A poor son 78

Lin Jishi looked at Xiao Zhu, "Cousin... You can't get involved with this matter. Let's remember the relationship between the Zhu family. If it doesn't work, it's okay to betroth the noble immortal to us. The Lin family will really soar into the sky in the future..."

Xiao Zhu looked at Lin Jishi: "I think so too, it's my brother, that's how I think so too. I want to kiss her." Her expression was a little embarrassed, "But he fell in love with Dalang..."

"No!" Lin Jishi shook his head, "Guixian is spoiled and cannot be put together with his younger brother and sister. In our family, we just think that there is an extra daughter. It is absolutely not that I don't like Guixian, but the key is that you compare Guixian with Niu Niu... You can still see it? Besides, if the Lin family follows a step further in the future, the title will definitely be on Dalang. Guixian is not like the mistress of the big family. The second son of the small family may be able to match..." He said, then coughed and looked at Xiao Zhu awkwardly. He really didn't intend to belittle the girl of the Zhu family. In fact, if it weren't for repaying the favor of the Zhu family, he wouldn't be able to say that he would ask his only Miaomiao to marry Zhu Guixian.

Xiao Zhu didn't care. In her heart, her son was naturally worth it. In addition, the Lin family is now rising, so she can't say anything about marriage. She smiled bitterly, "Don't say you don't want it, even Guixian and her mother are not willing."

Lin Jishi's face was not good, "Who did she like?"

The corners of Xiao Zhu's mouth moved, "It was not that I didn't think about giving away someone in the past..."

Lin Jishi's face turned red, "No! It's absolutely not. How can we be so handsome?"

"Don't be anxious?" Xiao Zhu looked at Lin Jishi and whispered: "Now, I don't know why, that girl Guixian changed her mind and said she fell in love with the young master in white..."

Young Master in White?

"Yin Sanlang?" Lin Jishi was stunned. What's the fucking look?

Xiao Zhu shook her head and sighed, "If it weren't for today's incident, I would have stopped you. But today, Niu Niu is obviously unhappy. I'll go there again tomorrow and be a matchmaker. Since she has taken a fancy to Yin Sanlang, she will fulfill her. Anyway, the Fan family that Yin Sanlang married is unknown to life and death. Even if she is alive, she has such a father, and she still has passed by in this troubled world. You can't be the wife anymore. Marry her and ask Niu Niu to let her go."

The next day, Lin Yutong heard that Xiao Zhu came again in the wind and rain, and it was a little strange.

She raised her smile and asked someone to pick up Xiao Zhu in.

"Come on ginger tea quickly." Lin Yutong personally handed over the hot veil, "It's just a matter of asking the girl to say something."

Xiao Zhu patted Lin Yutong, "I think you are annoyed by your uncle."

Lin Yutong smiled: "I have been fucking this time after so many years. Why are you still taking it to your heart?"

Xiao Zhu looked at Lin Yutong's smiling face and felt a little complicated. People change quickly. This girl who changes her face just by saying that she changes her face really doesn't look like Niu Niu.

Xiao Zhu sighed, "It's not your fault. This is not true to the Zhu family. I'm here today to be a matchmaker. I heard that Sanlang from the Yin family still has no wife?"

Lin Yutong was stunned. What he said to the Fourth Master that day was a joke. How could he really just hold others in front of him? This is not only Sanlang's business, but also related to the girl's lifelong affairs.

Xiao Zhu said helplessly: "It's not me who is an aunt... she likes herself."

"I like you?" Lin Yutong frowned, "I have only been back for a few days, where have I seen you?"

Xiao Zhu pursed her lips: "It was the day when Guixian just came back. She saw it in the teahouse."

But at that time, there was a girl sitting in front of Sanlang. Everyone liked him like this? What's the look of this?

Lin Yutong smiled dryly, "It's really strange that this happens every year. I have to write down this matter. I have to discuss it with my family first, and also ask Saburo what he meant."

This is what it should be. After all, Lin Yutong still has her parents-in-law.

Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. She did not have a cold face or beat her proposal back. She could not tell anything wrong with her attitude. It was as if she had explained herself that the married girl was just having a tantrum with her family.

After seeing off Xiao Zhu, Lin Yutong went to the outer courtyard. In the past few days, she rarely ran to the outer courtyard. She really wanted to take a break.

He Mao was poking at the door of the room like a benchmark.

When I saw Lin Yutong, I hurriedly smiled and bowed, "Madam..."

Lin Yutong raised her chin, "Who is inside?"

He Mao whispered: "A few gentlemen are here."

Lin Yutong took two steps forward and heard Li Jishan's voice say, "...The most important thing now is to live with the people."

Rest with people's livelihood?

