Chapter 221: Race for the First (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the dim light of the sky on the eve of dawn, a raging fire ignited Mai's filial piety clothes......

Li Jincheng, who had not slept for two days and two nights, stood by the fire without saying a word, holding his father's spiritual seat, watching the tombstone slowly fall with empty eyes, sealing the tomb.

Yang Ge, Yang Tiansheng, and Xiang Wuving's brothers stood behind Li Jincheng, staring at each other.

In the end, it was Yang Ge who stepped forward, put his arm around Li Jincheng's shoulder, and broke his body in the direction of the road: "Let's go, there is still a big mess of things waiting for you to get at home." ”

Li Jincheng took one last look at the sealed tomb, took a deep breath of the cool morning air, and joked hoarsely: "You will comfort people." ”

Yang Ge pulled him back and said with a smile: "I don't say much good things, but I can't listen to them." ”

Yang Tiansheng and Xiang Wushu followed the two of them one after the other, and also said some dry words such as "The deceased is gone, you have to look away".

Li Jincheng silently let the three of them pull him and push him back, and after walking away, he suddenly said: "Brothers, I don't have a father." ”

The brother's footsteps sank, and he sighed low in his heart.

Just as Yang Ge and Yang Tiansheng were looking at each other, not knowing how to comfort this guy, Xiang Wuving, who was pushing Li Jincheng in the back, suddenly said in a sullen voice: "If you don't give up, you can worship a certain family as your father-in-law!" ”

Yang Ge and Yang Tiansheng turned their heads in shock and looked at this fierce general who was doing big things in a muffled voice.

Xiang Wushu spread his hands with an innocent face: "What he said himself, didn't I want to help him?" ”

Li Jincheng also laughed angrily, turned around and wrapped his arms around Xiang Wu's neck and shook it vigorously: "It's almost the same as you worship a certain family as your father-in-law." ”

Xiang Wushu let him shake, and then suddenly said: "Your marksmanship is not as good as mine." ”

Li Jincheng was stunned: "Huh? ”

Xiang Wuving: "My marksmanship is as good as your father's." ”

After speaking, he broke free of Li Jincheng's arm and rushed out with an arrow step.

Li Jincheng came back to his senses at this time, and a hungry tiger pounced on food and flew after him: "Dog thief, where to go!" ”

Yang Ge watched the two fly away, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily slowly provoked: "I used to see these two choking each other, and I was always worried that they would fight......"

Yang Tiansheng: "When I was in Dongying, I saw that these two goods were in trouble, but they had a tacit understanding on weekdays, one killed someone, and the other put aside the knife ......"

Yang Ge exhaled slowly: "Good thing! ”

The two of them walked back slowly along the road they came from, chatting with each other: "Your good things are coming, right?" ”

Yang Tiansheng: "Yes, I still remember the marriage of the master, come early when the time comes, I won't send you an invitation!" ”

"yes, I know."

Yang Ge: "Jincheng's side, you and Xiang Dashao are more attentive and help him keep an eye on the ......"

Yang Tiansheng: "What about you?" ”

Yang Ge: "The face they lost, he had to take it back by himself, he couldn't get it back, he couldn't get this threshold in his life, I was here with a pestle, it's not suitable." ”

Yang Tiansheng: "That's the same...... Okay, don't worry, the master and Xiang Dashao are close, and something will come quickly, if there is really a master who is not equal to the master and Xiang Dashao, it will not be too late to notify you to come and support! ”

Yang Ge smiled: "There are not many people you and Xiang Dashao can't beat together, right?" ”

Yang Tiansheng pondered for a few breaths and said: "The young master thinks that he should have the strength close to the Seven Heroes now, but he has not fought with the master of the level of the Seven Heroes, whether he can win or not, and the young master has no bottom in his heart." ”

Yang Ge thought for a while and said, "Except for Li Qing, that guy is not a little weaker than the peerless grandmaster, and the other masters of the Seven Male Ranks, even if you and Xiang Dashao can't beat it, you should be able to protect yourself." ”

Yang Tiansheng: "What about the top masters at the peerless grandmaster level?" ”

Yang Ge: "Can't understand people's words? You two can't even beat Li Qing at the moment, and you still want to fight against a peerless grandmaster-level master? ”

Yang Tiansheng: "Master must know how big the gap is, right?" ”

Yang Ge thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "This, I can't tell you clearly, the peerless grandmasters I have fought are all at the bottom of the peerless grandmasters, and they don't have much reference." ”

Yang Tiansheng: "I can't even tell you about it?" ”

"Probably ......"

