All the recruited soldiers lived in the same courtyard, Shi Kailongzheng quickly mingled with the first arrival, chatting in the courtyard, inquiring about the training content, Ma Ye had something on his mind, chatted with him for a while, and then left alone under the pretext of taking a walk.

Slowly walk to the backyard, between the front and back yards, there are tiger guards standing guard, and you can't easily enter the backyard without permission.

Ma Ye did not sneak in, but went directly to the door and told the guards guarding the door to ask to see Lord Liu Hanliu.

The guards looked at him and let him in without questioning, Ma Ye wondered in his heart, and went in after asking Ming Liuhan's residence.

The backyard is quite big, Ju Yi and Gu Wei live in two compounds in the west, and Liu Han lives in a small room in the east, this room is not big, there is no yard, and it faces the lake.

When Ma Ye arrived at the door, he hesitated and was about to knock on the door, when a voice came from inside: "The door is open, come in." ”

Ma Ye pushed the door in, Liu Han sat behind the desk, and the two cups of tea on the desk were wafting with the fragrance of tea.

"Sit. ”

Liu Han held a book in his hand, and his eyes were very bright in the dim light.

Ma Ye was slightly contemplative, hugged his fists at Liu Han and saluted, and said in a low voice: "King Qin's shogunate, under the tent Ma Ye, I have seen Mr." ”

Then took two steps forward and put a jade plate on the desk, Liu Han picked up the jade card and looked at it carefully, it was the letter card of King Qin, only a few people have such a letter card, and Liu Han also has it.

Liu Han nodded slightly, and Ma Ye sat down opposite Liu Han in his robe, sitting in a precarious position, without saying a word.

"What does the prince command?" asked Liu Han.

Ma Ye shook his head slightly: "The prince just let me take a look and let me decide what to do." ”

Liu Han frowned slightly, and Ma Ye explained: "Although I am willing to serve the prince, I don't walk under the prince's tent, so except for the prince's henchmen, others don't know my identity." ”

Liu Han listened silently, but there were waves in his heart, the enlightened and handsome image of King Qin was blurred in his heart, what does this guy want to do, and how many people like Ma Ye are still hidden in his hands.

"Come and see, it's so light?" asked Liu Han rhetorically.

Ma Ye nodded, very sincerely: "The prince has long been interested in reforming the evils of the world, but, first, the power is not enough, this matter is too big, even if the prince is the prince, he does not dare to do it easily; ”

Liu Han smiled faintly: "I'm afraid it's not easy for me." ”

Ma Ye was slightly stunned, remembering the advice of Qian Luan Xuan, and smiled slightly: "The adults are too careful, the ability of the adults, Lord Luan and the rhino captain are very admired, and the prince is very important to the people." ”

Liu Han smiled and didn't continue to debunk, he sighed softly: "Say, what does the prince command?"

"The prince asked me to come for two purposes, one is to assist adults, and the other is to get the first-hand situation of the implementation of the new tax system. Ma Ye said, paused to look at him and asked, "What do you think of the new tax system?"

Liu Han put down the book and looked up at him: "You really have the four grades of martial arts cultivation?"

Ma Ye's heart tightened, hesitated, and said: "The eyes of the adults are like torches, how dare you say anything in front of the adults, the four grades of martial artists, in front of the adults, what is it, the adults can pinch me to death with one finger." ”

"The fourth rank of the martial artist is also a master in the rivers and lakes, and he can also have a place in the Tiger Benwei," Liu Han said: "However, the Tiger Benwei is not trivial, don't look at me now I have a fake captain of the Tiger Benwei, but I don't dare to make any superfluous movements, and the eyes in the palace are staring tightly." ”

"I understand the difficulties of adults, and it's just a joke to enter the Tiger Benwei," Ma Ye showed a hint of a smile, which looked a little cunning: "My business, let the adults arrange it." ”

Liu Han nodded, Ma Ye relieved himself now, took a sip of water, and then looked at Liu Han, Liu Han didn't speak, staring at him silently, making his heart furious.

Liu Han naturally wouldn't believe the first-hand information about the new tax system, he was in Yangzhou, what King Qin wanted to know, just say it to himself, this is not a big deal.

This Ma Ye is not so easy to get along with, the martial artist is a mid-grade cultivator, and last time he asked King Qin for help, but he only sent a martial artist for the first time, and then gathered a bunch of messy garbage, so he was reluctant to send this Ma Ye.

However, this Ma Ye seems to be cautious, he did not sneak in quietly tonight, but came in directly through the gate, if he relied on the cultivation of the middle grade of the martial artist and sneaked in, I am afraid that he would have been killed on the spot.

"That's it, you go to the county guard's mansion, there is a case in Yangzhou Mansion now," Liu Han picked up the file from the case table and put it in front of Ma Ye, Ma Ye saw the file as soon as he sat down: "This is the case, you see, this case is closed, what should be closed, what should be released." ”

Ma Ye didn't answer, but opened the file and read it, it was the murder case of a scholar surnamed Han, he looked at it very carefully and slowly, and pondered it from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Liu Han said lightly.

