Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 234

"Sun thief, Sun Chuanting was so angry that he almost fainted directly, and he shook his eyes for a long time, and he pointed at Song Qingshu's nose angrily and cursed just now.

"Despicable, shameless, villain! A real villain!"

"That's right, Song is a villain, otherwise he wouldn't have rebelled!" Song Qingshu admitted it openly again, and then said with a smile: "But in the eyes of everyone, Mr. Sun, you don't want to rebel now!" Is he also a villain? Tsk tsk, if this person is suppressed in the capital, even if he dies, the history books will probably leave such an account, Daixian Sun, who was favored by the emperor, conspired to rebel, and will be infamous for thousands of years!"

"you!"

Sun Chuanting was so angry that his eyes turned green again, and his fingers trembled. While he was speechless, Song Qingshu came out with a harsh tone.

"Even if Song is not as bad, Mr. Sun, do you think you are something good?"

"Sun Xing is sitting upright, how can you allow a villain like you to slander him?"

"I checked, and your family has reported more than 20 hidden households!"

Just now he was out of breath, but Sun Chuanting was choked speechless again by this sentence.

The official salary of the Ming Dynasty was the lowest in the previous dynasties. It was so low that some people were unwilling to be officials. In desperation, they introduced a preferential policy for officials. Officials and official officials could be exempted from tax.

In the beginning, this was just a policy of welfare officials. However, as the court became more corrupt, it was extended to welfare infinitely. After the children of the landlord family obtained fame, they concealed the taxes of other households in the local area, and turned over the taxes that should have been turned over to the country. Converted into a tribute paid by hermits to themselves.

At the beginning, the peasant households with hidden household registration may take advantage of it, but after a few generations, the original township party’s Enyi consumption is almost the same, and these hidden households have to be transformed into tenants. The land is registered by the government. Unable to win the lawsuit, the hermit can only be personally attached to the powerful landlord's family and be exploited.

This phenomenon was too common in the Ming Dynasty!It can be regarded as a big unspoken rule in the officialdom, but after all, it is not a legitimate thing. When Song Qingshu punctured it, Sun Chuanting's arrogance was extinguished by three points. There is a public heart, Sun Zhou, Sun Cai and other families are too poor. They have owed taxes for many years, and they can't even ask for their daughter-in-law. You can testify!"

"That's right, I know this too!" Nodding his head, Song Qingshu's tone broke out again.

"But you are just a village, and you have hidden the taxes of [-] people! You have caused the Ming Dynasty to lose [-] taxpayers. The court used soldiers for years, but the money was exhausted. Even the frontier soldiers owed them for several years or even more than ten years. , and because you hide your taxes, the government can’t collect enough taxes, so you have to adopt the Lijia compensation system. One family flees from famine, nine families share, nine families flee from famine, and the remaining family shares. In Shaanxi, I saw it with my own eyes. But there is no household registration, forcing the rest of the family to flee and abandon the wasteland under the heavy tax, thorns grow in every village, and every household is empty, plus this natural disaster, how did the refugees get up, just you gentry are forced, who is the world Big thieves? You are the biggest thieves in the world! The parasites of the Ming Dynasty!"

Song Qingshu preempted the explanation, and Sun Chuanting was dumbfounded when he immediately said that, as the ruling class, he had never thought about these things, or dared not think about them.

The first hand is to break through this guy's psychological defense line, making him doubt the court and belief that he has always insisted on. Seeing Sun Chuanting take a step back, Song Qingshu first gave himself a compliment in his heart, and then threw away with a stern face. Out of the second bomb.

"Mr. Boya, how many years do you think the Ming Dynasty will last?"

"Of course it's for generations to come!" Sun Chuanting said it without thinking, and Song Qingshu sneered again.

"Fart for thousands of years, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng thought so, Han Gaozu Liu Bang probably thought so, Tang Zong and Song Zu thought the same way, except for the death of the Song Dynasty by foreigners, which one is not a blow from the domestic exiles Falling apart? The Western Han Dynasty died in the green forest, the red eyebrows, the Eastern Han Dynasty died in the Yellow Turban, the Eighteenth Route of the Sui Dynasty fell apart, and Zhu Wen of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao’s generals surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and they were born as thieves like Laozi. It’s nice to hear, isn’t the Taizu of this dynasty the red scarf thief that the Yuan Tartars talked about?”

"Looking at today, when our Shaanxi rebels crossed the Yellow River, there were only 10,000+ people, and now it has doubled. This is only a province of Shanxi, with Henan in the south, and Huguang and Sichuan below. The map has lasted so long, just relying on your understanding, it is really possible for the official army to completely wipe out the rebel army in Shanxi? If one or two teams run out, even if there are only a few hundred people, it will not take long to pull back tens of thousands of people. Because you landlords and tyrants have forced the people to have no way out, plus this natural disaster, the Ming Dynasty will fall, and I am afraid that within the past ten years, it will be destroyed by refugees just like the past dynasties!"

"impossible!"

Sun Chuanting jumped up again like a cat stepping on its tail, roaring hysterically, for these traditional scholars, the imperial court is almost their belief, everything, Song Qingshu's prediction of the demise of the Ming Dynasty is no less than the end of the world to them .

