Chapter 171: The highlight of life
There is no suspense in the palace examination, after the palace examination that was originally on the list, it must be a new science and technology jinshi, and the palace examination is a way for the backward elements to squeeze forward and fight.
didn't want to fall into the column of fellow jinshi, Fang Mingyuan became the group of people who wanted to fight for the palace test, even if they squeezed to the end of the second list.
The palace test was made by the emperor himself, and Fang Mingyuan felt that the young emperor was still too tender at a glance, so he almost told the world directly, I want to withdraw the domain.
The title is written for a long time, and the meaning is very clear, the vassal king's secession increases the burden on the court, and the court should increase taxes.
Fang Mingyuan avoided sensitive issues and paid taxes!
You think you're not paying it, but everyone is paying for the taxes.
To give a simple example, a peasant woman carried a basket into the city to sell eggs, and originally said at home that the eggs would be sold for one penny, and the money from selling eggs would be enough to change oil and salt, and the remaining few pennies could be used to make uppers of two feet of cloth.
When the peasant woman came to the city gate, she had to pay two cents of the city gate tax. The peasant woman paid the city gate tax, and silently thought, let's sell the eggs for three or two!
found a place to set up a stall in the market, and the street patrol came and told the peasant woman that she would have to pay two cents for setting up a stall here, so the eggs had not yet been bought, and had risen to two cents each.
The peasant woman set up her stall and heard the official beat the gong and read out the notice loudly, it turned out that the imperial court was going to increase taxes, and the family's field would have to pay an extra 10% of grain this year. The peasant woman had no choice but to raise the price of eggs to three cents.
At this time, a housekeeper came to buy eggs, and the peasant woman was worried that he would bargain, so she deliberately quoted three ten, so the housekeeper bought back a basket of eggs.
The housekeeper is a person in the house of the old man, and the master has land and does not have to pay taxes. But is it true that the old man didn't pay taxes? If you want to eat eggs, buy meat, buy rice, buy necessities, and buy any commodity that you spend money on, it includes taxes.
Some people are dissatisfied with the privilege of not having to pay taxes, but they never thought that the master did not pay them on the surface, but he was paying for taxes everywhere.
Fang Mingyuan didn't write about the feudal king's fiefdom, but he still wrote about the sensitive issue of tax exemption for scholars. When he handed in the paper, he regretted it a little, and he should have written more gently.
The three hundred scholars went home and waited, and the next day they posted the emperor's list was the highest moment in their lives, whether they became famous in one fell swoop, or fell into the list of fellow jinshi, such as the lady's escort, no one can be sure what will happen to them.
Cai Kun asked Fang Mingyuan how to answer the palace test strategy, Fang Mingyuan showed a very broken and broken attitude, "Whatever!" The last time I am also a fellow jinshi, can I still fall out of the emperor's list? But you, how to answer the palace test? ”
Cai Kun softly recounted the contents of the palace examination answer sheet.
Chang'an and Fang Mingyuan were both taken aback. Chang'an looked at his father, what are you talking about with people, what are you talking about?
Fang Mingyuan was also thinking, when will I talk to others in the vernacular autonomous region? Isn't this Uncle Pit! Can the autonomous region I am talking about be the same thing as the fiefdom of the feudal king?
At this time, the bachelor who reviewed the test papers, looking at the two test papers from Leping students, he was very satisfied with the article on the disguised taxation of the scholar, Lao Tzu did not pay taxes on the fields, and he did not give less food, clothing and housing.
It is written in the article that it is precisely because of the country's benevolence to scholars that while sharing taxes, scholars have taken out a lot of money to repair roads, bridges, schools, and help the people in order to repay the township. Because of this, increasing taxes is not just a matter for the people.
Well written! Look at it, Lao Tzu is building bridges and paving roads in the township, he doesn't have a few coins in his hand, and he has to help his neighbors.
The article next to it is written more sharply, the vassal king is actually equivalent to autonomy, and the meaning of autonomy is explained in detail, and how to complete autonomy for the imperial court, rather than increasing the burden on the people through taxes.
