"That's right! Eight people on your list, I've been following!

Among them, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing and Kou Baimen, I did find it!

At this moment, they are in the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion! ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't hide it, and stared straight at Wang Li: "If I'm not mistaken, the other four little babies who didn't find it should also be prostitutes, right?"

Will these eight girls all be famous in Qin Huai?

I also want to know, why do you know the prophet? ”

"Because, I can break words, I can divination!"

Wang Li pretended to be calm, and Yun smiled lightly: "Father-in-law Wei, you are really capable!"

I've done a lot of calculations, but I missed you!

It's up to you to find three of them!

Admire, admire! ”

"Really?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled indifferently, not satisfied with Wang Li's "divination" theory.

However, Wang Li couldn't care about it so much, and couldn't wait to ask, "You are hiding Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing, and Kou Baimen in the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion, can you let me see them?" ”

"No problem, no problem! Please, please! ”

Wei Zhongxian agreed, and diligently led Wang Li to take a small boat to the Tianxian Pavilion on the other side.

Among the three girls, the eldest is Gu Hengbo, who is now thirteen years old!

Zhuang Yan is beautiful and elegant, full of peach blossoms, bright eyes and bright teeth, and hair like waterfalls.

You don't have to wait until seventeen or eighteen, you're already a stunning beauty!

In terms of temperament, it is completely different from Liu Ruyi's gentle and lovely!

Although he is staring at the painting, there is a hint of boldness and uninhibited between his eyebrows!

To Wang Li's surprise, she ......

I wrapped my little feet!

The bow is small!

The standard three-inch golden lotus of this era!

Bian Yujing, now 9 years old;

his sister Bian Sai, now seven years old;

The two sisters were born in the family of the eunuchs, and were bought by Wei Zhongxian from the Goolan in Suzhou due to the early death of their parents;

It is said that the two sisters have a very high level of understanding!

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and rhythm, one point is thorough!

At this moment, the two sisters are following the prostitutes in the courtyard, learning painting skills!

Kou Baimen, now eight years old, was born in the Nandu Teaching Workshop Division, and was slightly operated by Wei Zhongxian and transferred to Tianxian Pavilion.

may be too young, or humble and cowardly in character, and never dare to look up to show others.

However, like the Bian sisters, she is a standard beauty embryo, which is rare in the world!

Alas!

Unexpectedly, the carelessness of the moment let Wei Zhongxian take the lead!

With his cunning and cunning, if he wants to buy these three people from his hands, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!

"Grandpa Wei, it is indeed your ability to find these three people!

If my divination is correct, you will train them well, and they will become great in the future! I can't lose you at all! ”

Wang Li swore an oath, but Wei Zhongxian cried with a sad face!

"Alas! I just hope that your divination is not wrong! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian shook his head and sighed: "Princess, my divination, I'm still not at ease!"

Especially that Gu Hengbo!

She's thirteen years old, but she can only play the piano!

In terms of calligraphy and painting, she does have a high level of understanding!

But...... Her voice ...... It's not suitable for singing! ”

Wei Zhongxian's face was full of contempt, Wang Li wanted to open his mouth to buy it, but he was worried that Wei Zhongxian was cheating!

No way!

When dealing with Wei Zhongxian, you must be careful!

"Father-in-law Wei, ordinary women will go through a process of changing their voices at the age of thirteen or fourteen!

You'd better wait patiently!

Perhaps, after she changes her voice, her voice will be suitable for singing? ”

"Well, I hope so!"

Wei Zhongxian still shook his head!

He had heard Liu Ruye's singing voice, and when he looked back at the courtesans of Tianxian Pavilion, they all became crows!

Wang Li was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it!

He knew that Gu Hengbo could be among the "Eight Uniques of Qin Huai" by relying on poetry, calligraphy and painting, not singing!

When Wei Zhongxian really dislikes her useless, it's time to make a move!

Gu Hengbo!

Alas, small feet are small feet!

Maybe it's something else?

……

went west to Shuzhong, and Wang based himself on the preparation for a month!

During this time, the West Factory Jinyiwei carpet search for a month!

However, no trace of the remaining four was found!

Let's just let it be!

If it was so easy to find, would Wei Zhongxian still keep it for himself?

During his stay in Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen euphemistically urged several times!

That's it, that's it!

Although the Qinhuai River is beautiful, it is not the time to enjoy it!

It's important to make money!

It is even more important to prepare your own retreat and nest!

If you just want to make a little money in Sichuan, it's actually very easy!

No one has to be offended!

But on the contrary, Wang Li wants to do a big vote!

Seeing the information sent by Wei Zhongxian, he was silent in an instant!

Speechless!

Completely speechless!

Taking Chengdu Prefecture as an example, it has 32 counties under its jurisdiction, with a registered population of 230 li (about 180,000 people), and the number of registered land is 500,000 mu;

However, the land that really paid taxes to the imperial court was less than 100,000 acres!

The total amount of tax paid is less than 20,000 taels of silver!

My good boy!

About eighty percent of the land was registered in the names of the wealthy squires and royal clansmen!

The 400,000 acres of land in their names enjoy tax-free privileges!

What's even more exaggerated is that there are more than 1.5 million acres of land that are not registered!

This part of the land is also in the hands of the royal family!

Huh!

Chengdu Prefecture, 2 million acres of land, only 100,000 acres are paying taxes!

"The world raises pigs", it really is not covered!

Zhu Yuanzhang himself formulated the "pig raising" policy, so don't blame his children and grandchildren for taking advantage of loopholes!

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang's "pig raising" policy is the ultimate reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty!

In other words, it is the bane planted by Zhu Yuanzhang!

