Chapter 604: Bad luck only picks out misfortune, and hemp ropes only break at small places
Among the Roppongi Corollas, the ones who have to pay the least price are the natal ones. Not only can these natal gentlemen get a kiss without spending any money, but they can even You can also make money from the oiran.
Because your natal person has a very high social status, you can make money just by using the oiran to organize some gathering activities or spend money in your own store.
The biggest expense here is the tribute gentleman. The licking dog who is responsible for paying tribute is only responsible for paying the bill, but often you can't see the oiran. If you can get an invitation letter at the poetry meeting, it is already This is a very happy thing. These tribute gentlemen are often businessmen who have become extremely rich. Their social status is extremely low. They need to use this kind of poetry gathering to join the upper class society.
As for the method of playing in the Japanese country, it was limited in size, so the commotion was not big. After the sea was opened, it flowed into the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty immediately promoted this thing to an even greater extent.
The reason why Qu Hexing wanted to clean up his house personally was because it was so embarrassing!
The twelve people on the Matsue Prefecture's oiran list are all tool men who flaunt their wealth through the streets. The reputation of being a prodigal caused by these incestuous carriages has spread to Nagasaki! Obviously it can be played by Tian Mingjun, but the six gentlemen must be gathered into one body, and even the tribute gentlemen are included.
Who is so powerful that he wants to pay tribute to a gentleman?
The Qu family can barely reach the level of a monopoly class. Under the official selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty, a new class, the monopoly class, is being born among the powerful and powerful.
There are a total of 64 cotton shops in Shanghai County, and 50 of them are owned by the Qu family. Even the land deeds of the county government belong to their Qu family. If Yan Shixuan had not been too strong, the Qu family would still have to hold the land deeds. Let go, there are hundreds of boats floating on the sea, circling around a group of women all day long.
Yan Shixuan told the angel with an aggrieved look on his face that he wanted to surrender and not be given a way to survive, making him look like a little pitiful person. But how could a little pitiful person manage Shanghai County with 800,000 people in order? Poor little guy, can he replace the inside and outside of the county government office with his own people? Can this poor little boy turn his hands to make clouds and turn his hands to make rain?
The Hailong Gang is gone.
In the case of Qiu Yunniang’s murder, Yan Shixuan’s interrogation revealed that he had killed five fathers and sons of the Fan family and four fathers and sons of the Chen family!
In the eyes of the powerful right-hand man, the process of this case is that the county magistrate Yan Shixuan rebuilt the market and wanted the land shared by the Fan family and the Chen family. The Fan family and the Chen family said no and directly The county magistrate had his house broken down and his family wiped out.
If Qu Hexing hadn't been afraid, would he have taken the initiative to hand over the land deed? If you don't pay, you will follow in the footsteps of the Fan family and the Chen family.
In Qu Hexing's opinion, there is no difference between this Yan Shixuan and the stones in that pit, they are both smelly and hard! The methods are ruthless and resolute, and they do things without mercy.
Under the official election, their Qu family is a top wealthy family that can compete with Songjiang Sun Family and Songjiang Ocean Trading Company.
Qu Daocheng plays courtesan. Even if he builds a luxurious villa and hides the beauty of the twelve courtesans in a golden house, Qu Hexing doesn't bother to care about him. But Qu Daocheng is swaggering through the market. Isn't this obviously seeking death? ? Qu Daocheng's behavior is like a big fat pig shouting at the butcher: Look at me, look at me, I'm fat, I can't stand it anymore, I can kill it and eat meat!
Qu Hexing's worries did not come to pass. Yan Shixuan, the Prince of Hell, seemed to want to destroy the Hailong Gang even more.
The Hailong Gang, which had been entrenched in Shanghai County for nearly thirty years, disappeared overnight, as if it had never existed. As a result, just after the storm, his grandson took the incense car of the twelve oirans. , came to the top luxury place, and wanted to compete with others for wealth!
Qu Hexing really hit him, with a stick in his pocket. When Qu Daocheng saw that his grandfather was really going to kill him, he wailed and ran back. However, Qu Daocheng, who was hollowed out by wine and sex, even the sixty-year-old Qu Daocheng He Xing didn't dodge even one of his sticks. The stick missed his head and hit Qu Daocheng's leg.
