The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 125 I've been in a state of bankruptcy

"That's true." Aunt Sun nodded, deeply agreeing.

Seeing that she was not in the way, Hongmei was about to say goodbye to her and take Wu Yuli's mother and daughter away when she heard her speak again.

"Since sister Wangfei wants to entertain guests, it happens that the third lady and I go to sit in Wangfei's yard together when we have nothing to do."

Hongmei: "."

The princess wants to entertain guests, why are you a concubine joining in the fun?
It's a good thing that the Mou family is not an official family, otherwise, they should not pay attention to the prince and the princess, and let the lowly concubines come out to entertain guests. Who is they looking down on?
Wu Yuli didn't seem to have expected that Aunt Sun would join in the fun. She had met this Aunt Sun a few times before, and every time she was arrogant and disdainful to be with them for nothing.

This time you took the initiative to come forward?
When a few people arrived at Xia Jing's small courtyard, Xia Jing also took a look at Aunt Sun in surprise. It was the sun coming out from the west.

"Sister, my sister hasn't visited you since arriving in Lingnan. Are you used to living here?" Aunt Sun was very happy to see Xia Jing.

"How did you come?"

Unlike Aunt Sun's familiar attitude, Xia Jing looked much colder.

A look of sadness flashed across Aunt Sun's face, as if she didn't expect Xia Jing to be so indifferent to her.

She stepped forward and saluted Xia Jing politely, "Sister, do you have a problem with my sister?"

Xia Jing passed her directly, and said to Wu Yuli's mother and daughter who came in behind her, "Come in and sit down."

Wu Yuli glanced at Aunt Sun who was kneeling slightly, hesitated for a moment, then dragged Mou Guangzhen past her and followed Xia Jing into the room.

Embarrassment flashed across Aunt Sun's face, but she adjusted her facial expressions in a split second, as if nothing had happened, she stood up straight and followed everyone into the main room.

As soon as everyone sat down, Aunt Sun slowly waved the round fan in her hand, holding it in a charming manner, "Sister, the whole house belongs to you to cool down here. It's a big summer, and I really enjoy it here with my sister."

Wu Yuli's mother and daughter naturally also felt the coolness in the house. When they heard that Princess Qian's salt shop still sold ice, they were also shocked and envious.

In winter in Lingnan, if it snows, it is a miracle, and such a miracle is impossible.

And Princess Qian is really capable, she can make ice.What I do in this hot Lingnan is the only business, and it is a business that is making money every day. It is a lie to say that I am not envious or jealous.

They believed that when Aunt Sun said this, she must be envious of Princess Qian's ability to make money every day.

Xia Jing didn't bother to guess the inner thoughts of the women below. She waited for the servant girl to serve tea before she looked at Aunt Sun and asked sternly, "It's really my concubine's dereliction of duty. I don't know that it is a punishment for you to enter the palace. Since today Son, if you speak up, I will tell the prince later, and see how he can find a way to relocate you."

"." Aunt Sun never dreamed that Xia Jing would play cards so unconventional, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.

If Xia Jing misunderstood what she said just now, if the lord knew about it, I am afraid that the lord would really believe Xia Jing's nonsense and get her from the palace to the Zhuangzi.

Seeing that she was silent, Xia Jing turned her head and exchanged greetings with Wu Yuli.

Now the whole topic in Lingnan revolves around cleaning up hidden households, re-measurement of fields, and registration books, and Wu Yuli can't avoid this topic.

She said: "This year, our Mou family followed the pace of the princess and opened up a lot of wasteland. The payment of taxes in the past three years has nothing to do with us. It's just that we are new to Lingnan. We are not sure what crops to plant on the wasteland. What does the princess have? good suggestion?"

Aunt Sun, who was sitting next to her, perked up her ears when she heard this. She was also panicking about this matter. She didn't know whether to plant crops according to her own needs or choose what to plant according to the needs of the market?
"Multiple grains!"

Wu Yuli didn't seem to expect the arrangement to be so simple, "Only grow food? Don't you need to grow some other crops?"

"Food is the most important thing, and other crops are just icing on the cake. You can grow a little in the corners of the wasteland."

In today's chaotic world, food and force are the kingly ways of survival, and other dispensable crops can be ignored for the time being.

"Don't you grow fruit?" Aunt Sun thinks that fruit is more expensive than food, and it is more cost-effective to grow fruit than food.

"Fruits can be planted in small quantities, and the mountains and fields in the south of the Five Ridges can be eaten without fruits?" Xia Jing glanced at her.

Aunt Sun sneered, "The princess is right. Food is still important. If food is not important, the prince will not think about reform. The reason is not that he wants to collect more food."

