It turned out that the woman's husband's family name was Yang, and she lived in a kind family in Wujiang, Suzhou.It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the emperor wants to levy salaries to resist Liao.An average of nine cents of silver per mu of land is levied, and two taels of silver are levied on the pass, salt and other miscellaneous items.In 1631, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the field class was raised from nine centimeters to one and two centimeters.Those officials apportioned a large amount of taxes and salaries from official and military fields to a small number of people's land, resulting in an average of 5 or 6 percent per mu of salaries and taxes.The grain and wheat harvested by the people are not enough for themselves, so where can they afford to pay such heavy taxes?
The government raided the homes of the households who could not pay the taxes, and arrested the strong laborers to work to resist the salary, and the husband of Yang Erniang was arrested in Yangzhou.But it didn't come to pass, just when Yang Erniang's husband was tired, hungry and cold while working, he and a few people stole a war horse to roast food, and was found and beaten to death.After Yang Erniang learned the bad news, she cried to death, and the parents of both sides had already died, and Yang Erniang, who relied on her, had to take her little Ai'er to sing and beg for some life.But who knows, it didn't take long for the messenger from Yangzhou Mansion to come to the door and forcibly ask Yang Erniang for her husband's fine for killing horses.Poor Yang Erniang, a lonely woman, rely on, where is there still silver.Under the begging and begging, Yang Erniang sold all the things that could be sold in the family, except for a small tiled house left, if even the house was sold, Yang Erniang and Ai'er would not even have a place to live.Even so, Yang Erniang's family still owes a huge amount of money to Yangzhou Government, Yang Erniang wiped her tears all day long, so she had to come to Yanyu Building every day to sing and beg for a living, hoping to get a few dollars and pay off the debt as soon as possible.The more Jiang Chuhan listened, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "In that case, why don't you leave here?"
”"I can't go, even if I go, under this world, where is the place for our mother?"
Yang Erniang wiped her tears and said lightly."
Liaoyu, Liaoyu."
Jiang Chu snorted coldly, "After beating someone to death, he even forcibly asked for a fine, is there still a king law in this world!"
It's just a bunch of bastards!
”The guest officer was quieter.Yang Erniang exclaimed, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, don't be heard by the people in the government, if you are caught, you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”Jiang Chuhan let out a long sigh and said lightly: "You two sit down and have a good meal together, I asked Xiao Er to add a few more dishes, and I will treat it as if I invited you two." ”After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuhan took out a fifty taels of silver from his waist and stuffed it into Yang Erniang's hand, sighed and said, "Take it to pay off the debt, a horse, twenty or thirty taels should be enough." ”"Guest officer, you can't do it."
Yang Erniang exclaimed, took the heavy silver, gritted her teeth, and said resolutely: "The slave family will never accept two silver taels in vain in his life, and the guest officer has already paid for twenty copper coins, and the guest officer is willing to listen to the slave family's singing, and the slave family is already very grateful." ”Yang Erniang stuffed the heavy silver back into Jiang Chuhan's hand, Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly, and finally nodded heavily, and sighed: "Okay, but this meal needs to be excused again, just treat it as a song that I Jiang Chuhan likes you to sing, just invite you two to have a meal." ”"This" Yang Erniang frowned, lowered her head and thought about it, looked at Jiang Chuhan's sincere eyes, and finally nodded lightly and thanked Jiang Chuhan.Jiang Chuhan then called the second child of the running hall, smiled and handed the recipe to Ai'er, the second child who watched the running hall couldn't help but be amazed, feeling that Yang Erniang had met a noble person today, and she was happy to listen to the music, and even invited Yang Erniang and Ai'er to sit down and eat together.Ai'er, who was looking at the recipe, held her little head high and bit her fingers, and after reading it for a long time, although Ai'er knew how to read, she finally shook her little head hard, looked at Jiang Chuhan with a bitter face and said: "Uncle, Ai'er doesn't know how to order, you can order a chicken Ai'er and her mother to eat." ”"Good!"
Jiang Chuhan replied heartily.Ai'er's words suddenly attracted a reprimand from Yang Erniang.Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, and could see that Yang Erniang cherished his precious daughter very much, so he disciplined him extremely strictly."
Children, it's good to be innocent."
Jiang Chuhan smiled and waved his hand, took the recipe in Ai'er's hand, and ordered a few good hot dishes for Yang Erniang and Ai'er to eat.The dishes in this restaurant are extremely good, but after a while, several exquisite hot dishes are ready, Ai'er can't help cheering, twisting the chopsticks and eating them flying, even the more reserved Yang Erniang, the speed of eating can't help but increase a little.Jiang Chuhan didn't eat, just looked at the two of them with a smile, and took a few sips from time to time with a glass of wine, with a calm look on his face.Yang Erniang and Ai'er were eating, and suddenly they heard a heavy drink from outside the door: "Okay, you Yang Erniang, you still have silver to eat here!"
What a pleasure!
