Chapter 647 Foreign monks are not good at reciting sutras
Wang Fulin really rarely did the four words of self-cultivation and character cultivation. He calculated by himself. Except for the dark preparation period before the provincial examination after getting married, and the time when he passed the imperial examination, and was admitted to the Jinshi and was allowed to choose officials, Wang Daokun was pulled in the Wang Mansion room to help handle the letters and deal with the lower-level officials who came to ask for a meeting, he seemed to be running around at other times, causing trouble, and even the relatively peaceful trip to Jizhen had encountered many small twists and turns and episodes?
Therefore, since he had no choice but to agree to Wang Daoyun, he had to calm down and take on the responsibility of being an elder seriously. However, he was actually obtained by luck and the attack on the exam. It was different from Jinbao and Qiu Feng, who had a solid foundation. In fact, it was higher than Ye Xiaopang's level. Especially Jinbao was particularly qualified, and he would work hard without his supervision. Therefore, he was very light and easy to be a teacher. Only Ye Xiaopang was very angry and came to Huizhou far away but still had to study, but both of his companions were like this, so he could only whisper and accept his fate.
The turmoil outside is gradually subsided. Because of Cheng Renqing's "succession", the big chaos between Wuyuan and Xiuning finally ended, and the Jinyiwei, who was blocking the door in Yu Maoxue's family, did not cause too much trouble because the government completely ignored it. At the request of the prefect of Huizhou Yao Huizu, although the compilation of the full tax and service had not yet been approved by the court, the Nanjing Metropolitan Court, that is, the governor of Yingtian Song Yiwang, had already replied that he had requested the Ningguo Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture to send officials to verify the old files and examine the evil, and at the same time decided to establish a compromise solution for the summer tax silk of Huizhou Prefecture.
The people who set out to come were Liu Gai, the Taiping Prefecture Promoter, and Shi Yuanxi, the Ningguo Prefecture Promoter, but their qualifications were completely different. Liu Gai was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing and also the Taiping Prefecture Promoter, who took office at that time. Because of his long term, this official has been a Jinshi for four years. However, Shi Yuanxi was a Jinshi who was in the same rank as Wang Fulin last year. Although he was ranked in the top 3, he was at least in the top 20. He was from Yuyao, Zhejiang, but he chose the Ningguo Prefecture Promoter, which was because Zhang Juzheng used a big stick to "kill" against this Jinshi in this term. Therefore, some people inevitably say that this was the reason why the powerful Yuyao Party in the court helped.
In short, the two prosecutors with old and new qualifications were appointed by the Nanjing Metropolitan Court to come to Huizhou Prefecture to assist in dealing with the dispute over Xiashi silk. They naturally understood that this was a thankless hot potato. But the superiors asked them to come, and no one could give up. After arriving in the prefecture, they had met Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou. The two of them and the officials from the Taiping Prefecture and Ningguo Prefecture who were recruited began to read the old files. However, in the old files that were almost broken by talented people and strangers in all counties in Huizhou, they could not help but feel resentful. They calculated with their fingers how many criminal matters would accumulate during their departure from the prefecture and six counties.
Although they didn't know each other before, they are now sympathetic. The two prosecutors have no choice but to communicate in private. Seeing that it was seven or eight days, this matter was not over yet. Both Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi were all over. Fortunately, they brought their Huizhou Prefecture's personal followers to inquire about the various rumors. On the evening, Shi Yuanxi, who came from the government office, heard a familiar name from his entourage, and immediately came to find Liu Gai.
Since there are only a few government offices in the government office, the two of them, as well as the officials and entourages they brought, lived in a business courtyard in the city. They each occupied a courtyard, but the door was convenient. When Shi Yuanxi entered the door, he happened to hear Liu Gai's voice coming from the main room: "What are you saying? At that time, the She County Yamen was surrounded by the people who made trouble in the three counties. Was Wang Fulin who came out to rescue the siege? Oh my God, I'll say, how could this disaster star not appear in such a big thing!"
When Shi Yuanxi heard that Liu Gai, the Taiping Prefecture Promoter, seemed to be familiar with Wang Fulin, he couldn't help but be curious and quickly walked to the door and called Brother Liu. After a while, the thick curtain was beaten up by Liu Gai himself. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and said, "I'm just looking for you. The people around me really don't know the main and the secondary. They just found out that the summer tax silk dispute in Huizhou Prefecture had been involved. You and Wang Fulin were in the same year as the imperial examination center, and the rankings were not far apart. You should be familiar with him, right?"
