Liang Xuezhi once won the lift, and twice in a row.

Although Jinshi did not pass the exam, during the exam, he made a small profit by selling goods at a stall.

In the Song Dynasty, the first thing a scholar did when he entered Beijing was not to go to the yamen to get an admission ticket, nor to participate in various literary meetings. Instead, find a place to set up a stall, and thousands of candidates sell goods together, the scene is spectacular, which can be called the spring wonder of Kaifeng and Hangzhou.

I don't know why, there are so many Song Dynasty imperial examinations at the starting point, but there is no protagonist who has set up a stall in Kaifeng.

Liang Xuexue failed to enter the list twice, and later failed to pass the exam, so he changed his career to business very smoothly.

Just in time for the withering of commerce in Hanzhong, I tossed a few times, and lost all my money.

Now at an age, I have to be hired to teach in the mountains.

Every time he thought about it, Liang Xuezhi burst into tears, and gradually began to paddle, talking about his own, and the schoolchildren made trouble with the schoolchildren.

"When I was old and young, I also governed "Zhou Yi".

Just when everyone was savoring the new interpretation, Liang Xuexue began to speak again: "I have read many commentaries on the Book of Changes, and it was not until ten years ago that I bought a copy of "Cheng's Book of Changes". Reading through this book, I was suddenly opened, but unfortunately it was past the year of destiny at that time. If you get this book 20 years earlier, I am afraid that you can also be admitted to the Jinshi. ”

Xiang Zhixian said: "Mr. Yichuan (Cheng Yi) is indeed good at Yiye. ”

Liang Xue continued: "Hexagram 35, like saying: Ming out of the ground, Jin, the gentleman to show himself Mingde. Mr. Yi Chuan's annotation of this sentence is that Ming Ming Virtue is in the world, and Ming Ming Virtue is also outside. At that time, when I read this, I was shocked that the "Book of Changes" was against the "Book of Rites". The way of the university, in Mingmingde, is actually expounding the Jin hexagram. ”

Cheng Yi's "Yi Chuan" was written 14 years ago, and was initially copied on a small scale, and later published and distributed in Guanzhong, and now many scholars have not yet come into contact with it.

Xiang Zhixian and others who were present did not read the Book of Changes, so it was even more impossible to read this new book.

Hearing Liang Xue say this, everyone was enlightened.

Liang Xuezhu said: "Today, listening to Xiaolang Jun's interpretation of "Mencius", I suddenly have the feeling of watching "Cheng's Yi Biography" ten years ago. In this sentence alone, the Book of Changes, the Book of Rites, and Mencius are all the same. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and looked at Zhu Ming again.

They finally reacted, and Zhu Ming was using the symbolic language of the "Jin Hexagram" to explain the meaning of "University", and then to explain the content of "Mencius".

This is not a simple study of the Three Classics, you must read the Book of Changes, the Book of Rites, and Mencius thoroughly in order to string together the three scriptures and corroborate each other.

At a young age, he has already penetrated the three classics!

Where did Zhu Ming dare to admit it, and hurriedly said: "I just had a whim, and I haven't read through a few classics." ”

Bai Chongyan admired it at this moment and said: "Da Lang doesn't have to be too humble, the master is a teacher, and I have benefited a lot from being taught today." ”

"Yes!" Li Hanzhang echoed.

Zheng Hong stared at Zhu Ming with wide eyes, he was not good at learning and couldn't understand well, but he had already figured out that this young man who loves to tell stories is very good.

Xiang Zhixian's eyes lit up, and an idea popped up in his head.

He can report to the imperial court that he has discovered auspiciousness. A teenager can go through the Three Classics, what is this not auspicious?

The appearance of a prodigy in his own jurisdiction shows that he has done a good job in education!

Of course, a magistrate's recital has to be handed to the Zhongshu Province first. Whether it can get into the hands of the emperor or not, you need to try your luck, because there are too many auspicious places in various places, and the officials have long been numb to this.

At the beginning of Song Huizong's accession to the throne, he specially built a garden to collect the auspicious things in the world.

Those who fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground...... There are all kinds of categories, and the garden is almost full of them.

A prodigy, nothing unusual, most of them have to be ignored.

"Master, it's time to serve!" The butler ran over and said.

The old white man asked the troupe to stop, was helped up by the slaves, and said while the food was served: "Today's old mother's ninetieth birthday, thank you to all the nobles and sages, take time out of your busy schedule to go to the banquet, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the old mother...... To the county with the respect of parents, but also to make the humble house shine, please to the county do not hesitate to instruct. ”

Xiang Bi immediately stood up, first congratulated him, recited the birthday poem he wrote, and then changed his words: "The holy monarch is in the court, the sea is rich, the people are happy, and this unprecedented prosperity is also." However, there are barbarians in the west, who covet the territory of the Great Song Dynasty day and night. The imperial court wants to train archers on Qinfeng Road, and my Lizhou Road is close at hand, so it is my duty. This year's sales money and buying money are going to rise. In the past ten years, both large and small households must be recovered and made up......"

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Some people have already received the news in advance, but many more have just learned about it.

"Looking at Xixiang County, everyone here is a leading figure," Xiang Bitu said poorly, "With the old lady's birthday, I will dig out my heart, and say so much, you should also be ready to prepare." Does the white staff think so? ”

The old white man wanted to scold his mother, he had already guessed Xiang Bi's intention, but he never expected that Xiang Zhixian would say it so bluntly.

Moreover, before the banquet began, he was forced to make a statement!

