Xi originally invited Chen Caozhi to live in his apartment, but Chen Caozhi declined, and after entering the city, he went to Gu's mansion and met Gu Kaizhi, Gu Kaizhi asked with a smile: "Did Zizhong see the 6 girls?" ”

Chen Cao smiled and said, "Thank you Mrs. Zun for sending the message." ”

Gu Kaizhi laughed, because when he talked about Zhu Yingtai, Gu Kaizhi immediately said angrily: "Shang Shi and I went to Xie Mansion twice to visit Zhu Yingtai, but we were told that Zhu Yingtai didn't return from going out, and he didn't want to see us at all, so it's okay if he doesn't make this kind of friend." ”

Chen Caozhi explained: "Changkang, this can't complain about Brother Yingtai, the Xie family doesn't seem to want her to enter the West Mansion, and she does everything she can to prevaricate, Yingtai is equivalent to house arrest in the mansion, think about it, have you ever shown up in the past two months?" ”

Gu Kaizhi suddenly said: "I see. I blamed Brother Yingtai wrong. He also said: "The Xie family is really strange, why don't you want to wish Yingtai to enter the West Mansion, isn't Xie Youdu in the West Mansion!" ”

Chen Caozhi said vaguely: "There may be a reason for outsiders, I didn't come back this time to urge Zhu Yingtai to come out on the orders of Huan Dasima." ”

Gu Kaizhi, you Gu Yuezhi had returned to Jingzhou last month, and Chen Caozhi went to visit Gu Kaizhi's uncle, Gu Mingzhi in the imperial history, and just greeted him.

When Shen Shi, Chen Shang came back from Situ Mansion and was very happy to see the sixteenth brother, and asked what happened when he returned to Beijing? asked Ran Sheng about it again, Chen Caozhi asked Ran Sheng to come and meet the third brother Chen Shang.

Chen Shang didn't care about having more younger brothers, since it was decided by the sixteenth brother, it made sense, and he didn't ask too much, so he said: "Sixteenth brother, wait a minute, go to Situ Mansion with me to see King Huiji, His Royal Highness King Huiji has instructed me, if you go back to Jiankang, go to see him as soon as possible." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Huiji Wangsi."

Ma Yu is in charge of internal and external affairs, he is the ruler of the DPRK and China, and now that the new monarch is newly established, and Huan Wen's authority is increasing, Sima Yu must be worried, and summoned me to understand Huan Wen's intentions from me. ”

Chen Caozhi had dinner in Gu's mansion, bathed and changed clothes, and then went with his third brother Chen Shang to meet Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, who thought that Sima Yu would sigh all night because of the decline of the royal family, but the Situ Mansion Yayan tearoom was full of friends, and a clear talk about Lao Tzu was underway, Sima Yu waved his dust tail to participate in the debate with great interest, and said in a loud voice: "Heaven and earth can last for a long time, and all of them can be self-generated, so they can last for a long time." Is it the saint who comes after his body and exists outside his body, not by his selflessness? So it can be selfish—"

Chen Shang is a scholar of Situ Mansion, and he doesn't need to be informed by others, he goes straight into the Yayan tearoom, whispers a few words in Sima Yu's ear, and Sima Yu said: "Please come in, Cao Zhi is a master of debate, and he will definitely be happy to participate in the Qingtan tonight." ”

Chen Caozhi entered to meet the king of Huiji, and greeted everyone in the Qing Talk, and then sat down, but the smell of tartar was permeated in the wide hall of the Jueya room, and there must have been many people who came from drinking clothes, wide robes and big sleeves, as if no one was around, emotional, and surging words.

Chen Caozhi looked at these fanatical celebrities with cold eyes, and said in his heart: "These people really have the strength to die at the end of the day." "Kneeling and listening for a while, although the metaphysics is quite observant, it is often too entangled, not like a discussion of righteousness, but like a battle of will.

Seeing that Chen Caoyi said no, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, said: "Cao Zhi is the first person of the younger generation to talk about Xuan, please make a selfish remark on heaven and earth." ”

Chen Caozhi bowed to Sima Yu and said: "The sages are high-minded, this theory is exhausted, and I dare not repeat it." ”

Sima Yu saw that Chen Caozhi was shocked that day, but today he was silent, presumably there was something on his mind, and immediately waved the dust, please continue to talk with the princes here, he returned to the study, and then invited Chen Caozhi to meet.

This is Chen Caozhi's second visit to the study of Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, and it is still an agarwood copper furnace and a plain curtain, and Sima Yu is still the dust behind and the wind god is sluggish.

Sima Yu asked Chen Caozhi about the meaning of Jiankang this time, and asked Chen Caozhi about his situation in Xifu, and Chen Caozhi answered one by one.

Sima Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "It is rumored that the Duke of Huan County is going to evacuate and merge Qiaozhou and Dayuehu, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The guest Xi will enter the capital with me this time, and it will be presented to the Da Situ case tomorrow." ”

Sima Yu asked: "What are the seven things that are cheap?" ”

Chen Cao is actually doing this: "First, Jiang Zuo's friends are the same, the Qing Dynasty is boiling, the family suppresses exaggeration, puts an end to competition, and does not enable energy planting; Second, the household registration is withered, not a county of the Han Dynasty, and the official system is redundant, and people are superfluous, so it is advisable to merge the officials and provincial positions, so that each of them can fulfill their duties; Third, the maintenance of the aircraft cannot be stopped, and the standing plan should be limited; Fourth, it is advisable to know the body of the young and the old, and the officials who will be loyal to the public; Fifth, praise and depreciation, rewards and punishments, should be allowed; Sixth, it is advisable to follow the previous canons and study clearly; Seventh, large households have privately hidden displaced people, there are no natives, the state has lost taxes, and there is a shortage of laborers. ”

