Chapter 247 Undercurrent

[About Xing Zhao’s psychology, I’ve thought about it for a long time after I finished posting yesterday. Xing Zhao didn’t make Min Jirou suffer or be blindly tolerant, let alone accuse Min Jirou.Based on the reason why she failed to enlighten Fang Fu, she explained to Min Jirou that she hoped that she would let go of her obsession, and there was no need to put herself in a dead circle.The disappointment that came over for a moment, I think this is also true, Xing Zhao is not the Virgin, and Xing Zhao has blood on his hands, so he strangely regards Min Jirou as the self who has not been stained with blood, but she, Fang Fu and Queen Fang are all or have been Lost in love and hate, Xingzhao hopes that Min Jirou can treat herself well, which is a kind of empathy and also a kind of sustenance and self-projection.And according to Min Jirou's character, Min Jirou's heart is definitely suffering and suffering when she sets up this situation.He held Min Jirou's hand, hugged Min Jirou back before leaving, and finally didn't even want to give things to Sister Ting, which showed that Xingzhao was actually supporting Min Jirou.Human nature, conscience and love, Ah Yuan set a trap for himself, and also made a circle for himself. In fact, this is also the point that Xing Zhao struggles with.I was in a hurry for yesterday's chapter, I didn't think carefully about some of my thoughts and words, and my mentality was not thorough enough, so after finishing this chapter today, A Yuan will make some changes, which have nothing to do with the main plot , but I don't change my heart.Okay, now back to the main thread~]

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was vast, and all commercial taxes were paid for one at thirty, and the purchase price was set to more than 40 taels, and every tael was taxed at one cent and five per cent of silver.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and fertile, and merchants are able to trade smoothly and extend in all directions. There are official roads for land travel and canals for water flow. Fishing, woodcutters, farming, and reading are all accessible. In addition, intercommunication is popular. There are many gentry and handsome men. The prosperity of Jiangnan is the accumulation of money and soil The prosperity of Dingjing is the accumulation of the imperial city and monarchy.

In such a wealthy place, the tax money and memorials submitted every time are actually "to make ends meet", borrowing from waterlogging disasters today, and famine years tomorrow, to ask the court to allocate money to fill disaster relief supplies.

"Do you know how much relief supplies the imperial court allocates to Jiangnan every year?"

The sixth prince asked Xing Zhao.

Xing Zhao shook his head.

The sixth prince compared a number in his hands, Xing Zhao frowned and asked, "3 taels of silver?" The sixth prince shook his head, Xing Zhao frowned deeper and deeper, and asked again: "30 taels?"

The sixth prince shook his head again.

Xing Zhao recalled that the sixth prince had mentioned to her that Da Zhou's annual tax revenue was nearly 3000 million taels of silver. A few years ago, the war with the Tatars had nearly emptied the treasury. Li Lingqing was in charge of the household at that time. As long as someone asks the Ministry of Households for money, Li Lingqing will always straighten his neck and shake his head, "No money! If you want money, you will die!"

Money, money, the lifeblood of the people, and the heart of the emperor, are like a tiger's buttocks, which cannot be touched at all.

Unless the donkey kicked the brains of the Jiangnan officialdom, they would not dare to open their mouths to steal more money from the emperor's pocket.

Xing Zhao frowned and looked at the sixth prince, who chuckled lightly before replying, "3000 taels of silver."

Xing Zhao immediately understood, what can 3000 taels of silver do?The amount of money that the Marquis of Lin'an moved in and out of the Mansion was almost [-] a year, and Jiangnan officials took one and a half of the Marquis of Lin'an's money to control the water, resettle the victims, dredge the river, and make constructions on the huge piece of land in the south of the Yangtze River. Some achievements?

how could it be possible.

"Looking for some silver from the central government, it's just that Jiangnan is showing his attitude to the emperor—we don't have much silver here, can you see that we are still begging the imperial court to allocate money?" Xing Zhao raised his head and asked six Prince, "How much tax does Jiangnan pay to the imperial court every year?"

"Two million taels of silver. In the account books of these ten years, there is hardly more than 200 million. When I checked the account books, I found that if Jiangnan had not asked the imperial court for funds, the tax money paid would have been about 230 million. With the payment, the tax paid can be more than one hundred thousand taels."

The sixth prince said concisely.

Xing Zhao was a little dazed when he heard that, what's the matter?The south of the Yangtze River is a land of wealth and wealth, and it only pays more than 200 million taels of tax silver a year?What about the rest of the money?

Thinking in his heart, Xing Zhao asked the question out of his mouth.

"The rest of the money? The governor said it was used to subsidize disaster relief and maintain the flow of the river, so he can take out the account book. These days, I have checked the details of the accounts for the past ten years. Most of the accounts I have done are very good. It fell to the ground—buying stones, labor to widen the river, buying sand, running a school, and then contacting the Jiangnan government. But I know that the Jiangnan officialdom has done nothing, and the rest of the white money is spent layer by layer. , And then peeled off layer by layer, a huge officialdom is like a sieve, if there is a leak here, there will be nothing left."

The sixth prince raised the teacup, took a sip, and spoke very calmly, but Kezhao's eyes fell on the man's strong hand, which held the teacup tightly, and then listened to the sixth prince's words.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. When Li Lingqing and I went to intervene in Jiangnan affairs, some people in Jiangnan official circles dared to play tricks behind their backs. Who knew that they had done so, which attracted the attention of the court. After a while, a group of local officials in the south of the Yangtze River who were originally in the same spirit have also been involved. The officials in the south of the Yangtze River have been honest for a year or two, and now they have returned to their old ways, even worse than before. At the turn of summer and autumn, people's finances, houses, and even their own lives will be threatened. I hugged the driftwood and soaked in the river for three or two days. , far more violent than the coldness of being immersed in the river water. If I could not survive then, could the floating beams and paintings in the Jiangnan officialdom, which were carved like rotten wood, finally be uprooted by the emperor's anger?"

