Chapter 244 Song's Tax Disadvantages

The thin servant's eyes fell on Wang's face, and he was stunned. This man was very embarrassed. He didn't look at the ordinary people dressed up. He also knew that what he just said was not said by the king, but the group of people next to the king was really a little eye-catching. He was probably looking for relatives and friends or passing by here. With a flash of time, he felt that the king's eyes were sharp. Li, who wanted to avoid it, felt that he was an errand after all. Why was he afraid of a living person? He simply said to the king, "Listen to others. The government has the rules of the government, and those who don't know the rules should not get into it."

The king gently "hummed" with disdain, and the bluff of a county magistrate was bluffing.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen said with an aggrieved face: "Thank you, my neighbors. I, Mr. Chen, have done what I can do. Now I really can't do it." With tears swirling in his eyes, he turned around and said to the two servants, "You officials, look at what my landlord did, and in the end, even the ground is gone..."

The two servants looked at each other and said to Chen, "You see, our county is so big. Who doesn't know who we met at the beginning? We don't know whether you are doing it or not. We don't know whether we have the ability to do it. The two of us also eat official meals. Look at you, they all say hello. It's this time. Don't embarrass us. Everyone has a whole face, and it's easy for us to make a job.

Chen listened and sighed at the people around him. He looked for help. The fatter servant also looked around in the crowd. "Get out of the way, if anyone wants to help Chen and take over this servant, then stand up. Our brothers don't want to make things difficult for Chen, don't they?" As he said this, no one in the crowd spoke again. It seemed that he was afraid that something would happen to him, and some of them took half a step back.

What kind of difference is this? Why did he make these people so scared? Wang's heart couldn't help but feel a little strange. It can be seen that Mr. Chen sighed while there was no better way. He turned around and closed the door of his house, bowed his head and followed the two servants. The thin servant seemed to be afraid that Mr. Chen would run away, but he locked him. It doesn't make sense to walk. I had to pull Chen's elbow with one hand and said with a smile, "Look, the road is not flat, and your legs and feet are not good. I'll help you."

Speaking that the three people followed a road dodged by the crowd and went in the direction of the government office in the county. Wang then noticed that the Chen was still a little lame. Just as he was about to ask what it was, his sleeves were dragged. Looking back, it was Cai Jing,

"Son, the prince is urging you." Cai Jing said in a low voice,

Wang looked at the team. Yuan Ze was waving his hand at him. Alas, looking at Yuan Ze's heart like an arrow, he was worried that he didn't know anything. Looking at the tone of those people, it seemed that the two servants would not be too difficult for Chen. Anyway, he had to leave after the New Year. In this way, he had to stay in Linchuan for a month. It's time,

The king flashed on his horse and said, "Brother, what's wrong with this? Why does it seem to be killing me?"

Yuan Ze sat on a horse and looked up. He didn't care too much about the scene just now. He listened to Wang's question and said, "Your official is really confused. As soon as you get well, you will be calm. As an official, you haven't gone through the Ministry of Ceremonies, let alone the reputation you have won. I think in your mind is to make money or war, and you don't know the officialdom. I don't know the people's livelihood. You, there should be a curtain guest around you.

It's not that Wang has not thought about this question, but there is no suitable candidate for a while. The older people in the house are Cui Deyou and He Xingyuan: Although Cui Deyou had contact with the officialdom earlier, he is also a private person after all, and he doesn't know much about the officialdom as much about the officialdom; and He Xingyuan He said that he had also been a minor official, but the Han officials in Xixia also knew little about the situation in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. What's more, the staff of the officials of the Song Dynasty were not allowed to be appointed by themselves, but were appointed by the court. When Renzong was in office, the king did not agree to configure the curtain guests. Now that Emperor Yingzong is in office, can he be around the king? I can't make eyeliner,

"It's fine if I have a brother. Please give me more advice about everything. You haven't answered me just now."

"You see, this is what I just said about being an official, but how much land is useless: the government collects taxes from the people, which is all under one project. In the Han Dynasty, there were local self-government organizations in China. Its leaders are called the three elders. Under the three elders, there are strocly husbands wandering around, and the three elders are in charge of education. The stroverts are the rent of the land and the police. Inspectoring thieves, they all assisted the government on behalf of the locality. This system disappeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and became nominal. In the Five Dynasties, the army asked the local army to work hard and pay tribute to each place. Those who were not in the system stipulated by the state for a long time, so they had to find local leaders and ask them for houses and straw. , want horse materials, utensils, strong men, and feed. I know it's not easy to do, but I have to do it reluctantly. The army often comes and goes, and these local leaders become special to the superiors,

However, the local administrator felt that there was such a kind of person, which was convenient and easy to supervise. So even if there were no such people in the locality, they insisted on nomousing one or two. The army flowed like water, and when they arrived in a certain place, they had to send a errand. Therefore, after three or five years, the family would collapse, one collapsed, and then find another, and in the future. So that there is no need for an army, and the local governors still follow the old habits, and they still have to do the local government as usual, which becomes a more burden for the locality. What's worse is that there is no prosperous family in the locality. If it is prosperous, it's his turn to send the envoys. Our Song Dynasty's servant methods are all inherited from the previous history. You see, this Chen Yuanwai is an example. It is estimated that the tasks of the county magistrate have spread to this family.

