[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"Stop making trouble, tell me, what are you doing here? You are a busy man. You arrested Zhang Shiyi, Qi Qitou, and the white-haired golden knife as soon as you were cold-blooded, and solved the big case. I heard that your senior brother also contributed Quite a lot." Zhuge An asked.

"You're scolding me for going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, I can tell." Zhui Ming spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Nowadays Bianjing is raging, Uncle Shi is afraid that I won't be able to calm down, so he sent me out to play."

"Then you were sent to me?" Zhuge An rolled his eyes, this excuse was too insincere.The people of Zhuge'an knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, waved their hands, let the soldiers standing around go down, and said, "Can we talk now?"

"Uncle Shi asked me to ask you, have you ever replied to the officials." Zhui Ming said seriously.

reply?It seems that the emperor's letter to himself cannot be hidden from anyone, even Zhuge Zheng of "Xiaoyao Jianghu" knows about it, so the letters of other princes in his hands, including the letter of Prime Minister Zhang Dun, may not be hidden.Zhugezheng asked me well, not asking for my own opinion, but only asking if there was a reply.

"So what if you reply, so what if you don't reply? He wants to order me to fail?" If he and Zhuge were of the same mind, how could he go to the border to suffer? Over the years, the scars on his body have been repeated one after another. The old wounds have not healed, and new ones Isn't it just to get more right to speak, and not to listen to Zhuge Zheng me?

"Hey, you said that Uncle Shi just cared about you, so why did you become an instigator? I have only been in Zizaimen for five years, but I also deeply admire Uncle Shi for being a man. You were raised by Uncle Shi alone. It’s not an exaggeration for an elder brother to be like a father, why... Alas, A’an, in the past few years during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year’s Eve, there is always a sixth pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table. I can't see it, you don't go home every year, Uncle Shi has applied for loneliness behind our backs, he always cares about you!"

"Okay, don't be so rambunctious, why didn't I know that the famous god-legged chasing life is actually a mother-in-law's mouth, what did he ask you to do, just say it."

"Heihai, Uncle Shi said that you have been far away at the border all these years, and the news about Bianjing will inevitably lag behind. According to his humble opinion, it is still... more secure." Zhui Ming stretched out two fingers and gestured. So cautious, dare not follow the truth.

"Chi..." Xing Er, are you referring to Duan Wang Zhao Ji?Who knows the name of Song Huizong, his affair with Li Shishi, his thin golden body, and the shame of Jingkang will be 27 years later, Zhao Ji?Faint king!The people of Zhuge'an scoffed at Zhuge Zhengwo's judgment, "Go back and tell him that Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before usurping him. If you don't believe me, think again that things flock together and people are divided into groups. Look at Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and you will know Who is the King Duan they befriended?"

"A'an?" Zhui Ming anxiously called out, he is from the rivers and lakes, he likes revenge and licks blood, and he has no idea about the twists and turns in the government and politics, and he doesn't want to participate.Zhuiming thought to himself: As the chief coach of the 80 imperial army and deeply trusted by the officials, Uncle Shi has been deeply involved in it, and it is impossible to stay out of it.There is also Ah An, who is a friend, and even a brother. The position of the commander of the Zhenbei Army is not so easy to sit. He can't help but watch them get involved in the whirlpool.

"Zuiming, I heard that you are obsessed with wine. In order to win the fine wine "Zui Yunluo", you tracked the "Lingnan Double Pirates" for [-] days and nights without sleep, and didn't snatch the wine until the other party died of exhaustion. You As much as you love wine, drink well, the dirty court will only ruin your righteousness." Zhuge Anren said softly, his brother, as well as ruthless, iron hands, life-seeking, and cold-blooded are all first-class in the world. Yi's good people, they are upright, they worry about the country and the people, they are affectionate and righteous, but the people of Zhuge'an parted ways with them. It's not because they are bad, but because they have already embarked on a road of no return.

It's like chasing life. At the beginning, he was nominally trying to win the fine wine "Zui Yunluo", but what he actually wanted to catch were Lingnan double robbers. He didn't even touch a drop of the lottery he got after working hard day and night, and gave the ten taels of silver he exchanged for it to A pair of fleeing mother and son.Zhuiming loves wine and becomes obsessed, but in his heart there is something he loves more than wine and more important than himself-morality.Zhuge'an people often feel that there should be people like them chasing their lives in the world, so that he will not despair of this cold world.

"Okay! I heard that Zhenbei Army has baijiu, which is as clear as water and has a stamina like fire. I want to taste the first-class wine." Zhui Ming said coolly. They are not as smart as the two brothers of the Zhuge family, so let the smart people do these things, and he will just investigate the case.

"As long as you like, you can have as much as you want. Your baijiu is very strong. If you are drunk, you will have to sleep for a few days." Zhuge An also changed his mood and joked.

"Hahaha, I haven't drunk Zhuiming's wine yet. Come on, let me experience it. If you say that your wine is good in everything, it's just that the name is poor." Zhuiming is also a person who has tasted baijiu , but the name is too simple, not to mention compared with the elegant name "Zuiyunluo", even Nvnuhong, Zhuyeqing and the like.

"The name of the wine is so good, you will know after drinking it today." Zhuge Anren laughed.

After settling down and chasing his life, as soon as he returned to the study, Du Shaoqing, the prefect of Taiyuan, came.

