Lin Fangxu was stared at by him and was uncomfortable, or the Zhong family couldn't stand it first, and said: Brother Xu and Xiaoyun are married, and they will be a family in the future, when the time comes, you have the opportunity to ask for advice, don't be here now, quickly lead you Brother Lin to find your grandfather.Oh!
Okay, Brother Lin, I'll take you to find your grandfather, by the way, Uncle Xu Shi also came to Hangzhou two days ago, and he was with his grandfather at this time.Shang Tan enthusiastically led Lin Fangxu to the way, and kept talking as he walked.Xu Zhaodu has already been involved in the joint letter, so Lin Fangxu is not surprised to see him in Hangzhou now, but he didn't expect that he was not praised by his teacher when he first met, but he was given a training first.When do people feel old?
Seeing that yesterday's child has now grown into a humble gentleman, so when he saw his proud protégé Feng standing handsomely in front of him, Xu Zhao first sighed in his heart, the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night!
Then he said with a straight face: Heh, Lin Liushou is very capable, he dares to point out the country in the Qianqing Palace when he is not as weak as the crown, and the evaluation club is good, you are always choking, you are really bold and reckless!
What can Lin Fangxu say?
can only accept it obediently, bow his head and listen to the training silently, but Shang Zhong drowned his beard, smiled and dismantled the stage for his apprentice: Okay, Bo Dao don't be duplicitous, didn't you praise him before for not having limited thinking and knowing how to find another way?
Speaking of which, the matter of reorganizing the city's shipping tax, Dongsheng has raised it well!
It's because we were complacent before, and we only knew how to stare at that one-third of an acre.Looking at the slightly unnatural face of his teacher, Lin Fangxu smiled in his heart, but said modestly: Shi Gong is staring at more than one acre and three points of land, in the final analysis, land annexation is the real root of all problems, and reorganizing the city tax is just a choice for the imperial court to take a step back.Xu Zhao glanced at this pretending kid, and also sighed: I heard that Lord Yang will only go out of Beijing at the beginning of next year, probably because he wants to wait for the prince to make a move here, and it is best to share some attention, and I don't know if it will be possible in the end.Although Shang Zhongyan was old, his eyes were very sharp, and at a glance, he could see that Lin Fangxu's eyes were faintly disapproving, and he asked curiously: Is Dongsheng optimistic about this Qingyintian matter, or is he not optimistic about Lord Yang?
Lin Fangxu restrained his emotions, and only smiled: Lord Yang is notoriously upright, how dare the students criticize, but they just think that there are more and more people who don't have to pay taxes, and the land annexation can't really be completely curbed, and this time it's just a matter of clearing more and less.Xu Zhao's master and apprentice all understood the meaning of his words, Shang Zhong was old and refined, and he was naturally more calm when he saw more, but Xu Zhao smiled helplessly: Indeed, Xiucai still has sixty acres of land under his name that does not pay taxes, plus the promotion of people and scholars, princes and nobles, heh, it is really an unsolvable problem, it is impossible to abolish the imperial examination!
Shang Zhongyan saw that his apprentice was taken to the ditch by Lin Xiaozi in three or two sentences, and sat there with a long sigh, so he didn't have a good breath and said: There is no problem that cannot be solved!
The same goes for land annexation!
Seeing that Xu Zhao came back to his senses, Shang Zhongyan pointed at Lin Fangxu again and continued: "Your proud disciple's remarks in the Qianqing Palace are the best solution.If the business industry can really prosper, I don't know how many people's food and clothing can be solved, you see that the leg strength of moving and unloading goods on the Hangzhou wharf is higher than that of farmers, not to mention some craftsmen.When the people find that farming is far less profitable than other jobs, you see who is willing to rent their land and wait to grow grass and raise snakes!
After hearing this, Xu Zhao suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said with a smile: If it is really at that time, either reduce the tenant rent, or give up the tuntian and follow the business, the serious problem of land annexation will naturally be solved.Lin Fangxu and Shang Zhongyan looked at Xu Zhao, who was happy with himself, smiled and didn't speak, not to mention that the development of business will inevitably bring new problems, that is, the reorganization of the city's foreign tax is not smooth now.However, although the two are not as optimistic as Xu Zhao, they are not people who retreat when they encounter difficulties.The two foxes, one old and one young, both decided to be bright and dark, adding fuel to the fire, as for who was bright and who was dark, Shang Zhongyan and Lin Fangxu looked at each other tacitly, and they both had a suitable position in their hearts.Thinking of hearing his son talk about the situation on the dock in the morning, Shang Zhongyan pondered for a while before asking: Dongsheng and His Highness went back to Hangzhou together, do you know His Highness's attitude towards the reorganization of the city's foreign tax?
