I am the king of the dead

There are fourteen families in Jiangxi, the most prominent of which is the Jinxi Lu family. Its ancestor is Lu Jiuyuan, who is as famous as Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, the Lu family adheres to the same structure of the family and the country, eating together in the stove without separating the family, the parents take charge of the housekeeping, and the rest perform their duties.

"I have met Uncle Shi." Yao Long first performed the courtesy of a junior.

Nowadays, although the Lu family of Jinxi presents hairpin tassels and writes in Wenzhouli, there are not many children of the Lu family in the court. Yao Long's gift from the younger generation can be said to give Lu Laixuan enough face.

Although Lu Laixuan looked normal, he still said with a smile: "Nephew, sit down, come to watch tea, serve good tea."

Yaolong Yipin, Mengding nectar, this is a tribute, so I don't drink it anymore.

You can only drink this product with the Qigong card, and Yao Long also drank it at Ningyang Hou Chen Mao.

After Chen Mao put down Ye Zongliu and Deng Mao's seven people's rebellion, Yao Long was sent to Anmin, Fujian, and cooperated very well with Chen Mao, sorting out the farm law on the ground in Fujian in an orderly manner.

It's okay for Yao Long to drink Mengding Manna at Chen Mao's place, because that is the preferential treatment given by His Majesty's Miracle Card, but drinking Mengding Manna in this Bailudong Academy is an arrogance.

No one here has a miracle card.

The price of this Mengding nectar is roughly equal to that of gold.

Yao Long and Lu Laixuan exchanged some pleasantries, and asked each other about their family situation. The two of them could be regarded as having some connections, and they could be regarded as family friends.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yao Long said: "Uncle Shi, I came here this time to talk about the farm law. I don't know what Uncle Shi thinks."

Lu Laixuan sighed heavily and said, "Nephew, since you didn't come here as Fang Bo, I'll talk to you carefully."

"You said that you are living a good life, so how come you want to implement the farm law? Isn't that the military and health law? Let me see, the court's actions are completely unknown."

"Our two families also bought Tian Zhisheng and Zigao Luli. We bought the land. We didn't steal or rob it. Even the day when the Beilu sage entered the Central Plains, there was no saying that he robbed the land. Now, the court What's the point of saying take it away?"

Buy Tian Zhisheng, and invest in Gaoluli.

How this field was "bought", everyone knows in their hearts, they are all with high-ranking surnames, and there are a lot of shit in other people's families.

Yao Long narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "For three years in Zhengtong, Jiangxi Dao asked for silk and destroyed the fields to plant mulberries, and the next year they asked for white grain and then destroyed the mulberries. This time and again, Shibo's family has added [-] hectares of land."

"In the seventh year of Zhengtong, there was a drought in Jiangxi. The imperial court helped the victims, and Shibo's family rushed to buy it. Shibo's family added a thousand hectares of land. That year, the people in Jiangxi starved to death for dozens of miles, and the people changed their sons to eat."

"As far as I know, half of the [-] hectares of fields in Shibo's house are now deserted."

"Shibo, do you want me to continue?"

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why bother to be sloppy?

The annexation of the strong and the powerful has become more and more fierce, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused countless people to flee their fields. Up to now, only half of the Lu family's more than [-] hectares of land are planted.

Did Lu Laixuan have no idea why the common people fled to the fields?

Lu Laixuan's complexion immediately became ugly. He already understood that Yao Long came here with the order of the court.

Lu Laixuan said with an unhappy face: "Did the nephew come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?"

Yao Long sat upright and didn't look at Lu Laixuan, instead he said: "I came from Zhejiang to Fujian, and then received Jiangxi Uncle. The betrothal gift in Zhejiang is only eleven or two silver coins, and the betrothal gift in Fujian is only four silver coins. Up to more than 20 pieces."

"Why is this so? The people are suffering."

"Songjiang Mansion is connected to nine provinces. It collects and distributes goods from all over the world. Some of them are money and some are silver. What about the Jiangxi prefectures?"

"The people are in poverty, they have no food in their hands and no fields under their feet. How can they live?"

"A baby girl drowned with four sticks, and the folk customs were aggressive and tax-resistant. The imperial court exempted the Yimen gentry from high taxes and corvee service, and had the honor of exempting them from kneeling when they saw officials. The imperial court gave them preferential treatment for the sake of the herdsmen in the land."

"Is the land safe? Is the civil industry?"

Yao Long was probably the first person in the Ming Dynasty to link dowry with regional development. He found that the richer the Ming Dynasty, the heavier the dowry, and the poorer the place, the heavier the dowry.

The betrothal gifts in Songjiang Mansion are also different, even if they don't need cash, they need other things, he just calculates it at a discount.

Lu Laixuan was speechless when asked.

Yao Long's tone became more severe, and he said coldly: "The common people borrow rice to support the gentry and righteous families, but they can only slurp chaff to satisfy their hunger!"

"His Royal Highness, discussing public morality and discussing power and righteousness, only enjoys the rights, but does not fulfill the obligations. How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"Shibo!"

