Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 420 New Law
Ma Xiao glanced outside the door, but stood still without making a sound.

"Come in and talk." Xie Jue motioned to Su Yue, took a big handkerchief around his waist, and with Su Yue's support, took out his legs from the barrel and lay down on the bed.

Su Yue took a handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on his legs, covered the thin quilt, and when she went to get the medicine again, Ma Xiao lifted the curtain and walked in.

With a few steps away from the bed, Ma Xiao stopped, looked at the ground and said: "Ten days ago, Cai Bing made a memorial, please completely abolish the Prince's method of raising interest, and increase commercial and agricultural taxes together." , the agricultural tax was increased from [-] to [-] to [-], and the commercial tax was increased from [-] to [-] to [-]. It was also proposed that because the floods in the south this year highlighted the lack of water conservancy, the corvee should be doubled. Especially in the south, from ten out of ten to two for one month of corvee, it has been increased to out of ten out of five for three months of corvee."

"The villain!" Xie Jue said angrily, "He wants to force those common people to death!"

Not to mention such an increase in taxes, how much money can those merchants and farmers have left, just this corvee, the common people simply cannot afford it!
According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is counted as a dime based on the head count, regardless of gender, as long as they are between the ages of 14 and 50, they are all dines.

In a normal peasant household, at least four out of ten people are young and strong laborers. If two people are taken out to serve a month of corvee, it will not have a great impact on this family.

However, smoking five out of ten is equivalent to taking away all the men from a family with the old man, for three months!

Even those lands with good harvests can't bear it, let alone the south that has just been ravaged by floods and hasn't even recovered!

Ma Xiao lowered his head, and hatred flashed in his eyes. After Xie Jue's anger eased a little, he continued: "In Cai Bing's letter, he first mentioned that because of the former prince's administration, the treasury was empty. There was no money for disaster relief in the south, and no guarantee for military rations and salaries."

"The first prince's administration?" Xie Jue sneered.

Those policies of the former prince’s lineage now seem to have some inappropriateness, but at that time it was to make the country rich and the people strong, and the treasury rich and abundant. However, after the first emperor killed the prince and cleaned up the prince’s lineage, not only did the new law , and squandered wantonly, but in just a few years, the abundant treasury was squandered.

Now, Cai Bing mentions that because of the administration of the former prince...

Wait, at this time he proposes the crown prince?

"What did the court say? What did the emperor say?" His voice lowered, Xie Jue said coldly.

"Han Prime Minister agreed with it, and Fang Xiang said that this method can relieve the treasury." Ma Xiao paused and said, "Qin Yushi didn't say anything, Cai Bing and Han Xiang's subordinates agreed together, and Yun Shangshu did not express any objection, and the emperor responded to the memorial at that time and asked the cabinet to draft a specific plan."

Xie Jue let out an extremely cold snort, and said in a deep voice, "What else?"

Although this kind of matter is important, it is not urgent enough for Ma Xiao to come to him before leaving Beijing. Just send someone to tell him about this kind of matter.

This kind of major event of changing the tax law is that there is no voice of opposition in the court, but it will not be realized in a short period of time if it is to be implemented in detail.

The division of interests involved in this is too great, and it is possible to quarrel for half a year or a year over a detailed rule.

And now he can't control the government, so he can only plan it slowly.

"Mr. Ling came here eight days ago." Ma Xiao hesitated and said, "He said that he had already contacted some people to organize a rally to protest against this law. The emperor knows that this law is a disaster for the country and the people."

"Nonsense!" Xie Jue was so angry that he sat up from the bed, then lay back on the ground with another cry of pain, and sternly shouted: "That bastard, he has more success than failure!"

The corners of Ma Xiao's lips twitched, and he thought that he must pass on the words to that talented Ling Ling!

At that time, he and Che Ling were shocked when they heard that Ling Dacai said so, and felt that this approach was wrong.

But at that time, Ling Dacai spoke convincingly, saying that Mr. Fu Da took the lead, at least everyone would know that Cai Bing was a traitor, and would not be deceived by others. He really thought that the first prince was a bad person.

In this way, it is tantamount to building public opinion for Xie Jue.

They felt that there was some truth to it, but they were not sure, and seeing Ling Dacai's posture, he was going to make a big fuss at the end of the year. After discussing it, they decided to hurry up and come to ask for instructions Xie Jue.

At the end of the year, the business of the silk and silver house in the tea house was the best. Che Ling couldn't leave, so he came here.

In the end, when he arrived at the villa, he said that Xie Jue had taken Su Yue to Aye City to play, and he would be back in two days.

Ah Ye City!The territory of the Rong people!

He was still thinking at the time, or he would chase after Aye City, firstly to report the situation, and secondly to meet Xie Jue and the others.

Unexpectedly, just as they were preparing to leave tomorrow, Xie Jue popped up...

Ok.

Judging by the reaction, he and Che Ling were right.

Xie Jue took a breath and said, "You, go back right away and tell that bastard, don't mess with me! Now, just let Cai Bing do it. Mr. Fu Da has an idea, so he can borrow Liu Qi. By the way, the emperor is not Do you appreciate that bastard's tea-ordering skills? Let Liu Qi secretly bring the emperor out, find a place, let Mr. Fu Da talk with the emperor face to face, only analyze the pros and cons of this method, never mention the prince, nor say anything about the emperor The new law at the time of the prince."

Taking another breath (the wound was too painful just now), Xie Jue continued: "We can let those students discuss it first, let everyone express their thoughts on this policy in the college, and let that bastard explain the disadvantages of this law as a lecturer." Analyzing them one by one, people can also compile those speeches into a book and sell them to the outside world, but I will stop writing books, rallies, and protests!"

It is of course a good thing that Mr. Fu Da is willing to come forward. With Mr. Fu Da's appeal and his promotion (printing a book to spread rumors), those disadvantages about this method will definitely be spread out. Once Cai Bing really implements this method, then In half a year, you can see the disadvantages come true.

At that time...

However, whether Mr. Fu Da or Ling Juefeng, although they are well-known celebrities all over the world, they have never been an official, and they have no official position.

You can express your opinions, but if you gather to make trouble and encourage students to write letters, it is interference in government affairs!If the crime is to be investigated, at least he must be sentenced to exile.

That treacherous official Cai Bing was probably just waiting for this opportunity.

Now the emperor has no voice at all in the government, and some of the people he placed have not yet reached the position where they can be discussed by the court.

And since Prime Minister Han was related to the fall of the former prince, he would definitely not want to see the former prince's faction rise up. As long as the matter involved the former prince's family, he would go along with Cai Bing even if he knew it was wrong.

He will not be lenient when dealing with Mr. Fu Da.

Once Mr. Fu Da encourages the students to write letters, then Cai Bing will definitely use this crime to uproot Mr. Fu Da!

Then, the academy and related contacts that Mr. Fu Da has painstakingly managed for more than ten years will also be swept away.

The biggest foundation for his future plans is gone!
Mr. Fu Da is obviously not that kind of reckless person, how could he go along with that idiot Ling Juefeng this time!
After thinking for a while, Xie Jue said again: "I'll give you a handwritten letter, and you take it back to Ling Juefeng, and you tell him, what I said, as long as he does what I say, Cai Bing will be overwhelmed." If he dares to do extra things, you can go and burn his precious courtyard!"

Ma Xiao twitched the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to be able to see Ling Juefeng's expression when he heard this.

It must be very exciting!
"Also, tell Zhao Hao that I will wait for him in the study in two quarters of an hour."
