The general content of the New Deal is summarized, mainly in terms of taxation.

Because of the emptiness of the national treasury in the past two years, the Emperor Wei encouraged the reclamation of wasteland while raising taxes for merchants.This New Deal has a very important change, that is, the tax on scholars.

The officials of the Great Wei Dynasty did not need to pay taxes, and as long as the scholars were admitted as scholars, they could be exempted from taxes for the whole family.

In the past two years, scholars have been encouraged to take the imperial examination, and the proportion of scholars has been increasing. Therefore, one of the regulations of the New Deal is that after the scholars are admitted to the examination, the whole family will continue to pay taxes, but it is less than that of ordinary people.

All the people present are scholars, and naturally they don't care about the money if their families are good, which is different from those from poor families.

Someone stood up and said: "We have worked hard to be a scholar, isn't it just to reduce the burden on our family? Now, once the New Deal comes out, won't this book be for nothing?"

There are voices of support and voices of opposition.The arguments and examples that Li Zhiyuan had prepared were useless, but what was needed at this time was eloquence in debate, and it was impossible to stand out from so many people without speaking.

It stands to reason that Li Zhiyuan is the son of Shangshu, his family is rich and powerful, and his grandfather is a great Confucian, so he should object to what that person said just now.

However, he said: "What you said is very reasonable. There are many scholars in the world, especially those from poor families with low prices. If this policy continues, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not give up scientific examinations. In this way, for the literary world of our great Wei Dynasty, It will be a big trauma, so the loss outweighs the gain!"

This new decree was issued by the emperor, but the emperor has a queen dowager above him.The current Great Wei Emperor ascended the throne when he was still a child, and the Queen Mother has always been behind the curtain to listen to the government and control the government.In the year of the emperor, he had to return power to him.

However, even so, the emperor was not so free, and was still constrained everywhere.Li Zhiyuan's mother is the empress dowager's distant niece. With the empress dowager's help, their family didn't take the young emperor seriously, but followed the empress dowager's order.

Today's topic on politics was changed to New Deal, because the emperor wanted to hear scholars' opinions on the New Deal.

There are many students from poor families in the world, and some of them were from poor families present. They agreed with Li Zhiyuan's words very much.

Li Zhiyuan next to him talked more and more vigorously, and most of the poor students present cheered for him, which made his self-confidence swell to the point where two jars couldn't hold it.

However, Jiang Ziyan didn't think so. Although the new policy had its advantages and disadvantages, he still believed that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.Those in power must have fully considered this point before deciding to officially issue this new policy.

He said: "I don't think so. Although the New Deal did not completely exempt the scholars who won the scholar's tax, but judging from the content of the New Deal, 80.00% of the tax is exempted, which means that only the remaining 20.00% of the tax needs to be paid. It’s fine. Besides, are scholars all over the world studying hard for ten years just for this little silver? Then what about the literati’s strength of character that you keep talking about every day?”

"Ten years of hard study, once an official, should serve the country as its own duty, you must know that a country can have a family. Although taxes cannot be completely exempted, it has also lightened the burden for most families. In the past few years, the border has always been In the war, the national treasury is now empty, and paying 20.00% more taxes can be regarded as a small contribution to the country. Why are you talking about it so badly now!"

Jiang Ziyan said that many people present were ashamed.Huang Ye on the side didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

As soon as the new policy came out, what he feared most was that some people would encourage these scholars, and finally make it impossible to implement it.Even if Jiang Ziyan hadn't said these words today, he had arranged for other people to lead positive remarks.

But now things are developing better than he imagined, because what Jiang Ziyan said just now is really good, and there is no trace of man-made manipulation behind the scenes, so that the queen mother in the palace will not catch anyone. handle.

Li Zhiyuan blushed at what he said, and the anger that had accumulated from the first match to the present suddenly exploded. Anyway, they had the support of the old queen mother in the palace behind their house, so he ignored it and said, "What are you? You How could a dude who was born in the Hou's mansion and didn't know the sufferings of the people understand the importance of the little money you said to those poor families!