"Natural disasters will pass in a short time, and today's diligent government is different from the past. The court will definitely survive!"

"Don't worry about natural disasters. I've read "Tui Bei Tu". Natural disasters will not stop for at least 30 years!"

Song Qingshu's words are pure nonsense. "Tui Bei Tu" mainly talks about the I Ching hexagrams. He can only understand the hexagrams. However, later generations have proved that the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, and the north was extremely cold, which was extremely unfavorable for crops. It grew up until the Kangxi period in the early Qing Dynasty. The influence of the Little Ice Age has not yet passed, but these days scholars are superstitious. For Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng's "Tui Bei Tu" is also extremely respected. It is also convincing. Sure enough, when Song Qingshu heard about "Tui Bei Tu", Sun Chuanting immediately felt as if he was mourning.

This is not over yet, Song Qingshu continued to talk indignantly with an angry look.

"That's right, you said that you are diligent today. Compared with Emperor Wanli who has not been in power for 30 years, Emperor Tianqi was deceived by Wei Zhongxian. He is considered a Ming emperor today. Unfortunately, without him, maybe our Ming Dynasty can last for another 20 years. With it He may die even faster."

"How do you say this?"

Sun Chuanting, who was tortured by Song Qingshu, jumped up again like the main debater, staring at Song Qingshu with red eyes, while Song Qingshu was careless, pointing to the east and west.

"No one, no burden, no long-term! If you are blind, you will only mess around!"

"Look at Yuan Chonghuan, the Governor of Liaodong. He agreed with the emperor to pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years when he took office! Let's not talk about whether Governor Yuan has any faults. Is it because he is ambitious and talented? It has only been three years since Chongzhen, and he has been promoted today! Qiandao All hell!"

"But today I personally promised to support Governor Yuan with all my strength. As a result, before Yuan Chonghuan took office, there was a rebellion against wages in Liaodong. The household department had no money, and today I still refused to pay internal funds. In the end, Yuan Chonghuan killed the island commander Mao Wenlong. Isn't that right? Are you interested in Mao Wenlong's sea trade with North Korea and Shandong?"

"There is also Yang He, the governor of the three sides. When the platform summoned him, Yang Gong himself said that he was not that kind of material. In the end, he still forced Yang He to take office. In the end, Yang Hegong proposed a plan to appease him. Today, he also patted his chest and fully supported it. , I once said that a thief is also my son! Now what, I want the horse to run, but I don’t give the horse grass, Yang Hekong is guarding this big furnace in Shaanxi, and the poor are starving to death, who will call for peace? ? At the critical moment, today he changed his mind again, what he said is farting, and he put all the responsibility on Yang He, and sent Yuan Zhou to be assigned!"

"Look now, who is in the cabinet now? Wen Tiren, talented is talented, a villain who is even more villainous than Lao Tzu! Selfishness is extremely selfish, and he has a good eye for party disputes. Wang Yingxiong is as famous as a bear. One, who only clings to Wen Tiren, finally Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Longxi were squeezed out, Zhou Yanru is not a good person, at least he can do some practical things, and he also returned home, so he doesn’t know people well, Are you blind or what?"

"This is just the beginning. Believe it or not, then Lu Xiangsheng, Zheng Chongjian, Liu Ce, Xiong Wencan and a lot of other people will be unlucky. Except for the ability to change governors and fiddle around, they can't do anything today. It's not as good as Wanli When the emperor is reigning!"

Sun Chuanting was completely dumbfounded at this time, not only because Song Qingshu said so bloody, but also because he knew everything about the affairs of the court like the palm of his hand!Liao can be flattened in five years!This is what he found out from his colleagues with great difficulty. How did he, a rebel leader, know? Whether he knew it or not, what Song Qingshu said was reasonable, and every word he said was in his heart. For the current court, there are many things He thought so too.

"The foundation of the Ming Dynasty is still there, and it will never, never perish within ten years!"

Although he was still stubborn, listening to that tone, Sun Chuanting's faith in his heart had almost collapsed, but even so, Song Qingshu cruelly sprinkled another big grain of salt on his wound.

"The Tang Dynasty was destroyed by refugees, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed by foreign enemies. What is our Ming Dynasty now? There are refugees inside, and there are Eastern captives outside. Both are occupied. Look at the three years of Yang He and Chongzhen. You know that a town in Shaanxi has entered the king of Jingqin, and pirates in Shaanxi Fengqi, believe it or not, in two years time, when the imperial court is fighting fiercely against our rebel army, Donglu will still have to step in, and in the generation from Shanxi to Beizhili, the Ming Dynasty is already dying. Now if you continue to see two ends like this, you will die within 12 years!"

"So there's no hope at all?"

His eyes were straightened, Sun Chuanting finally couldn't hold it anymore, and sat down on the ground, but finally, Song Qingshu was regarded as a good person, and shook his head again.

"and also!"

"What hope?" Climbing up, Sun Chuanting asked in surprise.

"You! Me!" Pointing to his face and then to his own nose, Song Qingshu said seriously...
