When Shao Beicheng strode into the inner room, Rong Yu was quietly drinking tea, and his expression was not unusual.

He was a little surprised: "Mrs. Ge said, look at you uncomfortable?" ”

Rong Yu lowered his eyes and stared at the tea cup: "I've been lying down for a long time and just got up a little dizzy, but it's much better now......"

As soon as Baozhu left, Rong Yu thought that she might have gone to invite Shao Beicheng.

Shao Beicheng treated her very nervously, not to mention three illnesses and two pains, even if she used half a bowl of rice one day, he would also call the cook who was in charge that day to ask in person, and over time, the people around her also became extremely nervous about her affairs, and if something was slightly wrong, she would always go to Shao Beicheng.

She thought it was an exaggeration.

The people around her, like General Ge and Baozhu, like Tian Cook and Guo'er, are all loving couples, but none of them are so concerned about their wives as husbands.

She pondered that Shao Beicheng had subconsciously used the caution of marching and arranging the formation on her.

In this way, although she was a little restrained, she didn't dare to remind Shao Beicheng to be lenient with her......

After all, if he was careless on the battlefield, his life could be at risk......

It wasn't until she returned to Kyoto this time that she discovered that there were men in this world who were more exaggerated than Shao Beicheng.

She once had a meal at the eldest sister's house, and inadvertently mentioned that spring was the season to eat wild vegetables, and the eldest sister ordered the maid to ask the next recipe to arrange wild vegetables, and soon the maid came to answer, saying that Master Mu felt that wild vegetables were cold, so he only arranged two cases for his wife.

Rong Yu only learned that the eldest sister had been married for more than ten years, and every meal and dish was personally arranged by the eldest brother-in-law......

Rong Yu is simply breathtaking!

Later, her children held a 100-day banquet, and her extremely wealthy cousin of the Shen family came to the banquet with his family, and she saw how Shen Xun treated her cousin......

It can only be said that in these bells and whistles, no one in the world can compare with Shen Xun......

That's another story.

And right now, Rong Yu originally felt very ashamed and uncomfortable because she thought that Mrs. Shao and the others would know about the couple's absurd behavior in Zhujiazhuang, but during the time when Baozhu went to find Shao Beicheng, she felt that she couldn't continue like this......

You can't be so thin-skinned. Like the eldest sister, Nanyan, and Baozhu, she was very calm when she talked about the boudoir, but she was red and teased by them again......

It's just a joke from someone close to you.

She was thin-skinned, and at that time, she couldn't even finish her words, and she just hummed in a low voice......

Shao Beicheng can come freely......

During the day, he was obedient to her......

Therefore, in this short period of time, Rong Yu has decided to change, and he must also talk about the boudoir calmly......

Thick-skinned is originally her forte......

Thinking like this, Rong Yu strengthened his courage and said gossiply: "The Appropriate Talent Jewel asked me where I was unwell in the past two days...... It occurred to me that this was a grange, and that my grandmother would know about my bedridden......"

"I don't want them to worry about ......"

Rong Yu lowered his eyes and said, feeling very calm, but the hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly.

Shao Beicheng watched it very interesting, but he didn't dare to laugh.

This time he had gone too far, and if he annoyed her again, he might be kicked out of the bedroom......

There is also a precedent for this.

About a few years ago, Rong Yu once went out to worship the Buddha, during that time he was just going to inspect the border defense, and when they reunited, the husband and wife had not had sex together for half a year.

It was the first time since they had been married that they had been separated for so long, and he thought of her very much, but at night she told him that a certain teacher had confessed too much, and that he could only have sex with him after bathing and fasting for seven days.

He wasn't impatient......

That time, it was really unbearable.

In the end, I coaxed her in the middle of the night, and finally got her wish......

Then he was driven to the study and slept for a month......

So he knew that what was more bitter than missing his wife in the tent was that he couldn't enter the bedroom door when her wife was close in front of him......

Therefore, Rong Yu had to pretend to be calm, and Shao Beicheng had to pretend not to see her hands trembling: "It's true that they shouldn't be worried, it's because I didn't think it through...... I'm going to give an explanation, so that they don't have to go back to everything, so as not to bother Grandmother! ”

If they don't reply, Mrs. Shao won't know......

Rong Yu was suddenly relieved, only then did she dare to raise her eyes to look at Shao Beicheng, she was obviously very happy in her heart, but her tone was still unusual: "Okay!" ”

Shao Beicheng felt more and more interesting when he saw her covering her ears and stealing the bell, and finally couldn't help but tease her: "Since your body has been raised, you don't have to worry about the elders, then ...... tonight."

Rong Yu looked at Shao Beicheng's dark eyes, his deep voice was in his ears, his heartstrings trembled, and his face turned red instantly......

She was so angry!

Why didn't she see that he was such a disciple before!

Even now, others must think that he is a cold and upright general, and they would never think that he is such a virtuous behind closed doors!

Rong Yu glared at Shao Beicheng hatefully, didn't see his cheeky smile, and finally didn't know what to do, so he simply buried his head on the table!

Shao Beicheng couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.

After laughing twice, he immediately realized: not good......

His next words and deeds will determine his fate tonight and even the next month......

So, Shao Beicheng coughed lightly twice, and when he spoke again, his tone was very serious, without half a bit of banter: "You are in better health, and I just have something to discuss with you......

