Since the land measurement work takes time to complete, Wang Ke means that before the land measurement is completed, the tax reform should not be announced to the public, so as not to 'revea' a little rumor, and those who are flexible will start to make up their minds, think of ways, and adopt all kinds of means to reap benefits for themselves.

Fang Xuanling also felt that Wang Ke's concern was not unreasonable, and when he issued an edict to various places to measure land, he also changed his statement, and asked all parts of the country to re-measure the land on the grounds that the imperial court counted the cultivated land, and sent the list to Chang'an after the summary of each province.

The next revision of the land tax system is much easier, after all, it has been done many times before, although the content is different, but there is still no major difference, just change some wording, and the tax rate has also been calculated and replaced, and it has become a new tax collection system.

Now the most difficult thing is to collect taxes on industrial and commercial households, which everyone has never encountered before, and it is really not so easy to say 'get' it. Thanks to Wang Ke, he still knows a little more, according to the tax rate that he knows in later generations, coupled with the data calculated by Fang Xuanling and others, he finally 'gets' the tax system for industry and commerce. After reporting to Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke was idle.

Wang Ke was busy for a while, and he didn't know how much time had passed. On this day, I sat at home and chatted with Nanping, only to know that I had been pulled by Fang Xuanling to do this for more than a month.

Nanping said with a smile: "If the general is still busy, I'm afraid he won't even be able to catch up with the concubine and give birth!" ”

When Wang Ke heard Nanping's words, he reacted, Nanping really hasn't gone out recently, and stays at home every day. Looking at Nanping's belly again, it also bulged up, and it seems that the day of birth is really not far away. Wang Ke only then remembered to ask Nanping how many days he had to give birth.

Not to mention, after the child became pregnant, Wang Ke always did this and that thing without stopping, and his care for Nanping was only to help him when he was free, and get up at night to 'get' something to eat, really speaking, he didn't do anything.

Wang Ke looked at Nanping with some guilt and said, "Wife, I'm really sorry, I've been busy with something, so I forgot about you." I hope my wife doesn't blame me. ”

Nanping was really moved by Wang Ke's words, although he had never given birth to a child, but he had also seen a lot of 'women' when they gave birth to children, not to mention the same care that Wang Ke treated himself on weekdays, even if there would be no more words, where would Wang Ke say sorry for the lack of care, it was simply unthinkable.

Nanping looked at Wang Ke with tenderness in his eyes, and said softly: "Don't blame yourself, the concubine knows that the general is busy with state affairs, and he can't ignore state affairs because of his concubine, and this is not what the concubine wants." The general shares his father's worries and fights for the royal family, how can the concubine blame the general for some trivial things, isn't it the concubine's fault! ”

In the face of Nanping, Wang Ke's heart has never been calm. When I came to the Tang Dynasty, I want to say what I really like, let myself put my heart into love, that is, this Nanping, although Dongyue has always said nothing to herself, everything is the first thing to think of herself, and she does everything silently behind her back, and Lanling has married into the Wang family, and it is also a 'door' mind to contribute to Wang Ke, and she is afraid that Wang Ke will suffer a loss for everything, and often disregard herself to stand up for Wang Ke, but in Wang Ke's mind, Nanping's weight is the heaviest.

Just when the two of them were talking to each other, Fang Xuanling found the 'door', and when he saw Wang Ke, Fang Xuanling arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Disturbing the peace of the princess and the marquis, the minister is really helpless." Please also ask the princess and the marquis not to blame! ”

As soon as Nanping saw Fang Xuanling coming, he knew that he must have something to talk to Wang Ke, so he didn't ask much, and after asking the family to bring tea, he took the family out of the study.

Wang Ke was not surprised that Fang Xuanling came, anyway, they came to him if they had something, and they were used to it, the so-called "habit becomes natural." Wang Ke is already used to seeing it. Now he is strange, why Fang Xuanling calls himself Hou Ye, this makes Wang Ke a little puzzled, on weekdays, the two are also uncles and nephews, in front of Comrade Li Er, Fang Xuanling's most polite or formal title is Xiao Wang, and when he says that things are happy, he directly calls himself a virtuous nephew.

Wang Ke waited for Fang Xuanling to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Why is my uncle so polite today, in the past, Ke was always commensurate with his nephew, and today's marquis in this life really makes Ke a little awkward!" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to take it to heart, the princess was here just now, and the old man can't be rude." ”

Only then did Wang Ke understand that daring to love this Fang Xuanling was because of Nanping's face, so he was so polite.

Wang Ke said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, my Nanping is not a cautious person, and my uncle and little nephew have not known each other for a short time, so there is no need to be so formal." I don't know if my uncle is here today, if there is anything I need my nephew to serve, please ask my uncle to talk about it! ”

What Wang Ke is thinking about now is why this Fang Xuanling suddenly came to his house today. It is said that this tax payment has just been completed for a few days, and there is no major event in the court in his memory, and today is not a day for the court to rest and rest, this Fang Xuanling does not stay in his office, but he comes to himself, and he doesn't know whether it is a business or a 'private' matter to come to him.

Wang Ke carefully looked at Fang Xuanling's expression, and it didn't feel like a business matter, but it might be more 'sexual' related to 'private' matters.

