Because of the precipitation in the past few years, Qiu Changxin's thinking is much more mature than before. Of course, part of this is because he was born in a poor family and enjoyed the benefits of being an official after becoming an official, so some of his previous thoughts are slowly changing.

Therefore, when Emperor Yongsheng summoned him, his views were no longer as radical as before.

But the general idea has not changed, it is still necessary to start from the rich nobles and others, and take out the silver from their pockets.

He put forward a proposal that we should vigorously promote that the whole country, regardless of status or rank, should pay taxes uniformly as long as they have land and land.

At the same time, he also proposed a more prudent implementation method. It is to first find a place close to Yongdu to carry out a trial trial first, and then promote it to the whole country one by one.

From this you can see some of his changes. If it was in the past, he must have wished that he would personally preside over this major event and immediately promote it throughout the country.

When Emperor Yongsheng heard that this method was good, he called the ministers to discuss.

Although the ministers strongly opposed it, Emperor Yongsheng still decided to try it out for a while.

Being an emperor is sometimes so capricious. The point is what else he can say.

Emperor Yongsheng's idea was: This has not been done yet, how do you know that it can't be done? Anyway, it will be tried first, and whether it is feasible will have to wait for the final trial results to be determined.

The ministers saw that Emperor Yongsheng had made up his mind, so they could only find a way to choose a trial site.

Of course, the people didn't want to start the trial near Yongdu, and many of them had fields nearby. So everyone chose to choose, and finally chose Xuanyang City, where Emperor Yongsheng wanted to build a summer palace.

Anyway, it's not too far from Yongdu, and it's relatively remote. There is not much land involving the families and nobles.

Therefore, Xuanyang City was finally elected as a new development zone and experimental field with a high vote.

This is also what makes Wang Jibao and Wang Yuxun breathe a little sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is only a trial, and if there is any problem, it can be corrected in time. Otherwise, it will have to cause a counterattack from the vast majority of the nobles of the family, and if it is not done well, the world will be in chaos.

In the autumn, Wang Jibao and Wang Yuxun were rewarded by the spies, saying that they had found an abnormality in Linyang Mountain. There seems to be a large army guarding it, and it is quite heavily guarded. They tried to get in without being able to break in.

The reason why the spies were finally located in Linyang Mountain was because Wang Jibao and Wang Yuxun went to Linyang County in late spring to find the right direction.

Late spring is an excellent time for picking mountain vegetables in Linbei Province.

There are many mountains in Linbei Province, and there are many wild vegetables growing on the mountains in spring. In the past, people treated wild vegetables as worthless weeds, and kept what they could eat for themselves. I really couldn't eat it, and I fed it to chickens and ducks.

It was Wang Jibao who thought that in modern times, wild wild vegetables seem to be very expensive. She was also fortunate enough to eat it a few times, and she thought it tasted particularly delicious.

So he found people to collect a large number of mountain vegetables in various places, so that the local people made a lot of income.

These wild vegetables can be dried and preserved, or they can be pickled, just like Wang Jibao when he first made shiitake mushrooms.

Since it is this special season, it seems that they are sorry that they did not go out to go out and pick wild vegetables. So Wang Jibao asked people to prepare tools for outing and digging wild vegetables, and planned to take Wang Brown to play.

It happened that Wang Yuxun was resting, and he was not worried about Wang Jibao and Wang Palm, so he planned to go together.

To say that Emperor Yongsheng was able to calm down this time in order to find out the truth of the matter. Even if he dealt with so many corrupt officials, he didn't do anything to Fan Dayong and others.

Wang Yuxun also thinks this is very good, so as not to startle the snake.

Since she wanted to go on an outing, Wang Jibao decided to go to Linyang County. Drop by and ask what's going on there.

Because the place where he went was a little far, Wang Yuxun had to hand over all the things around him to Lu Yuan and the two masters to help deal with.

When they arrived in Linyang County, Wang Xibao decided that they would not live in the county seat this time, but to find a place with mountains, water, and a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, and find a farmer family with better conditions to live there.

Because of Wang Xu's disappearance last time, everyone still has lingering palpitations. So this time they went directly to the village chief's house and settled down. The rest of the guards found a place outside the village to set up tents and camp.

The arrival of Wang Jibao and his entourage was warmly welcomed by the village chief's family.

The old village chief was an old man in his sixties and very talkative. Seeing that Wang Jibao was a delicate and beautiful female doll like a little fairy, she opened the conversation box and chatted with her.

