New Year's Eve Beacon Fire
Chapter 18:New Year's Eve Beacon Fire
Huang Qixuan has always felt that he is full of persistence, no door to the country, in this land of bullets wasted an ambition, to today feel that he has lost wrong.
Although the proud article made him undecided from then on, but he always had a kind of literati in his heart, thinking that he had been attacked by different political views, although the officialdom was not satisfactory, but the history of youth must leave its own name, this world will not be in vain, can not think of their own play if really want to be implemented, but also wrong the country wrong people, so this time is not alone and disheartened, that long-lasting pride is also swept away.
Looking at Yang Ling, a handsome young man, Huang Qixian secretly calculated in his heart: "It turns out that he is only the youngest show talent in the county, but it is only eight articles to do exquisite, but it is unexpected but there is this insight, it seems that this son is not a thing in the pool."
There is nothing to be done, and if he does not help him with all his heart, if he can achieve a generation of famous servants in the future, he will also follow the name of the young history, and then as long as he can be a member of the party, the grandson left by his prematurely dead child can also have a dependence.
Thinking of this, Huang Qixian smiled, came forward to help Yang Ling, full of spring breeze: "Yang Xian's nephew do not have to be polite, the teacher is ashamed to be ashamed, the old Huang in this county is almost refined, if there is any need to help the place, Xian nephew despite the opening, Lao Huang is knowing nothing."
Chicken Mingyi is a third-class county, compared with Jiangnan rich counties, the total difference in the total amount of tax and grain is even 300 to 500 times, the tax amount is frighteningly low, coarse, it seems that the tax amount must be raised, at least such a county should no longer have the accumulation of tax food.But the reality is that even if some small landowners or farmers here are still half-hunger and half-satisfied, the debt of tax and food has become a matter of course.
Therefore, a county official in Fu County tax reached 80%, the local people's life is still not affected, but also praised it as a young sky, send the umbrella, but in a few years if the misfortune to such a poor county, even if he painstakingly pay 30% of the tax, in the mouth of the local people, he is also a corrupt official, cool, scraping three feet of vampire.
What's more, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty calculated the officials surprisingly accurate, the silver issued only enough officials to support a small family, as for the expenses sent, the family servants, the carpenter, including the salary of the staff, etc., are all officials pay their own pockets, so the people pay the money and food, the local officials must move part of the private pocket, the county officials so, the county officials so, the village chief.
Therefore, when the tax is not enough, the local officials will show their magic, the number of fields exceeds the number of counties in the hands of the Ministry to make up more, and the counties with insufficient congenitals will be brave enough to report the disaster relief, which has completed the task of collecting tax and food, and has won the good reputation of loving the people.
Although there are a large number of people in arrears in the grain tax, but over the years, some people have been reclaimed and reclaimed mountains, and the household still holds the number of fields in the early days of the founding of the country, so although it is very small, only a part of the surplus commercial tax can meet the household requirements.
In addition, the autumn tirritals have just come to the hijacking, can be more serious about the disaster, in order to reduce some money and food, due to the special status of chickens, the military significance here is far more important than the county, so the Ministry knows that the annual tax here is not enough even if the money in the assessment performance is not too strict.
Originally worried about the head of Yang Ling through Huang Qixuan this point, can not help but be cheerful, the original received has been a poor 30% of the tax grain in Huangxian under a large wave, actually only half handed over, see Yang Ling tongue.
The rest of the messy things under the guidance of Huangxian, Yang Ling also got up quickly, and soon the government was well-organized, and became the people behind the scenes of the Minhang County order to really control the county administration, but his power all came from the order of Minh County, with this mud bodhisattva on his head, he was the spokesperson of the bodhisattva, if there was no such "bodhisattva", no one would listen to his orders.
However, there are Min County so that the support of the real county master, Huang County, the second-in-command's strong assistance, Yang Ling this sparrow is small, dirty small county town governance is well organized, not long after, the chicken mingyi people, officers and soldiers, and the postmasters know that the actual control of the operation of the whole county is a eighteen-year-old young man behind Min, this person is Yang Ling.
Han young mother no longer go to the tailor shop to work, not because she does not want to go, but the boss dare not use her again, joking, who is her man?Now it's just a county-class man's hat.
At that time, there were already some dyeing factories in the big cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and hundreds of domestic workers, but most of these domestic workers were also men, and in this small place, women went out to work, which was a very small thing, so although Yang Ling did not want to let a 15-year-old girl smother at home every day as a young woman, she could only go to the countryside and never let her appear.
But this time the Korean young lady every day bored at home, in addition to cooking almost nothing, then there is no TV these entertainment tools, although at that time, most of the married women are so, but in the eyes of a modern man Yang Ling, but feel that the young mother is like a home captivity.
Every day only when she came home from the moment her face will show a happy look, while looking at herself eating as if there are endless words, any little thing can be said with relish for half a day, it turns out that although she is difficult in the mountain village, at least she can go out, but now it is like a bird in a cage, the beauty in her eyes is getting darker and darker.
Yang Ling looked at the heartache, coupled with his own official work is too busy, simply gave her a man's clothes to wear, with her to sign the detention room to help her copy copy.Fortunately, Han's young lady is different from the average girl, her father was a dart head of the dartboard, the family is not bad, the young family was invited to the chair, and then the dart lost a heavy dart, which was defeated.These things are naturally competent.
