After receiving the order, Shen Shixing packed his luggage on the same day and prepared to board the ship to return to his hometown.

But just when Shen Shixing boarded the boat, Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai came over.

Shen Shixing squinted and laughed when he saw this, and took the initiative to give his hand: "What are the uncles and Daofu here for?" ”

"I'm here to see off the elder!"

Gu Xiancheng and the others smiled first and gave Shen Shixing a salute.

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "Why bother. ”

Saying that, Shen Shixing invited these people into the boat to talk, and ordered someone to make hot tea for Gu Xiancheng and the others.

"In the end, the elder of the pavilion is a person who is worried about state affairs and the villagers, and the holy decree was issued, so he hurriedly boarded the ship and went south, and did not bring many servants or take the official boat, presumably because he did not want to be disturbed by his relatives and friends along the way, in order to solve the matter of Nanzhi."

Gu Xiancheng said with a smile at this time, and looked at Li Sancai.

Li Sancai smiled and said: "Yes, when I heard my uncle, he recommended the elder of the pavilion to mediate the matter that was made by Hai Gangfeng this time, and in the end, the saint also determined that it was the elder of the pavilion, and the lower officials were also much more relieved." Although the subordinate officials are from the north, there are many relatives and friends in the south, and they really can't bear to see the restlessness of the south. ”

"Can the servant not be in a hurry to solve it, this matter not only makes Your Majesty, Yuanfu suspenseful, but also makes the villagers suspenseful, presumably you can't sleep because of this, right?"

Shen Shixing spoke, and asked Gu Xiancheng and the others with a smile as he spoke.

"yes, yes!"

Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai all nodded busily.

Gu Xiancheng then said first: "However, presumably the Pavilion Elder also knows that the reason why Yuan Fu is urging the Pavilion Elder to mediate this matter is naturally to test the Pavilion Elder to see if the Pavilion Elder can take over his position in the future." ”

Shen Shixing nodded very solemnly: "What Uncle Shi said is very true!" ”

When Gu Xiancheng heard Shen Shixing say this, he and Li Sancai smiled at each other, then got up and bowed his hand to Shen Shixing: "However, the lower officials dare to ask the pavilion elder not to care about Yuanfu's opinion!" ”

After hearing this, Shen Shixing pretended to look up in shock and looked at Gu Xiancheng: "What is this, tell me about it?" ”

"Then the subordinate will speak out, and ask the elder to look at the countrymen, don't blame."

Gu Xiancheng gushed endlessly: "The elder should know that at present, Jiangling suppresses speech and arbitrarily controls power, so that he alone has the final say in the world, and this situation will not last long!" What's more, the Son of Heaven is about to weaken the crown, and the so-called thing is bound to be reversed, and it will inevitably be reopened in the future, and at that time, as long as the official of the Taoist Department supports the elder of the pavilion, even if Jiangling does not support the elder of the pavilion, it will make the elder of the pavilion the first in the world; In addition, Gu is not talented, and is willing to lay out the cabinet elders in advance in the Ministry of Officials, follow the instructions of the cabinet elders, and distribute the people of the cabinet elders in the key points of various offices and departments, so that once the cabinet elders are the leaders in the future, they will be able to control the cabinet ministers internally, and the ministers and departments in the world will be able to exercise power; For example, Jiangling exercises power on the basis of the Chu people, and the elder of the pavilion can also exercise authority based on the Wu people in the future. ”

Li Zhi, who had not spoken, also said: "That's right, what's more, if you talk about wealth, the Chu people are not as good as Nanzhi!" ”

Shen Shixing nodded after hearing this, and then said: "This matter will be discussed later, why did you come to see the servant?" ”

Seeing that Shen Shixing was not angry, Gu Xiancheng suddenly became even more excited, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, after the elder of the pavilion arrives, he asks Hai Rui and others to stop and end the so-called democracy movement, instead of asking the gentry to make profits!" ”

"Servant understood."

"Don't worry, don't worry, the servant knows what to do."

Shen Shixing said and walked for a while, and then laughed again: "My Wu Di is really full of talents, especially you, who care so much about national affairs and world affairs!" The servants will remember you! ”

Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi were even happier when they heard it.

And after Gu Xiancheng and the others left, Shen Shixing restrained his smile, called his family member Shen Shan, and asked:

"After Shuai Jiamo, who was invited by my Shen family, calculates the optimal value of the tenant rent and interest determined by taking into account factors such as taxation and deed tax, and let several accounting offices in the house calculate it, and then report his results and accounting results to me!"

"But remember this, and don't tell anyone, or if it leaks, the servant will kill you!"

