"That's right." Aunt Sun nodded, deeply convinced.

Hongmei saw that she was not in the way, and was about to say goodbye to her and leave with Wu Yuli's mother and daughter, when she heard her speak again.

"Since Sister Princess is going to entertain guests, it just so happens that the third lady and I will go to the princess's courtyard to sit together."

Hongmei: "."

The princess wants to entertain guests, what are you going to do with a concubine?

Fortunately, the Mu family is not an official eunuch family, otherwise, they must not pay attention to the prince and the princess, and let the lowly concubines come out to entertain guests, who is this looking down on?

Wu Yuli didn't seem to expect that Aunt Sun would go with her to join in the fun, she had seen this Aunt Sun a few times before, and every time she disdained to be in the company of white people like them.

This time, he took the initiative to come up?

When a few people arrived at Xia Jing's courtyard, Xia Jing also glanced at Aunt Sun in surprise, this is the sun coming out in the west.

"Sister, since you arrived in Lingnan, your sister has never come to visit you, are you used to living here?" Aunt Sun was very happy to see Xia Jing.

"Why are you here?"

Unlike Aunt Sun's familiar attitude, Xia Jing seemed much colder.

A trace of sadness flashed on Aunt Sun's face, as if she didn't expect Xia Jing's attitude towards her to be so indifferent.

She stepped forward and bowed to Xia Jing in a proper manner, "Sister, do you have an opinion about your sister?" ”

Xia Jing walked directly past her and said to Wu Yuli's mother and daughter who came in behind her, "Come in and sit." ”

Wu Yuli glanced at Aunt Sun, who was slightly bent on her knees, hesitated for a moment, and still dragged Mu Guangzhen past her and followed Xia Jing into the house.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Aunt Sun's face, but it was only a moment before she adjusted her facial expression, as if nothing had happened, stood up straight and followed everyone into the main house.

As soon as everyone sat down, Aunt Sun slowly shook the fan in her hand, and it was full of charm, "Sister, the whole house belongs to you to be cool, this big summer, it's really enjoyable to be here with my sister." ”

Wu Yuli's mother and daughter naturally felt the coolness in the house, and when they heard that Princess Qian's salt shop still sold ice, they were also shocked and envious.

In the winter in Lingnan, it is a miracle if it snows, and such a miracle is simply impossible.

And Princess Qian is really a great skill, and she can actually make ice. In this hot Lingnan, it is the only business, which is simply a business that makes money every day, and it is a lie to say that you are not envious and jealous.

They believed that when Aunt Sun said this, they must be envious and jealous that Princess Qian could make money every day.

Xia Jing didn't have the heart to guess the inner thoughts of the women below, she waited for the maid to serve tea before she looked at Aunt Sun, and asked, "It's really a dereliction of duty on the part of this concubine, I didn't know that it was a crime for you to enter the palace." Since you have spoken out today, the concubine will tell the prince when she turns around, and see what way he thinks of to resettle you. ”

“.” Aunt Sun never dreamed that Xia Jing would play her cards so unconventionally, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.

If she let the prince know what she said just now after Xia Jing misinterpreted it, I am afraid that the prince would really believe Xia Jing's nonsense and take her from the palace to Zhuangzi.

Xia Jing saw that she was silent, so she turned her head and greeted Wu Yuli.

Now the topic of the whole Lingnan is around cleaning up the hidden households, re-measuring the acres of land, and Wu Yuli can't avoid this topic in the register.

She said: "This year, our Mu family has also opened a lot of wasteland in the footsteps of the princess, and it has nothing to do with us to pay taxes in the past three years, but when we first arrived in Lingnan, we are not sure what crops to plant on the wasteland, and the princess has any good suggestions?" ”

Aunt Sun, who was sitting next to her, heard this, and pricked her ears, she was also panicking about this, not knowing whether to plant crops according to her own needs or choose what to plant according to the needs of the market?

"Plenty of food!"

Wu Yuli didn't seem to expect the arrangement to be so simple, "Only grow food? Don't need to grow some other crops? ”

"Food is the most important thing, and other crops are just icing on the cake, and a little can be planted in the corners of the wasteland."

Nowadays, the world is chaotic, food and force are the king of survival, and other dispensable crops can be ignored for the time being.

"Don't you grow fruit?" Aunt Sun feels that fruits are more expensive than grains, and growing fruits is more cost-effective than growing grains.

"Fruits can be planted in small quantities, and the fruits in the mountains and fields of Lingnan can be eaten without fruits?" Xia Jing glanced at her.

Aunt Sun sneered, "The princess is right, the food is important, if the food is not important, the prince will not think about reform, the reason is not that he wants to collect more food." ”

As everyone knows, this reform of King Qian's Mansion is to collect more taxes and hoard more grain.

