The clerks in the county government are well-informed, and some of the officials have been doing official work in this Gyeonggi since the Mongols were in the country. It has been 276 years since www.biquge.info the time of Taizu to the present Ming Dynasty.

In the past few hundred years, there have been a lot of things in the county government. There are bizarre, unbelievable, and even more terrifying. The rain of swords and blood, war and plague have never been less.

However, there has never been such an incident that shocked and sighed the officials of the county government.

"There are really people who are so active in paying taxes...... "Xu Wenxiang, the secretary of the new house, rushed over in shock.

On the other side, Zhang Lihuan, the main bookkeeper, also praised again and again: "It's really a righteous people!" ”

"Master Zhang. We wait for the people to pay their taxes, and this time it does seem a little unusual. However, it is said that the sky is broken, but in fact, it is just a peach and a reward. This time, since the Holy God ascended the throne, my Ming Dynasty has changed. In the past, it was natural to pay the imperial grain, and I never thought that it would be beneficial to pay the imperial grain. But since the Holy Lord's registration, schools have been built, roads have been built, and borders have been defended. Everywhere you can see the reason for this Jiaohuang grain. In this way, we are naturally willing to hand over the imperial grain. This time it is even more of a great kindness, and the tax is paid with treasure money. How can I sit still? Sheng Fu said in one sentence, sonorous and powerful, and immediately caused countless voices of admiration.

Seeing this, Wu Yingke immediately smiled and said: "It is said that there is already a Lugouqiao Town Office in charge of local taxation at present. But Mr. Sheng is so gracious, this is my model for paying taxes according to law. In this way, I, Wu Yingke, made an exception and personally handled the tax payment certificate for Mr. Sheng! As he spoke, he lost a look and gave the master book Zhang Lihuan. ”

Zhang Lihuan immediately ran back to the county office to get the county order.

Subsequently, Wu Yingke wrote with a pen: "In accordance with the No. 1 order of the Ming Cabinet Qingzhang Tianmu Government, a total of 72 acres of land in Shengjiazhuang Shengfu, Lugouqiao Town, Wanping County, Shuntianfu, Beizhili Province, collected a total of 63 catties of grain, and depreciated treasure banknotes, a total of 137 yuan!" ”

Sheng Fu untied the big bag, took out a handful of treasure money from it, counted it, and found that there were a total of one hundred and fifty yuan.

Seeing this, Sheng Fu said unusually arrogantly: "In this way, I will pay one hundred and fifty times." What is extra should be regarded as a donation for the country! ”

"Good!" Wu Yingke stamped the tax payment certificate and handed it to Sheng Fu in person: "In this way, Mr. Sheng, your autumn tax will be paid completely!" After that, if there is any more disturbance, you can only come to this officer! ”

"Thank you, old parents!" Sheng Fu said, and then carried the remaining half of the bag of treasure money and turned sideways.

Sheng Fu didn't leave.

When the rest of the people saw this, they were boiling.

"You can really pay taxes with treasure money!"

"This is really benevolent, benevolent!"

"When this trick comes out, the barbarian county government will be boiling......"

"Besides, the whole country is going to boil!"

……

Sure enough, Sheng Fu's side quietly gathered countless gentry. They all came with real money to exchange for treasure money. No other...... Like Xu Wenxiang, the county yahufang, there are many people who take the treasure money to wipe their buttocks.

But in any case, it doesn't cost a few silver to pay taxes with treasure money.

If this can be used to eliminate the disaster, who would spare that little copper?

In front of the county yamen, it suddenly became popular.

Xu Huanwu squinted and watched, and found that many family members of county officials had also quietly set up stalls at the entrance of the county government, and they were exchanging treasure money.

"County Honor...... At present, there are three classes and six rooms, all of which are clamoring to go to the countryside to collect taxes! The whole county is excited! Zhang Lihuan clenched his fists, full of energy. Just now, he had already sold all the 1,300 old-style treasure notes he had in his hand, and he sold twenty taels! That's it, and there is a new treasure banknote of 100 yuan that has not been bought. He knew that this was the existence that could exchange silver dollars from the bank.

Just now, Xu Huanwu, the governor of the Imperial Central Bank, explained to the officials in the county office.

At present, Wanping County will open branches in the county seat and each office. The establishment of these institutions is also very simple, that is, the exchange of treasure money for silver dollars. Of course, the main big head is to accept all kinds of things in exchange for treasure money.

And there is a certain difference in this.

If you pay the tax directly with the old-fashioned treasure banknotes, the depreciation rate will be very high. However, if you exchange the new treasure money in advance and pay the tax, you will find that it is obviously more economical to use the same treasure money to exchange it for the new treasure banknote first.

