Since the previous dynasty, the land tax was set by the court, but because farmers paid in copper coins, local officials had to pay it in silver to the court. The difference here is the cost of fire. Because of this, there are too many operable aspects.
Naturally, there are more tricks.
For example, for those with a good reputation, there are farmers from the same village who take the initiative to become tenant farmers, just to pay less taxes, have more livelihood options and security. Ordinary landowners are no better than the wealthy families who owned manors in the past, and they do not dare to force the tenant farmers too much, otherwise the tenant farmers will resist
Tenants and landlords sometimes lose their families and people.
Another example is the most common one, where the price difference between copper and silver set by the imperial court and private prices is exploited. The exact amount of fire consumption is just a matter of words for officials. Even the magistrates and prefects can do it, not to mention the governor of Liangjiang.
One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven with the courtesy of Chen Pengnian. Why is this old prickly man so annoying!
"Gadu is only drafting this proposal tentatively. Don't get excited, Mr. Cang." Cao Yin said with a smile, "However, this proposal is indeed slightly inconsistent with the emperor's purpose of not disturbing the people." He glanced at Ga Li and Chen Pengnian and said,
"Even if it needs to be increased, how much and how to increase are all questions."
"That's all." Seeing everyone's intentions, Gali seemed to disagree with this, so he said, "Let's talk about this, but there is something else. The Longtan Palace is about to be completed, but it still needs to be finished. This is a big thing, and there must be someone.
A diligent, honest and capable person should take on this responsibility. Magistrate Chen, what do you think?"
Traveling to the palace and other matters are all troublesome tasks. If you leave it to Chen Pengnian, he will be entangled in the Longtan palace. Don't come out and get in the way!
Galli knew what he was doing, so he sent Chen Pengnian away and suppressed Zhang Boxing. Then Cao Yin would never go against him. When the time came to drag him into trouble, would he still be able to complain to the emperor?
Governor Gao had a bad idea. He felt that he had reasonably estimated the relationship between Cao Yin and Kangxi, but he still underestimated it. When Cao Ziqing saw that selling copper could make money, he gave it to Kangxi, saying that he was a slave of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
, had the obligation to help the emperor make money, and said he wanted to sell copper.
Kangxi directly approved him a hundred thousand taels of silver with a stroke of his pen. But when the business reached saturation, there were too many people involved, and the profits were not as profitable as before. Cao Yin said again that this business was useless and he didn't want to do it anymore.
Kangxi also promised him not to do this business and to concentrate on being an official.
In short, Gali was really wrong. Even if Cao Yin really ate his Hongmen Banquet, it would not prevent him from selling it to the emperor while eating and smashing the pot.
Governor You was dreaming that Cao Yin's memorial had been delivered to Kangxi, the imperial chariot. At this moment, the imperial chariot was still at the governor's office of Jining River. Before Kangxi received the memorial, he was arranging for the prince to follow him to inspect the river embankment.
"I want you to inspect the river embankment. Which of you is interested in going?" Kangxi added, "But you have to stay here for a while and then go to Jiangning."
Yinzhi and Yinzhi leaned back in unison, and Prince Zhi glanced at each other. Their body language indicated everything. This was resistance. Neither of them wanted to go. As soon as this thought passed by, Yinzhi stood up and said, "
My son and I are willing to go."
"Oh," unexpectedly, Kangxi agreed immediately, and asked again, "Who else is willing to go?"
"My son is willing to go!" Yinzhen stood up and said, "My son is willing to share the worries of the emperor and stay behind to inspect the river embankment."
Seeing that Kangxi nodded with approval, Babeile Yinsu also stood up and said, "Khan Ama, I have never done the job of river worker, and I am worried that I can't do it well. But I am willing to learn, and I also ask Khan Ama to help me."
I give you a chance!"
Wu Beile never solicits for errands. He will do it if it is given to him, and he will not take the initiative to ask for it if it is not given to him. And Seven Beile Yinyou has never been the favorite chosen by Kangxi, so when Lao Ba stepped forward, the most cheating one was San Beile Yinyou. Well.
Yinzhi wished he could kick Yinzhu to death. This bastard obviously wanted to pick up a glamorous job and didn't want to leave Khan's side. Now he would come out and say good things! But as an elder brother, he would be able to follow behind his younger brother. Bianpidian said that she was also willing to share the worries of the emperor?
Sanbeile’s face is not so worthless!
Kangxi looked at the silent prince and several different sons, sighed in his heart, and finally said, "Just Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, you stay, the others go back and prepare to continue my southern tour with me."
The prince silently led his brothers to bow and leave, thinking in his heart that this seemed to be the first time that he had become "someone else."
"Amma!"
Later, Hongyu saw Yinti in the tent and asked worriedly, "Ama, do you want to stay here?"
"Don't stay!" Yinti lifted him up and said to Su Rige, who was also looking worried. "The emperor asked Ama to tell your fourth uncle what to pay attention to. I am still responsible for the guard, so don't worry. "
When Yinti stood up, he had already planned. If Kangxi asked him to stay, he would keep the children, at least Su Rige and Hongyu. Honghan could set off with the large army.
