Chapter 12 Unblended
Zhang De does not intend to mix the matter of "tax resistance", and the main force of tax payment here in Wuhan has already deviated greatly, which is very different from Huaiyang and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The largest composition of Wuhan's permanent population has never been the local population of Wuhan, but "migrant workers".
The chain of contempt in the whole city is probably Hanyang people-Jiangxia people-Wuhan people-new Wuhan people-new Wuhan people......
It's also a rather strange pyramid structure, but the top and bottom of the pyramid are not much different. Those who really have the right to speak are often the "emerging aristocracy", of course, if you insist on saying "aristocracy", it is still a lot worse.
Even if it is a powerful "cold family" in some areas, among the family members of these "cold families", there are often low-level bureaucrats and officials, and there are also members who preside over the "economy", so although they do not have a title, their influence is not necessarily much worse than that of the county magistrate.
Lao Zhang's most emotional point about this is that he is becoming more and more "reactionary", but he is not as "reactionary" as Brother Luoyang, nor is he as "reactionary" as Wushi Qiwang and Li Dong.
Every time a small propertied person or slave worker is added, it adds a little more "gold content" to his degree of "reaction".
"Fang Xiang, this is going to Yuzhang, I wish Fang Xiang 'benefit in the present generation, merit in the future'."
Hanyang Wharf, Zhang De picked up the farewell wine, drank a full wine, Fang Xuanling went to Poyang Lake, in addition to seeking benefits, but also seeking fame.
The power struggle in the center, he no longer thinks about it, unless there is a change of emperor, according to Li Shimin's temperament, he will not give them any chance.
The traces of the complete "dismissal" have become more and more obvious, at this time, although the protégés and former officials are eager to fight with the emperor in exchange for benefits, but the "Fang Mou Du Xuan" and the like are very clear that they can fight with Li Yuan and Yang Guang, and Dudu and Li Shimin cannot win.
The difference in strength is too great.
The officials who are attached to Li Shimin to eat are the peak of the four hundred years since the end of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the wealth, the cash in Li Shimin's hand is enough for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight the Xiongnu more than ten times.
In the face of absolute strength, fight a fart heart.
"The old man is just doing his best."
With a sigh, Fang Xuanling's expression was a little complicated, but he still said, ", Erlang is a muddy person, even if he is a little clever, he has no wisdom." The old man is afraid that there will be a day when there is a 'day without a holiday', and if there is a day, I hope to see it in ......"
"Fang Xiang, the virtue is well known, and the Fang Xiang is relieved."
"Thank you, meet differently, stay."
"Take care of your family."
Fang Xuanling boarded the official ship and waved goodbye, and after a while, the official ship went straight to Jiangzhou downstream.
When he went to Nanchang, Fang Xuanling was not disheartened, but wanted to seek a career in a different way. Governing mountains, water, and people, three things are done well, and it is enough to leave a reputation on the shore of Pengli Lake.
Seeing Fang Xuanling's official ship leave, only a staff member asked in a low voice: "Envoy, Fang Xiang is going to Nanchang here, don't you have a chance to return to the center?" ”
"When he came to Jiangxi, in fact, the three provinces already existed in name only."
Zhang Deyan said to the staff, "Don't pay attention to this, such a big thing, slow talk, has nothing to do with the old man." You still have to cultivate your business well, and think about going out to be a master in the future. ”
"Yes...... Promise Jun Jiyan. ”
Talking to the staff, Lao Zhang has always been straight to his heart, why did he come to be a staff? Isn't it just to be an official? In the past, as a staff member, it might be good to mix with a small official, but with the increase in counties and cities, the increase in departments, and the increasing number of official positions, it is becoming more and more complicated, and ordinary officials naturally cannot satisfy their appetite.
Nowadays, the most sought-after business in Wuhan is to enter the imperial court system through this channel in Wuhan, and then go to other places to mix with a nine-grade sesame official through the selection of officials.
As long as the operation is done properly, even if you go to Jianzhou to seek the return to the river and reform for the imperial court, with the backing of the "Wuhan Department", the performance will be able to come out in two or three years.
Even if you don't work as a staff member or a clerk in Wuhan, you can study directly, and pass the imperial examination with "arithmetic", which is almost nine out of ten.
And the big cities in the country are now extremely lacking in talents like Ding Crab, even if the more greedy county magistrate, he also needs to be able to make fake accounts and deceive the court auditors.
Traditional false accounts can hardly be concealed from the Du Zhilang sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the occasional deposed ambassador, but now they mainly take the name of bureaucrats, which is "corruption."
Hongwenge was ordered this year to set up a supervision department other than the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and it can be said that many veteran bureaucrats will not have a good time in the future.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are both sure that most of the official hats that the emperor will buy in the future will be taken from these veteran bureaucrats.
And the county orders in one place, the middle county and the upper county, except for Wuhan, most of them have obvious local family backgrounds. Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Li Dong has already "eaten the marrow" of this road, and even the Boling Cui clan was dried down, and even the Yulin Army should not be moved at all, and the "police guard" can do it by sending a team of people at will.
"Uncle Shi, Mr. wrote that now there are people in Chuzhou who are 'resisting taxes', and there seem to be people in Yangzhou who are ready to respond. This matter is making a big fuss, will it involve Wuhan? ”
"What do you think of Jin Hong?"
Zhang De stood with his hands in his hands, turned his head and asked Shangguan Tingzhi.
"Huaiyang and Wuhan are both romantic cities, and I am afraid that there will be people who respond to the trouble."
Lao Zhang smiled and was noncommittal. In an era when the means of communication were extremely low, the so-called "response" was either a time difference of more than a month, or it was limited to within 500 miles. As long as it exceeds this range, without exception, it has been agreed a long time ago.
In order to "resist taxes", the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Luoyang, not that he wanted to preside over the overall situation, without the emperor's order, he couldn't even preside over a big chrysanthemum. But the scope of the eldest grandson's property is huge, and he went back this time, mainly to rectify the family business, and by the way, to see the excitement.
Of course, the emperor is not wrong, so the matter is so big, someone has to carry the black pot, Qian Gu, this cool official, at this time is the critical juncture of life and death.
It is difficult to say whether the emperor used his head to calm the "anger of the people" or find another "scapegoat".
This time, the "anti-tax" eldest grandson Wuji and Zhang De both had the attitude of onlookers, and there was another reason, that is, they were not sure if the emperor was repeating his old tricks, and deliberately dug a pit to make people jump out.
If this is the case, I am afraid that it will not come again to "lure the snake out of the hole", but whoever joins in the excitement and secretly works hard may have to face the situation of being blackmailed by Emperor Li afterwards.
"Where does Wuhan come from to compare Huaiyang's land-sitting households?"
As soon as Zhang De's words came out, Shangguan Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, and Li Yuanxiang, the king of Jiang, was even more excited, he had been in Wuhan for so long, and they had not shown their "talent".
But there is one thing, but all those who are of noble birth in the attendees, without exception, are outsiders. The family's foundation is rarely purchased in Wuhan.
Most of the "locals" in Wuhan are not even "poor", they are just "soil buns" who have suddenly become rich in ten years.
Just as Li Dong cleaned Luoyang and Lao Zhang came to Wuhan, it was never warm and drizzly.
After pondering and understanding, Shangguan Tingzhi arched his hand at Zhang De: "Tingzhi is suddenly open, thank you for your teachings." ”
