nunnery.
Shallow sobs echoed in the meditation room.
Master Zhiguang, who made people feel pure and peaceful, was huddled helplessly in the corner.
The noble demeanor is gone, just like the little girl sitting under the eaves crying.
The two figures seemed to overlap across time and space!
Over the past ten years, she has changed, but she seems to have stayed the same.
Who can tell clearly about the things in this world!
"Dad, my daughter thought that she could let go of everything in more than ten years."
"But when I saw my senior brother, I almost couldn't hold it back."
"The senior brother wants his daughter to go back, but the daughter doesn't know how to refuse the senior brother."
"But I can tell my daughter rationally that we can't go back. We can't go back anymore."
"In more than ten years, things and people have changed, which is enough to change many things."
"But... my daughter really misses my senior brother..."
The emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years finally couldn't be suppressed anymore after meeting my senior brother.
…
night.
Neither of them could sleep.
The little junior sister was just staring at the stars in the yard.
Yang Xuan also found a place with a better view and looked at the stars.
They... all have something on their mind.
…
The next day, Yang Xuan saw his junior sister again.
However, this time the two of them didn't say a few words. The junior sister excused herself to sit in meditation, and Yang Xuan had no choice but to leave.
He knew there was no rush.
On the third day, Yang Xuan came again, but the junior sister was nowhere to be seen.
But he hid and took a peek.
On the fourth day, Yang Xuan still didn't see his junior sister.
On the fifth and sixth days, still no sight.
On the seventh day, late at night, Yang Xuan sneaked into the nunnery.
He didn't know why he came in at this time, but a voice in his heart told him that he should come.
When he arrived outside the little junior sister's meditation room, he could hear the low sobbing inside.
At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
Some feel distressed, and some regret that they shouldn't have waited so long.
He opened the door and walked directly in.
"Little junior sister, it's me."
The meditation room was quiet for a moment, and then the voice of the junior sister came.
"Brother, why are you looking for me? We can't go back!"
In the darkness, Yang Xuan could still see clearly that the junior sister was huddled in the corner alone, feeling helpless.
He stepped forward and hugged the little junior sister gently.
"sorry Sorry……"
He found that no matter what he said at this moment, it was so feeble.
“Woooooo~~~”
"Senior brother~~"
The little junior sister buried her head in her senior brother's arms and soon wetted his clothes.
Her hard armor was shattered at this moment, and she greedily felt her senior brother's tenderness and his warm embrace.
Yang Xuan felt very sad, he should have found his junior sister earlier.
"Little Junior Sister, let's go back." He said softly.
"Hmm..." The little junior sister in her arms hummed imperceptibly.
"Let's leave now." Yang Xuan didn't want to wait any longer and directly picked up the little junior sister.
"Senior brother, wait."
"What's wrong."
"I need to tidy up."
"good."
Yang Xuan did not refuse and waited at the door.
There was a light in the Zen room, and then there was a rustling sound.
Soon, the junior sister had tidied up.
She changed out of her monk's robes and wore common people's clothes.
He held a bundle in his hand.
"Brother, I'm fine."
"I left them a letter so they wouldn't worry."
Yang Xuan looked at his junior sister and showed a smile.
Looking behind her again, there was indeed a letter on the table.
"Wait a mininute!"
Yang Xuan walked in and placed another five hundred taels of silver notes next to the letter.
This is his intention, hoping to improve the lives of everyone in the nunnery.
"Let's go!"
Yang Xuan blew out the oil lamp and said.
"Um."
Afterwards, Yang Xuan took his junior sister over the wall and left the nunnery.
The view in the mountains at night was not good, but it did not have a big impact on Yang Xuan.
He carried his junior sister on his back and went down the mountain very fast.
…
Two days later, Yang Xuan found the secret guard who brought him here.
The horse he rode when he left the capital was also stored with him.
He rested here for a day, tidied himself up, and prepared two sets of clothes for himself and his junior sister.
Then he spent money to buy a carriage and took his junior sister on the road back to the capital.
Yang Xuan was not in a hurry. He turned into a conscientious tour guide and took his junior sister to relax and learn about the current Ming Dynasty.
The junior sister has been away for too long, many things have changed, and we need to get to know her again.
In this way, it took about a month for the two of them to enter the Yingtian Mansion.
…
at the same time.
Tie Xuan has completed his mission and returned to the capital.
He confiscated the property of many corrupt officials and greatly enriched the national treasury.
Zhu Di was very happy about this.
He was not mistaken, Tie Xuan was indeed a capable minister and official.
His presence is a strong deterrent to those officials who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but secretly engage in male thieves and female prostitutes.
Royal study room.
After Tie Xuan finished reporting his work, he took out a new coupon.
"Your Majesty, I have been out for nearly a year and have made overt and covert visits. In addition to checking on past disaster relief matters, I have also learned about the people's livelihood and the living conditions of the people in various places."
“It turns out there are a lot of problems with the tax system.”
"The burden on the people is too heavy."
"I have some ideas, please take a look at them, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Tie Xuan held up the fold with both hands.
Wang Zhong forwarded it to Zhu Di.
"Give me a seat. I'll take a look first."
There is quite a bit of content in the book, so Zhu Di will probably have to watch it for a while.
Moreover, Tie Xuan has made a great contribution this time, so it’s hard to keep him standing and waiting.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tie Hyun thanked him and sat down.
In the ten years since Yongle's reign, he spent most of his time running around outside.
Although he is in his forties, he looks older than officials of the same age in the capital.
He spent too much energy for the sake of the country and the country.
The excerpt written by Tie Xuan is very straightforward, there is no flattery content, it is all practical information.
Including what I learned when chatting with people.
Seeing many landowners evading taxes, Zhu Di couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Damn it, these bitches."
This is only what you know, what about the ones you don’t know?
How many landlords were there in Ming Dynasty?
Even if only half of the tax evasion occurs, this adds up to a huge number.
Later, I saw that many people wanted to sell their land to the emperor and farm it as tenants for the emperor.
Zhu Di was also surprised.
He read on and learned why.
Now, I hate the landowners who evade taxes even more.
He also farmed. Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Ma often took her brothers to work in the fields.
Later, he took his wife and children to farm in Fengyang for three years.
These experiences are precious treasures in his life.
However, he was confused about the tax collection policy for the people of Huangzhuang.
"Tie Xuan, the people of Huangzhuang you mentioned above only need to pay 30% of the tax and don't have to pay anything else, but is it true?"
…
If the writing is not good, feel free to scold me if you want!
