Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 855 Paraphrasing
Wu Zheng was speechless for a long while.

After a long time, he asked: "Aren't you afraid that others will hear what the princess said, and it will be bad for you?"

Once Du Jinning's suggestion was known to Zhao Fu, and Zhao Fu adopted it, then Du Jinning could be said to be an enemy of the entire officialdom, after all, it was the interests of officials that were harmed.

Why are clans tax-free?Because the whole country is managed by them, and the policies are formulated by them.Who is not selfish?Policy making will naturally be done in its own favor.In this way, it is the people who suffer.

But now, Du Jinning proposed to cancel the benefits of officials. How can this not make officials hate it?
Throughout history, most of those who proposed reforms and reforms that touched the interests of the ruling class did not end well.

Du Jinning smiled: "What is the reason why I disguised myself as a man to take the imperial examination? For the world to have no hunger. For the people to live a good life, so what if I throw my head and blood?"

She looked at Wu Zheng and said seriously: "I'm not a reckless person either. If it was before, I wouldn't dare to say these things. But now that the aristocratic family is in decline, the emperor is working hard to govern and serve the people wholeheartedly. Most of the officials in the court are from poor families. Although they are officials now, they have experienced the hardships of the world before. Even if they do not support it, they will not be too opposed to it. It is the best time for me to make this suggestion and carry out reform. The timing is right, but I keep silent for my own sake, what is the difference between me and those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

In the world of Du Jinning's previous life, the tax exemption of officials was a long-standing evil in ancient times.The land is concentrated in the hands of the official clan, but the official clan does not pay taxes, and these taxes are spread on the heads of the common people, and the common people suffer unspeakably.

It was not until Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty that this drawback was abolished, and it was stipulated that taxation should be based on land, no matter whose land it was, all taxes should be paid.For those who cannot pay the tax, the land will be confiscated and distributed to ordinary people who do not have land.

Because the interests of the official family were touched, and the debts owed by the officials to the treasury were recovered, the homes of many officials were raided. The official family who wrote the pen wrote Emperor Yongzheng as a tyrant in the history books.

Du Jinning traveled to this ancient time, and he didn't have any special feelings for Song Dynasty and Zhao Yu.It's just that she dealt with farmers all day long in her previous life. In this life, she first lived in a farm family, and later in Runzhou, she could squat in the fields and chat with farmers' families. She is very clear about the sufferings of the low-level people.

The words "There is no hunger in the world" are not just about researching high-yielding seeds.No matter how high the output of grain is, the peasants are still living in dire straits if they are exploited too much by taxes.

So she knew that making this statement would touch the interests of some people and make her situation difficult.But since she was standing on a high place and could see the way ahead, if she didn't say these words, she would have trouble sleeping and eating.

She put her own life on the line to risk the disapproval of the world by disguising herself as a man to take the imperial examination.Bringing it up before marriage is also an opportunity for the Qi family and Qi Muyuan to avoid risks.

Wu Zheng was in awe of what he said.

He has been an official all his life, and he looks down on reckless people who are passionate and reckless at every turn.Although there is a need for deadly counselors in the world, he feels that the unnecessary sacrifice is not worth it.People like Du Jinning, who have the world in mind, are brave and resourceful, and who make decisions before acting are the ones he admires the most.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Du Jinning: "The princess is so righteous and talented, and I admire you so much."

Du Jinning hurriedly avoided his salutation, and supported him falsely: "I'm too scared, Mr. Wu, please don't do this."

Wu Zheng straightened up and bid farewell to Du Jinning: "This official has little knowledge, short-sightedness, and narrow-mindedness. After being taught by the princess, it was like enlightenment, and he suddenly came to his senses. The official yamen still has official business, so I will leave first. Today I have a conversation with the princess, It's better than ten years of reading. I will come to ask the princess for more advice when I have free time."

If he hadn't been full of sincerity and emotion, and Du Jinning knew Wu Zheng's temperament, he would have thought that what he said was ironic.

There are too many words.

She got up and sent Wu Zheng to the door.

Wu Zheng came out of Du's mansion, but did not go back to the yamen, but went straight to the palace, begging to see Zhao He.

Today Zhao Wei was mainly busy with anti-counterfeiting banknotes, so he arranged various affairs, so he listened to Wu Zheng's request for an interview and asked someone to invite him in.

Seeing that there were still officials in the hall, Wu Zheng said, "The emperor is busy first, and the subject is not in a hurry, so you can wait."

Zhao He knew that what he wanted to say could not be heard.

After dealing with the affairs at hand and sending some people out, he asked Wu Zheng: "Is there anything Aiqing wants to report?"

As an official in charge of agriculture, Wu Zheng has seen Zhao He often, and he knows what the people around Zhao He are like.Seeing that all the eunuchs and court ladies he left behind were his confidants, he had no fear, and told Zhao He exactly what he had just said to Du Jinning.

At the end he said: "Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess has great talent, broad-mindedness, broad vision, and deep thinking. Few people can match it. The old minister feels that it is a pity that she is only an Eldest Princess. It happens that the Eldest Princess is good at agriculture, and she has developed The high-yield rice, the minister is now old and unable to do what he wants, and he has long wanted to be an official. The emperor also mentioned before that he asked the minister to recommend a reliable person to replace the minister. In the past, the minister did not have any good candidates, and it seemed that it was not suitable. Now The minister feels that the eldest princess is more than enough to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry. With her in charge of the Ministry of Industry, the prosperity of agriculture in the Song Dynasty is just around the corner."

Zhao He ignored Wu Zheng, his mind was full of the beauty of "everyone pays taxes" that Wu Zheng recounted.

He asked eagerly: "About paying taxes, what did the eldest princess say, please say it again."

Wu Zheng had no choice but to repeat Du Jinning's words again.

He can be admitted to the Jinshi and achieve the position of Shangshu, and his brain is definitely good.Du Jinning's words shocked him too much, and as he said just now, not only did he repeat it verbatim, but he also learned Du Jinning's tone of voice.

When Zhao He heard this, his heart was surging. He slapped the table and stood up, walking around the room.

If Du Jinning was here, seeing Zhao Mo's behavior would be very familiar-every time she finished drawing a big cake for Zhao Mo, Zhao Mo would behave like this.When he got excited, he walked around the room in circles.

After turning around several times, Zhao Wei's excited mood calmed down a little.

He returned to his seat and sat down, sighing: "I don't even know whether God is too kind to me or too bad to me. It is my luck and the best of the world to have someone like Du Jinning appear during my reign. Yukiya. But, why is she a woman?"

"What's the matter with the girl?" Wu Zheng, the new fanboy, couldn't hear anyone saying anything bad about Du Jinning, so he glared boldly in front of the emperor. Chao Wenwu, who wants to say that he is better than the princess, he will stand up, and he will be the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

　I went back to my mother's house.It seems that except for my own computer, no matter whether it is a laptop or other computers, I am not used to it.The keyboard is too hard, the screen is too bright, the chair is uncomfortable, and the posture is all wrong.This chapter has been written in a daze since three o'clock in the afternoon until now.I can't guarantee the next chapter, so don't wait.