"Help! Help!" Qu Daocheng was in pain, and he knelt on the ground and crawled forward, but no one around him dared to lend a helping hand. Even the courtesans who had just got off the car were frightened. Losing color, he kept hiding back, for fear of harming the fish in the pond!
Qu Hexing once again raised the wooden stick high, as if he was going to hit him again. It seemed that he was really angry and would not stop until he was beaten to death.
"Mr. Qu is keeping someone alive!" Yan Shixuan was afraid that if he continued to fight like this, he would be involved in a life-threatening lawsuit. As a parent, it would be fine if he didn't see it. If he saw it, he would naturally speak up.
When Qu Hexing heard this voice, he frowned, then quickly relaxed it, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that it was Yan Qingtian who met Yan Qingtian in person, and Yan Qingtian was patrolling the streets again? "
Street patrolling is Yan Shixuan's response to the protected Hailong Gang. The six-room clerk rotates every six days and leads the squad to patrol the streets. There are also Shanghai County inspectors who parade through the city with archers. Anyone who fights will be taken to court. Yan Shixuan himself will also patrol the streets.
Hai Laosi, the boss of Hailong Gang, always said to people when he was drunk: This Yan Shixuan is more like the boss than him! Just take care of two things, take care of this and that.
Yan Shixuan looked around, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "This can't be a murder. My legs are almost broken. It's such a violent incident. I thought this Qujiawan It really belongs to the Qu family, not to the Ming Dynasty.”
“Yan Qingtian is joking, it’s a joke! It’s over, no one will be killed, no one will be killed!” Xing's attitude was even a bit flattering. As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Hexing took the servants and carried the eldest son of the Qu family away.
Li Yougong saw that Yan Shixuan was not as pitiful as he said in Shanghai County.
Yao Guangqi arrived soon, and Yan Shixuan held a banquet in honor of him. He took his master, completed the handover, and went to Hangzhou Mansion. Li Yougong did not leave, but stayed in Shanghai County for a few more days, and did not return until early March. Returned to the capital.
"Yan Shixuan handled a lot of cases in Songjiang Mansion. I brought all these files back. After sorting them into volumes, they can actually be published to the bureaucrats who went to work in the Ming Dynasty. At least they will face these things. When the time comes, his eyes won't be darkened." Li Yougong presented the files he had compiled to the emperor.
There are many files. Li Yougong wrote a table in the "Shanghai County Government Collection Book", describing the composition and content of this book in detail.
"If you call this name, no one will want to read this book. If you change the name to: "Official Records: From Entry to Power", if you change the name like this, the bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty will flock to it. ? No one can get a copy?" Zhu Yijun read the form and was not dissatisfied with the content, but he did not agree with the title.
The name "Shanghai County Government Records" is a bit dull.
“Is the contradiction theory more suitable for this name?” Li Yougong feels that the contradiction theory is more appropriate for this name.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Contradictions talk more about truth than practice, and this book is about practice more than truth."
The theory of contradictions is a general rule. This is a collection of cases with different natures. .
"I obey the decree." Li Yougong was silent for a moment and chose to obey. The name Your Majesty seemed more impactful. What's interesting is that the name His Majesty gave was not to sell dogs on sheep's heads but on others. It fits the content very well and is really relevant.
Yan Shixuan really achieved power. Qu Hexing lived from the Jiajing period to the twelfth year of Wanli. He experienced all the storms and waves. This Yan Shixuan was really difficult to deal with.
"Jibu" is a literary style that has existed since the Han Dynasty. It is a collection of official documents from the county government, government offices, and the imperial court. It is used for compiling county annals. Li Yougong organized these official documents into categories.
"This case is quite interesting." Zhu Yijun flipped through the catalog of the collection, suddenly took a closer look, pulled out a volume from the heavy file, and read it carefully.
"Your Majesty is really discerning. It was only after this case that Yan Shixuan became the Grand Master of Qingtian. The powerful people in Shanghai County are somewhat afraid of Yan Shixuan." Li Yougong said with great conviction.
The case of Qiu Yunniang, one copper plate, fifteen lives.
