Wei and Jin cooks

good!

Zhao Hanzhang just wanted to win with the support of the people.

Can Zhao Hanzhang, who was born in New China, grew up under the red flag, and grew up accepting socialist values, continue to exploit the people to satisfy his selfish desires?

Of course that's not possible.

She is a good person!

Well, yes, she is a good person.

So she already has a basic blueprint for the future.

Zhao Ming and the others listened to her vision for the future, which was actually equivalent to how she would become the emperor and what kind of country she would build after conquering the whole world.

Take a closer look at the major forces. Each has its own shortcomings. There are only two shortcomings that can be seen on their side. First, Zhao Hanzhang is a girl; second, they are poor.

The first shortcoming, in the eyes of Ji Yuan and others, is no longer enough to be called a shortcoming. In today's world, who can be her enemy, who dares to look down on her just because she is a woman?

And who would give up choosing her just because she is a woman?

The only drawback is that I am poor.

But if we take a longer-term view, as Zhao Hanzhang said, it will be worthwhile to be poor now in the next few decades.

Mingxuan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang. Since his master was willing to suffer poverty and live frugally, as an upright and ambitious staff member, he could only be happy.

The barbecue lasted until late at night, and they dispersed only after the three-shift clapper sounded outside.

Fu Tinghan was so sleepy that his eyes almost closed, but the other four were still very excited.

After walking out of the open space, the cold wind of early winter blew, and Fu Tinghan reluctantly opened his eyes.

Zhao Ming turned to Zhao Hanzhang and said, "Let people see me tomorrow. Let's fight quickly."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed, and when he left, he immediately turned around and called out to Tinghe and Fu An who were dozing under the wall, "Get up early tomorrow and take people to replace all the cups, porcelain, and anything that is easy to smash at home with cheap ones." goods."

Tinghe: "Huh?"

Fu An already agreed: "Yes."

Tinghe turned to look at him and saw that his eyes were still half-closed, so she knew that he was just oblivious.

Zhao Hanzhang already said: "If cheap porcelain is not enough, then temporarily replace it with tile ones."

Fu Tinghan was invigorated by the cold wind, and whispered: "Isn't it too shabby? Uncle Ming will be even more unhappy if he smashes it, right?"

Ming Yu looked at him in surprise, "Master Fu, have you been listening? I thought you were asleep."

Fu Tinghan said: "I'm not asleep, I'm just very sleepy."

Although he did not participate in the conversation, he heard and remembered everything they said.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Just let people listen to it, who will give them the fragments?"

But Ji Yuan felt that she was too stingy and said: "Girl, even if we are poor, we must be poor and ambitious. Ting He, just replace the porcelain that Commander Zhao and the girl have access to with the next best tomorrow."

Ji Yuan taught her his experience, "You don't have to smash all the porcelain, you can also smash the desk, just make a sound so that the people in front can hear it. The desk can continue to be used even if it is scratched, and it will not be damaged easily."

Zhao Hanzhang thought what he said made sense and asked Ting He to do as Ji Yuan said, and then everyone went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

This is already "tomorrow".

Zhao Song and Zhao Hu knew nothing about it. When they woke up, the two brothers went to the flower hall to drink tea and chat with Zhao Ming. They felt something was wrong as soon as they got it.

Before Zhao Song could respond, Zhao Hu frowned. He looked down at the tea cup in his hand, and after looking at it for a moment, he said, "Why did the tea cup in the flower hall change? This color..."

Zhao Hu looked disgusted, "The color is not good, and the wall of the cup is not smooth enough. What's going on? Where is the tea cup from before?"

Zhao Ming took a sip of tea with an expressionless expression, raised his head and said to the two of them: "Father, didn't you say you wanted to see the Imperial Academy? Why don't you ask Uncle Qi to accompany you there?"

Zhao Hu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Zhao Ming had already looked at him and said, "How long has it been since Uncle Qi saw Zheng'er?"

Zhao Hu swallowed his words. It was true that he hadn't seen Zheng'er for a long time. It would be good to take advantage of this time to see the child.

Normally Zhao Hu would not go to Taixue, and if he did, he would probably get angry with Zhao Cheng, but this time with Zhao Song here, Zhao Cheng would definitely not dare to disobey him.

Zhao Hu changed his tune and agreed.

As soon as Zhao Hu and Zhao Song left, Zhao Ming started his performance.

The officials who came to work at Zhao's house today were surprised to see Zhao Ming first, and then listened to Zhao Ming's angry remonstrance.

They didn't want to listen, but Shijun's office was in the yard next door. Zhao Ming was so angry and his voice was so loud that it was difficult for them to pretend not to hear.

Although I didn't hear every word clearly, I could still get a general idea. Zhao Ming should have known that not long ago, some nobles in Luoyang fled because they couldn't bear the taxes, and there were also some scholars in Yuzhou who were harsh to Zhao Hanzhang. There are opinions on taxation.

To the common people, Zhao Hanzhang's taxes were not heavy at all and could be considered light corvee and low taxes. However, to the nobles who had always been given preferential treatment, her taxes were very unfriendly.

In particular, county governments are particularly strict in tax inspections.

In the past, even if there were no high-ranking officials in the family who could be exempted from taxes, they could rely on other connections to hide some land and population to avoid taxes.

But since Zhao Hanzhang became the master of Yuzhou, they no longer have this convenience.

Even the hidden fields and population of the seventh prince of the Zhao family have been discovered and taxes have been paid according to law. How can they still be more respectable than Zhao Hu?

Everyone is putting up with Zhao Hanzhang.

But according to what Zhao Ming said, some scholars in Yuzhou didn't intend to endure it any longer.

Zhao Ming also believes that the tax system should be changed, otherwise the burden on some families will be too heavy if they pay taxes according to the registered acres.

Someone pricked up their ears and listened over there, and heard the sound of cups hitting the ground. They couldn't help but whisper: "You seem to be angry."

"Is it Governor Zhao who is angry?"

"Didn't the envoy say that he wanted to change taxes before at the county government? Why has there been no progress during this period?"

"I heard it's because I'm too poor. If I change my position, I'll be even poorer. By then I won't be able to pay out my salary."

The voice seemed familiar. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Zhao Kuan. They were startled and immediately stood up straight.

Seeing their worried and frightened faces, Zhao Kuan sighed, leaned against the wall, listened, and asked, "Where's the noise?"

Seeing that Zhao Kuan did not reprimand them, the two of them leaned back and discussed in a low voice: "Chief Zhao has already mentioned how Duke Zhao cared about the nobles of Yuzhou when he was alive. Magistrate Zhao, do you think Magistrate Zhao can persuade Governor Zhao to move him?" ?"

That must be possible. There is no need for Uncle Ming to persuade him. Zhao Shijun will persuade him on his own. Otherwise, why would he come to Zhao's house so early in the morning?

It wasn't because I received Zhao Hanzhang's letter early in the morning.

He sighed in his heart, but with a troubled look on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, the envoy is willing to change the taxation, but everyone's life is difficult, especially I don't know whether there will be a war next year, so I have to support so many people. We need a lot of money and food, and if we reduce taxes here, life will be even more difficult."

"that's true."

Good night