When you are squandering a lot of money on popular and spicy food, others are living hard and working hard.Besides, you are a businessman and not a scholar. What position do you have to criticize from the perspective of the majority?Jiang Yu, do you need me to explain all the stupid things you did in the capital? "

Looking at Li Zhiyuan's aggressive appearance now, Jiang Ziyan thought that he was fighting against him today.

He said: "People are not sages, no one can do nothing. It is said that the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. Even though I used to make mistakes when I was young, but now I have reformed. I don't mind how you want to explain it. But since the New Deal is brought out as a If there is an issue, it means that everyone present has the right to speak, since you can speak, why can't I speak?"

"You!" Li Zhiyuan's anger has increased a lot. From the beginning until now, he has been frustrated and forced to lose face in front of everyone, and what happened to his grandfather just now also made him feel very embarrassed.

Li Zhiyuan yelled inwardly, what is Ning'an Marquis Mansion?It's nothing more than a prestigious title. Who doesn't know that the Ning'an Hou Mansion is gradually declining, and it's not worth his attention at all.

Especially when he turned his head and saw Jiang Ziyan's half-smiling eyes, he always felt that his face was full of ridicule towards him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyuan finally couldn't help but burst out, and his voice became much sharper, "Well, you Jiang Yu, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Are you looking down on me? Don't rely on the fact that there is a Marquis Mansion behind you, you also If you don't inquire, what kind of joke is your Ning'an Hou Mansion in the capital all these years!

You came back after being missing for two years, who knows what kind of villain you were kidnapped by, it took a lot of effort to come back this time, right?I heard people say that the bandits in those cottages like handsome young men the most. With your face, you must have put a lot of effort into those men to be able to escape, right? "

The more obscene these words are, besides decent scholars, many of them are from rich families in the capital. They often say this kind of bastard in private, but now this occasion is all about elegant things, and it is inevitable to say these things Causing psychological discomfort to others present.

Seeing that Li Zhiyuan wanted to continue talking, the person who hosted on stage coughed twice, trying to stop him.

However, before he could open his mouth, Cao Xuanshi suddenly said aloud, "You bastard, don't you even look at this place? What did you just say!"

After all, Cao Xuanshi was old and experienced, so he quickly stopped him.

Saying those stupid things in this kind of place, in a small place, is a joke that doesn't know how to speak, and it is degrading to the gentleman.If it goes too far, it is a real demeanor of a scholar, it is an act of immorality, and if it is not done well, it will implicate the family members who are officials in the court.

If the officials in the court found out, a letter of impeachment would be written, saying that Li Shangshu had no way to teach his son, which would be unsafe.A minister can't even manage his family, so how can he help the emperor govern the country as a minister?

Li Zhiyuan is also a scholar, his conditions are good, and his grandfather is a great Confucian, so he can get any scarce reading resources.Now he is also an examiner, and he will also participate in Chunwei at the end of February.If today's incident becomes a big issue, even if he is admitted to Jinshi in the future, he may be deprived of his fame.

He didn't take this consequence into consideration when he spoke, but Cao Xuanshi knew it.

Cao Xuanshi said again: "Hurry up and admit your mistakes to the doctors and examiners present. With your level, you dare to utter wild words here. You are really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers!"

The subtext of what he said was that this grandson was still young and ignorant, so he would say such stupid things.Attributing all his mistakes to his young age, who would care about a child?

After all, Cao Xuanshi has the title of a great Confucian, and several doctors on the stage looked at the situation, and simply smoothed things over, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, the child is still young, and he has never seen strong winds and waves. It is common sense to speak and act unsteadily. among."

Cao Xuanshi was very relieved to see someone pass the steps, so he went down.This grandson was raised by him alone. Fortunately, these remarks were covered up. Even if someone mentions it again in the future, there is nothing to say.

