Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 103

"I'll go and open the door, Jiang Jinzhong seems a little timid." Xu Miaoyun smiled and got up.

Zhu Di followed the window and looked up the stage...

The big country gentry kept leaving, Jiang Jinzhong's face turned slightly pale, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

This is normal.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, local officials looked at the faces of the aristocrats.

After the Song Dynasty, local officials looked at the faces of the squires.

But the local officials, if they really want to be the answerers of the local gentry, then they don't want to make political achievements.

See Jiang Jinzhong looking upstairs frequently.

Zhu Di nodded and gave Jiang Jinzhong a thumbs up.

At this time, Jiang Jinzhong needs to be recognized.

But there's only so much he can do.

Whether he can stand up or not depends on Jiang Jinzhong himself.

……

Just when Zhu Di praised Jiang Jinzhong.

Xu Miaoyun opened the door.

When Mao Xiang saw Xu Miaoyun, he bowed hurriedly and said, "My lord."

"Commander Mao please." Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded.

Mao Xiang entered.

Walking cautiously against the wall, he came to the position behind Zhu Di against the wall and stood still.

Zhu Di looked away, stretched out his hand and pushed the chair in front of Mao Xiang, "Director Mao sit down."

"Thank you Mr. Zhu."

After Mao Xiang thanked him respectfully, he sat down.

Although it was a private room, Mao Xiang did not dare to use titles such as His Highness and Princess to address Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun in a place full of people.

Zhu Di poured a cup of tea, turned around and handed it to Mao Xiang, and asked with a smile: "The old man is very concerned about bidding for tax packages, so he sent you here?"

what!
'You two are really kind fathers and filial sons. '

'After going back, you must not reveal that you met King Yan here, otherwise the emperor will feel very humiliated. '

While reaching out to take the teacup, Mao Xiang secretly slandered and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu proposed this method for Jiang Jinzhong, which can effectively reduce the burden on the people."

"So, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter."

"Then our Tuqiao Village, the cooperative rural village society, the old man should also attach great importance to it, right?"

Mao Xiang nodded subconsciously, and immediately realized that this was a... trap!
If you admit it, isn't it the same as directly admitting that Jin Yiwei has spies in Tuqiao Village.

Although this matter, everyone knows it well.

But how embarrassing it was.

Mao Xiang could only respond with a sneer.

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head and smiled, stretched out her hand and poked Zhu Di's arm with her finger.

Zhu Di smiled, he was just joking with Mao Xiang.

"Father, queen mother, and my father-in-law, are they all in good health?" Zhu Di asked solemnly.

call!
Mao Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly smiled and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine, it's just during this time, the empress and the emperor are angry."

"The empress wants to come out for a while, but the emperor does not agree. However, Mr. Zhu knows the emperor and is always very tolerant to the empress. The emperor is already a little moved."

……

Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly.

The dignified commander of Jinyiwei is also a cunning man!

It seems to be talking about the situation of everyone in the family, but it is actually revealing the secret!

The queen mother wants to come out for a walk, which is a hint that the queen mother wants to come to Tuqiao Village.

Father Huang didn't agree at first, but for some unknown reason, now he's moved.

After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he tentatively asked: "Mr. Zhu is here to advise Jiang Jinzhong?"

"No." Zhu Di shook his head and smiled, "I will accompany Miao Yun to the city to see a doctor. When Jiang Jinzhong heard the news, he invited us to come over."

"What's wrong with Mrs. Zhu?" Mao Xiang hurriedly asked.

No matter what status these two are now.

One thing never changes.

One is the blood of the royal family, and the other is the first prince of the dynasty, the jewel in the palm of Wei Guogong!

"My wife is pregnant." Zhu Di smiled, originally he didn't intend to say it.

But Mao Xiang's sly behavior just now made him change his mind.

Mao Xiang looked up in surprise, then got up in surprise, congratulating: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhu!"

"The bidding in Xiaya Village begins!"

At this moment, the outside auction began.

