What is an iron plate? The six tigers of the Zhang family will know what an iron plate is today!

As a humble guest of Zheng Lang and Lu Yijian's family, he can't hurt people at will. But Jiang Xing'er is Zheng Lang's personal concubine, and she is the family member of the five-grade member of the imperial court.

It was not the turn of the Yang brothers and Zheng San to hammer up, and Ding Sheng rushed out.

On the boat, sometimes the four of them practice, stretch out their fists, move their muscles and bones, and they have not competed with each other, and they don't know. The actual skill is Ding Sheng's best. Otherwise, Lu Yijian would not have sent him alone to protect Lu Gongzhu's safety.

The six tigers of the Zhang family are very fierce and strong, plus a few tenants who want to tie up, but even they may not be Ding Sheng's opponents.

Seeing them menacing, rush over and pk up.

The Yang family brothers are not weak, and there is also a Zheng San hammer, the official did not react, and more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground. Except for Zheng San, who received two old punches with a hammer and was bruised on his face, the other three were very relaxed, and they didn't sweat a drop down.

Then the Yang brothers asked Ding Sheng, Brother Ding, you are too powerful, can you teach us. None of the dozen or so people who fell asleep on the ground looked at it with their eyes.

The six tigers of the Zhang family screamed in pain and called: "Wang Zhizhou, you want to make decisions for us." ”

Wang Zhizhou was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, the story of Zheng Zhuangyuan and this concubine, may I ask, where has the Song Dynasty not heard of it except for those places in Lingnan and Xiangxi? That is the lifeblood of others, and even the Empress Dowager Liu deliberately announced that they would enter the palace to take a look.

If you come up, you will mistreat others, and Lao Tzu will still make the decision for you, and it will be a good thing not to kick you a few times!

Zheng Lang was also anxious, hundreds of fishing boats surrounded him, and the small boat was in the middle, and he walked to a small fishing boat on the very edge and said, "Whose boat is this, can you take me back to shore?" ”

The people of the two states made his blood boil, and it was their honor to get on their boat, so do you need to say it? The Lord was a middle-aged fisherman, happily carrying him back to shore.

Pretending not to know, he looked at his clothes, there were more than a dozen people, six of them were gorgeously dressed and tall, about the six tigers of the Zhang family, and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you attack the family of this officer? ”

Ask knowledgeable.

The gentleman doesn't use his mouth, he can distinguish a few words, but if he uses his hands and legs, the six tigers will be in great trouble.

Zheng Lang is the champion of the new department, there are five-grade officials, there are five-grade bad officials, there are pavilion officials, there are literary officials, strictly speaking, they can be called middle-level officials, even higher than Cui Youjie's level. What is the crime of attacking his family in broad daylight as a civilian?

The six tigers didn't react at first, seeing the hatred in the eyes of the officials, especially Wang Zhizhou, at this time he didn't want to do much, so he quickly handed over and left, but this happened again, and the hatred can be imagined. gradually woke up to the fact that his paper tiger had provoked a real tiger.

stopped shouting in pain, turned over and said, "I don't know, I don't know if it's Dr. Zheng's family, damn it." ”

The big tiger and the second tiger slapped themselves with their hands.

"If it's not for my family, can I do anything wrong?"

"We ......"

After Zheng Lang asked, he withdrew to the side, there was no handover, and Wang Zhizhou had to come. It's not a matter of the lake, it's mediation, and it doesn't matter.

Wang Zhizhou reluctantly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

In a normal procedure, there is a cause before there is an effect.

Zhang Dahu replied: "We don't know, I heard that someone deliberately destroyed my family's cocoon, came to take a look, and destroyed it...... Many, chase over. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Lang carefully.

"The destroyer should be compensated, and the compensation should be doubled, Wang Zhizhou, the beach occupied by his family is not far from here, you send a servant to take a look." Zheng Lang said.

So easy to talk to?

