After arriving in Shayang County, Cao Yun stopped specially. Nothing elsewhere, Shayang's status in the Ming Dynasty was a bit special. If Taiping City was the Qianlong land of Emperor Qin Feng, then Shayang County was the Longsheng land of Qin Feng. It was precisely because of the strong support of the five great masters of Shayang that Qin Feng soared from here and embarked on a prosperous and prosperous road. Naturally, Shayang also benefited from this.

Qin Feng once led his elite troops to cooperate with the old master of Liu, defeated the invincible Molo rebels in one fell swoop, and drove them back to Changyang County, which also won great reputation in Shayang County.

Shayang County was the first place to implement the new policy of the Ming Dynasty. Whenever there was a new policy in the Ming Dynasty, Shayang County was always the first person to jump out and try the new things, whether it was the change of land and the later admission of officials to officials, rectify the official system, and the latest tax reform, Qin Feng had an unparalleled reputation in Shayang, so every policy of the court could be implemented here without any obstacles. Of course, Shayang also benefited from it.

The economic development of Shayang is the most outstanding in the entire Ming Dynasty. It can be compared with the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless senior officials who have gone out of Shayang County. Today's chief minister Quan Yun and the Minister of Personnel Fang Dazhi have all served as the county magistrate of Shayang County. Therefore, Shayang County magistrate is also called the best shortcut to the Ming Dynasty Political Affairs Hall by Ming officials.

It was almost midnight, but Cao Yun was still strolling on the streets of Shayang County, and there was a curfew at night in Qi. There was no such thing as a curfew in the city of Daming. Therefore, the night in Shayang is still brightly lit. Although its liveliness is different from the daytime, it has a different flavor.

Mr. Xiao Hua naturally does not have the good spirits of Cao Yun, so he rested in the inn early. Now he is accompanying Cao Yun on the street with the new Shayang County Governor Tian Min.

Cao Yun is very interested in him. Tian Min's identity is extraordinary. He is the Tian clan among the five great masters of Shayang. He can be regarded as a wealthy family. Moreover, his ability is not outstanding among the previous Shayang county magistrates. He can barely be regarded as a middle-aged man. With such ability, he became the county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, which is due to the family's glory.

Tian Zhen, the current head of the Tian family, is a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. He is currently the deputy commander of the Eagle Nest. He was originally determined to become the leader of the largest secret agency of the Ming Dynasty, but according to the latest information, Qin Feng obviously has something else in his heart, and this person is Tian Kuan, another deputy commander of the Eagle Nest.

Tian Kuan, the ghost of Qi Kingdom is quite a headache because he knows too little about him. Many of the information about Guo Jiuling, Tian Zhen and others in the Eagle Nest can be said to be full of information about ghosts. This person has appeared in public too few times and cannot collect any effective information about him at all.

As Tian Min's ability to become the governor of Shayang County should be a kind of compensation from Qin Feng to the Tian family, so as not to make Tian Zhen feel lost, I have to say that Qin Feng is now familiar with this balance technique. As the most thorough county governor of the Ming Dynasty, Shayang County has undergone the rectification of several county magistrates in politics, it has long formed a mature system. The size of the county magistrate's ability and its impact on Shayang County is not as big as other backward counties and prefectures.

Of course, the fast lane that the Shayang County Magistrate directly connects to the Zhengshi Hall will be terminated from Tian Min. This is another constraint on Shayang County by Qin Feng. Perhaps Qin Feng didn’t think that in the court and the Zhengshi Hall, there were Shayang groups in the Shayang District after a few years.

"Such a prosperous scene is really enviable!" Cao Yun said to Tian Min.

"Shayang is still far behind in Chang'an, Luoyang and other Tongcheng Dayi!" Tian Min said modestly with a smile. He didn't talk much, because Cao Yun standing in front of him made him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. He still understands that too much will lead to mistakes. He thinks twice before speaking in front of such a person, and that is absolutely nothing wrong.

Little intention, caution, is the four-word instruction from the patriarch Tian Zhen to when he was appointed as the governor of Shayang County but made merits, but only seeking no mistakes. For Tian, ​​it is enough.

"No, no, Chang'an may be more prosperous in the daytime than Shayang, but at night, it cannot be compared with the governor of the county magistrate Tian. At night, it has always been a rampant ghost. Is the security of Shayang County so good?

Tian Min shook her head: "There are always places where the sun cannot shine. No matter how bright the lights are, there are shadows. In Shayang County, there are no exception. There are many shameful activities. However, Shayang County has its own laws and regulations. Generally speaking, it is still very stable. There are occasional small things, which is harmless."

"But I heard that since last year, there has been no one in Shayang County who has been killed in Qiu," Cao Yun asked.