Zhu Di smiled and pointed to the chair, "We accept the commander's congratulations, let's take a look at the auction first."

"Leave it to me, I have a lot of money!"

"I have five fights and seven dendrobium!"

"Five buckets and five dendrobiums!"

"The minimum is five buckets and five dendrobiums. Is there any bidders? Five buckets and five dendrobiums are the first time, the second time, and the third time!"

Boom!
"Xiaya Village, Liu Shengxiang won the auction of five buckets and five dendrobiums!"

……

Boom!
"Shengtai Village, Zhao Ji's auction of five buckets and two dendrobiums was successful!"

……

After watching more than a dozen village auctions in a row, the three looked away.

Mao Xiang nodded in praise and said: "It seems that this auction has been successful. For more than a dozen villages, the maximum collection amount is five buckets and five dendrobiums. For one mu of land, farmers get five more dendrobiums. A farmer with an acre of land can get an extra stone of grain!"

As the intelligence leader who monitors the world.

He knows too well how important a stone of grain is to a farmer!

What's more, there are five buckets and two dendrobiums with lower quotations.

With this amount of collection, the people can keep more food in their hands!
Zhu Di said with a smile: "These small landowners and squires in the auction are most likely from the village."

"They are the wealthiest in the village."

"The people dare not owe them anything."

"In fact, they don't have much consumption in the collection of their own village. There is no work in the field right now. If they are idle, they are idle. With a few relatives of the same clan, they walk around the village a few times a day, and they can pay back the land tax they have paid in advance. "

"Now they pay five buckets per mu in advance, and they can collect five buckets and two dendrobiums from farmers, which is quite a profit."

"Of course, I estimate that the minimum is five buckets and two dendrobium. If it is lower, these people probably won't do it."

"This is still a good year. They all know that it is not difficult to collect taxes from farmers."

"If the year is not good, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Di shook his head and stopped talking.

The year is not good, and even during the grain harvest period, grain is very expensive, and these large grain storehouses are unwilling to pay in advance.

At the same time, the year is not good, and it is more difficult to collect taxes from farmers.

If the profit is too thin, no one wants to do it.

Therefore, once the year is not good, even if the bidding includes tax, these people have to increase their bargaining chips.

At this time, the life of farmers is the most difficult.

It really complied with that sentence: the hemp rope is only broken at the fine point, and bad luck is only for the poor.

The more difficult the time, the bad things all swarmed.

"In the final analysis, farmers' ability to resist risks is too poor." Xu Miaoyun sighed, and said: "The family has a surplus, so that they can deal with various risks in strong winds and waves."

Mao Xiang listened silently, observed secretly, and sighed: These two are very outstanding!

Reining in his thoughts, he stood up and said goodbye, "Mr. Zhu, I'll take my leave first."

"Commander, if the imperial court wants to implement bidding and tax packages, not to mention promoting Jiang Jinzhong immediately, at least to ensure that Jiang Jinzhong will not step down from Jiangning in despair because of what he did."

Zhu Di pointed to Jiang Jinzhong and said with a smile: "If Jiang Jinzhong is hated by others, and if he continues to do so, those who have lost their interests under the bidding tax package system will be encouraged."

"Even if local officials want to do it, or do it for the sake of political achievements, they don't dare to do it anymore. This auction tax package system can only end up in name only."

"Any innovation must always be poured with blood and corpses. Without these in the innovation process, it will not be successful or solid."

Pouring blood and corpses?
Mao Xiang was terrified when he heard this, and quickly responded, "Mr. Zhu is right."

Afterwards, Mao Xiang said goodbye, walked out of the private room, closed the door, frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness wants me to remind the emperor to protect Jiang Jinzhong."

"But the last sentence, blood and corpses, who do you want me to bring?"

"It's definitely not the emperor. The emperor will not be lenient in things. King Yan must know the emperor and will not remind him."

……

Inside the room.

After confirming that Mao Xiang was far away, Xu Miaoyun asked curiously: "Your last words, you want Mao Xiang to bring it to your elder brother, right?"

