My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield - Chapter 224

[Chapter 221 Accidental Discovery]

Funing, where Ji Yuchen worked.

The people of the city were saddened, and many were in tears.

Since Ji Yuchen took office, the tax system has been rectified, which has led to a huge increase in the government’s income. In addition to turning it over to the imperial court, bridges and roads have been built, schools have been established, and medical centers have been built to provide free medical treatment for the elderly.

The government invested and led the people to reclaim wasteland and plant fruit trees, medicinal materials and food.

Open mines, build a processing department, teach people craftsmanship… The

government rents fishing boats, fishing nets and other tools to the people at low prices, allowing them to fish and catch shrimp…

Under his rule, Ji Yuchen, the government is no longer a high-ranking master. They are people who actually help people live a better life.

He didn’t directly send money to the people, but in the process, he didn’t know how many people’s lives became better

. After a period of time, the whole Funing has become prosperous.

All the people are striving for a better life.

Most people are grateful for his goodness.

Now, he is dead.

Funing was raining, under the gloomy sky, and in the drizzle, the people crowded in groups on the way out of the city.

Ji Yuchen’s coffin came out.

Several yamen, carrying a thin coffin.

This is what Ji Yuchen prepared for himself.

His relics are only a thin coffin, several ancient books, and some clothes.

Salaries were also donated by him.

People crowded on both sides of the road, weeping.

Since they can remember, Ji Yuchen has been the best parental official to them.

“Why? God just let Lord Ji go!”

“That’s right… Let’s get over the better…”

“Master Ji…”

Regardless of adults and children,

watching the coffin slowly leave the city, they all exude endless sadness… In the

imperial capital, Su Wen read the letter in his hand.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face. This kind of person is admirable. He said casually, “This old guy has found the wrong person. Where can I find an heir for him?”

Su Changqing said with a smile: ” It’s up to you, by the way, there is one more thing, Ji Yuchen’s family encountered mountain bandits on the way to Funing to be mourned, and the whole family died, no one survived.”

Su Wen’s fists clenched a little bit, Ji Yuchen went to Funing this time, deliberately not Bring family.

He left his family in Jiangzhou.

As a result…

Su Wen stared at Su Changqing and asked seriously: “Su Xiang, what are you going to do with this matter?” Su

Changqing didn’t answer, got up and took out a stack of memorials and letters.

Putting it next to Su Wen, he said, “This is the memorial that Ji Yuchen sent during this period, and there are some correspondence.”

“Jiangning’s taxes are more than three times higher than before, so the government has the money to do those beneficial things. The people’s business.”

“As for the common people, life is indeed better, especially those at the bottom haha.”

“He also made improvements and speculations about the next step with those old friends.”

Su Wen shook his head slightly: “Su Xiang, I’m asking, how do you think Ji Yuchen’s death should be handled? I’m not interested in how much he has changed!”

Su Changqing felt the anger hidden in Su Wen’s words.

But he still took out another memorial without hesitation and placed it in front of Su Wen.

“Your Majesty Zhu Cui, Ji Yuchen has made great contributions to the country, and died of illness in a foreign country, the whole country is very sad, and he will be awarded the title of Hou Zhongxin.”

Su Changqing said: “Since ancient times, civil officials have not been awarded lords, but after death, they are not included in this list. Ji Yuchen can be regarded as the name behind him.”

“Ha ha ha!” Su Wen laughed, his smile was very sad.

He captures the key points in Zhu Critic.

Died?

In other words, was Emperor Zhou who did not want the matter to be pursued further?

“Why? Can you tell me why?” Su Wen asked.

Su Changqing said indifferently: “Perhaps because Your Majesty is unwilling to tear up your face with some noble families and nobles at this time!”

“The matter of Funing seems to be a little bit, but it is actually a test of His Majesty. He is testing, which step Ji Yuchen has taken? This will make these people bounce back!” Su Changqing said calmly: “Especially now, the war in northern Xinjiang is very tight! Your Majesty needs the support of those nobles and dignitaries even more!”

