Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 25 Keqing, advanced relationship

[Relationship: Righteous Sister (can be re-selected)]

what is this?
Why did this thing pop up all of a sudden?

Qin Zhong was in a daze for a moment, before he had time to check the details.

Emperor Longtai had already interrupted his meditation.

"Jingqing thinks that Sichuan and Guangdong will implement the implementation of the "Ten Ding" into the mu, what issues need to be paid attention to?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhong immediately changed his posture and crossed his legs to think carefully.

It is an important reform of the tax and service system in the late feudal society.

It abolished the poll tax, allowing laborers to have greater personal freedom, which is conducive to social and economic development.

The simplification of taxation rules also reduces the possibility of arbitrary tax increases by the government.

but,

Dividing a small apartment into an acre has the same limitations that belong exclusively to the feudal society.

Qin Zhong couldn't change this limitation, and he couldn't even tell anyone about it.

Except for limitations.

In the end, this kind of institutional reform could not solve class exploitation, nor could it eradicate the annexation of land by gentry and landlords.

There are many issues to be aware of.

For the rest, Qin Zhong shook his head and didn't want to talk about it.

He is mainly afraid of getting into trouble.

How could he not know that the best way at present is to cancel the gentry's privilege and exemption?
Gentlemen's privileges and exemptions refer to: the privileges and privileges of incumbent or retired officials and supervisors and students in taxation and labor.

Although officials and students are not free, but the impact is great.

Just like the same two people selling eggs, the price is ten yuan each,
The first person sells an egg to earn [-] Wen, and pays [-] Wen to the treasury;
The second person sells an egg and earns five cents, which is handed over to the treasury.

The final result is that the second person directly sells the eggs to the first person for six pennies, and earns one penny more without paying taxes.

The first person earns more money and pays less tax.

From now on, all eggs in the country will be handed over to him for sale, and the final rules will be determined by the first person.

As a result, many second people may not even earn five cents for the last egg.

But after saying this, will all officials and scholars be offended?
Moreover, the uncle Chen in front of him is already an official of the household department.

The Qin family is also among the gentlemen.

Qin Zhong wants to be a hero, but he doesn't want to be a hero who runs counter to the general trend.

otherwise……

There is no need to wait for Yangshou to be exhausted, one day he may be beheaded for stepping his left foot first.

As the controllers of power and the makers of the rules, Emperor Longtai didn't know that any system could not be perfect.

Seeing Qin Zhong shaking his head, he was a little disappointed.

He even had doubts in his heart, whether Qin Zhong was really smart or not.

Or was it just a coincidence that the blind cat met a dead mouse?

King Zhongshun asked strangely: "Could it be that this system is perfect?"

Qin Zhong still shook his head.

King Zhongshun asked again: "Where is the defect?"

"It's people! It's people who execute."

Qin Zhong replied.

He chose a few problems that were not itchy or painful, but very realistic.

"After the poll tax is abolished, it is only necessary to measure the land and check the acres. But what if the people who execute and monitor give a small amount to the gentry and a large amount to the common people? How will the taxed food from each province be transported to Shenjing City, and how much will it consume during the journey? What should we do if the number of people and land in each province is different?"

When Emperor Longtai and King Zhongshun heard this, they were indeed a little surprised.

A child who rarely goes out, who has never seen the darkness of the market, has this kind of cognition.

Thinking of how many scholars, who have read books all their lives, are so innocent and cute.

This child is a bit interesting.

People and land in each province are not a problem, but local supervision and grain transportation do need attention.

At this time, King Zhongshun also had a slight look at Qin Zhong's liking.

It's a pity that he only liked it a little, and Qin Zhong didn't even have a hint of an increase in his favorability in his mind.

King Zhongshun said with a smile: "Since Jingqing mentioned these problems, I think he has a countermeasure in mind."

What countermeasure did Qin Zhong have in mind.

He is nothing more than standing in the perspective of God and what he has learned in the history books and textbooks of his previous life.

It's not a clever way to say it, it was improved a little bit by the ancestors in the previous life when they faced problems.

