The day after returning home, He Tianyan came to visit, and after a few words of greeting, he asked Yun Ye inexplicably: "Master Hou has a deep friendship with the Daomen, do you know why they changed their minds overnight and agreed to bring the acres of the Taoist Temple under the jurisdiction of the rent adjustment system?" And tried his best to ask His Majesty for sin, saying that in the past, the Taoist sect was selfish and selfish, as a monk did not know how to alleviate the pain of the people, but became a cyst that devoured the country's financial resources, and the sin was heavy, and now he repented, and was willing to distribute the acres of the Taoist temple according to the number of Taoists according to the method of dividing the fields of Yongye Tian and Kou, and was willing to use money to redeem the imperial court for forced labor, after all, it was really difficult for the monks to do forced labor. ”

"Did Your Majesty agree?" Yun Ye didn't seem to be surprised at all, it seemed that the Daomen's practices were already in his hands.

"His Majesty asked the Ministry of Household Industry to make calculations, and he also discussed with Fang Xiang and Du Xiang to weigh the pros and cons, but in my opinion, it is very likely that the imperial court will agree, and Daomen has taken the lead this time, I don't know when they made such a big determination, I am very strange, there is no warning beforehand."

After being together for a long time, Yun Ye found out that He Tianyan is actually a very picky person, there are dozens of delicious pastries in the Yun family, but this guy has never eaten the simplest osmanthus cake, and he doesn't look at other pastries, and his mother actually only eats cakes, he never takes other pastries home, this time it's the same, the housekeeper doesn't need to command, just fill the basket he brought and put it on the table on the side.

"You're not qualified as a secret agent, and you've been a fart all day long, but you can't find out any useful news at all, sad."

"Your Majesty said the same, no, for my brother, I came to consult Yunhou. How much do I know from you, and I will give an explanation to His Majesty. He Tianyan's voice was smooth and natural for his brother, without the slightest concern, he used to say that he was despicable.

"Didn't you find that there was one person missing from the number of people who participated in the big exam in the academy this time? You haven't noticed such a famous day student? ”

"You mean Li Chunfeng? He is just a reserve little Taoist priest, and he doesn't have this ability, and his master Yuan Tiangang doesn't have it. He Tianyan calmly replied to Yun Ye's words.

"Fame is often shattered by facts. Li Chunfeng has been in the academy for three years, specializing in arithmetic, I remember that I used to take Lao Junguan industry in the classroom to do a check, and found an interesting phenomenon, there is a big gap between the tax and land policy of our dynasty, through reasonable means, you can escape a lot of taxes, the tax of irrigated fields and the tax of dry fields are two different concepts. The price of an acre of irrigated field is eight times that of dry land, but it is very interesting, the output of an acre of irrigated field is only more than twice that of an acre of dry land, and the remaining harvest of irrigated field after deducting taxes is only 30% more than the harvest of dry land after paying taxes. “

He Tianyan said in confusion: "Everyone is competing for water to water the fields, and everyone is planting water to water the fields, which makes the price of this kind of Tianzi acre skyrocket." Especially now, the nobles of Chang'an are very rich. The price of irrigated fields will also be bullish. However, what does this have to do with this operation of the Daomen? ”

"What does it matter? According to the regulations on dividing the fields by mouth, if a person owns five acres of paddy fields, then the 100 acres of land will be sharply reduced to 50 acres. If there are no paddy fields in the mouth-divided fields, 120 acres of dry land will be allocated, or even more. Newly cultivated dry land within three years is not taxable, and Datang stipulates that only five grains and mulberry hemp can be planted on it. Vegetables have just begun to pay taxes, and people don't plan to grow these, and corn, potatoes, and other crops that are newly regulated by the imperial court are not planted, so where do you collect taxes from? ”

He Tianyan's eyes were about to have a whirlpool, and he slammed it on the door of his head and said, "Don't they eat?" After saying that, he smashed himself again and said loudly: "Okay, I admit that I just said stupid things, they use money to buy them in the market, but they don't grow grain, vegetables, mulberry hemp, can't they grow grass?" ”

"What you said is very correct, they just want to grow grass, but some grass can be used as horse feed, and it is profitable to sell it to the imperial court, do you know what the price of good alfalfa grass is? Some grass can just treat a certain disease, the price in the pharmacy is expensive, the biggest advantage is that there is no need for agricultural tax, my thirty tax and one commercial tax is a fart in their opinion, they have damn reduced the land tax to the minimum, or even none, and there is a face to the court to say that to use money and goods to offset the forced labor, this damn Li Chunfeng, he still wants any benefits. Yun Ye said fiercely, but his expression was very calm.

He Tianyan's beads of sweat fell down his chin and said in a trembling voice: "There is a car in front, and there are ruts in the back, the miscellaneous hairs are so vicious, the bald donkeys dare to follow suit, in case it spreads to the people, there is still food to eat in Datang." After saying that, he screamed and ran out.

