Chapter 507 Private and Public(2/2)
After a while, Cai Bian looked up at Pei Yin and said, "I heard that the Wen family had an imperial edict entering the palace yesterday?"
Pei Yin was shocked violently, and he bowed even more and said, "Yes. According to the records of Tongzhengsi, it was Wen Xianggong Liu's grandson's wife who brought a few gifts that were not important and heavy, and the Empress accepted them."
Cai Bian nodded slightly and said, "Where is Your Highness now?"
The current "Your Highness" without prefixes generally refer to Zhao Quan.
Pei Yin said: "In the Qingbiao Hall, the concubine is taking care of her."
Cai Bian nodded again and said, "Has the Empress said anything about the amnesty?"
The Political Affairs Hall has decided many things recently. Under the framework of the "Shaosheng New Deal", many "new laws" have been determined, and will be promulgated together when the reign changes next year.
The biggest thing that has the most involvement with Empress Meng is the "general amnesty".
Pei Yin said: "No. The Empress has never said anything, publicly or privately."
Cai Bian thought for a while, turned to look at Zhang Dun, and said, "Gold Wen also complained about the amnesty matter, believing that the amnesty list formulated by the Ministry of Justice, the Censor, and the Ministry of Rites was too harsh and could not reflect the lenient and kindness of the official family."
Zhang Dun showed a little smile on his serious face, but it was really only a little bit. He looked at Pei Yin and said, "Tell the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, their amnesty list, and the Political Affairs Hall tends to the Ministry of Rites. Let them discuss it again and take out more detailed ones."
Pei Yin looked motionless and raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Pei Yin knew very well that according to Li Qingchen's amnesty list, almost most of the "old party" were removed from the scope of pardon, and naturally, it also included the Meng family!
Cai Bian continued to look at Zhang Dun and said, "Do you want to talk about it again on the queen?"
After all, Empress Meng is the queen, it would be fine if she doesn't speak. If she speaks, the government and the people will inevitably be greatly affected.
After all, she is not only the queen of the central palace, but also the eldest prince!
Both Cai Bian and Zhang Dun vaguely heard that the young officials intend to establish a crown prince as soon as possible.
They can understand this idea, and the inheritance of the throne of the Song Dynasty has always been mostly dirty.
Zhang Dun still had a smile on his face and said, "No need. The queen is a smart person and knows how to measure. Is the 'equal field method' almost the same?"
The Political Affairs Hall summarizes the reforms involving land and is named "Equalized Field Method". It contains the methods, goals and goals of land reform, as well as the basis for taxation, including wasteland, imperial fields, royal families, noble land, and land that are not recovered, etc.
Cai Bian thoughtfully and said, "The Ministry of Revenue learned a lot of experience and lessons from the Kaifeng Prefecture pilot project and discussed it with Kaifeng Prefecture many times, and it has basically been formed. I asked before and was originally scheduled to come up tomorrow."
Zhang Dun said: "Send it directly to Wen Yanbo, and also to send it to the same tax law."
The "Same Tax Law" is the tax rules for the overall taxation of the country, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. The main purpose is to balance taxation, create a sustainable tax environment, create a good agricultural and commercial environment, and fundamentally manage the strange and unpredictable taxation in the Song Dynasty.
According to the previous agreement between Zhao Xu and Wen Yanbo, all of these require Wen Yanbo to write a letter, shoulder the banner and shoulder the great responsibility.
Zhang Dun's actions were naturally not just this agreement, but a kind of blow.
This is to Queen Meng’s actions today and to Wen Yanbo’s gift to Queen Meng.
Cai Bian thought about it and agreed, and suddenly said, "Your little granddaughter is having sex with Meng Mugu?"
Zhang Dun glanced at him and said, "You are also concerned about your children's affairs. Is it too idle to come in?"
Cai Bian said calmly, "You don't care, they won't. It's not a trivial matter for the Meng family to marry the Zhang family."
Although Zhang Dun didn't care about his children's affairs, he had to consider the influence and said, "Let's wait and see."
Cai Bianqing knew that Zhang Dun didn't like to discuss such things, and would not interfere with the marriage of his children. He pondered: "You go back and discuss with the eldest lady, don't be careless."
Zhang Dun responded and changed the topic: "Xia Liao envoy is coming, what do you think?"
Cai Bian looked cold and said, "The Tubo side is not quiet. Xia and Liao came together. This is to put pressure on us together. The official arrangements are still visionary."
Zhang Dun said: "I don't see them, I've been a little angry recently."
Cai Bian suddenly smiled and said, "I have a good temper and I won't see you anymore. Let Mr. Wen go and see you."
