......
Petty officials, in the eyes of Shangguan, are night pots, which can be used for use or used to carry the pot.
But this nightpot has a lot of extra money, so although it has a low status, it makes people flock to it.
Jinling.
"Tian Tian, isn't it good to be in the medicine shop? To be a petty official, my father is worried... Bad reputation! What will the child do then?"
Yang Tiantian's temperament was calm. He glanced at Miao Er Mei, his wife holding his son, and said, "Dad, as long as the state Dynasty does well, small officials can rise. This is what Xinghe Bo said. It's a joke to want to kill officials just by virtue of a Jinshi title!"
Since Yang Tiantian went to the Yan family medicine shop in Jinling City, the conditions of the Yang family have gradually improved a lot. Not even Yang Tiantian's sister is wearing new clothes.
"Dad, I learned xinghebo's science and often went to the Academy for advice. Those gentlemen said that I had made great progress, so this is an opportunity. As long as I stand firm, no one can drive me out in the future."
"Are you sure?"
Yang Da waved to Hua Hua, took her in his arms and said to Yang Tiantian's daughter-in-law Miao Er Mei, "tell me about it, too."
Miao Er Mei held her one-year-old son, thought for a moment, and said, "Dad, this is a chance for my husband. After all, our family has no capital to open a shop, and my husband can't work for others all his life, so my daughter-in-law agrees."
Yang Da held his little daughter and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "well, Tian Tian even has a son. I don't know those things as a father, but what Xinghe bota said is always right. Go and take your daughter-in-law with me and your mother."
Yang Da's understanding was unexpected. He thought it would take some effort to succeed, but he didn't expect a few words.
"Dad, my second sister will stay at home to take care of you and my mother. I will come back when I have a holiday in the Yamen. I can always find a way after suffering for several years."
Yang Tiantian was a little frightened. He knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, I'm unfilial when I go out. If my second sister still follows me, what face do I have to learn science? Infidelity and unfilial people have no face to see people."
The wrinkles on Yang Da's face became deeper and said, "go. After you get a foothold, your daughter-in-law and children will follow. Your mother and I will plant the land with flowers. We can have a lot of balance a year. We will send it to you at that time."
Yang Tian shook his head firmly and said, "Dad, if I can get a foothold, our family will rent out the land and live in the city."
"Hey! You child..."
……
Shangyuan county is subordinate to yingtianfu, surrounded by Xiaoling and Wushan. The Yangtze River flows in the north, the Qinhuai River flows in the southeast, and even the Xuanwu Lake, which is really unique.
Because of the rich water resources, the trade is flourishing and many fields are called the essence of Jinling.
In other words, Shangyuan county is actually the county directly under the central government that should be Tianfu.
As the saying goes, Sansheng is unfortunate. The county magistrate is attached to Guo. Sansheng does evil and is attached to the provincial capital.
Shangyuan county is like this, and Jinling is much more powerful than any provincial capital. A small imperial court squats there and is bored all day. Shangyuan county must be careful to avoid being caught wrong.
Yuan Jie was not satisfied with the position of county magistrate of Shangyuan county. He would rather go down to serve as a county magistrate of Zhongxian County than stay here.
"The autumn tax this year is not optimistic!"
Yuan Jie sighed, and Zhang Mai, the county magistrate, said with a bitter smile: "Sir, the most powerful people in Shangyuan county are dignitaries. Once your majesty moves the capital, who dares to collect autumn tax on their fields?"
Yuan Jie said helplessly, "I also told Ying Tianfu, but they won't pay attention to our difficulties. They only know that we need autumn tax. Forget it, send someone down to urge us, and it's better to look like it."
Zhang Mai nodded and went out to explain. When he came back, he smiled and said, "a new official was hoodwinked and went down to collect taxes with two yamen servants."
Yuan Jie also smiled and said, "well, it's good to teach a lesson. Let the people of the county government see the difficulties of our official. They thought it was our official's incompetence."
In this way, the new official set out with two yamen servants and went all the way to the edge of the good field.
"Sir, these are the fields of the relatives."
Two yamen servants looked at Yang Tiantian unkindly. One of them encouraged him: "Sir, you haven't paid the autumn tax in this area. If you can take it down, you can at least rise three levels."
Yang Tiantian looked at the good field on the side and said with a smile, "elder brothers, are you going to pit me? If I really go to collect it, don't say the official is promoted to three levels, I'll have to go to three levels of hell."
When they saw that Yang Tiantian could not be fooled, they looked at each other. One of them smiled and said, "my Lord, the owners of this good field have followed his majesty down to Peiping, but those managers are more and more domineering. Lord yuan has no seat in front of them."
Xun Qi is domineering, which is a long-standing problem of the national Dynasty.
Yang Tiantian didn't think he had the ability to ask for orders for the people, so he looked and took people to the countryside.
Jinling is actually a treasure land, so all dynasties have attached great importance to it.
"My Lord, this is Xiaoqiao village. There are three families in the village who have not paid all the autumn taxes."
In front of me was a village with dozens of families, and the houses looked dilapidated. At the head of the village, two children were climbing trees and playing. When they saw Yang Tiantian, they were scared and hurried down the tree.
"Slow down!"
Yang Tiantian's cry made the child more flustered. One child slipped his hand and fell off the tree trunk. He couldn't even pat his ass and limped to the village.
When he arrived in the village, Yang Tiantian found that every household was closed. There was no one outside, not even a chicken.
Thinking of the autumn tax collection in his village, Yang Tiantian said sadly, "I'm afraid!"
"My Lord, these... Are all villains!"
Denima!
Yang Tiantian's family is farming. He is very clear about the ways of collecting taxes.
When the three arrived outside a family, a yamen attendant shouted, "boss Tian, open the door and collect the autumn tax!"
No one answered inside. Another yamen went up with one foot, and then walked around on one foot. It didn't hurt.
At this time, the man next door heard that he was coming to collect autumn tax, so he shouted at home: "my Lord, boss Tian's family escaped."
The Yamen with sore feet was better, so he went over and scolded: "what a special! If he didn't say it long ago, he sprained the feet of labor and capital. Hurry to prepare..."
Yang Tiantian stared at the Yamen and felt inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"My Lord, I'm kidding. Yes, kidding."
The Yamen officer smiled, but he didn't care.
Don't you dare Sue Yang Tian if you don't catch the evidence?
Even if the labor and capital blackmailed his family, do you dare to sue?
You are the public enemy of the Yamen service of the whole Ming Dynasty!
The family was silent immediately, and then the three went to see the other two. One escaped and the other was still there, but Yang Tiantian couldn't go down because of the old and small face and thin skin.
But the two yamen servants didn't have this taboo. As soon as they went in, they searched everywhere to find something valuable.
Yang Tiantian looked coldly at the family standing numbly in the corner, and the two children hid behind the adults in panic; Looking at the two yamen soldiers looking for things unscrupulously.
Unfortunately, the last two found that the most valuable thing was farm tools, but they couldn't accept it.
Collect farm tools, that is to fish with all your strength!
After a day's walk, Yang Tiantian returned to his residence tired. He lay in bed and didn't want to eat. Finally, he got up and wrote a letter.
"... the small people are difficult, the small officials are like tigers, the senior officials are numb, the honor and Qi are proud, and the tyrants are carefree... Daming puts the burden on the people, but indulges the officials, dignitaries and tyrants..."
