060 [Southern Forces]

After Wu Yan and Cao Shuyu separated, she returned to her home in Jinyin Hutong, she did not rest there, but instructed Uncle Zhang to find Shu Daizong, and then asked Ai Youwei to call Aunt Xi home.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly went out, and Mama couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Wu Yan looked at her and thought for a while, and said, "Mama, I need you to go back to Liuhe to do something for me, and then return to Beijing when it's done." ”

When Mama heard this, her expression became serious: "What's the matter with the girl?" She guessed that the girl must have something very important.

Wu Yan told her the matter carefully...... After speaking, she looked at Mama and wanted to see how she reacted?

In fact, fortunately, Mama's reaction was not as fierce as she imagined, but it was not very calm: "Girl, this is ...... Could it be too much? He, I said that Cao Gongzi won't repay the debt, right? Her chest looked heaving, and she thought her heart was beating a lot.

"Will Gongzi Cao repay the debt? Since he has an account, even if he wants to, he won't let him rely on me. ”

"But...... What does he want to do when he suddenly needs so much money? ”

"Don't ask about this yet, I won't necessarily understand what I've told you. In short, you go back to deal with this matter for me this time, and ask my cousin if you don't know it, and you must complete the formalities before you give the loan. ”

"Okay, I made a note of it! And the Shu family also went back with them? And what will they do when they go back? ”

Wu Yan shook his head, he didn't want to explain at this moment, he just said something and waited for everyone to arrive.

"Mama, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat? You can give me some food. ”

Mama found out that no one came to serve the girl when she came back, so she hurriedly went to Zhang Luo to serve tea and water, and served the meal.

After a toss, Wu Yan only used some snacks, and then Shu Daizong and his family came.

Wu Yan first explained the matter in general, and then said to Shu Daizong alone: "Uncle, you have a difficult task to go back this time, and you must always pay attention to the movements over there in Liuhe, whether it is the yamen or the people." Newspaper reporters should always go to the street to interview, inquire about it, and in short, don't let go of any news that seems valuable. ”

"Girl, what will happen to Liuhe?" Out of professional sensitivity, he asked more.

"I don't know exactly what to expect, but it could be ......" She really couldn't explain it too clearly.

"Also, didn't you say before that you wanted to buy land as a clan land? At this time, you can also go back and have a look, and buy it if you have a suitable one. ”

When Shu Daizong heard this, he instantly felt like a chicken blood, and said excitedly: "Uncle has been thinking about buying land for a long time, and he is still looking for the girl to ask again, this is good, and he finally got his wish!" ”

"Just these two things, you two will work hard today, hand over the work first and then leave, and after going over there, get things done and then come back ......"

After Wu Yan explained the matter, she asked the two of them to be busy, and she was also tired from a day's work, thinking that she would have to get up early tomorrow, so she also rested early.

Lying on the bed but tossing and turning and unable to sleep, the memories in my mind are always like a marquee, one by one, flashing and passing away quickly...... In fact, she found that her memories of her previous life were getting shallower and more blurred very early.

"How long will it be before I forget all my last life?" Wu Yan curled up under the blanket and muttered secretly.

She simply kept her eyes open, she knew that there were bed tents all around, but she also tried to see clearly. It's like in a dark movie theater, when the lights are dimmed, it's also the moment when the movie is about to begin.

And the only thing she remembers clearly is the moment when she had a car accident on that rainy night, and that moment has long been fixed in her mind.

The image was still flashing in her mind, and gradually, she closed her eyes...... Until the third watch, the lights are lit, and the chickens are watched.

Before dawn, Wu Yan came to his senses again......

She was amazed to find that she had fallen asleep, and she thought she would stare like that all night.

Since he woke up and no longer stayed in bed, a maid outside the house had already heard the movement, so she pushed the door in, brought a washing utensil, set it up, and prepared to serve the girl to wash.

Soon, Wu Yan packed himself up, went out of the room to the hall for dinner, and went out after breakfast, Uncle Zhang was already waiting outside the door.

After she jumped into the car, Zhang Boyang flicked his whip, and the carriage moved slowly......

At this time, the Qianqing Gate, the early dynasty is still continuing,

Today's morning court is mainly a recital, and it is no different from usual, but just after the official of Honglu Temple shouted 'recital' just now, some ministers stood up from the prelude, as if they had already prepared. Everyone saw that it was Su Xirui, the governor of Zhejiang, and saw him unhurriedly take out the recital, and then read it according to the script.

It was to the effect that the heavily taxed southern governments and the local gentry jointly opposed the gold and silver proposal, opposed the increase in the exchange rate of gold and silver, and listed eight reasons.

When he had finished reading, he fell back into place, as silent as he had just done before, as if he had only come out to detonate a bomb.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire early dynasty became a little frozen, and everyone seemed to be shocked by the content of the recital he recited. This has never happened, and when the imperial court's decree reached the locality, it was clearly refused to be implemented by the grassroots level, and even jointly opposed it.

