Liang Xianzun was really a little frightened. Like many people who had just met Gao Pragmatism before, they could accept Gao Pragmatism's "prodigy" statement. After all, there were indeed endless prodigies in the Ming Dynasty. How many prodigies would there be in one dynasty?
On the contrary, it is a strange thing.
But these child prodigies are all "gods" who are quick-thinking and knowledgeable, but I have never seen such a pragmatic person who is not only good in knowledge, but also has insight into people's hearts.
Understanding people's hearts, shouldn't that be the skill of old foxes?
Obviously, these people don't know that during the Republic of China, there was a master named Li Zongwu who mastered a kind of knowledge called Houheixue. Since Gao Pragmatic traveled through official circles before he traveled, he was naturally a careful researcher of this knowledge.
one.
Thinking that Houheixue was the essence of the feudal officialdom, and Gao Pragmatism took it as his sect, how could these cowards in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty escape his notice?
In his opinion, Yang Jiaoyu's move was not only slippery, but also very measured. Because if the five counties jointly threatened to cause trouble, then they would conspire to rebel. It would be too far. If one of them failed, it would arouse the resentment of Duan Zhifu.
If this person has a stubborn temper, I might give them a life-and-death fight to see who is more powerful, my magistrate, or you, the county government officials.
However, now that the other four counties are silent and only the smallest Jixi County is taking the lead, it is different. Jixi is a real lower county with a small area and a small population. No matter how much trouble is made, it will never rise to the level of rebellion.
However, by making such a fuss, they not only conveyed the threat euphemistically and implicitly, but also left enough face for the prefect to easily change things in the future.
It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, but in fact this is also a relativity theory. If the people make too much noise, the officials will be afraid of the people. So most of the time, the two sides maintain a tacit understanding of the balance of power, and no one will cross that line.
Bottom line.
Therefore, the political thinking of local officials in the Ming Dynasty has always been to maintain stability and to avoid troubles as political achievements. As for whether they are reasonable or not, that is a secondary issue.
And the common people down below also understand this logic, so when they encounter any disputes, they don't care whether it is justified or not, and yell for a while before making the situation bigger. Because the bigger the situation is, the less likely it is to suffer losses. When the trouble becomes big, the government will often
The law does not punish everyone, but distributes it according to trouble.
Although Mr. Liang County understands these principles now, he only understood them thoroughly after Mr. Zhang’s patient explanation. And Gao Pragmatic, a little kid, is not like Mr. Zhang who has been working in various county government offices all year round relying on these skills.
How did he see through it at a glance?
So Liang Xianzun was really scared, and for a moment his eyes looked at Gao Pragmatic with a hint of fear.
However, at the moment, Gao Jingshi was not only thinking about the boy's examination three months later, but also about his trip to Anyang. He really didn't have the intention to delay here with Liang Wu, so he said directly: "That is to say, Huizhou Prefecture has indeed been
I'm right, and I plan to use my procrastination skills to drag things out? But if that's the case, how could Shuai Jiamo become a fugitive?"
After what happened just now, Liang Wu didn't dare to be as casual as before when facing Gao Pragmatic. Hearing this, he quickly said: "The problem is that handsome Jiamo still refused to give up after he found out that Huizhou Prefecture had nothing to do..."
So Liang Wu continued to convey the matter to Gao Pangshi.
It turned out that the person involved, Shuai Jiamo, had been waiting and waiting, but could not wait for the next step from the Huizhou government. He couldn't help but get anxious, thinking that after finally getting to this point, how could it end without a cure? What is the crux of the problem here?
In fact, the key here is that Shuai can only do math questions, but not political questions; Yang Jiaoyu is just the opposite. Although he makes many mistakes in math questions, he can get full marks on political questions!
Yang Jiaoyu's application did not mention the right or wrong of the business, but only talked about whether the official's career was good or not. However, Shuai Jiamo did not read the subtlety of the application and thought wishfully that the reason why the Huizhou government was unwilling to advance the case must be the whole matter.
It's not clear enough - if he lived in the 21st century, he must be an excellent programmer and a professional bug hunter.
So the programmer Shuai followed this idea and reconsidered it, and actually found that there was indeed a very vague point in the previous submission.
In the early days of the Republic of China, the "Summer Tax Raw Silk" that all six counties lost was the "Ren Ding Silk" that She County alone lost today. There is no problem with this. But there is another question: How did the subject "Summer Tax Raw Silk" come to be used?
What about the one that was changed to "Ren Ding Silk"?
Senior programmer Shuai Mou believes that as long as this key node is understood, the truth will be revealed.
So the energetic Shuai Jiamo rolled up his sleeves and dived into the vast sea of documents. He wanted to find the key needle in this sea of archives from six counties that had been accumulated for two hundred years.
