The big ten thousand mountain Si discussing pass/test called Laohuguan, because this was one forcefully the crossroad that opened cutting from the rocks, the both sides grotesquely-shaped jagged rocks, dominated above the bottleneck, as if can lean to press momentarily, precipitous exceptionally, therefore resulted in such a name. ~ ~ ~ ~ 大万山司的榷关叫老虎关,因为这是一个硬生生从岩石间开凿出来的路口,两侧怪石嶙峋,凌驾于隘道之上,似乎随时可以倾压下来,险峻异常,因此得了这么一个名字。~~~~ Big ten thousand mountain Si discussing closes located in such a position, depends on the both sides appearances of the mountain, constructed a three gate decorative archway, after going, is about the drum pavilion, about outer gate, for vehicles passing, before the gate inside the main gate, has not supposed the wall screening, only in various both sides vertical stroke 67 zhang (3.33 m) high flagpoles, then is the storehouse of the service classroom, the healthy quick classroom and land tax business tax wait/etc.. 大万山司的榷关就设在这样一个位置,依托两侧山势,建了一处三道门的牌楼,进去之后,是左右鼓亭,左右辕门,为了方便车辆过往,仪门之前未设照壁,只在两侧各竖一根六七丈高的旗杆,接着便是头役班房、健快班房、钱粮商税的库房等等。 The old fingers/tiger mouth discussed the accountant who closed/pass is also a big piece, the middle had great hall three, on had „thousandth leather long-standing abuse” „incorruptibly and honorable” and other plaques, had the side room, side building wait/etc.. At this time, in a side room, the room center suspends a brazier, in the brazier one pile of east and west in flaming is burning, side is squatting a clothes old man, throws thinly a volume of account book, is provoking with hot rock drill, making it burn as soon as possible. 老虎口榷关的账房也是偌大的一片,中间有大堂三间,上有“厘革宿弊”、“清正廉明”等匾,配有耳房、厢房等等。此时,其中一间耳房里,房间中央摆着一个火盆,火盆里一堆东西正在熊熊燃烧着,旁边蹲着一个青衫老者,将一册册账薄丢进去,又用火钎子拨弄着,让它尽快地燃烧。 Side has a person to walk slowly and aimlessly slowly the step by the brazier, the fire of sparkling is sparkling his long gown, is the long gown of not popular mixed official, discussed to close the true officer to only have one in this, was the duty tax ambassador, this person should be the duty tax officer of this place. 旁边有个人在火盆旁边缓缓地踱着步子,闪闪的火光映着他的袍服,是不入流的杂职官的袍服,在这榷关真正的官只有一个,就是税课大使,此人应该就是此地的税课官了。 In the dim room, his form was projected to the wall on, on the wall that form is moving slowly, mouth also gathers, because of the effect of projection technique and distortion, a monster opened its big mouth: „Burns down! Burns down entirely! The notebook that in addition makes is certainly flawless! Has the accurate news, the Tongren city mansion his border crossing had handled a case, this Ye Xiaotian is not the fuel-efficient lamp, Hu county is not infrequent by officer that his pit crosses, cannot ask him to see the flaw!” 昏暗的房间里,他的身影被投射到墙上,墙上那道身影缓缓移动着,嘴巴也一张一合,因为投影放大和扭曲的效果,就似一头怪兽张开了它的血盆大口:“烧光！统统烧光！另造的簿册一定要天衣无缝！已经有了准确消息,铜仁府准了他越境办案,这叶小天不是省油的灯,葫县被他坑过的官儿不在少数,万万不能叫他看出破绽来！” ...... …… Ye Xiaotian attained the power of border crossing case smoothly, this not necessarily is Tongren city prefectural magistrate Zhang reads but actually in their inexpensive teachers and students friendship opens the flood gates to him, because sells to ban in the smuggling, particularly smuggles the Burmese country money shape with supporting the enemy at this matter massively. The royal government gives his pressure is very big. 