Of course, this is not wrong. This should be a discussion on light taxes and taxes.

Thinking of this, she pushed the door open and went in. Several gentlemen got up and greeted him.

The Fourth Master ordered Wu Chunlai, "Add a chair, and my wife will listen together."

Lin Yutong nodded and sat aside, "But discuss taxes again?"

The Fourth Master nodded and looked at Liu Shuquan: "What do you think Mr. Qingtian thinks?"

Liu Shuquan bowed, "My subordinates thought that light taxes and taxes at this time would not only improve people's strength, but more importantly, they could win people's hearts."

The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the court is in the south now, and he has added another tribute?"

"Yes!" Liu Shuquan frowned and said, "I heard that the taxes this autumn have been received five years later."

"So many?" Lin Yutong was surprised, "Isn't this killing the chicken to get eggs and fishing out of the lake?"

Liu Shuquan nodded, "What the wife said is not bad. Not that is the case. This year, the court has established many more names. For example, poultry tax, capita tax, road tax, water tax, fishing tax, and a total of more than 30 items. This is not the filial piety silver that needs to be paid for during the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. There are also the palace's birthdays, the Thousand Years of the Years, and the birthdays of all concubines, which are all filial to every household. If these are enough to overwhelm the people, then during the process of collecting taxes, corrupt officials exploited them from them, which is enough to make the people leave their homes and go into exile."

"Why is this?" Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask. She really didn't know how powerful it was.

Liu Shuquan sighed: "Take the birthday next year as an example, the court has issued an order, and every household must be filial to 50 cents. But when the prefecture is in charge, the government will order to collect 100 cents. When the county and towns arrive, it will become 150 cents. When the yamen runners come to the door, it will become 200 cents. But in the end, less than one-tenth of the treasury can receive the national treasury. The rest will be exploited layer by layer."

Lin Yutong frowned, "There is no honest official in this court?"

Liu Shuquan could only smile bitterly.

Li Jishan took over the conversation, "Now, the court does not give officials any salary. If they are not corrupt, officials will even starve to death. What can they do if they are not corrupt?"

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master, and the Fourth Master nodded, "That's the truth." He raised his head, "So, the Northland may be about to usher in another wave of refugees."

"Ah!" Lin Yutong felt that the burden on her shoulders pressed her almost breathless.

Then I heard from the Fourth Master: "So, the next thing you have to do is count the population and the fields. Then count the number of barren lands that have been desolate for years. Let's discuss a proper way."

Several gentlemen quickly got up and quickly said yes.

Lin Yutong thought that the Fourth Master might have to divide the land. Lin Yutong asked this when the only two of them were left in the house.

The Fourth Master did not nod or shook his head, "This cannot be interrupted in one go. For example, if you divide the land into everyone, then the problem will come. Everyone is busy with their own acre of three parts of the land, what should those landlords do? Now, no matter whether they are officials, nobles, or merchants, who do not know that the land is the foundation. Who cultivates the land under these people's names? And so on, can those who are slaves own land? Should they share it with them? To appease the proletarians, those who have proprietary people will cause trouble. Now, when it is the most difficult time, stability is necessary. You used to learn economic laws, and from feudal society to the model of later generations, it is possible to get it done in one step?" The Fourth Master waved his hand, "Impossible. How can both parties take into account the fundamentals."

Lin Yutong's mind suddenly calmed down, "I still don't get involved in this matter. But there is one thing I think I should pay attention to."

The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong, "You said."

Lin Yutong poured a cup of tea for the Fourth Master, "I consulted Mr. Lu for some things last time. In the letter, Mr. Lu mentioned it, saying that the court had not conducted a yellow calendar for three consecutive years."

The Fourth Master was stunned, "There is still this?"

Lin Yutong nodded, "Not! Do you think this is ridiculous? You don't even want days and solar terms."

The almanac, also known as the imperial calendar, is formulated by the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, which guides the people's agricultural production and schedule. It includes astronomical weather, changes of seasons, and the seasons of the farming season. There are also some good and bad things. Although not all scientific, it is crucial in people's lives. Just like modern people do not have a calendar, what do you follow in this day?

"This matter is important, the top is important." The Fourth Master sighed, "I will write a letter to Mr. Lu to see if I can invite the Imperial Heaven Superintendent. The Taishi Academy will hurry up and compile the calendar for next year."

Of course, this almanac has to be carried out in advance. This way, it will not delay next year's work. Now it has been a few months since the full calculations, so I am really nervous.

Lin Yutong sighed and then whispered: "As soon as the imperial calendar was promulgated, it was no different from announcing the opposition to the court."

Only the emperor can promulgate the almanac, and the dates are all selected on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

So, to some extent, it has special significance.