Shao Beicheng said eloquently, and Rong Yu really straightened up slowly and looked at Shao Beicheng seriously.

It's about the Grange.

On the way here, Shao Beicheng had already told Rong Yu that Zhujiazhuang was nominally a grange purchased by the Shao family from the disabled old department, but in fact it was not.

The farm work is heavy and requires strong labor.

The border has been fighting for more than a hundred years, and the most elite laborers of the Great Zhou have gone to the battlefield.

Many never return to their hometowns.

Those who were lucky enough to come back were more or less wounded, and these disabled soldiers or their families could not take care of the fields.

When a man is in the army, the military household can reduce taxes and silver, plus the salary, even if the harvest in the field is worse, life can go on.

But when the men were killed or wounded, it was not the case.

Without the silver, there is no tax reduction or exemption from the silver.

Clearing the land and setting the tax on silver was one of the important measures taken by Mrs. Zhang when he was in charge of the government and implemented the new law in the past.

The imperial court had tax money to recruit troops, and because of the new law, the first emperor could make two northern expeditions.

In his previous life, Rong Yu was grateful to Mrs. Zhang for his guidance, so he specially read some articles about the new law.

At that time, Rong Yu was full of reverence and gratitude for Mrs. Zhang, and she was shocked after reading the new law for the first time, and she felt sorry for Mrs. Zhang and the new law in her heart.

Such a good set of laws only lasted for more than ten years before it came to an abrupt end with the death of Emperor Xiaozong.

Emperor Xiaozong was the grandfather of the present.

The implementation of the new law was the lifelong wish of Zhang Taifu, who was the emperor who personally taught him and who was also the emperor who succeeded after defeating Queen Fu with the support of Zhang Taifu.

However, after the first emperor ascended the throne, not only did not vigorously implement the new law, but revived the old party, and when Duan Wang was in charge later, except for the operational laws such as the tax and silver law and the military household law, which were of great benefit to the imperial court, the rest of the new laws were mostly abolished.

In his previous life, Rong Yu watched King Duan gradually revive the new party under the suppression of the first emperor and the old party, and looked forward to the new law after he ascended the throne.

If she can survive that winter, she will be able to see King Duan ascend the throne.

But she didn't make it through.

This time, she saw King Duan ascending the throne.

It's just that after King Duan ascended the throne, he did not widely implement the new law.

Rong Yu doesn't understand government politics and has no ability to guide rivers and mountains, she just feels a little sorry for Mrs. Zhang in her heart.

Such a smart person, who has been planning all his life, did not look forward to the new law in Kyushu and the four seas are clear!

As for the relationship between the tax and silver law and this Zhujiazhuang......

The old tax and silver law followed the practice of the previous dynasty, collecting grain according to households, and families with a large number of people paid more taxes and grains.

But more people do not mean more fields, nor does it mean that the harvest is good, and later, like the previous dynasty, there were homeless people, and there were powerful families who hid homeless people and cultivated the famine privately.

Tax grain is transported to the Huangcang from all over the country, and it is inevitable that it will be "lost".

In the end, more and more fields were cultivated, and the imperial court received less and less tax grain.

Looking at it this way, the new law is indeed better than the old law.

Fields are a more realistic reflection of income than people, and taxes and silver are better managed than taxes and grain.

However, there are still problems.

The Great Perimeter is vast, and the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River and the dry fields in the northwest are not the same thing, and the same amount of tax and silver is not the same thing for different families.

Taking military households as an example, after the soldiers were killed or wounded, the old and weak women and children had little strength, and the harvest dug out of the fields was not even enough to pay taxes, not to mention the chewing of the whole family, and most of those fields could not be kept in the end.

Unable to bear to see the old family scattered, the Shao family gradually began to "buy" these fields, and the living needs of the Zhuang households were borne by the Zhuangzi, and if there was a surplus in a year, it would be put into the public account, and if there was a shortfall, it would be made up by the public.

In this "buying", the price is often lower than the market price.

When the children of those soldiers grew up, the Shao family left it to their own discretion, either to get back the land deed for free, to make a living, or to continue to be a farmer.

There was kindness in this transaction, and few people got the land deed back.

Over the years, there have been more and more such granges in Shaojia Gongzhong.

There are so many granges, but there is not much cash in the Shao family.

Shao Beicheng said to Rong Yu about the pending matter: "There is a mother and son surnamed Zhong in Zhujiazhuang, the young man was admitted to the Guozijian last year, and Aunt Zhong wants to sell the Zhong family's land to the Shao family completely, and then take the young man to work in the city to facilitate his education." ”

"This is a good thing, in my opinion, not only to allow it, but also to reward the boy and inspire other children to do the same!"

Shao Beicheng's tone gradually became solemn: "The embarrassment is that after Aunt Zhong submitted an invitation to sell land, several more families also proposed to sell land......

……

Jinling, Bailu Academy.

Even though it was spring, the forest wind still carried a chill.

A young man in a half-old stone blue cloak stood in the middle of the forest, his back straighter than the green pine.

But his face was very pale.

He had stood for a long time with a note in his hand.

Finally, he put away the note, looked north, and then turned to leave.

A snow-white carrier pigeon fluttered its wings behind him.