Tian Min was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Your Highness the Prince is very clear about the things about Shayang County. You are right. Since last year, no one has been killed in Shayang County. In fact, it is very simple. Shayang County is the place where His Majesty revives, and His Majesty is shining with his power. In Shayang County, there are few evil sins that are not worthy of murder. For the Ming Dynasty, it is very precious. Now the most common punishment for those criminals who have been sentenced to prison for making mistakes is exile to the Western Qin land. This is a very severe punishment for them. Letting them go to the Western Qin land to open up and reclaim land. This is not only atonement for their sins, but also making their own contribution to the development of the Ming Dynasty."

"The county magistrate wants to govern the county with Kuan," Cao Yun asked.

"Shayang County no longer needs severe punishments and laws." Tian Min nodded and said, "When the warehouse is honest, we know etiquette, food and clothing, and we know honor and disgrace. Shayang County has already had a prosperous atmosphere."

Cao Yun was silent for a moment, "The county magistrate came from a great family, and was also a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. What restrictions did the Ming Dynasty treat a wealthy family like you?"

Tian Min's face changed slightly, she looked at Cao Yun, and then said for a while: "Did Your Highness remember the rebellion of the wealthy families in Daqi?"

"Yes, this is one of the biggest problems that bothered me in Daqi, and it is also the thing that troubles me the most. The county magistrate came from a family, but he was in a high position. Cao had this question, and if the county magistrate was inconvenient, he would not have to answer it." Cao Yun said

Tian Min smiled slightly, remembering the general Wu and Emperor Emperor who was still in his official residence at this time was as expected. The pit was digging deeper and deeper. His prince would inevitably become more and more muddy in this pit, and he could never climb out of the specific situation again. Tian Min was not clear, but he could still guess that His emperor wanted to make a wedge between the prince of Qi and their emperor. To put it bluntly, it was the best result of the conflict between the two of them on political ideas. Naturally, they had an irreconcilable conflict due to the conflict of ideas, which led to chaos in Qi. In Qi, the only one who could threaten the current emperor of Qi, that is, His prince, was the least effective, and could also make the emperor of Qi deepen his suspicion of the military god, and thus abandon it. This was also quite beneficial to the Ming Dynasty in military affairs.

"If we only talk about wealth, the Ming Dynasty is rich, and there are many wealthy families, and the streets are full of them!" Tian Min smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty promotes agriculture and is rich in merchants. For example, our Minister of Revenue Geng Jingming, who can be said to be rich and can rival the country. He is also the five great masters in Shayang in the eyes of His Highness the Prince. The wealth in the family is also extremely amazing. I don't know, but our Tian family has a year's income enough to be worthy of all the fiscal revenue of a small and medium-sized county. That year, His Majesty promised to make the five great masters in Shayang into the five great masters in the world. This promise was fulfilled."

"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is not worried," Cao Yun asked. If you have money, you will naturally have higher requirements. If you have wealth, you will naturally pursue political discourse power. This is human nature, instinct. People's hearts are always greedy, and they always want nothing. If you don't, you will want more.

"Your Highness, what I just said is about wealth. If we put aside wealth, then there is no wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty." Tian Min laughed: "What is the so-called wealthy family? It not only means that they have money, but also means that they have mixed relationships, deeply embedded in local power, and even those who depend on their lives."

"Aren't you that?"

"No!" Tian Min said: "There are indeed many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, but I wonder if the prince has discovered it. Our Ming Dynasty has an extremely strict ban on land, that is, it is strictly forbidden to merge land. The land owned by each family has a limit. Even if they are first-rank officials of the dynasty, the land they own in their families shall not exceed two thousand acres."

"I don't believe that these people really only have this little land." Cao Yun shook his head

"It's really only this," Tian Min said seriously: "In addition to this ban, the key is that you can't pay taxes. Your Highness. For example, my family owns two thousand acres of land, and the tax you need to pay every year is one hundred taels, but if you have two thousand and one acres, this number will become two hundred taels, and two thousand and two acres will become four hundred taels. Tell me, can I betray you, don't say that you want to deceive, deceiving it may have a temporary effect, but there is no airtight wall in this world. Once discovered by the tax department, it will be punished to lose everything. If the supervision department is targeted, Xi Qin will be waved to me."

Cao Yun said silently

"Besides, if you want to accumulate wealth and make a fortune, owning land is not the fastest way to make money in the Ming Dynasty, or even a stupid way. Because the Ming Dynasty was very alert to those who like to accumulate land, but there was no restriction on merchants. As long as you have the ability, no one would pay any money you make. You just need to pay taxes in a regular manner. Since there is a quick way to make money, who will still focus on a few acres of land. In the emperor's words, land is just a means to make a living for the people who are preparing for the people. In other words, it is only the most basic survival. Therefore, the taxes on farmers in our Ming Dynasty are extremely low, and there is no corvee service."

"Are your emperor not worried about these wealthy merchants who are as rich as a country?"
