Jingzhou.
Murong Yanran was dealing with trivial matters.
Suddenly she received a letter from Qin Yuan, asking her to go to the Jingzhou government office.
Murong Yanran looked at the note and muttered to herself, "What's this guy up to? Why is he looking for me?"
Murong Yanran was puzzled.
Qin Yuan has a secret channel of communication with His Majesty.
If there is anything, wouldn't it be more appropriate to go directly to His Majesty?
Why are you looking for her?
Besides, he never looked for me!
What on earth is Qin Yuan up to?
Murong Yanran couldn't understand.
But since Qin Yuan came to find her, she could only put down her work for the time being and go meet Qin Yuan.
…
Jingzhou government office.
Murong Yanran looked at the door with full of doubts and pushed it open and walked in.
As expected.
Qin Yuan was busy tidying up his clothes.
It's obvious what this lazy guy was doing just now.
Murong Yanran frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. It was normal for Dacai to have some quirks. Let him sleep if he wants. It won't affect the court's affairs anyway.
"Lord Murong came so quickly." Qin Yuan smiled embarrassedly.
He didn't expect that Murong Yanran would come running soon after he sent the message.
Apparently he had set off as soon as he received his note.
Murong Yanran's beautiful face froze, and she replied with a forced smile, "Sir Qin, I have an important matter to summon you. How dare Yanran not come?"
"Cough cough cough--" Qin Yuan coughed lightly a few times to cover up his embarrassment, quickly took out a draft from his sleeve and handed it to Murong Yanran.
"What is this?" Murong Yanran was a little confused.
"Lord Murong, you will know after you take a look." Qin Yuan kept it a secret.
Murong Yanran was bewildered and opened the stack of papers Qin Yuan handed to her with full of doubts.
Just a glance.
Murong Yanran could no longer move her eyes away.
The burden of labor service is borne by the land? !
Abolish labor and hire people to complete it instead?!
Then spread the cost evenly among each acre of land and impose taxes?
There is actually such an operation?!
This set of ideas and operations is very consistent with Qin Yuan's usual operations and style.
a long time.
Murong Yanran had just folded the paper and returned it to Qin Yuan, saying excitedly, "This law is a virtuous policy that will benefit the people of the world!"
"only……"
She frowned, her beauty cold: "Will raising taxes like this cause dissatisfaction among the people?"
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Master Murong is proficient in mathematics. I believe you have already calculated the tax amount per acre of land."
"May I ask, for the common people, which is heavier, the tax or the corvée?"
Murong Yanran exhaled, already having the answer in her mind, "Of course, the suffering of corvée labor is even worse."
Qin Yuan shrugged: "If that's the case, the people are already applauding, so how could they be dissatisfied?"
Murong Yanran stammered, "But..."
Qin Yuan chuckled: "Master Murong is worried about the aristocratic families, right?"
"I don't think it's anything to worry about. It's just a small tax. They have plenty of ways to reduce their payment. There might be retaliation, but with the King of Qin here, they won't seek hardship."
"For them, although this is painful, it won't make them take the risk of rebelling against the imperial court."
Murong Yanran thought about it and realized that this was indeed true.
Your Majesty is now on the rise.
These aristocratic families might secretly create obstacles and resort to fraud to evade taxes, but they would certainly not openly incite the people to cause trouble.
only.
Qin Yuan already had it all figured out, so why did he call me over?
Why not let Your Majesty release it directly for trial?
Murong Yanran didn't understand.
So, she asked tentatively, "Master Qin asked Yanran to come, but is there something you don't understand?"
"Yanran sees that you have a plan in mind. Why not hand it over directly to Your Majesty and try it out in a few counties?"
Qin Yuan frowned, sighed, and shrugged helplessly: "Alas——"
"I am only a small official in Jingzhou..."
"hehe!"
As soon as Qin Yuan opened his mouth, Murong Yanran laughed: "How could His Majesty not read your Lord Qin's memorial? You are really worrying too much!"
This Qin Yuan is still pretending to be stupid.
Do you really think she knows nothing?
The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes!
Qin Yuan was stunned, and then cried, "Master Murong, you don't know. Although this plan is good, I dare not use it."
"Why?" Murong Yanran didn't understand. What was there to be afraid of?
Qin Yuan said dejectedly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the noble families, but I am afraid!"
"I am only a small magistrate. How can I be allowed to submit such a memorial?"
"They dare not do anything to your Majesty, but I am doomed!"
"As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. I have a family to support, and I simply can't withstand their retaliation..."
Well……
The corners of Murong Yanran's mouth twitched slightly.
What kind of reason is this?
You have done so much for His Majesty, and few of the tricks you have used are dishonest!
Why didn’t I see you scared at that time!
"What does Lord Qin mean?" Murong Yanran asked.
Qin Yuan was not polite and said straight to the point: "How about signing the 'bureaucratic tax distribution' method under Lord Murong's name?"
"Have Lord Murong sign it and hand it to Your Majesty. Please do not mention me again. It has nothing to do with me."
"If you encounter any problems in the future, I can help Lord Murong solve them."
Murong Yanran bit her rosy lips and asked in a muffled voice, "Let me?"
"You're going to give me this great achievement, this opportunity to leave your name in history?"
"Not bad." Qin Yuan nodded.
"Don't you regret it?" Murong Yanran asked again.
"There's nothing to regret."
"Then what do you want?"
"Uh...for peace of mind and the well-being of my family!"
Murong Yanran stared at the man in front of her in a daze.
As if to see through his heart.
However, Qin Yuan remained unmoved and remained calm.
He didn't want to be exposed, so he could just let His Majesty take the credit directly. Why did he have to go through him?
Even I, a personal female official, didn't know what channel the two used to communicate.
Even if the aristocratic families have all-knowing connections, they can't possibly know.
Why bother with this?
This reason is totally untenable!
What on earth is this person trying to do?
Or is this part of his and His Majesty's plan?
What are these two people up to?
Murong Yanran's mind was working rapidly.