The old white man said stubbornly: "Last year's drought, my family's harvest was not good, and I had to help my neighbors, but there was not much money and grain left. Since the court has been sent, I should respond with all my strength and try my best to ...... Satisfy the government. ”

With such an ambiguous statement, Xiang Zhixian was of course not satisfied, and asked directly: "Thirty horses of silk, five hundred stone rice, and seven hundred thousand money, can you still get it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

This time it was really dead silent, no one spoke, only the sound of the servants walking with food.

Xiang Zhixian Lion opened his mouth widely, and let the old white man give out the goods, which was about 1,000 yuan, and the Bai family's floating production was only more than 5,000 yuan.

The old white man put his hands under the table, clenched his fists tightly at the moment, if it weren't for his mother's ninetieth birthday, he would probably be able to turn his face and scold people on the spot.

After relieving for a long time, he finally suppressed his anger and said in a begging tone: "The county respects Rongbing, the land in the countryside is barren, and the tea plantations also have to pay heavy taxes, and there are really not a few left in the family. What's more, even if it is paid in full, the money for purchase, and the money is far from reaching 1,000. ”

Xiang Bi reminded: "There are still endowments, the people of Xixiang, who owe ten years of taxes, and this time they will also have to pay them together." ”

Many of those tax arrears come from evasions.

Although people fled into the mountains, their household registration has not been eliminated, and it has always been there. The state also knows what the situation is, everyone is fooling around, and occasionally in order to make up for the political achievements, they will also levy harsh taxes to make up for it.

Now, it has become an excuse to urge taxes from the county.

Moreover, the state issued an official document only to make up the taxes for the first three years, and the county had to make up for the taxes for the first ten years.

The old white man's plan was to let the five Bai Fu brothers take care of the errand.

This Xiang Zhixian's statement directly asked the landlords present to respond!

The magistrate dared to be so tough, it was nothing more than a good dog - the anti-thief Zhu Zhu book.

All the squires present looked at the old white man at the moment.

The old white man's scalp was numb, and his mouth was dry: "My family can only take out twenty horses of silk, three hundred stone rice, and three hundred thousand yuan." ”

"Okay, barely enough!" Xiang Bi immediately finalized the amount.

The old white man felt weak all over his body, how difficult it was for him to save money, and he was forced to bleed profusely today.

Xiang Zhixian looked at the rest of the squires and smiled, "What about you?" ”

The squires have regretted that they should not have come to the birthday feast today.

The old white clerk was forced to pay taxes just now, and a standard has been set, if anyone dares to refuse, he will definitely be remembered by Xiang Zhixian.

In the poor and remote Xixiang County, there are not even a few jinshi, where do you get a tough backer? Immediately assessing their own situation, the squires were forced to pay taxes one by one.

Xiang Zhixian finally smiled, and he had to give him some praise and encouragement.

He only needs to complete 90% of the tasks assigned by the state, and the rest of the tax dollars are at his disposal. Take the big head yourself, wish the main book to share some, and throw the rest to the county officials, everyone can eat with a fat stomach.

The magistrates of the Song Dynasty were so hanging, much more majestic than their counterparts in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it also depends on the place, if it is changed to Jiangnan, it is purely looking for death, and it will bully and bully the poor countryside.

Zhu Ming witnessed the wonderful picture throughout the whole process, and quietly squeezed his eyebrows at his father.

Dean Zhu finally saw what a feudal society is, being a landlord can only be oppressed by the government, and you have to be an official to have a future for development.

Today, what has been forcibly assessed to the magistrate is only two kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the arrears of land in previous years. As for this year's land tax, it has not yet been levied, and there are other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

This kind of forcible apportionment is actually a due errand, which is completely in line with the regulations of the imperial court.

The landlords who were cut by the county can find the small people in the countryside to suck their blood, and they can get some of it back.

A birthday banquet was extremely frustrating.

……

Night.

Xiang Zhixian took the initiative to find the old white man, and said affectionately: "Bai Weng is tired." ”

"Don't dare." The old white man didn't have a good face outside.

Xiang Zhixian smiled all over his face: "Bai Weng forgives, but I have no choice but to borrow the old lady's birthday banquet as a dojo." The money and food apportioned by the white man can be halved when he is handed over. ”

"Thank you for the county's forgiveness." The old white man was in a slightly better mood outside, but he still had resentment in his heart.

This Xiang Zhixian still knows how to keep his hands.

Lao Bai has been the master of the book for 20 years and has promoted many officials, this is where his foundation lies, and Xiang Bi must give some face.

It is estimated that there are still a few squires here today, and they can also get half of the apportionment.

personally sent Xiang Bili out of the house, and the old white man called his eldest son: "When you lend money, the interest will be reduced by one point." Find a few more reliable slaves, keep watch on the mountains every day, and report back immediately if you find something abnormal! ”

"Father thinks there will be civil unrest?" Bai Dalang is really not stupid.

The old white man said: "This time I was apportioned a lot, and I have to pay summer grain next." Some big households have suffered losses, and they will let the small people make up for it, and maybe they will have to make trouble. As long as you don't come to rob my house, the bigger the trouble, the better, and you can kill the surnamed Xiang to relieve your anger! I've lived to be in my seventies, and it's the second time I've seen such a shameless dog! ”

The last time was ten years ago, Cai Jing cleared the land of the whole country, and the magistrate of Xixiang took the opportunity to fool around. In the end, there was a civil unrest, and I wish the main book to rebel at that time, and he was recruited after a few years of tossing in the ravine.
