Chapter 148 Double Momentum
In the She County expropriation and transportation warehouse, when the grain chiefs of the 15th district gathered together again and started collecting grain in their respective houses, they were deserted from the last time. The inner leader brought two or three puppies and cats, and this time, the endless stream of people and grain trucks almost blocked the gate of the expropriation and transportation warehouse! Each big grain chief brought enough helpers, and there was a long queue in front of each room, and the abacus inside was trembling. Even if the grain chief who used to be the most fond of weighing wheat when collecting grain, or the silver gangster, was not at all concerned about filling his pockets.
If Huizhou Prefecture is really sent to send white grains, the first thing that is unlucky will be their grain leaders! Because at that time, they will be the one responsible for going north to deliver the white grains to the capital!
The village chief and the villagers also did not dare to treat this year's summer tax sloppy. When several familiar village chiefs lined up to pay the summer tax, they were still whispering in groups of three or three. When they talked about the rumors that they had been heard in some places before, they had to bear it until the end and forced Ye County Zun to handle the matter of equalizing the summer tax silk, they couldn't help but sigh.
"If you continue to force this, you will have to add some white grains to everyone's heads, in addition to some money or some silver, you will also have to add the white grain! In the past, the white grain was not only needed to select good rice, but also if you can't pay it all, not only will the grain be urged, but all the three yamen runners will go to the countryside to urge the ranks. At that time, the chaos will be turbulent in the four towns."
"Old brother, I'm young. I only heard that this white grain is a job that all prefectures and counties in Nanzhili are afraid of, but I don't know what happened. Can you tell us?"
"What's going on? I tell you, whether it's Ye County Master or those who are officials, they have to give Lu Rice every year. This Lu Rice is white grain. It also supplies the grandfather and the empress in the palace. Of course, it needs top-notch rice. When the white grain is collected, it will be screened and then screened, and then selected. One stone of white grain, four or five stones of ordinary white rice cannot be exchanged. Moreover, I heard that in the early Ming Dynasty, the grain transporter was transported to the capital together in the Long March, but later an official said that the conscript was a waste of money and the grain transporter was responsible for the transportation. So it was changed to the grain chief who was responsible for the transportation, and the court subsidized the silver and asked the grain chief to hire people himself."
"Hold people with subsidies? Isn't that good?"
The old village chief, who was pestered and explained, nodded when he saw a few young villagers. The older generation sneered, and he shook his head and said, "You don't know how much subsidies can actually fall into the pockets of the lower-minded people? On a canal, there are countless officials who can manage the grain chief, and they are hindering everywhere, extorting taxes everywhere, and when the white grain is transported, the court paid half of the fee first, and then half, but none of them could actually get into the hands of the grain chief. The cost of transporting one stone of white grain to the capital is up to eight stones! Therefore, once the white grain is distributed, no matter how big the family belongs to the family, they will most likely lose their money."
Everyone was worried at this moment. This was the situation of relocation after the collection, but if the collection was not complete, God knew that the grain chief who was forced to the dead would cause anything in the village? Compared with the troubles at that time, it was better to grit the teeth and pay the summer tax first, and avoid this level before talking about it!
"Huh, who are those people?"
With this shock, a group of village chiefs and villagers looked up, but they saw that the people who maintained order in the sacrificial warehouse today were not three yamen runners, but seven or eight men. These people were almost all over forty years old. Some had scars on their faces, some had inconvenient legs, and even half of the sleeves were empty. However, these people who looked disabled had an indescribable aura while walking. While people were speculating, Wu Lichang from Qianqiuli coughed heavily. Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled proudly.
"Don't you know? This is the famous Qi family army on the southeast coast! I heard that they delivered a letter to Mr. Nanming on the order of General Qi. After being disabled, they could not go into battle. There were no people in their hometown. They planned to find a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers and spend the rest of their lives peacefully. As a result, after arriving in She County, they heard that the reputation of the county supreme Qingtian, and Mr. Nanming in Songmingshan was familiar with each other. They heard that our Huizhou advocated reading the most, so they planned to live here."
What happened in Songmingshan before had not spread throughout the four towns and eight miles so quickly. For a moment, the villagers who were waiting to pay the Xia tax suddenly became turbulent. Almost all the villagers here who had never left Huizhou had only heard of the Qi family army and had never witnessed it. For a time, except for those who were queuing up to pay the food, Qi Liang and others enjoyed the treatment of being watched again. Although no one dared to come forward to chat with him, those awe-inspiring eyes were still as real. The seven or eight great men were initially embarrassed to see him, but they heard the good men coming from time to time from time to time from the crowd, and the real men gradually smiled.