叶小天顺利拿到了越境办案之权,这倒未必是铜仁张知府念在他们那廉价的师生情谊给他大开方便之门,而是因为在走私贩禁,尤其是大量走私缅国财货形同资敌这件事上。朝廷给他的压力也很大。 Undeniably, the government order policy of royal government in the Guizhou province place whether to carry out, to a great extent depends on these headman masters, but they have this and that thoughts, to have oneself benefit stress freely respectively, but they are under the Great Ming royal government after all. 不可否认,朝廷的政令方针在贵州地方能否贯彻执行,很大程度上取决于这些土司老爷,可他们尽管有着这样那样的心思、也各有自己的利益侧重,但他们毕竟是隶属于大明朝廷。 Their petty actions, but to guarantee as far as possible own family's interest, rather than does against the Great Ming royal government, conspires deliberately. From this point, where the National imperial court big shot also not necessarily are actually nobler than them to go, these can climb up the top official step by step. Behind which did not form a huge interest group. 他们的小动作,只是为了尽可能地保证自己家族的利益,而非与大明朝廷对着干,蓄意图谋不轨。从这一点上来说,其实朝中的大佬们也未必就比他们高尚到哪儿去,那些能够一步步爬上高位的官员。哪个背后不是形成了一个庞大的利益集团。 Regarding interest group assembling and parting meeting and parting that these senior officials form, from forming to demise most is about dozens years, then forms a new interest group, but not like Guizhou province these headman families glorious prolonged, is stable. 只是围绕这些高官形成的利益集团聚散离合,从形成到灭亡最多也不过几十年时间,转而重新形成一个新的利益集团,而不像贵州的这些土司家族一样悠久绵长,非常稳定罢了。 In this case, in royal government under reproaches severely, prefectural magistrate Zhang must indicate that in order to explain to the royal government, then. He complied with the request of Hu county is also logical. Hu county and big ten thousand mountain Si under the jurisdiction of Zhang Duo this earth prefectural magistrate, his imperial decree, this issue solved together. 这种情况下,在朝廷的严厉责斥下,张知府也不能不有所表示,以便对朝廷有个交待,如此一来。他答应葫县的请求也就顺理成章了。葫县和大万山司都在张铎这位土知府的管辖之下,他只是一道手谕,这个问题就解决了。 county head magistrate Hua attains the Zhang Duo imperial decree, immediately transmitted to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian has gathered the potential to wait, the imperial decree, then started off as soon as received immediately. 花知县拿到张铎的手谕,马上转交给了叶小天。叶小天早已蓄势以待,一俟接到手谕,便立即上路了。 The Ye Xiaotian trip, performs the belt/bring capable efficient manpower. Except for two tax Ding of duty tax division, is Hua Yunfei, Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and the others, team leader Zhou keeps Hu county. Checkpoint there that because goes out must probably have one not only astute competent and loyal and devoted person guarding, otherwise here, even if found out the issue, that side has all sold to transport the loot goods, did not have the proof. 叶小天此行,尽带精干得力的人手。除了税课司的两个税丁,就是华云飞、马辉、许浩然等人,周班头则留在葫县。因为出关的关卡那里也必须得有一个既精明能干又忠心耿耿的人看守,否则这边即使查出了问题,那边已经把赃货全都销运出去了,也就没了凭据。 Besides these subordinates, Ye Xiaotian also reassigned some people from Romanian Li tall carriages and horses line, investigates the matter on post road, these people are skilled in way, therefore Ye Xiaotian also borrowed Sun Wei xuan, this crawled in the person step by step to Romanian Li tall carriages and horses group chief steward position from a cart driver, all joints on relay station, few he did not understand. 