It's just that everyone understands it in their hearts, but they just don't want to cooperate.

On behalf of the Qian Wangfu, Li Chengshang stood on the stage and talked at length about cleaning up the hidden households, re-measuring the acres of land, the necessity of registering and making a register, and the development prospects of Lingnan.

The people below just responded silently when they heard this, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, and the people in power said that they were all over the place, but they had no interest in the local Haoqiang.

They only know that such a reform is detrimental to their interests.

King Qian turned a blind eye to the resistance of the people below, and smiled amiably on a fleshy face, "Having said all this, what do you think about this?" ”

Sitting in the front row is the top-ranked family, and there is also the chief soldier Niu Debao of the Lingnan Tun Guard.

He stood up and asked, "Lord Wang, this re-measurement of the acres of land should have nothing to do with our guard, right?" All we have there is military land, and there is no possibility of hidden households. ”

King Qian looked down at the manuscript that Mr. Zhang had prepared for him, and coughed heavily, "Ahem!" For your question, this is exactly what this king wants to announce next. The reason why this meeting will come to you is because the guard station is also in the process of cleaning up, and the guard station has to check the military households, and it is even more necessary to re-measure the military fields and register them, and the grain and grass in the guard station need to be proportioned according to the number of military households. ”

The government of the Dayu Dynasty is corrupt, and many of the military fields of the local guard have long been privately swallowed by those in power, or take advantage of this opportunity to rectify clearly, and the army's grain and grass will be a big problem in the future.

Niu Debao listened to King Qian's words, and sighed in his heart, thinking of the countless military fields under his name, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead for a while.

Seeing that Niu Debao seemed to have no opinion, King Qian looked at the others again.

Tong Song, the eldest young master of the Tong family, kept shaking his fan, with a gloomy handsome face, thinking that some time ago, in order to please Xia Jing and befriend Prince Qian's mansion, he handed over Xia Jing's ploughing cattle and mules and horses, and his heart was dripping blood!

He found that since the Qian Wangfu moved to Lingnan, they Tong family. No, it should be said that the entire Lingnan family has been in a state of bankruptcy.

Especially their Tong family, they have been breaking their fortunes constantly, and they are about to break their wealth and have no pants left.

Originally, before King Qian came to Lingnan, their family sat firmly on the throne of the first family in Lingnan, but now, their family is about to become a second-rate family.

Last time, they were forced to pay the commercial tax of the shop, and later they were forced to pay the tax of the wasteland.

They haven't paid the huge taxes on the wasteland yet, and the demon moths are starting to grow here again.

According to the rules of the Qianwang Mansion, the peasant households and acres of land in Lingnan will be reorganized, and there will be no need to wait for next year, and the Guanfu will be able to harvest several times or even more than ten times more grain than in previous years.

"The head of the Tong family?"

Being named by King Qian, Master Tong reluctantly stood up, "As a subject of Dayu, the grass people have always been impartial and law-abiding, and they dare not have opinions on the decrees implemented by the prince. ”

This is a bit of a gambling element, he doesn't dare to have an opinion, it's not that he doesn't have an opinion.

King Qian looked at him with a smile, "In this inventory operation, the first one will check the Tong family, this king wants to see if Lingnan has the Tong family as an example, what is the situation of other families?" ”

Hearing this, Master Tong's face was as black as ink, and he almost dripped ink.

He gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the prince acts according to the law and comes out with the credentials, we will definitely cooperate and set an example for everyone." ”

"Haha. As long as you are willing to cooperate, it will be fine. King Qian looked pleased.

Tong Song saw that King Qian could still laugh at this moment, and suddenly had doubts in his heart.

He didn't know what other hole cards King Qian had, so he could still laugh now.

It's just that everyone adheres to the mentality of taking one step at a time and watching one step at a time, waiting to watch the show.

"Dayu's law binds you, and it also binds this king. Naturally, this decree will be done according to the law. ”

As soon as he heard this, the ominous premonition in Tong Song's heart became even stronger.

He knew that all the account books in the yamen had been burned, and it was impossible to conjure them up again.

It's just that why is my heart not steady?

He was uneasy, but he heard King Qian speak again, "According to the terms of Dayu's law, many of you have meritorious fame, and those who have meritorious fame according to the law have a limited amount of exemption from land taxes. We re-register this time according to the amount of taxes you pay to divide, the number of acres of land to pay taxes plus the number of acres of acres that should be deducted for fame, the calculation is basically the number of acres of land of the princely family, do you have any opinions on this algorithm? ”

"Boom!"

When everyone heard this, the meeting exploded on the spot!

That's it!

And such an algorithm?

Which scumbag who killed a thousand knives came up with this bad idea?

The Yu Dynasty has different degrees of tax exemption for people with meritorious reputations.

