Chapter 43


This year, the heavens are not beautiful, there are many production reductions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the county of Wuyi County has not increased the apportionment and salary, but has reduced the tax.If there is an accident, remember to protect yourself wisely, and not be greedy for merit Lin Fangxu sent the letter sent by the eldest brother, read it twice, put it in front of the candlestick and lit it, and the bright flame reflected his calm and waveless face.If it was lucky, the team transporting the autumn grain was afraid that it was almost in the capital, and Lin Fangxu still went to run errands for the emperor the next day, and hurried to Wenyuan Pavilion.He had already run back and forth between Wenyuan Pavilion and Qianqing Palace twice this morning, and when he approached Wenyuan Pavilion for the third time, the two pavilion elders had not finished arguing.At this time, Kong Ge Lao was righteous and asked impassionedly: Dong Xixiao'er!

Although the old man has more contact with the military attache in charge of the military department, he can't allow you to slander you like this!

The old man advocates repairing the pass of the city wall first, how can it become a military attache in your mouth, and the intention is wrong!

Could it be that my Great Wei Erlang can't fight against the Mengnu Iron Cavalry without any barriers!

Only you cowards who fled south can say such things!

As soon as the last sentence came out, the atmosphere was a little condensed in an instant, and the sore feet were stepped on again and again, Dong Ge Lao couldn't maintain his usual elegance and gentleness, and his face was iron-clad: Lord Shoufu assisted the first emperor and Mengnu to deal around, and the credit was so great that it couldn't be compared, but the Yangtze River has been seriously flooded in the past two years, and the embankment built in the previous dynasty has long been dilapidated, the rainfall is slightly heavier, and the downstream is a piece of Heze, tens of millions of innocent people have been victimized, and the imperial court wants to abandon them?

Li Ge Lao stood up at this time and said to the mud: The two of you are not impatient, it is better to let the household department think carefully and see where you can move some more money and food.The elder of the pavilion also talks about seniority, among which the elder Guan Ge, who has the least qualifications and the lowest seniority, is usually the most low-key, but at this time he is not angry: Lord Li, he is in charge of the household department, and he has been thinking about it for a long time, and the household department really has no money, do you want to go to the household treasury to see it in person?

Kong Ge Lao seemed to be still angry at Dong Xi's slander, slapped his palm on the bookcase, and said loudly: Lin family child, come here!

Lin Fangxu and Shang Tan and Kong Jue were honestly standing aside to watch the government, and when they heard this, they quickly stepped forward.Those are in red.After Kong Ge Lao pointed to a pile of folds and finished speaking, he picked up the two copies at hand and handed them to him, and said in a dissatisfied tone: As for these two copies, you can directly reply to the Shengshang, saying that the cabinet has different opinions and cannot give a conclusion, so you can only ask the Shengshang to cut it in person.Lin Fangxu picked up a bunch of folds, put the two copies on top, and hurried to the Qianqing Palace, His Majesty the Emperor, who was diligent in government and loved the people, had already asked him to urge him twice.After the two books on the top were naturally the first to be quarreled with, the emperor suddenly asked: Dongsheng is young, I have never seen the Mengnu Iron Horse, I have seen with my own eyes how they plundered the people, how they killed people like hemp, and finally under the heavy siege of the Han army, about a third of them can escape and run back to the grassland, can you imagine how strong they are?

Lin Fangxu said respectfully: Although the minister was fortunate to be born in a peaceful and prosperous era, when he was young, he also analyzed the disparity in troops, life and death casualties, and the strategy of using troops in various battles Speaking of this, Lin Fangxu hesitated for a while, and then said cautiously: After analyzing the minister's courage to guess, the combat power of the Mengnu Iron Cavalry is afraid that it is extraordinary, if there is no time and place, the Mengnu Iron Cavalry who ran back to the grassland is afraid that it will be more Emperor Jianwen After listening to it, he looked at the Zhongshu Sheren who was not yet eighteen years old in front of him, and said with a smile: Heh, did you analyze it when you were young for many years?