Sima Yu listened to what Chen Caozhi said, stared and pondered, and said half-skinnedly: "It is not difficult to implement the first six things, but this is a matter of ruin, I don't know what the prince of Xingjun is based on?" ”

The Eastern Jin Dynasty had previously carried out three large-scale land breaks, respectively, the Jin Yuan Emperor Taixing four years by the prime minister Wang Dao presided over the land break, this time the land judgment set the Qiaozhou, county system and guest system, Qiaozhou, Qiaojun is to settle the Nandu displaced people, and the guest system is also the shade household system, stipulating that the first and second tenants of the official product can not be more than forty households, the third product of thirty-five households, so as to decrease but later, the more tenants occupied by the family, not to mention forty households, ten times more than a hundred times, the Qian Tang Chen family is only a second-class scholar, but also occupies forty shade households, Of course, this is determined according to the official character, the more guests in the family, the more guests will be given, and after the death of the official, this shade will not be taken back, accumulated from generation to generation, naturally huge-

The second large-scale soil break was presided over by Emperor Xian and Liang in the second year of Jin Cheng, and this time the soil break was mainly a new household registration and a tax on rice, which had little effect due to Su Jun's rebellion and Wang Dao's opposition-

The third time is the soil break presided over by the brothers of Lu Bing and Lu Yi during the Xiankang period, and the actual household is arranged, so that the princes and the following are all right, and the soil is white. Since the Taixing period Wang Dao presided over the establishment of Qiaozhou County, the Eastern Jin Dynasty household registration has been divided into yellow and white, the three Wu indigenous residents use the yellow nationality, and the Qiaozhou county and county residents use the white nationality. Because the displaced people do not have land, they do not have to serve and pay taxes, often dependent on the family, the Lu brothers' land policy is to cancel the preferential treatment of the expatriates, the white nationality into the yellow nationality, the overseas Chinese into the indigenous, the same for the country to pay taxes and serve, but the long brothers in order to strengthen their own strength, the inventory of the displaced people are not incorporated into the yellow nationality, but to fill the army, into the military registration, the history of "Gengyi Xijiang, Jing Erzhou household to fill the military service, Shishu sneered. Although the elder brother created a considerable army through this great land break, it also led to "Shishu Ran" and lost the hearts of the people.

Since Chen Caozhi presented these cheap seven things to Huan Wen, and the focus was on the inspection of the territory, he naturally worked hard to study the first three major inspections, and said: "Huan County intends to implement the system of painting one. Abolish the Qiaozhou counties and yellow and white registrations, read the household registration, and compile new registrations. ”

Sima Yu asked, "Do you think it's feasible?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The king, this policy of breaking the earth was suggested to the Duke of Huan County. ”

"Oh?" Sima Yu raised his eyebrows, stared at Chen Caozhi, and asked slowly: "What are the considerations for Caozhi?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The registered households are far lower than the actual households, and there are very few households that serve the country and pay taxes. ”

Sima Yu pondered for a while, nodded, and asked, "Who is the Duke of Xingjun presiding over this matter?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Xie Youdu was initially scheduled to preside, and I was supplemented by Zhu Yingtai." ”

When Sima Yu heard that it was Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi who presided over this matter, his heart was relieved, but he heard Chen Caozhi say again: "King, there is a suggestion under the law, this land break is bound to implicate a wide range of interests, involving the interests of the northern and southern clans, and it is foolish to think that the big 6 Shangshu and Xie Youdu can jointly lead this matter, and the northern and southern clans will be balanced." ”

6 Shi can be said to be the leader of the three Wu clans. The big earth break first involved the interests of the four surnames of Wu County and the four surnames of Huiji, the eight families in Jiangdong, and Chen Caozhi's recommendation of 6 to implement the land break can be said to have ulterior intentions, but presumably 6 is also willing to take responsibility.

Sima Yu also felt that there should be a person representing the interests of the Sanwu Shi clan to participate in the soil break, and listened to Chen Caozhi's recommendation for 6 years, which was very agreeable, and talked with Chen Caozhi until late at night, Dayue.

On the morning of June 22, Zuo Minshangshu 6 sent officials Liu Shangzhi to invite Chen Caozhi to the luncheon of the 6th Mansion. ”

Chen Caozhi and Liu Shang went to 6 Nafudi. Chen Caozhi is now a quality official, and he is not white again, 6 Na met in the main hall, exchanged a few words, and invited him into the study for a long talk.

6 Na left the servant who was waiting, looked at Chen Caozhi, and asked, "Cao Zhi entered the capital yesterday?" ”

Chen Caozhi responded: "Yes." ”

6Na asked, "Have you ever seen a wolf?" ”

Chen Caozhi was slightly embarrassed and replied: "I met by chance in the new pavilion." ”

6 Na had already guessed, sighed lightly, and asked, "What if you can't marry Wei Rui?" ”

Chen Caozhi responded: "I will not marry for life." ”

6 Na Moran, the study was silent, for a long time, 6 Na said slowly: "Cao has both ability and political integrity, I appreciate it very much, you and Wei Rui are in love, how can I not know, but you also know the suspension of the door, alas, I 6 Na can not choose a son-in-law for his beloved daughter, it is a pity, last night I thought hard of a way, if Cao is willing to follow my words, I am willing to marry Wei Rui to you——"

Chen Cao's heart beat faster, his palms were slightly sweaty, his expression was still calm, and he said respectfully: "Please make it clear." ”
