Poor Li Taishou, his stomach grievances are really unknown to anyone. It stands to reason that it is easy to form the focus of public opinion if the local officials ask for the people's lives and resist the reckless behavior of the ministers, and in addition, there are local gentry and senior citizens who jointly make statements as evidence.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, a heated discussion is indispensable. And no matter what the consequences are, that magistrate will definitely form a clear name, and if he is punished by the imperial court, his reputation will rise to a higher level.

But there are always some exceptions to everything in the world, for example, this time there were many accidents in Beijing that Governor Li did not know.

First of all, he is not a celebrity, and the impeachment of Fang Yingwu was not popular after it was sent to the General Administration, and he was not subjected to widespread and strong onlookers;

After being sent to the cabinet by the General Administration, he was directly detained in the hands of a certain assistant and treated coldly, and a deduction was half a month, and other cabinet ministers deliberately connived at a certain auxiliary to conceal the report, and no one patronized it.

Then, this letter was sealed in a box and directly presented to the Son of Heaven by a certain auxiliary through a secret performance, and it was still not seen in the process.

After the last, the Son of Heaven made a final decision and directly approved it. So from beginning to end, this piece of music has not been circulated at all, few people know about it, and it has not given the outside world much opportunity to discuss.

And after the Son of Heaven criticized the red, although it caused a lot of discussions, but at this time the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and the holy decree was issued, and others were even more lazy to pay further attention. After all, attention is also white attention, so what's the use? Is it possible to change the decree?

Therefore, Li Taishou's long-awaited Qing Discussion never came, and when he remembered what had happened to him in the sinking place in the past seven years, he inevitably felt resentment in his heart, and felt that the court and his superiors were sorry for him.

After making up your mind. Li Taishou's expression regained his composure, looking at Wang Qianhu's eyes. Knowing that he had already made a choice, he asked again: "I wonder if Li Taishou can vacate the mansion?" ”

Li Taishou said lightly: "There are fewer people on Fang Qincha's side. The mansion occupies a large area, which is a bit wasteful and frugal. Therefore, the official decided to find another place of suitable size and rearrange for Fang Qincha and his party to move in. ”

Wang Chen praised with a smile on his face: "Li Taishou is insightful! ”

From beginning to end, the two of them did not mention the procurement of eunuch Wang Jing in a single word, but all the words of the two actually revolved around Wang Jing. If Fang Yingwu withdrew from the mansion, except for Wang Jing. Who else qualifies?

Seeing Wang Chen leave, Governor Li showed a little dazed look on his face, but he really had mixed feelings in his heart, how did things evolve to this point?

Back then, he was also a person full of ideals, and he wanted to be a righteous person who was upright and famous all over the world, otherwise he would not disobey the eunuch Wang Zhi in power.

But ask yourself, what you are doing now is gradually distancing yourself from your ideals, especially the choice to procure eunuchs just now, which is a complete betrayal of your ideals.

I think so. A sentence suddenly popped up in Li Taishou's mind: One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and looking back is a hundred years old

didn't mention it, but said that on the side of Gongguan Street, after all the families worked together to defeat the minions of the eunuch Qincha. Morale was immediately high. I am more and more convinced and grateful to Lord Chinchafang, who has never shown up, but has actually served as a spiritual pillar.

On this day, seven or eight members of the family went to the door of the mansion together. He pleaded to see Lord Chincha, but he had to express his gratitude in person.

Fang Yingwu hesitated slightly. But he felt that it was an opportunity, so he opened the door and let him go. Received all the members in the lobby.

After chatting from all over the world, Fang Yingwu started talking and said: "This official was ordered by the imperial court to come to Suzhou Mansion to supervise grain, but after careful study, he found a lot of drawbacks, no wonder there are serious arrears in recent years. ”

This kind of words, how many rich people dare to answer, they can only pat the horse and say: "Lord Fang's candle shines on the insight, and he sees everything clearly, so he can naturally see it clearly." ”

Fang Yingwu ignored these unnutritious welcome words and continued: "For example, I have been pondering a problem in the past few days - the imperial court collects taxes from the Suzhou government, mainly in kind, especially grain and rice. After all, the people take food as the sky, and the supply of rations in Beijing basically depends on Jiangnan, and the stakes are very high, and no one dares to change their tricks.

In recent years, the population of Suzhou Prefecture has grown, the number of households has multiplied, and the atmosphere has gradually become extravagant and wasteful, but the land is still these lands, and the territory of the prefecture has already been almost reclaimed, and the total number has not changed much.

In this way, the amount of grain and rice consumed locally in Suzhou has increased year by year, and the other reason is very simple, the number of local consumption is more, and the number that can be shipped to Beijing will naturally be less. Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Suzhou government has been in arrears for many years. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all puzzled. Tang Guangde started and asked: "Lord Fang's insight, we admire it very much, but I can't wait for the rich people in the city, why does Lord Fang tell me this?" ”

Fang Yingwu smiled, "If there are drawbacks, there must be a solution, for example, for this problem just now, this official has some unformed ideas in his heart." If you are interested, you may want to refer to one or two.

