......

Zhu Di's face was as usual, but the words he said were terrifying.

"Someone."

"Your Majesty!"

Hu Guang's body trembled, but he didn't wait for the order to be imprisoned.

"Go, call Xinghebo."

After the others left, Zhu Di sneered: "If that vertical man dares to open his mouth, I will never spare him!" ”

Several people in the hall adjusted their posture uneasily, and then continued to deal with political affairs.

Who doesn't know these years? As long as you win the lift, you don't need to report it, and you can just get free food.

Blessed are the peasant households who donate to the homes of the people, scholars, and officials, although they only change the object of tax payment to the main family, they can pay a lot less every year, and the family has a lot more chewing.

Time passed, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more dull, as if someone had added an adhesive to the air, making it difficult to breathe.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Rong gritted his teeth and stood up, and under Zhu Di's deep gaze, he said, "Your Majesty, the preferential treatment of the gentry today is indeed ...... After that, most of them were exempted from money and food. ”

Hu Guang's body instantly relaxed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the gentry is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, once they are alienated, they will be chaotic, the minister remembers the annual tax amount of the household department, and the state has more than enough, why not ......"

Everyone's position is different, Hu Guang's position is 'Shoufu', but don't forget, he also has an identity, that is, a Confucian disciple.

"Your Majesty, Xinghebo has arrived."

Fang Xing entered the hall, and after saluting, Zhu Di asked, "How do you know that most of the gentry are free of food?" ”

Fang Xing pointed to himself and said: "Your Majesty, before the minister was awarded the title of Xing and Bo, Fangjiazhuang had already been exempted from money and grain, and no one had ever come to collect taxes in the first fresh......

Hu Guang clenched his hands into fists and said: "Your Majesty, Xinghe Bo is a young man, his family is ordinary, and the magistrate is just exempting his family's money and food according to the rules." ”

Fang Xing said with a smile: "There is such a thing, the minister happened to meet the grain chief to ask for food after he woke up at that time, but what the minister wanted to say was that when he was in Beiping Mansion, those middle school students did not pay for food!" And ......"

"Xinghebo!"

Jin Youzi raised his eyebrows and said: "Preferential treatment of the gentry, this is the ancestral system." ”

Shut up! Otherwise, all the literati in the world will hate you to death.

Fang Xing glanced at Zhu Di, and then said lightly: "What is the benefit of Yu Guo?" ”

Zhu Di squinted and said nothing, the gentry is indeed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule, and once it collapses, it represents the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

So why after Zhu Yuanzhang, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty became a real privileged class, the reason is that this force is too big, and if you are not careful, it will cause a backlash.

Jin Youzi said loudly: "It can stabilize the township and county and benefit Sangzi." ”

Fang Xing showed a sneering look and asked, "But by annexing land and taking over lawsuits, will you benefit Sangzi?" Oh! I also forgot that they don't have to pay money and food, and all the taxes that should have been paid on them are pressed on the heads of the people in their hometowns, is this for the benefit of Sangzi? ”

Hehe!

Seeing that Jin Youzi's face was flushed, he couldn't speak, Fang Xing said: "Once in a few years, a township test will produce a batch of such people every time, and then the fields included in the tax will be reduced by a batch, dare to ask your lords, if this situation continues for a hundred years, will the people of my Ming Dynasty still have land to plant?" Does anyone still pay the taxes? ”

"Alarmist!"

Jin Youzi couldn't resist Fang Xing's rhetorical question, so he had to put a hat on him.

When it is peaceful today, you are alarmist, do you think that the people under the rule of His Majesty live in water and fire?

Fang Xing's eyes shrank, stared at Jin Youzi and said: "There is a country in the West, its ministers are flattering, and for a long time, the monarch thinks that he is a god, and the people are miserable......"

That's not a good thing!

Jin Youzi's eyes almost erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Fang Xing.

