Chapter 003: Huizhou Heterogeneous (II)

Liang Xianzun was really a little frightened. Like many people who have first met high pragmatism, they can accept the term "prodigy" of high pragmatism, after all, the prodigies of the Ming Dynasty are endless, and it is a rare thing that there will be no prodigies in the future.

However, these prodigies are all "gods" who are quick in thinking and good at learning, but they have never seen such a high pragmatism, not only good in learning, but also able to understand people's hearts.

Insight into people's hearts, shouldn't that be the ability of the old foxes?

Obviously, these people don't know that in the later Republic of China period, there was a master called Li Zongwu, who made a science, which was called Houhei Studies, and Gao Pragmatic crossed the antecedents to mix with the officialdom, so he was naturally one of the meticulous researchers of this knowledge.

Thinking that thick black learning is the essence of feudal officialdom, Gao Pragmatic takes this learning as his sect, how can these flies and dogs in the Ming officialdom escape his eyes?

In his opinion, Yang Jiaoyu's hand is not only slippery, but also very measured. Because if the five counties threaten to make trouble together, then they will be complicit in rebellion, it will inevitably be too much, and if one is not good, it will cause the disgust of the Duan prefect, if this person is a stubborn temper, maybe give them a fish to break the net, and see if it is my prefect who is powerful, or you county officials are capable.

However, now that the remaining four counties are silent, and only the smallest Jixi County is in front to speak, it will be different. Jixi is a real lower county, the place is also small, and the population is small, no matter how much trouble you make, it will definitely not rise to the point of rebellion. However, when they made such a fuss, they not only tactfully and implicitly conveyed the threat, but also left enough face for the prefect to turn around in the future.

It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, but in fact, this is also a theory of relativity, if the people make too much trouble, the officials are also afraid of the people. So most of the time, the two sides maintain a tacit balance of power, and no one will cross that bottom line.

Therefore, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been thinking of governing the government, focusing on maintaining stability and not having an accident as their political achievement, and as for being unreasonable, it is a secondary issue.

And the people below also understand this logic, so when they encounter any disputes, they don't care whether they are reasonable or not, and shout for a while, and make the situation bigger. Because the bigger the situation, the less likely it is to suffer losses, and when the trouble is big, the government often does not blame the people according to the law in order to calm the matter, and distributes it according to the trouble.

Although Liang Xianzun understands these truths now, he only understands them thoroughly under Master Zhang's patient explanation, and Gao Shishi, a little child, is not like Master Zhang who relies on these skills to eat in various county yamen all the year round, how can he see through it at a glance?

So Liang Xianzun was really scared, and there was a little fear in his eyes when he looked at Gao Pragmatic for a while.

However, Gao Pragmatic was not only worried about the boy's test three months later, but also remembered that he went to Anyang, and he really didn't have the heart to delay with Liang Wu here, so he said directly: "That is to say, the Huizhou Mansion was really said by me, and I plan to use a procrastination trick to drag things out?" But if that's the case, then how could Shuai Jiamo become a fugitive? ”

After doing this just now, Liang Wu didn't dare to be as casual as before in the face of Gao Shishi, and hurriedly said: "The problem is that after that Shuai Jiamo found out that there was no follow-up in Huizhou Mansion, he still refused to give up his ......."

So Liang Wu continued to tell Gao Pragmatic about the matter.

It turned out that the party Shuai Jiamo waited left and right, and never waited for the next step of the Huizhou Mansion, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and said in his heart that he had finally come to this point, how could he end up without a problem? Where is the crux of the problem?

In fact, the key here is that handsome people can only do math problems, not political problems; Yang Jiaoyu is the opposite, although he has made many mistakes and omissions in his math problems, he can make full marks in political problems!

Yang Jiaoyu's Shen Wen does not mention the right and wrong of the business, but only talks about whether the official career is too good. And Shuai Jiamo didn't read the wit of Shen Wen, and wishfully believed that the reason why the Huizhou government was unwilling to move forward with this case was that the whole thing was not clear enough - if he lived in the 21st century, he must be an excellent programmer and a professional BUG user.

So the program ape Shuai followed this line of thought, reconsidered it, and actually found that there was indeed a very vague place in the previous submission.

At the beginning of the country, the "summer tax raw silk" that the six counties all lost, is now the "human silk silk" that She County loses, and there is no problem with this. But there is another question: how was the subject of "Summer Tax Raw Silk" changed to "Ren Ding Silk Silk"?

Senior programmer Shuai felt that as long as this key node was figured out, the truth would be forthcoming.

