Two hundred and seventieth chapters a whip method

Ma Cheng stood at the door of the back house waiting for the notice. After a while, the family came out and bowed and said, "General, my master asked the general to come in!"

Ma Cheng was very unhappy when he saw that Zhang Sunzhen had not come out to greet him. No matter what, he was the commander of Jiangnan. Even if he didn't have a civil service, he was also the legitimate son of Zhang Sunzhen's master Ma Shiying. It would be fine if he didn't come out to greet him. Didn't he have any sons?

Although Ma Cheng was unhappy, he came to ask Zhang Sunzhen today. Ma Cheng still knew the seriousness of the matter, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger and took Chen Zilong to the back house of the governor's yamen with the family.

The back houses of the official yamen in the Ming Dynasty were not very large. Even as the governor of a high-ranking official in a province, the back house only had three yards.

Soon Ma Cheng was taken to the entrance of the study by his family. Zhang Sunzhen was standing at the door to welcome Ma Cheng. Seeing Ma Cheng arrive, Zhang Sunzhen stood in the door and clasped his fists and said, "Shame, I should go to see the governor first, but the governor is troubled by affairs, so I asked the governor to come first!"

Zhang Sunzhen was just very polite and kind, but then he knew that Ma Cheng had taken a few steps, and went up to kneel on the ground and hugged Zhang Sunzhen's thighs and cried: "Uncle, it's great that you are here. This Qi Biaojia is bullying her nephew too much. Please make the decision for her nephew!"

Zhang Sunzhen and Ma Cheng were not familiar with him. In the past, Ma Cheng basically didn't go home much in order to train the new army. Zhang Sunzhen, as a scholar, did not want to have any connection with Qiu Ba. Instead, because of his relationship as both literati, Zhang Sunzhen and Ma Cheng's eldest brother Ma Luan were quite good.

Now Zhang Sunzhen saw Ma Cheng kneeling in front of him and cried bitterly, but instead panicked. He quickly helped Ma Cheng up and asked, "Sir, why is it? Please get up quickly!"

Then he knew that Ma Cheng had not only failed to get up, but also howled, "Uncle, you have a good relationship with my father. My father wrote to his nephew and said that everything must be listened to. Now my nephew is bullied by Qi Biaojia, please make the decision!"

When Qi Biaojia was a scholar-official in Shanxi, Ma Shiying was the governor of the Xuanfu. Although he had met twice, he definitely could not be said to be in a relationship. Later, Qi Biaojia was removed from office and went home, and he even broke off contact. However, everyone liked to listen to good things. Qi Biaojia heard Ma Cheng say that Ma Shiying said that Ma Shiying had a friendship with him, but although he didn't believe it, he was still happy.

"Get up, please don't worry, uncle will make the decision for you if you have something to do!"

With Zhang Sunzhen's promise, Ma Cheng stood up crying and helped Zhang Sunzhen sit in the upper head before he sat down with the Prime Minister.

Zhang Sunzhen waited for Ma Cheng to stop crying and asked, "Nephew, this Qi Biaojia has just arrived today, how can he bully you?"

"Hey, uncle doesn't know. After the battle of Lucheng, Qi Biaojia was caught by his nephew. Originally, the nephew wanted to make friends with him because of his identity as a scholar, but then he thought that Qi Biaojia actually beat her nephew. If it weren't for her martial arts skills, she would probably not have seen her uncle!" After Ma Cheng said that, he exposed the wound on his head, and began to wipe his tears again.

Although Ma Cheng pretended to be pitiful, his superficial acting skills could deceive the old man Zhang Sunzhen? This old guy has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years and has never seen any storms before. How could he be deceived by a little loach like Ma Cheng?

When Zhang Sunzhen saw Ma Cheng's performance, he knew why this kid came to see him. He just wanted to help him suppress Qi Biaojia. To be honest, Zhang Sunzhen came to play against Qi Biaojia this time, and he wanted to kill Qi Biaojia even more than Ma Cheng. However, if Zhang Sunzhen's old fried dough stick could reveal his ideas so easily, it would be impossible for him to help Ma Cheng.

"My nephew, I really empathize with you when I see your wound. I promised Yuanfu to take good care of you. Don't worry, I will go to Qi Biaojia tomorrow and make him apologize to you!"

Zhang Sunzhen's words were so powerful that it was not effective at all. Does Ma Cheng need Qi Biaojia to apologize? What he needs is Qi Biaojia's collapse to implement his strategy of dominating Nanzhili. But unexpectedly, Zhang Sunzhen was very slick and didn't say anything. Ma Cheng had no choice but to look at Chen Zilong behind him, hoping that he would come out to help him.

Chen Zilong is not as good as Zhang Sunzhen in terms of status, so he has no seats in front of these two people, just standing in the lower head. He just saw Ma Cheng's appearance very funny, and this governor was too artificial.

Now seeing Ma Cheng wink at himself, Chen Zilong stood up and bowed and said, "Mr. Fantai, the life-and-death enemy of the court is Lu and King Lu of Ningbo. If these two vassals are not eliminated, how can His Majesty the emperor be corrected? How can all the ministers in the court handle themselves? But now the army of the Supervisor lacks food and wages, and Master Futai must be on this. Will this continue to give King Lu a chance to breathe? If King Lu recovers, then things will be unpredictable!"

