The master made a move, only in a moment.

There is an unwritten rule in the Daming Pavilion that once impeached, he must be suspended and go home and ask for resignation. This regulation is a little unfair in the eyes of later generations, what if it is the official who deliberately finds fault? Just make some trivial things out, today say that you have a loss of personal morality, and tomorrow you say that you are shallow and thin, so can you still do things? How else to lead the normal operation of the Ming Empire?

The logic of this unspoken rule is: if you can't convince the crowd, you shouldn't sit in that position.

And once there is a "resignation at home, you can chase the style of the court", this is not a simple rhythm of going home and begging. Adhering to the basic principle of "not punishing the doctor", you should be guilty of the crime or commit suicide. Forcing His Majesty the Emperor to torture you is disloyalty, and the sin is even greater.

After Xu Jie saw this killer move, he didn't react for a long time.

"The old man has been at home for a long time, and his brain is no longer flexible." Xu Jie laughed at himself.

Xu Yuanzuo can understand this: Do you tell an athlete to rest for half a year to see if he can still show the competitive state at his peak? It's the same with politics, once the string on your heart is loosened, it is naturally not as sharp as it was at its peak.

"The old man is still a little underestimated." Xu Jie said again: "In the old man's opinion, among the officials of the Taoist Sect, no one can say this. ”

Xu Yuanzuo searched in his mind, and he really couldn't remember the source of this sentence, and it was definitely not found in "The Biography of Xu Jie", and later papers only said that "everyone said it at the time", that is, "everyone said so at that time", it can be seen that most of them were made by the literati of the Qing Dynasty when they wrote the wild history of the Ming Dynasty.

"The qualifications of the grandchildren are probably not as good as those who are born in seven articles." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Jie said with a little meaning: "You don't have to be presumptuous. ”

"This is the case, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and the more my grandson sees that he is capable, the more afraid he is of meeting a master." Xu Yuanzuo didn't say the rest of the words. Needless to say.

Because the person who spoke to him was Xu Jie.

With Xu Jie's experience, how can he not know the truth of a master's tricks and instant life and death? If the trick simulated by Xu Yuanzuo is "Lingxi One Finger", then the few words that Xu Jie changed in the reverse Yan Song Shu back then were completely "flying immortals outside the sky".

The life and death of the chivalrous struggle is nothing more than five steps of blood. Next to the corpse road.

The life and death of political creatures are the decline and destruction of a family, and the overthrow of the imperial dynasty of the world.

"You have a solution." Xu Jie asked.

"You can plan it, let Hai Rui sit firmly in the position of Wu Fu, and protect my Xu family." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Do you know the cost?" Xu Jie asked.

"It's nothing more than a field." Xu Yuanzuo said lightly.

Yes, nothing more than fields.

As long as Xu Jie obediently retreats from the field, Hai Rui's position will naturally be stable, and his reputation will naturally rise to a higher level-look, he actually forced his benefactor to retire the field! Yo yo. That's still Xu Jie, Xu Huating!

However, how important is the status of the field in the Xu family?

Although Xu Yuanzuo doesn't know the specific book figures, he still has a concept. The Xu family operates cloth shops, tooth shops and other end businesses, with an annual income of about 100,000 taels of silver. The grain collected from the fields and the mulberry leaves from the mulberry garden are 80,000 taels when they are boiled down to the land income!

This is half of the Xu family's income.

How much do you have to retreat from the land to silence the Gao Party's officials? Does the emperor have an idea of the amount of land produced by the world's gentry? Do you know what kind of life a small landlord with a hundred acres of land leads?

Unless Xu Jieyi retreats to the end, he will leave a hundred acres of land to live a poor life. Directly become a "clean official", otherwise political enemies will not give up. They are fully capable. It is said that thousands of acres of land are like a big rebellion.

Xu Jie's life is close to the Great Consummation.

A young prodigy, a young handsome, a eunuch in the prime of life, an old man and a country; Politically he is a great minister, an academic generation of Confucianism, and an economically rich party...... His life experience is simply not inferior to that of the protagonist of the web novel.

The only thing that worries Xu Jie. It is the Xu family.

His bloodline, to be precise.

Land is the foundation of life, without land, how can the family take root?

Xu Jie shook his head slightly.

Xu Yuanzuo knew the land plot of the Chinese people. Even with the large-scale urbanization in later generations, people's old thinking has not changed: to start a family. Buy a house first.

Standing on someone else's land is always insecure.

"Grandson, I take the liberty of asking my father, how much land does our family have?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Xu Jie pondered for a moment: "About thirty or forty thousand acres." ”

- Trench! Your entry and exit is 10,000 acres!

Xu Yuanzuo smiled slightly: "Father, I'm afraid Haigangfeng doesn't believe it." ”

Xu Jie frowned and said, "What's not to believe in this?" With the title deed as the basis, can there still be white land? ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Father, my grandson is outside, I heard that ...... Our family has 240,000 acres of land. ”

Xu Jie was angry: "240,000 acres? Is the entire Huating County land my family? ”

-- The arable area of Huating County may not be 240,000 mu.

Xu Yuanzuo said secretly in his heart.

Although there is no clear land measurement data in this era, it is still very difficult to create 240,000 acres of land compared with the large-scale mechanized reclamation of wasteland in later generations.

Xu Jie ignored one thing, people always have adultery. Who said that your family is only in Huating Youtian? The entire Nanzhi, with the reputation of Xufu, where can it not occupy an area? Therefore, it is estimated that the Xu family has 800,000 mu of land, and Xu Yuanzuo is just afraid of scaring the old man, so he takes a small number.

As the first assistant minister, it is normal for the land under his name to be 30,000 or 40,000 mu. After Yan Song was raided, he also had 30,000 acres of land under his name. However, Yan Song's family has many relatives, not as weak as Xu Jie's family, especially his younger brother Xu Zhi also fell out with him, so the land actually occupied by the Yan family must be several times that of Xu Jie.

That's pretty much the limit. Even if the Chinese people have a land plot, they will not use all the money to buy land. What's more, the land under the name of the gentry accounts for the largest proportion of the treacherous mail. Solving the problem of enslavement for the same clan and fellow villagers, this is not only oppression, exploitation and encroachment, but also doing good deeds, and those who have no way to do it can't be thrown in!

"It's just that I don't know how much land the slave fox and the tiger are secretly encroaching upon." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Jie really woke up this time.

As early as the first year of Longqing, he and Gao Gong broke out in a political dispute for the first time, and the imperial history of the Gao Party impeached him for "the sons of the people rampant in the countryside" and "slaves encroaching on the land". However, it was a political dispute at that time, and the Gao Party was just opening its mouth, and there was not even a single evidence, it was all hearsay, of course Xu Jie believed in his son and family more, how could he believe in the dirty water splashed by political enemies?

Listening to Xu Yuanzuo's words, Xu Jie realized that he was probably also trapped.

I used to always look at other people's jokes, and I thought that someone was well-educated and had a good official reputation, but he couldn't control his son's slaves in the fish and meat township...... Now it's my turn to suffer, and it's really sour. (To be continued......)
