After writing the letter, Zheng Lang felt extremely relaxed.

It's like a boss who watches his younger brother being beaten by the crowd, punching him on the left and kicking him on the right, and the fight is miserable. But the enemy was too strong, so he had to hold back. It is a wise thing to do, but the grief and humiliation in my heart can be imagined.

In the end, I couldn't bear it, grandma's, and I did it. Rush out all at once. I don't know what the consequences will be, but I don't feel guilty anymore.

The fact that Zhao Zhen is in the most confused time of his life, the darkest time. What has happened and what is about to happen made Zhao Zhen feel blind, but after this ordeal, Zhao Zhen gradually grew up.

If you still have to write a letter, report your safety to your family, Jiang Xing'er's letter, Si'er's letter, Cui Xian's letter, Huan'er's letter, the letter of the three students, and the letter of several other little maids. Family letters are worth thousands of dollars, and communication is not easy at this time.

Then he wrote a letter to Shi Congguang, he came in time and was about to come in handy.

asked Uncle Lu to replace Shi Congguang's work, Shi Congguang entered Beijing, and invited another box soldier, not asking for much, only asking to be able to ride a horse. Riding the Xiaoqing out of the family, the boat ride is still too slow, the horseback riding is less than 2,000 miles, and the accommodation, transition, inspection and bad weather are eliminated, and a round trip of 20 days is enough.

It's time to grab it, otherwise how would you know what happened in the capital?

It hasn't even happened yet, and you know it yourself?

This is so, god, strange!

When he can't see what happens in the future, he can be happy.

Do it, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, so if you don't get stabbed, you can't be afraid.

The confession was sorted out, as well as the letter and the fold, some utensils in Wuhu, instrument drawings, and presented to the capital together. Two yamen, a box soldier, a small official, and Uncle Lu set off together, rushed to Wuhu, and then Shi Congguang replaced Uncle Lu Sanshu, took the diameter, and went up from the water to Chaohu Lake, Luzhou, Songzhou, and Bianliang City.

Before leaving, Zheng Lang said to the four messengers: "The capital is expensive, you take a hundred yuan from my family as a travel fee." ”

"It's not good......" The corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"Go, although I am a Zhizhou, I also have a human touch."

A few errands ago moved to leave.

Zheng Lang sighed again, this kind of errand service method is never a way, such as this trip, Shi Congguang didn't think about it, he became his own doorman, and he should contribute. The other four errand officers ran down from the capital on a trip, and the state capital only gave poor Baba the passage fee, and sometimes they didn't give it, how many housework were delayed?

Sometimes I can't think about it, and when I think about it, my head gets bigger.

I really didn't think about it, there is mainly no merit in my hands, is a case considered merit? It will be next year, this time next year, and the two pears will have a bumper harvest, and it will be more powerful to say something yourself. Or the year after, even more powerful. The greater the political achievements, the heavier the weight of the speech.

If you don't move, you are yourself, and you are very fast.

Quiet as a virgin, moving as a cunning rabbit.

This is Sima Guang's evaluation of the teacher.

After dinner that night, let Lu Sanguang and the others leave.

The edict issued by Zhao Zhen was promulgated to the heads of the senior households in each county, and then ordered the senior household chiefs to measure the area of small pests and developed lakes within their jurisdictions, the depth of large and small rivers, lakes, mountains, and plains, as well as special products, and declare them one by one.

solemnly, only Taiping Prefecture in the country takes Zhao Zhen's edict so seriously.

The truth of the matter, Zheng Lang still did not say. A very funny scene appeared.,The main households don't look right.,What is Xinzhizhou going to do? Do you want to tax us. So concealing the area, Zheng Lang personally looked at it for a month, and was drawing, he didn't dare to say no, he said it was very small, a hundred acres of land was a big small polder, and he said that it was ten acres of land, and he couldn't help it, and said that it was fifty acres of land.

Some were close, and the form was handed over.

Zheng Lang said to the little official: "You give another notice to the following, just say what I said, don't hide the area, otherwise you can't blame the official for regretting it when the time comes." ”

Zhao Tongju laughed.