"No wonder...... There was a commotion in the county office. I want to go to the countryside to collect taxes......" Wu Yingke laughed, and immediately understood the key.

After all, the Ming treasure banknote is a hundred years of bad reputation, and in addition to this shengfu that caused a sensation, how many people can really accept the treasure banknote has to put a question mark.

When the time comes, there may be nothing to do with these institutions run by the central bank.

At present, although it is possible to exchange the new treasure money for silver dollars, everyone understands that the exchange is the most disadvantaged at this time. Only when the gentry paid the tax suddenly found that there was no treasure money to pay, and they had to exchange it, so that the treasure money on the market could be worth again.

"In this way, the official himself began to arrange this plan to go to the countryside to collect taxes!" Wu Yingke said loudly.

In the county office, in addition to Xu Wenxiang, the secretary of the household office with a complicated expression, whether it is the county Cheng Fan Congfan, the chief bookkeeper Zhang Lihuan, the police director Lin Peng, or the officials up and down shouted.

"The county is wise!"

"The county is wise!"

"The county is wise!"

……

On the side, Xu Huanwu watched quietly and sighed: "This Da Ming, it's really going to change the world......

……

On December 19, the city of Tianjin suddenly fell into depression, and the streets were deserted and sparsely populated. Even if there are a few people walking on the street occasionally, they are in a hurry.

A mutiny broke out, and Tianjin became a besieged city.

With the exception of the fleet, which required a large number of soldiers to enter the city every time, the city was cut off from the outside world. And all the people of the city are doing their best to be in their own houses. Only when the government opens warehouses to sell grain will it rush out in a swarm and snap up the little cheap grain.

Such a move has given some people in the city a sense of security.

Compared with the chaos in the city every time the Qing army pressed the border in the past, the current Tianjin city is much different. The police officers from the county government patrolled every day, and after borrowing the heads of thirty-seven ruffians under the pressure of the patrolmen's powerful bullets, the sudden wind of robbery was suppressed in an instant.

Such a December made Sheng Yinian quite emotional: "If the government had such a ability in previous years, I am afraid that my uncle would not have been beaten to death because of a cake on the street......

Sheng Yinian stood on the second floor of his warehouse and pushed the window open halfway.

In these days, there were very few high-rise buildings, and the second floor could be viewed from the railing, past the countless bungalows in the city, and the eyes fell on the city walls.

Sheng Yinian knew that outside the city walls was another world.

There are countless rebels there, enveloping the people who have destroyed their homes in the looting, and the rebels of the Tianjin Sanwei have been surrounded by the Tianjin Guards. The people in the city are panicked, and no one knows what the future outcome will be, and whether they will be able to survive this year smoothly......

Of course, not everyone is ignorant.

For example, Sheng Yinian, he couldn't help but recall those voices in his heart, and his heart was cold: "These people ...... It's really ruthless. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are just being toyed with in the palm of your hand......"

It's just that when he thought that the nephew he sent back to Wanping County to cook was also in prison at this moment, Sheng Yinian suddenly felt awe-inspiring.

He's got into the game with both feet, and he can't get out of it anymore.

At this time, another person came from outside, saw Sheng Yinian, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've seen you here! Sheng Dongjia, there are all adults looking for you with important things! It was Hou Qing who spoke. Compared with the high-spirited enrollment stream in Beijing back then, Hou Qing is now much thinner and more downtrodden, so that now he can only be an errand worker. At this moment, he was wearing a half-new cotton jacket, pulling Sheng Yinian, looking very eager.

"Something important?" Sheng Yinian's heart sank.

Hou Qing saw Sheng Yi's expression, he immediately laughed, and wanted to step forward and pat his shoulder, but when he thought that this wealthy businessman was no longer a person he could joke about at will, he suddenly restrained his expression, and said with a smile: "So that the Sheng Dong family knows, this time, it's not a bad thing!" Gao Lao has returned from the Beijing Division, and Mr. Shi Zhai and Shi Xianzhi have already written to His Majesty, and their faces are very powerful, and it is said that the Holy Lord stopped the Lu rice of the Zong Domain. This time...... That's the good news! ”

As soon as he heard this, Sheng Yinian suddenly showed a lot of smiles on his face; "Forced the Holy Lord to stop the Lu Mi of the Sect? This time, it seems that our methods are very useful! This time, it seems that Tianjin will soon be able to regain its prosperity! ”

Such a restoration, of course, can only be achieved by the victory of their people.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yinian suddenly smiled.

