Chapter 259 Ding Yin Innovation
Capital, Outer City, Maji Inn.
On the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of the third month, the three major exams have been completed, and the results will be released until April 15th, which is a full month. It is the happiest time for the candidates waiting for the results in Beijing. They may call friends, or two or three confidants, and have a chat room together, go outings in the suburbs of Beijing, enjoy music in the theater, and get drunk in brothels. It is indescribable to feel relaxed and comfortable.
Dai Duo was not interested in playing and playing. He did not perform well on the spot and had no hope of becoming the top scorer. He went home and entered the official position as a juren. Why was he unwilling to accept it? Before the exam, he was full of confidence and bold words. At this time, he returned to his hometown in shame and had a look of glory. [.]
After thinking about it, I wanted to find a place to go in the capital to wait for the next exam.
After being alone in the inn for a few days, Dai Duo was unable to come up with a proper place. However, Yu Hongtu smiled and pushed the door in and said with a smile: "The unsatisfactory things in life are nothing more than the fact that the current academic performance is not going well. Why is Brother Zhigao so decadent? Let's go and drink a few cups for you to relieve your worries after getting drunk."
"Why is it as unbearable as you think?" Dai Duo got up and smiled: "These few days I have been thinking about how to stay in Beijing and wait for my junior college. Since Brother Lin is an addicted to alcohol, I should accompany you."
"It's a pity that Brother Li Wei went to Jiangnan, otherwise wouldn't it be nice to drink with the three of them?" Yu Hongtu said regretfully.
Li Wei and Dai Duo were slightly stunned, but his heart was moved. The court had been busy with the prosperity of Kangxi recently. He never added a tribute and was very troubled. Why not learn from Li Wei, and innovate Ding Yin and find a prince to surrender. This is a shortcut!
With a certain plan, Dai Duo found the Beijing News in the next few days and read carefully the "Great Times of Prosperity, Never Added Taxes, Imperials, and Memorials from the ministers on this issue.
After reading it, he was already very proud of the "prosperous times of Kangxi, and never added taxes. It only fixed the number of people in the country, but did not involve the various disadvantages inherent in the Dingyin system.
Thinking about the fact that Li Wei talked about last time that he spread the dirt into the fields and soil, he could try it out when the number of people in the country is fixed. Then, officials and gentry can also try it out. Anyway, it is used as a stepping stone. Even if it offends the gentry, it has nothing to do with him.
Dai Duo was born in a poor family and was the only juren in the village. He was very familiar with the taxes, corvee service, and dying silver collections in the court. Since he had made up his mind, he immediately took action and investigated the "one-whip law" before, and visited and learned about the taxes, corvee service, and dying silver collections in northern provinces.
After thinking about everything for two days, Dai Duo buried his head in sorting out and writing for a day, the initial framework of "spending a dime into a mu" emerged.
After writing the "Stand up the diary, Dai Duo thought about whom he would go. The princes who were competing for the throne were naturally the first choice for the 14th Master to be rich, and he came up with the idea of reform. The Fourteenth Master probably would not adopt this innovation that offended the gentry in the world, and even if he could adopt it, he would not be valued under the 14th Master.
It is said that it is better to be a chicken's mouth than a queen. Since you are surrendering, you naturally have to choose someone who can value yourself. The Eighth Master is now in the government and the Eighth Master Party is very powerful and he is in charge of the industrial and commercial tax reform in the capital, which is not worthy of attention. The Third Master is a literati leader and his subordinates are all famous literati. What is the point of relying on him as a young juren?
Then there is only the Fourth Master. It is rumored that the Fourth Master is cold-hearted and harsh in dealing with others. He is known as the "cold-faced king". Moreover, he has never heard of an outstanding scholar under his disciples. This is a good candidate, but I don't know that he is interested in Ding Yin's innovation? It's okay, you can tell at a try, just how can you meet the Fourth Master?
The inner city is very cautious, and it is not something that ordinary people can enter and exit casually. Fortunately, Dai Duo is an exam-taking juren. Under the name of visiting relatives and friends, the guards of the gate did not dare to make things difficult for him. After entering the inner city easily, he had no good idea. He went directly to the Fourth Master's Prince Yong's mansion and submitted a message to him. There were very few visitors to Prince Yong's mansion, and the gatekeeper did not make things difficult for him and directly reported it.
He heard that he was famous for his current exam exam and asked for an interview. He claimed that he had a way to reform the Dingyin system. Yin couldn't help but feel strange. He was known for his coldness, but he even hit a wooden bell and hit him. This was really rare. However, the reform of the Dingyin system made him quite moved.
Last time, Yin advised that Spain would allow the invasion of the Spanish fleet to rent land and trade in Taiwan, but it was a mess. He thought that the impression left in Kangxi was not very good, and he was eager to save it. The breeding population issued by Kangxi would never increase taxes, which was criticized. The reform of the Dingyin system is the best at present.
After thinking for a moment, Yin ordered: "Take him in."
When Dai Duo heard that Yin was willing to see him, he was both excited and nervous. This move was right. Yin was indeed interested in the reform of Ding Yin's system. Under the guidance of his servant, he entered the living room. Dai Duo was not familiar with the etiquette, so he bowed and said, "Student, Dai Duo from Anhui and Prefecture have met the prince."
Seeing that he was ignorant, Yin felt a little disappointed. This person was just a crazy person who had never seen the world. After a while, he looked at him and saw that he was only thirty years old. Although he looked a little thin, his body was still tall, his face was a little longer, and he looked a little weak. His eyes were dark and crystal clear, which added a lot of spirit.
Seeing Dai Duo staring at him with eyes fixed on him, Yin couldn't help but put away his contempt. With this courage and calmness, Luo Tuo's disciple should not be underestimated. He pondered slightly before he asked, "Is it not going well for the Spring Festival in the current year?"
"The prince is clear." Dai Duo did not hide it and said bluntly: "There is no hope of making a mistake on the spot."
Seeing that he said frankly and frankly, Yin Dasheng had a good impression of him and did not go around the circle, he asked directly: "Tax, the Dingyin system is the foundation of the country, how can you speak of innovation lightly? Why do you have the idea of reforming the Dingyin system on weekdays? How can you find me here?"
"Good birds choose trees to live on, and scholars fight for their confidants. The prince is known for being upright and bold. Ding Yin innovates and directly contacts the interests of the gentry. Only those who are determined, decisive, and solemn and selfless as the prince can be competent." Dai Duo said jokingly: "Students come from poor families and are well aware of the disadvantages of the complexity of taxes and labor. Since the emperor has fixed the number of people in the country, Ding Yin has great potential. If they can be promoted, they will benefit the people of the world!"
Yin nodded secretly when he heard this. Dai Duo was just talking directly, and he pointed out that Ding Yin's innovation was an offensive to the gentry in the world. He found the reason for his subordinates, and he also saw that he was not afraid of offending others. He didn't have to worry too much. Let's see what his Ding Yin innovation was and whether it could be favored by Kangxi.
Thinking of this, Yin's face turned very gentle, and he said warmly: "Sit down and say." Then he ordered: "Give tea."
When Dai Duo saw this, he knew that he had gained Yin's favor. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After thanking him, he sat down calmly.
