Chen Jian stayed in the county for a month, not only did he not see the assassin history, but even Wei Zhi was nowhere to be seen - it is said that the assassin who went out on patrol had something to summon, so he hurriedly left the house and rushed to the beach......

Chen Jian is so depressed, he is holding a thick stack of land deeds, and when he came, he had patted his chest in front of his brother Chen Fen to protect the certificate, this time he must take all the land in Huaisi Township, so that my Chen family can be passed on from generation to generation, and the descendants will never be afraid of freezing and starving, and now that things can't be done, where does he have the face to go back to see Chen Fen?

Chen Fen already has a son-in-law, who is six years old, but although there are three concubines in addition to his wife, the sons born to the concubines all died young, and the reason is ...... Don't talk about it. ◢ With *dream* small◢.1a Seeing that the sister-in-law's belly in the main house was getting bigger again, Chen Jian thought, if my brother can get a man again, I have to hurry up and say a daughter-in-law. They are brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, and Chen Jian is afraid that once he has a son, his brother will have a sense of crisis - can the next generation of patriarchs still fall into the hands of the long house, so he has been dragging the marriage. If the elder brother has two sons, an heir, and a backup, he will not be able to threaten him if he gives birth to a cub.

So I have to hurry up and finalize the deed, and with this credit, I can at least tell my brother that I will divide one or two percent into my own name, so that I can pass it on to my son in the future. The nephew is unreliable, because the sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp......

Since Wei Zhi couldn't find it, he was forced to try to go through the path of another Zhou Zhi. But this Zhou Zhi has a straight face all day long, and he doesn't speak very sharply, it is really not easy to communicate, and the five silk horses are sent out, as if they have been squatted. However, this is not to blame Zhou Cheng, so that Jun has not returned, he wants to help spread the rumor, who should he go to report? Zhou Zhen said very clearly in and out of his words, this matter can only be asked to the king, the county guard and the don't drive are all strict and upright, abide by the law of the country, don't go to the wall and hit the wall, one is not good, maybe they will be directly arrested and punished......

Finally waited for Pei to return to Huaiyin, Chen Jian hurriedly went to visit Zhou Zhu again, but Zhou Zhu told him: "Make the king return, politics, political affairs, day, day, day and Bian don't talk about it, fear, fear, fear...... Stay a few days longer, what is the hurry? Chen Jian returned gloomily, and there was no other way but to continue to wait.

He lived in a relative's house, and on this day, a young man suddenly came to the door with a letter of introduction from Zhou Zhu, saw Chen Jian, and pointed to his nose: "My name is Pei Lian, and the monarch is my lord, and the family affairs are entrusted to him." Although the other party was just a slave, Jian Chen happened to ask him, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then asked, "But did you summon the villain?" Pei Lin nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "You are a common man, so that the monarch's status is noble, and it is inconvenient to see each other." You can go somewhere and somewhere tonight, and you will have your own good. ”

Chen Jian was full of promises, and that night he carried those land deeds and came to a deserted house according to Pei Lian's guidance. said that it was a deserted house, but in fact, there was originally a very wealthy family living in it, but later abandoned the business and went south, and the house was vacant.

Sure enough, Pei Lin waited at the door, and immediately led Chen Jian into a side room. I saw a silk curtain in the house, and a lamp was lit behind the scenes, and there were many shadows. He was at a loss, when he heard someone behind the curtain ask, "You are Jian Chen?" Yes, there was a relationship in the past. ”

When Jian Chen heard it, it was really Pei Tingshi's voice, and he quickly knelt down and bowed to the shrine. However, after Pei Jianshi said this, he didn't speak again, and Pei Lin discussed relevant matters with Chen Jian.

The cultivated land area of Huaisi Township is very vast, there are as many as 10,000 hectares, of which 20% have already been returned to the Chen family "in name and solemnity", and Chen Jian took out the remaining 80% of the land deeds this time. Pei Lin pointed out on the spot, although these fields have not yet passed through the households, and there is no endorsement from the government, but they have already fallen into your hands, so the autumn endowment is only grain, and your brothers should hand over 70,000 Hu to the county - in fact, how much did you pay?

Chen Jian hurriedly explained: "Although there is land, there is no one to cultivate it, and many places are abandoned, and there is something to be done? "At least 10,000 agricultural households must be able to cultivate these 10,000 hectares of fertile land, right? But now there are not so many people in Guangling County, right? What's more, we are just a small Huaisi township......

Pei Lin shook his head and said that no matter whether there is anyone farming in the government, it has always collected rent according to the field - it is not a verbal endowment, it must be levied according to the head.

Jian Chen is not stupid, he knows that Pei Lin is not helping the government to collect rent-if he really wants that, he will not mysteriously lead himself to this realm - just for the personal benefit of his master's family, that is, Pei Tingshi, in this case, to talk about taxes is purely bargaining, and I have to bargain well.

——————————

This Pei Lin was originally the slave of Sima Rui, the king of Langya, after Pei's aunt and nephew crossed the river, Sima Rui rewarded him to Pei, and Pei transferred it to Pei Gai, so the slave changed his name to Pei Lin from the master's surname. For example, Pei Ren, the housekeeper who stayed in Jianye, because it was sent by the Wang family, his real name is Wang Ling, which made Pei Gai very unhappy, so he named Pei Ren. For example, the two he took across the river, one Pei Du, was not only smart and alert, diligent in his hands and feet, but also knew a lot of words, and could read through all the rough articles - it is said that before he was sold into slavery, he was also the son of a scholar family - he was really the best of the slaves, so he had the name Pei Du.