When you were young, you had some vision, and this is indeed the case, which is why the former emperor and the eldest emperor attached great importance to the assessment of the source of soldiers in the Beijing division battalion and the training of combat strength.After Emperor Jianwen finished speaking, he said with a moving face: Kong Ge Lao is a person who almost died under the iron horse of Mengnu, and the people who fled south really can't understand it, they live too comfortably.Lin Fangxu bowed his head and was silent, but he was also a little moved in his heart, but governing the country is not such a simple thing, how can he act according to his feelings, Emperor Jianwen may also realize that he is a little out of proportion, and he came back to his senses and continued: Dong Ge Lao's worries are indeed urgently needed, if you don't prevent trouble, a heavy rain next year, I don't know what evil consequences will be caused.After Emperor Jianwen finished speaking, he patted his forehead lightly, and said with a headache: Hey, saying that there is still no money in the treasury to make trouble, and now I can only wait for the autumn tax to enter the treasury, see if I can delay other things, and solve these two things in advance.In this way, His Majesty the Emperor has made a final decision on the coffin, and everyone is waiting for the autumn tax to enter Beijing, and then start to repair the city wall, and build the embankment.At the end of September, the autumn taxes from all over the country began to be transported to the capital one after another, and the entire household department went up to the household department and went down to the soldiers who guarded the door were extremely busy, but as the autumn grain in the northern provinces was slowly registered and put into storage, even in the Wenyuan Pavilion, the last ten days were calm and happy.However, after the tax grain from all over the south of the Yangtze River was also transported to the household department, the previous joy slowly dissipated, and Lin Fangxu would be instructed by the emperor every day to run to the household department a few times, copy the amount of new grain in the warehouse, and then immediately go to the Qianqing Palace to report to His Majesty the Emperor.Lin Fangxu's real-time updated data every day not only did not make the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, but his face became darker and darker.Every morning, the civil and military officials who are routinely fighting have been quiet as chickens recently, and try not to mobilize the sensitive nerves of the big boss at this time, so as not to be burned to ashes by this fire.However, it backfired, and when the farthest Fujian grain officer set off to return home with the conscription of transporting grain, the first three dukes of the Great Wei Dynasty, led by Shang Zhongyan Shang Taifu, and the former Hangzhou Xie Yuan Xu Zhao ghostwriter, including Jinhua Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, etc., a total of 12 Zhengsipin prefects, as well as 58 Qipin county commanders, including Li County Commander of Wuyi County, were handed to the imperial case.Chapter 67 The fold in Emperor Jianwen's hand was much thicker than usual, perhaps because of this, after almost half an hour, he put the fold on the imperial case, and said with a face like frost: Dongsheng, you go to Wenyuan Pavilion and invite the four pavilion elders over.When Lin Fangxu arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, the four pavilion elders, including Shang Tan and others, were all sitting in their own places, just sitting like that, not arguing and busy as usual, as if they were waiting for him.By the way, of course he was waiting for him, and when the joint chapter was first handed to the General Administration, it had already caused a thunderstorm, and now it is estimated that everyone who should know knows it.The people in the General Administration Department were so frightened that they dared not to detain it, so they hurriedly handed it up, but the General Affairs Envoy did not hand it to the cabinet, but handed it directly to Lin Fangxu.So now the four cabinet elders look at him with a somewhat complicated expression, why just hand it over, if it is handed over to the cabinet, it can still do something to press down, no matter how bad it is, you can discuss countermeasures in advance, so as not to be caught off guard like now.Compared with others, Shang Tan is actually the most confused one, and with his identity as a little Si Shilang, there is naturally no way to know the content of the fold in advance, but his uncle seems to have a way.He still remembered that in the middle of the night last night, the uncle hurriedly woke him up from the bed and asked him if he knew what his grandfather had done, and why they didn't tell him if they still regarded him as a businessman.Shang Tan naturally didn't know, he now remembered the angry appearance of the uncle last night, and then thought of the other people who looked at him when he came to Wenyuan Pavilion to be on duty this morning, and his heart was a little blocked, a little flustered, and a little scared, yes scared.It wasn't until now, seeing Lin Fangxu, that his mood improved slightly, since the envoy chose to directly give the chapter to Dongsheng, and Dongsheng handed it directly to the saint without going through the cabinet, presumably he should have gotten the news in advance.Maybe it's because now that there is a tall man in front, he finally doesn't have to bear the wrath of others alone, so Shang Tan is not angry because he was kept in the dark, but now he is strangely relieved.Sure enough, Dong Ge Lao glanced at Lin Fangxu with a calm face, and said mockingly: The old man also boasted to the younger generations of the clan yesterday that Lin Liushou had learned from people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ancient and modern, and taught them to learn more from Lin Liushou, but now it seems that he does not dare to let them learn from you anymore, so as not to be as bold and reckless as he will be in the future and bring the family to his back.Lin Fangxu's heart sank, but he said respectfully on his face: Kuang Gu Shuo can't afford to be an official, and the lower official is not bold, but very small.The saint instructed the lower officials to invite the four adults to go to the Qianqing Palace, and also asked the four adults to move.Elder Dong Ge wanted to say something more, hoping to find out from Lin Fangxu what the attitude of the Holy Lord was now, but he was interrupted by Elder Kong Ge, his old man had no expression from the beginning to the present, and said in an extremely flat tone: Since the Holy Lord has ordered, let's set off, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, what to do.Dong Ge scolded his mother in his heart, heh, you are relaxed now, do you really think that the matter of Jiangnan Yintian's taxation will not involve you?

