Chapter 390: National Gift

"Sincerity?"

Hou Ji thought for a while and blurted out: "Give more dowry?" ”

Throughout the ages, marriage depends on whether the man is sincere to the woman, and the amount of the bride price is undoubtedly an important measure.

Giving a lot means that the man is sincere!

Giving less is another matter.

But Chen Chao stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "Murong Mansion is one of the richest families in Huainan City, and my mother-in-law and his father are also the governor of Huainan, which is equivalent to the emperor of Huainan, do you think Murong Mansion is short of money?" ”

Hou Ji shook his head.

There is definitely no shortage!

Therefore, the method of giving a bride price will not work, and no matter how much you give, it will not show sincerity.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Hou Ji said again:

"Then why don't you give General Murong a promotion, or give Murong Ting's title a little higher?"

"Promotions or titles for no reason, don't say I don't agree, even the princes won't agree."

However, Hou Ji's words reminded Chen Chao that all Murong Yue could rely on now was nothing more than two forces.

Herself and her mother's family!

Her mother, the Lu family, was worried that Chen Chao would not want Murong Yue in the future.

Therefore, Chen Chao might as well contribute to her Murong clan's power.

As long as her mother's family is strong, she is not afraid of her daughter being bullied outside.

But if you give Murong Chong or Murong Ting benefits for no reason, others will chew on the root of their tongues and gossip.

Pinching his chin, Chen Chao raised his head, looked at Hou Ji and suddenly asked, "My father-in-law Murong Hai, is he an official?" ”

Hou Ji shook his head and responded: "It's not an official." Xiangye, I have inquired clearly, although your father-in-law had a good family background when he was young, he actually didn't have any great skills, he didn't rank in the imperial examination, and he couldn't even do business, just because he was handsome, he was favored by your mother-in-law, and no one would say anything if he was a son-in-law. ”

After listening to Hou Ji's words, Chen Chao nodded, "Then it seems that you can only start from Yue'er's grandfather, that old man is a Zhizhou, an official is not big, and he has been a prince for more than ten years......"

"That's right, in fact, he had the opportunity to go to the capital, but he didn't go, and he died in Huainan to bless their Lu family."

Chen Chao thought about it carefully, suddenly noticed it in his heart, and snapped his fingers:

"Hou Ji, pen and ink are waiting."

Hou Ji quickly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and spread it out on the table in front of Chen Chao, but he was still a little puzzled: "Xiangye, what are you?" ”

Chen Chao picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and said with a smile: "Give that old man a chance to enjoy the Taimiao!" ”

"In this way, I think my mother-in-law should be grateful to me!"

Without a few words, Chen Chao began to write on the paper, starting with the first line:

"A whip!"

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have followed the law of conscription in the previous dynasties, with Lijia as the main backbone and households as the basic unit, and the households are divided into three classes and nine rules according to the amount of grain, which is used as the basis for compiling and levying errands. The implementation of this kind of forced labor system did make our land rights relatively stable in the early stage, but with the changes of time, especially in recent years, the forced labor tax system has been completely destroyed. ”

"Nowadays, the phenomenon of land annexation in our country is gradually intensifying, and more landlords are arrogant, colluding with the government, forcibly seizing peasant land, and using all feasible means to evade the corresponding taxes.

As a result, Xia Guan thought that he could start from the following aspects:

First, clear the land and expand the area of expropriation.

Note: In view of the current situation that the land occupied by a large number of land is increased and the tax is reduced, only by starting from the land can the land be equalized......

Second, unify the enlistment and limit harshness.

Note: The endowment will be attributed to the land, the mu will be levied, the forced labor will be changed to hired labor, and the government will hire people to serve on behalf of the government. Therefore, the disadvantages of the tax will be cleared up and the tax will tend to be stable......

Third, the silver is levied on the acre, and the official is closed.

Note: All the errand service was changed to silver errand, and the levy was handled by the chief and the chief of grain, and it was directly collected by the local officials, and the money was paid into the warehouse, so that the cost of transportation and storage was saved, and the collection and release were not handled by the armor protection personnel, which eliminated the disadvantages of eroding the distribution.....

……”

From late at night until the early morning of the next day, this influential essay was drawn under the pen of Chen Chao.

Hou Ji has been guarding his side, watching Chen Chao put down his pen, and watching Chen Chao scribble and change from time to time, frowning.

He didn't know why this strategy could make the old man who had been a governor of the state for more than ten years worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.

As far as Hou Ji knew, the Taimiao Temple was a special place of worship for the emperor's family!

Therefore, generally only the emperor's ancestors can enjoy this honor, and the general imperial relatives are not enough, they must be close relatives or imperial relatives who have contributed to the country.

If the courtiers want to put the tablet in the Taimiao, they must make a great contribution to Sheji, and after the death of these courtiers, they will be buried with the gift of the king of the county.

A policy essay?

Is it enough?

Hou Ji didn't dare to jump to conclusions, nor did he dare to open his mouth to interrupt Chen Chao's train of thought.

When the essay was all written, Chen Chao read through it back and forth, revised the sentences that did not make sense, and considered some words repeatedly, and finally copied it again, and handed the paper alignment to Hou Ji.

"Take it, personally hand it over to Yue'er's maternal grandfather, he is the governor of Huainan and has been an official for decades, and he knows the value of this policy at a glance."

"Do you really want to give it to him?"

Hou Ji knew that none of the things that Chen Chao had sold were scrap.

Especially when you write it with a pen.

Those poems made him a generation of poets!

The honor that came from this policy should have belonged to the Chen Dynasty, but now it is going to be given to an old man who has never met?

Hou Ji doesn't think it's worth it!

Chen Chao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't care, this strategy will be uploaded to the center in the end, uploaded to Wenchang Pavilion, and finally in my hands." ”

"It can be regarded as starting from my hand and falling into my hand."

It can be expected that when Huainan Zhizhou gets this policy, he will definitely send this policy to the capital.

The value of this policy cannot be measured in money, only in time.

It's a national gift!

Chen Chao wants to use it to marry Murong Yue!

Sincerity is very strong!

Chen Chao didn't explain so much, just urged Hou Ji to hurry up, but he himself was sleepy and urgently needed to get some sleep and make up for sleep.

Hou Ji left the house with the strategy, and was just about to send someone to send these to the mansion of Huainan Zhizhou, but unexpectedly, Xiao Han, a young man in black, took the initiative to take over the job.

"Give it to me, I'll send it for you."

"You?"

Hou Ji looked at Xiao Han and said strangely: "Would you be so kind?" ”

Xiao Han's face was expressionless, "Don't forget it, then I'll go." ”

"Gotta come back."

Hou Ji raised his hand to stop Xiao Han, and solemnly handed the strategy into his hand, "Go and go back quickly." ”

Xiao Han got the strategy, turned around and left.

It's just that after Xiao Han left the inn, he didn't go directly to the Huainan Zhizhou Mansion, but went straight to a bookstore, and spent a little money to ask someone to copy it according to the strategy.

Now, Xiao Han has two identical copies in his hands.

A copy he sent to the eldest princess of the capital quickly!

On the other hand, he slowly inquired about the residence of the governor of Huainan.
