Chapter 635 Fight!

When Shuai Jiamo and several She people arrived here, they were all excited. Perhaps it was because Yin Zhengmao, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, was a She person, or perhaps it was because when Shuai Jiamo was from the capital by Wang Fulin, Zhang Juzheng had already handed a letter to his confidants everywhere, such as Song Yiwang, who was promoted to the governor of Yingtian in the second year of Wanli, etc., he could clearly understand the changes in the attitudes of the people in the government during the exchanges, from the past without a way to the present time treating each other with courtesy, but the She people who were with him all thought it was his credit.

Even when he was in a surplus in this business, they suggested that he just spend some money to donate a set of crowns and bring them to his hometown in glory! He was a little hesitant at first, but he couldn't help but instigate others. In addition to the hardships he suffered from many years of running around, he finally heard this and donated a ninth-grade crown belt. Although this is not to say that even if he can be a candidate for an official, ordinary people cannot wear such outfits even if they have money. This money is just to be qualified to wear that crown belt.

Seeing Xuancheng, it was two or three days away from Huizhou Prefecture, and four or five days later, after checking into the inn, everyone gathered together to drink a few glasses of wine. After Shuai Jiamo was poured a few glasses, he said that he would go to the government office to meet Yao Fuzun. This lawsuit would definitely make a sensation in Nanzhili and even the world. He was full of confidence, and the other people also showed a look of honor. After a lot of drinks, each of them had their own room. Shuai Jiamo had just lying down and not yet closed his eyes, but he heard a gentle knock on the door outside. He thought that his companion had something to come to find, so he pulled his shoes to open the door.

But as soon as the door opened, he was a completely unfamiliar middle-aged Confucian scholar outside. Shuai Jiamo, who had suffered countless plots and suffered countless hardships over the years, immediately became alert. He reached behind his back and pinched a short dagger, but as soon as the other party spoke, his hostility melted a little.

"Mr. Shuai, Liu Mingye is the master next to Xue Xianzun, the magistrate of She County. Knowing that you came from Nanjing this time because of the Xiashi Silk in Huizhou Prefecture, Xue Xianzun specially ordered me to come to Ningguo Prefecture to welcome him." Seeing that Shuai Jiamo seemed to relax, the right hand that was originally placed behind him came to his back again, Master Liu said with a smile, "Can you go into the house to speak?"

After thinking for a long time, he saw that the other party was not like those who threatened and even killed him. Shuai Jiamo finally let him in, but he closed the door without bolting. Liu Mingye did not go round and said straight to the bush as soon as he entered the house: "Xuexianzun said that Mr. Shuai has been running around for the benefit of the people of She County for many years, and even lived and died. He has worked hard and made great contributions, but in the past, the county magistrates responded to the story and never reported you with all your passion. Now that he has taken the new job, he plans to use this matter as an opportunity to reduce the burden on the people of She County. When the government office re-examines the matter, he will definitely stand firmly on your side.

Shuai Jiamo had never heard such a clear statement from the lord of a county. In the past, some officials and officers could stand on his side. It would be rare for the county master to silently support him. Even if Wang Fulin was just praising and compassionate. For a moment, he felt a heat in his heart and his throat was choked: "If Xue County master could really move his head to this mountain for the people of She County, it would be a great blessing!"

Master Liu did not expect that Shuai Jiamo was so moved when he heard that the county master was strong, and immediately became 80% sure about the purpose of the trip. After comforting and encouraging Shuai Jiamo, he just told Wang Fulin about contacting the famous village officials and advocating the slowdown of the matter. Sure enough, Shuai Jiamo frowned. He also heard that Wang Fulin not only brought the seriously injured Shuai Jiamo to his home in the capital to treat him, but also led the matter to Zhang Juzheng, and even escorted the person back thousands of miles away. Therefore, he knew that Wang Fulin's bad words should be stopped at the right time, otherwise the effect would be counterproductive, so he stopped it very smartly and expressed the greatest intention of the trip.

"The county master has sent someone to report this matter to the Huizhou government office again. Soon Huizhou government will issue a formal investigation sign, and one and six counties will argue fiercely. You might as well delay in Xuancheng for a few days. When my She County has the upper hand, you will take the attitude of Nanjing Ministry of Revenue and Fuyuan. This will be the best and best." Master Liu said this. He took out an inch of ingot of about ten taels of ingot from his arms and put it on the table with a light weight. "This is what the county master asked me to bring. For nothing else, Mr. Quandai's expenses during his period in Xuancheng."

Shuai Jiamo refused, and then took it off. When he sent Master Liu to leave, he closed the door and latched the door again, but he became very confused. When he arrived in the capital, Wang Daokun avoided him, as if he didn't want to pay attention to the matter. At that time, he felt very dissatisfied. When Wang Fulin rescued him on snowy night, he even drank the interceptor, he treated him again, stabbed the matter to Zhang Juzheng, and sent someone to escort him to fund the money. He was not grateful. However, all his energy has been devoted to this silk dispute over the years, how could he accept Wang Fulin's strong support for delays?

"Whether people's hearts change easily or have other purposes, I can only recognize my original intention and remain unchanged!"