Don't forget, you Kong Lao'er is the first assistant, something is really going to happen to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Wei, the first to be scolded is the saint, and the second to be scolded is you!

But no matter how angry Dong Ge was, there was no way at this time, could he still hide from the emperor, but when he passed in front of Lin Fangxu, he flicked his sleeves and glared at him.No matter how bold Lin Fangxu was, he didn't dare to face the first-class master, so he had to respond with a smile, Guan Ge Lao saw him like this, sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly: You are really too risky this time!

If I had not presented it directly to the Holy Lord, but had handed it over to the Cabinet, the Master and their letter would have been accidentally lost or damaged by the mistake of some unfortunate and humble person.Lin Fangxu's mood at this time is probably only understood by Elder Li Ge, for people who are perennial and muddy, today's matter is really beyond the norm for him, and he is full of resentment.What can Lin Fangxu do, this matter is also beyond the norm for him.Be!

He did know that there was such a joint letter in his previous life, and he also knew that it was the head of the master, but as for whether the teacher had ghostwriting, he didn't know.But this letter was handed over by the general government envoy in the last life?!

I didn't expect this old man to not plan to go it alone in this life, and insisted on pulling himself!

Hey, it's only too convenient to blame himself for the position of the scholar, plus his master and teacher are so high-profile, he can't hide it no matter how much he hides, so he was so reluctant to be forced to mix.To say that Lin Fangxu has no opinion on the political envoy, it is really impossible, he has never intended to be in such a limelight, and indeed as Dong Ge Lao said, the Lin family's small family can't afford to toss.He did think about using this matter to seek benefits for his qualifications, but not in this way, it is useless to say more now, he can only comfort himself that the higher the risk, the higher the return.After Lin Fangxu gave the anxious Shang Tan a reassuring look, he followed the four pavilion elders to the Qianqing Palace.When Lin Fangxu left, there was only one emperor in the Qianqing Palace who seemed to be eating people, and when he came back with the four pavilion elders, not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace was there, but even the Left Governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion was also there, and the right Governor of the Great Emperor's eldest brother was also there.Okay, all the civil and military officials of Zhengyipin have arrived, plus the emperor and the emperor's heir, the eight people gathered here at this time are the people who can influence the fate of the Great Wei Dynasty, looking at the people who looked up in the previous life, and at least now need to look up to a group of people in this life, Lin Fangxu, a part-time Zhongshu scholar, silently shrank behind.But reality once again taught Lin Fangxu that reborn people are not qualified to keep a low profile.Emperor Jianwen saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't wait for them to salute, so he said: Dongsheng, fold this letter for everyone to read.Lin Fangxu had no choice but to step forward, take the thick notebook, and read slowly in a solemn and solemn tone: The ministers who hear the monarch are also the lords of all things in the world, and their responsibilities are extremely heavy.Ministers, please put on your heart and gallbladder, for Your Majesty.In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the fertile land in the hands of the people decreased sharply, but the salary was increased and apportioned continuously, until this year, because the valley rain was not abundant, the yield per mu was less than half of the previous years, and the taxes paid accounted for three or four out of ten, and the ministers could not bear the people to have nothing to eat in winter, so they jointly signed a letter, Zhu Xianzong, the prince of the Fu begging holy judge, heard that his forehead was bruised, and the imperial court only asked for thirty taxes and one tax, where did three or four out of ten come from?

