Actually, it is not surprising that Bai Juyi did receive a letter from his mother a few days ago, but he was crazy during this period. He was disheveled in the dormitory of the school, and wrote randomly on paper whenever he had free time to evade his depression.

His brother Bai Xingjian knew that his brother was hit by this when he heard that Xue Tao, a female school secretary, was leaving and rushed to Yangzhou to marry Han Yu.

So Bai Xingjian didn't urge him and silently stayed by his brother's side.

When Bai Juyi knew that Xue Tao was leaving, he made an appointment with her downstairs in Tianhan, saying that you are a woman, even if you have long letters and slaves, the journey is far and difficult. It just so happened that my father was going to be the governor of Chuzhou, so you might as well go with my family.

薛涛表示了感谢.

Then Xue Tao said to Bai Juyi quietly: "Le Tian, ​​I know that you are not good at your feelings for me. I am too old and have a low background. My parents are all dead, so Lingzun Lingtang will not agree."

Bai Juyi was also miserable. It seemed that he had no intention of denying Xue Tao's words.

"But, why did you agree to marry Han Tuizhi?" Bai Juyi couldn't help but ask.

Xue Tao said, do you think Quan Deyu and Wu Yuanheng often teased me with erotic poems to marry me sincerely? Wrong - Quan Deyu is now a master of imperial edicts, and Wu Yuanheng also returned to the court to become a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They will soon forget me and look for the noble ladies who can help their career. Those are their wives.

I, Xue Tao, have some talented names and some beautiful names. They are curious about me, and then chase me out of the nature of a man, butterfly. If I really indulge in it and can't see myself clearly, that would be really stupid.

What's wrong with Han Yu? Although he has no power, Wu and his two smart and conciseness are because they write well and have a pure temper. If I marry him, I won't feel wronged. What else can a woman hope for in this life? I'm leaving. Who will take over the Xingyuan girl school?

Next, Xue Tao encouraged Bai Juyi and said, when you arrive in the capital this time, you might as well stay and prepare to take the Jinshi examination. As long as you can write a title at the temple pagoda of Dacien Temple, aren’t all kinds of beautiful relatives coming in a flock?

"I won't take the Jinshi exam..." Unexpectedly, Bai Juyi suddenly said this.

薛涛很是惊讶.

"I won't participate..." Bai Juyi repeated in a positive tone, "Why follow the rules and be mediocre? I want to take another path, abandon literature and practice martial arts, enter this Xingyuan Martial Arts Palace, and make a fame on the battlefield in the future, and it will not be in vain to go there in this world."

"Letian, you..." Xue Tao didn't expect that Bai Juyi would suddenly embark on this road, but before she could say anything, Bai Juyi had already bowed and turned around, and then ran towards Taofen Academy. Xue Tao couldn't catch up with him, and was confused.

"Brother, you won't go to Fengzhou? If you don't go, I'll go back." After Bai Xingjian learned the details, he packed his luggage and prepared to leave. As a result, he went around the corridor and came back and asked Bai Juyi who was writing quickly, "Brother, what do you think?"

"The students of the Martial Arts Academy also have a monthly meal and clothes. After I finished my studies, I joined the army, entered the third yamen of the Gao Shaoshi, or went to the Western Regions, so I would not have to worry about not having the opportunity to become famous." Bai Juyi did not look back.

Bai Xingjian nodded and said, "I will know then, and I will go back and say to my father and mother."

As a result, when Bai Xingjian came to the Fengzhou official house and said that my brother had a conversation with Xue Xue Shu, he suddenly turned his pen to join the army and went to the Martial Arts Palace to study.

Before Bai Jigeng could say anything, Bai Juyi's mother Chen suddenly cried from the official house, her voice was very shrill. Then she called Xue Tao, a slut, who had used some magic to deceive my son. She was so precocious young man that he actually went to learn the Xunge family's activities.

Bai's mother, Chen, has a heart disease, which is what we call mental illness. When we are fine, we are gentle and often teach a few sons' writing literature, but once it occurs, it is like this.

In particular, she and her husband Bai Jigeng are a combination of niece and uncle, and are not tolerated by secular ethics. Even Tang Law stipulates that "the law firm must prohibit the marriage of uncle and nephew." Therefore, Chen's mental and psychological pressure has always been extremely great, and he dared not even show up in public, and his heart disease is getting worse every year.

Finally, thanks to Bai Jigeng and Bai Juyi's grandmother Chen Baishi (actually Bai Jigeng's sister, and her husband Chen Run had been living in the Bai family after his death). Chen's face turned to the sky, his body trembled, and his emotions gradually calmed down. Then he just cried and said that my Juyi and my Juyi would be hard to see him from now on.

Xing Jian kept bowing outside the corridor and did not dare to make a sound.

Soon Bai Jigeng walked out and sighed to his son Xing Jian. In the letter, Ju Yi asked me to take Xue Zaishu to Yangzhou together, but I dare not, because this would make your mother's condition worse. I almost got a group of scheming soldiers from Hechicheng, giving them salary and asking them to escort Xue Zaishu to Yangzhou from another road to Jiangdu, Yangzhou.

After saying that, the sixty-six-year-old Bai Jigeng felt exhausted and returned to the hall, sighing.

In the end, the Bai family set off from Chencang Road.

The tactful Xue Tao spent some days taking the Han River and preparing to walk on Xiangyang, then take Luyang Road and go to the Central Plains to go to the destination.

About the beginning of the Xia Taxation, Gao Yue's team sailed on Caishui by boat, then entered Chenzhou, and then returned to Caizhou Runan City.

The officials from Yangziliu Backyard and Shoulu Inspection Court who received Gao Yue's literary certificate rushed to the city before and prepared to listen to Gao Yue's governance plan.

On the seat, Liu Zongyuan, Pei Du, Ouyang Zhan, Han Yu and others were also focused on it, wanting to hear what Gao Yue had intellectual insights.

Sure enough, the first sentence Gao Yue said was very amazing:

"In the summer, taxes were collected in Huainan states. Originally, Bendao had thought that 80% of the levies such as rice and silk were collected, and 20% of the levies were collected. However, Sima Gu Bowen (Gu Xiu) of the Governor's Office once wrote to criticize Bendao, saying such words were unrealistic. Then, after a slight reform, the summer tax was collected immediately. The tax money of households in Huainan was paid in cloth, and 30% of them were paid in cash. In autumn, the harvest of hukou rice and all the food was collected."

"Does Caizhou and the people of Guangzhou really want to collect it?" Han Yu asked.

Gao Yue nodded and said of course he would be levied. Yingzhou was the only one who had previously stated that tax exemption was exempted (now Gao Yue asked his brother-in-law Cui Shu to be the governor), and Caizhou and Guangzhou were not exempted.

"But these two places have just suffered wars, and the people are unable to pay taxes or even farm. If a famine breaks out next year..." Liu Zongyuan was worried.

Gao Yue was confident in this regard and said: "The people who are strong and have no land will be paid, and the people who are not well-known will be recruited into the ranks of equity soldiers, and are ready to dig the chickens' crane. The people who have land but have no money to plow and weave will also borrow seeds, farm tools, and oxen from our town. They will not have to pay taxes at first. When the taxes that should be paid and the debts owed will be paid together in the coming year, and there will be no interest payments."