“To put it bluntly, how many masters can there be among the common people? Aristocratic nobles

, How many masters are there among the powerful?”

“Take a step back, even if there are masters among the common people, then they are not ordinary people and will soon be absorbed into the powerful class.”

Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and said, “Ji Yuchen is It is against the most powerful class in the entire Great Zhou! Up to the court, down to the local area, I don’t know how many people want him to die! This power, even His Majesty, cannot be ignored.”

“Do you think His Majesty will defend the powerful or not?

Protect the people? You must know that it is you and me, both powerful and powerful! Those who are willing to share profits will always be in the minority.”

Su Changqing said coldly: “So, from the very beginning, your policy was doomed to fail, because when the In

the end, Ji Yuchen loses His Majesty’s support, and he has only one fate!”

“His Majesty is just taking Ji Yuchen as a test, and that’s about it. His Majesty will promote the current tax system across the country, but it will not further deepen the tax system. Reform.”

Listening to Su Changqing’s words, he recalled the original Zhou Emperor.

Su Wen suddenly understood why Emperor Zhou did not seem to be too concerned about that strategy.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of really attacking the nobles of the aristocratic family.

Just, re-allocate the benefits.

As for Ji Yuchen, that ruler was the ruler. If the ruler couldn’t bear to fold it, it was almost the same.

“Then why do you want to kill Ji Yuchen’s family?” Su Wen squeezed the question out of his teeth.

Su Changqing shook his head and said, “It’s not necessarily His Majesty’s will to kill his whole family. Maybe it’s just a matter of some powerful family venting their anger. This kind of thing doesn’t have to be investigated at all.

” Life can be much better.” Su Changqing said.

Su Wen felt cold all over.

He suddenly discovered that the emperor who was in the deep palace and protected him a lot was so ruthless.

He thought of Yan Ze’s words.

Calmly disgusting.

Yes, from his direct abandonment of the northern border cities to this matter, Su Wen felt it very clearly.

Zhou Di was so indifferent.

In his eyes, everyone is a tool.

Both have value.

Nothing more than high or low value.

Su Wen looked at Su Changqing and said solemnly, “What about Ji Yuchen? Is his death just like that?” Su

Changqing didn’t speak.

But Su Wen knew, what if it didn’t count?

Royal pen Zhu batch!

Who will check?

Who will take care of it?

Su Wen came out of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Dazedly walking down the street.

He suddenly thought of Su Changqing’s joke.

“Leaving Zhou State? Going to Da Chu?”

“Is Old Su joking, or is he giving me another choice?” As he was

walking, Su Wen suddenly saw a group of people gathered together.

He leaned over and saw a scholar, standing on a high platform, talking eloquently: “Ji Yuchen’s behavior is completely to steal the interests of the people and establish a reputation for himself. He took the money of the rich and went to help the poor, and so on. For the rich, what is the difference between robbery and robbery? Isn’t the rich people not the common people?”

This is the literary debate platform in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Fuck your mother!” Su Wen rushed up in a single step.

He shouted angrily, “What kind of thing are you, and you dare to say nonsense here?”

If he heard this in normal times, Su Wen might laugh it off, but at this time, Su Wen couldn’t bear it no matter what.

The man looked at Su Wen and said, “Egret Academy, Zhao Jingzhi!”

“Who are you?”

Su Wen sneered: “Who do you care about me? Just listen to me when I talk to you!”

Zhao Jingyi Flicking his sleeves, he said disdainfully, “It turns out that he is someone who doesn’t even dare to mention his name! I’m ashamed to talk to you!”

Su Wen slapped him and said, “Did I let you debate? I want you to listen!”

“How do you hit people?”

“That’s right! What’s the point of hitting people when you come up?”

”

Get out of here!” He

shouted: “Shut up for me!”

After he shouted loudly, he looked at the scholar and asked, “Let me ask you, what are you doing in the court?

”

“Is that ideal, to let all the people have a good life?”

