Chapter 254: The Guozi Prison is empty
Guozijian is at the foot of Jiming Mountain, the environment is beautiful, the trees are clustered, especially the locust tree, it is very huge, the locust tree is also called the national acacia, it is the tree of the minister, the Guozijian as the highest institution, the natural wide planting of the national acacia, hope that the students can become the pillars of the country.
Of course, the wish is good, but it is difficult to say what the students are. Moreover, Liu Chun had a conflict with Tai Student in the Temple of Literature because of Yang Zhu's matter. There was also a lot of turmoil, this time he came to the country, and he was ready to kidnap people, anyway, Lao Zhu gave him the royal flag, and he had Lan Yu's family in his hand, so it was a big deal to arrest people directly!
Liu Chun doesn't care much about reputation, it's better to fall out with the literati, anyway, what he does is to offend the literati, and now that he has fallen out, it is equivalent to taking a preventive shot in advance, even if anyone wants to harm himself in the future, it will not be so easy.
Along the way, I thought about several sets of scripts and prepared to do it at the right time.
But Liu Chun did not expect a scene, when he came to Guozijian, there were hundreds of students standing outside, all of them were neatly dressed, and some of them even had been dressed up, all of them were very formal.
When Liu Chun appeared, one of the inmates led by him took the initiative to salute.
"Student Liu Zheng, meet Master Tongzhi!"
Behind Liu Zheng, the other Tai students saluted one after another and showed great respect to Liu Chun.
The blue crescent moon who followed Liu Chun had little stars in his eyes, Liu Lang is amazing, look, these arrogant prisoners regard themselves as disciples, it is really breathtaking, don't say anything, Liu Lang is capable!
Liu Chun didn't feel so good about himself, he coughed lightly, "Do you know the official's intention?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Guan walked over with a smile from the side.
"I came to tell the big guy about it after I heard about it."
Liu Chun was shocked, and said in his heart Huang Guanxing, relying on the name of six yuan, how could these students be stunned for a while, why did they all come to greet me?
Seeing Liu Chun looking at him with a strange face, Huang Guan hurriedly coughed.
"That's the case, I told you, it is Lord Liu who adheres to the emperor's order to reform the tax law and implement the new system, everyone is happy, and has been waiting for Lord Liu to come over to select talents!"
Liu Chun was quite surprised, "Are you all willing to go?" If you follow me, you'll suffer, and it's still dangerous! ”
Liu Zheng is the student standing at the front, he is not very old, he is dark and thin, but his eyes are clear and his eyes are bright.
He said aloud: "My generation of scholars, set up a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people!" The common people are already suffering from the exploitation of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and people of insight all want to reform the tax law. In order to change the law, even if you are broken to pieces, what are you afraid of! ”
After listening to this, Liu Chun smiled slightly.
"The tone is not small, but the ambition is even greater!" Liu Chun's face turned cold, and he muttered: "You said that people of insight all advocate changing the law, where did you hear it?" Who told you that? ”
Liu Zheng said proudly: "It's the student's master, Fang Xiaoru!" ”
"Ahh
Liu Chun was really shocked, Lao Fang, he was very miserable by Liu Chun at the beginning, not to mention that he was beaten, his plan was devalued by Lao Zhu, and even said that this person was unusable.
Lao Fang's career almost ruined Liu Chun.
However, at the last longevity ceremony, Liu Chun heard that Fang Xiaoru was introduced by a friend and went to the Shu Palace, became a lecturer, and taught knowledge. is quite respected by the King of Shu, and I have to say that some people are Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.
As for Liu Zheng, he worshiped under Fang Xiaoru in his early years, and as we all know, Fang Xiaoru was a staunch supporter of Juntian, and he even hoped to restore Wang Tian and achieve eternal peace.
His disciple can say such things.
However, Liu Chun and Fang Xiaoru have a grudge after all.
"Are you really willing to participate in the change?"
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Doesn't Lord Liu doubt the sincerity of the students? Master strongly advocates the suppression of the merger, as a disciple of the master, I should be smeared with the liver and brain of the new law, and I also ask Lord Liu not to doubt it. ”
Liu Chun looked at it for a while, nodded, walked to the middle of those students again, and asked a little, and the big guys were all angry, each more enthusiastic than the other.
After walking around, Liu Chun also made a fuss.
These students, in fact, are also young people, full of enthusiasm, eager to immediately show their strength, govern the family and the country, leave their names in history, and let future generations admire and worship...... Everyone knows that the tax system of Daming is unreasonable, and Liu Zheng is from Suzhou, so he feels it even stronger.
He felt that Liu Chun's ability to move His Majesty and promote the change of the law was the greatest credit...... As for the grievances between him and his master, they cannot override national affairs. And he also believes that even if Mr. Fang is here, he will approve of his choice.
Liu Chun re-arrived in front of Liu Zheng, he waved his hand, "Come and sit down!" ”
After speaking, Liu Chun sat on the ground, Liu Zheng hesitated a little, and also sat down, but in the crowd, there were many students who were too dirty and unwilling to sit down.