It's going to end up being hilarious.

A few days later, a new form came up, and after looking at it, there was not much change, and Zheng Lang asked the little official to inform him that he really couldn't hide it, and he could write as big as he was, which would be good for them. Others don't believe me, but believe me, I always walk the talk.

But concealing land property has become a kind of custom, and if you say that there is good, there will be good? After reporting it, do you really not pay the land tax? I don't believe it, the third form came up, and there was still not much change.

Zhao Tongju laughed wildly, and Zheng Lang whispered: "Zhao Tongju, this little clever can't be played." ”

It's okay to suffer a small loss, but if you suffer a big loss, these landlords will inevitably be unhappy when the time comes, and they will also pay attention to a degree of work. So the third form was returned, saying no, you can't hide the property, it's good for you, otherwise you will suffer a lot at that time. If you suffer a loss at that time, do not blame the official, please sign and draw the charge.

reminded three times, and all the rich households below, including the elders of the households, were all held by rich households, and they began to be suspicious. Months passed, and no one regarded Zheng Lang as a young man. Including the dozen or so women who were rescued.

This matter is more perfect under the handling of Zheng Lang and his wife.

At first, I patiently did the work of a dozen women, and after a few days, my mood was a little calmer. Jiang Xing'er's surname is easy-going, and she occasionally comes to talk to them, don't give up on yourself, I was no better than you at the beginning, my family was so poor that I almost couldn't open the lid of the pot, and I was forced to sell it to the Qinglou when I was a child. It's not the same now.

After a few days, these women heard about Zheng Lang's deeds, not at the beginning, and looked at her with envious eyes.

Gradually, with the exception of some women who had been locked up for a long time or had poor psychological quality, the situation was a little bad, and the other women gradually returned to normal, occasionally crying, but occasionally speaking.

Letters from the champion father, family members came from all over the world to take these women back. At least in their hands, they are people of relatively sound mind. That's it, every time Zheng Lang meets a family that comes to greet him, he once again persuades their family. Their fate is too miserable, they are in a bad mood, they should be comforted by good words when they are taken back, if they look at them with a disdainful eye, something bad will happen, it is better not to let them go, and send them directly to Zhengzhou.

Lu Gong said: "Doctor Zheng, is this the aftermath? ”

"Yes, the aftermath is not very good, and you will have to be an official in the future, not only to deal with the incident, but also to consider the aftermath caused by the incident."

Third Uncle Lu was speechless when he heard it, it seems that you yourself are going to be a saint, and you want a few students to be saints too.

Of course, Uncle Lu was very happy.

The grass and trees are withered, the water is dashing, and the autumn wind is coming.

All the victim women were taken away one by one, and even the Weaver Girl left Taiping Prefecture. Cui Xian was idle, came back from the dock, and many women sent each other one by one, what kind of master, what kind of subordinates, under the influence of the Zheng family, these weaver girls have a good temper, when they leave, they know that they will come next year, and many women who learn the craft are still reluctant.

After Zhao Tongjuan's wife returned home, she said to Zhao Tongjuan: "The Weaver Girl is gone." ”

"Hmm."

"A lot of people send each other."

"Hmm."

"Official, if Zhizhou leaves, how many people will send him off?"

"Where did you hear that?" Zhao Tongju put down the book in his hand and asked nervously. At this time, Zheng Lang can't go, a big plate of big plans, the entire Taiping Prefecture is waiting for Zheng Lang to make it degenerate.

"The concubine is just a metaphor."

"Can you make it clear?"

"Just a metaphor, why are you so nervous?"

"You'll find out later." However, Zhao Tong lost his mind slightly, he didn't want to think about this matter, a few years later, under Zheng Lang's governance, once he left, what would it look like? muttered: "I don't know where it is, I just know what it means to be a gentleman like jade." ”

After getting along for a while, that kind of gentleness, that kind of sunshine, even Zhao Tongju was infected. If others don't know, they will be reluctant to do so.

Cui Xian lay on the bed and said, "It's finally over." ”

It's been nearly three months, and I'm exhausted.

