"I haven't congratulated Zhou Gongzi in person for winning Tanhualang, I really shouldn't have deceived him in the past, but I want to ask Tanhualang to forgive me."

In the spring palace test, Zhou Yunxi is Li Yan's hand-picked Tanhualang, the seventeen-year-old Tanhualang, who was in the limelight in the capital for a while, and he heard that Zhou Yunxi resigned from the Hanlin Academy in person, and invited himself to go out to the local experience, Li Yan was quite appreciative of this, and he was not qualified enough to report at the end of the year, but he was favored to return to Beijing.

When they arrived at the house, hot tea was served, and only then did the people in this room understand the origin of Yan Yunzhou and this new science exploration flower:

"Come to think of it, You'an is angry, but he didn't waste the prince's two hundred taels of silver."

The people in this room are not too high-level, and many of them are not qualified to invite Yan Yunzhou even if they are half of the reading banquet, they are all respectful and afraid of this first-class prince, and they are a little restrained, and they leave after a while, Zhou Yunxi still paused when he left:

"Lord, can I still go to the mansion to thank you in the future?"

After arriving in the capital, he actually inquired about Yan Ju, but there was no result, he thought that Yan Ju was not from the capital, but he didn't want him to be Prince Yan, he was sincerely grateful in the past, and naturally in the future, he was not afraid that others would say that he befriended the powerful, but he was afraid that Yan Yunzhou would not like it in his heart.

"It's okay, could it be that if you change your identity, Tanhualang won't know me?"

Zhou Yunxi bowed, relieved, and then said goodbye.

Yan Yunzhou greeted Meng Luoshu for a while before he spoke:

"Master Meng thought about it, and it was strange that the two of us came suddenly, so I asked bluntly, has your youngest daughter ever agreed to marry someone?"

Meng Luoshu was stunned:

"The prince is talking about the little girl Tong Dong'er?"

"Yes, it's Miss Tong Dong'er."

Although Meng Luoshu had just arrived in the capital, he also knew about the official canonization of the prince of the Yanwang Mansion, and he also knew Yan Xincheng when he was young, and Yan Yunzhou came here today to ask about his daughter, and it is natural that this is for whom he asked.

"Gao Tang likes Tong Dong'er the most, so I kept the child for an extra year, and I haven't discussed marriage yet."

The corners of Ning Yao's mouth couldn't help but hook, and he secretly sighed that kid was really fateful, he looked at Yan Yunzhou, and Yan Yunzhou also smiled:

"Lord Meng, our two families used to be neighbors, you also saw Cheng'er when she was a child, and now the two children are of the right age, my prince of Prince Yan's mansion sincerely asks to marry a noble girl, if the adult is interested, I will prepare a generous gift, come to the door to propose, and never insult Miss Meng."

Meng Luoshu didn't expect Yan Yunzhou to be so simple, he heard that the prince of Prince Yan's mansion recently has the intention of discussing relatives, the powerful in this capital are like clouds, Prince Yan's title is hereditary, and the princess is tomorrow's princess of Zhengyipin, I don't know how many nobles are staring at this position, how should it not fall on his own head.

"Lord, with all due respect, the status of the prince is precious, and the little girl may insult the prince."

Yan Yunzhou guessed that he would have this question:

"Lord Meng, as you can see, today's palace is also considered to be at the peak of the family, this king does not intend to marry again, this is one, second, Cheng'er is the son of Prince Yan's mansion, but also the nephew of this king, my Yan family has been very dedicated to love for several generations, I want my nephew to live a happy life, marry a woman he likes, and live a lifetime."

Yan Yunzhou's words really made Meng Luoshu have to be moved, pay attention to the family, this dynasty is a withered clan, and it may not be as valuable as the son of the Yanwang Mansion, and in terms of the parents' hearts, who wants their daughter to find a son-in-law who lingers in the flowers, he doesn't know anything else, but he has also been a neighbor with the Yanwang Mansion for those years in the past, and he knows in his heart the strictness of the Yan family's governance.

Although the last time I saw Yan Xincheng was when the child was young, but if Yan Yunzhou was to discipline him, the child should not be wrong.

Coming out of the Meng family, Ning Qi's smile never went down, and Yan Yunzhou looked at him sideways:

"Laughing like this, I don't know if you think you're going to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Ning Yi leaned lazily on the carriage:

"Didn't you see Cheng'er's nervous, expectant and nervous eyes when we went out today, this kid seems to really like the young lady of the Meng family, we bet, your nephew must be waiting at the gate at the moment."

Yan Yunzhou snorted:

"That's it."

"Hey, I'm still laughing at your nephew, and you're not much better."