”Yang Erniang's hands trembled suddenly, and the chopsticks in her hands couldn't help falling to the ground, Jiang Chuhan raised his eyes and saw that the person outside the door was dressed as an official, and there were also several people dressed in official clothes behind him, who had already strode in."
Hmph, it's really leisurely, let me ask you, when will you pay back all the money you owe?"
The official smiled coldly at Yang Erniang, with an awe-inspiring momentum, and a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth."
Big brother."
Yang Erniang's shoulders suddenly shook violently, her eyes were full of fear, and she kept begging: "If the trouble is delayed for a while, the slave family will definitely be able to pay it back." ”"Hmph, do you want to pay it back?
I don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey!
”The poor man said viciously: "Today is the deadline, I have already said it last time, if you can't pay it back, you will take your daughter to pay the debt, and by the way, I have to take you with you, and go to the house to make cows, horses and concubines for our adults!"
”"No, no, don't take my daughter into debt."
Yang Erniang's body trembled violently, her hands began to tremble violently, and she said in a trembling voice, "Ai'er is my precious root!"
I'm still so young, big brother, please don't take our family's beloved son's debt, let me do whatever I can do, don't take our family's beloved son's debt!!
”"Less!"
The poor man impatiently waved his hand and pushed away Yang Erniangzi, this force almost pushed Yang Erniangzi to the ground, and the poor man said viciously: "I only use you to pay the debt, I'm afraid it's not enough, you have to take your daughter!"
You can sell it in the kiln for a good price, brothers, take their mother and daughter away!
”"Yes!"
A few people behind him shouted, and quickly sneered and surrounded him, grabbing Yang Erniang's arm and dragging it out."
Stop!"
Suddenly, there was a loud drink, and the poor people turned their eyes and looked at Jiang Chuhan with a sneer, only to see Jiang Chuhan's face turned blue, and he said coldly: "Let go of their mother and daughter, how much money they owe, I will pay it back for them." ”"You still?
You can pay it back?
”The leader was obviously stunned for a moment, and after suddenly waking up, he said with a sneer.A piece of gold of ten taels fell crisply on the table, and Jiang Chu said coldly: "Ten taels, is it enough." ”"It's not enough, it's still early."
The poor head glanced at the surrounding brothers, and after letting go of Yang Erniang, he simply sat down and looked at Jiang Chuhan with an iron face with interest."
Smack!"
Another piece of gold fell on the table."
Sixty taels, is it enough?"
Jiang Chuhan clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice."
Hehe, it's very early, not even a fraction is enough."
The poor man sneered and shook his head vigorously.Jiang Chuhan took out two gold ingots from his waist and put them on the table suddenly, his face was deep as if he was about to drip blood, and said coldly: "One gold ingot is one hundred taels, a total of two hundred and sixty taels of gold, equivalent to two thousand six hundred taels of silver, is it enough?"
”"Hahaha.Still not enough!
”The official suddenly laughed, turned to a vicious slap, and sneered: "Let me tell you, Yang Erniang owes a total of 5,000 taels of silver to the government, can you pay it back?"
”"One horse, five thousand taels!"
Jiang Chuhan suddenly gasped: "This is simply a living robbery!"
”"What's wrong with five thousand taels?
A horse is worth so much money, not convinced?

Go to our family?
Do you dare to go?
”The official said fiercely."
Is there any royal law left?"
Jiang Chuhan was furious in an instant, slammed the table and stood up, pointed at the official and roared: "The common people raise your group of dogs, and you repay your food and clothing parents like this?"
You're not even as good as a dog!
The dog will bark twice, you are literally eating people!
Not even a brute!
A horse costs 5,000 taels of silver, you are simply forcing the good to become a prostitute!
Push people to the end of the road!
”"What did you say!"
The poor head was scolded by Jiang Chuhan at this time, obviously he was already angry, and he pulled out the snowy knife at his waist with a rub, and said angrily with a cold face: "You have a kind of say again!"
”"I said you weren't even as good as brutes!"
Jiang Chuhan's anger had reached the extreme, and his sober head had already been carried away by anger at this moment, pointing at the official's nose and scolding.ps: Baidu Encyclopedia Liao.Also known as salary, the name of the tax added in the late Ming Dynasty.The campaign began in 1618 in the forty-sixth year of Wanli and was mainly used for the military needs of Liaodong.By the end of the 48th year, except for a few areas such as Guizhou, the average amount of silver per mu of land was increased by 9 cents, totaling 5.2 million and 62 taels.At the time of the Apocalypse, it was also levied on the Guan, the salt and other miscellaneous silver taels.In 1631, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, he raised the field tax from nine cents to one cent and two cents, distributed more than 6,670,000 taels of silver, and exempted more than 5,220,000 taels of silver in addition to tariffs, salt taxes and miscellaneous items, totaling 7,488,298 taels of silver.At that time, it was called "three salaries" together with training and salary.
