The simple old tea farmer, naturally knows that his wealth is not exposed, and he will not betray the owner who has a great favor to his family, and he is about to pat his chest and promise that he will not say it if he is killed, but he heard a child calling from afar: Uncle, Uncle come here, Simu has found something good.Seeing that the little man was lying in the grass not far away, wearing a wide straw hat, and he couldn't see anyone from a distance, Lin Fangqin walked over, stretched out his hand and poked his pouting little buttocks, the child raised his head in surprise, pointed to a clump of white chicken fir fungus, and excitedly invited Gong: Uncle, look!
I wanted the cricket, and it ran away, but I found it, and it's a lot!
Bring it back to my father to stew soup to drink.How do you know that you call yourself uncle, but you always call yourself Yueyue Father?
Lin Fangqin scraped the stubborn child's nose helplessly, and said with a smile: You Bohm haven't come back yet?
We took it back and washed it and dried it in the sun.The four-year-old three-headed fat doll honestly stood aside, watching Uncle and Grandpa Wang dig out the long fungus legs from the ground, and then quickly took them and put them in their straw hats.When the day was slowly rising and the heat in the breeze was gradually unbearable, Lin Fangqin was about to take Simu home, but saw Shi Tiancai running up in a hurry, and said happily: "Young Master, Young Langjun is back, and he has already arrived in the village!"
Ah, Father is back, Father is back!
Uncle, take my fungus, I'm going to give it to my father.Simu said that he was about to run down the mountain, but Lin Fangqin grabbed him, squatted down, and said happily: How fast can you run with your little short legs!
Come up, uncle, carry you.Simu hurriedly climbed onto his back, urging him to hurry up and set off, while not forgetting to let Shi Tiancai take the straw hat full of chicken fir mushrooms.When Lin Fangqin walked to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall with his nephew on his back, he saw that his husband was talking to his grandfather and sixth grandfather, and there were a group of clansmen standing next to him, including his father and uncle.Seeing Lin Fangqin coming, the eldest uncle beckoned: Brother Qin, come here, let's listen to what your husband said about Brother Xu'er in the capital.Simu couldn't wait to run over, and after greeting the elders, he immediately threw himself into Zhao Shiyue's arms, and called out sweetly to his father, Zhao Shiyue picked him up and whispered in his ear: Bom brought Simu snacks from the capital, Simu is obedient, and he will give you food when he goes home later.After hearing this, Simu's eyes lit up, and then he quickly sat in his arms obediently and did not speak, and the grandfather next to him saw this, smiled and said: Didn't you just say that Brother Xu went to Hanlin Academy?
What happened later, and his marriage was decided?
There were a lot of people enjoying the shade under the big banyan tree in the summer, Zhao Shiyue handed Simu to Lin Fangqin, who walked to the side, and continued in the expectant and curious eyes of everyone: Brother Xu was in the Hanlin Academy at the beginning, but then he told me that he would not go to the Hanlin Academy for the time being.Hearing this, everyone raised their hearts, Lin Chengwen frowned even more, why didn't he go in a dignified manner, but something couldn't be done, but fortunately, he heard Zhao Shiyue continue: It was said that it was the Holy Decree to let him work part-time as a scholar in the Middle School, I don't know what to do, in short, it is much busier than when I was in the Hanlin Academy.Since it is the will of the saint, it must have been reused, but the official position of the Zhongshushe has not been heard, everyone was puzzled for a while, and they all looked at Lin Chengwen, how do they need Lin Chengwen to explain in person, Lin Fangqi, who is at home, is already elated, and said with his eyebrows dancing: Although the grade of the Zhongshushe is not high, he is a real minister of the Son of Heaven, and the folds of the Sheng's review have to pass his hands!
Even if the cabinet elder has something to report, he needs to convey it to the saint!
Clear!
Everyone didn't understand the power of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, but when they heard that they could maneuver between the elder and the saint, they must be the most powerful, and they were amazed for a while, and sighed constantly.Mother Lin was not most concerned about this, seeing that everyone was discussing the matter of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, she had to ask herself: Yueyue, what about Brother Xu's marriage?