Shen Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, master!" ”

It turned out that Shen Shixing had already sent someone to his home in advance to calculate the optimal tenant rent ratio and interest because of the rent reduction and interest reduction in Nanzhi, and the person sent was still Shuai Jiamo, who was known by Zhu Yijun and arranged to teach arithmetic at Xingming Academy in the seventh year of Wanli because of Huizhou silk eucalyptus.

As soon as Shen Shixing arrived in Nanzhili, he met Gu Bingren, Wang Xijue, Xu Ying and other Nanzhihaoyou, and said bluntly:

"This matter should not be delayed any longer, we should quickly agree to the demands of the people, promise to reduce rent and interest, and send representatives from each family to determine the policy with the agricultural cooperatives and labor cooperatives, in addition, we must no longer engage in private tenants, but directly go to the public tenants and pay the deed tax to the government!"

"It's not! Elder Ge, how can you let us give the profits to those Diao people, and give a little to the government? ”

Gu Bingren hurriedly asked Shen Shixing at this time.

Shen Shixing was not angry, smiled and said, "Well, the servant is not here to discuss with you, but to inform you; ”

"As for whether you want it or not, it doesn't matter, that's your business!"

"Anyway, my Shen family wants to do this, I have asked my family to negotiate with the agricultural social worker society, and I have arranged for someone to calculate the land output."

"Since the old family of Ge has taken the lead in making profits, my Wang family is not easy to say anything, so let's also let the benefits of the people!"

Wang Xijue spoke at this time, and said to his son Wang Heng: "Inform the family, go and contact the people of the agricultural and labor cooperatives, let them send representatives, and then ask the people from the government to be intermediaries, and talk together in Liuyuan about rent reduction and interest reduction and processing money." ”

Wang Heng said yes.

At this time, Wang Shizhen also came out and said: "People say that there are two kings in Taicang, with the same surname and different clans, but since the Taiyuan Wang family wants to benefit the people and share worries for the country; How can the Langya Wang family be so backward, we also let the profits! ”

"You guys!"

Gu Bingren looked at Wang Xijue and Wang Shizhen, and glanced at Shen Shixing again, and then said, "I don't understand, why let?!" ”

】

"Very good! Very good! ”

Shen Shixing laughed when he saw this: "I'll just say, not all the big officials and gentry in Nanzhi value profit over righteousness!" ”

Shen Shixing looked at Gu Bingren as he spoke: "Don't be angry, this is the choice of each family." ”

As he spoke, Shen Shixing looked at Xu Ying: "What are your plans?" ”

Xu Ying looked at Shen Shixing with fire-breathing eyes: "What else can you plan, of course listen to the elder Ge's orders." ”

"I'll just say that it is impossible for Mr. Xu's family not to understand the imperial court!"

Shen Shixing suddenly smiled and said a word, and when he caught a glimpse of a small servant sending new tea, he personally brought a cup of new tea to Xu Ying, and said to the nobles present:

"It's all dispersed, those who are willing to reduce rent and interest and process money will go to the people of the agricultural social workers to talk, and if they don't want to, they will terminate the employment and tenant contract, they are all villagers, one is different and two are wide, there is no need to hate each other."

Shen Shixing said and left Wang Xijue alone.

After being left alone by Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue said with a smile: "I knew that the Pavilion Elder would do this." ”

"Those who know me, Yuan Yu also!"

Shen Shixing said with a smile, and then said: "Gu Shushi (Gu Xiancheng) and those juniors, they want to let Kedao and the officials support the temptation of the servants in the future, so that the servants will betray Jiangling, how could the servants do such a thing to be sorry for the monarch's father." ”

"Elder Ge is naturally not such a person! These latecomers are also naïve, if they want to be the first assistant in the future, they will have to look at the faces of the officials and Kedao, it is better to return to their hometowns to recuperate and make fun of their grandchildren. ”

Wang Xijue said.

"That's right!"

"Ruguan there, I have already ventilated, you and I will go into the government together and submit them to the government, cooperate with the Heavenly Family and the imperial court, etc., and set up a silk village and cotton shop in the newly established Korean Xuanfu Division to make up for the current losses."

Shen Shixing then said again.

Wang Xijue nodded, and then looked at Shen Shixing and said: "But our own weavers and fields are not enough, we have to take advantage of this opportunity when there are big families who refuse to give up profits to dig up their hired workers, in addition, it is best to let the imperial court dig out a few big families who are instigating the people to change behind the scenes, copy their homes, and confiscate their fields!" Then, we bought it. ”

"Naturally! Gong and I went to see Hai Gong and gave him all the evidence you knew and what he had. ”

Shen Shi said.

Wang Xijue shook his head: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, it's no wonder that we, who made them unable to hold their breath first, and want to go against the court and harm the township?" The unfaithful and unkind people should be so. ”