Lin Fangxu saw that his master knew everything, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, and decided not to beat around the bush with him, and said directly: Your Highness has let the Jingshi Battalion show its sword, isn't your attitude clear enough?
Shi Gong wants to ask the attitude of the saint!
Shang Zhongyan was pierced in his mind, not angry or embarrassed, and he could joke: The reorganization of the city tax and the inventory of the hidden fields were carried out almost at the same time, what did the saint think?
Which side do you value more?
Your master and we are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and we can't guess the holy will, don't we still have to rely on the guidance of the Linshe people!
Jiang is still old and spicy, Lin Fangxu's face was slightly red, but he looked at Shang Zhongyan a few times with an expressionless face, and then said respectfully: From the student's point of view, the saint must also know that the land annexation cannot be stopped, and he wants to find another source of wealth, as for which side is more important?
Scold!
Now that the treasury is so empty that the rats can't stay, and the border defense, water conservancy, and security are in urgent need of money, the saint must be more concerned about reorganizing the city tax, and as for the inventory of the hidden fields, it should be used to distract attention.Shang Zhongyan nodded, it was similar to what he guessed, and after he had a plan in his heart, he didn't want to see it again, this bastard who coveted his grandson while still in the Shang Mansion!
Don't ask him why he knows, he saw it when the kids debated last year!
Lin Fangxu was sent away, Xu Zhao also said goodbye, knowing that Lin Fangxu lived in the inn with his nephew, and after instructing the little girl to go to the inn to pick up Lin Xiuhao and others, he directly took Lin Fangxu to the carriage back to the Xu family's courtyard.Xu Zhao may be more naïve than Shang Zhongyan, no!
It can't be said to be naïve, it can only be said that it is two more points of idealism, but he is definitely not stupid, looking at his disciples at this time, he couldn't help but mention: Your master is afraid that he will be directly involved this time, with your master and the prince in front, you better keep a low profile!
Puff Lin Fangxu was more casual in the face of Xu Zhao, and couldn't help but smile after listening to him: Mr. dares to write the excerpts of the book jointly, but at this time, he advises students to keep a low profile, how can Mr. not lead by example!
Haha Xu Zhao also laughed at his ridicule, stretched out his hand and knocked on his head and said: Promotion!
Don't pretend to be confused for me, although the teacher is not in the officialdom, but it's not really ignorant, you go sideways in order to quickly gain a foothold, this move is really risky, fortunately, it is barely a success, now you have to think about how to retreat, can you think about it?
Xu Zhao's status in Lin Fangxu's heart is different, he is a little less slippery in front of Shang Zhongyan at this time, and a little more sincere: Sir, rest assured, the student knows that he is two pounds, and the student of this reorganization of the city is already a side drum, and when it is over, the student plans to seek a vacancy for the outgoing, slowly accumulate political achievements, and come down-to-earth.Xu Zhao nodded, and said with some expectation in his tone: Yes!
Now that you have left your name in front of the saint and the crown prince, no one dares to deliberately suppress you, and when you have accumulated enough political performance and qualifications, it is not impossible to enter the list of the six ministries and nine kings in one step.In fact, in the final analysis, although Xu Zhao blamed him for being too risky, he was actually proud of his disciple in his heart, mainly because Lin Fangxu's family background was too low, if he didn't take risks, he would honestly work on his qualifications, and it was estimated that his grades would not be much better than in his previous life.Lin Fangxu was very satisfied with this, and told Xu Zhao about his next plan: His Royal Highness is estimated to stay in Hangzhou for a longer time, and when the various forces are mixed together, I am afraid that it will be very chaotic, and the students plan to go back to Wuyi County first, and go directly to Ningbo after the New Year.Xu Zhao nodded secretly after hearing this, and agreed: Indeed, it is better to avoid this kind of time, when do you plan to set off, it is better to get it as soon as possible.Lin Fangxu was a little embarrassed at this time: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for the people from the Jingshi Camp to return to Wuyi County together, because of today's incident, it may take some time.Wait a little longer, what are you blushing?!
