In the original historical time and space, although the Qing Dynasty generally inherited the system of the middle and late Ming Dynasty in terms of local governance, the specific implementation details were still different.

For example, in the attitude towards civil uprisings, the government of the Qing Dynasty mainly focused on direct suppression, while the government of the Ming Dynasty in the middle and late stages focused on maintaining local stability, and made peace with the mud if they could.

For example, the famous "Five Righteous Men" in Suzhou, if it were placed in the Qing Dynasty, there were not only five righteous men, but maybe fifty righteous men or five hundred righteous men.

That's why in today's Hangzhou city, there will be scenes where craftsmen can't bear the additional distribution of [-] bolts of silk, and they gather at the weaving bureau to gossip, and officials take turns to persuade them-
According to the old rules, if you really can't be persuaded, probably forget it.If a group of rioters have the guts to smash the weaving bureau, then the government will just deal with the aftermath.

More and more craftsmen are gathering, and it seems that there may be thousands of people.But after Tai Zhongtang spoke, the people who came to block the door and make trouble temporarily settled down.

Because what Qin Zhongtang said was reasonable, the demands of the craftsmen who came to gather a crowd to make trouble were to solve the problem, and the extra [-] horses was too heavy, and it was not to cause trouble for idle business.

Now Qin Zhongtang is the largest in Hangzhou city, if even Qin Zhongtang can't solve it, who can we count on?
Qin Zhongtang, who came sick, saw that the mood of the crowd had stabilized, so he turned around and walked into the weaving bureau, and probably went to negotiate with the weaving eunuch—
Looking at this scene, Xu Weixue couldn't help feeling awed: "The situation can be dealt with by sending a magistrate. Qin Zhongtang did not hesitate to mediate in person at the expense of his illness. I really didn't expect him to have such a side."

Under Xu Zhengshi and Yan Shifan's constant brainwashing, Xu Xixue's impression of Taizhongtang is probably "sinister and deceitful", "arrogant", "greedy and lustful".

Unexpectedly, today happened to meet the scene of Qin Zhongtang loving the people like a son, which gave Xu Xixue a new understanding of the complexity of human nature.

Yan Shifan couldn't help complaining, "Could Chief Xu be so naive? Don't you see it?
Qin Dewei must be playing double reeds with the weaving eunuch to cheat his reputation! In his own words, this is called gaining reputation!"

Xu Weixue can be the leader of the sea merchants, so he is not easy, he has his own way of judgment, and retorted to Yan Shishan:
"The silk we handed over to Ouchi from the Weaving Bureau is a fixed amount every year, and this cannot be changed at all. If there is a chance to make a fortune by smuggling, we can only raise silk by sending extra.

And the 10,000 extra horses sent to the craftsman this time is not a small amount. If it is shipped to Shuangyu Island, it will probably be worth [-] taels of silver!
You have also said that the eunuchs in charge of Nanjing and the weaving eunuchs in Suzhou and Hangzhou are basically old people who have nothing to ask for but money. How could they give up [-] bolts of silk just for Qin Zhongtang’s words? Outline?
In my opinion, if the weaving eunuch plays the double reed for the sake of gaining the prestige of Tai Zhongtang, it would be impossible to lose [-] bolts of silk!"

Yan Shifan ostentatiously said: "Nothing is impossible, people like Qin Dewei talk about loyalty, but they have business in their hearts!
Chief Xu, you only know one thing, but not the other! Qin Dewei always likes to use flexible methods in doing things, pays attention to a dry word called win-win, and then can maintain superficial skills!
Take this time as an example, I predict that the way Qin Dewei solves the problem is definitely not to directly exempt the [-]-horsepower bonus!"

Xu Weixue pointed to the angry scene, and questioned: "The Weaving Bureau will inevitably lose the five thousand extra horses, so how can we solve the problem?"

Yan Shifan replied: "What if there is another way? For example, the Weaving Bureau will buy [-] bolts of silk from these craftsmen at a price of three or four renminbi."

Xu Weixue couldn't believe it even more, "The local silk market should be around five renminbi, and the price of three or four renminbi is too low! How could those craftsmen sell it!"

Yan Shifan continued: "Of course the craftsmen are not willing to sell if they only buy it at a low price of three or four renminbi, but if other conditions are added, it's not necessarily so.

For example, if selling silk at a low price to the Weaving Bureau can replace next year's service or apportionment, how can those craftsmen not be happy?"