Ning Yi smiled and spoke, still feeling a little emotionally in his heart, this Yan family is really very affectionate.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the two people inside heard the sound of footsteps rushing down the stairs outside, and Ning Yi looked at Yan Yunzhou with a look of "Look, what am I talking about".

Before the door of the carriage could be pushed open from the inside, it was opened by Yan Xincheng from the outside, and Yan Yunzhou flicked his nephew's head head-on:

"Look at your prowess, let me stand below."

Yan Xincheng slipped down and stood, when Yan Yunzhou came down, he also helped his elbow with great discernment, Ning Zhi watched from behind but smiled silently, but the two of them were silent as if they had made an appointment, and Yan Xincheng scratched his heart and lungs, and followed behind the two of them step by step:

"Second uncle, second uncle, tell me quickly, what do you mean by Master Meng? Can Tong Dong'er be married? ”

It wasn't until the main hall invited Cheng Qingqian over that Yan Yunzhou spoke:

"Sister-in-law, the little daughter of Lord Meng's family is indeed not allowed to marry others, today I also handed out the words of intent to propose, Lord Meng did not refuse, it seems that we are really going to prepare a dowry and come to the door to propose."

After saying this, Yan Xincheng's eyes lit up, and Cheng Qingqian's face also had a smile, she was also worried after Yan Yunzhou asked her son's thoughts that day, she was afraid that the girl of the Meng family had already agreed to marry, after all, Tong Dong'er was only one year younger than Cheng'er.

Now the situation is really not better.

The next few days were busy with Cheng Qingqian, Ning Qi and Yan Yunzhou were idle, after all, they really didn't know the amount of dowry in the capital, and the eldest lady in the palace had always been in charge, and they didn't get involved.

The court has already begun to take a break for the New Year, Ning Qi rarely even needs to go to the national prison, he is with Yan Yunzhou when he has nothing to do, he is reluctant to go out in winter, he is full of lazy bones, but Yan Yunzhou can't stay in the house after his body has improved a lot.

In the morning, I always have to go to the yard to practice the gun, the time is not long, pay attention to keeping warm, rather than stop him, the spear rolls up the wind and snow, the long hair of the ink flies in the wind with the neat movements, the person in the tunic does not have a fancy action, the marksmanship is wide open and closed, with a chilling war spirit, and in a trance, outside the window is still the general Yan who protects the northern border of the beam with one hand.

Ning Qi asked someone to open the window, and the whole person was wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis sitting on the bed with the quilt, looking through the window at the people practicing guns outside the window.

Occasionally, when the man's eyes came, he would stretch out a hand from the quilt and shake it with him, and he could see the cold general on his face, and there was a touch of warmth in his eyes.

In a quarter of an hour, Yan Yunzhou would enter the house, and the waiter would serve him to change out of some sweat-soaked clothes, so as not to catch the cold, and he would always go to hug the people on the couch after completely dissipating the cold on his body in front of the copper furnace:

"What's the lazy bones? Are you not tired of panicking in the room every day? ”

Ning Ji squinted his eyes and leaned on Yan Yunzhou, who had changed his clothes, and found a comfortable position in his arms like a nest:

"You said that I used to be born and died, and I never felt lazy, Maodong is such a comfortable thing, I don't get tired of panicking, I like this salted fish days where you don't have to think about anything, don't worry."

Counting it carefully, since he arrived at this place, he was either physically tired or mentally tired, even if the war was won, Yan Yunzhou's body was a big stone pressing on him, and now that the stone had been removed, he should have enjoyed this rare salted fish time for a few days.

Chapter 153: End of text

Ning Qi likes to eat hot pot in modern times, and when he arrives here, the meat slices that come up like raw meat are regarded as crude food, and there is naturally no such thing in the mansion of dignitaries and dignitaries, and it was just in the past, but today's palace is not Ning Qi who eats whatever he says?

At dinner, a copper pot was sent up, now it is winter, there is no need to make ice at all, this outside is the natural refrigerator, the newly caught sheep, cut into thin slices after freezing, not to mention how delicious, the house is full of moisture, Ning Yi casually put on a dress and sat in the hall, is using long chopsticks to put meat into the pot.

"It's best to eat this in winter, this mutton is fresh, and you can use this meat to make a soup to drink in a while."

Yan Yunzhou now follows his preferences, but he likes to make shabu-shabu with him in the house, and the two chatted while eating:

"I'm finally done with this proposal."

Ning Ji smiled:

"The biggest thing this year ago is that it was done, this proposal at the end of this year, and the marriage will have to be made next spring, so the official marriage will not be the year after?"

Yan Yunzhou nodded:

"Well, Lord Meng wants to keep his daughter for one more year, but I think it's better to get married later, and next year it's time to send Cheng'er to the army to have a look, it's only right to start a family first."

Ning is guilty of agreeing with this point of view, in his opinion, Yan Xincheng is still a hairy child at this age, how do he know how to be a husband? You still have to exercise first.

