Please, let me be a fool

Suddenly, Li Fang thought of something.

After all, he was the second assistant to the cabinet before, and he had a lot of contacts.

For the imperial court, it is also known to reform the tax system if it wants to implement the tax system.

You Qi just heard that Song Gongwen had also come, and immediately understood that His Majesty wanted to use Longyang Mansion as a pilot.

And Li Fang, as the main figure of the Longyang gentry, understood how difficult this matter was.

But what he thought of was, if he could help His Majesty in this respect...

Don't say that you have committed crimes and made meritorious deeds, but you have been forgiven.

But there is no doubt that some guilt will be reduced, so that the place of exile in the future will be better than before, so that they will not go directly to some bitter cold place where there is no way to survive.

Li Fang is very clear that her lineage is completely over, but there are still hundreds of people in the Li family.

Some of those people did not participate in the occupation of the fields, so they were implicated.

If he does meritorious deeds.

For His Majesty's promotion of sharing the land into the mu, remove some obstacles.

Absolutely let those innocent children of the Li family be spared some guilt, so as to preserve the blood for the Li family!

As for doing so, will it offend the gentry of Longyang Mansion...

joke.

Now that Mrs. Li can't protect herself, how can she take care of so much?

At this point in her thoughts, Li Fang immediately turned around, picked up the crime to be signed, walked up to a leading eunuch, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, you go and tell Wang Gonggong, I, Li Fang, admit all the crimes above. , recognize all of them!"

"Not only that, but I also want to tell the truth, yes, it is to tell the truth, all the secrets about the Longyang gentry!"

Chapter 72 You Heard My Story

Longyang government office.

Song Gongwen sat in the inner hall.

There was still a cup of hot tea that had just been brewed in his hand.

And in front of him stood a middle-aged man in his forties.

This person is tall and straight, wearing an official uniform, with sharp eyes, staring at a white jade pendant in his hand.

After a long time, the middle-aged man slowly put down the white jade pendant and murmured: "This is indeed the teacher's personal jade pendant."

After saying this, he put the jade pendant on the table, then bowed slightly, performing a standard Confucian disciple ceremony.Then he turned his head to look at Song Gongwen, and immediately said: "I have seen Mr. Song."

"Brother Shouyuan." Hearing this, Song Gongwen put down his teacup, stood up and said with a smile.

"You and I are both the teacher's students, it's too much to make your lord look outside."

"From now on, in front of outsiders, please call me Brother Gongwen!"

That's right, this middle-aged man in official uniform.

It is the latest prefect of Longyang.

Wang Shouyuan!

After hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Alright then, brother Gongwen."

Since the teacher can hand over the jade pendant that he carries with him, he must be trustworthy.

"Hahaha!" Song Gongwen smiled, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly. "I have already heard from the teacher about your matter. Brother Shouyuan, you have really worked hard in the past five years!"

"Have you heard my story?"

Wang Shouyuan was stunned for a moment, but still said softly: "This... this is what I should do."

However, after Song Gongwen heard this, he shook his head and said.

"I know Brother Shouyuan, he is a man with ideals and ambitions."

"Of course I understand that you have had a harder time than anyone else in the past five years, because I had a similar experience at the beginning, so I understand your feelings better than anyone else. The teacher handed me the jade pendant. Brother Shouyuan should know what it means."

"Since you and I are our own people, we should be honest with each other. Brother Shouyuan, if you have anything to say, you can really say it."

In the past few years, Song Gongwen was suppressed and excluded by others, and was secretly discussed by his colleagues.

He knows very well that this kind of life is very difficult.

Even to the end.

I couldn't hold on anymore, and wanted to resign from office.

As for the other party, the experience of five years is more depressing than his own, so he can empathize with him.

I want to guide and let the other party vomit the depression in their hearts over the years.

Sure enough, this speech.

Wang Shouyuan, who was expressionless just now, suddenly changed.

Because he could feel the sincerity contained in Song Gongwen's words.

For five full years.

It's also the first time someone said this to me

Suddenly, his hands began to tremble, his expression was not as calm as before, and he finally couldn't help it.

"I have been in Longyang Mansion for five years!"

"I have watched and flattered the ugly faces of those gentry for five years. They have lost their strength of character and their ideals. I don't want to be like this. I want to live a dignified life!"

"Five years, five full years, do you know how I lived these five years?"

At first, Wang Shouyuan's tone was calm.