除了这几个手下,叶小天还从罗李高车马行里抽调了一些人,调查驿路上的事情,这些人最精通其中的门道,所以叶小天把孙伟暄也借过来了,这位从一个车夫一步步爬到罗李高车马行大管事位置上的人,驿道上的一切关节,很少有他不懂的。 In addition, is enormous and powerful „obsolete army”. This batch of obsolete, are the Hu county major gentries families' accountant gentlemen, perhaps in the people of several stocktakings by the government authorities, could not only handle such massive things, moreover Ye Xiaotian, since suspected that in the government authorities had the informer of selling smuggled goods, how dare also to use them. 除此之外,就是浩浩荡荡的“老朽大军”了。这批老朽,都是葫县各大士绅家里的账房先生,光靠官府里几个盘账的人,恐怕做不了这么大量的事情,况且叶小天既然怀疑官府中有贩私者的耳目,又怎敢用他们。 But these accountant gentlemen come from each others, is the private accountants of Hu county gentries, not greatly possibly has the connection with this matter, even if such gentries hide in the Hu county smuggling big alligator exactly, moreover his accountant is still involved, only depending on him, gives up any idea to hoodwink the public. 而这些账房先生来自于各个人家,都是葫县士绅的私人账房,不大可能与此事有瓜葛,就算其中那么一位士绅恰好就是隐藏在葫县的走私大鳄,而且他的账房也参与其事,仅凭他一个人,也休想一手遮天。 But these accountant gentlemen mostly aged years are high, not being able to ride a horse, are impossible to walk, therefore deliver them to come with the vehicle, when this arrived at the Yueliang (Moon) bay, they fell on Ye Xiaotian and the others behind. 只不过这些账房先生们大多老迈年高,骑不了马,又不可能步行,所以用车子送他们来,这一来到了月亮湾时,他们就落在了叶小天等人的后面。 Initially when relay station opened cutting to the Yueliang (Moon) bay, once wants to bypass the lake water, but must circle 78 li (0.5 km) away in that case, but the end is continuous high mountain ridge, wanted to operate a path to come out its difficulty ten times in the ferry, Madame She Xiang completes relay station to show eagerly loyally to Zhu Yuanzhang, therefore this used the ferry. 当初驿道开凿到月亮湾时,曾经想绕过湖水,但那样一来要绕出七八里远,而尽头又是绵绵不绝的崇山峻岭,想要从中开条道路出来其难度十倍于摆渡,奢香夫人又急于建成驿道向朱元璋示忠,所以这一段就采用了摆渡。 Now Yueliang (Moon) bay both banks construct the wharf, has the flat base steamship delivery carriages and horses and cargo passes, because here terrain is special, carried the vehicle of cargo to be very difficult to be direct the spreading upper deck, therefore some large numbers of dock workers gathered here, loaded and unloaded the cargo for the passing businessman specially, or the rickshaw embarked. The surrounding common people take the boatman and strength labor as industry, by this Yueliang (Moon) bay, supported countless people. 如今月亮湾两岸都建了码头,有平底大船运载车马和货物通过,因为这里地形特殊,载了货物的车子很难直接驰上甲板,所以有大批力夫聚集在此,专门替过往商贾装卸货物,或者抬车上船。周围百姓以船夫、力工为业,靠这条月亮湾,养活了无数的人。 The accountant gentlemen are waiting for the ferry, without Ye Xiaotian and the others led a horse to go on board to facilitate, Ye Xiaotian has not waited for them, then first rushed to Laohuguan. In mountain pass stone wall the Laohuguan three large characters come clearly into view, the discussing tariff class ambassador who then sees big ten thousand mountain Si leads several service difference officers to wait there. On the social class, Ye Xiaotian is county deputy, the position above, he needs to welcome. 