"My beautiful wife is smart." After Zhu Di made a joke, he restrained his smile and nodded, "Brother handles the government affairs without lack of skill or ability."

"But sometimes, the voices of those civil servants are taken too seriously."

"Too much care about the emperor's father and the courtiers' evaluation of him, and he is restrained in doing things, not ruthless enough, not tough enough!"

"A superior person must listen to outside voices, but he must not pay too much attention to outside voices, otherwise his life will be too tiring and depressing."

"If the imperial court implements the auction tax package, according to the nature of the father, it must be handed over to the eldest brother. The essence of the auction tax package is to deprive the big gentry of the benefits."

"At that time, the civil servants of the imperial court, and even some generals, will chatter in the ear of the eldest brother."

"If he's not tough enough, the old man will think he's too used to civil servants."

"So, you want Mao Xiang to help pass a message to elder brother?" Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded: "Mao Xiang can definitely do this well."

"Look at how slippery he was just now."

"By asking about the health of your family members, you can reveal to us the news that the emperor and the empress may come to Tuqiao Village in disguise."

Zhu Di smiled.

There are some things he can't say to Miao Yun.

In fact, the message to the elder brother is more to let the elder brother do anything, let go of his hands and feet, and don't care too much about what others say.

Historically, he has had a lot of trouble.

To put it bluntly, I just care too much about the various voices from the outside world.

Want to please everyone.

Make yourself too stressed.

The body was overwhelmed by the heavy psychological pressure and exhaustion.

Of course, he is doing his best to obey the destiny.

At their age, their personalities and values ​​have basically been shaped, and it is not easy to change.

Squeak!

"Mr. Zhu, I'm doing pretty well, right? Do I have some skill from you!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, followed by the voice, and Fatty Jiang walked in with a face full of joy after success.

Zhu Di got up, congratulated with a smile, "Master Jiang has a pair of iron courage!"

hey-hey……

Jiang Jinzhong smiled happily and admitted: "Actually, seeing those big gentry leave with black faces one by one, I was really nervous. If it weren't for Mr. Zhu's approval at the critical moment, there would be no wonderful speeches later."

Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, she was very suspicious, if there was no approval and praise from Shiro at the critical moment.

It is very possible that Jiang Jinzhong jumped off the storytelling stand, chased them out, and retained those big gentry who left.

If this kind of thing really happens, the bidding for tax package will be completely ruined.

Zhu Di looked at Jiang Jinzhong, who hadn't completely drifted away, and said seriously: "Master Jiang, on this occasion, you, the county magistrate, want to force those big gentry away."

what?
Jiang Jinzhong let out an ah, and looked at Zhu Di puzzled.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "If you don't force these big squires away, those small squires and landlords dare to compete with the big squires?"

"The current situation has become that you county magistrate Jiang forced those big gentry away, and the small landlords are just taking advantage of it."

"In this way, they dare to do it!"

Jiang Jinzhong's eyes widened immediately, "Co-author, I did something that offended people, and they took advantage of it for nothing? What's even more hateful is that some people took advantage of it for nothing, and they were shameless and reported it for five buckets and five dendrobium!?"

"These bastards are too treacherous and bullying!"

Seeing Jiang Jinzhong's aggrieved appearance, Zhu Di really wanted to take off his shoes and greet the fat man's face.

"You don't want to offend anyone when you take the lead. Who will do it with you? Who would dare to do it with you?" Zhu Di laughed angrily.

"What are you afraid of? You are not a local official. As long as the court environment is suitable for an official like you, the court will protect you."

"Benefit the whole area, make political achievements, get promoted and transferred away, even if they are local snakes, they can't do anything to you."

"Don't dare to say in the future. Generally speaking, the general environment of this dynasty is suitable for the survival of officials who are willing to do things. If you do this, the future can be expected and there is a lot to do."

……

Just when Zhu Di was talking with Jiang Jinzhong.

Mao Xiang has already stepped on his horse and galloped towards Jinling City.

He has gained a lot this time, and he has to report it to the emperor as soon as possible...
