Chapter 11 The sharp word is placed in the center
There was once a lawless monkey, or because of him, or because of him, everywhere he went, always turned the world upside down, he created the biggest excitement, but also the biggest disaster, that is, "make trouble in the heavenly palace", the Jade Emperor can only hide under the imperial case, send people to the west to ask the Buddha to help.
Once upon a time, the monkey achieved the fruit of cultivation, became a great god who could be prayed to, and changed from a scourge star who specialized in causing trouble to the role of reinforcements. Today, Ye Xiaotian returned from Jingshi, occupied Tongren, controlled Shiqian Yang, held Shiqian Zhan hostage, and influenced Shiqian Tong, and became a god who could be prayed to.
With Ye Mengxiong's call, Ye Xiaotian suddenly appeared, but it was not only him, there was also a man in his thirties, with a Chinese face, a square chin, and a generous chin, when the two walked into Ye Mengxiong's study, they entered side by side, that is to say, this person's identity and status are not under Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Mengxiong narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at this person deeply...... I don't know!
Ye Mengxiong said: "Chief Ye is here, sit, please sit!" This is ......"
Tian Jiaxin has been nervous since he stepped into the mansion, if he takes a few long breaths and stops to rest, he may be able to calm himself down, but he doesn't want Ye Xiaotian to see it, and he is patient, which causes shortness of breath.
At this time, hearing Ye Mengxiong's question, Tian Jiaxin gasped for breath, hurriedly took a step forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "Two thoughts of Tian's family, Tian Jiaxin, I have seen Lord Futai." ”
When we meet in the study, he doesn't have to kneel, this salute is appropriate, but although it is a familiar action and words, it still reveals a little hurry. Ye Mengxiong still didn't know who he was, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Lord Futai, this is the fourteenth lang of the Tian family, Yunwen Yunwu, and has a calm temperament. Clumsy Jing has always been very favored. ”
Ye Mengxiong suddenly realized that this was the new master of the Tian family. Ye Mengxiong was slightly displeased, no matter who came, what he wanted to discuss with Ye Xiaotian today was a secret matter, how could he teach others to be present? Thinking of this, Ye Mengxiong's heart suddenly moved.
Judging from past interactions, Ye Xiaotian is not a figure who doesn't know the importance of things, so if he wants to take this Tian Jiaxin with him, it is debatable.
What a character Ye Mengxiong is. I figured out the key right away. Although he still has some doubts about Tian Jiaxin's ability, with Ye Xiaotian taking care of him, he believes that Tian Jiaxin can play his due role. Ye Xiaotian brought Tian Jiaxin here, and he must have the intention of "taking advantage of the situation", but if Tian Jiaxin sits firmly in the position of the head of the family, who dares to say that Tian Jiaxin can be established as the head of the Tian family, and there is no reason why Ye Futai is favored?
For Ye Mengxiong, who is eager to open up the situation and further expand his influence, this is obviously a matter of mutual benefit. Ye Mengxiong immediately smiled. He no longer minded Ye Xiaotian's "forcible sales", and nodded cordially to Tian Jiaxin: "It turned out to be Tian Shishilang." Have a seat! ”
Ye Xiaotian and Tian Jiaxin both sat down, and the little guy served tea, Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "My lord, I heard that Lord Song of 'Xiaoxitian' came to Fuya today, and there was some unhappiness with Lord Futai?" ”
Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to talk about this topic. Just as Ye Mengxiong wanted, Ye Mengxiong sighed and said, "Yes! Song Yingming loves his daughter heartily, and Benfu understands it. However, murder pays for life. If you owe money to repay your debts, is the law of the land the same as child's play? Ben Fu is also helpless. ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "I don't know what Lord Song asked?" ”
Ye Futai said hesitantly: "What can he ask?" Miss Song killed people because of the 'festival', the crime is unforgivable, and she is willing, according to the story of killing people because of 'filial piety', she also wants to open up the net and forgive her, but people can forgive, but they can't not be punished, this Fu wants to follow the law and can't be punished Song girl sixty sticks, Song Yingming is very dissatisfied, and walks away. ”
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, if you just brushed your sleeves away, you wouldn't have come to me in such a hurry, I'm afraid that the two of them have completely collapsed, and you don't want to build a strong enemy outside of Yang Yinglong, if you really have a feud with the Song family, you don't need them to be as suspicious as Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, as long as you don't obey everything, everything doesn't work, and you pull your hind legs everywhere, it will be difficult for you Ye Futai to control Guizhou.