In the Jizhen Army, the general used various means to secure the army. The people under his rule had never suffered from Japanese pirates. How could he worship the Qi family army like the people here?
Outside the expedition and sub-department, Wang Fulin, who was sitting in the official sedan chair with Ye Junyao again, was fanning the wind with his palm fan. Today was the first day he told Qi Liang to pull half of the people in the Qi family's army to the expedition and sub-department. He had originally planned to come and have come to see it, but who knew that he was caught by the county magistrate. Anyway, he hates sitting in the sedan chair the most now, especially on this hot day.
"By the reputation of these Qi family troops, if there is another chaos in the garrison, this messy conflict can be avoided!"
Seeing Ye Junyao expressing a very satisfied expression while saying, Wang Fulin wiped his sweat and explained further: "Today I told Qi Baihu to send people here not only to maintain the order of the summer tax collection, but to let everyone know that these Qi family troops were left because the county magistrates manage the whole place and admire the reading atmosphere of Huizhou Prefecture. This is why they stayed, and they would bring their wives and children here to settle down in the future."
Ye Junyao has become a little used to his reputation soaring recently, but he still couldn't help but feel a little fluttering when he heard this. Finally, he was a little self-aware and immediately asked worriedly: "Will such a statement make people feel fake?"
"The county master, although the six counties in Huizhou are indeed full of books, in the end, there are still a few people who read and recognize words. The villagers only look at what they see, so how could they think so much? Besides, it is only allowed to increase their reputation under the banner of equal summer tax silk, and not allow county masters to create momentum. There is no such reason in the world! What's more, this is not just for the county masters to build momentum. When a hundred Japanese pirates invaded Huizhou, swept across Nanzhili, and defeated the government army, the people of Huizhou empathized with it. Wu Lichang took the lead in encouraging Qi Baihu and the others would soon feel the sense of respect. They have been away from the southeast for a long time. This respect can allow them to better integrate into She County."
Poor Ye Daxianzun is not a psychology student. Even if he has the time to understand his boss's psychology, he still has no time to understand his boss's psychology. How can he still have time to touch the people's hearts? So, he can only listen at this time.
"Although the Qi family army must be said to have nothing to say when fighting, bravery and fierceness do not necessarily mean noble character. If such people settle in She County, if they cannot put enough shackles on them, then they will lose control. The unlucky ones will be the ones who are entrusted by Mr. Nanming and the lord of the county. Therefore, after enjoying the respect of people, I will take them deep into the village and appreciate the daily life of the people of Huizhou. In this way, the barriers between them as foreigners can be eliminated. Under the countless eyes, Qi Baihu will unconsciously make them behave like heroes."
Otherwise, how dare he use these people who cannot know the truth?
Ye Junyao was completely convinced by Wang Fulin, but he still asked the last question he was worried about: "But if you are helping with patrols like today, if you don't give a lot of money, are they really willing?"
Of course, Wang Fulin would not say that he was still in charge of Qi Jiguang's private money, plus the total of 1,000 taels of silver from these people. Therefore, at this moment, Wang Fulin only told Ye County Zun that these generals and soldiers were willing to contribute because of their military achievements and wealth. As for this series of actions, he wanted to make the people recognize these old soldiers, and then use the name of the Qi family army to do his own private affairs. At this moment when the summer tax was still at the final race, he was not ready to tell Ye County Zun immediately.
Even so, Ye Junyao was still relieved. He took off his black hat and wiped his sweat, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, I have always been relieved to do things. Since that's the case, as you said, I will ask the Liuhe, the Household Association, to step up its efforts to finalize the regulations for the collection of Lili. Once this year's summer tax is over, it will be implemented immediately, so as to avoid being constrained again and again!"
Previously, in the Huizhou Prefecture, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue Commission sent white grain according to the summer tax payment this year. After this matter was made public, all six counties have taken urgent action like frightened rabbits. The scene of fighting in the tax collection and treasury was almost extinct. In the She County Department of Revenue, the famous former Qi family army was in charge, and the people who caused trouble did not dare to stand out. In just a few days, the summer tax in She County has received 70%, which is incomparable to the efficiency of previous years. Faced with such a situation, Wang Fulin couldn't help but smack the huge effect of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue's deviant sword.
No matter whether this matter was led by Wang Daokun or the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue had this intention, he only knew that this kind of thing was only this time, and it would be impossible to use the same trick again next time! Therefore, he had to use the Qi family army that came to his door quickly, and there would be no store after passing through this village!
