"It's just a word for you, that's all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pei Rangzhi shook his head and looked calm.

This is true, and it is precisely because he has no obvious inclination that he can master the General Administration.

"But the old man selfishly thinks that His Majesty's government makes me and the rest of the world panic. ”

"Oh?"

Ying Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, and then made a listening gesture: "This king is willing to hear the details!"

His posture was slightly higher, but Pei Rangzhi didn't care. Just because I know this one, I have this qualification.

"In all fairness, it is indeed good governance to take stock of the acres. Once completed, it can make the world's fields nearly multiply. For our clans, there is not much loss. But what we are worried about is Your Majesty's reuse of Wang Anshi and other Shu scholars, as well as the next governance. ”

When Ying Chong heard this, he couldn't help laughing. The Pei family in Hanyang may not really care about private land, but others are not.

However, what Pei Rangzhi said is exactly what many people are worried about.

"Once His Majesty has completed this policy, will there be any other measures in the future? Such as cleaning up the hidden households and overwhelming the people of the world? For example, reforming the tax system and changing the method of collecting wealth and hurting the people? For example, apportioning the Ding into the mu and folding the Nading tax into the fields? For example, abolishing the Jiupin officials, so that the people of the poor family can really be in the same court with our clans? Even disbanding the private troops of various ethnic groups and collecting military power from the court?"

Ying Chong laughed, Pei Rangzhi said this. It is exactly what Wang Anshi advocated in Taixue back then.

This concern is indeed not unfounded, when the acres of land are cleared and the hidden households are cleaned up, the Heavenly Saint Emperor really intends to clarify the tax system and start with taxes. And the current situation has indeed reached the point where it has to change.

The tax system of Daqin was mixed, and the imperial court earned more than 200 million gold, but the rest had nearly sixty percent, which fell into the pockets of local officials. Just a fire costs money, and the local bureaucrats are full of oil. As a result, the imperial court could not collect taxes, but the local government was exploited to the point that the people could not make a living.

And spreading into acres is what the Heavenly Saint Emperor wants to do the most. The per capita tax is a local tax in Daqin, with an annual income of 40 million gold, all of which are used by the local government. In other words, the 200 million people of Great Qin need to bear a heavy tax of nearly two taels of silver every year.

But in fact, not only that, some places often raise taxes privately, push up tax rates, and have various kinds of apportionments, etc. The burden of a man is as high as five taels or even seven taels of silver.

It is necessary to know that a medium-sized family cultivates ten acres of land. The income of a year is only eighty or ninety taels of silver. But there are many more people who have lost their land, and it is difficult to make a living every year.

It was this tax that prompted the birth of a large number of hidden households, and many people were willing to become slaves in order to avoid the tax and take refuge under the door of the wealthy family.

And apportioning the ding into the mu and folding the ding tax into the field can reduce the burden of the people of Daqin.

He avoided talking about this at first, and only smiled lightly: "But now that the whole court is up and down, what I am really afraid of is that Your Majesty wants to rectify the rule of officials, right?"

This is what the Heavenly Saint Emperor really wants to implement with all his might after the private land and the hidden household. We can't eradicate the atmosphere of the court, and any reform is empty talk, which will only torment the people.

Pei Rangzhi was dumbfounded, and then said with a wry smile: "The old man doesn't object to this matter, it seems to be like a hundred miles of long rest, it is indeed too unreasonable." But after this official rule is purged, will Your Majesty stop here? Your Highness, don't forget, your An Guoying clan is also one of the world lords, and the August Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites have rebuilt the family tree, and you An Guoying has been scheduled to be listed as the fourth. ”

Ying Chong was slightly surprised, he had never heard of this. He thought it would be sixth or seventh.

After all, compared with the family background, although the ancestors of the Wuyang Ying family are also the second grade of the generations, they are still far from being able to compare with the families of the Three Kings and the Nine Princes.

But maybe they included the ancestors of the Ying royal family.

"--Your Highness, as the Sect Master of Jiwan, and countless Ying clan sects in the four states of the Northland, are looking forward to you. Could it be that His Highness just watched and let His Majesty dig up the foundation of our world?"

"Roots?"

Ying Chong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then Pei Dana thinks that what is the foundation of our scholars? The so-called foundation is really these acres of land and grain?"

Pei Rang was stunned, a little puzzled, but Ying Chong didn't let him wait too long: "This king thinks that the foundation of the family is not these floating wealth, but glory, inheritance, family style, and wisdom. Dare to ask the great man, even if it is spread into the mu, even if the imperial examination system is implemented, in this world, is there no soil for the existence of the great lords of the family and the nobles?"

Pei Rangzhi was stunned for a while, he never thought that the king of Wu'an County in front of him would ask such a question.

However, according to His Highness's thoughts, even if the Heavenly Saint Emperor has done all of this. The world valve that should exist still has to exist.

He is confident that even if it is a system of imperial examinations, with the family style of the Pei family in Hanyang, it can still last for more than a thousand years, or even better than in the past.

Unless the future generations encounter the changes of the Dingge, or the family is full of incompetent people.

But if these two situations really occur, then no matter whether the Heavenly Saint Emperor reforms or not, the Pei clan will also be destroyed.

"The current rebellion in the north is a lesson from the past, and the collapse of more than 200 families of Ji Wanning Yuan is not enough to warn them? The resentment of the common people is as fierce as a tiger, and those capable and strong people who were born in the Shu clan have no place to get ahead, so they can only turn to the cult and sink into recklessness. Your Majesty's reform is nothing more than taking some insignificant things from us to appease the resentment of the world. Do you really have to make trouble to the point where it is out of control before you regret it?"

