Chapter 1015 This Duke of Wei is too cloudy!
Liangjiang Governor's Mansion
All the staff circulated the mansion newspaper in their hands, and their expressions gradually became dignified.
The head secretary Kuang Shouzheng gasped, and the hand holding the Dibao was trembling slightly.
Four new laws?So where is Dong Weng's whip technique?
The judge, Wu Xiancheng, also twisted his beard under his chin, under the gray eyebrows, his old eyes were full of shock.
Wu Xiancheng frowned when he saw that the fire was returned to the public, and suddenly remembered that when he was in the governor's office in Sichuan, he went to eastern Sichuan to investigate. First, when it is melted and cast into official silver, some fire consumption cannot be borne by the court.
Every time I think about it, I feel like I have a thorn in my throat, but the fire consumption involves a lot of things, and it can be said that the subordinates are tied to food and clothing, so it is not easy to talk to the master of Taiwan to depose him.
As for the worry of lack of silver, there is no shortage of silver in the land of Bashu, and there are no disadvantages mentioned in the memorials.
Now that I think about it, this is the transfer of silver from one country to the region of Bashu, only to be effective.
The fire consumption is returned to the public, and all the new policies are distributed to the parents. After reading it, I am even more amazed and secretly praised.
In fact, Jia Heng's four new policies, such as the return of fire consumption to the public, can be put on the hat of benevolent government such as light corvee and low tax.
Of course, in addition to the tax reform measures of robbing the rich and helping the poor, such as dividing the households into the mu, and making the gentry secretly scold, as for the two policies of abolishing the two reforms and returning the fire to the public, these two policies are not to cut the flesh of the gentry, but to prevent tigers and wolves The official hands up and down when collecting taxes.
What is reduced is the floating fees and excess apportionment in the taxation process. These are all benevolent policies that cannot be criticized.
There is only a property tax policy, such as dividing the land into acres, and people with a discerning eye only pay the head tax based on the amount of land, which is painful at first glance.
Although it wasn't Emperor Wu's order to sue, it was not bad.
At this time, Gao Zhongping's second son, Gao Bo, frowned and said, "Father, can these really solve the disadvantage of whipping?"
Gao Zhongping said with emotion: "One whip method does not abolish the two reforms, and the policy of returning the fire to the public cooperates. After a long time, the treacherous officials will still be opportunistic. Duke Wei's strategy is very good."
Hearing this, Gao Bo said indignantly: "Father, if there was no father's whip, how could this Duke of Wei do it. This is the merit of greedy heaven. Now the whole big man has made him flourish."
Gao Zhongping frowned, and said softly: "Don't speak nonsense."
But these words also caused ripples in the hearts of Wu Xiancheng and others, and a strange look appeared on their faces.
Originally, he carried out this policy and returned to Beijing with a high reputation. At that time, the position of chief assistant of the cabinet was also within easy reach.
It's really like Rudong Weng can't come out, so why can't the people live?
But now this Duke of Wei is making another mess, he really managed to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway through, and all of a sudden he got a huge credit. Once the new law becomes popular, won't the world praise the Duke of Wei's name?
In comparison, Dong Weng was somewhat overshadowed.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiancheng frowned and sighed secretly.
Although it was difficult to reform and reform in ancient times, there are still many people with lofty ideals who continue to give in and contribute their talents. It is because a considerable number of scholars have in their hearts the political ideal of being a king, ordering the world, and leaving a name in history, which is extolled by scholars.
But now Jia Heng has suddenly attracted the attention of the entire courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and he has transformed into a standard bearer of the reformation.
Greed for the merits of heaven, according to their own.
The two staff members are both people who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they pursue the thick and black study, so they naturally suspect these secret schemes.
Kuang Shouzheng said: "Dong Weng, according to the officials, the feasibility of these four new policies is quite high. Once implemented, from south to north, within three to five years, the treasury will be abundant and the world will be in great order. It won the hearts of the people and the common people applauded it. At that time, everyone in the world knew the four new policies, but they didn't know the law of whipping. Dong Weng, this Duke of Wei..."
Although he didn't say the following words, the implication is that the limelight is all given to Wei Guogong.
Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment, and said: "For the sake of the country, it doesn't matter who proposes it. Besides, these four items are all condensed by the wisdom of the Duke of Wei, and they are all good strategies for benefiting the country. According to the report in the residence, they should be adopted in Jiangsu and Henan. One south and one north go first, this matter, I will go to the court later, and Jiangsu will take the lead in responding."
Wu Xiancheng frowned slightly, and said in a cang voice: "Dong Weng, when it comes to this matter, this Duke of Wei is even more deliberate. His in-laws are taking care of Anhui, but they are not in the pilot program, which shows that he has a lot of selfishness. If the two rivers and three provinces go ahead together , then the effect is even more pronounced."
In fact, I vaguely guessed some reasons, I am afraid that if Jiangnan goes well, then Anhui will follow closely, so that there is no need to deal with the troublesome Jiangnan gentry, and it will be able to steadily share a share of the success of innovation.
This Duke of Wei is so scheming?The method can be called insidious.
Gao Zhongping pondered and said, "Mr. Wu is too worried."
At this time, Gao Bo obviously understood the meaning, and said: "Father, I can see that this Wei Guogong is deliberate. If he doesn't mention it sooner or later, he has to mention it before his father. What is the point?" The lack of a whip is clearly stepping on my father, showing off my talents to the world..."
Gao Zhongping frowned and scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"
In fact, I also have some doubts in my heart, but even if there is a truth to these secret quarrels, how can they be announced?
Thinking of this, he said: "Come here, don't fork him out yet."
Gao Bo's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the words, he waited for the two servants to enter the hall, bowed and then left the hall, still feeling aggrieved.
This Wei Guogong is too dark!
Gao Zhongping said in a low voice: "Your child is reckless, talking nonsense."
Wu Xiancheng was silent for a moment, then said quietly: "Dong Weng, what the Second Young Master said is not impossible."
Gao Zhongping's expression froze, he waved his hands, and said, "The top priority now is how to implement the new law as soon as possible, and don't worry about the rest."
Even if the Duke of Wei really had such thoughts, he could only dormant now.
Previously, didn't he take advantage of the great victory of the northern captives to make drastic changes in the south of the Yangtze River and implement innovative strategies?
As for the inconsistency and inconsistency, these are not the actions of Homo sapiens, and even changing course is a manifestation of despicable political integrity.
Wu Xiancheng sighed, and said: "What Dong Weng said is true. The key is to be in Jiangsu. Fortunately, the whole country is watching Jiangsu."
No one else, because Jiangsu is a place of wealth, and many officials in the south have purchased land here.
And just when Gao Zhongping of Liangjiang Governor's Yamen was discussing Jia Heng's four new policies, Shen's house, two arrows south of the Jinling City Household Department Yamen——
In the study room, a gray-haired old man with a dignified manner sat behind the desk, his complexion fluctuating.
The former Governor of Liangjiang, Shen Bing, who took up his post not long ago, also held a residence newspaper and read the memorials, with complex expressions in his eyes.
This Jia Ziyu is even more courageous than Gao Zhongping. Isn't he afraid of offending scholars all over the world?
Since his relegation, Shen Fang never wanted to get back up. During this period of time, he patiently waited for the opportunity in the household department to clean up the grain storage black hole left by the former Nanjing household secretary Pan Ruxi and Qian Shuwen.
At the beginning, Pan and Qian were questioned and dismissed because of the corruption case of Hedao Yamen and the case of hoarding goods and driving up prices in Huai'an Mansion.
Soon, Tan Jie, the left servant of the household department, was promoted to Shangshu, and Liu Yuzhong, the Imperial Academy, was appointed the left servant of the Nanjing household department.
The grain storage in Jinling also left a lot of mess. After Shen Fang was relegated to the right servant of the household department and took charge of the warehouse affairs, he began to solve the matter and use it to seek meritorious transfer.
Of course, during this period of time, Wang Shi has been looking northward, waiting for Jia Heng's battle report in northern Xinjiang.
however--
Since Jia Heng led the troops to go to the north, he fought successively and victoriously, and finally bombarded the slave chieftains and won a great victory over the captives. After returning to Beijing triumphantly, he was granted the Duke of Wei. Dejected.