Before Shuai Jiamo came, the Huizhou Prefecture Office put two checking signs to the six counties to investigate the origin of the Xia tax silk in She County, which immediately opened the curtain of verbal disputes. People at that time said that Suzhou people were in a lawsuit, that is, they like to complain, and they would go to the government to sue for big things, but Huizhou people's love of lawsuits was also famous in the entire Nanzhili. Even Zhu Xi, who was regarded as the master of Neo-Confucianism by the Ming Dynasty, once said that Hui people were too tough and liked to fight, so it was difficult to convince themselves with their customs, but it was easy to win with reason. In other words, if you suppress others with power, Huizhou people would not be convinced at all. If there is reason, debate and win first.

In this way, She County and the other five counties of Huizhou Prefecture officially took over. From the township officials to the common people, snow-filled documents flew into the Huizhou Prefecture Office. The various confessions collected every day could be filled with a table. The prefect Yao Huizu found that he had no time to read them. If he looked at them, he would have no other official duties. He would have to just mess with such a summer tax dispute! So he had to sign a sign to summon the magistrates of the six counties, the township officials and representatives of the township officials gathered together, and spoke in advance, using debate and reasoning to determine right and wrong.

In this verbal battle, She County was represented by Wang Shangning, while the other five counties were the most united by Wuyuan County, especially the two scholars Cheng Wenlie and Cheng Renqing, with a bunch of lawsuits as their backing, and the villagers were just watching the wall. However, Yu Maoxue, who had just been dismissed, did not appear. Although Wang Fulin received an invitation from the Huizhou Prefecture Office, he refused to take care of himself. Instead, he asked Jin Bao, who was in charge of the last year, to listen with his ears, and the rest were all held at home by him. It was the afternoon in Shenshi. Jin Bao, who had an excellent memory, had just arrived, so he could not describe the scene in the prefecture office hall in detail.

"Today we started from the tax on Jiachen to the reform of Yisi. It was said that it was the reform of Yisi. The other counties only added wheat rice in summer tax and autumn grain, but She County added more than 9,000 pieces of summer tax silk. This was what Mr. Wang said. Cheng Wenlie from Wuyuan jumped out, saying that because Huizhou Prefecture owed RMB 10000,000,000,000 pieces of silk, but was pushed by Mr. Wang. He said that Huizhou did not produce silk in advance. According to the Ming Hui Dian, the summer tax silk was folded in the crowd, not RMB 100,000 pieces of silk. What Mr. Cheng Wenlie took out was the yellow book of tax service, and the Hongzhi version of Huizhou Prefecture as evidence, while Mr. Wang took the Jiajing version of Huizhou Prefecture and the Ming Hui Dian as refutation."

When Wang Fulin saw Ye Xiaopang's expression of regret, he didn't go to watch the fun. But when Jin Bao said this, he widened his eyes and looked like he didn't understand. He explained kindly: "The Jiachen tax was in the 24th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Taizu used the tenth year of Song Longfeng, and the Yisi restructuring was the next year. It was all the time when Emperor Taizu had not ascended the throne, so although it was two consecutive years. The situation was different, and the changes in taxes before and after were different. Why did she send only the Xia Tax silk in She County at that time? Now, I'm afraid no one can find any evidence, so the Hongzhi version or the Jiajing version of the prefecture record. The Huang Book of the Fu and Services, the Daming Hui Dian are all auxiliary evidence. Today they should be lying around this verbal battle, right?"

Seeing Jin Bao nodding repeatedly, Wang Fulin continued to say: "The version of the official script is different, and the editors are different on which side, and this is just a semi-official thing. It cannot be done accurately. Therefore, the people in She County really rely on the Ming Huidian, which was compiled by the court. The editor-in-chief was Li Dongyang during the Zhengde period, so it is naturally the most official thing. But because it is national, only one volume involved in taxes and service, the other five counties must not say that the records here are wrong. They can only insist that the Huidian only records the outline, which is not comprehensive enough. Besides, they have mastered the Huang Book. In the Huang Book, the summer tax silk in She County is said to be because of the previous punishment of accumulated arrears. However, Huang Book is all handled by the clerks in the yamen, and the tricks can be imagined. It is precisely because of this that this debate makes the husband say that the husband is right and the mother says that the mother is right."

Although Jin Bao is good at studying, he really doesn't understand such taxes, so Wang Fulin's explanation is also timely for him. Therefore, after nodding, he explained the confrontation between the major people on both sides clearly. As Wang Fulin said, Cheng Wenlie captured the fact that Wang Shangning was the president of the Jiajing version of Huizhou Prefecture Chronicle, and criticized him for hiding evil intentions at that time, and made the old man Wang so angry that he said it vividly, making Ye Xiaopang and Qiu Feng both amused, and Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile.

However, the most intense confrontation in the middle was the debate that quoted various numbers, which is rare these days. After all, they are all numbers, and those who don’t understand will definitely be boring to hear it. At least Wang Fulin imagined the expression of the Huizhou prefect Yao Huizu when he heard these complex numbers, and couldn’t help but smile with gloating. At this moment, Jin Bao suddenly changed his mind.

