The Founding of the Red Chamber

After marrying his two sons, King Jinling, who had been in the imperial capital for two years, asked to return to his fief Jinling.Emperor Zhaode couldn't persuade him to stay, so he had to agree.

After King Jinling left, the Yue family heaved a sigh of relief.For nothing else, I really don't know what Chen Xiya's incredible ability is, she actually trained Lin Ping as if she was a different person, and went back to her mother's house every three days to bond with her brother and sister-in-law.The Yue family is now pregnant with Liujia, the childbirth period at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and there are family affairs, so he really doesn't have the energy to deal with his sister-in-law.

However, the married young girl returned to her natal home excitedly, but she couldn't beat her out.As for the harsh words such as severing ties, that's all. Lin Ping came back with a stern face, and no one could block the door to prevent her from entering.

Lin Ping always ran to her mother's house like this, and while Yue was tired, his heart softened.Lin Yi, on the other hand, had no intention of softening his heart at all, and waited until Lin Ping was going to Jinling with her husband. The Yue family originally wanted to prepare some gifts for the sister-in-law, but Lin Yi insisted on refusing.

Lin Yi said first, "She wants to marry herself, whether it is good or bad is up to her."

In the Lin family, apart from Lin Jing, who would dare not listen to Lin Yi?

And Lin Jing, who was even more mediocre to Lin Ping and then mediocre, how could he help Lin Ping speak?However, Lin Sa didn't want her sister to lose face by leaving, so she bought a gift from her private house, and quietly asked someone to give it to Lin Ping.

Lin Jing said to Lin Yi, "I think there is one person in the clan who is quite remarkable."

There is actually someone who can make Lin Jing say "remarkable", Lin Yi listens with all ears.

Lin Yi recognized the person Lin Jing was talking about, and Lin Jing said, "Big Brother, this Chen Qibao is someone." Now that Chen Qibao has been in the Imperial Capital for three months, he is tirelessly doing the same thing, going to Run clan mansion.Even if he had no money to dredge and no acquaintance to take care of him, Chen Qibao still stubbornly went to the clan's residence every day to "save his father".

Moreover, according to Lin Jing's observation, Chen Qibao was still planning to continue working.

Lin Jing has always admired people with perseverance, this Chen Qibao, even though he is still an unknown member of the clan, if he can do this for three years, maybe he will really be someone in the future.However, Lin Jing just didn't like Chen Qibao.

He doesn't like Chen Qibao.

There are many people who Lin Jing doesn't like, such as Tang Ying.

Tang Ying and Lin Yi went to Xiangyang City to deal with the affairs of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, and then they gradually became familiar with each other, and they became friends.If he is free, Tang Ying likes to come to the Lin Mansion, especially to chat with Shu Jingyun.

Tang Ying is a person with great ideals. When talking about his ideals, he is not afraid of people listening.Chen Qibao went out to run around the clan's residence every day, "closing the door of the clan's residence in the morning, and following the fat horse dust in the evening", and came back to rest in the evening, just in time to listen to Tang Ying's high-spirited talks.Lin Jing himself is a father, and this is his family, so naturally he has to listen.As for Xu Nian, it has always been where my uncle goes, where he goes.

It is Xu Nian's belief to have meat to eat with my uncle.

Although he was admired by Emperor Zhaode, Tang Ying was young after all, with the unique spirit of a young official.Tang Yingdao, "Nowadays, land mergers are becoming more and more serious. The country collects taxes on a head-by-head basis. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. If things go on like this, it is not a blessing for the country to gather wealth in the hands of wealthy families!"

Lin Jing really wanted to ask about Hou Tangying's ancestors. Their Lin family had grown rich and prosperous since the time of Emperor Taizu. After years of accumulation, they definitely belonged to a wealthy family.Ni Ma Tang Ying, holding tea from a wealthy family and scolding a wealthy family, are you rushing to find Bian?It's not a thing!

Chen Qibao nodded repeatedly at Tang Yingzhi's high-spirited remarks, and said, "I also think what Mr. Tang said makes sense. Many people are willing to go to the rich and powerful as slaves, rather than being commoners, because commoners pay too much tax. The times are good and fashionable. If there is enough energy to live, once a natural disaster occurs, the tax per mu of land will not be paid, so where will there be food to live on? Moreover, if you fail to pay the tax per mu of land, you will be guilty. In this way, civilians would rather flee the local area and become refugees than be convicted. Become a criminal." Said these words, otherwise Chen Qibao would really agree, or he would be flattering Tang.Lin Jing has always had a dark heart, and likes to think badly about people, not to mention he doesn't like Chen Qibao, so he slanders him.

Lin Jing asked, "Civilians suffer from common people's sufferings. Master Tang is so indignant. Is there a way to save civilians?"

Tang Ying smiled, "Not only do I have a way to save civilians, but I also have a way to enrich the treasury."

Lin Jing was a little curious, but he didn't ask. Tang Ying asked, "Don't you want to know, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Jing took a sip of the hot and fragrant almond tea in front of him, then put the almond tea in the middle of the table, and said, "This cup of almond tea is like the wealth of the country."

