Chapter 31 The Greasy of Summer Tax
Wang Fulin knew that his roundabout interest might be a waste of money, and he might not even see Ye Xianzun at all, but whether people found out or didn't find the mystery of the door bag, they would feel that he was a lucky and a little talented, but he was very out of tune in terms of human sophistication. Without figuring out what the hell is going on, this disdain is very advantageous.
But at this moment, he had put this behind him for the time being. When he arrived at the Ma Family Inn, the first thing he saw was not only Jinbao and Qiu Feng, but also the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and there was actually a pair of completely unexpected master and servants.
That time the bamboo shoot barbecue was not light, but the injury on Cheng Dagongzi's buttocks had already healed?
It's just that when he saw Cheng Naixuan limping up, he immediately knew that this guy was strong. No matter what messy grievances he had before, but at this time, there was still a little touch in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward, but his eyes looked at the shopkeeper on the side: "It seems that I really want to change places next time, and before I arrived, the person who reported the news recruited you, Brother Cheng!" ”
"I couldn't get off the ground last time you left, and this time my father is not at home, why do I have to come to Shuangmu to pick up the wind and wash the dust, right?" said this in his mouth, but it seemed that the movement was too violent and affected the wound, and the muscles on Cheng Dagongzi's face were tangled together. Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was angry and funny, he said unnaturally, "It's because my father was too ruthless last time and made you see a joke." ”
"Don't come out if the injury is not healed, and you, Mo Xiang, don't know how to stop a little, aren't you afraid that Master Cheng will give you a family law when you turn back?"
Mo Xiang had met Wang Fulin a few times before, but he always felt that this Xiao Xiucai, who used to be next to the young master, was getting more and more different. The feeling of staring at his eyes at this moment reminded him of Master Cheng. So, he hurriedly went up and helped his young master, and explained in a helpless whisper: "How can I stop the young master." He didn't know where he heard something, so he insisted on coming in person. ”
"I didn't hear about it anywhere, I overheard it from my father." Cheng Naixuan suddenly lowered his voice very low, and said with a serious face, "Let's go to the room and talk." ”
Half an hour later, when Wang Fulin sent Cheng Naixuan away, he had already positioned this guy as a very reliable bad friend in his heart - not the bad friend who was beaten into a harmful category in the Analects, but the kind of funny and nonsense, but very reliable bad friend at the critical moment. If it weren't for this person who came to report the news in person, I'm afraid he would have to work hard to find out the meaning of the so-called summer tax!
It turned out that the amount of summer tax in one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou was almost unchanged from the fourteenth year of Hongwu to the present, known as the ancestral system. The summer tax levied in the six counties of Huizhou is wheat, among them, only She County has more than 8,000 horses of silk and more than 300 catties of tea in addition to wheat. Tea is also forgotten, although the tea in Qimen is more famous than She County, and the quantity is limited, but these thousands of silk silk are not trivial, and now it is not a collection of real goods, I don't know when the fight began, it has always been collected by guò discounted silver, and more than 6,000 taels of silver have to be paid every year.
But you must know that it is said that even in a large province like Zhejiang, the sum of the silk summer tax of an entire province is not as high as that of a single county in She County! It is said that there are all kinds of nonsense about why this silk tax was levied back then, and it is a completely confused account.
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, there was a new Anwei man Shuai Jiamo who complained about the Huizhou government, thinking that the silk summer tax that had been followed for more than 100 years was unreasonable, and demanded that this huge tax be evenly distributed to the six counties of Huizhou. Although at that time, because of the worries of the county chiefs and the invitation of the Shangjing court, even if the matter passed vaguely, the county side has been dissatisfied, and the five counties are afraid that someone here will make trouble again, and the two sides are so deadlocked.
After all, there are more than 6,000 taels a year, and at least hundreds of thousands of taels over the years!