账房先生们连人带车等着摆渡,没有叶小天等人牵马登船便利,叶小天也没等他们,便先奔了老虎关。当关隘石壁上“老虎关”三个大字赫然在目的时候,便见大万山司的榷关税课大使带着几个头役差官等候在那里。论阶级,叶小天是县丞,职位远在其上,他是需要恭迎的。 Ye Xiaotian restrains the mount, that discussed the tariff class ambassador to lead the person to welcome to come immediately, folded the hands to salute to Ye Xiaotian: „Big ten thousand mountain division Laohuguan duty tax ambassador Pang Shaojun, have seen Hu county leaf county deputy.” 叶小天勒住坐骑,那榷关税课大使马上率人迎上前来,向叶小天叉手施礼:“大万山司老虎关税课大使庞少钧,见过葫县叶县丞。” „! Does huge cause?” “哦！庞大使？” Some Ye Xiaotian accidents/surprises looked at his one eyes, then turns over/stands up from gets down immediately, as soon as he moves, more than ten rides then 11 to discontinue. 叶小天有些意外地看了他一眼,便翻身从马上下来,他一动弹,身后十余骑便一一下了马。 Ye Xiaotian was what is surprised is Pang Shaojun name, now emperor Wanli, the given name is Zhu Yijun, therefore this Yi honored two characters are the taboos, has this character in Wanli ascended the throne the name, ascended the throne after Wanli. Should change a character, or omits this character. 叶小天感到意外的是庞少钧的名字,当今皇帝万历,大名可是叫做朱翊钧,所以这翊钧两个字是避讳,在万历登基之前名字里就有这个字的,那么在万历登基之后。就该改一个字,或者把这个字省去。 Luckily on now does not call vermilion Yitian, otherwise Ye Xiaotian must change the leaf slightly or leaf small. Also he has not lived in Zhengde luckily toward, Zhengde toward Liu Jin despotism time, once asked the aim to order, forbidding the world subject with day and other characters to be the name, finally then court attendant China day rain changed name to call side rain, censor Liu Tianhe changed name to call Liu and, waited for Liu Jin to collapse, this absurd order abolished. 幸亏今上不叫朱翊天,否则叶小天就得改叶小地或者叶小小了。也幸好他没生在正德朝,正德朝刘瑾专权的时候,就曾请旨下令,禁止天下臣民用天等字为名,结果当时的郎中方天雨改名叫方雨,御史刘天和改名叫刘和,等刘瑾垮台,这道荒唐的命令才撤消。 But evades current dynasty the given name of emperor. This has actually followed, but this causes huge......, if this matter in Central Plain, is impossible to happen. Also is the place of this central government powerless in local, he is the duty tax ambassador of earth county magistrate voluntarily appointment, above no one paid attention. 但避讳当朝皇帝的名讳。这一条却是一直沿袭下来的,而这庞大使……,这种事若是在中原,绝不可能发生。也就是这天高皇帝远的地方,他又是土知县自行任命的税课大使,上头才无人理会了。 Ye Xiaotian is not the checking unhealthy tendencies censor, is naturally disinclined to pay attention to this matter, therefore incident, he clearer in this place. Every so often the deterrent of imperial authority and royal government, is hard to reach to the place, works in this place, he must have oneself one set of rule. If copies him from detaining constantly in the method that day inside prison these official employed in the capital mouth middle schools come, sometimes will get refused. 叶小天不是纠风御史,自然懒得理会这事,只是因此一事,他更加清楚在这种地方。很多时候皇权与朝廷的威慑,是难以及于地方的,在这种地方做事,他必须得有自己的一套规则。如果一味照搬他从关押在天牢里的那些京官儿口中学来的手段,有时候是会碰钉子的。 „Huge causes to get up, polite, polite!” “庞大使请起,客气,客气啦！” Ye Xiaotian is making fun to help up Pang Shaojun. With a smile typical: „Huge causes, really does not do right by. Recently some large quantities of Burmese country smuggled goods flow in Central Plain, the royal government order to investigate rigorously repeatedly. Lamentable my Hu county card in the exit|to speak of relay station, therefore was reproached repeatedly, said that this officer cannot fulfill responsibility. Not does, checked thorough, has not seen what special place, today arrives in your Laohuguan, to do something as far as possible much, above accountability, many have to explain.” 叶小天打着哈哈搀起庞少钧。笑吟吟地道:“庞大使,实在对不住啊。近来有大批缅国私货流入中原,朝廷屡屡下令严查。可叹我葫县正卡在驿道的出口上,所以屡受责斥,说本官不能尽责。无奈何,上上下下查了个透澈,也没见有什么特别之处,今日到你这老虎关来,也只是为了尽量多做些事,上头问责下来,多少有个交待。” The Pang Shaojun 40 over ages, the lanky melon face, keeps two to cast aside the beard, listening to Ye Xiaotian saying that huge caused the false smile said/tunnel: „Leaf county deputy does not need to be polite, since there is an order of Tongren city mansion, the lower official naturally this full power coordinates. The lower official self-examines, no matter what on assiduous, adheres faithfully, leaf county deputy cannot check what in Gui County, to our big ten thousand mountain Si, hehe......” 庞少钧四十出头年纪,瘦长的倭瓜脸,留着两撇胡须,听叶小天这么说,庞大使皮笑肉不笑地道:“叶县丞不必客气,既然有铜仁府的命令,下官自然该全力配合。只是,下官自问任上勤勉,克尽职守,叶县丞在贵县查不到什么,到了我们大万山司,呵呵……” Ye Xiaotian does not know big ten thousand mountain Si before the Tongren city mansion is authorized obtains the news. However regarding the attitude of huge causing, he understood, if changes into is he, the officials in other counties cannot solve a case, was reproached by the boss, rushes to own area of jurisdiction to select own problem, he will not have the good complexion. 叶小天可不知道大万山司早在铜仁府授权之前就已得到消息。但是对于庞大使的态度,他还是理解的,如果换成是他,其他县的官员破不了案子,受到上司责斥,就跑到自己的辖区挑自己的毛病,他也不会有好脸色。 Therefore always the Ye Xiaotian this time good nature of donkey temperament smiles very much, deprecating said/tunnel: „Has the work to cause huge, but also before please, guides.” 所以一向驴脾气的叶小天这次很好脾气地笑了笑,不以为忤地道:“有劳庞大使,还请头前带路。” Huge made not cold not make Ye Xiaotian one group of enter pale discussed the pass/test, the important pass is having tax Ding Touyi of duty tax division to bustle about. Three gates, left that gate the freight vehicle that came from the south, right that gate the freight vehicle that goes south from the north, middle that gate does not carry the travelers of large quantities of cargo path. 庞大使不冷不淡地引着叶小天一行人进了榷关,关口正有税课司的税丁头役们忙碌着。三道门,左边那道门是从南方过来的货车,右边那道门是从北方南下的货车,中间那道门是不携大批货物的行旅们所走的道路。 Before about two gates, Cheval, a service is inspecting goods by the car(riage), the gate collateral branch a writing desk, behind was sitting a secretary, listening to that service to send out the cargo variety and quantity, then the registration makes an entry one by one, simultaneously is nudging the abacus, figures out this tax money number in behind. 左右两道门前支着拒马,头役逐车验货,门旁支着一张书案,后面坐了一个书记,听那头役报出货物的品种、数量,便逐一登记入册,同时拨拉着算盘,算出该纳的税款数目记在后面。 Supervises to examine the officer to press the blade, looks angrily and fiercely walks back and forth, inspects is examining the goods scene, but middle that gate, is the traveler and good foot business, body mostly only then a burden, therefore the secretary of this gate only marks misconduct toward the population, collects taxes per capita, the package that naturally, they carry must inspect. 