But it's settled?
When everyone saw that they talked about the marriage of the juniors, they couldn't listen to it anymore, and for a while most of the people dispersed, saying that it was time to go home for lunch, leaving only a few people close to the family there.Lin Chengwen did not shy away from it, and asked directly: Where has the marriage process go?
Does the Marquis of Wu'an have anything to embarrass you?
Zhao Shiyue thought that when they left, they still held Mu Mu's hand and didn't let go, and Zhang Shaolangjun, who was talking about coming to play next time, said with a smile: The people in the Hou Mansion are very kind, and there is nothing embarrassing, I have already given the dowry when I left, and the specific wedding date has been temporarily set for three, I will take it back to my father and mother, and you will see which one is suitable, and then I will call back to the Hou Mansion after I have set it.Hearing this, everything that should have been explained has already been explained, looking at the tired husband, Lin Fangqin hurriedly found an excuse and took the person back to rest, leaving only the grandfather and the others to discuss the great prospects of the position of Zhongshusheren.Zhao Shiyue looked at the one in front of him, the big one poured tea for himself, and the small one held a straw hat chicken fir mushroom to offer treasure, felt that the whole person was relaxed, and said with a smile: Why don't you worry about Brother Xu'er's marriage at all, aren't you afraid that the Marquis of Wu'an will regret it?
Lin Fangqin thought about it for a while, and said in a rather firm tone: Don't worry, I believe in Brother Xu'er's ability!
Lin Xiuhao thought that after returning from Xiangshan, Hou Langjun of Wu'an, who guarded his little uncle like a thief, covered his mouth and laughed, but his father was glared at by his father.Seeing that the adults ignored him, Simu was busy hugging Zhao Shiyue's legs, and said coquettishly: Father, will Simu go to Mengxue with his second brother next year?
Is it okay not to go?
Zhao Shiyue knew that he didn't really want to go, but just wanted to attract the attention of adults, so he asked Mu Mu to open a box of dim sum, took a jujube cake to him, and said with a smile: No, you have to go, the Lin family has to study.After Simu nodded helplessly, he took the jujube cake and nibbled sweetly.Lin Fangqi's mood is not so sweet now, because his sister-in-law is saying in an exaggerated tone opposite him at this time: Brother Xu has been smart since he was a child, and he is really capable, this is considered to be a success, the second brother has a good relationship with him since he was a child, and when the second brother also becomes a jinshi, he will take care of it in the future.Lin Fangqi, who was still a showman, felt a little pressured, thinking about his results in each monthly exam, and felt that he still needed to work hard, Yu Youran sat aside, looked at him with a sad face, patted Xianggong's arm, and gave him a silent comfort, but he was very dissatisfied with his sister-in-law.Oh, count how many six champions there are in the past dynasties, and then see how many people with gray hair are still participating in the children's exam, and they can't pass the test so well as a jinshi!
Jinshi is not good for the test, just like this year's autumn tax is not easy to collect, seeing that the summer is about to pass, Li Xianling did not contribute energy to the people in the Yamen, but ran to Qixia Academy, threw the black gauze hat aside, sat opposite Xu Zhao with his clothes wide open, drank a cup of herbal tea, and then said happily: It's still hello, just teach and educate people in Qixia Academy, don't worry about those messy things, it's also leisurely.Xu Zhao put down the pen in his hand, looked at him and sneered twice, and mocked: Teaching and educating people is not my original intention, you have nothing to do, come to me here to say cool things?
!
Li Xianling said with a bitter face: Hey, how dare I say cool words, I praise it from the bottom of my heart, you are the one who taught the six champions, now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who doesn't know your name!
Xu Zhao rolled his eyes, continued to pick up the brush, and reviewed the article in front of him.Li Xianling waited for a while, and after making sure that he really wouldn't take the initiative to take care of himself, he stepped up, snatched the pen in his hand, put it on the pen stand, and said solemnly: Bodao, we don't talk about those vain things, I came to you this time, I just want you to give me ideas, what should I do with the tax this autumn?
