Chapter 077: Lovers in the Rain
In the past, the families of the officials and gentry did not have to pay taxes, and in addition to the large amount of land they themselves annexed, many ordinary people took the initiative to send fields to their names to avoid the taxes of the imperial court.
Many scholars were originally poor in their families, but once they were admitted to the meritorious service, they could immediately become rich overnight, because they could be exempted from taxes with their fame, and many people would take the initiative to come to the door and send their fields to their names, which was of course not gratuitous; they did not have to spend a penny to buy land, and they could collect a large amount of rent every year, while the imperial court lost a lot of taxes because of this.
Now Shaosheng's new tax law is to tax per mu, no matter whose name you own the field, the imperial court will collect taxes on as many acres as you measure, so that the problem of land annexation can be greatly suppressed, and at the same time, this kind of tax evasion by the gentry and the treacherous by large households can be eliminated; As long as the new tax law can be implemented smoothly, the annual tax payment of the imperial court will definitely increase several times. There is no need to engage in any kind of market change law, equalization law, and forced loan of green seedling money like Wang Anshi, which can also make the country abundant.
It can be said that Wang Anshi is a sword that goes off the rails, and now he is a big sword and a straight split.
If the new tax law wants to be implemented smoothly, there is still a procedure to go, that is, to clear the land, and at the same time to demarcate the land, according to the grade of the land to implement different tax rates, this is a huge project, but also a terrible drudgery, the second day of the promulgation of the new tax law, Cai Jing's household department set up a clear field division, responsible for the national land measurement work, the clear field division has the right to mobilize local soldiers, government servants to help leisure, the power is amazing.
At the same time, the Imperial Envoy sent several inspectors to each road to supervise the land clearance work.
These are not enough, in order to succeed, the emperor needs unwavering support, and a vigorous and resolute power core, which Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian are very competent for, and this new tax law seems to be tailor-made for them.
In less than half a month, there were four high-ranking officials of Luzhi, 11 governors were demoted, and the officials of the six ministries and nine temples of the DPRK and the Central Committee were demoted as many as 30 people, all of which were opposed to the new tax law, including not only the old party, but also a few officials of the new party.
Whoever shouts the loudest opposition will let you go to Lingnan and roar against the monkeys! No matter how deep your roots are, no matter how deep you are, you can't get as deep as the emperor!
When Yang Yi went to Baowen Pavilion to treat him, he found that Zhao Xu asked Jiao Shou to find a big box, and all the pieces that opposed the new law were thrown in, and in just half a month, eight large boxes were collected.
As the initiator of the new law, Yang Yi's voice scolding him was far less than that of the resolute Zhang Dian, and most people even suspected that Yang Yi was just a pawn pushed out by Zhang Dian to take the lead, and the new tax law was simply what Zhang Dian meant. Moreover, when Yang Yi spoke for Fan Chunren and Su Shi, many old party officials changed their attitudes towards him a lot, and some even regarded him as their own, at least Li Gefei was like this.
Yang Yi was secretly amused, in fact, he was instigating Zhang Duan to launch a new round of crackdown on the diehards of the old party, and it was one thing to win over Fan Chunren and them, but for the soul of the old party like Sima Guang, Yang Yi definitely advocated smashing their tablets to pieces, turning them from gods to demons, and leaving them stinking for thousands of years.
Beishanzi Tea Shop on the old Caomen Street, Yang Yi sat on the second floor as a window, he was resting today, wearing a Confucian shirt with big sleeves fluttering, and sitting opposite was Su Sanniang, with a thin shirt and a light snail, as bright as a peony that had just opened.
With the efforts of Yang and Mo, the marriage contract of the two has been decided, and Yang Yi finally learned that her girlfriend's name is Su Qing, and the two met by chance on the street, Yang Yi invited her to this place where they first met to taste tea, and her hair bun was wrapped with a five-colored tassel thread to be married!
At first, Thirteen Niang looked a little embarrassed, but after chatting for a while, she said a little excitedly: "I made the water drawer, everyone said it was very easy to use, and now I am making the bicycle you said, and the rest is easy to do, but the chain is a little troublesome, can you help me think of a way!" ”
Ming'er stood behind her and quietly touched her, and even Yang Yi saw Ming'er's small movements, but Su Qing was still unaware.
The smile on Yang Yi's face remained unchanged, but in his heart, he seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he blamed himself for his stinky mouth, what kind of bicycle did he tell her at the beginning? His gaze fell on Su Qing's hand without a trace, fortunately, the ten fingers were as delicate as jade, and there was no tendency to calluse, probably she was only responsible for design and command!
"Tell me about it! Is there a good way to do it? ”
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Cast each piece separately and connect it again!" ”
"That's what I'm doing now, but there's so much scrap that I can only use it, and I just want to know if there's any better way for you?"
