Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 125
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were three salaries. Of course, Yang Sichang only proposed the current salaries and did not implement them.

Speaking of which, it is not impossible to increase the payment, but it depends on the method of collection.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng's method of increasing salary when he was the governor of Xuanda was a policy based on food.

What is grain, in fact, is to impose additional taxes on the rich.The specific implementation method is: no additional tax will be levied on farmers who pay less than five taels of tax, while for rich households who pay more than five taels of tax, grain tax will be levied to varying degrees according to the amount of property.

If this policy were implemented, there would not be so many farmers forced to go bankrupt, thus providing soil for thieves.However, in this way, Lu Xiangsheng offended those wealthy households.At this time, the wealthy households with a tax of more than five taels were basically from the background of officials and gentry.Especially in Jindi, the smugglers colluded with border officials and guards.Lu Xiangsheng's taxation in this way offended them all at once.

So, Yang Sichang ran out. He was from a family of officials and officials, and he represented the interests of these people.As an assistant minister of the Ming cabinet, the original favorite of Emperor Chongzhen immediately stood up to oppose him, and tried various tricks to induce and persuade Emperor Chongzhen, which eventually became a way to increase the levy.That is to say, regardless of rich or poor, all of them will be taxed together.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the soul of later generations, it goes without saying how to choose.When the imperial court is running out of money, there is no way to increase the payment.However, the way to increase the levy is to support Lu Xiangsheng to start it again, and follow this policy of food.Lu Xiangsheng was responsible for leading the battle at the front, and he, the emperor, guarded the rear for him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen went to watch the conversation between Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang again.

Hearing Chen Xinjia talk about the dispute over grain and equal losses, Yang Sichang couldn't help frowning and said: "When you say that, I think of a person who has a headache. There are many letters from everywhere, saying that he is arbitrary and domineering!"

"It's Sun Chuanting?" Chen Xinjia guessed right away when he heard it, "This Sun Chuanting used the excuse of the ancestral system to misbehave in Shaanxi, and he should have been punished long ago. Now he is leading the army to King Qin, can the cabinet have a solution?"

His so-called excuse of the ancestral system means that after Sun Chuanting became the governor of Shaanxi, he came up with the measure of "clearing the village for payment" under the dilemma of lack of food and soldiers.

The so-called Qingtun payment means that all the farmland in the army will be taken back, and all the income from the farmland will be used as food and salary.

From the ninth year of Chongzhen, he held high the banner of "ancestral system", claiming that "not one mu of land should be lost, and one grain of grain should not be lost". After collecting all the land files in Shaanxi, he began to frantically collect military land according to the files .However, cleaning up the military settlements is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. Officials and generals at all levels are the ones who invaded the military settlements, and they often involve higher officials.As a result, Sun Chuanting didn't talk about any feelings, and almost offended the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. It took three years to recover almost all the land in the army and cleared out 45 taels of silver.

The original governor of the three sides was Yang Sichang's father, Yang He, so the people over there complained to Yang Sichang, the current favorite of Emperor Chongzhen, because of this matter, expecting Yang Sichang to make the decision for them.

However, in the past few years, Sun Chuanting has used the money from Qingtun to reorganize the army and trained his Qin soldiers. The thief heard the news and fled.It can be said that his series of military victories made it difficult for him to be brought down.

At this time, Yang Sichang was not surprised when he saw that Chen Xinjia had guessed it. He nodded and said, "This Sun Chuanting has a straight temper and has offended many people. I have taken eye drops many times in front of the emperor before. It's almost there. When King Qin comes to the capital this time, I have a countermeasure waiting for him. If he loses his temper later, he will definitely be overwhelmed. There is great hope, and I will take care of him this time!"

In the original history, after King Qin arrived in the capital this time, Sun Chuanting was manipulated by Yang Sichang, and he couldn't hold back his bad temper, which led to him being sent to prison for questioning.

But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen remembered the matter of Sun Chuanting from the original memory of Emperor Chongzhen after they had such a chat, and couldn't help laughing again.It seems that Chen Xinjia was summoned this time to "reward" his wiretapping seeds, which made a big contribution.

Yes, this Sun Chuanting, I'm sure!
With me here, no matter if it is Lu Xiangsheng or Sun Chuanting, you can do it with confidence.These malignant tumors attached to the body of the Ming Dynasty should have been cleaned up by competent and loyal ministers like you!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's mood improved a lot.When I went to watch the chat between Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang, there was no particularly useful information.After chatting for a while, the two broke up.

According to what they said, Chen Xinjia was waiting to "get out" and return to Shanxi tomorrow morning, and he would also embarrass Sun Chuanting who was passing by. It would be best if he could prevent Sun Chuanting from delaying his arrival to the capital.If it doesn't work, Yang Sichang also has countermeasures waiting for him.

Hehe, if there is any countermeasure, just use it, if I am led by the nose by you, I will be blind and take Golden Finger to cross!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and just when he was about to send his car back to the harem, it was reported that Li Ruolian, the Commander of Jinyiwei, asked to see him.

Needless to say, the things that were supposed to be explained during the day came to fruition.

So, he immediately sent a message to Li Ruolian to see him.

No accident, Li Ruolian came to report the contact between the procurement personnel in the palace and the outside world.Two of them were more suspicious, and they were both members of the Shangshan Supervisor.

Emperor Chongzhen listened and nodded to show that he understood.Let Li Ruolian continue to secretly monitor the outside affairs, and he will solve the palace affairs by himself.

For the time being, he didn't plan to touch those two people, so he just watched to see what they did and who they had a close relationship with. It would be best if they could be drawn out along this line.

While he was thinking about these things, the imperial decree to urge the soldiers had already arrived at Shanhaiguan.

At that time, Wu Sangui, who was the deputy general of the forward right battalion, who was equivalent to the deputy general, immediately went to Zu Dashou's mansion, his uncle's house.

Speaking of Zu Dashou, he can be said to be the number one force of Ming Dynasty in the Shanhaiguan army.In addition to Zu Dashou himself, there are also his brothers Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng, Zu Dabi, his nephews Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Zerun, Zu Kefa, etc. It is officers at all levels from the general soldier to the deputy general, general, and guerrilla, and they are stationed in Ningyuan, Dalinghe, and Jinzhou cities.For this reason, in the early years, Emperor Chongzhen also specially ordered to build the meritorious archway of the fourth generation of the ancestors in Liao Dynasty in Ningyuan city.

At this time, when he saw his vigorous nephew Wu Sangui visiting, he guessed his purpose and immediately laughed.

　Thank you for the reward from the more lunatic who just passed by!