Pei Lin is different, Pei should summarize the characteristics of this kid, there are three points: first, the mouth is as sweet as honey; Second, the heart is as deep as an abyss; Three, good gambling and lust. That's why he was named Pei Lian, because almost that famous minister of the Xingtang Dynasty is such a shameless politician who is good at drilling.

Those slaves who stayed in Jianye, there are also those named Pei Guo, Pei Tan, Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, and the most beautiful one is called Pei Hang...... It's a pity that no one can name Pei Ju, in Pei Gai's view, the surname Pei after the Tang Dynasty, regardless of character, talent, or career, all take Pei Ju as the first, but as a slave, if he can really have Pei Hongda's ability, he will not only definitely take him across the river, but also how can he bear to be a slave?

There is also Pei Xingjian, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, whose exploits are almost not under Li Weigong, Xu Shixian, Su Dingfang and others, and Yaya is unwilling to give this good name to a slave.

Pull back and say, Pei Lian's heart is yin, his mouth is skillful, and he is the slave of a big family - before Pei Gai, he also served Sima Rui - how is Jian Chen, a country boss, his opponent? After turning around, he soon inexplicably agreed to all the conditions put forward by Pei Lian. Of course, this is also because he was in a hurry to complete the transfer of the title deed, and Pei Gai deliberately left him dry for more than a month, resulting in not very stable emotions and a very clear mind.

Pei Lin conveyed Pei Tingshi's meaning, no money, no silk, as long as the grain - 7,000 grains, plus two additional horses into the account, these land deeds can all be stamped and approved. But don't send it to the official treasury, there is a private treasury somewhere, you can transport it quietly, and I will follow.

In the end, Pei Gai handwrote a white note, recognizing the matter, and Chen Jian took the white note and went back happily. Pei Gai summoned Pei Lin over and said to him: "When the settlement is completed, you will spread the matter, and if you think that the rest of the dock forts will also send people to negotiate, they will all be handed over to you." Do it well, and you will surely have your benefits. Pei Lin bowed down and took the promise.

——————————

Pei should have sold his official position and then sold his land, because he knew that those landlords and old rich people must still have a lot of grain hidden in their homes, and the more chaotic the war, the more they would hoard food instead of money. If he had three or five thousand elite soldiers, he would directly pick all the dock forts and confiscate all the grain and grass materials into the official, but unfortunately he did not have such strength at present, so he would have to resell the national industry......

He pretended to act in private, but he didn't dare to hide it from Bian Yan. Bian Wangzhi is now his head of civil affairs, and many of his own measures, even if he doesn't say hello in advance, he has to report to Bian Yan afterwards, so as to facilitate the other party to plan the government affairs of the county, and on the other hand, to avoid unnecessary estrangement and doubts between the monarch and the minister.

Bian Yan was indeed opposed to the sale of land, saying: "The government and the people occupy the land, each has its own limits, even if because of the turmoil of the times, resulting in encroachment and overtaking, this is a helpless thing, but the official family should not recognize it." The reason for the funeral turmoil in the past dynasties is because the powerful land is even strange, the people lose their land, and they are forced to be reduced to slaves, then the gentry are strong and the government is weak, and the government is weak and it is difficult to collect taxes, and the government is corrupt, how can we not learn from it? ”

Pei Gai smiled bitterly: "Even if I don't admit it, they don't want to pay taxes according to the law, you can't sleep all night, and you have tried your best, but you only received 30,000 grains. There is a right to do things, and this has to be done. And to be exterminated, the Son of Heaven will be returned, the society will be safe, and the land of the people will be re-approved according to the law. ”

Bian Yan frowned, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh - this is really a helpless way, even if you drink to quench your thirst, you have to get through this period first. But then he asked, "In that case, why don't you let them make plans and make them do it yourself?" ”

Pei Gai smiled: "Bian Jun wants to slander me? ”

"I'm not driving, I come and go; How can you defile yourself as a noble eunuch? ”

Pei Gai said: "The prestige of the official family must not be degraded, someone must maintain it, and Bian Junri is close to the government, so this authority can be maintained by the monarch." I pretended to be a fool and made them despise me, and it was for the sake of today, that they benefited from me, and it was the personal greed that the official law has not changed. But so that the society is resettled, and the world is safe, why am I afraid of sludge? Besides, Bian Jun has ever seen Lianhu? ”

Bian Yan was stunned when he heard this: "What about Lian?" ”

"The lotus is out of the sludge but not stained, the water is clear and the ripples are not demonic, the middle is straight and the outside is straight, the vine is not branched, the fragrance is far and clear, and the pavilion is ...... Ahem, if I can help the ancestor to clear Heluo and return the Son of Heaven on another day, then I will be so filthy, how can I damage my fame? Since then, there may still be deviant and difficult powers, and please don't have to be harsh. ”

Bian Yan arched his hand and said: "'Out of the sludge but not stained, clear ripples but not demons', what a word!" In ancient times, those who have become great things are not informal, and they are called kings. However, he is an assistant, and he should still speak up in case of trouble, and please make the king not guilty. "What do you want to do, I can't stop it, but I can't do it if you want me to shut up, as a loyal minister, you should speak out, it's your business to listen or not, it's up to me to say it or not.

Pei Cai saw that he couldn't stop Bian Yan's mouth, so he had to wave his hand helplessly: "And by Bian Jun." ”