"One sip for the royal family, one sip for the imperial family, one sip for the aristocratic family, one sip for the officials of the court, and the rest is for the common people." Lin Jing looked at Tang Ying, "This cup of almond tea is naturally fragrant. But , the whole is counted, no more, no less, there is only such a cup. No matter which one drinks more, the rest will get less. If you want to return the wealth to the country and the people, who will pay it back?"

"The reform of the world is easy to say, but it is not easy to implement. In my opinion, reform is actually just grabbing what is in other people's hands and redistributing it." Lin Jing's eyes made people feel a sharp sting. Ask Tang Ying, "Master Tang, if someone wants to steal something from someone else, it doesn't matter, others can give it to you. However, it is a matter of your family and life. If you can't give it, you can only fight with your life."

"In the affairs of the world, there are very few people who can really distinguish between right and wrong. It's just a matter of position." Lin Jingdao, "Master Tang, do you have the confidence to change the whole world? It is of course very good to improve the lives of ordinary people. Nobody wants to see civilians living a miserable life."

"The words of 'the world is for the public, for great harmony' have been said for thousands of years, and it may continue to be said for thousands of years." Lin Jing said without a trace of childish innocence on his face. Equality, high and low will still exist. All the reforms I have seen are just the fall of a group of old wealthy families and the re-formation of a new group of wealthy families. Could it be that the new wealthy families are not rich Is it a family? Which wealthy family didn’t have ancestors from the humble beginnings?”

"But, have you seen the ordinary people in the world who are like ants? Whether it is a new family or an old family, no matter whether it is a new wealthy family or an old wealthy family, the common people will always live their lives in such a humble and poor way." Lin Jing said lightly, "Tang My lord, there is a poem that says, 'Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer', how appropriate."

"My lord Tang, although you have the ambition to change the world, but, with all due respect, you don't take advantage of the right time, location, and harmony of people." Can reforms be achieved only with the trust of the emperor?Unless I meet a real Mingjun, although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go alone.If you don't have such courage, it is best not to mention the word reform casually!In Lin Jing's view, Emperor Zhaode did not possess such courage.If Tang Ying only wanted to rely on Emperor Zhaode to carry out the reform of the world, it would be like building a house on the beach, which is too unreliable.

Tang Ying was born in the country as a first-rank university scholar and household minister, so naturally he would not be left speechless when asked by Lin Jing, a yellow-mouthed child.Tang Ying was still quite graceful, and said with a slight smile, "I often hear people say that the fourth son of the Lin family is smart and intelligent, but now it seems that the outside talk really insults the fourth son's talent."

"However, the fourth son is still young, so he doesn't know the affairs of the court." Tang Ying said, "You said that the reform means that the new rich family replaces the old one, and the new family replaces the old one. It's just a joke. But, I don't know if you have thought about it, even so, why there are still reforms in the court."

"The reform is not the kind of earth-shattering change that the young master refers to. Haven't you thought about it, for example, this year in Chunwei, in addition to the teacher, the number of invigilators increased to 50. This is also a reform, because many people see it in a small way. Not at all. In fact, the country is undergoing reform all the time, but some changes are small and no one notices it." Tang Ying said, "Even if the reform is like the kind that the young master said, there are many dynasties and dynasties. A country has Just like a person, people will get sick, so will the country. Otherwise, what's the use of ministers?"

"I have seen ordinary people in the world who are like ants, even if they are as humble as dust all their lives, but, in my opinion, it is still different to be the dust of the prosperous age or the dust of the end of the world." Tang Yingwen said "I am a little bit older than you. When I traveled in the past, I saw that when there was a severe drought in Jinling, the crops in the fields were not harvested, and the people were so hungry. To tell you the truth, I only took one look at that time, and then put I vomited out all the food I ate that day.”

"That kind of scene, if you look at it, you won't feel pity, but you will feel disgusted. It's not that you feel disgusted by these hungry people, but that poverty and hunger make people sick." Tang Ying's brows showed a touch of compassion, and said, "I also feel disgusted. Counting people who have read some poems and books, it was only then that they really understood the meaning of "I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world". Now the world has not changed, but if there is no reform, how long can this world last? Nobody made it clear."

"Do you think the people are insignificant? Tang Taizong said that the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. When all the people who are as humble as ants are driven to one place to shake the big tree, the sad thing is not the ants, but the tree. " Tang Ying said lightly, "I want to reform, not to support a group of new aristocratic families to replace the old ones. What I want is to find a way of life for the people of the world, a way to live a good life."

"What I hope is that a person, even if he is born as humble as an ant, even if he is unknown all his life, I hope that a person can live like a person."

"I have studied for many years, fourth son, do you think, in this world, whose interests are consistent with those of the royal family?" Tang Ying did not expect Lin Jing's answer, he looked at the almonds that had cooled down on the table Cha, "Actually, the people who have the same interests as the royal family are not the clansman, the family, the wealthy, and even the high officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The people who really have the same interests as the royal family are the common people."

"As long as their stomachs are full, none of the common people will rebel. Once the common people rebel, clansmen, aristocratic families, wealthy families, and even officials can change to serve the new master. However, no royal family can keep safe when the dynasty changes." Tang Ying's voice was still warm, "When the people are safe, the dynasty will be safe. If the people are uneasy, the dynasty will be uneasy."

"You said that I don't have the right time, the right place, and the right people. In fact, this is wrong. There is no emperor who doesn't want their people to live a good life."
