Liang Xianzun was really frightened. Like many people who had just met Gao Pragmatism before, they could accept the term "prodigy" for Gao Pragmatism. After all, there were indeed endless prodigies in the Ming Dynasty, and it was rare for any one dynasty to have few prodigies.
But these child prodigies are all "gods" who are quick-thinking and knowledgeable, but I have never seen such a pragmatic person who is not only good in knowledge, but also has insight into people's hearts.
Understanding people's hearts, shouldn't that be the skill of old foxes?
Obviously, these people don't know that during the Republic of China, there was a master named Li Zongwu who mastered a kind of knowledge called Houheixue. Since Gao Pragmatic traveled through time and had to mingle with officialdom, he was naturally a careful researcher of this knowledge. one.
Thinking that Houheixue was the essence of the feudal officialdom and Gao Pragmatism took it as his sect, how could these scumbags in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty escape his notice?
In his opinion, Yang Jiaoyu's skills were not only slippery, but also very measured. Because if the five counties jointly threaten to cause trouble, then they will conspire to rebel. It is too far. If one of them fails, it will arouse the resentment of the prefect Duan. If this person is a stubborn person, he may give them a life-and-death fight to see if it is me, the prefect. The master is great, but you, the county government officials, can do it.
However, it is different now that the other four counties are silent and only the smallest Jixi County is taking the lead. Jixi is a real lower county, with a small area and a small population. No matter how much trouble there is, it will never rise to the level of rebellion. However, by making such a fuss, they not only conveyed the threat euphemistically and implicitly, but also left enough face for the prefect to make things easier for him in the future.
It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, but in fact this is also a relativity theory. If the people make too much noise, the officials will also be afraid of the people. So most of the time, both sides maintain a tacit understanding of the balance of power, and no one will cross that bottom line.
Therefore, the political thinking of local officials in the Ming Dynasty has always been to maintain stability and to avoid troubles as political achievements. As for whether they are reasonable or not, that is a secondary issue.
The common people below also understand this logic, so when they encounter any disputes, they ignore whether it is reasonable or not, and yell for a while before making the situation worse. Because the bigger the situation is, the less likely it is to suffer losses. When the trouble gets bigger, in order to calm the trouble, the government often does not punish the people according to the law and distributes according to the trouble.
Although Mr. Liang now understands these principles, he only understood them thoroughly after Mr. Zhang’s patient explanation. And Gao Pragmatic, a little kid, is not like Master Zhang who has been relying on these skills to get around in various county government offices all year round. How did he see through it at a glance?
So Mr. Liang County was really scared, and for a moment his eyes looked at Gao Pragmatic with a hint of fear.
However, at the moment, Gao Jingshi was not only thinking about the boy's examination in three months, but also about his trip to Anyang. He really didn't have the intention to delay here with Liang Wu, so he said directly: "That is to say, Huizhou Prefecture has really been I'm right, am I going to use my procrastination skills to drag things out? But if that's the case, how could Shuai Jiamo become a fugitive?"
After what happened just now, Liang Wu didn't dare to be as casual as before when facing Gao Pragmatic. Hearing this, he quickly said: "The problem is that handsome Jiamo still refused to give up after he found out that Huizhou Mansion had nothing to do..."
So Liang Wu continued to convey the matter to Gao Pangshi.
It turned out that the person involved, Shuai Jiamo, had been waiting and waiting, but could not wait for the next step from Huizhou Mansion. He couldn't help but become anxious, thinking that it had not been easy to get to this point, how could it end without any problem? What is the crux of the problem here?
In fact, the key here is that Shuai can only do math questions, but not political questions; Yang Jiaoyu is just the opposite. Although he makes many mistakes in math questions, he can get full marks on political questions!
Yang Jiaoyu's application did not mention the right or wrong of the business, but only talked about the success of the official career. Shuai Jiamo, however, failed to read Shen Wen's subtlety and thought wishfully that the reason why the Huizhou government was unwilling to advance the case must be that the whole matter was not explained clearly enough - if he lived in the 21st century, he would be a very extreme person. A good programmer is someone who specializes in finding bugs.
So the programmer Shuai followed this idea and reconsidered it, and actually found that there was indeed a vague point in the previous submission.
In the early days of the Republic of China, the "summer tax raw silk" that all six counties lost was the "human ding silk" that She County alone lost today. There is no problem with this. But there is another question: How did the subject "Summer Tax Raw Silk" be changed to "Rentin Silk"?
Senior programmer Shuai Mou believes that as long as this key node is figured out, the truth will be revealed.
So the energetic Shuai Jiamo rolled up his sleeves and dived into the vast sea of documents. He wanted to find the key needle in the sea of archives from six counties that had accumulated for two hundred years.
