Early in the morning of October 327, the Great Song Dynasty 327, the prison guards dragged a few people to the streets of Jiangning. These guys are all gorgeously dressed and don't look ordinary. Each person carried a torture instrument around his neck, which was made of two giant wooden pieces one meter long and fifty centimeters wide, which were spliced together to form squares of one meter long and one meter wide.

Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch when they saw the bustle, and many of them were smiling and pointing. Seeing others suffering, everyone always feels a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. But when the poor see what is happening to the rich, their hearts are happier. A little reading of the notices posted on the noticeboards behind those people made everyone even happier. The words used in the notice are simple, and anyone who has been to elementary school can read it. It is to the effect that 'the official family announced to the world in September this year that the land tax and real estate tax had been levied since 328 of the Great Song Dynasty, and these people made rumors that the imperial court and the government would collect all the taxes that had not been collected in the past ten years. The Jiangning government officially told the people that this was not true. The imperial court and the government will never continue to collect taxes from the past. I hope everyone believes that the court believes in the government, and don't spread rumors and believe rumors. The people who were put to prison before the announcement are proof of the rumors.'

At the same time, the secretary of the Jiangning prefect brought in the news, "Prefect Wen, Duan Jinshi's family sent someone." ”

Soon after, the secretary went outside and shook his head at the people of Duan Jinshi's family. The people of Duan Jinshi's family showed a disappointed look at the time, but when it was about the family being shackled, they refused to give up the rescue, so they begged: "Secretary He, can't you pay some fines?" ”

The secretary continued to shake his head. If it weren't for the fact that Duan Jinshi's family was very influential in Jiangning, he wouldn't have come to see him at all. But precisely because Duan Jinshi's family is very influential in Jiangning, the children of Duan Jinshi's family said that 'Zhao Guan's family will collect all the taxes that have not been collected in the past ten years', and this rumor spread rapidly in Jiangning.

Seeing that the Duan family was reluctant to leave, the secretary directly picked up people, "I still have something to do now, please go back." ”

When the secretary returned to Wenzhang Wen's prefect's side, the school society meetings of various important departments in Jiangning Mansion had already begun. Governor Wenzhang's tone was serious: You look at me and I look at you for these officials and cadres. Finally, the eyes fell on the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, who had a low level of authority before the new tax regime was finalized. The new tax system has not yet been implemented, and the Commissioner of Inland Revenue will have very much power, at least from a planning point of view. As Zhao Guanjia said, 'In the Great Song Dynasty, only death and tax payment were inevitable'.

Those officials and cadres were silent, and Wen Zhang's tone broke the silence firmly, "According to the imperial court system, we can formulate special tax standards according to the situation. The tax on land and real estate in the Qinhuai River plan is set at ten times that of ordinary farmland and real estate. ”

Some people couldn't help but gasp, but no one dared to speak. Among all the officials, only the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau showed joy, and the expression of the Transportation Bureau was also good. The expressions of the other officials and cadres were more worried than joyful.

At night, Duan Fengming, a cadre of the Agricultural Bureau, secretly entered his family's mansion. The elders of the Duan Jinshi family were already waiting, and when they saw the children of their own family who had graduated from this system, the patriarch asked, "What does Wenzhang want to do?" ”

Duan Fengming didn't go to criticize Wenzhang, the prefect of Jiangning, he told the elders and fellow sects about the general situation. According to the survey of the Water Conservancy Bureau, the width of the Qinhuai River during the Six Dynasties was about 130-300 meters. The Qinhuai River is now narrower because of the decrease in water due to the cooling climate. The remaining is about 90 meters. At this extreme, even the Yangtze River next to Jiangning began to move westward......

The officials and cadres of the Great Song Dynasty had to take exams, and these contents had to be kept in mind. The Duan family had no interest in any of this, and someone immediately interrupted Duan Fengming's narration, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

Duan Fengming can only talk about the core points, "The government has planned new water conservancy facilities, to dredge the Qinhuai River and related canals, and lay the foundation for irrigation and drainage of farmland in this area." ”

"Haha!" The current patriarch Duan Tiande sneered from between his teeth, and then he said loudly full of mockery: "So speaking of which, this Wenzhang is still for the country and the people!" ”

