My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 196 Small talk
"Xu'er, you're crazy," Huang Ang shouted at Huang Xu, "Hurry up and get out of here, don't make trouble anymore."

But Huang Xu turned a deaf ear to his father's yelling, just raised his neck and looked at Zhou Xing fixedly.

Zhou Xing's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, and he said coldly, "What crime did Guo Gui commit?"

"Guo Gui harms the husband and dominates the wife and daughter. I hope the lord will see clearly and make decisions for the common people."

Luo Shang, the 56-year-old governor of Yizhou, was playing black and white chess with a man in his early 30s in the back garden.This man was called Yan Shi, and he was a refugee who had fled from Yongzhou along with Li Xiang.Their Yan family is the surname of Fufeng County, Yongzhou. His father used to be the subordinate of Fufeng King Huangfujun who was the governor of Yongliang and Qinzhou.

Yan Shi didn't know Li Xiang at first.One of them is from Yongzhou and the other is from Qinzhou.On the way to Hanzhong, more than 100 households led by Yan Shi met Li Xiang who was also going to Hanzhong.As soon as the two met, they became close friends.Yan Shi admires Li Xiang's generosity and justice from the bottom of his heart, and Li Xiang also admires Yan Shi's resourcefulness from the bottom of his heart.And they didn't stay long in Hanzhong, Yan Shi suggested that Li Xiang lead everyone across Jiange Pass to Shu.

At that time, the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty issued an order that the refugees from Yong and Qin prefectures were only limited to begging in Hanzhong and could not pass through Jiange Pass.But this did not trouble Yan Shi.After Li Fu, the special envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate the situation of the refugees, arrived in Hanzhong, Yan Shi found Li Fu immediately and gave Li Fu a large amount of property. support.Ever since, the imperial court issued another order to allow the refugees to cross the Jiange Pass and enter the land of Shu.

When crossing the Jiange Pass, when he saw the steep mountains on both sides, and the narrow mountain road for only a few people to pass through, Li Xiang sighed: "There is such a dangerous pass, the empress of the Shu Han was bound face-to-face by people." He is really mediocre." After hearing this, Yan Shi made up his mind to assist Li Xiang.As for defeating Liu Fu Changjun's army and counter-killing Zhao Min who wanted to separate Yizhou, it was all because of Yan Shi's suggestion.

"Your Majesty," Yan Shi said to Li Xiang a few days ago in the camp of refugees in Mianzhu, "King Qi monopolizes the government by evacuating relatives. This move is like a pile of eggs, and it is bound to not last long. From Yan's point of view, there will be great chaos in China. And King Hejian, who is the military governor of Yongqin and Yongzhou, is bound to be involved. Yizhou is remote, and the wars in Central China will not reach here anyway. What's more, there is Jiange Jiameng, which is more than enough to protect himself. Therefore, , since those of us have left our homeland and come to this Land of Abundance through untold hardships, no matter what, we cannot go back."

"I know what you said, but the imperial court has already ordered you and me to wait for the refugees to return home. The new governor of Yizhou, Luo Hou, is smart and capable, and Zhao Min is by no means comparable to him. How can you and I still fight against the powerful imperial court? No?" Li Xiang said worriedly.

"It's all about human effort." Yan Shi said: "King Qi's position is not stable, not only you and I can see it, but everyone with a discerning eye in the world can see it. Luo Hou is no exception. Yan is not talented, and he is willing to go to Chen Yao alone to test Luo Hou Koufeng, let's see what this Luo Hou is planning. If so, it won't be too late for us to deal with it."

After Yan Shi arrived at Chen Yao, he sent out generous gifts, and finally got the opportunity to meet Luo Shang this time.

Luo Shang naturally knew the purpose of Yan Shi's visit, after the meeting, he didn't talk about the refugees, but just recounted the past with Yan Shi.Chatting here and there, asking questions about Yong and Qin customs, and chatting about what he has seen and heard along the way.Both of them are learned men, they talked for a long time, Luo Shang was very happy, so he invited Yan Shi to play a few games.

How could Yan Shi refuse the invitation from the majestic governor of a state? The two sides were at a loss in the beginning, but in the middle of the game, the black and white sides were still evenly matched.The battle between the two reached a point where Luo Shang picked up a black piece and pondered for a long time before he dropped this piece. This move immediately connected the middle game with the two black pieces below. .

Yan Shi laughed, and the fader conceded defeat: "By taking advantage of Fengyun, Master Jun's move is so perfect in seconds, Xiaosheng admires it."

How could Luo Shang fail to hear the meaning of Yan Shi's words, and said with a calm smile: "It's easy to leverage in the game, but it's not easy outside the game."