"On the contrary, I only heard of his name but not familiar with him." Shi Yuanxi deliberately joked. Seeing Liu Gai for a moment, he spread his hands and said, "What happened to the same year in the imperial examination? Brother Liu, you are a veteran. You should know that it is more important to be an official for a few years. The Ministry of Rites Enrong Banquet is a table and a table according to the ranking. As long as it is not a table, you may not even recognize him. I am still more than a dozen people away from him. How can I be familiar with him if I am not at the same table? Moreover, Wang Fulin has never participated in the literary and poetry club and has always been a candidate in Beijing. I have released Ningguo Mansion to promote the official early, which makes me even more unfamiliar."
Seeing Liu Gai laughing suddenly, he inquired with interest: "But I just listened to Brother Liu's words outside, but I seemed to be quite familiar with me, the third-class Chuanlu, in the same year?"
"I'm not familiar with it. After all, I've been a promoter in Taiping Prefecture for more than four years. The Huizhou Rice Industry Guild started with him as the president and set up a stack warehouse in Wuhu, Taiping Prefecture. Although Wuhu is not a Taiping Prefecture capital, it is more prosperous than Dangtu. The news spreads very quickly. After a while, before this little official Wang was admitted to the third-level prefecture, I almost got callused in my ears."
Liu Gai told Shi Yuanxi one after another about things in Huizhou, Hangzhou, Hankou, and Nanjing. Seeing him stunned, he spread his hands and smiled: "I am less than twenty years old and have made such a lot of things. I can still be able to pass the imperial examination for the Jinshi. Anyway, I have nothing to say. The ground of Huizhou, especially the grain merchants in Xiuning and salt merchants in She County, all regarded him as the God of Wealth, but the opponents who were unlucky because of him all regarded him as a disaster star. Especially when he could run into things wherever he went, it was even more amazing. If you don't believe me, look at Liaodong and the capital, then it is no exception. This time he has a ghost disease in Huizhou. Something happened again. What is it that a disaster star?"
Although he knew that the second half of Liu Gai's words were mainly jokes, Shi Yuanxi was really amused. He asked Liu Gai to discuss whether he wanted to visit the Wang family in the name of the same year. Now Liu Gai took the initiative to mention Wang Fulin, and he also put forward this suggestion. Sure enough, after Liu Gai pondered slightly, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. I have been hearing about his name for a long time and have not seen him. Today I will go and see what kind of style is this famous disaster star, Xiaoguan Man!"
The two promoters who left at will completely ignore that they lived in the prefecture city. Wang Fulin lived in the prefecture city. It was evening. As long as the Deshengmen connected to the prefecture and county, they would not come once they passed.
In those days before, they were walking around in a temporary residence and a government office. Although the county town of She County was just east of the city, it was the first time they came. I thought that no one knew me anyway, and the two Jinshis who were one year away did not sit in a sedan chair, but chose to ride a horse. Each of them was a boy leading a horse. When they were just a new arrival, they thought they needed to ask all the way, but after entering Deshengmen, they asked the first person. The passerby was very enthusiastic about leading the way. Until they took them to the back street of the county, they said, "It's the house that is facing the back door of the county magistrate, and you can tell anyone who asks you."
Just from this incident, Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi truly realized how famous Wang Fulin is in this She County.
Since there was such a prompt, the two of them did not continue to ask for directions. What's more, since Wang Fulin came again, there was a plaque of Wang's mansion in front of the door, and they would miss it unless they had a bad look. Seeing that the door was extremely simple, Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi had just mentioned Wang Fulin's reputation as the God of Wealth, and they were a little surprised. They confirmed that the word Wang should be correct. Shi Yuanxi, who was two years younger, just knocked on the door himself. Soon, a crack was opened, and a strange head poked out and looked at them, then it became bigger and flashed out. However, it was a boy with half of his ears.
"Who are the guests looking for?"
"Is this Wang Fulin and Mr. Wang's house?"
"Yes, but the young master cannot meet guests." Wang Siming came out to meet the door. Seeing the two guests outside the door, they were obviously a little puzzled. Even the two followers who were holding horses seemed very puzzled. He said embarrassedly, "The master and his uncle went out to do business before. The young master said he was well recuperating, but he went out twice. So after the master came, he was angry and told him not to let the young master meet guests, let alone go out unless there was anything important to the prefecture and county government office."
According to the rules of the wealthy family, Wang Siming is definitely the master of the arrangement behind the scenes, but this is Wang Fulin specifically instructed Wang Siming to say this to the visitors, otherwise he would have to be suffocated to death by Wang Daoyun. Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi naturally didn't know the link, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard this. In the end, Shi Yuanxi said, "Then please come in and report to Mr. Wang, that is, Shi Yuanxi, the same year of Mr. Wang, and Liu Gai, the senior of the imperial examination, came to visit."
After all, Wang Siming was still familiar with the various customs, geography and human feelings of the Ming Dynasty, and felt unfamiliar with these two names, but he learned what it meant with the seniors in the same year. He knew that they were two Jinshi masters, so he quickly bowed and ran inside, forgetting to close the door.
