My country, you can pinch it

Here, Marquis Xiling brought Shang Jinling and Gao Xueli into the study, pointed to the table and said, "You two should be most concerned about the New Deal, come and have a look."

Shang Jinling and Gao Xueli glanced at each other, Gao Xueli picked up the paperwork on the table, it was very thick, it could be seen that there was a lot of content, Gao Xueli gave some of it to Shang Jinling, and after reading the documents in his hand, they exchanged with each other.

There was no sound in the room for a while, Xilinghou frowned, with a hint of worry in his expression, obviously he had already seen it.

Yang Shenxing came to the stage, no matter the capital or the place were watching, waiting for his next move, but unexpectedly, the movement was huge.

"Three Departments of Regulations." Shang Jinling looked at the name, "Is this another department also intended by Mr. Gao?"

Gao Xueli nodded: "There are many new policies and laws, which lasted for a long time. It is necessary to have a special person to preside over the follow-up and take care of the overall situation. Therefore, we set up a separate department of regulations, which is independent of the six departments." This is the result of joint discussions between Gao Zixiu and Yang Shenxing in the early years , Gao Xueli was not surprised, his face softened a little, "Master Yang really set it up according to this."

In fact, in future generations, a special department or group will be set up, but what Shang Jinling cares about is: "Brother-in-law, where do these officials come from?"

Gao Xueli replied: "Accordingly, the Department of Regulations will transfer six departments to be in charge, including the Ministry of Taxation and Law of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Water Conservancy, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Rites for the Imperial Examination, the Ministry of Officials to select officials, and the Ministry of Military Affairs to jointly improve the constraints, and select newly promoted Jinshi as documents."

Shang Jinling looked at the list in his hand and said: "That's a pity, most of the people elected are the people of Duan Wang."

Gao Xueli has been away from the capital for too long, and he is relatively unfamiliar with these officials. However, Shang Jinling said that there are nine out of ten chances. He could only sigh: "It really is a good opportunity to make money. If there is no accident, implement it as soon as possible." The regulations must be related to money."

Shang Jinling held up the detailed official document in his hand, and said coolly: "Immunity method in February, leveling infusion method in March, in just two months, two great methods have been implemented, and they are both good ways to make money. "

Moreover, Shamenguan was thousands of miles away from the capital, so the news that it was delivered to the Marquis of Xiling was delayed by a month.

The so-called immunization law does not directly exempt the people from corvee, but replaces it with money. Those who are rich but unwilling to serve can be redeemed with money. After collecting the labor money, the government hires people who have no money to repair water conservancy roads, so as to achieve a win-win situation. Act of.

"It seems to work, but how much money the common people have, there are very few that can be redeemed, so it is necessary to divide the official households, temples and Taoist temples that do not need to serve in the first place. A little bit, but it will be a huge sum in the end.”

Shang Jinling pointed to the regulations and said that the Marquis of Xiling couldn't help asking after hearing this: "In fact, most of the money is in the hands of these people, and they call their slaves and maidservants. It is also a good thing for some people to be compensated for the delay in farming due to service.”

"But grandfather, it's too fast." Gao Xueli said, "If you do this, the money will not reach the hands of the common people."

Xilinghou frowned.

Shang Jinling said: "As long as the flow of money is concerned, it must be monitored and restrained, so that every money can be implemented. Once this law is promulgated, as long as the Department of Regulations puts pressure on the local government, the money of these big households cannot be reduced. , but it will only flow to the imperial treasury, the pockets of officials involved in the New Deal from bottom to top, and the hands of the king. As for the common people, as long as there is no increase in corvee, thank God."

"Then isn't this policy...not a good policy?" Marquis Xiling couldn't help looking at Gao Xueli.

Shang Jinling said: "A strategy is a good strategy, but you can't act too hastily, otherwise it will be a double-edged sword and run counter to the original intention."

In later generations, before the promulgation of any laws and regulations, there will be a large number of surveys, online and offline public opinion questionnaires, and in-depth urban and rural field investigations. After all these preliminary preparations, one or more cities will be selected for pilot results.

