Chapter 47 The Wheel of History Rolls Forward

After Wang Dalun was released, he didn't stop at all, he hurried directly, he would rather go to the town to rest than see Lu Zhixian again. In his opinion, Lu Zhixian is already a dead man!

The follow-up development of the matter was as Wang Dalun expected, when Wang Dalun arrived in Dai County, he received a report from Huang Yan through the post station express horse. The day after Wang Dalun left, Lu Zhixian was taken by Jinyiwei.

Originally, Wang Dalun thought that it was Wang Chengen who made the shot, but he guessed wrong, it was Wei Zhongxian who made the shot, because of Li Fan and Lu Zhixian's unauthorized assertion, Wei Zhongxian was very passive, and the new emperor was originally on the throne, Wei Zhongxian made up his mind to act in a low-key manner.

I thought that his plan was all disrupted by Li Fan, first Li Fan's son Li Zhou's robbery of people's daughters, which was not a big deal, but it was linked to the Guanyin Temple monk's forced abduction of women.

Although the temple and the nunnery have always been a place to hide filth and dirt, the abduction of women rarely occurs in the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is purely a resounding slap in the face to the new emperor who has just ascended the throne.

When Wei Zhongxian was worried about this, Li Fan, a fool, made a stupid move again, he even instructed someone to try to take Wang Dalun on the same charge, but this fool didn't want to think about it, the emperor hasn't expressed his position on this matter, if you do this kind of thing again, won't the emperor hate you even more?

What's even more stupid is that people have seen through your scheme, and they dare to play such a thing as torture and beating, you really think that the court is your one, you can do whatever you want? Even emperors sometimes can't do what they want.

So Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong were very angry, very, very angry. The puppet was angry, but the blood was splashed five steps, and the nine thousand years old was angry, which was a shock!

The next day, Gonggong Wei ordered people to take Lu Zhixian and his whole family, accused of corruption and perversion of the law. And Li Fan was not good, Wei Gonggong made up his mind and was ready to give up Li Fan, so on the third day, an official who was also the imperial historian impeached Li Fan's godson without a way, causing him to harm the place.

With the appearance of the first impeachment, more impeachments flew into the celebrant like snowflakes, and even the scandal of Li Fan's picking up ashes was exposed. Everyone suddenly discovered that Li Fan, who is usually sanctimonious, turned out to be such a shameless person.

Under the joint efforts of both sides of the imperial court, Li Fan was originally dismissed from his post and went home to eat old rice, and was beaten to death by the villagers because he was found picking ashes with his daughter-in-law. But now, he has been thrown into prison, presumably to die of old age.

And the fate of the chess piece Lu Zhixian was even more tragic, because of corruption, he was directly beheaded, the male part of the family was castrated into the palace to do hard labor, and the female was sold into the Jiaole Workshop.

After this battle between the two sides, Wei Zhongxian's crisis was temporarily lifted, and Chongzhen also figured out the reality of the imperial court, so everyone died down again, ready to brew the next storm.

As for He Sangu, the chess piece of the chess piece, she saw the opportunity early, ran fast, and was not caught, but since then, she has never heard from her. Some people say that she has appeared in the Tusi Mansion, and there are even more outrageous, saying that they have seen her in Dongying.

"That's politics! There is no room for a little warmth, and if your mind is not bright, you should not mix in here. The future will not affect the whole family, in Daming, the whole family will suffer! Wang Dalun is very sympathetic to Lu Zhixian's experience.

Wang Dalun, who was in a good mood when the crisis was resolved, and everyone didn't buy anything in the capital, Wang Dalun, who was guilty, took everyone around the corner and went to Taiyuan to play. Everyone was very in favor of Wang Dalun's decision, and their eyes widened like wolves.

Under Wang Dalun's intentional or unintentional indulgence, Sun Liu's wallets quickly deflated, and all of them did not return at night, and within a few days, they all had a black circle under their eyes.

And although Wang Dalun goes occasionally, he is not as crazy as them, and he has to pay public food when he goes home. He likes to visit bookstores and buy calligraphy and paintings. Some paintings are national treasures left for future generations, in case future generations do not become a product, can't it be very comfortable to sell calligraphy and paintings?

Wang Dalun estimated that when they were about to run out of money, he called everyone to set off, and when they went up the Fen River, the news came that Wei Zhongxian was dismissed! The gentry were all overjoyed, and big families could be seen blowing firecrackers everywhere.

Some ordinary people saw large families setting off firecrackers, and they also set them up. Everyone was as lively and excited as the Chinese New Year.

"Hey! Wei Zhongxian is a pity! Wang Dalun stood at the window of the inn and said with a sigh.

"Young master, Wei Zhongxian has fallen, aren't you happy?" Wang Erzhu asked strangely.

"In fact, Wei Zhongxian is still a person who understands the suffering of the people, and with him, the court will not take the people too seriously. After the Donglin Party came to power, what would they do except infighting and exploiting the people? Wang Dalun sighed.

