Chapter 390: Full Cooperation
Cheng Jingzhou's impression of Song Wei is not bad, his manners are moderate, although he is a little naΓ―ve, but he is very sober and not stupid.
And from his words and deeds, it is not difficult to see that Song Wei is very much looking forward to the new policy of the saint, and is even willing to fight for it.
That's a good thing!
No, Jing Zhou's impression of Song Ming was much worse.
He knew that Song Ming's health was not good, but it was not to the point where he was about to die, and, as far as he knew, Song Ming's illness was only a matter of the last few days, so why did he go earlier?
If there are a lot of chores, then why don't you want to share some of them with others?
Moreover, Song Ming is the eldest son of the Song family, and no one will believe that he is a hard-working person who does it himself.
After all, his body is also not allowed.
Cheng Jingzhou understood what Song Wei meant, and probably guessed that the third prince should have directly crossed the eldest prince and reported the matter to General Song.
It's better to save him from being a wicked person again.
After Song Wei went back, he wrote another letter to his father, writing down everything he saw Cheng Jingzhou today and the content of their talks.
Song Huaien, who was far away at the border, was already furious after receiving the first letter!
"This son of a! I told him a long time ago that he should not be clever and that everything should be done according to the will of God, and he dared to disobey the yang and the yin! β
Major General Song also read the letter and was silent for a moment: "Father, it is better to leave this matter to the third brother to deal with." In addition to the two granges in Fengxian County, our fields in other places have to be cut off, in fact, over the years, we have also helped a lot, in the final analysis, the land under your name is still the light of the imperial court. β
Song Huaien's face trembled, could he not understand this truth?
In the early days, his land did not reach the upper limit, so it was only natural that he would put those people's fields in his name, so as to help them save some taxes.
But who knew that after so many years, the land in his name had far exceeded the tax exemption and could not be continued, otherwise, who knows if the saint would be too careful?
Tell me about you, a military general, wantonly confronted the land, and concealed it, what do you want to do?
Keeping a private soldier?
He thinks he can't afford this crime.
"It's okay now, this matter will be handed over to your third brother to deal with, although he is young, he is a good one."
As the third brother wrote in the letter, even the existence of the county lord of Jiahua and the prince of Xiangjun knows to avoid the limelight of Lord Cheng, which shows that the Qingzhang saint has made up his mind this time. We can't be led by the nose, we still have to clear out all these fields quickly, and we can't let them drag down the entire Song family. β
Song Huaien didn't speak, his expression was very serious.
Major General Song said again: "Father, we are far away at the border, think about your current subordinates, once something really happens, not only will we be implicated." β
Song Huaien closed his eyes helplessly, and said after a while: "The land must be cleaned up." It's best to let Serena Williams figure out the accounts a little more, and if we still have tax allowances in our names, we can help them. β
Major General Song understood.
This is what you can help, so you must help.
If you can't help, there's nothing you can do.
"It's really not possible, seeing that those days are really difficult, let Xiao Wei give them some money and food, and they can't watch them not survive!"
"Yes, father."
Song Huaien sighed and said: "What I'm most worried about now is that once these fields are cleared, our Song family will have to make up those tax grains or tax silver, which is not a small amount." Since we let the family stain the light at the beginning, we can't let them bear it anymore at this time. β
Major General Song didn't speak, and he also knew that those people were having a hard time, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with such a way.
"Father, if that's the case, I'm afraid our Song family will have to fold more than half of it. When the time comes, will we still be able to take care of the disabled and the infirm? β
Song Huaien was also worried, the father and son looked at each other, and no one had any idea.
The next day, Song Wei's letter came again.
The father and son, who had been worried for a day and a night, saw the letter again at this time, and only felt like a sunny light finally emerging on a rainy day.
"Lord Cheng is noble! He didn't collect any of the taxes and silver of the royal family, but our Song family, he was willing to write off a sum of money, and he was a real gentleman. β
Major General Song didn't expect that such a large amount would be eliminated by Cheng Jingzhou.
If he wants to be more serious, I am afraid that it will be more than double the amount of money that the Du family had to lose at the beginning!
One is because there are too many fields, and the other is because the years are too long, more than ten years before and after, if this is a tax payment, it is not a joke, it is possible to go bankrupt.
This is also why many powerful families are most afraid of Qingzhang.
"Master Cheng is high-minded, we can't be ignorant. Let Xiao Wei also have to take care of it, and where he needs to cooperate, he must cooperate well, and he must not cause trouble for Lord Cheng again. β
"Yes, father, son, go and polish the ink."
Zhenguo General's Mansion, the atmosphere is not very good.
Song Ming and Song Wei both received the general's letter, and Mrs. Song also received it, but in the letter that Mrs. Song unfolded, she did not describe her longing for her, but accused her of not being too accustomed to Song Ming and letting him come by temperament.
Song Ming received the letter, and some of the seals and account books needed to take care of the industry had to be handed over.
Song Wei was actually a little confused, because he hadn't taken care of these, where would it be?
"This, I won't take care of this, how can this be good?"
The butler stepped forward and replied: "The third prince doesn't have to worry, the general specially assigned a few people to follow you to help, if there is anything you don't understand, you can leave it to them." β
"But I still have to study."
"Don't worry, the third prince said in the letter, if you want to deal with this property first, you should take a leave of absence first, after all, now the eldest prince is also sick, and this external matter cannot be taken care of by Mrs."
Song Wei thought about it and took over.
If you don't pick it up, it won't work, can't it be that your mother and sister-in-law will go outside?
It's not appropriate!
"Because of the large number of fields, let's do it separately, first get these two granges in Feng County, and after clearing them out, they can fall back to their respective names. After that, the fields from other places are processed. β
Someone helped, and Song Wei dealt with it quickly.
As for Zhuang Tou, who was previously imprisoned by Cheng Jingzhou, he also put the person back after Song Wei began to move.
Song Ming's rights were taken away, so he was naturally quite dissatisfied.
Since he was a child, he was weak and could not learn martial arts, so he wanted to follow the path of a literati, but he had no talent for reading, so he had to rely on taking care of these industries to show that he was more capable.
Unexpectedly, now this last bit of dignity has been taken away.
