Jia Huan's residence, Sanssouci Hall, called North Park in Jiafu, was originally the ancestral residence of Ruyang Houfu, covering an area of about 1.5 Rongguo Mansion, located in Rongguo Mansion North Street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter several generations of repairs by the Zhao family, the houses, courtyards, and gardens in the house are exquisite, elegant, and the scenery is pleasant.

After Jia Huan slightly modified the courtyard in the middle, he took Baochai and the maids from Mochizuki Ju to Sanssouci Hall in mid-June. The backyard of the North Park is connected to the Grand View Garden. It is convenient for Baochai and others to come and go.

According to the building rules in the capital, only the doors of the powerful can be opened to the street. And Jia Huan is only a six-rank official, of course he can't use the gate of the Marquis of Ruyang's mansion, and he has to go through the corner gate when he enters and exits. And the corner gate that Jia Huan often walks is the corner gate not far from the north street of Rongguofu and the main gate of Mochizukiju.

The front yard of the North Park actually refers to the place where you enter through the south corner gate of the house. It was raining, Jia Huan came from the corridor, and as soon as he entered Xiaoxuan's door, he saw Liu Guoshan drinking tea and chatting with He Yi.

"Brother Chao has always been rare, how are you doing recently?" Jia Huan smiled and arched his hand, and sat down to talk with He Yi, who gradually separated the guest and host.

At the end of last year, the prince rebelled, and he gradually studied like a prince of the country because of the merits of He scholars, and then participated in the Ministry of Rites examination in February this year as a tribute student, ranking last in the second class. He is currently the director of the Ministry of Works.

This is the imperial court rewarding merit. Even the most eventful speech officials did not make a fuss about this matter.

He was very dissatisfied with Jia Huan's trip to He Mansion to lobby his father. However, the matter was done, and Scholar He was trusted by the Son of Heaven because of this, and the dissatisfaction in his heart naturally disappeared. Of course, his relationship with Jia Huan is not very close. Zai Fu Gongzi has his own social circle and people who flatter him.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Liu Guoshan excused himself to leave first.

He gradually smiled, put down the teacup, and praised: "Ziyu, you are really amazing this time." You have published all the pieces that are not good for Pravda, but against the officer. My father said you were alert and smart. ”

When Jia Huan decided to publish the impeachment of Pravda, he did not communicate with Scholar Ho.

For technical reasons, Pravda is a daily newspaper, and the editorial task is very tight, and it is indeed a bit difficult to communicate with Scholar Ho in the slow rhythm of the ancient society, which often times the hour. Of course, just a little.

The real reason is actually that Jia Huan judged the "general trend" - the Son of Heaven was slacking off in government. He believes that He can make the right response. As it turned out, it turned out to be. "Cooperation" is very tacit.

The feelings of God teammates and pig teammates must be understood by anyone who has played a strategy game.

Jia Huan smiled, "Brother Chao, Pravda is the newspaper of the imperial court, and I am just doing my part." The result of the punishment of the Son of Heaven in Wuying Palace, in the final analysis, is still He Xiangjian in the emperor's heart. ”

Speaking of this, he remembered that when he was in class in King Wu's Mansion yesterday afternoon, Ning Cheng said that his sister Yongqing County Lord had a dark face when she knew the result. This made Jia Huanwan smile. Are his jokes so easy to watch?

He gradually laughed, he was very useful to Jia Huan's words, and when he saw that the atmosphere was good, he explained his intentions and said, "Ziyu, I guess you have heard about it." Yesterday, after the Wuying Palace, when my father and his ministers played the right game, he mentioned that he wanted to restore a whip law of the previous Ming Dynasty. What do you think? ”

As he spoke, he gradually stared at Jia Huan with blazing eyes. He came to see Jia Huan on his father's orders. At this time, Pravda needs the support of a biased public opinion.

Jia Huan pondered slightly, and said, "I support He Xiang's proposal." ”

In his time and space, at about the same point in time, the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty corrected the corrupt political and financial situation of the Kangxi Dynasty (what is the situation of the so-called prosperous Kangqian era, the history is clear!). Engaging in "paving into acres" is actually a whip method to restore Zhang Juzheng.

Since ancient times, the state collects taxes, and the common people pay taxes. It's a matter of course. After all, people have laid down the country, and there must be no hope? There are three types of taxes paid by the common people: field tax, poll tax, and forced labor.

