In the Shexian Levy and Delivery Depot, when the grain chiefs of the fifteenth district gathered together again and began to collect grain in their respective houses, it was different from the last time when the door was full of birds, and the chief took the villagers with a total of two or three puppies and kittens. Every big grain chief brought enough helpers, and there was a long queue in front of every room, and the abacus inside was loud. Even the grain chief who used to weigh the scales of wheat when harvesting grain, or the pole that weighed silver, now he can't care about filling his own pockets at all.

If Huizhou Mansion is really sent white grain, the first unlucky ones will be their grain chiefs! Because when the time comes, they will be the ones who will be responsible for sending the white grain to the capital from the north!

And the mayor and the villagers also did not dare to be careless about this year's summer tax. When several acquaintances lined up to pay the summer tax, they were still whispering in twos and threes. Speaking of the rumors that came out in some places before, they must carry it to the end, forcing Ye Xianzun to do the matter of Junping Xia's tax silk, they couldn't help but sigh.

"If this continues to be hard topped, in addition to a few pennies of silver, it will have to be apportioned to everyone's head, and those white grains will have to be added! In the past, when the white grain was sent to the county, not only did it ask for good rice selected from the grains, but if it was not handed over, not only would the grain be urged, but all the three classes of officials would go to the countryside to urge the department. ”

"Brother, I'm young, I only heard that this white grain is an errand that all the prefectures and counties of Nanzhili are afraid of, but it's not clear what is going on, can you tell us about it?"

"What's going on? I tell you, whether it is Ye Xianzun or those who are officials. Every year, Lu rice is to be distributed. This rice is white grain. There is also the supply of long live grandfathers and ladies in the palace. Of course, the best rice. When I went down to collect white grain, I sifted and sifted again, and I chose and selected, and I couldn't exchange one stone of white grain or four or five stones of ordinary white rice. Moreover, I heard that in the early years of our Ming Dynasty, it was the grain that was transported to the capital by the Long March, but later an official said that the conscription and dispatch of the transporter would cost the people and money. Therefore, it was changed to the grain chief who was responsible for the liberation, and the imperial court subsidized the silver and let the grain chief hire people himself. ”

"Subsidize the silver to hire people? Isn't that good? ”

The old man who was pestered to explain saw that several young villagers all nodded, and the older generation sneered, so he shook his head and said: "You don't know that how much of the subsidy from the top can really fall into the pockets of the people below?" On a canal, there are countless officials who can manage the grain chief, and they are constrained and extorted everywhere. Taxes are collected everywhere, and when the white grain is released. Half of the subsidy fee of the imperial court will be given first, and then half will be given when it arrives, but there is no one in ten who can really reach the grain chief. To transport a stone of white grain to the capital, the various expenses on the road are up to eight stones! Therefore, once the white grain is sent to the family, no matter how big the family's belongings are, most of them will be bankrupt. ”

Everyone is concerned at this moment. This is still the situation of liberation after the conscription, but if the conscription is not complete, God knows if the grain chief who has been cornered will make something happen in the township? Compared with the trouble at that time, it is better to grit your teeth and pay the summer tax first, and avoid this hurdle!

"Hey, who are those people?"

With this exclamation, a group of lieutenants and villagers looked up, only to see that it was not the third class of officials who maintained order in the treasury today, but a team of seven or eight men. Almost all of these people are in their forties, some have scars on their faces, some have inconvenient legs and feet, and some even have empty half-amputated sleeves, but these people who seem to be disabled have an indescribable fierce aura when they walk. While people were speculating, Wu Lichang in Qianqiu coughed heavily. When he saw that the crowd was looking at him, he smiled proudly.

"You don't know, do you? This is the famous Qi family army on the southeast coast at the beginning! I heard that they were ordered by Qi Dashuai to send a letter to Mr. Nanming, because they couldn't go into battle after being disabled, and there was no one in their hometown, so they planned to find a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and An Ansheng lived the rest of his life. As a result, after arriving in our county, I heard the reputation of the county's respect for Qingtian, plus Qi Dashuai and Mr. Nanming of Songming Mountain are familiar with each other, and I have heard that we have the most advocating atmosphere of reading in Huizhou, so I plan to live here. ”

What happened in Songming Mountain before had not spread so quickly throughout the four towns and eight miles, and for a while, these villagers who were waiting to pay the summer tax suddenly became in a commotion. Almost all the villagers here have never left Huizhou, and they have only heard of the Qi family's army, but have never witnessed it, and for a while, except for those who were queuing up to pay food, Qi Liang and others once again enjoyed the treatment of being watched. Although no one dared to come forward to talk, those awe-inspiring eyes were like substance. Seven or eight big men were a little embarrassed at first, but when they heard such praise from good men and real men in the crowd from time to time, they gradually opened their eyebrows and laughed.

In the Jizhen army, the marshal relied on various means to stabilize the army, and the people under his rule did not suffer from the disaster of the Japanese invaders, how could they worship the Qi family army like the people here?

