Chapter 266: Transformation
"You're here!" Chu Linghui put down the manuscript and smiled at Lin Jiu.
"Lord Chu seems to be very idle." Lin Jiu dragged the chair to the bookcase, and Chu Linghui was already a little accustomed to Lin Jiu's slightly rude behavior.
If Lin Jiu suddenly became everyone's lady on that day, it would surprise Chu Linghui.
"Don't you often talk about combining work and rest?" Chu Linghui handed the tea in front of him to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu naturally picked it up, drank it all, and his mood suddenly calmed down a lot, "Having said that, there are some things that you still need to take precautions for." ”
"It seems that the news of the capital has reached you." Chu Lingxuan's words were flat, and his expression was extremely relaxed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Although there are some complaints in his heart, I have to say that a person like Chu Linghui, who can stay calm in the face of any situation, can give people a sense of peace of mind.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Lin Jiu asked.
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." An answer that was not an answer, but it also made Lin Jiu's heart feel a little at ease, which at least proved that Chu Linghui did not think about anything.
"I heard that you recently intended to bring your mother to Yunzhou Mansion, aren't the people in Linjia Village still giving up?" Chu Linghui suddenly asked.
Lin Jiu shook his head and said: "Lin Shuli, as the magistrate of Heishui, takes care of my family, whether it is the Lin family village or the Yan family, they are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but they dare not embarrass my mother anymore." ”
"That's good, otherwise, I don't mind cutting another piece of meat on the Yan family."
"It's just that the grandmother of the Zheng family sent a letter a few days ago, saying that my mother misses me very much, and asks me if I have a favorite man, this miss may be fake, and she wants to force me to get married!"
No matter what world or era, parents are worried about their children's family affairs in the same way.
Lin Jiu's slightly playful tone made Chu Linghui a little silent, which made Lin Jiu suddenly react, and his words seemed to be a little suspicious of forced marriage.
"It's just a reasonable complaint, I am only twenty this year, according to Sanniang, it is the age of tender water, and it is impossible for me to be a yellow-faced woman for others at this time."
"In the year of Double Ten, if you don't marry during the war, the court will collect taxes, no wonder Aunt Zhao is so worried." Chu Linghui's eyes showed a look of struggle.
Lin Jiu somewhat understood what Chu Linghui meant, and now that his position was extremely dangerous, this was obviously not the time to talk about marriage.
It's just that Chu Linghui's attitude made Lin Jiu feel a little unhappy in his heart, whether he can succeed is one thing, and whether he dares to make a commitment is another, this is the so-called attitude problem.
At this time, Chu Linghui didn't know that he had been temporarily crossed by Lin Jiu in his heart, but for Chu Lingxuan, this promise could not be said easily, and once it was said, it must be fulfilled.
Even if he knew how to phrase it was the right answer, he wouldn't go that way.
The two of them had their own ideas, which made the whole study suddenly quiet, and at this time, the quieter it was, the more awkward it was.
"Ahem, the stories you wrote are very good, although those stories start out as tragedies and end up tying the knot."
These words were supposed to be used to change the topic, but after Chu Linghui said it, he realized that he had brought the topic back again, and he was speechless for a while.
Lin Jiu took a deep breath and said: "The reason why this story has developed like that is just that people have spiritual needs after food and clothing, and it is human instinct to seek beautiful things. ”
"It's hard to imagine that the people who wrote these stories could have such rational thoughts." Chu Linghui said subconsciously.
Then he remembered the mysterious space that Lin Jiu had, as well as those things that could almost be said to be impossible to appear in this era, Chu Linghui was also relieved, this was a very magical woman.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier, Lin Jiu also took the initiative to change the topic and returned to his mother Zhao.
"Looking at the situation in Yunzhou Mansion now, my mother's affairs still have to be slowed down."
