Changping City, the political hall of the state of Chu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chu foreign palace is the place where the emperor deals with political affairs, from the imperial study, the northeast direction is paved with bluestone to pave a road that is more than one person wide, the tall privet tree is planted all over the way, the place where the shadow of the tree is sparse, a pavilion with a simple style is the political hall.

At this time, it is the flowering period of Jingzhao peony, and in front of this political hall, Wei Zikai is enthusiastic, bringing out a bit of wealth in the world.

"Sage, Feng Tingshi is here." Liu Yuan stood on the corridor in front of the hall, bowed slightly, and at a glance, the emperor sat on the top, and the powerful ministers of the empire sat on his left and right in turn.

"Xuan." Naranrui's voice came, and it was soft, with a faint smile. Liu Yuan smiled at Feng Ren, raised the bamboo curtain, and led him into slowly.

"Minister, Feng Ren knocks on the saint." Feng Ren lowered his eyebrows and slowly bowed down in front of the bookcase in front of the hall, the crimson official robe with wide sleeves spread out on the bamboo-colored floor of the hall with the action of bowing.

"Flat." Nalan Rui's voice was smiling, and he was gentle and elegant, "Give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Feng Ren got up, the corner of his eye slowly swept over the people in this hall. Naranrui knelt in the middle of the front of the hall, and he had four seats on his left and right. Su Jin was on the left, and Zheng Duo, Shen Duan, and Qiao Anting were lined up on his side; Xuan Ang was on the right, and beside him sat Xiao Yu, Wang Yu, and Taifu Xie Wei.

Obviously, the most powerful people in the Chu State are all in this political hall at this time. On the floor of the hall, the shadow of the privet tree, illuminated by the sunlight, was swaying.

Liu Yuan set up a seat for Feng Ren in front of the shadow of the privet tree, and Feng Ren sat in the hall, the afternoon sun shining on his shoulders.

"Feng Ren, do you know why I summoned you to Beijing this time?" Nalan Rui, who was dressed in a dark blue suit, had a warm smile on his lips, and he was only powerful, but it was impossible to ignore.

"The minister dares to speculate." Feng Ren bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty wants to take Yongzhou as the first and take it first." ”

Nalan Rui smiled, but turned his head and said to Su Jin on the left: "An Guogong did recommend a person who understands me. ”

"I don't dare." Su Jin also smiled slightly, slowly turned around, and looked at Feng Ren in the hall. When Feng Ren touched his gaze, he bowed his head slightly rather respectfully, and did not look at him.

Shen Duan snorted coldly and said, "Since Lord Assassin Shi knows that the imperial court has the determination to conceal it, he must also have his own regulations, so why not take this opportunity to talk to us?" ”

Zheng Duo's gaze crossed Shen Duan's face, sighed, and fell back to Feng Ren in the hall. Feng Ren bowed slightly in the direction of Shen Duan, and then said to Nalan Rui, "Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Ren smiled slightly, his humble posture was also elegant, "The minister thinks that it is not easy to rush the matter of bracketing. The implications are wide-ranging, and complete preparation is required. Before bracketing, His Majesty needs to clear up. ”

"Qingyin?" Nalan Rui smiled slightly and said, "Go on." ”

"The minister thought that all the land under the jurisdiction of the prefecture and county should be registered first. But without asking the master, only record all the land available for cultivation in the state and county, calculate the size of the land, and compare it with the roster of the state and county to ascend the throne, and you can know what is hidden land. ”

"If the rich and powerful have hidden fields, how can it be so easy for you to make accounting records?" Xuan Ang frowned and said, "Feng Tingshi has thought that even if he does this land booklet, it will be extremely time-consuming to compare it with the roster. ”

"Master Xuan's grace." Feng Ren nodded and said, "It is naturally difficult to make a book, but it is also difficult to conceal it. There is no other way but to rise to the challenge. As for comparison with the roster, in fact, the actual operation does not necessarily have to be done separately from the register. When the book is recorded, the land of the ordinary peasant can also be registered. After all, those who have hidden fields are all rich and powerful, and the general location of the fields can be roughly thought by asking the local people. ”

"Since it comes to this roster, I also want to ask, who will record this roster, is it the state and county itself, or is it someone else?" Zheng Duo nodded and asked again.

"Lord Zheng." Feng Ren showed a wry smile on his lips, "I won't tell you that the matter of Yintian also involves the rule of officials. The records of the roster are naturally based on the state and county, but the following situation is also very complicated, and it needs to be supervised by the imperial court. ”

As for how complicated the following situation is, Feng Ren said it quite vaguely. But everyone here is clear. Assassin Shi Zhizhou, how do they not know the situation of the hidden fields in the states and counties under their jurisdiction, but most of them choose to turn a blind eye, and it is difficult to guarantee whether they will do anything when making the roster.

"Sent by the imperial court?" Shen Duan snorted again, "Where is there so much manpower in the household department?" ”

Su Jin has been squinting slightly since Feng Ren opened his mouth, observing him carefully, and the corner of his eye is still looking at Nalan Rui. Nalan Rui heard Shen Duan's words, and his face sank a little for a while, and it was the elegant smile, which was also faint, obviously because he was very displeased by him several times.

Shen Duan was the most fierce opponent of the Kuyin in the family, and he was also the secretary of the household department, so the matter of Kuyin naturally had to be implemented by the household department, and his support was indispensable.

Shen Duan is also a very smart person, seeing that Nalan Rui has changed his previous gentle style in this matter, and has shown an imperative posture, he has no choice but to take advantage of the situation. But he seemed to be deliberate, and vaguely revealed his reluctance, although it was not written on his face, but Nalanrui didn't know.

Su Jin gave a look to Qiao Anting, who was next. Qiao Anting really didn't have much involvement in this matter, and he also looked like he was watching a good show, but he was stunned when he received Su Jin's eyes, but he also smiled slightly and nodded.

Qiao Anting is in this crowd, in fact, the weight of his words is not heavy. In terms of age, he is only twenty-six years old, two generations younger than Su Jin, and Wang Yu, who can be regarded as his equal, is now thirty-five years old.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a few words to say." Qiao Anting sighed, but he still smiled slightly, looking at Nalan Rui.

Nalan Rui was taken aback by him, and his mood was a little more relaxed, so he also smiled and said, "Anting, it's okay for you to talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, in recent days, there has indeed been a lot of discussion in the capital about the matter of Kuoyin." Qiao Anting nodded and looked around at everyone in the hall, "The students of Bailu Academy also made a special trip to invite me over the day before yesterday, which is to open the altar and argue about this matter. However, a student said that the envoy was quite impressed. ”

"Oh? But what was said? ”

He mentioned that the matter of bracketing and concealment should not be spread out across the country at the same time, and should be done in turn by each state and county. There are pioneers and latecomers. It seems to be Yongzhou and the four states of the Central Plains, close to Gyeonggi, which is easy to control. Qingyuan is the hometown of Longxing, which can be postponed. As for Longxi, the situation is more complicated, and it is not advisable to be in a hurry. ”

"The minister thinks that if it is spread out layer by layer, it will not be a problem for the people to say it."

"What An Ting said is very reasonable." Nalan Rui nodded, "Rolling it out layer by layer, although it takes a little longer, but it does have visible results." The imperial court can also assign inspectors to follow this matter personally, so there is less possibility of fishing in troubled waters. ”

"Master Qiao may tell us and others, who is this scholar?" Wang Yu smiled slightly and said the first sentence of the day. (To be continued.) )
