Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Eight Theres no way Im spending money in vain!
Seeing a talent, Han Du instantly became happy.
But the information he got from Yang Zirong made Han Du unhappy.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while, sighed and looked at Yang Zirong and said, "Although I know that various prefectures and counties have many miscellaneous taxes, I never thought that it has reached this point. It is your personal experience that will give people a deeper understanding.
.So, do you think there are no disadvantages in changing the tax system?"
After finally meeting a talented person, Han Du naturally wanted to take a test.
Yang Zirong shook his head violently and categorically objected, "No, the student thinks that the disadvantages of this move are not only numerous, but also quite serious."
Since Han Du is sure that Yang Zirong is a talent, he will not deny him because of his exaggerated words.
"Tell me, what are the disadvantages?" Han Du asked with an appreciative smile.
Yang Zirong was not polite and said bluntly, "The disadvantage of Mr. Sir's move is not to change the tax system itself, but to the people."
Han Du was shocked, but his expression did not change at all. He looked at Yang Zirong indifferently.
As soon as the words came out, Yang Zirong's confidence doubled, and he continued, "If you change the tax system, it will be the officials of various prefectures and counties who will be harmed, and the people who will benefit are the people all over the world. Each prefecture and county will definitely oppose you, but since you are already prepared, you want to change it."
If the tax system is changed, then the reaction of each prefecture and county must be expected. Therefore, sir, there will definitely be a way to force the prefectures and counties to accept the tax system change. This will not become a hidden danger. On the contrary, the students think that the people will become
Mr. Hidden Danger.”
Han Du smiled, shook his head, as if he disagreed with Yang Zirong's view, and said, "Since changing the tax system is beneficial to the people, will the people still oppose it?"
"The people will object!" Yang Zirong said decisively, staring at Han Du with piercing eyes, "Sir, the people are illiterate. No matter how good your tax system is, the people cannot know. If the people want to know, then they must
It must be through the mouths of others. If these people have ulterior motives and deliberately explain things to the people randomly, then I am afraid that the people will not only lose the kindness of the leader, but also think that the teacher is harming them."
When Han Du heard this, he burst into laughter.
After laughing, he pointed at Yang Zirong and said to everyone, "Yang Zirong is right. The purpose of changing the tax system is to avoid such exploitation of the people. But the current situation is just as Yang Zirong said. Now some people are inciting the people and saying that the tax system should be changed."
The tax system will make people pay more taxes, and it will cause people to lose their families. So much so that tens of thousands of people's books were piled in front of the emperor, asking the emperor to issue an edict to change the tax system back.
Why did I call you here today? That is because I want to use your words to tell the people in my hometown that changing the tax system is beneficial to them and is for their sake. To tell the people that they should go to the Wanmin Book and request the emperor.
We will implement the tax system firmly!”
Han Du's deafening voice echoed in the ears of all the students, shocking their hearts and making them feel a rush of blood.
Han Du took a deep breath, bowed to all the students, and asked, "Can you help me with this?"
"Students, wait till you die!" Everyone stood up and bowed in reply.
"Hahaha, okay! Then each of you can go to the academy to collect fifty guan of treasure banknotes, and go back to your hometown as a means of transportation. It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. This time, we will treat it as your study tour." Han Du beat up.
If you wave it, one hundred thousand yuan will be spent.
Fifty gold coins were enough for these students to travel around the Ming Dynasty.
And for Han Du, it was a very cost-effective thing to be able to use one hundred thousand guan to solve those books of all peoples.
"Thank you sir!" Everyone smiled happily when they heard that they could not only study abroad, but also go home to see their parents and old friends, and they didn't have to spend a penny themselves.
Han Du looked at everyone's excitement and couldn't help pouring cold water on them, saying, "Remember, you are on a study tour this time. When you come back, each person will submit ten policy papers, and the content of each paper cannot be repeated."
"ah!!!"
All the students were dumbfounded. They were so happy just now, and now they are so sad! Ten essays, and each one is required to be different. This is simply killing them!
The Academy is different from the Imperial College. Perhaps someone in the Imperial College can write a policy statement that can address the current shortcomings, and that will make the teachers take a high look.
But in the academy, I'm sorry, let's not talk about whether your policy paper is well written or not. Just looking at the topic you chose, I'm afraid it has been written badly by the previous classmates. And it has been written from various angles. If
If you can't find a unique perspective, you can't get out of other people's nests.