Lu Laixuan shuddered suddenly, looking at Yao Long who was covered in cold air, he knew that he was really angry.

There were bursts of crisp bells, the sound of reading books slowly dissipated, and the sound of footsteps came.

For the gift of the Son of Man, the winter is warm and the summer is clear, and the morning is calm and quiet.

When the time came and it was time for the ceremony, hundreds of students gathered from the academy to the ancestral hall.

Three stacks of drumming.

Many disciples shouted and sang in unison: "Listen, listen! I am born with the laws of nature. If you are still lazy, you will be hungry and cold. Don't complain about your life when you are hungry and cold. There are gods in the sky to listen!"

Yao Long heard "Jiu Shao's Precepts and Rhymes", which is Lu's family motto.

There were three beeps on the chime, and there was another burst of shouting: "Listen! Food and clothing are fixed by God, and greed for wine and meat will reduce your lifespan. Too much business is against the destiny!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Yao Long's mouth, and he stared blankly at the direction of the sound, beating the drum and the chime, which is called "drum and chime gather together to serve as a warning for singing".

Yao Long also sang this kind of etiquette when he was a child. The words are different, but the meaning is the same.

After beating the drum three times and knocking the chime three times, there was another rush of shouting: "Listen to it! I will repay my filial piety and brotherhood, and I will answer my heart with diligence and thrift. Don't let your delusional thoughts compromise your true nature!"

"Listen! Listen! Listen!"

"Early and fierce!"

After the fainting ceremony was over, Yao Long looked at Lu Laixuan.

He hoped that the head of the White Deer Cave Academy, the head of the Jinxi Lu family, could listen to the family precepts of his ancestors, to hear that the management was too contrary to the destiny, and to hear that the delusion should not damage the truth.

Lu Laixuan's expression softened a little, and he turned sideways and whispered a few times to the people next to him, and then said with a smile: "My nephew is here, it's already time to faint, eat first, talk while eating, save time to go back and say , the uncle's etiquette is not good enough."

Yao Long closed his eyes for a moment, he knew that this meal was not delicious, not that it was not delicious, but that this meal must be Yingyingyanyan, silk and bamboo orchestra, maybe Lu Laixuan would promise Dazong's daughter to him as a child .

This kind of thing happened to Yao Long once in Fujian.

Yao Long opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes flashed.

"Master Lu Shan, have you made up your mind?" Yao Long's tone became stiff. It was no longer his nephew, but Yao Long, the Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi Province.

At this time, his momentum changed, and he immediately became domineering.

Yao Long stood up abruptly and said, "Master Lu Shan thought that a word-drawing tactic would cause a lot of discussion in the court? Yu Shaobao drew a long-term strategy. Is there someone in the court who can speak for this matter?"

"There are not five hundred court scholars in Jiangxi, but there are three hundred. Why are they silent?!"

Lu Laixuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Yao Long tremblingly, but he couldn't say a word.

"Is it true that His Majesty can't deal with you?" Yao Long shook his head and said, "Right now, Daming is pitting three people against one another. Implement the Farm Law?"

Lu Laixuan slowly let go of his hands. Now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhi, is from Jiangxi. Will Wang Zhi not give the Jiangxi Dynasty a non-commissioned officer?

Wang Zhi had long since severed contact with the Langya Wang family. After Wang Zhi died, he would be buried in the Jinshan Cemetery instead of returning to his hometown.

The current Shaozai of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Shilang, and Wang Ao, the doctor of the Anti-Corruption Department, are His Majesty's eagle dogs. The anti-corruption and corruption are ruthless and extremely cruel.

Yao Long is that a threat?

What Yao Long said was the truth.

A word from His Majesty can cut off the official career of the entire Jiangxi Taoist priests, and Wang Zhi will not say a word for them.

Yao Long continued: "Jingtai will take the five-year examination, and the number of Jinshi will be 230. The extra ones will be Enke. Your Majesty will not give Jiangxi one Enke. May I ask, can the [-] eight academies in Jiangxi continue to operate?" ?”

"Will those gentry who take one bite at a time today peel off your skins, cut off your heads, and send them to the capital?"

"Poetry and gift hairpin tassels, is the demeanor of a famous family a life-saving talisman?"

Lu Laixuan's complexion turned pale, and then turned red again, he was speechless.

Yao Long breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Lu Laixuan, and continued: "Your Majesty, be gentle, just ignore Jiangxi affairs."

"Do not implement the farm law in Jiangxi, nor implement the new law in Jiangxi, directly cut off work-for-work in Jiangxi, and do not even set up Baoyuan bureaus in various prefectures and counties."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to do anything. Everyone else has passed the summer, and we are still in the winter sequence. May I ask, Master Lu Shan, will we still be able to collect rent by then?"

"Shandong Dongbo Pei Lun, that's Yu Shaobao's classmate! It wasn't until this tour of His Majesty's south that the knot in His Majesty's heart was solved."

