In the county government office, Lin Feng was quite leisurely.
His main task is to implement the policy of dividing every land into an area and developing commerce. Nowadays, the taxation reform has begun to be implemented, and the tax reform is being continuously promoted and implemented, so Lin Feng doesn't have much to do.
When this year's tax collection comes in, we will know how to compare the results with previous years.
While Lin Feng was reading, Gao Xiaoyu came in and reported: "Master Hou, there is an old man outside. He is already gray-haired and in his seventies or eighties. His name is Lu Zhou, and he has asked to see you by name, and this old man has an extraordinary aura. , at first glance, he is not an ordinary person.”
Lu Zhou?
Lin Feng was a little surprised when he heard this.
In my memory, I have a certain impression of Lu Zhou. In the Qin Dynasty, Lu Zhou served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the past, and was the head of the six departments. Unlike Zhang Yi, Lu Zhou likes to keep a low profile and always keeps a low profile.
Lu Zhou had a fiery nature. For the sake of government affairs, he was willing to fight with the emperor at every turn and dared to give direct advice.
Such people have a temper.
After Lin Feng arrived in Da Qin, he was familiar with everything about Da Qin and knew the information about Da Qin. Naturally, he knew about Lu Zhou.
In addition to daring to argue with the emperor, this man was also a capable minister. When Lu Zhou was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he promoted many capable ministers. The most typical person is Wang Tang. Back then, the Wang family was a family of generals, and Wang Tang was the legitimate son of the Wang family, but he chose to pursue a literary career instead of becoming an official in the army.
Many people were not optimistic about Wang Tang, but Lu Zhou had a good eye for people and promoted Wang Tang.
Zhang Yi also worked under Lu Zhou at that time.
Many ministers in the court were promoted by Lu Zhou. If Lu Zhou had not been seriously ill, he would not have retired so early. However, by the time Lu Zhou's body had almost recovered, the situation in the court had already changed. Especially since Lu Zhou's temperament was more impatient, Ying Jiuxiao was not willing to keep a powerful official minister in the court, so he never revolted against Lu Zhou.
The power of the king and the power of ministers are inherently antagonistic.
The king is strong, while the ministers are relatively weak.
If the ministers are strong, the king will naturally be weak.
Lin Feng did not expect that Lu Zhou would come to Guzang County. He was clearly in Xiutu County.
Lin Feng didn't think about anything else for the time being. He stood up, cheered up and walked out. Not long after, he arrived at the door and saw Lu Zhou, Lu Xian, Ma Sanjin and others. With a smile on his face, Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Feng, pay your respects to Duke An Guo."
Lu Zhou no longer holds office, but he still has a title. What's more, he is an influential civil servant in Da Qin.
Lin Feng had to be polite first and then fight.
If the people coming from Lu Zhou were unkind and wanted to make things difficult, Lin Feng would naturally not give in.
If you should argue hard, you still have to fight.
What should be done?
Lu Zhou looked cold and solemn, and said calmly: "Marquis of Zhenguo, I took the liberty of visiting you today. Did I disturb you in any way?"
Lin Feng said: "Dong Anguo is here to give me some advice. This junior is not able to ask for anything, so please."
Lu Zhou flicked his sleeves and stepped in.
Lin Feng followed and entered.
Lu Xian, Ma Sanjin and others also followed, with smiles already appearing on their faces.
Lu Zhou is just different.
Lin Feng has always been tough and domineering when he arrived in Guzang County. But Lin Feng was also respectful in front of Lu Zhou. You know, Lin Feng faced the domineering Yang family and chose to destroy it directly. Facing Shen Quan's strength, he directly fought back and even humiliated Shen Quan.
Lin Feng was as happy as a schoolboy in front of Lu Zhou.
Ma Sanjin and Lu Xian looked at each other, with deep expectations on their faces.
Looking forward to Lu Zhou convincing Lin Feng.
As long as Lin Feng changes his policy and no longer implements the policy of dividing a small family into an equal amount. The problems within Guzang County will be completely solved.