"I'll massage it for you." Zheng Lang said.

"You're so kind?"

"I'm kind, and the people of Taiping Prefecture know it."

"You are cheeky, and the people of the entire Taiping Prefecture also know."

After saying that, Zheng Lang was indeed massaging her, and his wife was very hard and not easy. It will be good until next year, and the year after will be better. I just came to Jiangnan, the weather was hot and stuffy, and I was not adaptable, but I always insisted on it, how difficult it was.

However, at the end, his hand was pounding around on the soft and smooth skin, Zheng Lang was in a trance, and his hand became lighter and lighter, from pressing to rubbing to touching.

Cui Xian jumped up, bent down and smiled, and said, "Official, are you massaging your concubine, or do you want to be a concubine?" ”

He snuggled in Zheng Lang's arms and said: "The concubine is still wearing filial piety clothes, and soon, half a year will pass in the blink of an eye." When the time comes, the officials will do whatever they want. ”

"What about the winter, I'm not honest when I sleep, my hands will move when I fall asleep......"

This problem is a bit difficult to solve.

Just as I was talking, Huan'er came in and said, "There are people outside who ask to see the officials." ”

The shouting officials are not used to shouting, and their voices become very small.

Zheng Lang stood up and let the comer in. A middle-aged man in his forties, with his wife, saw Zheng Lang, knelt on the ground and said, "Please know the state." ”

"Tell me anything in court."

"It's not a business matter, I have to go to the central government to ask for Zhizhou."

"Say it."

It turned out that he donated 400 acres of fertile land to the main household surnamed Liu in Linjiang Temple. At that time, after listening to the bewitchment of Zhishan and some other monks, and seeing the magic of Falun, he was dizzy and donated 400 acres of fertile land. I regretted it afterwards, but I also donated it, and the title deeds were handed over to Linjiang Temple, so I had to comfort myself psychologically. The other people did not speak of him, thinking that it was a beautiful talk.

If the truth is not revealed, he should seek benefits for the next life, but the truth is revealed, and he stumbles to Wuhu County. At this time, the grid hall has been built, in addition to the grid museum, there are some other shops, there are many people to see, there are smart people to see the business opportunities, build rows of houses here, there is no money so set up a small stall shouting and buying.

Squeezed in, and then looked room by room.

There are so many people who are not surprised by this kind of thing? Even the people who are far away in Jiangning, some of them also come by boat to watch, and there will be more in the future. Not much, just a few simple haha mirrors are worth a trip.

There are not only a few things in the past, but also one of the wonders of Wudang Mountain in the Ming Dynasty, where the seahorse spits out fog, which made Zheng Lang stage in advance. There are three prerequisites for shaping a seahorse on the roof, one is that it must be fully exposed to the sun with the whole house below. The second is that the room is not strong. The third is that the seahorse is hollow, which is closely connected with the housing space.

Winter is not obvious, there is no unique conditions like Wudang Mountain, but summer, including the weather at this time, can be. Every time before the thunderstorm, the climate is sultry, the cold and warm air alternate up and down violently, due to the light exposure, the humidity in the room expands, the ventilation surname is not strong, I have to spit out from the seahorse's wide open mouth, when the rain outside, the cold air that falls, sometimes can condense into mist, and even because of the transfer of upper and lower air flow, occasionally make a long whistling sound.

Since it was built, not every time it rains, it has only whistled once. The weather is getting colder, and the only way to hear it is next year. But it also scared all the tourists at the time. Look again, and the schematic is written on the wall.

There is no one who can understand it, but even the principle is said, which shows that it is not a god or an obvious spirit, but a champion who is clever and made by people. Isn't it nonsense, not made by man, but grown from the earth? But for the people now, it is very important whether it is done by man or by God.

Can these fun things keep tourists from coming?

The head of the household surnamed Liu was dazed and lost after seeing it.

None of them said that he was a good deed, but that he was a fool.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, found Zheng Lang, and asked Zheng Lang to return the 400 acres of land to him.