Everyone knows that this reform of Qian Wang's Mansion is to collect more taxes and stockpile food.

It's just that everyone understands it in their hearts, but they just don't want to cooperate.

On behalf of Prince Qian's Mansion, Li Chengshang spoke at length on the stage to clean up hidden households, re-measure the acres, the necessity of registration, and the development prospects of Lingnan.

The people below just responded in silence, saying a thousand words and ten thousand words, and the people in power said extravagant hype, but they had no interest in the local tycoons.

They only know that such a reform has harmed their interests.

King Qian turned a blind eye to the resistance of the people below, with a sensual face full of amiable smiles, "Have said so much, what do you think about this?"

Sitting in the front row are the top-ranked families, and the other is Niu Debao, the chief soldier of the Lingnan Tunbing Guards.

He stood up and asked, "My lord, the re-measurement of the acres this time should have nothing to do with our guards, right? We have military farms there, and there is no way there are hermits."

King Qian looked down at the manuscript that Mr. Zhang had prepared for him, and coughed heavily, "Cough! As for your question, it is exactly what I want to announce next. The reason why I asked you to come to this meeting is because Because the guards are also being cleaned up, the guards have to check the military households, and they have to re-measure the military fields and register them, so the food and grass in the guards need to be proportioned according to the number of military households."

The government of the Dayu Dynasty was corrupt, and many of the military fields in the local guards had long been embezzled by those in power. If we didn’t take this opportunity to rectify it, the army’s food and grass would be a big problem in the future.

When Niu Debao heard King Qian's words, his heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the countless army fields under his name, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that Niu Debao seemed to have no objection, King Qian looked at the others.

Tong Song, the young master of the Tong family, kept waving his fan, with a gloomy handsome face, thinking of the farm cattle, mules and horses he transferred to Xia Jing some time ago in order to please Xia Jing and make friends with the Qian Palace, his heart is bleeding!

He found out that since King Qian's Mansion moved to Lingnan, their Tong family... No, it should mean that the entire Lingnan family has been in a state of bankruptcy.

Especially their Tong family, they have been bankrupt constantly, and they are almost bankrupt until there is no underwear left.

Originally, before King Qian came to Lingnan, their family was firmly seated on the throne of the first family in Lingnan, but now, their family is almost reduced to a second-rate family.

Last time they were forced to pay back the business tax for the shop, and later they were forced to pay back the tax for the wasteland.

They haven't paid the huge tax in the wasteland yet, and the demon moths have started to appear here again.

According to the rules of Prince Qian's Mansion, the farmers and fields in South of the Five Ridges will be reorganized. Without waiting for next year, the government will be able to harvest several times or even ten times more grain this year than in previous years.

"Patriarch Tong?"

After being named by King Qian, Master Tong stood up reluctantly, "As a subject of Dayu, Caomin has always been impartial and law-abiding, and he dare not have any objections to the government orders implemented by the prince."

What he said was a bit out of anger. He didn't dare to have an opinion, it's not that he didn't have an opinion.

King Qian looked at him with a half-smile, "In this investigation, the Tong family will be the first one to be investigated. This king wants to see what happens to the other families in Lingnan with the Tong family as an example."

Hearing this, Master Tong's face was as black as ink, almost dripping ink.

He gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the prince acts according to the law and shows evidence, we will definitely cooperate and set an example for everyone."

"Haha. As long as you are willing to cooperate." Qian Wang looked relieved.

Seeing that King Qian could still laugh at this moment, Tong Song suddenly had doubts in his heart.

He didn't know what cards Qian Wang had, which made him laugh now.

It's just that everyone is adhering to the mentality of taking one step at a time and waiting to watch the show.

"Dayu's law restrains you, and it also restrains this king. This government order will naturally act according to the law."

Hearing this, Tong Song's ominous premonition became stronger.

He knew that all the farm account books in the yamen had been burned, and it was impossible to get them out again.

Just why don't you feel at ease?

He was restless, but he heard King Qian speak again, "According to the terms of Dayu's law, many of you are well-known, and according to the law, those who have merit and fame have a limited amount of land tax exemption. Our The re-registration will be divided according to the amount of tax paid by you, the number of acres of land paid for tax plus the number of acres of land that should be deducted for fame, the calculation is basically the number of acres of land of the Zhugong family, do you have any opinions on this calculation?"

"boom!"

Everyone heard that, the discussion exploded on the spot in the hall!

It's done!

There is such an algorithm?

Which scumbag who kills thousands of knives came up with this bad idea?
In the Yu Dynasty, there were different degrees of quota exemption for those who were famous.

In the past, no matter how much land they owned, they just paid a little tax as a symbol.