The taxes collected are all kinds of things. It is not conducive to preservation and use. Moreover, in the process of collecting taxes, officials have a variety of tricks. For example, the more famous one is that when harvesting grain, he kicked the Hu containing the grain and let the people load it again. Such cases of tax collection have been recorded in many history books.

The so-called whip law, to put it in layman's terms, is to change the tax in kind to a monetary tax.

This is the inevitability of economic development. Any dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, was in short supply of currency and goods. For example, food is the top priority. Taxes in kind are all the rage. After the economy developed to a certain extent, the population multiplied, and the exchange of goods became more and more common in social life. At this time, various supplies can be purchased through currency.

Collecting a monetary tax became an inevitable option. In addition to saving the cost of tax collection, it is convenient for the imperial court to dispatch. To a certain extent, it has also unleashed the social productive forces and eased and lubricated the contradictions in all social strata.

If you find it difficult to understand, you can refer to the tax changes in our dynasty on your own.

Of course, a whip, it has its downsides. Zhang Juzheng's reform was to enhance the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Not for the officials to rebel. Therefore, there is a hole in the collection of taxes: fire consumption.

Because of the monetary tax, the officials could not blatantly oppress the people. If you say that you will receive five pieces of silver, can you still say that the money you pay is not silver? However, silver is lost in the process of smelting: fire consumption.

But man's greed is unlimited. How many points the fire consumes depends on the mood of the local officials. If no one is watching, setting a rule is almost equivalent to a bad law.

In addition, local officials continued to levy conscription after collecting the monetary tax. This is called an additional assignment. It's almost unavoidable.

Moreover, the disadvantage of the monetary tax is that the state can increase it indefinitely without credit, and eat food for profit. For example, the Liao salary during the Chongzhen period. The discipline of the emperor and his ministers is often not to be trusted.

Jia Huan's understanding of a whip method is not so profound. But as one of the core contents of Zhang Juzheng's reform, of course he knows. Zhang Juzheng's reform brought the last glory to the Ming Dynasty and continued the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty for decades. How did he not know about such a positive evaluation? Anyone who has studied history textbooks knows it.

The only phase of the Ming Dynasty!

Compared with the current situation of the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court was at its peak, and the guests from all over the world were served. However, the treasury was empty. And from his own situation: the elite are not short of silver. It is very much in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and Tianbao. The same son of heaven is sluggish.

Therefore, Jia Huan did not hesitate to choose support. What made him decide was his belief in the character of the scholar.

Jia Huan agreed very simply, why did he gradually come, he prepared a belly of rhetoric on the road. If Jia Huan resolutely refused, he planned to talk about the issue of the imperial court's faction. His father is focusing on cultivating Jia Huan!

However, at this time, it was completely useless.

He was gradually stunned, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Ziyu, happy. I'll replace the wine with tea, and I'll toast you. ”

Jia Huan smiled and raised his teacup. He gradually let him see his intentions. It's a pity that Scholar Ho is a bit of a pity. Tiger father and dog!

Political struggle, of course, must talk about factions. And yet? After the fight, after mastering the power of the state, you have to work! For example: Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng. And like Yan Song and Donglin Party, they belong to those who occupy the pit position but do not work. Troubled the country, and its reputation is infamous.

An official, in addition to factions and power struggles, also has to work! It's my job. Scolding people: Being an official is not the master of the people, why don't you go home and sell sweet potatoes, isn't it fun? In his position, he must seek his government!

And this He Yamen obviously does not have this awareness. Well, he is obviously not going far in officialdom.

…

…

Jia Huan sent him away, pondered for a while, and instructed Qian Huai, who was waiting beside him, "You take my post to Pravda and invite Pang Shiyuan, Luo Junzi, and Qiao Youruo to come to the house for dinner and wine at night." ”

"Come on, Third Master." Qian Huai took the words and took people out to run errands. Jia Huan's long-term entourage, after last year's Jiafu Rebellion, only Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi remained.

Jia Huan was in the corridor on the side of the courtyard, looking at the rain. At this time, a small servant in Jia's mansion came to invite, "Third master, the wife came back from visiting Concubine Yuan Niangniang from the palace, please go to the old lady to meet you." ”
