collect grain at a low price to replenish their stocks, so as to make a profit, this is inevitable.

The question between Mai Fu and Jiajing is whether this fluctuation in grain prices can be borne by the imperial court.

According to the past few trial trials, after the whipping law was implemented, it was nothing more than a drop in grain prices by half a percent, and even the people who sold grain did not care much.

After all, if you really go to serve in the conscription, it's not just a loss.

After McFuk pondered for a long time, he got up and instructed the people in front of him: "The emperor has assigned a new errand to Dongchang to inspect the food and goods in Nanjing, and report it every month. ”

"Today, our family has the right to add a difference to you, record all the grain prices of Nanzhili this year until the autumn grain harvest in Xishan, and report it to the monarch together, are you willing?"

McFuy himself spoke, who dared to say a word.

This is also the reason why McFuy and Zou Wang temporarily kept their distance.

Because only one county or government has tried the whipping method, when the price of grain in the pilot counties is low, these merchants will immediately resell the grain to other counties, thus affecting the results of the pilot.

When the whip law is implemented, there will be depressions everywhere, and the fluctuation range of grain prices will definitely be completely different from that of only one or two counties.

McFuck needed to know how much of an impact it would have on the whipping if he allowed the merchants to pursue profit.
