in the apse.

Zhao Hao didn't know that Jiangnan Company had just made a circle on the ghost gate. If it weren't for Lin Run's more important opponents, maybe he would have ordered him to hand over the cement formula on the spot.

This is completely irresistible to the current Zhao Hao. Lin Run only needs to send an army to take over Xishan Island. Could it be that his gunslinger battalion really dares to fight with the army of the imperial court?

At that time, the secret of cement will naturally be hidden, and Jiangnan Company will not have such a sharp weapon to expand its territory.

Zhao Gongzi, who was unaware of Lin Run's thoughts, was still thinking about whether to take over this big project.

Of course he is willing, so that he can incorporate the entire Su Song into the system of Jiangnan Company.

But Zhao Hao didn't show any joy on his face, but said with a frank smile: "This kind of thing, Zhongcheng has to discuss with Chairman Hua." The younger generation's interest is only in science, and they don't understand business things. ”

This answer was not surprising to Lin Run.

After knowing that Zhao Gongzi only had two points of shares, he didn't realize how much power this young man could have in Jiangnan Company.

In Lin Zhongcheng's view, the gentry of the Hua family and the Wang family are the real people of Jiangnan Company. And Zhao Gongzi was only included in the small circle because of the invention of cement and his father and godmother's identity.

This is also an important reason why Lin Run did not regard Zhao Hao as an opponent. If he knew that Zhao Gongzi was the real master of Jiangnan Company, I am afraid that he would have to put aside the big things at hand and deal with this demon first.

A teenager has the ability to swallow Jiangnan, so that he can pay it back when he grows up, I'm afraid that the whole Ming Dynasty is not enough for him to toss.

With a thought, he let go of Zhao Hao, and also temporarily let go of Jiangnan Company.

In the following ten years, no one has such a vision as Lin Run. Ten years later, when the governor realized this, the Jiangnan Company had become a general trend, and the Zhongcheng master could only cry out in vain, bow down and be small.

It can be seen that anyone in this world who can achieve great things must have great luck, otherwise if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can only end up in failure.

~~

Lin Run believed Zhao Hao's nonsense, so he naturally stopped forcing it, and only asked him to talk to Nahua Taishi. Tell Chairman Hua that he will visit him another day to discuss the matter in detail.

Just when Zhao Hao thought that the review should be over, he heard Lin Zhongcheng say leisurely:

"To solve the flood, it is always better to block than to sparse. If the entire river basin is not dredged, no matter how high the embankment in Kunshan County is, there is a risk of flooding sooner or later. ”

"Don't worry about this, Pan Zhongcheng has designed a plan for us. As soon as the water level exceeds the warning line, a temporary sub-embankment can be erected on the embankment, unless the city of Suzhou is sunk, otherwise we are safe. ”

"You're beggar-thy-neighbor." Lin Run pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "I think I am holding back my strength to take revenge on Wu Jiang and Huating." ”

"We don't have that kind of thought, but they beggar-thy-neighbor every year, drowning us enough." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "You can't just allow them to be the first year of junior high school, and not allow us to do the fifteenth, right?" ”

"To completely solve the flood of Taihu Lake, we can't learn from Cang, but we must learn from Dayu and dredge all waterways." I heard Lin Run say in a deep voice.

"Zhongcheng is wise. We in Kunshan definitely support it, and Kunkaisi is also ready to adopt the method of widening the river channel, cutting and straightening the bend, and binding the water and washing the sand in accordance with the plan designed by Pan Zhongcheng when repairing the south embankment of the Wusong River, so as to double the water crossing capacity of the Wusong River in Kunshan County! ”

"This move is certainly commendable, but what's the use of you tossing in Kunshan?" Lin Run couldn't help but laugh and said: "And if you finish like this, the floods in other counties will be more serious!" ”

Kunshan is low-lying and has always been the flood discharge area of Susong. If Kunshan were to be surrounded by dikes, where would the floodwaters from Taihu Lake go? It can only be flooded elsewhere.

"It's no wonder that we do." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Pan Zhongcheng gave a plan before, digging a Taipu River from Wujiang to divert floodwater, but Wujiang and Huating didn't do it. In desperation, we had to work hard to build the embankment. ”

"This official's trip is here to solve this matter." Lin Run waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Next, I will go to Songjiang to see if I can mobilize them to give up some of the polders and let this hospital dredge the lower reaches of the Wusong River." ”

"That's great." Zhao Hao offered his sincere blessings and said: "Lord Zhongcheng will definitely be no problem when he comes out!" ”

"It's not that easy." But seeing Lin Run smile bitterly, he sighed: "Most of the land in Songjiang belongs to Xu Ge's hometown, and the remaining half is also closely following the Xu family, as long as Xu Ge doesn't nod, this thing can't be done." ”

"......" Zhao Hao glanced at Lin Zhongcheng strangely, and said in his heart, why are you talking to my little child's family.

Yes, we had some misunderstandings in the past. But now this son and Xu Ge are doing well, his son works for me, and my grandson studies with me, I don't want to wade into this troubled water......

"But this hard bone, if you don't gnaw it, you can't do it." Lin Run didn't care about him, and continued to take care of himself: "After this court took office, it has been vigorously promoting the grain in the south of the Yangtze River, the government and the people, and so far the land of the nine mansions has been completed, only the Songjiang mansion has not yet been cleared. ”

"This court has repeatedly ordered the prefect of Songjiang to clear the acres of fields, but they have all been shirked for various reasons. All the prefectures are looking at Songjiang, and if they don't complete the Qingzhang for a day, the so-called 'Jiangnan Grain Equalization, Government and People's One Rule' will never be realized. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, and suddenly had a sense of experiencing history.

Only then did he realize that the tax reform of the Ming Dynasty had reached the most critical moment.

The country is poor, the treasury is cleaner than Zhao Gongzi's face, and the tax system of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it must be changed.

At this time, Jiangxi had already begun to try out a whip method. The provinces are also making different attempts at tax reform, and all knowledgeable and responsible officials are groping for how to increase the income of the imperial court and reduce the flight of the people.

As long as Jiangnan can be reformed, the whole country can also be implemented smoothly, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to continue this breath and extend it for another 180 years.

If Jiangnan is not reformed well, the death of the country is just around the corner.

So Lin Run and his predecessors have been looking for the most suitable new tax system for Jiangnan. After the continuous attempts of several governors of Yingtian, they finally found the right path of reform - the government and the people are one, and the land is evenly grained!

The so-called 'one rule for the government and the people, and the same grain for the whole land' has two meanings, one is to treat the official land that originally belonged to the state as the same as the people's land, and pay taxes and grain according to the same standards.

The second is to spread taxes and consumption into the acres. If there is a field, there is a gift, if there is more land, it will be heavy, if there is less land, it will be light, and if there is no field, there will be no endowment.

In this way, the common people and the country will benefit greatly, but only the interests of the powerful landlords will be harmed.
