When Wu Chuanyu saw this, he was worried.

Since the founding of this dynasty, all those who have made meritorious contributions can not only study abroad, do not kneel when they see officials, wear swords and swords on their faces, etc., but also have the most important privilege, which is tax exemption.

Spring and Autumn two taxes can be exempted, such a clan out of a person or even a talent and the like, there are a large number of the same clan to vote, as his tenants, not to mention the Jinshi and the first officials, in this way, all the fields, can be exempt from tax, and even in the famine year the government has to subsidize these famous local strong clans, the top ten county schools, three stones of grain per month, the Spring and Autumn Period and cloth and silk to send down, to fund students, other privileges are not the same, although the founding of the country is less than a hundred years, but there are already a large number of meritorious people.

Zhang Wenhong's family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and is a famous landowner, and in the past, Wu Chuanyu's Yan family, the long house is not mixed with the rivers and lakes, on the contrary, the long house is a scholarly door, there are five talents, one lifts people, and the second room of Fang Wu is concerned, but there is no scholar, and he can't talk in the court, so everything must be headed by the long house, which shows the right of the scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the problem is that the scholars do not levy taxes, and the scholars and the officialdom can talk, so they do business, they can use all kinds of means to evade taxes, the current commercial tax is only twenty taxes one, these twenty taxes are often not collected, the emperor once wanted to collect mining taxes and sea taxes, hinting that Wu Mingxun and his faction wrote a letter to talk about increasing taxes, and was immediately opposed by Wu Zhangzhang, Zhang Huaifeng and other orthodox factions, because whether it is a mining tax or a sea tax, in fact, the scholars have already monopolized, if the tax is collected, isn't it received from their heads? The emperor was furious, and the mouthpiece of the orthodox faction was demoted to Qiongya, and immediately stabbed the hornet's nest, and scolded the emperor's officials to reach hundreds, which was already more than ten years ago when the current emperor was young and vigorous.

Later, the emperor learned to be honest and knew that he couldn't work hard with officials and soldiers, so he promoted a large number of "treacherous" people, namely Wu Mingxun, Wu Yuanji, as well as the husband and the husband of the celebrant guard, these people are the evil party in the mouth of the Qingliu orthodox, because they specially provoked the emperor to do some evil things, such as monitoring the river transportation, which made the orthodox lose a lot of fat, the emperor savagely sent the Tai Surveillance to the river, and every year the river and silver should be treated by two parties to make different accounts, which makes the righteous men and gentlemen intolerable, and for example, individual parties called to reopen the banknote customs, the emperor wanted to send the imperial superintendent to investigate, and the tea tax was re-levied, which was even more intolerable to the righteous people and gentlemen, how could the emperor compete with the scholars for profitIf the evil party in the court is not eliminated, the righteous men and gentlemen will not stop for a day, and they will be scolded, and the emperor is not virtuous.

And this Fang Ju people, is a member of the orthodox faction in the opposition, but also one of the tens of thousands of scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty, like many people, Fang Ju people do not pay taxes, and he has thousands of households under his door, these households do not have to pay taxes, their rents are all handed over to Fang Ju people, Fang Ju people and the county order, the government and other village gentry have a deep friendship, it is the typical image of scholars at this time.

Wu Chuanyu drove out of the carriage from the stone bridge into Fangjiazhuang, with the rise of the exile army, the local security is becoming stricter and stricter, Wu Chuanyu saw that many strong men on both sides of the stone bridge held weapons, standing on both sides, constantly checking, the coachman recognized the person who was checking, and naturally he could be released smoothly.

Entering the Zhuangzi, passing by rows of poplar trees, passing a few rows of houses, this is where the Fang family lives, when the carriage goes up, you see a school field, row by row of strong men are practicing, those strong men number about a thousand, all of them are wearing blue cloth short clothes, individual leaders, there is armor on their bodies, ordinary strong men only have spears, as well as knives and the like, the level of these strong men has Wu Chuanyu It seems that I am afraid that it is not very lawful, I think these people are recruited by Fang Juren temporarily, not the original Fang family.

Went up the road again, and finally arrived at the gate of Fang Juren, passing by a few archways, all of which were to commend the ancestors of the Fang family, including a chaste archway for women, and wanted to come to the Fang family to pass on poems and books, but I am afraid that there are several generations.

Wu Chuanyu got out of the car and gently helped Shui Mingfu out, while the mother-in-law had already come out, grabbed out and helped Shui Mingfu to go backwards, Wu Chuanyu wanted to follow and take a look, but there was a person on the side, it was the master who recruited himself during the day, and the master said: "Hu Zhuangshi, please, the master is feasting all the strong men, if Hu Zhuangshi comes, please come in together." "It turns out that Master Fang has recruited more than one Wu Chuanyu, and he must have recruited a lot.

