Text: Chapter 95: Trivial Matters

The results on the school field are finally available. Wei Mengqiang performed an ancestral trick, his left halberd ran to Fang Zhizhong's face door, and Fang Zhizhong habitually sealed it with a stick, but Wei Mengqiang twisted the halberd fork and locked his iron rod. Fang Zhizhong twisted hard, but he didn't expect Wei Mengqiang's right hand halberd to point to the ribs, his body twisted sharply, and the fat robe was hung by the halberd fork, tearing a hole, Wei Mengqiang won.

After winning, Wei Mengqiang was in a good mood, looking at Fang Zhizhong, which was particularly pleasing to the eye, hanging up the double halberd "haha" and said with a smile: "Good man, a little worse than me, I often come to play two tricks with my old Wei when I have time, and it is enjoyable." ”

Fang Zhi was not convinced, but his clothes were indeed torn, so he had to muffle himself. The two came to Jiang Anyi and the others and jumped off the horse. Shizi looked at Fang Zhizhong, and liked it from the bottom of his heart, this invincible fierce general was his own, and he had to express it, and immediately smiled: "Zhizhong, I see that you don't have a horse, so this yellow fat horse will be given to you." ”

Wei Mengqiang is strange, the prince looks down on gold and silver and other things, but he cherishes BMW's good weapons, and he is unwilling to ride a yellow fat horse for a while on weekdays, why is he so generous today. Immediately after hearing that Fang Zhi was in the guard, Wei Mengqiang suddenly realized and said: "This dare is good, I have been idle to the point that my bones are loose, and finally someone can pass the trick." ”

Fang Zhizhong is also a martial idiot, he doesn't value the brigade commander very much, he is happy to be able to fight with Wei Mengqiang often, and secretly holds his breath, next time he must beat this beard down.

When Wei Mengqiang heard that Jiang Anyong was also going to join the guard, he looked at him with disdain, and said: "There is no meat on his body, what can he do when he goes to the guard, wipe knives and guns, and raise horses?" ”

Jiang Anyong was furious, he promised himself martial arts in the countryside, except for his brother and Fang Zhizhong, he really looked down on a few people. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Jiang Anyong jumped on his big red horse, played a trick on the horse, and asked for a pair of bows and arrows from the guards on the sidelines.

Le Ma came to Wei Mengqiang's side and asked angrily, "How?" ”

"That's it, archery can barely look at it, first go to my command as a soldier for a few days, and you will know how many bowls of rice you will eat." Wei Mengqiang said unceremoniously.

Wei Mengqiang took the two newcomers to change their clothes, and Jiang Anyi followed the prince back to the house. Shi Fangdao's attitude was much closer, and he said: "Anyi, you came to Renzhou this time to clear the fields, if there is anything you want me to help with, just ask." "If the Anyang Royal Mansion helps, the Qingzhan can relieve a lot of pressure, Jiang Anyi solemnly thanks.

After eating and coming out of the palace, Jiang Anyi felt a sense of relief, Fang Zhizhong and his younger brother had a serious place to go, and they also had a matter on their minds. Unbeknownst to him, the real trouble had just begun.

Just after Shen Shi, Liu Yushan found the inn and said with a smile: "Anyi, let Master Shiyu set up a banquet at night to catch the wind, and let me accompany me." ”

The banquet was set up in Yu Zhijie's Qing War Envoy Yamen, the front house and the back house were the rules, Yu Zhijie lived alone, and Liu Yushan's home was not in Anyang Mansion, so he also lived in the house. The others had not yet arrived, and many of the houses were empty, ready for the deputy envoys of Kiyota, who had no land to live in.

These days, Liu Yushan and Yu Zhijie get along well, Yu Zhijie likes this young man who is brave enough to do things, and he is Anyi's classmate and friend, so he also treats him as a nephew, and he is very casual in private. Four dishes and one soup, three people sit, eating and talking.

Liu Yushan briefly introduced the matter of clearing the acres of land to Jiang Anyi: "Renzhou has jurisdiction over 62 counties, with 673,256 households, a population of 34,210,000 and 1,378, and the number of acres of land recorded by Renzhou Prefecture is 250,000 hectares. Jiang Anyi secretly smacked his tongue, Renzhou deserves to be Zhongzhou, more than twice the population of Texas.

"Master Yu copied from the household department that ten years ago, the number of acres of land in Renzhou was 260,000 hectares, which means that in the past ten years, the fields in Renzhou have decreased by nearly 10,000 hectares instead of increasing." Liu Yushan took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and continued: "There is no problem with the number of acres on the books, the key is that there is more than one wasteland reclaimed in the past ten years, and there must be cases of concealment and omission. ”

Seeing Yu Zhijie's encouraging eyes, Liu Yushan became more and more excited, obviously he had worked hard, and a string of data came from his mouth, and the number of fields, land, mountains, dang, and wei could even be accurate to the minute. Yu Zhijie was greatly appreciative and said with a smile: "Yushan is honest in doing things, and you have taken the lead among the ten people." Anyi, you are my student, you can't lose face as a teacher. ”

Jiang Anyi has never done practice, and listening to the data in Liu Yushan's mouth is big, which is really not as easy as reading. Master Yu spoke, so naturally he couldn't show weakness, and pretended to agree with confidence.

