Hao Xiangtong looked at Chu Qiguang's gaze, full of curiosity and doubt.

'He even knew about the peace talks and mutual markets before his father, what is the origin of this Chu Qiguang?'

The original Chu Qiguang was just a shabby poor boy in Hao Xiangtong's eyes, at most, he was very interesting to speak, and he wanted to hear him all the time.

But at this moment, in Hao Xiangtong's eyes, Chu Qiguang suddenly became mysterious, and the stories told at night seemed to have a different meaning.

Chu Qiguang listened to what the other party said, and knew that the Hao family had taken the bait, so he smiled slightly: "Then let's go." ”

This time, Chu Qiguang came to Hao's house, but it was the first time that he was received by Hao Wen, the current head of the family, in the living room.

Hao Wen ordered someone to serve tea, and then retreated from the people around him, leaving only his housekeeper Hao Fulai.

Then he and Chu Qiguang talked in a foggy manner, just to try to trick Chu Qiguang's words and see who was behind the other party.

Obviously, in the eyes of Hao Wen and Hao Erye, if the other party can know the policy of the imperial court one step in advance, there must be someone in Shenjing.

And Chu Qiguang's mind flashed with Hao Wen in front of him, as well as Wu Wei's information from the Wu family.

According to Qiao Zhi, these two people are both ambitious, talented, greedy and lustful, so they were left at home to take care of the family business, but they still often cause trouble for Wu Gelao.

Fortunately, now they are just relying on Wu Gelao's background to do business, buy land, and evade taxes...... It is an ordinary operation of the local haoright.

After Wu Ge Lao became the first assistant, he was a pit father, all kinds of fish and meat towns, clever and robbed, and the cultivated land in Qingyang County alone accounted for more than eighty percent, almost making the entire Qingyang County an independent kingdom.

But at the same time, a year after Wu Ge became the first assistant, the old man would personally start a vigorous reform. Measure the land, equalize the service, refresh the rule of officials, reform the horse administration, and the tea administration......

In the next ten years, this Wu Ge elder was above 10,000 people under one person, almost ignoring the existence of the court, which can be called a golden elephant leg that could not be thicker.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang's plan is to intervene in the confrontation between the Hao family, the Wu family and the magistrate, so as to hug Wu Ge Lao's thigh, and use the other party's reform, power and influence to complete his future goals.

Chu Qiguang naturally will not be arbitrarily set out of the details, seeing that Hao Erye did not enter the topic for a long time, Chu Qiguang took another sip of tea, and said directly: "I heard that the county lord has made a complaint, and many tenants have made trouble, I don't know what countermeasures Hao Daguan can have?"

The current policy of Hezhi County is to measure the land, calculate the size, ownership, and quality of the land under the name of each household, and then divide all the forced labor and taxes equally according to the land owned by each household.

This is equal servitude, the more land has to bear the more servitude taxes, of course, it can greatly reduce the burden of the people, but Chu Qiguang knows that this set of feudal dynasties is not a cure for the symptoms, because the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes accumulated from generation to generation have not been removed, but only flattened.

If you want to cure the root cause, you have to replace me. ’

Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi carefully, knowing that in the next month or two, the Wu family and the Hao family tried their best to delay, and even involved the prefect of Beiyue, the governor of Lingzhou, and the patrol, which made Qingyang County a lot of chickens and dogs.

But these things ...... At this moment, Hao Wen and Wu Wei didn't know that they were just as landlords who instinctively rejected He County's policy and were unwilling to spit out the meat in their mouths.

And Chu Qiguang's opposite...... Second Master Hao did not reply.

Yesterday, there was a conflict on the land of the Wu family and the Hao family, and He Zhi County brought the tenants who complained to measure the land, although Hao Wen and they led people to block it once, but the two families added up to so many fields, it was impossible to prevent it, and it was impossible to stop the people of the county government all the time.

Looking at Hao Wen's unhappy expression, Chu Qiguang said: "There is a way to do it, or it can be called He Zhixian to return in vain." ”

Hao Wen's expression did not speak, but Hao Fulai, the housekeeper on the side, said strongly: "Prince Chu, don't joke, measure the land, and pay taxes equally, this is a national policy." We should do our best to share the worries of the court and solve the problems of the people. ”

Chu Qiguang smiled, didn't look at the housekeeper, but stared at Hao Wen and said: "Hao Daguan, we Mingren don't say secret words, the national policy is indeed a national policy, but even if the imperial court wants to promote the whole country, there must always be a first come, first come, first come, it is impossible to achieve it overnight."