"All the people in Shandong cheered and cheered, and even celebrated on the [-]rd day to celebrate His Majesty's stay in Jinan Mansion. The rich people in Shandong can't wait to send their daughter to His Majesty's dragon couch!"

"Master Lu Shan, don't you really know?"

Lu Laixuan finally lowered his head. Today, His Majesty is really a monster, with too many tricks to handle.

Yao Long flicked his sleeves and said in a gentle tone, "So, Your Majesty is benevolent!"

"White Deer Cave Academy has caused an incident of Dengwen Drumming, His Majesty is still willing to make an edict, so that it is easy to talk and discuss. Such a long imperial edict written in handwriting can be said to be sincere and sincere."

"It won't work once, His Majesty's second will is coming soon, and it is still tireless. The king loves the people like a son, and the people love them like their parents. The cry is loud to respect the king's father, and the filial piety is to serve the holy will."

"Why do you have to make His Majesty unhappy and provoke the fury of Thunder?"

If His Majesty doesn't want to lose face when dealing with the Jiangxi matter, there is a way to not lose face, just ignore it, and Jiangxi will be exhausted from torture.

The roads in other provinces are hardened, but Jiangxi does not.

Waterways in other provinces have been dredged, but Jiangxi has not.

All other provinces have Baoyuan bureaus, but Jiangxi does not.

At that time, crying and begging His Majesty for mercy?Can I ask for mercy?

Back then when Li Binyan was assassinated in Yanzhou Mansion, His Majesty's pain was still there. The previous Fang Bowan in Shandong had all been beheaded, and the Confucian Mansion was taken over by one pot. The pain in His Majesty's heart still remains.

These years in Shandong have not been comfortable at all. It can be said that they are only envious of his family's jungle, and their own young seedlings are not in spring.

If Jiangxi must be forced into this situation and predicament, he, Yao Long, can pass the C-level exam, so he can pat his ass and leave, even if he goes home and becomes a rich man, it will not be a problem.

But what about Jiangxi?

"Uncle, don't be obsessed with it anymore." Yao Long's title changed from Lu Shanchang to Uncle Lu again.

Yao Long did his best.

He proceeded step-by-step with courtesy first, and then explained the facts and reasons. He dismantled the problem, crushed it, broke it down, and explained the consequences clearly.

Yao Long knew that His Majesty had mobilized [-] Beijing troops stationed in Nanya and was on their way here.

Yao Long approved Lu Yin, he was indeed asking for help, His Majesty gave him support, so he had the confidence to speak like this.

Seeing that Lu Laixuan was speechless, Yao Long said again: "Besides, His Majesty returned the ship's certificate, and the maritime trade is in full swing. It's better to go to Wanli Haitang to open up a manor than to disobey orders, isn't it?"

"But..." Lu Laixuan hesitated to speak.

Chapter 712 Chuanze is nasty, and the mountains hide disease

Lu Laixuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, his complexion gradually recovered and he said: "Even if I, the Jinxi Lu family, have offered to the emperor, so what?"

"There are 230 and eight schools in Jiangxi Academy. Is it possible that the nephew wants to persuade each family?"

"Nephew, it's better to put down the official business and only talk about personal friendship today, regardless of official business."

Lu Laixuan was also hesitating just now, but finally made up his mind to continue with the previous decision without violence or cooperation.

Yao Long sneered, shook his sleeves and said, "Master Lu Shan, let's do it for ourselves."

Yao Long's mouth is almost worn out, he is a majestic Fang Bo, and he has given the Bailudong Academy enough face by coming to this Bailudong Academy, but Lu Laixuan is still stubborn, still stubborn.

Good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, talking too much is useless, so Yao Long turned around and left.

"Nephew... eh..." Lu Laixuan stood up, but Yao Long had already walked out the door.

Yao Long stood in front of the gate of Bailudong Academy, exhaled forcefully, and then dispelled the boredom in his heart, and looked back at the huge Bailudong Academy, knowing that he would not be like this anymore Mild.

Just as Yao Long was about to drive away, he saw a group of slightly immature faces. These children were male and female. It was raining, but these children were wearing straw sandals and a bamboo hat.

One of the six or seven-year-old boys didn't even have a bamboo hat.

They were dirty, their clothes were tattered and patched one by one, lying on the water embankment of Guandao Creek, their eyes were full of spirituality, and they stared blankly at the huge academy with longing expressions.

The row of small faces, each one is yellow and thin, each one is skinny, and each one is full of aura, their eyes are full of longing for the sound of reading.

At this time, more than a dozen children of the same age walked out of the courtyard where the second group of three entered and exited. Their smiles, even in the rain, were still so brilliant. They were wearing pure white satin Confucian robes, behind them There is also a book boy holding a bookcase and holding an umbrella.

A group of thin children lay on the water embankment and looked at the academy expectantly. A group of brocade-clothed children walked out of the academy with book boys, smiling all over their faces.

Yao Long stood quietly like this, watching this scene with a pale face, as if a sharp claw passed through the hall, grabbed his heart fiercely, and squeezed it hard.

He finally understands!
