The next day, Gao Hanwen first asked Zhu Xiaoyou to draft a commercial tax reduction method for deducting input tax based on land rent, and agreed to release it at the property value meeting. Xu Tongzhi was so respectful and obedient during the meeting that Gao Hanwen couldn't help but pay attention.
After the meeting, Gao Hanwen left Xu Tongzhi to talk in the side room, and went to the cell to inform Cao Siyuan.
The content of the discussion was of course about Huang Dalang. Do the two assistant officers know their roles? Especially Xu Tongzhi, the second assistant official.
Gao Hanwen will have to stay in Hangzhou for a long time and must ensure his personal safety.
"Mr. Gao, two days ago, the newly-appointed inspector, Mr. Zhang, has already inquired and asked Mr. Gao to forgive me. That is because I am indeed angry because of the incompetent son-in-law who stepped in, but I am not that angry yet. You are so arrogant that you will eliminate the criminals on the same day.
As a Tongzhi, there is no term limit. As long as you are promoted after completing the "change of rice into mulberry", the gangsters will be dealt with by me. Be the first to clear the relationship with yourself.
"So if you didn't participate, how could they summon the jailers so easily?" Gao Hanwen continued to ask.
"Sir, the Inspector-General's Yamen just came over to deliver the documents, and Cao Siyu has been escorted over there awaiting trial." Zhu Xiaoyou originally went to the cell to run errands to summon Cao Siyu, but he found that the person was not there at all. All the jailers were very nervous. After asking, they found out that Prisoner Cao had not come to work yesterday. When I returned to the lobby, I happened to meet an official from the Inspector's Yamen who came to transfer Cao Siyun's escort documents. I took it over and reported it to Gao Hanwen.
"So fast" Gao Hanwen was a little surprised by the actions of the new inspector Zhang Xunfu. Sure enough, he is a descendant of the reformist former prime minister Zhang Cong. I didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites, which had been dormant for more than ten years, would still be so efficient once it was activated.
Not only Gao Hanwen was surprised, Xu Tongzhi also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. It seems that I barely passed yesterday's duet, which was a close call.
After sending Zhu Xiaoyou away, Gao Hanwen stared at Xu Tongzhi again.
Xu Tongzhi was stared at so hard that he could only bite the bullet and say
"Sir, you should know the situation you were in when you first took office. In fact, the strict Party does not have hope for you. Qingliu hopes that there will be chaos in Hangzhou. This gives my stupid uncle the wrong signal to think that he can do whatever he wants."
"Gao. Sir, you will be a cabinet minister or even the chief minister in the future. Your family is also from a wealthy family in Shaoxing. You should understand the difficulties of those of us who are cabinet ministers' families. Although we can take the opportunity to make some unscrupulous money, it is even more difficult. You have to take the initiative to pave the way and build bridges for ministers. In the final analysis, it is like picking chestnuts from the fire. But this has been the case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Even throughout history, my uncle has no choice. Although our branch in Hangzhou is not Xu. He is a direct descendant of the family, but he cannot betray the Xu family."
"So it was the Xu family over there who gave the order," Gao Hanwen tried.
“Hey, Mr. Gao, are you really from a noble family?Whoever gave the instructions, the Xu family of Huating just didn't speak well. It was just that my uncle understood it from the tone of the person talking there, plus he was angry at the time. In addition, I am in the Yamen again, so the people below carried it out without even thinking." Xu Tongzhi was a little anxious, and he was also very depressed that the prefect, who was born in a noble family, did not understand the noble family.
"Oh" OK It took a while for Gao Hanwen to understand. Isn't this what the later generations did? There were a lot of ambiguities in the documents. The following were all done by understanding the tone. In the end, success was due to good leadership. If it was wrong, the following was used without authorization. The main family enjoys the benefits, and the separate family assumes the role of risk isolation. Although the separate family bears greater risks, it is not much better than that of ordinary people, and the elites of the separate family also have the opportunity to obtain the resources of the family through adoption, adoption, or other means.
It’s okay for the old Taoist priest from Jiajing to play this trick. It turns out that all the aristocratic families below are playing this trick. They are all masters of regulating yin and yang. This Ming Dynasty is really getting more and more frustrating.
Gao Hanwen had no choice but to sigh, and had to calm down and return to the main body, "I may revolutionize in Hangzhou in the future, how should you deal with yourself as an elite of a separate family?"
"I, next The official guarantees the reputation of his ancestors and will never destroy it." Xu Tongzhi was forced into a corner and said this.
"Is your ancestor the ancestor of the same family or a separate family?" Gao Hanwen continued to ask.
"Is this important? If your change is to make me forget my ancestors, I'm afraid I still can't do it. "Xu Tongzhi also toughened up for a while. As a scholar, especially an elite from a separate family, he still has the integrity he should have.
"Okay. I won't put you in such a difficult situation, and maybe I'll give you a chance instead. If your separate family can surpass this family in one thing, are you looking forward to this day?" Gao Hanwen asked tentatively. He wanted to know where to break in in this patriarchal society.
"Since ancient times, the family has As one, I never look forward to the decline of our family, but if we simply separate and grow, I would be happy to see it succeed." Xu Tongzhi thought for a moment, and then replied.
"Okay, as long as you make this statement. I think it will be the same in other homes. You go back and do the value-adding. Since the inspector general recognizes you, I guess there is no problem. Work hard, maybe we can make something different." Gao Hanwen didn't care whether Xu Tongzhi approved of the change or not, so he encouraged it with this hard-core chicken soup.
He wanted to make the branch family rebel from the beginning. It's unrealistic and can only be guided by future interest disputes.
After finishing the affairs at the front office at noon, Gao Hanwen finally received a letter from his hometown in Shaoxing. The content of the letter was very surprising, that is, as Gao Hanwen. As the eldest son, Gao Hanwen must not marry a widow as his wife.
The tone in the letter is quite rude, almost saying that if he disobeys, he will be removed from the family tree to avoid being embarrassed.
This. It made Gao Hanwen feel unreal. He had not made any noise in Hangzhou yet, so why did the outside world know about it, and there were still so many opinions?
After Gao Hanwen replied perfunctorily, he and Xu Youzhi had dinner together at noon, feeling a little absent-minded. The old housekeeper didn't read the family letters and didn't know the situation.
Not knowing how to deal with family relationships in this era, Gao Hanwen directly chose to avoid it. Don't rush to face these stubborn family members.
Leonardo came back slowly in the afternoon. It's a pity that Li Shizhen has already gone to the tea house to obey the orders. Gao Hanwen had to go and communicate with Leonardo first.
In addition to laying out Li Shizhen's medical experiments, the content of the exchange was to ask Jiajing what he wanted to know from here. As the guarding eunuch of the Manufacturing Bureau, Yang Jinshui was Jiajing's mouthpiece. Based on this, we can infer that Jiajing's attitude is not wrong.
