Fang Yingwu suddenly came to his senses, he obviously wanted to reconcile, and he couldn't let his cheap grandfather stir up trouble here-although he still didn't understand what Elder Wang wanted to do. He spoke again Mr. Li Yingzhen and said, "Actually, in my heart."

"Brother Qiu, don't worry!" Master Wang Shu slapped the case suddenly, interrupted Fang Yingwu's speech, and then said forcefully: "The old man will never watch you being bullied!" Although the Wang family is a big family in Suzhou, the old man is not easy to get along with! ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless, I really want to say, are you very familiar with me and Master Wang? The old man in front of him is completely like an elder who helps his relatives and does not help him, and desperately protects his calves, which is misaligned with his cognition.

If the historical record is true, this Wang Lao should be the selfless style of his family who can be sent to prison with his own hands even if he commits a crime, and it is impossible to protect the calf unprincipledly.

The politician is really not too simple, Fang Yingwu said helplessly: "Old Zhongcheng, below"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again, and Lord Wang Shu said domineeringly: "Don't worry! The old man is in charge of everything! ”

Mr. Li Yingzhen and Wang Shu have been friends for many years, of course he can see that Wang Shu is acting, but he can't see what medicine is sold in the gourd.

But the matter is still this matter, and Mr. Li asked: "Jie'an Gong, the Wang family entrusted me here, no matter what you think, you have to give a reply, you just say how to call me to reply!" ”

Wang Shu said in a big way: "If the Wang family is sincere, let an old man in charge come forward and then agree on a good place." The old man took Brother Qiu to talk to him. ”

Mr. Li nodded and said, "That's fine." I'm going to tell them. Then he got up and took his leave.

Wang Shu's status is noble, so he doesn't need to send guests too far. asked Fang Yingwu to send the guests out for him.

When he arrived outside the gate, Mr. Li said to the other party: "Fang Xiaoyou, please stay." If you have the strength in the future. You can go and persuade my son-in-law again. ”

Fang Yingwu was puzzled: "Who is Ling's son-in-law?" ”

"The one you've seen is called Zhu Yunming."

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh secretly, these celebrities in Wuzhong are really intertwined, closely linked through various relationships, and finally formed a regional small circle.

At the same time, with this network as a platform, the upper and lower left and right echo each other, and a new generation of celebrities and celebrities are continuously created in the circle. Provided, of course, that this group of people is really talented.

After sending Mr. Li away, Fang Yingwu returned to the study. But I saw Boss Wang Shu sitting there frowning and thinking deeply, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the bookcase.

Wang Shu was very engrossed in his thoughts, and didn't notice Fang Yingwu coming in. It wasn't until Fang Yingwu coughed heavily that he woke him up. After glancing at Fang Yingwu for a few moments, he asked, "Why do you use your study?" ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly tried his best to express himself, "After the world's help, report the country's kindness, and care for the people, this will live up to his life aspirations." ”

Wang Shu nodded. praised: "Although I don't know if it's lip service, but if I can say it, it is worthy of being taught by the Prime Minister of Commerce." ”

Fang Yingwu was very speechless, if you want to praise the juniors. Is it okay to remove the previous sentence "I don't know if it's lip service"? Otherwise, I really don't know if you're sarcastic or complimentary.

Wang Shu turned his head: "How much do you know about the affairs of Suzhou Mansion Guantian Mintian?" ”

Fang Yingwu was a little excited, and after meeting a few times, he spoke falsely to falsely. There is really nothing to say except to grieve and defend his character and ability. Wang Shu talked about the land issue, although it seemed very abrupt. But there's a real topic.

He had the heart to show it, and quickly recalled the research situation of his previous life. Suzhou Mansion is a key research object in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many materials.

He replied in an orderly manner: "As far as I know, about 70,000 hectares of land in Suzhou Prefecture, seven-tenths of which are official land, and three-tenths of which are private land, that is to say, the number of acres of official land in the whole prefecture is two-thirds. ”

Wang Shu's old eyes widened, of course he knew that Fang Yingwu was correct, which was even more surprising.

The tone of this Fang Yingwu was very understated, as if it was just some trivial common sense. But this person is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Xiao Xiucai, who has just been out of home for a few days, and he actually knows the land situation of Suzhou Mansion well, and all kinds of data come as soon as he opens his mouth.

Not to mention that Fang Yingwu came from a remote mountain township, even for local scholars in Suzhou, nine out of ten can't say how many acres of land there is in Suzhou and what is the proportion? The average reader who will study these things.

Wang Shuzhen became interested, "You go on." ”

Fang Yingwu said: "The rent of official land is too heavy, and the tax on private land is too light, and in the long run, there will inevitably be many drawbacks!" Although he said it simply, it was enough in front of Mr. Wang, and the boss could understand the meaning, so he didn't need to be too wordy, just point to it.

The so-called official land is state-owned land, such as academic fields, confiscated fields, land left by Zhang Shicheng Shili before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and so on; The so-called private land is private land. Another distinction is that what the state collects from private land is called tax, and what is collected from official land is called land rent.

There are many official fields in Suzhou Prefecture and few private fields. Basically, the land was occupied by large landlords, and ordinary poor people who had no land to cultivate were forced to rent official land.

