Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 168

This year's summer is in a hurry, and it comes early and leaves early. A few days ago, a thunderstorm and roaring rain announced its end. The flowers that were knocked down by the harsh raindrops have not yet dispersed, and the cool breeze of early autumn came slowly.

Waking up from a sweet nap, the quilt exudes the warm fragrance of the sun, Shao Shang lay lazily, motionless, and even his thoughts are languidly empty-this is her normal state for a month.

She is very lively, strong, and aggressive. When she was a child, she would throw mud at the first place. She had never experienced such a long idle state... Well, it seemed quite comfortable.

The god, who had been awake for half an hour, still lay down in her stomach and hummed, and then she reached out from the embroidered gauze tent and pulled the rope bell hanging beside the couch—there was no more urgent study task, and there was no immediate task. In order to meet the needs of marriage, the family members are now wrapping her back from a sickness with a softness like warm water, so Shaoshang treats him with unprecedented kindness.

She sleeps until she wakes up naturally, and eats to her heart's content. Every day she eats and drinks enough, she just sits out under the dry wooden window porch and basks in the sun, just like the old civet cat she brought back from the palace. The belly is relaxed.

After Shao Shang finished eating the nourishing lunch prepared by Ah Li (yes, she slept until noon again), he was fascinated by the refreshing autumn scenery outside the window, and suddenly he wanted to go out for a walk. So Ah Li put a robe on her and let the lotus house help her out.

It is cool in early autumn, and the scenery of the courtyard is unique at this time. The flowers on the branches have not yet begun to wither, and the leaves are emerald green and translucent. It is not like the splendor and enthusiasm of spring, nor the hustle and bustle of summer, but a kind of quiet and elegant beauty.

Shao Shang suddenly said, "Niangniang likes the scenery at this time the most. I thought she could survive until this time." Alimie

, who was following next to him, was startled, and hurriedly said, "Young lady, don't think about it, Niangniang Xuan has already Immortal is gone, if you feel sorry for her again, she will not be at ease in the underground."

Shao Shang smiled: "Where did Mother Fu think of where she went, I just mentioned it casually. After all these years, I still don't know what kind of mother's body is. I don't know, the chronic disease is deep, sooner or later there will be such a day. Fortunately, she went peacefully, and I feel less uncomfortable. "

Because of the inability to preserve the remains in summer, the etiquette and regulations of the required items have been prepared a long time ago. The Empress Dowager Xuan completed the funeral less than a month after she passed away, and entered Tibet. It is said that it is a good place with good feng shui.

Shaoshang went through all the procedures in a numbness of body and mind, and had to reward and dismiss the palace maids and eunuchs who had served previously, lock the door key of Yong'an Palace, return the amulet and token of the palace order to the Queen of Yue, and finally returned home after prostration.

This lying down is a month of pig head life.

She knew that Huo Budo came to her many times during this period, but Mrs. Xiao refused, saying that she wanted her daughter to take good care of her body. But Huo Budo didn't have a lot of time to pester her. Not long after the death of the Queen Mother Xuan, the actions of the commanders of the surnames in various places to resist Tutian intensified, and finally led to an armed rebellion. Therefore, the army that had just entered the warehouse last year was about to assemble again.

The prince's mouth was crooked. Recently, his expression has only switched between two states - solemn, or more solemn; or the tried-and-tested old uncle who is calm.

"Cutting people's wealth is like killing one's parents. People are good at being the emperor of the land. The more the land is merged, the more slaves are gathered, and even the county magistrates and county magistrates have to look at their faces. Now the government insists on intervening, they Naturally, he refuses to give up." The emperor calmly said, "It doesn't matter, just have a meal."

Just when Shao Shang was paralyzed, the emperor had already sent troops to suppress the rebellion, but things did not go well, and the emperor was furious. Then, he called back General Wu, who had thought about it behind closed doors. There was a lot of talk in the court hall for a while, and they all said that General Wu slaughtered the city and surrendered.

The emperor said: "So, what do you think it should be?"

"...These rebels gather to attack and kill local officials, and when they are scattered, they hide in the mountains, forests and grasslands. When the officers and soldiers go to surround and suppress them, they hide. Now the world is full of flames, and the people are struggling to live! I urge Your Majesty to take back the order, and the Tianyi matter will be slowly planned!" The officials who opposed Dutian wept bitterly in the courtroom.

Cui Hou pouted: "There is no beacon everywhere, only Qingxuyouji is the most violent in the four prefectures. The rest of the prefectures were either appeased by the government or surrendered." The

fourth prince was puzzled: "Why are these four prefectures the most violent? Intense?"