There is so much land in the Han world, and the land of one state, one county, and one county will go down, and if you respond to the policy a little earlier and a little later, it will be ten or twenty years short. ”

Chu Qiguang's words reached Hao Wen's heart, as a veteran landlord in Qingyang County, most of the family's property is in this field, and there is such a thing as returning the occupied field...... Even if it is a national policy, he is thinking that he can delay it for a few years, maybe he will drag it out if he changes the county?

Hearing this, the housekeeper Hao Fulai looked at Chu Qiguang with disdain: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, your martial arts are only one realm, and you have no merit and fame, what can you do to stop the dignified and county parents?"

Chu Qiguang glanced at the housekeeper, and always felt that the other party seemed to have a kind of hostility towards him, and thought in his heart: 'Or is this Hao Wen and the housekeeper singing red face and white face?'

Chu Qiguang looked at Hao Wen and said, "Hao Daguan, if you are willing to do me a favor and let me take a look at the county chronicles and guild codes of Qingyang County, I will definitely be able to find a way to make He Zhi County return in vain." ”

The county chronicles record the history, geography, customs, and so on of the county, and the guild records all the policy changes in Qingyang County from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present.

These two things were things that Chu Qiguang couldn't see even with the help of Li Shushou.

Chu Qi just looked at these two things, firstly, to find out if there was anything abnormal in the Chu family's life experience, secondly, to check whether there were any clues to the secret urn of the Purple Mansion, and finally to do the Wu family and the Hao family a favor by the way.

Steward Hao sneered: "As a result, you haven't even figured out a way? You still want to see the county chronicles and guild codes in the county? It's just whimsical." ”

He dissuaded Second Master Hao and said: "Master, so many of our families haven't come up with a safe way yet, this kid's origin is not clear, don't believe him." ”

Chu Qiguang frowned and looked at the housekeeper, once again confirming that the other party was indeed hostile to him, and felt a little strange in his heart. Because he hadn't seen each other before.

Hao Wen on the other side thought for a while, looked at Chu Qiguang and asked, "You can come up with a way after reading the county chronicles and the guild code?" How sure are you? You said in the direction of the Taoist temple to the Daozun. ”

Chu Qiguang turned to the direction of the Taoist temple and said slowly: "I have looked at the money and grain account books of Qingyang County over the years these days, and I have found a lot of problems in the county government, once I take it out, it is enough to make the county in a hurry. ”

Hao Wen nodded slightly, he has been in charge for so many years, of course he knows how many tax loopholes Qingyang County has accumulated after year of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and it is impossible for the new county magistrate to clarify it for a year and a half.

It can be seen that the county is just a three-year liuguan, and often the problems of the previous term have not been solved, and a bunch of new problems are left behind.

Chu Qiguang continued: "As long as I compare the county chronicles and guild codes again, I dare to swear to Xuantian Daozun, I am ninety percent sure that I can make He Zhixian retreat in the face of difficulties." ”

Hao Wen stared at Chu Qiguang, as if he was trying to see Chu Qiguang's reality clearly, but all he saw was a pair of clear eyes that were extremely firm.

And swearing to Daozun This kind of thing is still more credible in this era.

So Second Master Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you......"

After Chu Qiguang left, Steward Hao said to Hao Wen and Hao Erye: "Master, I think this Chu Qiguang is just a student who has just entered the Yingluo Pavilion, and I heard that he used to farm in that Wangjiazhuang, and he was a poor clay leg for eighteen generations. I don't know what the details are now, so if I use it rashly, will it be bad?"

Hao Wen glanced at the housekeeper with slanted eyes, and said casually: "Anyway, he came up with a way, and we have the final say on whether it is used or not." He's just a pawn, and the talent behind him is the key, and when he comes up with a way...... You can know who played the chess and what the purpose was. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. A trace of excitement and greed flashed in Hao Wen's eyes: "Next, I'll make a list for you, and you go and stock up immediately." We must rush to turn all the silver in our hands into iron pots, tea, elixirs, salt, and ...... before the exchange of markets."

Hao Wen said a lot of daily necessities that the northern demon clan urgently needed, and then said with a smile: "Once the news of the mutual market spreads, the price will at least increase several times......