Chu Linghui pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Yin Zidu's words, you should think about it!" "Love the Book House
"Yin Zidu's words ......" Lin Jiu shook his head and said, "That kid talks a lot of nonsense, if you really follow his way of thinking, sooner or later you will become a fool like him, which I don't want to." ”
Chu Linghui smiled and said, "If Yin Zi heard you say this, he would definitely be sad, that person is rare to consider others, you are very special to him." ”
"It's just a good playmate, and if anything, he's very special to you."
Chu Linghui restrained his smile and said solemnly: "You should understand what I mean, I mean that he has a special affection for you." ”
"I'm not wrong, does he have feelings for you, so you must be together?" Lin Jiu said not to be outdone.
Chu Linghui held his forehead, "We are all men!" ”
"Who said men can't be together, you're sexist, and there is love between people of the same sex." Lin Jiu slapped the table and scolded angrily.
"Let me slow down, what was I going to say." Chu Linghui leaned back in his chair, and Lin Jiu's words obviously made him a little excited.
Although he is a good man, he can be regarded as an elegant person among some people, but this era still pays attention to the solitary yang is not long, and the yin and yang are harmonized, and I have not seen the family marrying a male lady.
Lin Jiu smiled in his heart, wanting to lead me astray, to see if you have that ability!
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Lu Yi has something to ask to see Master Chu." ”
"Mr. Lu is here, just right!" Without waiting for Chu Linghui to speak, Lin Jiu got up and opened the door.
Although Lu Xiucai still did not agree to be Chu Linghui's staff, he did not refuse to give him advice, which Lin Jiu could understand.
For a scholar who is extremely disappointed in the imperial court, not accepting the official position of the imperial court is his last stubbornness.
"Boss Lin!" When he saw Lin Jiu, Lu Xiucai's expression was a little embarrassed, "It seems that Lu Mou came at an inopportune time." ”
Lin Jiu pulled Lu Xiucai into the study, "At the right time, now Lord Chu's three views are damaged, if you don't treat them in time, there will be a risk that your three views will be shattered." ”
Lu Xiucai obviously hadn't reached the level where he could fully understand Lin Jiu's words, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lord Chu is injured?" ”
Chu Linghui said helplessly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, Mr. Lu doesn't know what happened when he came this time?" ”
Listening to Chu Linghui's words, Lu Xiucai's expression became serious, "It's a big problem, I heard from a friend that the three families of Zhang and Li Yan are working on the Book of the People, and when the Lord Yushi arrives, they will deliver it to the government of the people." ”
"Huh?" Lin Jiu was full of question marks, you must know that since Chu Linghui became the prefect of Yunzhou, he has not only visited the township many times, but also tried many unjust, false and wrongful cases left in the past, where does this harm to the people's wisdom come from?
Lu Xiucai explained: "Lord Chu collects money from the hands of those big families, and those big family owners refuse to suffer, so they have to find another place to make up for it, and the tenant farmers under him bear the brunt, and this year's land rent has increased by nearly thirty percent. ”
"So, these are all counted on Lord Chu's head?" Lin Jiu laughed angrily.
Chu Linghui said lightly: "This is expected. ”
Lin Jiu was silent, Chu Linghui was a very far-sighted person, and after taking Lin Jiu around, he gradually improved the plan to govern Yunzhou in combination with the experience brought by Lin Jiu.
There are people in Yunzhou who have land, but most of them are controlled by the landlords of the family.
Just like the saying of later generations, if you want to develop, you must liberate the productive forces, and how to achieve this is the key to this.
With the development of commerce, landlords saw the benefits, so they would exchange the original resources and land for capital, or build workshops in the city to sell their goods everywhere.
In this way, Yunzhou's taxes would be increased to redeem the land and distribute it in the name of the imperial court to the tenant farmers who could not survive in the city and were abandoned by the landlords, so that they truly became the people of the Great Zhou.
After preliminary calculations, Lin Jiu supplemented the technology in the space that can be applied to this era, which can basically guarantee that it will be effective in three years.
It's a pity that looking at the current situation, they don't seem to have three years, and it is really a bit fantastical to fight the world with the strength of two people.