Within the jurisdiction of the Zhenbei Army, the people of Zhuge'an have already held several positions, and they have all the military power, financial certification power, and judicial power in their hands, leaving only one administrative power in the hands of the court, and it is still symbolic.Brothers, nephews and nephews of Du Shaoqing's family were all in the Zhenbei Army, and they were rescued by Zhuge'an people back then. They not only had the grace of saving lives, but also tied their interests to the same boat, worthy of the name.

"Brother Shaoqing, what happened?" Zhuge An asked.

Du Shaoqing is over forty this year, but whoever made Zhuge Anren his boss, the officialdom only cares about the position, regardless of age.Du Shaoqing bowed deeply as he entered the door and said, "Beijing Central Committee issued an edict, allocating the quota for this year's young crops."

Zhuge Anren slammed on the table and said angrily, "Too much deceit! Whose name is it?"

The quota for young crops, what is that, is the young crops law!The most famous one of Wang Anshi's reforms had a good starting point, referred to as "agricultural microfinance" in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was used by treacherous officials, and the good scriptures were misrepresented.Besides, his interest rate is set too high. What comes out of the central government is [-]% interest, and after layers of checks, it is already [-]% or [-]% interest, which is the same as usury.This is still a government coercive measure, coupled with the influx of private capital, a good support for the agricultural policy has become a strategy for making money.The Young Crop Method has not been so bad since Wang Anshi taught it, it didn't get better later, it just got worse and worse!During the Xining and Yuanfeng years, the "green crops" harmed the people, but at least until after the autumn harvest, the people were forced to pawn their fields and houses, sell their children and daughters, and barely survive in the harvest years.In the later period of Shenzong, the peasants would throw themselves into the river or hang themselves empty-handed after receiving the money for young crops. The so-called "Gong Huang Manchao people are more miserable, it is better to be the uncle of the river."

Don't the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have people of insight?Yes, there are also people who saw the harm of the young crop law and restricted it, commonly known as improvement.However, there are policies on the top, countermeasures on the bottom, and "interpretations where applicable."What does it look like when these policies are implemented?Peasants can only go to the yamen to receive money for young crops on a certain day, and the time and money spent in the middle is negligible. But when they receive the money, the county magistrate throws a big feast at the yamen gate. As soon as the farmers leave the yamen with the money, they are arrested When it comes to the banquet, the banquet needs to be paid.Didn't the imperial court not allow the apportionment of young crops' expenses, and banquets are always not included.This kind of rascal is already a little better, and the peasants have at least had a meal.What's even more disgusting is that some county magistrates set up a stage to sing opera on the way before farmers receive the young crops. You have to pay to pass by the side of the road because you listened to the opera.What, you said you didn't listen?Just kidding, right at the gate of the yamen, is it the county magistrate who has the final say, or you?Whether to keep ears, eyes, or the young crop money just received.

The harm caused by the Young Crop Law is so great that Zhuge'an wrote letters to the officials many times and pointed out in some memorials, but it has had little effect.During the eight years when Empress Dowager Gao was in power, the old party used the young crop method as a spear to amass money wantonly across the country.When Zhezong came to power, completely abolished the new law, and put his mind on cracking down on the old party, who still remembers the Young Crop Law?Sima Guang, the authentic old party, was hunted down and all his works were burned. If the famous "Zizhi Tongjian" hadn't been written by Shenzong, those people would point to the preface and shout, "Should we destroy even the handwriting of the late emperor? " Only then has this ancient book of "in view of the past, it is worthy of governance" been preserved.Even the counterfeit "old party" Su Shi was sent to Lingnan to eat lychees. Everyone selectively forgot that Su Shi called Sima Niu in front of Sima Guang.Party disputes, and party disputes again, who still remembers the common people, who still cares about state affairs?

Those sages are around, within reach, but the Zhuge'an people did not reach out to save Su Shi. He was small and weak; secondly, he didn't want to "eat three hundred lychees a day, and never give up to be a Lingnan native" Fragments of good sentences; more importantly, the people of Zhuge'an have learned to look at "the ancients" with a normal mind.Yes, these people will leave brilliant names in the long river of history, but now, he is an ordinary person.Because he is "famous", it will not do Zhuge'an any good.

Zhuge'an received the edict presented by Du Shaoqing, which required all states, roads, governments, and counties to allocate "righteous warehouses" (a variant of green crop money) in a timely manner before spring plowing, and the interest rate was still two cents.Sima Guang, who was the leader back then, personally explained to the Empress Dowager Gao that the Young Miao Law was originally an act that benefited the country and the people, but it was used by treacherous villains. Loans to voluntary borrowers.

Volunteer?When did Zhuge An's subordinates implement the young crop method?Such edicts have never been sent to him in these years.These sites were fought by Zhuge'an people with real knives and guns, and only he can control them. He is familiar with the scriptures and history, so he doesn't know the harm of the young crop method.Now it is not only provoking him, trying to implement "imperial policy" in his territory, but also forcibly distributing it!They swallowed all the policies formulated back then, right? It's clear that they want to provoke trouble!

Zhuge'an sneered, shook the imperial edict in Du's hand, and said, "Take it to the fire."

"Master, but..."

"No, but, in my territory, there is no such three words as Qingmiaofa. I want to see, who dares to ask more questions!"
