Chapter 141: The Old Party Also Has to Change the Law

Inside the Ryū house!

Lu Dafang was irritable, the official family wanted him to take the initiative to agree to the apportionment of the mu, and the old party wanted him to take the lead in opposing the apportionment of the mu, so he was caught in the middle of a dilemma.

"Master Qiqi, Fan Taicheng is visiting?" Suddenly, the porter came to report.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng?" Lu Dafang's heart moved, the imperial doctor was an official who lived in the sixth grade, and if he was a sixth-grade official in normal times, he would not be able to enter his mansion at all.

However, Fan Zheng is not an ordinary imperial doctor, but a doctor Bian Que who controls the medical family, and he is also a celebrity around the official family, coupled with his identity after the first generation of law change leader Fan Zhongyan, even Lu Dafang can't ignore him.

"Hurry up, please!" Lu Dafang got up and said.

Soon, Fan Zheng strode over, saw Lu Dafang and said: "The official family saw that Lu Xianggong's eyes were bloodshot recently, and his expression was haggard, and he knew that Lord Lu was overworking for the country, so he specially ordered Fan to come to treat him!" ”

Lu Dafang cooperated: "It is quite an honor for the old man to be able to get the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng. ”

At that moment, Lu Dafang stretched out his hand and asked Fan Zheng to diagnose his pulse, Fan Zheng did not pretend, but seriously diagnosed and treated Lu Dafang, nodded slightly: "Although Lord Lu has geriatric diseases, it is not a big problem, just need to recuperate!" It's just that from Fan's point of view, Lord Lu's recent haggard should be due to heart disease. ”

Lu Dafang raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! I don't know what kind of heart disease the old man suffers from? ”

Fan Zheng said confidently: "Spread out into the mu!" ”

Lu Dafang's face twitched, and he was silent, he naturally knew that Fan Zheng's visit to see a doctor was fake, and it was true to be a lobbyist for the official family.

Fan Zheng continued: "Lu Xianggong is the elite of the world, how can he not understand that once the apportionment is in the mu, the court no longer has to worry about paying taxes, and the people will also reduce their burden and put an end to the harm of the new law. ”

Lu Dafang was silent, he naturally knew the power of the apportionment into the mu, but this law is good for the court and the people, but it is not good for the officials and landlords.

"Then according to what Fan Taicheng said, how should the old man's heart disease be cured?" Lu Dafang asked.

Fan Zheng said confidently: "What Lu Dafang is worried about is nothing more than the resentment of the hundred officials and the instability of the court!" Since this is the case, then all officials do not have to pay taxes, and all officials are exempted from taxes ranging from 100 mu to 1,000 mu according to their grades. ”

"Grade-based tax reduction?" Lu Dafang's heart moved, he knew that the official family's desire to change the law was urgent, and the apportionment into the mu must be implemented, but it was the hundred officials who carried out the apportionment into the mu, and it was also the hundred officials who suffered the loss of the interests of the apportionment, how could the hundred officials be willing to cut the flesh on themselves.

Now the official family has taken a step back and let the officials reduce taxes according to their grades, he also has steps to go down, and the officials have greatly reduced their complaints, as for the landlords who have suffered a lot of land, as long as they are not officials at home, they naturally do not have much right to speak, and when they become officials, they enjoy their privileges, and naturally there are no complaints.

"Wonderful! This prescription is very wonderful, as soon as this prescription comes out, the old man's heart disease medicine will be eliminated. Lu Dafang said happily, in this way, he can not only obey the will of the official family, agree to the apportionment of the mu, but also give an explanation to the old party officials.

"In this way, then congratulate Lu Xiang in advance." Fan Zheng arched his hand.

Lu Dafang looked at Fan Zhengdao with emotion: "Fan Taicheng medicine is eliminated, and Fan Xianggong has a successor!" ”

Lu Dafang's words seem contradictory, but in fact, he is full of emotion, who would have thought that Fan Zhongyan's grandson would actually use medicine to prove that this time, the law of serving in the mu and sixty Zhishi has the shadow of a doctor.

"Since Lu Xianggong's heart disease has gone, Fan will not bother." At that moment, Fan Zheng saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately said goodbye.

After Fan Zheng left!

Lu Dafang immediately summoned his confidant Yang Wei to discuss the matter.

