Chapter two hundred and sixty-first, will the big man follow in the footsteps of the big week?

"Have you learned it?" Li Yuan asked as he picked up the tea cup.

"It's useless!" Cheng Sanaxe nodded quickly.

"Okay, let's start!"

Li Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "Come on, roll the dice, big or small!"

Then he blew into the palm of his hand and cast two dots!

Qin Mo laughed at that time, "Come on, old man, come to my side!"

Li Yuan said angrily: "What kind of bad luck is this!"

"Don't be ridiculous, there is no big or small on the mahjong table!"

As he said that, he picked up the dice and threw it, and it said ‘six six’!

"Humph, what a piece of luck!" Li Yuan reluctantly sat down below.

Both Li Cungong and Li Cungong's eyes widened, "Idiot, who asked you to take the chief seat?"

"Oh, you two can win if you vote!" Qin Mo said.

Cheng Sanxu picked up the dice. It was really a headache. They couldn't be as ignorant as Qin Mo. If the bet was big, wouldn't that mean they could overwhelm the Supreme Emperor?

If you vote the same as him, aren't you on equal footing?

Li Yuan seemed to have read the two people's thoughts, "You two are also fierce generals in the army. You also drank wine and ate meat with me in a military tent. Why, now you don't dare to throw a dice?"

Are you scared?"

Cheng Sanxu smiled awkwardly, "The Supreme Emperor, I will offend the humble ministers!"

Then it fell by ‘25’!

Li Cungong fell by two or two!

At first, the two couldn't let go, but after a few rounds, they got into the mood.

One dozen lasted all morning, and even lunch was eaten and eaten at the same time.

Later, it was Qin Mo who forced Li Yuan to go offline.

The old man is still reluctant.

"Old man, we have to combine work and rest. Let's go and take you out for a walk!"

Cheng Sanxu and the others suddenly became nervous and kept winking at Qin Mo.

This fool, it’s enough to make people’s heads ache when the Emperor comes to your house, and you take him out. What if something happens to you?

Have you forgotten about being attacked and killed by the remnants of the previous dynasty?

"Uncle Li, Uncle Cheng, let's go for a walk together!" Qin Mo hooked their shoulders and forcefully gave him a lift!

"Walk!"

Li Yuan was also a little excited. He had not been out for many years and could finally see the outside world.

Cheng Sanfu gritted his teeth and said to Qin Mo: "Idiot, if your father is at home, he will definitely have to beat your ass!"

Li Cungong nodded in agreement, "It's still like hanging on a tree and smoking!"

"It's okay, aren't there two uncles here? Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the old man out!"

Li Cungong looked helpless.

Cheng Sanshu slapped him directly, "You brat, leave me a share at the mahjong parlor, otherwise, huh!"

"And me, I want one too!"

Qin Mo said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say you don't want it?"

"Then can we ask for it in person, the Supreme Emperor?" Cheng Sanxu glared at Qin Mo.

"Duplicity!" Qin Mo said with disdain!

"Nonsense, this is called not being able to live with money. It's not like you don't know that I have many sons. In a few days, I will go to ask Xiaobao for grace. It's all money. Hey, it worries me to death. Your money

"More, why don't you lend me one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver first?"

"Okay, let Xiaobao come over and call daddy!" Qin Mo smiled.

"You bastard, you take advantage of me!"

Cheng San gritted his teeth angrily, and Qin Mo quickly ran to Li Yuan's side, immediately making him lose his temper.

"What a fool!" Li Cungong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You're so smart!"

Walking on Chang'an Street, Li Yuan looked at the passers-by and said, "Yes, it has indeed become a lot more prosperous!"

"Old man, this is all due to you!" Qin Mo said with a smile: "If it weren't for you to dominate the world, there would be no prosperity now."

Li Yuan felt very comfortable. If anyone else said this, it would be flattering and flattering.

What came out of Qin Mo's mouth was his grandson-in-law's admiration for his grandfather.

great!

He squinted his eyes, wrinkles rising.

Cheng Sanaxe, followed by Li Cungong one on the left and one on the right, almost vomited.

How can this flatterer be so good at flattering!

"Hey, it's a pity. There is a shortage of food in the world now, and there are still many places where there is no food. I know very well that this cannot be done overnight." Because he was outside the palace, he could not call me "me", he said.

Speaking of 'I', it's quite weird.

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law can do well. I don't have to worry about food and clothing over there. They live frugally and the children also eat relatively simply. But I have seen it in the past. There is no food in many places. They eat tree bark."

, eat Guanyin soil, and even eat it by changing the child!

You are young and don’t understand. Your father has also seen that scene. It was so tragic that people who saw it wanted to cry. At that time, I was thinking that I should work hard to overthrow this dynasty and make sure that all the people have enough to eat!"

Cheng Sanfu and Li Cungong also fell silent. At that time, the whole country was in ruins, and it was indeed miserable everywhere.

"Although taxes have been reduced year after year, there is nothing we can do. The border has never been peaceful. We must fight. If we don't fight, we can't do it. When the time comes, the iron hooves of the prairie people will step into the Central Plains. At that time, they will not exchange their children for food, but kill them all."

, burn it all, steal it all!

Taxes were reduced but taxes were increased. Many people were sent to do corvées and could not come back. The family lost its backbone and the whole family was broken up!"

Qin Mo thought to himself that Li Yuan looked at the problem very deeply. After all, he was the Supreme Emperor.

From ancient times to the present, is it tax that everyone is afraid of?

No, it’s corvée!

If you raise taxes to work for the landlords, you can live even if you are hungry or full.

But whether you can survive after being sent to the corvee depends purely on luck.

It's like you go out to work as a coolie and you bring your own dry food without even earning a penny. It's like the country is using you for free.

Da Gan must serve starting from the age of eighteen, usually for one year and two months.

Military service includes meals and military pay.

It is equivalent to counting labor force into tax.

The ancients were not stupid. Before Qin Mo came to Daqian, he only knew that the landlords oppressed the tenants. Only after he came here did he realize that the tenants had already beaten many people around him.

The so-called prosperous age means that everyone works for the landlord and cultivates the land. Everyone has land to cultivate, and you can afford to pay taxes, marry a wife, and give birth to a few children, isn't it nice?

But in the late dynasty, the population doubled, so why did it collapse?

Because the landlord has no extra land for you to plant.

In Daqian, being a tenant farmer is a lifetime wish for many people, and they must have a son. It is useless to have a daughter. Sooner or later, they have to get married, and if they have a son, they can inherit the position of a tenant farmer, otherwise the landlord can take back the land with just a word.

It’s not about favoring boys over girls, but about solving a series of problems such as social productivity, elderly care, etc.

Just like what was a matriarchal society in the past, and then gradually transformed into a patriarchal society, after the prosperous times, the status of women will inevitably improve.

Then it falls back again, which is a cycle.

"Qin Mo, do you think Da Qian will follow in the footsteps of Da Zhou?" Li Yuan asked.

These words are sharp.

When Qin Mo was about to say no, Li Yuan said: "You are a smart boy. Grandpa knows you are capable. Tell me the truth, will you do it?"
