Chapter 15 The New Deal for Acres of Fields
Zhao Liang didn't expect that the death of Chang Shen could have such a turn, looking at the embarrassed expressions on the faces of Chang Yu and Shen Zuolan on the other side, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said: "Shen Hou, if you ask Dr. Zuolan to send someone to investigate this matter, wouldn't that be the same as not being able to do it?" In the end, the common people can only die in vain, while some families still make a fortune! ”
Shen Hou, Shen Zuolan, and Chang Yu were all stunned when they heard this, especially Shen Zuolan's face was not good, and there was an angry look between his eyebrows. In an instant, Shenhou reacted, and quickly nodded: "The imperial envoy's lesson makes sense!" This matter must not be taken lightly. Since it coincides with the imperial envoy inspecting this place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it is necessary to ask the Lord to send an agent to accompany him to participate in the thorough investigation of this case. Whoever is guilty will not be tolerated once it is verified! ”
As soon as Zhao Liang heard what the other party said, he immediately felt that his head was as big as a fight. Originally, he just imitated Shen Zuolan's tone just now, and sent him back to mock this young and vigorous middle doctor. But he didn't expect Shenhou to be wrong, and thought that he was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect Shenguo and investigate the case in a justifiable manner, so as to get away with the crime. Forced by the situation, Shenhou will have this proposal.
But how can Zhao Liang have such idle time? The only thing he was looking forward to was that he would go home tomorrow, not to mention going to Rong County to investigate the case, and he didn't even want to go to Cangyan City!
So, Zhao Liang first signaled to get up and sit back, and then said without embarrassment: "Shenhou, you misunderstood." The official has no interest in the matter of the ginseng. Everybody's busy, so I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Tomorrow, hurry up and take a walk around Cangyan City, and we will be ready to go back to Hojing. ”
"Huh?!" Shen Hou and Bao Fu snorted softly in unison, and the expressions on their faces were as if they had seen a three-legged toad dancing in a neon dress.
Zhao Liang grinned, pretending to be calm and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Of course not!" Shenhou and Baofu spoke in unison, but this time Baofu did not dare to continue to speak, but only listened to Shenhou solemnly say: "The inspection of the Son of Heaven is to respect the king and receive." Since the arrival of the imperial envoys of the Son of Heaven in the vassal states, they first entered the palace to summon them, and the princes and princes below the doctors, secretaries, scholars, and commanders and generals were required to bathe and change their clothes and listen respectfully. After the edict was announced, the princes held a state banquet to welcome the envoy of the Son of Heaven. The princes of the major sects feasted for five days, and the princes of the small sects feasted for three days. The day after the feast, the real inspection began. The first step is to check the household registers, civil registers, pawns and other general documents in the princes' mansions for inspection. After that, it was to inspect the two warehouses of national grain and armament, count the materials in the warehouse, and verify the number of reports to the royal family over the years. After these trivial matters were taken care of, the envoy began to inspect the cities with a population of more than 3,000 households within the borders of the vassal states to check whether the beacons were complete and whether the city defenses were beyond the control. Next, I will summon the old people in the township to find out the people's customs and people's feelings......"
Zhao Liang almost stuck out his tongue when he heard this: "If you finish it like this, it won't take ten days and half a month?" ”
Shenhou shook his head suspiciously: "Ten days and a half months? The envoy laughed. It will take at least two months to inspect the princes of our Shen Kingdom. ”
Zhao Liang instantly felt cold in his heart. Don't say it's two months, it's two weeks, and he's going crazy. Now Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya have not replied to the message, and the task of capturing the traverser is not even a word, and if it continues like this, Director Tu will have to run over and pick his skin in person!
Just when Zhao Liang was thinking about it in his heart, Shen Zuolan interjected sympathetically on the side: "Yili, the Son of Heaven inspects the princes, often once every three years. Last year, the fake Zai Xu Huanliang had just come to Shen Guo on the order of the king, and he tossed for three months before leaving. In less than a year, the dignity of the general has been here again, what is the reason for this? ”
Zhao Liangxin said: Do you think Lao Tzu wants to come? Isn't it because I'm worried that you'll rebel?
Shenhou was afraid that Zhao Liang would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly played a round: "Zuo Lan is abrupt, how can he talk to the imperial envoy like this." The king's attention to the Shen Kingdom is a blessing for our subjects, how can there be too much reason? ”
Shen Zuolan was obviously not convinced, and still said to Zhao Liang unrelentingly: "Soon after the imperial envoy left last year, the news of the queen's deposition came from Hojing, and then my poor cousin died in the palace. What exactly did she do wrong? How could it end up like this? ”
Chang Yu on the other side snorted coldly: "The crown prince Ji Yijiu was also deposed for no reason. His mother's death was not clear, and his eldest son of a dignified royal family didn't even dare to avenge his grievances, so he had to escape from Hojing overnight and hide here for a while, which is really unreasonable! ”
Shenhou originally planned to stop the two subordinates from attacking the representative of the Son of Heaven, but when he heard them mention his daughter's misfortune, and then thought about the pitiful situation of his grandson who was in fear all day, he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and sighed and didn't speak again.
It's very ugly to talk about it at this point. Zhao Liang is okay, he is a modern person after all, whether it is this history or his loyalty to Zhou Tianzi, the feeling is not very deep. And Zheng Ni has always been working at the border before, and it doesn't have much to do with the court infighting of the Great Zhou, so except for feeling that there is nothing to say, it is not too difficult. But the fat general next to him was in a very different situation. Anyway, as Bao Xi's cousin, Bao Fu deeply felt that he was on pins and needles at the moment, he didn't dare to defend and refute, and he was unwilling to pretend to be stupid and acquiesce, and he kept wiping his sweat.