When the emperor reads this article, he will definitely be angry, but it is not unreasonable.
In the eyes of the scholars, whether it is a fief or autonomy, let him do his own work! It's all your old Zhao's place, what else do you and me do? Who's old son is a hundred years later, the children and grandchildren will have to divide the family property, and the grandson wants to monopolize it and not leave a bite for the uncle, which is too unauthentic.
The article was submitted, and sure enough, the emperor was very unhappy, and it was rare for the scholar to help Leping Shizi say a few good words.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has just handed over the fiefdom, and there are not many Leping scholars, so it's time to appease!"
"Your Majesty, you see that what he wrote is very absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it is a good way!"
The emperor said in his heart, go to your appeasement, go to your good way. If you weren't a scholar in the north, if you weren't born in the realm of the imperial court, I would have named you a scholar?
When the gold list was posted, Fang Mingyuan was still sleeping, in his opinion, the best result was Jinshi and the first, and the last time was also from the same Jinshi, and he was worried about a bird!
After the college entrance examination, if you can go to college, who cares if you press the admission score line?
"Daddy, Daddy, don't sleep!" Chang'an lifted the quilt and pulled his father up, "Tell you to go to the street!" ”
Fang Mingyuan was taken aback, "What kind of law did Lao Tzu commit, why did you let me parade the streets?" ”
Chang'an stomped his feet and said, "My fairy dad!" You just took the temple exam and forgot? Hurry up, you are the heirloom appointed by the emperor, the first name of the second class. ”
"What? What's that? What am I? What is Chuanyi? I've only heard of the champion, Bangyan, and Xiao Li Tanhua. Fang Mingyuan said, quickly putting on his clothes.
I'm a herald, what's the preaching? The top two names? The first place in the second class! Lao Tzu is a legend!
I hurriedly followed the messenger away, and when I arrived at the place, I found that it was okay! The head of the champion is a little girly, except that the face is good-looking, not tall, but it is white enough, but the ancient clothes are not upper sleeves, and it seems that this one has a little slumped shoulders.
Look at the list again, you are really two! Dare to ask which Liangshan mountain did the black-faced man come from? Anyway, you look like the prodigal son Yan Qing, and you are also in it! You are Li Kui's own brother!
Tanhua is much more pleasing to the eye, first of all, he is not inferior to the list of Li Kui, and his face is not inferior to the sissy champion, and he is full of the arrogance of a noble boy. Is it that if you are given a throwing knife, you can also be romantic?
"Fang Chuanyu, hurry up and go!"
Fang Mingyuan looked back and forth, why let me go! "Where's the horse?"
"There are no horses, you can keep up!"
This is discrimination, unfair, they have a BMW 330, why don't they even give me a small motorcycle?
The gong has already sounded in front of me and walked out, whether there is a horse or not, we have to keep up! Fortunately, there are two large flags behind him, which are as high as the flag in front, but the colors are different.
Forget it, don't care about the details, the same tall flag, the same big gold characters. Le Square Mingyuan, give the second class to pass on.
He was followed by more than 200 jinshi, all walking on their legs, and there was only one big flag. This is balanced, let's not compare with the above, look at what is not as good as ours, and the sense of happiness will be compared!
Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Niu, and Mrs. Li occupy the best position on the second floor of the pastry shop. Dong Xiaoying and her children crowded in front of a window, and the others in the pastry shop only hated that the window was small, shouting for the front to squat down and the people behind not to press their shoulders.
"Is that the fourth?" Mrs. Hu saw Fang Mingyuan first.
Mrs. Niu smiled: "It's sillier than laughing on the day we got married!" Lo and behold, the back molars are exposed. ”
Mrs. Li smiled and asked, "Why don't you let the fourth child ride a horse?" Can the imperial court still lack horses? Say it early! We have it in the store, so I said I would send a horse to ride and play! ”
"Why didn't you see my aunt?" Tan's eyes widened.
