Chapter 453: The exchange of geese (2)
It was late at night, and in the study of Huang's house in Luobaishan, Huang Wenxiang sat alone at the table, holding a pen in his hand, facing the white paper on the table with a sad face. A quarter of an hour had passed, and I didn't know how to write.
In the afternoon, the father-in-law called him and Wei Yinlun together and scolded him in a rush. Although most of the words were directed towards Wei Yinlun, Huang Wenxiang, who was listening to him, always felt that Wei Libo was pointing accusations.
When Wei Libo revealed the true identities of the man and woman, Huang Wenxiang was scared and sweated. A state governor, there is no need to be afraid of the Huang family's family background. The key is that Jiang Anyi has a name circulated within the aristocratic family: the aristocratic family pollution.
Three of the top ten families in Zhengzhou fell directly and indirectly in Jiang Anyi, and the Li family in Qing Dynasty was in a slump; Liu Xinming, the former Minister of Revenue, lost his post because of Yu Zhijie, and the Liu family was dismissed from office, and the Liu family has been declining from then on. Then, the Minister of Works, Lu Jialin, impeached Jiang Anyi by the emperor and was scolded for being unethical in court. Now he is still staying at home to recuperate. It seems that the position of Minister of Works, is not guaranteed.
Will he cause trouble for the Huang family if he provokes Jiang Anyi? Huang Wenxiang is secretly guilty, but compared to that woman, governor Jiang is still a trivial matter. Who is Long Guard? All officials are so terrified that he is so arrogant that he dares to tease the supervisor of Long Guard's secret guard. No wonder Uncle Wei scolds him for seeking death.
Fortunately, the governor Jiang and his wife were worried that King An of Chu did not pursue the matter, but instead returned the bet, which made Huang Wenxiang feel somewhat relieved. Although he did not buy it as a house, the original house was kept and he finally lost nothing.
The pen was held up for too long, and his hands were a little sour. A little ink dripped in the center of the white paper, which was particularly ugly. Huang Wenxiang replaced one and began to report to his father about Tashan's visit to his father-in-law. Of course, he did not dare to write it in truth. He only said that he had agreed with Uncle Wei to buy four houses for 10,000 taels of silver, but unfortunately he was forced to take away by the governor Jiang. The reason why he dared to write this was because he discussed with his father-in-law Wei Libo and turned the blame on him. If there was really King An of Chu behind him, the two of them had a reason to be liable.
Huang Wenxiang was full of sorrow, but Jiang Anyi threw his worries aside and read two happy letters in a row, and was in a good mood. When he took the third letter, Jiang Anyi hummed a little tune, but unfortunately there was no wine beside him, otherwise he would have to drink a drink to celebrate.
The third letter was written by my mother. Jiang Anyi didn't rush to tear the letter. He admired Mr. Zhang's vigorous and powerful handwriting on the cover, and then opened the letter. The letter was very long, in my mother's tone, and he talked about family matters in a nagging manner. Jiang Anyi laughed secretly, thanks to Mr. Zhang's patience, and he was meticulous from the beginning to the end.
There was a deep thought in his ordinary words, and Jiang Anyi felt very calm and warm. From his mother's words, he could see that the monks were safe and everything was fine at home. Dong'er was filial and his son was old and he would call him grandma. But Yan'er's marriage made her very worried, complaining that he, the brother, did not take the girl's big affairs to heart. Yan'er was on the 15th day of the New Year, and she had not found her husband's house, and there were already discussions in the town.
Jiang Anyi smiled proudly, but she had found a good husband for the girl. Before the end of the year, Lin Yi should be able to reply to him. If this marriage is completed, Yan'er will be happy and her mother will be at ease. If everything goes well, the girl will be able to get married in June and July next year.
After reading the letter from the beginning, Jiang Anyi decided to reply to the letter tonight and tell her mother about Lin Yi's real situation. Today is the 12th day, and she should be able to send the letter home before the New Year so that she can have a happy New Year.