Ye Xiaotian didn't say anything, but frowned slightly, and pretended to be concerned: "Lord Song and Lord Futai are both ministers of the imperial court, if there is disharmony, how can it be the blessing of the place and the blessing of the country." Cough! Can Shishiro mediate in order to reconcile the phase? ”
Tian Jiaxin took advantage of the moment when Ye Xiaotian and Ye Mengxiong were talking, secretly adjusted his breathing, and saw Ye Xiaotian talking eloquently, calmly, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. After all, he was born in a big family, and once he understood it, he also calmed down.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian deliberately asked him, Tian Jiaxin was in good spirits, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong with Lord Futai upholding the law of the country. However, after all, Miss Tian is a woman, and she is a wealthy nobleman, unlike an ordinary small family jasper, if she is punished with a cane, I am afraid that the face of the Song family and Miss Song herself will be unbearable. Although Miss Song offended the adult's tiger power, but reading that she was avenging her husband, the righteousness is commendable, can the adult open the net and avoid this cane punishment? ”
"Hmm......" Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard and made a contemplative gesture, but the corners of his eyes gently looked at Ye Xiaotian: "Boy, if you only need the old man to give in, what are you going to do?" ”
Ye Xiaotian glanced at Tian Jiaxin and didn't speak, if Tian Jiaxin can't handle it, touching a nail will also help him progress, and don't let him grow up, Miaowen can't rest assured, she has to be involved in the affairs of the Tian family from time to time, and she still has to let go when she should let go.
Tian Jiaxin saw that Ye Futai was silent, and thought about it again, the original intention was to invoke the old precedent that the Tusi and Tusi families had a vendetta and could be ransom to buy the crime, but this is a sensitive topic, a Song girl and Wei Ye can only barely get on the edge of this law, and the original Ye Xiaotian case has broken this old custom, even Ye Xiaotian was escorted to Jingshi, pardoned by the Son of Heaven, and then given a degrading punishment, if Miss Song can cite this example, why do they need to take action, if you don't know the current affairs, put forward this article, I'm afraid it will only dislike Ye Futai.
Tian Jiaxin thought about it again, and said tentatively: "Ordinary women involved in cases are usually not imprisoned, and their families will take them back for discipline, and their families will compensate for their crimes." Although Miss Song is not an ordinary small case. But because of her identity, and because she is acting for love and righteousness, have you considered that you can punish the Song family to set an example? ”
Ye Mengxiong habitually narrowed his eyes slightly. became a little interested in Tian Jiaxin's topic: "Oh? According to Shishilang's opinion, what kind of punishment should the Song family receive, so as to not only maintain the royal dignity and the prestige of the court, but also to protect the Song girl's chastity and righteousness? ”
Ye Mengxiong thought about it quickly and didn't answer rashly. How to open this condition, but he is very knowledgeable, he must first find out the bottom line of both parties, so that he can prescribe the right medicine, if he recklessly proposes a solution. But it is one of the contents of the talks between the two sides that have already collapsed, and he is about to fall into passivity.
Ye Xiaotian was not as restrained as Tian Jiaxin in front of Ye Mengxiong, seeing that he was thinking hard, and it was not good to ask Ye Mengxiong bluntly, he opened his mouth for him and asked: "Presumably, Lord Song and Lord Futai have also discussed, I don't know what suggestions Lord Futai made?" ”
Ye Mengxiong groaned for a moment and said, "The old man thinks." Miss Song was resentful and didn't know how to go through the government. Lynching and murder without permission, Wei Ye had a way to die, but Miss Song also violated the law of the country, all because the people of Shuidong were less educated and did not know the law.
If we can set up a judicial yamen in Shuidong following the example of Shiqian Yang and Cao Jiudi, and have a patrol inspection department responsible for local security, it can be imperceptibly changed. So that the people have a law to follow, such merit is enough to withstand the sin of Miss Song alone, but it's a pity that ......"
Ye Mengxiong smiled coldly, and the result was self-evident.
