Yang Xuan and Tie Xuan had a big quarrel due to disagreements, and the news that Tie Xuan was still under house arrest by Yang Xuan was learned by the Zhejiang Governor through their own channels.
Chief envoy Si Yamen.
The chief envoy of Zhejiang//Jiang took a sip of tea and smiled.
"Now it is certain that Marquis Changping and Na Tiexuan are not the same people."
"The previous harmony only looked harmonious."
"Actually, the two of them are at odds with each other."
"Your Excellency!" The subordinate flattered him promptly.
"Haha~" Zhejiang smiled proudly, and the stone hanging in his heart could finally fall.
Although they were unable to stop the implementation of the work, but with the protection of the Marquis of Changping and His Highness the King of Han, they were able to obtain sufficient benefits for themselves in the process.
…
A lot of the land surveying work in Zhejiang/Jiang Province had been completed before Yang Xuan came, and now with the cooperation of officials at all levels, the speed has increased a lot.
More than half a month later, Yang Xuan looked at the tallied accounts at the Chief Envoy's Yamen and felt emotional in his heart.
More than 30% of the province's land is in the hands of the landlord gentry.
You know, it has only been more than 40 years since the founding of the country!
If this rate continues, by the time the country is a hundred years old, at least half of the land will have fallen into the hands of the landlords and gentry.
The people held less than half of the land, but they had to bear the other half of the taxes.
How could the people survive with such a heavy burden?
When the time comes, chaos will inevitably arise.
From this point of view, it is necessary to continue to implement the method of dividing a small family into an acre.
Now, all the statistics that need to be counted are almost done, so there is no need to waste any more time.
Yang Xuan turned to look at the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang/Jiang, and ordered: "The news that the tenants have entered the land has been circulating among the people for a long time."
"The people are also waiting eagerly. Now, it is time for the court to give the people a clear answer."
"From now on, put up notices and tell the people the news!"
"Yes, I'll go down and make arrangements now!" The chief envoy of Zhejiang/Jiangang nodded and retreated.
Looking at his leaving figure, Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
No need to guess, they will definitely do something about this notice.
They may even distort the original meaning of the policy to harm the interests of the people and thus achieve their own benefit.
However, Yang Xuan had no intention of interfering.
Just let them do it, it's better to make people resentful.
When the time comes, he will take action, in the name of the court, comply with public opinion, suppress corrupt officials, and then implement the policy smoothly.
…
When he returned to his residence and saw Tie Xuan again, the latter glanced at Yang Xuan, then snorted coldly and stopped talking.
In response, Yang Xuan smiled inwardly.
Although the officialdom has been turbid since ancient times, people like Tie Xuan are really indispensable.
Their presence can make the officialdom look clearer.
"Master Tie, are you still angry?"
Yang Xuan smiled and sat next to Tie Xuan.
"Hmph, I am ashamed to be associated with you and others." Tie Xuan snorted heavily and distanced himself from Yang Xuan.
"It seems that Master Tie has a lot of misunderstandings about me!" Yang Xuan sighed.
"What misunderstanding can there be? They're just like the same raccoon dog!"
Tie Xuan said, disgust written on his face.
Yang Xuan was not angry either. He called for an attendant and said, "Go and prepare a table of wine and food. I want to have a drink with Master Tie."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
When the food and wine were ready, Yang Xuan and Tie Xuan sat opposite each other.
There was no one else around the two of them, and all the attendants were retreated by Yang Xuanping.
So there is no need to worry about the conversation between the two being overheard.
Tie Xuan still looked cold and did not even look at Yang Xuan seriously.
Yang Xuan stood up and filled up the wine for Tie Xuan, and then filled up the wine for himself.
"Keystone, I have wronged you during this time."
Yang Xuan spoke first.
"I dare not. The Marquis is an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. How dare I say I am wronged?"
Tie Xuan said with strange yin and yang.
"Haha, look at how you look now."
"Actually, quarreling with you and putting you under house arrest are just part of my plan."
"You and I both know the attitude of local officials towards the New Deal."
"If not, how could they cooperate with me?"
"Now, I have learned everything that I need to know, and I don't intend to compromise with them anymore."
"It's time for a showdown!"
Yang Xuan smiled and then looked serious.
Slowly tell Tie Xuan his plan.
Tie Xuan looked disdainful at first, and then the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
The change in expression is nothing short of wonderful.
After hearing the whole plan, Tie Xuan couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Master Marquis, I would like to offer you a drink!" Tie Xuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"The lower official has misunderstood the Marquis."
"If I had known this, even if I suffered a little more grievance, what would it mean?"
Tie Xuan smiled happily.
At the same time, thinking of the words he scolded Yang Xuan, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
At this moment, his admiration for Yang Xuan reached an unparalleled level.
This man simply doesn't take his reputation seriously.
To achieve the goal, the means justify the means.
I'm afraid it won't leave a good reputation in the history books from now on.
For such a person, Tie Xuan felt both admiration and mixed feelings.
He knew that he would never be able to be like Yang Xuan in his lifetime.
The misunderstanding was resolved and the two of them were very happy when they got along again.
Tie Xuan toasted frequently, but his drinking capacity could not compare with Yang Xuan.
It didn't take long before I got drunk.
Yang Xuan could only send Tie Xuan back to the room in person.
After returning, Yang Xuan shook his head slightly as he looked at the almost untouched food and wine on the table.
Really, it’s a pity that I still drink so much when I can’t drink. With so many good things, I can only take advantage of it... Yang Xuan sat down again and prepared to use his chopsticks.
"Uncle Master, did you prepare this specially for me?"
It happened that the little boy came back at this time and saw this scene.
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Why did you come back just now? The food is cold."
Yang Xuan asked again.
"Hey, don't mention it."
"The streets are in chaos now." The little boy sat down opposite Yang Xuan and said.
"What's going on?" Yang Xuan asked.
"It's not because of the notice."
The little boy poured himself a glass of wine, finished it in one gulp, and said.
When he came back, he saw government officials posting notices at every city gate.
Out of curiosity, he went up to take a look.
I found the writing to be really obscure.
The government servant who explained next to him also distorted the content of the notice.
Tell the people that the court wants to change the tax system.
Tell the people openly and secretly that they will have to pay more taxes in the future.
The current tax burden is not light, but fortunately we can still survive.
When the people had complaints, they just kept them in their hearts.
Now that this notice has been issued and coupled with such a misinterpretation, it is strange that the people have no opinions.
Yang Xuan listened quietly and did not express an opinion.
Instead, he greeted the little boy: "Come on, have a drink!"
"Hey, why does this wine glass seem to have been used by someone?"
"There is nothing wrong with you."
"Really?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
