49 According to the script

On the third day of Zhang Yue's return, Shenwu Palace, early dynasty.

Yuwen Hu didn't come very late today, he came in after the emperor sat down, and after the hundred officials saluted the emperor and the tomb Zai, Yuwen Hu said directly: "A few days ago, he sent Wuyu Jian to Jingzhou to thoroughly investigate the case of assassinating Shi Ruan Hong's encroachment on people's land, colluding with temples, disregarding people's lives, and robbing people's women, and now there is a reply, a few days ago, the people of Wuyu Prison returned to Chang'an to restore their lives, and brought back the witness evidence, after a few days of surprise interrogation, Ruan Hong's incriminating evidence has been true, and now, the Heavenly Palace should immediately order Ruan Hong's dismissal from all positions, All his family property was confiscated, escorted to Chang'an, and handed over to the three legal divisions for retrial and conviction, what do Your Majesty and you think? ”

The emperor sneered in his heart, what Zhu Xuanzhi said was indeed right, Yuwen Hu will confiscate Ruan Hong's family property and use it for disaster relief, hmph, this giant rat was raised by your son, and now he has fattened and cut the meat, and he has taken the looted people's fat and ointment to pretend to be a good person, it is really shameless! But he had to pretend to say: "Ruan Hong disregards the law of the country like this, the people are really hateful, and they must be punished severely!" ”

"Since Your Majesty has already made a will, let's do what I just said, now that Ruan Hong has been monitored by Wuyu, then the Wuyu Supervisor will go again, Han Sima, you let the Xia Palace give Jingzhou a military order, let the local garrison cooperate with the Wuyu Supervision to raid Ruan Hong's home, all family property will be registered and sealed, and then quickly escort people to Chang'an!"

"Yes, Xia Guan remembered." Sima Han stepped forward to receive the order.

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuwen Hu had just returned to the Jin State Mansion and was followed by his two sons.

"Father, Jingzhou occupies a net location, it is the granary of my Great Zhou's silver warehouse, the stability of this place is very important, after Ruan Hong was investigated, there is no one in charge of Jingzhou for the time being, and my son is afraid that after a long time, unexpected things will happen," the prince said as he walked behind Yuwen Hu.

"What do you think?" Yuwen Hu walked forward by himself, and he already knew what they meant, so he asked very perfunctorily.

When the prince heard his father ask what he meant, he felt a hint of joy in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "My son thinks that it is better to send a capable minister to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou as soon as possible, and by the way, help clear the accumulated evils caused by Ruan Hong in Jingzhou. ”

"Isn't the eldest brother grounded in his studies? Why do you care so much about Jingzhou? Speaking of disadvantages, Ruan Hong has been in office for less than two years, why did he accumulate disadvantages, I remember that Ruan Hong's predecessor Wan Xiang was recommended by the eldest brother, is there no share in the word "disadvantages"? Yu Wenshen immediately cut off the eldest brother's words.

"This son is grounded, but I can still care about national affairs, can't I be virtuous for the country?" Shizi argued, then ignored his younger brother, and continued to say to his father Yuwen Hu: "Father, the child is one person, Governor Gong Shi Wuxu, shrewd and capable, diligent and fair, has been repeatedly awarded, and is a usable talent, just in time to be transferred to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin. ”

"The eldest brother's vision is really poor, then Wu Xu is sleek and sophisticated, left and right, let him and the mud are okay, how to take on the heavy responsibility of assassinating history." Yuwen deeply slapped the eldest brother, and without waiting for the eldest brother to speak, he immediately preemptively said to his father: "Father, about the political situation in Jingzhou, the child has some ideas, I don't know ......."

"Say!" At this time, Yuwen Hu had already come to the Mountain and Sea Palace, sat down in the middle, took a sip of tea, and then closed his eyes, as if he was very impatient.

"Yes." Yu Wenshen took out a book from his arms, opened it and said: "Father, the land of Jingzhou has been the top priority since ancient times, in the late Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms competed for power, could it be that Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, how could Liu Bei fail?" Fortunately, my Chaowen King has been blessed by heaven to sit on such a treasure land, which is really the blessing of my Great Zhou. However, now, the fertile soil of Jingzhou has some shortcomings, and we must make a painful determination to eradicate them. ”

"Oh? Malady? What are the drawbacks? Tell me about it," Yubungo still squinted.

"First of all, Jingzhou north according to the Han Dynasty, Chu, the South China Sea, east of Wuhui, west of Tongba, Shu, such a place in all directions, wartime soldiers must fight, when the time of governance, the most suitable for business, all industries prosperous, therefore, the imperial court ordered to pay the commercial tax of 30%. However, the local government seized the opportunity to set up clever names and extort excessively, causing merchants to sit on heavy taxes and make them miserable, and this kind of self-enriching behavior was the biggest obstacle to curbing the prosperity of commerce. If commerce is not prosperous, how will the imperial court collect taxes, how to govern rivers and provide disaster relief? How can you strengthen the army? ”

