Chapter 158: Don't Guard
"When there was turmoil in Yuan Thailand, what did a prince do?" Zhen Zhen asked.
"I guess it's debt collection." Feng Hanzhao said, "Do you remember that last year, Yuantai asked for 200,000 taels of silver, 200,000 catties of rice, 200,000 pieces of cloth, and 200,000 catties of tea? ”
"Did you really give it?"
"Of course. Do you think that children's play can not be counted? ”
"I mean, shouldn't peace and friendship be a two-way street? What did Yuantai give us? ”
"Ten horses were given." Feng Hanzhao sneered.
"Ten horses? A horse is worth a maximum of a few dozen taels of silver, and even if I am a good horse, it will cost a thousand taels of silver. It's not equivalent at all! ”
"Do you know that each of these ten horses is tall and majestic, with a strong physique and excellent endurance? It can be regarded as a good horse for Yuantai, but the problem is that such good horses can be seen everywhere in Yuantai, and my Daning Dynasty can't raise such horses! This horse was not sent for an equivalent transaction, but for Yuantai to show off his strength. They are threatening that Yuantai's war horses can wreak havoc in the land of Daning! ”
"It's really cheap and good. It's too much of a deception! ”
"So they're here again this year." Feng Hanzhao sighed, "Greed is not enough to swallow elephants. ”
"Or do you want those things from last year?" Zhen Zhen asked.
"The envoys of Yuantai have not yet arrived in Shangdu, and the specific conditions are not yet known. There are new tricks every year, and I don't know what I want more this year. ”
"Why did the emperor endure such humiliation?" Zhen Zhen was puzzled.
"The emperor has always believed in the rule of inaction. He believed that the less a monarch did, the more he would get. ”
"How do you understand that?"
"If the king wants less things, the courtiers will not compare with the king's gifts or do what he likes, and the people below will of course be more relaxed."
"Oh." Zhen Zhen felt that there was still some truth in the old emperor's governance, "But if you blindly tolerate and give the wealth of the people of Daning to Yuantai for free, will the people really be relaxed?" ”
"Who called us inferior horses? Once the war starts, no one is sure that they will be able to win Yuantai. Feng Hanzhao said: "And I suspect that this Lian Jun's so-called family matter is that the envoy is coming, and he has to make some preparations."
"Listen to her, she will come to me in the future. When the time comes, you can ask who she is. ”
"Can you ......?"
Before Feng Hanzhao finished speaking, Zhen Zhen cut off: "No." I can't hide at home because of this Lianjun, and I can't stop opening the Joy Shop just because she will come. ”
Feng Hanzhao smiled dotingly: "You can't say anything before I say anything, as if I cut off your financial route."
Zhen Zhen was poked by him, and his face turned red: "Then what do you want to say?"
"I said, can you bring more guards when you go out in the future? I'll arrange someone for you. ”
"Huh? Is it necessary? There's always a man following, and I'm afraid I'm not used to it. "Actually, Zhen really doesn't want to take one more person out.
"But I'm worried."
"I'm coming to you now, and Feng Qi will pick you up. There is also a coachman to pick up and drop off when you go to the Luguo Mansion. There's no need to send another guard, right? If someone really has a bad plan, it's useless to have an extra guard. Zhen Zhen was very arrogant, but he didn't expect it to be a prophecy in the future.
"Otherwise, if you go to other places, you must talk to Feng Qi in advance, and he will arrange for someone to follow you." Feng Hanzhao insisted on strengthening security measures.
Zhen Zhen understood Feng Hanzhao's thoughts, and didn't say anything about refusal, after all, she rarely went to other places. Still, she felt that he was overreacting.
"How are you doing in those two counties this time?" Zhen Zhen found another topic.
"The newly opened land was planted with food. As long as the man has the strength to work, he has land to plant. ”
"What about taxes?" Zhen Zhen asked. Because it is Feng Hanzhao's fief, the tax is handed over to Feng Hanzhao.
"Tithe." Feng Hanzhao said, "This is the standard set by the emperor's grandfather. ”
That is, the peasants have to hand over one-tenth of their grain.
"Listen to your tone, don't you need to pay so much?"
"It's okay to have a little less, like Shiwuyi." Feng Hanzhao said, "However, tithes also have the benefit of tithing, and you can use the overcharged taxes to open a county school." This winter, during the slack season, an arithmetic class was held. ”
"What? You said you opened an arithmetic class in the county school? Who are you recruiting? ”
"They are all talents, or children who are preparing for the township exam."
Zhen Zhen said: "I don't remember when I heard someone say it, this talent is only two or three out of a hundred people; As for the Jinshi, there is only one in 10,000 people. Is that so? ”
Feng Hanzhao said: "Almost. It is indeed a very expensive thing to provide for a scholar. ”
"How many people are in your arithmetic class?"
"A dozen of them. I estimate that after one year of study, I should be able to complete the most basic content. And then let them go back to their hometowns to teach other people. With these people as the foundation, it will be much easier to do things in terms of land in the future. ”
"No wonder Guozijian can't recruit friends with the title, you are not in a hurry at all, it turns out that you keep your back hand." Zhen Zhen said.
"The first time I did this, I don't know how effective it is. It was also this time that I went to personally inspect their studies before I could tell you about it. "In terms of saying and doing, Feng Hanzhao is definitely a giant of action and a dwarf of words.
"How? Are their homework qualified? "Zhen Zhen is still very interested.
"I really can't learn, I will go home before the Chinese New Year. The rest of these people are okay. ”
"It's good to be literate and do arithmetic." Zhen Zhen sighed, "Lord Wang, have you ever thought about organizing all school-age children to learn literacy and arithmetic? ”
"This ...... Really didn't think about it. ”
"Actually, I also agree with what you just said, that the overcollected taxes can be taken from the people and used by the people. For example, running schools, building roads, repairing canals, water conservancy, and even medicine, etc., can be used to do many things. ”
"The things you said are basically done by clan relatives with the same surname now." Feng Hanzhao said.
"So this will cause people to only have a family in their eyes, not a country. As long as the interests of the family are affected, they will fight to the death; But when the country is in trouble, as long as it does not harm the interests of the family, he will not care who sits on the dragon chair. Zhen Zhen's words were sharper, but Feng Hanzhao was not unhappy.
Zhen Zhen continued: "What's more, it is impossible for the clan clan to solve all the problems. There will also be conflicts between different clans, and this is when the government needs to intervene. At least we can start with those who don't have clan protection. ”
"It's a way. Looks like you're thinking a lot about things. Feng Han shook his head.
......
On the first day of Feng Hanzhao's return, the two talked for an afternoon.
When he left the Qingjiang Palace, Zhen Zhen had a sense of stability in his heart, was it because Feng Hanzhao was back?
