The old man had two or three drinks with me, and then suddenly four or five young night owl people came. The old man hurriedly put down his glass and got up to greet the guests.
I took a bite of the dish and lowered my head in thought.
That's right, the Guangxu old edition of Chun'an County Chronicle records the name of a person named Fang Weixun. He was a Jinshi in the late Ming Dynasty and later became a tax collector. If I didn't remember it correctly, this person was from Fuxi, and
Fuxi is very close to Fude.
County annals are not omnipotent, but sometimes there are clues to the historical truth hidden in county annals.
I immediately called Xiaoxuan.
"Xiaoxuan, go to my tent. I have a copy of the Chun'an County Chronicle in my bag. Go look for it quickly!"
Three minutes later, Xiaoxuan said, "I found it. Your book is really bad."
"How can it not be broken after a hundred or two hundred years? Turn to page 29! Look if there is a triple bridge painted on it!"
"yes."
"Look at the lower right corner! There is a person named Fang Weixun! It was this person who donated money to build the triple arch bridge! Look at the year and month marked at the back?"
Xiaoxuan whispered softly, "It was winter in the 17th year of Chongzhen. What happened? Where are you? Why did I hear a woman talking?"
"No! I'm alone in the hotel! Where is the woman? You heard wrong!"
I quickly motioned to Sai Xishi beside me to shut up.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
I said excitedly, "I lied to you, I'm a bastard!"
Sometimes I have to tell white lies to fool Xiaoxuan and then hang up the phone. I was so excited that I slammed my palm on the table.
In the winter of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen had been hanging on Meishan for several months!
The tax collection system of the Ming Dynasty was a "two-tax system", that is, it was collected twice a year, divided into summer tax and winter tax. Summer tax was paid gradually around June every year! Chongzhen was hanged in early April! So I can draw a conclusion after calculation.
!
Fang Weixunzuo
As a tax collector, he was probably hanged by Chongzhen on his way back to the court after collecting taxes, and the Ming Dynasty fell!
If the country is ruined, then who will give the taxes he collected?
The old man said just now that there has always been a legend of silver hidden in the brick tower in Laofude Village, and I immediately associated the two together.
Don't underestimate the legends in these villages. Many of them have basis and origin, such as the legend of the Ekou Saiwang Treasure.
In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, no money was collected for tax collection. Instead, taxes were collected in kind, such as pork, grain, cloth and silk, iron and bronze items. Whatever the family had, they were given to them, and then the government sold them into money.
This was done because they were afraid that if all the money was collected, the people would concentrate on selling grain, which would lead to a collapse in grain prices. In particular, the domestic silver production was seriously insufficient that year.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after the "Longqing Switch", a large amount of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty through maritime trade. It was also from this time that tax collection began to collect silver again. The government recast the broken silver handed over by the people in a unified furnace, and cast it into
Fifty-two large silver collars, this is what the industry calls serious snowflake silver, and the quality is excellent.
Under the background of that year, it is very possible that Fang Weixun received more than 100,000 taels of tax silver. After the Ming Dynasty died, he could only keep this batch of summer tax silver for himself.
He built bridges and paved roads, but in the end he couldn't spend all the money, so he buried the remaining official silver deep underground in the name of building a brick tower!
In addition, I also found that its name, Fude Tower, may also hint at a mystery.
Think about it, what is called "imparting virtue".
Fu means taxation! And De is homophonic to "de"!
A silver boat costs fifty taels, and one hundred thousand taels is two thousand. Even if it takes half of the time to repair the bridge and pave the way, there will still be one thousand left!
this
I have sold two silver boats before. The average price of one is around 70,000 to 100,000 yuan. I will calculate it as the lowest price of 70,000 yuan. One thousand boats is a full 70 million yuan. What if I really find it?
, then you will make a fortune!
"No, boss, I feel dizzy. I might be a little drunk!" Sai Xishi suddenly covered his head and leaned over.
I pushed him away and said loudly, "Don't lie to me? Don't pretend to be drunk with me! Your drinking capacity is no less than mine."
"Oh, I find that you are really boring as a man. When a girl is drunk, don't you know how to care about her?"
Sai Xishi smiled and said, "Boss, don't mix interests or emotions. I am a woman, and my physical needs also need to be solved by men. Besides, my nickname is Sai Xishi. It's not in vain. You really
Don’t you want to try my eight unique skills of Shaoxing?”
I was surprised and said, "What Kung Fu? Shaoxing Eight Jue Kung Fu? I think you are weak and weak. You can still do martial arts before you come out?"
Sai Xishi immediately rolled her eyes, looked at me and said, "You want to piss me off to death, right?"
"No, beauty, if I said anything wrong and offended you, I will apologize to you. Are you really good at martial arts?"
"You are so mad at me!"
"I don't want your 600,000 yuan! I will go back to Zhuji tomorrow! I want to tell the big boss about your fishing for cultural relics in Qiandao Lake!" .??.
"No! You must not do this!"
Sai Xishi snorted coldly, "Please."
I said with a cold face, "Just because I'm afraid of watermelon head doesn't mean I'm afraid of you as a woman. Don't bully me too much. It really pisses me off. I can make you unable to speak for ever."
Sai Xishi suddenly took out a mobile phone from her arms. She smiled and said, "I have recorded all the conversations between us since we met. I just went to the toilet and sent the backup to my friend. To remind you, there are
There is a conspiracy conversation between you and Li Xiangling."
My face turned dark instantly.
Watermelon Head is a ruthless man. Even Brother Tian told me not to mess with this person before. I am not strong enough to fight against this person now, so the principle I adhere to in dealing with things is to avoid him if I can.
Sai Xishi held her head high, pointed at me, and said boldly, "I'm going to settle on you today. I just want to play with your little earth. There is no man I want to fall in love with that I can't get."
My face turned from black to red, and then from red to white.
"Haha! Hahaha!"
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at your ignorance! Do you really think I have spent all these years in vain?"
I took out a mobile phone battery from my pocket and waved it in front of her eyes with a smile.
"you!"
"How did I guess that?"
"Beauty, who asked you to look at your bag all the time when you have nothing to do? It's hard not to make people suspicious."
At that time, most mobile phones were charged with batteries and a universal charger. In fact, from the moment she walked in the door, I was always on guard against this woman.
"Speaking of which, you are really good at martial arts. What are your eight unique skills?" I asked for the third time.
Sai Xishi said with a cold face, "There is a toilet over there. Come with me and I'll let you try my Eight Jue Skills. If you can hold on for more than five minutes without trembling, I will lose."
I laughed and said, "Actually, I know even if you don't tell me, this Eight Jue Kung Fu should be the Eight Jue Shou, right? It's Sanshou used in conjunction with Xingyiquan. It's called shooting, grabbing, splitting, lifting, slashing, bumping, and picking.
Take, there are also similar Sanshou used in Xingyiquan as well as Fanhuashou, Forty-eight Sanshou and Lianlian Shili Sanshou. Are these what I said correct?"
After listening to my words, Sai Xishi's face was instantly covered with frost.
She took a deep breath, looked at me and said, "Xiang Yunfeng, I can see that you are an idiot."
