   Chapter 2166 Flower War (seventy-four)

Writing memorials requires writing, and writing letters also requires writing. He has written memorials and set up stalls in the streets. He makes a living by writing letters, banners, couplets, etc. for others. Fang Guancheng also worked in Donghuamen before. Make a living helping people measure words.

   Ten elder brother Yin likes to make friends with strange people. If he hadn't introduced Zhang Mingde to Yinsi, and Zhang Mingde didn't say those "destined", maybe Yinsi would not have participated in the succession.

The Qing law did not stipulate that beggars could not take the imperial examinations, but it clearly stipulated that those who opposed the etiquette, such as wizards and cult leaders, were guilty of spreading evil books, demagogic people, sedition by letters and announcements, privately printing, distributing, or in public. Those who preach rebellion in the venue are all guilty, and of course these people cannot take the imperial examinations. However, Fang Guancheng's problem is not his status as a fortune teller. He is a survivor of the literal prison. If it weren't for his too young, he should have been assigned to HLJ.

  The fear of the Literary Prison made officials tremble when writing memorials, for fear that their own would also commit the taboo of "the breeze is illiterate, so why are they flipping the book randomly", so there is a "tradition" of staff writing on behalf of them.

   He is the only one in the whole family. If something goes wrong, the king of the small county can also put all the blame on him.

"Baimen" was a popular ceremony in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. Baimen needed to be introduced by someone, and then presented a "protégé post" to the worshiper and paid "Zhi Jing", usually property, gifts, and the location is also one's own home. However, isn't it right and proper to pay back debts?

In the 51st year of Qianlong’s reign, Hubei encountered a famine. A peasant named Liu Dama borrowed grain everywhere. The local squire Mei Tiaoyuan was worried that his family would be implicated, so he asked his son to tie Liu Dama and others to the monk. Temple tortured, and then buried twenty-three people together. Qianlong was very angry when he found out. At that time, he had spent 5 million taels for disaster relief. Only when disaster relief was not effective and the victims could not get any benefits would they **** rice and grain. Therefore, the governor of Huguang, the political envoy, and the inspector Xiaosheng County were all dismissed from their posts, and Mei Tiaoyuan was executed by Ling Chi.

   When others have surplus food, why should they lend you the surplus money? What if you don't get on?

  Because the interest rate is high, others are willing to borrow. During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty, in order to quell the rebellion, it was necessary to raise military expenses. The nobles who went on expedition also borrowed the merchants' property and promised to return it tenfold after winning. If they lost, the merchant's investment would bear the full loss, and he would not be able to find a living person to get the money back.

   There are also people who were forced to die by loan sharks. Li Wei made a case when he was the governor of Zhili, and returned the land products that died because of loan sharks to their original owners.

  Zhili's land acquisition was very serious, they would use the land as collateral to borrow usury loans. The people were displaced without money, and they went to rich places. They usually went to the south of the Yangtze River. It is better to be a beggar in the south than to stay in Zhili and be a "slave".

  Li Wei was the servant of Prince Yong, and later became an official by donating officials. His background is very simple, and he has nothing to do with the imperial court. It is precisely because of this that Prince Yong cultivated him.

If forced to repay the debts, then Yong Rong will probably be disciplined by the elders like Mian Hui, and Ce Leng only dares to order the repayment of the money. Does he still order the soldiers of Uliasutai to be like Genghis Khan? South?

The purpose of    the disciples is to attract disciples to expand their influence, and some people want to make money through disciples. "A Dream of Red Mansions" was once a banned book, and Cao Xueqin was fortunately dead. But people who have read the book say it is good, so 30 years after the book was published, it has been popular as a manuscript.

He Shen also got a copy of the Siku Quanshu when he was sorting out the book. It was a pity that it was such a good book, so he found Gao E, who was a tutor for Fengshen Yinde in his own home, and ordered him to rearrange "The Story of the Stone". Remove inappropriate content for publication.

   After the publication of "Dream of Red Mansions", Gao E has a poem saying: Enlightenment is light and free Zen.

   Qianlong's ascension to the throne was not as dangerous as Yongzheng's. On the day of Kangxi's grand expedition, he was in Changchun Garden, where most of the princes who stayed in Beijing were there, while Prince Yong was in the Temple of Heaven at that time.

The journey from the Temple of Heaven to Changchun Garden is about 20 miles away. The messenger rides a horse, and Prince Yong rides a carriage. It takes about 4 hours if neither of them can pass through the inner city. It took 8 hours to get to Changchun Garden. What did he do in these 4 hours?

  BJ was designed to be besieged from the day it was designed. Half of the ponds in Shichahai are in the outer city, which is also convenient for residents to get water.