Among the six people in the room, it is the most detached identity. He saw that Zhao Liang and Bao Fu couldn't speak for a while, so he smiled and said, "Doctor Shen, according to you, why are we here to inspect?" ”
Shen Zuolan glanced at Zhao Liang with disdain, then turned his gaze to Zhao Liang, and said word by word: "Presumably because the king loves the new queen and wants to promote the new policy, he is afraid that we, the lonely people in the mountains and wilderness, will be dissatisfied, so I asked the general to see if there would be any chaos." ”
He showed a "just waiting for you to say that" expression, and clapped his hands happily without speaking.
Shen Hou was shocked when he heard this, and immediately reacted from his sad state of mind, and reprimanded loudly: "Zuo Lan is presumptuous! How dare you say such a big rebellion?! Aren't you afraid of the king Tianwei! ”
Immediately afterwards, he turned to Zhao Liang and the others, bowed his hand and said, "Please forgive the imperial envoy!" I, the Shen family, am the founding martyr of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I have never had the slightest disobedience to the Son of Heaven and the royal family. Although we are princes with foreign surnames, we are no less favored than our relatives with the surname Ji. There has always been a saying among the people that 'Lu Yiyun, Shen Yidian, and Yundian Twins', which is to describe the experience of our Shen ancestors and Lu Shang, the pilgrimage minister, working together to protect the Great Zhou. Although the king deposed Empress Shen's throne, the old man never had any resentment against it, and even if my poor Aya'er later abandoned the world, she could only blame her own bad life. But no matter what, the old man and Shen Guo would never dare to rebel against the royal power. ”
Shen Hou's words were sincere, and there was no trace of falsification, especially when he spoke of the last two sentences, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Zhao Liang was studying at the police university, and he had learned the basic knowledge of pre-trial, although he could not reach the terrifying realm of Tu Sihai's mind-reading skills, he also knew some skills to distinguish the truth from the false. According to his observations, Shenhou's statement was sincere.
However, this situation caused another doubt for Zhao Liang: it is clearly written in history that in the end, King Youwang was killed and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, which was definitely the handwriting of the honest old man in front of him. Could it be that the "Shenhou" recorded in the history books is someone else? Could it be that his rumored youngest son Shen Changlie inherited the title, and then borrowed troops to destroy Ji Gongyan to avenge his sister?
This historical account is difficult to calculate for a while, so Zhao Liang can't help but be alert, Shenhou Shen Ziyan said that if he is not a loyal and righteous person, he must be a great traitor, and he must be more careful when dealing with him next.
He didn't know what Zhao Liang was thinking about at this time, but he was very interested in what Shen Zuolan had just said, so he didn't care how sincere Shen Hou's words were, and asked Shen Zuolan directly as if he had completely ignored it: "You just said that Zhou Tianzi wants to implement a new policy, what kind of new policy is it?" ”
Shen Zuolanbai didn't answer at a glance, and the meaning was obvious: You are a representative of the royal family, are you embarrassed to ask me about the news?
"Mr. Leave, please don't be surprised." Shen Hou gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and pretended to explain casually: "Doctor Zhong is all nonsense. Where are the New Deals? As long as the king has not sealed the jade seal to spread the edict to the world, everything will only be hearsay and false rumors! Zuo Lan, such a presumptuous discussion will not be allowed in the future. ”
The general on the other side said, "Master Hou, you can't blame Dr. Shen for this matter. First, this news was sent by Da Situ from Hojing, not a rumor. Second, the letter is very clear, so that the vassal states can consider it in detail. It is also the meaning of the king himself. ”
"That can't say anything about the old and new deals! It can't be involved in this because of the intention of disobedience! Shenhou shouted angrily.
Chang Yu was obviously very in awe of Shenhou, and when he saw him blowing his beard and staring, he immediately lowered his head in fright and said nothing.
Zhao Liang's curiosity was also aroused by them, and he asked, "What kind of decree is it that makes it so mysterious?" ”
Seeing that the imperial envoy of the Son of Heaven opened his mouth to inquire, Shenhou hurriedly replied seriously: "Your Excellency, in fact, it is the matter of the restructuring of the acres of land, you should have known it for a long time, there is nothing new." ”
"Restructuring of acres of land?" Zhao Liang felt that the second monk was confused, and asked curiously: "What the hell is that?" I really don't know. ”
Shenhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, seeing that Zhao Liang's bewildered look was definitely not pretending, he couldn't help but wonder: "Ah? You really don't know about this? As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Zuolan, exchanging a slightly surprised look with each other.
Shen Zuolan hesitated for two seconds and said: "The so-called reform of the field system is to abolish the original well field system and change it to a new law. ”
"What rules?" Zhao Liang and Zhu Li asked at the same time.
Shen Zuolan replied with disdain: "The Ida system has been changed to ...... Contracting. ”
, contracting! As if he was being burned, Zhao Liang immediately jumped up from his seat and asked Shen Zuolan tremblingly: "Full name...... The full name shouldn't be what the 'joint production contract responsibility system' is, right? ”
"Ah yes, that's the weird name." Shen Zuolan said: "It seems that the general still knows." ”
Zhao Liang screamed in despair, and instantly collapsed to the ground again. I, Nima, this King of Zhou You really dares to think and do! Even the feudal society was too lazy and rushed directly to modernization.
Qi Li and Bao Fu were taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to support Zhao Liang, who was weak, and asked him what was wrong. Shenhou was also surprised, and leaned over and asked, "General, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Liang waved his hand and asked rhetorically: "Shenhou, the new policy has not been promulgated and implemented yet, right?" ”
"Oh, not yet. But...... But I heard that it's coming soon, that is, this year and next year. ”
Whew-Zhao Liang took a long breath: "It's okay, it's okay, there is still salvation, otherwise Lao Tzu will be miserable by him!" ”