Fortunately, after many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Shen Fang adjusted himself in a short time, hoping to make a comeback.
Because Gao Zhongping came, and took charge of Jiangnan with a policy of disaster.
With one whip, the land will be cleared, and the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is just around the corner!
Bai Sixing entered the hall, looked at the old man, and said, "My lord, the Duke of Wei's four new policies have come out, especially the sharing of the property into the mu, which makes the southern scholars hate it. The slow implementation of Qingzhang Tianmu is even more difficult .”
Shen Fang shook his head, and said loudly: "It's hard to say, I am worried that that person will also be sent to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the New Deal."
Today, no matter how resentful he is, he has to admit that once Jia Heng goes south, there is still a possibility of success.
This is not just a loudspeaker in the toolbox, but a real execution.
Bai Sixing pondered and said: "Dong Weng, once that Duke Wei gets married, the north and the south will pay attention to him. It's the time of the newlyweds. Will he go south for this muddy water?"
Another member of Shen Fang's staff, Lu Chaoyun's eyes flashed, and his tone was a little envious, he said: "The Duke of Wei took the head of the slave chieftain and presented it to the emperor, and the second wife of the Mongolian clan, the emperor's deep love and trust for him can be said to be far away The previous generation, I am afraid that they will indulge in the gentle countryside, and it is unknown if they will not go south."
In fact, many scholars in the world are secretly envious of Jia Heng who is also the daughter of the clan and the emperor's daughter.
Some scholars have already begun to think, on this wedding night, with the warm and fragrant soft jade in their arms, hugging from left to right, between the bed curtains, what kind of ecstasy should it be?
Shen Fang frowned, and said in a cold voice: "That is to underestimate Jia Ziyu. He is a traitorous and loyal man with a desire for power. He will never give up his achievements in governing affairs by going south to implement the New Deal. The Japanese officials read it in the past few days. According to the mansion newspaper, Baolinghou Shi Nai, an in-law of the Jia family, was appointed as the governor of Shandong. And once again borrowed the corpse to revive the soul."
The so-called, the enemy who knows you best is often the enemy. In the past six months in the household department, Shen Fang has not only worked hard as usual, but also deeply reflected on himself.
First of all, they fought out of anger, despised Jia Heng, doubted his general strategy, and repeatedly hoped that Jia Heng would be defeated in the northern affairs.
It is based on this kind of psychology that he has made repeated tricks and lost his duty as a minister of the feudal officials. He clearly knows that the emperor does not choose his origin and emphasizes the talents of mastering affairs, but he has no political achievements in governing affairs.
Shen Fang asked: "What's the wind in the city recently, do the gentry slander the new policy of flogging?"
Lu Chaoyun lowered his voice, and said: "Dong Weng, many officials said that Gao Manzi wanted me to dig out the roots of Jiangnan people, and the southern scholars paid so much tax and food to the court every year, and ended up in this end. Hao Shangshu and Dong Shangshu personally wrote the bullets, and they should be delivered to Beijing right now."
Because of the continuous disasters in the north for more than ten years, many official officials went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy property and support them. In addition, it was originally the positioning of Chen Han Nanjing. It can be said that Jiangsu Province has indeed gathered a huge force of gentry.
Shen Fang's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "During this time, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the collection of summer grain. It's best not to cause any trouble. I'll wait and see what happens."
"What's Dong Weng's plan going forward?" Bai Sixing asked in a low voice with his eyes flashing.
"If you want to make a comeback now, you can only push the boat along with the current and take care of the overall situation." Shen Fang said in a clear voice.
Lu Chaoyun was startled, and asked: "Could it be that Dong Weng is going to change course?"
If this is the case, it is not only ridiculed by scholars, but also not necessarily accepted by Duke Wei.
Shen Fang said: "Do your duty well. If the new law goes smoothly, I will be in charge of the warehouse. At that time, the grain will be transported to the north, and the emperor will not turn a blind eye."
You can't wave the flag for the reform policy, that way you will have many enemies and break your own foundation, and you can't face to face with Jia Heng, Gao Zhongping and others. If you work hard now, you will have a chance to recover in the future.
