Chapter 20 Nanye Opera Zhongding Jiaozhou Zuo Ci Yuji Double Out of Customs (11)
When Nan Ye heard the little girl say all the details clearly, he felt suspicious. He knew that children would not lie, and it was probably the family's son who deserted after he was injured. The ancient deserters were caught and wanted to be executed, and the important ones had to sit together and kill the three clans. No wonder the two old men looked pale.
In order to confirm his guess, Nan Ye asked everyone in the room to retreat, leaving only a few cronies, and then squatted down and said to the little girl, "The lying child's nose is going to get longer!" How can you prove that you didn't lie?
As soon as the little girl heard that her nose would grow longer, she subconsciously touched her nose and said, "My nose has not grown longer!" I didn't lie! How can the mage trust me?
Nan Ye felt that the little girl in front of him was quite smart and very pleasant, so he smiled and said, "If you let me wait to see your brother alive, won't you prove that he is not dead?"
The little girl clapped her hands and said, "Okay! OK! I took the mage to my uncle's house to see my brother.
"Mage, I can't wait for this mercy! Please, give me a break!" The old couple heard their little daughter kneel down and begged for mercy, and kept kowtowing to Nan Ye.
The little girl still didn't understand what had happened, but when she saw her parents kneeling on the ground, she knelt down with her. Nan Ye picked up the three and said, "Don't panic. As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely take it lightly."
Now the two old people also knew that they couldn't hide it anymore, so they sighed and told the truth. It turned out that their son Wang Xiang sent troops with Zhu Fu to save Hepu. When he was lying halfway, he was hit by an arrow on his shoulder and fell into the grass on the roadside and pretended to be dead. When the thieves left, he climbed out of the dead and ran home.
Wang Xiang was the only son in the family and suffered an arrow injury. The two old men couldn't bear their sons to fight for their lives in the army, so they hid him at their uncle's house in the countryside. In this troubled era at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many wars, and there were many deserters, and usually no one would catch them. But I didn't expect Nanye to come to the pension today to reveal flaws.
After listening to the two old people's story, Nan Ye was not angry but happy, because so far he did not know how Zhu Fu suffered the defeat. The county soldiers who participated in the battle died and fled. Today, they finally found an insider. So Nan Ye said to the two old people, "The two old people are eager to love their children, and even if there is shelter, it's not a big deal. Although it is against military law for Wang Xiang to escape, I can still give him a chance to make contributions. I don't know if his injury has healed?"
As soon as the two old men heard that their sons still had a chance to commit crimes, they hurriedly nodded and said, "It's almost done!"
Nan Ye nodded and said, "Well, wait for him to come to the Assassin's Mansion to meet me. Don't blame the ruthless military law for coming late. As for these pensions, you can leave them as flowers later, and they will be used as food and salaries for Wang Xiang.
The two old men sent Nanye away gratefully and immediately went to find their son without mentioning it. After Nanye's condolences, the families of the fallen soldiers in the city returned to the Assassin's Mansion and ordered Xi Zhi to draft a notice and post it.
As soon as the notice came out, it immediately caused another uproar in the city. Countless people gathered in front of the Assassin's House to discuss the notice. Later, people couldn't squeeze in at all and could only ask what was written on the notice of the first person. At this time, the first person will talk about the content of the notice with great interest.
The original notice had two lists, one was the list of gentry merchants who gave gifts to the Assassin's Mansion, and the other was the pension list of the fallen soldiers. The list also indicated how many gifts were sent and how many pensions were issued.
Below the two lists is an announcement to the idea that after the death of the assassin Zhu Fu, the illegal slaves in his house stole all the treasury and goods. The new assassin, Mage Nanye, has always loved the people like a son. After taking office, he found that there was no money and food in the treasury, and even the soldiers could not make up enough.
At this time of crisis, thanks to the strong help of the city's gentry and merchants to donate property, this has eased the urgent need. This notice is first to thank these gentry and merchants, praising them for being righteous and righteous merchants. Anyone who is on the list can change to "righteous registration" in the assassin's mansion. In the border of Jiaozhou, you can ride a horse, ride a car, wear silk, Ge, Ling and brocade clothes, and become an official... In short... Except for the commercial tax to be paid, all other rights are the same as those of ordinary people.