Wang Anshi sneered: "Who do you think Dr. Zheng is?" Be good to you, and know well. I ask you, are those lands yours? ”

The head of the household surnamed Liu was at a loss. The title deed was handed over to Linjiang Temple, how can it be said that it is his land?

"Look at what those monks have done? If it weren't for your donations, would they have the courage to do evil? ”

When it came to this matter, Wang Anshi was very angry, not only did he help and abuse him in disguise, but he flocked to obstruct him when handling the case.

Zheng Lang grabbed Wang Anshi and didn't let him speak, saying, "Liu Dalang, I gave the land to the tenant, and it is impossible to return it to you." But if you want, you'll have one more chance after a while. This is also a lesson, learn from the Lu family, do more good deeds, not to support a group of lazy and fat monks, this is what the Buddha likes to see. ”

Watching the lost couple leave, Wang Anshi said: "Doctor, they deceived you too softly, so they came to the door to make trouble." ”

"No, the villagers laugh at it, we can't laugh at it anymore, if they can't think about it, something bad may happen."

Yan Rong suddenly said: "Doctor Zheng, I don't think I will be able to be an official in the future." ”

"Why?"

"Where did I have the wisdom to think so carefully," Yan Rong said bitterly.

Zheng Lang laughed and said, "As long as you have a heart, you are a good official." ”

…… The song folded to the capital.

After telling the facts of the case again, Zheng Lang said in the recital: "Today, the temple is all over the place, and even the Fujian monks are fifty percent of the people, and there is a strange one in six points of land invasion, and there is room for Zhangzhou, and seven points in the land of one state, and the people live in one of them, and the monks live in nearly six. According to the Great Xingxiang Symbol, there are more than 5 million hectares of state-owned land, and 7 million are hidden fields and new reclamations. Temples account for fifty of them, and hundreds of people are even. ”

There are 700 million mu of cultivated land in the country, and this number is there. Then the temple will occupy one-fiftieth of the land, and it will be exceeded. The actual population of the country is nearly 100 million, and one million people are monks, nuns, and Taoists, or related planters, monks, and servants who serve.

What a staggering number!

"There are many monks and disciples, the temple is overflowing, the redundant and annihilating beetles, its momentum is said to be very much, the temple account is called the offering, the land is said to be the permanent residence, not to be served, sitting on the people, drinking blood juice in the country, especially insufficient, the Linjiang Temple case is not an example, the national temple view is more pretending to be a ghost, foolish to the people, forcing its bankrupt property to donate to nothing, or to be annihilated in the Zen temple, silver in the place of the law; Knowing nobles, bending politics and violating the law, seizing the people's garden pool, and the county order does not dare to govern; induce the people to buy contract vouchers at a low price, take advantage of the debt, and have no land to have; It is said to occupy the mountains and forests of Mizusawa. All kinds of ugly things, and so on. The country is still forbidden, and there are people who are in Fuli, and they lead their clans to the Futu clan. ”

It is the crime of the temple, there are many people, there is no servitude, and the blood juice of the people and the country is sucked. But it is not enough, many temples have incidents similar to Linjiang Temple, pretending to be gods and ghosts, fooling the people to donate incense, and donating to bankruptcy. Or lure female pilgrims to the Zen monastery, or go directly to the door and mess around in the place where the practice is done. Also, because of their great power, or because they know one or two nobles, they act as prestige, forcibly seize the property of the people, make false contracts, and lure the people of property. Or occupy the mountains. Seeing the benefits of the temple, some people are greedy for small profits, and even go to the temple. This means that this phenomenon will become worse and worse in the future.

Zheng Lang is not exaggerating at all, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, similar situations have occurred, and even novels have repeatedly recorded them.

There are good ones, but in general they are a bad group that is far greater than good.

Didn't say what to do.

There are two ways, one is to directly draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and not plant the crops of the temple for the common people. As long as the common people don't plant, these great monks are willing to get their lazy and fat bodies. What ban is not used, and the situation immediately improves.

But how many Buddhas are there in the world?