"And which of our lords really lives on the grain in the fields? To tell the truth, there are now nearly 200,000 hectares of land in the royal mansion of Wu'an County, but the income of the rest of the merchants is more than six times the rent of the tenants. My family is like this, and so must the Pei family. Looking at the commercial tax of Great Qin, since the rise of the Mo family, the trade between the seven countries has been better than one day. Nine hundred years ago, Qin's commercial tax was only about 30 million gold. But in the twenty-seventh year of the Heavenly Sage, it was 150 million gold. ”

Pei Rangzhi fell into a long exam, and after a long time, he showed a wry smile: "I see, Your Highness, do you think like this? Sure enough, it is both civil and military! Pei Mou, I was almost persuaded by you." ”

If you have an outstanding literary strategy and see through the essence, how can you have such an opinion?

Ying Chong laughed, since it was 'almost', it was not convinced.

He didn't care much about it, but he just said: "As the sect master of Jiwan, this king will not let the sect party down." An Shigong is beneficial to the government of the country, and this king will help him. But if he has a troubled move to disrupt the dynasty, this king will not let it go. ”

For example, the collection of private soldiers, Ying Chong did not approve of Wang Anshi's politics. It is not a good thing to think that the imperial power is too inflated.

Even if the government of the tribes is to be abolished, it is necessary to check and balance the imperial power in other ways.

When Pei Rangzhi heard this, the last hesitation in his eyes. finally disappeared: "The old man has already understood His Highness's intentions! It's just that His Highness wants to achieve what he wants, but I'm afraid it will not be easy." If the old man is Pei Xiang, he only needs to make a 'drag' decision, and he can decide everything. ”

Ying Chong also felt a headache, recently he discussed politics with Xie An, Guo Jia, Wei Zheng and others, and the most talked about was the word 'drag'.

The Heavenly Saint Emperor was seriously injured, and Pei Hongzhi only needed to drag it until His Majesty's longevity was about to end, and the new law would be scrapped.

"This king and His Majesty can only do their best! Otherwise, I am afraid that my Great Qin Kingdom will not last forever. ”

Pei Rangzhi was noncommittal: "But Your Highness also needs to do what you can, otherwise in the future, if the change is not successful, Your Highness will become the target of the public!"

※※※※

After the convoy crossed three streets, Ying Chong said goodbye to Pei Rangzhi. When Ye Lingxue returned to her carriage, she asked Ying Chong curiously: "What did he say to you?"

"It's nothing more than confirming friends and foes, and the party is the same and fighting against differences. ”

Ying Chong didn't want to say more, but his eyes were quite relaxed. Although he did not convince Pei Dana to help this time, he also ensured neutrality and helped in some special circumstances.

In the end, it would be best not to meet each other, after all, he has a lot of opponents now.

Ye Lingxue smiled and didn't say anything more. only snuggled the head on Ying Chong's shoulder: "Just now, the eldest sister told me that she is having a hard time now, she married Pei Dezhao by mistake, and she also saw him wrong-"

When she spoke, she was sincerely happy and joyful. She really didn't dare to imagine that she would become like this if she fell into the situation of being disliked and ignored by her husband like Ye Lingmeng. and for the previous Wuwei Palace, Ying Chong did not hesitate to protect him, and felt happy.

Ying Chong didn't care about this child's relationship, but he still thought about the deal he talked about with Pei Rangzhi before. Besides, it is Pei Hongzhi and his father-in-law.

Especially the latter, Ye Hongbo is by no means a weak person, and he will not swallow his anger this time. Presumably, there will be a reaction in the near future.

And before, although he also had a layout, it was more aimed at the entire Shuanghe Ye clan, as well as the mother and son of Concubine Shu.

But now, it has to be adjusted.

At least that Ye Laojun King is still very reasonable. Then when he started, he couldn't help but leave some affection and look at the Ye family and Ye Hongbo separately.

After that, the convoy of Wu'an Wangfu did not return to the palace, but turned its head and went straight to the direction of Tiangongfang.

――If it weren't for the 'bad news' of his mother-in-law's disappearance, he would have been in the backyard of the Heavenly Workshop now, discussing with Xie Qingquan the refining of that Immortal Yuan Armor.

When Ying Chong arrived, Xie Qingquan had already been waiting here for a long time. However, this one did not take responsibility for Ying Chong's breach of appointment, but showed pity on his face and comforted the two of them with warm words.

It seems that he also knows the news that Second Mrs. Ye fell off the cliff and her life and death is unknown, but he doesn't know the truth.

Ying Chong didn't mean to explain, and went straight to the point.

After asking him about Uncle Quan, he learned that at this time, the transformation of the 'Xuanji' Divine Armor in September had been completed. spent 300,000 gold, and finally replaced the heavy sword with a Xuanhua axe. Xu Chu's tiger god has also been strengthened, and the skeleton can be guaranteed not to collapse and hidden dangers will be eliminated.

And the restoration of Hannibal's earth armor 'kingship' is also coming to an end. The 'Titan Armor' in the Land of Tessie may seem to be different from the ink armor, but it is actually the same essence.

Therefore, in the process of Xie Qingquan's restoration, although it was not smooth sailing, he was not stumped. On the contrary, because of this exotic Immortal Yuan Rank Divine Armor, there was a lot of inspiration.

All in all, it only takes about half a month for him to completely complete this 'royal power' and make Anguo Mansion have another puppet Zhenguo.

Then there is the Qianyuan-level divine armor tailored for Zhang Chengye, but he has encountered some trouble. So much so that in this month, there has not been much progress in the Tiangongfang,