This is the only one that made those businessmen burst into tears. Because of the Han Dynasty's policy of heavying agriculture and suppressing merchants, it was not allowed to ride horses, take cars, be officials, and even better clothes were not allowed to wear better clothes. Now these businessmen can change to "righteousness" and have the rights of ordinary people. How can they not like it?
If the first content of the notice makes the businessmen who gave gifts to Nanye excited, the second content makes all the businessmen present excited. The second article says that Master Nanye is not greedy for property, takes it from the people and uses it for the people, and distributes all the property donated by the gentry and righteous merchants as a pension for soldiers, as evidenced by a list and gift certificate. At this time, there is no property in the Assassin's mansion to recruit troops to avenge Zhu Shi, so I hope that the majority of gentry and merchants will have money and make a strong contribution, but they will never force much. Anyone who donates property can change the "municipal status" to "righteous status" as the former.
Seeing this, all the businessmen present were moved. None of them wanted to change their nationality, but they couldn't decide how much to donate. If you donate less, it won't look good, and if you donate too much, you will be distressed. However, when they saw the third part of the notice, they decided to donate more, and even the merchants who had given gifts before decided to donate again.
It was originally stated in the third section of the notice that because the money for pensioners and recruiting soldiers should be funded from the tax of a state, the property donated at this time is regarded as a temporary loan from the governor's government. After the tax is full, the principal and interest will be returned. The governor's government will issue a certificate and print it to the donor, and the interest is 10,000 yuan per year. One calculation. ( It is 120 yuan, which is 1.2% interest. Ten thousand yuan is also the asset tax of the Han Dynasty.)
Nanye's move is equivalent to issuing treasury bonds in disguise. How can those businessmen resist the double** of human rights and interests? With this kind of stable business, they naturally decided to donate more.
At the end of the notice, some statements were written. First, the relatives of soldiers who did not receive pensions outside the city were notified that they could go to the Assassin's Office to receive pensions according to the list. Secondly, it was stated that only the Assassin's Office of Communications Prefecture had the right to issue "righteous status", and its counties did not have the right to issue it, nor did they have the right to accept donations, etc...
As soon as this notice came out, Jiaozhou Assassin's Office immediately turned into a lot of traffic a few days ago. The "municipal" merchants in the whole city are concentrated here waiting to donate money, and some gentry and rich people think that this is a business that not only earns interest but also can please Master Nanye to donate money.
Xi Zhicai led a group of Nan Ye's disciples to write documents and seals, and complained that Nan Ye should do this after moving the printing factory. Nan Ye sighed and blocked Xi Zhicai back. "I'm short of money!"
In less than three days, Nanye did not worry about the lack of money and began to worry about how to pay off the huge interest as soon as possible. Everyone under Nan Ye knew that the teachers and students were rich, but they didn't expect that Nan Ye only used a few decrees to fill the treasury in a few days. This is simply not a way to make money. It can be said that it is a stone into gold.
Of course, some people are worried about whether Nan Ye's change of the law will be opposed by the court, but Nan Ye himself is not worried. First, the court was too busy to take care of itself, and its hands could not reach Jiaozhou at all. Second, because Emperor Ling is a greedy commodity. If he knew that this method would make money quickly, he would not only not stop Nanye, but also imitate Nanye to really make a national debt.
These days, in addition to collecting gifts to make money, Nanye also saw a person, who was Wang Xiang, who pretended to be dead by the arrow. This young man is 17 or 18 years old. He is just ordinary-looking and does not have the decisive military temperament. Obviously, he is just a recruit. Nan Ye estimated that it was his first time to fight with Zhu Fu on the battlefield, and no wonder he was afraid of death.
Although Wang Xiang is afraid of death, he is responsible. He heard that the new assassin came to worry about his parents, so he rushed to the assassin's house overnight to plead guilty.
