Thirteen-year-old Zhao Zhen stood next to the fifty-seven-year-old Zhao Yuanzuo, not like an uncle and nephew, but more like a pair of grandchildren, what Zhao Yuanzuo had experienced made him more aging than his peers, the early Huafa was wrapped in a soft scarf and tied behind him to leave two small strips of cloth, a casual Yanju suit and the clan around him wearing gorgeous court clothes formed a stark contrast, calmly and chic showed that he was indisputable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Why does the official family look at the old man so much?" Zhao Yuanzuo saw that Zhao Zhen's small eyes kept asking a lot of strange questions on his body, he really likes this nephew, not only is he talented, but the important thing is that he is benevolent and filial piety, and he also has a pair of smart eyes.

"The little nephew has heard of the uncle for a long time, but he was able to meet today...... Zhao Zhen's words were interrupted by Zhao Yuanzuo waving his hand, "You and I can't see each other is my problem, and it has nothing to do with the official family, after all, you were the prince back then, and it was inappropriate to meet with us clans, and your eighth uncle would ...... if he didn't listen to persuasion."

At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo was still defending his younger brother, and although Zhao Zhen did not agree with his point of view, he nodded noncommittally out of respect. Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion is his own problem, even if he listens to Zhao Yuanzuo's admonition and does not contact himself, he is afraid that sooner or later he will rebel.

Zhao Yuanzuo took Zhao Zhen and walked slowly towards the grove, Zhao Zhen waved his hand to stop Peng Qi from following, from the eyes of this uncle, Zhao Zhen believed that he would not harm himself, and he led the way into the grove There should be something else to say to himself.

The crown on Zhao Zhen's body made it far less convenient for Zhao Yuanzuo, who was dressed in a swallow suit, in the grove, "Did the official family feel it?" Although the gown on your body is gorgeous and dignified, it is a burden, and you have to worry about thorns and vines in this small wood, which is far less comfortable than the simple swallow house dress on my body! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled awkwardly: "What Uncle said is, you should call me Yi'er in the future!" ”

"The only one who can call you Yi'er is your father and mother, and Uncle still likes to call you a sixth brother, you learned to walk on my lap back then, and I'm afraid I forgot ...... after so long" The old man's eyes showed a trace of good memories, and Zhao Zhen knew that he was reminding himself that he was still a member of the old Zhao family.

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanzuo sighed, and the expression on his face became sad, "Your grandfather gave birth to nine sons, your ninth uncle Zhao Yuanyi was absent early, and the other uncles were also gone, and there were your father, eighth uncle and me years ago, but I didn't expect that now your father and your eighth uncle are gone, leaving me to suffer in this turbid world, and I don't know when it will be a head!" ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Why did Uncle say this? My father was terminally ill and left without hesitation, the eighth uncle deserved it, I was going to let him live, but he ......"

"Yes! Let him live...... But he can't stand the punishment of King Rong and his family being demoted to commoners, and he can't see the glory and wealth disappear! Why are you so confused, even if you are turned into a commoner, how can we let you live in the market? What's so bad about being a rich man! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo shouted angrily in the direction of Tokyo City, as if reminding Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, this uncle was testing himself, took two steps forward gently, looked straight at Zhao Yuanyan with his eyes, and said, "Uncle is afraid that I will take the lives of several cousins?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes froze and then replied with a smile: "The official family is the most benevolent, of course this kind of thing can't be done!" ”

"Uncle is right, I didn't intend to kill them, I just demoted them to commoners, and I won't care about anything after that, as for who wants to fund them to be a rich man, or to be a night fragrant man, it has nothing to do with me!"

Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly turned his head and said, "Really?!" ”

"Seriously!"

"Whew...... The sixth brother is really benevolent and filial, not like your grandfather...... Since the sixth brother agreed to my request, I can be regarded as able to give an explanation to your eighth uncle after I die. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled slyly: "Since this is the case, the uncle should be optimistic about them, if there is a next time, I will not open the net!" ”

"It's natural, I still have sons when I die, and my children and grandchildren will watch them for generations."

Seeing Zhao Yuanzuo nodding in response, Zhao Zhen let go of the worries in his heart, this uncle is the patriarch of the old Zhao family, and he is desperately trying to maintain the unity and stability of the old Zhao family, for fear that the matter of fratricidal will happen again, so he came to intercede for Zhao Yuanyan's son.

The moonlight was bright and shining in the woods, which seemed a little cold, Zhao Zhen looked at the silent old man and asked softly: "Uncle has a thorough understanding of my Zhao clan, and the little nephew still has some things that he doesn't understand, why do the people in the clan want to buy land and annex the land of farmers?" Could it be that the imperial court doesn't give them much every year? However, if you live with fine clothes and food, you have to strive for profits with the people! ”

Zhao Zhen has long wanted to ask this question, if Jiangmen is looking for a way out for himself, why do the Zhao clan's clans also want to annex land and engage in commerce, do they also have to find a way out.

"Can't the sixth brother see it? They're making a statement to your father! After Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, Jiangmen began to collect money wantonly to find a way out for his family, how could the clan not know in his eyes, besides, who would think that his family had a lot of money? ”

The answer is so simple, in order to show that there is no threat to the rulers, they put all their energy into the never-ending and satisfying great cause of making money, since the Tang Dynasty there has been no fief, although the clan of the Great Song Dynasty does not have its own fiefdom, but there is a field, and the emperor gives his relatives a field This kind of thing has become their only remaining privilege.

In this way, they continue to expand their own fields, and there is no need to pay taxes on land, and the Great Song Dynasty does not inhibit land annexation, and my father even decrees that as long as the fields are obtained through normal trading, the clan does not have to pay taxes!

In this way, the clan is even more crazy to carry out land annexation, they use high money to buy adjacent fields, and then hire the original farmers to plant, and pay less taxes than the state collects, so who doesn't want to?

Slowly, the land of the clan began to swell, and Zhao Zhen asked the black hand to do a rough statistics, and some of the clan's fields accounted for tens of thousands of acres or even hundreds of thousands of acres in the local area! Such a high proportion made him shudder, if all the clans gave land added up, how much land would be left in the Great Song Dynasty?

Not only that, but they also extended their hands to the most profitable salt and iron, tea and wine, including alum and vinegar, which were monopolized by the state, and even included the fields of foreign trade.

Under the cold moonlight, Zhao Zhen struggled to hold his head high and said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "This is not normal, how can the descendants of my Zhao clan become rich people like fat pigs?" The children of each family don't think about how to serve the country, but think about how to make money and how to spend all day long.

I don't ask about the suffering of the world, but discuss which brothel in Tokyo City, how beautiful the Qingqi people are, and how the figure of the Wari female drama is oily and slippery! If this continues, the clan will only become a waste and a burden to the Great Song Dynasty! Uncle! Look at it, Jiangmen is still secretly accumulating strength to cultivate future generations, is it possible that my Zhao clan is happy all day long?! ”

Zhao Zhen's words were like a giant hammer constantly knocking on Zhao Yuanzuo's heart, and he was shocked to find that there were really few descendants of the clan who could handle it, and even if there were, it was far from the descendants of the Jiangmen and the wealthy families......