Xu Zhao glanced at him with pity, not knowing whether he was pitying his compatriot or worrying about the people who were suffering from the lack of grain rain and the reduction of grain production.Li Xianling smiled bitterly: Heh, the world says that Jiangnan and other places are rich in water and soil, and how many people know this legendary land of fish and rice, and how many ordinary people are worried about not having three meals.Xu Zhao thought about the Jiangnan family with fine clothes and food, and felt helpless, this is the current situation in Jiangnan, the official eunuchs of the family occupied most of the fertile land, but because of their fame, they did not have to pay taxes and grain, and the tax task pressed by the imperial court in Jiangnan and other places was distributed to the ordinary people who had little land.In previous years, the problem of wind and rain was not obvious, this year's valley rain was delayed, and finally it ended sparsely twice, Xu Zhao deliberately went to his own grange to see, this year's harvest is destined not to be too good.In the end, whether to collect the people clean up and collect taxes from the imperial court, or to leave surplus grain for the people, and to get an inferior grade in their own evaluation, depends on the conscience of the hundreds of county orders.Chapter 64 Li County Order, as an official who has a lot of political revenge, but has a lot of conscience left, he is miserable, he can't take food from the people, and he can't do it in obscurity.The Jiangnan family, they have divided most of the oil and water in the land of fish and rice, and they will pour each other for some interests, but when someone wants to move their grain in the warehouse and eat in their mouths, they will instantly unite and unite with the outside world, which is a huge interest group.A typical representative event is that when the first emperor decided to fight Jiangnan, the Dong family took the lead, and a group of people worked together to catch the declining emperor's family and sacrifice, and used the lives of the old owner's family to save themselves.The first emperor must have regretted it later, and it is estimated that he really shouldn't have cared about his reputation at that time, nor should he be afraid of hurting the country's vitality, so he should have made a big effort to completely clear those who were sinking into the tumor, and he would not leave such a big hidden danger.Xu Zhao looked at his classmates who were unwillingly depressed there, and asked: This time there is little rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the scope of grain production reduction is so wide, what do you say other counties will do?
Li Xianling didn't even think about it, and mocked: The imperial court only levied taxes according to the registered acres, but it didn't know that most of the acres were in the names of those who did not have to pay taxes.As long as the imperial court has enough money and grain into the treasury, it doesn't matter where the money and grain come from!
Which of the local parents and officials has the courage to stretch out their hands with those families, but don't you see that the leader of the family is still in the cabinet?
Speaking of which, aren't you and my family among them?!
Li Xianling leaned on the Taishi chair in frustration, and said infinitely sadly: I can't touch it, I can't touch it, I don't want to come forward if I don't see the power like Kong Shoufu?
You see, in the end, it is still necessary to suck blood from the people.What kind of people live the most miserable lives?
Bad, not completely bad; Good, too good but not comprehensive.Li Xianling happens to be this kind of person who is not good or bad, fortunately he has a good friend who can teach the six champions and has extraordinary knowledge, only to listen to his good friend instigated: Since it has reached this point, in my opinion, why not be more direct, and simply throw these tumors directly in front of the court princes, the saint may want to see this.Li Xianling was not in pain at this time, but he was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and said with some trembling: Uncle Uncle Dao, I'm afraid this is too risky, those people can't tear me alive?!
Xu Zhao sneered and said: Who let a person do it, you think too highly of yourself, and you think that you can do it alone?!
