Volume 2 A River in Spring and a River in Green Chapter 28 A Year (II)
"Okay, Bao Aiqing, worthy of being my Great Qin Dongliang, I will write these words mentioned by you and my monarchs and ministers on the top and hang them in the imperial study!"
Bao Haiyou was overjoyed when he heard this, what a great honor this is for a courtier, but he still said modestly: "My emperor is gracious, and the minister should never give up!"
After Li Jun wrote these words on the map of Wan Jun, he waved his hand and said: "Don't die if something is wrong, the widow wants you loyal ministers to live well, so that you can help the widow share the worries of the world." ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Then Li Jun took a brocade cloth, wiped the sweat from his palms and said, "Aiqing knows why the widow asked you to come?"
"I don't know. Bao Haiyou lowered his eyebrows and said.
"Yi Qingzhi is so smart that he doesn't know, is it true or false?" Li Jun said with a playful smile.
Although there are some guesses in the minister's heart, how dare he kick the king's belly with a little cleverness. ”
After hearing this, Li Jun didn't have the intention to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly: "At the end of last year's commercial tax reform, the widow took your suggestions, what do you think?"
"The minister also participated in the change of commercial law and commercial tax, and he is quite confident in this. “
"You have faith, but the widow is not optimistic. ”
Bao Haiyou was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know why Li Jun said this, but he didn't say anything since he knew that he would have something to say, and sure enough, Li Jun continued: "In my opinion, Bao Aiqing has pointed out almost all the problems, but there is only one biggest drawback, which is that he has never said it. “
"I hope Your Majesty will tell me!"
"Tax evasion, tax evasion, tax concealment!"
Hearing this, Bao Haiyou hurriedly prostrate on the ground and said: "My emperor is wise, but the minister is negligent." ”
Li Jun sneered: "I don't think you're negligent, but you don't dare!"
When Bao Haiyou heard this, he suddenly sweated like raindrops, but he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"Do you know that this is a crime of deception, and if you miss this, what good is it that what you have proposed?"
Bao Haiyou has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his mind is naturally that exquisite, since he can call it here today, he is also a lyricist and a greeting, he must have something to talk about himself, so he said in a hurry: "The minister should die, I hope Your Majesty will give the minister a chance to atone for his sins." ”
Since the other party is so knowledgeable, Li Jun is naturally happy, but he still said with a straight face: "Since you said so, the widow here is really good There is one thing that you need to do, if it is done well, it is not impossible to be a top three grade, if it can't be done, hehe." ”
Speaking of this, Li Jun didn't say much, and Bao Haiyou hurriedly said when he heard it: "Please also ask Your Majesty to order, and the ministers should be their own livers and brains!"
"Okay, it's really commendable to have this determination, Jiangnan Dao don't look at the various taxes every year, ranking first in Daqin, but the taxes that have been stolen are also a lot more than this, and the widow can let you be the supervisor of Jiangnan Dao, not favoritism, and then allocate you a thousand green oxen to ride, led by Gu Shunzhi, the captain of the green cow. All things are to be done by you, go, wait for your good news. ”
"Command!"
......
"The high of the temple is worried about the people, and the far away of the rivers and lakes is worried about its king" This is the ambition of Ren Xian'an when he was a teenager, no matter how many years he has experienced as an official, this original intention has not been forgotten, but no matter how he fell into this big dye vat, if he can do it out of the mud without staining, it is simply nonsense, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position.
Many scholars and celebrities who don't understand the inside story criticize Ren Xian'an, who is now the prime minister of the dynasty, is nothing more than a corpse vegetarian meal, and does not seek to be motivated, and he always laughs at this, and always says that if he is angry because of this, then Zhao Chun of Shangzhu State will not die of anger a long time ago?
The huge Great Qin needs him to take care of all aspects, and occasional mistakes are inevitable, not to mention those complicated little things, the mouths of the people of the world will be blocked by the people of the world, this is his consistent way of acting, but in today's matter, he has to insert such a leg no matter what, no matter how reluctant he is, and even has a little support in his heart, he has to bite the bullet.