Xu Zhao was very puzzled in his heart, and suddenly thought that his teacher had said before that the little brother of his family who was admitted to the Beijing Division Camp also followed His Royal Highness to Jiangnan this time, and he reacted at once, and said with a smile: This is not yet a marriage to worship the church, you are going to take the little brother of the Wu'an Hou Mansion home for the New Year, and your master is afraid that he will not let you succeed!
Lin Fangxu was embarrassed for a while, and then said seriously: What is the matter Xu Zhao sneered, glanced at him, and thought to himself, then you have to work hard.※※※ Lin Fangxu's uncle and nephew settled in the courtyard, Xu Zhao himself went back to the main house in Hangzhou, although his unauthorized participation in the joint affair made his father and the clansmen a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to do it, and he had to call him back from time to time, ask him what he planned next, don't be affected by this pit daddy again.Xu Zhao didn't care about the rise and fall of the family, but the Xu family was already friends with the merchants, and they couldn't get along with those people, and they didn't fight in the ring over the years, and the Xu family didn't do maritime business, and his eldest brother didn't have much hidden land under his name.After reporting some news from his father and clan elders that he had heard from Lin Fangxu and could be revealed, Xu Zhao returned to the other courtyard the next day, mainly because he wanted to see how his disciples and teachers fought the Fa.It's a pity that when he saw the little brother who appeared at the gate of the courtyard on a horse and carrying a burden, Xu Zhao sighed helplessly, he couldn't watch a good show.Jiang Shiyun didn't know why, but he felt that Uncle Xu Shiyun seemed to be a little depressed, guessing that it was probably for the matter of this city tax, so he didn't delve into it, and after respectfully saluting, he asked: Uncle Xu, I heard that Lord Lin lives in your mansion?
Xu Zhao quickly came back to his senses, answered yes, and personally led him to the courtyard where Lin Fangxu was.Lin Fangxu's uncle and nephew got up early, and wanted to go out to inquire about the situation, but before he went out, he saw Jiang Shiyun walking in, and said with a look of surprise: Xiaoyun is here, but is he done?
Jiang Shiyun smiled and said: Well, when I arrived at the other courtyard yesterday, after Lord Xu and they all settled down, Commander Chen let me come over.Originally, Commander Chen asked me to bring two banners of manpower, but I thought about yesterday's incident, and it would be better to keep more people around Your Highness.Speaking of this, Jiang Shiyun smiled in his eyes and said in a sly tone: Besides, now everyone is asking to see you at the gate of the Royal Courtyard, no one pays attention to you, the champion of the six heads, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to follow alone.No problem, no problem, I'm such a little person, it's enough to have Xiaoyun protection, Brother Yuan, pack up your things, let's go now!
Lin Fangxu was so excited that he wanted to take Jiang Shiyun's hand and go in.When his hand reached halfway, Xu Zhao coughed back, only to hear his own teacher blame: What are you doing in such a hurry, I have to tell your master, where is the etiquette!
Lin Fangxu Muran glanced at Mr., he had never followed the etiquette from beginning to end in the matter of marrying a husband, if he really learned the rules and regulations of the gentleman, this jade-like person would not fall into his mouth.However, he resolutely can't admit that he is unruly and stinky and shameless, so he has to make an excuse and say: Shigong is afraid that he is very busy at this time, so don't disturb his old man because of this little thing.Xu Zhao sneered: What can your master be busy with, don't make excuses!
If you want to sneak away, there is no door, and the teacher wants to see you eat deflated this time.Jiang Shiyun looked at the master and apprentice's eyes, and did not back down, and said with a smile: Uncle Xu Shi, even if you want to say goodbye to your grandfather, I am afraid that I can only pounce, when I left the Royal Annex, I saw Wang Zhan serving His Royal Highness's order and going to pick up my grandfather in person, at this time, I am afraid that I have already arrived at the Royal Annex.Lin Fangxu saw that Xiaoyun was helping him speak, and Mr.
Xu looked like he had nowhere to be angry, and said with a smile: Yes, yes, Master and His Royal Highness are busy with business, let's leave a message.In the end, Lin Fangxu and Jiang Shiyun still went to the Shang Mansion to say goodbye, Shang Zhongyan really said goodbye to Wang Zhan Shi and took him to the Royal Courtyard, and even Shang Daoting went out to meet friends, only Zhong took his daughter at home, and he couldn't stop talking and watched the little brother of the sister-in-law's family run away with his unmarried father-in-law, really, what a mess!