Although the Ph.D.s of the Imperial College are only teaching and learning, they don't have that many contacts, and they have taught countless students who have become talents.

At the end, Cao Xuanshi taught Li Zhiyuan a lesson: "You child, you will learn more from several doctors in the future. Their knowledge is no less than your grandfather and me. If you can learn a little bit, it will benefit you a lot."

On the surface, these words are teaching his grandson, but in fact, they are praising several doctors.Who doesn't like to be listened to?It was the same with these few people, when they heard Cao Xuanshi say this, although they said it modestly, they were all very happy in their hearts.

So the two parties seemed to have reached a consensus tacitly, and they did not mention the matter just now.

The political debate in the third session was interrupted for a while, but generally speaking, everyone had a great time discussing it. Before the time was over, a new round of political debates started again. It seemed extremely harmonious, as if the conflict just now had nothing to do with it. It didn't happen.

At this moment, someone from below suddenly got up, the voice was not loud but very majestic: "Today is really an eye-opener for me! I didn't know that scholars in my Great Wei are so eloquent in the debate field!"

It was just a very common sentence, but it was quite intimidating when it came out of Huang Ye's mouth.

These words alone are nothing, but when Huang Ye said these words, he looked at Cao Xuanshi and said them.

Among the several doctors on the stage, some of them had recognized Huang Ye, but they didn't dare to mention it.As for Cao Xuanshi, his attention was focused on Li Zhiyuan and Jiang Ziyan, and he almost didn't look directly at the people sitting below.So from the beginning to the end, the current emperor was not found sitting below.

The other students present had never seen what he looked like today, but they couldn't help being surprised when they heard this man utter such wild words, and they all looked over, wondering which family's children were so presumptuous.

A trace of impatience appeared on Cao Xuanshi's face when he heard this sentence, who is so ignorant of flattery?Didn't everything just turn upside down?

However, the moment he saw Huang Ye, he was about to faint. It was over. The emperor saw all of today's events. His face was pale, and he was stunned on the spot. He forgot to kneel down and salute for a while.

The doctors on the stage recognized Huang Ye at a glance, and immediately someone lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Welcome to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

All the people present were stunned by the sound of "long live, long live, long live". After a moment of stunned, they regained consciousness, and quickly knelt down to salute.

Jiang Ziyan naturally knelt down with everyone, and he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that this Huang Ye was actually the current emperor. He had guessed which prince or royal family member it was before, but he guessed it wrong.

The main reason is that Huang Ye looks too young. In Jiang Ziyan's perception, although the emperor is only in his twenties, but he is busy with state affairs every day, no matter how you look at it, he should not be a handsome young man like Huang Ye.

Jiang Ziyan has been living in the southwest region since he came to this era, and he only learned something about this dynasty from the memory of the original owner.

He actually doesn't know much about the emperor.

The current emperor's name is Li Chengye. Although this emperor has only been in power for a short time, I heard that he is a very capable person.Otherwise, it will not grow its wings step by step under the control of the Queen Mother.

Probably the empress dowager was still greedy for power, and the emperor she had supported since childhood grew up and was out of control. Like many historical records, she set her mind on the next generation of princes.

So she began to add people to the emperor's harem in different ways, hoping that he would give birth to a prince early, and then she could copy the method of the past, break the emperor's body, bring the little prince to the throne, and she can still listen to the government behind the curtain.

Looking at Huang Ye's behavior today, Jiang Ziyan had a good impression of him, and he was not as sinister and vicious as the folk rumors said.At the very least, he is much stronger than the previous brutal Emperor Min recorded in the history books.

"Everyone get up." Huang Ye said, he even helped Jiang Ziyan who was closer to him, which made him a little flattered.

In Huang Ye's mind, Jiang Ziyan was not at all the same as the rumors. He actually had some impressions of this young master of the Hou's mansion.