Since ancient times, the wealthy families of the scholar family have had an inseparable relationship with the courtiers, and it is understandable to say that they are from the same family, but now Li Jun's sudden move really hurt the interests of these people, Ren Xian'an was born in a poor family, and he has looked down on these people since he was a child, but now there is no way, if you want to do things, you must first be an official in the court, otherwise you can talk about it, and in the end it will be just talk on paper.
And when it comes to this circle, if you don't abide by the rules of this circle, the result can be imagined, and it doesn't exist to block a hundred, so even if Ren Xian'an is reluctant, even if he is the bull's ear of a hundred officials, he has to ask for the "official's" life.
Li Jun looked at the conscientious old minister in front of him, and he was also clear about why he came, so he said: "If this matter is not used by some thunderbolt means, when will this stubborn disease be eliminated?"
"Your Majesty is wise, but Jiangnan Province is a major tax area in our dynasty, and if it is not handled well, it will affect the overall situation, and it is normal for hundreds of officials to be worried. ”
There was something in the words of the old guy in front of him, Li Jun couldn't hear it, and said with a chuckle: "Go back and tell those guys, the widow is going to be resolute this time, if anyone dares to stop it, it will be light to punish him for the nine clans, and if anyone is not satisfied, come and ask me face to face!"
"Obey the order!"
Ren Xiangshi has done it, and his attitude has also been indicated, as for the result, it is a matter for the ministers and Li Jun, as for His Majesty is so exquisite, Ren Xian'an is also happy to be idle, he doesn't want to say a few more words because of this, so he will reduce the holy family, no matter how it is calculated, it is not cost-effective.
The rivers and lakes are so big, the bottom of the lake is so deep, no one dares to regard it as idle, even Li Jun is no exception, and Xue Wen, who is well versed in this, is even more so, but he has no choice, after all, it is a sharp blade in the emperor's hand, and he will stab it wherever he swings it, if there is a slight delay, the fate of this sharp blade is difficult to say.
Under normal circumstances, Xue Wen, the Taishi, stays in the mansion and does not come out, after all, big and small things need to be decided by him, the Taishi, but this time he really has to go out to solve some things, in the final analysis, it is just some private matters, otherwise he will not need to go out in person.
The journey from Fuyuan to Dijing is not far, it is only a thousand miles away, if you go faster for ten days, you can go back and forth, there is nothing to do on the way to the road, and after successfully completing the private affairs, you will return the same way, but when you go to the Yunxia Mansion to the Dijing section, there is an accident.
The road from Dijing to Yunxia Mansion is mostly mountain and rugged, only the official road is relatively flat, and the convoy is less than 200 people, all of whom are first-class masters in the mansion, but for some reason Xue Wen has a bad feeling in his heart.
So he gave an order to the entourage outside the car, and then the whole convoy slowly stopped, Xue Wen was quite confident in his intuition, otherwise he would have died a few times, and squinted and said to the personal guard beside him: "Go and bring the person who led the way." ”
The personal guard answered, and hurriedly got out of the car, leaving Xue Wen alone looking out of the car with a gloomy face, and after a few breaths, the personal guard came over with a person who looked like a calming envoy.
"Huang Man, the subordinate group B pacification envoy, has seen Master Taishi!"
Xue Wen just opened his mouth to himself, and said in a hoarse, knife-like voice: "Why don't you take the official road?"
"Returning to the Taishi, because the pipeline goes around the mountain a lot, Gu Lu is much farther, didn't you say that the road should be faster? ”
Xue Wen nodded when he heard this, but he still ordered: "From now on, I will change my career to the official path." ”
"Yes!"
With Xue Wen's order, the convoy slowly descended the mountain, but before it was ten zhang away, it only heard a sharp roar from the mountain, and then hundreds of sharp arrows attacked the convoy, and more than a dozen of them were mixed with the sound of wind and thunder.
Xue Wen's personal guard, as soon as he heard it, knew that it was the sound of a strong crossbow, so he shouted, "Master, hide behind the car!"