But towards the end, the more excited.

He was an ideal man.

Back then, she was also talented and a famous queen, so she attracted much attention.

But because of a plan of Emperor Xiandi and Zhang Zhengming, he came to Longyang Mansion and faced the gentry he hated the most every day.

You have to be with a smiling face and say good things all the time, no matter how determined a person is, after such a long time, even if he has not gone crazy, he has reached his limit.

But now, someone finally understands him, he is still from the same sect, and he is trustworthy.

In this case, how can you not spit it out quickly?

He has been depressed for too long.

"Brother Shouyuan!"

Seeing this, Song Gongwen quickly said: "I understand, I understand, so the teacher sent me here."

"Ever since I heard your story, I have been fascinated by you along the way, and I want to see you as soon as possible. Now that I have come to Longyang Mansion, I want to deal with those gentry with you!"

At this moment, he didn't care about the other party's gaffe, on the contrary, he admired him even more.

Because if I were myself, I wouldn't be able to survive these five years.

"Brother Gongwen, I know."

Wang Shouyuan calmed down a little, and continued: "I have received the teacher's personal letter. He said that you are a great talent, so let me fully cooperate with you and implement the implementation of the plan!"

In fact, he was somewhat convinced by this new fellow.

It is conceivable to think of such a national policy as distributing a small amount of money to one's mother.

Exactly as the teacher said.

Is a great talent!

"That's all the teacher's absurd praise, brother Shouyuan, don't need to care about it."

When Song Gongwen heard the words, he immediately smiled and said modestly.

Although the two met for the first time today.

But there is some sympathy.

It can be said that it was like old friends at first sight.

Maybe it's because they all have similar experiences, or maybe it's because they have the same teacher.

Especially after a short chat, I began to feel that it was too late to meet each other.

In fact, the age difference between the two is not very big.

It's just that one is in the capital and the other is in a local area, and there has never been an intersection.Therefore, they all felt that it was a pity. If they saw each other sooner, they might have one more confidant.

But soon, Song Gongwen's smile began to subside, and he frowned and said: "Brother Shouyuan, you should know our plan after reading the teacher's handwritten letter, and your help is indispensable to promote the promotion of allotments. So then you still have to..."

He didn't speak anymore, but the meaning was obvious, that is to let the other party continue to be a gentry faction.

Then from the inside, it helped to spread the income into the mu, and it was successfully implemented.

But Song Gongwen was worried.

The other party has been doing this for five full years.

If it continues, will you still be willing in your heart?

"Brother Gongwen, I understand what you mean." Wang Shouyuan smiled, and then said: "You don't have to worry about me, I have been doing this for five years, and I am used to it. If I continue to do it, nothing will happen. , and now you still have your support.

"It's a national policy set by His Majesty, and there should be no problems. I know what to do."

Zhang Zhengming's personal letter has already made it clear.

Being yourself is an important part of the plan.

Want to deal with the gentry.

There must be sacrifices.

He knew the stakes were high and he couldn't act willfully.

"Brother Shouyuan, what are you going to do next?" Seeing that the other party would follow the plan, Song Gongwen immediately felt relieved, and realized that he and the teacher were right, so they discussed the next step.

Wang Shouyuan thought for a while, and continued: "Brother Gongwen, you normally implement the method of distributing people into the mu, while I still stand in the gentry faction."

"When necessary, I will write a memorial for Longyang and submit it to His Majesty to discredit you and speak for the gentry, so as to gain their trust and break into the core of the Longyang gentry!"

"And in the process, I will secretly provide you with all the news, so that you can grasp all the movements of the gentry."

To put it bluntly, Wang Shouyuan wants to become a fine work.

For Song Gongwen, the implementation of the distribution of Ding Ding into the mu.

Remove all obstacles!

Chapter 73 Unity of Knowledge and Action

Listen to the other person.

Song Gongwen extracted key information.

Immediately, he looked happy, and said: "Brother Shouyuan, it seems that he has been recognized by the gentry in the past five years?"

Breaking into the core of the gentry is a very difficult thing.

The first thing to do is to get their approval.

And the circle of nobles.

Almost notoriously difficult to get into.

When Song Gongwen was ranked among the top three Scholars in the middle list, he seemed to be in a good position, but in fact, he was still not recognized by some people.

After all, the Song family is just the most common scholarly family, and there is still a long way to go from the noble family.

To complete this distance, at least one or two generations of efforts are needed.
