Mixing ancient times with Taobao

chapter 302

"I have read Aiqing's work report. In three years, more than 22 refugees have been assisted, hundreds of miles of roads have been built, the old city walls have been reinforced, new city walls have been built, and all drainage channels in the city have been dredged. The grain tax paid in the first quarter was as much as 183 million shi. In the next three years, the total business tax paid was 42 taels. Good, good, good! If all the officials in the world are like Aiqing, how can we worry about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty? ? Why are you afraid of the Tartars in the north? The Northern Expedition will surely succeed!!”

Those officials who were not officials were dumbfounded!

My mother!

Is this Zuo Yunshu still human? !
183 million stone grain was handed over last year? ! !
Now the annual grain tax in Ming Dynasty is about 1700 million shi, which is the result of promoting high-yield rice in Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other places.But what did they hear now?
Only one county in Wujin handed over 183 million stone grain? !The grain tax paid by this small county accounts for one-ninth of the total grain tax in the country!

Not to mention that this guy actually paid 42 in business taxes in the three years since he took office? !He also built hundreds of miles of roads, consolidated the city walls, built a new city, and helped so many refugees...

Is this guy still human?
As for corruption and looting, these ministers don't think so.

Because a piece of land is so big, no matter how Zuofu searched, it is impossible to collect so much money for face projects within three years.

So there is only one possibility: this guy is indeed not a human being, he is really a god.Otherwise, how could so many things be accomplished in three years?

You know, she even fought a battle with the Qing army!

All the ministers felt that it was like a dream, but Zeng Ying was not surprised.

His people will naturally report to him when they arrive in Changzhou.So Zuo Fu was reported on how he made scientific and technological inventions, how he ran schools, how he compiled educational books, and how he did things related to people's livelihood.After reading the reports of his subordinates, he also found it incredible.

It turns out that there are so many mysterious connections in this world, as long as you study them carefully, they can be used to improve people's livelihood, and even strengthen the country and enrich the people.

The exquisitely designed automatic drainage system, the cage fish farming method that can produce more than [-] jin per mu, the three-dimensional planting method, the honeycomb coal, the honeycomb furnace...

Every change can bring great happiness to the people.The vigorous and resolute means have allowed the people to have a stable living environment.Merchants pay taxes according to the law, squires keep their jobs, and officials work hard. How could such a place not become a paradise?

Seeing the reports of his subordinates, even he yearned for Changzhou.

It must be good to retire in such a place, right?
"I don't dare to take credit for it. I rely on the mighty virtue of the emperor and the support of the common people. It is a gift from His Majesty to be the first female parent official in this court. I dare not let you down." Your Majesty, the only thing we can do is die and die."

As soon as this remark came out, there was laughter.

But how dare a seventh-rank official say this?Who do you think you are?

"Who's laughing?"

Zhu Cihong's slightly displeased voice came, "Don't those who sneer think that Zuo Aiqing's words are arrogant and unworthy of saying such words?"

The hall immediately became quiet.Zuo Fu who was standing under the jade steps also sighed.

Three years ago, he was still a gloomy young man; but three years later, he has become an emperor, and his every move is governed by the laws of the imperial power.

"If all the officials in the world are like Zuo Aiqing, how could my Ming Dynasty have lost half of the country?! How could the first emperor die tragically in Meishan?!"

The emperor's voice echoed in the court, and everyone was silent, not daring to say anything.

The atmosphere once condensed.

I don't know how long it took before Qian Qianyi, the first assistant, came out holding the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. Mr. Zuo is still young, when he said this, it was like a child imitating an adult, so some people couldn't bear it." Stop laughing."

"absurd!"

Zhu Cihong scolded: "Aspirations don't depend on age, the chief assistant is a university scholar, and has read a lot of poetry and books. Don't you understand such a simple truth?!"

Zuo Fu was also very helpless.

She is just a dog of science and technology, and the ancient Chinese she learned has long been a teacher.If it wasn't for Daming, she wouldn't even be able to say these "gentle" words, okay?
"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Zuo Fu cupped his hands, "The man I want to laugh at doesn't mean it, it's just a trivial matter, don't get angry and hurt the dragon's body, and hurt the harmony of the monarch and ministers."

"Although Aiqing is a woman, she is quite magnanimous. I am very happy, so I will rely on Aiqing and never get angry again."

The courtiers looked at each other, feeling a little jealous.

One sentence melted the anger of the emperor, the feelings of these ministers are really good.

But if people kept the Great Ming Dynasty, even a fool as stupid as Emperor Hongguang would be kind to this lord, right?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zuo paid 42 taels of business tax in three years, which is really unbelievable."

Wang Duo suddenly said: "My Ming Dynasty is not proud of collecting business tax. Even if I collect it, it is only 15 per cent. There are only [-] households in Wujin County. How can I collect so much business tax?"

Zuo Fu's eyelids twitched, and he sneered in his heart: Sure enough, the troublemaker came.

"Aiqing, you can answer Wang Aiqing yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My lord, in the past three years, Wujin has taken in as many as 22 refugees, and many refugees have been brought back by me. Now there are nearly one million people in Wujin County. After I took office, I first built roads, and then attacked the local area. Unscrupulous merchants and evil gentry confiscated most of their property and turned it over to the state treasury, leaving only a part for the support of local civilians.