Yuhou smiled and said, "Because these four states are all backed by mountains and seas, and they have the benefits of fish and salt sea trade. The local aristocrats are rich and powerful. Besides, they are all far away from the center of the imperial court - they are not like Yangzhou. , although there are many rivers, seas and lakes, it is the beginning of Caoze, and there are not many prestigious families." The

fourth prince suddenly realized.

Another official said, "Qingxuyouji has a vast territory and a huge population, and it is also an important taxation town. Now this chaos has shaken the world. Please think twice about it, Your Majesty!"

Ji Zun said sternly, "Do you want Your Majesty to cast the rat because you are afraid of this? The powerful clans in the four prefectures will give up the government's decrees halfway!"

The official sneered: "Don't be so grandiose! What is going on in Jingfang County, which is full of meritorious deeds? Outside the prefectures, the people of the world will be dissatisfied!"

As soon as he said this, half of the important officials in the court glared at him - to a certain extent, the official's words were correct.

The crown prince's face was ashen, and he said coldly: "Just yesterday, I reported to my father that there was fraud in Jingfang County, and the officials could not justly settle the fields. The father has already sent people to verify, and I will mention a few 'false fields' in the future. Let your Excellency see the head of the commanding officer, and if you want to come to the 'people of the world', you will be convinced!"

The officials who opposed the Tiantian sat down angrily; The family used to be an aristocratic family in Qingzhou!"

The concubine looked embarrassed and said, "Zisheng, you are well-informed and strategic, what do you think?"

Huo Budo glanced at the official and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, my lords, according to my humble opinion, this rebellion should be divided into two types. The first category is that innocent people are exploited by the government, thinking that the imperial court has taken away their houses and haystacks. Including the land and mu, a lot of taxes are levied on them, in order to arouse the people's uprising. These people must be appeased as the main, and the extermination as a supplement. After clarifying the matter, they will disperse. late." The

emperor nodded.

"The second category is the local nobles who coerce the ignorant people and resist the government's decrees. For these people, we should teach them well, in this world, who has the final say - well, you might as well ask General Wu to worry about this journey. ." Huo Bu doubted.

Yuhou noticed that the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly bent, and the prince's complexion was slightly better.

General Wu frowned and said, "I'm going to bite the hard bones, Zisheng, what about you?"

Yuhou lowered his head and smiled, thinking how could the emperor find his own adopted son for such an offense.

Huo Budo replied leisurely: "I have been gentle and gentle since I was young, and I have a soft heart. I should use the words of a saint to educate the people who have been kept in the dark." The

fourth prince took a step back, touched his face, and exclaimed: "Are you gentle? Back then, he had a cheap mouth and talked a few words about the past of the Huo Ling family, and someone had his jaw dropped.

The second prince touched the scar on the back of his head and murmured, "Well, you are kind and gentle."

Huo Budo turned his face away, pretending he didn't know it.

In the end, the emperor concluded: "It is still necessary to suppress and use both. If the rebels disperse on their own, I don't care too much. If they continue to be stubborn, once the leader of the rebel army is found, the whole family will migrate to the northern part of Bingzhou or the southern part of Yangzhou. First, these two prefectures are vast and sparsely populated, so they can make a living, and secondly, they can cut off the connection with their origin, and the rebellion will disappear." As soon as the

expert made a move, he knew whether there was any. The emperor said it nicely, but in fact, this plan is extremely old-fashioned.

In the final analysis, this time the rebellion is not for personal honor or shame, but for the interests of the family. Find out which family supports the rebellion and directly uproot the family from the local area and move it to another place.

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a few officials who had just had their necks slammed down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible! Since ancient times, scholars have been inseparable from their homeland and cherished the grave. If the soil moves far away, the property and goods are lost, and the customs are not used, the soil and water are inconvenient, and it is like destroying the family and destroying the family!" The

emperor's face was kind: "Aiqing's words are serious, and the government will give them land after the migration, how can it be called destroying the family. From From today onwards, if someone sincerely

repents and accepts their sins, there is no need for the family to move, and if they do not repent, they might as well think about it in another place—I have made up my mind, and all the ministers don't need to say more!" As usual, Gong took this as a gossip and told his sister, Shao Shang was deeply moved: "Fortunately, our family made a fortune late, the field population is not very large, and we are not afraid of investigation."

After passing through the courtyard, Shao Shang walked along the lush green to the waterside pavilion . Beside him, seeing the maids coming and going back and forth carrying the octagonal lacquered wood food containers and fruit wine buttermilk and other things in and out, she asked with a smile, "Is the eldest mother all well, can I go outside today to blow air?