Therefore, anyone in college who can write a policy statement with profound insights and unique angles will win the envious eyes of his classmates.
It’s so difficult to write one article, but now my husband’s request is ten!
Han Du looked at the mourning people below and felt a lot better. Even the hundred thousand dollars he spent just now didn't seem to hurt as much as before!
However, regardless of whether the students wanted it or not, they still took fifty guan of treasure notes one by one and embarked on their way home.
At the beginning, most people were still immersed in the pain of ten policy papers. But as they walked out of the capital, their horizons gradually broadened, and homesickness gradually emerged. The sadness on their faces gradually disappeared, and a wave of sadness came from the inside out.
The joy gradually emerged.
Ma Jing was also one of those who returned to his hometown. He had fifty guan of treasure money hidden in his clothes. He was filled with joy as he walked on the cement road. He has been studying in the academy for four years. It's not that he can't become a high school scholar because he has no ability.
But he was so obsessed with everything in the academy that he missed the time for the general examination.
Moreover, his family was not wealthy. Even when he was studying since childhood, he relied on his parents and two uncles to support him. If he relied on his parents alone, they would not be able to support him to become a scholar.
Even after Ma Jing passed the scholar examination, his family's situation could only be said to be a little better, but it did not improve much. After all, although his family's land no longer had to pay taxes, he wanted to pass the imperial examination and the expenses
Naturally it is bigger.
It wasn't until he passed the examination and received support from the court that his family's situation could be considered to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
But as soon as he passed the exam, he went to the capital to study. He could only know about the situation at home through letters from his former classmates, and he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Since it was a study tour and he was motivated by ten policy papers, although Ma Jing was eager to return home, he still had to calm down and walk around along the way, hoping that he would be lucky enough to get inspiration and write a beautiful policy paper.
Therefore, the journey that was originally only less than a month ended up having to be carried out by Ma Jing for a full two months before returning home.
As soon as Ma Jing walked to the village gate, he was immediately recognized by people in the same village.
Ma Jing just stretched out his hand to say hello to the other party, but the other party immediately screamed and then ran towards the village like a wild horse.
While running, he shouted loudly, "Master Juren is back, Master Juren is back."
Ma Jing's arm froze in mid-air, then he smiled helplessly and shook his head, put it down, and continued walking towards the village.
Before Ma Jing could take a few steps, he saw what was originally a peaceful landscape like a landscape.
The village in the painting soon became lively with the screams of "Master Juren is back!"
People from every household opened the door one after another. When they saw that Ma Jing was really back, they came forward to meet and greet him one by one.
Ma Jing had a gentle smile on his face, and after responding one by one, he came to the door of his house.
Looking at his home, which was the same as before, Ma Jing was slightly startled. This was a little different from what he knew!
Before Ma Jing could figure out what was going on, a voice sounded behind him.
"My son! Is it really my son who is back?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Jing immediately turned around, knelt down towards the visitor, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Dad, the baby is back."
Father Ma grinned happily, and quickly stepped forward and caught Ma Jing. He really caught him. Ma Jing was already thin and weak, but after four years of training in the academy, he was not able to
As for being weak, he still has some strength in him. But compared with his father who has worked in the fields all his life, his strength is still weaker.
Without waiting for his father to help him, Ma Jing stood up and asked puzzledly, "Dad, why did you come over there? What happened at home?"
Dad Ma immediately slapped himself on the forehead, laughed loudly and explained, "I forgot to tell you, this is our hometown, your mother and I live in another home."
Ma Jing understood immediately, "Oh, a new yard has been built. I know about this. But since there are new homes, why is this place still there? Why not demolish it?"
"Ouch, we can't demolish this place!" Mr. Ma quickly waved his hand to dismiss Ma Jing's words.
Then he said with a smile, "That's what you can say. If it were someone else, you can't beat him to death! Everyone thinks that the feng shui in our family is good, and the clan is unwilling to damage it at all. And now this place has been destroyed by the clan."
The clansmen in Li Nong have learned it, and they say that because of the cultural background here, they can bless future generations to pass the exam like you."
As he spoke, Father Ma looked Ma Jing up and down, then leaned closer and asked quietly, "By the way, kid, why did you come back quietly this time? No one beat gongs and drums to send you back, right?
Didn't you pass the exam in Beijing?"
He didn't even know what the examination was, and he certainly didn't know what Jinshi was. Although Ma Jing told his father that he was going to the capital to study and get the title of Jinshi. But Ma Jing only heard about these things and then forgot about them.
