Chapter 91: The World Is Too Big (Fourth Update)
Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, Wang Wen is going to punish his heart!
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and I can't hide it if I want to, so I can only reply stubbornly: "About it, probably, there should be less than 5,000 hectares......"
No one was surprised by this number, and everyone here knew very well how there were no such lands.
Wang Wen looked around the audience again, and then asked loudly, "Do you know the reason?" Forget it, I guess you 'won't know'.
I will tell you, it is because of you that this land is cultivated less and less, and the taxes of the court are lower and lower.
Do you still have the face to talk about kinship? Isn't your money, the money of your relatives, all sucked blood from the imperial court? ”
"Lord Governor, you can't say that, it is a national policy for the court to support the gentry, and it has been since ancient times, aren't you also a part of it? Have you paid taxes on your property? "Seeing that the soft ones are not good, some people start to be unkind.
Wang Wen has been a tough person since he was a child, "Haha, how can I have my own court to verify it, what does it matter to you?" Why do you want to play with me?
Don't pee on yourself, are you worthy? Remember, it's not that you are qualified to stand in my yard, but that I let you stand here to see me, and what do you dare to bark in front of me? ”
The senator's face turned pale for a while, and he was so arrogant at home that he was so violently scolded that he was really uncomfortable.
The original restlessness was interrupted by Wang Wen's words, and the courtyard fell into a depressed silence again.
"Hello adults!" Geng Ying walked at the front door of Enke Jinshi, and was the first to step into the courtyard, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Seeing that the Enke Jinshi had returned, the lords of the various yamen wanted to leave.
Wang Wen didn't save face for them, and pointed at Geng Ying and the others: "These people are all in the land under the name of King Qing.
You have to remember that if they come to you and let the officials know that you are favoritism and bribery, then I won't rub sand in the eyes of the imperial history of the left capital! ”
Not only did the words make the Ningxia officials feel cold, but even Geng Ying and the others gasped.
Are so many people involved? It's almost, not not almost, it's all the officials involved!
The people in Ningxia officialdom no longer had the face to stay, and they all had anger on their faces and walked away.
"Yunxia, look, hey, we are also helpless, what can I do if the clansmen involve me? Hey, let's go, now I shouldn't bother you. Xu Xing smiled bitterly and said hello to Li Qi and left.
"Hey, Lord Xu! Late ...... "Li Qi stretched out his arm, and in the end he could only hang weakly.
"Yunxia, let's go, what's the daze in the back!" Sun Ji screamed, which made Li Qi reluctantly turn back.
At the end of the busy day, there is no clean place in the body, and any patting of clothes can shake up the dust all over the yard.
After everyone finished washing, they rushed to the dining hall, and after a day of hard work, their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger.

Wang Wen looked at these young people with a smile, and couldn't help but feel the helplessness of the fleeting years and the decay of the heart before they got old.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Wang Wen finally spoke, and then there was only the sound of putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his ears.
"These days, everyone has worked hard to check the property rights of the people on the acres of land.
The emperor came to the decree and said that I should do a good job in logistics.
Not only to let you do good things and do it comfortably, but also to let you have no worries, eat well and sleep well! Wang Wen first ripped Zhu Qizhen's tiger skin, which caused the jinshi to smile.
"But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, everyone is here to do errands, and to say that the sky is broken, this matter is the most important, so I have to say more." Wang Wen gradually turned to the topic, and everyone pricked up their ears.
"As you saw just now, there are so many officials involved in this inventory of fields and acres just in King Qing's family.
The further you go, the more people and forces you will inevitably be involved, and the greater the pressure you will have to face.
Li Qi, did Xu Xing complain to you? "What little action of Fang Cai, how can he hide it from Wang Wen, the feudal official?
Li Qi's face flushed, and he stood up and said hesitantly: "Wansheng, late-born is just speculating with Lord Xu, so I just said a few more words, and nothing else." ”
But as soon as he admitted this, everyone's eyes on him changed again.
Wang Wen didn't show any dissatisfaction, but waited until Li Qi sat down and spoke again: "What Li Qi said is not bad, this is also the reason why the emperor asked you to come to investigate."
