"This!" A jingling sound sounded, and Yan Liu fainted on the ground.

Yan Wu shouted with red circles in his eyes and hugged his wife, and pinched Yan Liu's people hard.

"Why is this, why are you still happy to be like this?" Yan's mother rushed over tremblingly.

The old Yan family is an old man, and Yan Wu's father only had Yan Wu when he was fifty.

Although his mother is younger, she is almost seventy now, and she is a farmer, so she has been suffering from the days, and her body has long been hollowed out.

"Mother! How did you get here! It's okay, it's okay, it's all happy, you go back and rest! Yan Wu saw his old lady coming, and hurriedly persuaded the old man to go back.

"You kid, how can I go back and rest at this time. You wait, I'll call Lang Zhong over.

Sanniang must be happy for a while, the blood surged to the top of her head, and the needle will be good immediately! Yan Mu said and turned around and began to walk out the door.

"Mother! No need, daughter-in-law is awake, just go back to the house and rest! Yan Liu slowly opened his eyes, and tears kept rolling in them.

"Hey! Just wake up! Just wake up! It's about to be a good day, and you can't do anything because you're happy!

You little two work hard, and give birth to a few more big fat boys! When Yan's mother heard that her daughter-in-law had woken up, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she forced the husband and wife to go back to the house.

"Lady! It's that I'm not a human being, blame me for not having the ability, and my family can't afford to take the imperial examination, blame me!

I just beg you not to hold a grudge against my parents, I didn't do what they asked! Yan Wu cried.

Yan Liu sighed heavily, "When you came back from Lord Xu's house a few days ago, I saw that something was wrong with you, it turned out that I had already made this plan!" ”

"No, no! I, I've been studying hard for so many years, I don't want my life's hard work to be in vain, lady, please fulfill me!

In the future, although you have nominally become my concubine, in this family, as long as I am for a day, you will be my wife!

When I pass the exam, I will give you a legitimate reputation no matter what! We will no longer be coerced by anyone! Yan Wu swore a promise.

Yan Liu looked at his father-in-law indifferently, he thought that he was the support of his life.

But only now did she realize that it was just wishful thinking, after all, the door was not right now.

"You will make me a concubine today for the sake of being a candidate, and you will make compromises in the future for the sake of being a jinshi.

One day you will become the son-in-law of the big official, so what can I do with this?

That's it, today you write down a paper and leave the book, our husband and wife fate is over, don't say goodbye! Yan Liu said firmly.

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, the tears on his face rolled down silently, he looked at his wife, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Lady! I, I'm not going to be strict! I will definitely fight with you according to my father's instructions

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Keep it for a lifetime!

Although there are some episodes in between, no matter what, you are my wife! This will never change! Yan Wu said incoherently.

"Don't say it anymore, the matter has come to this, our fate is over, you take your Yangguan Avenue, I take my intestinal path, we don't interfere with each other.

Although I, Liu Yuehong, am not from a big family, I also know shame, no matter what you say, I can't promise you what to be a concubine.

Even if I am lonely all my life, I must be able to walk with my head held high!

If you want to marry Miss Xu as soon as possible, write me a letter of reconciliation as soon as possible and let me go.

In this way, you can climb up with peace of mind, and when you become a big official, I will be happy for you! Yan Liu was unusually resolute.

"Lady!" Yan Wu called softly.

"Please ask Yan Xianggong to write a book for me as soon as possible, and I will go back to my parents' house first."

Yan Liu's went out and happened to meet a convenient mother-in-law, the old man looked at his daughter-in-law and didn't speak, and silently watched Yan Liu go out.

"Son, my mother has something to say to you......"

On Wang Wen's mansion, a group of jinshi rested at sunset.

In the past few months, the old men have not only experienced a lot of vicissitudes, but also darkened a lot, and their bodies are stronger than when they first came, but they have also witnessed the end of the summer grain, and are now experiencing a bumper harvest of autumn grain.

"Everyone has worked hard today, and they all come to the courtyard after dinner in the evening.

The clean-up was completed immediately, and the emperor came with a new decree that he would requisition some people to Fujian.

Think about it in your hearts first, and you can bring it up when you want to go. Wang Wen looked at the group of people who were cooking and said.

