The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

At the time of panic in the middle of Beijing, the household office was terribly disappointed.

Tang Bing Xia Bing looked at a copy of the accounts sent from various provinces and counties, but was a little dazed.

The amount of money at this year has dropped sharply compared to last year.

There are many reasons for this.

The biggest problem is that many prefectures and counties have begun to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes on a large scale.

Speaking of these two things are indeed the treasures of the country.

But for the household, it is harmful.

Because rice and wheat are easy to preserve, the imperial court levied a grain tax, that is, levied rice and wheat, and Jiangnan is the land of food for Daming. The storage of this rice is the key.

But because a lot of land was used to plant high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes, the output of rice was sharply reduced. Even if local officials tried to "exploit excessively," there was no grain. No grain, no grain. Do you ship a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes from the canal? ? I'm afraid that this thing will be rotten before I reach Tianjin Guardian.

The income of silver tax is also greatly reduced, the reason ... God knows.

The population of the Yellow Book in various prefectures and counties actually began to decrease more or less.

It can be said that the county with the best political achievements in the world can be equal to last year.

Although the book delivered now is just the tip of the iceberg, Xia Bing, a man who has been working in the household department all the time, knows it well. No wonder Li Xueshi is so anxious to get angry.

"Xia Langzhong ..." A servant came in a hurry: "The books of Dingxing County were sent by people."

This Xia Bing, the official Baihubu Langzhong, is responsible for the money.

As soon as the people in Dingxing County came, they couldn't help but hummed in their nostrils.

Dingxing County is a Beijing suburban county. The Jiangnan books are all sent. It is a suburban county, but it is too late.

Since the New Deal in Dingxing County, it has been very unpleasant to blend in with the Hubu. This Dingxing County has no rules at all.

Xia Bing knocked on the case with a finger, and said faintly: "Who sent it?"

"It's his bureau chief."

"What?" Xia Bing's face sank.

In general, these major events are all sent by the county or book.

Especially in the suburban counties, on the one hand, because the money is a major event, the county ’s importance should be shown, on the other hand, it is also because this is a rare opportunity for the officials to show their faces.

But this Dingxing County is interesting, actually let the officials, the officials, the officials, but in the end, not the officials without quota.

The book clerk said quickly: "I heard that the officials in Dingxing County had been sick, so they almost didn't let them intervene. The county magistrate Ouyang Zhi thought they were not familiar with county affairs. Remove them. "

"It's really a small demon in the temple. In a small county, it's because the chief officer and the sergeant lost their harmony. At this point, I see the official Jingcha, this Ouyang Zhi, I am afraid there is no good fruit to eat."

Xia Bing frowned. He had been famous for Ouyang Zhi for a long time, but it was unexpected that this man and the officials had reached a point of arrogance.

Xia Bing coughed and said, "Go and call the officer."

Tian Jing, the household secretary of Dingxing County, entered the household ministry carefully.

A small bureaucrat in his own area really did not send books by himself. In the Ming dynasty, officials were very different. Even if he was a bureaucrat, he was only a member of the bureaucrat. In Dingxing County, he was also a must. Person, but when he got here, he was not as good as the janitor.

So Tian Jing looked a little timid. He held the book in his hand. It seemed that the book was the only one, which gave him some courage. When he entered the book hall, he saw an official sitting above him, expressionless.

Tian Jing's subconscious salute: "The villain Tian Jing, sent to Dingxing County's money and grain book by the order of his emperor."

"Oh." Xia Bing narrowed her eyes, majestic, and picked up the teacup. She slowly drank the tea and said: "Since you were ordered, you seem to be the confidant of the county magistrate of Ouyang."

He didn't use you, but he used Ru, which is a written language, which seems more alienated.

As for asking whether the secretary was a confidant of the county magistrate, this obviously had a mocking tone.

Tian Jing said with a shame: "The emperor is wrong, the villain is ashamed."

"Oh, get the books." Xia Bing didn't talk to Tian Jingduo, this was just a local official, or a local, this person was not qualified to speak to him at all.

Tian Jing quickly and carefully delivered the book.

Xia Bing took it and opened it ...

"..."

Tian Jing coughed and explained: "Because Dingxing County adopted a new tax law, the accounting is different from the past ... so ..."

But these words, Xia Bing didn't listen to them.

Lying trough ...

Tian Jing felt that he was suffocating.

With the population of almost all counties and counties being lost, the population of Dingxing County is 78,000 new people. When it comes to the number of people, it is 239,000.

Manpower ... is precious wealth.

Everyone understands this.

Regarding the increase in the population of Dingxing County, Xia Bing is not unheard of, but ... this increase is terrible. The increase in population over a year is equivalent to the population of a county, and it is still a middle county.

New workshop ...

