In June, the white clouds of Kyoshi floated, and the faint sunlight peeked out of the clouds, shining through the shadows of the trees, and dancing on the ground like broken gold spots.

It's a great day!

This kind of weather is very suitable for reading while enjoying tea, but for the editors and officials in the Hanlin Academy, the heat and dryness that follow people are even more restless, and it is difficult to calm down.

Most of the time passed, and the deadline was getting closer and closer, and the review hall where the new Hanlin officials were waiting was no longer the same, and the usual precious and rare classics and files were placed everywhere, and the young officials who were gentle and elegant were also tangled in their hair, and their faces were full of bitterness.

Only Lu Shuo is leisurely and calm, much calmer than others, and always maintains the gentle and windy bearing of the family.

Reading is a pleasure, especially for Lu Shuo.

Although the books related to taxation are messy and trivial, and there are many difficult and obscure words and phrases in them, Lu Shuo finds unusual fun in them.

These are the painstaking efforts of the predecessors, and many books cannot be found on the market at all, and only the officials in the Hanlin Academy are qualified to read them.

Lu Shuo has been reading for the past five or six days, and he has already been immersed in it, and before he knows it, he has read and understood the mountain-like bibliography of the case.

Only then did he begin to compile it in detail.

Unlike other officials' methods of reading and editing, Lu Shuo read all the materials to be referred to at once, and he was more comfortable compiling.

The other Hanlin became more and more difficult the later they came, but Lu Shuo became clearer and clearer in the end, what to do and what to do, and he divided them very clearly.

However, due to the large range of articles he wanted to compile, and the lack of time left for this compilation, what was almost finished was what the finished product was what it was.

This is the first time that Lu Shuo has completed a big task independently in the Hanlin Academy, and it is also a good opportunity to become an official and become a knight, and then he was inspired by the trouble a few days ago, Lu Shuo worked up twelve points of energy, and silently thought in his heart that he would definitely make some achievements this time.

The day passed quickly, the sky gradually darkened, the twilight was deep, and the lights of the Hanlin Courtyard were like beans, and the same was true of Lu Shuo's case.

Unlike other Hanlin officials who had to stay in order to submit the task on time, Lu Shuo was not short on time if he wanted to complete the task. But he didn't want to interrupt his train of thought halfway, so he was ready to finish the unfinished article at hand overnight.

According to Lu Shuo's instructions, Li Yan sent a servant to deliver the letter to Lu Shuo's house, and then bought food and came back, serving Lu Shuo wholeheartedly.

Lu Shuo hurriedly ate a few bites, then knelt down on the desk to continue the process just now, a handsome face was illuminated by the light like a carving, and the shadow of the lamp was even more serious.

The other editors didn't have Lu Shuo's concentration to stop the water, and couldn't help but complain.

"Transcribe the entries of the classics, indicate the source of the article, and you can transcribe it by just one of the scribes, why use me to ......"

"I have been studying hard for more than 20 years, and I thought that I had won the scenery of Hanlin, but I wanted to come here to repair my books......"

"Yes, my parents thought that when I entered the Hanlin Academy, I could serve in front of the emperor and meet the saint at any time, which was the most noble place, but I didn't think that although I was a Hanlin, I was no different from a copyist......"

"Let's stay up first, Hanlin, it's a qualification...... After a year or two, it will naturally come out, and it has survived the cold window for decades, and it is the same now......"

How can it be the same?

Hearing this, many Hanlin officials glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Suffering for the imperial examination, there is a goal to get ahead!

Although Master Zhang had promised to give everyone a promotion if he was satisfied, they originally had such an idea, but after a few days, their enthusiasm had been completely dispelled.

The matter of editing is really not a simple matter, and the thick classics alone are enough to make people daunted, let alone find new and inerrant points of view from them, which is even more difficult.

No matter how they gossip, Lu Shuo is as immobile as a mountain, and so are Zhou Mao and Sun Zhe.

Zhou Mao, like Lu Shuo, was immersed in it, and he didn't have time to care about what the Hanlin officials were saying.

Sun Zhe kept Lu Yun's words in mind.

There are many mistakes in officialdom, and many times an unimportant sentence is unintentional and intentional, if someone writes it down and stabs you in the back, there is no place to reason.

After the confrontation between Lu Shuo and He Qingyun happened that day, the reactions of various Hanlin made Sun Zhe even more firm in this idea.

Time ran out little by little, and soon there were three bangs outside, and Lu Shuo looked up at the hourglass in the center, and it was almost time.

At this time, the curfew time had passed, and people were prohibited from moving around on the street, and the Lu Mansion could not go back, so he had to rest in the Hanlin Courtyard for the time being.

At this time, Lu Shuo had the energy to look up at his colleagues, and found that none of them had left, some were still writing at their desks, and some had fallen asleep with their voices flowing.

Lu Shuo looked at the books under his hand, they were almost written, he packed up his things and put them away, and he also slept in the Hanlin Courtyard with his clothes.

The thunderous snoring sound sounded in his ears, Lu Shuo didn't sleep well this night, not to mention that someone stayed up all night, with He Qingyun as a typical example, he seemed to be more energetic than Lu Shuo, he didn't sleep all night to read, the lights were on, and Lu Shuo was extremely uncomfortable.

When I got up in the morning, I was dazed, my eyes couldn't open, I put a handful of cold water on my face to feel better, and I used a cup of ginseng tea to refresh myself, and Lu Shuo was alive again.

Lu Shuo hurriedly ate his meal, and then continued his unfinished work yesterday.

There are a total of 17 regulations on "taxation", Lu Shuo inquired about the information and revised these regulations, and added another 12 regulations, a total of 29 regulations, and now he has completed 21 regulations, only the last eight.

These eight are the most troublesome.

Lu Shuo looked at the tax system of this dynasty, basically following the Tang system, and Emperor Taizu, who had always liked and was good at innovation, was extremely stubborn in this matter and did not dare to easily disturb the tax rules.

After carefully reading the most primitive regulations on taxation in the "Great Qi Codex Law", Lu Shuo understood Emperor Taizu very well.

Taxation concerns every household, and whether you are a tenant farmer with nothing or a powerful landlord who owns 10,000 acres of fertile land, you must face the problem of taxation.

Soon after the change of dynasties, some old habits are difficult to change immediately, and since the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, whether it is the common people or courtiers, and even the high-ranking Emperor Taizu, they must be subject to this rule.

It can be said that unless you are a fool with a bad brain, you will ignore this set of rules and act according to your own will, otherwise you must learn to find a balance between the interests of all parties.
