Chapter 179: Uninvited Guest

"Brother Tang. ”

Tang Long looked up and saw that it was the leader surnamed Hu Benwei Liu, who was in the registration office at the time, and he hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"I've seen adults. ”

"My name is Liu Han, Brother Tang doesn't have to be polite," Liu Han smiled slightly, walked over and stood side by side with him, looking at the blooming lotus flowers on the pond: "Look at you, what's wrong?"

Tang Long was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "My lord." ”

"Don't be so polite, let's talk casually. Liu Han interrupted him and said with a smile.

Tang Long hesitated slightly, but still replied stiffly: "Yes, my lord." ”

Liu Han smiled and shook his head, Tang Long was a little embarrassed, Liu Han didn't care: "In the past few days, Yangzhou is full of Confucian robes, but you are the only one who is willing to come, Brother Tang." ”

Tang Long hesitated and said: "I was enlightened at the age of five, and it has been eighteen years so far, my family is poor, I can't go to the academy, and I haven't participated in the tasting, it's not that I can't, but I don't want to."

The current tasting system attaches too much importance to family background, and it is difficult for children from poor families to have the step to enter the body. ”

"So, you came to apply for the job just to ask for a shortcut?" Liu Han smiled, but it was very direct and explicit.

Tang Long hesitated a little and nodded unequivocally: "My family is poor, my family can no longer support me to study, I have to find a job for myself, the family found me a job in bookkeeping, that day I entered the city, I saw this recruitment list at the city gate, I thought about it for a long time, I felt that this was an opportunity, so I came." ”

Tang Long was very frank, without the slightest twist, Liu Han nodded slightly: "Then what do you think about the tax system reform?"

Tang Long shook his head: "I don't know the content of the tax reform. ”

Liu Han sighed softly, took out a booklet and handed it to him: "This is the content of the tax system reform, you take a good look, after reading it, if you want to stay, no one blames you, you have to be willing to stay, I must warn you, you may have to pay the price of your life, however, if the tax system reform is successful, then your future will be extremely bright!"

Tang Long was both frightened and happy when he heard this, and he dragged the booklet tightly, his expression was very complicated.

After Liu Han finished speaking, he turned around and left, this needs to be chosen by himself, this pamphlet was copied by the Qin Chaxing Camp, of course, it was also his idea, and people in this era did not have this idea at all.

Gu Wei was lecturing, recuperating from his illness, Liu Han seemed to feel bored after walking around the camp, took off his official uniform, changed his body and wandered around the city; the old woman was in a small courtyard, with a girl to serve her, and she didn't worry about food and clothing every day, but she was worried; Han Cheng was in prison, and he had wine and meat every day, and suddenly the sky came down to live, which made him surprised, happy, and uneasy.

------------------------------

"Seven days of training and explanation, do you still have questions?" Gu Wei knelt down and sat on the seat, looked at the ten people below and asked.

There was no answer, just like in the past seven days, everyone was silent, there were no questions, but Gu Wei saw ridicule and contempt in their eyes.

"If there is no doubt, please go back, but first of all, the ugly words are in front, the imperial court has given Ben Qincha power, if in the process of implementing the new tax system, someone deliberately prevaricates and misinterprets, then Ben Qincha will not forgive. ”

The ten people looked at each other, their eyes met in the air, and finally someone broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "Since your lord can't believe us, why don't you just dismiss us from our posts, why bother to make another excuse." ”

"Believe it or not, whether you can believe it or not, it depends on you," Gu Wei said coldly: "That's all I have to say, please go back, adults." ”

Gu Wei's words were not polite, he got up and left, and the little boy came over to pack up the things on the desk and chased him out.

When Gu Wei left, the county magistrates suddenly felt a light pressure, but they didn't speak, and the county magistrate who spoke showed a hint of a smile and hummed: "The water is over the stone, this Lord Gu has done something, patted his buttocks, and returned to the imperial capital for promotion, we still have to be here, hum." ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and several people divided into several groups and whispered and laughed out of the camp, just at the gate of the camp, the county commanders ordered the county to go back, and they turned around and left, blatantly walking in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion.

The teahouse and wine shop were full of scholars, and the scholars were talking loudly as if no one was around, most of them were criticizing and abusing Gu Wei, and he listened to the meeting on the side, and they didn't scold anything new.

In the corner of the teahouse, the two scholars sat and drank tea, watching calmly, and did not join the scholars' discussions.

The scholar in the earth-colored robe on the left has a thin face and a short black beard on his chin, while the scholar on the right is dressed in a soap-colored embroidered gold robe, with a white face and a handsome appearance.

The two of them were silent, occasionally looking at the group of scholars, and a hint of mockery flashed in their eyes.

After the scholars talked a lot, they looked at the sky, and met to go to the green building, and the teahouse suddenly became quiet.

"It's noisy and annoying. The earth-colored robe slowly picked up the teacup, but his expression couldn't hide his disappointment.

The soap-colored embroidered gold smiled faintly: "Brother Hongxu, why should you be disappointed, although there are many people who read in the world, there are few who are wise and knowledgeable." ”

Hongxu sighed softly: "I thought that Jiangnan Wensheng would have outstanding people with romantic characters, but I didn't expect it.... , it's a pity, it's a pity, this trip is in vain. ”

"It's not like Bai Run, this Gu Wei is worthy of his reputation, and he has the courage to do so, but I always feel that this matter is a little strange. ”

"Oh, why did Zitai say that?" Hongxu was a little puzzled.