When Li Zhiyuan fell off his horse and broke his leg, he said it was Jiang Yu's fault, but Li Shangshu insisted on making Jiang Yu lose his leg, and even filed a lawsuit before the imperial court because of this.

But he knew in his heart that Li Shangshu was a pro-queen party, and he didn't want to help him, so he used other excuses to block back.

Later, Jiang Yu's aunt Liu and grandfather were afraid of being approached by Li Shangshu, so they sent him to the village of Zhuangzi, and this was how Jiang Yu was killed later.

Huang Ye couldn't help sighing again in his heart, rumors are unbelievable, seeing is believing.

He asked again: "Jiang Ziyan, do you really not consider taking the imperial examination to become an official?"

Jiang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be here, and I don't like to be an official in the court. I just want to do business, travel around the world, and live a free life."

Huang Ye was very disappointed in his heart. He is a person who cherishes talents, and now in the court, he continues to train his confidants. He admires Jiang Ziyan very much, but the other party has no intention of becoming an official in the court.

Seeing that he seemed a little disappointed, Jiang Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, even if I don't go to the scientific examination, I can still help the Emperor. I probably still have a talent for business. Believe me, Wei will definitely be better and better under your governance. Come and get better."

Then he pulled over Lin Zhao, Chen Mian and Yang Su, "Although I don't take the imperial examination, they are all candidates for this year's exams, and their talents are much stronger than mine, so they will always help the emperor."

This is a good opportunity to make a good impression on the emperor, but other people can only have the chance to see the face of the emperor during the palace examination.

If he could leave an impression on the emperor at this time, when he really went to the palace examination in the future, he might be able to get the emperor's attention before others, and it would only be beneficial to the future.

Chen Mian and the others naturally understood this meaning, and introduced their names openly.

Huang Ye nodded and said, "I hope to see you all in the Golden Luan Hall."

This sentence is a great encouragement to all the candidates, just like the president of the country in the previous life said to a high school student, hoping to see you in the Capital University.

Chen Mian was so excited, his heart was beating non-stop, Yang Su was also very happy.Lin Zhao seemed much calmer than the two of them. He already had confidence in this imperial examination.He still had another matter in his heart, which was about Jiang Ziyan.

Only today did he know that the person he picked up back then was the young master of the Hou's Mansion in the capital, no wonder he always felt that he had a noble aura at the beginning.

When he arrived in the capital, he was equivalent to returning home.Then will he return to live in the house they bought now?Will he go back to Hou Mansion after today is over?

His status is so noble, and he is just a humble student from the countryside who went to Beijing to take the exam. The status gap is so big, can they still live as before in the future?

Jiang Ziyan had no idea what Lin Zhao was thinking at this time, but he was very happy to have his name registered with the emperor.

But Huang Ye next to him was not so happy.The refusal of the person he admired so much to become an official made him a little unhappy. Coupled with the matter of Cao Xuanshi just now, the majesty on his face became even more serious.

With the backlog of fire in his heart, he rushed towards Cao Xuanshi with all his might.

"Cao Xuanshi, today I really didn't expect that my great scholar in the literary world of the Wei Dynasty is actually a person who likes to tell stories, does things biased, and seeks fame!"

A series of three unvirtuous words were thrown at Cao Xuanshi from Huang Ye's mouth. His head was dizzy and his legs were shaking.

Huang Ye looked at him sharply, and said, "Did you teach this grandson of Cao Daru? No wonder he is so good at talking. Have all the benevolence, righteousness and morality of a scholar been learned in the stomach of a dog!"

The tone of the last sentence is very strong, like the high point of anger concentration.Not only Cao Xuanshi was frightened, but also Li Zhiyuan not far away, he looked worse than Cao Xuanshi.

The whole person's face was pale, kneeling on the ground, his hands and legs were trembling, he had already begun to slur his speech, kowtowed all the time, and said in his mouth: "I beg the emperor to forgive my sins, I beg the emperor to forgive my sins..."