"What Dong Weng said is true. Today's left servant Liu Yuzhong is a clean stream who is not familiar with common affairs. Mr. Tan resists a whip, but Dong Weng does things honestly and does not avoid grievances. The emperor is wise and decisive. He sees it in his eyes. I have it in my heart." Bai Sixing said.
Shen Fang sighed and said, "I hope so."
If there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, he will still have merit. If the new law goes well, if he appears in front of the emperor at that time, he may still have a chance to recover.

Ningguo Mansion
As the footsteps of the big wedding are approaching, the Ningguo Mansion is also in the process of intense preparations. Because Qin Keqing is pregnant, the affairs of the mansion are entrusted to You Shi and You Sanjie, and Sister Feng and Ping'er often Come and help.
This concurrent wedding ceremony attracted the attention of traffickers and pawns in the capital, as well as officials and people.
Jia Heng is sitting in the study, reading a letter in his hand, which is a letter sent by Xu Kai from Runing Mansion, Henan.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since Xu Kai went to the Runing Mansion in the Central Plains to appease the army and rule the people since the Central Plains was in chaos last year.
The former Hanlin Xu Shi said that when he was in the Runing Mansion, he followed the discussion with Jia Heng that day, built water conservancy, dug the Ru River, and actively responded when promoting sweet potatoes. After the war, the people in the Runing Mansion gradually recovered. Prosperity.
Not to mention anything else, at least you can have a full meal.
At the same time, Han law was strictly enforced in Runing Mansion, and the law was strictly enforced. For a while, the reputation of Runing Mansion Qingtian spread to other counties.
The four-point memorial to the New Deal has been circulated in the capital in the past few days, and it has become an uproar.
It can be said that the civil servants of the entire Han Dynasty are paying attention to this new policy. Even the recent imperial examination fraud case, Zhao Mo took the blame and left the cabinet, few people paid attention to it.
Chen Ling carried the watermelon into the house, looked at the boy who was writing a reply at the desk, and said softly, "It's almost noon, let's eat some watermelon."
Jia Heng put down the brush in his hand, and said softly: "Henan will soon implement a new policy, starting with this year's summer grain collection, a whip method."
Chen Xiao said softly: "It's okay in Henan. There was a civil disturbance before, and now it's gradually regaining its vitality. The local officials are much less restrictive."
Jia Heng said: "But don't be careless."
Chen Xiao said softly: "Go and have a look at the workshop. Recently, the Portuguese craftsman wants to return to Haojing. According to that Nona, she has been here for almost a year."
Originally, I thought that this person was also thinking of taking over this barbarian woman, but I didn't expect that it had been almost a year without any movement.
Jia Heng said: "Go and see after the wedding."
He has been busy with his big wedding for the past few days, he didn't know that getting married is so much a matter, during which Yuanyang and Daiyu didn't go to see each other.
Since Baochai first accepted the rain and dew that day, she has not seen it again, so she is really at a loss.
Chen Ling looked at the young man eating watermelon with his head bowed, a slight blush suddenly appeared on his greasy face with icy muscles and bones, and said softly, "The wedding dress... I've finished it."
Jia Heng smiled, put down the watermelon, met the flustered dodging eyes, and said: "Then wait a while, put it on, and let me see."
"Don't mess around." Chen Xiao said shyly.
He is used to messing around, otherwise he wouldn't be talking about imperial clothes, maybe seeing her wearing a wedding dress, he just... got excited and started the bridal chamber early.
As the wedding day approached, she became more and more powerless to refuse.
Jia Heng took the girl's slightly cold slender hand, stared at the beautiful and clear eyebrows, looked at the shy and low-browed girl, and said with unspeakable joy, "I just want to see What is it like for my Xiaoxiao to wear her wedding dress?"
This is probably a heart-to-heart relationship, and your eyebrows are your love?
He was convinced that he and Xiaoxiao had a true relationship above lust.
Jia Heng said, pulled the girl to sit in his arms, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, I just have a look, don't worry, I can still wait for these few days, and I will give you a good memory."