Qiu Yunniang’s real name is Yun. She was sold to Ren Yazi when she was a child. Ren Yazi raised her for two years. When she found that Yun Niang was crooked, she sold her to the Qiu family and became a child bride. From then on, she became a child bride. Changed her name to Qiu Yunniang.
Qiu Yunniang married Qiu Da when he was fourteen years old and gave birth to a son named Qiu Xiaolang. She had not yet entered school and had not found a husband to give her a name. It would be easier to support herself with such a name.
Qiu Yunniang has not been in good health since she gave birth to Qiu Xiaolang. Qiu Da was also idle, addicted to gambling, and lost all his modest family fortune.
On this day, Qiu Yunniang was a little dizzy and her family had no money, so she gave six-year-old Qiu Xiaolang a copper coin and asked Qiu Xiaolang to buy ginger and make soup to treat his illness.
Qiu Xiaolang was so good at gambling that he imitated his father and gambled with a neighbor kid of the same age. He lost this penny. Qiu Xiaolang was not happy after losing and started fighting with the neighbor kid.
Qiu Yunniang heard the noise and saw a scuffle when she went out. She was sick and in a bad mood, so she naturally scolded the neighbor's children.
When the neighbor kid came home, he cried to his mother, saying that Qiu Yunniang was scolding people, saying that his mother was going to steal men to support the family, and would not even spare a penny of the child's money.
The neighbor’s kid’s wife is known as a shrew! He immediately went to the street and began to curse, the kind of curse that was so unpleasant that his ancestors would suffer the same consequences for eighteen generations.
Qiu Yunniang was unreasonable, because Qiu Yunniang really stole people, and the neighbors knew it all.
This Qiu Da is idle, addicted to gambling, and does not care about the family's livelihood. Qiu Yunniang can only work as a secret prostitute. What is this like? Qiu Yunniang is attracted by Chen Yuanwai, and Chen Yuanwai likes her This kind of married woman has few things to do. She is given a little money every month and she is obedient and does not bother her.
Criticizing the street by shrews is a rare entertainment activity nowadays. Qiu Da was very angry after losing money in gambling. Everyone knew that he had become a green-headed turtle and was scolded by shrews.
This Qiu Da did not dare to provoke the shrew. He returned home, closed the door, and beat Qiu Yunniang severely.
Qiu Da beat Qiu Yunniang and asked Qiu Yunniang to go to Chen Yuanwai to ask for ten taels of silver. Qiu Da wanted the ten taels of silver back!
Qiu Daquan thought that Qiu Yunniang was still in contact with Chen Yuanwai, but in fact Chen Yunwai and Qiu Yunniang had broken off. The main reason was that Chen Yunwai's first wife found out about it and made trouble with Chen Yuanwai. Chen Yuanwai gave her three taels of silver. It's like breaking up the relationship.
Qiu Yunniang was beaten by her husband, abandoned by her benefactor, scolded by a shrew, and kicked out of the house by her husband. She could not go home without receiving ten taels of silver.
Qiu Yunniang was desperate. She could not find ten taels of silver. When she was working as a prostitute, she only had twenty taels of silver for one sex. After joining Chen Yuanwai, she finally stabilized, but it was not much. Chen Yuanwai was getting older. Apart from the monthly reward, he would only reward her when he came to see her, which was less than seven coins a month.
It was a miserable and rainy winter. Shanghai was already rainy. I don’t know when it started, but even Shanghai started to snow.
The snow in the south is different from the snow in the north. The snow in the south melts on the same day, and it is often sleet. When it snows, the temperature drops, and when it melts, it becomes even colder. Qiu Yunniang wore a thin Wearing a shirt, he was walking aimlessly on the street. He fell head first and fell into a snowdrift.
The head of the night patrol happened to meet Qiu Yunniang, so he took the unconscious Qiu Yunniang back to the county government office. She was frozen, so she soaked her in hot water and invited Hui to stay overnight. The doctor from the People's Pharmacy came to diagnose and treat her. It was in the middle of the night that Qiu Yunniang finally regained her consciousness.
The team leader asked Qiu Yunniang where she came from, but Qiu Yunniang didn’t reply and just kept crying.
