The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 437 New Deal Pilot
Xie Shen himself has no interest in hunting.But since the Son of Heaven has his destiny, he has no reason not to obey.

Anyway, the hunting is done according to the regulations, and nothing will go wrong, so just treat it as an outing.

After answering a few words with Emperor Zhengde, Xie Shen left the Leopard Room and returned to the mansion.

After leaving the capital for three or four months, returning home this time feels a little strange.

In the study, Wang Shouren was teaching "Spring and Autumn" to Xie Xu himself. Seeing Xie Shen came back, he put down his book and greeted him.

He said with a smile on his cheek, "Siming, you are back. If you don't come back, I will be so worried."

"Brother Shou, what's the matter? Is this kid disobedient again?"

"That's not true. Da Lang is smart and eager to learn, but recently he has become obsessed with reading "The Story of the Stone". Brother Yu is afraid that it will affect his reading and interpretation of scriptures."

Xie Shen's heart sank and said: "It's really outrageous to watch "The Story of the Stone" at such a young age."

After finishing speaking, he glared at Xie Xu and said, "Do you remember what Mr. Wang said? You can't read "The Story of the Stone" now. If you want to watch it, you have to wait until you become a Jinshi."

Xie Xu looked at Xie Shen aggrieved, but he didn't dare to argue, so he just nodded sullenly.

Wang Shouren said softly, "But he can't be blamed entirely. This "Story of the Stone" is really well written."

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, the things in this world are really incomprehensible.He wrote "Story of the Stone" just to earn the first pot of gold and improve the life of his family. Unexpectedly, his son became a fan of the book inadvertently.

In the Ming Dynasty, when imperial examinations were used to select scholars, no fame meant no status.As the eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Xu has a lot of courage on his shoulders.Although Xie Shen didn't require him to get a certain rank in the examination, the worst thing he had to do was Jinshi and rank.

Only in this way can one be born with a correct background and be able to become a high-ranking official above the fifth rank.

Otherwise, if you are just a Juren, or if you enter an official under the shadow, you will stop at the fifth rank at most.

Xie Shen explained some reasoning to his son again, and told him to go back to study.

"Brother Shou, this time I returned to Yuyao, but I have gained a lot."

Seeing Xie Shen's satisfied face, Wang Shouren was a little surprised.

"Why, Siming, did you meet Xiangrui?"

The corner of Xie Shen's mouth twitched: "It's really auspicious. I saw a Frangji merchant in Yuyao. He brought something called potatoes, which can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food. I bought it This potato has been planted in my own house. This time when I return to Beijing, I will bring back all the potatoes I planted. Brother Shou, do you want to taste it?"

Wang Shouren asked suspiciously: "Is there such a rare thing?"

"That's it, I'll give Brother Shou ten catties of potatoes, and Brother Shou asks the cook to cut them into shreds and fry them to eat. It's just hot and sour."

Taking out ten catties of potatoes at once, Xie Shen was still in pain.

That is to say, to Wang Shouren, if it were someone else, he would definitely not give so much.

"Brother Yu, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

Although I don't know what a potato is, but seeing Xie Shen's excited look, it must have an unusual taste.

Wang Shouren's favorite thing on weekdays is to taste delicious food. Now that he has the opportunity to try new things, he will not miss it.

"Let's not talk about that, Siming, if you are not in the capital these days, you must not know that your new policy has turned the court upside down."

Wang Shouren suddenly remembered something, changed the subject abruptly, and said solemnly.

Xie Shen sighed and said, "The reform of the New Deal has never been immune to resistance. This is within my expectation."

Xie Shen's reform model is more thorough than Zhang Juzheng's whipping method, because it involves business tax reform.

This is equivalent to attacking the landlord class and big businessmen at the same time. If you don't resist, you will be damned.

But Xie Shen has already made up his mind, no matter how big the resistance is, he will stick to it to the end.At worst, he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

If you are in a high position but can't do practical things, it doesn't matter if you don't do such an official.

"However, His Majesty is still very supportive of Siming. After your memorial was handed over to the Ministry and the court, most officials opposed it, but His Majesty still decided to try it in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xie Shen was a little excited.

It takes time for any policy to be fully implemented.The shortest period is two or three years, and the longest period is more than ten years.

What's more, such national policies as land reform and business tax reform.

As far as the officials and gentry are concerned, they themselves are big landlords.It is perfectly normal for them to oppose the New Deal.

The support of Emperor Zhengde is very important, but it is obviously not enough.Even the emperor could not compete with the entire civil servant class.That's why the emperor only conducted a trial in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.If the effect is not good, it is estimated that the New Deal will be stillborn.

But even so, Xie Shen was quite touched.Emperor Zhengde was able to do this, which was already giving him a lot of face.

"The highest tax in the world belongs to Nanzhili. The highest tax in Nanzhili belongs to Su Song."

Wang Shouren paused and said, "Your Majesty chose Songjiang Mansion to try out the new policy. It seems that he wants to make a move."

"Your Majesty supports it, we have to work hard."

Xie Shen sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't leave my body now, otherwise I really want to go to Songjiang Mansion to do something for the implementation of the new policy."

Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "Siming, you are talking nonsense again. Without your support in this court, what's the use of the people below even if they are doing well?"

"In short, the candidate for the magistrate of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture must be contested."

Xie Shen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of killing intent.

If he didn't want to watch Daming step by step into the abyss, he had to use strong medicine, so Xie Shen did not hesitate to gamble his future.

As a pilot for the implementation of the new policy, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture is the first to fight for - this county magistrate must be his.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Shen slapped his head and said, "Why am I so stupid, this candidate is far away in the sky and right in front of us."

Wang Shouren was stunned and said, "Siming, who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's you, Shouren. Huating County is a big county. Although the county magistrate is also a seventh-rank official, he is no worse than the magistrates in other places. Shouren has been working in Beijing since he was a Jinshi. I'm afraid you are not satisfied?"

Wang Shouren waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I can't."

"What's wrong, brother Shou is full of righteousness, and I can only rest assured that such important tasks are in the hands of brother Shou. I will do my best to fight for this magistrate of Huating County."

"."

Wang Shouren looked helpless, and swallowed the words again.

"Since that's the case, if His Majesty really grants me the county magistrate of Huating, Brother Yu will give it a try." After a short pause, Wang Shouren continued: "In your words, Siming, it's '*******,* ******'what."

　ps: The second is later, Lao Kun tries to write it out before dinner.