Wu Chuanyu didn't care, Shui Mingfu was humiliated by Se Gongzi, in Wu Chuanyu's heart, Se Gongzi was already the number one enemy in his heart, and he served Fang Juren, just so that Shui Mingfu could produce with peace of mind, he didn't have any intention of competing for fame and fortune, and he didn't care much about what specifications Fang Juren used to entertain him.

Follow the master into the hall, the servant woman holding the wine on the side of the road from time to time passed by, I think it is really very lively inside, Wu Chuanyu followed the master into the three entrances, then saw a lobby, dozens of men sat on both sides, including several military men wearing military armor, Wu Chuanyu heard Zhang Fan talk about the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, look at the color of the uniform, know that these military men are thousands of generals, put the general class, the highest of them, seems to be a thousand generals, now everyone is sitting on both sides, is taking turns to salute, very lively.

Wu Chuanyu followed the guidance of the master, sat at the bottom, and looked at a group of people, except for a few officers, the others were the same as themselves, they were the Jianghu characters recruited by Fang Juren, presumably they were all outstanding in martial arts, these people all sat at the bottom, looking at the figure, all of them were strong men with five big and three thick, presumably the standard for Fang Ju to select people was physical strength.

Wu Chuanyu sat down silently, and said loudly who didn't know what Mr. Qian was: "Fang Juren don't have to worry, there are a few brothers in the left front guard, and they will definitely not be frightened." "It turned out that these were several officers of the local garrison, but looking at the figures, these people ate like fat pigs one by two, and the sebum on their bodies was shiny, and they thought they had never fought any battles.

Fang Juren raised his glass and said: "With the help of Lord Wu Sanxiang, presumably Liukou will not be able to beat Fangjiazhuang." "This is exactly the thousand chief officials of this tunwei, who are very familiar with Fang Juren on weekdays.

Wu Sanxiang said: "Master Fang, rest assured, there are more than 100 sets of cotton armor in the left front guard, which will be handed over to the master in the near future, and there are more than 50 sets of swords and shields in the guard warehouse, and more than 100 sets of bows and arrows, all of which can be brought together." ”

When Fang Juren heard this, his face was happy, and he said, "Thank you General Wu so much." Originally, a guard officer was not a "general", and Fang Juren called him a general in order to give him face, which was extremely polite. Thinking about coming to Fang Juren's scholarly family, born in a literati, it is really rare to be so polite to a Qiu Ba.

I didn't want to be the first military attaché, who was tall and wore a cotton armor, and sat at the bottom of the group of military attachés, and suddenly said: "Lord Wu, no, if you sell all the weapons in the guard, what will the soldiers do?" The military attaché's face was red, he must have endured it for a long time before he said this, originally drinking the blood of soldiers and selling weapons were common, but it was mostly in the peaceful years, and now the situation was suddenly rising, at this time, it was extremely unwise to steal and sell weapons, but on the other hand, weapons were only sold at a high price in times of war.

Wu Sanxiang's face sank suddenly, and several military attachés behind Wu Sanxiang also said in unison: "Zhang Jiayu, you are drunk." "Zhang Jiayu, don't talk nonsense. ...... "Yunyun." Presumably, this Zhang Jiayu's military attache is extremely ostracized in this group.

Zhang Jiayu suddenly stood up during the banquet, and was shocked for a while, Zhang Jiayu said loudly: "A group of you people drink the blood of soldiers and eat empty salaries on weekdays, thinking that I don't know, Wu Sanxiang, I know your plan, do you want to force the military households away, and then you can occupy the military field, so that you can report the empty salary, eat the empty amount, and you also stole and sold all the weapons in the warehouse, do you think I don't know?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Juren and the military attachés couldn't hang up, what Zhang Jiayu said was the truth, and Wu Sanxiang sold the military fields of the general's household to Fang Juren, and at this time, even Fang Juren was involved.

Wu Sanxiang scolded: "Zhang Jiayu, what do you think you are, don't block everyone's financial path, otherwise, you will be good-looking." ”

Wu Chuanyu could see clearly, at this time he was still immersed in the joy that Shui Mingyun promised him, and he didn't hear it completely, only to see a military attache who seemed to have a conflict with the officials and was making noise.

Then Wu Chuanyu saw that Zhang Jiayu rushed out, and shouted: "I want to report to the commander, report your evil deeds, my group of guards, you don't want to move......" The body brought a while of wind, rushed out from in front of Wu Chuanyu, and no one dared to stop him, this military attache is quite martial arts, his steps are heavy and powerful when he walks, he is a cultivated person, Wu Chuanyu has seen Zeng Meng, and said in his heart: "This military attache has practiced a good martial arts, listening to the voice, I am afraid that he is also a good hand." ”

Inside, Fang Juren was comforting Wu Sanxiang, and Fang Ju said: "Lord Wu, don't worry, Commander Yang and I also know each other, and when the time comes to hand over a name sticker, there must be nothing to do." Wu Sanxiang was stunned, and he drank wine again.