"It's ridiculous that the people are ignorant, listening to these gentry, they really think that Wei Zhongxian is a bad person. They don't understand that when the gentleman in their eyes comes to power, their hard days have just come! Wang Dalun looked at the happy people and said.

"Young Master, you're too alarmist, aren't you?" Wang Erzhu asked in disbelief.

"Am I right, you will know the truth in the future!" Wang Dalun stopped talking and looked out the window blankly.

When Wang Dalun and others returned to Xingxian, there was news that Wei Zhongxian was given death by Chongzhen, and with this news, there was also the news that the imperial court was going to levy "Liao salary".

"From now on, the people will be more miserable, and troubled times are coming!" Wang Dalun sighed.

"Why did Dalun go to the capital once and become so sentimental? Isn't this something we've foreseen? Fang Wenjin sat by the coals, took a sip of tea and said.

Now it's a cold winter, Wang Dalun went out this time, it was autumn when he went out, and it was already winter when he came back.

Wang Dalun tightened the leather jacket on his body and muttered: "How can it be so cold and freeze me to death!" "As a southerner, he was not used to the northern winters.

Wang Dalun put his hand towards the fire, felt a little warmer, and then slowly spoke: "On my trip to the capital, I saw that there are displaced people in the capital, and there are wasteland in the prefectures and counties I pass through, I am very anxious, the situation is more serious than we thought!" ”

"Yes, I thought that when the new emperor came to power, he should be sympathetic to the people's feelings and reduce the burden on the peasants, but who would have thought that he would have to levy more Liao salary as soon as he came. Liaodong is important, but Houjin is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and the instability of the people's hearts is the trouble of the henchmen! ”

Fang Wenjin covered his hands with a teacup and said very worriedly. Now that there are so many displaced people, there are already few people who farm the land, and the burden on the peasants is very heavy, and if the taxes are raised again, how much grain will the people who farm land have left in a year, will not force them to flee the famine?

"Yuan Chonghuan should be killed!" Qian Shijin said angrily on the side: "This crazy life, for his own soaring, actually made amazing words, and swore to promise to recover Liaodong in three years." Crazy life, damn it, kill it! ”

"So this is the reason why I can't get used to the so-called gentlemen of the Donglin Party, empty talk about misleading the country, and great achievements!" Fang Wenjin smiled bitterly.

"Coupled with the emperor's youthful temperament, it is also a great achievement, so the two hit it off!" Wang Dalun added.

"Those who mistake Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan also! Those who disturb the world will be levied more Liao! Qian Shijin concluded.

"You two dissipate your anger, Yuan Chonghuan will not end well in the future. This kind of madness, what can you do except speak wildly? Three years to recover Liaodong, hum, it's just a fool's dream! You can wait and see how he digs his own grave. Fang Wenjin sneered.

"Father-in-law, as soon as this levy is levied, there will be more displaced people, what will you do when the time comes?" Wang Dalun is very worried that Fang Wenjin will not be able to complete next year's taxes.

"This is a problem, but it's okay, as long as you recruit more homeless people and more people farm the land, I should be able to complete it." Fang Wenjin thought for a while and said.

"Father-in-law, I'll be responsible for the part that can't be completed, the people are too bitter, although I can't help the whole world, but I can help Xingxian County, do my best!" Wang Dalun is ready to help Fang Wenjin bear a little burden.

"No, I'm not in Xingxian in the future, do you want to help? And if you do your best in this kind of thing, no one will say that you are good, and will only slaughter you as a fat pig! If you don't want to go, charge less rent so that the tenants can fill their stomachs. ”

Fang Wenjin is worthy of being a master of human sophistication, pointing out the risks at a glance, everyone is not a widow, others are forced to pay taxes, you just need to loosen your fingers, what do you let others think, isn't it to make people hate you.

There are also people who are dripping with water, bowl of water hatred, you help pay every year, and when you don't help pay one day, do you say that everyone is grateful to you, or resentful of you? Then they'll take it for granted.

Wang Dalun thought about it, felt that Fang Wenjin was reasonable, and he didn't insist, he said: "I will collect less rent, and at the same time recruit more displaced people, and try to ensure the stability of Xingxian County." Now with the support of the princess, I am not afraid of attracting too many people to gossip! ”

"It's not enough, you have the support of the prince now, you might as well act bigger, I estimate that if you are levied, there will be more land sales, and there will be more escapees." You can buy all the land here, not only Xingxian, but also Linxian County, you can also buy more. ”

Fang Wenjin is even bolder now, he is ready to continue to expand the planting area and recruit more people, so that he will not be able to run away from the evaluation of local politics and people's happiness. Since there are conditions, you might as well be more courageous! Take a bigger step!

"In that case, uncle, do you have enough money?" Qian Shijin reminded on the side.

"It's not enough, but don't worry, I now have a new money-making project, and it shouldn't be lower than selling Diana pills." Wang Dalun said confidently.

"What are you going to sell?" Fang Wenjin asked curiously.

"I'm going to sell perfumes and toiletries, and now I'm just making samples, and I can't mass produce them yet, so I should be able to do it after a while."
