"Husband, bacon is peeking at you, why don't you go find bacon tonight?"
"It's not time yet. Didn't you set the time?"
"I want to take a look again..."
Yun Er irritably put his sleeping son into the gauze tent. He checked carefully and found that there were no mosquitoes. Then he turned around and looked at Qin Guodong, whose eyes were shining. "Can't you be a little ambitious? They say
Those things are all yours, why aren't they over yet?
After all, you are from a royal family, and a little money will make you lose your persistence."
Qin Guo smiled and didn't care about Yun Er's words at all. He held Yun Er's waist and got his head out from under his husband's arm and said: "That's not a little money, that's a lot of money, okay? You are my husband, you can get it back."
The money belongs to me, why can I pretend to be noble in front of you?"
Yun Er patted his wife's head lovingly and said bitterly: "It seems that your life in the palace was not well-off before."
"Who told you that being a princess means you are rich? When I was a princess, I saved less than 800 yuan in total. My father has always been frugal. He couldn't bear to take a bite of mutton soup at night. How could he give us a lot of money?
.
It was because of how pitiful my father was about my concubine's mother that he raised my status to a higher level. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to save eight hundred guans.
There are many places where money is spent in the palace. The chamberlains want rewards, the palace maids want rewards, and asking people to buy gifts also costs money. Some sisters with low status even spend money to please those damn eunuchs. Since I promised you this concubine,
There is no need to pay tribute to those chamberlains. Do you think everyone has been held in the hands of elder brothers and sisters since childhood like you?
Man, I really want to take a look again..."
Yun Er sighed, then carried a lantern and accompanied Qin Guo to the warehouse to see the treasures. There seemed to be an innate attraction between women and treasures. No matter how noble her status was, there was no way to take away this nature.
Yunzheng's boat went upstream along the Bian River. Because there was no wind, the entire fleet needed trackers to pull the boat.
Yun Zheng looked thoughtfully at the bare-backed, dark-skinned trackers on the river bank. If they wanted the boat to go up the river, the trackers had to overcome the downward force of the water. Therefore, each of their feet was very solid.
.
The boss of the boat shouted something that others could not understand from the bow. Every time he shouted, the trackers on the shore would respond. This section of the river happened to be at a bend, and the wind from either direction could not catch it, so
This also gave birth to a large number of trackers.
Yun Zheng looked at it for a while and turned back to ask the boat boss: "According to the regulations, there should be mules and horses here to pull the ships. Why are they all pulled by humans? Where are the mules and horses?"
The boss of the ship said in a sincere tone: "To tell you back to the Commander-in-Chief, there is actually no shortage of mules and horses among the officials in this area. The imperial court also sends mules, horses, and cattle here every year..."
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Because of corruption? The local officials here deserve to die!"
The ship boss said quickly: "Commander, you have misunderstood. Shenglong Canal is under the jurisdiction of Cao County. The county magistrate here, Liu Wensheng, is a rare good official. He has a good official reputation and will never be corrupt."
Yun Zheng pointed to the trackers on the shore and said, "Then tell me, the terrain here is flat. Why don't we use mules and horses to pull the boats? We have to use people?"
The boss of the boat smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, you are considerate of the people. I thanked the commander for them. You don't know something. Just because people are used to pull the fibers, it can show that the county here is a good person. If you use oxen and horses to tug the boat,
On the contrary, it makes the people suffer."
Yun Zheng understood the reason after thinking for a moment, and opened his mouth and said: "Could it be that the reason why the county magistrate abandoned the mules and horses of the government and used people exclusively is to give these people a meal?"
The ship boss nodded and said: "What the commander-in-chief said is that since the imperial court began to implement the "Baojia Law", five households will be one Bao, twenty-five households will be one Bao, and two hundred and fifty households will be one Dubao."
All rural areas, including Cao County, are not immune.
This method of protecting armor needs to be reviewed every five days. They are all farmers, and they still need to dig food from the land. How can they find the time to review it every five days, and those who fail to review it once will be treated as privately fleeing, with a sixty cane.
, Plan to make up for it on the day of escape. If you fail to reach the unitary point, you will not go to the teaching review, and you will be allowed to make a small stick test, and you will not be able to pass seventy.
In order to make a living, some people have to destroy themselves to avoid school inspections. One advantage here in Caoxian County is that trackers are also counted according to the day of school inspection. Not only can they earn some copper coins here, but they can also earn ten cents a day.
of salt and vegetable money.
Therefore, the county magistrate gave up the useful mules and horses and used people to pull fiber. Every day the people pulled fiber was counted as a review. If they concentrated their time, as long as they survived for two months, they would be able to go home and farm safely.
.
Therefore, Liu County Zun in Cao County has always been called Liu Bodhisattva."
When Yun Zheng heard that it was the "Bao Jia Law" that had done a good job, he sighed and returned to the cabin. Wang Anshi was becoming more and more proud now. Pang Ji, Han Qi and others were concentrating on preparing for the Northern Expedition. As a political advisor,
Wang Anshi almost single-handedly controlled the operation of the Song Dynasty.