"We all marry late and have children later, and when we first come to you, we are really not used to it, and we always think that they are minors."

Yan Yunzhou poured him some warm soju, and suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, when I saw Luo Yueli from him that day, I told me about His Majesty's intention to reform the tax, and what kind of medical insurance you talked about before may be partially realized."

Ning Blame suddenly raised his head:

"Really? Didn't you say last time that this would be difficult to implement? ”

Yan Yunzhou sandwiched a piece of mutton and nodded, after Ning Ji told him about this last time, he found an opportunity to talk to Li Yan, this matter is not in a hurry, and it is just an idea.

"It is indeed very difficult, according to the previous tax system, the tax burden of the peasants has been very large, plus I am afraid that a point will be overwhelmed, Your Majesty decided to tax reform, the land of the entire Liang is a beginning, and now a year has passed, except for a few counties and towns, the clearance has basically been completed."

Ning Qi looked up when he heard this:

"Your Majesty should have collected a lot of land this year, right? But will this land be eaten again in the end? ”

After all, in the past, when the capital was clear, the Beijing officials alone circled more than I don't know how much land, this time if it was Qingzhang the whole country, the extra land can be imagined, but how long can this gust of wind blow? To put it bluntly, the land that spit out still has to be handed over to officials at all levels, will there be a situation where the front foot spits out and the back foot eats it again?

"Qingzhang is only the first step, the next step is to change the tax system, officials at all levels, how much land in the clan can be exempted from taxation is a number, the rest of the land must be registered, the rest of the land is cut into small pieces, distributed according to the head, in the future, the tax and the land are tied together, there is no tax for those who do not have land under their name, for the male farmers of the peasant households, the land tax can be used to offset the labor, so that the labor of the peasant households at the bottom can also be loosened."

Ning Yi listened while eating:

"So Your Majesty wants to add the tax on this part of the medical insurance directly to the land?"

"That's right, when it is levied in this way, it is a combined collection, which relieves some people of resistance to taxation, and the small piece of land divided according to the head is enough for the peasant family to live, and the discharged men can also do some other labor."

Ning Ji held his chin and looked at the people around him:

"Is it so easy to divide this land? Isn't this tantamount to snatching food from the mouths of the gate lords and gentry everywhere? ”

Yan Yunzhou's eyes were slightly sharp:

"Whether it is the court or the world, the sword and the silver are in whose hands they will say, in the past, only a small part of the local taxes were paid, and most of the taxes were fattened by the local officials, and most of the local taxes after the tax reform had to be handed over to the imperial court, even if there were many difficulties, it was important to those officials who were important to the life and silver."

Ning Zhi agrees with this, this is indeed a good opportunity for reform, everyone in the world knows how Li Yan's world was obtained, and the real sword and gun are more convincing than all the holy decrees, whether it is the ministers of the court or the local officials, no one will think that an emperor who wades through the blood will be a soft persimmon.

"As long as a stone falls on the calm lake, everyone will feel that the stone stirs the calm water surface, if it is a turbulent river, no matter how many stones are thrown, no one will feel that it has much impact on the water surface, Your Majesty is still young, it is the most courageous time, Your Majesty ascends the throne, the northern army, the southern army is in your hands, no one can turn over the wind and waves, and it is indeed the most suitable to take advantage of this time."

Yan Yunzhou picked up his wine glass, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes was clear:

"That's exactly what happened."

Ning Yi also raised his glass, and the cups of the two collided slightly, and Gu was clear.

"If this move can really be done, your work will be inevitable after this."

Ning Qi drank a glass of wine and waved his hand quite heroically:

"If this thing can really be done, no matter how hard and tired I am, I will admit it."

After chatting for a long time today, the charcoal fire in the pot has weakened, but the wine on this table is on one jar after another, Ning blame did not drink less, and then simply replaced the wine cup in his hand with a wine jug, the pot in the house was already hot, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was shaking the wine jug in his hand, and his expression was a little drunk:

"You say, in modern times, I can just pick up a scalpel to save people, if it is really here to save some poor people from illness, then how much virtue do I have to accumulate? This can be ranked in the immortal class after death, right? ”

Yan Yunzhou glanced at him with disgust:

"Don't be out of your mouth."

Ning Yi laughed happily:

"Why didn't I get covered? Do you know what I was thinking when I first went to the barracks? I feel like God has arranged for me to come here to Pudu sentient beings. ”

Yan Yunzhou lowered his eyes slightly, and the emotion in his eyes was also very deep:

"Worthy of the universal sentient beings."

Now the army has set up a military medical department, and the army has followed the system left by Ning in the past, and the light and serious wounded soldiers are divided and treated, and the beds are divided into each wounded soldier.