The last letter was written by Deng Shanchang. I haven't received a letter from the mountain chief for a long time. Jiang Anyi knew that Deng Shanchang had left Zechang Academy and was promoted to the capital by the emperor Xuan to serve as the Imperial College. The Imperial College was a high-ranking official under the fourth rank. Deng Shanchang was promoted and promoted continuously
The number of levels is considered to be worthy of its reputation. However, the Imperial College is a place where powerful and noble children gather together, and a small number of common people are mostly wealthy people. Deng Shanchang, who has always been committed to making profits for poor families, may be so depressed.
As Jiang Anyi expected, Deng Shanchang's letter revealed a depressed meaning. Although he was the same teaching and educating people, the Imperial College did not care about the talent that could be created. Deng Shanchang's letter revealed that Liang Yuan was kind, and it seemed that he was interested in resigning.
Deng Shanzheng's letter was a reply to the letter written by Jiang Anyi in October. Feeling that there was insufficient staff around him, Jiang Anyi wrote to Deng Shanzheng, asking him to recommend some available people to work in Huazhou. According to the "Da Zheng Law", the emperor asked the emperor to nod directly when appointed and removed by officials of the fourth rank and above. Officials under the fourth rank and below shall be the head of the Ministry of Personnel and shall be submitted to the emperor and the prime minister will find out.
As the governor of the state, he has a power to replenish officials. The governor is a document specially granted to the governor for a temporary official. According to the law, the governor can temporarily appoint assistants under the eighth rank, join the army, record affairs, account history, jail, inquire, and warehouse governors all belong to the assistant officials, but the county magistrate and chief clerk are not included. Official positions of the eighth rank are generally granted to juren, and those of the ninth rank can be given to scholars at their discretion, and of course they must report to the Ministry of Personnel afterwards.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the official documents of the prefecture can give reasons, the Ministry of Personnel will approve it. After all, governing a state, the governor needs some trustees around him. For example, Shi Mingyu and Yu Qingshan's municipal prime minister and deputy chief were appointed in this case. The existence of red-license officials actually opened up a shortcut from officials to officials, even from common people to officials, to officials, and to officials. The position of governor of the prefect is a fat and shortage in the eyes of most people.
Deng Shanchang was very powerful and recommended seven people in one breath in the letter, all of whom were students of Zechang Academy, including juren and scholars, and of course they were all poor families. Deng Shanchang told Jiang Anyi that he had sent a letter to ask these people. If there was no accident, he would come to Huazhou next year and ask Jiang Anyi to arrange them properly.
Jiang Anyi really didn't expect that there were fewer positions in his hands now, so it was impossible to replace all the officials in the government office. Jiang Anyi scratched his head a little, either like Shi Qingjian, he was his own aide, but these people were all for being officials, and probably wouldn't want to stay behind the scenes. He would either go to the county to be a doctor or assistant teacher, but he was afraid that these classmates would be arrogant and unwilling to surrender.
The moon shone out from behind the dark clouds and threw the cold light into the window frame. Jiang Anyi smiled self-deprecatingly. Let's leave these happy worries next year. I will arrange the belongings of these people after I checked.
The next morning, Yan Yi came to Jiang Anyi with a smile and played. The tax in Huazhou was about 1.2 million taels, 800,000 taels of commercial tax, 400,000 taels of land tax, and Ding Tax. The emperor exempted the land tax in Huazhou this year, and it was said that it was only 800,000 taels of commercial tax, but after the opening of the border city, the commercial tax soared to 1.8 million taels of commercial tax. In addition, the special tax on honey fruits paid an additional 200,000 taels of commercial tax, and the border card paid 200,000 taels of customs tax, and Huazhou's input was 2.2 million taels. The 400,000 taels were deducted to the Anxi Protectorate, and 500,000 taels were used for disaster relief, of which 200,000 taels were admitted by the court that 300,000 taels were considered a borrowing, and Huazhou actually invested 1.3 million taels of silver in the treasury this year.
