The Founding of the Red Chamber

I don't know who it is, who made trouble for Emperor Zhaowen during the Chinese New Year.

Although Lin Jing didn't like Emperor Zhaowen very much, he felt that the people who ordered the imperial censor were really worthless.It's already depressing enough for the emperor to become Emperor Zhaode. It's the New Year's Eve, and instead of letting His Majesty take a break, he wants to make His Majesty more difficult. This is really...

Lin Jing asked his elder brother about the follow-up questions about the Cannon Fodder Censor in hindsight, Lin Yi said, "Think more about your studies, I don't see you putting so much effort into your studies."

"Practice what you've learned. Besides, I'm already studying with my husband." Lin Jing nimbly jumped onto his elder brother's knee and urged, "Big brother, be serious."

Lin Yi held Lin Yi's back with one hand, fearing that he would fall dishonestly, staring at Lin Jing's energetic slap face, and said, "I lost weight." Lin Jing was not fat at all. The flesh that has been replenished is all thinner, especially in a face, only a pair of eyes are left, it is not as wide as Lin Yi's hand, it is really a slap in the face.

Lin Jing murmured, "Big brother, can serious things be done?"

"Is the censor being instructed by someone? You can think of this in your head. Could it be that there are fools in the court, and others can't think of it?" Lin Yi said, "The censor was instructed, not someone's slave. Can you stand Officials in the imperial court, even if their grades are not high, if they don’t pay some price, the censor may not be driven by him. Even if they pay a price, how can they be easily found out.”

Lin Jing was disappointed, "Brother, you can just say that you don't know."

A smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, "That's what it means. All right, I'll tell you if there is any progress. You are a good student, don't tire yourself out, combine work and rest, I see how you are better than last year. Generally short."

"Where is the shortness? I measured it. Compared with the mark engraved last year, it has grown so tall that it is more than an inch." Lin Jing gestured with his thumb and forefinger, and was very displeased that Lin Yi said he was short.

Lin Yi smiled, "How about coming to the study in the evening after you recover your health?"

Lin Jing was naturally one thousand willing, he said, "I'm safe now, both my husband and the imperial physician said so."

"No, the buttocks are painful." Lin Yi patted Lin Jing's buttocks, "At least grow back the flesh that was lost before."

Lin Jing said, "I became thinner because I grew taller."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lin Jing said, "Big brother, I'll have dinner with big brother, okay?" He took Lin Yi to look at Lin Ze again, and asked Lin Yi, "Big brother, tell me, sister-in-law Is it a little nephew or a little niece?"

"How do I know that."

"I like my little nephew."

Lin Jingxu chatted with Lin Yi, and ordered his servants to put his food in the main courtyard.The Yue family was also happy to see the two brothers, "Ze'er was just talking about my fourth uncle." As he said that, Lin Ze, who looked like a dumpling, had already swayed towards Lin Jing on his short legs, and Lin Jing bowed down. Hugging Lin Ze in his arms, Lin Ze called out childishly, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle." His little hands grabbed Lin Jing's hairband.

Lin Jing lowered his head and bit Lin Ze's apple face, Lin Ze laughed loudly.

Shu Jingyun didn't say much about Lin Yi's allowing Lin Jing to listen in the study. Lin Jing, who was always overthinking, inquired with Shu Jingyun in private, "Sir, why do you think big brother is so generous all of a sudden?"

Shu Jingyun raised her eyebrows, "When did Ah Yi become unkind to you?" It seems that Lin Yi and Lin Jing are so different in age, they are raising a son rather than a younger brother.

The servant brought a pot of sweet tea, Lin Jing took it and poured two cups, and offered one to Shu Jingyun first, and said, "Big brother is naturally kind to me, but in the past, big brother preferred me to concentrate on my studies. , or the counselor recommends me to be an official, but there is no one who allows me to listen in the study as generously as now."

Shu Jingyun was not as careful with Lin Jing as Lin Yi, he said calmly, "The situation in the court is not very good."

Lin Jing took a sip of the sweet tea and looked up at Shu Jingyun. Shu Jingyun didn't hide anything from him, "Ah Yi said, seeing what Tang Ying meant, the restructuring is just around the corner."

"What restructuring?" Tang Ying, a big fool, often came to his house to fool his elder brother. Lin Jing hated it the most.His family has been rich for many years, who wants to restructure?Besides, Emperor Zhaode was quite mean to his family, so Lin Jing would not bother to talk about such a thankless matter.However, system reform is a major event. Although Lin Jing is young, he was born to be a father, so he is very concerned about it.

Shu Jingyun said in a slow voice, "The land is calculated according to the Fu, and the land is calculated according to the size of the land."

Lin Jing frowned. Although he was smart by nature, he didn't know much about land taxation and other things. He only knew that taxes were collected on the basis of Ding. endowed?"

Shu Jingyun said, "Simply put, that's what it means."