" He smiled and said: "The old lady is tired of being locked in the house, and she has been clamoring to come out to breathe for the past few days. It just so happened that the old lady Wan also came today, so the lady will set up a family dinner in this water pavilion. Young lady, if you are willing to go there. Having fun together, the adults and the lady will definitely be happy."

Shao Shang smiled without answering, approached from the back of the water pavilion, and made gestures to tell the surrounding maids not to report. She stood behind the pillar and asked Ah Li and the others to hide aside, listening to Yan Yan laughing in the waterside pavilion -

"...Ama really, since you are all well, of course your son has to go back!" Cheng Zhi With an anxious expression on his face, "Now there are rebellions everywhere, as a county magistrate, my son must always perform his duties faithfully!"

Cheng Shi sighed with emotion: "Alas, it is impossible to say that the third brother is lucky. There is no disaster, he can always hide. Kai... eh, have you heard about the magistrate of Li County?"

Mrs. Wan opened her eyes slightly, "Is that the magistrate who surrendered to the chaotic army? Didn't he kill himself by drinking pigeons?"

"Exactly . Alas, the county magistrate was also pitiful. There were so many people around him. The chaotic army outside the city was like a tide. Sent to jail."

Cheng Shi sighed: "Many local officials have encountered this kind of thing. The imperial army retreated, and the chaotic army returned immediately. They couldn't resist, either death or surrender, and there was no third way. Azhina area is now two counties. You are in charge , even if you can't resist the surrender, the imperial court will not care about the two petty officials, Ah Zhi is really lucky!"

Cheng's mother touched her palm and rejoiced: "Blessed by the gods from all directions, Ah Zhi has a great life, and the death is auspicious... ...Bah, bah, I won't even encounter difficulties... I want to tell you, the time when I was born was good, the colorful clouds in the sky, sometimes like a dragon, sometimes like a tiger..."

"Mother, this kind of You can't talk nonsense, since ancient times, only when emperors and generals came to the world have the signs of heaven..." Cheng Yong frowned.

Cheng Shaogong muttered: "Not necessarily."

Cheng's mother said displeased: "What's wrong with my family!"

"Yes, yes, maybe the third uncle can also be a general..." Wan Song is afraid that the world will not chaos.

Qiqi wondered: "Can the third uncle lead the army to fight? Why haven't I heard... eh..."

Yin Yan'e smiled and pinched her a few times in the case.

"Qiqi is right." Mrs. Sang said with a smile, "Don't talk about your third uncle leading the army to fight, if you ride a horse for a long time, your back will be sore and your legs will hurt. This time he is going home from the prefect of prefecture. The rebellion suddenly started, and it is fortunate that the prefect of the county knows the military affairs, if there is an emergency, this is the third Shangguan who died in office of your three uncles."

"The third one?!" Wan Songhe Qiqi is unbelievable.

Cheng Shaogong began to touch the hexagram in his sleeve, and wanted to give his uncle a divination.

"Yeah. Shangguan is always a hero, and your uncle escaped from death. I didn't escape either. Once I caught typhoid fever, and once I broke a leg. Your uncle didn't even break the oily skin." This time we have to find an excuse again."

Everyone in the waterside laughed and wished Cheng Zhi good luck in his life. Cheng Cha's stomach bulged, and she smiled at the shy Ban Jia, hoping that the future child would also be able to do this. like luck.

Only Mother Cheng was very dissatisfied, and asked Mrs. Sang: "What do you mean, you are not happy that your man is not dead, are you waiting for remarriage? Azhi's fortune is in the first place, it is the time of my birth..."

"What time? It's a good family banquet, don't find it unhappy." Seeing that Cheng's mother was about to show her power again, Mrs. Wan said solemnly, "I think Shunhua is right, although we have a clear conscience, but there will inevitably be rumors about Ah Zhisheng. They have a fate that is greedy for life and fear of death. Cheng Xiaowei, Yuan Yi, when Zigu and Shunhua go back, they will bring them more chapters that can fight well in battle, and help calm the chaos on the road

. Hajime replied with a smile: "Auntie is thoughtful, and the younger generation is ashamed."

"Go back? What are you going to go back to when there is chaos outside! Ah Zhi, don't leave, I will be an official later, this official will not be done! With your brother, Just find a good place to be the county magistrate in the future, just stay at home now!" Mother Cheng said in a panic.

Cheng Chengwen said: "I'm afraid it's not right for my mother..."

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what do you know, shut up for me..." Mother Cheng yelled at the second son.

Cheng Cheng quietly retreated, and Mrs. Qing Li held his hand several times in the case, and he smiled gratefully in return.