Its city wall is very strong, it is difficult to attack from the outside, and it is also difficult for people inside to get out. This is the importance of the nine gates. Once the gate is closed, you can "catch turtles in the middle of the city", this idiom is used like this of.

   When Qianlong ascended the throne, many people had already guessed that he was the successor, and it turned out to be the case later. The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to expel the monk Yongzheng raised in the forbidden garden.

Yongzheng, like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to concoct pills, but it is unknown whether he died suddenly after taking pills as in the "Red Pill Case". It suddenly became impossible for him to do office work, but he did not issue a widow like Wanli, exempting the mining tax, and his condition did not improve. At the age of 58, he took his last breath in Yuanmingyuan.

  Wenjue was, after all, a meritorious minister who supported Yongzheng's ascension to the throne. Qianlong could only assign him to his native place and let people take care of him, and this place happened to be Suzhou.

   Since Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi, the Cao family is Jiangning Weaving. The last Jiang Ning Weaving Cao Fu lived until the Yongzheng period. His memorials were full of gossip in the streets, but he did not write about the financial aspects.

   In "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is written that Jia's house has found illegal items. As long as they don't hide dragon robes, it is not surprising that there are one or two items that are the same as those in the palace.

   Cao Fu's talents are mediocre, and his family, Ding Hanchen, handles all the weaving affairs. Li Xi is Kangxi's henchman, and Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin is his brother-in-law. They bet on Yinsi.

  Unexpectedly, Yongzheng ascended the throne. On the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, he re-examined the Li Xi shortfall case. After Cao Yin learned the information, the first thing he did was to transfer assets.

  In any case, although the Cao family has fallen, their intelligence network can still be used, and it came in handy in Qianlong's thirty-three-year-old ghost case.

   Knowing his son Mo Ruofu, he also knew his father Mo Ruozi. Qianlong was also a person who had experienced nine kings to seize the heir. "No king in the south, constant relatives in the north" was one of the three major national policies of the Qing Dynasty. Through the marriage of Manchu and Mongolia, some allies were obtained, and they became the backbone of the defense against Mongolia's southward movement in the policy of "Chongshi to control its life". Kangxi Pingsan It was Horqin who blocked Geldan, who wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of his troops to go south.

  The strength of the Mongolian concubines should not be underestimated. Sun Celang, the eighteenth generation of Genghis Khan, was also a concubine.

   Qianlong's intention to refer to marriage and adoption in this way is already obvious. Yong Rong's acceptance of a scholar who was a tutor in the county king's mansion is not just a gift.

Yong Rong likes astrology and is also interested in Zhouyi. The thirty-sixth hexagram is called Mingyi hexagram. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" says "If you don't see it, it's called Yi, if you don't hear it, it's called Xi, and if you fight it, it's called Wei. These three cannot be crossed, so they are mixed into one.”

   "Shan Hai Jing" has a record of the Dongyi people: the Yi people are in the east of Donghu.

   Bows and arrows are instruments invented by human beings to avoid close hand-to-hand combat with beasts or enemies. In traditional Zhou rituals, the shooting ritual does not hit the target, and it means that morality is righteous, and ritual and music are in harmony.

  The Dongyi people are said to have invented bows and arrows. According to legend, Houyi, the marksman who shot down nine golden crows, is a Dongyi people.

  The mica screen has a deep candle shadow, and the long river is gradually sinking and Xiaoxing is sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart is blue and blue.

  The elixir that Chang'e stole was bought by descendants who shot the sun. In the fifty years of Qianlong's reign, there was a drought in Henan. It wasn't like Gansu donating prisons and taking money.

   In the 51st and 52nd years, there was also a drought, and finally there was a "human cannibalism".

In Shuowenjiezi, Yi is called a person from the East, who can hold a bow. In ancient times, when making bows and arrows, he would straighten the bow. .

  The sea of ​​hardships is boundless, and continuing to advance will bring damage. The Mingyi Gua represents thinking about danger in times of peace, the world is unpredictable, and adversity is unavoidable.

   The previous hexagram of this hexagram is the Jin hexagram.

  The last hexagram means family. Integrity and majesty are the foundation of family governance. Only by respecting and loving each other can we be harmonious and happy.

   When you are alone at home, you should also reflect on yourself, be careful of your loneliness, and stick to the right path when many people are together.

When he was looking at the memorials that had accumulated dust for many years in the library, Heshen's house was busy. He was in charge of building it, not only the temple of Xumi Fushou, but also palaces and pavilions to expand his home. Just a little effort.

   Mingyi Gua also means hurting oneself. Everyone is famous, so why is the gap so big?

