Chapter 40: Banquet Yao Pond (1)

"What can I do?" Yang Shao sniffed his nose as he spoke, and the tempting fragrance made him look at the table, "Huh? You've cooked it yourself! ”

The long-lost hometown delicacy was enough to surprise Yang Shao, and he quickly sat down at the table: "Mrs. still understands me." ”

Gu Yufu pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, and scooped a bowl of fish soup for him: "The camp is not as good as the house, and there are a few flavors that are not ready for a while, and they are not as delicious as before." ”

"It doesn't matter what you eat, I've eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas over the years." Yang Shao couldn't wait to taste it, "But I think it's a shortcoming, I think about it, it's because it's boring to eat alone, and it's for nothing to eat." ”

"Brother Shao......" Gu Yufu's tears were forced in her eyes, "If you like me to do it for you every day, the burden on your shoulders is so heavy, I only hate myself, I can't help you like Zhang Shangshu Zhao." ”

"Silly girl." Yang Shao was stunned for a moment, reached out and gently touched her side face, "As long as you are safe and quiet and stay by my side, you can be more effective than any of them." ”

"Cui Heng's matter, I know." Gu Yufu looked at the clear starry eyes and made up her mind.

He was afraid that she would be worried and didn't say anything, but she couldn't and shouldn't hide from him about the meeting between the two.

The hand touching the side of his face froze, and Yang Shao retracted his fingertips in embarrassment: "King Ming is a messenger... I asked a little, but it was no big deal, and I didn't know much about him. ”

"I'm not worried about him!" His unobtrusive reaction almost made Gu Yufu laugh angrily, "I was going to tell you as soon as we met, but as soon as you came back, you would ...... I'm afraid you'll be angry, so I'll have to look for another chance. Some time ago, I was fighting bandits in Dalong Mountain, and I happened to meet him. ”

He ...... Didn't be rude to you, did you? Yang Shao thought that he could restrain himself, but as soon as the words came out, he still couldn't help but feel a strong sour feeling from the bottom of his heart, "If he dares to touch you, I will send troops overnight, and I will also step on Shangyu." ”

"No, Yuru and Jiang Youhe are there." Yu Fuergen turned red, "But Cui Hengfei said that I wrote a letter to call him, but I have read the letter, naturally it is not me, and it is definitely not my father." Others will not go to such great lengths, then there is only one possibility, this letter is clearly against me and me, but it is actually for calculating you. ”

"The letter was sent to him by someone else, and he was specially asked to come to Xuzhou?" Yang Shao suddenly understood the source of this false letter, "I also said that Cui Heng didn't know it himself." ”

"He's still in Xuzhou, didn't leave?" Yu Fu was taken aback, "You just met him?" ”

"Yes, he came with Feng Jing and was taken back to his life." Yang Shao reluctantly said, "He sued me...... robbed his fiancΓ©e. ”

As expected, Gu Yufu's eyes dimmed: "I'm sorry." ”

"Let him sue, I'm not afraid to go if the sky is broken!" Yang Shao said, his fists clenched, "He's embarrassed, he really dares to think that he... What does it have to do with you! ”

"The matter of the marriage contract is just a reason to sue you." Yu Fu held Yang Shao's hand, "Brother Shao, judging from the situation, that letter is very likely to have been written by someone from Liang Gu. ”

Yang Shao opened his hand and shook his beloved ten fingers tightly: "That's right, but fortunately, there is this fake letter, and the handwriting is different." Since then, the world is so big, you don't have a fiancΓ© anymore. ”

"Brother Shao, there is another person's matter, I will also tell you together." Gu Yufu snuggled into his arms and whispered softly, "But it's been resolved, it's just a misunderstanding, after that, I hope you don't hold a grudge against him because of it." ”

"If you're talking about Ding Li, I really don't want to hear it." Yang Shao sighed, "I'm afraid that after listening to it, I can't help but want to slaughter this rabbit cub." ”

Gu Yufu was stunned, dumbfounded for a while.

"I learned about it accidentally, and I know that you will never know, but ......" Yang Shao hugged the person in his arms tighter, and his tone was sour, "Don't dislike me, in this matter, Brother Shao's heart is never big anyway." ”

"He mistakenly thought that I was not married, let alone you, and then he saved my life, and I recognized him as my brother." Yu Fu finished speaking in one breath, raised his head and rubbed Yang Shao's chin with the tip of his nose, "Not again, with your notoriety, no one dares to provoke me again." ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Shao was not without resentment, and pinched Yu Fu's face, "You girl, don't say anything about hooking your brother's soul, why do you have to be like this, everyone loves ......"

"What do we do next? Go back to Huainan or stay in Xuzhou? Gu Yufu stopped flirting with him, and sat up straight and asked.

"If you don't go back first, Feng Jing knew about your affairs so early, there must be a source, find out the people first." Yang Shao grabbed her and buckled her back between her arms, "And what Fu Huairen reported in the morning, Xuzhou is full of gate valves, and the implementation of tax reform is difficult, I plan to gnaw this hard bone on the spot, so as to set a benchmark for various states and counties." ”

"Okay, then I'll accompany you." Yu Fu rubbed in his arms like a cat and said gently, "From now on, I will accompany you in whatever you do." ”

The sour vinegar during the day was still paid for at night, and when the dripping thing was over, Gu Yufu soaked her skin with fragrant sweat and lay lazily on the bed.

Yang Shao got up and lit the lamp, and a little candle flame flickered, instantly illuminating his sturdy body.