In the past, no matter how much land we had, everyone paid a little tax symbolically.

If this standard is followed, then it means that all the powerful families will lose a lot.

Especially the kind of person who likes to take advantage of a small advantage, shrink again and again, and shrink to nowhere to shrink, he will reluctantly symbolically have a little sex.

This kind of family is afraid that after this time, the assets will shrink by five or six percent.

Everyone understood what King Qian meant, and immediately there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and some people were anxious and distressed that the land property would be forcibly requisitioned by the government.

There were many older people in charge of the house, who could not bear the blow of this decree and fainted directly.

I don't know if they are really dizzy or deliberately pretending to be dizzy in order to avoid liquidation.

It's just that the process of things will not stop because of someone's will, and their efforts to pretend to be stunned are in vain.

Hearing the movement of the front office in the backyard, Xia Jing hurried to the front office and found that the house doctor was shuttling around the old men.

Wu Yuli was surprised: "Princess, what's going on?" ”

Looking around again, she noticed that the old lady of the Mu family and the second child of the Mu family were standing there well, Wu Yuli seemed to be relieved in her heart, and she was faintly disappointed.

Xia Jing was in a good mood and said: "It may be that these people are not in good health and are dizzy from heat!" ”

Seeing Xia Jing coming, King Qian, who was coming over here, heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his princess's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense increased.

The front office was in a mess, and King Qian handed over the rest of the matter to the two gentlemen and several sons to solve.

He invited Xia Jing, "Would the princess be willing to go to the king's courtyard to drink tea?" ”

Xia Jing glanced back at Wu Yuli's mother and daughter, and smiled apologetically: "It may not be convenient, I still have a daughter here." ”

"It's okay, let's go sit down with you." The nature of King Qian is not to care about the defense of men and women.

In his opinion, this is not a big deal.

Xia Jing's people who came here in the last days didn't pay much attention to the defense of men and women, just now they just casually found a reason, and now they saw that King Qian was sincerely invited, and they were afraid that he would have something to discuss with her, so they agreed.

When the group arrived at the small courtyard where King Qian lived, Anu immediately arranged for people to wait for several masters.

Sitting down, King Qian noticed Aunt Sun who came over, and asked, "Why is Sun with the princess today?" ”

If he remembers correctly, this wife and a concubine are two people who hate each other.

Without waiting for Xia Jing to speak, Aunt Sun replied first: "The concubine doesn't know what crops to plant in the wasteland outside the city, so I took advantage of today's free time to go to my sister for advice." ”

Saying that, she smiled gratefully at Xia Jing: "With my sister's opinion, the concubine can now know it." ”

"Oh." King Qian looked at Xia Jing with interest, waiting for her to explain.

Xia Jing took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and gave him a blank look, "What can I say, it's nothing more than thinking about a variety of grains." ”

King Qian smiled and nodded: "The people regard food as the sky, and this opinion of the princess is in line with the king's wishes." ”

Aunt Sun listened to their conversation, and then watched their interaction, rolled her eyes indecently, and slandered in her heart: Slut, a lot of people are still here to seduce men when they are old, shameless!

Xia Jing didn't know what Aunt Sun was thinking, otherwise she would have been slapped a few times, how could she seduce people by saying a few words in her usual life?

It was the first time that Mu Guangzhen had such a close contact with King Qian, and at first it was a nervous handkerchief.

Slowly, the excitement calmed down, and when she saw King Qian looking at Princess Qian gently and affectionately, her heart was so sour that she couldn't do it, and her two hands unconsciously began to stir the handkerchief again.

Queen Qian felt a scorching gaze glued to him, and at first he thought it was Aunt Sun.

However, he turned his head to look for this line of sight, which happened to meet Mu Guangzhen's eyes.

Mu Guangzhen's pupils shrank suddenly, smiled at him fixedly, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

King Qian was stunned by this little girl, what is the situation?

With his decades of experience in the love scene, he knew what this little girl meant, just

He looked back at Xia Jing, thoughtful!

Xia Jing's scalp was numb when she was stared at by King Qian, "What is the matter with you looking for me?" If it's okay, I'll send the guest back first. ”

King Qian waved his hand, "We'll talk about it later, you go and see off the guests first." ”

Sitting back in his carriage, Mu Guangzhen opened the curtain and looked at the government behind him, and after putting down the curtain, he said, "Mother, I didn't expect the princess to be so generous." ”

Wu Yuli was puzzled when she heard this, "What did the princess do to make you think she was generous?" ”

Mu Guangzhen didn't know what to think of, and smiled sweetly.

She looked at Wu Yuli, "You didn't notice that when we came out of the prince's courtyard, that Aunt Sun didn't come out with us, I think she must have stayed to wait for the prince." In the face of the concubine's competition for favor, she can show indifference, isn't it generosity? ”