Leader Xu is not

Xiaobai, who doesn't understand the world, was stunned when he heard Yan Shifan's "conspiracy", can he still operate like this?
The imperial court set up weaving bureaus in places like Suzhou and Hangzhou, which were supervised and managed by weaving eunuchs, and paid tribute to the imperial palace for silk fabrics.

There are two ways of production in the Weaving Bureau, one is self-owned equipment, and recruits military and civilian craftsmen to serve. For example, Hangzhou Weaving Bureau has more than [-] looms and more than [-] craftsmen of various colors.

Another way is to apportion directly to the artisan households, which can be regarded as a substitute for serving in shifts.This is the way to send [-] more horses this time.

Of course, craftsmen are not happy with the extra pie beyond the quota.But it would be more cost-effective to sell a certain amount of silk at a low price in exchange for not having to serve in the military next year or reducing it.

As far as artisans are concerned, no one wants to serve or receive official errands!
Therefore, Mr. Yan Shifan, who has rich experience in fighting Qin Dewei, has seen through all the tricks a long time ago:
"In this way, the craftsmen can get certain benefits, which is acceptable; and the weaving eunuch can get the most critical goods smoothly, and relies on Qin Dewei to help deliver the goods, so he will definitely agree!
And Qin Dewei himself will gain a huge reputation because he has solved the problem of excessive expropriation by showing favor to the common people!
On the surface, everyone is happy, but in fact, what will be damaged is the amount that will be handed over to the Weaving Bureau next year, which is the income of the Imperial Palace!
The government will only let you see what you can see, how many people can see through the truth behind it?"

Xu Weixue still couldn't believe it: "Silk is not cheap, and buying silk in large quantities requires capital. Weaving eunuchs are used to doing business without capital, so are they willing to spend money first?"

Yan Shifan said contemptuously: "I didn't tell you that Qin Dewei opened a bank? When Qin Dewei went to the capital, the bank opened in the capital. When Qin Dewei went to Hangzhou, the bank would definitely open in Hangzhou.

Let the bank lend a few thousand taels of silver bills to the weaving eunuch as the capital, so what can we lose? Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to open up the situation in Hangzhou and let the silver bills circulate, which can kill three birds with one stone!"

Speaking of this, Xu Weixue really believed it, and couldn't help but gasp. Is this the calculation level of the top boss in the imperial court?
Could it be that even the trouble of craftsmen in front of me was also directed by a certain middle hall behind the scenes? In the end, they managed to achieve multiple goals and reaped all the benefits from fame to real profit?
Yan Shifan took the opportunity to say: "That's why I want to deal with court figures, especially those like Qin Dewei who eat meat but don't spit out their bones. Without a smart person like me who is second only to Qin Dewei, you can't even touch the gate of the temple!
And don't you think it's scary to deal with Qin Dewei? For those of you who want to go ashore, Qin Dewei is really not the best person to take refuge in!"

Xu Weixue glanced at the "hostage" Yan Shifan, and said noncommittally: "We are only here to buy silk this time. Without silk, we can't explain it. We will talk about everything else later."

While talking, the gate of Zhizhi Mansion opened again, and Qin Zhongtang, who was sick, was supported by someone, and walked out tremblingly.

"Look, the one surnamed Qin is about to start acting, Mr. Xu, just wait and go to the Weaving Bureau to buy silk!" Yan Shifan signaled to Xu Weixue.

Then I saw Qin Zhongtang standing outside the gate of the weaving bureau, and said weakly to the craftsmen: "After my persuasion, the eunuch of weaving money has agreed, and all the five thousand additional horses will be waived!"

Qin Zhongtang's voice was not loud, only some people in the front could hear it, but it was enough, and the news spread quickly among the crowd.

Immediately, huge cheers erupted from the crowd, it was Qin Zhongtang who gave the best!
Xu Weixue and his party, who were standing a little far away, soon learned the news from the front.

Yan Shifan was stunned immediately, how could this be possible? How could it be possible for Qin Dewei to play the double reed without [-] bolts of silk?
This is absolutely impossible! Whether it's the weaving eunuch or Qin Dewei, it's impossible to pay such a huge price just to gain reputation once!
Without these 10,000 bolts of silk, how can the weaving eunuch go to sea to make a lot of money? What kind of business can there be in the weaving bureau, faster than directly earning [-] taels?
Qin Dewei, why can't you act honestly?
But Xu Weixue's face was ashen. The purpose of their coming to Hangzhou to find the Weaving Bureau was to buy these [-] bolts of silk! If these silks were gone, wouldn't they come to Hangzhou for nothing?
Not to mention that there are a lot of machine owners in Hangzhou that can be acquired slowly, the efficiency is too slow, and I don’t know how long it will take to get enough!
He, Xu Weixue, is a big merchant, not a small trader who deals in dozens of horses!
What he urgently needs now is to buy a large amount of silk in two or three months, so as to catch up with the voyage of the ship to return to the country of Wa by the monsoon!
Thinking of this, Chief Xu only felt extremely angry. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yan Shifan, gnashing his teeth and said, "You swore to come up with a good idea. You said that there must be a lot of silk in the weaving bureau. Where is it?"