Cheng Zhi shouted: "Second brother is right, mother don't make trouble. I am an official of the imperial court, how can I only take care of myself, besides, does my mother think that the imperial court is a liquor store run by the eldest brother, and she can do whatever she wants! "

Why not! Even if your brother is inconvenient, isn't there that powerful Huohou? Don't let people come in when they come back next time..."

Before they finished speaking, Cheng Xiao and his wife had already sunk. complexion.

"I used to think that Shaoshang refused to pay attention to you for so many years. It was too cruel." Mrs. Wan shook her head and said, "Now it seems that she is the only one who can read people's hearts when the two together - it's all up to this day, You are still immortal!"

Mother Cheng seemed to be a little afraid of Mrs. Wan, and murmured: "I've already regretted it. At the beginning, I was fascinated by the ghosts, listening to the slut of Ge Shi, thinking about taking care of the son and the bride all day long, and then I wasted the curl..." Immediately, she refused to accept, "But isn't she good later, the handsome son who came to propose marriage has never stopped, and our family has held three engagement banquets!"

"Mother!" Cheng Shi yelled, "Don't Which pot can't be opened and lifted!"

"Okay!" Mother Cheng's eardrums buzzed, begging for mercy, "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong! Heaven is above, if I can do it again, I will be fine. Wait, let her reunite with you! This is absolutely true, if there is a half-truth, I will go to hell after death!" To

the old woman, this vow was very sincere.

Shao Shang chuckled silently behind the corridor.

"Since the eldest mother is healed, don't mention the immortality." Cheng Yong said patiently, "Fortunately, the Queen Mother Xuan passed away, but the eldest mother has recovered. In the future, the eldest mother will take good care of her body, and the children and grandchildren will compare themselves with each other. I'm happy with everything."

"My parents and grandchildren can talk." Mother Cheng smiled.

Mrs. Wan snorted coldly: "Since you won't be dead for a while, I'll take the golden nanmu coffin back - I'll take it as if you want to use it first, it really is a disaster for thousands of years."

"Yes, yes . "..." Cheng Zhi responded casually.

Cheng's mother was furious: "Shuzi, you say I'm a scourge?!"

"No, no, my mother can live for a thousand years!" Cheng Zhi said quickly.

There was a roar of laughter in the water pavilion.

"It's done, don't scold me, I really know I'm wrong. In the future, you can marry anyone you want, whether you marry or not. Anyway, the family can support her. I have left a message, and I will be behind , I've saved up all the gold, silver, and silk for decades, and she has someone to fall back on even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life - if you don't believe me, ask Hu!

Cheng's mother loves money like her life, but she didn't know that the Empress Dowager Xuan rewarded the servants of the Shaoshang Manor early, so that she could have no worries for her life. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw her pained face.

Shao Shang shook his head and slowly backed out, his heart suddenly relieved.

The author has something to say: This is how I understand Dutianling, and replacing it with modern times is like a world with no purchase restrictions and no real estate tax. As long as you have money, you can buy the best places in the best areas of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Houses and even large plots of land.

So, those who got rich first, those who have a lot of money, can hoard houses as much as they want, buy dozens or even hundreds of houses, and live leisurely; From the perspective of Adam Smith's free market economy, this is not wrong. However, we all know now that European and American countries have taken the lead in abandoning this theory, intervening in economic and The market, for example, who is who... I won't talk about everyone, don't talk about it...

And the meaning of the Tiantian Ling, you have to occupy a lot of houses, a lot of land, ok, either pay the property tax or develop the land, you can't do it Occupy does not contribute to the country.

This sounds good at first glance, but there are also individual cases. For example, an old couple's eight houses were all acquired from demolition, and they did not have a lot of cash themselves. For example, Xiaoming inherited ten houses, and he had no money either. Once they need to pay property tax, it is equivalent to forcing them to sell a few houses before they can pay the money.

The idea of ​​Amei's government across the ocean is that as long as you live in a house, you must pay taxes. If you can't pay the house tax, it means that your income does not match the house you currently own, so you can buy it after selling it. A small house with a lower house tax is also very reasonable - so we often see in movies and TV dramas, a certain old house that has been lived in for decades has already paid off the loan, but it was taken away by the bank. Because they can't pay the tax.

This sounds too inhumane.

To a certain extent, Emperor Guangwu's order to control the fields is also of this kind of thinking, because he himself is a powerful family who supports the upper position, so he does not object to the wealthy family occupying land and population, but the land and population you occupy must be known to the country, and add it. The above requirements, such as taxation, corvée, and quantitative caps. If your wealthy family can afford this price, ok, that's fine, but you can't quietly hide the land and population from the state, and do your duty to the state. Over time, you'll become a country of your own, so what else is there to do with the imperial court? .

I don't know if this is right or not, just a personal opinion.
