"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Starting from the winter of the eighth year of Jianyan, the imperial court officially started in the southeast, specifically the most prosperous Liangzhe Road and Jiangdong Road, where large-scale land break-ups and land seizures began.

Under the direct pressure of Phoenix Mountain, all the Southeastern local officials almost bite the bullet and started the core and most important work that they could not even think of before. However, local scholar-officials and situational households who may cause direct resistance to land seizures and land breaks were summoned to Phoenix Mountain one after another, and then, just like the local government, they directly faced the emperor Jianyan of the dynasty. pressure.

Moreover, this Jianyan emperor Yuji has been around for seven or eight years, and he has a lot of martial arts and is known as ZTE... It’s not good to say that no one has the courage to say no to this emperor. After the martial arts conference, even absolutely Most people even lost the courage to discuss related issues with the emperor.

Not to mention, these people in the southeast, whether they are officials, scholar-officials or situational households, naturally lack the experience of dealing with an emperor.

However, even so, after just a few months of getting along, these so-called Southeast'ruling group' members still saw some clues...not to mention, once the official kind made up his mind, it would be a sea of ​​fire. The attitude of biting the bullet and going up is really daunting.

Precisely because of this, with the start of land seizure and land breaking, the entire southeast fell into a strange atmosphere:

First of all, it is definitely not right to say that it is Wanma Qiqi, because Phoenix Mountain has shown a vigorous and relaxed political atmosphere.

It's really relaxed and full of vigor.

Ye Mengde, an old minister from the southeast, was pardoned, and Zhang Jiucheng, a Southeast scholastic leader, was directly promoted to be a member of the secret pavilion...Who can say that it is not lenient?

However, people like Zhang Jiucheng and Ye Mengde are still far away from everyone. They really let Southeast scholar-officials and situational households have something they can eagerly try, after all, they are still public cabinets.

While inspecting the land and cutting the land, the public pavilion also quickly and firmly established a road-state-county three-level local public pavilion system with a structure similar to the three-house method of Zhongzhou-County School. Under this system, the southeastern scholar-officials and situational households, in addition to the wealthy merchants, and well-known monks, were almost completely wiped out.

And this public pavilion is by no means a purely empty shelf used to hold the situation. At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, everyone has witnessed that a lot of white-body scholar-officials who used to be by their side in the past use the public pavilion as a springboard to express their political attitudes. With the talent show, they have obtained a political future that they could not even think of in the past. From the clear-minded dispatch of the editor of the Dibao to the practical lack of judgement and county magistrates, Zhao Guanjia is not stingy at all. It is really a practical politics. Power to make political buyouts.

Even those who are in the situation of officials, as well as the purely wealthy landlords and monks, their nephews and nephews have been arranged to transfer to state schools and county schools because of their entry into the public pavilion. Among them, some famous ones are directly linked to martial arts. The head of school has become a close attendant of the official family, which can be regarded as giving these situational households a bit of political identity, and there is also an extra expectation of grandchildren to become masters.

Isn’t this the picture of the people who have learned civil and martial arts, goods and the emperor’s family?

This kind of atmosphere is almost the same, who dares to say that it is a lot of horses?

However, things are weird here. Everyone knows that Zhao Guanjia did these things to ensure that his two reforms related to the population tax, that is, the so-called "Ziding Bufu and Ding Ding", except for the extreme. In order to become officials, a small number of scholars would express their support in the form of letters, and almost all of them consciously or unconsciously avoided discussing the specifics of this matter.

At the same time, local land seizures and land inspections are not so smooth, there is no public policy resistance, but private obstruction, delays in changing the law, and various complaints to the state, county and local officials. , There are all the bribery of executive officials. Even after Lu Yihao and Lu Xianggong made a note and asked the state officials to interrogate the investigation, it was a snowy day when the investigators went out for a drink and burned the forage yard next to their public house.

However, only the Zhao official’s Longzhen on the Phoenix Mountain has the blessing, and he has never been dead, which is also amazed by the top and the bottom.

In short, for a time, the vigor and vitality of Phoenix Mountain and the tension and seriousness of the place, the three orders and five applications of official documents and the drunken chants of the West Lake restaurant formed a strong separation.