But after Zheng Lang said this, he didn't pay attention to the matter, because the fishermen came ashore one after another, ashamed and excited, and some people were curious, and dared to ask: "Champion Gong, what can you do to turn this place into a golden land?" ”

"Yes, there are some ways, if not, how will I face you in the future? But can you allow me to sell a pass? ”

Everyone cheered, and then apologized to Wang Zhizhou and Li Ruogu.

Li Ruogu asked Wang Yi: "What did Dr. Zheng say?" ”

Wang Yi thought about it carefully, but in fact, he didn't say anything, only said some reasonable and heartwarming words, but when he saw the people of the two state capitals apologizing and laughing together, he had to shake his head. Then everyone looked at the six tigers of the Zhang family again, some people knew each other, and they also saw the scene of the fight on the shore just now, what is this? Your grandmother's can't be so domineering that even the family members of Xinzhizhou dare to move.

Didn't ask.

The officials are back, how much money can Bai Bai be worth in Jiangnan? How much strength can there be, not even a handful of tools, but it looks embarrassing, and it is unkempt and destroys many leaves, as if it had ruined many whites.

Zheng Lang asked: "Poor brother, estimate it, estimate more, you can't estimate it less, how much money has you ruined?" ”

"It won't be less than a hundred dollars." The official replied honestly.

"It won't exceed a hundred dollars, in broad daylight, the officials of the two state capitals, and the county officials of the two counties are all here, so you dare to forcibly arrest people? Who gave you the guts! Zheng Lang suddenly shouted.

Zheng Lang was very disgusted by some bad landlords occupying the fields and mountains, and the other was the monk.

Hugh had to underestimate the monk.

The monks of the Song Dynasty were not later monks, if they relied on some incense money to live like Zhishuo, it would be fine, after all, the purpose of Buddhism was originally to promote good and eliminate evil, and the people should also have a faith, so that they will not be pessimistic when they encounter difficulties. But most of the monks of the Song Dynasty were occupying good land and lending usury.

How big it is is is beyond the imagination of future generations. Monks in Fuzhou account for less than 200 percent of the local population, but they account for more than 17.0 percent of the land and 25 percent of the gardens, mountains, ponds, and weirs, which are still the best places. The famous Shaolin Temple monk, with a wave of his hand, Shaolin Mountain and other mountains are all our Shaolin Temple, since the Tang Dynasty, has been a temple property. If there is a chopping wood strayed into the minefield, the Shaolin warrior monk came out, the Shaolin kung fu came out, and the firewood people were beaten and fled, Zheng Lang saw it with his own eyes. For this reason, he discerned a few words with a few monks of Shaolin Temple, when he was still young, his prestige was not great, and he did not listen, but he was reasonable, and he revealed the matter in a sneering manner.

The noble bodies of the great monks would not cultivate it themselves, and these fields were occupied by the mountains and rivers, and they did not pay taxes, so they handed them over to the common people for cultivation at a rate of five or five.

On the surface, the same as for the people, the tenant of the landlord's house must also be rented. In fact, otherwise, large tracts of land were occupied and hidden, and so many expenses of the imperial court were indispensable, so they had to be spread on the people, which in turn increased the burden on the people. The cycle continues.

Sometimes Zheng Lang thinks of this verse, and he is very powerless, because the two worlds, no system, no country, have not solved this problem.

It can only be said that like gossip, if it is properly reconciled, the time will stay longer at the best moment of this hexagram, but in the end, this hexagram will always have to be turned over.

This is explained in terms of the Chinese Confucian I Ching.

In the words of posterity, there is no eternal country.

Compared with the two, the former has a greater hidden danger.

But most of them are like this, they can't say it clearly, and they don't want all kinds of bad things to happen in their jurisdiction, so it just so happens that the six tigers of the Zhang family have become the chicken of his monkey.

And he is too young, I am afraid that the people will look down on him, and he will stand up for what he wants.