"The case is not complicated, I believe that the adult has prepared witnesses, and the Lu family should not be able to escape, but, my lord, the Lu family has not moved yet, do you want to play this card now?"

"The prince wants to know how the new tax system is being implemented, to be honest, I am not optimistic, there is no public opinion and theoretical basis for the new tax system, just like you said, the emperor is too anxious and not ready, so he started.

And the new tax system is very damaging to the interests of the scholars, perhaps most of the scholars no longer care about the tax, but this tax represents the privilege of the scholars, thousands of years of privileges are about to be lost, how can the scholars give up, look at it, this is just the beginning, there is still a need to play.

I am asking you to try this case now, just to take precautions and warn the Lu family that it was Lu Kang who instructed the killing, but he did not kill people himself, and he can get away with it. ”

"I understand, my lord, this is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, tell the Lu family, be honest. Ma Ye said.

Liu Han nodded, and Ma Ye said again: "If that's the case, I'll go to the bright place." ”

"There are many smart people in this world, and if you say Gu Wei, you are stupid? and in the palace, there are some refined people, so it is better to do the opposite. Liu Han's tone was light.

Ma Ye thought for a while, nodded and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"Okay, let's go back, I've been away for too long, I'm worried about making people suspicious. Liu Han said.

Ma Ye took out a piece of jade Ruyi and put it on the desk, Liu Han smiled and teased: "It's so beautiful, but what do you want to give?"

Ma Ye showed a hint of ridicule: "The subordinates are naturally prepared, and they don't bother with it." ”

Liu Han picked up the jade Ruyi and played with it in his hand casually: "This is the craftsmanship of Wu Qing, the second blocker of Mingyuzhai in Beijing." ”

"Adults are as wise as torches, admire, admire. Ma Ye really admired it this time, he could see Ming Yuzhai at a glance at such a casual glance, and he also recognized whose craftsmanship, this vision and knowledge, at least he didn't.

"Insight, hehe, but I've seen too much, you forgot, I also open a jewelry store, Ming Yuzhai is our opponent, Ming Yuzhai seven big blockers, each of the specialties, shortcomings, I know it clearly, this shopping mall is like a battlefield, not a little sloppy. ”

Liu Han said and threw Yu Ruyi to him, Ma Ye took it and put it in front of Liu Han, Liu Han shook his head: "You underestimated the sentence, you come to me tonight, tomorrow you will know the sentence, in two days, I will create an opportunity for you to see him alone, and then give this to him." ”

"I know that adults are rich, and this is mainly a cover-up...."

Liu Han didn't let him finish, so he interrupted him: "If you want to cover up, draw a snake to add to it!" Take Gu Wei as a fool, if you have this kind of thought, it's best to go back now." ”

Ma Ye was silent, put away Yu Ruyi, got up to say goodbye, and after going out, he turned around and closed the door, and walked a few steps, a light breeze blew, and his back was cold.

Whether it was Luan Xuan or Xi Feng, they all reminded him that he must be cautious in front of Liu Han and never be smart.

Tonight, just a short time of half a burnt incense, the two sides talked casually, but in fact, Liu Han put huge pressure on him, almost making him lose his mood and completely collapse.

Back in the courtyard, the lights in Shi Kailongzheng's room had been extinguished, and the two of them had obviously fallen asleep, so he opened the door, lit the lamp, and had a few more books on the desk.

After a simple freshening up, he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply sat down on the desk and began to read.

These books are actually the regulations of the new tax system, and the other two are compiled from discussions in the last few days.

Most of the contents of the pamphlets on the new tax system were known to him, but it was the discussion of the two books that attracted him more and made him more interested the more he read them.

Various questions were raised during the discussion, such as the statistics of the population, the servants and shadows of the wealthy families of the nobles, and whether these were included in the statistics, because of the privileges of the nobles, these people were not subject to poll tax before.

Statistics or not statistics, the debate is very fierce, and the final unification is to be included in statistics, the decisive role is a question raised by Liu Han, whether these people want to eat, if they want to eat, they must be counted.

Ma Ye paid close attention to Liu Han's remarks in the booklet, and he found out Liu Han's remarks, some of which made his eyes shine.

"With great power comes great responsibility, and the emperor has supreme power, but he also has to bear the responsibility for the safety of the world. ”

"The more wealth, the more responsibility, paying taxes is the specific responsibility of the subjects, the sage said that those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, this is misinterpreted, the sage never said that those who work hard do not pay taxes. ”

"It is the responsibility of the subjects to pay taxes, and the more wealth they have, the more taxes they should pay. ”

.............

"This is simply a deviant and a misinterpretation of the words of the saints. ”

The more Ma Ye looked at it, the more excited he became, and before he knew it, he finished reading it, closing the book, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the prince attached so much importance to this person, Luan Xuan said that this person had his own strategy in his chest, and Xi Feng said that he had a top-grade grandmaster cultivation.

This kind of talent is not too much to learn, even if it is in charge of the court.
