Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 67 Very Good
"My lords, rest your anger, please listen to the officer. Your lords?"

The eyes of the two of them were a little red when they were arguing, how could they hear Yu Fei's words.

Yu Fei had no choice but to say "offended".With a lift and a push, the two of them were sent back to their seats to calm down.

After the two returned to their seats, their eyes were reddish, their chests heaved and they were obviously very angry.

"Old Jiao Ge calmed down, and what Li Ge said is not unreasonable. The people have been exhausted in the past few years, and the army has been out of the fortress. There are a lot of civilians who need to be mobilized. If the corvee is started again, the people may complain."

Jiao Fang's eyes widened, yes!You big-eyed guy also betrayed?
"It's not easy to pay corvee, how about hiring with money and food?"

The last sentence was for Li Dongyang.

"Hmph, it's not that easy. The money and food seem to be a lot, but how much is the court's annual expenditure? Yu Shilang knows better than the old man, if he takes the employment, will the remaining money and food be enough for His Majesty to go out and transfer for a month?"

Yu Fei nodded and said:

"What Mr. Li Ge said is very true, but the issue of money and food is well known to the lower officials. This little prince cannot ignore it. Otherwise, if he is allowed to rule all the Mongolian tribes, it will be a great disaster. What do you think, Mr. Ge?"

Li Dongyang sighed:

"It's not easy to unify the grassland. Even if you need to send troops and send a large general, why do you need His Majesty to go there personally? I don't want to quarrel with you, let's discuss this matter."

Seeing that the quarrel was temporarily over, Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly spoke first:

"Senior brother, you see, a lot of food and salaries were owed last year. Shouldn't it be made up this year when the finances are abundant? It is really difficult for me, brother."

Hearing that Yang Yiqing wanted the lion to open his mouth, Li Dongyang's expression changed instantly:

"No, don't even think about it."

It was another quarrel, Yu Fei was the first to experience this kind of year-end summary, and he couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw it. This Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing are brothers and sisters, and the quarrel turned out to be even worse than with Jiao Fang.

After quarreling from morning to night, a consensus was finally reached. In fact, there is only one thing to sum up, money is needed, especially after this year's finances are a little richer, the ministries need money even more fiercely. If it is not for Li Dongyang's pressure, alone Yu Fei really might not be able to deal with this group of old fritters.

After Yu Fei's family went to Henan, the original small courtyard naturally did not continue to be rented, and now Yu Fei, as a member of the third rank, also enjoys the benefits of the court and has a special mansion.

After returning home, Yu Fei came to the bedroom after changing into the official robes and saw Lan Fenghuang telling a story to his son. Xiao Heer was just two and a half years old, and he was at his most naughty. stool.

Yu Fei picked up his son, and the little guy turned his back to Yu Fei, he was startled and said "Ah", after seeing Yu Fei, he called out "Daddy" in a childish voice.

Lan Fenghuang lay on the couch and watched the father and son play.

After playing with his son for a while and watching the little guy yawn, Yu Fei called his mother to take the little guy to sleep.

"After New Year's Day, I'm going to go to the south of the Yangtze River. This time, I may offend many people. You take He'er and call your parents to live in Huashan for a while."

Although he knew that Yu Fei's martial arts were terrifyingly high, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible under heaven, but hearing what he said was so solemn, Lan Fenghuang couldn't help but trembled in his heart and said:

"You have to be careful, don't be brave, He'er and I are waiting for you in Huashan."

Yu Fei hugged Lan Fenghuang lightly, stroked her hair and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, even if there are thousands of troops, your husband and I will leave whenever we want."

"Well what are you doing?"

"Of course it's to add a younger sibling to He'er."

"what"

Just after New Year's Day ended, Yu Fei was also promoted. He was ordered to go south for official business as the servant of the household department and the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After receiving the decree, Yu Fei took five hundred eagle cavalry and five hundred brocade guards to the south of the Yangtze River that day.

The purpose of Yu Fei going to Jiangnan this time is very clear. It is to settle the debts owed over the years. Those who should be exempted, those who should be killed, and those who should be ransacked, must use thunder to break the invisible Jiangnan. big net.

At this time, although Jiangnan had not yet developed to the point where officials later took the lead in resisting taxes, the water in it was unfathomable.

From the third year of Hongzhi to the seventh year of Zhengde, Jiangnan not only defaults on taxes every year, but also expects to collect [-]% of the taxes, often half of which is considered a good year.

Not only that, but even the official land of the imperial court was in arrears every year. It was the most outrageous in the 18th year of Hongzhi, and the payment of money and food was not even [-]%.

And the officials in the south of the Yangtze River also complained every year, and various floods and floods never stopped.

Among them, the most popular one is Nanjing Six.

After more than ten days of trekking, Yu Fei and others finally arrived in Nanjing. The city was full of flowers, and the wealthy businessmen who stayed in the brothel had just woken up, and were looking for a place to eat.

The sound of peddling can be heard everywhere, watching this scene, Yu Fei chuckled lightly, and whispered some instructions to Yang Xu beside him, Yang Xu nodded, shouted, and led Jin Yiwei to ride to Nanjing Hubu and go.

500 people rode horses and galloped, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the city. There were even a few people who looked like young masters. After Yang Xu and others walked away, they spit at the mouth and scolded "dog legs", attracting the surrounding people Shout out to you.

Yu Fei ignored these people and brought the rest of them to the mansion of Wei Guogong Xu Yu, who was defending Nanjing.

This old Duke was born in Jingtai Nian. He is over [-] this year. He has served four generations of emperors. The Duke of the State went out of the mountain to serve as the defense of Nanjing, and wanted to suppress the evil wind in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yu Fei sent the letter of worship, and after a while, an old man with a hunchback came out with the support of several young maidservants.

When Yu Fei saw his appearance, he sighed in his heart, this old Duke can hardly even walk, how can he suppress the evil wind in the south of the Yangtze River?No wonder it doesn't have much effect in any year.

The south is much richer than the north. As a result, after the north had a slightly bumper harvest this year, the taxes in the south were suppressed. Of the [-] million yuan in taxes this year, the north contributed almost [-] million yuan. some.

After Yu Fei's ceremony, Xu Chu took Yu Fei into the mansion, and saw that the Nanjing Garrison Mansion was really luxurious and beautiful, and there were young girls of fifteen or sixteen years old along the way, but in just a cup of tea time, Yu Fei saw hundreds of maids like this.

After seeing such a scene, Yu Fei's heart sank. You must know that Xu Chu had a reputation for frugality when he was in the capital.

As a result, it's only been a year, and with such luxury, my family's plan to use his power is probably going to fail.

These Jiangnan wealthy merchants are really powerful.

Knowing that the old Duke had probably been corrupted, Yu Fei gave up hope, and left the Garrison Mansion after a while with him as if he was visiting from a younger generation.

Yu Fei left the mansion, looked at the clear sky, and smiled.

"In such deep water, it is possible to capture dragons, very good, very good."
