Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 212: A resurgence?

While Zhang Fei was busy tossing about the legal aid, a strange public grievance quietly poured into the capital from all directions.

The inside of the imperial city was immediately blown up.

Ministers are talking about this.

There was public grievance in Gyeonggi, and the emperor naturally knew about it soon, so he didn't dare to be careless about it.

Changing Arch Hall.

"I recently heard that people around the capital are full of grievances. What's going on?"

Zhao Xu asked with a confused face.

I haven't done anything recently, and there are no natural or man-made disasters around, which is really strange.

Censor Lin Dan took the lead to stand up and reported: "Returning to Your Majesty, as far as I know, the surrounding people's grievances are all caused by the land investigation and the payment of deed taxes."

Zhao Xu frowned, "Checking the land and paying the deed tax are all things that benefit the country and the people. Why do the people complain about this?"

I remember that when the court announced the supplementary payment of the white deed, the people were very happy.

Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said, "According to my opinion, there must be a villain who is obstructing it."

Wen Yanbo said: "Scholar Wang has no evidence, so it's unfair to just say that!"

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Although I haven't found out the matter, but if what Lin Yushi said is true, there must be villains who are obstructing it."

Seeing that Wang Anshi's words were convincing, but he didn't find out, Zhao Yan couldn't help asking curiously: "How do you say that?"

Wang Anshi said: "Inspecting the land and paying the deed tax are mainly aimed at those landlords and wealthy gentry, not ordinary people. If there is any grievance, it should also be those landlords and wealthy gentry. It can be seen that the so-called public grievances are also caused by them. If it comes out, the imperial court will ignore it."

Wang Jiefu is really sharp-eyed. He did not send anyone to investigate, but he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Someone must be obstructing it.

The tone is very firm.

Lin Dan said: "Scholar Wang only knows one thing, but not the other! Those landowners and wealthy gentry are not farming the land themselves, but renting it out to tenant farmers.

Although the deed tax is paid by the landlord, the tax is generally included in the rent of the tenant farmers. Now after the land is checked and the deed tax is paid, the tax is paid immediately. This made many tenant farmers overwhelmed, so people complained. "

Wang Anshi snorted: "According to what you say, the court doesn't need to collect taxes?"

"That's not what I meant."

Lin Dan said: "I just think that the imperial court suddenly checked the land and paid back the deed tax, which is too reckless and lacks consideration. I think what Wengong said at the time was very reasonable. This matter is related to people's livelihood, and the imperial court should think twice. "

Wang Anshi directly retorted: "Then let me ask you, should the imperial court pay a salary, should you think twice?"

If the court defaults on your salary, you have to scold the heavens, but the court collects taxes in a serious manner, and you will act as good people by the side, and start worrying about the country and the people. You really know how to be an official.

Lin Dan was also angry, "You are simply making too much sense."

Wang Anshi snorted, "I'm just talking about the facts."

The tone seems to be declaring, I have seen this kind of trick of yours a lot, don't use it to fool me.

Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi with a frown, "If you really talk about the matter, you should clarify the matter, instead of covering it up here."

Wang Anshi opened his eyes angrily: "When did I hide it?"

Sima Guang said: "Then let Lin Yushi finish talking first."

"I thought he was done."

Wang Anshi muttered, but retreated.

Sima Guang's soft Taijiquan, sometimes Wang Anshi really can't stand it.

Lin Dan glanced at Wang Anshi unhappily, and then took out a contract, "This is a lease that I sent someone to find. After reading it, Your Majesty will know why the people complain."

As soon as Zhao Xu waved his hand, an **** immediately came over and handed the lease to Zhao Xu.

After watching it, Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning.

Lin Dan said again: "Your Majesty, although many landlords use white deeds, the real beneficiaries are those tenant farmers, not the landlords."

Wang Anshi angrily scolded: "It's just nonsense, it's not the land that benefits.

My lord, could it be that the imperial court failed? According to the law of my court, taxes are distributed everywhere, how can they transfer the taxes to the tenants, this contract should be regarded as invalid, and the taxes must be borne by the landlord, and cannot be passed on to the tenants. "

Wen Yanbo said: "If the contract is deemed invalid, the tenant farmers will have no land to grow. Who are you punishing?"

Speaking, he said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I think this matter has to be considered at discretion. Even if the imperial court wants to check the land and pay the deed tax, it should not be in a hurry. You can pay the deed tax this year first, but the tax Not counting it for the time being, otherwise, many people will be overwhelmed."

The deed tax cannot be transferred to the tenant farmers, whoever buys the land will bear it, but the problem is that once the white deed becomes a red deed, it will naturally enter the tax payment system, and this will be transferred to the tenant farmers.

"Summer tax is exempt, but what about autumn tax?"

Wang Anshi said: "After the deed tax is paid, but the tax is not paid according to the law, the tax system will exist in name only."

He is still clear-headed. The summer tax has been collected before, and the deed tax is being paid here again. It may be too late, but the autumn tax is definitely in time.

It's not national after all.

Wen Yanbo said: "Don't be alarmist. This is the land after paying the deed tax. The rest of the land still has to pay taxes normally. How can it exist in name only? Besides, this matter was originally caused by a lawsuit. The imperial court It is unprepared, and the people are also unprepared, so it is reasonable to delay for a year."

"If there is another moth next year, will it be delayed for another year, year after year, when will it be off?"

Wang Anshi said to Zhao Xu again: "Your Majesty, the imperial court collects taxes according to the law. If this can be compromised, as long as the imperial court collects taxes in the future, there will be public grievances. This precedent cannot be set."

He knows this way too well, as long as he takes a step back, he can only take a step back.