And he faintly knows some things in the countryside, there are many brothers in the family, others will be very afraid, if the brothers are tall and big, and the family is rich and powerful, then these brothers, like the six tigers of the Zhang family, will become six tigers.

Send it to the door and let him stand up!

"How big is that piece of land, and some of the other Zetu?" Zheng Lang asked Third Uncle Lu.

I didn't ask the officials, I don't know the depth and shallowness, I may answer honestly, maybe the disasters are connected together, and I will be transferred after a few years, but the officials and the Zhang family will live in this land for the rest of their lives.

So he asked Uncle Lu San, and after talking, he had a very high status in the Lu family, and he was the younger brother of Lu Yijian, and he was once in charge of many family businesses for the Lu family. Lu Yijian asked him to accompany Lu Gong to Jiangnan is fake, but he actually sent an assistant to himself, which is also a way to thank him.

Uncle Lu said: "In the past, I managed some family businesses for Lu Xianggong, and I once measured the acres of land by hand. I took a look, and there were a lot of white lotus roots, lotus roots, and some nets planted in that tidal flat, with an area of about six or seven hundred acres. ”

When the six tigers of the Zhang family heard Lu Xianggong, their faces turned even paler. Lu Xianggong, that is the cow man who dares to pull the queen off the horse, for them, it is too far away. However, in front of me, it seems that I have actually touched a little edge, and it is still a bad side.

However, Third Uncle Lu deliberately said it.

has the same psychology as Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang talked about Zhao Zhen, and Uncle Lu talked about Lu Jianyi, all of them cheered for Zheng Lang, afraid that he would be despised if he was young. In a few years, with political achievements and growth, there will be no need for this.

Zheng Lang asked, "The Zhang family, but it's all your family's property?" ”

The six tigers of the Zhang family nodded, and there is, this is less to say!

"The tidal flats and lakes are all the places of the imperial court, why did they become your family's property?"

"That's what my family has been growing for generations."

"In this way, with a wave of your hand, plant in the east and plant in the west, and the entire Taiping Prefecture will become your family's industry?"

"But ......"

"But what? The imperial court allowed the people to plant and fish by the lake, the original intention was to give the poor people more vitality, is your family also lacking vitality, waiting to be fed, need this lake relief, even so, it is impossible to have such a vast lake to feed your family, right? ”

The fishermen around laughed.

"The court said that the open land allows the people to cultivate, and it will be a permanent industry."

"Yes, it is the decree of Taizong in the first year of Dao, and the open land should be supervised by the state capitals, and the people should be allowed to ask for tenants, so that it will be a permanent industry, and it will still be exempted from rent for three years, and one-tenth of the foreign export tax for three years. His Majesty issued an edict at the beginning of the year, and those who have been in circulation for ten years will be allowed to plough their fields, and after three years, they will be given half of the old amount. Later, he issued an edict that those who can recover from the exiles will be given the same way,"

Far more than these two edicts, from Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, to Song Zhenzong, to Zhao Zhen, many edicts, as long as it is wasteland, no matter who it is, if you have the ability to open up wasteland, you can become the owner of this land, and there are a series of policy care, exempt from taxes for three years, and after three years, continue to enjoy tax reduction for a long time.

The Zhang brothers turned this matter out to say that the imperial court also allowed the rich to open up the wasteland, not only to take care of the poor.

Zheng Lang continued: "In this case, you go home and calculate, since the year of reclamation, the tax for three years, and half of the tax will be paid in the future, how much has been paid, and how much has not been paid, and it will be paid clearly at the county office." Xing'er, take two hundred dollars from the boat and repay it to the Zhang family. ”

"Whoa."

That's where it's the hardest.

According to the regulations, these mountains also have to pay taxes, but most of the occupants are poor, so the court does not attach much importance to this area. Later, the quality of the surname gradually changed, and it was also a category that could not be handed over. But if Zheng Lang forcibly levies taxes, it is not impossible.

It is to do things according to the rules, and when it is transmitted to the capital, there will be no ministers who oppose it.

