"My business is not done yet, why did Lord Ye send you?"

Wan Yuzhi sat up and looked at him uneasily.

The envoy arched his hand and said, "Master Wan, it is Ye Gong who has a secret letter to give to you." ”

Wan Yuzhi didn't say a word, and asked him for a letter; When I dismantled and looked at it, I saw these lines written:

'According to the discussion of my generation, it is suspected that the Chen Party has planted eyes and ears in your place, and I have already known in detail the meaning of your inspection of the field system. If they are not careful, they will be able to grasp the handle and encourage the ministers to give advice, which will be very detrimental to the new policy. And press the soldiers first, and wait for Ye to instruct later. ’

Yu Zhijian frowned, immediately pressed the letter on the table, looked at the envoy eagerly, and said, "Why is Lord Ye so confused!" Now is the time of urgency, and it would be even more wrong if it were delayed for a long time! ”

"But the villain came by order to ......"

Wan Yuzhi didn't want to pay attention to his excuse, and interrupted: "You don't have to say it! Either way, I won't carry out this command. You go back and tell Ye Bingbu, just say that I am familiar with the grammar system here, and the new law will be implemented in a few days. ”

With that, he turned around and took a draft from the table, pointed to it, and said, "This is the plan for the New Deal that I drafted, and although there are some flaws, it is enough to clarify what I mean. You bring this with you, and I hope he will change his mind after watching it. ”

The messenger was in a dilemma, but he was begged by Yu Zhi, so he had to agree with his head and return to the capital by the same route, going straight to the military headquarters.

"Tinglong, the old man heard that the people we sent have returned to Beijing." Cai Xianqing handed over his daily official documents to Ye Yongjia in the hall, and whispered softly.

"Oh?" Ye Yongjia hurriedly raised his head and shrugged his eyebrows, "It's only been a few days since you went out, and you came back so early?" ”

He shook his head, absentmindedly scribbling on the paperwork; After the approval, he seemed to remember something, and let out a long sigh: "I think things are going to be bad." Wan Yuzhi has a stubborn temperament, and I am afraid that he will not follow my orders. The early return of the messenger is definitely not good news. ”

While the two were talking, they saw that the messenger had been invited by the clerk's office, and his face was so timid that he did not dare to take a step further.

"It seems that eight or nine are not far from ten!" Cai Xianqing smiled bitterly a few times, "What's wrong, say it quickly!" ”

The envoy opened his mouth, and told him everything about how Wan Yuzhi spoke to him and how he instructed him, and immediately sent the letter.

Ye Yongjia held back the anger in his belly, and he didn't want to read it, but listening to Cai Lao reading it out on the side, it was all about Tian Zheng's facts, so he had to come forward to read it, and he didn't miss a word.

"No wonder Lord Wan refuses to be so rejected, it turns out that there is another hidden ......" Ye Yongjia closed the letter and couldn't help but sigh, "This text is really a word to help the world." It's time for us to reconsider. ”

He continued: "According to what he said, this Zhu Yangrui of Runing has deep roots and is really difficult to deal with. If you let him go for the time being, I am afraid that there will be no way to pursue him in the future; If they pursue it vigorously, they will implicate many people and give Chen Dang a handle for impeachment. I really don't know how to call it a proper ......"

"However, I'm very interested in the 'one field should have two masters' that he mentioned," he looked at Cai Xianqing again, "Cai Lao traveled all over the world in his early years, you should know a lot about these systems, right?" ”

Cai Xianqing smiled: "Of course I know. This field law is only flourishing in Guangdong and Fujian, and the field is divided into two ends: one is the bottom of the field, which is in the hands of the owner, and only has the right to collect rent, and is not allowed to ask about farming and management; One is the field, which is in the hands of the tenants, and only needs to pay rent for the owner, and cannot be taken away at will. These two ends do not interfere with each other and buy and sell separately, so the situation of 'changing the east but not the tenant' also occurs from time to time. ”

"Is this method promoted by the government?" Ye Yongjia asked.

Cai Xianqing shook his head and said: "Where does the government worry about this matter, it's just that the people maintain it on their own according to the local situation, and it is not a law." ”

After Ye Yongjia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed Cai Xianqing's sleeve and said, "Then can we use this law as a system and implement it in all parts of the world?"

Cai Xianqing pondered for a moment and pursed his lips: "It's not appropriate." The bottom of the field and the surface of the field change frequently, it is difficult to distinguish the ownership, and the management is too complicated, I am afraid that the government cannot reach it. ”

Ye Yongjia said: "I actually took this into account, but as an expedient measure, it is still feasible, right?" Otherwise, when the time comes, I am afraid that they will not obey the order. ”

Cai Xianqing laughed: "Oh, you thought of going so far." It seems that you are planning to change course and listen to the advice of Lord Wan? ”

"His opinion ......" Ye Yongjia didn't say anything before he began to hesitate, muttered, simply closed his mouth, fell on the chair and rubbed his eyebrow bones.

"Why don't you ask Cui Yi and the others to discuss together?" Cai Xianqing was afraid of interrupting his train of thought, so he asked cautiously.

"No, no," Ye Yongjia resigned, "This matter can't be both, it is bound to be a trade-off, even if the officials discuss it, what's the use?" It's simply a matter of choice. ”

Cai Xianqing had no choice but to say nothing, quietly brushing his beard, looking at him thinking hard there; Seeing that the copper needle on the clock had taken a few more steps, he reminded in a low voice: "The so-called constant interruption is due to chaos, no matter what, Tinglong should make a plan as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of!" ”

"That's good," Ye Yongjia sighed and replied, "I've come up with a compromise. ”

Cai Xianqing heard something wrong, and motioned for him to continue.

"You and I replied to Master Wan, and ordered him to continue to investigate Zhu Yangrui, but every step in the future, we must write to ask for instructions. Wouldn't it be a wonderful way to keep everything under my control? Ye Yongjia raised his eyes and looked at Cai Xianqing.

Who knew that Cai Xianqing sighed twice, and his face became gloomy: "Tinglong is really confused?" The fact that the Lord is far away from us and that the messengers who come and go for instructions and the messengers who rush to and fro will surely arouse the alarm of the state and county officials. Once someone knows about it and reports it to the imperial court, won't the Chen Party make even more waves! ”

"Cai Lao is not in a hurry," Ye Yongjia patted his shoulder blade to soothe his emotions, "This is better than letting it go, right?" You are not ignorant of the temperament of the master, if you let him deal with it himself, in case he does not understand the intention of you and me, and does not cooperate properly, it will be even more defeat. That's why I call it a compromise. ”

Cai Xianqing was terrified in his heart, and said eagerly: "Lord Ye, if you want to keep the situation between the DPRK and China, you will stop the matter of inspecting the field system; If you are not willing to make progress in the investigation, you will let the master arrange it. If you don't advance or retreat, it will eventually become a difficult trend to ride a tiger, don't you understand? ”

Ye Yongjia disagreed: "Old Cai, I have always acted cautiously, why don't you trust me?" Okay, if you don't agree, I'll ask Director Cui again. "After that, he went out with his sleeves brushed up, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.