Liu Chun smiled slightly, sure enough, everyone has hot blood, but once you play it, you may not be able to get hot.
"I am very pleased that everyone is willing to devote themselves to changing the law. But there are some things that I have to say clearly, and I want you to think about them as well. What is the core of this change? It is to abandon the tax on people and turn to land as the object of taxation, to put it bluntly, it means that more land is taxed, and less land is less taxed! And those who have no place to stand will not have to pay taxes. Also, I even thought about imposing a large household tax on a certain number of large households, in other words, using taxes to inhibit mergers and maintain the fairness of land. ”
Liu Chun said it in layman's terms, Liu Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he listened to his words, isn't this exactly what the master wants? The Lord Liu in front of him is really extraordinary!
Liu Zheng heard Liu Chun's inquiry, he wanted to open his mouth to express his opinion, but was preempted by another student, his name was Long Rong, after giving a salute to Liu Chun, he was very excited and said: "My lord said it too well, more and more officials and wealthy families, annexing land, escaping taxes and servitude, the burden of the people is getting heavier and heavier, the land of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, we often see homeless people." Lord Liu, you have such a good suggestion, why don't you ask Your Majesty to issue it all under heaven? You only implement it in Changsha Prefecture, do you prefer Changsha? ”
Long Rong blushed and said: "My hometown also has to change the law, not only my hometown, but also many places, all have to reform the law, I think at least it should be implemented in Huguang, just Changsha is not enough!" Adult, if you want to change the law, you have to break the law, can't you learn from a woman with small feet? ”
Long Rong was still an upright and acute person, and after saying it, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly apologized to Liu Chun.
Liu Chun chuckled and waved his hand, "You just asked me why you executed it in Changsha, I can tell you that the king of Changsha Tan has just died, and His Majesty will return the land under the name of King Tan to the people." As the so-called newcomers and new methods, we can use these fields to verify whether the new law is feasible or not! Changsha is not rich, nor poor, not big, not small, both agricultural and commercial, in the Ming Dynasty state capital, is relatively representative. If the problem of Changsha can be successfully solved, other state capitals can refer to it and promote the reform of the law, and it will be much smoother! ”
Liu Chun walked in front of Long Rong and said calmly: "You just said that I can't learn from a small-footed woman, but I have a different opinion. You guys also think about it, do things, you might as well set up big ambitions, for example, I want to take the top prize, I want to win the toad palace. That's right, but when you really do it, you have to set a small goal first! For example, during the county examination, the case is the first, the government examination is the first case, and the hospital examination is the first...... These small goals have been achieved, and you can be the same as our six-dollar husband, right? ”
Huang Guan shook his head angrily, you kid will talk about changing the law when you talk about changing the law, what are you doing with me?
The students present couldn't help but laugh.
The head of the case is not so good, don't care about the exam, if you can pass it, you will burn high incense, that guy in Huangguan is not a person at all, he is the god of the exam, and he has a fairy aura on his body!
When many people saw Huang Guan coming to Taixue, they all wanted to get closer, rub some fairy energy, and look forward to the blessing of Wenqu Xing. Huang Guan recently went out, and he didn't bring any accessories with him, because he didn't bring it, and when he walked all the way back, there was nothing left!
The big guys got serious after laughing.
They gradually felt that there was indeed something unusual about Liu Chun.
"You are too students, you all have the opportunity to become officials, and according to the current regulations, officials can be exempted from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. I want to ask you to think clearly, after this change, the gentry will have to pay the grain in one piece, and you will be no exception, and in order to set an example, all those who go to Changsha to implement the law change must take the initiative to give up the privilege of tax exemption and put themselves on the same status as ordinary people. ”
Liu Chun said from the bottom of his heart: "Since ancient times, people who make rules want to exclude themselves, and they all feel that others have broken the rules, not themselves!" But have you ever thought about it, from the beginning of your examination to show talent, to the promotion of people, to the entry of officials, this step by step, unconsciously, you have undermined the fairness of the tax law. It's easy to restrain others, but it's hard to restrain yourself! So...... I'll give you three days to think about it, and if you're still willing to participate in the change, I'm waiting for you! “
Three days was outrageously short.
Liu Chun sighed and came out of the room, Lan Xinyue was waiting outside, and handed over a handkerchief board very intimately. Liu Chun wiped his face and said casually, "Is anyone coming?" ”
Lan Xinyue shook her head, for three days, no one came!
"Those poor sour will talk big and brag! Or I'll take people and tie them all up! ”
is worthy of Lan Yu's daughter, and her style is really similar.
But...... Something is wrong!
The change was made by His Majesty, and if you can participate in it, you will definitely be favored by the Son of Heaven.
No matter how stupid these scholars are, none of them will not come, aren't you afraid that Lao Zhu will be angry and drive all the prisoners home, and you will never be allowed to become officials?
Just as Liu Chun was thinking about it, suddenly the third master strode over, and his nose was crooked.
"Stinky boy, what did you do again? Hundreds of people are surrounded by hundreds of people outside our house, all looking for you! ”
Liu Chun was scared, hundreds of people? They are all here, and the prison of the country is not empty!