Chapter 80 After Cai He and the others were appeased by Wang Xiaowen yesterday, they were still not very at ease, and the next day they took the original team to visit the other courtyard early in the morning, but they only got a reply from the guard at the door that the prince was tired of traveling and driving, and all miscellaneous matters could be discussed later.To be able to be a second-grade local leader, not to mention the ability to govern the country and the world, at least this is calm, and the mentality of not being shocked by humiliation is there.Today, yesterday, he was slapped in the face twice in front of the young owner's subordinates, but Jiang Gan could still discuss with Cai He with the same face at this time: Since this is the case, we might as well go back first, and we will all stay here and delay our official business, and it will inevitably disturb His Highness's rest.Cai He is not far behind, and even more able to pretend to be some, at this time, he can still have a worried face, and said in a sincere tone: Brother Jiang is reasonable, His Royal Highness has been working hard for days, leaving the two of them here to wait.After speaking, he ordered two subordinates and ordered: You two don't need to go back to the yamen for the time being, just stay here, if you have the opportunity, you can ask to see Wang Zhan Shi, and ask His Royal Highness what instructions he has?
As one of the joint letters, Su Zhifu, with the Tongzhi of Jinhua Mansion, stood silently at the end of the team, quietly watching them pretend, until he heard Cai He say something to ask to see Wang Zhan, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, this old fox, in the end, was still shocked by His Royal Highness's two hands, Wang Zhan is the Prince's Mansion Zhan Shi, and he can still find out what secrets of His Royal Highness can't be made from his mouth!
However, Wang Zhanshi, who they were thinking about, rode a horse with a pair of soldiers from the Beijing Division, escorted a carriage, and walked slowly.When he arrived at the gate, Wang Zhanshi did not greet everyone first, but went to the door of the carriage as soon as he got off the horse, and respectfully asked Shang Zhongyan to get out of the car.Then he smiled at Cai He and the others and said: If you have something to do, please take care of yourself, Your Highness is still waiting to see the Taifu, and Wang Mou does not dare to delay more, he is lazy, he is lazy.After finishing speaking, he pretended to reach out to help Mrs.
Shang and his old man, completely forgetting that when he went to pick up someone, this old man was full of anger, and Shang Zhongyan was also quite cooperative with him, allowing him to help him enter the door, and before entering the door, he also bowed his hand politely to everyone.Looking at the slowly closing door, Cai He's face finally darkened, and he couldn't maintain any demeanor, so he shook his sleeves and left angrily, followed by Jiang Gan, who had a sad face and sighed.The boss was gone, except for the two unlucky ones who stayed behind to find out about the enemy, the others naturally followed the pace of the leader and returned to the yamen together.On the morning of the fifth day, the gate of the royal palace was opened again, and the prince's palace personally sent Shang Zhongyan out of the door, and then ordered Wang Zhanshi to take the soldiers of the Beijing division battalion and personally send people back to the Shang mansion.When Shang Zhong arrived home and heard that his grandson had followed him to Wuyi County, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the various forces that had been staring at the situation in the other courtyard finally moved.Some people plan to go to the other courtyard to touch the nails, and some people try to take advantage of the old friendship to come to the Shangfu to explore the situation, and the city of Hangzhou, which has been silent for a few days, suddenly becomes active again, and the white clouds in the sky and the river on the ground seem to flow very fast.Whether it is Shang Zhongyan's anger or the ups and downs of Hangzhou, they have nothing to do with the pedestrians who are hundreds of miles away from Hangzhou, and the warm sun gradually rises, dispelling the cold air that is not much in the southern winter.Under the warm sunshine, Lin Chong rode a red horse, holding a white horse with no one on his back and walking at the end, and a young man in front of him was panting and following the carriage, and the carriage was not fast or slow under Lin Fangyuan's drive, for fear that the young man behind would not be able to keep up.The young man's uncle was staring at the little brother sitting opposite him with pleasure at this time, but the little brother didn't look at him, and was looking at the young man behind the right side of the carriage through the car window worriedly: Why do you have to practice martial arts, even if you really learn both civil and military skills, in these peaceful years, there is no reason to let civil officials go into battle to kill the enemy!