"Tax exemption for 100 to 1,000 acres!" Yang Wei frowned, his imperial history was only an official rank of the fifth grade, and he was exempted from taxes according to his grade, at most a few hundred acres of taxes were exempted, and their family's land was more than that.

"Not bad! This is something that the old man finally won in front of the official family. Lu Dafang unceremoniously took the credit for himself.

"But I'm afraid that some of the officials in Tianduo will still be dissatisfied?" Yang Wei tried his best to fight.

Lu Dafang reprimanded: "Dissatisfied? How can we and other scholars only think about their own selfish interests, when the doctors were exempted from military service, you and others were impeached one after another, and now the imperial court has given you privileges and exemptions, and you are not satisfied, if everyone does not want to pay taxes, then how can the court operate! ”

He is about to become prime minister, so naturally he does not want to have no money in his hands, and it is also beneficial for him to share his labor into the mu.

Yang Wei nodded helplessly, and then passed the news to the old party.

Most of the old party officials accepted this plan in their hearts, not all officials were 10,000 acres of fertile land, and Fan Zhongyan had already made all his fortune when he bought 1,000 acres of fertile land in his hometown.

Excluding the taxes reduced by the imperial court, the taxes paid by their families are not much, of course, some of the officials who are extremely rich in the family are dissatisfied, but they are a minority after all, and they can no longer set off storms.

Next.

Lv Dafang personally agreed with the imperial court to implement the apportionment of the mu into the mu, and at the same time the court gave the scholars preferential treatment, the first-grade officials were exempt from tax of 1,000 mu, and so on, the minimum of the ninth grade officials was exempt from tax of 200 mu, the lifting of people was exempt from tax of 100 mu, and the tax exemption of Xiucai was 500 mu.

"Officials can't! The first thing in the court is fairness, and the scholars are the model of the people in the world, so how can they take the lead in tax exemption. Wang Di frowned, and took the initiative to object, when his grandfather Wang Anshi implemented the new law, everyone in the world was treated equally, and there was an exception for how to implement the apportionment into the mu.

Other officials of the New Party also expressed their opposition, not because they did not have land at home, but because the New Party would certainly oppose what the old party approved.

"Lord Lu is an old man who holds the country, and hundreds of officials serve the imperial court, how can he be an errand and pay for food!"

Zhao Xu once again overcame public opinion and agreed to Lu Dafang's performance.

"Enlighten the official family, Prime Minister Fan has been resigned for many days, and the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee have no leader, and the official family is requested to set the position of prime minister as soon as possible." Yushi Yang Wei took the opportunity to play.

Hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty echoed one after another!

"You Aiqing have a candidate!" Zhao Xu asked knowingly.

"Weichen recommends Master Lu!" Yushi Yang Wei couldn't wait.

The old party officials came up one after another to recommend Lu Dafang.

"The ministers recommend Lord Zhang!" Wang Di was also not to be outdone.

The New Party unanimously recommended Zhang, but there was a huge gap in numbers.

Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning when he saw the strength of the new party and the old party, but he still followed his previous promise and finally looked at Lu Dafang.

"Lu Aiqing, dedicated to the country, sticking to the ancestral law, making great contributions to my pro-government, specially entitled the Pingzhang political affairs under the Tongzhongshu Sect, and commanding hundreds of officials!" Zhao Xu said solemnly.

"Obey the order!"

Lu Dafang's heart fluttered, he had been an official all his life, and finally got the position of prime minister of a very popular minister.

The New Party officials could not help but hang their heads.

"Zhang Aiqing, determined to innovate, implement the new law, and specially appointed as the left servant of Shangshu and the governor of political affairs." Zhao Xu said again.

Zhang Xuan Huo Ran raised his head with a look of surprise, you must know that when Wang Anshi changed the law, his position was to participate in political affairs, although Zhao Xu did not let him serve as the prime minister, but gave him a position that was more suitable for him than the prime minister.

"Command!" Zhang Dan said solemnly.

The New Party was immediately shaken, and the official family appointed Zhang Dian as the governor of the government, and this was not a sign of his determination to change the law to the world.

At the same time, Shangshu's right servant shot Su Zhe's position unchanged, and above the court, the law was changed, conservative, and neutral, and the three factions were once again three-legged.
