Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death.

Autumn harvest of 10,000 seeds, but can not withstand the heavy taxation, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, it stands to reason that the people's life should be a little better, but in the late Yuan Dynasty when the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had supported Zhang Shicheng economically, after the grandfather unified the country, he increased the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At the time of the autumn harvest, there were two very important things in Qiantang County, one was the imperial examination, and the other was the collection of taxes and grain.

Fan Dianshi and a few of his servants were like robbers, each of them holding fine scrolls, porcelain, potted plants, and so on.

Another middle-aged man, who was already emaciated, I don't know if it was after the blow of that incident, the whole person became more and more haggard, and begged Fan Dianshi: "My lord, you have collected taxes and grain three times in a row, and all the wealth of the small people has been taken away, please let me have a way out." ”

"Okay, Lord Huang said, as long as you send your daughter to our lord to be a concubine, you will be kept clean in the days to come." Fan Dianshi said: "According to the Erhuang book, the tax grain is still a lot worse, even if I wait three times, you can't pay the tax grain!" ”

"Dad, don't say it, go home and discuss!" Fang Xiaomei on Fang Mu's side persuaded.

"Yellow Book, Yellow Book, all the land in my family has been sold to the county lord, the county lord not only does not increase the income, but also does not allow my house to be cut, and finally all the taxes here fall on my house, it is a robber!" Fang Xun said angrily.

"The time set on the paperwork is September low, and now it's only August low, you fucking bullied Lao Tzu for not studying, right?" Fan Dianshi's face was not good.

"But the land has already been handed over in July!" Fang Xun is unrelenting.

After Fang Xun finished saying this, another group of people followed with a gossip: "Yes, yes, we originally had eight acres of land, why did we have to pay ten acres when it was our turn to pay grain?" ”

Chen Yu heard and understood, it turned out to be "sprinkling the faction to send tricks", which are the two methods commonly used by landlords and gentry to evade taxes.

"Sprinkling the pie" are two separate verbs, divided into "sprinkling" and "scheming".

The eight acres of land that the small people just said to pay taxes and grain according to ten acres of land is "sprinkling", and it is the landlords and gentry who divide the land into pieces and distribute it to the peasant households.

Another kind of "trickery" is to lie about the fields in his name to others, which is the "masterpiece" of the "mastery" of Lord Huang, who is "proficient in the law".

Seeing the small people gossiping, Fan Dianshi's face was not good, those small people were originally looking for the Fang family to be brave, but now seeing that Fan Dianshi showed signs of anger, he quickly closed his mouth.

But seeing Fan Dianshi, he said to the little official beside him: "Diao Min, who has sharp teeth and sharp mouths, call me!" ”

"You...... You, you dare! Fang Xun stammered: "You are a fish and meat people, I have read the "Great Message", I want to sue you." ”

"I sue your uncle, when you used this method to bully tenant farmers and good households, you didn't read "The Great Message"? Oh, by the way, you are the head of the case, this "Four Books and Five Classics" is very good to read, come, quickly memorize two sentences and listen. ”

"You ......" Fang Xun's lips turned purple.

"My lord, I calculated the taxes, and today's values are converted into silver, plus the taxes collected before, and this year's taxes should be complete." Fang Xiaomei on the side.

Fan Dianshi glanced at Fang Xiaomei, this little girl looks really good, no wonder she was caught by Lord Huang at a glance, she is a smart person, yes, all right, but you say all right?

"But it's true, but how to calculate the 10,000 taels of silver that the Erfang family owes to Lord Huang?" Fan Dianshi asked.

"When did we ever owe so much money to Lord Huang?" 10,000 taels, if this was placed in the past, it would be a small amount for the Fang family, but now it is like an astronomical amount for them, and today these ancient books and porcelain are taken away by them, and the Fang family has only that house!

When Fang Mu heard this, his face darkened.

Fan Dianshi took out the contract in his hand, and it was clearly written, "In June of the 17th year of Yu Hongzhi, there is a Dangshan man Fang Mu who owes Huangcheng 10,000 taels of silver, and the time limit for violation has not been completed." ”

There is also Fang Mu's handprint and signature below.

"Dad, what's going on?" Fang Xiaomei asked in disbelief.

"Hey, it's hard to say, I'm going to sell the house, I believe I can pay it off!" Fang Mu said.

"House? No one would dare to buy your house. Fan Dianshi said with a smile.

"You ...... This is to force the old man to his death! "Fang Mu is a smart person, these clever things have not been done before, Fan Dianshi skills said such things, then there must be a way to make the Fang family's house not sell.

"But ......"

"How?" Fang Xun, who has been demented for a long time, seems to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"If this little lady can be given to the adult as a concubine, this arrears can not only be written off, but also given to Yu Er and other silver, so that you can wait for the future days without worry, of course, this kind of thing needs to be voluntary, otherwise I think my family is the kind of black-hearted official!"

What is not a black-hearted official? Fang Xun glanced at Fang Xiaomei in embarrassment, just this glance made the scorching autumn day seem to be in advance of winter, Fang Xiaomei only felt cold all over.