"Amma, just now Hong Han and I and several younger brothers were riding horses. We saw the third uncle and the eighth uncle coming out of the imperial tent. The eighth uncle seemed to want to say something, but the third uncle left without listening." Su Rige said, "He seemed to be angry. As if."
Prince Zhi smiled in his heart. With the virtue of Lao San, it is inevitable to be angry. And the more "sensible" Lao Ba appears, the more he is compared to his ignorant brother. He smiled and said, "Of course your uncles will also quarrel, but it's just You don’t need to ask too much about elders’ matters.”
"Amma knows that you are bored in the camp. When you get to Jiangning, Amma will ask your guards and maids to accompany you out for a walk." Yinti made a wish to Surig and said, "Amma will take you out personally if she is free. Jiangning has beautiful gardens.”
Su Rige smiled and said, "Thank you so much, my daughter, Amma! I also ask you, if Mafa doesn't ask the emperor's grandson to accompany him, can Hong Han and Hong Yu go with him?"
The second elder brother, Hongyu, gestured behind him, saying that his sister is awesome! She even wanted to take them out to play in an upright and blatant manner. His eldest brother also pursed his lips and smiled, and told Ama with loyalty that their brothers and When you go out with your sister, you will protect her!
They all planned to go out for fun together. Yinti was not a die-hard reader. He just told them that when they arrived in Jiangning, they had to practice calligraphy every day. "There is no need to write a post, just write about the books you have read recently. Write an article every other day, if you are yourself Amma doesn't mind if she wants to write more. But when I go out for fun and come back, I have to ask questions about folk customs."
Yinti smiled and watched as the three children went from being happy, to shocked, worried, and finally happy again. That's right, it's always good to go out and play no matter what. As for what the problem is, we won't talk about it until the time comes.
Prince Zhi would not trouble his children with any difficult questions. He just hoped that each of his children would not imitate Emperor Daoguang and only stay in his own "imagination" about simplicity and caring for the people.
In short, he doesn't want his child to be a fool and be deceived!
Education is a big problem, Kangxi also lamented in the tent, Baocheng looked on coldly, Yinzhi was greedy, and Yinzhu was wise enough to protect himself... Long gave birth to nine sons, but I didn't expect that this was too many tricks.
Finally, there is Baoqing who does his duty, Yinzhen is brave enough to do his job, Yinqi is honest and kind, and although Yinyou wants to make progress, he is not a fool. If they are all so full of tricks, I really have to wonder where I went wrong with their upbringing.
Kangxi had not finished worrying about his son, so he called Dai Zi to inquire about water transportation and river affairs, and told Sibeile Yinzhen to stay for inspection. Before the matter was finished, Cao Yin's secret report was in the hands of his old man, Chen Pengnian. The news of the slight conflict with Garli made Kangxi frown.
When a person serves as a local official, he causes local turmoil once, and causes the same problem twice. When the trouble breaks out the third time, Kangxi is a scornful person, and he will understand that the problem of Garli is not small. In fact, Garli is a rule. Kangxi knew very well what a vicious dog he was.
He took up a pen and wrote a reply to Cao Yin, "What you said is true. I warned Garli that I would not disturb the people..." After writing a long paragraph, he asked people to send it out. The emperor sighed and hoped that this southern tour would be carried out. All goes well, local officials, please don't trouble me at this time.
For Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye, God was always trying to create obstacles for him, and the things he prayed for were often disappointed.
Ga Li asked Chen Pengnian to go to the palace in Longtan. Zhang Boxing and Cao Yin were worried that something was wrong. Sure enough, just when Kangxi was about to arrive in Jiangning to review the navy, something happened to Chen Pengnian.
"Why is the governor impeaching Duke Cang?" Cao Yin asked anxiously, "Is it inappropriate for the Longtan Palace? No, I went to see it two days ago. Duke Cang personally led people to transport earth and stones. It is all completed in front of you!"
Zhang Boxing sighed, "It's not for this. Galli also knew that the Longtan Palace was fine, so he participated in the erosion of the Longjiang Customs Bank in Cangzhou in the past few years, and also blamed the customs officials for no reason, saying that he salted and enforced the annual regulations of various merchants. What's even worse is that Yes, he, he said that the royal things that Cangzhou prepared for the emperor in Longtan Palace were dirty, and now he has been deprived of his position and imprisoned!"
"It doesn't matter, don't worry." Cao Yin clasped his hands and said immediately, "The emperor will arrive in Jiangning tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will write a secret note and hand it over immediately. He said that Galli seemed a little regretful when he saw Chen Pengnian completing the Longtan Palace. Wait for the emperor to come. Yeah, you said the same thing when he asked!"
Zhang Boxing was confused at first, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, don't worry Ziqing, I will do as you say!"