This investigation lasted for three months. Huangtian paid off, and Shuai Jiamo actually found the clue: the secret came from the taxation subject.
Shuai Jiamo dug out the accounts given to Huizhou by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the past dynasties - similar to the statements of later generations. The words on the records were very clear: "Sit and take the Huizhou people's ding silk silk."
In other words, the subject that Nanjing's transportation warehouse wants Huizhou to collect is "people's silk silk", and it does not specify which county should pay it separately. In this case, it should generally be assumed that the six counties should share it equally.
But when Shuai Jiamo went to check the reminder documents sent by the Huizhou government to the six counties, he found that the subject "Ren Ding Silk" was missing. Only in She County's tax payment subjects, there is an additional "summer tax raw silk".
As a result, Shuai Jiamo suddenly realized that the hands and feet involved were already very clear.
When the Huizhou government levied taxes on She County, it used the name "summer tax on raw silk". It happened that She County did have a "summer tax on silk production" due to wheat debts at the beginning of the country, so the local government did not feel that there was any difference.
But after the tax came up, when the Huizhou government deported it, it took out the appropriate amount from "summer tax raw silk" and placed it under "rending silk silk".
In this way, the dove "Ren Ding Silk" openly occupied the nest of the bird "Xia Shi Sheng Silk". The tax burden that was originally shared equally among the six counties was unknowingly borne by She County alone.
The poor people in Shexian County had no idea what was going on. They had worked hard to pay taxes for two hundred years, but they didn't know that what they supported was actually the burden of the six counties.
Shuai Jiamo knew that the person who did this was definitely a master. He was not only familiar with the story of money and grain in the early days of the Republic of China, but also proficient in the document process. He cleverly used the subject of Xia Mai in She County to confuse the situation and create a beautiful move.
As for tax payment, once it becomes a routine and becomes a law, it will be implemented unswervingly and it will be difficult to change. As a result, She County handed over "human silk silk" for nearly two hundred years without even knowing that he was the father of someone else: he had been raising a cub for two hundred years.
Shuai Jiamo's eyes are bright, this must be a subordinate official from the Huizhou Prefecture who is cheating!
This guess is not based on speculation. In the Ming Dynasty's system, local officials turnover frequently, and they would leave after holding a position for a few years. And those local general affairs, such as money, food, punishment, and so on, are controlled by professional subordinates. These people are all local aborigines, their positions have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have professional skills that outsiders cannot understand at all. There is a lot of room for them to get their hands on them.
Especially money and food are the hardest hit areas, and petty officials have various means to turn things upside down. Subordinates with superb skills can even "make people in even the most distant places empty and have no one to live in, and those who don't have a home to live in are full of people." How awesome do you think this is? Huo Yuxia, an official during the Jiajing period, once wrote helplessly: "The food department of each county and household distributes food every year, and cheats from time to time." This shows the chaos at the grassroots level at that time.
Therefore, this move of dove occupying the magpie's nest must have been caused by the small official who handled it at that time, which made She County suffer unjust injustice!
Now that the truth is out, without further ado, Shuai Jiamo quickly wrote another submission, briefly describing his latest research results. He knew that officials had always been replaced from generation to generation, and if it was completely revealed, it would probably offend a large number of people, so he only vaguely mentioned the cause: "I didn't know what the evil was done in the past."
People don’t need to pursue the blame, after all, almost two hundred years have passed; but if something is wrong, it must be corrected.
At the same time, Shuai Jiamo also put forward another important argument: "Ren Ding Silk" is obviously a poll tax, so it should be charged based on population. And now that She County is being asked to pay alone, is it possible that the other five counties are all empty cities without a single person?
On September 25th of the fourth year of Longqing, Shuai Jiamo formally submitted this submission to Huizhou Prefecture, fully expecting to be able to "give a resolution and apply for detailed corrections."
It should be said that this submission is more convincing than the last time, and the two newly presented evidences are also very reasonable. But when the report was handed in, there was still no movement. In fact, Huizhou Prefecture did not even reply this time and completely turned a deaf ear.
After all, programmers don’t understand officialdom as well as official apes. Shuai doesn’t know that the key to this problem is not at all whether he can calculate math problems accurately or not, but whether the people from the prefect to the county magistrate and even more in Huizhou Prefecture wear their black gauze hats stably!
When things got to this point, other people would probably have accepted their fate, but Shuai Jiamo didn't back down. This upright programmer made an astonishing decision after realizing that he had no support from either Huizhou Prefecture or Yingtian House.
Go to Beijing to petition! I want to file a lawsuit!
