Chapter seventy-fifth grandfather and grandson night talk

"Madam," Zhang Dalang was very happy to see Yuan Baoer.

Yuan Baoer smiled at him and couldn't go over, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Dalang shook his head, "After you leave, I will hide elsewhere. Later, something happened in the yamen. I was worried about the car and my wife was looking for it, so I went back to the guest house."

Yuan Baoer smiled and nodded, "It's fine."

She stepped into the car, and Zhang Dalang waited for her to go in and sat down before saying, "Madam, will we go back now?"

Yuan Baoer smiled and nodded, tilted her head to see Wei Dang standing outside, and said, "Senior Brother, you need to come in."

Wei Dang hesitated and took the car to the shaft, "It's fine if I'm here."

Yuan Baoer smiled, letting him do it.

She has been running around since the early morning, and until now, her physical strength has been completely overdrawn.

After falling off the curtain, she took out the soft mattress placed in the stool.

Leaning against the wing board, I fell asleep deeply.

Wei Dang leaned against the carriage, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, thinking about the situation he was about to face when he returned to Beijing this time, his eyes were filled with depression.

Before, they were in the Ministry of Revenue, but they were just doing small things like accounting.

I listen to the tone of the people in charge of the affairs of the country and the people in daily life.

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he listened to it a little.

I thought they could still remember their duties at the worst, but I didn't expect that he would take it for granted.

He turned his head slightly, avoided the blowing wind, and said, "Did you meet Lord Gu before?"

The carriage was extremely quiet. Wei Dang waited for a while, but couldn't wait for the answer, so he lifted the curtain and saw Yuan Baoer curled up in a ball and sleeping soundly.

The sun was a little dim, but the light on the car wall swayed slightly on her face, placing her with a soft light.

A few naughty hair fell on her face, and as the carriage swayed gently, it rubbed her pouting mouth from time to time, and then slowly fell down.

Yuan Baoer is lively and doesn't want other young ladies to behave like the rules. Wei Dang often forgets that the one who follows him is actually a young ladies.

But at this moment, Wei Dang clearly realized that Yuan Baoer was indeed a little lady, and a very well-behaved and cute little lady.

Wei Dang's eyes shook on her lips, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Zhang Dalang heard the sound of the next door and turned to look over.

Wei Dang had already dropped the curtain and sat upright.

Zhang Dalang only glanced at him and continued to whip the whip when he saw nothing happened.

Wei Dang closed his eyes and leaned back slightly, as if he was sleeping. No one knew that the scene he had just seen was constantly flashing through his mind at this moment.

Zhang Dalang rushed all the way and finally entered the capital before the curfew.

Wei Dang asked Zhang Dalang to put him at the city gate and knocked on the window.

Yuan Baoer broke away from his misty eyes and struggled to emerge from the warm mattress.

"Senior Brother," she poked her head out of her sleepy eyes, and her pink lips pouted unconsciously.

Wei Dang looked at her apricot eyes that were glowing with water, and his throat quickly slid, and a thought of trying to rub it out in his heart.

The night breeze was slightly cool, Yuan Baoer calmed down for a moment and woke up.

"I'll go back first. Don't go to the Ministry of Revenue these days."

Yuan Baoer nodded and asked him: "What about you?"

Wei Dang smiled, "They dare not do anything to me."

Yuan Baoer nodded obediently, thought for a while and said, "Did Brother Cui know it too?"

"I can," Wei Dang nodded simply and turned around and left.

Yuan Baoer looked at his back for a while, then looked at the dark sky again, and the curtain fell.

When he went home, Cheng Li came out of the study.

"Madame," Yuan Baoer trotted over.

Cheng Li held her in front of him, "Be more steadily."

Yuan Baoer smiled and turned to see Cuixin and Madam Wang were there, and said, "I'm going to starve to death. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes," Madam Wang went straight to the kitchen.

"There is Dalang, he didn't eat either," Yuan Baoer said loudly, and pulled Cheng Li into the study.

Seeing her like this, Cuixin knew that she had something to say, so she stood at the door.

Yuan Baoer finished talking about the matter along the way. Seeing that the grandfather was calm and silent, he whispered: "Master, am I in trouble?"

Cheng Li came back to his senses and smiled at her, "It's okay."

"The Buyiwei has intervened in this matter, and the others will be tempted and restrained."

Yuan Baoer blinked and said incrediblely: "Then what? I don't care about those places?"

Cheng Li smiled, "Do you know how many aristocratic families are in the court? How many in-laws are they in-laws and marriages are in-laws, and how many of them are in court?"

"A network of such a complex network of relationships will cause turmoil if you are not careful."

"Your Majesty is seeking stability now, so this matter will not be a big deal."

Yuan Baoer's eyes were wide open and she silently expressed her resistance.

Cheng Li didn't know what she was thinking. He touched her head and said warmly: "Your Majesty's patience is for the overall situation, but this is also limited. All we can do is wait."

Yuan Baoer vaguely understood what his grandfather meant, but when he thought about the refugees who were detained, he felt a little sad.

"My grandfather, those vagrants are very pitiful, and some of them shouldn't be vagrants."

Cheng Li knew that she was weak and said, "What do you want?"

Yuan Baoer whispered: "Don't Your Majesty want to implement the official and civil system?"

"The fields in the mountains were originally cultivated by them. Why would they classify them as an official system and let them plant them."

"The court has taxes, and they can rely on them for a living, isn't it cheap?"

Cheng Li nodded slightly.

"The Tao is also a solution."

Yuan Baoer said again: "Changle County is only a short distance from the capital. This can happen even if it is so close. If it is farther, it will be even more rampant."

Cheng Li looked at her calmly.

Yuan Baoer said: "I look at those people today, but I actually don't want to be tenant farmers."

"It can be introduced from this, and people from other places must think so."

"So I wonder, can you ask Your Majesty to issue an order to record all the land not recorded in the land book as a land without a master, and divide the landlords into people by their heads, so that the government can control it."

After saying that, Yuan Baoer looked at Cheng Li with anticipation.

Cheng Li couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty thought about this method more than ten years ago."

Yuan Baoer was stunned.

"Why?"

Cheng Li sighed: "The aristocratic families are not just a large number of people, but also their relationship is complicated and officials protect each other. Who can determine the number of acres in the field book is correct?"

"The Qing Dynasty has such a large territory, and there is only one emperor. How can we determine where the newly opened wasteland is?"

"If a person who opens up the land is born, he is a noble family, how should he calculate it?"

Cheng Li's questions came one after another, and Yuan Baoer was speechless when asked.

Cheng Li smiled, "Your Majesty knows that this matter is a major plan for decades and cannot be completed in a moment. It took so long to start slowly."

Yuan Baoer calmed down.

Cui Xin knocked on the door lightly, "My wife, the face is ready."

Yuan Baoer yelled and went over to open the door, and saw Madam Wang coming over with noodle soup.

Yuan Baoer is so hungry that she is about to get overheated and she is eating slowly.