It can only be said that this phenomenon not only illustrates the instinctive resistance of these situational households to reform, but also fully demonstrates their ambivalence when facing the coexistence of Zhao's official political bribery and strict posture.

In this way, before the New Year's Day, it was about the time when Tokyo was too scholarly political. Xiaoxuechuqing, Zhao Guanjia officially held a meeting of the public courts on Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. There are all kinds of trivial things in the middle. At the end of the meeting, Lu Yihao Lu Xianggong suddenly got up and publicly announced three new regulations on situational households.

The first is to include the wealthy merchants, landlords, and temples whose real estate and assets reach a certain number (an annual rent of 300 shi, an interest of 300 guan) into the situational households, which means that the situational households will be completely worthy of the name.

Moreover, as the name suggests, situational households refer to local situational households, that is, the so-called wealthy, righteous and wealthy households.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the situational household was still a proper term, but there was really this hukou book, which was all official households and official households, and once the family fell and the property was insufficient, it would be removed from the situational households. Transferred to Hirado...The rich and official status, of course, is a typical Haoyou.

However, this hukou still has a nominal flaw, that is, it lacks the theoretically diligent and wealthy businessmen and big landlords, and it also lacks the temple view of the outside world.

Now that they are unified, no one wants to run, and in a sense, this can be regarded as a ‘shutdown (household registration)’ for the situational households.

Second, no matter what else, all households on Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road will have to pay taxes half a month in advance starting from next year’s summer taxation, which means they must complete tax payment before normal people pay taxes...Anyway The family properties of these people are there, and there is no need to wait for the silk and silk to be woven and the autumn grain to be stored in the warehouse.

Third, in this summer tax, the households in the southeast two roads have to take the lead in enjoying the benevolent government of never adding taxes and sharing acres. In any case, they must first complete the land inspection of the households themselves, and then draw up the tax amount. The benevolent government of the country cannot be without the situation of the people.

Finally, Lu Xianggong also reminded the members of the cabinet sitting below that they have the obligation to report to a small number of households who not only don’t know how to be grateful, but also want to evade prosecution and the New Deal... Just fight against the land tax, or hide the land in the land seizure without reporting it. There is no second way out, just copy the house, the temple, and the shop!

This kind of message can basically be seen in a poor manner, especially when Lu Xianggong was speaking, the Zhao official’s family sat silently behind...In other words, the most difficult inspection work has come to gnaw hard bones. It’s the stage of tackling tough spots... and everyone also understands that in the state where the Zhao official’s determination is unshakable, so that the hardest bones will be gnawed first after the beginning of spring, can the seizure of Liangzhe and Jiangdong be completed, or directly Whether the entire tax reform can be achieved or not depends on this wave.

If you succeed, you will succeed, if you fail...Before the Northern Expedition, I was afraid that it would be true.

However, although the picture is poor, although everyone knows it face-to-face, they may worry about Yang Yizhong who disappeared from behind the official house and a large number of plainclothes entering and leaving the imperial squad on Phoenix Mountain, but no one dared to do it in Hangzhou Mansion. Tandem, even if this is the best chance to connect in tandem... For a time, there are a few ways to posture of purpose.

Of course, Hangzhou Mansion is at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and Zhao Guan’s family is pressing down personally. It is normal not to dare, but when the members of the public pavilion who are basically equivalent to the situation households leave Hangzhou and go home to prepare for the New Year, they can’t bear it. Live together again during the New Year.

"Master Dahui is washing the Buddha's New Year, and he doesn't want to come over!"

At Jingshan Temple, in a quiet backyard, several Yuhang Shezhe figures came together to offer incense, and they naturally gathered together. After a few gossips, they couldn’t help but let the host of the temple who came to accompany them to invite them. Zhang Jiucheng, a member of the cabinet of the Gongge of Zhejiang Road and the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, is the best friend, and it is said that he is also the Dahui monk of the pivotal minister Zhang Deyuan's family friend.

The host was thin-skinned, and of course he couldn't refuse, but after waiting for a long time, the little novice monk had only this reply.

