The so-called dedication is to take refuge in the name of the person who has a title or fame, and turn the field into a 'free grain field' or a 'light grain field', and the taxes that should have been handed over to the imperial court will naturally be intercepted, and how to divide it with the person who has taken refuge depends on each person.

Left in the future generations, this is tax evasion, the key is that the world respects Confucianism alone, and doing things with fame and fame is often invincible, not to mention the descendants of the saints of the world's masters.

Except for some titles that have been awarded for military merits, most of them are side branches of the old Zhu family.

Even if every official in the court knew everything about it, no one dared to care.

On the surface, Zhang Zhen would take advantage of the Confucius family, and what would happen after the dedication was not known to outsiders.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zhen doesn't even plan to take refuge in the orthodoxy of Daming, and such a slave with multiple surnames is also worthy of subduing himself?

In Zhang Zhen's opinion, such a soft bone, tens of thousands of people in his family are not as good as a loyal soldier, and if he wins the world in the future, he may not accept it if he surrenders his family.

"A godsend?" Zhang Zhen sneered: "Shopkeeper Kong also thinks too highly of himself, right?" Zhang Zhen thinks about the people, and this dynasty has Guowei Gong as an example! The land is planted, but I don't know that Zhang Zhen can't get an official and a half-job, and I don't know if one day, a knighthood will fall from the sky? What do you say, shopkeeper? ”

"Dreaming!" This is clearly a rejection! Shopkeeper Kong laughed angrily, and said arrogantly: "If the land is planted, you can become an official?" Hahahaha!! This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, not to mention the military generals, which Wenchen has no fame? I don't understand my Confucian way and still want to be an official? Hum! Also knighted? Is this how easy it is to be knighted? I'm afraid you have a life to think, but you can't be a life! I see you're a toast and don't eat and drink! Leave! ”

"Don't send it!" Zhang Zhen said flatly.

Seeing the shopkeeper go out, Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "Drink less tonight and go out with me." ”

The two of them were overjoyed after hearing this, obviously very excited, Zhang Huanghe asked, "Lord, do it tonight?" ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Pull people over first to prepare, and by the way, let you touch the firearms." ”

The two were dumbfounded and whispered in horror, "It's already built?" ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, got up and went out to drink again, his thousand cups of wine that were not drunk, that was a glass of wine to dry, until all the wine was drunk, it was only three or four points drunk.

First, the leaders of several craftsmen appointed by Zhang Zhen went back to rest, and then the tenants also brought food back to the fields to bring food to those who watched the crops.

In the night, the people were not tired, except for those who were guarding the edge of the field, and the rest of the people who were not tired also began to transport the wheat to the Yangchang, and waited for the dawn to dry in the rolling yard.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Zhen also took people out of the village, bypassed his own field workshop, made a rubber boat and quietly went into the water.

"Who?" A low cry in the night.

"The lord is here!" Xia Zhongyong replied, and quickly rowed a small boat from the aquatic grass.

The people on the small boat met Zhang Zhen, and he ordered him to light a torch and accompany him behind, and soon went to the island.

As soon as he arrived in the village, a deputy commander appointed by Zhang Zhen reported: "Lord, tonight I caught a small boat on the island without permission, a total of three people, those three people did not confess, said that they were from the rice noodle shop in Nanyang Town, and they also claimed to be descendants of saints. ”

There are still guests coming to this trapped dragon island, needless to say, it is also the master behind the original Shui Kou, the rice noodle shop? Could it be that you have just seen the shopkeeper of the hole? It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Zhang Zhen smiled: "Let's go and see what he says!" Lao Xia, the Yellow River, all cover their faces! ”

The three of them were covered with black cloth, their hair was also wrapped in black cloth, and they only had two eyes, and they were dressed like this, and it was night, under the light of the jumping torches, even if they were acquaintances, they might not be able to distinguish clearly, let alone the shopkeeper Kong, who had only seen one time.

In that simple prison, there were three people tied to three wooden stakes, and Zhang Zhen saw that it was not the shopkeeper Kong he had just seen.

The deputy commander shouted: "My family.... The owner of the village is here, and he has come to you to ask questions, if there is a half-nonsense, be careful to go to the island with a life, and return without a life! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! The three of them were removed from the plugged hemp core packets, and hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Zhen lowered his voice and smiled: "I have lived with three unknowns, what are you waiting for me to do in my water village?" But the old birthday boy is impatient to hang himself? ”

The shopkeeper Kong hurriedly said: "Uncle, the villain is wronged!" The villain is a good merchant in Nanyang Town, but he has some friendship with the original owner of Mancang Island, if this friendship is known, the small business has to be done, so he has to take advantage of the night to visit his friends! ”

"The owner of the village! This is a lie! Kill him? Xia Zhongyong pulled out a quick knife on the side and said eagerly.

This is obviously Xia Zhongyong scaring when he sees the opportunity, but this hole shopkeeper doesn't know the details, and where does he dare to gamble, so he hurriedly begged: "The villain knows that he is wrong, ask the uncle to raise his noble hand!" The villain is recruited from the truth! ”

"The villain is here, there is a big deal to negotiate with the original owner, since this Mancang Island has changed hands, I want to come to report to the uncle! But it is Wanghu Village in the southeast of Nanyang Town, there is a large household, there are 300 acres of fertile land, the field is fertile and strong, not to mention, that kind of seed is amazing, you know, this afternoon harvested three acres, the mu yield is enough eleven stones! Eleven stones!! If this is exchanged outward, it is easy to exchange three for one, and it is white silver....."

The spittle that the shopkeeper said was flying, adding oil and vinegar, and robbing the house was also said by him as if he had entered a mountain of gold and silver, and he could pick up silver at his fingertips.

Finally listening, Zhang Zhen smiled: "So that's the case!" This is a deal! Did you leak the news before you came? ”

The shopkeeper Kong looked nervous, and hurriedly said: "The little one informed the Yang inspection of the Nanyang Inspection Division, but he was asked to do his hands and feet when collecting taxes, he is a person in the government, how much can he take away from taxes alone?" The big head will definitely be the owner of the village! ”

"You're vicious!" Zhang Zhen sighed: "It's okay to do things with taxes, and let me wait for a ransack, then the big family won't have nothing to lose?" It seems that you have a grudge against that big family! This feud is not small! For your sake, do you want me to help you cut the grass and eradicate the roots? ”

"So much the best!" The shopkeeper Kong said happily: "If you can cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the villain will not let the uncle set himself on fire, and then he will push it on the head of the anti-thief Li Chuang, or say that they resist taxes and want to kill the official and rebel, in short, it will not trouble the heroes, uncle, do you think it is good?" ”

"Sounds interesting!" Zhang Zhen praised, pulled down the mask and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Kong, we met again so soon!" ”

"You are? It's you!!! The other party revealed the true face of Lushan, it was only more than an hour apart, and the shopkeeper Kong naturally remembered that he had seen it at a glance, and it was called a soul flying away.

Zhang Zhen smiled: "Since you have already told Yang Zhengjun, then you have no value, kill it." ”

Zhang Huanghe stabbed out the first few knives on his body, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and he also used Professor Zhang Zhen's method to stir and stir in the stomach before drawing the knife, and the three unlucky ghosts who were sent to the door quickly met the king of Hades.