It turned out to be: "So are the local officials. If the rich people in the local area are like this, no one can prosper. Those who can thrive are those who have jobs, or officials who can't provoke local officials. These local officials are also bastards, and the court sent them to do nothing. Not to mention, brother, you really know a lot."

"That's it." Yuan Ze smiled proudly: "Why don't you say that you don't understand officialdom and people's livelihood? Our father knows more about these. That's right, do you still remember that during the Jiayou period, my father played ten thousand words."

"Remember," How could Wang's side forget this? At that time, his father Wang Anshi forgot to eat and sleep. He consulted a large number of books and historical books for this book, and there were also a lot of contributions from Yuanze.

"At that time, there were many tax drawbacks written in the Wanyan book, but it was a pity that this matter was put down. At that time, my father also said that when you and my brother were older, he would naturally understand some of them."

What else did Wang want to ask? The group of people unconsciously came to the bottom of the hillside and followed the dirt road on the slope. There was a flat ground in front of the gate of the house. Wang side and others got off the horse. Yuanze pulled the king to the front of the gate of the house and knocked on the door three times. The door was opened, and the door inside the door saw it. Yuan Ze was stunned at first, and then reacted, "Oh, the eldest son is back. Why don't you send someone to tell me in advance?" He said that he hurriedly opened the two doors: "This is it."

"Zhao Bo, why don't you even know my brother?" Yuan Ze said and laughed. It seemed that Yuan Ze was very intimate with this family. This family was about 50 or 60 years old, especially when he heard Yuan Ze call him like this. He seemed to be an old man in the house.

"This, this is the second son. You looked the same when you were two hours old. If it hadn't been the second son, it would not be wise and it would be difficult to divide. Hurry up, come." The old man was obviously a little panicked and hurriedly arranged for others. "Go and settle down the horse and vehicle, and report it to the master and wife." Zhao Bo said, and a familyman ran to the house to report,

Yuan Ze led the king to walk along the bluestone road of the house. The yard was slightly open, and there were wells, trees, flowers and plants on the bluestone road. Now in the cold winter, the plum blossoms on both sides of the stone road are in full bloom, and the cold fragrance is blowing on the nose. The head of the bluestone road is the hall. The family ran back to tell Yuanze before he arrived at the hall, "The master is in the study of the inner house."

Yuan Ze asked Zhao Bo to take his attendants to wait here, and then pulled the king around the corridor and corner door, and entered the second courtyard. He saw a two-story building with a patio in the courtyard, with a pool in the middle. Wang looked around, and someone was walking on the corridor. Yuan Ze said, "The front courtyard is a guest room," and then he walked in again. "This was originally the second uncle's residence, but now they have set up another door, right next to the house."

Seeing that Yuan Ze did not stop, he admired the courtyard while following Yuan Ze in, and then entered the courtyard. It was also a circle of quadrangle courtyards with a second floor: "I'm here." With the words, Yuan Ze's pace also accelerated. Wang side followed Yuan Ze to the second floor and walked around to the study.

Wang Anshi was very happy to hear that his two sons had come back, especially when he heard the news of Wang's return. He thought that the child had suffered a lot in the past few years, especially in the foreign expedition, which was hanging his life on the tip of the knife. He also thought of what happened to the king's house, which was painful and pitiful. At this time, he was waiting for the two sons, and he couldn't read the book. Looking around and listening to the footsteps outside, he paced back and forth in the study,

As soon as the door opened, Yuan Ze and Wang sided in and said, "Dad, we're back."

Both father and son took a few steps. Wang Anshi said, "Okay, okay." He patted a child with one hand, looked at Wang and Yuan Ze, and finally looked at Wang: "Just come back, just come back."

Yuan Ze knew that his father was thinking about the news of the king, and he flashed aside sensiblely. The king knew more about the good meaning of coming back. Although he was still a little entangled with the fact that Wang Anshi was his father, he couldn't help but feel the deep affection between father and son: "The child is outside, let my father worry about him."

Wang Anshi didn't say anything yet. Mrs. Wang led a four- or five-year-old girl in. Yuan Ze and Wang hurriedly asked her mother. The little girl jumped into Wang Anshi's arms and stared at Wang Anshi's neck.

"Oh, my little sister is so big." Wang saw that the girl was well-behaved. She was still a baby at the beginning,

But the lady laughed and said, "You're wrong. This is your sister's child. You have to call your second uncle by generation. You just came back. Your sister and her husband happened to be here this year, and our in-laws, Professor Wu, also just stepped down from Gaoyou, and the way to celebrate the Spring Festival here."

Professor Wu, Wang was confused. Wang Anshi smiled and said, "You really haven't seen this person. This person's surname is Wu Mingchong Chongqing. He used to be a direct lecturer of the capital and the professor of Wu Wang Gong. Because he later violated the holy will, he knew the Gaoyou Army."

Isn't this Wu Chong? Wang suddenly thought that he would compete with Wang Anshi for the power of the prime minister in the future. Wu Chong, who said in front of Shenzong that Wang Anshi was not doing things properly, was actually in-law with Wang Anshi?!