Yang Ge thought for a while and replied: "Let's take the old eunuch Tong Ying on the Bianhe River in Huai'an as an example, if the two of you fight him, within thirty moves, the two of you estimate that there is still a chance to leave, and outside of thirty moves, there is no chance to leave." ”

Yang Tiansheng's face fell, and he said in disbelief: "Isn't it? The master thought that the master's current strength was almost the same as you were at that time! ”

Yang Ge looked at him deeply.

Yang Tiansheng was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a violent palpitation, but fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

Yang Ge retracted his gaze and nodded: "In terms of skill alone, you are indeed not much worse than I was at the time. ”

Yang Tiansheng: "Where's the difference?" ”

Yang Ge: "You don't have a sword in your heart!" ”

Yang Tiansheng: "What's that?" ”

Yang Ge shook his head: "Don't ask me, you can understand if you understand, if you don't understand, no matter how detailed I say, you don't understand!" ”

Yang Tiansheng opened his mouth and closed it again.

He had already touched the threshold of the true meaning of martial arts, so he knew that some things could indeed be understood if he could understand them, and he couldn't understand how to say them if he didn't understand them.

To be precise, listening and understanding is a matter of course based on a large amount of thinking, perception and experience.

And if you don't understand, it's a lack of those thoughts, perceptions and experiences.

It's like his eight swords flying together, and he has told his father about breaking and crumpling it no less than ten times.

But even if the martial arts of the two of them are in the same vein, his father still listens to his martial arts essence like listening to the book of heaven, not to mention the eight swords, not a single sword can't fly.

"Don't patronize the practice of martial arts on weekdays, martial arts are those things over and over again, you just practice 100,000 times, practice 1 million times, and it can't be practiced!"

Yang Ge thought about it, and then said: "If you have time, you can read more books, all the sons of the hundred schools, history books and biographies, you can take a look more, martial arts practice to the end, what you practice is actually not just a simple fighting technique, but the person itself, the person becomes stronger, the martial arts will naturally become stronger, on the contrary, if a person can't stand up, no matter how clever the martial arts are, they will be vulnerable after all......

"Think about it from another angle, Emperor Qin Gaozu and Laozi Kongqiu, which one is evergreen because of the personal force of the world?"

Yang Tiansheng understood the first half of the sentence, but Yang Tiansheng was a little confused in the second half of the sentence: "Can this be the same thing?" ”

Yang Ge smiled: "When you understand that this is actually the same thing, your martial arts will almost be done!" ”

Yang Tiansheng: "This... Is it so mysterious? ”

Yang Ge smiled but did not speak.

……

After noon, Yang Ge said goodbye to Li Jincheng, Yang Tiansheng, and Xiang Wushu and set off to return to Luting.

And in the Yuelai Inn, there have been people waiting for him for a long time.

"Lord Yang!"

Yang Ge walked into the inn with his front foot, and a familiar dark face greeted him and squeezed his palms.

Yang Ge stared at the visitor for two seconds before he suddenly remembered this person, and he said with a smile while wrapping the Cold Moon Treasure Knife wrapped in gray cloth behind the counter: "It's you, why didn't you go home for the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

The person who came was Xie Yu under the pseudonym Wang Dashi.

Wang Dashi waved his hand again: "This year, the affairs of the court and the central government are busy, and I have not had time to reunite with my sister, thank you Lord Yang for taking care of my sister." ”

"It's not about taking care of each other, that is, neighbors taking care of each other."

Yang Ge picked up Wang Dashi with one hand, and finally asked, "Something?" ”

Wang Dashi nodded: "There are some official affairs to discuss with Lord Yang." ”

Yang Ge looked at Zhao Ru, who greeted him with a smile on his face: "Are there any guests upstairs?" ”

Zhao Ru shook his head vigorously, and the ponytail behind his head also swayed from side to side: "No one." ”

Yang Ge stretched out his hand to hold her little head, and said with a smile: "Make me a pot of tea, I'm thirsty all the way!" ”

Zhao Ru responded, turned his head and ran towards the backyard like a gust of wind.