Two regulations were promulgated in less than three months like this, without any preparations, just slapped the head, and nothing happened.

Gao Xueli had discussed in detail with Shang Jinling many times before, and he had a new understanding of the New Deal. He sighed: "Isn't it the case with the Pingshu method? Balance, but in the process of implementation, how can it be so easy, one link after another, involves too many people and things, if it is done in a hurry, it will be full of loopholes, alas..."

Shang Jinling's worrying presuppositions have gradually come true, Gao Xueli looked at this light official document, and his heart became extremely heavy.

However, these have nothing to do with the Xilinghou Mansion.

"Lingling, Xueli, the old man has read it carefully, and he didn't mention the military reform. Do you think it will take a while?" Xilinghou asked.

For the Xiling Hou Mansion and even the Shang Family Army, the most closely related thing is the military reform law.

Gao Xueli said: "The biggest problem for the imperial court today is the emptiness of the national treasury and the perennial deficit. The next measures must be to collect money, so the military reform will not be too fast."

Xilinghou was slightly relieved.

However, Shang Jinling said: "But you can't relax. Once the Xiongnu slow down, it will not be so easy to disturb the Xiling Hou Mansion quietly. So, grandfather, I guess it will affect us in the second half of the year." .”

Gao Xueli nodded together.

Marquis Xiling's eyes suddenly deepened, and he waved his hand, "Okay, I know what's in mind, go ahead, wait for Chuqing and the others to arrive, and then worry about it."

Gao Xueli and Shang Jinling resigned, Shang Jinling looked at Gao Xueli's heavy face, and said, "Brother-in-law, it's still early, can I sit with you?"

"Naturally."

The courtyard of Gao Xueli and Shang Xiyun is not much different from that of the other seven sisters. There is a small school yard in front of them, which is used by Shang Xiyun to practice guns when he is in the mansion.

But when I entered the study, I felt that there were many more books. There were rows of bookshelves filled with books, more than Shang Jinling's study when he was in Fang's house.

It can be described as a spectacle in the Xilinghou Mansion.

Seeing Shang Jinling marveling at the rows of bookshelves, Gao Xueli couldn't help laughing and said: "If you are interested, you can take it away and have a look, and just come back after reading it."

"Okay." Shang Jinling was not polite, lingering in front of the bookshelf, occasionally flipping through, but found a few books on geography, Northwest scenery and other gossip.

Although there are many books, it is not easy to find serious books related to the imperial examination in the Northwest. After the Gao Xueli Examination compares Shang Jinling's knowledge, he is ready to write a lesson plan for him himself.However, he has not touched the imperial examination for more than ten years, and it is still difficult to pick it up again.

"Lingling, I have already sent a letter to my ex-friends, asking them to send over some exam questions from the colleges in the past few years. With your knowledge, it will be of great benefit to make a few more sets that are familiar with the familiar format."

"Brother-in-law can arrange it."

As Shang Jinling said, he took down a book from the bookshelf. He had already taken four books and was about to make up five, but when he opened the front page to read the contents, he couldn't help being stunned, and then looked at Gao Xueli.

"Brother-in-law..."

Gao Xueli turned back: "What's the matter?" He walked over.

Shang Jinling regretted it as soon as she said it, and now she can only show Gao Xueli the book in her hand.

If it is said that a dandy like Liu Ke, who knows at a glance that he is ignorant and incompetent, reads romance scripts, although it is against harmony, it can be justified, but a serious high school etiquette... Shang Jinling is a bit hard to imagine.

Gao Xueli flipped through it puzzledly, blushed after a while, and stammered: "This may be... I didn't read the content carefully before, so I just bought it here. I didn't expect... I will burn it later!"

Think about Liu Ke being shy and embarrassed when Shang Jinling knew about reading this kind of book, let alone Gao Xueli, whoever's child would have his leg broken reading this or that!

Although Gao Xueli is Shang Jinling's brother-in-law, but now he is also a teacher. If the students see him, he would like to get into the cracks of the ground, even if he is said to be old and disrespectful.