Wu Chuanyu and the recruited Jianghu men are not the protagonists of this banquet, presumably it is Fang Juren who entertains the officials, Wu Chuanyu accompanies him, watching the crowd salute and salute, when it is his turn, he still drinks it, Shui Mingyu is willing to be with him, this is the best thing in the world, Wu Chuanyu does not care about others, he is still immersed in it.

After a group of people finished drinking, naturally a servant woman came up to clean up the banquet, and during the banquet, Fang Juren also toasted to a group of Jianghu characters one by one, which can be regarded as giving face to this crowd, Wu Chuanyu drank a glass with Fang Juren, and Fang Juren seemed to be unable to remember him at this time.

Wu Chuanyu followed the dragon mother and went to the courtyard, the characters in the rivers and lakes were arranged in the backyard, and Wu Chuanyu also placed a small courtyard, which is Fang Juren's care for people with families, Fang Juren likes these family people more, for no other reason, after the family goes into battle, he thinks about the family in his heart, and he will not run away, and if he does not have a family, when the time comes, no one can do it.

Wu Chuanyu followed Mother Long into the courtyard, and saw Shui Mingfu sitting under the lamp in the main hall waiting for him, a warmth rose in his heart, waved his hand to let Mother Long go back, walked into the courtyard, and said softly: "Mingyun, you are not in good health, it is better to rest earlier." He doesn't have the desire for men and women at all, and now Shui Mingfu has a big belly, of course he won't have that kind of thought, Wu Chuanyu loves Shui Mingxiang in his heart, how could he let her do something she doesn't want to do.

Shui Mingfu hummed lightly and said, "Is there any latest news?" and tell me, I am also from a family, so I can help you analyze it." She had a gentle voice and was extremely caring.

Wu Chuanyu touched her hair and said: "Don't worry, Cui Guiyuan ordered all localities to organize their own group exercises, this side has recruited at least 3,000 people, and there is a cantonment guard not far from here, reporting 3,005 troops, so many people, even if the attack is insufficient, the defense is enough, you don't have to worry." ”

Shui Mingfu nodded lightly, hugged into Wu Chuanyu's arms, that night, Wu Chuanyu sat in the outer hall all night, he didn't dare to put down the matter of practicing martial arts for a day, since he saw Zhang Cunren's power of the heavens and the earth, Ayu stepped on the cloud-like light skills, he no longer dared to look down on the world's martial arts practitioners, Wu Chuanyu was also calculating in his heart, if there was a case, this side would also let the exile army break through, then when the time came, he would take Shui Mingfu to run, and he would also have a high level of martial arts, which was to practice martial arts more diligently.

In the early morning, Wu Chuanyu arrived at the school field, Fang Juren had already arrived in the field, but at this time, he saw Fang Juren's face was anxious, and he was angry at the following subordinates, those subordinates were not dressed as servants of the Fang family, it seemed to be from another family, Wu Chuanyu faintly heard: "How can this be, you want to drive your sister out of the door wall......

Wu Chuanyu said to the coachman who was standing on the side, who was pulling the car for himself yesterday: "Brother Fang Xianfa, what happened?"

Fang Xianfa said: "The eldest daughter of the master is Miss Chang, something happened at home, Miss Chang's mother-in-law asked the master to send someone to take Miss Chang back." ”

The roar of the person from afar came: "My daughter is destined to keep festivals, my family has passed down poems, books and etiquette for generations, and the women of the Fang family must keep festivals, which is not negotiable." ”

A young servant who didn't want to be below suddenly retorted: "Master Fang, let's not talk darkly, don't you just want to get my Hu family's share of the family property?" Let me tell you clearly, my old lady has already found the Hu family's foreign descendants to succeed you, you have no hope." The voice was very loud, and he was not afraid of the people behind him hearing it, and he seemed not afraid of Fang Juren at all.

Fang Juren was silent for a moment, paused, and stopped speaking.

The housekeeper-like servant of the Hu family at the bottom said: "Master Fang, if you don't pick it up, it's okay, the old lady has an order to drive the lady outside the fort, and when the militia comes, what are the consequences, don't say that our Hu family has not fulfilled its benevolence." ”

Fang Juren's face turned red, and he pointed to the Hu family housekeeper and said, "Unrighteous people, you get out." A few soldiers from behind stepped forward and made threatening appearances.

The Hu housekeeper drank and sneered: "It's easy to say, my Hu family is not afraid of your Fang family, who is afraid of who is afraid of face tearing, how can our Hu family give the family property to a foreign woman who has no heirs, Master Fang, you still put away the mind of swallowing my Hu family's property." ”

The soldiers behind had already come forward to catch up, Steward Hu sang a big song, sneered and retreated, Wu Chuanyu saw that Steward Hu with a group of people, straight out of the gate, the carriage was parked at the door, and the group walked away proudly.

Fang Xianfa saw that the person was gone, and whispered to Wu Chuanyu: "Poor eldest lady, when the eldest lady married, the only son of the Hu family was not good, and he died of illness in less than a year. ”