In order to pay less taxes, the people transferred all the land in their hands to the names of the royal family and the squire!

In the beginning, the people did taste the sweetness!

But they seem to forget that this is a typical agrarian society!

Land is the foundation of the survival of "households"!

The people have no land in their hands, but they have to survive and pay taxes!

You can't be within a mile of your hometown!

Then, you can only rent someone else's land!

The greed of the royal family and the gate lord squire is endless!

Around Chengdu Mansion, one acre of land, two seasons of grain harvest, the total amount is less than five stones!

Converted into silver, it is only two or five hundred dollars!

Two taels of silver, in the form of rent and taxes, went into the pockets of the royal family!

The imperial court can't collect taxes, so it can only increase taxes!

In this day and age, there is no network!

The movement of the people is limited to one mile!

They won't know that the person who makes them have no way to live is actually not Zhu Youzhen!

A few years ago, Zhu Youzhen was so poor that he was in underwear, but he also gritted his teeth and exempted several provinces from taxes!

However, the part that was exempted was only one hundred and eighty yuan levied by the imperial court!

Even this little bit of kindness is completely unknown to the people!

I can't enjoy it anymore!

At the local level, this tax is collected correctly!

Of course, if the imperial court increases a tax, the royal family and local officials will not pay out of their own pockets!

The money in their pockets will always come in and out!

Even if Huang Taiji and Li Zicheng hit the Jingshi, they would not donate a copper plate!

In Chengdu Prefecture, where drought and flood are guaranteed, although the people pay heavy taxes, they can barely fill their stomachs!

If you change to another place, then, you can only hehehe!

Therefore, in the minds of the people of the world, Zhu Youzhen is a "re-enlisted" emperor!

If you really can't survive, then you can only rebel!

Or, just "open the door to meet the king"!

After taking two mouthfuls of "Red Panda", Wang Li's eyes were slightly closed, and his mind kept thinking!

The two million acres of land in Chengdu Prefecture, the rent and taxes of two taels of silver per mu, if they go into their own pockets, it will be four million taels!

If all the twelve state capitals in Sichuan are like this, there will be at least more than 30 million yuan of income every year!

In the three years of Sichuan's "pilot reform", the income of this item alone is 100 million taels!

I'll it!

At this time, Sichuan is not a poor and remote country!

This Ming Dynasty is really rich in the people!

But......

How do you put this huge amount of money in your pocket?

The most important thing is that in the process of pocketing, the opposition of the royal family and local officials cannot be too fierce!

It would be best if you could get their support!

Otherwise, within three months, Zhu Youzhen's determination to change the law will surely be shaken!

Alas!

Troublesome!

Not your average trouble!

What if the land in the hands of the royal family is regarded as a stock?

So, how do you get them to give up their chips?

And let them be happy and take the initiative to give up their chips!

After a little thought, Wang Li had a general idea.

This letter of "prohibiting the abandonment of existing land" will be sent to Jingshi as soon as possible, please reply quickly! ”

Song Zhe took the book, but did not move his steps: "Factory father, it should be ...... There's no need for that, is it?

Long live the Lord didn't say that any new deal of "pilot law change", the factory can do it with the camera, and there is no need to play! ”

"Nope! This recital is very important! ”

Wang Li smiled mysteriously, his eyes unwavering: "Other new policies, maybe they don't have to play!"

However, this recital must be approved by the Lord of Long Live Lord! ”

Wang Li's attitude was resolute, so Song Zhe stopped persuading and immediately sent fast horses to fly to Beijing.

For Wang Li, the several new policies mentioned in the book are indeed very important, and they must be approved by Zhu Youzhen himself!

"It is forbidden to abandon any existing land!"

"If there is a violation, a fine of one hundred taels of silver per mu will be handed over to the state treasury!"

Zhu Youzhen will agree to these two suggestions!

However, most of the land in Chengdu Mansion, Sichuan, and even the whole country is in the hands of the royal family, and he doesn't know it!

Even if he knew, he would agree!

Because these two new policies play a pivotal role in stabilizing the country's food supply!

Even if it is sent to the cabinet for approval, these two new policies can be passed!

Because, these two new policies have no conflict with the interests of the royal family, the interests of civil and military officials, and the interests of rich squires!

To a large extent, it is also highly aligned with their interests!

However, the hidden mystery behind it, for a while, no one can understand it!

Twisting his neck, the corners of Wang Li's mouth revealed an imperceptible smile.

Picking up the pen, I wrote another letter.

"This letter will be handed over to Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible!

The efficiency of the east factory can be done in one month, and there should be no problem! ”

After taking the letter and reading a paragraph, Song Zhe's face changed greatly!

"Factory, do you want to ...... Borrow ten million taels of silver from him? Would he really agree? ”

"I'll go! A rough man is a rough man!

Even if you are literate, you are still a rough person!

Read the letter before you speak! ”

"Uh......"

Song Zhe was reprimanded and hurriedly took a closer look.

Indeed, Wei Zhongxian will definitely agree!

Because, while borrowing silver from him, another 10 million silver will be transported from Fujian to Nanjing!

This 10 million is just borrowed to turn around and buy time!

This batch of silver, if it is transported from Fujian to Sichuan, will take at least four or five months!

If it is shipped from Fujian to Nanjing, and at the same time a batch is shipped from Nanjing to Sichuan, it will only take two months by water!

With the intimate relationship between the East and West No. 2 Factory, Wang Li's reputation as a guarantee, and the promise of "exclusive authorization" of a few new songs, Wei Zhongxian has no reason to refuse!

At the same time as borrowing silver, Jinyiwei, the West Factory stationed in Nandu, is still preparing a batch of grain!

When the silver and grain are shipped to Chengdu, a "financial war" will be staged!