Zhao Xu nodded, "I'd better investigate this matter first before discussing it."

Wen Yanbo saw it, and said no more.

After Wen Yanbo and the others left, Wang Anshi came out of the hall angrily. When he came to the steps, he stopped suddenly. There seemed to be a person standing beside him. He turned his head to see if it was Sima Guang or who, and asked: "What do you think of this?"

Sima Guang paid no attention to him, looked at his nose and nose, watched his heart, and chanted: "The people don't pay taxes, but the country uses them. The people don't pay them, but the country uses them. "

"Huh!"

Wang Anshi snorted angrily and rushed away.

Sima Guang raised his head, looked at Wang Anshi's back, and laughed, "I told you a long time ago that raising taxes rashly will inevitably fall on the people. You just don't believe it, but now it depends on how you are." The country uses the country without grants.”

Zhang Fei didn't know anything about it, but now he was immersed in the joy of getting new equipment.

"How is it?"

Zhang Fei was wearing freshly baked beach short-sleeves and big shorts embroidered with eagles, and a pair of big clogs on his feet. With a clatter, he made a gorgeous turn in front of Gao Wenyin.

How refreshing.

Gao Wenyin said with a strange expression: "This underwear can only be worn when sleeping."

Although she sewed it, she felt that it was not really beautiful.

"Just don't go out."

Zhang Fei moved his hands and feet, as if he had broken through the shackles, and felt relaxed. Although the summer is relatively cool in the morning and evening, not so hot, but he is really not used to the clothes of the Song people. uncomfortable. Suddenly remembered something, "You wait for a while."

He bounced to the side of the bed again, squatted down, dragged out a small wooden cabinet from inside, opened it, rummaged for a long time, and took out a ball of red cloth from inside.

"Ma'am, can you help me make another pair of shorts like this."

He shyly handed the ball of red cloth to Gao Wenyin.

Gao Wenyin took it and opened it to see that it was a pair of red shorts, "Who are these for?"

Hey Zhang Fei said: "I dress well."

This is the underwear that he traveled with, but he only has this one, and he is really reluctant to wear it normally.

Gao Wenyin asked in surprise, "Can Sanlang wear it?"

Is she

Already know that I am gifted? Zhang Fei shyly said: "These shorts are elastic, just pull it lightly, don't use too much force."

Gao Wenyin pulled lightly and said in surprise, "What material is this made of?"

"It should be cotton." Zhang Fei said.

"Cotton?"

Gao Wenyin took it and took a closer look, "Huh? What's the matter with the elasticity of the trousers?"

"Oh, it's called an elastic band."

"Elastic?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly asked: "What is it made of?"

"Uh, don't ask about this, can you do it?" Zhang Fei asked.

Gao Wenyin said: "Can these pants be worn out to meet people?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "This is the underwear you wear underneath to cover up your talent."

Gao Wenyin asked curiously: "What talent?"

Zhang Fei hehe said: "You will know later."

Gao Wenyin didn't think too much, took a closer look at the shorts, and said: "If Sanlang still has this elastic band, I can help with it. If not, I can only tie it with a rope. No change."

Yeah, there is no elastic band now, so how do you get this thing? If you are in a hurry to go to the toilet, you have to untie a few ropes and don't pull your pants down. Zhang Fei said in frustration: "Forget it."

He stretched out his hand and took Xiao Nei Nei from Gao Wenyin's hand.

Gao Wenyin said: "If you don't have any, it doesn't matter. If it is worn out, I can help you mend it."

Cloth can be mended, but the elastic cannot remain elastic forever. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Forget it! Let it be a family heirloom and pass it on to your son in the future."

"My son?"

Gao Wenyin looked astonished, but she quickly realized that her cheeks flushed immediately, and her bright almond eyes looked at Zhang Fei resentfully.

Knowing that she is thin-skinned, Zhang Fei couldn't bear to continue teasing her, so he said to himself, "Hide my **** first."

He bounced to the side of the bed again, put the underwear in the small box, and stuffed it under the bed.

Gao Wenyin couldn't help laughing.

Just after putting it away, there was a knock on the door, "Third brother, Mr. Benedict is here."

"Got it! I'll be right there."

Zhang Fei said to Gao Wenyin again: "Madam, I'm going out first."

"Huh?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly stood up and said, "Sanlang, are you going out in this suit?"

Zhang Fei said: "I'm too lazy to change, this family, it doesn't matter."

"But no."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly stood in front of the door, "How decent are you when you go out?"

Zhang Fei blinked and said with a smile: "Madam's tone is really like Madam."

"No, I..." Gao Wenyin stomped her feet anxiously, "If Xu Xianggong knows that I made these clothes, he must think it's me!"

"You taught me badly?" Zhang Fei asked uncertainly.

"Yeah."

Gao Wenyin nodded repeatedly.

She is the kind of traditional woman who cares very much about this kind of thing.

"Do you have the ability?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Okay! I'll change clothes."

Changing back into the long gown, Zhang Fei came to the front yard and saw Xu Zun sitting inside with a serious expression on his face, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "My lord father-in-law, what happened?"

Xu Zun glanced at him and sighed: "There is a problem with paying the deed tax."

Zhang Fei asked: "What's the problem?"

Xu Zun told Zhang Fei the reason of the matter.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help sighing helplessly: "It's always the common people who suffer!"

The court wants money, and the landlord wants money. Where does the money come from?

Xu Zun said again: "Now there are people in the court who are discussing that the officials should not have demoted Wang Hong to the capital."

Zhang Fei frowned: "If he comes back, then I will be in trouble."