After he left, the canteen was fried.

"Why are you going to Fujian again? I remember that there is no prince in Fujian! ”

"What are you talking nonsense, what do you mean that there is no prince, we are checking the acres of land, and then talking nonsense to be careful of your head!"

"Hahaha, I want to go back to Hu Jian! I'm going back to my hometown! When the time comes, let them see the majesty of the master! A little fat man laughed presumptuously.

"It's almost winter, so let's go south and hide in the old bones like us."

……

The crowd was noisy, each with its own views and ideas.

Originally, Li Qi didn't stay with Sun Ji and them to eat together, but today it may be that his partner didn't know where to go, so he squeezed together with a few people.

"Fujian! I haven't seen the sea yet! Li Qi sighed with emotion.

"Why hasn't Master Li ever seen the sea? Then you have to go over and have a look this time, maybe you won't have a chance to become a big official in the future. Liu Yu took a bite of food and said.

"You are prickly when you speak! I see that you have been working in the fields these days, and not only your face is black, but your heart is also tanned! Li Qi pouted.

"Okay, okay

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Let's hurry up and eat, and when Lord Wang finishes speaking, we will hand in the fields verified today, and it is estimated that we will have to stay up more in the evening! Sun Ji sighed.

"There's a review later, so don't be too nervous, how about you?

There is no way to see the fields in the east of the city, and most of them are the land of the gentry hanging under the name of the prince. Geng Ying said on the rice.

"Well, no, I'm the same in the south.

The people not only have to pay taxes, but also have to pay another rent, and they originally had a solid family background, but because of the bad years twice, they can only be tenants for others.

The key is that this tax is not handed over to the imperial court, no wonder the tax of the Ming Dynasty is getting less and less! Sun Ji sighed.

Li Qi glanced at Sun Ji with disgust and said, "Xiuzhu, you only know one and don't know the other!"

This reduction in tax revenue is of course related to agricultural taxes, but it is also inseparable from salt taxes and commercial taxes.

The 10 million taels of salt tax at the time of the founding of the country are now 3 to 5 million.

Take salt as an example, in the third year of Taizu, Huaiyan led one stone and eight buckets, and in the tenth year of Xuande, it became five buckets per lead, which is less than seventy percent, but is it not that the tax revenue of the imperial court has become less?

There is also the shop tax in the city, which has been reduced from 500 per year to 40 per year now, and there is room for negotiation.

On the other hand, the agricultural tax, although some gentry took a part of the tax, but the overall tax was still about the same.

Besides, we are the gentry, and we also have tax-free land at home, if it is more serious, then what should we do? Will you really live on that bit in the future? It's all for a reason! ”

It's also the first time that everyone has heard Li Qi talk about taxation, so when they hear it, this eldest young master is also a master with a spectrum, but I don't know what kind of demon Hang'er Lang is usually doing.

"Yunxia, it's rare for you to be so serious! But I really don't know about these news, it's really a big business, and you can't hide it! Sun Ji looked at himself in surprise.

"That's not, I'm not a vain test, if you want to be smart, there aren't many people on our street who are better than me." Li Qi said proudly.

"Then do you know why the price of salt is getting lower and lower?" Xie Gu, who was holding an empty bowl, happened to walk by, and when he heard a few people talking about salt introduction, he interjected.

Geng Ying seemed to be familiar with this person, and when he saw this, he got up and greeted: "Brother Wangya! A few of us are here to talk casually, you are the son of Yanzheng, of course you know the inside story better than us, and you are ugly! ”

"I also heard this young brother's high talk, you young brothers are disturbed!" Xie Gu saw that Li Qi had no intention of speaking, and he was not annoying, so he said goodbye and left.

"Phew, isn't it just that my father is a salt officer, what's the big deal, maybe your father will be arrested when he will!" Li Qi watched Xie Gu walk away, and said disdainfully.

"Hey, Brother Yunxia, there's no need to say it! It's the same year, and he didn't say anything, so why curse people like this! Sun Ji persuaded.

"Yes, I'm a bad person!" Li Qi threw away the dishes and chopsticks and left dissatisfied.
