Zhao Shangshu was sitting, and the two inspectors were standing.
After reprimanding the two subordinates who had just met, Zhao Shangshu ordered with a straight face: "Shen Xun, you hold my warrant and invite Zhao Wenhua, Minister of Industry, and Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang, to come over two days later tomorrow." conversation."
He also ordered Wang Yongji: "Wang Xunyan, you take my token and invite five famous local households and ten ordinary people. I will finish seeing these people within five days." When in doubt, he waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Wang Yongji said in a soft voice: "Whether my lord will move to the post house, it will be more convenient there anyway."
Silence also echoed: "Yes, my lord."
"No need." Zhao Zhenji snorted and said, "It's full of officials from all over the world. If something like this happened in the southern capital, I have no face to live there."
?The two were bored, so they had no choice but to retreat sullenly. When they came out of the inn, they looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly when they were far away.
Silently said softly: "The old master is so arrogant, asking Zhao Shilang to come to see him, isn't it just looking for trouble?"
"It's good to have such an adult." Wang Yongji spread his hands and said with a smile, "Just do your job with all your heart, and don't worry about the rest."
Shen Mo shook his head again and again, then bid farewell to him, and each died.
Mo Mo went to Lu Garden first, and only found out after asking. It turned out that Zhao Shilang had gone out to soak in the hot spring, and when he asked when he would return, the housekeeper said, "I can't say for sure. It depends on your health." Actually, everyone knows it. Not Zhao Shilang's body, but the progress of the situation.
It seemed that Zhao Wenhua was determined to stay out of the matter, and Shen Mo had no choice but to go to Hu Zongxian. Hu Zhongcheng hadn't gone missing, and it was impossible to disobey the imperial envoy's wishes, but Mo Mo knew that Zhao Zhenji would not get anything useful from him He knows Hu Zongxian too well. Although he is not as old as Zhao Zhenji, he is more cunning than Zhao Zhenji.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure enough, after the conversation with Hu Zongxian was over, Zhao Zhenji found the silence, and said with a very ugly face: "You are the inspector and supervisor of the army in Zhejiang, and you have the responsibility to supervise the military and government of the whole province, please tell me your opinion on this matter. "
Just as Shen Mo was about to speak, Zhao Zhenji raised his hand and said, "Don't be clich¨¦d, don't be perfunctory, I'm not easy to fool."
Only then did Shen Mo know that Hu Zhongcheng had just used "clich¨¦s" and "perfunctory" Zhao Butang just now, no wonder the old master looked as if he had lost money. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he reported: "This time, His Majesty ordered the Ministry to thoroughly investigate this matter, nothing more than to know three things, who did it, what is the purpose, and who should bear the main responsibility."
Zhao Zhenji nodded, and listened to him silently: "Now in Zhejiang, there are different opinions. Some people say that Xu Hai, who suffered a big loss in Wangjiangjing, is taking revenge and wants to get back; Headless flies hit the road" He paused, and said in a low voice: "There is another theory that is very popular It is said that it is the fault of 'Tibian', some big families paid for dead men, Put eye drops on that guy."
The central government of the Ming Dynasty had very little finance, and local difficulties had to be resolved by the local governments themselves. Hundreds of thousands of anti-Japanese troops gathered in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The tools cost countless silver taels, which have already far exceeded the normal fiscal revenue.
They had no choice but to increase additional taxes, but the common people in Zhejiang already paid 1.3% per mu for soldiers in addition to the land rent tax. In addition to the collection of other taxes and duties and the strict sea ban, every family is already clean. Thought to continue. If there is further exploitation, it will undoubtedly cut off the people's livelihood and be forced to join the ranks of Japanese pirates.
But the battle had to be fought, and the salary could not be owed. There must be an immediate method to ensure the continuous flow of military supplies for the anti-Japanese war. Raising salaries for the army was Zhao Wenhua's main task besides supervising the battle, but he obviously didn't have the means to solve this huge problem, so he threw this hot potato to Hu Zongxian without any accident, and asked him to figure out a solution.
In desperation, Hu Zongxian had no choice but to come up with a method called "Timing", which is to classify the people into ten classes according to their wealth and poverty, and then start taxing from the richest class. If the tax paid by the rich cannot meet the needs, then the next richest class will be levied downward, and so on.
To be honest, this method is very suitable. After all, everyone knows that 90% of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is concentrated in the hands of less than one adult. ?
But those big households with huge wealth are not willing, they have been used to it for more than a hundred years.??It is unacceptable to suddenly let them take the big money on a day when they don't pay taxes or taxes.