Everyone looked at each other, how could they not know that Monk Dahui was suspicious and would not come?

However, although Monk Dahui is an outsider, he is the most outstanding member of the court in Yuhang, and this time he also took the opportunity to receive a purple robe in Hangzhou, and formally took Dahuizhi from the official imperial mouth. The name can be called the four-character great master of Dahui Zonggao.

If you abandon this position, you can't help but feel unwilling.

So, seven or eight people looked at each other, but one of the leaders came out and pulled his face directly, and asked the little novice to lead the way and find someone, which meant that he wanted to go and find someone on his own initiative. The little novice was at a loss and couldn't understand the host's wink, so he really just checked the chief, turned around and took a few local extravagant figures.

However, these people still miscalculated. They followed the little novice for a long time. They finally came to a narrow and abandoned Buddhist temple, but they suddenly discovered that the one who celebrated the New Year, this one had just been in the Zhao official's house before. The Zen Master Dahui, who was in front of him with the identity of the Purple Robe Master, actually took a bath with a few young novices in person...An abandoned wood-carved Buddha that has been placed here for many years, his body is covered with dirt and floating ash. Placed in this cramped Buddhist hall, then with a bucket of hot water next to Zen Master Dahui, he personally picked up a rag and went to battle. After busying himself with the Buddha, his face was covered with dirt and dust.

Only because he rolled up his sleeves, his forearms kept getting wet, but they were still in vain, like two winter lotus roots.

Seeing the appearance of the other party, a group of Yuhang scholars hesitated at first, but when this monk Dahui saw the arrival of the crowd, he kept his hands. Instead, he continued to wash the dirt on the Buddha, while directly reading a word on the Buddha. Jingle.

As the saying goes:

"Everyone pours a scoop of bad water to wash the Tathagata and clean the scum.

When all the troubles of all beings are removed from the dirt, the fox roars as a lion. "

In other words, these seven or eight people, not all of them have the same knowledge as Zhang Jiucheng, can realize immediately, on the contrary, most of them are at a loss. A few of them may have heard something, but they dare not pack their votes. I was afraid that I was wrong, and I was laughed at.

As a result, everyone looked at each other again, and reluctantly laughed and praised the Buddhist principles of Master Dahui in front of the Buddhist hall, before they withdrew in embarrassment. Then he returned to the original secluded courtyard, and put aside the monk Dahui. It was the afternoon before he left.

Others don’t mention it, they only say that the master of Jingshan Temple has served these people all the time. He is already dry and dry, but he is not in a hurry to go back to rest. Instead, he turned to find Dahui, but unexpectedly, Dahui had already given him a gift at this time. After taking a bath, the Buddha is now earnestly digging lotus roots alone in a small pond in the temple.

In winter, the little lotus pond has no summer beauty, and it is completely dead branches and leaves. Although the long lotus root is in the good season, it is also hidden in the cold water silt below. People need to bear the cold water pond and carefully dig the mud to dig out the big. The lotus root, and if you are not careful, you will break it...This kind of work, in the past, the little novice monks were unwilling to do it, and they always let the white lotus root rot in the mud, that is, recently the temple has checked the ground and made up for it. Thousands of monks’ full set of exemption money in the whole temple, and then the host sent a message, saying that the monastery will stop cooking no matter if it is not self-reliant, and pointed to a few young and energetic monks to imitate the Zhao official’s to set up a set of wealth Roughly speaking, internal financial reforms were carried out, and only then did we have the hard work of digging in the winter.

However, no matter how you say it, it is impossible for Monk Dahui, the only four-character mage in Tangtang Temple, to dig in himself, so the host mage looked awkwardly on the shore for a while and saw Monk Dahui put on a borrowed cowhide waterproof. The overalls, rolling in the mud in the winter, but the cold air in winter can't even cover the muddy water, and it is difficult to take off the monk's robe personally to help, so I had to cough a few times, and then earnestly called:

"Brother! Brother Dahui! Why is this?"

Monk Dahui looked up and saw that it was the presiding officer. When even standing up from the mud, he said a long distance:

"There is no one to plow the barren land, and there are people fighting for it. There is no wind and lotus leaves moving, and there are definitely fish."