Later, he turned to the papers of two people. One was written by Chen Hongmou. During the Yongzheng period, he encouraged land reclamation, and local officials lied about their achievements in order to be rewarded and promoted. Chen Hongmou returned to his hometown to bury his relatives. Mu, in fact, not one acre has been cultivated.

  The Qing Dynasty did not fully follow the "one whip law", and it was a reform to share the tins into the mu, and the dingyin tax was incorporated into the field tax.

   That is to say, those with less land will pay less, those who have no land will not pay, and those with more land will pay more, and the 200,000 mu of land reported by the Governor of Yunnan out of thin air will have to pay so much tax. Where does this money come from?

  Guangxi is already mountainous, and the reclaimed land is barren, and only corn can be grown.

However, the book was handed over, and the Governor of Yunnan was also sent to investigate, but Emperor Yongzheng died suddenly. It is easiest to do things when "changing the dynasty". Compared with other "big things", no one remembers this "small thing". .

   In the second year, Chen Hongmou filed a memorial again. This time, the Zhu Critic was written by Qianlong. He sent the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to investigate, and the situation was quickly verified.

The other is the memorial of the Changlu Salt Administration in Xining, which reported the progress of the construction of the Arhat Hall in Rehe. This temple was built according to the Biyun Temple in Hangzhou, and the craftsmen were also found from Suzhou and Haining. There are 508 pieces of lacquer, each of which is the same size as a real person.

   He read a lot of memorials, and he didn't know why he remembered this.

   In the early Qing Dynasty, the term of office of Changlu Yanzheng was 1 year. Later, Xining was in office for 10 years. In the thirty-five years of Qianlong, the task of transporting and selling 1 million bales of salt was only completed 600,000 bales, and the tax was 560,000 taels and 3,700 taels were paid. Even so, Xining still suffered a discount under the pressure of salt merchants, hoping to slow down. For the collection of Chang Lu salt tax, Zhu Cui of Qianlong reprimanded him.

   After only 20 days, the tax and silver collected amounted to more than 550,000 taels, and only more than 10,000 taels remained uncollected. Qianlong was very puzzled by this, and ordered Xining to explain the real reason for "taking the liberty to ask for the exhibition limit".

  At that time, there was an imperial dock in Tianjin, where the Anfuxuan and other ships used for Emperor Qianlong's southern tour were stored here, and Changlu Yanzheng was responsible for the management and repair.

  The Anfuyao and Xiangfeng boats that Emperor Qianlong ordered Xining to repair originally only needed to replace the wooden board on the top layer of the boat, but Xining took the initiative to lift all the two layers of wooden board and the tin sheet in the middle and repaired. Qianlong disapproved very much, believing that he was spending so much time and trouble because he was "fighting for his own ability, hoping to see the good." of silver taels.

   Qianlong was very good at jade, but Ruyi Pavilion was too busy, so Qianlong handed over 56 pieces of jade to Xining to make, and Xining gave a memorial, saying that he could make a few more pieces and go back. Who would worry about such a "good man".

  Inner money is different from a pawnshop. Anyway, the people at the time couldn’t imagine that these two books would actually be related to his future. When he understood it, he was powerless to return to the sky, after all, Yong Rong was already dead at that time.

   "No Pretentious Gua" means don't act rashly, rashly advancing will cause trouble.

   At that time, he looked like he could become an official, but in the end it was a happy one.

   Lao Tzu said: The Great Dao is even more barbaric, but the people prefer the path.

  When the future is unclear and the future is unclear, people like to take shortcuts.

  The government is corrupt, the world is desolate, the warehouses are empty; people wear gorgeous clothes, carry sharp swords, don’t like food, and have excess wealth. These are all acts of robbers and do not conform to Tao.

  Don't act rashly until you know the situation, and don't listen to the rumors of prophets. So Juren, who was still saying, "I want to kill or cut" and "I refuse to eat in prison" just now, after eating enough wine and meat, he meditated, as if he really "became a Buddha on the ground", and he almost killed Nick!

  Georgianna laughed.

   "What are you laughing at?" asked Bonaparte.

   "It's nothing." She said with a smile, but she thought so.

Tom Riddle should really take a good look, if he didn't listen to Sybil's "witchcraft" and didn't take the shortcut of killing Harry Potter, everything might be different, but who told him that he also encountered an unknown future at that time? ?

  He wanted to do something to change his fate, but it was self-defeating. He marked Harry with the lightning scar on his head, making him a prophetic threat. Who told him to act as recklessly as a young man.

Fate is unjust, if he had a rich grandpa, or dad left as much money as Harry's vault...he would probably use it to recruit troops, after all he was Voldemort and he was good at creating conflicts and disputes , Peace is not what he wants.