"Grandpa, I don't know if anything special has happened in Linyang County in the past few years?" After the conversation was acquainted, Wang Jibao began to knock on the side to sound.

"Something special? Nothing special. We are all blessed people, and we have met such a good official in Xu Zhi County. Never indiscriminately collect excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and never oppress the township. If we catch up with a bad year, Xu County Ling will help us find a way. The old village chief is such an old person, and when he talks about it, Xu Boyang's face is full of gratitude.

"Then old man, if you catch up with the disaster year, how will Xu Zhixian help you find a way?" As soon as Wang Jibao heard about the disaster, he hurriedly brought the topic to this.

"We'll definitely be exempted from taxes!" The little girl in front of her, who was well-dressed and came here with a group of guards, looked like a child who didn't understand the world, where would she understand the suffering of the world. In a disaster year, what the people look forward to most is, of course, tax reduction.

"I heard that other counties were hit by snowstorms the year before last, why didn't our county have them? Is there anything in our county that is different from other counties? This doubt has been in Wang Jibao's heart for a long time. But the people she sent reported that there had indeed been no snow disaster in Linyang County the year before last.

"That's? That's because there are no more places in Linyang County that are prone to snow disasters! The old man replied with a smile.

Something special in Wang Jibao's mind flashed. So he immediately asked, "No?" That means that there used to be such a place. ”

"Of course there used to be. We are mountainous here, and the villages in the cols are most prone to snowstorms. In particular, if the snow falls for a long time, the snow on the surrounding mountains cannot be retained, and it is easy to slide. This could flood nearby villages. If you build a house away from such a place and build a stronger house, won't this happen? The old man was also very enthusiastic to popularize the relevant knowledge to Wang Jibao.

"That is to say, there were people in Linyang County who lived in that kind of village before?" Wang Jibao grasped the key point in the old village chief's words in a timely manner.

"Yes, that's where our village used to live. Later, because of a big snowstorm, our whole village finally moved here. You see it's very close to the mountains now, but it's actually very far away. We used to live in the cols. The snow nearly destroyed the entire village. It is because of Xu Zhi County that the villagers who helped us survive rebuild the village here. ”

The old people still remember the snow disaster vividly. The whole village died a lot because of the snowstorm.

"When was that? After that, is there anyone like your grandfather in your village, where the whole village has migrated to another place and resettled? Wang Jibao asked seriously.

"Yes. In the villages near Linyang Mountain, the largest and highest mountain in the prefecture, all the villages were relocated because of the snowstorm. ”

The old man said as he thought about it.

At that time, the scene was called a mess.

Just imagine who wants to leave the place where their ancestors have lived for generations to start over in another strange place. But when it comes to life, everything has to stand aside.

Not everyone is used to the new place now, and even the younger generation doesn't know where their ancestral home is.

The old village chief said with trepidation: "Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that we left there early. It is said that there was a curse that no one would come out alive as long as they entered the mountain. So many people don't call it Linyang Mountain, but call it Death Mountain. After a long time, no one dared to go there or even mention it again. ”

"Grandpa, you haven't answered me yet, when did that happen?" Wang Jibao hurriedly asked.

"When?" The old village chief silently calculated the time in his heart, "It's probably more than twenty years ago." ”

"More than twenty years ago? Grandpa: At that time, Xu Zhixian didn't come here to be the magistrate for a long time, right? "It's no wonder that their people can't find anything for so long, it turns out that they have paid too much attention to recent years and ignored things that have been so long.

"Hmm. It should be the third year that Xu Zhixian has just arrived. To say that Xu Zhixian is really a good person! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know where to live. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be living more and more prosperous. I'm afraid there is no better magistrate in the world than him. ”

At that time, Xu Zhixian was still a young and handsome young man. Although he has become a family, there are still many young and beautiful girls who want to be his concubines. So the old village chief was quite impressed by this.

"Grandpa, have you heard that there are any displaced people and disaster victims missing here?"

"Missing? I've never heard of that. However, because of the good governance of our county, it is true that there are always many displaced people and disaster victims from other places who want to settle down in our county. Speaking of this, the old village chief was quite proud.

"Then old man, which mountain is Linyang Mountain you are talking about? Isn't the mountain here Jiaolinyang Mountain? "Didn't all the villagers say that this is the foot of Linyang Mountain? But apparently what the old village chief said was not the same as what the villagers said.