Without much nonsense, the two walked through the streets and alleys, and finally met the big people they hadn't seen for a long time in a secret and quiet courtyard.

The outside of this courtyard is quite ordinary, but once you enter the house, you can see a magnificent scene everywhere. It's freezing and snowy outside, but inside the house is hot with fire dragons. Unlike the scene of freezing and starvation everywhere in the besieged city, at this moment, countless servants and children entered the house with one after another excellent wine and food.

Seeing the table full of good wine and food, Hou Qing quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He hurriedly threw away those thoughts in his heart, brought Sheng Yinian into the house, and then retreated, sat down in the outer flower hall, and watched the slowly falling winter snow in a daze.

"Sheng Dong's family is also here." Wang Zhuoru greeted.

Gao Eryan and Liang Qingbiao greeted each other, and everyone sat down one after another. Inside the house, there were several men in military uniforms. These are all people who are inextricably linked to those military households outside the city.

Because, they are the officers of Tianjin Sanwei.

In fact, several people in the house haven't been back for a long time.

Liang Qingbiao connected the mutiny this time, and Gao Eryan also ran around Gyeonggi.

Originally, Gao Eryan was actually not a very powerful figure in the Beijing Division. But this time, together with the mutiny in Tianjin, it suddenly became a big man taken seriously by all parties. More importantly, almost all the gentry made it convenient when they learned that Gao Eryan was trying his best to oppose the Tianfu reform.

Eventually, when Gao Eryan left Jingshi, the news of Liu Zongzhou's public opposition to Tianfu's reform in the palace also came out. As for the matter of the reform of the clan and the fall in Gao Eryan's heart, it was another understanding.

Obviously, this is the result of Shi Kefa's battle with the Zodiac Zhou.

In order to deal with the two ministers with great reputations among the scholars, His Majesty the Emperor could only choose to use the reform of the clan as a shield.

Gao Eryan had just returned to Tianjin, and he couldn't wait to call his friends and greeted him one after another: "Today, the old man is happy!" Rejoice! For the first time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu put his heart in front of the old man. Cabinet scholars and old men tried their best to make it easier. Even the world-famous Huang Sage is full of praise for the old man. Haha, this time Tian Fu's preferential treatment has passed, and the old man is in Beijing, hahaha......"

For the rest of the words, Gao Eryan did not say more.

But for the people who are human spirits, where do they not understand the pride of Gao Eryan.

Seeing the brilliant results of Gao Eryan's Jingshi, everyone was amazed.

"Gao Lao is really not old!" Sheng Yinian looked at the words of the six cabinet bosses in Gao Eryan's mouth in amazement, and only felt a shock.

"This success depends on the old man's strategy!" Wang Zhuoru smiled faintly, which was also quite praised.

"Being able to get the respect of the cabinet shows that Elder Gao has been respected by the Shilin people. When this matter is over, there will definitely be a noble position to wait! "Liang Qingbiao, as Hanlin, naturally understands the power of Gao Eryan this time, and he is the most respected.

Gao Eryan was polite a few times at first, and when Liang Qingbiao also admired, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "This is just the first to speak for the gentry of the world." I'm in Beijing this time, and it's like a divine help. Everywhere, whoever saw me, the pioneer who opposed Tian Fu, admired it. At present, Huangshizhai and Shi Xian have already moved. forced to even lose the rice of the clan, and this matter of Tian Fu is exempted, and he will be able to come back soon! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Sheng Yinian smiled: "This time, there is nothing to be done over there." When the time comes, in order to quell the rebellion, it will be necessary to re-extend the gentry! ”

"Congratulations to Elder Gao!" The officers of the guard station stood up one after another to congratulate.

Gao Eryan naturally had his subordinates one after another, and laughed heartily: "When I was still on the road, I sent someone back first." I know that this Tianjin city is surrounded by rebellious soldiers, which is a little inconvenient. So he arranged a feast in advance. Today, good wine and good meat are served, drink happily, and don't get drunk and don't return! ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

……

Hou Qing listened to the bustle in the house, but there was a sadness in his heart. The last time the Jingshi Guang Commentary was secretly printed, but it was stolen, and even Hou Qing was locked up for a few days before he was fished out. In the end, he could only come to Tianjin to run errands for Liang Qingbiao and others. This time everyone was invited to the banquet, but he didn't even have a seat.

Sitting on the soft chair outside, Hou Qing sighed heavily. When he saw Hou Qing, he immediately strode over, and even tripped on the road, and still rolled and climbed in a hurry.

"Oh no! Something is wrong! Our previous efforts are all in vain! (To be continued.) )