"No, that's the only way, some things are very simple, but it's hard to do, because we can't achieve the desired effect when processing components." Speaking of this, Yang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Lady, please use tea!" ”
Su Qing's face turned red suddenly, men call unmarried women generally little ladies, and now Yang Yi intentionally or unintentionally omitted the small characters, no different from calling himself daughter-in-law, Ming'er stood aside and couldn't help laughing, the willows by the window swayed gently in the wind, and the red faces in the window complemented each other, turning into a beautiful picture of green willows and red flowers.
Ming'er laughed and said, "Uncle......"
"Hey!"
When Yang Yi heard the word uncle, he felt interesting, and he deserved to be so happy, not only did Ming'er smile, but Su Qing couldn't help but pout and glance at him, Yang Yihun smiled indifferently, and raised his hand to signal Ming'er to continue.
"Uncle, why don't you take my lady to the fairy bridge for a walk!"
"Good idea, little lady please!"
There is a fairy bridge fairy cave in front of the Beishanzi tea shop, the ancient trees are shady and the water is murmuring, the cloister shines on the water and the pavilion is close to the mountain, it is a rare and good place for leisure in the city of Tokyo, and the ladies and ladies love to play here.
Yang Yi and the others went to visit the fairy cave first, Su Jing was always two steps behind, Yang Yi always had to turn back when he spoke, his neck was about to twist, he stopped, Su Qing also stopped, and always kept a distance of two steps from him, Yang Yi lamented: "Thirteen Niang, am I only more attractive with my back?" ”
Su Qing stirred her shallot-like fingers, and said with a sneer: "What are you talking about!" I'm a woman, how can I walk side by side with you? ”
"But I can't look back!"
"Who told you to look back?"
Yang Yi simply turned around and looked at her quietly for a while, before he said infinitely affectionately: "Thirteen Niang, even if you put aside your alluring appearance, we have already made a marriage, which means that we will hold hands in this life; You're everything when you're by my side! How can I rest assured that you will be out of my sight? ”
It turns out that Su Qing's IQ is directly proportional to her beauty, but it is not easy to fool, after listening to Yang Yi's affectionate confession, although the expression on her face was embarrassed, she still pouted and asked, "What about when I am not by your side?" ”
"It's all yours!"
Yang Yi replied with great firmness and infinite affection, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt in the sky, and the rumbling thunder seemed to explode overhead, which shocked Yang Yi's face pale, God! But tell a white lie to coax your own lady, as for it!
Fortunately, Su Qing was also taken aback by this sudden thunder, and she didn't notice the changing look on Yang Yi's face, she looked up at the sky with her hand over her forehead, and said, "It's going to rain!" Let's go back! ”
It's too late, the summer rain is coming, and before the two of them have taken a few steps, the raindrops have fallen.
"Hide over here first!"
Yang Yi took Su Qing's hand and pulled her to run under a few banana trees next to her, fortunately, the rain stopped, the rain hit the banana leaves, the sound was like a rhyme, and the surroundings quickly became confused, the two of them stood under the banana leaves, sticking very close, Yang Yi could clearly smell the faint body fragrance on her body, such as Lan Qingya, refreshing.
Yang Yi is half a head taller than her, and looking down from the side, you can see half of her fair pink face, long eyelashes fluttering a few times from time to time, and the most important thing is the cherry mouth, glowing with a warm luster, which can easily lead people to reverie.
Although Su Qing lowered her eyes, she could feel that he was looking at herself, her cheeks slowly became hot, and the flush on her cheeks made her even brighter.
"You...... You let go! Su Qing finally couldn't help but raise her head and said reservedly.
"Don't let go, hold the hand of the son, and be in harmony with the son!" How could Yang Yi be willing to let go, Su Qing's fingers were round and slender, and they felt very good in his hand, smooth and soft.
Su Qing didn't expect him to be so domineering, so she could only blush-face and beg: "Let go, what if someone else sees it?" ”
It was indeed seen, the eldest princess of Kang Guo and a few playmates were on a high pavilion dozens of steps away, she first saw Yang Yi, her heart was happy, and she was about to go down to clean him up, but that day in the wind pool Yang Yi decoupled without saying a word, causing her to be busy for a long time, and sad for a long time, and there was a big battle, but when Jiao Shou came back and said that this guy was fine, she was angry! If it hadn't been for Zhao Xu's persuasion, she would have killed Yang Yi's house at that time.
The eldest princess of Kang Guo was about to go downstairs, and suddenly saw a girl beside Yang Yi, as Yang Yi bent down, the girl's slender figure was revealed, although it was separated by the rain curtain, but the beauty of the immortal Qifan that day could not be concealed, and the eldest princess of Kang couldn't help but stop her steps.
The misty rain curtain makes the picture of the two of them hiding from the rain under the banana leaves as beautiful as a quiet ink painting, the man is handsome and extraordinary, the woman is fairy, and the two are intimate I don't know how many people envy them, but for some reason, the eldest princess Kang Guo felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't tell the truth, anyway, she was uncomfortable.