Tian Jiaxin hurriedly said: "Then." Didn't Lord Song come up with some solutions? ”
Ye Mengxiong lazily changed his sitting posture and said, "That's not true, Song Yingming just asked the old man for his guilt, saying that because he had frequent incidents with the Yang family in Banzhou, he focused on family affairs and neglected to discipline his children." Banzhou Yang Yinglong was too indulgent to his subordinates, which caused him to often breed disputes with other Tusi border areas, and Benfu also warned him repeatedly. Listening to Song Yingming's troubles, Ben Fu wanted to set up a guard along the Wujiang River, and the imperial court would come forward to separate the two divisions to avoid right and wrong, but Song Yingming thought that Ben Fu wanted to meddle in his jurisdiction, and left angrily. ”
Tian Jiaxin finally understood that Ye Mengxiong could not take away the administrative power, which was the most fundamental thing of the five powers of the local officials, so he wanted to take a detour and start with the judicial power, if he could successfully establish the judicial system of the imperial court, he could take away at least a quarter of the ruling power of Shuidong.
Song Yingming was not an idiot, so he naturally refused, so Ye Mengxiong retreated and wanted to set up a court guard in Shuidong, the garrison of the guard post was limited, and it had no impact on the local administrative power and judicial power, and even the local officials still had their own army, but in addition to this, there was another military force.
The influence of the guard on the local people is far less than the seizure of judicial power, but after all, it will also have a certain impact, especially the deterrent effect, which is a knife that may not fall, but always makes people uncomfortable hanging over the head. Song Yingming is the head of a family, so naturally he can't cede the interests of the entire family for the sake of his beloved daughter, so this point is obviously not discussed.
Tian Jiaxin pondered hard, the first thing he thought of was the fine, but no matter how much the fine was, it was just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy Song family, and for Ye Mengxiong, what he cared about was not these, the Song family might agree, how could Ye Mengxiong care?
Tian Jiaxin's heart fluttered, and he suddenly thought that he could get a decent end step when both sides gave a step, and Tian Jiaxin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ye Xiaotian has been paying attention to Tian Jiaxin's eyes, and when he looks at him, he knows that he has thought of some solutions, but he doesn't know if this matter can be successful, and he is still analyzing and judging freely, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but smile slightly and shook his head gently.
Negotiation and negotiation is a process of continuous exploration, running-in and adjustment between the two sides, as long as both sides have the need to agree, they will always find a balance, but this need to constantly put forward their own ideas, and look for affirmation in the continuous negation.
Speaking of which, this is not because Tian Jiaxin lacks wisdom, but because he is accustomed to living under others, obeying orders, and is accustomed to repeatedly pondering and not daring to make rash suggestions or opinions.
This is not a matter of Tian Jiaxin's ability, he just needs to gradually adapt to his new identity and change his way of thinking, now that the situation is urgent, he can't be allowed to think about it repeatedly, Ye Xiaotian said: "Fourteen Lang seems to have some ideas, you might as well say it and listen to it, maybe it can inspire adults." ”
Ye Mengxiong also bowed his head and said: "Not bad! If you have any ideas, you might as well speak up, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Anyway, let's talk behind closed doors and discuss it in private, hehe......"
Tian Jiaxin smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Lord Futai, I have thought of a way to do it......
Ye Mengxiong looked at him encouragingly: "Tell me and listen!" ”
Tian Jiaxin said: "Then I will be blunt." Miss Song is guilty and must not go unpunished. But something fundamental that affects the Song family. Even if Lord Song is the head of a clan, he must not dare to agree without permission. If...... The Song family is willing to change the tribute to pay taxes, do you think that you can pardon Miss Tian's sins? ”
Ye Mengxiong was stunned: "Nagong changed to pay taxes?" ”
Guizhou's local officials were also autonomous, and they usually paid tribute to the imperial court, such as An's Tusi who contributed a BMW to the imperial court, and Yang Yinglong, who in Banzhou, had offered a large wood to the imperial court a few years earlier. If you change the tribute to pay taxes......
Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard and gently closed his eyes.
This tax refers to the field tax. The agricultural tax of the Ming Dynasty was already extremely low. However, Guizhou is barren and agriculture is not developed, and agricultural income accounts for only a very small part of the income of local officials, and the imposition of taxes will not provoke a strong backlash from Tian Yingming.
What's more, Guizhou's agriculture is backward, it is completely dependent on the weather for food, and natural disasters are frequent, and it can often report disasters, including doing some tricks. No disaster is reported as a disaster, and a small disaster is reported as a major disaster. In addition, the collection of taxes and the number of acres of land are in the hands of the local officials themselves, and this tax is even more dispensable.