The host mage smiled bitterly on the shore for a while, then looked around, waved his hand to indicate that the visiting monk and the novice monk who was here to take care of the lotus root should go out to look at the door, and then he became solemn: "Brother, brother has serious things to tell you , And Junior Brother has always been stupid, so today we speak human words, do not speak head meditation...... Are you optimistic or not?"

Monk Dahui also smiled in the mud and water in the winter: "The younger brother is the host, so he can say what he says."

The host smiled bitterly again: "Senior brother, why should you be like this? Junior brother has always known that you have a foothold. Your inheritance, reputation, and Zen wisdom are ten times better than your brother. Brother brother, when you came here, I thought, if the court really escaped. When I came to the south and made a situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, I have to push you, a monk from Tokyo, to be the host, so that I can deal with officials... and come ashore, today we will not use the Zen machine, but just say something seriously. Seriously."

Monk Dahui sighed slightly, shouted the Buddha's horn, and carefully climbed ashore, took off his cowhide coat and wrapped his coat... Besides, one of the two was covered with incense, and the other was immersed in the mud with a bit of rancid smell, but both I didn't care, and didn't call the novice monks outside to order hot soup or tea. They stood side by side on the shore and spoke seriously.

"...That's it. The king and the benefactor said that the court inspected the land and the officials sent were vulgar. They were worried that the state of disturbing the people was better than a little benevolent government. Especially the South is not better than the Central Plains. , Delaying spring plowing was delaying the plan of the Northern Expedition, so I have the heart to write to the court to postpone this matter for a season... What do you think of the senior brother?" The host monk asked seriously.

"Since the younger brother is allowed to speak human words, I naturally want to ask the host first. Since ancient times, the situation in this place has not been more transparent than our monks. How are the wealth of these families, whether they are generous?" Monk Dahui immediately smiled and asked.

The host also laughed at the words, but after reciting a Buddhist name, he spoke seriously: "Although they are scholars, they are all local wealthy and wealthy people, such as the leading king and benefactor. Although he was a serious official, when his father was the prefect of Hezhong, But his family became rich, and after Fangla’s chaos, he began to vigorously buy properties. Not to mention he set up family properties in Yuhang and Fuyang counties, but also his own clan holding lands in Muzhou and Huzhou. There are also several cities in several cities. A shop... I don’t know anything else, it’s just a field, and the rent collected this year is more than a thousand stones!"

Monk Dahui nodded again and again, of course he had expected this, but soon he remembered something, but then shook his head slightly: "This is not too much, right? Compared with the landlord of Hebei who leaned on Jingkang and crossed the state of Manxian County in front of Jingkang. It's still a lot worse..."

The host chuckled when he heard the words and shook his head. "That's Hebei. This is the southeast. The population of the southeast is here. With more people and less land, can Hebei be comparable? However, the North and Central Plains have their own land, and we also have Huashigang. Yes, it happened elsewhere."

"That's true too." Dahui sighed slightly, and immediately became serious. "The brother-in-law just said that the brother already knows it, so these people are naturally afraid of paying too much tax and paying too much tax after they have entered the acre, and they hurt for a while... so they have a heart of resistance instead of abandoning official posts. Going to work in the countryside and delaying the language of spring plowing may make some sense, but it will not affect the plan."

"This is natural." The host was calm and right. "So what? Brother just said, do you think they can make it?"

"Difficult!" Dahui gave the answer immediately.

"Brother, please explain in detail."

"Junior Brother, I see this in this way." Dahui responded eagerly, and she didn't even think about it anymore. "The officials have already tried to see that these people want to get things done, they must contact extensively and properly. The situation is one of the top and bottom, the left and the right, and the bottom is so big that the official can't control it for a while, and the top is together to find out. Only when many key figures can speak to the officials and break their wrists. But let’s not say so, just contact, I think it is difficult for them to communicate smoothly."

The abbot was slightly startled, obviously he didn't understand.