Hearing this, Yan Shi was overjoyed, and said respectfully, "I don't know what kind of external force Mr. Shijun wants to borrow? But there is an order, even if we and the refugees go through fire and water, we will swear to die and go forward."

Luo Shang nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "It's just that the imperial court has ordered you to wait to leave, why?"

"This matter is not difficult." Yan Shi immediately said without hesitation: "From a logical point of view, we refugees should still belong to the management of the willing territory, not the management of Yizhou and Liangzhou. The adults only need to put up a form and say that the refugees hope that the original local government can do it. Sending people over to greet him, wouldn't this hot potato be handed over to someone else?"

"Hahahaha," Luo Shang laughed loudly when he heard Yan Shi's plan, "I heard that Fufeng Yan Shi is very resourceful, and seeing him today is really better than being famous."

At this moment, a person came in from the outside, and it was seen that this person had a face like a crown jade, a tall and straight figure, and was handsome and extraordinary, but it was not that Qiao Deng, who else.

"My son-in-law, Qiao Deng, has met his father-in-law." Qiao Deng came in and saluted Luo Shang first.He originally fell in love with Wang Tianyun at Jiange Pass that day, but he didn't think that Wang Tianyun was already a famous woman, so the loss in his heart can be imagined.But he didn't want the new governor Luo Shang who just came here to take a fancy to him and marry his youngest daughter to him. These days are not happy.

"Deng'er, what's the matter?" Luo Shang asked Qiao Deng, stroking his beard after watching Yan Shi leave.

"Father-in-law, please take a look," Qiao Deng said while presenting the document in his hand to Luo Shang, "The Bodao Tinghou who killed Shen Xiu made another big news."

"Why, after running schools, building medicine and promoting commerce, what's the big move this Marquis Gao Ting made?" Luo Shang smiled.A few days ago, he had heard the reports of Zhou Xing's events in Bodao from the people below, and he was very interested in this Tinghou who killed Shen Xiu.

"Hehe," Qiao Deng couldn't tell how he felt about Zhou Xing now, but he was still slightly pleased when he saw him make a fool of himself, "This Tinghou tried two cases, and he almost made a big mistake. , two people should be sentenced to death in public. And these two, one is a monk, and the other is actually a right-hand man given to him by the Jinyang royal family. He is a small Tinghou, how can he be qualified to sentence people to death. It’s ignorant! This is a document sent by the prefect of Qianwei County for your lord’s approval.”

"Oh." Luo Shang listened to Jordan's words and carefully read the events described in the document.For him who has experienced countless ups and downs, things like Hu E and Guo Gui are really ordinary and can't arouse his anger or interest.

Luo Shang's father and grandfather were both famous ministers of Shu Shang.When the Shu merchants perished, his father waited until the edict of surrender from the empress of the Shu merchants arrived, and then led the people to surrender to the then Great Zhou.And Luo Shang himself has been famous since he was a child. When the Great Jin conquered Wu, Wang Rong hired Luo Shang to join the army.After defeating Wu, he made a long history of Qi Wang Huangfuyou, and then let him go to the prefectures and counties, with extremely rich experience.

He was appointed governor of Yizhou this time. On the surface, he wanted to solve the problem of refugees in Yizhou and Liangzhou. In fact, Qi Wang Huangfu Jiong also gave him a secret edict, asking him to implement it in Yizhou again. His father once wanted to implement it. a measure of .

Re-measure the Lingtian and restore the Great Yin Well Field System!

The content of this measure is very simple: in strict accordance with the laws of the Jin Dynasty, a male monk is entitled to ten acres of spiritual land, and a female monk is entitled to seven acres of spiritual land.Marquis of Guannei enjoy [-] mu of spiritual land, Marquis of Ting enjoy [-] mu, Marquis of Township enjoy [-] mu, Marquis of County [-] mu, Duke of the county [-] mu, and Prince of the county [-] mu.As for the surplus lingtian after the allocation, it will be managed by the prefectures and counties in accordance with the old well field system of the Great Yin.

As the long history of Qi Wang Huangfuyou, Luo Shang personally participated in this reform plan. However, Huangfuyou has not been able to fulfill his wish to become the auxiliary government.These initiatives have been put on hold.

In Luo Shang's view, this move will completely change the disordered situation since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.There is no longer any problem of land annexation. Everyone in the world has land for cultivators. When there are few spiritual fields in prefectures and counties, more taxes will be collected; when there are many spiritual fields, less taxes will be collected.In this way, it is just around the corner to reproduce the 800-year prosperity of the Great Yin Dynasty.

It's just that Jinwu Emperor Huangfuyan was afraid that King Qi Huangfuyou's prestige would be too high after implementing these measures, so he kept suppressing them and insisted on letting King Qi return to the fief of Qi.Huangfu Yan's wishful thinking was to implement this policy when his grandson Huangfu Yu came to power, so that the prestige of the Huangfu family could be further improved.