On the 4th day of October, Xiong Shangshu returned home and saw his wife's Duan cousin leaving the house with a face full of embarrassment. When greeting Cousin Duan, Cousin Duan stopped talking, and then was 'sent off' by Mrs. Xiong. As soon as he saw this movement, Xiong Sheng knew that Cousin Duan must have come to drag Xiong Sheng on an errand, and was driven away by his wife. When Cousin Duan left, Xiong Sheng returned to the house and asked his wife, "What is your cousin here for?" ”

Mrs. Xiong sighed: "The Jiangning Duan family has a conflict with Wen Tianxiang's third brother Wen Zhang, and wants you to help sue Wen Zhang. I let him die of this heart, and now that Wen Tianxiang is in such a position, we can't move him. Alas! These people now really don't know how powerful. Anyway, I'll ask you about it. ”

Xiong Sheng appreciates his wife's wisdom very much, and now it is not easy to move Wen Tianxiang. However, as a bureaucrat, it is not bad to have more information, so Xiong Sheng asked, "What is the purpose of suing Wenzhang?" ”

At this time, Jia Weixin, a waiter from the Ministry of Agriculture, also politely sent another Duan family away, and then went to see his grandfather Jia Yidao. Jia Nidao inserted a small piece of hawthorn cake with a toothpick and put it into his mouth, tasting the sweet and sour taste, Jia Nidao praised his grandson, "The hawthorn cake in this shop is really good." ”

Jia Weixin didn't have any idea of eating, he complained: "Azu, did your subordinates really become officials before. The officials made it so clear in the newspapers that the tax standards set by the local government had to be submitted to the imperial court for review. In order to recover the land in the Qinhuai River, Wen Zhang set a tax ten times the amount, and they still need to report this kind of thing? Wenzhang will definitely make it clear in the report that this is to force the people who own the land to sell their land and houses. If ten times the property tax and property tax didn't work, he would probably set it at twenty times. I don't even understand this, how they were officials back then. ”

Jia Rudao rinsed his mouth with the mouthwash mixed with salt and baking soda, picked up the purple clay pot and took a sip, and then sighed: "Da Lang, this era has changed." ”

Listening to his grandfather talk about such a huge topic, Jia Weixin closed his mouth and listened.

"In the past, hawthorn dew was not cheap, I heard the store say today that hawthorn is shipped from Shandong to Jiangnan by boat, everyone just wants to transport it as soon as possible, hurry up. The price is very cheap. Back then, there was no such cheap and delicious hawthorn cake. ”

"Azu, please stop kidding me." Jia Weixin was disappointed in his heart when he said this.

As if he hadn't heard his grandson's words, Jia Yidao smiled and said: "I think back then, there were only six departments in the imperial court, and only some divisions were set up for some particularly necessary things. At that time, Zhao Jiaren was just a cotton worker, just an errand, and there was no government affairs at all. Unexpectedly, now there are many new departments such as the Education Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, the Machinery Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and the Political and Legal Committee. Although the black-hearted officials were eradicated by Zhao Jiaren, the cadres took over the errands of the officials, and the number of so-called officials and cadres must be dozens of times that of before. ”

Jia Weixin was silent. He himself is a cadre, so he rarely considers such a group as 'official cadres'. In Jia Weixin's view, cadres are officials, and officials are cadres. Every three years, forty or fifty jinshi have no influence on the government at all, and the cadres start from the grassroots level, and the jinshi also start from the grassroots level. The cadres still look down on Jinshi's weak scientific knowledge.

Now listening to his grandfather's words, Jia Weixin seems to understand something, but he doesn't seem to understand anything. However, Jia Weixin knows very well that even if the Wenzhang Wen prefect really deliberately deliberately used the entire Jinshi family, he would not offend the current prefect because of a Jinshi, let alone offend the current official Shangshu.

Looking at the back of his grandson leaving, Jia Rudao took another sip of tea, swallowed the fragrant tea, Jia Rudao lowered his gaze, and tears were already flashing in his eyes. Letting the tears fall, Jia Rudao choked up and muttered to himself, "Jinshi is finished!" ”

At this time, Xiong Sheng also ended the conversation with his wife. He asked his wife not to get involved in this matter no matter what, and it was really inadequate, for a Jinshi family with no current squire-level officials in the family, to challenge the government's policies. Zhao Guanjia's water conservancy concept is to block rather than dredge, protect water sources, and widen rivers. Therefore, the "Water Conservancy Law" promulgated by the Great Song Dynasty stipulates that filling up rivers and enclosing lakes to create fields by lakes are the same crimes as blocking roads and robbing in public in broad daylight. The prefect of Wenzhang is just implementing the policy of the imperial court, because of this, he wants to overthrow Wenzhang, and I really don't know how to write the word 'death'.