督检官按着刀,横眉立目地走来走去,巡视着检货现场,而中间那道门,都是行旅和行脚商,身上大多只有一个包袱,所以这个门的书记只记过往人数,按人头收税,当然,他们携带的包裹也是要检查的。 Searched, supervision, keeps accounts, receives money, opens the tax form, caps the frontier guard official seal in the guide, the entire flow is systematic, although because of Ye Xiaotian one group of arrival, must have the ingredient that acts in a play intentionally, may see, Laohuguan's management is not usually bad, even if otherwise the attire, cannot achieve like this in good order. 搜检的、监督的、记账的、收款的,开税单的,在路引上加盖关防印信的,整个流程井然有序,虽然因为叶小天一行人的到来,其中必有故意做戏的成份,也可看出,平时老虎关的管理也不差,否则就算装,也做不到这样井井有条。 Ye Xiaotian one group of look while walking, the nod, huge causes repeatedly, although is not quite friendly to them, but finds their looks, somewhat is contented. 叶小天一行人边走边看,频频点头,庞大使虽对他们不太友善,可是瞧见他们的神色,也不禁有些自得。 Huge causes to usher in the area inside the Great Wall Ye Xiaotian, said to Ye Xiaotian: „Leaf county deputy, you first rested, drink a hot tea, the matter of auditing said later.” 庞大使把叶小天领进关内,对叶小天道:“叶县丞,你们是不是先歇歇,喝口热茶,查账之事随后再说。” Ye Xiaotian smiles, said: „No, first please enable to lead us to go to the accountant huge, received the book in the past five years to say again.” 叶小天一笑,道:“不啦,先请庞大使带我们去账房吧,接收了近五年来的账簿再说。” „Also good, Sir here invited!” “也好,大人这边请！” Huge causes to show a faint smile , not smalltalk, then received the accountant Ye Xiaotian one group. 庞大使微微一笑,也不客套,便把叶小天一行人领到了账房。 „ Goalkeeper opens greatly! ‚ “把门大开！‘ Huge causes to point at a leaf of big gateway saying that an accountant goes forward to open the door lock, a sliding door, „crash-bang”, piles looks like wind-drift sand in inside book unexpectedly falls in torrents, his both thighs gave to bury. Huge causes to point in the warehouse the chock full book to say to the Ye Xiaotian smile: „Sir, this is for five years, the account of my Laohuguan north and south businessman cargo.” 庞大使指着一扇高大的门户说道,一个账房上前打开门锁,一拉门,“哗啦”一声,堆在里边的账簿竟然像流沙似的倾泻出来,把他两条大腿都给埋了。庞大使指着仓库里满满当当的账簿对叶小天微笑道:“大人,这就是五年来,我老虎关南北商贾货物的账册。” Huge makes being radiant with smiles typical: „Right that two room are also, you checked slowly, counted this room, checked that two rooms is not late again!” 庞大使笑容可掬地道:“右边那两间房也是,你们慢慢查,查完了这一屋子,再查那两屋子也不迟！” Su Xuntian looks that piles up the book that and cannot withstand disorderly, being at a loss for words said/tunnel: „My heaven, so many!” 苏循天看着那堆积如山、杂乱不堪的账簿,张口结舌地道:“我的老天,这么多！” Ye Xiaotian also has a scare, although some of his early expectations, has not thought that really has so many, however is in front of that is causing huge, Ye Xiaotian is actually without turning a hair, a face smiles to say serenely: „What's wrong? You know now why this officer can lead so many accountants?” 叶小天也吓了一跳,虽说他早有预料,也没想到竟然有这么多,但是当着庞大使的面,叶小天却面不改色,一脸安详地微笑道:“如何？你现在知道,本官为何要带那么多账房了？” Su Xuntian and the others are with one voice typical: „Sir is an Sir, wise! Wise!” 苏循天等人异口同声地道:“大人就是大人,英明！英明啊！” : The wise reader friends, please cast your monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! :英明的读者朋友们,请投出您的月票、推荐票！ ( Please search the floating astronomy to be continued, the novel is better to renew is quicker!