Yu Zhijie toasted the two of them and said, "You can't just look at the data on the account book, you have to go down to the actual place and check it specifically." Based on my many years of experience as an official, the disadvantages of this field can be divided into three main categories. The field is divided into three grades, the upper grade, the middle and the lower grade, according to the law of the Great Zheng levy field tax on the basis of the superior field, per mu to take the land tax one bucket two liters of money 15 Wen, and the medium field folds nine points, the inferior field folds eight points, the determination of the field is often the biggest drawback. Some people tried to turn their fields into inferior ones, and the county officials also made it easy for them to make profits. ”

"What can I do? There are so many fields in Inju, we can't really go to every acre of fields? Liu Yushan asked with a frown.

"Only according to the records of previous years, and then spot check one or two, severely punish some lawbreakers, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, there will always be some results." Yu Zhijie has made a county order, and naturally knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and it is impossible to really sweep away the drawbacks.

Jiang Anyi couldn't interject, filled the wine for Master Yu and Master Liu, listened to their conversation silently, and thought about what he should do.

Yu Zhijie's expression was a little serious, and he continued: "The second is the exemption and postponement of tax on newly reclaimed land and poor mountain and bad land, and there are many ways to do this, and when you go to the county to investigate, you will understand that there are many difficulties. ”

"The third is the most difficult, and it is also the biggest obstacle to this clearance. The powerful families took advantage of the state's right to be exempted from land taxes to annex and embezzle a large number of good families' fields, and some people were willing to hang their fields in the names of these people in order to covet some petty profits. Although Renzhou is only Zhongzhou, it is a rich land of famous fish and rice, and the Anqi Li family has been operating here for more than 200 years. There is also an upstart like Yi Yongbo who has a fiefdom in Renzhou, which is difficult. ”

Yu Zhijie let out a long sigh, Liu Yushan stroked his forehead, and then sighed, and said: "Although Li Tingshi is not from the Anqi Li family, he is also connected with the Li family. ”

Remembering that Wang Shizi of Anyang said that he was willing to help, Jiang Anyi said excitedly: "Master Yu, I will come to meet Wang Shizi of Anyang in the afternoon, and Shizi told me that he can help with the matter of fighting for acres of land." ”

"Oh", Yu Zhijie's depressed mood cheered up, and said with a smile: "I also heard your "Dotted Lips" at the birthday banquet in Beijing, the name of the Jiangnan Little Word Fairy is like thunder, when will I write a poem for the teacher." ”

Yu Zhijie rarely laughed at Jiang Anyi and said, "Tell me specifically, what His Royal Highness the Prince said." ”

Jiang Anyi told him about attaching his righteous brother Fang Zhizhong and his younger brother Jiang Anyong to the palace as soldiers, Liu Yushan was full of joy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect An Yi to have such a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be great if His Royal Highness the Prince could help." ”

Yu Zhijie said with a calm face: "Anyi, why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big matter, you were too hasty in this matter." ”

Jiang Anyi and Liu Yushan were both stunned, being able to get in touch with Wang Shizi of Anyang was of great help to the Qing Dynasty this time, why was Master Yu unhappy.

Looking at the two confused juniors, Yu Zhijie sighed and decided to tell them the truth. Yu Zhijie said: "King Anyang is the uncle of today's son, and King Anyang was once rumored to inherit the throne, how could the Son of Heaven have no scruples about him." An Yi entrusted his righteous brother and younger brother to the prince of Anyang, which undoubtedly expressed to the world that he was close to the king of Anyang, what did the Son of Heaven think? ”

"The sea rises and falls, and you can't make a mistake. An Yi, you have just entered the officialdom and are not clear about these things, you must know that what you do today is likely to ruin your good future. Yu Zhijie looked at his beloved disciple and sighed long.

Yangyi Village, Linfeng Xuan stands by the lake, half of it is on the water surface, and the cool breeze enters the house through the water surface, which is exceptionally cool. The king of Anyang reclined on the brocade couch and listened to his son's diligent recounting of Jiang Zhuangyuan's entrustment of his righteous brother and younger brother to him, without saying anything.

Shi Fangdao talked for a long time, his tongue was dry and irritable, he picked up the tea and drank it, and saw that his father seemed to be asleep, and said depressedly: "Old man, can't you praise your son a few words, how beautiful this thing is, the champion of Sanyuan and the first, Jiangnan Xiaozixian, I am excited to think about it." ”

King Anyang glanced at his son lightly and said, "What are you boasting about, praising you for being a virtuous corporal, do you have the style of a virtuous king, and the posture of a dragon and phoenix?" ”

Shi Fangdao shook, there was something in his father's words, what did he mean, was this matter inappropriate. Standing upright and looking at his father, he knew that his father's stomach was not fat, it was full of twists and turns.

King Anyang saw that his son was clever, and his happy face did not show it, and he still said with a light expression: "If you really like this Jiang Anyi, you don't have to deliberately avoid him, you can eat, drink and have fun together, anyway, you are a gentleman, but your father reminds you not to talk about business, let alone help him in clearing the fields." In a word, it's okay to play, but not to do business. ”

The gong does not need a heavy hammer, Shi Fangdao immediately understood, a trace of resentment flashed on his face, and then changed to a smiling face, and said informally: "Dad, I heard that Banzai has sent you eight more singers, and my imperial brother has great respect for you, the uncle." My son has patronized and offered you a treasure, and he hasn't eaten dinner yet, so let's watch it while we eat. ”

King Anyang laughed and said, "Yes, singing and dancing are leveling, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, call all your brothers, and our master will be happy." ”

Hearing that he was going to be with the three brothers, Shi Fangdao's smiling face fell, and he said with a bitter face: "Father, didn't you put your son on the fire to roast?" My good brothers want to eat me. ”

"Look at your appearance, my father sat on the volcano and lived differently back then." King Anyang sat upright, and in an instant, he was heroic.