"What are you doing with the lights?" Yufu hit Hache, and was tossed by him again just now, so he had to beg for mercy before he let go of Shengtian, "I'm tired, I want to sleep ......"

"You sleep, tomorrow I will find Fu Huairen to ask about the tax reform again, and I have to read the list of Xuzhou gate valves again." Yang Shao casually put on a piece of clothing.

"What exactly is tax reform?" Yu Fu heard him talk about business, and suddenly came to his senses, "Can you talk to me too." ”

"Things in the court are dark and dirty, you are a girl, why are you worried about this?" Yang Shao felt sorry for her, and stepped forward to pull the quilt for her, "Good, sleep well, if you are really not tired, my brother wants to come again." ”

"Phew!" As soon as Yu Fu sat up, the brocade quilt fell down again, revealing a red plum all the way on the snow-clear skin, "I'm not afraid of being difficult, I just want to help you sometimes and be your good helper." ”

"That's good, speak! Can't live up to the kindness of the heart. Yang Shaole was happy, but his hand was not honest and wanted to touch it again, and was slapped by Gu Yufu.

She got dressed and sat upright: "You say it seriously, I listen carefully!" ”

"Taxation is the foundation of the country, raising troops for disaster relief, there is no need for money and food, if you want to seek long-term peace and stability, you must first pass the fiscal and taxation." Yang Shao finally sat on the edge of the bed and said with a glance, "Two years ago, seeing that the north was about to be pacified, Zhang Yizhou and I tried our best to overcome public opinion and set up a tax reform law. ”

Yu Fu nodded: "I probably understand this, when you were still a tax collector in Hanyang in the past, didn't you tell me that there were too many harsh taxes, and the people were not able to make a living." ”

"Exactly! Zhao Mu was extremely poor and extravagant, and the treasury had long been empty, in addition to the usual taxes of various names, every time the border was used, miscellaneous taxes had to be levied. Yang Shao said, "But if you want to really do it, the country and the people are safe, and you only pay a light deal to ordinary people, so you have to knock down a difficult hurdle first." ”

"What's the hardest pass?" Yu Fu asked eagerly.

"It's the old habit of the gentry who don't pay for food!" Yang Shao's eyes were heavy and he sighed lightly.

"The gentry were limited in number relative to ordinary people." Yu Fu seemed to understand, "Even if they have some tax incentives, why is this so big?" ”

"The state always has to spend, and although the number of this group of people is small, there are many acres of land." Yang Shao said, not forgetting to help his wife tuck the quilt, "My important policy for tax reform is to change the poll tax system of the former Yong Dynasty to a land tax based on land, so that the poor pay less and the large households pay more, so as to improve the tax structure and let the gentry bear more tax responsibilities." ”

"This article is beneficial to all sentient beings, but it also greatly touches the interests of the gate valve!" Yufu had an epiphany, and was already worried, "But the people's taxes are less, and if they delay any longer, you will have no money to control the river, no money to relieve disasters, and after a long time, the world that has just been calmed down will still be chaotic......

"It's not just delays, these big families, relying on their deep roots in the local area, will even conceal their tax resistance!" Yang Shao gritted his teeth.

Yu Fu stretched out his slender hand and stroked his brow: "You are the regent of the palace, and the mountains and rivers are going to be defeated for thousands of miles, can't you scare them?" ”

"I can kill one person and one family as a warning, but I can't kill all the gentry in the world because of the tax reform." Yang Shao stroked his palms and sighed, "And within the Ming Dynasty, there are also gate valves who own a lot of land. They don't want to get in the way of it and protect their own selfish interests. ”

"What you said is Liang Gu and Feng Jing." Yufu Dao.

"Exactly! To them, I am already a great abomination in military power, and now it is like cutting their flesh with a knife to touch their vital interests. Yang Shao smiled abruptly and took Yu Fu's hand in his palm, "No, I usually cut them, but they easily found my weakness, and immediately came to the door to cut my heart." ”

"I don't want to be your weakness." Gu Yufu said softly, "Even if I can't make your armor, one day, I will fight side by side with you." ”

"If you have made up your mind not to abandon me, you will be my armor." Yang Shao grabbed Yu Fu's waist and bullied up.

"Let's get down to business." Yu Fuxu held Yang Shao's chest, "You are looking for Fu Huairen tomorrow, do you want him to urge taxes?" ”

"The first thing that the local Taishou did when he took office was to urge the tax collection department to make the new policy known to the people and show it outside the gate of the official office." Yang Shao said, "Xuzhou is a big county, and it is the first stop of the tax reform in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so I want to take this opportunity to set a benchmark first." ”

Yu Fuluo groaned: "I'm afraid that this trip will not go well, Fu Huairen I have seen, he is very diligent, but this is not something that can be solved by diligence alone." ”

"You're right, these big gatekeepers, relying on their own birth and growth in Sri Lanka, have an intertwined relationship, and have formed an alliance to resist taxes, with both prosperity and loss." Yang Shao said hatefully, "Not to mention, some of them have already had a relationship with the DPRK, even in front of Shen Yanzong, there are people who intercede for them." ”

"I'll go with you tomorrow, even if you should take me into the house and see the world." Yu Fu said.

"Yes!" Yang Shao kissed her forehead, "Then you sleep first, I'll look at the list." ”

"No, I'm not sleeping either! I'll watch it with you. Yu Fu held his handsome face and said in a firm tone, "I said that I would help you figure out a way together." My memory is no worse than yours. ”