Yan Shifan felt the breath of death again, and quickly shouted softly: "Don't panic! This is Qin Dewei's trickery, there must be more to come! Wait a little longer!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted "Qin Qingtian" very excitedly, and it didn't take long for the crowd to be infected and neatly shouted "Qin Qingtian".

Qin Zhongtang waved his hand shortly and feebly: "You are ashamed to accept it, since you have nothing to do, let's leave, so as not to scare other people."

After hearing Qin Zhongtang's order, the satisfied craftsmen dispersed in twos and threes, no one stopped them, and no one said anything else.

Leader Xu, who witnessed all this, thought of the time he had wasted traveling hundreds of miles from the sea to Hangzhou City, and the [-] bolts of silk he had sold.

Next to him, Mr. Yan Shifan, Mr. Yan, always made a sound judgment on Qin Zhongtang, and he could convince himself every time, but he was never accurate!
It is said that leader Xu will definitely be valued and attracted by Qin Dewei, but the result is the opposite; that Qin Dewei will definitely open the sea, the result is the opposite; that with the help of Qin Dewei, the Weaving Bureau will definitely send more silk to sell, the result is still the opposite
I believed in Uncle Yan's evil, and I was cheated step by step from Jingkou to the present!
Thinking of this, Leader Xu suddenly shouted to Yan Shifan: "Say! Did you do it on purpose? Trick us into Hangzhou City from the sea, and then catch all the turtles in the jar?"

After Chief Xu said this, several subordinates around him immediately held Yan Shifan down, and suggested: "It's inconvenient to have too many people in the city, why not find a wilderness outside the city, and treat Uncle Yan to eat Bandao noodles?" !"

Yan Shifan, who had experienced the test of death, was also impatient, and said without hesitation: "If you dare to do this, I will scream right here!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if you kill me on the spot, it will be difficult to escape from Hangzhou City in the end!"

Chief Xu laughed back angrily, "As a hostage, you, Uncle Yan, are you threatening me?"

Yan Shifan replied: "I didn't intend to do this, but in order to protect myself, I had to do this! Do I, Yan Shifan, deserve to die?
Advise Chief Xu to calm down, don't make mistakes, if you still want to go ashore!"

At this time, the craftsmen in front of the gate of the Weaving Bureau had almost dispersed, so Qin Zhongtang boarded the sedan chair with difficulty under the guards.

Then the great procession came along the street, and the leading knights began to drive away those who stood in their way.Xu Weixue and his party avoided the road early and hid in the side alley.

Yan Shifan pointed to the elite guards of Qin Zhongtang passing by, and said to Xu Weixue: "If I really want to die, I just need to shout here, then no one will die."

Xu Weixue snorted coldly, then turned around and rushed out suddenly, knelt down on the side of the road and shouted: "My Lord Qingtian! I have been wronged!"

Yan Shifan: "???"

He was so surprised, with his alertness, he didn't react.

Then someone stood in front of Xu Weixue and said something, and then heard Xu Weixue reply: "Xu Weixue, a businessman, sued someone for pretending to be the son of the old man, bluffing and defrauding!"

Yan Shifan: "."

All of these people are on horseback and don't want to be human anymore?
Half an hour later, in the Qin Zhongtang Shogunate Judgment Hall, Qin Zhongtang, who had recovered from his illness, sat behind the case, and in front of him were the plaintiff Xu Weixue and the defendant Yan Shifan.

Xu Weixue narrates his experience of being "fooled"
After the narration is over, stop talking.

Qin Zhongtang looked at Yan Shifan curiously, and said: "You fled without permission in Jingkou Post, and you disappeared for many days, but you still survived!
I ordered you to go to Shuangyu Island to inquire about the French robot's shipbuilding method, will there be any results?"

Yan Shifan went to the beam, arrogant and disdainful and refused to answer, if you Qin Dewei has the guts, use Shangfang sword to chop him!
Qin Dewei clapped the case and said: "You, Yan Shifan, don't want to be greedy for the prosperity of Hangzhou, you must go to Shuangyu Island! Ben Zhongtang ordered you to traffic [-] bolts of silk, and go to Shuangyu Island to atone for your sins!"