The successful implementation of the "Young Crops Law" and the "Farmland Water Conservancy Law" made him very bold. At the end of last autumn, he launched the "Baojia Law", "Generals Law", "Market Change Law" and "Recruitment Law" in one go
The five new laws of the "Fangtian Tax Equalization Law" were called the "Laws of Heavenly Change" by Tokyo scholars. Since they were first introduced, they have been criticized verbally and written by countless people.
Because the "Fangtian Tax Equalization Law" and "Market Change Law" have seriously violated the interests of scholars.
Once these two laws were rolled out across the country, the hidden properties of all the wealthy people in the Song Dynasty would be exposed to the broad daylight.
Among them, the "Fangtian Tax Equalization Law" is divided into two parts: "square field" and "equal tax". "Fangtian" means that the county magistrate is responsible for measuring the land in September every year, classifying it into five grades according to fertility, and registering it in the account book.
"Equal taxation" is to equalize the tax amount based on the results of "square fields". Anyone who steals the land under false pretenses or conceals the tax on the land must be corrected.
As a result, it would be impossible to continue to conceal some of the hidden properties of the Yun family, and the taxes that would need to be paid every year would at least triple.
The "Market Trade Law" hurt the wealthy merchants of the Song Dynasty. They no longer had the opportunity to hoard, because according to this law, the imperial court would set up a trade service in Tokyo to pay for unsalable goods and sell them when the market was in short supply.
This limits the control of the market by big businessmen, helps stabilize prices and commodity exchanges, and increases the government's fiscal revenue.
It sounded perfect, but it was a pity that he underestimated the resistance of those big businessmen. Since last year, Yun Zheng did not think that Wang Anshi could implement these two laws.
The rest, such as the "Bao Jia Law", "Recruitment Law" and "General War Law", harmed the interests of ordinary people. This method of spreading hatred all over the world made Yun Zheng admire him greatly.
What impressed him even more was that Wang Anshi had braved tremendous pressure and promulgated the reform decree. Yun Zheng had nothing to say about his reckless approach.
After hearing her husband say these things, Lu Qingqing smiled sweetly and said: "It's just a few thousand dollars more. Husband, you don't have to worry about it. Our Yun family is a soft persimmon now, so we can just let others handle it obediently. He
Wang Anshi will always pinch the stone, so you don’t have to worry."
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Ao is not an ordinary person. He is strong when faced with tough situations. The more things others think are impossible, the more energetic he will do them. I'm just worried that if he does this, it will cause party strife against the Northern Expedition."
unfavorable."
Lu Qingqing said nonchalantly: "It's better to start a party dispute. This will delay the Northern Expedition. My second brother's ocean strategy last year was unfavorable. I heard that he suffered some hidden losses. Not only did people like Shi Zhongxin not play a good role
, instead stood by and watched secretly. Where did Sun Sancao, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, get the news that Sulla was about to rebel in The Hague?
Without even thinking about it, he killed someone in the city of Suzhou. Sulla Hague died, leaving no room for his second brother to use his methods.
When we return to Tokyo and continue to increase our investment in the ocean, I don't believe that a capable person like my second brother can do anything about it.
Let them fight and let our family focus on exploring the ocean."
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "You should become a political advisor. It is a good skill to always see things clearly.
Since you said I should be a soft persimmon, I will listen to you and go fishing on the Bian River when I have nothing to do after I go back. I will not listen to what is going on outside the window and only listen to what my wife says."
Lu Qingqing chuckled and said, "Since you listened to me, let me release that poem so that those who are wary of you can rest assured."
""Cold Food in Sichuan" was written by Xiaoshi. Besides, it has been distributed and the effect is pretty good."
Lu Qingqing stood up and rummaged around on the desk, finally found a piece of paper and read softly: "What do you want from the ship to the canopy? I didn't dare to turn over and met my head. I passed through the bustling city with a broken hat and a leaky boat carrying wine.
He looked coldly at a thousand men with raised brows, bowed his head and was willing to be a ruthless ox. He hid in a small building and became one, and took care of winter, summer, spring and autumn."
Look, this poem was written for the occasion, and it’s just the right time to release it.”
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "This poem was not written by me. It was written by a poor Gongsheng named Lu Xun. Don't put everything on your husband."
Lu Qingqing smiled with crooked eyes, pinched Yun Zheng's cheeks affectionately and said, "That's right. Now I know how to keep a low profile. This is the best. You can just say this to others in the future. There is no need to keep a concubine."
Everyone is deceived.
What a wonderful poem. How could a poor man named Lu Xun write such a poem? Don't lie to me again."
Lu Xun could be easily investigated with the power Lu Qingqing currently had in his hands. Yun Zheng had no way of saying that it would take a thousand years for this person to appear, so he had to open his mouth and let her go.
As long as Yun Er knows who Lu Xun is, it is enough. (To be continued)
