Chapter 703 Major Events (2)
Liu Zhubo finally understood.
Many people know that Wang Ju was moved to the magistrate and political affairs, and I am afraid that even some ordinary people have heard of this appointment.
But this appointment made some people unhappy.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, it is generally difficult to have any good results. Not only in the middle and late stages, but also in the early stages, such as Li Chuyun who pacified Jingchu, was demoted, and Wang Quanbin who pacified Bashu, was demoted. Even if they made serious mistakes, what about Pan Mei and Li Jilong? Pan Mei had such great contributions, the highest official position was just an envoy of Xuanhui Southern Court, and then was demoted because of Yang Ye's affairs. Is Yang Ye's death greater than the failure of Cao Binqigou Pass? Let's not talk about the war god Li Jilong. Di Qing was even more tragic.
Or they are military generals, so what about Zhang Kang?
Cai Ting made some military achievements, but he was the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, and Wang Shao was the same. Zhang Shi was still behind him, and he didn't get any envoys.
This Liu Zhubo did not think deeply. He only thought that Wang Ju offended some big shots.
What to do if you are unhappy?
So I got this rap book.
Don’t ask what it is, let’s look at Di Qing’s fate in the capital. It was precisely because of some inexplicable rumors that the ministers began to have reason to attack and finally left the Western Palace. Because of the breath in their hearts, they eventually died of anger.
Going forward for a while, when we arrived at Xia Shu, before the Qingli New Deal, Xia Shu had always performed very well, with political achievements and talents, and helped Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and Han Qi. The disadvantage was that they were too enjoyable. However, how many scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty did not want to enjoy it? Look at Xiao Song and Da Su. However, because some people were unhappy, there were some rumors in the market that they were dismissed from the prime minister before they even arrived in the capital.
As long as these songs are spread throughout the world, the following will undoubtedly be countless memorials that impeached Wang Ju. Okay, the goal will be achieved!
In fact, Wang Anshi was vilified like this, but Master Liu didn't think much about it.
Then to Yizheng County.
The reason why people rambled on this section was the normal route for Wang Ju to return to Beijing. There were only three normal routes from Dali to Beijing. One was the road that the men and women in Wang Ju's family took, from Guangnan West Road to cross Lingqu, from Xiangshui to Grand Canal, and directly to the capital. Then it was from Wuman Road. Either go straight to Bashu by land, from Jiange to Beijing, or from the water road to the capital from Sanxia. No matter how you choose, you will never pass through Qiongzhou.
However, Wang Ju passed by Qiongzhou and heard this song. How could Wang Ju not know the seriousness of the matter? So the current story came into being.
At this point, Magistrate Yao had no choice but to twist his head and go against Wang Juzuo to the end.
But...but you are just a small county magistrate, and the gods on the top are starting a war. You can stand in a team, but you can't go to war with the gods directly. Isn't this even going to be dragged into the water?
A small magistrate actually questioned the decent deputy minister of the East Mansion, and the new deputy minister of the East Mansion, everyone in the world knew that it was not a good master to mess with. A cruel and ruthless master, when he thought of Wang Ju's story before, Liu Zhubo's calves trembled both his calves.
In fact, he only thought about it right.
Wang Ju looked at Yao Qi and almost got happy and said, "Do you ask me?"
"This is a matter under my jurisdiction, and I must ask clearly."
"Okay, I'll give you an explanation. Just now, I was talking to my husband on the road. The autumn harvest is coming and the autumn tax is about to begin. But the biggest strange policy in Bashu is that Bashu is the main production base for silk and silk. Because the court asked the people of Bashu to pay taxes with cloth, it has led to insufficient cloth in Bashu. In turn, merchants transferred cloth from Jinghu South Road to Bashu from Jinghu South Road to sell. The husband in a family is on the way. Why don't the people use money to pay taxes with cloth? Will it save a lot of waste? It is convenient for the people and the court."
"By the way, he was a customer recruited from Dali, so he didn't know much about the situation in the country. So he explained the whole story and wanted to solve it. First, it was to transfer several routes, but it was quite difficult to transfer several routes. Besides, Bashu is rich, and Jinghu Road is an input path, not an output path. If Shaanxi Road and Bashu were exchanged, it might be possible. Second, our dynasty has always lacked the currency for trading, so the copper coins of Bashu were transferred to the Central Plains for circulation, so Bashu often used iron coins and Jiaozi."