Lin Jing said, "But how do those military households, artisan households, tenant households, and kitchen households get their taxes?" For example, tenant households are renting and planting the land of the master's family, and they themselves have no land.

Shu Jingyun didn't speak.Lin Jing couldn't help it, "If this is the case, who in the court would like it?" Not to mention others, his family has a lot of land, both in his hometown and near the imperial capital.Of course, according to Lin Yi's title, many lands are exempt from taxation.It's not that Lao Lin's family can't afford the money, but if you think about other officials in the court, who would be willing to take money from their own land to the court?

Shu Jingyun picked up the sweet tea and took a sip slowly, "Don't talk about people in the court, it seems that you just don't like it."

Lin Jing scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Money is a trivial matter. I think what Tang Ying meant was nothing more than killing the rich and helping the poor. Like my family, the population is not large, so it's not that I can't afford the money. I can live on. If His Majesty insists on doing this, my family will not oppose His Majesty. Besides, if Your Majesty can do this, how much the imperial court’s income will increase this year. If the imperial court has money, it will be beneficial to the world.”

"I just don't know what other people think." Lin Jing said honestly, "Sir asked me to study history. From ancient times to the present, the kings who are worthy are people who have changed the laws of the previous generations. But such a king must be courageous. If you have the power to control the world, you can say that you can change it easily. If you change it well, you will naturally be a famous king of a generation. If you don’t change it well, people will betray their relatives, and the country’s subversion will be light."

Shu Jingyun did not comment on Tang Ying's ambitious reforms, but at Lin Jing's age, it is considered insightful to be able to say these words.Shu Jingyun nodded slightly, "That's why Ah Yi asked you to listen in the study."

Lin Jing blinked his black and white big phoenix eyes, and said softly, "It turns out that big brother doesn't like His Majesty either."

Shu Jingyun said angrily, "You can't have a guard with your mouth."

Lin Jing said, "If you talk about it yourself, what kind of door do you use? If it gets out, I will say that the husband leaked it."

"It's really difficult to raise girls and villains." Shu Jingyun smiled softly, and said to Lin Jing, "It's okay to talk casually at home, but pay attention to me when you talk outside."

Lin Jing pouted, "Who am I talking to outside! Guan Xiaoer and Cui Jinran won't tell me this." Speaking of his friends, Lin Jing said, "Last time, Guan Xiaoer talked about peach blossoms in the suburbs. When it opened, he even invited me to enjoy the peach blossoms together." While talking, he still looked at Shu Jingyun.

Shu Jingyun said, "Look at what I do, I can go as soon as I want. I'm a man, I'm so tired and crooked."

"Then help me tell my elder brother, what if my elder brother forbids me to go out?"

"You're not a girl, what are you always doing in the mansion? It's just that you just recovered, so it's true to be careful when you go out."

"I know." Lin Jing was more reluctant to get sick than anyone else.

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Shu Jingyun made some adjustments to Lin Jing's courses. Lin Jing was worried. From Lin Jing's point of view, Emperor Zhaode's prestige in the court was mediocre. Emperor Zhaode wanted to show compensation to Yin Xie Guogong's grandson, Xie Guogong had already separated from Zhaode Emperor.In this case, it is necessary to reform the taxation.Whether Emperor Zhaode was good or bad, Lin Jing didn't care, he was worried only about his aunt, Empress Dowager Lin, in the Palace of Mercy.

Lin Jing was tossed and turned in the middle of the night, he was young after all, even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only curse Emperor Zhaode in his heart for being dizzy, for using such a crazy person as Tang Ying!In case something happens, it's better not to implicate his aunt!

Lin Yi is also worried about Lin Jing, Shu Jingyun is not hiding anything from Lin Yi about Lin Jing's education, in Lin Yi's view, Lin Jing is smart, but he is too lonely.Shu Jingyun disagreed, and said, "If you treat me like a gentleman, I will repay you; if you treat me like a passer-by, I will repay you. If you treat me like nothing, I will repay you with revenge."

Hearing this, Lin Yi could see that Lin Jing was really managed by Shu Jingyun, and smiled wryly, "That's the case. It's just that my family is different from others. My aunt lives in the Palace of Mercy. No matter what, I hope that your Majesty will be well."

Lin Yi said earnestly, "Under the overturned nest, there will be eggs." No matter how much Emperor Zhaode feared the Lin family, the Lin family could just bear with it.What's more, Lin Yi was a student of Emperor Zhaode when he was young. He knew Emperor Zhaode very well. Dedi will not do anything to the Lin family.Everyone is still living peacefully.However, if the country is in danger, what benefits does the Lin family benefit from being the mother of the Empress Dowager Lin?

To put it simply, if Emperor Zhaode is well, the Lin family will not be honored; if Emperor Zhaode happens, the Lin family will definitely follow the unlucky one.

This is really...

Lin Yi rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty can't let His Majesty do what he wants."

Shu Jingyun smiled slightly, "I want to come to Xie Guogong's mansion to do the same."

Lin Yi's face was not very happy, but he sighed softly.