Of course, anyone who knows about these secret reforms is also aware of the pressure and resistance to implement this policy.There are many spiritual fields in various places, and it is commonplace to conceal and underreport.

The reason why Luo Shang did not order the immediate repatriation of the immigrants was precisely because of this problem, and he wanted to use the external force of the refugees.

It's just that it's really hard to find the person who promotes it.

Until he saw the documents about Zhou Xing sent by Jordan.

"It's really hard to find a place after breaking through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it." Luo Shang frowned, and said happily in his heart: "This selfish Zhou Xing has no worries in Yizhou, and he has a famous name. That's the one I'm looking for!"

The key to politics is to win people.Luo Shang has been inactive because he has not found a suitable candidate.

In Luo Shang's mind, this policy is beneficial to the country and the people. As long as it can be implemented, he will definitely be written heavily in the history of the future and will be recited by future generations.Thinking of this, he, who is over 50 years old, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his chest, and couldn't help chanting the poem that was widely circulated by Emperor Wu of Zhou in a low voice:
Lao Ji Fuping, ambition of thousands of miles.

The martyrs are young and strong.

"Deng'er, go down and tell everyone that you will come to the mansion on time tomorrow to discuss matters."

Over the past few days, Jordan's mood has been like a roller coaster. From the enthusiasm at the beginning, to the past few days, his heart is full of helplessness and depression.

Ever since Luo Shang convened the staff of the Yizhou Department to explain his plan, there was an immediate uproar.Even if Luo Shang took out the emperor's edict, it still couldn't stop the opposition from everyone.

"My lord, in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, Wang Ji did such a thing to destroy his life and reputation. Your lord, you must refrain." Lu Qiang, who worked in Yizhou, objected at first.

"In those days, no matter whether Wang Dian was good or bad, all the land was equal, and there was no distinction between high and low, and there was no rule of reward and punishment." Qi Wang Huangfuyou and others studied Wang Dian's reform in detail, and naturally responded to it in detail.Qiao Deng was recruited by Luo Shang as his son-in-law precisely because he particularly appreciated Luo Shang's restructuring.At this time, it was inconvenient for Luo Shang to speak, so naturally he was the one to verbally fight against the group of soldiers. "In the new measures, different land titles for different titles are aimed at this disadvantage. Through this difference, monks all over the world will know that only those who have made meritorious service to the court can receive additional rewards. It is not the current one inherited from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Lu system. This Lu system only encourages everyone to practice for themselves, not to encourage everyone to contribute to the court."

"In the past, Dong Zi said that those who live on salary will not compete with the people for profit. If you change a private field into a well field, isn't it a competition with the people for profit?" From the looks of it, it was Yizhou who was engaged in Malone.

"It's absurd for Ma to do this." Jordan retorted confidently: "It is precisely those wealthy families who occupy a large number of spiritual lands that compete with the people. After the surplus spiritual fields become mine fields, the proceeds are still used for the states and counties. , how can we compete with the people for profit?"

"But every family's spiritual field is the private property inherited from their ancestors. If the state and county implement this policy, what is the difference from robbers?" Ma Long continued to say with a blushing face.

"Every family's private property?" Qiao Deng sneered a few times and said, "Dare to ask Ma Zong, those spiritual fields in your family have been owned by your Ma family since ancient times? Your Ma family ancestors were from Xiangyang, Jingzhou. The Lord Shang came to Shu. Since your grandfather, you have only been here for three generations, and you already have no less than a thousand acres of spiritual land. Dare to ask Ma Zong, is this thousands of acres of spiritual land inherited from your ancestors? "

The face of Ma Long, who was directly asked by Qiao Deng, was even more flushed, he hesitated for a while and then said angrily: "Your Qiao family's Lingtian is missing? You still call my Ma family."

"This is exactly one of the things I want to say." Jordan stood proudly in a green robe and said loudly on the spot: "This reform must be started by someone. If that is the case, please start with our Qiao family."

After Jordan said that in high spirits, tragedy struck.When he led a group of people to his hometown in Shu County, he was halfway there when his father who heard the news blocked him.

"Today, you must either retreat and resign from this position immediately, or step over my dead body." Jordan's father, Qiao Lian, said to Jordan with a sword on his neck, "Deng'er, you This is the way to go to the former Shang Chaocuo. Instead of our Qiao family being in trouble, it is better for me to die in front of you today."

Jordan naturally didn't dare to let his father commit suicide in front of him. Amidst the laughter of the audience, he reluctantly returned to Chen Yao.

"If Zhou Xing were to deal with this matter, what method would he adopt?" Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly thought of Zhou Xing who had chatted with him several times.