"Actually, it's because of the lack of money. Therefore, when someone was an official in Shaanxi, he always wanted to solve this problem. If you simply use Jiaozi, you must have a related hard currency mortgage so that Jiaozi can have credibility. So what is the related hard currency? It is best to be copper coins, followed by gold and silver."
"Prince, I am not talented, I want to ask, where is the gold and silver I come to my dynasty?" Yao Qi said sarcastically.
"Yes, our dynasty presents a lot of silver to the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom every year. Even if trade is beneficial to our dynasty, we cannot trade all the silver back. As for sea routes, the same is true, because overseas countries are too poor, and the actual overseas trade resulted in a large amount of copper coins and gold and silver being lost overseas. In addition, the increase in the people, the demand for gold and silver also increased, so the price of gold and silver has continued to rise slowly. However, I have already begun to solve this problem. But there is enough silver and there is also a
Another bad policy is that our dynasty has always regarded gold and silver as commercial goods, so when entering the city and the business of the market, we must pay taxes. So there is another situation. Some silver-producing land in Lingnan, with one tael of silver worth only one thousand ci, but in the capital, it reaches more than two thousand ci. The exchange ratio is unstable, how can we treat them as quasi-currency and reserve currency? In order to convince the officials after returning to Beijing, we brought back two thousand ci in silver from Dali. Each business will pay taxes according to the court regulations to see how much silver will be left when we finally arrive in the capital."
"On Dali and Guangnan West Road, I used my power in the past few years to issue Lubu and was not allowed to collect gold and silver taxes. Therefore, it was not until Yazhou that I officially paid silver to the city tax. Two thousand taels, and when I arrived here, there were still 1,821 taels, well, it was in those two boxes. By the way, I still kept Zhu Bao, who collected taxes from various venues in my hands."
What Yao Qi caught was Wang Ju used his money to lure several clerks into greed and inflicted on crimes.
There was no saying that fishing law enforcement was enforced in the Song Dynasty, but the truth was similar.
This is true.
However, Wang Ju made a truth, which was related to the future of the country, so it was not fishing law enforcement.
At least in other places, Wang Ju was also "white" but he was quietly passing by, so why did something happen here?
Sweat beads emerged from Yao Qi's forehead again.
He is really hard and he has no pressure in his heart?
What to do? What to do?
Yao Qi thought for a while and asked, "Prince, why do you just ask the guests you recruited from Dali to answer?"
He was also anxious and confused at this time.
Yes. The problem is here. If Zhang Nantuo hadn't come forward to talk, he looked stupid and silly, but he had changed to someone else. With a Central Plains accent, Wang Ju and his group were dressed in bright clothes and angry horses. Even if they were greedy for officials, would they dare to seek money and kill their lives?
But can this be asked?
Wang Ju sneered: "Are people from Dali not humans? As a Shu official, have you forgotten all the masters and heroes?"
After Wang Quanbin pacified Shu, he did nothing. Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent his famous minister Lu Yuqing to Chengdu to put out the fire, and then dispatched the original army of Shu to the capital.
These two edicts are against each other. Without these troops, there would be no subsequent riots.
However, halfway through, because officials withheld military food and wages and abused Qixiong's surrender, the surrendered army elected Quan Shixiong, the former general of Shu Kingdom, as the leader, to rebel against the Song Dynasty. Wang Quanbin sent Liu Guangxu to recruit peace, but Liu Guangxu destroyed all the clans of Shixiong and took his beloved daughter to pretend. This made Quan Shixiong no longer surrender. He then killed the governor Li Derong, named Xingshu King, and sent troops to Chengdu. All parties in Shu raised troops to respond, and the mutiny of the Sixteen Prefectures of Xichuan began.
Later, although Quan Shixiong was suppressed, a lot of problems were left behind. In order to suppress Quan Shixiong, the Song Dynasty had to use the power of local tyrants, so after quelling the rebellion, they gave way to the local tyrants. They allowed them to exploit the common people, so the notorious neighbors in Bashu emerged, laying the fuse for the later Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun uprising.
Bashu rebelled many times, and the Song Dynasty borrowed troops from Kuixia barbarians with minimal strength. However, Kuixia barbarians did not play much role. Instead, because of the imperial court's borrowing troops, they became even more arrogant. Therefore, the Kuixia barbarian area became the darkest place in the Song Dynasty, and to this day, all kinds of ugly behaviors in the Kuixia area have not been well resolved.