Yan Shifan ignored his arrogance, and asked vigilantly, "Where did the [-] bolts of silk come from? Do you want me to raise it?"

Qin Dewei said conveniently: "The shogunate needs money, so I asked the imperial court to use the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau's tribute this year and the [-] pieces of silk in stock as the start-up funds for the shogunate!
Then wait for the shogunate to turn over next year, and then return the same price of silver to the Weaving Bureau!
In this way, there is no need to increase the burden on the people of Zhejiang Province, and it is not necessary to crowd out the official banks of other yamen. "

Yan Shifan couldn't help being stunned. It is true that the newly opened government office needs funds, but it can still be done like this?
The Weaving Bureau is under the management of the weaving eunuch, and the weaving eunuch is not under the system of civil and military officials, but only under the jurisdiction of the ceremonial supervisor.

The rated silks of the Weaving Bureau are all used as tribute to the imperial palace. Unless the palace orders otherwise, no one can touch these silks!
Such an absurd petition, such a blatant act of collecting money from the eunuch system and the palace, how could the eunuch approve it? It is simply incomprehensible!
And according to Qin Zhongtang, want to "smuggle" these [-] horses to Shuangyu Island? There is something tricky here!
The market price of local silk in Hangzhou is 5000 yuan, and the market price of [-] pieces is [-] taels.

In other words, Qin Zhongtang nominally borrowed silk from the Weaving Bureau temporarily at a market price equivalent to 5000 taels of silver, and only needs to make up 5000 taels next year.

But if you smuggle 5000 bolts of silk to Shuangyu Island, you can sell it for [-] taels of silver! But on the surface, you only need to pay back [-] taels to the Weaving Bureau!
Between 5000 taels and 5000 taels, there is a price difference of [-] taels, which is tricky!
So Yan Shifan suddenly realized, no wonder Qin Dewei "persuaded" the weaving eunuch to cancel the extra distribution of [-] bolts of silk

Because there is no need to make extra effort at all, just move the ready-made ones out of the weaving bureau's warehouse!
He had already thought Qin Dewei too darkly enough, thinking that Qin Zhongtang was just helping weaving eunuchs, in order to harm public welfare and private interests by exchanging additional assignments for exemption!
Unexpectedly, what Qin Dewei did was even darker than he imagined! He directly used his power to collude with others, took things out of the warehouse, and smuggled them to earn a huge price difference!
After Yan Shifan figured it out, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

I always thought that only the Yan family and his son would be corrupt, but I didn't expect that even you, Qin Zhongtang, became like this. This Ming Dynasty is almost doomed!
He wants to report, write to Jingshi to report!
Xu Weixue next to him has opened his eyes wide since hearing the figure of [-] horses. For a merchant who is in short supply of bulk silk, what could be more tempting than this?
Originally, he was just thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch with Qin Zhongtang, and get rid of Yan Shifan, an annoying brown candy.

But I didn't expect to be able to reap the unexpected joy of knowing such important cargo information!
Seeing Yan Shifan's reluctance, Xu Weixue couldn't help but interjected, "I am willing to serve Zhongtang! I can also do some trafficking! Or I can eat all these silks directly!"

Qin Zhongtang seemed to remember just now that there was someone beside him, who turned his head and said to Xu Weixue: "I have always been willing to give people a chance, but you said it yourself first, how can I make Ben Zhongtang trust you?"

Since Xu Weixue dared to run out just now to contact Qin Zhongtang by "blocking the sedan chair and calling for injustice", of course he already had a method in mind.

When Qin Zhongtang asked, he immediately said: "I still have 40,000 taels of silver here, and I am willing to deposit it in Yuanfeng Bank!
"Crack!" Qin Zhongtang patted the table and said, "Then Zhongtang can trust you, and I will work hard in the future!"

Yan Shifan muttered loudly: "Idiot! Your surname Xu thinks that you stand here and hear such inside information. If you don't express it, you can still walk out of the shogunate alive?"

"Shut up!" Qin Dewei scolded, and ordered: "On behalf of the shogunate, you will traffic silk to Shuangyu Island with Chief Xu!"

Yan Shifan said angrily: "You smuggle for profit on a large scale, and you still want to drag me into the water? I, Yan Shifan, will never join with you!"

Qin Zhongtang said coldly: "This is an order! Chief Xu will watch you on the way!