Zhao Jingzhi replied: “Yes! But so what? Could it be possible to exploit the rich and help the poor?”

Su Wen said coldly: ” Let me ask you again, are those wealthy people from the Great Zhou Dynasty?”

“Of course they are.”

Su Wen said solemnly: “Then I will tell you! Every citizen must bear corresponding responsibilities, whether you like it or not, You

have to bear it!”

“For example, the people protect their families and the country! If you think like you, everyone is afraid of death, why should you let them go to the battlefield? Why don’t you go to the northern front? Serving corvée?”

Zhao Jingzhi protested: “I’m a scholar! I’m a scholar! I’m famous! Dazhou has a discipline system, and a scholar doesn’t need to serve corvée!”

Su Wen spat at the past: “Bah! Do you remember the discipline now? Ji Yuchen’s tax system, approved by His Majesty, is the imperial court’s regulations. What’s the problem with abiding by it? When you ask for money, I will exploit the rich and make you serve corvée. I am a scholar? There are many scholars? The rich people are the same as the poor people, you must be the same as the common people, then you should go to the battlefield!”

Su Wen sternly said, “It is their responsibility to make them pay more taxes due to the regulations of the imperial court! All the people of the Zhou Dynasty must abide by them. You If it is said that all classes have equal responsibilities, then you should let the officials of the imperial court go to the front line with big swords, and come back to govern the country after they survive, right? Everyone has to be equal, right? Go on!”

“You are being abusive! How can you do this, the lords of the court?”

Su Wen said strangely: “Oh! Oh! It can’t be like this now? Could it be that you were born to be a high-ranking adult, but you are poor to the people of Li. Don’t you ask whether the

people live or die?”

“The rich have the responsibility of the rich, the poor have the responsibility of the poor, the scholar has the responsibility of the scholar, and the officials have the responsibility of the officials! This is what should be divided, and Ji Yuchen is in office, building roads, Can the rich go away? Open a school, can the children of the rich go to it? Build a medical clinic to treat the elderly for free, but have the poor and the rich ever been divided?”

Su Wen said solemnly: “The poor are already poor, but they also pay taxes as much. The rich have more money and live a prosperous life, so they should take on more responsibilities. Did you read the book of sages and sages? You are an official. Not to take on more family and country responsibilities, is it to make money? People like you are not worthy of being an official all your life!”

In fact, Su Wen also knows that most people become officials, to a large extent, to get ahead and make money

Benefits, this is actually understandable, but if there is no sense of responsibility or compassion, then this official is not as good as it is.

Originally, the people below thought that Su Wen was a mess.

But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered loudly.

In fact, a function of the tax system to a large extent is to adjust the gap between the rich and the poor so that more people can live better.

Because this is the conclusion that comes after the highly developed society.

But in this era, in most people’s thinking, the tax system is still mainly made to maintain the operation of the imperial court.

This is the concept gap created by different times.

To put it bluntly, before Su Wen crossed over, the tax system of almost all countries was the same. People with more income paid more taxes and assumed more social responsibilities.

Many tax evaders, to put it bluntly, are extremely selfish and have no responsibility.

I just want to enjoy the benefits, but I don’t want to pay at all.

That Zhao Jingzhi was stunned by what Su Wen said.

How could he speak to Su Wen?

What’s more, his remarks were short-sighted.

After the refutation, Su Wen didn’t want to stay any longer, stepped down quickly and squeezed out the crowd.

went out.

Su Wen really couldn’t bear to be slandered when everyone died.

However, he just walked not far when someone stopped Su Wen.

It was a maid, and she said softly, “Sir, my lady, please tell me.”

Huh?

Su Wen was taken aback, please tell me?

Unfortunately, Su Wen was in a bit of a mood, and said solemnly: “I’m sorry, I’m not interested!”

After speaking, she was about to leave, and the maid hurried up and said in a hurry, “Sir, you must go, my lady. After speaking, if I can’t take you, I will be punished. You were on the stage just now, with such righteous words, you can’t watch me as a little girl punished, right?”