"Sir, Huazhou has just suffered a war, but it has not been snowy for a hundred years. The court has exempted the land tax, and it can still increase the tax compared with previous years. It is really a blessing for the people to govern the prefecture." Yan Yi flattered with conscience.
This data is different from Jiang Anyi's prediction, but it is not possible for manpower to change the natural disaster, so the emperor will not blame him for such a result. Jiang Anyi said: "Yan Shenjun, according to the practice of previous years, calculate how much silver can be retained in the mansion. After working hard for a year, all the money that should be paid will be paid to let everyone have a good New Year."
This sentence made everyone in the lobby smile, and Yan Yi smiled and said, "I am very grateful to the adults.
The court rule is divided into seventy-three pieces, and 70% of the total amount of taxes to be kept. This year, the total amount of taxes in the treasury is 1.3 million taels, and the Ministry of Revenue is 910,000 taels of taxes. The Ministry of Revenue allows deduction of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,000 taels of 10,00
Yan Yi flipped through the account book, and a series of numbers popped out of his mouth, which made Jiang Anyi dizzy. Finally, Yan Yi smiled and said, "Sir, there is 183,724,078 silver in the warehouse."
"Is it enough to pay some money to everyone?" Jiang Anyi was really confused and asked weakly.
Yan Yi was energetic and said, "Leave the expenses for next year, as well as the grain, equipment, etc. required to purchase in the military camp, there should be a surplus of 70,000 to 80,000 taels, which is enough for everyone to have a good New Year. I wonder what standards are the adults paying New Year rewards?"
Everyone held up their ears and listened. This was related to their own personal interests. Whether they could have a good New Year was just a sentence from Governor Jiang.
"Is it okay to be three times that of previous years?" Jiang Anyi said casually.
"Okay, I don't need much money." Yan Yi quickly calculated that there were only about 80 officials who could be called the ninth rank or above, and there were more than 300 minor officials and servants. Including the three thousand soldiers of the government, 100 students of the government, 12,000 liang of 10,000 liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of liang of
Jiang Anyi thought for a while and ordered: "Don't count the soldiers in the palace. Give 10,000 taels of silver to Sima Hua and let him make the decision by himself. He also needs to prepare a thousand taels of silver. I want to entertain gentry who contributed to disaster relief and merchants who paid taxes in the border city."
Yan Yi nodded and said yes. He originally planned to give each soldier a tael of silver. It seemed that the governor Jiang planned to give the favor to Sima Hua. Sima Hua and Jiang were like brothers. Yan Yi was envious and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Anyi saw Yan Yi's thoughts and smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard with me for a year. In addition to the annual rewards he deserves, Jiang also prepared some red envelopes in private and sent them to those who have made contributions."
Yan Yi's heart moved and smiled with a silence, "Sir, I've received a lot of money this year, so I don't want the red envelope. The cheap man always talks to the old man about his perfume. The play is more expensive than gold, and he can't afford it. The key is that he has nowhere to buy it if he wants to buy it. Otherwise, he will give him a bottle of perfume for the red envelope this year."
Perfume was regarded as a trick for Hu merchants to pay taxes when entering the market. This year, the commercial tax in Huazhou soared by one million taels, and most of the credit was the perfume. Although Guo Huaili's rouge shop occasionally sold one or two bottles of perfume, it was immediately stolen when taken out. The sky-high price of 100 taels per bottle was actually not available in Huiye Mansion. Jiang Anyi heard Guo Huaili say that a bottle of perfume was sold for 260 taels. It seems that many rich people in Huazhou are.
Looking at Yan Yi who was looking at him, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Okay, you can draw a list and select twenty diligent officials from the government office, each of whom is giving you a bottle of perfume."
There was a cheer in the lobby, and Yan Yi was even more overjoyed. He was still envious of Sima Hua just now. Now others should envy him. It seems that his decision was very wise. As soon as the governor Jiang came, he sincerely surrendered. Now it is time to gain something.
Chapter completed!
