"Ziying is right, I don't know if you understand?" Guan Yingzhen glanced at the many disciples and students present, "In addition to considering the problem itself, we should also consider the problem more broadly, including some matters that may be involved in this situation,......

"There is a good saying, if you take a trigger and move the whole body, then the flood of private salt, in addition to damaging the finances of the imperial court, then what else? Which ones depend on salt for their survival, and will they be affected? What Yuxuan said is also good, but it is not comprehensive enough, not profound enough, Ziying is right, and sees the harm that may be caused by the destruction of the flood of illegal salt, and then the impact on the entire nine-sided defense system,......"

Guan Ying was stunned, "However, the impact of the opening of the Chinese law is not only a matter of private salt, the issues involved are very complicated, and we will have the opportunity to discuss this issue again in the future,......

Feng Ziying chuckled in her heart.

Of course, there are many problems involved in the opening of the Chinese law, not only as simple as being difficult to explain, but also involving too many problems when the emperor was in power, and even the problems of the emperor himself.

Even though Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen can be regarded as the backbone of Wenchen Qingliu, they are not stunned, and they also need to consider the problem according to the situation, and rashly poke some baskets, I am afraid it may not be a good thing for everyone.

……

"Linqing is where the household banknote is located, in addition, it is also a heavy place for water warehouses, the grain of the Beijing Division of the North Transport Division has to be transferred here to a large extent, and this is the canal after all, the throat is passing, a large number of materials in Luzhong are traded here, Linqing commerce has flourished since the Ming Dynasty, and Linqing Gong bricks sell well along the canal,......"

Feng Ziying smacked her lips, this kind of work is really a bit troublesome.

In order to explain the cause and effect of the whole incident as clearly as possible, it is necessary to clarify some of the foreshadowing conditions for why the incident happened at this time.

"......, my little brother will give you a brief introduction to these small people who mainly rely on this waterway to live in Linqing, or I think it is more appropriate to describe it in one word, group, well, this involves multiple groups, such as Linqing Gong bricks to go north and south, brick kiln owners, potters, these are two groups,......"

“…… Don't underestimate this group, many of them are rough men with no long things, and even many people don't have a small family, so in a sense, this group is the most afraid of accidents, which is also a group that the White Lotus Sect focuses on developing and wooing believers,......"

"......, it can be said that the arrival of the tax supervisor has directly touched the interests of almost all groups centered on Linqing City, and the only ones who really profit from it are the tax supervisor and a handful of scoundrels and gentry who are attached to him to extort and extort from it, so that it is like sown a large piece of sparks, maybe many sparks are slowly extinguished, but there are always one or two sparks slowly burning in storage, and once the conditions are right, they may suddenly ignite a fire,......"

Feng Ziying spoke very carefully, this is what Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen have specially asked him for.

Because almost none of the students in the East Garden have much social experience, especially the experience of dealing with classes other than their own, it is difficult for them to understand the survival and interests of other classes and groups, and Feng Ziying needs to describe them in a tone of passers-by and bystanders.

It also helps these students to truly understand and understand why such a popular uprising broke out in the heart of the northern part of the empire.

In the eyes of many people, it is reasonable for this kind of incident to break out in the barren places of Shaanxi and Gansu, or in cities with relatively developed weaving or salt industries such as Suzhou and Yangzhou, but in Shandong, in places like Linqing, it is worth exploring.

"The tax supervisor is so hateful, and the court gains far less from it than such people profit from it, why do they still have to do such a bad policy?" Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer, got up and said: "Are the court cultivators and imperial historians all soft bones afraid of death?" ”

Feng Ziying didn't know this person, only that he was from the Jiashe.

"Xue Wenzhou, the word Daoying, a native of Yan'an Mansion, Shaanxi, has an extremely hard temper,...... Xu Qixun has an excellent memory, and quietly attached his ear to Feng Ziying.

Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen were silent.

The establishment of a tax supervisor is a major move after the emperor ascends the throne, and it is also the most criticized policy of governance, but Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen are not ordinary officials, so they naturally know how much helplessness is hidden behind this.

In fact, the arrears of military salaries on the nine sides began in the 36th year of Yuanxi during the reign of Emperor Taishang.

After the 38th year of Yuanxi, almost every year there was a mutiny among the soldiers, and the main reason was the arrears of military salaries.

In the 40th year of Yuanxi, the town army of Yulin Town mutinied, and even triggered a rebellion, which directly caused the Tatar iron cavalry to almost break through the wall.

Under such circumstances, when the new emperor ascended the throne, almost every town in the nine sides urgently asked for military salaries like the imperial court, but what did the Yonglong Emperor, who was empty, have to make up the military salaries?

Even if the inner library is vacated, it is difficult to support such expenses, so Emperor Yonglong has no choice but to make this decision.

"Brother Daoying, do you know where the cash register of the tax superintendent is supplied?" Seeing that there was quite a bit of anger in the crowd, but Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen did not speak, Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly, and she stood up and said in a manly voice.

"Oh? Teach me. The thin young man's eyes were sharp, and his tone was cold.

"As far as I know, the silver taels obtained by the tax supervisors and mine supervisors set up in various places are all supplied to Jiubian, especially Liaodong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Jizhen Town, but it is still a drop in the bucket and difficult to satisfy, and this is not counting the military salaries owed by other towns such as Datong, Yulin, and Shanxi."

Feng Ziying said lightly: "I'm not saying that the policy of setting up tax supervisors is a good policy, and I don't agree with this method to raise military salaries, but I know that if the four major towns of Liaodong Town, Xuanfu Town, Ji Town, and Datong Town cause soldiers to mutiniin due to military salaries, its danger can be far better than that of the Shandong people's rebellion. ”

"Similarly, Brother Daoying is also from Shaanxi, once there is a mutiny in several towns in Yulin, will the Tatars break through along the Hetao into Shaanxi? What does that bring? ”

Xue Wenzhou was choked by Feng Ziying's words.

Although he did not know about military affairs, he also knew very well that those Tatars were like wolves and tigers, coming and going like the wind, and once they broke through the side wall, they were almost burned and looted, swept away, and the place they passed was a blank land.

For Shaanxi, which is already very barren, it is almost the creation of countless displaced refugees, and for the local government of Shaanxi, it often means that there is a storm of rebellion caused by displaced people.

"Of course, this is by no means a reason to use tax supervision to collect money and solve the problem of arrears, but I think that this arrears of military salaries should be the responsibility of the cabinet elders and the household department.

Feng Ziying's last words calmed down Xue Wenzhou's already somewhat faint expression a little, and the other party did not deny that the establishment of a tax supervisor was a bad strategy, but said that the lesser of two evils was chosen, but this was to quench his thirst.

"Classmate Feng, I'm afraid the harm caused by drinking water to quench your thirst may not be much worse than the arrears." After finishing speaking, Xue Wenzhou sat down, he is not an unreasonable person, if he is strong on such occasions, he will be despised by other students.