"There are also the disagreement between the Lord Futai and Lord Futai. The court knows that even if Lord Futai takes the court as the main focus and cooperates with Lord Futai's work, it will be difficult to protect it! Since this is the case, Lord Futai should not join forces with Lord Futai and resolve the Lord Futai as soon as possible. Once Lord Futai leaves, the governor will definitely be replaced by Lord Futai!"

Chen Zilong is worthy of being an intellectual, and he is much better than Ma Cheng. Chen Zilong started from national affairs first. Now the front line is fighting. If there is a problem with logistics, Ma Cheng will be more unlucky at that time. Zhang Sunzhen, you are responsible for money and grain. You will take most of the blame. At the same time, Chen Zilong also pointed out that Zhang Sunzhen, you have a relationship with Qi Biaojia, everyone knows that Qi Biaojia is not a good man and a trustworthy woman. If you don’t take action, do you think Qi Biaojia will not take action? It’s better to take this opportunity to join forces with Ma Cheng to kill Qi Biaojia in one fell swoop.

After Chen Zilong finished speaking, Zhang Sunzhen cast a glimpse of praise: "Among people, I didn't expect you to have such a talent. Following Huang Daozhou is really a talent!"

Chen Zilong's teacher was Huang Daozhou. Huang Daozhou and Qi Biaojia were Jinshi classmates in the second year of Tianqi. The teachers of these two were Zhang Sunzhen's mortal enemy Yuan Keli. Therefore, Zhang Sunzhen had no good impression of Chen Zilong. At that time, Chen Zilong made more than ten memorials and talked about things, but there was no movement in the court. Zhang Sunzhen had never played any good role in it.

When Ma Cheng heard Zhang Sunzhen mention Huang Daozhou, he knew that this old guy was not in dealing with Huang Daozhou. He was afraid that he would deal with Chen Zilong, so he quickly said to the side: "Uncle, Brother Chen is now mingling with his nephew and has already left the Donglin Party's gang of messing around!"

Zhang Sunzhen laughed after hearing Ma Cheng's words: "Nephew, the word "shod stick" is well used, these Donglins

Party members often claim to be righteous gentlemen, but look at what they do? They scolded me for attacking the common people and hindering the way of speaking, but did they do little? This time I received Yuan Fu's trust and went to Suzhou to become an official, in order to eradicate these Donglin counterpartys and give the court a bright world!"

When Ma Cheng heard Zhang Sunzhen behaved in a righteous manner, he cursed in his heart: You eunuch party, you have the nerve to say that other people's party is the same and different. This seems to be the specialty of you, the old guy?

In fact, Ma Cheng didn't know that although Zhang Sunzhen had a bad reputation in the officialdom, he was still a good official. After the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he did not die for the Ming Dynasty, but he did not learn from the Donglin Party who went on to become an official for the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Sunzhen lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and became a monk in history, and lived until 1680 to die.

Zhang Sunzhen didn't know Ma Cheng's dirty thoughts, and was still saying passionately: "I came here this time to solve the problems between Suzhou and Songjiang. This time I want to promote the whip method in these two mansions, which requires the cooperation of my nephew!"

Ma Cheng knew that the whip method was a new method invented by Zhang Juzheng? Because of this incident, Zhang Juzheng was dug up to whip the body after his death. He heard that his son was killed. Ma Cheng admired Zhang Juzheng very much when watching TV series in later generations. He was able to break a new path in the mess in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng's methods and methods were much better than his own Ma Shiying.

Ma Cheng thought of Zhang Juzheng, and immediately thought of another reformer, that is Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. Since Zhang Sunzhen wanted to implement the whip method, it would be better to do good things to the end, and to take all the officials and gentry of Yongzheng as a job and pay food, and implement the fire and consumption of the public.

Ma Cheng thought of this and said, "Uncle, since this is the case, it is better to promote the joint work of officials and gentry in these two palaces to pay food, right? "

If Zhang Sunzhen just said that he wanted to reopen a whip method to bomb, then Ma Cheng's words would be the original * bullet and hydrogen bomb.

The one-whip method is very simple, which is to unify the previous tyrants and miscellaneous taxes to make money by land, which means that you only need to pay one kind of land tax, and you don’t have to pay any other corvee service. This system is completely like Zhang Juzheng and the thin-hailing system. In addition to simplifying the procedures, there is no cake for the vested interest class. But because of this, Zhang Juzheng was scolded when he was alive, and he was even more uneasy after his death.

The two items Ma Cheng mentioned just now are not simplifying the procedures, but ending the welfare of the scholar group for thousands of years. The scholars began to be selected from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At this time, scholars were the top of society. They had various privileges in society. As long as they were scholars, you would not have to pay taxes to serve labor service. As long as you were a scholar, your whole family would not have to pay taxes to serve labor service. If you were a scholar, it would be even more amazing. Your name would be spread throughout the countryside, and everyone would take you as a model. The officials and gentry were working together to pay grain to end the privileges of these scholars. All intellectuals would have to pay taxes and work like those mud legs.
