Chapter 782
"Since it will definitely cause turmoil, Huainan Road might as well carry out the two tax reforms at the same time. The Tang family's tax reform was the first to provide experience, and your two can learn from it. When your tax reform is over, it will be our Xuanjia army's turn to take action. At that time, the Hebei Road, Henan Road, Shandong Road, Hedong Road, and Guannei Road will be carried out together, and that will be the real test."

At the end of the dynasty, Empress Dowager Cao invited the three princes and two regents to move to the apse.The Queen Mother hoped that Meng and Ximen would carry out commercial tax reform as soon as possible, but Ximen procrastinated, and the land tax reform was only halfway through, and the overall lag behind.

Cao Yuzan sat on the couch with a solemn expression: "Someone suggested to me that tax reforms should be carried out one by one. But I think that will cause a large number of refugees. The refugees leave their hometowns with money and wander around. The sea of ​​people is easier. cause chaos."

No one spoke, Cao Yuzan said again: "I don't know what high-level opinions you all have, please don't hide your front and hold back, please be blunt."

Cao Yuzan put down his words and waited for others to speak.

At this time, the two tax reforms of the Tang family have ended, and Tang Zhen is relaxed: "If there is trouble in the pass, the Shence Army can rush to help."

Cao Yuzan was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Da Sima's vision is far-sighted, and Ai's family is worried about this matter. The Xuanjia army is 20, and it is indeed a bit of a burden to deal with five tax reforms at the same time." Stretched. With the help of the Shence Army, it is like a tiger with wings."

Meng Danqing's voice was not loud: "I'm preparing to go to Jingzhou."

Cao Yuzan was startled slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Through Cao Yuzan's performance, Su Yu felt that something had changed.Maybe Meng Danqing told Cao Yuzan in private that he would not go to Jingzhou in person.Because Meng Ruo is also in Jingzhou.

Meng Danqing's trip to Jingzhou is not necessarily just for tax reform, but it may also be a critical moment for the Meng clan to resolve internal conflicts.Maybe it will be resolved "lightly", or there will be an internal strife and a big fight.

Hearing Meng Danqing's words, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, but he didn't speak.And Ximen Zhensen, the old fox, sat there as usual.As long as he is not named, or does not directly involve the interests of his family, he will not speak.

If everyone makes a statement, when it is his turn, he will often say "I reserve my opinion", "If you can do it, I will do it", "You may be right", etc. Chu or He Ximu words.

So among the few people in the room, Su Yu hates Ximen Zhensen the most.But this kind of dislike is only hidden in the bottom of my heart, and I am still polite when we meet.

Seeing that Ximen was silent like an eggplant, Cao Yuzan called by name and said, "What do Duke Chu think?"

Simon Zhensen smiled: "I think it's okay."

He started to play this game again, but this time Cao Yuzan didn't intend to let him fool him, but asked directly: "Duke Chu's words, do you plan to carry out land and commercial tax reform at the same time?"

Ximen Zhensen quickly waved his hand: "No way. I have many big families in Huainan Road. If their domestic slaves are counted, there are tens of thousands of people. If they are pushed into a hurry and recruit troops, they will quickly expand to 10,000+. At that time, my Huben Army guarded the Yangtze River and suppressed the rebellion at the same time, and I was afraid that the two would not care about each other."

Cao Yuzan immediately said: "It's okay, I will send the Zhengzhou Army to help you. If there is any turmoil, I will kill you directly. Your Ximen family is concerned about the relationship with the big families in Huainan Road, and the Zhengzhou Army does not have this burden."

Ximen Zhensen grimaced: "The Zhengzhou army has returned from combat, and the two divisions may not have 1 people together. What is the use?"

Cao Yuzan said: "Then how about I transfer two more divisions from the capital?"

"If you can send Zhang Yunlong and Cao Sheng there, I will agree!" Ximen Zhensen suddenly raised his voice: "Can you?!"

Prince Rui, King Kang, and King Xian have so much power, why don't the three of them want to be emperors?This has something to do with the existence of the three clans. It is really difficult to be the emperor of the Liang Dynasty.

When Emperor Wanlong alone controlled 20 Xuanjia troops, the environment was relatively better.But now Cao Yuzan, who is listening to politics behind the curtain, is not so lucky. The big bosses of the three clans have a temper at any time and will take her into the army.

Cao Yuzan's face turned livid, but she was speechless.

She was captured by Ximen Zhensen.

At this time, the right regent Zhao Yu said: "It may not be impossible, I can talk to King Xian."

Zuo Regent Zhao Zhun moved his lips, he seemed to want to say "I'll go find King Kang", but he held back because of his relationship with Ximen.Bow slightly.

Different dynasties have different "left and right respect".In the Tang Dynasty, nobles were called "You Clan", relatives of emperors were called "You Qi", and those who were demoted were called "Zuo Qian".The Liang Dynasty generally inherited the system and customs of the Tang Dynasty.

The two regents have no distinction between left and right, but Cao Yuzan said that this is very inconvenient, and it is easy to be slandered by the Southern Jin Dynasty with irresponsible remarks.So she worshiped the gods in the Changqiu Palace and said that Su Yu was on the right and Zhao Zhun was on the left, which was good for the country's fortune.

