Chapter 244
Min Qiuye, the official, was targeted before he even took office. Despite this, he did not see any intention of retreating. According to Lao Min, he applied for this magistrate himself. I said that he was stupid in studying and did not understand the world, and he agreed with it.
However, the master of the horoscope of Hu Shaoxing who was walking with him had a unique understanding. The master's surname was Bu and his name was Qian. When it was connected, it was called "Bu Qian".
Liu Qingfeng said that since you are not a good deal of money, why are you still thinking about it?
Master Bu shook his head and said, "No. An official who does not make money may be a clean official, but definitely not a good official. Since ancient times, there have been so many honest officials who have left famous historical books, but how many good officials are among these clean officials? The officialdom is a jar, just like a system with rules. Being an official must do things for the people. Since you have chosen this path, don't always want to make a name for yourself and get out of the rules of the game. How can you become a bigger official if you don't make money? How can you achieve your own revenge if you don't make a bigger official if you don't make a bigger official?
Liu Qingfeng said that Master’s serious nonsense actually made me unable to refute it.
Master Bu continued, not to mention the official position, once he entered the officialdom, he would be inseparable from integrity. If these officials in the court lined up and killed them all, there would definitely be unfair reasons. But if one was chopped off one, there would definitely be fish that missed the net.
I said to Mr. Bu, you can see so thoroughly, how could you be willing to be a master under an eighth-grade sect?
Bu Wei touched the eight characters in front of him. Lord Min had saved Bu's life and was kind to me. This time he entered Shu, and seemed to be promoted, but in fact he was dangerous every step. Bu was not talented, but he learned the methods of Yin and Yang, the techniques of erectile dynasties and wisps. He was able to be a master of Lord Min, which was considered a kindness.
I deeply admired it and asked Min Qiuye, Mr. Bu is so powerful that if you have his help, you can be considered a helper. By the way, how could you be kind to him?
Min Qiuye sighed, this matter is long. When I was in Lingnan, Master Bu was sued to the yamen and said that he was peeking at a woman taking a bath, but was caught by the victim in public and almost beaten to death. Later, when I tried the case, I found out that Master Bu was myopia and helped him to whitewash his grievances. Is this a kindness? But if you want to be a master later, it is just begging for nothing to make a living. But I have no family, so he wants to follow him, so come.
When I arrived at a small town in Qingyang County, I saw a group of officers and soldiers robbing things from a family in the town. After inquiring, I found out that the family owed the official taxes and could not pay back the profits, and they were moving things out.
Master Bu looked and said, "This chair is good, old yellow flower pear, with the right patterns... This golden nanmu dragon and phoenix bed is good, you can tell at a glance that it is an object from the Song Dynasty."
Around the crowd were crowded with onlookers, and a leader said to a lazy officer, "Ding San, why are you lazy if you don't work? What are you holding in your hands?"
Ding San said while bowing, "My Lord Xu, my clothes are cut, I'm looking for some needles and threads to make up for it!"
Lord Xu went up and punched everyone, saying, "We are officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we must abide by the four disciplines and nine ideas, and we cannot take the masses one needle and one thread! Ding San, do you know?"
Ding Sanlian nodded, and Lord Xu turned around and shouted, "Listen, don't take a stitch or thread, just move the rest away for me!"
I think this family should be well-off, so how could they not even afford the tax burden?
Master Bu said that during the Xiangtai period, the Qingmiao Silver Method was in the reform of the Taishi Zhang, the original intention
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) It is to lend money to the people when the green and yellow people are not accepted, and repay the money after the autumn harvest. This is good intention. However, in the specific implementation, local officials forcibly allocated the loan to these wealthy families in order to complete the assessment. They did not need a loan, but were dragged down by forced loans, but in the end they could not pay back the interest in a few years. If it was nothing in the past, they just needed to borrow new and repay old ones and make up for the interest, but once the funds were encountered, the money would be broken, and these things that were destroyed by the family would become common.
I said why it sounds so similar to the quantitative easing policy of a certain country? The Qingmiao Silver Method is a bit like sheeping. The original intention of the reform of Taishi Zhang was good, but during the specific implementation, the policy was deformed and distorted. It is probably what they did not expect when they designed the reform.
Min Qiuye said that reforms are second only to revolution and seem to be moderate, but behind each policy, there are many stories of the destruction of families.
Master Bu said, but you can't just stop doing it because of one's or another concerns, right? Someone choked to death. Should we prohibit everyone from eating? So being an official does not depend on how many innovative actions you have made, but on how much you have filled more people. It does not depend on how honest and honest you have, but on how much practical things you have done for the people.
Seeing that all the soldiers moved the family completely, Master Bu sighed and said, "Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like combs. When he saw the actions of the people in the government, the ancients really did not deceive me."
A man next to him said coldly, "The prefect who destroyed the family, the county magistrate who destroyed the family, and many of the chief clerks relied on being the brother-in-law of the prefect Zhang to collect bribes and colluded with the gangs in the world. In the past six months, five wealthy families have been confiscated.
