After leaving the public housing in the Palm Courtyard, Wei Guangde was thinking about how to write this memorial.
Although Wei Guangde was not given a position, he also had the right to report a Jinshi, but whether anyone cared about it.
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, Juren could write to the court, but most of the Juren's books were not cared about.
Sitting in the public room, Wei Guangde did not start writing the memorial at the first time, but was thinking about how to write it to express his meaning and sort out his ideas.
When he was about to leave just now, Yin Tai told Wei Guangde another major event, which was what Wei Guangde had heard before, that was, the Governor of the Japanese Suppression Hu Zongxian, requesting that Jiangnan fields be charged one cent and three cents of military pay per mu for Jiangnan to suppress the Japanese Suppression.
He was also allowed to act cheaply.
Wei Guangde didn't understand what it means to act cheaply at first, or Yin Tai saw that he really didn't know, so he realized that his relationship with the Yan family seemed not close, so he made some comments.
Extravailing land taxes can only make up a portion of military pay, and you have to wait until summer taxes and autumn grains to get them. The distant water cannot quench your near thirst.
In his memorial, Hu Zongxian proposed the "programming method", which was actually an additional tax system set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lenient in his affairs and directly killed the annual taxes and labor service of various prefectures and counties in the world, and issued an edict to no longer increase taxes.
The introduction of the article by Hu Zongxian is naturally to break through the taxes and labor service set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and to send taxes and labor service in each prefecture and county to ensure military supplies, especially the part of labor service, which will be directly paid to the front of the army.
Yin Tai was also kind-hearted, worried that he would not understand the situation in the court. When he heard the news, he thought of the policy he wrote in the imperial examination, and then he would be frightened.
Yin Tai naturally read the policy theory written by Wei Guangde, but it was very general and not specific. He did not say how to raise funds at all. He only collected taxes to the Japanese affected areas in Jiangnan to suppress the Japanese.
Hu Zongxian's memorials were naturally not so confused. He explained the additional taxes clearly, including taxes on land and taxes, and taxes on taxes and labor.
Wei Guangde felt that this editor seemed to have similarities with his own ideas, but he wanted to collect taxes from merchants, but he didn't think about adding taxes and services to local governments. The people suffered from Japanese disasters and were subject to taxes. This is not a force to death.
Is it?
It has little to do with me, so Wei Guangde doesn't plan to get involved in this matter, so he will just worry about his own affairs.
However, from Yin Tai, he also knew that Hu Zongxian had implemented a strict sea ban policy to suppress Japanese takeouts, which made it impossible for many smuggling merchants to ship goods along the coast. This was also the main reason why the Yi people gathered in the market.
The channels for picking up goods have been completely cut off.
It’s no wonder that the Ministry of Works is so active in seeking a policy of changing rice and mulberry seeds, which is indeed a great temptation for gold and silver.
Although there are no famous sayings, Wei Guangde also heard what Yin Tai said. Now the three officials who have suppressed the Japanese in Jiangnan are the left assistant minister and the right assistant censor of the Ministry of War, the governor of the Japanese, Hu Zongxian, and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.
The three of them were Yan Song's subordinates, Zhao Wenhua, the Censor of Fujian Ruan E.
Wei Guangde knew in his heart that Yin Tai might have guessed what he wanted to do, so he explained it thoroughly. The water inside was very deep, so it was best not to intervene. If it was not done well, it would offend the Yan family.
It is obvious that his junior minister had basically controlled the officialdoms in Zhejiang and Fujian. While severely suppressing the Japanese, he was preparing to use the Maritime Bureau to export silk and other goods to earn money. Part of them were sent to the court to solve financial problems. It is estimated that the big one would enter.
Their pockets.
At this time, bringing out the words you thought about before is undoubtedly blocking other people's way of wealth.
It was just that the mind was not in the same place. In the afternoon, the paper in front of Wei Guangde was still empty, and he didn't even fall into a word.
Thinking of Yin Tai's previous instructions, Wei Guangde had to pack up his desk and go out to Wu Qing's public room.
After the clerk's report, Wei Guangde easily entered the public housing of Wu Shishu.
Well, what Wei Guangde went in was that Wu Qing was reading miscellaneous books. As for what Yin Tai said, "The Veritable Records of Xiaozong" he was responsible for proofreading and copying, he could not see it at all.
After the ceremony, Wu Qing asked Wei Guangde to sit down on a chair and said, "Yin Zhangyuan told me that "Xiaozong's Veritable Records" is still in the review hall to inspect and copy. I have sent someone to talk about it. They will make a copy.
Deliver to your public housing first, check it first, and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
"yes."
Wei Guangde hurriedly got up and agreed, and finally he had some work, although this work was obviously not over his head for a short time.
He has been to the Prosecutor's Office. He only worked for half a day and was drinking tea and chatting in the afternoon. If he waited for them to deliver the "Records of Emperor Xiaozong", he would not know that it was the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
The court also had no concern about "The Records of Emperor Xiaozong" and "The Records of Emperor Wuzong". After all, everyone knows how Emperor Jiajing was. Even if it was delayed for a few years, no one would ask about it.
Wei Guangde, who returned to his public housing, sat down until the price was paid, but he didn't even think about whether he should write the memorial or how to write the memorial.
Yes, Wei Guangde doesn't want to offend the powerful, he also wants to be an official and enjoy life.
