Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Han just stayed in the inn when he heard noises from the street.

    He hurriedly went out to have a look, but saw a big blue woolen sedan chair in front of him, followed by many entourages with knives, and a long procession of carrying people behind.

    Back in the store, Zhao Han asked the shopkeeper for the news: "Dare to ask, sir, what are the backgrounds of all these people outside?"

    The shopkeeper glanced outside the door, shook his head and sighed: "The eunuch has finally moved, and the gentry and merchants in Hekou Town will have to bear it."

    "I see, thank you for your advice." Zhao Han cupped his hands and said.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were eunuchs guarding local eunuchs and sub-eunuchs. At first, they only supervised and assisted frontier military affairs, and gradually spread to supervise military and political affairs throughout the country.  Later, the "mining tax supervisor" suddenly expanded, and the eunuch went to the local area to supervise tax collection.

    In addition to the contributions of civil officials and military generals, Gao Huai, the mine tax supervisor, is also to blame for the chaos in Liaodong.

    Gao Huai was originally a gangster in Beijing who collected taxes for others in Chongwenmen for a living.  He heard that Wanli was going to send eunuchs to collect taxes in the local area, so he swung a knife from the palace and bribed his favorite ministers to get the position of tax supervisor in Liaodong.

    Due to his excellent search skills, Wanli gave him the mansion of the guarding eunuch in Liaodong to live in.  Gao Huai was so proud that he proclaimed himself the guardian eunuch, but was impeached by the officials.  After hearing this, Wanli not only didn't blame him, but said, "I'm sure of my fate", and he really promoted Gao Huai to be the eunuch guarding Liaodong.

    In ten years, in Liaoyang alone, all forty-seven large families went bankrupt, and the emperor only got more than 45,000 taels of silver.  More than 90% of the silver taels were swallowed up by the Li Supervisor and Gao Huai himself.

    The big households will pass on all their losses to the common people.

    The big households are all bankrupt, how miserable will the lives of the common people be?

    So there was a demon in Liaodong, who bewitched more than 3,000 people to revolt, and it took half a year to suppress it with the elite of Liaodong.

    After making such a big commotion, Gao Huai actually had nothing to do, and continued to search Liaodong under the emperor's order.  A large number of Liaodong military households, craftsmen, and common people were forced to flee to join the Jurchen, and Nurhachi's strength increased rapidly.

    In the end, it was so outrageous that Emperor Wanli couldn't suppress the public opinion and finally called Gao Huai back.

    Ten years after the eunuch left Liaodong, the Battle of Sarhu broke out.

    At the beginning of Chongzhen's succession to the throne, most of the guarding eunuchs and tax eunuchs were revoked.

    However, only one or two years later, the eunuchs were sent to the whole country.  Because he doesn't trust civil servants and generals, he wants to use conditions to control the army and taxation.

    The news that the emperor reused eunuchs came out, and a large number of people swung their swords from the palace.  There were so many eunuchs that the imperial court had to reiterate the decree that those who came from the palace would be punished, and the neighbors would be punished.

    However, it is said that Wang Heng, the tax supervisor of Qianshan, was originally a civil servant in the capital.

    This guy went to the post alone, spent a year searching, and used money to recruit a large number of local ruffians.  Now, he has privately set up cash gates in the four waterways. In order to facilitate control, he moved his base camp to Hekou Town, which is the center of the entire Qianshan County.

    The fleet rushed to the mouth of the river, Wang Heng came to the door of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and said to his opponents: "This place is very good, let the people inside move."

    For a while, all the businessmen were driven out, and the Zhejiang Guild Hall became the residence of the eunuch's tax supervisor.

    The dead eunuch has been planning for a long time, and he has already grasped the situation in Hekou Town, but the local gentry are still not aware of it.

    Another half day later, Fei Huan, the leader of the Iron Foot Society, was quietly invited to the clubhouse.

    Fei Huan was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Grassman, byebye byewell, bye bye, Mr. Tax Supervisor!"

    Wang Heng played with a piece of jade pendant and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Hekou Town resisted the tax and even killed the tax collector. I heard that you took the lead?"

    "It has nothing to do with the grassroots, it's the collusion of the gentry and gentlemen." Fei Huan quickly separated the relationship.

    "Come on!" Wang Heng shouted suddenly.

    Fei Huan was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed again and again: "Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life!"

    Wang Heng smiled and comforted: "Don't panic, I don't want your life, and I will give you benefits."

    There were five ingots of two taels of silver, and they were quickly placed in front of Fei Huan.

    Fei Huan didn't understand what he meant, and looked at the eunuch stupidly.

    Wang Heng said seductively: "Iron Foot Club beat up the tax collectors, and even killed two of them. This is a life-threatening lawsuit. Our family is magnanimous, and we can let the past go. You can redeem your merits and become the head of the Iron Foot Club. From now on, only  Listen to our family's orders?"

    Fei Huan evaded and said: "The grass-roots people are just the fourth leader of the Iron Foot Society, so what they say really doesn't carry much weight."

    "Our family says you are the master, and you are the master!" Wang Heng stared with a smile.

    Fei Huan was in a dilemma, but in order to keep himself, he finally gritted his teeth.sp; "Although that guy Zhao Han is young, he is also physically fit and handsome. Could it be that he has an affair with the Young Madam?" The fifth child immediately misunderstood.

    Fei Yuanyi was dumbfounded for a moment, the more he thought about it, the more this possibility became possible, and gradually he was trembling with anger: "Destroying the style of the family, ruining the style of the family, such a thing can be done!"

    Lao Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't publicize this matter, and you can't even mention it."

    "Yes, I can't mention it." Fei Yuanyi was terrified in his heart, for fear that the scandal would be spread, and he would never want to be in the ranks of country gentry in the future.

    The fifth child suggested: "Zhao Han must disappear without a trace."

    Fei Yuanyi thought over and over again, and said: "You take fifty taels of silver, and go to the county town with the messenger, and let Mr. He arrest Zhao Han! Kill him, and find an opportunity to kill him in the prison!"

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many refugees, and a large number of landless farmers fled to the city to seek livelihood. This kind of homeless people can also be regarded as refugees.

    Generally speaking, the government is too lazy to take care of them. If they really want to arrest them all, the county government prison must be full.

    However, the government reserves the right to arrest the refugees, and officials will also look for opportunities to blackmail the refugees in the city!

    Lou really didn't expect that the master was so greedy.  Taking forty taels of silver was not enough, so he ran to Fei Yuanyi to report the letter, and so many incidents occurred.

    In the eyes of Mr. He, Zhao Han is a bedbug, the kind that can be trampled to death as soon as he stretches out his feet.

    Born as a domestic slave, as a refugee, and young, what is it if it is not a bedbug?

    Don't say anything, don't bully the young and poor, in two or three years, before Zhao Han grows up, the master will be transferred away with the county magistrate.

    Therefore, Fei Yuanyi is the one worth making friends with. As long as he has a good relationship with the squire, the master will live comfortably in the past few years.

    Zhao Han gave fifty taels of silver, and Fei Yuanyi also offered fifty taels of silver. The master's choice must be: take away one hundred taels of silver, and obediently listen to Fei Yuanyi's words!

    This approach has never gone wrong.

    The premise is, don't run into lifeless people
