Chapter 731: The cure for the root cause

"Take the field as an example, it is the salary paid to officials by the court in the form of rice and land rent, but the officials exploited and invaded the fishing people in disguise." Jiang Anyi was obviously a little drunk, his eyes were confused, and his words were vague: "The documents you submitted clearly are written, what are you taking the opportunity to embezzle, donate miscellaneous books, make a forcibly levied, etc., and the people who rented the official fields were miserable."

Liu Yixing poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, saying, "An Yi, you are anxious to drink wine, drink some tea to sober up."

"I'm not drunk," Jiang Anyi pushed Liu Yixing away and continued: "Official invasion of the people's interests is a great harm to the country. The court recommended the tax to be one, light taxes and labor to allow the people to live in. Jiang had thought about why the official land could not be combined with taxes, and eliminated embezzlement and miscellaneous donations. If we go further, the court's original intention was to replenish the salaries of officials, so why not directly use silver and money to convert the salary of the officials, so that the private land of the official land may be cured."

Pan Heyi's eyes were shining and he listened intently. Li Laigao smiled and said, "Brother Jiang's method is good, but he has ruined the official job. At that time, all the eyes in the officialdom will be enemies, and I'm afraid he will be really crushed to pieces."

Jiang Anyi picked up the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "So you can't be anxious about cleaning up the official fields, you need to do it slowly."

Pan Heyi raised his glass and said with a smile: "Heyi has shallow knowledge. I hope you can give me more advice from your elders and brothers. Pan respects everyone."

Under the lamp, Jiang Anyi read at night with candles. Xinfei was sewing a short jacket. The short jacket was easy to make, and practice made perfect. She was about to make a few more before returning to Beijing and replaced the "crazy goods" that Jiang Anyi wore. Xinfei even wondered if she was embroidering something on the short jacket.

"Jiang Lang, Sichen and Siqing asked me to thank you." Xinfei smiled and said, "These two girls are very satisfied with Li Laigao and Pan Heyi. After Jiang Lang returns, he will urge them to come to propose marriage and get married early."

Jiang Anyi pondered for a moment and said, "Here Gao's parents have died. Li Mingxing can make the decision on the marriage. When I return to Beijing, I will go and share the matter with him. Then I will write a letter to inform Li Mingde of the Li family leader. It should be no big problem. But, should I wait a little longer between Siqing and Pan Heyi?"

Xinfei said anxiously: "Although Pan Heyi's family background is not as good as his hometown, I heard from Siqing that he is upright and progressive, and his behavior is somewhat similar to Jianglang. Jianglang, our family cannot be disgusted with the poor and the rich. It would be great that Sichen and Siqing both got married."

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and said, "Vier, I am the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Then Pan Heyi..." He told Xinfei about Pan Heyi's excessive utilitarianism. Xinfei said, "Who doesn't want to be promoted or motivated by scholars? As long as the character is correct and good to Siqing, I don't think it's a big problem."

"I'm not against it. As long as I want to see more, it's all about Siqing's life. You don't want her to marry the wrong man to blame you." Jiang Anyi put down his book and said with a faint look: "Today's family dinner, I intend to mention the method of controlling Tiandao's job to turn rice and rent into silver and money, and said that he would report to the emperor after his thoughts were mature."

Xinfei's eyes jumped and said, "Do Jiang Lang want to try Pan Heyi?"

…………

On July 4, Qingtiansi and his party left Jiangzhou and returned to Beijing. The governor Hong, who was seeing him off in the ten-mile long pavilion, was full of spring breeze and looked like a farewell.

Seeing Kiyotaji's team disappearing on the official road, Liu Changfeng stretched his waist

, smiled and said, "I finally sent the disaster star away. Brother Hong can rest for a few days."

Hong Zhenyang sighed: "Governor Han is still in Jiangzhou, and maybe he will come to Xiangning Mansion when he will come, so he will not be careless."

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door," Liu Changfeng smiled meaningfully, "Xu Ma's face is afraid of a disaster this time."

In addition to the problems found in various counties, Li Laigao and others turned around and found fake accounts at the Bianjia Mansion, wasteland invaded the people's fertile land, and cleverly established the name to collect high land rent and other bad policies. As the direct person in charge, Xu Xiangguo was unable to escape the crime this time. He just waited for Jiang Anyi to report to the emperor after returning to Beijing, and the position of Bianjia in Jiangzhou was over.

Hong Zhenyang glanced at Liu Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, the opportunity is rare. Should you operate it? I can also help you and recommend you to the husband of the Political Affairs Hall."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Hong. I'll invite you to Jiyun Tower tonight." Liu Changfeng said with a smile: "I'm not hiding it. I'll send someone to Beijing to handle some things for two days in the early days of the Tiansi period. Unfortunately, Lord Jiang didn't get in water or rice. Otherwise, if he would say a few good things for me, this matter would be stable."

Hong Zhenyang pointed at Liu Changfeng with his hand and smiled at each other.

…………

On July 15, Jiang Anyi and his party returned to Beijing. The next day, the emperor summoned him at Zichen Hall. He briefly asked a few questions about the cleaning of the official fields in Jiangzhou, and asked Jiang Anyi to hand over the documents to the Zhengshi Hall, and presented the list of meritorious personnel on the trip, and handed over the specific matters to the Zhengshi Hall.