You have just entered the officialdom, you are still a blank slate, there are not so many interests involved, and more importantly, you have a pure heart!
The emperor believes that you can do things well and give the emperor, the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world a clear yellow book and fish scale book.
Let those duties that were passed on to the people, which should have been paid and borne by the gentry, be put in their rightful place.
Let the good policy of the imperial court reclaim land be implemented, let the Ming Dynasty be clear, and the people of the world will live a good life! ”
Wang Wen's voice rose higher and higher, and in the end, it rolled like thunder, and everyone present was excited, and some of them even stood up and applauded vigorously.
A cheering meeting was finally lonely, and those who finished eating hurried back to rest, and those who didn't finish eating, such as Li Qi, who had been accustomed to chewing and swallowing slowly since childhood, still stayed in the canteen, but his face was a little ugly.
"Brother Yunxia, since you have a clear conscience, why should you care about the matter of Fang Cai, Lord Wang didn't say anything!" Sun Ji came to Li Qi's side and said.
Li Qi didn't look up, just focused on the grain in front of him, and said vaguely: "Sun Xiuzhu, if you are told such a thing in public, can you still do this?" ”
Sun Ji was stunned, glanced at Li Qi in surprise, didn't speak again, shook his head and left, and finally Li Qi was the only one left in the entire canteen.
"Who are you looking at on high? What life have I had since I was a child? A hundred times stronger than you!

I don't know if it took several lifetimes of high incense to get a fame and show off in front of me! Phew! The dishes and chopsticks were thrown angrily by Li Qi in the cleaning pool, splashing a little droplet.
"What a broken place, there is not even water, I haven't taken a bath for a few days, master!" Li Qi muttered dissatisfiedly.
"By the way, this Wang Wen has his own bath, so does Lord Xu's family also have it? Hum! Don't let us use it yet! Okay, you don't let someone use it! ”
At night, the sky was shining with stars, and on the vast land, a figure quietly left the governor's mansion.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City in Beijing
It was already late at night, and there should be two people on duty in the Wenyuan Pavilion as usual, but unfortunately, today Cao Nai said that he was sick and on leave, and Yu Qian wanted to let others come over, but was stopped by Zhu Qizhen, and the two of them said something considerate in this cabinet.
Zhu Qizhen stood at the door, outside the door was an unobstructed night sky, with a deep black midpoint of silver flashing, which made people feel the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of people.
He originally liked to watch some science fiction, and asked on a whim at this time: "Yu Qian, do you think there are people like us in the stars in this sky?" ”
Yu Qian thought that Zhu Qizhen would say some important things about the court and politics, but he didn't expect to ask such a question from the emperor's mouth, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
After being silent for a long time, he also used the same tone as Zhu Qizhen: "I think there should be!" Coincidentally, how can we be alone? ”
"It's not a coincidence! Good! That's a good point! The universe is so big, what are we?
What is so strange that you should think that you are unique! Just thinking about it like this, I feel that the world is so big, we are just ants, so isn't life too worthless? ”
"Ministers think otherwise, it is because of their own insignificance that they can make great things that transcend time and space, and influence the world with the power of one person, isn't it strong!" Yu Qian said proudly.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian, an ancient, and he suddenly felt that the other party had hundreds of people more history than him, and he could see it more clearly.
That's right, in the pre-Qin period, there were hundreds of schools of thought, four books and five classics, not to mention the doctrine, just to talk about the truth, even in later generations it is still practical, how can the wisdom of the ancients be underestimated?
"Yu Qing's words are thought-provoking, let me be empowered!" Zhu Qizhen changed his words, "My ceremonial supervisors have begun to pay taxes, how can this official gentry be more noble than me?" ”
This time it's Yu Qian's turn to be stunned, isn't this a collision of ideas? How did it suddenly turn to the abolition of gentry privileges?
"The emperor is rich in the world, naturally no one is more noble than you, but since ancient times, it is the country that has supported the gentry to rule the world, and this minister really doesn't know what to say." Yu Qian said.
Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yu Qian, after all, he has a son and a clan, even if Yu Qian is not greedy or possessive, he is not exempt from vulgarity.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Is it right since ancient times? Everyone in the world can eat well and live well, and we will naturally be better! ”