"Canggong is in prison, and the emperor is here on a tour to the south. He will definitely not listen to all the Karma rituals. I heard that Cheng Rongruo is accompanying him, and the emperor also called Zhang Ying, a bachelor. They will not show favoritism to the emperor. Literally." Cao Yin said at the end and exhaled, "At least we can't let him suffer."
"Thanks to Ziqing Zhouxuan." Zhang Boxing clasped his fists and bowed his hands, "I would like to thank you on behalf of Cangzhou."
When the imperial chariot was about to arrive in Jiangning, the prefect of Jiangning was imprisoned, which was really a disappointing thing. Kangxi received the report, read it and handed it to the prince, asking, "From the prince's perspective, how should Chen Pengnian be dealt with?"
After reading it, Yinreng replied, "My son thinks that Chen Pengnian's move is very disrespectful and he should be punished according to crime!"
The so-called disrespect simply means treating the emperor without courtesy. To explain it in detail, it means that the behavior of the ministers poses a threat to the personal safety of the emperor or the imperial envoy, or is disrespectful or seriously inappropriate.
If the royal items prepared for the emperor are dirty, it would definitely be considered disrespectful.
But Kangxi did not rejoice and thought that the prince was really my good son. He was always filial to me, so he wanted to kill the person who was disrespectful to me!
On the contrary, the emperor stared at the prince with deep eyes. This memorial was just one-sided words from Ga Li. Why did the prince make such a decision so quickly?
"I have already asked Zhang Ying and Cheng De to come over. Your Majesty, please listen to what they have to say."
Zhang Ying had already retired as an official, but during Kangxi's southern tour, in line with the purpose of "I will never forget my old ministers", the old man was still asked to accompany him. At this moment, while waiting for the announcement outside the imperial tent, Chengde told the matter in a low voice
Got Zhang Ying.
So, when Kangxi asked, "I am discussing with the prince about the honest officials in Jiangnan. Who do you think the honest officials in Jiangnan should be?"
Zhang Ying's courtesy name was Dunfu, and the emperor's nickname for him was also to show his closeness. Zhang Ying said, "I think there are many capable ministers and officials in Jiangnan at this time, but when it comes to integrity, it is Chen Pengnian."
"What do you think Rong Ruo thinks?" Kangxi ignored the prince's expression and asked, "You have accompanied me on the southern tour several times. I have also ordered you to contact Jiangnan scholars. You have been in the court for many years. What do you think?"
"I also believe that the most honest official in Jiangnan is Chen Pengnian."
Chengde spoke firmly, "I still remember that Chen Pengnian built the Xiangyue Lecture Hall, preached the Holy Edict on the first day of the lunar month, and named it "Tianyu Dingning". The purpose was to inform the people of the emperor's good governance and will, and share their blessings. However,
Because the lecture hall is located in a small area, some people have said that it is disrespectful, but I have never seen impeachment while in court."
"I am not the king of Jie and Zhou. As a court official, I will only be happy if Chen Pengnian educates the people." Kangxi laughed. "Is it disrespectful to say that it is disrespectful because of the improper location selection?"
The emperor did not look at the prince and only said, "The crime is of course disrespectful and serious. However, the Kali memorial also said that Chen Pengnian had other crimes. In this case, he ordered the Governor of Water Transport Sang'e, the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Palace Zhang Penghie and the Governor of Liangjiang to join the trial."
"As for the military parade the day after tomorrow..." Kangxi paused without leaving any trace, and then said, "Ask Prince Zhi to prepare with General Jiangning... plus the concubine Bandi, and the five beile Yinqi."
"That's it. On the official day of the military parade, I will take the emperors and grandsons to test fire at the school."
There was no mention of what to do with the princes, let alone the prince. According to Yinti's many years of experience, Kangxi would not say anything, so everything would be prepared as usual. Anyway, everything was done in accordance with military etiquette and was simple. The old man wanted the prince to come on, but it was just to add another horse.
thing.
"Lao Ba's face has changed." Ben Di sighed with a smile, "Why does he feel that he can take advantage of all the good things in this world?"
Yinti smiled casually, "You're not allowed to have a dream. It's not a violation of national law. Even if it is a violation of national law, he is still among the eight deliberations."
"That's true." The prince-in-law sighed, "It's just that Lao Ba is so tossing, I'm afraid no one can tolerate him, and he himself knows it well."
"So he can only move forward with no choice but to retreat. The emperor gave him a chance, but it depends on how well he masters it. Lao Ba has crossed the line..." Yinti said with a smile, but there was no trace of emotion on his face.
Smile, "If he insists on doing this, no one can stop him."
"There are still people who are adding fuel to the flames." Ban Di raised a key question. "I'm really curious. No matter how polite the corporal is, Lao Ba is not perfect, and he won't be able to create such a big momentum in an instant and give him such confidence. They
What do you see in him?"
"We don't need to think about these things." Prince Zhi pointed at the imperial driver in the distance, "Let Khan Ama worry about it."
