Chapter 898: Talk about no old friends (7)

Horses that pull carts, horses that plow fields, horses that carry goods, horses that act as postmen, are even worse, and can only be used as meat horses.

Horses from the people are almost all used for production and life, and there is no need to rely too much on military expectations. Even the best war horse seedlings will be completely abandoned if they are placed in the people for less than a year. They are almost the same as the Zhouyu horses raised on islands in Fujian in the south - Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Xinghua Army on the outer islands, there are a total of more than ten pastures, but horses that are slaughtered are good for making post horses.

After all, it is no longer the era when all the young men in Wuling can cross the horse and range.

Han Gang threw the annoying information aside.

Now, no matter how high or low the imperial court is, it is necessary to be a horse. There is always a place that can be used. If it is really useless, it can be sold. An official can be transferred to a certain position if he gets three thousand horses. An official who is in charge of the horse government on Xihe Road can be transferred three or five times in a term. If it is a survey, it will take three years to relocate once! Among the middle and low-level officials of the Group and the Pastoral Department, the most popular dispatch is in Xihe and Guangxi. If it were other yamen, how could such a thing happen?

Because of this policy, the whole group and the clerk department are basically thinking about how to change the official position immediately.

Although Han Gang has only been to the Group Herds Department twice these days, I have heard of some things more or less. The officials below are fiddling with the households and horses, requiring the households to raise horses in each household. The households with households with a household income of 2,000 stag and the households with a household income of 5,000 stag, one horse must be raised. If the household income is doubled, one horse will be added, no more than three horses at most.

Forced wealth to buy horses and raise horses is worse than suppressing the allocation of convenient loans. Convenient loans or Qingmiao Law are to force wealthy families who do not need to borrow money to apply for convenient loans when the loan amounts prepared in the position are not used up, and thus force interest to be obtained. This is the result of local officials' pursuit of political achievements. The old party used this matter to curse and accused the convenience loans of convenient loans that disturb the people, and the court repeatedly banned the matter.

Now, it is forced to raise horses instead of voluntary applications from the horse protection law, which is equivalent to compulsory levy of corvee. And it is a universal levy, at least for the rich households in the north that are suitable for raising horses, such as Kaifeng Prefecture, Beijing East and West, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Hedong. Unlike the market law, it only targets a small number of wealthy merchants; the exemption law, the money collected is a drop in the bucket for the rich, and allows the middle class of the people to be lenient; the convenience loan is not to allow the rich to make money, and it is by no means to grab money directly from the pockets of the rich; even the practical method is essentially to allow the rich to publish the hidden property so that the court can collect taxes fairly - those who can conceal family property are always powerful rich people rather than poor people - which makes sense in law.

The rich should bear more responsibilities. Han Gang absolutely supports this, but it is too ugly to directly levy the food. In the end, the charges will be counted on the New Party and the New Law, which makes Han Gang feel even more uncomfortable. Lu Huiqing is trapped in the practical method now, and no matter how confused he is, he will not cause any trouble. I really don’t know who will take over this action in the end.

It probably won't be Han Zhen.

Han Zhen only tried his words on his side, and Han Gang immediately pushed him back. It was not easy to do anything, Han Gangming said, it would be better to give up early.

When Han Gang heard Han Zhen's tone, he found that he was actually a little unsure. If he didn't get his own support now, he would probably stop.

However, Han Gang knew very well how those lower-level officials were able to do something, but in order to reduce the number of years of investigation, they dared to kill and set fire. It was absolutely impossible for them to give up. They just didn't know who they would instigate to write a letter in the end.

Han Gang sighed. When Wang Anshi was on the stage, he tried his best to "the people do not increase taxes, but the country can only support themselves." The group that has come up now is only concerned with robbing money and grain to earn political achievements.

As a group of herdsmen, matters related to Ma Zheng will inevitably be consulted. Han Gang could not nod and agree to Humafa, so he would definitely object, so he didn't know if he could stop it at that time.

He took a piece of white paper in his hand, and Han Gang wrote the sources of several military horses on the paper in turn. The horse protection method, Qingtang Qiang, Dali, Shayuanjian, and Zhouyu were listed one by one. Looking at it, each has its own shortcomings, and it is difficult to use it.

Han Gang held his pen, frowned, looked at the black and white words, and thought for a while, suddenly he heard someone outside the study shouting: "Longtu! Dragontu! The Fourth Master of the Feng family is here."

Han Gang suddenly came back to his senses and walked out of the study. He saw Feng Congyi standing in front of him, covered in dust and his cloak was covered in gray.

