Chapter 133: Spread into acres
Wen Chen looked at the eldest grandson outside the door and was overjoyed, he didn't notice that someone had tripped under his feet, kicked the old man's leg, and instantly lost his balance and flew out!
Fortunately, his skills have not degraded over the years, although Wen Chen was a little caught off guard, he immediately came back to his senses to adjust the angle, found a balance before landing with both hands on the ground, and turned his head and landed steadily with skill!
"Huh?"
The old man let out a surprise that no one else could hear, and slowly retracted his legs.
Wen Chen frowned and turned back, when he saw that there was a blind man sitting at the door, he sighed slightly, and did not pursue it, but hurriedly grabbed the eldest grandson's unruly arm and ran wildly, no matter how Xuanyang scolded behind him, he didn't stop.
"Dog minion, you have the ability to come back to see this palace for the rest of your life!"
"Lord Wen, what's wrong with the county lord?" The eldest grandson asked breathlessly.
"Menopause, like an insurmountable gap, interferes with women's lives!"
It wasn't until they couldn't hear Xuanyang's voice that the two stopped, and casually found a roadside tea stall and ordered a pot of herbal tea.
"What about Lingzun? Why didn't you come? Wen Chen poured a large bowl of tea and poured it into his stomach.
The eldest grandson patted his head unrestrained, a little helpless, "Since my father came out of the yamen prison last night, he has been locking himself in the house, and no one ......has seen him."
Wen Chen touched his lips, "It seems that being tossed this time is a bit rewarding!" ”
"Let Lord Wen laugh!" The eldest grandson arched his hand unrestrainedly, "The kid still owes a lot of thanks to Lord Wen for avoiding the catastrophe for my eldest grandson's family that night, if it weren't for Lord Wen's cleverness, my father's reputation in this life would have been ruined in the hands of Xue Ding!" ”
It wasn't until their family of three and their subordinates were put in prison that the eldest grandson Wujian came back to his senses, and the guest Wen Chen said before leaving turned out to be Yuan Qingshan!
Wen Chen waved his hand casually, "It's a trivial matter, compared to the eldest grandson, this official is looking forward to the unruly son!" ”
The eldest grandson Wujian was a little surprised, "How can the kid He De make Lord Wen so concerned?!" ”
"The uninhibited son doesn't have to be presumptuous, the question that the official left for the uninhibited son before leaving that day, I don't know if Your Excellency has figured it out?"
The eldest grandson nodded heavily, "The kid was instructed by Lord Wen, and he had a lot of ideas in prison yesterday, and he came to Lord Wen today to discuss tax fraud!" ”
"Tell me about it!" Wen Chen smiled.
"As Lord Wen said, the only way to get Your Majesty to abolish Ding Fu and prevent local officials from seeking personal interests from this is to let Your Majesty get the same reward, otherwise even if Your Majesty has the intention to reduce the burden on the people, the civil and military officials will not agree to this idea!" The eldest grandson replied slowly.
"So the boy thinks that the burden on the poor people can be transferred to the merchant officials and landlords, and His Majesty can order new tax items to be added according to the assets in the name of the individual, and those who get more will pay more, and those who get less will pay less or not pay, and at the same time, the court will help those who have no house and no land, and encourage them to participate in production activities, so that the treasury can be enriched with taxes and silver, and the living conditions of the people can also be improved, and I will be able to harvest every year and be rich every year!"
Wen Chen bowed his head slightly and agreed, he may be a person who has received nine years of compulsory education under modern civilization to jump out of common sense and fight against injustice, but the eldest grandson is different, he grew up in a feudal family, and his father is an important minister of the court.
It is really rare for the eldest grandson to have such thinking!
"The reason is reasonable, but has the uninhibited son ever thought about who will measure the property of merchants, officials and landlords? Will there be collusion between the government and businessmen again in the future, and the situation of underpayment will be concealed? ”
"Hiss......" The eldest grandson rubbed his head hesitantly, "I haven't thought about this kid in this regard, and I ask Lord Wen for advice!" ”
Wen Chen smiled slightly, and said word by word, "Zhangdi is endowed, although Ding Tianding!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was a little silent, instantly lit up!
But before he could speak, an old exclamation came from behind him, "Wonderful! Spread into the acre, this plan is very good! ”
The two turned their heads in confusion, but saw an old blind man drinking tea at the table next to him, gently brushing his white beard and bowing his head in contemplation.
"Master Wen, why does this person look so familiar?"
Wen Chen raised his eyebrows, "Familiar?" Isn't this the old man who tripped me over the black foot just now?! ”
"Hey, old man, what are you doing with us?"
The old blind man chuckled, "This realm is not your family's, everyone can come, why can't the old man come?" ”
Hey! What a poor old hair!
Wen Chen frowned, patted the shoulders of the eldest grandson, and whispered, "This matter is silent for the time being, you go back and make an article on this matter in detail, and then refine the specific matters, this official will take it away before leaving, and he will present it to His Majesty when he returns to Shangjing City......"
The eldest grandson nodded heavily and whispered, "Lord Wen, don't worry, the kid will live up to his trust!" ”
The two were discussing, and the old blind man behind him spoke again, "Aren't you harming other people's children, this is a good strategy to spread the land into the mu, if it is handed in as an answer sheet in the spring of next year, you don't need to participate in the palace test, you can be selected by Your Majesty to be the top three, and now you hand it in, but you can't fall behind at all!" ”
Hey! You're an old man, and your ears are quite smart, aren't you?!
Wen Chen was so angry that his teeth itched, he was afraid that the content of his conversation with the eldest grandson would spread out, and the local merchants and landlords in Lucheng would be disgusted with the eldest grandson Tianlu, the thorn of the history, after getting the news, so as to disrupt his own deployment, I didn't expect this old man to say it so loudly!
On the side, the eldest grandson stood up uninhibitedly but violently, stared at the old blind man with a serious face and said, "Fame and fortune are fleeting, Lord Wen does not hesitate to teach this plan to the subordinates, how can the subordinates be greedy for merit and let the people of the world suffer for half a year?!" ”
"Lord Wen, boy, do as you instruct!"
With that, he bowed deeply to Wen Chen and turned to leave.
Wen Chen's eyes narrowed, and he strode to the old blind man's table and sat down.
"Old Zamao, I warn you, if you dare to tell what you just heard, don't blame the young master, I'm ruthless......"
"Yo-he!" The old blind man snorted, "Then this uncle might as well kill the old man now, the old man's mouth is not strict, maybe he will shake out the uncle's secret when he falls asleep and talks in his sleep!" ”
Wen Chen clenched his fists and lightly hammered the tabletop, a little angered by this old miscellaneous hair, "Old miscellaneous hair, I'm not joking with you......"
"The old man is not joking!" The old blind man cocked his legs and knocked his pipe on the sole of his shoe.
The provocation is obvious!
Wen Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, turned his head to beckon the owner of the tea stall, took out four copper coins and handed them over, "The tea money for these two tables!" ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
"It's good to do it yourself." Wen Chen patted the old man's shoulder lightly, got up and walked in the direction of the inn.
The old blind man raised his eyebrows, took off the black cloth in front of him, looked at Wen Chen's distant back suspiciously, and nodded lightly.
"The damn doll begs for the sky, and the damn doll lives year after year......"
After saying that, he laughed inexplicably, got up and followed.
