"Lady," Zhang Dalang was very happy to see Yuan Baoer.

Yuan Bao'er smiled at him, but couldn't go over, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhang Dalang shook his head, "After you leave, I will go to hide elsewhere, and then something happened to the yamen, I was worried about the car and the lady looking for it, so I went back to the guest house." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and nodded, "It's okay." ”

She stepped to the car, Zhang Dalang waited for her to go in and sit down before saying, "Lady, let's go back here?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded with a smile, tilted her head and saw that Wei Tang was still standing outside, so she said, "Senior brother, you have to come in." ”

Wei Tang hesitated and sat down in the wheel, "I'll be here." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, let him be.

She has been running around since the early hours of the morning, and until now, her physical strength has been completely overdrawn.

When the curtain was lowered, she took out the padded mattress that had been placed on the stool.

Leaning against the compartment, he fell asleep.

Wei Tang leaned on the carriage, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, thinking about the situation he would face when he returned to Beijing this time, and his eyes were heavy.

Before, they were in the household department, but they were just doing some small things like accounting.

I listen to the tunes of those adults who are worried about the country and the people every day.

Although he disdains it in his heart, he listens to it somewhat.

I thought that they would be able to remember their duties at best, but they didn't want him to take it for granted.

He tilted his head slightly, dodged the blowing wind, and said, "You and Master Gu knew each other before?" ”

The carriage was extremely quiet, Wei Tang waited for a while, and before he could answer, he lifted the curtain and saw Yuan Bao'er curled up in a ball and sleeping sweetly.

The light of the twilight was a little dim, but the light on the wall of the car flickered slightly and fell on her face, gilding her with a soft light.

A few mischievous strands of hair fell on her face, brushing her pursed mouth from time to time as the carriage swayed gently, and then slowly fell.

Yuan Baoer has a lively temperament, and she doesn't want other little ladies to follow the rules like others, and Wei Tang often forgets that it is actually a little lady who follows him.

But at this moment, Wei Tang clearly realized that Yuan Baoer was indeed a little lady, and she was still a very well-behaved and cute little lady.

Wei Tang's gaze flickered on her lips, and her heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Dalang listened to the silence next to him, and turned his head to look.

Wei Tang had lowered the curtain and sat upright.

Zhang Dalang only glanced at it, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he continued to shake the whip.

Wei Tang closed his eyes, leaned his head back slightly, as if he was pretending to sleep, no one knew that at this time, the scene he had just seen was constantly flashing in his mind.

Zhang Dalang hurried all the way, and finally entered the Beijing division before the curfew.

Wei Tang asked Zhang Dalang to put him at the gate of the city and knocked on the window.

Yuan Bao'er broke open her misty eyes and struggled to get out of the warm mattress.

"Senior brother," she poked her head out of her sleepy eyes, her pink lips pursed unconsciously.

Wei Tang looked at her watery apricot eyes, his throat slid down quickly, and a thought welled up in his heart that he wanted to rub it.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and Yuan Bao'er slowed down for a moment before she woke up.

"I'll go back first, don't go to the household department these days."

Yuan Bao'er nodded and asked him, "What about you?" ”

Wei Tang smiled, "They don't dare to do anything to me." ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded obediently, thought about it and said, "Senior Brother Cui, did you also inform me?" ”

"I will," Wei Tang nodded simply, and turned to leave.

Yuan Bao'er looked at his back for a while, then looked at the dark sky, and fell the curtain.

When he returned home, Cheng Li came out of the study.

"Grandfather," Yuan Bao'er trotted over.

Cheng Li held her down in front of him, "Be steady." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, turned her head and saw that Cuixin and Mama Wang were there, so she said, "I'm going to starve to death, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Yes," Mama Wang said straight to the kitchen.

"And Da Lang, he didn't eat either," Yuan Bao'er said in a loud voice, pulling Cheng Li into the study.

When Cui Xin saw her like this, she knew that she had something to say, and she was busy standing at the door.

Yuan Bao'er finished talking about the things along the way, and when she saw that her grandfather was silent with a calm face, she whispered: "Grandfather, am I in trouble?" ”

Cheng Li came back to his senses and smiled at her, "It's okay." ”

"The cloth guards have intervened in this matter, and the others will be interested in it."

Yuan Bao'er blinked, and said a little incredulously: "Then what?" What kind of land is gone? ”

Cheng Li smiled, "Do you know how many families there are in the court?" How many in-laws do they have, and how many of them are married, and how many of these are officials in the court? ”

"With such an intricate web of relationships, the slightest carelessness can cause turmoil."

"Your Majesty is seeking stability now, and this matter will not be a big deal."

Yuan Bao'er's eyes widened and she silently resisted.

Cheng Li didn't know what she was thinking, he touched her head, and said softly: "Your Majesty's patience is for the overall situation, but this is also a limit, all we can do is wait." ”

Yuan Bao'er vaguely understood what her ancestor meant, but thinking about the displaced people who were detained, she felt a little sad in her heart.

"Grandfather, those homeless people are very pitiful, and some of them shouldn't be homeless."

Cheng Li knew that she was soft-hearted, so he said, "What do you want?" ”

Yuan Bao'er said in a low voice: "Doesn't Your Majesty want to implement the official and civilian system? ”

"The fields in the mountains were originally cultivated by them, so why don't they make them official and let them plant them."

"The court has taxes, and they can also rely on it for a living, isn't it cheap?"

Cheng Li nodded slightly.

"The Tao is also a way."

Yuan Bao'er said again: "Changle County is only an hour away from Jingshi, and this can happen so closely, and I am afraid that it will be even more rampant if it is farther away." ”

Cheng Li looked at her quietly.

Yuan Baoer said: "Today, when I look at those people, they actually don't want to be tenant farmers. ”

"It can be deduced from this, and people everywhere else must think the same."

"So I thought it would be possible to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree that all lands that are not recorded in the field register be recorded as terra nullius, and that the people who open up the land should be divided by head and let the government control it."

After speaking, Yuan Baoer looked at Cheng Li expectantly.

Cheng Li couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty thought about this method more than ten years ago."

Yuan Bao'er was stunned.

"Why?"

Cheng Li sighed: "The family is not only a large number of people, but also their relationship is intertwined, and the officials protect each other, who can be sure that the number of acres on the field book is correct?" ”

"The territory of the Qing Dynasty is so large, there is only one emperor, how can we determine where is the newly opened wasteland?"

"If the person who opens up the wasteland is the son of a family, how can this be counted?"

Cheng Li's questions were one after another, and Yuan Baoer was stammered when asked.

Cheng Li smiled, "Your Majesty knows that this matter is a decades-long plan, and it can't be completed in a moment, so it took so long to start doing it slowly." ”

Yuan Bao'er quieted down.

Cui Xin knocked lightly on the door, "Lady, the face is ready." ”

Yuan Bao'er sighed, went over and opened the door, and saw Mama Wang coming over with noodle soup.

Yuan Bao'er was already hungry at this time, and she was eating slowly.

Cheng Li saw that Yuan Bao'er was in the dust, so he asked Cuixin and Mama Wang to boil water, and said to Yuan Bao'er, who was bored and hard-working: "Take a bath later, so that you can sleep." ”
