The happy life of a prodigal

Where are all these fields?

Isn't it rented out to those poor families, making those poor families even poorer and making them even more desperate.

As long as any change involves its own interests, the resistance will undoubtedly be huge.

Fang Xiu was able to put this issue on the table because he was magnanimous, or he was free and easy, and he didn't care about these meager profits. Joy after the world'.

But what about the others?

The civil and military officials in the court, and the gentry and aristocrats from all over the place, can they have the world and the people in their hearts like Fang Xiu?

The answer, without a doubt, is no.

That being the case, how can these people take the initiative to propose this method and give up their interests?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu frowned tightly, and put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, feeling that the delicacies in front of him were all tasteless.

After thinking for a while, I still couldn't come up with a solution, so helpless, I could only sigh for a lifetime: "Hey...

Fang Xiu, Fang Xiu, you have presented me with another problem. "

When Fang Xiu saw this scene and heard what he said, he naturally knew that he had already figured out the key point.

With a cynical smile on his face, he joked: "Your Majesty, according to Yichen, this matter is actually not as complicated as you think.

Whether it is the princes in the court, or those nobles, those gentry, the reason why they can live the life they are today, after all, is that they are attached to your Majesty...

It is Your Majesty who gave them the fields and the capital to be prosperous and rich in this world.

Your Majesty wants to come back and distribute it to those poor people, it is reasonable and beyond reproach.

Even if there are some objections from the court, so what?

The minister has only participated in the court meeting once, but he clearly remembers that above the court meeting, the ministers and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all full of words about the people of the world and the common people of the world.

It seems that the people in the world are their parents.

Since they are their parents, why not give them some land so that their parents can live better?

I don't believe it, His Majesty is in charge of this matter, no matter how the princes in the court are, can they still turn the sky upside down? "

Hearing this, Emperor Chu frowned slightly.

He knew in his heart that Fang Xiu's words had some truth.

But the truth is the truth, but actually implementing it is another matter.

He still remembered that when he first came to the throne, there were only two concubines in the harem besides the queen.

At that time, some officials criticized, saying that the queen was jealous...

He was so angry that he slapped the speaker and took in a few more concubines.

It's still the same speaker, who criticizes that today's holy majesty has too much sex.

All in all, no matter what they do, those officials can always find a reason to criticize themselves.

This is still my own family business, but the land tax policy involves the vital interests of these people, how can they let it go!

Chapter 586 Trial

Spokespersons are only secondary, after all, they have nothing but their three-inch tongue.

Emperor Chu is not afraid of being scolded, merits and demerits will be judged by future generations, and he doesn't care what these officials think of him.

The most important thing is the attitude of the scholar-bureaucrats. In the state of Chu, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world, but now they want to shake the foundation of these scholar-bureaucrats. There is no doubt that there will be big troubles!

After thinking for a long time, he still sighed, waved his hands and said, "Let me think about this matter again."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he knew that Emperor Chu was in a dilemma.

But he also knows that doing anything in this world has advantages and disadvantages, and the implementation of a strategy will definitely not affect people of the same class.

Different classes will definitely have different reactions. If they are afraid of turmoil and bloodshed, they will stop doing it. In the end, the complaints of the people will only turn into anger, and this anger will explode at some point.

At that time, there will be real turmoil. Even if the court wants to change and the scholar-bureaucrats are willing to make concessions, it will be too late.

Silence, silence, if you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Fang Xiu did not choose to give in this time, but looked at Emperor Chu and said, "I understand your majesty's difficulties.

But Your Majesty, apart from you, who else can sympathize with the hardships of the people of this world, thousands of people?

What the old farmer said before, ministers can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains Road, let alone selling wives and daughters, even people who sell themselves are everywhere.

Your Majesty, you are afraid that if you shake the foundation of the scholar-bureaucrats, you will shake the foundation of the country, but in my view, the foundation of our Great Chu is already unstable.

The people are like water, and the court is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, and water can also overturn it! "

Speaking of this, seeing the expression of Chu Huang was slightly moved.

He paused, then continued: "Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than that, then I have another proposal, which is to use this as a test, first implement it in the Central Plains Road, and try the effect.

If the effect is significant, it is not impossible to withdraw this policy if the effect is not significant, or the resistance is irreversible. "

Speaking of this, he thought for a while and added: "Your Majesty, I also have a thousand acres of fertile land in my family. As long as this policy is followed, I am willing to be the first to pay the tax for this thousand acres of fertile land!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chu raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu. His face did not show any expression as before, and he looked as stable as an old dog.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he understood that the old emperor had already made a decision in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second heard Chu Huang say: "Since this is the case, let's do as you said, and first implement the strategy of combining land and earth in the Central Plains Road!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xiu shouted immediately.

After the two settled on this matter, they ate food in the warm pavilion and chatted for a while.

It was not until the sky was getting dark that Fang Xiu left the palace and returned to Fangfu.

During the time he left Fangfu, the changes in Fangfu can be said to be not small.

There is no doubt that these changes are all thanks to King Ning.

