My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 83
Doctor Mei held the prescriptions written by Lin Shuran as if he had found a treasure. His heart was full of excitement, surprise, gratitude and admiration. He didn't know what to say for a while, and could only nod like a chicken eating rice.

In fact, Lin Shuran could have written these prescriptions to Princess Xiqing just now, which would make Prince Qing owe her a big favor, but she is cautious and serious, and she really thinks about Princess Qing, so she let herself, the doctor, look over it first. , This is also the trust and kindness towards him, he will never forget this kindness, and he will have to "follow up" the wife of the general in the future, maybe when she is happy, he will be lucky enough to get an ancient prescription .

Imperial Physician Mei took the prescription and left the General's Mansion excitedly, while Hong Gu looked at Lin Shuran with a calm face, her eyes became darker, and she heard that her various behaviors were quite different from those of a noble woman, she wrote down She has never seen those prescriptions before, and there must be an expert behind her who has guided her.

When Xu Junze stepped into the room, his eyes met with Hong Gu's, and Hong Gu immediately lowered her head respectfully and saluted him politely.

But facing such a strange servant girl suddenly appearing beside Lin Shuran, Xu Junze secretly sent someone to investigate, but they couldn't find anything about Honggu. This woman walks lightly, with a steady and powerful breath, she must be a master of martial arts .

Uncle Wu is a servant of Lin Shuran's farm, how could he know someone like Honggu?I haven't heard of a white-haired female master in Jianghu, but Lin Shuran trusts Uncle Wu, and is willing to put the person he introduced by his side. These days, Honggu is serving Lin Shuran with all her heart. Xu Junze sees that she understands her words and deeds The appearance of the rules is very similar to that of a rich family.

Hong Gu never looked up, she knew that Xu Junze was still sizing her up, in fact both Lin Shuran and Xu Junze were cautious about her, she felt calm in her heart, she came here on her own initiative to enter the capital city. This is the Xu family of the general's mansion.

"You guys go down first, my wife and I have something to say alone!" Xu Junze asked Hong Gu and Chun Xi who was beside him to go out, and the two withdrew as promised.

Lin Shuran was wondering why Xu Junze came home now. Recently, he always left early and returned late. Before dawn, he pulled the children out of bed to practice martial arts. He went out after a hasty breakfast, and came back at night.

Now let Hong Gu and Chun Xi go out again, what important matter does he have to tell him right now?Guessing what Xu Junze was going to say in his heart, he also asked in doubt: "Husband, what do you want to say?"

Both Lin Shuran and Xu Junze sat down in the room, and she became even more curious when she saw his serious expression.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will promulgate a new decree. All the registered land properties of the Jin Dynasty must pay taxes. In the future, no matter whether it is princes, generals or others, they will no longer have the privilege of tax exemption, and the children of the royal family and civil and military officials. All of the land will be restricted, and the excess cultivated land will be handed over to the state treasury for distribution by the court." As Xu Junze spoke lightly, Lin Shuran's eyes widened. up.

Since she lived in the farm three years ago, she has tried her best to understand all aspects of this time and space through multiple channels. Among them, she learned from some books that the land utilization rate of the Jin Dynasty was very low, and the production methods and tools were backward. The old idea of ​​rice made it impossible to increase the grain output of the Jin Dynasty.

The most important thing is that most of the good farmland in the Jin Dynasty was in the hands of the aristocrats and big landlords, and the court had a tax-free policy for vassal kings, royal relatives, meritorious ministers and even scholars, so the land in the hands of the common people was scarce and thin The tax that can be collected and paid is limited, so the pressure is naturally on the court's side. If the tax cannot be collected, the treasury will have no money. What does the emperor use to build his country.

It seems that if the national treasury was not really tight, the emperor would not want to issue such a decree. This is an enemy of all the nobles. Even if he is an emperor, it will be difficult to implement this decree , there will definitely be many people who will object.

"You tell me this, do you want to say that you want to be the first person to support the emperor's decision?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Junze softly. She didn't know Xu Junze very well, but her first instinct was She can feel what he wants to say to herself, and sometimes the tacit understanding between her and him is even strange to herself.

Xu Junze looked at Lin Shuran in surprise, he didn't expect that she would have guessed something before he said it, she was even more intelligent than he imagined, he nodded, expressing his intention.

Lin Shuran smiled, took a deep breath, looked at him and said solemnly: "You should know better than me that once you choose to side with the emperor, you will become the target of being attacked!"

People are greedy, especially those who have been in Vanity Fair for a long time. They will not allow their wealth to be taken away easily. They all say that "man dies for money, and birds die for food." Once you touch other people's cheese, the other party will I will really rack my brains and work hard with you.

"I know!" Xu Junze was never afraid of making enemies with others. It was because it would be very difficult to do so, so he wanted to be the first to stand beside the emperor and support him, because he knew better than anyone else that although the Jin Dynasty had no War, but if there is an enemy attack, the treasury will not be able to support it at all.

A country without financial support, talk about strengthening the army to protect the country, let alone seek the well-being of the people. If things go on like this, the Jin Dynasty is bound to lose the country and gradually decline.

He is a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, a subject of the emperor, a general who guards the territory, and a man who is determined to serve the country and the people, so even though he knows that there are many dangers ahead, he is not afraid.

However, Lin Shuran and the children are afraid that they will be targeted along with him. Of course, he will try his best to protect them from harm, and he also hopes that Lin Shuran can support her.

"Husband and wife are in the same boat, walking hand in hand. I will naturally follow you when you go east, and you can't abandon me when you go west. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Lin Shuran felt that Xu Junze must have told him about this in advance There are other things.

Sure enough, Xu Junze told her that the emperor has rewarded him with a lot of fertile land these years, and he will hand over most of the land property after the government decree is promulgated tomorrow morning. At that time, Lin Shuran, who is the head of the house, will need to hand over the land property documents to her. To the court.

"Don't wait until tomorrow, I'll get it for you now!" Lin Shuran took the key and went to the warehouse in person. She took out the small box containing the property documents of the Xu family, and handed it to Xu Junze who was waiting there with both hands.

Xu Junze took the box and took a deep look at her. There are some things that couples don't need to say too much, maybe they can understand each other with just one look.