Chen Yu figured out the situation of the Fang family and shook his head, not because of the Fang family's pity, but because Qiantang County had another scourge county order, and now he knew why the Li county order would say that he was a clean and honest county order, compared to this Huang Daren, his Li county order was nothing at all.

"Uncle Fan, are you on official business?" Chen Yu came to the side of several people with his hands behind his back.

"Ah, Master Chen, are you distracted?" Fan Dianshi's face immediately changed, and the speed at which he changed his face made it easy to sing a Peking Opera!

The world is thin, people are evil, and the rain sends dusk flowers to fall. The wind is dry, the tears are remnant, I want to write about my heart, and I have a monologue oblique column. Hard, hard, hard. People are different, today is not yesterday, and the sick soul is like a swing. The horn is cold, the night is cold, I am afraid of people asking questions, and I am happy with tears and makeup. Hide, hide, hide.

Looking at Chen Yu at the moment, he is still so calm, with incomparable confidence in his faint smile, he is now a master, if it weren't for the style of the examiner in the text, he might have been the master of Xie Yuan by now.

"I just finished eating the Luming banquet and was about to rush back to the house, when I saw you here on official business, so I came to take a look." Chen Yu said: "Is this collecting tax grain?" ”

"However, several small people still have arrears that have not been handed over, and they are being demanded." Fan Dian Shi Dao.

"Well, then I won't bother you!" Chen Yu turned around and prepared to leave, not long after leaving, as if he remembered something, he turned back and said: "By the way, Lord Wang and the teachers were also discussing this tax and grain at the banquet of Luming, Jiangnan tax is an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court, Lord Wang inspected Zhejiang, and attached great importance to this, saying that it was necessary to strictly investigate whether there were evil deeds such as "sprinkling the faction", "surrendering", "merging", etc., Lord Fan, as an official of the imperial court, can also supervise it, and you can not say that you can still make meritorious contributions in front of Lord Wang. ”

After "kindly" reminding Fan Dianshi, Chen Yu left.

Looking at Chen Yu's departing back, Fang Xiaomei felt a trace of gratitude. Obviously helping himself, but pretending to be unconcerned.

"Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, wait a minute." Fang Mu hurriedly stopped Chen Yu, but seeing that Chen Yu didn't seem to hear it, Fang Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Chen Gongzi stays." ”

Chen Yu turned his head and asked with a smile, "Are you calling me?" ”

It's not that he didn't hear what Fang Mu said, but he just deliberately pretended not to hear it, so as not to increase the embarrassment.

Fang Mu's face burst into a smile, and he came to Chen Yu's side and said: "I didn't want to delay the virtuous son-in-law's career, so I withdrew from the marriage, and now the virtuous son-in-law is in high school, and the marriage can be decided!" ”

"Shameless!" Even the Fan Dianshi couldn't help it, he had seen shameless, but he had never seen such shameless, you ran faster than a rabbit when people were in trouble, and now that people have made a fortune, you shamelessly said that you were afraid of delaying other people's careers, and you said all the good and bad things.

However, I have to say that this Fang Mu is still a bit of a brain, if Chen Yu really admits this family business, all the problems can be solved.

"Hey, do you know how much heart I have broken for you, Xiaomei thinks about you day and night, look at this emaciated appearance now!"

"Daddy!" Fang Xiaomei felt that her face was flushed, she couldn't say such shameless words, and now she couldn't wait to find a mouse hole to get into.

"Uncle Fang, where is this, according to the "Da Ming Law", it is you who proposed to withdraw from the marriage, I didn't say anything, now I am not your virtuous son-in-law, you should choose another good son-in-law." After that, Chen Yu left, chanting in his mouth: "The white of the egret is not innocent, and the outside is pure and benevolent." Que Wude, no Si Chen, Hu Wei pecked the purple scales under my cover. Eagle and eagle, greedy and easy to kill. Although the phoenix is a great sage, he does not want to be a minister. ”

"This ...... This, surnamed Chen, you don't have a conscience like this, in vain my past cultivation of your Chen family, ungrateful, the old man wants to spread your evil deeds all over the Ming Dynasty, see how you will be an official in the future, how to be an official! ”

"Heh~ surnamed Fang, you shameless old thing, you are the one who quit the marriage, and you are the one who bullied the Chen family, and now you are spitting people, call me!" Fan Dianshi said, and a small official kicked Fang Mu twice.

Chen Yu didn't seem to hear the movement behind him, and walked towards Chen's mansion with his hands behind his back.

After Fan Dianshi and the others left, Fang Mu said fiercely: "Chen Yu, you wait for me!" ”

Only that Fang Xiaomei kept chanting in her mouth: "The white of the egret is not innocent, and the outside is pure and benevolent...... I don't want to be a minister. ”

This poem was recited a few years ago when Chen Yu and Fang Xiaomei met for the first time, when Fang Xiaomei disliked Chen Yu for being pedantic, had no strengths, and had no ambitions. During the conversation, they ridiculed each other, and that day Chen Yu was criticized for his body, and even predicted that Chen Yu would never be able to go to high school in his life.

At that time, Chen Yu left with anger, and when he left, he recited this poem "White Dove Speech" to describe Fang Xiaomei as "disliking the poor and loving the rich", of course, this rich and poor is not the rich and poor in the ordinary sense.