But for the imperial court, what it cares about is not this little bit of silver, but the great significance of it, which is a big step forward in the direct rule of the imperial court over Guizhou. It is of great significance if the establishment of a tax payment system in Guizhou can be promoted because of the change in the tax policy of Shuidong.
Is it just a false name that the imperial court has obtained? But not necessarily, for the imperial court, this is a loose and tight noose, when needed. The imperial court can tighten this noose, since you are paying taxes, it is natural for me to measure the acres of land, right? I make sense to check your actual income, right? If you have tax evasion, this is almost inevitable, and whoever you want to check is a quasi-check, I want to sanction you legally and reasonably, right? In this way, the imperial court can infiltrate and exert influence in many ways.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be taken step by step, at least in the first few years of the implementation of the tax policy, these things must not be done, and the slightest hint of this must not be revealed. If you want to use Shuidong as a bait to implement the policy of changing tribute to pay taxes in the whole province of Guizhou, and Shuidong wants to use it as an example, it will be impossible to take further measures at least within a few decades.
But...... It's a great start!
Besides, the tribute policy is not only not as good as the tax policy to prove the existence of the imperial court and exert more influence, but also every time the imperial court receives tribute, the value of the gifts returned must be several times or even more than ten times, which has become a routine and is difficult to change.
Of course, this concession is not as good as handing over judicial power or allowing the imperial court to garrison, but it is always a good start, thinking of this, Ye Mengxiong looked at Tian Jiaxin with blazing eyes, and said, "Is it possible for Fourteen Lang to persuade Song Yingming?" ”
Tian Jiaxin said: "I am willing to go all out!" ”
"Good!"
Ye Mengxiong stood up and said, "If Song Yingming is willing to agree, it will be a credit to the country." In the country, the court should be gracious, and it is reasonable to forgive because of the grace. I'll leave this matter to my nephew! ”
Tian Jiaxin was overjoyed, with Ye Mengxiong's words, the next thing will be easy to do, once he does this, Ye Mengxiong will have something to say. He was not a mediocre talent in the first place, under Ye Xiaotian's continuous cultivation, his prestige and status in the family were increasing day by day, if there was any more appreciation from the governor, no one would be able to snatch away the position of the head of the family.
Tian Jiaxin left with Ye Xiaotian saying goodbye to Ye Mengxiong, and as soon as he left the house, Tian Jiaxin gave Ye Xiaotian a long bow and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness!" "He's not stupid, he naturally knows what Ye Xiaotian did.
Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Fourteen Lang originally had the ambition of Kunpeng and the talent of the world, but unfortunately there was no room to play. What Ye did was just a matchmaker and an introduction, and what happened next depends on Shishilang. ”
Tian Jiaxin was slightly startled and said, "Doesn't my uncle accompany Fourteen to see the head of the Song family?" ”
"You don't have to go!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled faintly and said, "Futai has already taken a step back, and there is still the imperial court standing behind him, so there is no way to retreat." Next, I can only see if Song Ying knows whether he is interested or not. Changing the tribute to pay taxes, for the Song family, the loss of interests is very small, and as for the long-term, it is not up to the court to have the final say. The imperial court has that ability, if it doesn't give in today, there will still be changes in the future, the imperial court doesn't have that strength, and what promised the imperial court today is just a big pie drawn. I believe Song Yingming will make a wise choice. ”
Tian Jiaxin was slightly ashamed and said, "Uncle, Fourteen really convinced you today!" The eldest lady of our Tian family, only a heroic figure like my uncle is worthy! That being the case, the fourteenth went to the Song family and his party! ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled: "Okay! Then I'll go back first, wait for you to come back, and set up a wine for you to celebrate! ”
The two broke up in front of the yamen, Tian Jiaxin didn't stop for a moment, went straight to the Song family, and Ye Xiaotian also turned back to Tianjiazhuang. According to his idea, after solving this situation, he would go to Hongfeng Lake again, although it was said that since he and Yingying were officially engaged, they should not see each other again according to custom before they got married, but Ye Xiaotian didn't care so much about these secular rules.
However, when Ye Xiaotian returned to Tianjiazhuang and stepped into the gate of Tianfu, the messenger sent by Li Dazhuo to report his funeral also rushed to the Shili Pavilion outside Guiyang City......
: I'm very happy today, I have to have free time in the afternoon, hurry up and code a chapter, more than 5,000 words, and give it to everyone. …… (To be continued.) )