“…… Just a liar said that he could make beautiful clothes that were unparalleled in the world, and the monarch asked for them with a lot of money. Well, the king found that this garment was invisible to the naked eye, and there was no trace of it, and he had doubts in his heart, but the ministers praised it, and the king wore it to swagger through the market......"

"Fang Xing ......"

Jin Youzi took a step forward and said angrily: "You are rude! ”

Zhu Di looked at Fang Xing playfully and listened to him continue to tell the story.

In Xia Yuanji's worried eyes, Fang Xing continued: "The carriage swaggered through the market, and the people didn't dare to say anything when they saw it, and the monarch thought that this was unparalleled in the world......

Fruit / Ben!

Xia Yuanji's eyelids were jumping wildly, he felt that Fang Xing had some Wei Zheng's meaning today, and he actually made a mistake against Yan Jin.

Fang Xing looked at Zhu Di calmly and said: "The monarch thought that he was wearing clothes, and the people didn't dare to speak, and finally an ignorant little girl shouted......"

"Enough!"

Zhu Di kicked over the imperial case and shouted: "Fork out!" Ten sticks! ”

Outside the door, a guard suddenly agreed, and then rushed in and grabbed Fang Xing's arms.

Fang Xing did not resist and followed outside.

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, Xing Hebo has a pure heart, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive him this time." ”

Zhu Di turned around and left, the big eunuch hurriedly followed, but Huang Yan took this opportunity to go outside.

Xia Yuanji stomped his feet, worried that Huang Yan would be bad, and followed out.

Yang Rong smiled bitterly: "This is good, this is good, who is right and who is wrong?" ”

Yang Shiqi sighed: "Xinghebo is the courage of blood after all, he shouldn't say such things in front of His Majesty!" ”

The two looked at Hu Guang, only to find that Hu Guang's face was actually blue, and his hands were tightly clenched, and his eyes were wandering.

"Lord Hu?"

Yang Shiqi asked tentatively.

Yang Rong couldn't help but sneer: "Lord Hu, but you think ten sticks are not enough? ”

Hu Guang glanced at him and said coldly: "Divide, rule!" You and I are both on Fang Dehua's big dang and I don't know it! ”

Yang Shiqi was surprised: "But how dare he break the kettle like this?!" ”

Hu Guang lowered his eyes and said, "How dare he!" ”

Several people walked outside the hall and saw that Fang Xing had been tied to the bench, and there were two brocade guards standing beside him, and Huang Yan was in prison.

Xia Yuanji saw the board where the red paint fell, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "You can wait a little lighter." ”

Huang Yan smiled gloomily: "Lord Xia, there is already a common practice in the palace for the weight of this board, so there is no need to worry." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yan gave the two brocade guards a look, and clearly asked them to make a heavy hand.

"Huang Yan! Don't you dare? ”

Xia Yuanji shouted angrily.

One of the brocade guards came over with a piece of cork, ready to stuff it into Fang Xing's mouth.

When Fang Xing saw the tooth marks on it, he shook his head and said, "Fang doesn't need it!" ”

"Really?"

The brocade guard said in surprise: "When the time comes, I will bite my tongue." ”

Fang Xing shook his head resolutely and said, "Don't bite even if you die." ”

Huang Yan said hesitantly: "Since Xing Hebo doesn't need it, then let's not force it, let's do it." ”

Hu Guang stared at the board and muttered: "Under the three woods, why can't you ask for it, Your Majesty, why do you want to balance!" Isn't Confucianism good enough? ”

Yang Rong sneered: "On the matter, the gentry have been treated preferentially!" Xing Hebo is right, if it goes on like this, sooner or later the people of the Ming Dynasty will have no place to stand, and then there will be beacons everywhere! ”

Hu Guang was furious: "No gentry, where did you and I come from!" Without gentry, how stable is the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Started ......"

Yang Shiqi didn't participate in the argument, he saw the two boards raised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ten sticks is too many!" ”