Wang Ju didn’t mean the entire Shixiong, nor did he mean the Kuixia area.
He refers to the recent pacification of Dali, but it has not been completely pacified yet. The battles are still going on one after another, especially in the southern and southwest areas of Dali.
This is really normal, and cannot be compared with the Southern Tang and Wu Yue. After all, these two regions are the most developed and wealthy areas of the Song Dynasty today, and are also the most docile areas with the people. Just like the Southern Han Dynasty, if you look carefully at how Pan Mei and Wang Ming governed Lingnan, and how many benevolent governments they imposed, but there are still rebellions from time to time, and it was gradually pacified several years later.
If all the merchants who came to Bashu to conduct business at this time let the clerks commit money and the news was passed back to Dali, what would the consequences would it have?
This is really big!
"Magistrate Yao, you have a very good news. Before you arrive, you know what happened just now. But I asked you again, this Li Wengweng is only twenty miles away from here, and has paid taxes and taxes. Why did you force him to pay taxes and taxes when you arrive here? There are two venues on a twenty miles away. Magistrate Yao, you really love the people as much as your son."
"Prince, it's not just about the county according to the government!"
"Okay, even if other counties have a lot of business, I'll ask you again, what is over tax and what is over tax?"
"It's over, it's over, this real fire broke out in the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond," Liu Zhubo thought to himself.
In fact, not all prefectures and counties have a lot of business, it depends on how local officials in various places govern. Not only do they really care about the people, but they also have to fight against these powerful people.
Clerks are born among the powerful people from all over the country.
However, regardless of the number of venues or fewer venues, according to the commercial tax system of the Song Dynasty, one tax can only be paid, and then one tax will be paid for each venue.
But in Yizheng County, the taxes of all the big and powerful people were not dared to be collected. At least Wang Ju just saw this, but he tried hard to make money from the poor small and medium-sized merchants. Not only did he have a lot of business, but he also did not collect taxes according to the court system, and he was truly imposing heavy taxes.
What is related to loving the people and taking into account people's livelihood.
As long as this is decided, all the officials in Yizheng County will be negligent.
Wang Ju pointed at Old Man Li again and said, "He has only one son in his family, but he was forcibly pulled him to be a soldier. It's okay, he worked with Mr. Xiong to pacify Dali and sacrificed some soldiers, but why didn't he receive much pension?"
Why did Old Man Li cheer when he heard that singing book?
His son died, but the court did not have any pensions. How could he not be angry?
But the fact is that the court's pension was very thick this time and had nothing to do with the local soldiers. Although the local soldiers were a little less pension, Kumamoto once broke into several cities and obtained a lot of wealth. Some of them were left for preparation for war and future governance expenses, and part of them were distributed as rewards and pensions. The rewards of the living soldiers were directly issued in the military camp, while the dead martyrs were distributed by governments in various places.
This part of the pension is combined with the court's pension, and this time the pension is still very generous.
Old Man Li’s family did not receive any pensions, so there were only three problems: one was that officials in Qiongzhou deducted them, the second was that officials in accordance with the government deducted them, and the third was that the local soldiers and generals deducted them.
But no matter where the problem lies, both the officials in Qiongzhou and the government are wrongly wrong.
"Not only do you pay heavy taxes, but you also ignore your lives. Li Wengweng said just one sentence and pushed him hard to the ground, and was injured in an instant. What did Li Wengweng do wrong? Also, in order to covet these silver, he detained the silver box and the official seal and the official edict, and then called the wing soldiers to arrest someone and others as soon as they came up. It would be fine if they were arrested, but they directly used weapons, including bows and arrows. Why? Want to shoot someone and others to death?"
What happened just now happened very quickly, but it was indeed the dozens of soldiers who rushed over first. Then Wang Ju's guards came forward and before they could counterattack, they set off their bows and arrows.
Although it happened quickly, many people on the roadside saw it.
At least now, three guards and three horses were injured by Wang Ju's side.
With this alone, this matter was a big deal. Did the people of Qi really implement the Song Dynasty?
There is truth, authority, and reason, Yao Qi is speechless.
"I asked you who is the Qianbiaosi!" Wang Ju suddenly shouted.
"Qianbian is a subordinate of the subordinate, and it is not easy for the prince to interfere." Yao Qi continued to be tough.
But Liu Zhubo's eyes turned black and his body was shaking, and he wished he could fall down... (~^~)