"Champion Gong, I heard that you are a good person, spare us," the six tigers of the Zhang family wilted, can you make up for it? Selling all the Ze that his family owned could not make up the tax.

"I never said I was a good person, I can only say not to be a bad person. Passing by your house, the concubine saw that the piece of white was growing well, and happily broke it, and the fisherman said that it could not be moved, but it was your family's property. The concubine was puzzled and asked, seeing that we were strangers, and the fishermen were even more afraid, so we were asked to leave quickly. There is only one white cocoon, which makes the fisherman afraid of it! Zhang family, it can be seen that your family usually acts. Yes, I studied Confucianism, and I will study Confucianism in the future, Confucianism is based on benevolence and righteousness, benevolence, love for others, righteousness is the festival of benevolence, and benevolence is the foundation of righteousness. What is righteousness? Righteousness, the right path of man, righteousness, the heart of shame, it is the opposite of benevolence, but also the norm of it, with benevolence, and temperance with benevolence. Therefore, the "Book of Rites" says, in addition to the harm of heaven and earth, it is called righteousness. For you, if this official is benevolent, then what will tens of thousands of poor people in Taiping Prefecture do in the future? ”

Not only does the law of the country not allow you, but Confucius is also in favor of getting rid of you pests!

After speaking, he got on the boat and handed it over to Wang Zhizhou to deal with.

Let's go!

Before leaving, this problem must be solved before you are let go.

Wang Anshi ran faster than a rabbit, so it's better to leave early, otherwise his father would be beaten again when he thinks about it.

…… The boat turned back to the Shuiyang River, but turned to the east, and the mouth of the Shuiyang River in addition to the one that joins the Qingyi River, there is also an eastward flow, which directly enters the Taipingkou from Dangtu and enters the Yangtze River.

From this waterway to Dangtu City, and then buy a house, at this time, officials rarely engage in image projects, and there is a possibility of a waste, so that the official will be stared at the end. In this way, it is better to put the benefits in your pocket, so the state and county governments rarely repair them.

There are many people with you, so you need to buy a house to settle down first.

On the Dongshuiyang River, there are more houses on both sides.

Wuhu County has a small population, seven or eight thousand households, and Fanchang County has even less, only about five or six thousand households, and most of the people are concentrated in Dangtu County.

The house has some of the style of Jiangnan Ju'an, with high walls, snow-white lime, small cyan tiles on the roof, and smart small cornices. There are also many thatched houses, which cannot be avoided, and there are many thatched houses on the edge of Kaifeng City.

Wang Anshi asked, "Doctor Zheng, how did you resolve this conflict just now?" ”

"Yes, can you tell me," Lu Gongshu also asked excitedly. On the shore, I first hung my heart, and then the more I looked at it, the more amazing it became, it was incredible.

Those who also want to be taught, will say it again, saying: "Things must grasp the key points, first of all, you have to be attentive, only with the love of the people, words and deeds will be for their sake." Ordinary people are just illiterate, but they are not nerds, they can't say it, they can feel it. Take the case, otherwise the Gao family will not be convinced, and this dispute will still not be able to be stopped. Sketch out a beautiful blueprint for them and give them confidence in the future. If you persuade again, you won't want to work hard. ”

Jizi pondered for a moment.

Sima Guang said: "Doctor Zheng, I also feel that Linjiang Temple is a little strange. ”

"Not necessarily, even if it's weird, we can't move."

"Why?" Lu Gong asked.

"The consequences of it are very large, and I have to do a few things to convince the people before I can move it, otherwise the matter will become more troublesome than the dispute on the lake." If there is a rumor in the imperial court, don't do anything else, and you may transfer me back to the capital. Do things to distinguish the priority, at least keep everything done to have a purpose, if there is no use, then it is better not to do it, but to reduce disputes. To do something, you must have a rational action, and this is also the wisdom that the Master said. Another example is the six evil cats just now......"

Laughing down a lot.