Although he was enthusiastic, he felt that Uncle Chen was not authentic.

because……

Damn it, after talking to Uncle Chen and Fifth Master Chen for a long time, he didn't even increase his favorability at all.

and……

Uncle Chen wrote a letter to the emperor to get credit, and he didn't even bring a gift when he came to the door this time.

Not only is it stingy, it is simply very stingy.

stingy!

Qin Zhong originally thought it was to gain favorability, and if the favorability increased, he didn't care about the others.

He is not stupid, it is impossible to gain favorability by blindly giving without taking.

I haven't seen that goddess in my previous life, so I have a good impression of dog licking.

I don't have any favorability now, why don't I just leave it here as a free consultant?
Qin Zhong pouted, and said: "There is a way, but it is not yet mature, I have to continue to think about it."

He blinked at Uncle Chen and Fifth Master Chen.

what happened?

Officials of the household repayment department, don't you understand such a little etiquette?

How did you get in there?

I have already said it very clearly.

"Really?" King Zhongshun believed it was true, "Can you tell me first."

"I never say immature ideas." Qin Zhong shook his head and slowly lowered his head, looking like he was thinking.

At this moment, Emperor Longtai saw that it was tricky, and he was angry and laughed in his heart.

Emperor Longtai looked for Qin Zhong's teacher and father Qin Ye who had been checked by others.

The teacher is a dull old Confucian scholar who has been poor all his life.

Qin Ye was able to live so poorly while on duty in the Ministry of Industry, and he had been loyal and honest all his life.

Qin Zhong knew how to ask for benefits at a young age, but he didn't know who he learned it from.

Emperor Longtai said dumbfoundedly: "Jing Qing, just say, when the present reward comes down, how can I lose your share?"

Qin Zhong put one hand on his lap, propped his face sideways and thought.

It's not that he has made any great contributions, what rewards can be given to Uncle Chen today, it's just a worthless thing.

He might not be able to appreciate it yet.

It is said that the Ministry of Households is a place with a lot of money. Uncle Chen must have made a lot of money.

if……

Qin Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly remembered what Qin Keqing had been looking forward to.

My sister doesn't want to be an official herself?
Since this Uncle Chen can directly submit the book to the emperor, it should be easy for him to recommend it to himself.

Even if there is only one empty job!

Cheng Zhilang of the sixth rank doesn't think about it, but Cheng Shilang of the seventh rank, or Cong Shilang of the second rank can do it.

Qin Zhong sighed and shook his head: "Uncle Chen misunderstood, am I a greedy person."

"That's it?" Emperor Longtai stared at him and smiled.

Qin Zhong raised his head, and saw King Zhongshun flipping through some books in the corner of the kang table.

"That... can't be moved, don't flip around."

He hastily yelled, got up and snatched it back from the hands of King Zhongshun.

Not only that, but he also cleverly collected all the books on the kang table.

This move confuses Emperor Longtai.

It's just that King Zhongshun looked at Qin Zhong with a slightly different look. He politely apologized and asked, "What's written in it?"

"Didn't you read it?" Qin Zhong pouted.

This is the secret book of crossbreeding that he kept as an heirloom and has not yet finished writing.

King Zhongshun didn't mean it: "The words are not easy to read, I didn't understand it!"

"..."

Damn, I still think the word is ugly!
Affected by such a disturbance, Qin Zhong's answer became a little perfunctory.

The main reason is that he feels that these two people are not up to the mark.

He is not a licking dog who can only give.

Finally returned a bunch of what was there and what was not, but Qin Zhong's favorability did not increase at all.

"Dry!"

He doesn't know

When King Zhongshun left the Qin residence, he looked back and said meaningfully:

"This kid is a bit interesting. The content in that book is very...very special..."

……

In the Nuan Pavilion, Qin Zhong hummed secretly before hiding the book.

Qin Keqing walked out of the bedroom gracefully just now, her eyes were full of tenderness and joy.

When Qin Zhong saw it, his heart beat again, and his limbs moved secretly.

There is an urge to...
