  Chapter 702 What kind of tax system do you want

   Zhao Ming did not come to Luoyang openly, but hid in Zhao Song's team.

  Although Chen County is very close to Luoyang, he is in charge of Yuzhou now. If the officials and the people know that the chief official has left Chen County, troubles may arise.

   Moreover, the border with Yanzhou is not very stable.

  So Zhao Ming took advantage of the rest day to let out the word that he wanted to think behind closed doors, and since he hadn't seen anyone recently, he followed his father to Luoyang.

  He was so busy, so tired, so troublesome, but Zhao Hanzhang came back and told Fu Tinghan about raising pigs and sheep, and he was not in a hurry to see him.

   He is also angry!

  When she saw that she was dressed in civilian clothes, she was even more dusty than him who came from a long way, and she was even more angry, "Hurry up and change your clothes to see me. Such behavior is really hurtful."

  Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Uncle, don't mind. I just came back from the field. Don't you also go to the field every spring when you plow?"

   Having said that, Zhao Hanzhang still took Fu Tinghan down to change clothes.

  Fu Tinghan only had time to raise his hand and gave a half salute, before he was dragged away by Zhao Hanzhang without even bending over.

  Zhao Ming exhaled a breath, refreshed, turned his head and said to Ji Yuan, "Ting Han is the most suitable marriage for her."

  Ji Yuan stroked his beard with a smile and said: "Naturally, they are a match made in heaven. I am afraid that there is no second man in this world who is so tolerant of a girl and dares to submit to her."

   Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to obtain the support of those aristocratic families through marriage, and Ji Yuan does not agree with it, and there are too many variables.

  If another person is replaced, the team may fall apart, and if there are too many things fighting for power and profit, people will forget their original intentions.

  Ming Yu has been listening silently, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said: "The matter of marriage may not necessarily need to be done by the Lord himself."

  He glanced at Zhao Cheng and Ji Yuan, and pointedly said: "It's also very suitable for someone like Zhao Junshou."

   Zhao Cheng's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

  Ming Yu said: "Everyone in the world knows that Shijun and the Zhao family are inseparable, so all the Zhao family's children can be used to marry, strengthen the connection with the noble families of various places, and gain their support."

   Ji Yuan frowned, disapproving in his heart, if Zhao's children were too deeply involved with the local tycoons, Zhao Hanzhang would sit in that position in the future, and Zhao's family would become her biggest obstacle instead.

  Ming Yu glanced at him, and only one stroke of the horoscope, so why worry, it is better to focus on the current interests.

  But Zhao Ming did not agree. When he was in Chen County, after he noticed Zhao Hanzhang's ambition, he became defensive.

Once she really did it, the Zhao family is so powerful that it will definitely become her hindrance. At that time, either she will die or the Zhao family will die. This is a prediction he absolutely cannot accept, so he directly rejected Ming Yu's proposal. "My heart is at peace, and I have no plans to remarry."

  His eyes fell on Ming Yu, and said courteously: "Mr. Ming and Mr. Ji are more suitable."

  The two of them also immediately began to evade.

  They are all aides with great ambitions. They are exhausted and calculating every day, wishing to squeeze out their sleeping time. How can they have time to marry a wife and have children.

  In this troubled world, if you are not sure about the safety of your environment, marrying a wife and having children will only add to the pain of life and death in the future.

  The world is not in peace, why do you get married?

  The three fell silent.

  Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan quickly changed into light clothes. After a busy day, they were so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.

   But Zhao Ming and the others had already had dinner, so she simply asked them to have a barbecue in the open house in the backyard.

   "Hurry up, ask the kitchen to deliver a basket of steamed buns to cushion your stomach."

  After listening to He’s response, he and Fu An ran to the kitchen to get things, and after a while, they brought steamed buns and cut and marinated meat.

  Fu An squatted down to start the fire, put on the stone slab that is often used for barbecue, then stepped aside, took out a large ball of mud from a basket and put it into the stove.

  Zhao Ming frowned, moved his eyes in pain, and asked, "What is this?"

  Fu An explained: "This is a new way to eat beggar chicken, the girl and the gentleman."

  Some time ago, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan often went to the fields. The autumn was crisp and the pheasants were plump, and it was still a bit cold at night.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at the fire and couldn't help but made the pheasant he had brought into beggar chicken.

  But although the pheasant in autumn and winter is fat, the taste is still not as good as that of domestic chicken.

  The home-raised chicken is fat and tender. Stuff some things like **** and mushrooms into the stomach, marinate it carefully with seasoning, wrap it in lotus leaves, wrap it in mud, and throw it into the fire...

  When the beggar chicken is finished, knock the mud and peel it off to become a fragrant and delicate chicken. With a light pull, the chicken legs can be pulled out. Fu An thinks that he can eat one by himself.

  It's a pity that there are not many chickens in the house. After the girl caught two, the cook in the backyard kept a close eye on the chickens, saying that they would keep some until the end of the year, and then they would entertain officials and generals.

  Master Ming came today, and the kitchen killed one. It was marinated in advance and waited for Zhao Hanzhang to use.

  Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming promised: "Don't think it's not good-looking, but it's delicious."

  Zhao Ming snorted softly and said, "You also said that the steamed buns mixed with wheat bran are delicious."

   Seeing her nibble on the gray steamed bun with relish, Zhao Ming felt a little distressed, but he didn't spare her, "There is obviously an easier way to go, you have to force yourself like this."

  He glanced at Fu Tinghan who was like her, who lowered his head and gnawed on the gray steamed bun, and said, "It's going to hurt the people around me too."

  Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and glanced at Fu Tinghan, then raised his head and asked Zhao Ming, "Why did Uncle Ming say that?"

  Zhao Ming said: "Did I mention to you that a few months ago, when the Fan family came to surrender, you only need to raise your hand slightly, and they will give you a lot of money."

  Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "Didn't I let them take part in the recruitment test? As for the matter of buying land, even the seventh uncle is no exception, so how can he not restrain Fan?"

  Zhao Mingdao: "In the troubled times, these small details can be ignored for the time being."

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Are you asking me to settle accounts after autumn?"

  She said: "I don't mind being scolded, but I'm afraid that my ability is limited. Once I open my mouth, I won't be able to stop my hands and feet in the future."

  Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, and simply asked along the topic: "Why do you want to modify the tax law? Don't you know that once you change it, you will be suspected of changing it overnight, and your prestige will be ruined?"

"This is my fault, but I can't continue knowing it's wrong," Zhao Hanzhang said: "If it is not modified and restrained, the small and medium gentry and gentry in Yuzhou and Luoyang will not be able to bear the tax escape, and they may have a heart attack." Opposition."

  Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why not restore the old system? Hanzhang, what kind of taxation system do you want?"

He said: "Tax exemption has always been the king's reward to meritorious ministers, and it is also the glory of meritorious officials. Your grandfather inherited the title of his ancestors, and the fiefdoms he obtained, the right to tax exemption are all leftovers. Therefore, he is loyal to the Jin Dynasty. .”

  Zhao Ming paused and said: "If you want... tax exemption is inevitable."

Good night