So Shuai Jiamo, who was in high spirits, rolled up his sleeves and threw himself into the vast sea of case documents. He wants to find the key needle in the sea that has accumulated the archives of the six counties for two hundred years.

The investigation lasted for three months. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Shuai Jiamo really found a clue: the mystery comes from the taxation account.

Shuai Jiamo turned out the survey of Huizhou from the household department of the past dynasties - similar to the statement of later generations, and it was very clear that it was written: "Sit and take the silk silk of Huizhou people".

That is to say, the subject to be levied by Huizhou in the Nanjing Carrier Depot is "people and silk", and it is not specified which county is paid separately, and in this case, it should generally be shared equally by default among the six counties.

But Shuai Jiamo went to check the collection documents issued by the Huizhou government to the six counties, but found that the subject of "people and silk" was gone. Only in the tax payment subject of She County, there is an additional "summer tax raw silk".

So, Shuai Jiamo suddenly came to his senses, and the hands and feet in this were already very clear.

When the Huizhou government levied taxes on She County, it used the name of "summer tax raw silk". It just so happened that Shexian County did have a "summer tax raw silk" subject that owed wheat at the beginning of the country, so the local area did not feel different.

However, after this tax came up, when the Huizhou government deported it upwards, it took out the due amount from the "summer tax raw silk" and put it under the "human silk silk".

In this way, the dove of "Ren Ding Silk Silk" occupies the nest of the "Xia Tax Raw Silk" in such a grand manner. The tax burden that was originally shared equally by the six counties unknowingly became carried by She County alone.

The poor people of She County don't know the inside story, and they have worked hard to pay taxes for two hundred years, but they don't know that what they are supporting is actually the burden of the six counties.

Shuai Jiamo knows that the person who does this trick is definitely a master. He is not only familiar with the history of money and grain at the beginning of the country, but also proficient in the process of the case, and skillfully uses the subject of Shexian to make up for Xia Mai, transfer flowers and trees, confuse the public, and play a beautiful trick.

As for the payment of taxes, once a practice is formed, it will be unswervingly enforced, and it is difficult to change. As a result, Shexian handed over nearly two hundred years of "human silk silk" in one go, and he didn't know that he was a father: a cub who had raised others for two hundred years.

Shuai Jiamo's eyes were blazing, this must be a fraud from the Huizhou Mansion officials!

This speculation is not speculation. In the Ming system, local officials rotated frequently, and they sat in a position for a few years and left. And those local affairs, such as money, food, and punishment, were controlled by professional officials. These people are all local natives, with positions passed down from generation to generation, and they have professional skills, and outsiders can't figure it out at all, and there is a lot of room for them to go up and down.

Especially with money and food, it is the hardest hit area, and the officials have all kinds of means to turn things upside down. The skilled officials can even "make the strangers of Lianqian empty, and the family without a cone is full of origin", you say how awesome it is. Huo Youfang, an official during the Jiajing period, once wrote helplessly: "The grain department of each household in each county distributes grain every year and cheats from time to time. It can be seen that there was chaos at the grassroots level at that time.

Therefore, this trick of the dove occupying the magpie's nest must have been done by the handling officials in the account books, so that She County suffered an injustice!

Now that the truth has been revealed, without further ado, Shuai Jiamo quickly wrote another submission, briefly describing his latest research results. He knew that the officials had been in succession from generation to generation, and if they were completely lifted, they would probably offend a large number of people, so he only vaguely mentioned the cause: "I didn't know what the cheating was in the early years."

People, you can not be investigated, after all, it has been almost two hundred years; But if something is wrong, it must be set right.

At the same time, Shuai Jiamo also put forward another important argument: "human silk silk" is obviously a poll tax, which should be collected according to the population. And now that Shexian County is asked to pay alone, is it possible that the other five counties are all empty cities and there is no one?

On September 25, the fourth year of Longqing, Shuai Jiamo officially submitted this submission to the Huizhou government, full of expectations that he could "give a resolution and make detailed corrections".

It should be said that this submission is more convincing than the previous one, and the two new pieces of evidence presented are also very reasonable. But when the report was handed in, there was still no movement. Even, the Huizhou Mansion did not even reply this time, and completely ignored it.

In the end, the program ape is not as good as the official ape to understand the officialdom, and the handsome person does not know the key to this problem, not at all in whether his math problems are accurate or not, but in the black gauze hat worn by more people in Huizhou Mansion from the prefect to the prefect and even more people!

When things got to this point, they probably accepted their fate if they changed to others, but Shuai Jiamo didn't flinch. This upright ape, after realizing that he had no support from both the Huizhou Mansion and the Yingtian Academy, made a startling decision.