However, Shang Jinling stopped him and said, "Hey, brother-in-law, don't burn it, can you give it to me?"

Gao Xueli was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Do you want to see it?"

Shang Jinling shook his head, "No, some people like to watch it." When he said this, he couldn't help but think of "Xiangguo's Daughter Taming Her Husband", Liu Ke's mouth was stiff but he knew the plot well, and couldn't help curling the corners of his lips , "He doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to read this kind of script to pass the time, the more bloody the better, brother-in-law, give it to me."

Shang Jinling put the book together and put it away with the other four books. Gao Xueli wanted to stop it, but after saying that, it was not good to come back again, so he could only say: "Ling'er, other people can read this kind of book, but you can't." Look, you are still young, and you are accidentally ignorant about...love, so you have to focus on reading, and you must not lose your temper." Gao Xueli cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, but thinking about it as a teacher, he still has to Advised, "Men and women are different, they all need to treat each other with courtesy, even if you have someone you admire in the future, you must not exceed the etiquette, remember?"

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will remember." Shang Jinling assured.

This kind of private exchange between men and women is not exciting at all. In the era when TV dramas, movies and novels are overwhelming, Shang Jinling really doesn't have much interest.

Unavoidably entangled in this matter, Shang Jinling asked, "Brother-in-law, are you planning to write a letter to the capital?"

Gao Xueli was surprised.

Shang Jinling smiled and said, "You care so much about the New Deal, even if the other party is Yang Shenxing, I'm afraid you don't want to just watch him go to failure."

Hearing this, Gao Xueli nodded: "According to the speed at which this new law is promulgated, Lingling, I guess the Seedling Law is not far away. As long as I think of the example you once cited, I think of the common people. They really can't wait. Come on!"

But Shang Jinling said flatly: "This letter is useless."

Does Yang Shenxing really not know?He just can't help it.

He has already taken the reins from Xinzheng's Mercedes-Benz carriage, and he can't decide whether it's speed or direction.

Gao Xueli smiled wryly and said: "I know, I'm not the father, but just a commoner. I'm not qualified to tell Mr. Yang Ge what to do, but if I don't write, I can't get over my own hurdle. Lingling, if you can persuade him at all, slow down It is worthwhile to give the people a chance to breathe, otherwise... this Dashun will be over."

He couldn't bear it, showing regret.

Shang Jinling has never met Gao Zixiu, but everyone says he is the most virtuous and respected Confucian. When he was exiled, thousands of students sent him thousands of miles away, crying bitterly. I think this is not just an exaggeration. It can be seen that what is truly concerned about the country and the people.

Shang Jinling was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I'll help my brother-in-law write together, and tell him as much as possible about the disadvantages that arise. Although King Duan is selfish and hypocritical, he also pays attention to face. If there are more voices of opposition, he will not force him Yang Shenxing insisted on going his own way. In addition, he simply wrote a copy to King Jing. Although the new policy caused the people to suffer, it also touched the interests of noble families. If he finds an opportunity to stop it, he will spare no effort. In this way, the next new law can It has been postponed.”

When Gao Xueli heard this, he nodded again and again, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "How can I contact King Jing? It can't be in the name of grandfather."

Shang Jinling said: "Mother should have not reported the safety to Duke Ding's mansion, how about this, I might as well write a letter to Duke Ding's young master Zhong Qi by the way, if Duke Ding is willing, it will be passed to King Jing In your ears, what does brother-in-law think?"

Gao Xueli praised: "Lingling is really thoughtful, thank you."

Shang Jinling smiled: "Brother-in-law, you are welcome. In fact, I was wondering if we can take this opportunity to implement the New Deal now that it has started."

Gao Xueli thought about it and said, "But I don't know if King Ning will agree?"

The corner of Shang Jinling's mouth twitched, "Shouldn't refuse, but before that, we have to get the Xiling Hou Mansion to agree first, can brother-in-law help persuade sister?"