Jiang Anyi saw that the emperor was not very interested in cleaning up the official field. After the report, he returned to the court and listened quietly. The emperor and his ministers were discussing the Northern Expedition with the ministers. It seemed that the Northern Expedition was a foregone conclusion next year, and his internal strength was recovering slowly. I really don’t know whether he could return to normal when he went to the expedition. If he did not have internal strength, the battlefield was dangerous and would be more likely to increase.

After the court meeting, Liu Weiguo called Jiang Anyi and took him to the imperial study room. Shi Fangzhen looked tired and wiped her face with a hot towel to relieve her fatigue. He signaled that Jiang Anyi would not have to be polite, sat down aside and asked about the assassination of the killer. Shi Fangzhen asked, "Anyi, how are your injuries?"

"Long live, the action is no longer hindered, but it will take some time to return to normal."

"If you are not feeling well, you should rest for a while. There is no hurry to do something about Kiyotaji. You can go and see it if you have time." Shi Fangzhen leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly, "Don't worry about the assassin. I have ordered Han Zhi to investigate the people behind the scenes, but now I can use it for the people of the Jianghu. It is not appropriate to wait until the Beimo is pacified. I will make a decision for you."

Jiang Anyi responded to the "member's order". He knew that this matter would probably be left unresolved. It would be at least three or five years later when everything was pacified. Now it is not appropriate to take action due to various considerations. Then other concerns will arise and all the clues will be cut off.

Shi Fangzhen continued according to his own thoughts: "I am determined to go north again in March next year. You can take good care of yourself and follow me to see the scenery of the desert. Then write a few magnificent poems to pass on to future generations."

Jiang Anyi felt discouraged. He was eager to make achievements on the battlefield, but the emperor wanted him to be a minister to record his great achievements. He had to say in silence: "I obey the order."

I returned to Qingtian Department in a bad mood and would accompany him to Jiangzhou to summon the official party, briefly talk about the situation of the saint, give him half a month off, and return to Qingtian Department in August to handle the work, as for the management

The memorials of the official and the vassal state will be handed over to yourself at that time.

Pan Heyi came out of the yamen and walked to his residence in Datongfang. It had been two months since he left, and the mother at home must be looking around. When passing by the meat case of Zhao Butcher Zhao at Fangkou, Pan Heyi bought half of the pig head and a pig heart. He went to Xu Heji to buy a roast lamb leg, wrapped in oil paper and held it in his hand. This time he went to Jiangzhou, and after getting a few taels of Cheng Yi, Pan Heyi was a little more affordable. Thinking that his family was poor, his mother would definitely not be willing to buy meat when she was not at home.

Turning into the alley, the Pan family is the fifth house in the alley. This two-entry house was housed by his father when he was alive. It has been a few years now. The black paint on the door of the house reveals a decay. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the servant Zhang Ma at the house greeted her and smiled and said, "Brother Yi is back. This trip to Jiangzhou is not short."

Pan Heyi's girl is married, and there are only three people in the family. Zhang's mother is a servant introduced by Yaxing. She handed the oil paper bag to Zhang's mother. Pan Heyi walked into the main house and saw her mother sitting in a chair and looking at her with a smile. Pan Heyi knelt down and bowed to pay his respects. Pan's mother said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'm asking Zhang's mother to go out to buy vegetables and welcome my son."

Pan Heyi sat down on the side, took out the silver from his arms and placed it on the table, and smiled and said, "Mom, I have bought a few dishes on the way, so I don't have to go again. I went to Jiangzhou this time and got some Chengyi. Mom, please keep it, don't worry too much about the family. My son is not at home for this time, so my mother looks like she has reduced the amount."

Pan's mother smiled lovingly and said, "You are already at the age of getting married. My mother always wants to marry your wife in a grand manner. If you are a member of the Qingtian Department, don't forget to read the books at night. Next year will be the year of imperial examinations. Obtaining a Jinshi is the serious way to advance."

"What Mom said," Pan Heyi thought for a while and said, "Mom, my son went to Jiangzhou this time and fell in love with a girl."

"Really, I don't know which girl it is? Jiangzhou is not close to the capital. Will this girl marry? How old is that girl? How is she? Are she worthy of Yi'er?" Pan's mother asked in surprise.

Pan Heyi smiled and said, "Is he a Dianshi of Longwei, and he is also the junior sister of Mrs. Jiang. He is the same age as the child, and he is twenty-five years old."

Pan's mother's face sank and said coldly: "Long Wei's reputation is not very good. Although our family is poor, it is also an authentic scholarly family. Moreover, this girl is twenty-five years old, and she can barely force herself at around twenty years old. How can she be worthy of Yi'er at such an old age? My mother will not agree to this marriage."

Pan Heyi wanted to say a few words for Siqing, but Pan's mother stood up and said, "Yi'er, go back to the room to rest. Mom goes to the kitchen to help Zhang Mama make meals, and call you when the meal is ready."

After returning to the study, Pan Heyi was stunned. Siqing's smile was everywhere in his head, and Pan's mother didn't even notice that Pan's mother entered the house. Seeing her son looking at Fang Liang, Pan's mother sighed and said, "Yi'er, I know you are filial and eager to change the situation at home. But the reputation in life is the most important. Our family is poor but cannot ruin its reputation. Although marrying that woman can help you in the career of the officialdom, others behind it will definitely say that you have nepotism. No matter how capable you are, you will inevitably be guided by others. Listen to your mother, if you break off your relationship with that woman, your mother will find a suitable marriage for you. As long as you can pass the Jinshi next year, our family's threshold will be straited by the matchmaker. Why don't you have a real man have no wives?"

"My mom said yes."