This investigation lasted for three months. Huangtian paid off, and Shuai Jiamo actually found a clue: the secret came from the taxation subject.
Shuai Jiamo dug out the accounts given to Huizhou by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the past dynasties - similar to the statements of later generations. The words on the account were very clear: "Sit down and take the ding silk silk from Huizhou people."
In other words, the item that Nanjing's shipping warehouse wants Huizhou to pay is "people's silk silk", and it does not specify which county should pay it separately. In this case, the default should be to share it equally among the six counties.
But when Shuai Jiamo went to check the reminder documents sent by the Huizhou government to the six counties, he found that the subject "Ren Ding Silk" was missing. Only in the tax payment subject of She County, there was an additional "summer tax raw silk".
As a result, Shuai Jiamo suddenly realized that the tricks involved were very clear.
When Huizhou Prefecture levied taxes on She County, they used the name "Summer Tax Raw Silk". It happened that She County did have a "Summer Tax Raw Silk" item that owed wheat at the beginning of the country, so the local government did not feel that there was any difference.
But after the tax came up, when the Huizhou government deported it, it took out the appropriate amount from "summer tax raw silk" and placed it under "rending silk silk".
In this way, the dove "Ren Ding Silk" has openly occupied the nest of the bird "Summer Tax Raw Silk". The tax burden that was originally shared equally among the six counties has unknowingly turned into a tax burden.
She County alone carries it.
Poor people in Shexian County had no idea what was going on. They had worked hard to pay taxes for two hundred years, but they didn't know that what they were supporting was actually the burden of the six counties.
Shuai Jiamo knew that the person who did this was definitely a master. He was not only familiar with the story of money and grain in the early days of the country, but also proficient in the document process. He cleverly used the subject of Xia Mai's supplementary submission in She County to confuse the public and the public, and played a beautiful trick.
The great migration.
As for tax payment, once it becomes a routine and becomes a law, it will be carried out unswervingly and it will be difficult to change. As a result, She County has paid "people's silk silk" for nearly two hundred years without even knowing that it
I am happy to be a father: I have been raising a cub for someone else for two hundred years.
Shuai Jiamo's eyes are bright, this must be a subordinate official from the Huizhou Prefecture who is cheating!
This guess is not groundless conjecture. In the Ming Dynasty's system, local officials circulated frequently, and they stayed in one position for a few years before leaving. And those local affairs, such as money, food, punishment, and names, were controlled by professional subordinates. These people
They are all local aborigines, their positions have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have professional skills that outsiders cannot understand at all. There is a lot of room for them to manipulate them.
Especially in the area of money and food, it is the hardest hit area. The petty officials have various means to turn things upside down. The subordinates with superb means can even "make the people in the whole country empty without a home, and the family without an establishment is full of people.", you
How awesome is this? Huo Yuxia, an official during the Jiajing period, once wrote helplessly: "Each county and each household's housing and food department distributed food every year, and cheated from time to time." This shows the chaos at the grassroots level at that time.
Therefore, this move of dove occupying the magpie's nest must have been caused by the small official who handled it at that time, which made She County suffer unjust injustice!
Now that the truth has been revealed, without further delay, Shuai Jiamo quickly wrote another submission, briefly describing his latest research results. He knew that officials have always been followed from generation to generation, and if it was completely exposed, it would probably offend a large number of people.
Therefore, he only vaguely mentioned the cause: "I didn't know what the disadvantages were in my early years."
People don’t have to pursue the blame, after all, almost two hundred years have passed; but if something is wrong, it must be corrected.
At the same time, Shuai Jiamo also put forward another important argument: The "people's silk silk" is obviously a poll tax, so it should be collected based on population. But now She County is asked to pay it alone, is it possible that the other five counties are all empty cities without a single person?
?
On September 25, the fourth year of Longqing's reign, Shuai Jiamo formally submitted this submission to Huizhou Prefecture, fully expecting to be "given a resolution and apply for detailed corrections."
It should be said that this submission is more convincing than the last one, and the two newly proposed evidences are also very reasonable. However, after the report was submitted, there was still no movement. In fact, the Huizhou government did not even reply this time, completely
Turn a deaf ear.
After all, programmers don’t understand officialdom as well as official apes. Shuai doesn’t know that the key to this problem is not at all whether he can calculate math problems accurately, but whether the people from the prefect to the county magistrate and even more in Huizhou Prefecture wear their black gauze hats steadily!
When things got to this point, other people would probably have accepted their fate, but Shuai Jiamo did not back down. This upright programmer made an astonishing decision after realizing that he could not get support from both Huizhou Prefecture and Yingtian House.
Go to Beijing to petition! I want to file a complaint!
