The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

As the emperor's teacher, Fang Jian is also considered a leading figure in the cabinet. He is determined to carry out grain and tax reforms, but before it starts, opposition is raging.The old man was not young, and he was so angry that he almost fell ill in bed.Fortunately, many colleagues also voiced their support, but unexpectedly, the Minister of the Household Department, who has always shown himself to be anti-corruption and punishing corruption, and helping the weak and peaceful, did not take any action this time.

Even his old boss, Shui Fu, felt strange, and thought to himself, this is really not like Tai Yin's style, could it be that his sister became the princess of Wu, and he also knew that the big tree attracts wind, or, that Shui Rong is really so powerful, can he To persuade him to change his temper?

But Fang Jian said: "There are some people who boast and talk endlessly when it is their turn, but they find that the credit cannot be attributed to themselves, so they are too lazy to get ahead. We work for the people, how can we only care about our own reputation?" No names were named, but everyone knew who he was talking about.For a while, the focus of questioning the reform was shifted, which saved Fang Jian a lot of verbal disputes.After all, taking surplus grain from rich peasants to fill the national treasury, and saving miscellaneous taxes from poor peasants to reassure the people, will damage the harvest of many officials and slaughterers, which is unavoidable.

Lin Mo didn't speak out to defend himself: "Am I stupid? He didn't say who he was scolding, so I confessed it myself? The old man is getting old, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it, so forget it." But just because he can keep it doesn't mean that no one will stand up for him.

Rong Jia stood up rather displeased.

This son-in-law-to-be is really worthy of his nickname of "Master Rong", and he is not afraid of the current prime minister and talks freely.This dialogue between the old and the young was held in the Zhaoqin Garden of the Guozijian. Hundreds of students from the Guozijian listened to the records. When it came to Xing Chu, many lively students also joined the discussion. It is known in history as "Zhaoqin Four Questions" ".

Rong Jia asked Fang Jian, what is the standard for dividing the rich from the poor?Let me ask again, since those who have passed the examination as a scholar can enjoy a tax reduction for the whole family. It is true that there are not many people who have obtained fame in this world, but what percentage of the farms in the world are in the hands of officials?Three questions, rich peasants and poor peasants are registered in the register, how many years is the list updated?Who will do it?Who will oversee it?Who is responsible for the manpower and material resources?

"Although I was young, my father started as a county magistrate from a young age. He always told me that the county magistrate has the people in his heart. As long as the taxes are not too harsh, the people can still live a life. If they only want to fill their own pockets, the looser the taxation policy, the more profitable they will be. Fang Xiang is dedicated to the people, a role model for our generation, but he is not a pessimistic official. In this world, there are not many good officials like Fang Xiang who are thrifty and self-motivated. Commonly, most people, if they are far away from supervision and have power in their hands, it is difficult to resist the temptation."

Fang Jian asked: "Lord Xiaorong, this is because of choking, so he gave up eating. Are we going to ignore people's livelihood just because of this fear?"

Rong Jia said: "No, it's just the food and tax reform. The merits will last forever, and it can't be built overnight. The right and wrong benefits must be carefully considered. Now I have four questions. And I am just a brocade suit The dude who was raised in jade food and who doesn't know the world's affairs and the sufferings of the people, how will Fang Xiang know that no one will ask eight or ten questions when it is actually implemented? I'm not talking about long-term plans, it's just such a big framework Placed there, it is resplendent and magnificent, if you don’t think about the details at all, it won’t look good if you leave it empty.”

He was young, and his words were not polite, but he almost said that Fang Jianzhi's reforms were just a show.It's just that the child did ask something, and even Fang Jian became more cautious.

"Threesomes, there must be my teacher, and the sage will never deceive me!" The old man is not small, no matter if it is true or false, anyway, he has acted like a corporal in front of the students. Rong Jia also smiled and rolled his eyes. He was well-behaved and smiled. When he got up, he was even more innocent, making people feel at ease, and almost forgot that his eloquent tongue just made people almost unable to get off the stage.In any case, the old humble and the young respectful can be regarded as harmonious.

Rong Jia made a big show of being in the limelight, and said with a watery smile: "Your cousin, you are really not afraid of anything. It's just that you are comfortable here, and you are not ashamed to ask children to stand out for you?"

Lin Mo said: "When did I ask him to stand up for me? He himself likes to litigate, and he is free on Sundays. When the capital was turbulent a while ago, this kid was unhappy. Now he is idle again. There is no place for him to play verbal battles with scholars, I am really afraid that he will be overwhelmed." He also knew that Rong Jia was restless, and Dai Yufeng was probably the most sad one for him.Everyone said that he took advantage of the wealth of the royal family and became a son-in-law, but Rong Jia was probably bitter about the constraints involved.But even so, this child is considered caring if he came to propose marriage happily from the beginning to the end.

With a father who has become a feudal official and a wife who is a noble princess, naturally no king would dare to ask Rong Jia to hold real power, otherwise, the court structure would be inclined to a certain place, and it would be impossible to check and balance the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty This is a taboo for the king.Probably also Rong Jia's regret.If he didn't have to be so smart and agile, it probably wouldn't be such a pity.

