I don’t know when this era started, but it seems to be more like the traditional rules for collecting grain taxes. It is not a law of the Tang Dynasty, nor a rule of the county government.
But it was really the rules for harvesting grain, so the village chief didn't react at all.
The yamen servant knelt down in front of the village chief because Magistrate Du had previously told him not to fight when collecting grain tax today because it was a tax collected from King Qin's farm.
At this time, Magistrate Du also turned pale, his hands were trembling a little, and he looked at Li Yuanxing timidly. Magistrate Du was really afraid that Li Yuanxing would get angry, so he carefully looked at Li Yuanxing's expression.
Li Yuanxing was very calm: "I've heard about kick fighting before, but I saw it with my own eyes today." Noticing Magistrate Du's nervous expression, Li Yuanxing patted him on the shoulder. This pat almost caused Magistrate Du to lose his bowl.
He threw them all away, but heard Li Yuanxing say: "I'm not angry, don't be nervous!"
Aren't you nervous? Magistrate Du's soul was almost gone. Just now it really felt like he had been slapped.
All the laughter in the entire courtyard stopped, and the children were hugged by adults, and some even covered their mouths.
Li Yuanxing walked up to the yamen official and said, "Have you ever calculated how much it costs to collect grain taxes, your shipping costs, storage fees, and the loss of grains?"
"Go back, go back, go back!" The yamen servant said three times in a row without finishing the next sentence.
However, Magistrate Du had come to his senses now, and it seemed that His Highness King Qin really didn't look angry, so he came over and replied: "Your Highness, what you said is also different. Chang'an County is close, so the consumption is less.
If it is delivered to the government from a distant county, the maximum rate may be 10%."
"Is half a percent enough in Chang'an County?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"Enough, three points is enough. Because the entire Chang'an County belongs to His Highness, the grain tax collection will be concentrated in a few places, so the transportation consumption is very small." Magistrate Du answered truthfully. Originally, he was calculating,
Don't fight, some county governments will find ways to make up for it.
Li Yuanxing smiled, turned around and said to Li Zheng: "Looking at how nervous everyone is, we should invite a troupe to come over and sing." Then he said to Magistrate Du: "That's it, add half a percent. You can join in by the way."
The seal is sealed by my king. It is better to keep this part of the expenses in an open place."
"Yes, what His Highness said makes sense!"
"I have heard a story before. There was a kicker who kicked the bucket over. In fact, the yamen officer made an unintentional mistake, but the result was very embarrassing. The tax payer could no longer get the food.
.But the rules cannot be broken, so there was a fight and people died."
Li Yuanxing talked about this. If Magistrate Du didn't understand, his job as magistrate would have been in vain.
"The King of Qin is kind and kind. I know that Your Highness has worked hard. I will write a seal when I get back tonight!"
"Just write it here, Qin Wangzhuang will use the seal later. From now on, Chang'an County will add half a percent, so don't fight. It's not easy for the government officials, and it's not easy for the farmers either. If we understand each other, it will be easier to get along with each other in the future!"
Li Yuanxing's few words made the yamen servant burst into tears. He just kept kowtowing and could not utter a single word.
Li Yuanxing gave Li Zheng a wink, and Li Zheng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Each village pays the grain tax and distributes the grain!"
In King Qin's farm, only the first thirty or so villages were responsible for planting corn. The family members of the craftsmen who came later entered the farm too late. When they entered the farm, the corn had already begun to form cobs. Second, Li Zhengli
The old man was also afraid that bad people would sneak in here, so he inspected every household, so he didn't give them any good land.
Open up wasteland, plant some vegetables, and do some chores.
There are only thirty-two villages that really need to pay grain taxes. The first village does not pay taxes. This is Qinwangzhuang's own farming and vegetable land, so it is legal and reasonable not to pay taxes. The second village is a newly moved village with a meritorious family.
You will be tax-free for at least three years here. The remaining thirty-two villages are all calculated on a village-by-village basis, and each has different tax exemptions.
"From the second door of the third village, Lao Bai's family!" Li Zheng rang the bell, the old accountant said, and the head of the third village shouted, and seven or eight strong men rushed over with a shout, the oldest of whom was only forty years old.
The younger ones are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they all have strong muscles.
However, what appeared most was a one-armed young man with blood from his wounds.
Li Yuanxing turned his head and asked Bai Erwa: "That's your brother Sanwa. Didn't I tell you to go to the wounded barracks to report? If you are disabled, do you have me? Why did you just go home!"
"I don't dare to be disobedient. I am going home to see my parents." Bai Erwa quickly explained.
The three village chiefs over there smiled: "Good guys, your family is very happy this year. Two hundred catties of rice, three hundred catties of noodles, one thousand six hundred catties of beans, thirteen guans of money, and four pieces of silk." After reading,
The third village chief shouted loudly: "Look at all the unmarried people in the family. There are still four unmarried people in the Bai family!"
Wow! The courtyard was filled with laughter.
Those rich people in Chang'an City are really insignificant to the nobles. But these two thousand kilograms of grain and thirteen guan of money, to ordinary farmers, it is really like a rich family suddenly appeared among the poor. Who
My family once had more than three thousand pounds of money saved. Who has thousands of kilograms of grain in their warehouse?
