Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Xie Zhan asked Song Mo for a promotion decree. He planned to go to Qingzhou in person and invite Zhang Zhongxian back to Chang'an.

When Xie Zhan came out of the palace, Xie Bai was already ready to travel. He counted a team of 300 people in the army to accompany him.

"We're going to go back quickly, so there's no need to prepare a carriage. I'll ride a horse." It would take too long to go there by carriage.

Xie Bai hesitated, "But it's a long way from Chang'an to Qingzhou." Riding a horse is fast, but it's very hard. Can the head of the family bear it?

Xie Zhan asked someone to bring his horse over and said, "No need to say more." Taking a carriage and going fast would not be much more comfortable, even if they took the official road.

"Take care of the family." Xie Zhan told Xie Nan.

Xie Nan agreed.

At this moment, the servant brought his horse.

Xie Zhan took the reins, got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, "Let's go!"

Xie Bai quickly rode up to follow, and the cavalry team behind him immediately shot out like arrows.

Fan Yang, Xie Nan and others watched them leave.

Xie Nan: "The head of the family works too hard."

Fan Yang was silent.

At this time, someone came from the main courtyard to ask about the whereabouts of the owner of the family, but Xie Nan blocked him back. He had already learned about what Mrs. Zhao Yutan had done, and was disgusted.

Xie Nan felt that the head of the family was good enough to the Zhao family. From the beginning of the exile and the years in the Southland, the head of the family had been taking care of the Zhao family. After returning to Chang'an, he still supported the Zhao family and never left them.

It's not like the head of the Zhao family didn't see the plight of the Zhao family, he just wanted to solve it for them later.

Xie Nan doesn't think there's anything wrong with the family leader's behavior. As the saying goes, the main branch hasn't developed well, so why are their branches in such a hurry?

Xie Bai said that the wife probably panicked when she saw that the head of the family had two concubines at once.

Xie Nan felt even more ridiculous. The head of the family took concubines in order to better control the court. To put it bluntly, if the Zhao family couldn't provide any help, would the head of the house need to take concubines?

Madam and the Zhao family are just a bunch of sluggish people!

……

As the governor of Pingzhou, Lu Songli's schedule is kept secret, especially when going out.

This trip to Qingzhou was like this.

She first set off from Changli, went to Liaodong Academy in Houcheng, and then arrived at Jintaizhuang from Houcheng.

When Lu Songli set off from Jintai Military Region, Qin Sheng directly brought out two thousand people.

At that time, two thousand people will board the ship together, and three hundred elite guards will accompany them. The remaining people will be arranged on other ships. After arriving in Qingzhou, the ship would be moored at the dock, and these people would stay on the ship to provide support.

Qingzhou is quite a safe place for Lu Songli. After all, Young Master Wu Renji and others have also been operating in Qingzhou for a long time.

After the trip, Lu Songli took off her palace clothes and put on men's clothes.

When passing through Houcheng, Qin Sheng hesitated and asked Lu Songli, "Lili, my father-in-law is currently at Liaodong Academy. Do you want to go and see him?"

"We've already met. Let's go directly to Fang County."

"oh oh."

When passing through Houcheng, their group was stopped.

Qin Sheng was about to go out to see what was going on, when his father-in-law's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Daughter, is your father coming up?"

Qin Sheng quickly opened the car curtain and asked his father-in-law to come up.

After Lu Desheng got on the carriage, he found that it was a bit crowded for three people. He was about to let his son-in-law go out to ride a horse. He had just seen Zhui Feng, and saw the long-handed and cheap son-in-law huddled in the corner of the carriage as much as possible, making it clear that he did not want to go out. never mind.

Seeing Lu Desheng, Lu Songli was quite surprised, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Dad is going to see you off."

Debating with those stubborn donkeys every day made him feel bald.

He had been wondering before if he could find something for them to do.

Unexpectedly, when my daughter passed by before, she actually gave them an idea - to run a newspaper.

What a great idea!

Now Chen Dinghuai, Pan Sitong and others were already immersed in the matter of filing newspapers, so he just ran away.

On the way to Fang County, the father and daughter couldn't help but talk about Lu Songli's target person in Qingzhou.

"Zhang Zhongxian is indeed a great talent." Lu Desheng sighed. He was later reused by Emperor Kangcheng, and he still had Zhang Zhongxian's legacy.

Zhang Zhongxian is a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, and he is also a good official who cares about the country and the people.

In the 23rd year of Tianxi, Zhang Zhongxian, who was then the Secretary of Duzhi, proposed tax reform to Emperor Kangcheng. He proposed to clear the land and expand the scope of tax collection. He also gave a discount, suggesting that "only for There is a tax on the fields, but no tax on the heads of Dingkou'.

Emperor Kang Cheng looked at it, pressed it, and kept it in place.

Zhang Zhongxian found that his proposal was not adopted, thinking that the idea was not comprehensive enough, so he continued to improve his tax reform proposals, and even mentioned simplifying tax items, etc., and kept making twists and turns.

He mentioned in the excerpt how much more tax Dali could collect every year if this tax system was implemented, which finally made Emperor Kang Cheng feel itchy.

Emperor Kang Cheng thought it would be a good idea to let him give it a try.

This naturally encountered strong opposition from the powerful noble class.

If this tax reform is implemented, how much more tax will they pay every year?

These powerful people had such a big opinion against Zhang Zhongxian that they even joined forces to list the charges against Zhang Zhongxian.

There was too much opposition, and Emperor Kang Cheng had no choice but to dismiss Zhang Zhongxian, and the tax reform failed.

This is also the reason why Lu Desheng was favored later and the dignitaries did not go to war. It is better for the emperor to favor Lu Desheng than to favor Zhang Zhongxian.

It can only be said that Zhang Zhongxian appeared at the wrong time. If he met Emperor Kang Cheng who had just ascended the throne, it might have happened.

In his middle and later years, Emperor Kang Cheng was no longer ambitious in governing the world, but Zhang Zhongxian was eager to shave his head.

In the end, Emperor Kang Cheng was annoyed by him, but Emperor Kang Cheng knew that he was a talent, so he sent him back to his hometown.

During the lifetime of Emperor Kangcheng, Zhang Zhongxian had several opportunities to return to the center of power in the Chang'an court or be recommended by his colleagues, but he was suppressed by Emperor Kangcheng.

At that time, Emperor Kang Cheng was already running out of energy and naturally did not want to use strong medicine on Dali.

As a great talent, he was treated coldly for ten years and was not allowed to be reused for ten years. I can only say that drinking ice for ten years will eventually cool your blood.

Lu Songli has studied the tax reform proposed by Zhang Zhongxian. He tied taxes to the fields rather than to the heads and mouths.

This kind of tax system is very advantageous for the present. After all, land is the means of production.

This can be regarded as the prototype of a whip method.

The Yiyi whip method is to combine the land tax, corvee, and all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in various states and counties into one, collect silver tael in a consolidated manner, and pay it per mu.

Such a simplified tax system not only facilitates tax collection, but also deprives local officials of the opportunity to take advantage of tax.

The Yiyi whip method was proposed by Gui E in the Ming Dynasty, but it was only fully popularized by Zhang Juzheng in the Chao Dynasty fifty years later.

Zhang Juzheng relied on a whip to forcefully extend the life of the Ming Dynasty for fifty years.

Such a great talent was the reason why Lu Songli decided to go to Qingzhou.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to leave Xie Zhan with such a person.

She knew Dali's problem, and Xie Zhan must have understood that it was time for Dali to take strong medicine.
