Chapter 043: Strategizing
Zhao Xu saw a few courtiers in the Gongzhui Palace, and when he came out, it was stormy outside, and Jiao Shou hurriedly held up the umbrella for Zhao Xu; Jiao Shou now knows that he can't do things like an umbrella himself, but he still insists on it, and the two figures, one old and one young, just walked into the wind and rain.
When I walked to the Baowen Pavilion, there were two palace maids at the end of the corridor who were softly humming the "Yanqiu Ci" that they had just learned, in the deep palace, these palace maids were undoubtedly the loneliest, and they were also the most eager for love.
Zhao Xu has heard it many times in the past two days, thinking of the origin of this poem, Zhao Xu's heart moved, Yang Yi is the only one who has entered the second class of 'new law believers', this "Yanqiu Ci" He can be regarded as knowledgeable, so how is he in terms of strategy? Zhao Xu suddenly wanted to find out, so he instructed Jiao Shou: "Let people go to the Ministry of Rites to get the Yang Yi exam paper, I want to see it!" ”
"The official family invites you to enter the hall, and the old slave will go and get it in person!"
Waiting to send Zhao Xu to the door of Baowen Pavilion, Jiao Shou bowed and withdrew, and soon disappeared into the vast rain curtain, Jiao Shou was only in his forties, but his temples were already gray, and his waist was a little rickety, Zhao Xu looked at it and sighed secretly in his heart, Jiao Shou has experienced many misfortunes in the past nine years, and it can be said that it is also his Zhao Xu's misfortune.
Since he ascended the throne at the age of nine, Zhao Xu has lived in the shadow of his grandmother Gao Tao all the time. Sleeping at night, it is unbelievable, Zhao Xugui is the emperor of a country, and the whole world is nominally his, but in fact, over the years, he not only does not have his own bedroom, but also does not even have a bed that officially belongs to him.
Over the years, whether day or night, Zhao Xu was almost always in his grandmother's sight, and it was not until after his wedding that he had a place to sleep with peace of mind;
Gao Taotao claimed that this was out of love for Zhao Xu, but as long as he was an individual, he probably couldn't stand this kind of torture, and it was hard to imagine how Zhao Xu had come over the years.
Zhao Xu was a few servants who served by his side, and when he saw Zhao Xu's grievances, he comforted him a little, but he was immediately sent by Gao Tao to engage in the hardest and most tiring miscellaneous labor, and it was not until Gao Taotao died that Zhao Xu reinstated Jiao Shou and them.
After a while, waiting for Jiao Shou to take Yang Yi's test paper, Zhao Xu opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but think deeply, Yang Yi's answer sheet is only a hundred words, but it covers an amazing amount of content. There is nothing new in this point, in the past, Wang Anshi's average tax on Fangtian included the article of Qingzhang land.
The key lies in the second article, in which Yang Yi proposed a unified assignment, which would be attributed to the land, collected by the mu, and changed the forced labor to hired labor, and the government would uniformly draw money from the tax and hire people to serve on behalf of the government, so as to limit the harshness and make the tax stable;
Because of the second article, there is a difference between the original intention of the first article of the Qingzhang land and Wang Anshi's Fangtian Average Tax Law, and the content of Wang Anshi's Fangtian Average Tax Law is mainly to clear the zhangzhang, verify the amount of land occupied by each household, divide the field grades, formulate the cadastral, and determine the amount of peasants' tax paid in accordance with the grade regulations.
In fact, the Fangtian average tax law is still based on the two tax laws, and the core content of the two tax laws is that the household tax and the local tax are levied in summer and autumn every year.
And Yang Yi proposed a unified enlistment, which would be attributed to the land and levied by the mu, which was tantamount to completely abolishing the two-tax system that had been implemented since the Tang and Song dynasties!
The longer the implementation of the two-tax system, the more the drawbacks will be revealed, for example, some people were originally third-class households, but for various reasons become extremely poor households, and the household tax is levied according to the household level, but the adjustment of the imperial court household needs to be reviewed layer by layer, some remote counties from the report to the central review down, sometimes it takes more years, before the approval you still have to pay the third-class household tax, this phenomenon of property and tax deposit, the final result is to force the people to flee, or even fall into the grass.
And if according to Yang Yi's proposal of unified enlistment, the enslavement will be attributed to the land, and the mu will be levied, these drawbacks can basically be avoided, but there are still many debatable points in this unified enslavement method, Yang Yi does not know, and deliberately did not discuss it in detail on the test paper? …,
Holding Yang Yi's test paper, Zhao Xu showed a faint smile!
On the mansion of Lu Xianggong, the deep courtyard was bathed in the wind and rain, and Lu Dafang's study was quiet and silent, Lu Dafang, Zhu Guangting, Lu Tao in the matter, and Shangshu Zuo Cheng Liang Tao sat opposite each other and did not speak for a long time; This time, the representatives of the Shu, Luo, and Shuo parties in the DPRK and China are all here!