And since Dahui should talk about people, of course, there is no need to sell the key, so he immediately explained:

"First of all contact left and right, these people can hardly get out of the scope of the state and counties... Take the Wang Donor just now, his family is in Yuhang, his family is in Yuhang, and he has lived in Yuhang for generations. Of course, he can find people in the local area, and he can do half of the work. Leaders,

But he still has land in Huzhou, dare you to ask why the people from Huzhou want to be with him? It must be known that, according to the argument of never adding levies and sharing acres, if his land in Huzhou is found, he must share the Huzhou local tax from Huzhou. Wouldn't it be a benefit to Huzhou scholars who do not know him at all? Then dare you to ask how much effort he has to put in to get the Huzhou side to contact Hangzhou together? Can you make it? "

"Not bad!" The host mage immediately woke up. "That's the case... Moreover, even Huzhou has big landlords like kings and benefactors, and they can't be matched, because the difference between the two places is not just a matter of sudden tax now, there are also daily disputes for water sources, determination of land boundaries, and discussion of the state. For the number of school places, and even for this public cabinet, if he goes to connect next door, he will only be dragged by his fellow villagers behind him... not even counties and counties... No wonder it's just a local from Yuhang coming today... What else? "

"The other thing is that there is no connection between the upper and lower levels... There are two types of situational households, one is the official household, they are leaders, they are prestigious, and there are people in the DPRK who can talk to the official household; the other is the official household. There are many households and fields, and the local power is big, but they are in their own right. They can’t talk to each other, and their legs and feet are numb to the official... But there is always a gap between the upper and lower sides. The upper and lower sides disdain to understand the lower ones. In the upper communication, you said, Junior Brother, in a hurry, can the gap between the top and bottom in this situation be broken?" Monk Dahui continued to whisper.

The abbot mage stunned slightly, and then smiled again: "What the brother said is really simple and straightforward, but they are all clear... The upper and lower ones cannot be connected together. In the end, the lower one wants to make trouble without a head, and then the official I guess the family’s imperial army should also come to the Wuwei Army. Or if it has already arrived, they will not dare to make trouble by then; and the officials above, not only are unable to make troubles themselves, in fact, they dare not or are unwilling to make troubles. Their method, It's nothing more than the old party subduing the new party back then. In the end, it is necessary to find ministers and dignitaries to persuade and sway the officials. But which minister in today's officials dare to speak?"

"There will definitely be, and there will always be those who are unwilling to find, but it must be useless." Dahui was right. "I saw that the officials are absolutely like a sword! The ministers who went to talk about it, if they are useful, they will eat and hang them immediately. If they are not useful, they will only be reduced to a joke. The only thing that seems to be their concern I can find someone to persuade Lu Yihao and Lu Xianggong, and stop here from the link of the chief executive, but I don’t think that brother."

"Why?"

"Junior Brother has ever heard a word?"

"what?"

"Everything must have a beginning." Dahui turned his hands together, putting aside the smell of silt on her body, she was dignified and solemn. "Brother, you must know that Lu Xianggong is more than sixty years old this year, twelve years older than Li Gang and Li Xianggong, only a few years younger than the other Lu Hao. Ask Lu Xianggong, dare to ask why he is so hurried and severe... ...So that the center dare not keep him?"

"I would like to hear the details." The abbot mage also put his hands together and became serious.

"During the Xuanhe reign, the Liao Dynasty collapsed, the state bought the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and set up Yanshan Mansion Road, with Lu Xianggong as his envoy. However, in just a few years, the Jinren went south, and the local Hans of Yanyun lowered the gold. Yao Master Guo rebelled and took him into the Golden Army..." Dahui couldn't help feeling sighed when he said this. "Think about it now, with Lu Xianggong's stubbornness, how can he not regard this as an insult to his life? And his beginning is here."

The host mage also sighed, and it became clear for a moment.

"And at the beginning, we can know today's personnel." Monk Dahui continued to sigh. "At the time when the officials fought against the Song and Jin, he was the most resolute person among the senior officials to fight; in the preparations for the Northern Expedition, he was the most resolute person among the princes to regain the two rivers; Yun, as far as the ambition of destroying the Kingdom of Jin is concerned, he is one of the few old ministers in the world who is willing to unconditionally follow and never go ahead! And that is the case, this new taxation policy is also an unshakable task for him! If someone does not open their eyes and fear officials But I want to talk about him, I'm afraid that he will really have to spend the night in the southeast."

