Chapter 209: I accidentally discovered that I have fans
The mixed grain cakes baked by the Ye family maid and cooked millet porridge, stir-fry a bowl of radish, and stewed another chicken to greet Wang Yuan.
The veterans from Wang Yuan cooked and worked hard all the way, and the food was not bad.
I cooked the bacon I brought, baked pancakes on the fire, and cooked another pot of egg soup, and the fragrance wafted out of the yard!
Many children gathered around the door to swallow saliva, and there were also leaves leftovers!
"Today I'm going to entertain distinguished guests, there's no share of meat for you, hurry up and go home!"
Ye Tian waved his hand to the children, looked at Wang Yuan and smiled: "The countryside is poor, and children are attracted by greed when they cook meat. Each person gives a small piece of meat!"
The children turned their heads reluctantly, and Wang Yuan waved to Ye Gou Sheng: "Do you want to eat meat?"
Ye Gousheng shook his head while swallowing his saliva. Seeing Wang Yuan smiling at him, he blushed and lowered his head: "I want to!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Let your friends line up, everyone will have meat to eat later!"
"Thank you, Mr.!"
Ye Gouyuan ran away and organized the children at the door and started queuing up!
Wang Yuan said to the veteran who was cooking: "Cook two more pieces of meat, bake more cakes, and give these children a rouxjiamo!"
The veteran who was cooking quickly went to prepare!
Ye Tian looked at it and smiled, "Brother Yuan, you are so kind!"
Wang Yuan smiled: "Your family has 500 acres of land, so you are willing to collect 40% or 50% of the rent. You also need to eat radish at night and eat meat every meal!"
It’s not that he is so kind, but that he was in a society with no shortage of food and clothing in his previous life, and he received traditional Confucian education, which made him look like a child starving.
Ye Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I charge 20% of the rent, and the villagers can't survive anymore, let alone 40% or 50%!"
Wang Yuan said curiously: "Then how much grain is your government collect per acre!"
"We are close to the county town, and the taxes are sent by the government office to collect them, each acre of one dou of grain!"
Ye Tian said: "But if you don't collect food, the prefect will collect money!"
"No wonder?"
Wang Yuan frowned!
There are many tricks in this if you don’t collect grain and money.
Once the money is collected, the common people will sell grain and pay taxes, so grain merchants will naturally take the opportunity to lower the price.
Originally, it was sold for three cents per pound, but the government still paid for three cents per pound.
This way the tax will be several times heavier!
"If you just collect money, the villagers can barely live a life!"
Ye Tian sighed: "The most amazing thing is miscellaneous taxes!"
Wang Yuan frowned: "How many miscellaneous taxes do you charge!"
The former county magistrate of Fu County also collected miscellaneous taxes and collected five kinds of taxes, which made the people suffer.
“More than thirty!”
Ye Tian frowned: "There is a tax to kill chickens when they kill chickens, and the tax to kill pigs when they kill pigs, and the tax to kill sheep when they kill sheep. A woman who doesn't marry from thirteen to thirty will receive taxes for unmarried people when they don't marry, and a man who doesn't marry will receive taxes for unmarried people when they don't marry.
Taxes for not marrying are collected for ancestor worship during festivals and festivals, and taxes for more children at home..."
“…”
Listening to the many kinds of taxation, Wang Yuan's heart was filled with anger: "Who is so shameless, can you come up with so many tax collection tricks and let the people live!"
"Pei Xianzheng, the governor of Longnan!"
Ye Tian snorted: "Where do ordinary people care about life or death? He only cares about the Ministry of Personnel's assessment! As long as the Ministry of Personnel's assessment is Class A, he can be promoted and made a fortune after his term of office. It is also Mr. Mingtan who is very powerful and has won the He County.
The Blue-faced Beast rebelled and demoted him."
Big Tiger, a teenager in the guard team, black armor, and retired veterans were all unconsciously raising their heads and chests, looking very arrogant!
