It turns out that He Shaozu has been busy jumping up and down in the past few months, but it is really not without gains, such as several officials in important positions recommended by Feng Bozhang, although they don't look down on He Shao's group of officials, but there are always some old things that need to be promoted in "important positions", through heavy bribes to Feng Bozhang and Gu Huaien, they were also transferred to Kyoto, but because they were separated from Feng Daxiangguo, the positions they got were not so prominent, not enough to satisfy greed.

It was these few people who planned to see the wind and rudder, and He Shaozu sent him forward, thinking of the connection between him and Jing Zhaoliu, so these little shrimp-like characters in the Feng Party were also happy to befriend him.

He Shaozu gradually became acquainted with him, and through the introduction of these people, he got acquainted with the steward of Feng Bozhang's mansion, of course, he didn't think of bribing Feng Bozhang at all, so he just chatted with the steward a lot, in order to find out what important evidence of the crime, so as to use this as a handle to ask for credit in front of Mao Wei.

Although He Shaozu married Mao Wei's slave, but he was not valued by Mao Wei, it is obvious to all, so the steward only thinks that He Shaozu is a rudder who sees the wind and rudder, and there is not much prevention against him, if He Shaozu really wants to bribe Feng Xiang, he is in the middle, and there are many benefits, plus He Shaozu was favored by a businessman because of the use of the name of Eleven Niang, and he actually started a business in partnership, and his hands gradually became lively.

For example, Feng Bozhang has a lot of private wealth, and he has a lot of land and property outside, and the house slaves who are slightly needed are arranged to serve as stewards in various places, resulting in a shortage of servants in the prime minister's mansion, and he is preparing to buy them recently.

When He Shaozu heard about this at that time, he didn't take it seriously at all, but when he turned his head, he met Mao Wei who mentioned that he needed to insert his ears and eyes into Feng's mansion.

Is it not a coincidence?

He Shaozu simply thought that he was like divine help!

The next thing is simple, as long as he turns around and asks which tooth shop the steward in charge of purchasing and enslavement usually cooperates with, Mao Wei only needs to insert his eyes and ears into that tooth shop, whether he buys it or threatens it, and let the tooth nephew recommend him to the Feng Mansion.

Although the method is simple, but because of Yu Rang's exposure, Mao Wei can no longer use this chess piece, and he will not be able to make friends with the people in Feng Fuzhong in a short time, so he is at a loss.

No matter how alert Feng Bozhang is, it is impossible to find out every slave he buys, and even if he investigates carefully, he can't find anything strange.

Of course, it is impossible for the newly entered servants to wait for their masters closely, most of them are doing some labor work of sprinkling and sweeping, while receiving the training of the steward, if they really get the weight, not to mention the waste time, they have to wait for the opportunity of the right time and place, but Mao Wei knows the various plans arranged by the Queen Mother, and this person does not even need to be used as eyes and ears, but is simply placed in the Feng Mansion.

With the information provided by He Shaozu, everything becomes very simple.

It was only half a month later that this person was smoothly purchased into the Feng Mansion.

The key person is in place, all the conditions are in place, and the Queen Mother, who has been silent for four years, can finally start her plan that has been changed and perfected several times.

He also said that on this day, Eleven Niang got an invitation from Li Shisanlang and invited her to the literary meeting.

For the children of the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, literati and elegant guests, it is very common to hold literary meetings, and occasionally there will be boudoir women who follow their brothers to invite, but it is rare to be invited by the host, but Li Shisanlang is good friends with Xue Luli, and even with He Zhan and Wang Ningzhi over the years, he is also familiar with the face, and this time he accidentally got a few good paintings, and he was interested, so he rented a villa placed by Liu Shiyi, and invited friends to enjoy it.

Li Shisanlang Li Sui, two years ago cited the Ming Sutra and the first, but now it has not yet been released, but because he was born in Jingzhao Shiwang, obviously does not need to wait for seven years, after he has achieved fame, he intends to move around with many young people who are close to the age but have been ordained, so he invites today not only the scribes who are ready to participate in the imperial examination, and the "same year" of the first list and the first, but also those who have been ordained.

For example, the bookier Lin Xi who is talking about it right now.

About this person, Eleven Niang had only heard Lu Li mention it earlier, knowing that he was a scholar of the Hongwen Museum, and his outspoken temperament was similar to that of his father Lin Xiaoshang, Lin Xiaoshang was quite valued by Pei Xiang back then, and he was even more respected by the Virtue Sect, and his career was smooth, but he died early, only such an only son, I don't know if it was because of Lin Xiaoshang, Lin Ximing Jing and the last three years of service were released, or he was awarded the book Lang, this honor is enough to make the world's scholars envious.