Xiong Shangshu's wife didn't care much, although she didn't know the imperial court policy, she knew that Wen Tianxiang moved into a three-story building at the level of Shangshu with Xiong Shang. Even if Wen Tianxiang let go of his foreign office, he did not move away from the Shangshu-level community. Also receiving this honor was Zhang Shijie, who was as stable as Mount Tai no matter how other Shangshu-level officials left the community. Xiong Shangshu's wife completely understood that these two people were in the emperor's heart. As long as these two people do not rebel, their position will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it.

"Let's go! Round, take a walk. Madame Xiong shouted, and Bian Mu quickly ran out to cheer around Madame Xiong. It didn't take long for Xiong Shangshu to see his wife happily lead the border herd out of the house. Every time he saw this scene, Xiong Shangshu would remember that Yuanyuan was sent to the boat at that time, and Mrs. Xiong suddenly called a carriage and flew straight to the dock. Finally, at the moment before the boat left, he got on the boat and brought Yuan Yuan off the boat.

Since then, Mrs. Xiong has only maintained an appreciative attitude towards Yuanyuan's cleverness, and as for whether Yuanyuan has become a sperm or whether it will become a sperm in the future, Mrs. Xiong has not cared at all.

Oh people! Xiong Shangshu sighed at the adaptability of human beings.

On the 7th day of October, Zhang Shijie read the telegram and couldn't help but scold: "Are the people of Duan Tiande's family sick!" ”

Yang Shufei was holding her little son in her arms, and the little guy couldn't help but purse his mouth when he heard the noise, and cried in a low voice. Yang Shufei immediately picked up her son, stood up and went to close the door. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhang Shijie felt that his wife and children were disturbed, and while feeling a little guilty about his relatives, he was angry with his former subordinates.

Duan Tiande used to do errands in the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Forest Army and served as an officer of the Imperial Forest Army. When Zhao Jiaren set out to weaken and disband the Royal Forest Army, this Duan Tiande went out on his own. Zhang Shijie has never blamed this subordinate, the group of uncles of the Royal Forest Army who stayed behind with an average age of forty years old were completely because they had no errands to make a living, so they could only stay in the Royal Forest Army to retire. Anyone who has a chance should pursue a better life.

But this kindness does not mean that Zhang Shijie will fight to the death with Wen Tianxiang for these guys. After the surrender of Lin'an, the Song dynasty was stormy, and one of the first officials to rush to Fuzhou to defect to the imperial court was Wen Tianxiang. Even if there is only this friendship, Zhang Shijie will not stand on Duan Tiande's side.

On October 15, Duan Tiande, the current patriarch of the Duan family, saw the notice. The notice clearly marked that some acres and houses along the Qinhuai River would be subject to a tax of ten times that of the houses and fields next door. There are some industries under the name of the Duan family.

The family meeting was held again, Duan Tiande waited for Duan Fengming to arrive, and first scolded Duan Fengming with his head and face. The reason is naturally that Duan Fengming did not report for the family.

Duan Fengming was greatly unhappy after hearing this. He had long said that the imperial court tax system would not change at all because the Duan family was unhappy, if this was not called ventilation reporting, then what was ventilation reporting?

Looking at Duan Fengming's unhappy expression, Duan Tiande's brother Duan Chongde frowned and asked Duan Fengming: "Since you are a cadre, why can't you talk to Wen Zhang, why bother our Duan family." ”

Duan Fengming felt that this statement was also very nonsense. But at least this is not an unreasonable accusation, Duan Fengming replied: "If it is aimed at our Duan family, then it will not be taxed ten times the amount of land for so many houses." Since so much land and houses have been taxed, I can't say that this is against our Duan family. ”

"How do you speak for someone?" Duan Tiande said angrily.

Duan Fengming couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he said in his heart: Do you think I am the prefect of Jiangning?

Duan Chongde saw something, he stopped Duan Tiande first, and then said to Duan Fengming: "Difficult, do you think Wen Zhang did the right thing?" ”

This question was asked to the point, and Duan Fengming wanted to speak and stopped.