At that time, he and Xianning and Chanyue will pay homage to get married, and when it comes to the bridal chamber, there will be some ceremony procedures with Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xiao's delicate body trembled slightly, her willow eyebrows arched, her jade face was slightly red, she looked at the young man with gentle words like jade, and softly snorted, "I'll see you later."
Is he looking forward to that?
Chen Ling was picked by the teenager, her cheeks were blushing, and she said in a clear voice: "Don't hug me, it's too hot, eh~"
It was clear that the boy had already moved close to the girl's lips, and held it in his mouth, it was icy and cool, like mint.
At this moment, the courtyard where the mandarin ducks are located——
The mandarin ducks are holding the soles of the shoes, holding the needle and thread in their hands, stretching and raising, under the verdant green dress, the lotus root arms are like snow, the girl is tall and tall, her hair is black and green and soft, her face is a standard oval face, and her eyebrows and eyes seem to be He has a good understanding of personnel and has an unspeakable coquettishness.
Not far away, his elder brother Jin Wenxiang sat down with his sister-in-law, talking with a smile.
"It's not that Xiaobao is not young anymore. We are okay. We will consider for him in the future, and we should buy some land for future marriage or something, but Jingzhao Mansion said that servants cannot buy land." Jin Wenxiang Said: "In the future, let alone reading imperial examinations and practicing martial arts to join the army."
The two of them came here because of their five-year-old son.
One is to get back the body deed, and the other is to study in ethnology.
"These elder brothers tell me what to do, and I can't make the decision. Besides, the elder brother is the comprador in the old lady's house, and the deeds are all in the mansion." Yuanyang said, biting off the line, and said: "If it is because of For Xiaobao's matter, I went to ask the old lady for her grace."
Jin Wenxiang's wife, Wei Shi, said with a smile: "It's not that Xiaobao is still in school. I think he usually holds a wooden knife and wooden gun, and he seems to want to learn how to serve in the army. He just wants to practice hard in the martial arts hall." Lian, he will be able to go to Beijing camp in the future to help his uncle."
But she knew that many young children of the Jia family went to the Beijing camp, and many of them became high officials.
Taking a step back, even if you are worried that you won't be able to join the army because you have no eyes for swords and guns on the battlefield, it is better to be an official and a half-job as a civil servant than to be the head of the government and have children.
When Yuanyang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she said angrily, "What uncle?"
Jin Wenxiang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wei, had a big smile on her face, looked at Yuanyang enviously, and said with a smile, "I don't know about others? Grandpa, you will become a concubine in the future, and you will have a son and a half daughter in the future, but you will be able to seal your wife as an imperial concubine."
Jin Wenxiang's daughter-in-law, as the boss of Jiamu's family, has a good relationship with the mothers and maids in Jiamu's room. She has long seen the matter between Jia Heng and Yuanyang, and Jia Heng once led the mandarin ducks south to look at the Jincai couple. The Wei family had long regarded Jia Heng as their "brother-in-law".
Especially after Jia Heng was granted the title of Duke of the State, the Wei family was very happy because of his great power.
Yuanyang heard the words, the face of the white duck egg with a few freckles flushed red, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she snorted coldly: "Where is the fate, I am the fate of the girl."
While talking, he picked up the embroidery needle and lowered his head to embroider.
A few days passed in a flash, and it was as if I had agreed to come to see her at the beginning, but I forgot about it later.
While thinking about it, it was inevitable that he felt a little dazed, and suddenly his fingers hurt, and he snorted softly, only to see a drop of blood ooze out from the pad of his finger, which was as plump and moist as a slender bamboo shoot.
Jin Wenxiang glared at his daughter-in-law, and said with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"
At this moment, Wei Shi also ouched, quickly took out the handkerchief, and said eagerly: "My aunt, please wipe it quickly, if the uncle sees this, I don't know how distressed it will be."
This is the future nobleman of their Jin family, and their family's hope can't be a little bit wrong.
Yuanyang blushed blushing at what her sister-in-law said, and said angrily, "No need."
Because my elder brother is still there, I have to keep my face after all, and it is not good to say some retorting words in front of my sister-in-law.
At this time, a servant girl's voice came from outside, saying, "Is Sister Yuanyang in the house?"