However, there is another problem, the rent of the official land is extremely heavy, several times that of the private land. If an acre of land is private land, it only needs to pay two buckets of taxes, while official land may have to pay six or seven buckets. There are too many official fields, which is also one of the reasons why the Suzhou government can account for one-tenth of the world's money and grain.

As a result, there is a serious problem of uneven taxation, and most of the peasants in Suzhou Prefecture rent and cultivate official land, bearing extremely heavy official rents and additional costs, but a small number of large households occupy private land and only have to pay very little taxes.

This is extremely unbalanced, and this problem has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also something that people of insight have always wanted to correct.

Fang Yingwu said in response to this question: "Such a small person is overwhelmed, and the wealth is succumbing!" And the small people are sad to live, but they are afraid that they will change for a long time! Now that many homeless people have fled their homes, right? ”

For the first time, Wang Shu looked at each other and applauded: "Well said, the old man really can't think of it." You have such knowledge! It made the old man impressed.

To tell the truth, when the old man went to the northern counties to investigate the flood this time. Seeing that the victims of the Guantian disaster went bankrupt because of the disaster, and there were many people who sold their children and daughters, I have been thinking about this matter recently. At the root, the tax on official land is too heavy. The poor people who rented and cultivated government land were really unbearable, so they had to pay taxes equally.

Since he took office, the old man has always had this idea, and now he plans to start implementing it. ”

Fang Yingwu interjected: "The sages of the past dynasties who ruled the Soviet Union had many such intentions, but most of them were unsuccessful, and there were even those who dismissed the government for this. On the one hand, the local large households and people rebelled, and the people of the imperial court echoed it. On the other hand, the imperial court Zaifu was afraid of affecting the taxation of the Suzhou government, and he has not been very active. ”

"Of course, the totals are immutable. Otherwise, the court will not be able to pass the pass. The tax on official land was reduced by one bucket per mu, and the tax on private land was increased by two buckets per mu, so the total number of taxes sent to the imperial court was still the same. ”

Fang Ying's items have a few meanings, could it be that Wang Shu is planning to use an administrative order to forcibly do it? This is not easy, and it is very likely that it will fail due to internal and external difficulties.

He persuaded: "I'm afraid it's not easy for the boss to do this, the sages of the past generations have tried this, and there are very few who have succeeded. ”

"It's not easy, but you have to try it, someone has to do it! Otherwise, what is the use of the imperial court asking our generation to guard the place? ”

The attitude of being responsible for Wang Shu. What else can Fang Yingwu say besides a service word? No wonder Mr. Wang is so eye-catching in the messy era of the Chenghua years.

This can be said to know that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to go to the tiger mountains! Such a spirit. Fang Yingwu doesn't know if he has it, maybe when he really faces the problem, he will show his true nature.

But this time it was Wang Shu's business, and Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered. What does all this have to do with him? What does this have to do with his reconciliation with Wang Quan?

Wang Shu said: "This kind of big thing of equal taxation, the local big clans who are used to taking advantage are afraid that they will oppose it. It won't please in the future. In fact, the old man was worried and had nowhere to start, and it happened that the Wang family took the initiative to send the handle in his hand. That's an opportunity.

That Wang Quan's family was originally a big family in Dongshan, especially after Wang Wei, his reputation rose greatly. If Dongshan Wang Jiaken takes the lead in expressing his support for the average tax payment of government and private land, at least it is not a bad thing? ”

Fang Yingwu was taken aback, no wonder Boss Wang just helped him refuse the Wang family, it turned out that he wanted to ask for a price in this regard! He wants to tie himself up and do it together!

Of course, Fang Yingwu understands that it is just a quarrel between scolding and quarrelling, or a dispute between literati and gentlemen. But if it involves this kind of thing that touches the fundamental interests of the family, it will be a bit troublesome.

He was a little frightened and said: "The old man is too high-minded, just relying on this little thing, how can he change the posture of the Wang family?" ”

Wang Shu said categorically: "Things are man-made, step by step." It's not really how the Dongshan Wang family is, it's just an attitude of support. The old man also said just now that such a thing will never succeed in one fell swoop, and now it is just a matter of slowly building momentum first. ”

Fang Yingwu really didn't know what to say, this old man pulled others to do things together, and never asked others if they were willing?

Now he just wants to leave Suzhou and go to Beijing to help his father. Unexpectedly, after brushing up on his reputation for a long time, he actively showed some insight, and fought for a few words in front of Wang Shu, but Zuihou was still forced by him to do things

This old man never thinks about other people's feelings, so it is better to continue to look down on him!

When Fang Yingwu was in a daze, he heard Wang Shu instruct again: "You seem to be quite good at writing poetry?" Then write a few poems about the peasants, and you may be able to use them these days. ”

Fang Yingwu was very unhappy, and was about to say a few words of protest, but he heard Wang Shu say: "If you work hard, I will ask the court for commendation." ”

What is the use of commendations? No matter how commendation you make, it is impossible to directly send a person or jinshi for nothing, in addition, it is nonsense, and it is practical to send a certificate of merit.

Wang Shu seemed to see through Fang Yingwu's thoughts, and said in a light tone: "If you have made meritorious achievements, although they are not of much use now, when you are qualified to be an official in the future, you can use these merits to directly add to the official." ”

"The boss has an order, and he should serve himself!" Fang Yingwu said excitedly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Whew, after coming back, I worked hard for a long time, and I finally finished the work! Ask for a commuter pass!