New businessmen ...

New store ...

Increase production in agriculture ...

What, agriculture has increased production?

Xia Bing's face was green.

Does n’t it mean that the rise of industry and commerce will mislead farmers?

Collect taxes ...

How much is coming?

Xia Bing opened his eyes wide and watched it carefully several times in a row. He doubted whether his eyes were blind, right ... how could this be possible.

1.37 million two!

…………

This is ... half of the one-year silver income of the Treasury!

The imperial court paid silver tax a year, and it was only more than three million two.

Although Dingxing County has no real tax and no food tax, those things are not worth mentioning to Dingxing County in previous years.

Xia Bing felt crazy.

He still didn't believe what he saw, right? It must have been miscalculated.

"Shangguan ... Shangguan ..." Tian Jing saw Xia Bing's ecstatic appearance and quickly cried out cautiously.

But Xia Bing turned a deaf ear, his eyes were red, he got up quickly, left his seat hurriedly, went to the ear room, turned over the box, and passed a tea kung fu before he patted a book. As soon as the book was opened, it was the book of Dingxing County in previous years.

Nine years of Hongzhi, four thousand six hundred and twenty-two two hundred and two silver, silk, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six pounds, grain, nine thousand two hundred and fifteen dan, silk, ninety seven horses, tea, three hundred and seventy Five catties ...

Xia Bing shivered violently.

This tax is not only increased tenfold, it is said to be thirty times, fifty times, one hundred times, everyone believes!

Of the 1.37 million two, 40% of them are reserved for Dingxing County, used to study, build roads, repay loans, build river embankments, and build bridges ... that is, five or six hundred thousand two hundred dollars are deducted.

Crazy ... In one county, they left five or six hundred thousand two hundred silver, which is too extravagant.

but……

What is the silver tax charged into the treasury?

Eighty-two thousand two hundred ...

He felt that his head was heavier than the lead injection. Eighty-two thousand, one district and one county, could almost be comparable to a chief executive.

He looked dignified, slammed the case, and said seriously: "Are these serious?"

"It has been calculated several times, and the money to be released will soon be sent to."

Xia Bing's complexion has changed.

This little official, it is impossible to dare to play in the hall, then ... this is true!

Tian Jing also looked at Xia Bing anxiously.

Xia Bing also stared at Tian Jing.

The two of them were facing each other, and at this moment, there were sparks.

After slowing down, Xia Bing's face gradually showed a smile, and the whole person became affable: "Your last name ..."

"Surnamed Tian."

Xia Bing smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Tian, ​​are you the heart of Ouyang County Commander?"

"Yes." Tian Jing said in his heart, he really didn't dare to be a confidant, but ... Ouyang County Commander believed in himself quite.

"Come, sit down and talk, and come to the Hubu, it's equivalent to coming to your own home, don't be restrained." Xia Bing is already turning over the river, 800,000, this is a big money and food household, all at once, Huhu Based on this book, the urgent issue was solved.

With this book alone, Ouyang Zhi is enough for his outstanding achievements, plus his unique identity. Although this person is just a small official, he can also be a seven-pin official in front of the prime minister.

"Are everyone dead? Some friends came from afar, and they were very happy. They were not ready to prepare tea for Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian came all the way.

Xia Bing scolded for a while, and then looked at Tian Jing, then he grinned. Whatever he thinks, this secretary, despite his humble status, has a peculiar appearance, unlike mortals: "Where does Mr. Tian stay?"

"Just nearby ..."

Xia Bing waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be in the inn anymore. Li Gong will call you shortly after coming soon. In the shack in this hall, tidy up a room for your husband and stay."

Tian Jing looked at Xia Bing flatteringly and said, "This ... villain ..."

Xia Bing interrupted: "Don't call yourself a villain."

Tian Jing showed some embarrassing colors ~ www.readwn.com ~ said: "Students ... under the orders of the emperor, I am afraid to visit the captain below."

Xia Bing immediately said: "Yeah, you can prepare horses and horses in the ministry, and the officer will also rush to see Li Gong immediately, you and Fang Duwei ... Fang Duwei ..."

Speaking of Fang Duwei, Xia Bing looked weird and paused before saying: "He is an amazing person, you have to serve carefully and keep your mind."

Tian Jing nodded busy: "Yes, yes, then the students leave first."

"Eh, go so soon? Come and come, don't drink a sip of tea?" Xia Bingxiao Yin Yin said: "Forget it, you are only afraid to stay in Beijing for a few days, choose a day, you and I will repeat it, I also happen to have official duties and need to report immediately. "

Tian Jing was sorrowful and thought to himself ... Beijing is the capital, and the officials in the ministry really are different. If they change their faces, they will change their faces. No wonder they can be big officials.
