Chapter 1977

The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty only came to the counties, and the villages below were basically autonomous.

What does autonomy depend on?

The village elders, the Li Jia system, and above it are the gentry.

As for some people saying that Li Chang is a clear evidence of imperial power to the countryside, that's bullshit.

The gentry were familiar with the government, so they had a great voice in the countryside, almost the local emperor.

"A few years ago, a squire built a bridge on the river and sent servants to collect the money. Later, the defendant went to his majesty..."

Huang Lu seems to have some gossip trends. He knows such gossip like "interesting things" like the back of his hand.

"People say that the best way to repay the countryside is to build bridges and pave roads, which makes people feel strange."

Huang Lu wanted to find out the emperor's views and subsequent countermeasures, but Fang woke up as a joke.

……

"Three people died, two were killed in the street, and the other was stoned to death."

There were bursts of sandalwood in the room. Mr. 17 had just taken a nap and looked in a bad mood.

After Yang Yan finished, he saw a look of anger gathering on Mr. 17's face.

The original lazy face turned iron blue. Mr. 17 asked expressionless, "didn't you say at night, why do you do it during the day?"

Yang Yanna said: "Sir, at that time, the street patrol people had been cleared. Those people thought the opportunity was rare. As for the night, xinghebo's men were all tigers and wolves, and they didn't dare..."

Mr. 17's beard suddenly tilted. He was staring at the smoke rising from the incense burner. At the moment, he slowly turned his head and stared at Yang Yan.

The unkind words spewed out in an instant: "I see you are fascinated and incoherent by that bird tongue."

Yang Yan trembled and stood with his hands tied.

Mr. 17 looked up slightly and said, "if you want to go your own way, why do you come to ask me?"

"I can't wait."

Yang Yan bowed his head and apologized. He was just a person. To say something ugly, the doorkeepers of the family were more noble than him. Moreover, Mr. 17 was in charge of foreign affairs, almost the representative of the family.

Mr. 17 said contemptuously, "it's just that you have no strength to bind a chicken. You're still timid. What can you do?"

Seeing that Yang Yan was more afraid, Mr. 17 eased his tone: "no matter who is sitting in that chair, no matter which generation, my family's status is transcendent. This time, I am also thinking quietly, carrying my family behind my back, and want to come out and see what the magnanimous person is..."

"Don't be afraid of anything. At such a critical juncture, the wind has spread all over Daming. Fang woke up. Even if the killing opportunity is prosperous, he can only plan secretly and won't do it boldly. Otherwise, the world will shake. Who can spare him?"

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "yes, checking the farmland will make people depressed and even angry. If Fang Xing dares to take us again, it will be persecution, pressure and open the way for science. At that time, who can bear it? I'm afraid the capital will fall apart."

Mr. 17 nodded with satisfaction and said, "I've almost finished the chatter. You can naturally stay with her afterwards."

Yang Yanxi raised his eyebrows and bowed deeply, "thank you, sir."

……

Yu Qian is waiting.

As night fell, Fang woke up and joked in the afternoon. He told him to sleep at night with one eye open so that he wouldn't know if his head was cut off.

It seems like a joke, but Yu Qian knows it's possible.

If the other party is crazy, what about the killer.

Does the emperor want to investigate?

No problem, everyone is noisy. Scholars everywhere will immediately support it. The huge voice can make the one in the Forbidden City tremble.

The key is that the gentry have the right to speak in the countryside. Once they are forced too much, it is not uncommon to rise up and smoke everywhere.

Why is it so difficult?

Standing in the courtyard, Yu Qian looked up at the stars and thought of Fang Xing's birth and entry into the world.

——Birth and entry into the world are false. A heart can be determined and less evil thoughts, that is birth, which is not based on where you are.

Yu Qian feels that he has few evil thoughts, but his heart can't be stable. He always thinks about all kinds of affairs.

At this time, his mind was pure and an idea suddenly occurred to him.

——If they kill me, will it be possible to cancel the preferential treatment of scholars?

Sacrificing life for righteousness is the essence of Yu Qian's idol Wen Tianxiang's preaching.

The moon is like water, leaning on the stone slab in the courtyard.

Fang woke up to enjoy the cool, while Wang he said to the people gathered around Mr. 17.

"... Yang Yan is the first one to use, and Deng FA and He Shan. These three people recruited the scholars. They didn't know where to get the money and wrapped up almost all the inns in the city. They let the scholars from other places live and have a party every few days to cheer them up."

"It's not surprising. They must be unwilling, so now is the beginning. We'll test each other, and then we'll fight again. But when the accounting is finished and report to the capital, those important officials will have no room to dodge and have to make a statement..."

Wang he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and said, "that's a duel between kings and ministers! Xing Hebo, we're worried that your majesty will be suppressed by them."

Fang Xing took a sip of cold tea and said, "no, your majesty is reasonable. They won't object directly, so it's very interesting."

Wang he muttered to himself that Fang Xing was too arrogant not to worry about the emperor.

Xin Laoqi came into the darkness in the distance. He came near and said, "Sir, Chang Yu and Jiang xuze had a quarrel today."

Fang woke up and the chair creaked. "Why are you arguing?"

"Jiang xuze opposes."

"I see."

Fang Xing was not surprised, "after all, that's their Tao, where the Tao is... Without hesitation."

Wang He Nu said, "eat your salary and share your worries for you. Which side does Jiang xuze stand on?"

"Ignore him."

Fang woke up and lifted Wu's hot towel from his forehead. He got up and said, "wait now. Let people keep an eye on the accounting side. Don't let people burn it."

The accounting was carried out in the chief envoy's Yamen. Fang Xing sent a hundred households to stare at it in turn.

……

The chief minister's Yamen is still brightly lit at the moment.

In a row of wing rooms, the sound of abacus was heard.

"Fifteen hectares of land."

"Wait, there's another title deed here."

"Add 32 mu."

“……”

A small official was standing outside the door. He shook his fan and stared at the movement around.

Before long, a team of sergeants came to patrol, nodded on both sides, and then the sergeant continued to patrol.

It's just the bright side. There are three groups of secret outposts staring here in the dark.

This is a force deterrent. Once someone invades, the platoon will beat them into horse hives, and then they will be left outside the Yamen to show xinghebo's determination.

Today, the three men were killed on the spot. According to bystanders, Fang Xing's servant didn't mean to catch alive at all.

This is a demonstration!

Aren't you coming? Then come on, let's see who has better means and who is more cruel.

Therefore, Mr. 17 was angry at this cruel word. He felt that he had been awakened by Fang.

At this time, he forgot that Fang Xing was the count of Daming and the master of Daming emperor. In his eyes, the world was ruled by his disciples and grandchildren,

"Li family, Li dianchen family, add 57 mu of land here."

"And!"

"It's not over yet! There are more than ten deeds of his family here."

"Tut tut! This is really a mid lift, chickens and dogs go to heaven!"

"What's this? His family is not the tallest. After a Jinshi became an official from his family, it's really growing. Now it's a famous farming and reading family in Jinan. There are a lot of slaves in the family!"

"Hey..."

After a long sigh, the abacus covered everything