Facing this interesting little gatekeeper, Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi couldn't help but laugh at each other. After a while, they could only hear the sound of talking from inside. Then, the black-painted door was opened. At least Shi Yuanxi, who had met Wang Fulin, recognized the young man in the front at first sight as the protagonist they were talking about before. The little gatekeeper just now followed closely, and was a middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Wang Fulin. Shi Yuanxi and Liu Gai Qian guessed that it was the master in the mouth of the little gatekeeper.
Sure enough, when they saw each other, Wang Fulin said apologetically: "I brought Wang Siming from Liaodong. I was originally born into a Han slave in the Jurchens. It was a pity that Governor Zhang fulfilled his wish because he made contributions outside Fushun Pass. He let him follow me, and was not very familiar with the worldly ways. If he had said anything before, please don't take it seriously, brothers, two of you." After he said that, he looked back and said with a smile, "That's my father."
Shi Yuanxi had only heard Liu Gai say about Wang Fulin's really "remarkable" father. Seeing that Wang Daoyun came forward to greet him unnaturally, the two of them had probably met Mr. Wang. Until Wang Daoyun quickly avoided it, Shi Yuanxi relied on the same year as Wang Fulin and wanted to get closer, so he deliberately asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, Lingzun does not allow you to see guests. What is this allusion?"
"Don't mention it, my father always thinks that I'm too good at making trouble." Wang Fulin smiled helplessly. Seeing that Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi's expressions were all subtle, he guessed that they might have discussed him like this behind their backs. He didn't care. After asking the two to enter, he spoke, "If I hadn't heard that the two of them had been in Huizhou Prefecture, and told my father that you are the Taiping Prefecture Promoter and the Ningguo Prefecture Promoter, I'm afraid he would continue to ban me from seeing people. By the way, you come here at this time, don't know what's going on?"
"Brother Wang, aren't you asking this knowingly?" Although Liu Gai was not the same year as Wang Fulin, he could not speak today if he didn't get closer. He became familiar with it. He said at the moment, "I heard that when the government office of She County was surrounded, the magistrate Xue wanted to throw out the handsome Jiamo as a scapegoat, but he was blocked by you. Then he even dispelled the chaotic people in a few seconds. If the dispute over the summer tax silk has a long history, no one knows the reason better than you, She people. We really can't figure it out, so we came to you to answer questions and answer questions."
Since he learned that the two referees came, not the expected jury, and after finding out about their resumes, Wang Fulin guessed that they would come to find him without any way to solve the problem. Now that the person is really here, he takes the person to the room on the second floor of the main hall of the front yard. Liu Gai and Shi Yuanxi were quite interested in this authentic pocket-sized Hui-style house. They even stayed up on the beauty surrounding the yard on the second floor for a while before entering the room. After sitting down, they heard from Wang Fulin that the complete version of the incident in Wuyuan, Xiuning, and even the origin of the dispute over the summer tax silk was clearer than they saw from the text.
The most important thing is that Wang Fulin did not completely behave in the private sector. Instead, from the changes in the summer tax and autumn grain quota in the two years of Jiachen and Yisi, he analyzed that the *10,000 silk silk tax in She County may be due to the fact that the summer tax and autumn grain tax in other counties increased a lot, but She County only reduced these two items. Of course, Wang Fulin also pointed out the strangeness of this matter. Huizhou does not produce silk silk, so why is the additional silk silk distributed? And the total amount is more than the silk tax in all prefectures and counties in Zhejiang Provincial Administration for a whole year, which is obviously unreasonable.
But whether it is Liu Gai or Shi Yuanxi, what needs to be done is to review the evil deeds in Wuyuan, Xiuning as soon as possible, and at the same time assist Huizhou Prefecture in coming up with a solution, not just the cause. Therefore, after the two looked at each other, Shi Yuanxi said sincerely: "Brother Wang, Brother Liu said before, you are famous in Huizhou Prefecture. Since that is the case, do you have any solution once and for all?"
"Of course not." Seeing that the two of them were very disappointed, Wang Fulin smiled bitterly, "If so, I will wait until today? Say the truth. Since this matter is no longer mixed, there are only two ways. Either you are fickle and see if the people below can be fooled; or you can tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to allow the court to appropriately reduce the exemption, at least give some explanation to the people of the six counties in Huizhou. Otherwise, although Wuyuan and Xiuning have settled down, it is because Wu Guan, the four county magistrates in Wuyuan, and Xiuning was scared by the scammers, otherwise this rebound would not be suppressed at all!"
Not to mention him, even in Zhang Juzheng's position, it is impossible to achieve true tax and service fairness!