"Dad, today they couldn't argue about the winner and lose on the summer tax silk. Later, Old Master Wang suddenly changed the spearhead and threw out the equal-to-peace silver. It is said that the entire Huizhou Prefecture sent more than 16,000 taels of silver in the four departments every year, She County alone was responsible for more than 5,000 taels of silver in the military, more than 12,000 taels of silver in the military, She County alone was responsible for more than 4,000 taels of silver in the other areas, and the rest were like bricks, military pay, tea plants, etc. She County was almost one-third of each item. You should know that in Huizhou, one prefecture and six counties, why did She County have to bear the big head alone?"

Speaking of this, Jin Bao suddenly remembered the moment of stagnation in the hall and the almost completely exploded atmosphere next.

"Who doesn't know that Huizhou has one prefecture and six counties. She County is the richest county, and it is the richest county. It is the best of five counties. But it is only half of She County. What's wrong with independent burdens? Moreover, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even in Nanzhili, She County's wealthy businessmen are all the first, not only in Huizhou, but also in the entire Jiangnan! If you don't pay more than this equal silver, who will pay more?" This is what Cheng Renqing, who is beside Cheng Wenlie, said.

"Fuck, who spread the folk song? Shexian's two streams south, and she can't go to Xiuning's Shangshan Mountain! In the early years, the wealth of Xiuning Wuyuan was famous in Nanzhili. Now, you five counties have less silk and less silver. The villagers have much more money than Shexian! As for the increasingly barren fields in Shexian, the land prices are getting cheaper day by day, and the people are displaced. How many young and strong people are still staying in their hometown to farm? As for the land prices in your five counties are as expensive as they are every day, if it weren't for the fertile land, abundant production, and low taxes, how many people would have farmed! If the taxes and labor unevenly, the people in Shexian would be clean!"

When Mr. Wang was so angry that he revealed his old man's true feelings and sweared, Xue Xian, as the magistrate of She County, went too far to make the unfair reform of Xiashishi silk, and he had no intention of changing the junping silver at all. He immediately became a peacemaker: "Old Mr. Wang said that the people of Shexian were quite prosperous in the past, so there were more taxes than the other five counties at that time. It was not too much. But Shexian had only taken the Daliang of Huizhou Prefecture for more than a hundred years. This is so unfair! Now Xiuning is rich and prosperous than Shexian, and Wuyuan and Qimen are even less prosperous than before. That is, Jixi and Yixian are relatively poor. The people of She have been asking for Xiashishishi silk for more than a hundred years. If they are not solved, the people's hearts will be really in chaos!"

After Jinbao reposted the words of these people one by one, Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes and asked for a long time: "What do you say about Yao Fuzun?"

"Yao Fuzun said that he would fairly investigate when this piece of silk silk in Huizhou Prefecture started, why did he send her county to She County, and whether other counties paid other taxes, money and grain to offset them. If not, we have to discuss how to deal with it in the future. Dad, this seems to be biased towards our She County?"

"Of course, this Yao Fuzun is the master of Lord Fu. Since there is the shadow of Lord Fu in the matter of Shuai Jiamo, who do you think he will favor? I want to say this to the man Zun, the people in the other five counties should not look very good, right?"

"Yes, it was a mess in the hall, but the Mansion Master temporarily pressed down with a grove. I saw Cheng Wenlie's faces dark. After leaving the government office, I saw Old Master Wang's people in She County who were happy. Cheng Renqing, who was beloved by Cheng Wenlie, even spitted and cursed, saying that this matter was not over and that She County would never succeed. As for the people in the other four counties, although the reaction was also very fierce, it would be much more restrained than those in Wuyuan. By the way, Dad, the magistrate of Jixi County is still Shubangru. It is said that because Jixi is poor, he was also influenced by the long-term responsibilities and would have to be transferred for six years."

When talking about Shubangru, Wang Fulin suddenly remembered this unlucky Jinshi who was in the same subject as Ye Junyao. He was appointed as the prefectural prosecutor and then served as the prefectural prosecutor. He became a real job. Now, he has to work for six years to leave due to the long term law. It has to be said that Shubangru is completely too smart in his organization, which has lost Qingqing's life. He is a real step-by-step mistake! Hearing Jinbao said that Shubangru now seems to be ten years old and is taciturn, but he is much quiet and silent. On the contrary, Wu Guan, the magistrate of Wuyuan County who took office at the end of the fifth year of Longqing, was tough, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Anyway, this matter has just begun. Why did I write so many letters and do my best to slow down many people a little? That's because this matter is definitely not as easy as some people think! The lawsuits around Cheng Wenlie, Wuyuan, cannot get up early. This time, I took a large sum of money from Wuyuan Township, but couldn't do anything. It would be strange if I didn't make a fuss. Even Xiu Ning would not be able to wait for death."

If it were so easy, why did he do things without Ye Dapao’s tenure as a vocation? Wasn’t he just worried about the inflow and outflow of thousands of taels of silver every year causing civil unrest?

ps: It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone has a happy New Year, and get the monthly ticket red envelopes (to be continued.)