She emphasized that this is just a textual distinction, not a ranking of the two kings.Having said that, Sima Zhao's heart is undoubtedly revealed, and he is obviously partial to King Qin.When the Ministry of Rites arranges the order of various rituals, it is also divided according to the right superiority and the left inferiority.But Zhao Zhun didn't care about her.

The conversation between the three representatives of the royal family and the three big bosses seemed a bit explosive due to Ximen Zhensen's sudden increase in tone.But soon Tang and Meng were trying to smooth things over, and the meeting broke up.

An Guogong Tang Zhen is very relaxed now, striding out of the hall like a king, he is so majestic.But the prime minister Meng Danqing who walked with his head held high in the past was not as relaxed as Tang Zhen. At this time, the situation he was facing was very severe.

As the name suggests, Meng Ruoren is a ruthless character.At this time, both Tang Zhen and Cao Yuzan were worried about Meng Danqing, how to pull out Meng Lun's big nail.

To say that Meng Danqing and Meng Han had turned against each other had a direct relationship with Cao Yuzan.If she hadn't sent Chu Wuba to assassinate Meng Han, it wouldn't have happened.But Meng Danqing has always been very clear in his work. Although Cao Yuzan made the mistake, the root cause of the problem lies within the Meng family.So he doesn't blame Cao Yuhan.

Although Su Yu didn't know the inside story, Su Yu always believed that Meng Danqing was a man with a heart.

The three bosses left, but Cao Yuzan was still sitting on the couch, cursing in a low voice from time to time.Although she couldn't hear what she was cursing, she must be scolding Ximen Zhensen.

Seeing that she had nothing serious to do, Zhao Zhun got up and left.

Su Yu is leaving too.

"Stop." Cao Yuzan said coldly, "Sit down."

Su Yu stared at Cao Yuhan.

Cao Yuzan took off a few hair ornaments on the top of her head and threw them on the table: "I am the queen mother, the eldest sister-in-law of a prince of the same generation. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Are you so rude to your mother? You can leave as soon as you say you want to." Can't you give me a gift? Talk to me, can you lose a piece of meat?"

She had nowhere to vent her evil fire, so she threw it all over Su Yu's head.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and cursed in his heart: You are not Zhao Ying's wife, how did you become a sister-in-law?Zhao Zhun just left, and he didn't salute, why don't you find fault with him?Why aren't you his mother?Such blatantly different treatment, this is also a grandson!

……

The princess took care of the old slave and asked Hu Rong to buy a young eunuch by himself.The princess emphasized that the little eunuch will only serve Hu Rong in the future and will not arrange him to do anything else.Hu Rong was a little moved, and left the princess mansion with his hands behind his back, and walked around the imperial city.

In the past, it was common to see some castrated boys brought by their parents or human traffickers on Peacock Avenue, or to meet abandoned castrated boys.

Some confused parents didn't know how to send their children to the palace, so they eunuched first and then sent them.As a result, he couldn't send it in, so he sat at the entrance of the imperial city and howled.

But today Hu Rong walked around the imperial city, but he didn't meet any of them.

It really echoes the old saying, you can always see it when you don’t need it, but you can’t find it when you want to use it.

Lao Diao Si was not in a hurry, and continued to wander around with his hands behind his back, and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire about it.Although the little eunuchs here didn't know the former chief executive, they knew that Li Wantang respected Hu Rong very much, so they didn't dare to neglect him.So I told him that those eunuchs usually stay in Xisan Hutong, Nanshi.If there is a shortage of people in the university, go there and choose.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, when Hu Rong was the chief executive, there was no such saying.Hu Rong didn't comment on this, but drove to Nanshi in a donkey cart and came to Xisan Hutong.

What a messy alley, Lao Diao Si couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose when he came here.

Lao Diaosi is nearly ninety years old, his muscles and bones have shortened, and he is more than an inch shorter than when he was young, but even so, he is still slender.He was dressed in fancy clothes, and he could tell at a glance that he was a rich man.When an old man like him came to the alley, a group of people immediately ran over to introduce the children around him.

Hu Rong didn't speak, just pinched each child's wrist and shook his head from time to time.

There are about forty children in the alley, and Lao Diao Temple worked from beginning to end, but found no good materials.Slightly disappointed, I looked around.It was found that there were several children without parents at the entrance of the alley, some were begging, some were nesting in the corner, and some were motionless, possibly dead.

Lao Diaosi bought some pancakes and distributed them to the children.All of a sudden a large group of children ran up, they stretched out their little hands pitifully, crowded together, shouting "Grandpa", "I'm starving to death", "I beg you" and other words.

Hu Rong's heart softened, and he started sending money to them, and squeezed their wrists by the way.

At some point in the crowd, a little girl came over, dirty, with a broken pottery bowl in her hand and a small bamboo stick. When Lao Diao Si's hand pinched her wrist, her old eyes suddenly lit up. , like a star jumping out of a dry well.

God damn it, making trouble in back alleys, among beggars, I found a treasure.

That old Huang has a Tong Xi who shows off in front of Lao Diao Temple all day long.Today we want to give you a good look.