Han young children have something to do, and can be with the husband, naturally full of joy.Yang Ling "public and private", although everyone knows that this is Mr. Yang's insider, but he only said that it is to ask for help, so the salary is open, but the private person he hired is to pay, so Yang Ling into the countryside, the nature of his retention is not bad to the pocket anyway, he does not want to pay up, will be divided up by others.
Yang Ling because it is the county master private hired, not into the grade, so this month only three stones, equivalent to silver 6 money, this money is to be from the county master private out.The county's grandfather took 3 months and seven dollars to feed a family of old and young enough, but then pay the salary of the master's staff and the family servant, and the Minh County ordered that if a little tax is not interrupted, the family will drink the northwest wind.
The officialdom of this reasonable interception is called fire consumption, according to Yang Ling's understanding is that there are policies and countermeasures.When I first read the novel, I saw that the officials of the Ming Dynasty embezzled silver sixty-two, Zhu Yuanzhang used to skin and stop the torture of the grass, but the official corruption was repeatedly prohibited, those officials and servants generally ran to the beheading, at that time quite did not understand, and now he personally realized that he knew that he was indeed a corrupt official, but even if the Qing officials had some necessary worship was necessary.
Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, these officials have naturally formed a discipline from these years, which belong to the corruption and which belong to the necessary filial piety of the officials has been in addition to the platform to form a system, the officials up and down the self- complied, there are yellow old instructions, Yang Ling also took peace of mind.
Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, perhaps because of the mood, obviously the street is still wet and cold weather, but walking on the street does not feel as cold as usual.Near and near, there was a crackling of firecrackers.
Tomorrow, there is no need to go to work, so it is busy until very late, Yang Ling has only finished the official document at hand and Han young lady out of the county.Every household has hung red lanterns at the door, even if they usually do not bear such luxury, today also hung up the lanterns early, lit candles.
Women can not walk in front of her husband or walk side by side with him, so Han young lady or in accordance with the rules to step back half, Yang Ling to see tonight night is dark, will not attract too much attention, plus Han young lady wearing men's clothing, will deliberately slow down, while she is not ready, a hand held her hand.
Han's young mother was surprised, her face was red, she earned two earns without breaking, and she couldn't help but blush and whisper: "Dong, you..."
Yang Ling smiled softly and said softly: "Tomorrow we go to the street to buy some new year's goods, tonight we go to the tavern to eat some good, let's go."He said that he was pulling Han's young mother to run to the small hotel he had been to for the first time.
Yang Ling is an old-fashioned person, has been once, feel the taste can be, it is too lazy to find another one, want to change appetite has been going to this house.Although Han's young mother was a little uneasy, she knew that her family was always easy-going, and that it was dark, others could not see her face, and the little hand allowed him to hold it and walked meekly with him.
Yang Ling and Han young mother stepped out of the hotel, the night is deeper, the stars in the night sky of Zhanzhan, the fine snow drop slowly, so that he because of drinking wine and slightly swollen hot face is very refreshing.
Yang Ling's look was energized, holding up the hand of Han's young lady in the city and slowly wandering, although the two people did not speak, but the palm of the hand, to the heart is another feeling that touches the heart.
On the wall cover, Yang Ling grabbed a squat of snow, the group became a snowball, made enough strength, and raised to the vast night outside the city, but this body is too lack of exercise, this force pulls the veins of some pain, the foot of the patrol soldiers to freeze the road is also very slippery, almost he fell, 骇韩 young lady snatched a step, holding him steady, holding him.And he said, "Dong, look at you, how like a child, carefully fell."
Yang Ling turned around, gently pinched her sturdy and smooth face, and spoiled her: "You are a child who has not grown up."
Han young mother muttered, unconvincing straightened herself, Yang Ling looked at her slightly childish face and those gentle eyes, his heart for this stirring, he only found himself and her more and more affectionate, has been accustomed to her around silently to take care of themselves, has been accustomed to her around to take care of themselves silently, has been accustomed to do some affectionate movements with her, once their soul flies, then will not let her sad?
But if she is cold and cold now, how can Yang Ling's heart block her tear offensive?Those who said that once she died, let her take good care of herself was too abrupt, and he could not speak, he looked at Han Xiao Mai, I do not know what to say.
Han's young lady's face suddenly became more and more hot, in Yang Linglang like a morning star's eyes, especially in his mouth there is a faint wine, Han young mother obviously misunderstood his meaning, the heart is not afraid and happy, panicked body are some trembling up.
At this time, Yang Ling suddenly saw a fire flashing from the two black and bright eyes of Han young mother, Han's young mother also stared at her eyes in horror at this time, looking straight from Yang Ling's shoulder, staring at the distance.
Yang Linghoran turned back, there is a fire platform on both sides of the wall, at this time the east side of the fire station has been ignited, the fire is blazing, far away, the winding wall extends to the depths of the mountains, and there are several sparks shining.
He looked to the west again, and at this time, the blazing platform on the western wall also burst into flames, the fire was fierce, and then the flaming on the ridge farther west was also lit, passing farther into the past.
Yang Ling opened his mouth wide and turned around half-sickly, looking at Han's young mother, and the same message was sent in his two pairs of eyes: "The Tartar is coming!"
