"Sage, the concubine's words are a little offensive, and I ask the sage to forgive me. This Kyushu Wanfang is the world of the saint, and no one can stop what the saint wants to do. The saints were born shepherds, not to be labored by them. As long as the saint thinks it is right, he can do it, so why bother with the officials? ”

When the sage heard this, although he felt happy in his heart, he felt that something was wrong, and asked Concubine Xian, "But the people of the Diguan Mansion and the Winter Official Mansion are reasonable, and this matter is related to the foundation of the country, and it cannot be acted lightly. ”

"Saints, their reasoning is only to assume the future, not the present, saints, you might as well ask them whether they will cause a catastrophe in these years. And the saint, the concubine said something unpleasant, how can there be a perfect system in this world, this court has set a rule, you can only manage for a while, not for a lifetime, the saint your descendants, naturally have to change according to the times, if you stick to the rules, even if the saint wants more, this rule will not work. Let's just say that this ancient system, in the three generations, there were no counties, naturally there was no prefect, and the imperial court was not to be established. The restoration of the ancient system should also be added according to the times. ”

When the sage heard Concubine Xian's words, he said to Concubine Xian: "What you said is right, Yuan Huang, I don't know when you will be able to recover and help me deal with government affairs." ”

"Please forgive the saint, the concubine will not come out until next year at the latest, I hope the saint will forgive."

The sage said that it was okay, and when he left here, he looked at the Arhat statue in the room and said to Concubine Xian, "This is sent by Yuanfeng." ”

"Yes."

"I'll wait for your mother and son to come out and then I'll give you gifts."

The saint said, get out of here.

The next morning, the sage asked the officials of the Liuguan Mansion if there was anything wrong with their current implementation.

Everyone thought that there was nothing, but seeing that the saint insisted on doing so, they all said that there was no problem for the time being, and what problems would be encountered would need to wait until it was thoroughly implemented.

When the saint saw them regressing, he also told them to let them get it, and if there was any problem, they could tell them.

After this holy decree was issued, there was naturally a lot of discussion among the people, and the landlords, who originally raised many tenant farmers in their families, began to find connections to appeal against this unfairness.

They said that it was already difficult for them to support tenant farmers, and now they had to help tenant farmers pay taxes, which was not a kind of farmer, but to support their ancestors.

In addition, they also said that because of Emperor Wen's order, these tenant farmers are now lazy and unwilling to contribute.

The saint made only one decree about this.

"If you act with kindness and righteousness, how can you not do anything? The light is insulting, the heavy is beating, such as treating domestic animals, if you want to make people do their best, how can you get it? ”

After this holy decree was issued, the saint no longer cared, he didn't care what these landlords thought, what he needed was to see the reaction of the people.

For a family of five, this Ding Yin is not much, but for those with less land and more people, it is not good.

Soon, officials reacted that there were too many mountains in many places, and no grain was produced at all, and only a hundred catties of grain could be harvested per acre of land, or even lower, hoping that the sage would change.

The saints did not want to be like this everywhere, and finally there was an edict that if the grain production was not enough, it could be offset with other items. As for what items, the local officials reported them to the imperial court, and then the local government consulted them in detail, and finally went to the imperial court.

By the sixth year of Zhaoning, everything was almost discussed, and all localities began to implement it.

Because the land in the four prefectures of Hezuo is fertile, in strict accordance with the original regulations, places such as Xiangyun Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion have been slightly lightened.

After the calculation of the officials of the Taifu, according to the new tax, then the imperial court can enter 50 million taels of silver a year, of which 20 million can be transferred to the four prefectures.

The sage was very satisfied with this result, but the big family was somewhat unhappy, and the prince of China was fine, and there were pardoners, and the princes of the prince of the country had a group of Qing guests, who used to eat and live together, but now they have to pay Ding Yin.

In addition to Dingke, there are also many families, which is also a lot of money.

Some princes' original land was exempt from tax, but now that Ding Yin has been counted on them, it is like taxing them, and they are naturally unwilling.

These princes began to put on the table, hoping that the imperial court would exempt them from Ding Yin, at least give them a quota.

In February of the sixth year of Zhaoning, the sage also issued a relative order, the marquis was exempted from 300 people, the earl was exempted from 100, the viscount was exempted from 50, and the baron was exempted from 30.

Correspondingly, the sage also issued an edict, if there are princes who conceal ten people, the title will be demoted, and the hundred people will be concealed, and the lord will be removed.

Of course, the princes are still dissatisfied, and a few princes will give them all sin papers in the end, and let them obediently shut up.

In addition, the sage asked the princes to send personnel to conduct a thorough survey of the population in their respective provinces.

Anyone who conceals information will be dismissed from office.

The sage's meaning is clear: anyone who prevents himself from reforming the tax system will not be forgiven.

On February 26, the examination began.

On the first day of the first month of March, the palace examination was held.

