Xiangzhou, Lu family.
The head of the Lu family hugged Mrs. Lu and cried: "My little sister is promising, she becomes an official, she stands up!"
The head of the Lu family is a member of the Lu family. Suddenly I remembered something, and hurriedly stood up and ran to the ancestral hall: "I want to burn incense for my parents and ancestors. Our Lu family is no longer the one who sells daughters!"
Ms. Lu Hurry up and follow.
The head of the Lu family knelt on the cushion, holding three incense sticks in his hand, looking at the rows of tablets in front of him, tears were about to fall.
The Lu family has always had strong yin and weak yang. There are many women and capable, and few men but nothing can do.
He is the only man in this generation of the head of the Lu family. Almost all of his sisters got married, and only this little girl was left to travel around.
The head of the Lu family had already thought that if the younger sister had not been married, he would adopt Lu Qing to her name. He could not allow no one to worship the incense after her death.
Now, my sister soared into the sky and directly took up the position of the fourth rank. She is the highest official position in the family!
Mrs. Lu accompanied the head of the Lu family to watch the incense respectfully. The head of the Lu family stared at the tablet and said firmly: "Our Lu family completely surrendered to Duke Yun!"
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth and wanted to say that Xiangzhou is close to Kyoto. If the two sides start a war, the Lu family, which is far away in Xiangzhou, may have difficulty.
The head of the Lu family thought clearly: "With a little sister as a role model, our aunt, Sanniang and Fourth Lady can also be female officials! And that little brat is determined to enter the Guanhe Mansion. Instead of following her, she is the one who wants to join the Guanhe Mansion. It’s better to bet on one end!" Mrs. Lu thought about her daughters, who would be willing to marry someone and become a concubine? ! "Okay, we will visit the Song family tomorrow."
The Lu family and the Song family are getting closer and closer, and this scene also falls into the eyes of many people in Xiangzhou Prefecture.
They dare not take the gamble like the Lu family, but they can still add more chips to Duke Yun.
For example, the Huang family simply sent their heir Huang Jincheng to Hezhong County to investigate the situation.
Because the relationship between Duke Yun and the Great Zhou court has eased recently, the trade routes leading to Hezhong County in each county are gradually recovering.
The ship transport on the Guanghe River has increased by nearly 40% compared with the previous few months.
Huang Jincheng did not follow his cargo ship north, but brought about a dozen guards and boarded the passenger ship.
This passenger ship has a complex personnel, some from Kyoto, some from Guangdong, Guangdong, and even from Nanjun. "Have you read the Yunzhou Weekly? The new establishment of the Economic and Circle Institute of Duke Yun said that he wanted to recruit officials publicly. This is unprecedented."
There is a new report on this." The rich businessman dressed in a businessman, holding a teapot and piled up on the deck. "I've heard of it. No limit on identity, age, household registration, chances are rare! Unfortunately, I can't calculate well, otherwise I have to try it out!" "By the way, that fish scale picture Who has heard of the book? ”
Lao Meng, who was blowing on the deck, raised his ears and recruited three officials in the recruitment announcement, one of which was a drawing and waiting, requiring him to be good at drawing fish scales.
However, Lao Meng has been a clerk for so many years and has never heard of this thing. He has asked all his colleagues about it, but he doesn't know it.
A group of people shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of this thing, and guessed that it should be a new thing made from the other end of Hezhong County.
Obspect this topic and everyone began to talk about the reforms of the three counties in Yunzhou.
"Recently, Duke Yun's actions have become increasingly powerful, like thunder. I believe the three counties will have earth-shaking changes in the future."
Some people are not optimistic about the reforms of the three counties: "Wang Xianggong was trusted by the government back then, and he also said that he wanted to reform, which caused a lot of controversy. In the end, it was not possible in less than a few years of implementation." Lao Meng couldn't help but speak, "Two How can those who can be compared? No matter how Wang Xianggong changed, he did not dare to shake the core interests of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic families were not afraid of him at all. Duke Yun was different. "
Yun Guogong is not as easy to talk to as Wang Xianggong. Who dares to show off in front of her? Be careful of the head falling to the ground.
Many people are vicious and arbitrary because of Duke Yun’s methods.
But Lao Meng knew that only in this way could the reform be advanced.
Huang Jincheng went to Jiangnan some time ago to buy land for the Huang family. As soon as he returned to Xiangzhou, his father sent him to Hezhong Prefecture. He had no idea what big news happened recently.
Huang Jincheng asked the servants beside him to serve some tea for everyone to eat: "Brothers, I just came back from the south and I have never heard of many things. Do you mean the reforms you are talking about referring to the Dharma of the Sutra Realm? ? ”
The pastries brought by the servant include ghee snails, chestnut cakes, and bee sugar cakes.
There is good looks, the taste is good, and the price is good.
Everyone was very conscious and only took one or two pieces, and then he didn't take more.
The short hand of eating people and the fact that this is not a big secret, someone carefully explained it.
"It is not the law of the Jingjie Law. A few days after the promulgation of the Jingjie Law, Duke Yun announced several tax reforms."
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one inside, one Rong Yi is a book and read it!
Huang Jincheng's expression became solemn. If land policy is related to everyone's belly, then tax burden innovation is related to everyone's money bag.
Huang Jincheng asked the servant to get a jar of wine and pour wine for everyone: "Brother, I really haven't heard of this. Please tell me in detail."
It’s better to stay on the boat, chat, drink and join in the fun together. "I heard from my brother-in-law that the three counties want to make fish scale account books, and I don't understand what happened. I only know that their land deeds are printed and the format is the same. You need to manually fill in your name, etc. "
"I am a business merchant, and I am concerned about the commercial tax. The three counties will start to implement a commercial tax gradient system after the New Year, and will be divided into 100 jin according to the value of the goods. The following three percent, 5 percent, and 7 percent were drawn by 1,000 guan, including overt taxes and tax deductions. "
This news immediately attracted merchants from other parts of the deck. "It's so cheap?! As soon as the Sutra Realm Law was released, I thought Duke Yun was planning to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce!"
"I'm good at it. The land tax has been reduced, and the commercial tax has been reduced. Duke Yun still has to raise soldiers. Do they have so much money?"
"Does she have it or not, we'll make money. ! It seems that it was the right time to go to Hezhong County! "
Someone began to have a bad idea: "I heard that the three counties provide interest-free loans. If we use this money to pay the whole goods, we will ship them back Three counties..."
Although the payment for goods requires locals to borrow, if you give locals some benefits, can you get the quota?
Someone in the crowd sneered: "Are you stupid when Duke Yun? You just want to use loans to leverage capital, acquire a large amount of goods, and then be reluctant to sell them, and raise prices!"
The man was so embarrassed that he became upset: "What's your business?"
"It's not my business, I'll remind you that the city of the three counties is not a waste of money. ! You first learn about the punishment of the three counties for maliciously raising prices, so as not to lose their heads."
Huang Jincheng became curious about the three counties after hearing the quarrels.
When he got off the boat and went to the inn to find his younger brother Huang Laosan, he ran away.
"What? They went back to Yunzhou with Duke Yun?!" (The end of this chapter)
