Section 149: Pay the Grain Tax

[Asking for monthly tickets, crazy asking for monthly tickets]

Polenta, corn tortillas.

It was made in front of Wang Jishan, and the cook responsible for making it was personally instructed by Li Yuanxing from the beginning of corn grinding.

Wang Jishan had many things to discuss with Li Yuanxing, not because of the yield per mu, but because Li Yuanxing said that the income of the Wang family in Taiyuan could be increased tenfold.

Ten times more?

A tenfold increase in income is equivalent to an extra twenty years of accumulation for the Taiyuan Wang family. Can this not be said to be a lot?

So, what does Li Yuanxing want? Nothing can be obtained out of thin air.

But at this time, it seemed that this was not the time to ask these questions. Instead, Wang Jishan calmed down and thought to himself that although Li Yuanxing was young, he was also a very smart person. He had successfully made his heart confused.

And he successfully seduced himself. What's even more frightening is that he actually gave himself enough time to think.

This thinking is like a fish struggling in a net. The more it struggles, the tighter it becomes.

The same goes for the Wang family now. The more he thinks about this tenfold profit, the more he, as the head of the Wang family, wants to talk to Li Yuanxing. On the contrary, if this news spreads to the Wang family like this, the elders of the Wang family will gather in Chang'an.

, I have to give myself an explanation.

King Qin, the terrifying young King Qin.

"Try it, Mr. Wang!" Li Yuanxing personally placed the bowl in front of Wang Jishan.

Delicious, whether it is porridge or cake, it is sweet and delicious. This kind of food can be called good food.

"Eight thousand kilograms of refined grain." Li Yuanxing spoke at this time: "Mr. Wang brought seven thousand kilograms of refined grain and brought twelve acres of corn here. I, Li Yuanxing, will teach you the Wang family completely how to grow corn. Although

I can’t guarantee a yield of 700 per mu, but I can still guarantee a yield of 500 per mu!”

The seed was given so easily.

Eight thousand kilograms can be used to plant more than 10,000 acres. If the seeds are properly preserved, the next year will be 100,000 acres, or even more.

"Li Zheng, twelve acres. You can mark it out first." Li Yuanxing gave instructions to Li Zheng.

Wang Jishan smiled and said: "Wu Lang is really generous, let's do it like this. Ten thousand kilograms of fine grain, one hundred sheep, one hundred dolphins, and ten cows. Just think of it as supporting the children of this farm to study hard."

!”

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing really didn't care about this little money. "Let's mark the land tomorrow!"

Wang Jishan also said to the old servant beside him: "Tomorrow, the fine grain will be shipped. If it is not enough, add 20% silver and send it!" It doesn't matter if it is exchanged for money. Wang Jishan said that he would be the first to exchange it for seeds.

This is a new family, but it will definitely not be the last one. All seven of the family’s seven gates will also be changed.

Visual inspection shows that the Tang corn area in Li Yuanxing is at least 3,000 acres, or even more.

It seems that within three years, the grain output of Qinwangzhuang will be enough for the entire Chang'an, and there will even be a large surplus.

"Mr. Wang, how about having a cup of tea at the village? My tea is light, but it has a unique taste!" Li Yuanxing invited Wang Jishan back to the village to talk about business, which naturally cannot be done in the fields.

"Qinwang tea has a unique flavor, you should taste it yourself!" Wang Jishan called Li Yuanxing's unique way of drinking tea for the Tang Dynasty, Qinwang tea. Li Yuanxing said quickly: "Actually, the tea leaves are the same tea leaves, just in different ways. If you like

If so, this method of making tea can also be known to the world, and it would be more appropriate to call it Tang Tea!"

Wang Jishan smiled and nodded.

Everyone in Chang'an knows that King Qin doesn't love money. But when you think about it carefully, it's more accurate to say that King Qin doesn't like this little money. King Qin will never make a move for less than a million dollars.

Li Yuanxing's carriage was too small, and Wang Jishan did not think he was suitable to ride in a carriage with Qin King Li Yuanxing.

In the fields, you can call him Wulang.

But when you enter Qin Wangzhuang, you should naturally be called the King of Qin.

As soon as I approached Qin Wangzhuang, I heard shouts inside, which seemed to be killing, but also seemed to be fighting.

"Go and have a look!" Li Yuanxing signaled the carriage to turn around. Instead of going directly to his reception room, he headed in the direction where the shouts of death came from. He got off the carriage far away and approached on foot.

Wang Jishan followed him, just out of curiosity.

The east martial arts arena in Qinwangzhuang was crowded with people on three floors and three floors outside. The shouts were louder than the waves.

Seeing Li Yuanxing appear, the sergeants immediately gave way, but they were still shouting even though they were further away from Li Yuanxing.

At the edge of the city, Wu Zhao sat on Su An's shoulder and waved the small flag in his hand. Because of the distance, her shouting voice could not be heard at all. Looking at Wu Zhao's arm, there was a white strip of cloth tied on it.

There was a black strip of cloth on the wrist of the old wolf who was pointing at the court and cursing.

On the square field, two teams of people were desperately colliding.

The old wolf screamed and cursed even louder, and I could only hear the old wolf yelling at the fool.

Wu Zhao is really good at playing rugby. Li Yuanxing smiled and pulled over a sergeant and whispered a few words. The sergeant quickly ran to Lao Lang and whispered a few times. Lao Lang gave a few orders when changing players.