The topic of the temple examination is about this tax reform, and I hope that all students will answer it.

After this temple was sent to the Hanlin Academy, after Hanlin and others reviewed it, one of them was taken out.

These examiners looked at it, and then one of them said: "Wu Zhaokong's scroll is here now, I don't know why you chose another scroll as the champion." ”

"Lao Zheng, you take a look at this volume first."

This Lao Zheng looked at the scroll, looked at it carefully, and said: "This is a folded gold body, is there a person from the royal family participating in the imperial examination this time?" ”

"I don't know, even if it's not a royal family, it should be a lot of money."

Lao Zheng thought about it, and finally said: "Then there is only one way to put Wu Zhaokong's scroll behind this, it's a pity." ”

The officials nodded, and then took out the three tripod armors they had selected and handed them to the saints.

The sage was reviewing the chapter in the Qinzheng Pavilion, and when he saw Da Simin coming in with the examination papers, he said to Da Simin: "These three tripod armors have been determined? ”

"Please also ask the saint to judge, the ministers don't dare."

The sage opened the first exam paper, saw the handwriting on it, was silent for a moment, and said to Da Simin: "This time, there are members of the royal family who have entered the exam?" According to age, only Yaohuai is old. ”

"This minister didn't cut off the name, I don't know who it is."

"It seems that you and those people can't hold the idea, but this writing is in line with my idea, ruling the world together, and changing the country into lawlessness. Although it is a cliché, what he said in this article is very transparent, so choose him as the champion. ”

The sage took apart the name, opened it and saw that it was Liu Xin, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Sure enough, it's this kid, good." ”

The sage opened the second article and said, "This article is good, but it always says something beautiful, and it seems to be a little less popular." ”

"Sage, this person is from the capital, surnamed Wu."

"So that's the case, you examiners, the court has repeatedly ordered that favoritism and malpractice are not allowed."

The sage smiled and said, the Yu Dynasty does not attach importance to the imperial examination, and it is not as strict as the previous dynasty in the imperial examination, for this situation, it is basically to turn a blind eye, the sage looked at it and said: "For the sake of his Lao Tzu's face, just give him an example." ”

When the saint was about to read the third volume, an official sent him a list of exams, and a name was outlined.

When the sage saw that this name was Yu Daxing, he couldn't help but smile and said to the official: "This name is pleasing, but let's take a look at the name of Tanhualang you chose first." ”

After reading it, the sage said to the official: "The list is still this one, there is no need to change it." ”

However, when the saint opened the seal and saw the name Cao Fu, he felt that it was not very good, and said to the official: "Transfer Yu Daxing's volume." ”

Seeing that the top three were almost decided, the people of Hanlin Academy also opened the seal and sent Yu Daxing's scroll over.

After the sage saw it, he said to Da Simin: "Let Yu Daxing be the role model." ”

The sage decided on the noun and said to Da Simin: "After the second class, there should not be too many children of the family, they already have the way of inspection, why bother to come to the imperial examination to rob other people's jobs." ”、

The Great Priest said yes, and then went to promulgate it.

After Liu Xin won the news of the champion, the good news official came to tell him, and everyone in the Guozijian said hello to Liu Xin.

That night, Guozijian raised money and prepared a banquet for Liu Xin.

On the third day of the first month of March, a banquet was held in the Luming Palace.

At the end of the feast, the saints also announced their official positions. Liu Xin is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Wu Zhaokong and Yu Daxing are the edicts of the Hanlin Academy.

The others will either enter the Hanlin Academy, or they will not be sent to the place.

After the banquet, Liu Xin went to Guozijian to pack his things, and now he has a separate residence, so he no longer needs to live in Guozijian.

When moving things, Liu Xin saw Jiang Xingchu, and Jiang Xingchu said to Liu Xin: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, Miss Jiang, you're here again."

These days, Jiang Xingchu often came to Liu Xin, and Liu Xin saw that Jiang Xingchu only regarded him as a friend, and he didn't have the initial restraint.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you this time."

"Ah, Miss Jiang, are you leaving?"

"Well, it's Sister Yin, she's leaving."

Liu Xin was a little reluctant and asked Miss Jiang, where are they going?

"Go to Haining Mansion, in fact, it's good to leave this time, and my sister's affairs are also settled."

Miss Yin went to Chu Yuanfeng again, and told Jiang Xingchu about the matter, although Jiang Xingchu felt sorry for what happened to Miss Yin, but there was nothing she could do, this door was high, and Miss Yin was unwilling to share her lover with others, so there was no other way than to cut it off.

After that day's conversation, Chen Zhiqi was very courteous, Miss Yin refused at first, she thought that Chen Zhiqi was also a son, and he was also a famous and decent disciple, and it was impossible for him to have a result.

Chen Zhiqi told Miss Yin that she was a concubine, and she was not a son, and there were no family requirements for marrying a wife.