After leaving the Hanlin Academy, he was released from the Hanlin Academy and was edited by a group of editors of the Hanlin Academy. When he saw it, he shouted, "Guangde, go, go and have a meal together."
Well, Wei Guangde had to follow them to find a restaurant nearby to eat.
At this time, most of the officials who joined the Hanlin Academy were in the officialdom for a short time, and many of them were alone in the capital and had no concern for their family.
In fact, Wei Guangde is the same as them, he is just a lonely person, so after paying the deposit, he got together to have dinner and chat, it became a daily life.
"Deyan will be promoted when he comes back this time."
Wen Yinglu said that yesterday, Chen Jin left Beijing to Shanghe, Shandong to participate in the enthronement of King Kangshun Zhu Zai-chan, who was the son of Zhu Houyi, Zhuangwang, the first generation of King Henghengwang of Qingzhou, and the great grandson of Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen.
This time, he was granted the title of vassal with Liu Yunzhong, the No. Guangning Bo, as the Chief Envoy, and Chen Jin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, as the Deputy Envoy. In fact, it is a sign of promotion. After all, if you cannot be promoted for no reason, you must make some contributions.
"A bachelor's degree or part-time job?"
Wei Guangde asked curiously.
"Who knows this, maybe he will be the top scholar after all."
Some others responded to the question that the importance of the noun for the imperial examination is really too important in the officialdom, just like the first three people in the 32 years of promotion often start with the top scorer.
This time Chen Jin followed him to enthrone King Kangshun, which was a matter of giving me credit. It was normal for him to come back and get promoted.
"Have you heard it? On the 13th of last month, the Japanese pirates broke through the front line of Zhenjiang, Jiangyin, and rushed into Zhenjiang, Guazhou, Yizheng plundered, and the grain was burned tens of thousands of stones. It is estimated that the price of grain in the capital will also rise soon. Everyone is worried that
Secure grain.”
At this time, Cao Dazhang spoke.
"The Japanese pirates are getting more and more serious. A few days ago, it was said that a group of Japanese pirates came ashore from Huai'an Prefecture, Nanzhili. Fortunately, they were discovered by Huai'an Guard in time and mobilized heavy troops to expel them."
"Is the Japanese pirates taking action against the Grand Canal?"
There were two consecutive news, one was that the Japanese pirates had arrived in Zhenjiang, not far from Nanjing. Last year, the Japanese pirates made a big fuss under the city of Nanjing.
Huai'an is similar. The only place in the Grand Canal, if Japanese pirates attack Huai'an, the water transportation will naturally be interrupted.
"Where did the news come from?"
Wei Guangde asked curiously, he had not yet integrated into the officialdom, and was very curious about the source of news from Cao Dazhang and others. On weekdays, they were like him and came to the Hanlin Academy to order public housing on time, but where did he know the news?
"I heard about drinking last night with the same year as Tsumasaji."
Cao Dazhang said.
Wei Guangde left Chongwen Gate before dark and returned to Jiujiang Guild Hall. When he came in, he saw Lao Kan and Xia Kefan was sitting in the lobby having tea.
Wei Guangde naturally walked over and sat down, "You two have come back so early?"
"Yes, why did you come back today? Let's go and play cards inside."
When Lao Kan saw Wei Guangde coming back, he smiled and said.
"Come on, you are observing politics in the Ministry of Justice. Have you ever heard of Jiangnan that there is an increase in taxes on Japanese suppression?"
Wei Guangde asked.
"I heard from the head of the government that it is said to be controversial, but it has little to do with us. That is what the officials in the court are considering."
Lao Kan said with a smile.
Just now, Zhang Ke came back from outside, smelling alcohol all over. He should have gone to drink with people from Zhongshu and Liuke.
Seeing Zhang Ke, Wei Guangde's eyes lit up. Six departments were the fastest department to know the imperial decree. Almost all the Cabinet's will must be passed on through the Six departments, and they also have the right to refute it.
Although Zhang Ke is not a sixth subject, the Zhongshu Department is next to the sixth subject and knows the fastest news. Wei Guangde naturally hit Zhang Ke with the source of information.
"Brother Jinqing, I'm back just in time. I'll ask for something."
Wei Guangde saw Zhang Ke and waved to him quickly.
"Hey, Guangde, you're back early."
Zhang Ke walked over and sat down with a smile, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it all in one go.
After Zhang Ke put down the teacup, Wei Guangde asked, "I heard that the Japanese pirates in Zhenjiang were robbed? The grain was burned too?"
"Really?"
"No, Guangde, don't make such a joke."
Lao Kan and Xia Kefan both said with disbelief.
"How did you know? I only knew it today. I heard that I arrived in the capital that I only arrived in the afternoon."
Zhang Ke said in surprise.
"Really? There are Japanese pirates in Zhenjiang, so isn't Yingtian Mansion unsafe again?"
When Lao Kan heard Zhang Ke say this, the first thing he thought of was Nanjing City in Zhenjiang. The Lao family had business there, so he was naturally nervous.
"The Japanese pirates have retreated, and there should be no danger in Nanjing. It was already a big deal last year. If the Japanese pirates can still run to Nanjing, I guess Duke Wei won't do it."
Zhang Ke said in a relaxed tone, "It is said that the grain has been lost by tens of thousands of stones, but it has been restored. Nanjing will strengthen the patrol efforts on the Jiangyin front line to avoid being broken through by Japanese pirates again."
"That's good, that's good."