If he proposes it with a hairy child, how many people will oppose it, and it is possible that a few mothers will be able to rush over from Zhengzhou to teach him a lesson. And how to prohibit the people from renting the land of the temple? A soft edict, no one takes it as a thing at all. Only forbidden, punished by law, how big is the scratch? The consequences are by no means something that Zheng Lang can afford now.

There is another way, without an edict, the temple is not allowed to encroach on any cultivated land, let alone build a new temple. The method of boiling frogs in warm water will control the drawbacks. But does it work? More than ten years ago, the imperial court did not issue the same edict, and the temple could not see the market, what was the result?

This phenomenon is very serious, and the warm medicine has not been able to cure it, so it can only be driven away with the medicine of the tiger and wolf.

But when Zheng Lang speaks, who listens.

So put the question up, the bigwigs in the court, you see.

I also give you a chance, it just so happens that Linjiang Temple has committed a big case, see what good things the great monks have done, you can do it yourself.

I don't want to mention anything else, I don't have many friends, and everyone listens to the broken strings! Including the party items, I have said it many times, who listens to it?

Don't blame Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen is the emperor, but can he count when he speaks?

It's ridiculous to think about it. Could it be that the open cooking system came to China a thousand years in advance?

The last is the offering, afraid that the people do not understand the minister's suffering, so according to the grid, make some instruments, which have nothing to do with ghosts and gods, their movements have a certain truth, as long as there are drawings, craftsmen are skillful, can be made. Those monks used these clever things to deceive people, and by the way, they were dedicated to His Majesty.

You can also add a sentence later, after reading it, it is announced that the world will not allow anyone to use these methods to frame the people in the future. Then Yan Chen couldn't find it if he wanted to find trouble, but in order to bury the pit, he deliberately omitted this sentence.

Otherwise, how could some people take the initiative to jump down?

But there is one thing that has not been presented, a simple haha mirror. There is an example to be found, Li Zhizhi Mirror House, Liu Ren said in a book that the sky is unique, how can you get so many saints in the house. So Li Zhi destroyed it. The same is true of the haha mirror, which is not as good as the afterlife, blurry, insufficient brightness, and not large in size, but the person is deformed. You have transformed the emperor, what do you want to do?

Don't think it's easy to be a minister. If you don't get it right, you will take the initiative to get hit.

Zhao Zhen looked at the lantern, and then looked at the fish wash, which was very strange, according to the amount written by Zheng Lang, poured water, rubbed, and tried dozens of times, and finally coincidentally, sprayed water. Looking at this strange phenomenon, he still made it with his own hands, Zhao Zhen laughed.

It was the first time since the Yellow River burst that he had laughed so heartily.

After laughing, it suddenly became clear in his heart that he was not a fool, except for his surname Ge Soft, in fact, he was a very smart emperor, and he knew that Zheng Lang took the opportunity to sacrifice this thing to comfort himself in disguise. Just like he used to play the piano while reasoning to himself, it is teaching, explaining and comforting. sighed, I really wanted to bring Zheng Lang back, but think about it, it was easy to come back, and it was possible that even Zheng Lang would be trapped. Let's wait for him to be a little older.

What a hard work this emperor has done!

Zheng Lang was also satisfied, for other things, his ability was limited, so he could only let Zhao Zhen see a trace of warmth and light in this cold and ruthless second half of the year.

But on this day, Zhao Zhen was in a slightly better mood, and called several prime ministers to the palace to discuss matters, you see, the temple is so harmful, how to solve it. And he took out a few more things for everyone to see. Good things, you can't appreciate them alone, and several prime ministers have also been tired during this time.

It's also amazing.

So much so that when I returned home, several prime ministers were still discussing.

If it's not a scandal, it's really not easy to find a real scandal in Zhao Zhen.

So I talked about it.

Gradually, the news spread.

There are still many gentlemen in the capital, most of whom know Zheng Lang, and they are not very evil, but they can reach the ears of someone in Yingtianfu in Nanjing, and the fantasy version starts again.

And Zheng Lang expected him to fantasize! Without him, Yang Shang's second beautiful sister has not come out at this time, and she can't satisfy him. Didn't you give him a bullet when you offered something at this time?