"Haha!" Duan Tiande smiled viciously: "I see, I didn't expect our Duan family to rebel first." Very good! Very good! Since you think that Wenzhang is right, then you might as well tell us what he is right. If it makes sense, I'll admit it! ”

Wen Zhang's plan was not something he came up with alone, the planning for the control of the Qinhuai River was originally done by the Agriculture Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the Transportation Bureau, and Duan Fengming, as a local cadre of the Agricultural Bureau, contributed a lot to the research and design of this project. Looking at the performance of the elders in the clan, Duan Fengming also felt very bored, just these few pieces of material they wanted to work against nearly a thousand officials and cadres in Jiangning Mansion, which was really not enough.

Duan Tiande thought that he had suppressed the juniors in the family, but he didn't expect Duan Fengming to speak calmly, and instead of facing Duan Tiande, he started to speak to the important people in the other clans attending the meeting.

The vicinity of Jiangning is low-lying and hilly. The hills do not become a source of springwater, and when it rains, it is not possible to store as much rainwater as in the mountains, which can easily cause floods, destroying farmland and flooding houses. If we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we must make an overall plan for water conservancy in the entire Jiangning region.

In the dry season, the Qinhuai River has little water, and it is impossible to use the water of the Qinhuai River to irrigate farmland. Wenzhang, the prefect of Jiangning, commissioned the Department of Water Conservancy of Hangzhou University in the Great Song Dynasty to help design a system that combines irrigation, flood control, and boating, and the Department of Water Conservancy of Hangzhou gave the plan. The new Qinhuai River is 200 meters wide and has several sluices, and when the sluices are closed, the water level of the Qinhuai River can be about 6.5 meters, which can well realize flood drainage, drought resistance and shipping.

Duan Tiande had mocked before, 'Is it difficult for Wen Zhang to do this for the country and the people', listening to Duan Fengming telling how to do it for the country and the people, Duan Tiande became more and more angry the more he listened, and finally simply stood up and picked up a wooden stick. Duan Fengming turned his head and ran away with the principle that a good man does not suffer the loss in front of him, and the Duan family didn't want Duan Tiande to make such a fool of himself, so he stopped Duan Tiande when he went up. Duan Fengming only felt that there was wind in his ears, and the angry scolding was getting farther and farther away. Although he knew that he had greatly offended the family elders this time, he did not regret it. If he followed the family elders, he would probably have to fall into the mud with them. After participating in the Qinhuai River governance meeting, Duan Fengming knew the determination of the prefect Wenzhang. I also know how many officials and cadres want to take credit for this project.

On October 20, an envoy from the Great Song Rite Ministry arrived in Daegu, the capital of Samhan. One of the 24 kingdoms of ancient Benjin in Daegu. There is the city of Wandavar. Under the Silla county system, Daegu was divided into Sangcunchang-gun and Daguhuo-gun, and in 757 Sangcunchang-gun was renamed Suseong-gun, and Daguhuo was renamed Daegu-gun. This is where the name Daegu (Daegu) begins.

As the Great Song Dynasty changed Goryeo to Samhan and limited its territory to the old land of Samhan, Wang Chen, the prime minister of Samhan, moved the capital to Daegu. At this time, he heard that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was coming, and hurriedly greeted him. Seeing the envoy's flat expression, Wang Chen was very uneasy. Of course, he knew that there were thieves attacking the Daesong Telegraph Office, but Goryeo had been ravaged for decades, and the royal family and the people were already impoverished, where could there be troops to pursue the thieves. Not to mention the thieves who dared to attack the telegraph office of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the salute, the envoy went to the palace of the prime minister of Samhan. Seeing the humble house, the messenger sighed, "I didn't expect Goryeo to be so pitiful. ”

"Hui Angel, this is Samhan." Wang Chen hurriedly corrected it. In that year, the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress Li was captured, and wrote in Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, 'When is the spring flower and autumn moon?' How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward. Then he was considered disloyal to the Great Song Dynasty and was later killed.

As the prime minister of the current 'Samhan Province', if he talks about Goryeo with his mouth closed, he will probably follow the path of Empress Lee.

The envoy smiled slightly, "Before I came this time, the official family said that if the prime minister can satisfy the Great Song Dynasty, it will restore the Goryeo Kingdom, so what." ”

Looking at that smile, Wang Chen only felt that there seemed to be a big trap waiting for him.