If this standard is followed, it means that all the powerful families will suffer heavy losses.

Especially those who like to take advantage of small things, shrinking again and again, until there is nowhere to shrink, they will reluctantly make a symbolic exchange.

This kind of aristocratic family is afraid that after this one time, their assets will shrink by to %.

Everyone understood the meaning of King Qian, and there was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and some people were anxious and distressed that the land would be forcibly confiscated by the government.

Many older people in charge of the family couldn't bear the blow of this decree and passed out directly.

I don't know if they were really dizzy or pretended to be dizzy to avoid liquidation.

It's just that the process of things will not stop due to someone's will, and it is useless for them to pretend to be dizzy.

Hearing the movement of the front office in the backyard, Xia Jing hurried to the front office and found that the government doctor was shuttling around the old men.

Wu Yuli asked in surprise, "Princess, what's going on?"

Looking around again, and noticing that the old man of the Mou family and the second child of the Mou family were standing there, Wu Yuli seemed relieved, but also faintly disappointed.

Xia Jing said in a good mood: "Maybe these people are not in good health and fainted from the heat!"

Seeing Xia Jing coming, King Qian, who was coming to greet him, heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his princess's ability to tell nonsense increased.

The front office was in a mess, and King Qian handed over the remaining matters to the two gentlemen and his sons.

He invited Xia Jing, "Princess, would you like to have a cup of tea in this king's courtyard?"

Xia Jing glanced back at Wu Yuli's mother and daughter, and smiled apologetically: "It may not be convenient, I still have a female relative here."

"It's okay, let's go and sit together when you're here." Qian Wang's playful nature just doesn't care about the defense of men and women.

In his opinion, this is not a big deal.

People who came here in Xia Jing's last days don't pay much attention to the defense of men and women. Just now, they just found a reason casually. Now, seeing King Qian sincerely invites him, and he agrees because he is afraid that he has something to discuss with her.

When the group arrived at the small courtyard where King Qian lived, Anu immediately arranged for someone to wait on the masters.

Sitting down according to priority, King Qian noticed Aunt Sun who was following, and asked, "Why is Mrs. Sun with the princess today?"

If he remembers correctly, this wife and one concubine are two people who hate each other.

Before Xia Jing could speak, Aunt Sun answered first: "I don't know what kind of crops to grow in the wasteland outside the city, so I took advantage of today's free time to ask my sister for advice."

As she said that, she smiled gratefully at Xia Jing: "With my sister's advice, I can now know what I know."

"Oh." Qian Wang looked at Xia Jing with interest, waiting for her to explain.

Xia Jing took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and gave him a blank look, "I have no opinion, but I want to grow more food."

King Qian nodded with a smile: "Food is the most important thing for the people, this opinion of the princess is exactly what the princess wants."

Aunt Sun listened to their conversation, and then watched their interaction, rolled her eyes indecently, and cursed in her heart: Slut, you are still here to seduce men at a very old age, shameless!
Xia Jing didn't know what was going on in Aunt Sun's mind, or else she just slapped her a few times, how could she just say a few words to seduce someone?
It was the first time that Mou Guangzhen had such close contact with King Qian, and at first he was nervously stirring the handkerchief.

Slowly, the excitement calmed down, and seeing King Qian looking at Princess Qian tenderly and affectionately, she felt so sore again, her hands unconsciously began to stir the handkerchief again.

Queen Qian belatedly felt a scorching gaze on him, at first he thought it was Aunt Sun.

However, he turned his head to look for this line of sight, and met Mou Guangzhen's eyes.

Mou Guangzhen's pupils narrowed sharply, she calmed down and smiled at him, then lowered her head in embarrassment.

King Qian was taken aback by this little girl, what's going on?
Based on his decades of experience in love, he knew what this little girl meant, but
He looked back at Xia Jing, thoughtful!
Xia Jing's scalp was numb from being stared at by King Qian, "Why did you ask me to come here? If there is nothing wrong, I will send the guests back first."

King Qian waved his hand, "Let's talk about our matter afterward, you go see off the guests first."

Sitting back in her own carriage, Mou Guangzhen opened the curtains and glanced at the government office behind, then put down the curtains and said, "Mother, I didn't expect the princess to be so magnanimous."

After hearing this, Wu Yuli couldn't figure it out, "What did the princess do that made you think she was generous?"

Mu Guangzhen didn't know what to think of, and smiled sweetly.

She looked at Wu Yuli, "Didn't you notice that when we came out of the prince's courtyard, that auntie Sun didn't come out with me. I think she must have stayed to serve the prince. She was indifferent when facing concubines fighting for favor. , what is not generosity?"