There are children in the Bai family who are not yet married. If there is news about this family situation, I guarantee that the matchmaker will break down the door!
After pressing their fingerprints and carrying the grain bag, Bai Sanwa saluted Li Yuanxing from a distance. Li Yuanxing waved. Bai Sanwa happily held the four pieces of silk under one arm and ran away with his family.
Then, there was the next one.
There are more than 10,000 households, when will this be divided?
But looking at the expressions on the faces of the farmers, it seems that they all like this scene of family separation very much. Even if it is for a few days or nights, it is a joy. Just watching this makes me happy.
It was rare to have fun, and there were no entertainment activities in the Tang Dynasty.
It would be a great thing to share food for a few days and make everyone truly happy for a few days.
The farmers in Qinwangzhuang were all happy, and Li Yuanxing was very happy with this joy. I remember that when he first arrived in Datang, Li Yuanxing was heartbroken when he saw these farmers for the first time. The smiles on their faces were so forced, and
At this time, it was a smile that came from the bottom of my heart.
Next year will be better!
Li Yuanxing left quietly, not wanting to affect the joy by leaving.
When he returned to Zhuangzi, the fast horse that went to Chang'an City to deliver the message also came back. The distance was only forty miles, and the King of Qin's first-rate knights could make one and a half round trips in an hour. By now, Li Yuanxing had been delayed at the farm for two hours.
Naturally, people even brought back their replies.
There was only one sentence in Qin Qiong's letter that Lao Lang and Li Chang could trust.
Li Jing's letter said a lot, writing more than 100 words. In the Tang Dynasty, a letter of more than 100 words required five pieces of paper. You must know that people in the Tang Dynasty were economical. They were very good at saving paper and ink.
, so the meaning expressed by more than a hundred words is definitely more than the more than a thousand modern words.
Li Yuanxing was ashamed because he still couldn't understand more than half of the sentences.
Quoting from scriptures, Li Yuanxing had no idea what he was quoting.
But Li Yuanxing would guess. Based on the tone of the letter and the general meaning, Li Yuanxing guessed that Li Jing meant. This is a change for Li Yuanxing. Since he is loyal to the Qin Palace and has given his wealth and life to the Qin Palace, then the corresponding identity
, status should be possessed.
Then, Li Yuanxing felt that there was another meaning.
That is, you, Wu Lang, come first, and after you have overcome the iron mouth of the censor, I, Li Jing, will also try to improve the status of the retainers.
"Er baby, go ask those people in Prince Qin's Mansion who can write invitations to prepare invitations. There will be an important ceremony in Prince Qin's Mansion the day after tomorrow. The king is recruiting retainers, and let them come to watch the ceremony. Who should be invited specifically, let those who can use their brains
Just think about it. Then don’t ask me how to write the invitation!"
Bai Erwa nodded and went in person.
Qin Wangzhuang also has a complete official position system, with the highest official having a long history, and then more than twenty officials with various grades and grades. Until now, Li Yuanxing has not figured out what these officials are responsible for.
In this regard, Li Yuanxing considers himself inferior to Bai Erwa.
Every time he was asked to arrange something, Bai Erwa would definitely find the right person to handle such matters.
Li Yuanxing returned to his study, and he still had a script to write. Li Yuanxing actually thought the original script was pretty good. But as the cabinet master said, should he carve the Chinese character "Datang" on his face?
What is missing is the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty.
The farm has local customs, and so does Lao Lang. In a few days, the ceremony of the retainers will be completed, and Lao Lang will have a grand wedding.
At the same time, Zhao Yande was undergoing a training that was worse than life. Li Chang only said one sentence: "If you can't even kill people, what qualifications do you have to be a secret agent? How dare you say that you have a dark heart? This can only be said to be shameless."
He is so thick that he dares to tell any lies." Li Chang was once the head of Tiance's internal security guards, so he naturally had his own professionalism.
Wu Zhao absolutely believed in Li Chang's professionalism.
Anyway, she was not the one being punished. She saw Zhao Yande being drilled by more than a dozen sergeants in turn outside the temporary cell. The only content of the drill was to be able to hold a knife. A dozen sergeants used short sticks, and Zhao Yande held it.
If you don't hold back, you will be beaten. If you don't block the short stick, you will be beaten. If you hold the knife incorrectly, you will still be beaten.
If you are slow to respond, you will be beaten. If you pretend to be pitiful and complain, you will be beaten severely.
However, Zhao Yande was pitiful, and there was another one who was even more pitiful. The little Taoist priest was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He really didn't know who the fat man was, but there were only two prisoners here.
The fat man would be worse off than dead, so if it were him, he would probably not be able to live or die.
The little Taoist priest's small eyes were constantly observing. He suppressed the strong fear in his heart and tried to calm down. Soon he discovered that the person sitting on the strange chair had power here.
But the three-year-old girl seemed to have a bigger background. Because when the man on the chair gave orders, he couldn't help but glance at the three-year-old girl.
"A certain person is loyal, smart, and knows how to do things." The little Taoist priest screamed, trying to attract Wu Zhao's attention. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