In the past three years, businessmen and gentry have abided by the law, and all miscellaneous taxes are exempted. Those who have land cultivate, and those without land go to work in the city. I have implemented a minimum monthly salary standard for recruiting workers in the local area, so even those without land can live well.People have money in their hands, so they have to spend it. In this way, merchants earn more and pay more taxes.In a city of millions of people, the business tax is only 42 in three years. Is this a lot? "

The sentence "Is this a lot?" completely angered Wang Duo.

"absurd!"

He pointed at Zuo Fu with a wat board and cursed: "You're full of nonsense! Then Li Xuan deserved what he deserved, but what about that squire Wang in Wuxi?! Zuo Fu, you really have the guts to raid your house in the name of suppressing bandits." Extortion! If you are not guilty, why would the squire Wang be beaten to death?!"

"The people are so angry, how can we stop them?"

Zuo Fu said in a calm tone, "Are you asking me to draw swords to deal with the people according to your lord's intention? Besides, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, but the presiding judge has not had time to pronounce the sentence in the future. How can we talk about injustice?"

"Then why do you still have to punish people for property?!"

"That's a strange thing to say!"

Zuo Fu said: "Of course the ill-gotten gains will be confiscated! The clean land, silver, and the magistrates of Wuxi didn't confiscate a cent, and left them for their families to live on."

"Ah."

Wang Duo sneered, "So, the sufferer has to thank you?"

"is not that right?"

Zuo Fu also sneered, "Back then, it was only a hundred acres of land, but after three generations, there are seventy thousand acres of land, and there are countless gold, silver and jewels! If it weren't for being concerned about the official voice, the officials would really want to take that one hundred acres of land for themselves! Then But what a cornucopia! So many lands and so many gold, silver and jewels can be produced in a few decades.

In my opinion, His Majesty still sent someone to fetch the land.Then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty went to stand on that piece of land, even though they sprinkled rice fields up, so that the land would be prosperous and fertile, and gold and silver mountains would be born in a blink of an eye, and there would be silver, rice and grain for the Northern Expedition. "

These words were smug and sticky, and they didn't give the emperor teacher, the Grand Master of the Palace of Prudence, and the number two member of the cabinet any face.

Want to write an article on this?Want your own life? !snort!Don't blame me for being unkind!

"You, you, are full of market slang, it's simply insulting to the gentleman!"

The phrase "Mi Tian Gong" almost made Wang Duo vomit blood with anger.

As the emperor's teacher, he is naturally a well-learned person.On weekdays, the fighting power in this court is quite strong.But today he happened to meet Zuo Fu, this man wants to quarrel with a woman, how can he handle it?

Zuo Fu smiled, "I'm a military general, a generation of ignorant people, does your lord still care about this with me?"

Hearing these shameless words, Wang Duo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.Pointing at Zuo Fu, he said, "You are a fool!"

"My lord, what I said is the truth. If the squire Wang surnamed did good deeds, why would so many people report him? There is no wronged soul under my Zuofu knife."

"Arrogance, arrogance, extreme arrogance!"

"My lord, the county magistrate of Wuxi has already submitted the report to Cui Yushu, the magistrate of Changzhou. Mr. Cui has also submitted the official document to the Ministry of Punishment. The ins and outs of this matter are clearly stated in the official document, and the testimony of the witnesses is not half false. people to check."

Zuofu cupped his hands, "There is nothing you can't say to others. I, Zuofu, walk straight and stand upright. There is no need to play tricks on this matter. And I am not against the squires. If this is the case, I will treat all the squires Wouldn't it be great if they ransacked their homes?

Since the country gentry is a country sage, of course he must set an example.It's not the work of a sage to take the lead in resisting taxes and concealing the land property, right? "

"Hmph! I will investigate this matter thoroughly! You don't need to remind me."

"Then I will wait for your lord to investigate thoroughly."

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise! The words of the saints are true!"

"Yes, the sage said that. I also feel that this little girl is small-minded and can't stand being wronged. So I want to ask my lord, what should you do if you can't find anything?"

Wang Duo was stunned on the spot.The other officials were also dumbfounded, and a sentence popped up in their minds: Son, are you out of your mind?

This is a senior scholar of the Palace of Prudence, the second in command of the cabinet, you, a seventh-rank official, let this boss explain to you?Are you stupid?

"Reputation is the most important thing in a person's life. Although I am humble, I cannot allow others to accuse and frame me at will!"

Zuo Fu turned cold, "I, Zuo Fu, did not become an official through the imperial examination, let alone a man. For thousands of years, has there ever been a woman who has been an official? Every step I take is walking on thin ice, and I dare not neglect it. But now it is good, I rushed to report to the emperor, but someone made a fuss about it. I would like to ask Mr. Wang, do you suspect that I have misconduct? Or..."

She looked at Wang Duo, and suddenly said loudly: "Or is it because I am a woman, that you are deliberately looking for an opportunity to capture me and drive me out of this court?!"
