Ye An was almost stunned after getting the news. He didn't expect that Wang Qinruo's handle would fall into his hands so quickly. Neither Yu E nor Wu Zhi were of any importance to him, but everything could be involved.
This is interesting when it comes to Wang Qinruo.
Of course, the most important thing is Liu E's attitude. This matter is big or small. As long as Wang Qinruo refuses to admit it, there is nothing he can do.
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the chain of evidence is complete. In this way, it is impossible for Wang Qinruo to remove it completely. As long as there are these, even if Wang Qinruo does not know about it, and even the gold is not delivered to him, he
It will also follow "eating, hanging and falling".
Ye An looked at Qin Mumu with a smile and said: "Some people still don't believe that I can move to Wang Qinruo, but this is a matter of a moment. Since Mrs. Liu wants to make money, let's just let her make money, but we have to sign a
Signing a contract, this is our rule of doing business!"
Qin Mumu smiled helplessly: "I thought people in the Song Dynasty did not bribe much, but who would have thought that it happened in front of us? Is this considered selling one's official position?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course it is. As long as the official titles are not obtained through legitimate means, they are all for sale! This is a big cake, and it is also taboo. Originally, official titles were only the rights of the emperor, but some low-grade official titles were devolved.
In the hands of the courtiers, the local county lieutenant was equivalent to the police chief, not a literary qualification, and the Ministry of Civil Service Examination did not value it. In this way, all it took was Wang Qinruo to say hello, and someone must handle the matter safely!
Do you think if the Tian family knew about this, would they be furious?"
Qin Mumu rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, this feeling of private power transfer is not a simple anger, but a kind of anger at being betrayed by someone you trust, which is often much more serious than direct injury, whether it is Liu E
Neither Zhao Zhen nor I can bear it."
Ye An picked up the teacup and handed it to Qin Mumu and said: "You should calm down, why are you so angry if it's not about your family? Are you not used to this kind of thing? To tell you the truth, this kind of thing happens every day in the official department, but
The chiefs of the Ministry of Personnel do not have much real power. The structure of the stacked bed frame houses in the Song Dynasty has allowed the six official offices to act independently, evading the power of the chief officials... Haha..."
Qin Mumu was lying on a bamboo deck chair, enjoying the shade of the crabapple tree and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. After all, the Song Dynasty did not have any officials or generals causing chaos, and it was internally stable."
"Is it internally stable? I just laughed..." Ye An sneered dissatisfied: "The officials have stopped causing chaos, but the people below can't stand it. Neither can this dynasty, which is known to be prosperous in business and has several times as much money as in the Tang Dynasty.
The dynasty with the most rebellions in history has more peasant uprisings than the air in our perfume bottle!"
Qin Mumu looked at Ye An with some doubts: "It shouldn't be! Why would such a prosperous dynasty force the people to survive? The Xianping rule is praised by everyone in Tokyo."
"Because there are too many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes! Why do people in the Song Dynasty want to be officials? Because once they obtain an official position, they can be exempted from a lot of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Think about it now, what does it feel like when someone comes to your house to collect Dingkou tax? Oh, it is also a poll tax.
!”
Seeing Qin Mumu's surprised look, Ye An shook his head helplessly, moved a recliner next to her and said: "The exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Five Dynasties have not been reduced, and they are still increasing. Do you think the people's lives can be improved?"
Is it better? Believe it or not, even if potatoes and sweet potatoes became popular in the Song Dynasty, people would still starve to death where they should. This is a flaw of the feudal system, and the main reason for this is the official system of this dynasty.
Bed frame houses are inefficient. Mr. Jiu Jing loudly shouted in the court to abolish the sticking law, but what was the result? Officials from every government office responded, but as long as one person opposed or delayed, it would be difficult to get rid of the sticking law.
It’s hard to get into heaven! Do you think it’s Mr. Chen?”
