Chapter 175: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
No matter how nervous the students of Luming Academy are, the day of the four major academies has finally come.
Luming Academy in Runing Prefecture, Yuewen Academy in Nanyang Prefecture, Longta Academy in Guide Mansion and Tibetan Ying Academy all belong to Runan Road, Henan Province.
The students of the four major academies combined, there are a total of three or four hundred, and the only one that can accommodate so many students to take the exam at the same time is only Luming Academy, and the students of the other three academies can only rush to Luming Academy one after another.
Three days before the big competition, the previously quiet academy began to welcome an endless stream of students, and the person responsible for receiving it was Qiu Zhicun, who was introduced by the academy.
Don't look at Qiu Zhicun's small eyes, but in this kind of scene, he is still very good at being a person. Don't say anything else, it's this talent, polite appearance, which is enough to make others unreachable.
Some people often call people "nerds", and the reason is that these people lock themselves in their rooms all the year round, and they are faced with books every day, and after a long time, they naturally dare not speak, can't speak, and don't like to talk.
But Qiu Zhicun is not, he is very accustomed to doing scenes, just imagine, among the shrunken nerds, there is only such a person, who has no foundation but is sleek and sensible, and it is no wonder that he can be favored by Zheng Dongmen.
Although tomorrow is the day of Dabi, Luo Kui still gave lectures to a few people in Minglun Hall as usual, under the desk, Bai Qichang held a red fruit in his hand, and glanced at Wang Lucao with his eyes wandering.
Luo Kui asked: "If you close the city, you will be a bad businessman, which is not a good policy." ”
He said that if the tax on the market on the main transportation route is increased, the farmers will not dare to do business easily, so this is not a good way to raise the national tax.
Jiang Liusu pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.
Luo Kui nodded: "Lu Cao, you can talk about it." ”
"Yes, sir." Wang Lu got up, bowed his hand, and then gently fanned the fan on his chest twice, and replied: "The student thought that Qin Shishang Jun once said: use the mouth of the merchant to make the business, so that the servants, public opinion, apprentices, and children must be famous, then the farmer and the business will work." ”
Shen Kang said with a smile: "According to the number of people in each household, the servants of the merchant family are required to pay taxes according to the number registered by the government, so that the taxes of the peasant households are naturally light, and the merchants invisibly increase the taxes. ”
If you want to implement this regulation, you can... Family planning.
Don't laugh at the officials, and think about it.
In this era, families with only three children like the Shen family are still a minority, and in most of the villages, the poorer the family, the more they want to strengthen their labor, so they have endless children.
If it is implemented in accordance with the law of Shang Ying, will those farmers who drag their families and bring their mouths not rebel?
When the time comes, how can those in power reverse the vicious incidents such as the sale of children and the mutilation of girls?
Luo Kui said: "Qichang, what do you think? ”
Bai Qichang was thinking about things in a trance, but he didn't expect to be named suddenly, he had no draft, he stood up and finished saluting, but he couldn't speak.
He paused slightly, and said, "You classmates have made achievements in what they have said, and Qi Chang is ashamed that he has not yet come up with a suitable law to successfully collect taxes. ”
Wang Lucao smiled and said: "In fact, the prosperity of the country cannot only rely on taxation. The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is an example. ”
Luo Kui frowned slightly and looked at Bai Qichang, then retracted his gaze and asked, "Tell me." ”
Bai Qichang rubbed the bridge of his nose and squinted at Wang Lucao, who was talking eloquently, and his heart was difficult to calm down.
After class, several people went to the library to study as usual, and Zhang Ge came as promised.
"Shen Sanlang, what about Wei Wurui?"
Shen Kang smiled and said, "I asked him to go to the county to help me buy some pen and ink." ”
Zhang Ge smiled: "Your scholar also went with him?" ”
"Yes."
Zhang Ge smiled, and turned his eyes to look at everyone: "Being Shen Sanlang's slave is really light." ”
"Who's to say it's not." Jiang Liushu said: "To buy a pen and ink, the two of them have to go together." ”
Shen Kang said: "They are by my side day and night, no matter the cold or summer, there is no vacation, and it is also appropriate to let them relax when they have nothing to do." ”
Bai Qichang said: "Make it rain, you also go to rest and drink some tea." ”
Lang Yu wanted to go, but he didn't dare to leave his side easily, so he could only smile and say, "The villain is not tired." ”
Bai Qichang crossed him and looked to the side, Liao Minghui hid behind the pillar and quietly looked at this side.
He said coldly: "If you want to go, you can go, where do you learn the rules and dare to disobey the master's words?" ”
Lang Yu thought about it, but it was not a big deal to leave for a while. So he thanked him: "Thank you, Childe." So saying, he left.
Wang Lu said: "It's just snowing, it's very cold, let's go in first." ”
Everyone walked in together, Bai Qichang paused, and said, "Everyone, go first, I'll go and make it convenient." ”
Jiang Liushu said: "Brother Bai, go and come back quickly." ”
"Okay." Bai Qichang turned around and walked towards Gongfang.
Bai Qi often walked slowly, his feet stepped on the snow and made footprints, as expected, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he gritted his teeth and paused.
Liao Minghui stepped forward in two steps and said with a smile: "Qichang, what a coincidence." ”
Bai Qichang turned his back to him and asked, "Who are you instructed by?" Why do you provoke us so often? ”
Liao Minghui smiled when he heard this, and said, "Qichang... Ask while knowing the answer? ”
Bai Qichang turned around, looked at him with cold eyes, threw the red fruit in his hand to the ground, and said slowly: "Tell Qiu Zhicun that I, Bai Qichang, will not be at the mercy of others." He's looking at the wrong person. ”
Liao Minghui was slightly stunned and said, "You, aren't you afraid of losing to Wang Lucao?" ”
Bai Qichang smiled: "There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains." If I lose, it means that I am not good at learning, and I should be willing to bow down. It seems that this kind of indiscriminate tactics should be left to others to use. ”
He paused slightly for a moment and said, "If there is a day when I am named on the gold list, it must be won by knowledge." ”
"You!"
Bai Qichang sneered and said, "Have you ever seen the house on the top of the mountain?" ”
"What?" Liao Minghui looked at him puzzled.
Bai Qichang said with a smile: "I was fortunate to go to the palace once, and the house of the palace has such a hall, which looks like two buildings on the hanging mountain, and looks at it inside, hum, but it is the top of the mountain." He smiled warmly, like a humble gentleman, and turned away, leaving only a line of footprints.
A cold wind blew, and the cold wind drilled into Liao Minghui's neck, and he shivered all over his body.
He thought about it for a while, Bai Qichang knew that he was sent by Qiu Zhicun, and he clearly refused to do anything to hurt Wang Lucao, but he put aside such a sentence before leaving, such a sentence was enough to kill Wang Lucao's family!
He wanted to... He didn't move a single bit, and let Qiu Zhicun deal with Wang Lucao.
It's a good trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and you don't see blood when you kill people.
Liao Minghui's heart moved, and he suddenly felt even colder, and said sneeringly: "It's so vicious." ”
