"Lord Xiao, why don't you speak, but is there something difficult?"

Chen Jin's voice continued to press back.

Xiao Chen straightened his body, and then reminded: "Grandpa Chen, it's really inappropriate for us to do this frequently. ”

"The people are mainly farming, and the large-scale annexation of land is afraid that it will cause resentment among the people, which is offending the farmers of the world!"

"Once it gets big, I'm afraid you won't end well."

Chen Jin naturally knew his concerns.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are mainly classified into the four major groups of people in the world, among which the number of ordinary farmers is the largest.

Once the people's grievances boil over, under the chain reaction, it may be a situation of people's uprising!

Chen Jin said earnestly: "Lord Xiao, our family knows that you are far-sighted. ”

"Don't worry, we have a sense of proportion, just circle the last wave of land first!"

Xiao Chenhu looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the plan on the map in front of him, and hesitated slightly: "Is it really the last batch?" ”

In order to let Xiao Chen feel at ease, Chen Jin almost patted his chest and promised: "That's natural!" ”

Xiao Chen didn't say anything more, and nodded directly: "Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back next, please wait for good news!" ”

He got up and arched his hand, intending to leave.

But before his feet could be raised, Chen Jin asked coldly: "Don't worry, Lord Xiao, in fact, we still have some things we want to ask you." ”

Xiao Chen had an ominous premonition, but he was still patient, and turned around and smiled: "Father-in-law, it's okay to say it." ”

"What do you think of the autumn tax?"

What is the problem?

Xiao Chen was confused, thinking that the tax knowledge was not under the control of Dongchang.

Presumably, the other party is a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink!

Xiao Chen's eyes rolled slightly, but he reacted to one thing.

It is true that taxes are not in their own hands, but in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

Isn't the book of the Ministry of Rites now Ji Yunzhang?

And this person was personally recommended!

Could it be that he wanted to borrow his own hand and let Ji Yunzhang help with things?

As his thoughts soared, Xiao Chen suddenly realized.

Now the imperial court will pray for the autumn harvest for the people every year, and a large amount of money is spent on real money.

But these things are all paid at public expense, and the people don't pay a penny, and it is estimated that Chu Yanwu is distressed, so they have already been handed over to Chen Jin to take care of.

After all, in order to make money, Chu Yanwu, as the king of a country, even did not hesitate to annex land in the past, just to enrich his internal treasury......

Chen Jin felt a little angry in his heart, but he endured it without having a seizure.

Forget it, what kind of organization what kind of organization what kind of slave, neither of them is a good thing!

Seeing Chen Jin's smile, Xiao Chen also sighed and proposed: "Autumn tax, I think there is still something that needs to be improved about this item." ”

"For example, the prayer tax and the dragon tax that should have been managed by the Ministry of Rites should be mentioned upwards, and the imperial court can't just go out and not enter."

As soon as these words fell, Chen Jin showed a satisfied look on his face: "Inspector Xiao's idea is really good, I want to go with our family!" ”

To put it bluntly, he just wants to recover all the money that the court is obliged to spend for the people in the blessing autumn harvest, and use taxation to recover all the money.

No, he even said that he wanted to make another sum of money on top of this!

Xiao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "My father-in-law has won the prize." ”

But seeing that Chen Jin also got up, took two steps forward, and landed a hand on his shoulder: "Lord Xiao, you can talk to Ji Yunzhang about this matter." ”

"He is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has a certain prestige in the court, and praying for the autumn harvest is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, if he can speak, it will be good, but."

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and as expected, this old fox didn't become a good fart, so let him be cannon fodder!

He was a little troubled, squeezed his eyebrows and persuaded him: "Gonggong Chen, this matter is really too far-fetched, is there a lack of some process rules?" ”

"The household department is the place in charge of the country's economy, and it should be more reasonable to let the household department mention it, right?"

Where did Chen Jin not know such a truth?

He suppressed his voice: "Someone has to be in the limelight, as long as Zhang Yunzhang speaks first, I have my own way on the household side." ”

Looking at Xiao Chen's embarrassed look, Chen Jin's face was a little less attentive, "Why, you are so embarrassed, don't you think I'm not for the people?" ”

"Now is the time for the imperial court to use money, the wealth of the country can create the wealth of the people, you should understand this truth!"

"Or ......"

He looked at Xiao Chen, deliberately lengthened his tail note, and said meaningfully: "Do you think our family will do that kind of harsh taxation and miscellaneous taxes?" ”

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes in his heart: Could it be that you don't count 13 in your heart?

Although his heart was like turbulent waves, he was now fledgling and was not ready to offend Chen Jin.

When it came to this, he could only smile bitterly, nodded obediently and agreed: "I will watch this matter, and mention it to Ji Yunzhang when the time comes." ”

"But let's say it first, Ji Yunzhang is a stubborn bone, and it may not be necessary if he agrees or not."

Xiao Chen was telling the truth.

If Ji Yunzhang was not a good person, he would not recommend him to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

But this answer doesn't seem to be satisfactory.

Chen Jin's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were like a cold pool: "Lord Xiao, you also have the status of the judge of the Taixue Prison Academy, and he was recommended by you, you can be regarded as kind to him as the deep sea." ”

"If you can't even show up in person, you really have to think about it."

He looked at Xiao Chen with cold eyes, and speculated slightly: "Whether you do your best or don't want to work hard, it's really hard to figure out." ”

This dead eunuch.

Xiao Chen's heart ignited a nameless fire, and he really wanted to put on a sack and beat this thing hard.

But in the end, all the anger turned into only one thought: endure the calm for a while!

He hurriedly put on a slightly flattering smile and teased: "Gonggong Chen is really joking, how can there be no reason to do things for you?" ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, this matter is on me!"

Hearing him say this, Chen Jin hooked the corners of his mouth proudly.

This person, it's really not good if he doesn't move the real character, and he is also polite as if he was sincere: "Since this is the case, then there is the Lord of Lao Xiao." ”

"If it's okay, you can go back first."

He turned his head and sat down in his seat again, opening the box that had filled the title deed before, and his face was full of joy.

Chen Xiaochen also bowed slightly to retreat, and the moment he turned around, his face suddenly darkened, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

At this time, my heart was turbulent, and I had already greeted all the eighteen generations of Chen Jin's ancestors one by one!

No, can this kind of lack of things be passed down to the eighteenth generation by the ancestors?

He walked as fast as the wind under his feet, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the Ministry of Rites.

Ji Yunzhang sat on the main seat, surrounded by other officials of the Ministry of Rites, one by one, hanging their heads and writing hard, looking quite busy.
