Although there is a stipulated upper limit for the share, it cannot stop those below from trying to find ways to transfer the land to those scholars with meritorious status.
It has long been difficult to distinguish between official land and private land in the world. We only know that the land owned by each noble is just the tip of the iceberg.
So in the final analysis, the root of the problem still lies in the privileges granted to those scholars by the Dayu Court.
Lu Fang was in the motorcade all the way from Jingnan County to Tongchuan County. He saw many sights that he had never seen before, and was naturally quite touched.
He just thought that if Lu Liang could really ascend the throne, no matter what method he tried, he would have to deprive scholars of their privileges.
The imperial examination... Being an official in this way is already the greatest privilege.
It's enough to refuse to bow to officials and be exempted from corvee. The exemption from grain tax must definitely be cancelled.
If Dayu wants to prosper, the first thing it must do is let the common people have food to eat. Because most of the people in this world are common people.
If the people have enough to eat, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe. If the people don't have enough to eat, chaos will spread.
This is an ironclad fact.
Of course, this is just an assumption.
Lu Fang knew very well that changing the social system of this era was even more difficult than taking back the country from Liang Hanmin.
…
On the third day after setting off from Dongting Lake, the group finally arrived at Kuizhou City, the capital of Kuizhou County.
Everyone disembarked here and settled down at the inn outside Kuizhou City. They planned to rest for the night before continuing to Tongchuan Prefecture.
It was night, and we didn't even enter Kuizhou City.
The next morning, they commandeered the carriage in the post station and went directly to Tongchuan.
Lu Liang, the deputy governor, took office, which is quite low-key. Otherwise, if he really wanted to raise a big banner, many local officials would surely be alerted to come out to greet him.
There were no twists and turns along the way.
After five days, the convoy arrived at Tongchuan Prefecture quite quietly.
However, this journey was really bumpy for Lu Fang and others.
There are many mountainous roads in Tongchuan and Chengdu. As the saying goes, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky.
Moreover, the people's livelihood and economy in this place are quite inferior to those in Jingbei, Jingnan and other places. The officials sent here by the imperial court were overwhelmed just to deal with the rebels. The official roads were in disrepair for a long time and were really in dilapidated condition.
Lu Fang and others did not encounter marauding bandits or rebels pretending to be bandits on the way. The rebels were pretty lucky.
Tongchuan Mansion is a bit more primitive than Kuizhou City.
However, among these mountains and mountains, the mountain city has a more ethereal charm. It seems that even the pedestrians passing by have a little more aura.
There should also be more charlatans.
Some people say that Sichuan is a holy place for martial arts. Among the most famous martial arts holy places in the Dayu Dynasty, Shuzhong alone occupies two of them.
One is the Tianxiao Sword Sect, which is known as the head of the six sword sects.
Then there is the Sword Tomb, which although not as famous as the Tianxiao Sword Sect, has sprung up countless sword masters.
In addition, there are many backbone sects.
After entering the city, everyone went directly to the Kuizhou Jiedu Envoy Office.
Get off the carriage at the door.
"Sir! Master!"
Just as Lu Fang and Lu Liang got out of the car, they heard someone shouting not far away.
Turning his head to look, he saw it was Jiang Zimo.
This guy had brought Zhu'er and the others to Kuizhou City for several days. After settling down in the inn in the city, he waited outside the Jiedu Envoy Office every day for the arrival of Lu Liang and the others.
He shouted and walked quickly towards Lu Liang and Lu Fang.
Lu Fang looked at the solemn Jiedushi Mansion and asked him, "Where are Zhu'er and the others?"
Jiang Zimo said: "It's all at my place!"
Then he looked at Lu Liang and said, "Sir, I have already gone to the Jiedushi Mansion to make a report according to your wishes. Your official residence should have been arranged."
"good."
Lu Liang nodded with a smile and walked towards the guard at the door.
He took out his tooth seal ribbon, which immediately shocked the guards and saluted them quickly. Then some people hurriedly ran towards the government office.
The arrival of a new deputy governor is no small matter.
Deputy Jiedushi, pacifying envoys, and transfer envoys are officials just below the Jiedushi envoy. Although they are not as autonomous as the pacifying envoys, transfer envoys, and supervisory envoys, they are restricted by the Jiedushi envoys in all aspects.
But he is also a person who can be ranked high in Tongchuan County.
One of the top few.
"Master, my official residence is really magnificent."
While Lu Liang went up to talk to the guard, Jiang Zimo said to Lu Fang with a smile.
He is now also a high-ranking official and can also enjoy the benefits of an official residence.
Although given his rank, the official residence is definitely not high-end. But since it is an official residence, it is definitely not too bad.
Seeing this guy's excited look, Lu Fang couldn't help but find it a little funny, and struck: "I just like how you look like you have never seen the world."
Jiang Zimo muttered, "It's really impressive!"
Lu Fang squinted at him and said, "This is the worst official residence for you, and you are so happy. Then in the future, if you become a high-ranking member of the court, how happy will you be?"
Jiang Zimo scratched his head and smiled sarcastically.
He never thought he would have that day.
He still knows his own abilities. Although he knows some words now, if he wants to be a high official, he will definitely be blind.
A little while.
Since then, a group of people have come out of the yamen of Jiedu Envoy's office.
The first few people were all wearing crimson official robes and fish bags on their waists.
Obviously they are all officials of no lower than sixth grade.
All of them have quite aura.
"Who is Mr. Lu?"
When they arrived at the door, the official at the front, who had a sparse beard on his chin and was probably in his fifties, asked.
Lu Liang took a look at his fish bag, then cupped his hands and said, "I've met Lu Liang, the envoy of Wu Jiedu."
Wu Jianshu, the military governor of Tongchuan County.
In fact, when Lu Fang heard the name Wu Jianshu from Lu Liang, he thought it was quite funny. Wu Jianshu, since he has no achievements, why should he be an official?
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Wu Jianshu and all the officials around him looked at Lu Liang.
Wu Jianshu's eyes were full of admiration, and he continued: "Master Lu is really a young talent! I have been an official for many years, and it is unheard of, unheard of, for someone to achieve such an achievement at Master Lu's age!"
"What Master Jieduzhi said is true!"
"Compared to Mr. Lu, we are all old bones!"
The other officials agreed one after another.
"My lords, you have given me too much praise. It is all because of the imperial court's praise. I am very frightened when I am young."
Lu Liang cupped his hands and said again.
Of course this is all polite.
But I have to say that the words of Wu Jianshu and others are somewhat heartfelt.
In the entire Great Chongqing Dynasty, it was really rare for someone to reach the fourth rank of officialdom at Lu Liang's age.
Lu Liang's low profile and self-proclaimed "late birth" undoubtedly made Wu Jianshu and others smile even more intensely.
Young and energetic, before Lu Liang came, they were worried that Lu Liang would be a thorn in their side.
If this guy really doesn't follow the rules and is not afraid of anything, he will turn Tongchuan County upside down, and they will also have a headache.
After all, Lu Liang only needs to be responsible for suppressing bandits. But they also have to take into account the overall situation of Tongchuan County.
Lu Liang dug a hole in Tongchuan County, and they will be the ones wiping the butt.