Han Gang widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Brother Yi, why are you here? I received your letter from you in the west of Jingxi Province. Didn't I say that I went to Beijing again after Qingming Festival? Is something wrong with my parents?!"

Feng Congyi was about to salute, but was caught by Han Gang who kept asking questions and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, third brother, it's not my uncle's and aunt's business. I heard that third brother, you have given acne vaccination technique in Longxi, and I heard that the seventh prince died of acne sores, so he immediately set out to the capital."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Han Gang's expression slowed down, "Brother Yi, you are worried, but Brother Yu is fine. The emperor is a wise ruler, how could he blame Brother Yu?"

Han Gang smiled slightly, and went into the study with Feng Congyi and sat down.

"Ah... Yes, the emperor is indeed a wise ruler. So when I walked to Luoyang three days ago, I heard that my third brother was appointed as the same group of herders, so I felt relieved. When I sent the letter back, I couldn't let my uncle and aunt celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." Feng Congyi said with a smile. Seeing the big and thick man coming to serve the tea, he asked, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhong, Brother Zi and others have not come back yet?"

Han Gang said: "It will take a few more days to arrive. Are you okay with your brother Lin and elder sister?"

"All good, you can run or jump. Third brother, your brother and sister are pregnant again, and you will have to give birth in half a year... Now that you have cowpox, you don't have to worry about acne." Feng Congyi looked out the window and leaned closer and whispered: "San brother, since you have magical skills, why didn't you say it earlier? There are no shortages of cows and people on Xihe Road. If you ordered someone to look for them earlier, you might have found them long ago, and maybe you could have found them."

"It's not that easy." Han Gang shook his head, "and said that looking for cowpox on Xihe Road, horse pox! Don't expect anything at all. It's not that there are so many epidemics in the south? Human pox is too harmful to good deeds, and maybe it will cause trouble for descendants. How dare you use it? If Brother Yu hadn't discovered cowpox in Guangxi at the end, he would never mention human pox. After finding cowpox, Brother Yu would have dared to make it public after the test in western Beijing. Without verification, who would have rashly dared to bet on the lives of his children? He wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."

Han Gang's sigh came from the heart. There was no place for cowpox that you could find just by looking for, but when he was about to despair, he happened to find it in Hengshan Village, Yongzhou. "Or otherwise he would have taken it out long ago, and Zhong Ge'er and the others had just taken it for a few days."

Han Gang explained that it was to resolve his family’s suspicion, and some of the knots had to be solved earlier.

After hearing this, Feng Congyi nodded seriously: "So that's what the third brother said is extremely true. It is true that things that damage good deeds and harm descendants cannot be done. Maybe, the old immortal Sun just wants to see if the third brother will do such evil things. If he does it seriously, he will probably directly accept the immortal recipe passed to the third brother."

This is wherever they are. Han Gang was so funny that he couldn't help but talk nonsense. Feng Congyi said, "The court recently established a Health and Health Department in charge of epidemic prevention, disaster relief and people. In the past few days, the Protection Bureau of Chi has been established in Kaifeng, which is responsible for acne vaccination. The vaccination for acne vaccination was also sent to Xihe." His voice was also lowered, "Actually, half a month ago, Brother Yu had sent his confidant to bring acne vaccination to Longxi. It must have been a missed with you on the road with you, Brother Yi."

Hangang is not so poor and generous if you don’t have good things to focus on your family first. And you should make up for it before hiding acne. Although it is only half a month away from the vaccination sent by the imperial court, it gives people a different feeling. I believe that Wang Hou, Zhao Long and others, and even the Hengqu Academy on the way, can feel his sincerity. Wang Shunchen is not in the way, but he also sent his confidants. For example, Li Xin in Guangxi and his in-laws Su Ziyuan, all brought cowpox to take care of - he didn’t want outsiders to save him, but he missed his family. Outsiders laughed at him, but his family was a tragedy.

The day before yesterday, Hangang asked Wu Yan whether to send the vaccinia vaccine to Xihe and Guangxi, but it was just pretending. As the "inventor" of vaccinia, how could he have no extra vaccines in his hands?

Han Gang's words made Feng Congyi, who was rushing to come, completely let go of his mind. He stretched his body regardless of his demeanor, and he smiled at Han Gang, "I almost caught up with the speed of horse delivery after running this trip, and I was almost exhausted and lost."

"Who told you to be so anxious?" Han Gang smiled softly. "I have arranged someone to prepare a meal just now. After dinner, I will have a good rest. I will just wake up."

"Okay, let's see what good food and drinks are there here." Feng Congyi twisted his head on the chair and changed into a comfortable position.

Han Gang smiled and pretended not to see him, and asked, "Are parents okay?"