In this place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many people and little land, and land reclamation is coming to an end. But I heard that there is still a lot of fertile land in Huguang, and it has been continuously cultivated over the years, and now the grain and rice production has increased sharply.

Nowadays, Suzhou is in short supply of grain and rice, while Huguang rice is gradually surplus. And can a merchant like you send someone to Huguang to buy rice, and then go down the river and send it to Guazhou Shuicicang? ”

The so-called water silo is the granary built along the canal, and those who need to pay for the grain in various places only need to transport the grain to the designated water warehouse. Then, after the spring of the following year, the army was responsible for transporting it to the northern capital division by boat.

The people of Suzhou Prefecture need to transport the grain from their hometown to the water warehouse in Guazhou, north of the Yangtze River. After the grain and rice were put into the warehouse, and the receipt of the return ticket from the storekeeper was completed, the tax was paid.

Although transporting grain for hundreds of miles is also a very hard thing, it is much more comfortable than transporting it from Suzhou Mansion to the northern capital division before the Xuande Dynasty

Everyone looked at each other again, what does Fang Qincha mean by this? Do you want to ask businessmen like them to go to Huguang to buy grain and rice, and then pay it as tax grain?

So what is the difference between this act and donation, and what benefit can they have? Businessmen can't afford to make a profit, and no one wants to do this kind of thing that purely loses money for a long time.

"Of course it doesn't stop there! Yunhu Guangmi to the water warehouse, after receiving the return ticket, and then take it back to Suzhou Mansion, you can deduct taxes!

In other words, these cangrice return tickets can be sold in the market. No matter who you are, as long as you have a cangmi return ticket, you can offset your own taxes in the yamen! ”

Everyone said "Huh" in unison, this method seems to be feasible, and think about it carefully, it seems that there are really new business opportunities here.

As we all know, it is very troublesome to pay taxes in kind such as grain and rice, and if a large family acts as a grain chief, it is the turn of the village to pay taxes, it is simply difficult and abnormal. Not only is it difficult to get enough food and rice, but the long journey is a disaster.

If you buy a special return ticket, you can discount the corresponding tax, which will definitely be welcomed by many people who are troublesome to pay taxes but do not lack cash.

Compared with the drudgery of going to the water warehouse to pay for grain and rice, as long as this special return can offset the tax grain, even if it is worth adding money to buy! Paying to buy a worry-free one, why not do it for people who have a little spare money!

In the end, everyone concluded that if there is a reliable minister to endorse and promote, this business model is indeed very feasible.

But it is not without risks, the biggest risk is actually in the policy, once the order is changed, it is easy to lose all your money. To say a thousand things and ten thousand, it still depends on whether the officials who promote this matter are reliable or not, and whether they are strong enough.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Fang Yingwu was not in a hurry, and he took care of himself and tasted tea. He didn't think that it would be done today, but just took the opportunity to blow the wind and let the news spread.

If the response is positive, let's take a closer look at the details. Of course, the crux of Suzhou government's money and grain is not only this aspect, there are many kinds of problems that need to be solved or alleviated.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh, the burden was on his shoulders, and he had a long way to go.

At this time, suddenly a handyman at the door came to report: "Master Fang! There was a small official sent by the government office, saying that there was something to announce. ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and let him in, but after seeing this little official go up to the hall, he first looked around and looked at a few people, and then saluted Fang Yingwu and said: "Lord Fang is above, and the little one came here on the order of the government to talk to Lord Fang about the matter of the mansion." ”

"What is there to say about that?" Fang Yingwu frowned.

The little official replied tremblingly: "The mansion covers a wide area, and the number of people in Lord Fang's party is not much, so if you don't need these many places, it will be a little extravagant." Therefore, the government decided to find another place and arrange for Lord Fang to move elsewhere. ”

Fang Yingwu was furious, what was the difference between this statement and expelling him from the mansion? Who can stand this shame? Especially since there are so many outsiders here.

When the other officials heard the request of the government officials, they were also frightened. When they moved to Gongguan Street, they came for Fang Yingwu, if Fang Yingwu left, what was the point of Gongguan Street? They have already been very tossed and settled here, but they really can't afford to toss anymore!

There are also timid people who are already thinking about it in their hearts, this party should not even be able to eat this, so with rational analysis, this person is afraid that he will not be stable and unreliable.

Bang! Fang Yingwu slapped the case fiercely, and the teacup clanged. "Before the official moved in, the mansion was also idle, isn't it wasted? Why did it become a waste after the official moved in? ”

The little official stubbornly replied, "The mansion will not be idle, and there will be others to move in." ”

Fang Yingwu laughed angrily, and said after a few words: "Now in Suzhou Mansion, who else is more qualified to enter the mansion than this official?" ”

The little official was silent. (To be continued......)