In fact, without waiting for him to speak, Xue Wen secretly shouted that it was not good, after all, he was also a master of the first-grade realm, but because of his age, coupled with the fact that he had been in the position for a long time, he would no longer make a move, and as soon as the words fell, two or three crossbow arrows pierced the carriage that Xue Wen had just ridden, obviously the other party had already prepared.
Xue Wen has gone through many winds and waves, and there is no trace of anxiety at the moment, the old servant who was driving the car has already come to his side, Xue Wen said with a cold face: "There is Lao Jia here to accompany me, you go and bring that Huang Man over, I have to ask him!"
Except for the two special carriages in the center, the rest of them have already been shot into a sieve, and one of them was shot by the opponent's crossbow, and the already crumbling carriage collapsed, which was the two special carriages hidden behind Xue Wen, which were also constantly shot back by the attacking crossbows, and the left side of the car wall had already been pierced a few holes, Xue Wen carefully picked up the curtain above his head and looked in.
Then he muttered to himself: "How can it be the crossbow arrows made by Xiliang and Nanzhao?" Lao Jia, the coachman on the side, was even more puzzled.
The fact that the other party can have a strong crossbow in his hand is to make Xue Wen wonderful, after all, such weapons are rarely equipped even with the general state army, let alone the crossbow from Xiliang and Nanzhao, just as Xue Wen was thinking about it, the two schools not far away were not bad for a while, and they were strung with sugar gourds by the half-zhang long crossbow arrows, and the two were pushed out of three or four zhang before they fell to the ground, Xue Wen looked at it intently, obviously there was death and no life.
At this time, the enemy in the mountain also rushed up, it was on both sides, but why was there no strong crossbow on the right side, and the next breath Xue Wen looked at the terrain on both sides and figured it out, if he went forward more than a hundred zhang, it would really be a belly and back enemy, there was death and no life, the special signal flare of the Inspector's Mansion had already been shot out, and the nearest government army was stationed in Yunxia Mansion, and it would take about an hour to get here.
Xue Wen instructed while thinking about it: "Lao Jia, take my knife, it is inevitable that you will have to make a move today." ”
The old servant heard this like a spirit monkey, dodging left and right and got into the carriage, without waiting for Lao Jia to take it, the personal guard, who had already come to Xue Wen with a half-dead pacification envoy, because of the rush of this trip, he did not bring too many people, so he transferred a lot of school affairs near Yunxia Mansion, and this pacification envoy named Huang Man was one of the responsible persons.
Xue Wen glanced at Huang Man, who was lying on the ground, and sneered, "Say, who made you do this?
Huang Man gasped twice, and said softly: "Master Mingjian, my subordinates don't know. ”
When the personal guard heard this, he wanted to knock him unconscious first and deal with it later, but he didn't expect Xue Wen to say: "Find a safe place to settle him, I believe what he said." ”
Hearing this, the personal guard hurriedly said, "Taishi!"
Xue Wen didn't say anything when he heard this, just frowned, and the personal guards were silent when they saw this, and hurriedly did what Xue Wen asked, at this time the two sides had begun to hand over the short soldiers, and for a while, the strong crossbow naturally stopped, Xue Wen kissed the blade in his hand and said: "Old friend, it hasn't been unsheathed for five years, don't let me down this time!"
In this way, Xue Wen and the three of them hid behind the carriage, watching the battle situation around them coldly, and occasionally a few people who were not long-eyed were slashed by the two people beside them, Gan Ning is a pacification envoy of his own group, and he is also Gan Yuanzheng's cousin.
The enemies who came this time, in Gan Ning's opinion, are almost all dead, if they are seriously injured, the companions next to them will not hesitate to give a knife, and those who fight alone, when they have no slackening, will also swallow the poison pill in their mouths, so until this moment Gan Ning has not caught a single live mouth, and he can't help but feel more and more heartbroken, looking at the dense enemies around him, there should be no less than five hundred, maybe more.
Just when he relied on his extraordinary skills to really kill the Quartet, he felt a palpitation inexplicably, and turned around without thinking, but at this time it was a little late, and a sharp arrow still pierced his arm with a whistling sound, Gan Ning endured the pain and looked fixedly, so far on the tree thirty zhang away in front of him, only one person was holding a bow and crossbow that had not been stopped.