Outside the requisition warehouse, Wang Fulin, who was sitting in the official sedan chair with Ye Junyao again, was fanning the wind with a pu fan. Today is the first day that he said that he moved Qi Liang and pulled half of the people in the Qi family's army to the levy and loss warehouse, and he originally planned to come and see it, but who knew that he was caught by the county and sent to the same sedan chair. Anyway, he hates sitting in a sedan chair the most now, especially on this hot day.

"With the prestige of these Qi family troops, if there is another mess in the levy and loss, this messy conflict can be avoided!"

Seeing Ye Junyao's rather satisfied expression as he spoke, Wang Fulin wiped his sweat, and then further explained: "Today I said that I moved Qi Baihu to send people over, not just to maintain the order of this summer tax collection, but to let everyone know that these Qi family troops are because the county respects the governance of the place in a proper way, and admires the reading atmosphere of Huizhou Mansion, so they stayed, and they will take their wives and children to settle here in the future." ”

Ye Junyao has been a little accustomed to the rise in fame recently, but he still can't help but flutter when he hears this, and he is still a little self-aware, so he immediately asked worriedly: "Does this kind of statement make people feel fake?" ”

"County Zun, although it is true that the six counties of Huizhou are full of books, but after all, there are still a few people who can read and write, and the villagers only look at what is in front of them, how can they think so much? Besides, only those eunuchs are allowed to increase their prestige under the banner of Junping Xia tax silk, and they are not allowed to build momentum in the county, there is no such reason in the world! What's more, it's not just for the sake of the county. Thinking that hundreds of Japanese invaders entered Kou Huizhou back then, swept through Nanzhili, and even broke the official army, Huizhou people felt the same way. Wu Lichang took the lead in agitation, and Qi Baihu and they would soon feel the essence of respect, and they had been away from the southeast for a long time, and this respect could allow them to better integrate into She County. ”

Poor Ye Daxian Zun is not a psychology student, even if he has that kind of idle time, it is too late to understand and ponder the psychology of his boss, where is the time to touch the hearts of the people? Therefore, he only has to listen at this time.

"Although the Qi family army must not say anything about fighting, but being brave and fierce does not necessarily mean that it is of high character. Such some people settled in She County, if they can't put enough shackles on them, then they will turn back out of control, and the unlucky ones are me, who is entrusted by Mr. Nanming, and the lord of the county. Therefore, having enjoyed the respect of the people, I will personally take them into the countryside to appreciate the daily life of the people of Huizhou, so that they can eliminate the barrier of being a foreigner. And under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Qi Baihu would unconsciously make them behave like a hero. ”

Otherwise, how dare he casually use these people who don't know the roots?

Ye Junyao had been completely persuaded by Wang Fulin, but he still asked the last question he was worried about: "But like today, they are really willing to help patrol the levy and lose depots, and they don't give a lot of money?" ”

Of course, Wang Fulin would not say that he still managed Qi Jiguang's 2,000 taels of private money, plus the 1,000 taels of these people's total of 3,000 taels of silver entrusted to financial management. Therefore, at this moment, Wang Fulin only said to Ye Xianzun that these generals are willing to dedicate themselves because of their military achievements and rich wealth. As for whether he figured out this series of moves, let the people recognize these old soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to borrow the name of Qi Jiajun to do his own private affairs, at this juncture when the summer tax is still in the final race, he is not ready to immediately shake it out and say to Ye Xianzun.

Even so, Ye Junyao was still relieved. He took off his black gauze hat and wiped his sweat, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Well, I have always been relieved that you do things. In this case, according to what you said, I asked the Hufang Liu Association to step up its efforts to finalize the regulations for each li, and as soon as this year's summer tax is finished, it will be implemented immediately, so as to save being hindered again and again! ”

Before in the Huizhou Mansion, Nanjing Hubu Xingwen will send white grain according to the tax payment situation in the summer of this year, after this matter was made public, now all the six counties are like frightened rabbits and act urgently, as before in the levy and loss of the depot The scene of fighting is almost extinct, and the Shexian requisition and depot has the famous former Qi family army generals in charge, and the troublemakers dare not come forward. In just a few days, Shexian County's summer tax has received seventy percent, which is simply different from the efficiency of previous years. In the face of such a situation, Wang Fulin couldn't help but smack his tongue at the great effect of Nanjing's household department's sword taking the edge.

Regardless of whether this matter is led by Wang Daokun, or Nanjing Hubu has already had this intention, he only knows that this kind of thing is only once, and it will be impossible to repeat the old trick next time! Therefore, for the Qi family army that came to the door, he had to use it quickly, and there would be no store in this village!

ps: Two thousand nine fourth shift, save money and ask for a monthly pass (to be continued...... to be continued)

ps: P.S. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, more than 100 Japanese robbers have been breaking into Nanzhili, hitting Huizhou, and then beating the guards around the country to a pulp, except for the militia groups organized by merchants in a few places, most of the army is about to collapse at the touch of a button, more than ten dead and wounded officials, countless dead and injured people, the county seat of She County was also built after this, and it was the same city of the prefecture and county in the past. By the way, there are no more Japanese robbers after Longqing opens the sea