However, if he was really a blunt person, even his own cousin, Lin Mo would not have promised Daiyu to him.

Harmony between husband and wife has little to do with fame and fame, but Daiyu is extremely high-minded and elegant. If Xu is beaten and won't say a word, she will be even more depressed.If the husband and wife have nothing to say, then life will be really unreasonable.A man can still have three wives and four concubines, so choose a few more who can talk to him with him, but how can a woman be lonely if she lives alone in a deep boudoir.Rong Jia, this boy, doesn't say anything else, but he can talk with Daiyu for three days and three nights without repeating it. Besides, since the boy has a heart, he promised that he would not take concubines, and that no one would be accepted in the house. Will treat his sister well.

Treating each other well, of course, is not just offering rich clothes and fine food, accompanied by poetry and wine, and talking about poetry and poetry. There are many harmonious couples in this world who share the same mind, even if they just stay in the same room, they are also very comfortable.

Lin Mo knew that he owed Jingxian a lot in this respect—it was just that what Jingxian loved was not what he liked and was good at, if he forced himself to be Jingxian's considerate and gentle husband in his heart, Lei Gong should have made two mistakes for his deceit. Come on.

Shui Rong saw him thinking deeply, and felt strange: "What's wrong with you?"

"I was wondering why I fell in love with you." Lin Mo smiled.It's just that Shui Rong's face is quite thick, and he doesn't look shy at all: "Yeah, how did you fall in love with me?"

Lin Mo said: "I just don't know, so I'm thinking. Do you know?"

"Looking at it, since it's called looking at it, it's just a matter of one glance." Shui Rong fooled it casually.In fact, he knew very well how he fell in love with Lin Mo.Probably because he is a villain himself, so he secretly hides some longing for those high-profile and stalwart people.He was originally a person who liked pretty skins. When he met Lin Mo, he first thought that this person was cunning, but after getting along with him for a long time, he realized that he was really not talking empty words, so he couldn't help but worry about him.It turned out that Shui Fu had the same reasoning, but Shui Fu didn't respond for a long time, but Lin Mo was often teased by him, which was a bit interesting, not to mention his appearance was better, so he gradually put his heart at ease.Shui Rong understands that he is actually quite a hypocrite. He likes those who are sober, but he can't help but do villainous things. After finishing, because of inexplicable guilt and inferiority complex, he yearns for Lin Mo more and more. Admiration, over time, has formed a distorted desire to obey.

The King of Beijing Jing, who is used to being sloppy and profit-seeking, has never really resisted any of Lin Mo's words!

It can be seen that the sage did not deceive Fang Jian, nor did he deceive him.

The real color makes the mind faint.

Fang Jian can become the emperor's teacher, so he naturally has a bit of cunning.Although Rong Jia's words were not pleasant to listen to, they made him toss and turn at home all night, and began to think about those subtle things.As said in Zhaoqin Garden, if this matter is done well, the merits will last forever, but there is a great possibility that it will become a good bridge for corrupt officials to collect money.

It was originally thought that the Ministry of Household Affairs should contribute the most in this reform, but now it seems that the Ministry of Officials has also contributed.

Fang Jian submitted the seal, saying that he was too conceited a few days ago and failed to consider it thoroughly. Fortunately, the reform was not carried out in a hurry and did not cause a catastrophe.He felt that he had made a mistake, so he should apologize.It's just that the reform can't stop. I hope the emperor will choose capable people to benefit the community.

As we all know, the emperor is very partial to the servant of the household department. The person who presides over this reform, among other things, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is not a problem to be famous all over the world. At least he can also enter the cabinet, and everyone respects him.Naturally, Fang Jian would not be so generous as to give up such a good opportunity to be famous forever.However, Zhao Qin's Four Questions were widely circulated among the students, and many people apologized for criticizing Lin Mo's public writing of the article.What's more, he is the one who presided over the reform, but he didn't even consider the things that a child would think of. This is due to the fact that it hasn't been implemented. Otherwise, whose fault is it?He is the emperor's teacher, but he also understands that the emperor was not taught by him, and he is not a person who will forgive his mistakes just because of his status.Since the emperor has made no effort to hide his support for Lin Mo, he might as well go along with the flow and sell favors.Anyway, since the reform up to now, he has been working on the plan, even if Lin Mo has accepted such a sweet potato, he still has to come to him for advice.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not agree, and only said: "It's not just the Taifu, I'm afraid I have stayed in this capital for too long, and I didn't think about it. Now that the Taifu has figured it out, then half of the reforms will be replaced by someone else. I am not at ease, you can go boldly, I will ask King Qi and the Ministry of Household to help you."

He also left room for his words, asking the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households to help, instead of letting Fang Jian command these two departments.

It's just such a good opportunity, but Lin Mo was not asked to take it. After all, some people thought, could it be that Lin Mo is now fighting for favor with the Jiangnan weaving people, but he actually lost?