"It can only be aimed at these six cats, there are too many fields occupied by the powerful and monks in the country, and the consequences will be very serious in the long run. In particular, the emperor is soft, not only encroaching, but also hiding the fields. But can you move it? ”

It is also one of the strange places in the Song Dynasty, when Zhao Kuangyin had less than 300 million mu of cultivated land, and by the time of Song Zhenzong, it reached more than 520 million mu, including the fields of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty, in fact, more of them were newly reclaimed. However, the more fields were cultivated, the fewer acres of land reported by the state, and more than ten years later, Zhao Zhen sent people to count that there were only 220 million mu, which actually shrank by more than half.

Tax evasion!

The Song Dynasty punished the evils of the Tang Dynasty, and the land was also taxed, and the people were also taxed, so there were less than two people in a household, and the land was the same.

Wordless. The Zheng family is better, and the Sima family and the Lu family are also among the magnates who encroach on the land.

"Do you want it?" Wang Anshi asked.

Zheng Lang smiled, and then Wang Anshi searched the land very well, but only succeeded a small half, the new law failed, and said: "You can't follow it with it, but you must act safely, most of these people are the elite of the whole country, reckless and impatient, either fail, add uneasy shocks to the country, or follow in the footsteps of Wang Mang's change of law." ”

"How?"

"I didn't think about it, I didn't even think about it, and it's not what we're thinking about now."

The boat went down the river and soon arrived in Taipingzhou, taking Uncle Lu to play many roles, using him as a concealment, using him as a paper tiger, and using him to shop and buy a house. After only a short time when Uncle Lu went ashore, he bought a house with two entrances and exits.

In front is a large iron gate, two wings on both sides, behind is a two-story building, six on the top and six, and four more on the west side, which can be used as a utility room and kitchen. The price is also good, only 300 yuan. The location is also good, some distance from the street, relatively quiet, but very close to the state government.

This is a house of a merchant eunuch, the owner went to Wenzhou, and there was no one else in the family, so he sold it at a low price. Hearing that it was the champion who came to live, the old housekeeper did not let Uncle Lu make a counteroffer, so he offered the lowest price. The only thing that is not beautiful is that the patio is too small, two old locust trees, a pomegranate tree, two peony flowers, an ancient well, a stone table, six stone benches, and there is not much spare space.

Start moving things.

Looking at the city of Taipingzhou, there is finally a decent city wall, in which many families live, and there are many shops along the street, and people come and go. Si'er said: "This time it's like a city." ”

"What you don't understand, Wuhu will be more like a city than Dangtu in the future."

Entered the new house, settle down, one is the gatehouse in the east and the other is the gatehouse, this gatehouse can't let Uncle Lu do it, it is an insult to Uncle Lu San, and a loyal person must be invited from the local area. The west hatchback made a study. The middle four of the six rooms above were left for four students, and on the west side lived the three little maids of Lu Gongzhu and Yan Rong, Li'er, Ming'er, and Yun'er. On the east side live Sima Guang and Wang Anshi's three little maids, Zhu'er, Zhao'er, and Rui'er.

The fourth child asked: "So where does Dr. Zheng live?" ”

"I live below, as a family, so I don't have to be so particular, and I'm not allowed to think cranky." The two west rooms below are reserved for Uncle Lu, Ding Sheng, and the Yang family brothers, and the living rooms of the remaining two middle rooms, and the east is Zheng Lang and Jiang Xing'er's own.

Cui Xian didn't come, otherwise it would still be very crowded, there were too many people.

After cleaning up, the door was closed, and the door was not handed over, and the door continued to be closed.

But after dinner, Zheng Lang said, "We will be in Linjiang Temple tomorrow." ”

"Okay," Si'er said.

"None of the ladies in the family can go."

"Da Lang ......"

"It's useless to beg."

Sima Guang thought for a moment and said, "Little Master, listen to Dr. Zheng's words this time. ”

In case the guess is true, then it is really impossible to go!

But this case is very important, and we need to look at it first.
