Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Retreat to the Garden of Thoughts, Wanhe Pine Wind Hall.

    Elder Xu Ge was helped by his son to sit down and drank tea again. After a long while, he sighed and said, "These two items are going to break the foundation of my Xu family."

    "Yes, father." Xu Yingshen said in agreement: "Once the method of equalizing land and grain is implemented, those who dedicated their official land to our family will definitely feel that it is not worthwhile."

    "The key lies in the 'one whip method'." Xu Fan saw it more clearly than he did, and said gloomily: "Songjiang Mansion will compile the 'Tiger Head and Rat Tail Book' soon. By then, whether it is memorizing it for our family  Those who work in the fields are still working as slaves for our family, I¡¯m afraid they will all feel at a loss.¡±

    "That's natural. Whoever has more fields in his name will be ranked first among the tigers. Not only will he pay more Ding Yin and Ding Yin, but he will also pay more tax money." Xu Ying nodded and said:

    "Those slaves, according to the new law, do not have to serve the government, so why should they show filial piety to us? They must also want to deregister themselves and draw a clear line with us."

    "Father, what should we do?" Xu Fan was really panicked, and his voice was trembling.  Although he has experienced a lot of things, it was all under the premise that his father could protect him from the wind and rain.  Now it seems that dad can no longer cover it up.  Xu Fan's weak nature was finally exposed.

    "Alas" Mr. Xu Ge closed his eyes, frowning and thinking hard.  Although he has experienced more dangerous situations than this, he has experienced them many times.  But he is already old, his mind is not as bright as it used to be, and he is no longer in charge.

    I really don¡¯t have that condition, so I can handle it with ease

    The two prodigal sons held their breath for fear of disturbing their father's hard thinking.

    You can hear a pin drop in Wanhe Songfeng Hall for a while.

    ??~~

    Xu Jie understood that although Hai Rui's Yingtian New Deal was not specifically designed for him, due to various reasons, all the pressure came to him.

    First of all, he is the largest landowner in Jiangnan, and all the powerful families and wealthy households are looking to see if he can withstand it.

    ¡° Moreover, there is Lin Run¡¯s case weighing on his head It is destined that Hai Rui will attack the Xu family.

    ¡°Now that I think about it, Hai Rui went crazy and went public in Suzhou to clear the way for the big drama after the new year.

    As soon as the New Year came, he used these two new policies to turn things around, pitting the Xu family against the majority of Songjiang elders, thus achieving the purpose of removing salary from the bottom of the cauldron.

    "Hai Zhongcheng has laid out such a painstaking plan. He must have thunderous momentum when he strikes" Mr. Xu Ge suddenly laughed at himself: "I don't know if my old arms and legs can still withstand it."

    "Yes, of course I can!" the two sons hurriedly said, "Father must withstand it!"

    "Humph" Xu Jie glanced at the two of them coldly, regretting giving birth to such a cheating thing.

    "Father, we can't sit still and wait for death, we must save ourselves quickly!" Xu Fan couldn't care less about his father's disgusted eyes.

    "Arrange a killer to kill Hai Rui as well?" Xu Jie said sarcastically.

    "Uh" Even Xu Ying knew that this was impossible.  If the governor who came to handle Lin Run's case had another problem, the court would directly send a large army to exterminate the Xu family.

    "For today's plan, there is only one word 'forbearance'." Everyone is dependent on paths. When Xu Ge reaches a critical moment, he will still use his "tortoise magic" at the bottom of the box.

    "Hai Rui wants to punish us, so let him punish us. If he wants to withdraw the land, we will withdraw it. If he wants to collect more taxes, we will pay it." Mr. Xu Ge had obviously figured it out, and he said calmly:  "He can't just keep pulling hair out of this sheep, right? Sooner or later he will have to find trouble with others. When the public is angry, someone will naturally deal with him. As long as we keep the green hills, we won't have to worry about running out of firewood in the future."

    "Ah" Xu Fan and Xu Yingxin said, isn't this surrender?  Both of them are unyielding masters, let alone aggrieved.

    "Ah what?" Xu Jie looked at the two dead children coldly and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to come forward for the next thing, I will do it myself."

    "Father, what are we doing?" Xu Fan and Xu Ying asked hurriedly.

    "No more room." Xu Jie ordered Xu Dadao in a deep voice: "From today on, the two of them will live in Tuisi Garden. They are not allowed to go out for a step, so as not to let the government find excuses to take it away, which will be difficult then."

    "Father, just let the third child be grounded!" Xu Fan said in shock: "In such a precarious time, my son has to contribute to the family!"

    "Go and explain to the government that he is from the Laosan faction and it has nothing to do with you?" Xu Jie's ability to choke people is truly second to none.

    "My son knows." Xu Fan lowered his head in frustration, pulling Xu Ying back who was about to say something else.

    Watching the figures of the two cheating things, they disappeared through the hall door.? Xu Jie's face was also full of frustration.

    He regretted it. He should have had a good talk with Lin Run at the beginning At least he was sure that Lin Run could reach a compromise.

    It¡¯s better now, it¡¯s the one-minded Haigangfeng.

    He is no longer sure that he can keep his wisdom for the rest of his life.  Not to mention the family property and son

    We can only do our best and obey fate.

    ??~~

    Almost at the same time, the people of Songjiang also saw the announcement from the prefecture's Yamen.

    They spent a day to learn from others what the ¡®One Whip Method¡¯ and ¡®Equalizing Fields and Grain¡¯ were really about.

    After another day, those who had taken advantage of the loopholes realized that they had suffered a lot under the New Deal.

    Those people spent another day muttering together, and after some ideological struggle, they could no longer sit still.

    Early on the morning of the fourth day, those family members who had been backing the Xu family came to the Xu mansion in Nanchan Temple with gifts, and begged the gentlemen to take the land back.

    Because as soon as the first lunar month comes, the yamen will compile the Tiger Head and Rat Tail Book.

    " These relatives and the slaves who later took refuge in the family and changed their surnames gave the Xu family tens of thousands of acres of land, while some had thousands of acres of land.  If you don't fall behind in the designated one, you will be listed in the tiger's head book.

    This is like your relatives borrowing 10 million in your family¡¯s name. If there is any trouble, will you panic?

    "But the uncle and the three masters are not here, and the people in charge can't make the decision.

    What? Second Master?  Hey, there is a second master in the house?

    Xu Jie does have three brothers, including Xu Zhi, but they, the side brothers, have no power to decide the affairs of the house.

    So Xu Er and several stewards had to come forward to appease him, and at the same time they went to Tuisiyuan to ask for instructions.  After coming back, I promised them that even if they were included in the Tiger Head Book, they would still be exempted.

    But those family members didn¡¯t believe it, because the prefect¡¯s Yamen had announced that the regulations would be strictly followed this time, and the Xu family would be given a maximum exemption of 6,000 acres.

    And they have carried dozens or hundreds of times the number of acres. Even if the Xu family gives them all their shares, it will be a drop in the bucket.

    Naturally, no one would be sent back so easily, and they still tried hard to return the field to the master.

    The stewards were struggling, and a large group of people came over there.  But I didn¡¯t come here to withdraw the land, but I wanted to take back the land I donated

    ps. I spent time with the kids this weekend, and there are only two updates left. I¡¯ll make up for it tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