Min Qiuye's face was ashen. Qingyang County was under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Prefecture. She was a chief clerk, just a clerk, not an official, and she had such power. It seems that his path to judging is not that simple.
When they arrived at Qingyang County, everyone was ordered to pay fifty cents of entry fee for each person, and they were also paid thirty cents of public security maintenance fees, road usage fees, pollution emission fees, and even beggars, reed flowers, beggars, and beggars, and each had to pay ten cents of livestock fees.
Min Qiuye said that according to the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, each city sets up a checkpoint at the city gate to verify its entry and exit status. If you want to collect city gate tax, it must be approved by the Ministry of Revenue before it can be enforced. As for public security fees and pollutant discharge fees, it is purely nonsense!
Seeing that Lao Min was stubborn, I quickly advised that this kind of thing is common in all states, and it is not a big deal, so why bother to get so angry?
Lao Min said that Ruodu swallowed his anger like you, which encouraged their arrogance.
I thought to myself that you just came here and your days will be long. First, get familiar with the situation and hold them in your hands in the future. Why don’t you just do whatever you want? Seeing that he didn’t listen to his advice, I couldn’t help but say angrily, if you cause trouble, you should first consider how many bowls of rice you can eat. Last year, three governors were replaced in Shuzhong. They either took the initiative to beg for bones or died suddenly inexplicably.
Min Qiuye was silent when he heard this. Everyone moved into Qingyang County. On the second day, someone came to submit a message. Could you please ask if Lord Min Min had left Baodi? The person who came was some local gentry and fame in Qingyang County, as well as many adults who searched the house yesterday.
The county magistrate of Qingyang County is an old man. He is old and addicted to alcohol. He usually gives all government affairs to the chief clerk for handling.
Min Qiuye has not yet taken office, so she changed into regular clothes to meet everyone. Many people saw Min Qiuye but did not have the awareness of being a subordinate. She went up to call him and said, "I have heard from my brother-in-law that I have come from Lingnan."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The great master of the Qingtian, Min Sanyan, is indeed worthy of his reputation when he sees it today!
I wondered, Min San was afraid?
Master Bu smiled and said, "I don't know if the hero Qin is not in the officialdom. Lord Min is a famous Sanyan County Magistrate in the Lingnan officialdom. Corrupt officials are afraid of him, bandits are afraid of him, and the King of Hell is afraid of him. If you have time, you care about my pot of wine, and I will tell you the story of Lord Min.
Min Qiuye ignored Master Bu’s gossip and looked at many people, saying, “I have not taken office yet, so Lord Xu doesn’t have to be so polite. He didn’t intend to bother you. Everyone refused, saying that Lord Min rarely comes to Qingyang County once. If he returns empty-handed, wouldn’t we seem to be negligent and unable to do things?
At noon, many banquets were held at Jingyaxuan, the largest Qingyang County, and the main gentry in Qingyang County, famous scholars, and some celebrities from the local world attended the banquet, and the banquet was held in a happy mood.
Xu Zhubu made an important speech. Xu Zhububu pointed out that Min San was afraid that Lord Mu would join our Shuzhong officialdom and inject new blood into the Chengdu officialdom. In the future, under the leadership of Lord Min, our Qingyang County officialdom will actively innovate, be bold and enterprising, be greedy and corruption, be greedy and come to a new realm, and be greedy for a new level. Lord Xu shared several cases with everyone at the banquet, introduced his experience in corruption in recent years, and exchanged opinions with the participants.
Min Qiuye also had a clue. He said that Shuzhong has been a country of Tianfu since ancient times, with richness and prosperity. Sichuan officials are the new force in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Under the leadership of the prefect and the brother-in-law of Xu, he insisted that some people become greedy first, first greedy and then greedy, and finally reach the perfect state of common greed. In the future, I, Min, and others, will work with everyone to open up a new situation in Shuzhong and work together to move towards common prosperity!
The gentry also expressed their efforts to cooperate with the various policies of the court and support the vital interests of all adults.
All sects in the world also said that if you have any things that are inconvenient to take action on the surface and are shameless, please leave them to do so to ensure that they do not leak.
When I returned to the inn, Min Qiuye looked ugly and sulked alone. I took two pots of wine and came to his room, and they drank it.
Two years ago, we went our separate ways. Unexpectedly, after two years of separation, our identities were already very different. Back then, I was a little bodyguard, and he was a down-and-out juren. Now I am a little famous in the world, and he is an old bird in the officialdom.
Min Qiuye sighed, the official roads in Chengdu are already rotten.
I said you wouldn't take the Sanyan spirit here in Lingnan, right? Now Shu is not as good as Lingnan. The forces here are complicated and walking on thin ice. If you don't pay attention, you will easily fall into a doom.
Min Qiuye said that I have a sense of my own. After all, I have been immersed in the officialdom for a few years. I have no background, no background, and no background, and no beautiful articles. I have to be a young man to enter the sight of the big men in the court. This time I come to Shuzhong, why don’t I know the danger here? But if I don’t fight like this, how can I realize my ambitions?
Looking at Min Qiuye's resolute expression, I couldn't help but admire him, and I wanted to help him gain a foothold in Shuzhong when I said this tonight.
