The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling's face was a little ugly, "Just to be less greedy and sit back and watch them evade taxes? Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Seeing that the couple's faces were equally ugly, Fan Zijin sighed, "I know you won't be able to accept it for a while, but this is the truth. Daqi's situation is much better than it has been in previous dynasties."

"Fart," Mu Yangling couldn't help but explode, "Officials not only have salary, silver and lumi, but also official land. The salary is so rich that they can support ten families, not to mention one family. Why should they be greedy? ?”

If it was the Ming Dynasty, officials could still use the excuse of low salaries for corruption, and then the salaries of officials in Daqi were extremely generous. The salary of civil servants in her previous life was more than ten times higher, and she couldn't find a reason for corruption at all.

"The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of being loyal to the emperor, and thinking about money and silver, it is better to go into business, why come to be an official, wanting fame and status, but also holding on to money and wealth, it is simply a spring and autumn dream!"

Seeing that she was breathing heavily from anger, Qi Haoran hurriedly supported her, "Don't be angry, and be careful of the children in your stomach. If they take bribes and break the law, they will be punished according to the law. It's not worth your anger."

Fan Zijin shook his head, "It's not that simple, don't mess around and offend more people, those aristocratic families and civil servants have been holding their breath because the emperor cut off a lot of their benefits, at this time, if something goes wrong, it will detonate Well, you have never been criticized by civil servants. Didn’t Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou mention the taxation of official land? It ended up being buried in the papers of civil servants, and finally nothing happened. If it happened that Dajin came to commit the crime, it would definitely not be over. "Fan Zijin said: "It's those civil servants who won't end up with Emperor Sejong. Their mouths are so powerful. Officials in the world listen to the orders of civil officials, and the people are ignorant. They are fooled by a few words. We can't compete."

Qi Haoran didn't believe it, "It's because you don't want to work hard to fight?"

Fan Zijin complained, "One punch is hard to beat four legs, and the same is true for a fight of words. With just one mouth, can I win against the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty? Can you beat thousands of troops by yourself?"

Qi Haoran was choked.

Mu Yangling gritted his teeth and sneered, "Of course one person can't beat the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. In the same way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't defeat tens of thousands of people. Isn't it just a comparison of saliva? Then I will let the saliva drown them."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin felt awkward, and had to remind, "Ah Ling, who else in this world can speak more eloquently than a civil servant?"

Mu Yangling snorted coldly, "Of course it's a scholar, of course it's a common man in the market. What I dislike the most is arguing, but since they like it, I'll give it to them. I've decided. I want to run a newspaper!"

She is not good at talking, but there are always people in this world who are good at it. Aren't those civil servants just relying on their mouths to say that they can compare black to white, and white to black? She finds some people to play with them.

Thanks to the open environment provided by Emperor Sejong, the people have a high degree of freedom of speech, and everyone will definitely accept it very well. In terms of guiding public opinion, what is better than newspapers?

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin were confused, Qi Haoran pondered for a while, and asked hesitantly: "You mean you want to run a residence newspaper?"

"The Dibao is something that the imperial court issues to officials. What am I doing with that? And I'm not qualified. What I want to do is private, and it's only for ordinary people to borrow and buy."

Looking at his confident wife, Qi Haoran couldn't help but said: "Ah Ling, nine and a half out of ten people in this world can't read, how many people can buy this newspaper?"

Mu Yangling glanced at him sideways, and said: "This matter is not about business, but about venting anger. Don't you have a storyteller who is illiterate? Provide them with storytelling topics for nothing, and they are happy."

Fan Zijin rubbed his chin, counted the audience in his mind, and said: "In this way, there are indeed more people participating, and each person's words can indeed drown those civil servants, but if one person can't control it well, I'm afraid it will cause riots."

After all, the common people hate greed and cruelty the most, and it is very dangerous to lead everyone to discuss here. If there is someone with a heart to provoke, I am afraid that the yamen will be besieged.

Mu Yangling gave him a disdainful look, "I stripped it off for everyone to see without saying anything, not to mention ordinary people, even a person like me who has gone through wind and rain can't bear it, so I will dress one by one. Let them peel it off, and continue when they can accept it, and they will always tear off the last fig leaf."

Fan Zijin blushed.

Qi Haoran coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "A Ling, be more reserved." Are these words a girl can say?

Mu Yangling glared at him and said, "You just say yes or no."

Fan Zijin was helpless, "If we don't agree, will you stop doing it?"

"No." Mu Yangling said firmly.

"That's all right, we have to promise or promise."

Xiao Xia looked left and right, finally looked at Mu Yangling, and said weakly: "A Ling, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes," Mu Yangling said, "I don't need anything, but I am short of people. See if there are any redundant people in your dowry, and choose a few for me."

"This matter needs to be considered in the long term." Fan Zijin looked at her belly and said, "Let's wait until you give birth to the child. It requires recruitment, opening of restaurants, and the requirement to spread it all over Daqi. It can be done within a year and a half, and coincidentally, although the re-setting of the commercial tax has set the tone, it is impossible to win it in three or two years, so we are not in a hurry."

Mu Yangling squinted at him triumphantly, "A year and a half? I can do it in a month, and the article can be written directly by scholars or some people of insight, as long as the outline is okay, and then the recent government decree , Corrupt officials seized, relatively serious criminal cases, and some anecdotes from various places were sorted out and handed over to bookstores. After printing, they were sent to bookstores, academies, schools, teahouses and various yamen. One month is enough succeed."

Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran opened their mouths wide.

Mu Yangling said triumphantly: "If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation and the long travel time, this time can be shortened. You know, my bookstore is like a grain store, spread all over Daqi, and printing newspapers is not a word. It's about words."

Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran closed their mouths, and said dryly, "Why are bookstores opening all over Daqi?"

"No way, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong's wish is to open Baoxiong Academy all over Daqi. In order to buy books at a low price, they can only ask me to open bookstores all over Daqi. Anyway, there are students everywhere who want to study, and bookstores are needed to buy books. , the cost of opening a bookstore is not high, and you can open a bookstore by saving some travel expenses, so I agreed."

Should they also thank the two bear children for their great ambition?

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin looked at each other, and felt that things seemed to be getting worse and worse. They promised Mu Yangling to run a newspaper to guide public opinion, but that was on the premise that it would be done in a year and a half. Isn't it obvious that the conflict is intensified?

The two couldn't help touching their foreheads, and apologized to Qi Xiuyuan in their hearts. They seemed to have ruined the big brother's (big cousin) plan, would they be drawn?