Seeing that the man missed the blow, he didn't stay on the tree for too long, and jumped down from the tree with a move, intending to find a good place to shoot other masters of the Inspector's Mansion, Gan Ning saw that he bit his teeth, so he opened his legs and chased after the man, there is this person I don't know how many brothers will be lost, not to mention that the master is still in the formation, if this person is looking for a good opportunity, it is a great sin.
Like Gan Ning's situation, you can see it everywhere, the enemy who came this time is different from the past, and the quality is not far from the Inspector's Mansion, which is shocking enough, you must know that the people of the Inspector's Mansion randomly pick out a realm that is above the fifth grade, even if it is under this, most of them have other skills, and these dead soldiers, even if there is a slight gap, but with that fierce fear of death, it is enough to make up for it.
But the difference in numbers still gives the other party a big advantage, and the people in the Inspector's Mansion are not ordinary martial artists, they only know that they are ruthless and brave, and the secret weapons are all out, and they can barely cope with it for a while, but as time goes by, there are also many enemies who have touched in, and there is no shortage of masters above the level of one grade, Xue Wen's personal guard, who has to be led out.
"It's coming soon!" Xue Wen muttered.
The old servant next to him, Lao Jia, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his qi had reached the peak, obviously if he didn't make a move, he would kill someone if he made a move!
In the next breath, I saw a man like an old farmer, stepping on the treetops like a flying fairy from the sky to the field, there were nearly a hundred people in this area, and it was thirty zhang away from Xue Wen at this moment, although he only saw a figure, but Xue Wen knew that the guy was looking at him at the moment.
As if treating others as nothing, some people from the Inspector's Mansion wanted to stop this old peasant-like man when they saw him, but the next breath was either dead or disabled, wailing, thirty zhang away, less than three breaths of work, the old peasant floated in, there was no bead of sweat on his forehead, it can be seen that the horror of the body, when Xue Wen saw the face of the person who came, his face couldn't help but sink and sank.
After half a sound, he said: "It's really a big deal to be able to invite the sword!"
"Oh, just a pariah, the Taishi even knows. ”
"If I don't know you Chuxiong, I, the master of the Inspector's Mansion, will be a little too incompetent. ”
"Can I borrow the head of the Taishi item?"
The old peasant-like man said this relaxedly, as if he was just killing a chicken, but no one took him as just talking, the eight-foot-tall man, carrying a six-foot-long wide knife, this big knife alone has a person heavy, worthy of the title of the overlord knife, this knife is afraid that few people can withstand it, that is, the iron hand that has always been known for its strength in front of him, is also like a child.
Xue Wen sneered and said, "If you have that ability, why not give it to you?"
Chu Xiong pinched the big hand full of thick calluses, no longer looked at Xue Wen, but looked at the old servant beside him, and showed a cruel smile after half a sound, and the next breath saw that he flew over with a knife, and the two added up to more than three hundred catties, not to mention anything else, just this weight, at this speed, rushed over, not to mention a person, even a cow had to be broken up.
The old servant had nothing in his hand, but the next moment it was like a trick, and he conjured up a sword, the sword was five feet long, the whole body was blue, and there were two born dragons coiled around it on both sides of the hilt, and they were decorated with two dragon heads, different from other dragon heads, the eyes of these two dragon heads were actually green, and they had the potential to swallow heaven and earth, and even Chu Xiong, who was galloping over, couldn't help but say unsurely: "Bilong?"
But at this moment, whether he is a silver dragon or a blue dragon, it is already certain that the hand-to-hand combat is certain, Chu Xiong shouted, the knife of more than 100 catties in his hand is like nothing, and the next second it is mixed with the power of Wan Jun to cut forward, but although it is cut away, he does not want to cut straight like ordinary people, but obliquely chopping the past, as long as people who know a little about martial arts know that it is taboo to open and close widely, only in this way can the force be exerted to the extreme, and no matter how the other party changes his moves, he has time to respond to the call.