"Well, you go on." Yuwen Hu said,

"What I just said is just one of them, and there are more important ones. Up to Yao, Shun, to Wen, Jing, down to Emperor Wei Xiaowen, my Great Zhou Wen King, every Ming lord and virtuous monarch is trying their best to ensure that the people have their land, the people have fields, eat enough, so that they will not rebel, the court can also collect taxes from it, and the Sheji Temple can also be preserved, but the current situation of the people of Jingzhou is: the good land is either in the hands of the scholars, or in the name of the temple, and the people have to bear more than half of the field tax in Jingzhou. Why? According to the system, all the land of the gentry of the gentry of the noble clan is exempt from paying taxes, and the temple is exempt from tax within 100 acres, so that some people send their land to the gentry and temples to avoid taxes, and the yamen in various places have not been able to collect taxes within 100 acres, so as a result, first, the court can collect less and less land tax, the burden of the people is getting heavier and heavier, and more and more land flows into the hands of the temple. Second, more and more people and even the ministers of the imperial family in the DPRK and China have participated, began to build temples, embezzled the people's fields, and oppressed the township and annexed the land with the hands of temples and Taoist temples, and the people were displaced and complained, so that Jingzhou is such a rich place, and the current situation is a little restless, this is now Jingzhou's deep-rooted ills. ”

Yuwen Shen gushed endlessly about the current situation in Jingzhou, but when he was talking, his father still squinted and didn't say a word, but his face was not as impatient as just now. As for the prince, he was suddenly stopped by his younger brother's high-minded talk, and he didn't seem to expect that the second brother would talk about the problem of Jingzhou so much.

"Since you have made Jingzhou's problem so clear, there must be a way to deal with it, let's talk about it together." Yuwen looked at his second son and said.

"Yes, my son does have some absurd ideas, and I ask my father and eldest brother not to make fun of them," Yuwen Shen first modestly took a moment, and then glanced at his eldest brother Yuwenxun with a slight pride, and then said: "According to the current situation in Jingzhou, first of all, local officials at all levels must be strictly ordered not to set up names without permission, and all taxes must be collected in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, and secondly, the bottom of the kettle will be taken to dismantle all the newly built temples in Jingzhou after the first year of Baoding, and the monks must be driven out ......"

"What! Are you crazy? You are going to demolish the temple and drive away the Buddha, and you are going to suffer retribution! As soon as Yu Wenxun heard the suggestion of his second brother, he immediately said in shock,

"Big brother's words are wrong!" Yuwen Shen heard the eldest brother say that he was going to be retributed, and said a little angrily: "Those monks hit the bell and chant the Buddha during the day, spend all day drinking, collude with the government to oppress the people, and do all kinds of evil, they are simply jackals in robes, hungry tigers knocking on wooden fish, where is there a little compassion of Buddhism, when there is a belief in purifying sentient beings, and letting them in the world is simply tarnishing the reputation of the Buddha again." Besides, during the reign of Emperor Tai of the former Wei Dynasty, he was determined to do martial arts, and after the unification of Jiangbei, he thought that Buddhism was a false and illusory thing for the world, and he also issued a decree to destroy it. ”

"Presumptuous!" Yuwen Hu suddenly shouted, and then said to Yuwen Shen: "Huangkou Xiaoer, he is a female and yellow, he claims to be heavenly in vain, and he is bold and reckless!" ”

"Yes, my son doesn't choose what to say, I hope my father is not strange." Yu Wenshen hurriedly said.

"Alright, let's get here today, and you two will go back first." Yuwen Hu said lazily.

When the two saw that their father was angry, they didn't dare to say much, and Shi Li said that he would retire and retreated, and just when he walked to the door, he heard his father say, "Since the writing is sparse, let's stay." ”

Yuwen was overjoyed and immediately said, "Yes." Then he respectfully presented the recital. Then he went out and saw that Shizi was standing not far away and seemed to be waiting for him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is the eldest brother waiting for me?" ”

Yu Wenxun said a little weirdly: "The second brother is really a blockbuster in front of his father today. ”

"It's just a little superficial opinion, and where it is a blockbuster." Yu Wenshen said with a smile.

"The second brother doesn't have to be modest, the remarks of Shicai are really extraordinary, but they are not from you." Shizi had an eerie smile on his face.

"What I said just now must not have come from me, but from my own mouth, didn't my eldest brother hear it?" Yu Wenshen is pinching the words.

"Don't bite and chew words with me, your second brother has been to Taoyuan a lot recently, this is the Zhu Xuanzhi teaching, hehe, it seems that this 'Mr. Denglong' is under the command of the second brother, congratulations, but you also said just now, everything goes according to heaven, what is the will of heaven, none of us can say." After Yu Wenxun finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

In the Shanhai Hall, Yuwen Hu asked while flipping through the notes left by Yuwen Shen just now: "What do you think of this book?" ”

Father-in-law Xiao next to him replied: "The second son's performance is thorough and far-sighted. ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about, I'm asking if you think this is his insight, or was someone else taught him?" Yuwen Hu asked, holding the song in his hand.

"This, the second son has been smart and knowledgeable since he was a child, and it is not surprising that he has such knowledge, but the second son recently went to Taoyuan Lanjun, but he went diligently." Father-in-law Xiao said. ”

"Grace ......".