A few days later, at the gate of Qixia Academy, the owner of the paper and ink shop sighed to the shopkeeper: It's really hot this summer, I have lived so many years or seen it once, you see that even the students of Qixia Academy are on vacation.It's really hot, but it's not because of this, but because their husband has something to do, and he has left Wuyi County two days ago.The official road from Jinhua Mansion to Hangzhou is lined with continuous paddy fields, which grow sparsely and sparsely, and the seedlings look listless under the scorching sun.The waterwheel at the head of the field was crowded with people waiting to draw water, but most of them were already in no hurry, and were carrying their burdens from the river to the fields again and again, for fear that if they were late for a while and half, they would run out of food rations for the winter.Xu Zhao stood on the edge of the official road, looking at a few children with bare buttocks and wearing coarse cloth gowns, the older ones holding wooden basins, and the smaller ones holding clay pots, carefully following behind the elders, and his heart was filled with endless sourness.Xu Zhao's little servant looked at his master's face and reminded carefully: Master, it's windy.Xu Zhao didn't seem to hear what he said, and only looked at the three or four-year-old child, who was depressed because he accidentally poured the water in the crockpot into someone else's field, and the adults next to him didn't care to comfort him.Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the breeze turned into a violent wind, blowing the clouds and making the seedlings rustle, and after a while, raindrops the size of beans fell one after another.The first to react was the three or four-year-old child, who put his crockpot on top of his head, jumping and jumping happily and cheering: It's raining, it's raining!
Xu Zhao wiped the rain from his face, glanced at the people who either high-fived and cheered, or knelt down to thank God, turned around and said: Let's go, it's time!
Yes, it's time, Xu Zhao turned over into the carriage, took off his robe, and thought about the conversation with Master Su in Jinhua Mansion, and his heart was slightly moved.Until now, he still remembers the excited demeanor of Su Zhifu after listening to him, as well as the high-spirited words: Bo Dao rest assured, the old man is so old, he has been mediocre for so many years, and when he is about to hand in his resignation, he can still ask for the people's life, what if the old man just gives up this official skin, it's just that Bo Dao is good to say goodbye to the old man.Xu Zhao naturally didn't dare to deceive him, if it didn't rain all the time, and the harvest was completely lost, but he gave those people a reason to take advantage of the loopholes, God didn't appreciate the food, what could the court do?
can only be completely exempted from taxes, so that they don't have to squeeze the people anymore, hello, I'm hello, everyone, only the imperial court's finances are tight.Well, now, because of this timely rain, the grain production has been reduced, and there is no reason to reduce or reduce taxes, he wants to see how they plan to end, and most of them will still be like in previous years, a group of people will unite as one, deceive and steal from the mouths of the people!
I'm afraid I can't help them!
This rain was really timely, Xu Zhao withstood this timely rain, and after many years, he once again stepped into the Shang Mansion and met his mentor Shang Zhongyan.The teacher and student closed the door and didn't mention anything for the time being, but when they came out, Xu Zhao's eyes were red, and he stayed in the Shang Mansion, and then there were more guests in the Shang Mansion.Lin Fangxu, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that his mentor and teacher were planning for the opportunity he had been waiting for, of course, he didn't know in his previous life that there was the promotion of his mentor behind that opportunity.On a rare day off, when he was still sleeping in the cage, he heard Lin Fangyuan's message that Jiang Gongzi was here, and he thought he could see Xiaoyun.Hey, Lin Fangxu sat listlessly opposite Jiang Shiwu, sighing in his heart, how long has he not seen Xiaoyun since Xiangshan came back?!
Jiang Shiwu couldn't understand his longing, slapped him roughly, and said: Hey!
What are you in a daze?
I ask you what to say, why don't you speak?
Lin Fangxu rubbed his shoulder that was patted and said innocently: What are you asking me for?
Jiang Shiwu said angrily: When did Chen Kai and Shang Wanjun look at each other?

Lin Fangxu was surprised: How do you know that they are looking at the right eye?!
Jiang Shiwu finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: I didn't tell you just now!
Did the two of them get married two days ago?
It must have been the right eye for a long time, hmph, the two often played together when they were in Hangzhou, and I had already noticed that something was wrong.Lin Fangxu was speechless, although he had already guessed that this would be sooner or later, he still echoed: You are so wise!
Seeing him like this, Jiang Shiwu was also a little bored, and said meaninglessly: Forget it, don't talk about them, anyway, Xiaoyun is also married to you now, and it doesn't matter what happens to them.That's right, Lin Fangxu changed the topic cooperatively: I heard that Brother Xiansi is also planning to move out of the Hou Mansion?