At this time, the appreciation of the paintings has come to an end, and as the only lady, Eleven Niang consciously avoided the chief and sat alone.

But it is still in the water pavilion that leaks on all sides, only the light veil hangs down, and it is natural to hear and understand the history of the scriptures and the history of the Lang Jun, not to mention that at this time, the topic has shifted to government decrees and state affairs, and Lin Xi's indignant talk is becoming more and more loud.

"If the peasant households can live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to send them rich or even sell themselves into slavery? The root cause is that the local government has long been unable to grant land, but the taxes apportioned by the private households are still paid according to the full acre, and the people cannot bear the heavy taxes, so they give the nobles the opportunity to annex the cultivated land, and even collude with the officials to forcibly occupy the land! And every time the fugitive households are searched and forced to return to the fields, but the acres of land are not enough, there will still be escapes! If you want to cure it radically, you must only strictly inspect the hidden fields, severely punish the corrupt officials and land tyrants who annex the people's acres, and grant 100 acres of land according to the law, so that the Ding households can live and work in peace and contentment, and naturally there will be no more people who want to flee, and the financial worries of the monarchy can be relieved. ”

Hearing this, Binu fidgeted at first, and Seeing that she was worried, Eleven Niang lowered her voice and smiled to comfort: "Don't worry, although the Holy Majesty ordered to search the fugitive household, no one dared to detect the head of the visible hope, and besides, even if you dare to detect, the identity of your uncle's family is not a fugitive at this time." ”

Of course, those tenant farmers who are on the run cannot pay the harvest like real tenant farmers, and in order to feed their families, the corn they pay is several times doubled, but even so, they are lighter than taxes, and they will not starve. Of course, almost no Haokuo is willing to forge a guest registration for the fugitive, in case it is discovered, but the government will send the fugitive to their place of origin, they only need to bear the fine, and even if they are done properly, the fugitive does not need to be released, and they are still happy to be exploited and oppressed by the haokuo.

Eleven Niang forged a guest registration for Uncle Binu's family, and did not annex Mintian, so it was impossible to be detected.

"What this Lang Jun said is good!" Binu had just put her mind at ease because of Eleven Niang's relief, so she listened to this sentence, and she couldn't help but look away, but saw that the speaker was sitting at the end of the seat, only in his early twenties, and the white robe on his body was already gray, and his face was yellow and hungry, obviously his family was not so wealthy.

Eleven Niang also tasted this scholar who should be from Kyoto and was preparing to take the exam, either a descendant of the world or a son of Hanwei, and sure enough, she listened to him.

"From Tanzhou to Beijing, there are many things to see and hear along the way, since the imperial court ordered to search for fugitives, and those who annexed the hidden fields did not bribe their assets, that is, they escaped punishment, and those who were forced to flee had no way out, and after a year of hard work, they paid the tenant rent in full, and they were searched out to escort their hometowns, but the government had no land to distribute, so they simply did not serve hard labor, and they were even more bold and greedy, and they actually colluded with the tyrants through the imperial court search order, forcibly occupied the people's land, and wrongfully punished the good people for fleeing households, didn't it worsen the situation?"

Lin Xi was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this: "It's really a shame that Feng Xiangguo is still showing his merits in front of the emperor, saying that the search order has achieved great results, why worry about insufficient taxes if he persists?" Also, officials collude with the powerful, as long as they give up their wealth to deal with the past and make up for the taxes owed in the old years, they can turn around and get worse, which can be said to give up small profits and gain great benefits, and the only ones who really suffer are ordinary people! ”

The two men talked very fiercely, but most of the scholars had strange faces and were silent and did not agree.

Although it doesn't matter if they talk about national politics, they only reprimand Xiangguo for being greedy and bullying the people based on empty words, which is very inappropriate, even He Zhan and Lu Li clearly knew that Feng Bozhang's party had indeed committed such a crime, but there was no evidence, and of course they were silent at this time.

Li Shisanlang, the master, simply terminated this topic: "There has always been controversy about this tax reform, and those of us who have never been in the government are not familiar with local government affairs, and at this time the discussion is also on paper...... Now that it's almost noon, let's still call for wine and food, and continue to evaluate the paper, which is the purpose of the literary meeting. ”

He took the lead in reciting his own poem and was evaluated by everyone.

However, before the Wenhui was dissolved, they suddenly heard the noise outside the garden, and everyone was surprised.

——This place is located on the bank of Qujiang Pond, only across the water from the Furong Garden, but just outside this garden, in Chang'an City at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and even not far from the Furong Garden of the other palace, there are actually gangsters who commit murder and kill people on the spot in broad daylight!