When the abbot heard this, there was no doubt, but he nodded: "Thanks to the brother, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Monk Dahui was puzzled for a while: "Didn't Junior Brother originally want to help those people today?"

The abbot mage slowly shook his head: "It's not to help them, it's not to help others, or to lift them... When you went to Hangzhou to hold a public meeting a few days ago, someone took the opportunity to pretend to be here, holding the direct silver medal of the imperial squad, saying that we Since the temple has been cleaned up and the exemption money has been paid, it is innocent and usable. Therefore, we are required to work hard to serve the public, on the one hand, to provide the military reunification department with the wealth of land and furniture around Yuhang, and on the other hand to pay attention to today for the Imperial City Department. Similar things... I was a little hesitant at first, but today the senior brother said something thoroughly. Since the official has already had the means and the overall situation is clear, I don't have to hesitate, junior."

Monk Dahui quickly chanted a Buddha's name, and even instinctively wanted to chant another jingle, but remembered the previous agreement, he still endured it forcibly.

On this side, when the abbot saw this, he got up and put his hands together and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Monk Dahui glanced at the muddy cowhide clothes on the side, remembering another thing, but after all he did not hold back, and said on the spot: "Brother!"

"Brother, what else is there?" The abbot turned around puzzled.

"That's it. Since I don't talk about Zen, but only talk about people, our brothers are so honest today. My brother also has two sentences about the temple. I want to ask the hostess..." Monk Dahui unexpectedly It seemed a little cowardly. "But if it's embarrassing, you don't have to say it."

"Senior brother, what kind of words are this, even this chairperson can send you at will, what can't you smell in the temple?" The master mage frankly faced each other.

"The first thing... I went to find good destiny for the temple, but I didn’t find good destiny. I also lost two hundred shi new meters. Later, there was a wave of free money and first inspection of land. Don’t blame me. "" Monk Dahui seemed a little nervous again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How could it be? "The host can't help but smile, like a Buddha cramming flowers. "The land seizure and the exemption money are from the Southeast Temple and Guan, how can you blame you? As for the two hundred stone and new rice, didn't they also exchange a purple robe for this temple with a four-character master? According to the market price in the past, two hundred shi is already very cheap, but the two hundred shi must be sent directly to Tokyo for storage next year, which requires more effort. "

"It's okay. I know the way. By that time, brother, I will go to the old place." Monk Dahui was relieved for a while, but soon became more and more nervous. "But there is one more thing. Recently, the temple said that if you pay the exemption money, the temple is not enough to chew and wrap..."

"Not so much." The host mage became more gentle and gentle. "Jingshan Temple has been standing in the southeast for hundreds of years, and unlike the disaster encountered in the north, Hua Shigang never came to **** it, and Fang La just came to ask for a jar of sesame oil. How can it be poor? Just not to say that the temple still hides. Three buckets and three liters for the Scripture’s prepared rice grains of gold, that is, the sesame oil in the back warehouse is enough to drink for a lifetime, brother, and to decorate and burn the relics after you pass away. Those words are just that I want to take the opportunity to restrain those people below... this is not When the official family arrives at Phoenix Mountain, will the imperial city officials go everywhere? Junior brother, I'm afraid they will cause trouble...It's better to let them stay in the temple and work, and by the way, strengthen their minds."

Monk Dahui raised his eyebrows slightly, oh, he stopped talking, but let the abbot turn and leave. As soon as the mage left, the monk looked at the cowhide clothes on the ground, but he didn't even have the thought of washing him. It was another jingle immediately.

As the saying goes: "Old cowhide, no gaps.

Ask the Dharma and pay for rice grains.

It's a matter of the slightest difference.

Faceless, scared. "

After finishing the reading, he got up and patted his butt, went straight out, and called the little novice who had washed the lotus root to go to the Xiangji Kitchen to find the vegetarian restaurant.