It is a well-known fact that the imperial power is not in place, but at least it is perfunctory or perfunctory, and now it is directly refused? Bold enough, think that the number of people should not be a minority, and the idea is not to blame the public? I just don't know if there is a backhand?

Ma Shizhang, who originally proposed this case, squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes coldly swept over Su Xirui, the governor of Zhejiang, who was standing in the imperial history prelude. Although he didn't speak out loud at this time, his mind was quickly thinking about various possibilities, and even dealing with them.

It seems that a long time has passed, and the first to come out is the first assistant Li Ju.

"Your Majesty, can the old minister ask the governor of Zhejiang a few questions first?"

Emperor Yongming nodded, counting as agreeing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Ju thanked him, then turned to Su Xirui, and continued to ask, "Master Su......"

Su Xirui hurriedly stood up again from the preface and waved his hand: "Please ask the boss to ask questions, and the lower officials know everything." ”

"The old man has some questions for you, first of all, please tell me, what is the identity of these people who object? Is it a landlord, a tenant farmer, or a yeoman farmer? How many acres of land do you have? Or do they own or tenant the official land? Private land? Or is it illegally occupied official land? ”

"Uh...... I didn't ask specifically about this, but, with all due respect, what does it have to do with Jinhuayin? ”

Li Ju smiled: "Why doesn't it matter?" During the orthodox period, it was 'seven buckets to four buckets of golden flowers, and two buckets and one bucket of white grain', which means that the golden flowers in the south of the Yangtze River were specially set up for such heavy renting of official fields. At that time, the Golden Flower Sect and the official land were accepted in order to reduce the burden of tenants of the official land, and at the same time to ensure the ownership of the official land by the imperial court. ”

Su Xirui felt ridiculous, he didn't expect that this old man would move out of the rules of two hundred years ago: "But my lord, you also said that this is a matter of the orthodox years, and now it has been two hundred years." ”

"Eh~, don't worry, Master Su, and then listen to the old man's explanation: After the orthodoxy, this situation has changed, at that time, the local officials in Jiangnan secretly sent the golden flower that originally belonged to the official field to the rich room, that is, 'the lawsuit serves the golden flower with affection, and the rich buy the golden flower for profit'. Or openly change the principle of the Jinhua faction, from the official field to the Mintian, the old man is right? ”

Su Xirui was annoyed in his heart, his face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't answer Li Ju's question, but instead looked at the floor tiles, his demeanor was like being wronged after being dutiful to his duties.

Li Ju ignored him and continued: "If the old man is not mistaken, since the fourth year of Zhengde, there has been no distinction between officials and people, and there is one stone per square meter, and there is zero in two buckets and five liters of silver rice. Especially in the Jiajing year, the difference between the original and different degrees of land in all parts of the Jiangnan has been 'flattened'. In fact, not long ago, Master Ma Shizhang's question book made the key point very clear: the taxes borne by Jiangnan are not heavier than those borne by the northern provinces, and this is the key! ”

The more Su Xirui listened, the more ugly his face became, and he couldn't argue with it when he was in the court, so he couldn't stop scolding someone in his heart.

That's why the old man asked Master Su, which part of the field is it, and which gentry are saying that they oppose increasing the rate? In the case of official land, in fact, it has been stated in the previous decree that the local yamen needs to report to the political secretary after the land is cleared, and then the political secretary will determine whether to restore the original land amount, which is also to distinguish between official land and private land, and not to improve all of them. How did it become the decision of the gentry of Jiangnan to unite against the imperial court? ”

After Su Xirui waited for him to finish speaking, he simply said directly to Emperor Yongming: "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say. ”

After speaking, he returned to the original class and continued to stand.

In fact, this early dynasty was unhappy, and Emperor Yongming did not give any instructions on this, but only allowed it to be discussed later.

Just when the whole court was clamoring and shouting, the newspaper office in Jiage Hutong in Nancheng ushered in an uninvited guest.

On this day, Shu Daizong was extremely busy, because it was not a short time to leave, I am afraid that it will be winter when I come back, so I must first hand over the work of the newspaper, and then arrange the work content in the next few months.

Aunt Xi also has to hand over and arrange the work of Haidilao, and then the two have to pack their luggage, arrange the carriage, prepare money and food, and tell their children and so on. Everything was arranged in one day, and in the evening, the two did not go home, so they rested directly in the back room of the newspaper office.

Thinking that they would leave early tomorrow morning, the two of them blew out the lamp and rested soon after dinner.

In the middle of the night, Shu Daizong was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, he opened his eyes in a daze, and roared: "Who? ”

Then he listened carefully for a while, and it turned out that the newspaper clerk was knocking on the door.

At this time, Aunt Xi had also woken up, perhaps because she was a little dissatisfied with being woken up, she muttered inarticulately, and Shu Daizong comforted her: "You continue to sleep, I'll go out and have a look......"

Aunt Xi, who was not awake yet, only said vaguely, 'Be careful', and fell back asleep.

Shu Daizong got up and got dressed, and was about to go out to have a look, he thought about it, and rubbed it for a while while while he touched the side of the case, and found a small paper cutter in his sleeve pocket, and then opened the door and went out.