Su Wen laughed.

However, he kept going and said, “Your young lady punishes you, you can just go back and support.”

Su Wencai didn’t believe her.

Just then, a man came quickly.

When he came to Su Wen, he bowed and said, “My lady is upstairs next to it, please don’t reject it, sir!”

Su Wen was helpless, isn’t this TM a dog skin plaster?

But he didn’t want to reveal his cultivation, so he thought about it.

They followed the two to the restaurant next to them.

“The top floor is covered by my lady, and the gentleman can go up by himself.” The

two obviously did not intend to follow.

Su Wen went upstairs by himself.

On the top floor, surrounded by fences, it is extremely open.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and a woman in blue clothes stood on the edge of the fence, looking downstairs.

Hearing Su Wen coming up, she turned her head and said with a smile, “This gentleman, I just listened to your wonderful talk, it’s very exciting, please come up and talk about it.”

The woman was fair-skinned, her long black hair was loose, and her eyebrows were beautiful.

Bend, a pair of eyes are clear and bright, and the facial features are exquisite, which can be called the best beauty.

Su Wen raised his brows, he knew this guy!

It is the fifth princess, Zhao Xuanxuan, who is known as the first talented woman in Kyoto.

But he can’t reveal his identity.

She could only pretend not to know each other, cupped her hands and said, “Miss, I don’t know why you called me here. What’s the matter?”

Zhao Xuanxuan stretched out her hand slightly and said, “Sir, please sit down, and we will talk to each other slowly.”

Su Wen turned the page.

He rolled his eyes, sat down, and said, “If you have something to say, not everyone has the same food and clothing as the young lady, and I have to be trapped by my livelihood.”

Zhao Xuanxuan shook her head slightly, stretched out her hand, and there was an extra piece of gold in her hand. , She shook her palm slightly, and the gold flew straight onto Su Wen’s table.

Zhao Xuanxuan smiled and said, “Sir, don’t be impatient, the little girl is not malicious.”

Su Wen picked up the gold ingot, deliberately looked suspiciously at Zhao Xuanxuan, rubbed her clothes again, and took a bite. Zhanyan smiled and said, “Thank you, Miss.”

Zhao Xuanxuan asked curiously, “Mr. knows me?”

Su Wen denied without hesitation: “I don’t know!”

She laughed: “Then why does Mister make a pretentious gesture to provoke my heart? Disgusted?”

Uh… I didn’t expect this guy to be too stupid.

But Su Wen naturally wouldn’t admit it.

“My name is Li Qingxuan, I’m very happy to see Mr. today!” Zhao Xuanxuan said.

Su Wen sneered inwardly, he is still lying to me here, if it weren’t for your father, how could I be in such a bad mood?

“Then what?”

Su Wen’s straightforwardness made Zhao Xuanxuan a little confused. All along, everyone who saw her was basically polite. How could there be such a disrespectful one?

This is a good word, even Su Wen, during the several meetings with her, he was not too rude.

“I just admire Mr.’s views and talents, and I want to ask Mr. Ji Yuchen to discuss the tax system of this senior Ji Yuchen.” Zhao Xuanxuan said with a frown.

Su Wen pouted and said, “What’s there to discuss? Everyone is dead, so that’s it.”

Zhao Xuanxuan shook her head and said, “No, sir, I don’t know anything about this old gentleman’s tax system, not only these… .”

“Huh?”

Su Wen was taken aback.

It stands to reason that when the memorial was sent to Emperor Zhou, no one else should know about it, right?

His eyes narrowed slightly.

How did Zhao Xuanxuan know?

I just heard Zhao Xuanxuan say: “By chance, I have heard people say that this tax system is just the tip of the iceberg, once it is fully implemented, it will be a strategy to shake the country’s roots. ”

Su Wen’s mind changed sharply.

Who said this?

Zhou Di?

Su Wen patiently calmed down, shook his head and said, “I don’t know the whole picture, but from the current point of view, I think this is a policy that benefits the country and the people!”