King Ning's heart is like a sesame seed. After he came to power, he didn't do a lot of business. The first thing he did was to retaliate.

And the revenge was very lacklustre, that is, they smashed some bottles and cans in Fangfu, but they didn't know that the real treasure had already been transferred to the cellar by Xiu'er.

How could it be possible for Fang Xiu, such an expert house raider, not to guard against thieves?

Even so, it will take some time for Fang Mansion to recover to its original appearance after suffering such a catastrophe.

Fang Xiu returned to Fang Mansion, looked at the messy corridor, shook his head involuntarily, sighed, and prepared to go back to the house.

At this time, I heard movement on the wall next to the corridor.

Fang Xiu subconsciously turned his head to look, but there was nothing but the empty wall.

"Someone?"

Fang Xiu yelled at the wall, but there was no response.

He was a little puzzled, but he didn't care. He turned his head and continued to walk forward.

This is, but there was another sound on the wall...

This time, it was a little clearer, it was obvious that someone was smashing the wall!

It's okay, I have already returned, the old emperor has returned to the palace, and there are still people who don't have eyesight and dare to attack Fangfu, this is wanting to die!

"Where did the dog come from, dare to smash the uncle's wall!?"

Fang Xiu stared, walked to the wall, and was about to curse.

I heard a 'bang--'.

Then there was the sound of the walls collapsing.

Fang Xiu was startled, and retreated hastily, leaving enough distance.

"Bah bah bah..."

The smoke and dust from the collapsed wall gradually dissipated, but there was a pretty face that Fang Xiu hadn't expected.

"Zhao Yan?"

Fang Xiu looked at the disheveled Zhao Yan in front of him, a little surprised.

After being surprised, he was speechless again, and said angrily, "It's the middle of the night, what wall are you hitting?"

"Cough cough..."

Just when Zhao Yan was about to speak, she accidentally choked on the smoke again. After coughing for a long time, she continued intermittently, "Cough cough...old lady...cough cough... ...willing, can you control it?"

"..."

Fang Xiu looked at him and said angrily: "This is the wall of my house, do you think I can control it?"

After Zhao Yan heard this, she was startled for a moment, and then her face showed a look of surprise, and she murmured: "It seems to be really..."

When Fang Xiu heard this sentence, he was almost so angry that he didn't beat her up.

Walking up to her, patted the dirt on her clothes, and asked: "Leniency is allowed for confession, and strictness for resistance.

Tell me the truth, smashing the wall in the middle of the night, what do you want to do? "

"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to smash the door and get out, so that it would be more convenient to come to you in the future. Who would have thought that the wall of your house is so inexplicable, it will fall down as soon as you smash it!"

At the beginning, she was a little guilty when she spoke, but afterward, she seemed to be taking advantage of the reason, and she became more confident.

There is only a wall between the house she bought and Fangfu, but now there is no such wall.

Doesn't it mean that from now on, as long as I come together, I may see Zhao Yan practicing sword in my yard?

This picture...is so beautiful, Fang Xiu doesn't want to see it.

"you......"

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard Zhao Yan say: "It's not because Fang Ru in your family, who is young, knows how to stalk if she doesn't learn well all day long.

I have been following me for the past few days and asked me to teach her how to practice swords. The house I live in is only a little bigger. It is not as spacious as yours. It is too troublesome to come to your place every day.

I can't help but think about it..."

"Miss Zhao, if you want to move into our house, just say so, no one will dislike you, but it's boring if you frame it like this..."

At some point, Fang Ru stood behind them, looked at Zhao Yan with an expression of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things, and said.

Chapter 587 I want to be a policeman!

"you!"

Zhao Yan couldn't bear the provocative words, so she swung the sledgehammer and walked towards Fang Ru.

"Hey, this is my home, what do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Fang Ru huddled into a ball and hid behind Fang Xiu.

"Okay, stop making trouble!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu suddenly felt that one head was two big.

He looked at Zhao Yan, then at Fang Ru, and said angrily: "Everyone stays up in the middle of the night and wants to go to heaven!?

I will give you 1 minute to go back to each room honestly! "

When Zhao Yan heard this, she glanced at Fang Ru, indifferent.

Fang Ru naturally stared back unwilling to show weakness, but bumped into Xiu Shang's eyes and hurriedly put on a gesture of 'I'm afraid of you'.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu became even more helpless, looked at Zhao Yan, and said angrily: "Who promised me that as long as his father is rescued, I can do anything?

Then I will let you go back to the house obediently, okay? "

"You little girl, wait for me, it's best to only come out at noon in the future, otherwise this girl will make you look good sooner or later!"

Hearing what Fang Xiu said, Zhao Yan glared at Fang Ru, said a harsh word angrily, and then turned back to her yard.

Fang Ru's face showed a smile after victory, and when Fang Xiu was looking at him, his expression changed in an instant, and he said aggrievedly: "Brother, she bullied me... .”

"Don't call me brother, I can't afford it. You are the ancestor of our Fang family. My father is also very powerful. He went out to find an ancestor for his son."
