Chapter 239: Xungui's Last Chance

Wang Yue was called away by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and for almost two hours before and after, no one knew what Wang Yue saw, but I heard that when he came out, his feet slipped and he almost fell at the noon gate.

Some people also said that Wang Yue fell, fell to his knees with his legs, and was frightened by the royal treasure.

As for what this treasure is, there are different opinions, no one knows what it is, but it can scare Wang Yue out of internal injuries, which shows how powerful it is.

People have to sigh that the royal family is really terrifying.

And at this moment, something even more terrifying is coming, that is, after taking office as the governor of Suncheon, Zheng Gu handed a letter of 10,000 words to the cabinet. A comprehensive explanation of his policy plan.

The core of Zheng Gu is two words: financial management!

Breaking these two words apart means agriculture and commerce.

In agriculture, it is natural to clear the acres of land, expand tax sources, reduce exploitation, and improve people's livelihood.

In business, Zheng Gu believed that the imperial court's commercial tax was already very low, and coupled with the poor implementation, the imperial court's commercial tax was useless. But in reality, the burden on businessmen is not low.

The reason for this situation is that there are too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the powerful clan is exploiting and extorting...... Therefore, in the entire territory of Suncheon, it is necessary to unify taxation, eliminate all excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and abolish local barriers.

For those who extort businessmen and set up tax cards privately, they will be severely punished!

The content of this note is very scary, but even more frightening is to come, the family of the late university scholar Li Dongyang delivered goods to the capital and injured Wang Yue.

The imperial court was furious and sent Fei Hong, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, to investigate the Li family in person.

After searching, a total of nearly 300,000 acres of land and more than 200,000 taels of family property were found. In addition, many books originally stored in Guozijian were also found in Li's house.

Li Dongyang is famous in Confucianism, and he has always liked to collect ancient books, so he got a lot of books from the imperial court to go home, even including rare books in the palace.

There are more than 800 volumes in total.

Fei Hong played according to the facts, and after Zhu Houxi saw it, he was quite angry, and wrote the word Shuo Mouse with a royal pen!

Li Dongyang's nickname was given to the official, and all the mourning and glory were deprived. The Li family was also assigned to Yunnan.

Don't think that if you die a tiger, you will be able to escape the blow, the court will deal with you, you are welcome. After the fall of the Li family, another family of scholars. Xu Youzhen's Xu family, the descendants of the relatives took the initiative to write a book, and were willing to cooperate with the imperial court to clear the acres of land and serve in one piece.

The two once famous pavilion elders all collapsed.

Everyone understands one thing, it is imperative to clear the acres of land, that is, to see if it will fall on their heads.

However, compared with Shilin's worries, the most fearful is the nobles of the capital...... Because Qingzhang started from Suncheon, this knife is about to fall on their heads.

All the noble clan relatives are all panicked, and the big guy is desperately looking for a way, trying to escape the catastrophe. However, it would be wrong to say that all the nobles are like this, after all, Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, is different.

He had already given up everything and was not afraid at all.

On the contrary, he was not afraid, but he was happy!

"Prepare food and drinks for me, and our family should have a drink!"

I can't help but drink it!

If you don't have a drink, I'm sorry for the hard work of so many days.

Guo Xun personally arranged the dishes, and also made a jar of wine that was buried when his eldest son was born.

"I heard that there is a custom in the south, that is, to give birth to a son and bury a jar of wine, and wait for the son to pass the top prize in the exam, and take it out to drink, which is called champion red!"

Young Master Guo blinked his eyes and complained: "Dad, our family is a hereditary Hou Ye, and in another eighteen lifetimes, you won't be able to produce a champion, you are working in vain." ”

Guo Xun snorted coldly: "What kind of nonsense is this? There is only one champion in three years, as if other people can meet it. He stretched out his hand to tear open the cover, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine filled the entire house price.

The three sons all left saliva and stared at it, what a good thing!

Guo Xun smiled, "Ordinary people, when their sons get married, take them out and drink them, the same is called Zhuangyuanhong, it's just auspicious." ”

The eldest son stopped when he heard this, "Dad, your grandson is running all over the ground, how did you take it out, did you forget your son?" ”

"Phew!"