It is said that these people are all powerful and connected with each other, so they cannot be messed with or touched. But now it is unusual, and everything is focused on fighting the Japanese. The original excuses used to attack officials, such as "killing without authorization", "arbitrary" and even "dictatorship", can all be forgiven, at least temporarily.
The local government, on the other hand, can hold up the big hat of "Tongwa", and see if anyone dares not listen to the greeting, and then put it on with a plop, guaranteeing that your family will be ruined and everyone will be killed, and no one will be able to save you. During the ebb and flow, the local officials have occupied an unprecedentedly strong position in the face of these big households.
As a result, the "Timing Law" was implemented, and the big households had to obediently pay. After such additional distribution, the Zhejiang First Division collected an additional 400,000 taels of silver in the first half of this year alone, while Nanzhili was bigger and richer and suffered less, and this figure reached 600,000 taels. The source of military expenditure was barely guaranteed, enabling the war to last for a long time.
However, in the minds of big households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the two names of Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian have undoubtedly become Papigui and Guibaopi, and their relationship has long since ceased to be harmonious, which is why there are such rumors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mo Mo already knew about Zhao Zhenji's private visit in Weibo, so he must know about it, so he didn't hide it for Zhao Wenhua at all.
After hearing the silent statement, Zhao Zhenji's complexion became a little better and he said: "You are honest." Then he asked in a deep voice: "Which possibility do you think?"
Silently shook his head and said: "These are just rumors. Without enough evidence, any judgment is baseless."
Zhao Zhenji's eyebrows trembled slightly and said: "I must let you say one?"
Moment still said calmly: "That depends on what result Zhao Butang wants to see."
"Don't you have your own opinion?" Zhao Zhenji snorted displeasedly.
"No lower officials." Shen Mo said softly, "The lower officials are also very chaotic."
Zhao Zhenji never came up with any valuable clues from Shen Mo's mouth, and only let him go out.
When the door was closed, Zhao Zhenji mocked as if talking to himself: "This is the future prime minister that you Tan Zili said? The talent of the country?"
The curtain in the inner room was raised, and a middle-aged official in his thirties and forties with a dignified appearance came out and said with a nonchalant smile, "Don't you think that his performance is wonderful?"
"Guawazidi, a wonderful batch." Zhao Zhenji scolded: "You're only less than twenty years old, and you're like an old bureaucrat who doesn't have oil and salt."
That Tan Zili was Tan Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, who was inextricably linked with Zhao Zhenji, so Mr. Zhao recruited him here with a letter.
Tan Lun sat down next to Zhao Zhenji, smiled and said, "If he doesn't say that, I'll be really disappointed."
Zhao Zhenji scolded with a smile: "Who are you speaking for?"
Tan Lun smiled, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dazhou, I really feel that this time, you should make big things small and small."
Zhao Zhenji's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned and said, "Zili, have you been dragged into trouble by them?"
Tan Lun said seriously: "Brother Dazhou, please rest assured, there is no need to doubt my integrity, Tan Zili."
"Then you how can you speak for Yan Dang?" Zhao Zhenji asked, knocking on the table.
"I didn't speak for the strict party, I was proceeding from the overall situation." Tan Lun said calmly: "Zhejiang can't afford any civil strife, so I don't agree with you taking advantage of the problem to defeat Hu Zhongcheng because he is the best leader in the anti-Japanese war By."
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Zhenji said angrily, "Who do you think I am, Zhao Mengjing? Don't I know that everything is about the overall situation and stability?" He slapped the table hard, turned his head sadly and said: " Have you ever thought about why I live in this small inn? Why do I have to do everything in private?"
Tan Lun hurriedly apologized: "Little brother speaks unscrupulously, Brother Dazhou, please don't take offense."
Zhao Zhenji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have to do this, and said in a low voice: "If Hu Zongxian does well, of course I won't make trouble, but does he really have to do well? Don't say anything else, just talk about this, this method of extra mentioning, Is it true that all the people¡¯s money collected is used as military pay?" He said with a sneer: "Don't forget, I am the servant of the transfer department, and I have already settled the general account for you in Zhejiang. According to your current soldiers Expenses. The normal tax burden of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, plus the 'waste' and 'provision', is enough for 300,000 troops to continue fighting."
"Excuse me, Mr. Tan, why do you still tell me that the subordinates can only be paid half the salary, and the military rations are often difficult to sustain?" Zhao Zhenji asked with piercing eyes¡ª¡ª