Who gave them the courage to dare to act recklessly like this, regardless of the life and death of the people, and trap the court in injustice.However, it was not his turn to be angry and train people, and his angry emperor father was already so angry that he stood up all at once, swept the pen, inkstone, and music on the imperial case under the table, slapped it on the bookcase, and roared: Who will tell me!

What's going on!

Elder Kong Ge, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, and a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, do you know that my people are still starving?

What about Dong Ge Lao?

Your Dong family's ancestral home is in Jiangnan, do you know?

Oh, not only do you know, but you also help cover it up!

Since I succeeded to the throne, I am afraid of living up to the efforts of the first emperor, afraid of being sorry for thousands of people, and I have been conscientious and dare not slack off for several years.The emperor's words have reached this point, where do the courtiers dare to stand, including Zhu Xianzong's son, they all knelt down and asked for sin: The saint is angry, and the ministers are guilty.It is said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, for those who have just entered the court, they are usually only responsible for small things such as running errands and passing words, but at this time, they have to kneel here with the elders, governors and other important ministers to ask for guilt, Lin Fangxu felt that he was a little wronged.Emperor Jianwen also seemed to know that responsibilities and powers should be clearly distinguished, and at this time, he looked at the most powerful and highest-ranking among the courtiers with an expressionless face and asked: Elder Kong Ge, as the first assistant, do you have nothing to say?

After all, he is the one who assisted the first emperor to fight the country, even if the emperor's expression is not good at this time, he can still say calmly and calmly: Qi Yu Shengshang, Jiangnan and other places have had many problems since the decline of the emperor of the previous dynasty, until today, if you really want to study it carefully, I am afraid that it will not be smooth at all for two or three days, and it is widely implicated, if it is eradicated, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation.Emperor Jianwen had slowly calmed down at this time, and after thinking about his words, he could only reluctantly agree in his heart, the previous dynasty was corrupt and destroyed, and land annexation was an important reason, if he could really be easily cured, it would not be his turn to sit on the throne of the Zhu family.Although there are many difficulties, Emperor Jianwen doesn't want to let it go, in that case, the Great Wei Dynasty is afraid that it will not survive four or five generations, so he continued: Since you can't ignore it and can't say it clearly, then call the six Jiuqing and discuss it tomorrow!

, if I can't come up with a reason after discussion, I will let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies take care of it!

Wen does not pre-empt military affairs, and Wu naturally cannot participate in civil affairs, and does not let military generals fight, but let them govern general affairs, how to govern them?

With a bow, arrow, knife and gun?

As a representative of the Southern Shi Clan, although Dong Ge Lao, who had not spoken since he came in, knew that it was a cruel word deliberately put by the emperor, and he couldn't take it seriously, he also had a cold neck at this time.Whenever there is any major matter to be decided in the court, it is discussed by the elder of Wenyuan Pavilion and the six departments and nine qing, and the emperor presides, and the final result is voted by all the adults, and the emperor can overthrow it, but the emperor generally does not do that, at most he dislikes the lack of consideration, and lets him discuss it again.If Lin Fangxu is only the Hanlin Academy's revision, he can't touch the edge of this kind of thing, but who told him to be a part-time scholar in the middle school, the emperor's royal errands, he actually has qualifications, Shang Tan, Kong Jue and other four Si Duty Lang are the same, the cabinet elder's special secretary, this kind of occasion, naturally has to be carried.However, now no one can feel lucky to participate in the court discussion, and the six departments and Jiuqing who got the news are all panicked, and they don't sleep in the middle of the night at this time, and they each find their own friends to discuss in series, and it is at this time that Lin Fangxu welcomes the anxious Shang Tan into the door.Chapter 68 Since the four pavilion elders left, the four secretaries have been idle, Dong Kun, Kong Jue and others have surrounded Shang Tan, and kept asking him if he knew before, why didn't Shang Taifu tell him?

Does Lin Fangxu know something?

Shang Tan was annoyed by several people, and at this time he could finally ask Lin Fangxu the same words: Dongsheng, did you get the news in advance?

Did grandfather tell you?

Lin Fangxu said with a smile: Heh, what do you think?

, Do you think that the master will take the risk of leaking the news and deliberately write to me all the way to tell me?

I also found out about the government envoy who found me.