Yan Shixuan asked about the situation. Two days later, Qiu Yunniang recovered from her illness and her mood stabilized, so she finally told her story. Yan Shixuan thought it was just a quarrel between husband and wife, so he didn't think much about it. Sent back to Mr. Qiu’s house.
The neighbor's child's mother was the scolding shrew. As soon as she heard that the person was back, she stood in front of Qiu's family with all kinds of obscenities and cursed like Allegro. This time, Qiu Yunniang stole the scope of the person. , from Chen Yuanwai to the squad leader, doctor, and Yan County Magistrate.
Qiu Da became so angry that he closed the door angrily. He beat Qiu Yunniang again and asked Qiu Yunniang to find the money. Qiu Da wanted to get his money back.
As soon as the snow started to fall in Songjiang Prefecture, it would not stop for several days. Qiu Yunniang was walking on the street. As she walked, she fell head first and fell into the snow. This time, without the squad leader, Qiu Yunniang was frozen to death in the heavy snow.
"Scum, this Qiu Da can't live, he can die!" When Zhu Yijun saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. It was really difficult for him to understand that this kind of lazy guy was How do you survive? Since you are a father and a husband, you have no sense of responsibility at all. Apart from gambling, you beat your wife and children. If you can't live, you can die and waste food.
It’s true that bad luck only picks out those who are suffering, and hemp ropes only break at the thinnest places.
Qiu Yunniang was sold by her parents, betrayed by others, beaten by her husband, her family had no way of making a living, and she had to sell her body to make money. It was all like this. It seemed that bad luck was not going to let her go, just like a joke. , the first time he was kicked out of the house, and he was found and rescued by the county government team leader, but the second time, he was not so lucky.
Zhu Yijun grabbed the file and took a few hard breaths before continuing to read.
Qiu Yunniang froze to death in front of Chen Yuan's family's restaurant. The shop opened for business this morning. When the waiter and shopkeeper saw a dead man in front of the door, he was startled. He looked closely and saw that it was the master's. mistress.
The affair between Chen Yuanwai and Qiu Yunniang is well known to everyone.
Qiu Yunniang also learned some music, chess, calligraphy and painting from Ren Yazi. Although it was not much, Chen Yuanwai still liked these. Chen Yuanwai’s family was a fierce wife, illiterate and did not want to learn, so Chen Yuanwai often taught Qiu Yunniang is reading and literate.
In order to please Yuan Chen, Qiu Yunniang studied hard. In the past two years, Qiu Yunniang was able to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Chen Yuanwai found out that Qiu Yunniang could take her out, so he often took Qiu Yunniang to poetry gatherings, and even took her to restaurants to eat and drink. They were all blatantly doing this. If Chen Yunwai’s first wife didn’t do anything else, Then she is no longer the real wife, so she started making trouble.
The shopkeeper and waiter of the restaurant knew Qiu Yunniang and immediately informed Chen Yuanwai.
When Chen Yuanwai saw that Qiu Yunniang was dead, he was not only not sad, but also very happy, because Yunniang's body happened to be of great use!
Chen Yuanwai and the Fan family are fighting for a piece of land. This land has no title deeds and is very barren. Before the sea opened, this was a tidal flat that no one wanted. But after the sea opened, this land became a fragrant land. cake.
The Chen family and the Fan family were fighting to the death for this piece of land. Chen Yuanwai whispered something to his adopted son, like this, like this.
When the conflict came again, the fight was about to start with fists and kicks, and the servants of each family were beating you back and forth. No one noticed the fight, but Chen Yuanwai suddenly howled: The Fan family did not strike lightly. It's not heavy, it will kill someone!
When both sides of the conflict took a look, it turned out that Qiu Yunniang, Chen's favorite concubine, had been beaten to death. Even the servants of the Chen family did not know that the body was picked up, and they became angry from the bottom of their hearts. They made such a fuss. For a long time, everyone stopped their hands. You Fan family actually beat people to death. This is a fight to the death!
As soon as the Fan family saw that the Chen family was serious about it and took care of their own losses, they dispersed and ran back to the Fan family.