"What's the panic, do you think the officials in the court won't be able to see this little trick? Reading books and shedding tears for the ancients to worry about, eat these osmanthus cakes well. “

"What do you know, Wang Jue, Xiao Yu, these old men are already celebrating with a crown, saying that as long as the acres of Daomen are included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Buddhism will be difficult to support alone, this is a great victory for the imperial court, and they have gone home to write a congratulatory sheet to His Majesty."

"I didn't say these old men, they are all upright and upright people, who would think of these ghost tricks of the Daomen, but there are still some people, they don't eat dry food, the academy has taught them for three years, if you can't even deal with this little means, I will press them one by one in the basin and drown, although Li Chunfeng has learned well, but he is not the best, thinking that he can dominate the world after learning arithmetic? Nonsense, knowledge is the accumulation of comprehensive elements, and the lame man is three points weaker than normal people in the item of running. “

He Tianyan was still restless, his buttocks twisted around in the chair as if he had hemorrhoids, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "The students of the academy are just watching politics now, and they may not be able to see such important documents." “

"Don't worry about them, these bastards can even get out the test questions I prepared for the next day's exam in advance, they can't hide a little caution from their officials, not to mention that these students are now thinking about serving the country, and mastering information is their first priority, and they will know."

"You can't peek, it's taboo, if they peek, they will break the rules, even if they make merits, they will be punished by His Majesty, and those big guys will look down on them."

"Who said that I want to peek, my exam papers are not peeked at by them, inquiring about the news is not against the rules of the imperial court, isn't this what you do?"

Since Yun Ye didn't care at all, He Tianyan slowly put his mind down, put aside the annoying government and politics, drank tea and snacks with Yun Ye and the two of them, and talked about some strange things in Chang'an City, especially gods and monsters, which are very hot topics in Chang'an recently.

A smart person repeatedly challenges authority with wisdom, regardless of whether the means are dirty or not, it will always make the people cheer inexplicably, challenging authority This is something that everyone has done in their dreams, if there is one in reality, it is a hero.

Recently, Chang'an has been taken care of by the gods and Buddhas, the radiant Buddha came into the world, there are peach blossoms falling from the sky, there is a strong fragrance overflowing, which has attracted the foolish men and women in Chang'an City to bow their heads, tears of joy flow, almost crazy, but Grandma Yun, who has always been very interested in Buddhist things, is very unhappy.

Recently, the glass mirrors of the Yun family were bought by an unknown big family in one go, all of which were one-person-high dressing mirrors, and the evening peach blossoms in the conservatory were also bought at a great price, and what was even more outrageous was that the ambergris that was finally concocted was also bought with gold.

These are nothing, the most strange thing is that the guests would rather spend three times more prices, requiring the Yun family to keep these three transactions confidential, except for the owner and the handler, no one else is allowed to know, the reputation of the Yun family to do business is well-known in Chang'an, since the covetousness of money signed an agreement, then it will be kept secret, the grandmother has just started to housekeeping, there is such a good business to the door, naturally very happy, as for the guest's idea of asking for nothing.

When the Buddha came into the world, Grandma Yun took a carriage to worship on the first day, and when she saw the peach blossoms on the ground, she immediately lost interest, and let the groom drive the carriage home, and the little girl who accompanied her to see the Buddha said a word, and was slapped twice by the grandmother, pouted, and reluctantly went home, and saw that her brother also complained that her grandmother beat her.

The Yun family was blinded by the gold and money, and sealed their mouths, so they could only hide in the treasure house and count the gold and scold twice, and they couldn't do anything else, but there were not only smart people in the world, such as Taishi Cheng Fu Yi was very smart, and he saw through the hypocrisy of Buddhism from his bones, so he didn't believe that there would be any Buddha coming into the world, and planned to have a close conversation with the Buddha.

The monk of Jianfu Temple refused, saying that the Buddha had gone back to the West Heaven, just now he was just passing by Chang'an, and sent down a little miracle to appease the hearts of good men and good women, and also laughed at Fu Yi for not measuring himself, and he was careful that the Buddha would send disasters and would be sent to the Infernal Hell to suffer in the future.

Recommending Fu Temple is also a royal temple, a small Taishi Cheng can not enter casually, Fu Yi had to wander along the outer wall, planning to find a low place to climb in, seeing the people picking up the withered peach blossoms on the ground, his expression is also confused, look at the fallen leaves floating in the sky, I can't figure out how there will be peach blossoms in late autumn.

Reluctantly returned home, but found that Yuan Tiangang from Si Tianjian had come to sit at home for a long time without saying a word, but there was a red apricot in the vase on the table, and the pink buds were waiting to be released. (To be continued......)