The group entered the living room, and the host and guest took their seats.
Lin Feng still had a smile on his face. He didn't choose to turn against him yet and ordered: "Come here, serve some good tea."
The attendant brought tea and then left.
Lu Zhou did not drink tea and said directly: "Marquis of Zhenguo, if you are just a marquis, that's it. Marquis is only related to you. However, now you are not only a Marquis of Zhenguo, but also the magistrate of Guzang County appointed by His Majesty. . But as soon as you took office, you implemented the policy of dividing the land into an area. This policy is simply ridiculous. You are so willful and reckless. It is nonsense. I came here today to ask you to stop implementing the policy of dividing the land into an area. "
Lin Feng smiled even more.
So that's it.
Lin Feng understood immediately when he saw Lu Xian, Ma Sanjin and others.
These people invited Lu Zhoulai to support them. Nowadays, in Guzang County, the Zhang Feng Mansion and other major families have benefited from Lin Feng. Even if they are unwilling in their hearts, they still support Lin Feng due to the temptation of selling salt.
As a result, many small families and small landowners had complaints, but they had nowhere to exert their efforts and did not dare to take action at will.
Lin Feng knew this.
I just didn't expect that people from these small families could invite Lu Zhou here.
Lin Feng thought about the matter and said calmly: "Dong An Guo said that my idea of sharing a small family with a single family is ridiculous. I would like to ask, where is the absurdity? I can't explain the truth. Please give me some advice from Duke An Guo."
Lu Zhou is a big troll. Listening to Lin Feng's words, it seems that Lin Feng still doesn't know how to repent.
This is even more unacceptable.
Lin Feng must be convinced.
Lu Zhou flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Lin Feng, you still don't know your mistakes. You are really stubborn and unyielding. Do you know how much turmoil will be caused once the policy of dividing one person into one mother is implemented? ?”
"There are no people in Guzang County, and some people even resist it, but it has little impact. It's not because this matter is just, but because you temporarily lured these big families with benefits. The actual implementation will inevitably be blocked. of."
"So, even if you succeed in Guzang County, so what?"
"It's not representative."
"So you wanted to promote it in Da Qin, which was unrealistic at that time. Have you ever considered that once it is promoted on a large scale, the final result will be that the entire Da Qin, countless nobles and big families will boycott it."
"You were lured by small favors in Guzang County. But in Daqin, what inducements are there for the other truly aristocratic families?"
"By then, before Xia, Jin and Qi have attacked, Da Qin will be in chaos. Da Qin will even be in turmoil in the government and the public. To put it bluntly, what you are doing is nonsense. Take governance for granted.”
Lu Zhou was very proud, stroking his beard and said: "Tell me, what do I think?"
Lu Xian was shocked when he heard this.
He deserves to be Duke An, and he deserves to be the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. His words are sharp and every sentence is like a knife. It is really powerful.
Ma Sanjin and the other heads of small families all had even more excited expressions on their faces.
Lu Zhou's eloquent words were really powerful. In Lu Zhou's words, none of them were from the perspective of his own interests, but all from the perspective of Da Qin. Under this premise, no matter how Lin Feng argued, it would not work.
Lin Feng will undoubtedly lose.
These people looked at Lu Zhou and admired him even more. They admired Lu Zhou from the bottom of their hearts. I feel from the bottom of my heart that I will win this time.
Lin Feng looked at Lu Zhouyi's positive expression and suddenly burst into laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Zhou frowned angrily and his eyes widened.
He stroked his gray beard under his chin, looking calm and confident.
This was the head of the civil service in the past.
Has its own power.
Lin Feng said lightly: "Why am I laughing? Don't you understand that Duke An Guo understands? What I'm laughing at is that Duke An Guo said things that were against his will in a serious manner and pretended to be serving the country and the people. In fact, he had dirty thoughts. , just like the singer in the brothel, who wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time. How can I not laugh at such behavior? "