As for what this matter has to do with Wang Fulin, Cheng Naixuan was not able to overhear it from Master Cheng, maybe it was because he was just suffering from the pond fish at all, maybe it was someone else's deliberate crazy retaliation, or maybe it was just a simple dispute between the five counties and She County...... But vaguely, Wang Fulin felt that a shrewd person like Master Cheng would not be overheard by Cheng Naixuan, as if it was more like Cheng Naixuan suing himself.
Although this cat is not trivial, but now he must solve the ** annoyance of the food chief first! Out of his understanding of Master Cheng, a shrewd person, he still hid the matter of the grain chief from Cheng Naixuan, who was a little too enthusiastic. After all, Cheng Dagongzi was impulsive at first glance, he didn't want this guy to do anything bad, and he also had concerns about borrowing the Cheng family's momentum.
At night, Wang Fulin was tossing and turning in bed, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. At this moment, it was already the time of night fasting, and such shouting was quite abnormal, and he couldn't help but sit up. But when I opened the tent, I saw that Jinbao, who had already woken up, was tiptoeing towards the door, looking out through the crack in the door, how funny it was to look at it. Wang Fulin was about to call him, when he suddenly saw Jinbao turn around neatly, and then he just pulled his shoes and ran towards him.
"Dad, someone has entered our yard. Dressed up to look similar to the last time I saw the errand in the school palace, will something happen? ”
At this time, Qiu Feng, who had packed up a bamboo couch and slept in this room, was also listening, and his face was quite nervous.
As soon as the words fell, there was a banging knock on the door.
"Wang Xiaoguan?"
Wang Fulin glanced at Jinbao, who was full of nervousness, patted him on the shoulder to show relaxation, and then deliberately waited for others to scream a few more times before he yawned and asked in a lazy tone, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”
The voice outside the door was suddenly lowered: "The little official, it's from the county government, Ye Xianzun has something important to ask you to come over." ”
No, even if his post was successfully delivered, Ye Junyao wouldn't be anxious to see him at night, and he didn't say anything on the post!
"Wait a minute, I'll come out." Even though he was suspicious, Wang Fulin immediately got out of bed and dressed, and Jinbao was busy helping beside him. When he stopped in outfit, he didn't want Jinbao to still hold on to his placket. He glanced back at the little guy who was clearly worried, and said softly, "Wait with peace of mind." In case I haven't come back after dawn, I'll go to Cheng's house to post to find Cheng Gongzi and ask him to take you to the county government to investigate. Remember, be sure to wait until after dawn and don't lose your breath. ”
"Okay, I remember!" Jinbao nodded desperately, and said softly, "Dad, be careful!" ”
The Majia Inn is not far from the county government, but there is still a green cloth sedan chair carried by two people outside. Seeing that there was still a sedan chair to pick it up, the shopkeeper who carried the lantern with a smile on his face was also wide open at this time, and his face was full of incredulity.
On the next road, only Wang Fulin sat alone in the sedan chair, except for the sound of footsteps, there was no noise around, and the feeling of bumps and shaking was stronger, so he simply opened the curtains to let himself breathe. Although the surroundings were pitch black, and only shadows could be seen to see the outline of the building, Wang Fulin had almost touched the entire county seat of Shexian County before, and naturally knew that the small sedan chair carried by the two of them was along the side street to the back street of the county, and finally stopped at the back gate of the county office. There were already people waiting here, and after picking him up from the sedan chair, he led the way straight ahead.
In such a dark night, following a person who only lit a lantern went around, so much so that Wang Fulin even had a feeling of breaking into the White Tiger Hall at night.
The good news is that the truth is not always the same as the worst speculation. When he entered a study, he saw a tall bookshelf against the wall in the huge room, and Ye Xianzun, dressed in homely clothes, was pacing back and forth in front of the desk. As soon as he saw him enter, the magistrate immediately ordered the man who led the way to withdraw, and when the door was closed, he immediately looked at the person he had invited tonight.
"Wang Fulin, how could you have predicted that there was a problem with the county government's expense account?"