When Yang Yi straightened up, he already had an extra dagger in his hand, only to see him jump up hard, cut off three banana leaves with the dagger, and then stack them together and raise them on the girl's head, blocking the increasing rain, the scene was warm and moving, but the eldest princess of Kang felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, her chest seemed to be filled with something, and she couldn't help but shout to the guards behind her: "Li Yizhong!" Aren't you a hundred steps through the Yang? Come here, shoot me off the plantain leaf in that guy's hand! Fast! ”
Several girls beside her couldn't help but wonder: "Siniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Leave it alone! Li Yizhong! Don't hurry up yet! ”
"Eldest Princess! Isn't that good? In case of shooting on someone......"
"Li Yizhong, you don't give me a sloppy eye, you can shoot down two sparrows with one arrow, don't you know? You shudder again, ten boards! ”
Li Yizhong saw that the eldest princess was really angry, so he had to take off the bow and arrow behind him, he was the best person in the bow and arrow value, the distance of forty or fifty steps, he was indeed nine out of ten, Zhang Gong only aimed slightly, the bowstring was loosened, and the arrow was like a meteor in the rain.
The sound of the rain hitting the plantain made Yang Yi's six senses dull a lot, and when he realized that it was not good, it was too late, poof, the banana leaf in his hand was broken into two, and the rain sprinkled them both, Su Qing still couldn't figure out what was going on, Yang Yi had picked up her very quickly and flashed to the stone a few steps away, and the dizziness of the clouds made Su Qing exclaim.
"Don't move, lady! Someone is throwing cold arrows at us! After arriving at the stone, Yang Yi protected Su Qing behind him, and then quietly poked his head out to inspect the situation, his first suspicion was the Maitreya Sect, and only the Maitreya Sect would put himself to death by such unscrupulous means.
However, the scene he saw made him very angry, he saw the eldest princess Kang smiling proudly on the opposite pavilion, the guards beside her were still holding a big bow in their hands, the matter couldn't be clearer, Yang Yi walked out from behind the stone and looked at her coldly, the eldest princess Kang usually doesn't care too much about how he makes trouble, but this time it has exceeded the bottom line in his heart, these dozens of steps away from the arrow, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, this is a joke with his own and Su Qing's lives!
The eldest princess of Kang Guo in the pavilion couldn't laugh anymore, Yang Yi's indifferent eyes made her very uncomfortable, and the whole person seemed to be under a fixed spell, stunned and motionless.
Yang Yi ignored her, took off the robe on her body and put it on Su Qing to comfort her: "Thirteen Niang, it's okay, a lawless stinky girl is just playing a prank, come!" I'll send you home! ”
In this midsummer weather, she already had to wear a lot, and the Luo clothes on Su Qing's body were wet, and her delicate figure was suddenly revealed, so Yang Yi had to take off her robe to wrap her.
Su Qing wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, and Ren Yangyi pulled her back.
"Yang Yi! Stop! ”
Yang Yi turned around and saw that the eldest princess of Kang Guo had rushed out of the pavilion, ignoring the calls of everyone behind her, she ran to this side in the rain, and her body was soon wet with rain, but she didn't care at all, Yang Yi couldn't help frowning, and pulled Su Qing to continue walking.
"Stop me, Yang Yi! You're not standing still! Why are you glaring at me like that! Why? Why? Why? ”
The eldest princess of Kang Guo asked one after another with a crying voice, the rain flowed down her hair to her cheeks, she didn't wipe it, and several palace maids behind her caught up, holding a guard's robe to be draped on her, but she pushed it away vigorously, her eyes couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, her eyes were red, and she looked at Yang Yi with a little stubbornness.
"Eldest princess, if you want the life of the lower official, just say it, anyway, you are a princess on the top, and the lower official is just an ant in your eyes, but you shouldn't affect the innocent."
"You...... What did you say? Who wants your life? I...... Li Yizhong's archery technique ...... "Princess Kangguo was incoherent, Yang Yi's indifferent question made her eyes misty, astringent, hot, she tried hard to explain to Yang Yi, but the sour feeling in her heart made her choked, she didn't even know why she wanted to explain to this guy.
After Su Qing learned that the girl in front of her was actually a princess, she broke away from Yang Yi's hand and said, "Little girl Su Qing meets the eldest princess!" ”
"Who are you? You go away! Go away! It's all because of you! The eldest princess of Kang Guo couldn't explain clearly for a while, and her heart was already very uncomfortable, Su Jing blocked between her and Yang Yi, and couldn't help but make her feel a strong resentment, crying and shouting to push Su Qing away.
Su Qing was suddenly pushed to the ground, stained with muddy water, Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Su Qing, and never looked at the eldest princess of Kang Guo again, just hugged Su Qing and walked away in the rain!
"Yang Yi, you stop! You stand still......"
Watching Yang Yi fade away, the eldest princess of Kang Guo shouted loudly in the rain, her heart was in chaos, her voice was full of stubbornness and helplessness, salty tears flowed into her mouth in strings, and when Yang Yi's figure finally disappeared, only the misty rain curtain was left in front of her, and the strength of her body seemed to be suddenly evacuated, and her body fell to the ground softly, and she began to cry.
There are some things in life that seem to have been had, but they seem to be lost!