When Wang Yuan heard someone praise him in person, he felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "Brother Ye praised him. Wang Mingtan may not have real skills, otherwise the court would not not use him!"
His words are well-known, but only acquaintances know his real name.
As for the strategy, they were all classic Chinese cases that I used to watch short videos in my previous life!
It's not that he is so smart!
"Brother Yuan, be careful of your words!"
Ye Tian looked stern and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Mingtan is a literary and martial arts strategy, and his martial arts can defeat the cavalry of 100,000 people in the desert. His literary style can write "Mingtan four sentences", "Manjianghong", "Send Zhao to the people's style."
The city is a genius of the world."
"Ahem!"
Wang Yuan frowned: "It was the young marshal who defeated the deserter, not Mr. Mingtan!"
Where did this guy hear the rumor of the wind, he actually knew about Jiushan County!
"It is true that the young marshal made a contribution, but his great contribution belonged to Mr. Mingtan. This was told by a deserter who passed by begging for me!"
Ye Tian lowered his voice: "It's a pity that the treacherous ministers in the court were in power and blinded the holy hearing, and never took Mr. Mingtan. It's really heartbreaking. I don't know how Mr. Mingtan is doing now, and whether he is discouraged!"
The big tiger, the guards, the black armor, and the veterans in the distance were laughing.
Seeing that the other person is really in contact, Wang Yuan said with a tough forehead: "You don't have to worry. If Mr. Mingtan is really capable, he would not be beaten by this setback!"
“This setback?
Do you know what it means to scholars never use it!”
He gave Wang Yuan a blank look, and Ye Tian clasped his fists and sighed: "Brother Yuan, I am not angry with you, but I am just angry about Mr. Mingtan. You are a businessman from Fu County. Do you know where Mr. Mingtan is in Fu County? I want to
Go and visit him!"
Wang Yuan got goosebumps all over his body: "You want to chase stars?"
"Star chase?"
Ye Tian was surprised and heard Wang Yuan explain his meaning, and couldn't help but laugh: "If you say chasing stars, it's nothing wrong. What we scholars are pursuing is to establish our minds for the world, establish our destiny for life, inherit our unique knowledge for the past sages, and open our lives for the world.
Taiping. We can’t do these things, but Mr. Mingtan has done them. What’s the point where we chase him?”
"Ahem!"
Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I am a businessman. I don't know much about scholars and don't know where his home furnishings are. Or, wait for me to come back from Zhoucheng in a month and go with me to Fuxian with me. I'll ask for help.
!”
"Then it's just a matter of determination!"
Ye Tian clasped his fists and smiled brightly!
"My husband, please call Mr. Yuan for dinner, otherwise the food will be cold!"
At this moment, the pretty woman pulled the little boy out and called softly.
"good!"
Ye Tian waved his hand: "Brother Yuan, please!"
"Hold on!"
When he arrived at the veteran who was cooking, Wang Yuan picked up the prepared roujiamo basket and came outside the door!
There were many children standing in line at the door, looking at each other with their eyes wide open.
"Give!"
Wang Yuan started to deliver Roujiamo!
Many children immediately hugged them in their arms and swallowed their saliva and ran away!
There are also some children who get the Roujiamo and suck it into their mouths.
Ye Gouyuan was at the last line, got a Roujiamo, immediately put it in his arms, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master!"
"stand up!"
Wang Yuan pulled Ye Gouyuan and quietly stuffed the two useless money into his hands: "Don't let people see it, hurry up and go back!"
"Young Master, your great kindness will be rewarded in the next life!"
As he learned the words in the play, Ye Gouzuo touched his tears and turned around and ran away quickly.
When he ran to the entrance of the village, Ye Gouzu narrowed his eyes and hid in a corner and dared not move!
In the dark night, a group of masters wearing government touched the village under the leadership of the elders.
Ye Gousheng wanted to leave tremblingly, but when he heard someone ask them, "Is the Wang surnamed come to this village?", he couldn't help but touch it quietly.