Chen Yuanwai’s idea is that if you, the Fan family, kill someone, you are in the wrong. If you give the land to my Chen family, the matter will not be sued. Moreover, Chen Yuanwai has great confidence in the beast Qiu Da. , as long as you give him some money, Qiu Da will not sue the officials.
Chen Yuanwai confidently took people to Fan's house for discussion.
The adopted son of the Fan family and several sons were anxiously thinking about how to deal with it. Fan Yuanwai could not give up the land because it was too valuable. He was so disgusted that he came up with an evil method. A life for a life.
Fan Yuanwai called in the firewood bearer at home. As soon as the firewood bearer came in, the Fan family's son hit him on the head and beat him to death.
Then Yuan Yuan, several sons and adopted sons placed the firewood bearer in front of the inner courtyard door, and removed the door bolts in every possible way, so that they could be knocked down with just one push.
Chen Yuanwai rushed into Fan Mansion with his servants. In the excitement of the crowd, he opened the inner door without paying attention to his steps.
Fan Yuanwai’s son had already responded. When everyone rushed in and used sticks, and the scene was extremely chaotic, Fan Yuanwai’s son took out the gong and shouted loudly while banging it, "The Chen family is beating People are dead, people are beaten to death.
That’s two lives.
When the trouble got to this point, someone went to the county government office to report the crime. As soon as the team leader heard that someone had died, he came out with the government officials, and everyone was arrested and brought to the county government office for questioning. They quickly began the autopsy.
If a local cooper is used, then Chen Yuanwai and Fan Yuanwai can buy it, but this foreign cooper is not so easy to bribe. This cooper is from Guizhou and can’t even speak Mandarin. This cooper is the boss Upon inspection of the bodies, it was found that Qiu Yunniang had frozen to death, and the firewood carrier had been beaten to death. The murder weapon was a wooden stick.
Yan Shixuan became angry when he found out that Qiu Yunniang froze to death. He thought on his heels and knew that 90% of them were driven out of the house by her husband and froze to death. The reason for Yan Shixuan's anger was also very clear. He should have asked more questions in the first place. A few words, this simply sends the person back, but basically sends the person to the underworld!
I will not kill Boren, Boren will die because of me.
In this state of mind, Yan Shixuan became furious and had to find out the matter. The method of trying the case was the same old way, hungry.
Everyone was interrogated in turn, confessed, deprived of sleep, and starved for a total of five days. The truth of the case came to light. Yan Shixuan prepared the torture but didn’t use it. They all recruited them. .
The son of Fan Yuanwai, who beat the man to death, was sentenced to death by Yan Shixuan, but the others could only be let go.
Fan Yuanwai's son was sentenced to death, and Fan Yuanwai went crazy. He fought more and more fiercely with the Chen family over the land, and blood was shed several times.
Yan Shixuan asked Fan Yuanwai and Chen Yuanwai to go to the Yamen and ask them to take a step back. The land belonged to the Yamen, and the money for the land was half of the family's. The matter ended here.
Both Fan and Chen did not agree with the mediation result. Why should I give half of my family’s land and my family’s money to his family?
Half a month later, due to the dispute over land, the two sides fought to the death on the land again. This time, the Chen family went to plant rice, and the Fan family tried to stop them. A son of the Fan family died, and the Fan family took action. Come, there is no room left at all, and in the conflict, the Chen family is killed again.
This time someone died, and instead of stopping, the two sides fought even more fiercely on the spot! The squad leader received the report and took the government officials to arrest all the criminals.
In this era where people are beaten to death for water, it is not surprising that people are beaten to death for a piece of valuable land.
In the end of the case, both the Fan family and the Chen family suffered losses. Fan Yuanwai and Chen Yuanwai were all on the beheading list.
The old man of the Qu family, Qu Hexing, was really scared. In the end, the court took the land into his hands without spending a penny. Looking at it from Qu Hexing’s perspective, it was because the Fan family and The Chen family refused to donate and sell their land to the Yamen, which led to the disaster of annihilation. It was also that time that Qu Hexing donated the Yamen's land deed to the Yamen for free.
"For one copper coin, Qiu Yunniang, the firewood bearer, four people from the Chen family, and five people from the Fan family, four people died in the fight for the land, and fifteen people died." Zhu Yijun sighed, if this Qiu Yunniang hadn't originally If you reprimand the neighbor’s children, will these things not happen?
