You must know that there are many people who hate Xie Shen, such as Tan Fang, the adopted son of Eunuch Li, such as Sun Ruoxu, and then Wu Shopkeeper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If they learned that Xie Shen had a conflict with his uncle and brother in the clan, they would definitely intervene.

The truth of the matter didn't matter at all, they would just swoop over like flies and win the Xie clan to the opposite side of the teenager.

After calming down, Xie Shen thought about how to deal with this hidden danger.

Although he has a word of reason, reason tells him that he must not take it lightly.

Anyway, in his previous life, he also studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, and countless famous ministers fell to their unlucky relatives, Xie Shen didn't want to die before he left the school.

In the Ming Dynasty, fame or fame was absolutely the most important thing for a scholar.

The dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and if an unfilial hat is buttoned down, basically this person's future will be wasted.

This filial piety is naturally not limited to one room and one household, but also needs to be practiced by the elders of the entire clan.

In fact, the situation Xie Shen is facing now is not bad, if he is promoted in the township examination in the coming year, it is estimated that more relatives will come and compete to attach the fields to his name.

In the Ming Dynasty, scholars enjoyed a series of privileges, the most important of which was exemption from taxation and forced labor.

As a semi-official, the old man has already stepped into the officialdom with one foot, so he can naturally enjoy the privileges of a scholar.

Xie Shen ruled the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and also conducted an in-depth study of the land issue in the Ming Dynasty, and in his opinion, exempting the acres of land under the name of scholars from taxation was definitely a terrible policy.

At first glance, this policy seemed to have played a role in attracting people's hearts and encouraging scholars to study hard and become officials, but in fact it laid a hidden danger for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The ancients said that one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog. This sentence could not be more appropriate for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, who attached their land to scholars and thus exempted them from paying taxes. The imperial court could not collect taxes, and the title deeds were controlled by these scholars.

Although in most cases these scholars will only collect a symbolic tax from their relatives and then "rent" the land to their relatives, from the perspective of the Great Ming Law, the transfer of ownership of the land has been completed, in other words, the change of ownership has been completed.

Once these scholars repented, or their descendants repented, the relatives who had owned the land had to go bankrupt and become tenant farmers in the truest sense of the word.

It is terrible to have no culture, and the oral contract has no legal benefits, which is why all the land in the late Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of scholars and royal relatives, and the people who really farmed the land were bankrupt and unsustainable.

Of course, these are gossip, but the first thing Xie Shen needs to deal with now is the pressure of public opinion.

There is a saying that three people become tigers, and even if it is not true, it can be true......

Xie Shen didn't think that with the scoundrels of this seventh uncle and a cadre of clansmen, he would stop there, if he really forced them to the opponent, it would be difficult to do.

But if Xie Shen was told to bow his head, it would never be possible.

The mud people still have three points of temperament, and these clansmen were able to force the eldest brother to leave Juyu Mountain back then, so they should no longer think about going to Xie Shen to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Although it is easy to get things done with the help of relatives, it also depends on what kind of clan relatives it is. A clan relative like the seventh uncle of the Xie family is blessed not to provoke.

"Big brother, if they come knocking again, you should not hear them. I'm out on a trip, you don't have to worry. ”

This matter is a bit complicated, Xie Shen wants to go to Wang Shouwen to discuss, although he may not be able to come up with a solution immediately, but multiple people always have multiple ideas.

But it was said that Xie Shen left Xie Mansion and went to the Wang's house, at this moment Wang Shouwen was reading in the study, and listened to the housekeeper's report that Xie Xiaoxianggong naturally put down the book and got up to greet him.

Xie Shen entered the study and saw Wang Shouwen reading, and said in surprise: "Brother Shouwen, why did you change your sex today, and you are actually studying?" ”

Wang Shouwen rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Brother Shenxian, what are you talking about, I am obviously a studious person, isn't it normal to study in the mansion." What's more, the scientific examination is imminent, and if I can't get the qualification for the township examination at one time, I will inevitably be scolded by my father. ”

Xie Shen nodded and said, "It's naturally great that Brother Shouwen can have such ambitions, but there are still a few months before the scientific examination, so he won't be so surprised." ”

Wang Shouwen led Xie Shen to sit down, and waved his hand to signal the housekeeper to prepare some snacks and tea.

"What, Brother Shen Xian is studying hard for his brother, afraid of stealing your limelight? You can rest assured, next year's township test, Xie Yuan is still yours, I'll take Yakui! ”

Xie Shen was really amused at this time.

If you talk about the eight-strand literary foundation, he and Wang Shouwen are not as good as Xie Pi. The reason why Xie Shen was able to get Xiao Sanyuan was somewhat of a luck element. But the little three yuan is the little three yuan after all, and no one can erase it. As long as Xie Shen's performance is not abnormal, it is not difficult to lift people in the township examination.

But if you want to pass the exam, it will be very difficult.

First, the township examination is very formal, not only the main examiner, the deputy examiner, and the same examiner, but also the name of the exam!

Xie Shen and Grand Master Chen Fangyin have a very good relationship, but since it is a vague name, no matter how good the relationship is, it is in vain. Without this layer of help, Xie Shen can only rely on his hard power. But after all, the boy is not a native of the Ming Dynasty, if you only talk about the quality of the article, no matter how hard you work, there is a gap with those Wenkui, in a term, it is infinitely close and not parallel......

Moreover, the examiners of the township examination are the same examiners, which are drawn from the instructors of various states and counties. In other words, the difference in taste with the examiner is also likely to affect the candidate's final ranking......

It can only be said that Wang Shouwen's mentality is very good, and he actually thinks about taking Yakui......

"Ahem, let's talk about it, what are you doing when you come to be a brother? It can't really be that you come to eat for your brother with nothing to do, right? Or ...... For Shen Niangzi? ”

Old man Wang Hua and Wang Shouren are not in the house, and there is indeed no one who can control Wang Shouwen, he can naturally "do whatever he wants" and have a good time.

Xie Shen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk about that, there is really nothing between me and Shen Niangzi." ”

Wang Shouwen said with a smile: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan language is half a night. Tears and rain and zero bells will not complain in the end. What a thin brocade dress. Wishing on the day of the wings. Brother Shen Xian made such a beautiful poem that day, I'm afraid he wouldn't have no thoughts about Shen Niangzi at all. ”

Xie Shen was helpless. At that time, it was just to help Shen Niangzi win the Oiran that she took out the poem at the bottom of the box, which now seems to be too high-profile......

Seeing that Xie Shen was silent, Wang Shouwen even thought that he had guessed the young man's thoughts, and laughed while patting Xie Shen's shoulder.
