    In the cell.

    Zhao Hao and his son tried to persuade him, but Xu Wei just didn¡¯t want to be released from prison.

    "Why don't you go out?" Zhao Hao asked helplessly: "What is so good about this prison that makes you miss it so much?"

    "I eat and sleep well here, no one disturbs me, and there are people who write novels for me to read." Xu Wei randomly moved the paintings on the bed to the table and lay down comfortably.  "It just updates too slowly."

    "Tell him to get out of here! I'm going to be driven to death by him!" An angry voice suddenly sounded from the next door.

    "Haha, just give up on this idea." Xu Wei sneered: "I won't go out until I see the finale."

    ¡°Hmph, with you here in one day, I can¡¯t finish writing!¡±

    "Bah, it's a waste of time"

    "What the hell is this?" Hua Zhongheng was confused and pointed to the next door.

    "That old gentleman has been staying next door because he was an official before and was not convicted." The cell leader quickly explained: "He talks about writing all day long, but he can't write many words in a month.  It¡¯s quite useless.¡±

    "What do you know? I carefully consider every word and take responsibility for my words!" The old man next door was so angry that he walked to the fence to protest.

    Zhao Haofang saw clearly that his beard and hair were disheveled and his eye sockets were dark, and he thought to himself that he would just write if he couldn't write it. What kind of situation was he forced into?

    What a pitiful person.

    "Hurry up and pull it down, the stories are ready-made, you just need to string them together." Xu Wei did not pity him at all, curling his lips and said: "What's so difficult about this? I can write 20,000 words a day!"

    "Do you know that you are just spewing water?!" the old man said angrily: "Yes, there are ready-made stories for reference, but the adaptation is not made up! You have ruined our traditional culture, and you want to apologize to the people, you know?!

    "This is also a Kuyin sect" Mr. Zhao whispered from the side.

    Zhao Hao walked to the table, found some pieces of manuscript paper from under Xu Wei's drawing paper, and picked them up to take a look.

    I saw it clearly written above, ¡®Chapter 42, the Great Sage worships the South China Sea diligently, and Guanyin binds the red child in charity¡¯!

    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh. No wonder it made Xu Wenchang not want to be released from prison. It turned out to be "Journey to the West"?

    ???????? Isn¡¯t that the old gentleman next door who is Zhang uh no, Wu Chengen?

    "I didn't expect that "Journey to the West" was only half written at this moment Mr. Zhao secretly thought, do you want to co-write it?

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just be a human being.

    He called Hua Zhongheng and asked in a low voice: "What did that old gentleman do?"

    "This?" Hua Zhongheng was a little confused. He didn't know who that person was yet, so he waved to the cell leader to come over and ask.

    The prison head quickly reminded in a low voice: "It's the Wu County Cheng from Changxing County, Huzhou Prefecture."

    "Oh, it's him." Hua Zhongheng suddenly realized.  This case was quite involved. Although he did not participate in the trial, he had a basic understanding of it.

    Then he explained to Zhao Hao:

    "This matter started from the year before last. Liu Zhongcheng, the governor of Zhejiang, implemented the 'Li Di Grain Recruitment Policy' throughout the province To put it simply, the local Li Chief and Chief Jia also served as the Grain Chief to collect grain for the court. But this method  To be honest, it¡¯s not smart. Because it will cause chaos in grain collection and may harm small households, it has caused quite a backlash in the local area.¡±

    Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s eyes lit up and he thought to himself, I¡¯ve heard this in class!

    ??~~

    Although Hai Rui and Zhang Zhixian have very different opinions, they both admit that "taxes" and "criminal names" are the top priorities of a county's government affairs.

    Yesterday, Hai Rui explained to him in detail that the current grain collection system is extremely unreasonable - the tax grain is not collected directly by the government, but the government divides it into several grain areas based on the amount of grain collected.  The large household that pays the most grain in each district takes turns serving as grain chief, responsible for the collection and transportation of grain.

    In the early days of the Republic of China, this was a good job that was both prestigious and prestigious, so big families were vying to be the grain chiefs.  But later, due to serious land annexation, a large number of acres of land were owned by officials and gentry who were exempt from tax.

    As a result, taxes fell entirely on the remaining farmers.  How can honest farmers afford to pay twice the tax for cultivating a piece of land?  Either he could follow his example and join the gentry's family as a slave, or he could flee with his family and become a refugee

    As a result, fewer and fewer people paid taxes, but the court still collected grain from the grain chief according to the original standards - as a result, the big households not only lost their profits, but had to repay money to make up for the gap in grain taxes.

    How could the big players suffer this loss?  They resorted to various methods to avoid being the grain chief.

    The Li Di grain requisition policy was launched due to their lobbying - instead the Li chief and the chief Jia concurrently served as the grain chief.In essence, it is a blame-shifting behavior in which large households blame small households.

    Because there are not many rich people who will take the thankless job of being the head of the lijiaand those who are the lijia and the head of the li are not well off, and they will go bankrupt if they are forced to become the head of the grain.

    ¡°But these village chiefs and armor chiefs have a long-standing reputation in rural villages. If we force the blame to be placed on them, there will definitely be a backlash.  By then the countryside will be in chaos and not even a grain of food will be harvested!

    ??~~

    "So Changxing Magistrate Gui Youguang took the lead in opposing this policy, and more than 20 magistrates and counties responded one after another. Liu Zhongcheng had a tough character and was unmoved. He strictly ordered the 'Lidi Grain Requisition'. As expected, Jiajing forty  Zhejiang's tax and grain collection for five years has only collected half of it"

    "Liu Zhongcheng was very angry, so he strictly ordered Gui Youguang, who was the leader of the investigation of the Chasi and Fenshou Roads. However, because of the fierce public opinion, the people attacked the governor's office, and in the end he just transferred Guizhi County away from the matter." Hua Zhongheng paused and said:

    "But Wu County Cheng, who led the people to cause trouble, was imprisoned for inciting civil unrest. The Zhejiang Procuratorate was worried about causing further trouble, so they cited the law and sent him to the Ministry of Punishment."

    "So, where is this case now?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

    "There's no movement." Hua Zhongheng said with a wry smile: "This matter was discussed by the court, and Liu Zhongcheng was quickly transferred. His 'Lidi grain requisition policy' was naturally invalidated. I heard that  Gui Youguang has been complaining about the injustice of Wu County Cheng, and built an earthen room and hid in it all day long, saying that he would go to jail with him"

    "The ministry has neither judged nor released, but this hot potato has been sitting here forever. I guess they want to wait until it cools down before talking about it." Hua Zhongheng said and suddenly laughed: "In fact, it has been almost two years.  It¡¯s already cold.¡±

    ¡°He was very aware of the negligence of duties in the Nanjing Criminal Department. It is estimated that the officials responsible for investigating the case probably forgot that such a person existed.

    "This is an opportunity." Zhao Hao said softly: "Let's see if we can help him along the way."

    "Not bad." Hua Zhongheng has been in the ministry for many years, so he certainly understands what Zhao Hao means.

    "It's just that he is a little strange. Does science still teach the bureaucracy?"

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao walked up to Xu Wenming and asked with a smile: "If I take the book writer out, will you follow?"

    "Then I'll definitely follow you." Xu Wei smiled and said, "Otherwise, where can I go to read the next chapter?"

    "Okay, you wait." Zhao Hao smiled confidently: "I will have two flowers today!"