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and felt that Qiu Yunniang would still die. Even with her gambling husband, Qiu Yunniang still could not escape her tragic fate.
The Chen family and the Fan family, without Qiu Yunniang's death, would have fought to the death for that piece of land.
"Where is this Qiu Da? How is he doing now?" Zhu Yijun opened the file and did not see the fate of Qiu Da. He was somewhat dissatisfied. Living one more day for such a person is a waste of food.
Qiu Da is a murderer, but the Ming Dynasty law does stipulate that if the wife steals someone outside, it is legal for the husband to divorce her and drive her away.
"Qiu Da refused to repay his gambling debt and was beaten to death by debt collectors from the Hailong Gang. It was also because of the murder that Governor Shen noticed the Hailong Gang." Li Yougong really went to find out more about it. Follow-up.
Qiu Da died. He was beaten many times by the debt collectors. He still couldn’t pay the debt. He was sold to the dock to work as a coolie. He was unlucky at the work and was beaten many times. Hailong helped those people Sitting as a bandit, what's the importance of attacking? This killed Qiu Da.
Qiu Xiaolang was also sold by the Hailong Gang, but to a family who had no sons.
"You deserve it." Of course Zhu Yijun would not think that the Hailong Gang was a chivalrous person, and Qiu Da could be regarded as evil being rewarded.
Li Yougong frowned and said: "When Qu Hexing returned home, he locked up his only grandson and blocked all the doors and windows with bricks. He left a hole and passed it in for some food and drink. No. Let Qu Daocheng go out."
"But Chen thought that the Qu family was about to die. Qu Daocheng knew that doing anything wrong would make his grandfather angry, but he still did it because the money belonged to Qu Daocheng's father. This is not only doting, but Qu Daocheng's father forced Qu Hexing to submit and recognize the three illegitimate children born outside."
"The Qu family gradually grew in Qu Hexing's hands. To this extent, my son and grandson are not very good.”
"This is not nonsense. Qu Hexing's son and four grandsons all like opium. Yao Guangqi, the magistrate of Yao County, is already investigating."
"Like opium? Let Yao Guangqi investigate." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval. If Li Yougong dared to say it in front of the emperor, then he was at least 80% sure that it was true and not groundless. Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Oiran list? Send an order to the Songjiang Taxation Institute. Who is making such noise? Due to the public opinion, the Tax Inspection Institute will check their homes to see if they have paid enough taxes!”
“By the way, there is also that Xiafei Street, let the Songjiang Prefecture Tax Inspection Institute check and pay enough! Is the tax paid? ”
It’s okay to do business, and it’s not a problem to be more extravagant than Zhu Yijun, but it’s not okay to do business without paying taxes!
Zhu Yijun is already thinking about how to make a fortune, confiscating his house? It's rough to confiscate a house, and it's a one-shot deal, so taxation is the way to go.
"In the next chapter, the Ministry of Household Affairs will clearly stipulate this extravagant thing and impose an additional special tax, starting at 30%, with no upper limit. Don't they have the money to make it? Keep making it, it's exciting Made! "Zhu Yijun is not just talking, but he really wants to impose additional taxes on luxury goods.
The Ministry of Household Affairs quickly drafted regulations to increase taxes. The 30% tax is on two types, jade and jade, while other taxes start at 50%, and Shu Jinchuan satin is increased to 100%. The tax increase was quickly passed by the court.
Luxury goods are completely separated from the use value of commodities. They only have exchange value, and they also have extremely high emotional value, which is to show off. The specific method of collection is that when you walk out of the street, the tax bureau can A tax stamp is issued, which means that this thing comes from Jia Fei Street and is genuine.
Raising taxes on luxury goods is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of the luxury goods industry.
It can effectively curb excessive consumption, and hardworking coolies don’t have to think about relying on this thing to gain popularity. They can’t even pay taxes. In this way, it can also effectively curb the trend of extravagance. In a small circle.
Consumption of luxury goods that far exceed one's own financial resources. This kind of advanced consumption is also part of the trend of competing for luxury, and its impact is extremely bad.