"Gu Wei, a scholar in white, in the past years, for the disaster relief victims, ran on both sides of the Yellow River, visited the scholars' homes, rescued hundreds of thousands of victims, won a great reputation, the imperial capital rumored that he wanted to participate in the autumn of the year, but he had no trace for several years, and actually regarded the tasting as nothing, and the character can be described as noble, but what is surprising is that he finally applied for the Pan Chain Mansion, which was really sighing at that time, but in a blink of an eye, this Pan Chain became the head of the ministers of Gu Ming, controlling Shangshutai, and the power of the world, this Gu Wei rose with the tide. ”

"Isn't this a good thing?" Hongxu frowned and asked, "This Gu Wei is not a person who reads the Book of the Dead, and he knows how to change. ”

"The mouth can speak, the body can act, the national treasure is also, the mouth can speak, the body can not act, the national weapon is also, the mouth can not speak, the body can do it, the country is also used, the mouth is good, the body is evil, the national demon is also." Zitai looked at Na Hongxu leisurely: "Do you say that this Gu Wei is a national treasure, a national weapon, a national use, or a national demon?"

Hongxu smiled slightly: "Therefore, a gentleman can be bullied, and it is difficult to do it in a wrong way." Is this Gu Wei a gentleman?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was silent, their voices were very small, but they couldn't hide it from Liu Han's ears and eyes, Liu Han couldn't help but look at the two of them a few more times.

He didn't bother, but continued to sit and listen, and he felt as if the two men were in favor of tax reform.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps, Liu Han didn't care, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked up and quickly glanced at a few guests who had just gone upstairs, his eyesight was naturally very powerful, and he saw a few people he knew at a glance, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Why are they here?"

I was wondering in my heart, there were also people inside who recognized him, he walked over quickly, and he hugged his fists and saluted from afar: "Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be in Yangzhou." ”

Liu Han sighed in his heart and got up with a smile: "Brother Tuoba, Brother Murong, Brother Wumeng, you are also here." ”

As soon as they enter the teahouse, they attract attention, although they are wearing the same clothes as the Jin people, but the faces and hair are obvious Hu people, there are actually a lot of Hu people in the south of the Yangtze River, Fan City and Fan Street, like Saim in Yangzhou is mixed with the wind and water, but the Hu people go to the tea house is not much,

Hu Ren was straightforward, and after a few simple greetings, he sat down, Liu Han asked Xiao'er to change a new pot of tea, and then asked, "Why are you here?

"Who has that leisure," Wumeng's voice was very loud and his voice was very rough, and the people in the teahouse looked this way.

Murong calmly noticed it, and immediately interjected: "We are going to Jiangnan to study, and it was agreed by the imperial court, after hearing about this, I wanted to come and see, so they accompanied me." ”

There were four of them, in addition to Tuoba Eagle Wumeng Murong calmly, there was also a young man named Yuwen Yu, this Yuwen Yu had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a high nose and eagle eyes, and looked at people like an eagle, aggressive.

Yu Wenyu was a little curious about Liu Han, his eyes couldn't help but look at him, Liu Han didn't care, and nodded slightly at Murong: "It's okay to come and see, our Dajin scholars like to debate." ”

"We've also seen it in the imperial capital, this scholar is troublesome, what's the meaning of talking about it there. Wumeng's voice was still so loud, and Murong looked helpless.

Liu Han agrees in his heart, this kind of debate is like a debate competition in the previous life, saying that it is useless, it is still a little useful, saying that it is useful, but it is not very useful.

However, he still shook his head: "This debate is actually a kind of confrontation, which is not much different from the battlefield confrontation on the desert, which is knife to knife and gun to gun, and this debate is the same, but it is a confrontation of ideas." ”

"A clash of ideas?"

Only Murong calmly understood, nodded thoughtfully, Tuoba Ying looked dazed, Wumeng pouted, he didn't listen at all, Yuwen Yu looked around, and the people in the building didn't dare to look at him, but that Hongxu and Zitai looked at him calmly and didn't care.

"So this Yangzhou Academy debate is a confrontation between the old and new tax systems?" Murong said calmly.

Liu Han nodded, and Murong calmly asked again: "Although this new tax system is implemented in Yangzhou, the imperial capital is also arguing, there are many opponents, and there are few supporters, Brother Liu, is this new tax system good in the end?"

Liu Han replied with a slight contemplation: "Naturally, the new tax system is good. ”

Murong calmly nodded slightly, clenched his fists and asked, "I don't understand this, and I would like to ask Brother Liu to elaborate on it." ”

Liu Han picked up the teacup, he had an instinctive defense against these Hu people, the news of the emptiness of the Great Jin Mansion Treasury was confidential, if he told them, if they were to spread to the outside of the Saiwai, what impact would it have on the ongoing battle outside the Saiwai, he was not sure.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Han put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Under the new tax system, my Hanhai Trading Company can pay less tax, do you think this new tax system is good?"

Murong smiled calmly: "Brother Liu's words are very true. ”

Liu Han sighed in his heart, this Murong is probably a big rival of Dajin in the future, looking at his appearance, it seems that he already knows the inside story.