Yang Ge stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please to the staircase: "Let's go, say upstairs!" ”

Wang Dashi: "Lord Yang, please first!" ”

The two of them went upstairs one after the other, and as soon as they sat down, Wang Dashi got straight to the point and said: "Lord Yang, I came here to pay taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

As soon as Yang Ge heard this, he immediately remembered this matter: "The matter of the government and the people paying taxes and grain together? ”

Wang Dashi waved his hand: "Lord Yang has a good memory." ”

Yang Ge slowly wrinkled his brows: "I asked Shen Fa to bring a few words to Wang Zhongtang a few years ago, didn't that guy bring my words?" ”

Wang Dashi picked the corner of his lips, and hurriedly pressed it down: "But you asked Lord Zhongtang to say something about it?" ”

Yang Ge nodded: "Since that guy brought my words, why did Wang Zhongtang bring up the old matter so quickly?" ”

Wang Dashi said: "Back to Lord Yang, since Lord Yang mentioned the tax reform in the middle of last year, Lord Zhongtang began to lay out this matter, and it has been more than half a year, although the time is still not ripe...... But you also know that this kind of thing, how can everything be ready? People who don't want to pay taxes will never want to pay taxes, and how deep the water here is, you have to go down-to-earth to find out. ”

After hearing this, Yang Ge also felt that what he said made sense, but he still felt apprehensive.

As Shen Fa said, the current momentum of Great Wei is great!

Although there are still many unsatisfactory places in Jingping and Guotai and Min'an, they are generally getting better in the end, and the people's lives are also hopeful......

He was also afraid that the rampage would disrupt Da Wei's current momentum!

But if you don't dare to go under the knife for those chronic diseases in order not to disrupt the current momentum, there is a taste of choking and waste food.

Yang Ge thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until Zhao Ru sent two bowls of hot tea to retire that he spoke again: "Is there already a pilot in this matter?" ”

Wang Dashi: "So that Lord Yang knows, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich in the world, and the tax revenue of a province is comparable to several provinces, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the provinces with the most serious tax resistance in 14 provinces...... Half the effort! ”

Yang Ge stirred the tea bowl and groaned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I can help you with this matter, but the ugly words will come first...... If you borrow my signboard, you have to be fair and just! ”

"First, it is said that the government and the people pay taxes and grain together, then you must have the government and the people to pay taxes and pay food, if you are using my signboard to coax the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, stop it as soon as possible, you can't afford this consequence."

"Second, I have no opinion on starting the tax reform with Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a pilot, but you must have a bowl of water, don't raise the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and turn around the taxes of other provinces according to the old method, and I will not agree."

"Third, although it is a pilot of tax reform, I also hope that you can think carefully and think twice before acting, and you must not engage in taxes and cannibalism, and if I hear that you are forcing people to die or forcing people to sell their sons and daughters, I will also settle accounts with you."

"Fourth, the tax should be taken from the people, used for the people, to borrow my signboard, I have to know what you have done with the tax up, at least generally to know to me, don't collect the money up and down a penny, and go to the people when something happens...... Wouldn't I be an accomplice? ”

"If you can do it, I'll do it."

"If you can't do it, please excuse yourself."

After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, still thinking about whether there was anything to add.

After listening to this, Wang Dashi also pondered for a long time, and then he squeezed his palms and waved his hands and said: "This time, the taxation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is to personally go south to supervise, and I am willing to guarantee it with a head, and the officials and the people will treat them equally, fair and just, and there will never be taxes to eat people, but there is a difference, although Lord Yang is at the lower level, give an explanation to the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!" ”

"And after the pilot project in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, will the rest of the provinces implement the tax reform in accordance with it, please also believe in the determination of Lord Zhongtang and the imperial court, even the most difficult Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be implemented, and the rest of the provinces have no reason not to implement it!"

"As for the whereabouts of the taxes, I can only try to ask Lord Zhongtang for a better understanding of Lord Zhongtang, and Lord Zhongtang should not refuse this matter."

After listening to his assurance, Yang Ge exhaled lightly and said, "It's hard for you to do this job, but I still have to remind you to think clearly before answering, if this matter is on a business trip, I'm afraid that your head alone will not be enough, plus the head of your family, it may not be able to help anything." ”

Wang Dashi lowered his eyelids and was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Lord Yang thinks, why should I go incognito and run for Lord Zhongtang?" It can't be because I have the same surname as Lord Nakado, right? ”

He said vaguely, but Yang Ge understood it very clearly, and immediately put the tea bowl in his hand on the table: "Since you have this determination, then I will help you this time, please don't let me down, and don't let the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang down!" ”

Wang Dashi waved his hands excitedly and saluted: "Lord Yang is willing to appreciate his face, and he will never smear Lord Yang's golden signboard with thousands of knives and broken bones!" ”

Na, two more~