After pondering Fang Xuanling's intentions, Wang Ke saw that he just didn't speak, thinking that he probably wanted to let himself pick up this conversation, and he didn't care about scruples, and said bluntly: "Uncle shouldn't come here today for official business, if there is anything that the little nephew can contribute, the uncle just say it, and the little nephew will definitely contribute!" ”

Wang Ke is much more sure of the tone of his words to help the 'private' people, and he also knows that this person can't do anything like doing things for the public, saying that he has to leave a way out for himself in advance, and if the public affairs can't be done, you can find someone else to do it, this 'private' person's business, if you find you, you must have a way to do it, not to mention that people like Fang Xuanling can be regarded as having huge energy, and if you find yourself for something, you must have the ability to help him.

Fang Xuanling saw that Wang Ke had also broken the matter, so he said: "Virtuous nephew, the old man came today, and as you said, it was not for official business. The old man has something he wants to ask his nephew, but I don't know if the nephew can tell the truth! ”

Wang Ke saw that Fang Xuanling was always detouring, and he didn't say his purpose for coming for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and his words became much stiffer: "Uncle, just say what you have." The little nephew is a person, and the uncle should know it, and he will not do things that harm others and himself. ”

Fang Xuanling was told by Wang Ke, his face was a little stupid, and he said with a sneer: "Don't worry, nephew, the old man didn't say it, but he just felt a little difficult to speak." ”

Wang Ke didn't understand, although this Fang Xuanling can be regarded as an upright person, he has never seen him form a gang with anyone on weekdays, and he is also dedicated to the official affairs in his hands, but he dares to say and do anything, I have never seen him squirm like today, and he can't tell the reason for the matter for a long time. Is it for the sake of his family? Wang Ke couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Thinking of this, Wang Ke felt that it was necessary to deceive Fang Xuanling, it seemed that this old guy would not take the initiative to say the purpose of coming today if he didn't deceive him!

Wang Ke laughed and said, "Uncle, the little nephew understands a little!" My uncle must have come here today for the sake of his brother's death. What, does my uncle have the idea of letting his bereaved brother enter the official career? ”

Wang Ke can be regarded as completely breaking the matter now, and Fang Xuanling's purpose of coming today is for this matter.

This has to start with a list of appointments and dismissals this morning. As soon as Fang Xuanling came to his office in the morning, he began to look through the various documents sent in the morning as usual, and on a personnel appointment and dismissal, Fang Xuanling saw that the name of the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson Wuji's family was impressively listed, and the eldest grandson Chong was still a Beijing official, and he did not go out of town.

Fang Xuanling took this list and came to the eldest grandson Wuji's room, and asked the eldest grandson Wuji what was going on, the eldest grandson Wuji told him and Wang Ke to see Comrade Li Er, what Comrade Li Er said, and how Wang Ke dealt with it one by one, Fang Xuanling then knew that this family cannot be an official in the court at the same time (specifically refers to civil officials, and is also a Beijing official, and local positions are not included) This rule has now begun to loosen and may be completely abolished in the future.

On the way back to his room, Fang Xuanling began to think, he now has two boys in his family, not to mention the second son's bereavement, he is still young, it is impossible to enter the office, besides, this kid seems to like dancing and boxing to 'get' sticks one day, maybe he can only be promoted to a military position in the future. But his eldest son is straight, but he has always been under his own teaching, reading poetry and books, because of the rules of the court, and he is not worried about letting him go out to be an official, I am afraid that without my own assistance, he will do something wrong, wouldn't it hurt him! Now that I have this opportunity to be an official in Chang'an, I can take care of one or two things myself, which is an opportunity.

Returning to his office and sitting down, Fang Xuanling was already unsteady, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to come to find Wang Ke, he knew that now Wang Ke must be at home because he has been busy for so long, so he came directly to the palace.

Now that Wang Ke has explained his words, Fang Xuanling has no worries, and after telling today's matter, he said directly: "The old man heard the eldest grandson talk about this matter today, and I don't know how to deal with this regulation now, so I took the liberty to come to disturb the virtuous nephew, and asked the virtuous nephew to explain to the old man!" ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew that his guess was good, and the old man had an idea in his heart, so he told Fang Xuanling in detail about his conversation with Comrade Li Er, and explained Comrade Li Er's current thoughts.

After finishing speaking, Wang Ke said to Fang Xuanling: "Uncle, the little nephew thinks that it is better for the surviving brother not to enter the court directly, and with the talent of the bereaved brother, it is best to participate in this year's autumn examination." Entering the court in this way, no one has any complaints, after all, it is based on their own talents, and no one will think that it is because of the relationship between the uncle, so there is no damage to the reputation of the uncle and the last brother. I wonder what my uncle thinks? ”

Fang Xuanling didn't understand the truth, this is completely different from the entry of the eldest grandson Chong, and when the time comes, no one will say three or four. For this, Fang Xuanling also attaches great importance to it.

Now Fang Xuanling has fully understood Wang Ke's intentions, stood up and thanked Wang Ke again and again, Wang Ke refused, and the two walked to the big 'gate' of the palace like this, and Fang Xuanling said goodbye.