"A certain family knows about this, but what can they do?" Chen Lin pretended to be sleeping on the tree branch. Ye An and Qin Mumu were used to his style, so they both closed their eyes and stayed awake day and night.
The appearance is comparable to a bat, no, an owl, always staring at people who want to do something, and completely ignoring those who don't.
Qin Mumu asked curiously: "What is sticking shooting? Why don't I know!"
"Because our family is not in the tea business!" Ye An sneered, looked up at Chen Lin and said: "This tipping method is that after the tea merchants pay the government the net profit from the official purchase and sale, the government will pay the discount.
With the voucher, tea merchants hold the voucher directly to the farmers to buy tea and sell tea. The sticking method protects the tea profits that the government deserves and reduces the cost of the government buying and selling tea. This is a good law, a good law, but...
………”
Before Ye An could speak, Chen Lin explained: "This method is beneficial to the court. After tea is decoupled from border purchases, the disadvantages of false estimation no longer exist, and the tea profits that originally fell into the pockets of the big southeast tea merchants return to the national treasury; the court
Collecting interest money without paying the capital can save a lot of transportation costs. It is also beneficial to merchants. Compared with the original three theories, the imperial court forcibly apportioned mostly old and bad tea. Now you can buy good tea from the farmers.
Moreover, the amount of tea consumed exceeded the amount of tea consumed; the gardeners canceled the prepaid capital, and the amount of tea consumed was almost doubled. In fact, they paid for the freight and collection fees originally borne by the government and merchants, but this way they could avoid the harassment of private tea. Originally
This sticking method can be said to kill three birds with one stone by increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, the border reserves can be guaranteed, and the tea will not be stagnant, but Sun Shi and others are strongly opposed!"
Ye An rolled his eyes dissatisfied and said: "There is a large amount of unsold tea accumulated at the Thirteen Tea Farms in the Southeast. Guess how much it is, Mr. Chen?"
Before Chen Lin could answer, Ye An said loudly: "It's as high as more than 6.13 million kilograms! Mr. Jiujing and other people who advocated the abolition of the stick-shooting method believe that after the stick-shooting method was implemented, merchants only bought high-quality tea.
Low-quality tea leaves were all piled up in the government's Thirteen Tea Farms, and merchants were unwilling to buy these tea leaves. At the same time, tea farmers were unable to pay fixed fees to the court every year, and these tea farmers were often poor people.
Therefore, it is impossible to pay taxes to the state; some profiteers also forcefully buy and sell tea in the name of Tieshe, and rob the court of profit and tax income. This is the harm of Tieshe law!"
"Bang!" Chen Lin suddenly jumped down from the tree, stared at Ye An and said: "You are a good student of Mr. Jiu Jing! A certain family thought that you were different from those people, although there is also a business at home.
, but he is a person who knows benevolence and righteousness. I never thought that you are like them, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but doing things that are only for the common people!"
Ye An was furious: "Fart! When will I live with the common people?! Am I wrong?!"
"That's right! Do you know what the biggest industry of Sun Shi's family is?! Tea! The biggest tea merchant in the southeast is his Sun family! Why does he strongly oppose the sticking method?! Because good tea is set at a high price by the government
, tea merchants can no longer pressure the people with low prices to buy good tea as bad tea and coarse tea! Why there are so many bad teas in the southeast tea fields is not caused by the oppression of tea merchants! This is Sun Shi and those big tea
The result Shang wants to see is also to use this as an excuse to pressure the court to abolish the sticking law!"
Chen Lin was frothing at the mouth when she was excited, but Ye An was dumbfounded. This was completely different from the news he learned. In the end, he laughed loudly. Chen Lin and Qin Mumu laughed and said coldly:
"Sure enough, everyone in the court is a damn bad bird! They are all old foxes! No one can believe it! I have actually become that snowflake!"
"Snowflake?" Chen Lin was a little confused, but Qin Mumu knew it and sighed...