Serious people are the most beautiful, and serious men are even more so.

This is the first time that Xing Zhao heard the sixth prince look back on that period of life and death.

A thought suddenly flashed in Xing Zhao's mind, the affairs of the Jiangnan officialdom had become a serious illness, why did he suddenly come into the sight of the sixth prince at this time and caught his attention?Is it a coincidence or artificial?If it is man-made, what is the intention?
"How did you find those account books?"

Xing Zhao asked softly.

The sixth prince was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It was found by a young doctor in the household department. I turned over two pages and felt something was wrong. I took the account book to find Li Lingqing, and Li Lingqing sighed. He didn't say he wanted to take care of it, and he didn't say he didn't care about it, he just asked me to put down the ledger."

After the sixth prince spoke, his words gradually became shallower.

It's not right, it won't be revealed sooner or later, but at this time, Jiangnan's old account books are sent to his eyes.
The sixth prince's heart sank, the visitor was sure that he would not stand idly by, but chose to continue the investigation!

The sixth prince and the Jiangnan officialdom are purely new and old enemies, and he almost lost his life in the Yellow Springs. In addition, the sixth prince has a straight-faced personality and can't rub the sand in his eyes. Do you want to deepen the conflict between the sixth prince and the Jiangnan officialdom? ?Two dogs fight, play off.

Ever since he came back from Prince Yu's mansion that day, Xing Zhao has been very listless. He didn't even mention it in front of the sixth prince. He was bored in his heart. The more bored he was, the more he looked like a piece of Chen Tieweight hanging on the tip of his heart. Liu pushed the matter to Xing Zhao to talk about it, thinking about the matter in his heart, but it didn't feel so boring.

"Li Lingqing is doing it for your own good."

Li Lingqing asked the sixth prince to put it down. Although his attitude in handling this matter was cowardly and compromising, it was indeed for the benefit of the sixth prince in his heart.

Xing Zhao then asked the sixth child, "Do you want to continue to intervene?"

The sixth prince remained expressionless for a moment, and when he raised his head again, the corner of his mouth smiled, "Yes."

Xing Zhao also showed his face, looking at him and smiling.

It was an expected decision, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the mountains. Since I hold the account book in my hand and see the suffering in my eyes, it is impossible for the sixth prince to stand idly by. His integrity and stubbornness make people a little convinced and a little bit sorry Hard.

"There are floods in the south of the Yangtze River every year. All the wood soaked under the houses on the bank of the river are swollen. The wood is soaked in the water and becomes soft and brittle. But the villagers can only live like this. In their houses, they have no place to change houses because of the exorbitant taxes. The mansions in the city are well-built, with carved beams and painted walls, stone lions and brave ones, it is a completely different world."

The sixth prince was aroused to confide in him, and he spoke with some melancholy.

"If you don't repair it for a year, the common people will suffer for an extra year. Since someone has sent the account book to me, if I don't take any action, I'm afraid that the man's city will be left behind." The sixth prince counted Counting the days, "It's mid-spring now, and it's mid-summer again. There are not many days left. Wait for another year at most, at most."

This is directly putting the blame on Chen Xian's head.

However, Xingzhao felt that Chen Xian had been used to being a civil servant all his life, thinking about problems and doing things, going around, going around, and instead detoured himself into the eighteen bends of the mountain road?

What would you do if you changed to Fang Qi?
The white knife goes in, the red knife goes out, the sixth child is dealt with, and the second child immediately takes over.

Where do you need to spend so much money?
It wasn't long before Xing Zhao had finished thinking like this, and he didn't know whether Chen Xian had been sensed, or whether he had planned a long time ago, Xing Zhao's dream had come true.

Even deeper, Xing Zhao was wearing silk clothes and sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed reading a book. Someone outside tapped on the window panel. Xing Zhao couldn't concentrate on everything. Hearing that, he called people to come in first, then poked Xing Zhao's creaking hole with the tip of Langhao's pen, and said in a low voice: "Others have two ears to listen to the music, but we have two ears for decoration."

Xing Zhao's eyes turned sharply, and the sixth prince immediately sat upright.

As soon as the sixth prince sat up straight, Lian Yu came in from the outside, blessed, with a calm expression: "Miss, the aunt Yan who made people stare at the kitchen, and the comprador who was in charge of buying abalone's wings have recently made movements. Yesterday, the servants in the palace were on vacation. Some people came to look for Aunt Yan, and some came to look for the comprador. The little girl who was in charge of watching Aunt Yan said that Aunt Yan had stuffed something in her hand, and the comprador acted low-key. It was spotted."

Xing Zhao raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the sixth prince.

The sixth prince nodded his head as a confirmation, and Lianyu backed away.

The sixth child didn't speak, so Xing Zhao put the book on his lap and looked at him quietly—but don't disturb his man's thinking. After waiting for a long time, Xing Zhao's arms were sore before waiting. Let the sixth prince say a word.

"Tell me. How about assigning the lotus jade to that Mao Baihu next to your brother?"

Xing Zhao only hated that he didn't have tea in his mouth, otherwise he would spray him with a dignified face!
 Desperately trying to code two chapters, but the true nature of the scum.Tomorrow Ah Yuan must be vigorous!