After the Shu Party was released from the Su brothers, Lu Tao became the person who carried the flag, and there were four people in the Great Song Dynasty, who were divided into the daily official affairs of the province, read the internal and external cashiers' documents, and refuted the official decrees and the improper awarding of officials.
The leader of the Shuo Party is nominally Liu Zhi, but two years ago, Lu Dafang instructed Yushi Yang Wei and others to impeach Liu Zhi, and successfully kicked him to Qingzhou to cool down, and the person who carried the flag of the Shuo Party in the DPRK became Liu Tao.
But now, as the threat of the Yuanfeng Party is approaching step by step, these people who used to eat dogs are sitting together again!
The wind and rain outside the window were like darkness, and the room was cold and silent, and it took a long time for Lu Dafang to sigh: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is extremely determined, I am afraid that we will waste our efforts!" ”
Lu Tao stroked his long beard and said: "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, dare to ask Lu Xianggong, do we still have a way out?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty is young after all, just like a sword that has just come out of its sheath, and after some setbacks, this sharp spirit will be polished, there is enough prestige among the Yuanfeng party to carry the banner, only Zhang Duan and Li Qingchen, if we can bring down these two people this time, Yuanfeng and the traitors will be left with Zhang Shangying, these disciples and grandchildren will not be able to become a climate, and this endgame must not be cleaned up by Lu Xianggong and the adults!" Zhu Guangting is still agitating vigorously, he is really unwilling to let go of the power in his hands, if Lu Dafang goes to the throne again, it will become a nest for the Yuanyou party.
Liang Tao replied lightly: "Difficult! If this case is handed over to Dali Temple for trial, it would be fine, but now it is in the hands of the Criminal Department, what kind of person Su Song is must be clear to everyone, and it is difficult to let him cooperate with us! ”
Everyone fell silent again, what Liang Tao said was the truth, Su Song opposed Shenzong's promotion of Li Ding at a higher level and refused to draft the edict, so he was briefly degraded, but the court reform during the Yuanfeng period was almost completed under the auspices of Su Song, he did not follow the new party, nor did he get involved in the old party, but he had his own principles;
As long as he thinks it is unreasonable, whether you are the new party or the old party, you will oppose it, he thinks it is beneficial to the court, he will do it with all his heart, since Yuanfeng, whether it is the new party in power, or the old party in power, he can't bear to fight against Su Song's style of old scalpers, and now Su Song has almost become a moral benchmark in the court, and whoever fights him will be extremely despicable.
"This cheating case is not only a matter of the imperial court, it involves thousands of students all over the world! If we can't severely punish those who engage in favoritism and fraud, I am afraid that the students of the world will be resentful! ”
As the so-called hearing the strings and singing knows the elegant meaning, Lu Tao seemed to have said such a sentence unintentionally, but it made Zhu Guangting and the others light up, and exchanged glances with each other.
It's hard to be angry, this is a feasible plan!
Yang Yi squirted the imperial envoy Deng Zhongming to the ground in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and he himself was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.
The cell was very dry, Yang Yi and the cell head were sitting on the wooden bed drinking a little wine, the aroma of wine was overflowing, and he was holding a yellow roast chicken in his hand, which looked ......
In short, Qin Zigui suspected that he was in the wrong place!
"Young Master Yang, since you have a friend to visit, you will retire first, if Gongzi Li needs anything, you can give an order at any time!"
Waiting for the cell boss to retreat, Qin Zigui said in a nutshell: "Brother Yang, this ......."
"Money can make ghosts grind, Zigui won't even hear this, right? Don't talk nonsense, since you are here, I will accompany Brother Yu to drink two glasses, this is Fengle Lou's Meishou wine. Yang Yi continued to nibble on the roast chicken in his hand and gestured to the vacant seat next to him.
Qin Zigui sat down, but said with a worried face: "Brother Yang, why are you doing this? This roared in the court and insulted the officials of the court, didn't Brother Yang think about the consequences? ”
"I am confident that I will live for 200 years, and I will hit the water for 3,000 miles, Zigui, and let go of my heart, come, drink ......"
"Brother Yang! The younger brother is about to die, he went to see Su Shangshu, but Su Shangshu refused to meet him, Zhang Xianggong never returned to Beijing, and the younger brother can't think of any way now! You're good, you're still like a person who is fine, aren't you afraid that Ling Tang won't be able to stand this news? ”
Yang Yi saw that Qin Zigui was sincere, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't bear it, so he said: "Zigui, don't worry, the foolish brother has a sense of proportion, don't worry, the foolish brother will be fine!" ”
"This person is in prison, and you still say it's okay?"
"Zigui, don't worry, the foolish brother has another purpose in doing this, you will understand it after listening to my detailed explanation."
"What other intentions, Brother Yang say quickly!"