Side, false pass, block, pass, underside!

Score!

Old Wolf smiled and gave a military salute to Li Yuanxing from a distance. This action made everyone notice Li Yuanxing.

The whole place fell silent because of Li Yuanxing's appearance. The sergeants didn't know whether what they were doing now would make Li Yuanxing unhappy.

Wu Zhao found Li Yuanxing and pointed at Li Yuanxing with the small flag in his hand: "This is not fair, you can't teach the old wolf black tricks!"

"I'll play with you tomorrow." Li Yuanxing smiled and waved, turned and left.

After Li Yuanxing left about a hundred steps away, the sound of shouting rose up again. Wang Jishan saw that it was the silly girl from the Wu family, but she was not stupid at all this time. And she was far smarter than the three-year-old girl.

Many, it seems that she is commanding the white team.

But Li Yuanxing defeated her with a trick.

"Your Highness King Qin, I wonder what kind of martial arts formation this is?" Wang Jishan asked.

"No, this is a game. Just like polo, it not only relies on physical strength, but also a lot of skills and tactics. The girl likes to have fun, but the sergeants also like it, which is a good thing!"

Li Yuanxing didn't explain the details, and Wang Jishan couldn't ask too many questions.

Arriving at Li Yuanxing's reception room, Li Yuanxing chose Tieguanyin, and he made the tea himself. He and Wang Jishan were the only two people in the room. After pouring the tea, Li Yuanxing said straight to the point: "The Wang family in Taiyuan, pay the grain tax. One-tenth of the tax."

, or two out of ten. This grain tax can be used in grain or money!"

"Scholarships are tax-free!" Wang Jishan replied.

This scholar is a scholar, a scholar among the common people.

It does not refer to scribes or anything else, it is a status, and gentry refers to more than just members of aristocratic families.

Not to mention the big lords of the Seven Surnames and Ten Families, even among nobles like Wei Zheng and Li Jing who wanted to marry into their families, they preferred Shandong gentry and would never intermarry with common people.

"What Mr. Wang is saying is that he is afraid that if he pays taxes, he will be no different from the common people. The gentry are originally a privileged class, so they will never be the same as ordinary people. But Mr. Wang should understand, what does this tax mean? It is just for the sake of appearance.

The problem is easy to solve, but the actual problem cannot be solved."

Li Yuanxing's tone became serious.

Wang Jishan was a great Confucian, and he only read many more books than Li Yuanxing. The only difference was that Li Yuanxing lived in an era of information explosion, and the various kinds of knowledge he absorbed were more complex, and his later generations had deeper insights.

"I want to hear what King Qin has to say!" Wang Jishan's tone was also very serious.

Some things cannot be compromised.

However, the nobles only need to save face and get the privileges they should have, and the rest is secondary.

Li Yuanxing pointed at his feet: "This is the land of Qin. In ancient times, there was Emperor Qin, who dominated the world. But Qin only existed for two generations. After that, the Han Dynasty rose and dominated the world. Anyone who openly offends the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away he is.

A heroic sentence handed down from generation to generation. But the Han Dynasty also perished, the Three Kingdoms were in chaos, and the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. It can be said that a dynasty that lasted for a hundred years and a family that lasted for a thousand years!"

When Li Yuanxing said this, Wang Jishan stood up with a pale face.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Don't be afraid, I, the king, discussed the rebellion together in front of my brother. Why did there be rebellion? Why did the Great Sui Dynasty perish?"

Wang Jishan was really scared because who dared to discuss the demise of the dynasty.

What's more, Li Yuanxing's words, "A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family" are heart-wrenching words.

"Actually, rebellion is like setting fire. Setting fire in a forest of dead trees is completely different from setting fire in a forest after rain." Li Yuanxing continued, and Wang Jishan even wanted to run away.

If these words spread, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the entire Wang family in Taiyuan. These are words that would kill the family.

"You are afraid, why are you afraid? In your heart, you still dare not fight against the imperial power, that's why you are afraid. But, I say this, you touch your chest and ask yourself. What will you do if you are in a hurry? The rabbit bites when it is in a hurry.

People and dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious!"

As soon as Wang Jishan sat down on the chair, he was already sweating profusely.

Everything Li Yuanxing said made sense, even if it was forbidden, it was still true.

"The Han Dynasty was destroyed on the land enclosed by aristocratic families!" Li Yuanxing said harshly again: "Because the aristocratic families enclosed the land, the common people had no land to cultivate. The Han Dynasty also had no taxes to collect, so the Han Dynasty was destroyed.

I would like to ask Mr. Wang, does your Taiyuan Wang family know how to enclose and occupy land? How much wasteland was there during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty!"

Wang Jishan was speechless. He did not dare to say anything because any word would be a serious crime of beheading.

Even if the Wang family is not afraid of the Li family's imminent cruelty, he is personally afraid. Killing one of them does not mean the death of the Taiyuan Wang family. Therefore, the other aristocratic families will protect the Wang family, but they will not risk everything to protect him.

"You are afraid. You must be very afraid in your heart. In a word, you know that the Han Dynasty is encircling the land and subjugating the country. Don't others know? To put it bluntly, you know that such a contradiction will cause a crisis for the family and the imperial power. So,

Why has no one ever solved it? Is it just because I am a scholar or a commoner?"

Wang Jishan let out a long breath: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I am convinced! ... But the grain tax will never be paid!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