Zhao Xuanxuan smiled proudly, “So please listen to me, sir.”

Then , the little girl stopped talking, as if you came to ask me!

Su Wen said helplessly: “In that case, please ask Miss Li to teach me!”

Zhao Xuanxuan began to explain.

Su Wen listened quietly.

As Su Wen thought, this Zhao Xuanxuan even told all the tax system one by one, and she had to admire this woman’s good memory.

That Ji Yuchen’s excerpts were almost word for word.

After she finished speaking, she frowned and said, “Do you think this is a strategy to shake the country?”

Su Wen looked at Zhao Xuanxuan and asked with a smile, “Why do you say this strategy will shake the country?”

Zhao Xuanxuan did not hide it, and said truthfully: “This strategy seems to be subtle, but it is actually affecting the interests of all the nobles, officials, and aristocrats in Dazhou. These talents are the real national capital of Dazhou. Even today’s sages may not be able to suppress them. At that time, there will be officials in the court who are slack at work, and there are wealthy families outside the country who are making troubles in other places

. After taking a sigh of relief, he said slowly: “You are right! This tactic is to move the interests of these people.”

“But if it is a tactic to overthrow the country, it is actually an alarmist. First of all, you must know , there are many methods, not to mention other things, this time Ji Lao used Funing as a pilot to promote, the tax system has been stabilized, and some effects have been produced.”

“If we start here, it will take a few years to gradually implement the nationwide implementation. , do you think the force of the rebound will be great?”

Looking at Zhao Xuanxuan’s somewhat confused eyes, Su Wen asked and answered, “Definitely not.”

“Even if there are some rebounds, as long as Your Majesty is firm enough, all the rebounds will be suppressed! ”

In a few more years… After stabilization, choose the pilot program again, deepen the implementation of tax reform, and implement it little by little. Do you think the powerful people in Dazhou will make trouble at the same time? Obviously impossible! Because of the policy No matter how it is implemented, these people are still the privileged class of our Dazhou. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not risk the whole family to lose their heads and lose everything they have to resist His Majesty.”

“But the life of ordinary people will be much better, as long as With patience, it will take decades or hundreds of years to slowly implement these tax systems. When I reach the peak, the people will be prosperous and the foundation will be solid, so I will definitely become the most powerful country in the world.”

Zhao Xuanxuan frowned, obviously caught in a tangle.

“Is it really like this?”

Su Wen looked at Zhao Xuanxuan and said, “It’s like this, but I’m still very curious. How did Miss find out about such a secret? Please tell me bluntly.”

Zhao Xuanxuan laughed Get up: “I don’t even know your name, how can I tell you bluntly?”

“Su Daqiang!” Su Wen said casually.

Zhao Xuanxuan said with a smile, “Then I don’t know where you are now?”

“Viscount Wuwei, Su Wen’s house, servant!”

Su Wen just wanted to know, where on earth did this servant know the content of the memorial.

Zhao Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, and murmured, “Sir, such a talented man, he is actually just a servant?”

Su Wen was observing Zhao Xuanxuan’s expression, and he deliberately said that he was Su Wen’s servant.

The reason is very simple. If Zhao Xuanxuan is reading the original memorial, it has Su Wen’s name on it, and Zhao Xuanxuan’s expression will definitely change.

But obviously, Zhao Xuanxuan didn’t change her expression.

“Not the original?” Su Wen made a judgment.

He didn’t lose his expression and smiled: “What’s wrong with the servants? My adults are suave, handsome and mighty, and they are famous in Kyoto. No matter where I go out, others don’t take a high look. Just now on stage, I just didn’t Report it to the house, if I tell the house, the kid will be scared to pee!”

“And my adults are generous, the treatment in the house is good, life is leisurely, and you can read books, even if you give it to a county magistrate. !”

Su Wen boasted and continued to ask: “Please tell me, miss, where did you know the full text of the tax system?”

Zhao Xuanxuan smiled and said, “This matter is really confidential, I hope you will forgive me for the inconvenience. tell!”