Guo Xun snorted angrily at him, "With your virtue, drinking horse urine is almost the same, drinking this, it's a waste of things!" Saying that, he picked up the wine jar, went to his daughter, cautiously, poured a glass of wine for his daughter, and then said with a smile: "Girl, you taste it." ”

Miss Guo nodded, raised her glass, and took a sip.

"It's indeed a good wine, better than the imperial wine in the palace!"

"Hahaha!" Guo Xun laughed, "The things in this palace are like that, if those eunuchs join forces to give the emperor well water, if it is not the best wine in the world, the Son of Heaven can only drink it, and there is no way to drink it!" ”

Guo Xun sighed, looked at his three sons, and then at his own girl, and said meaningfully: "At any time, someone must help you, especially a family, and you must hug them as a group." Girl...... You are smarter, better than your father, in the past few months, our Guo family has come back to life, you are the first credit! Dad is here, thank you! ”

Guo Xun stood up and wanted to give a salute, and the three boys also hurriedly stood up and saluted his sister.

"Dad, three brothers, don't be like this, let people see it, and think that your daughter has become the empress! Shame on you! Miss Guo's face turned red, and the four of them let out a hearty laugh.

Guo Xun said: "Girl, our family, our hearts must be united." What is the court going to do next, can you see it? How should our Guo family deal with it? Do you have a fixed opinion? ”

Guo Xun asked, and at the same time said to his three sons: "You all listen carefully, whatever your sister commands, you must listen honestly...... Whether our Guo family can prosper or not depends on him. ”

The four fathers and sons all set their eyes on the girl.

It made Miss Guo quite stressed.

She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and then said, "Dad, let my daughter say something that is not good...... Although our house was copied first, it was also a good thing, we went one step ahead of everyone else. ”

Guo Xun pondered for a moment and thought deeply.

"That's right! I can see that the Son of Heaven wants to clean up the acres of land and rectify the commercial tax, and its practical intention is to take care of small farmers, develop industry and commerce, and fill the land with commercial tax, not blindly grab money! ”

Miss Guo showed a look of surprise, it seems that her father's progress has been rapid in the past few months, which is really gratifying.

"Dad, Wang Yue bought Xishan, he is a person with deep thoughts, grass snakes and gray lines, and is extremely good at layout. It is impossible to spend so much money just to support Zheng Gu, his intention is to run Xishan and make a fortune with it! He can invest 500,000 taels, and what he is plotting is 5 million taels behind him, 50 million taels! ”

Guo Xun's old face is blue, if you want to talk about Wang Yue, he really hates.

robbed so much of their family's land and property, and took away all the family funds accumulated by generations. But from another angle, he admires Wang Yue very much, after all, in business, except for his daughter, he is very good, anyway, in the eyes of his father, his daughter is always the first person who deserves it, and no one can shake it.

"Girl, what do you mean, are we going to cooperate with Wang Yue? Share? ”

Miss Guo nodded, "At the moment, other nobles may still hesitate, they are unwilling to give up the land and accept Qingzhang...... It's just that the meaning of the Son of Heaven is so clear, and against the Son of Heaven, it is a dead end. Now those people in the court, all of them are fierce, and they are not easy to mess with. ”

The Guo family immediately nodded, that's right, don't talk about Wang Yue, even Zheng Gu, who has just taken office, after the layout of taxation, it is also a thunderbolt method, who dares to evade taxes, you are not welcome.

"Dad, since we jumped out, we don't have to be like them, my daughter suggested, let's take out all the money we have earned during this time, and then borrow a sum to raise funds, and bet all on the West Mountain!"

Guo Xun's eyes rolled wildly, and he fell into deep thought.

Not to mention his previous enmity with Wang Yue, this step alone means that the Guo family will completely get rid of the land in the future and have to change their way of living.

"Scholars are heirlooms of cultivation and reading, and martial artists are heirlooms of cultivation and warfare, all of which are inseparable from the land, but we have to do business...... That's good! The Guo family will not be worse than others in anything! ”

Guo Xun groaned: "Girl, how much money can our family come up with?" ”

Miss Guo hesitated slightly, and stretched out a finger, "One million taels!" If it's not enough, you can borrow another million taels! ”

Guo Xun was suddenly stunned, wasn't their house ransacked? When will there be so much money?
