Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 274 I feel like hell too
During dinner, Shu Yingtong and Hu Yang ordered two bookshelves and two tables and stools for playing chess in the rest area of ​​Muchu Pavilion.

There is still a lot of work in the carpentry workshop, Populus euphratica left after eating, and the Twelve Foods dinner market entered its peak period, Zhu Yu was full of energy and devoted herself to her big money-making plan.

The last golden ray of the sun descended from the hills in the west, Shu Yingtong moved a stool and sat at the table with his chin propped up, carefully looking at the map dug out from Jing Yunyan's bag.

The map is very large, almost taking up the entire desk, and the corners and creases have been worn out, but it does not affect the reading.

This is the first time she has seen a national map. The drawing is a bit rough, only the general direction of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and the larger state capitals are marked.

A small county like Yuan County is not even worthy of the nomination.

Some small flag-shaped icons are marked on the map, and some depth lines have been added.

Jing Yunyan was taken aback when he entered the door with a plate of cleaned loquats, and then smiled relievedly, "Why did you find this out?"

"I saw it by accident when I was packing my bags. According to the law, the two of us can probably be beheaded." Shu Yingtong stretched out his hand to move the map, and replied casually.

Whether it is a leaked or privately read military defense map, eight heads are not enough to chop off.

Jing Yunyan raised her eyebrows, how could she still laugh at herself?

Others can't see this picture, so it's no big deal for her to look at it, maybe she can get some inspiration from her that he couldn't think of.

He moved a chair to sit next to her. There was no room on the table, so he had to put the plate on his lap.

I picked a big loquat and lowered my head to peel it slowly, "You are so serious, what are you looking at?"

"The drawing is too rough, which means that there are no geographers in this dynasty." She pointed to the section from Fanling City to Yuanxian County, and said with disgust: "When I looked at the map of Jingnan Province, it was all based on imagination."

It seemed that the official road was unimpeded, but in fact they walked quite strenuously at that time, otherwise it would not have taken them more than ten days to find the location of Huanshan Village.

"Geographer?" Jing Yunyan blankly pinched the peeled loquat and fed it into her mouth, then began to peel another loquat.

"Well, Xuemei wants to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, so I would like to be a geographer by the way. Drawing a map of the country, compiling the history, customs, and geography of various places can be regarded as a sublimation of ideals."

The ungrafted loquat tastes rich in the mouth, sour and sweet, a little bigger than longan, with less meat and bigger core.

She stretched her neck and turned her head. His profile, who was earnestly peeling the loquat, looked like a painting. His thick eyelashes drooped obediently. From the bridge of his nose to his chin, the lines carved from ice and jade were smooth. When he was not expressing, he was delicate and sharp.

The plump red lips suddenly curled up in joy, and he raised his head and leaned over to kiss her lips, "It's beautiful, isn't it, does it grow on the tip of your heart?"

"Narcissism is a disease, and it can be cured." She silently reached out to catch the vomited loquat kernels and threw them into the wooden barrel by the wall, and continued to look down at the map, "I just want you to move the trash can over here."

"Ah, I'm so sad..." He pinched the freshly peeled loquat and fed it to her mouth, pinching it aggrievedly.

The loquat juice trickled down to her lips, and she subconsciously licked it.

The soft touch lingered on the fingertips for a moment, his eyes suddenly darkened, he took out the loquat and threw it into the bucket without retreating, he rushed over to lift her chin, pressed his thumb on her lips easily, "I also want to try dessert after dinner."

Shu Yingtong smiled perfunctorily, slapped his hands away, glanced at the plate of loquats that was casually thrown on the table, reached out and grabbed one and shook it in front of him, "Do you know why Zhu Yu is so obsessed with making money? ?”

He leaned on her shoulder and stared resentfully at the loquat dangling in front of his eyes, "Because I was poor before~"

At a time like this, who cares why that idiot likes to make money, it would be too much not to give a kiss!
While peeling the loquats, Shu Yingtong said, "She used to be a farmer, and she couldn't even get enough to eat. Don't you feel sad and sad?"

Loquats that are not fully ripe are not easy to peel. After peeling, the surface is pitted. "The low grain production is one reason, and the more important reason is the exorbitant taxes."

She pinched the loquat and stuffed it into his mouth, watching him frown with satisfaction.

Huanshan Village can be exempted from taxes for four years, but after a few years they still have to pay those heavy taxes.

It would be better if it was a peaceful year, but it would not be a good day to raise taxes in a turbulent year.

She straightened his face and looked into his eyes seriously, "I have to tell you that the peasants have been oppressed for a long time, and they will still revolt. Just like the previous dynasty, the palace gate was broken by local forces."

"It's not the same." Jing Yunyan shook his head, "The former dynasty perished because the royal family was extravagant and the common people had no means of living. Wen Yuan is not a faint king, he is an ambitious king."

If Wen Yuan is a good-for-nothing, they can't afford to pay such a high price to help him to the top.

In this regard, he is very confident.

Shu Yingtong knocked on the map on the table, with a calm expression, "So what, a king who is too poor to support an army doesn't even have the capital to confront the enemy head-on. Are you going to talk about your ambitions under the iron hooves of the invaders? Dignity Only on the edge of the sword."

"The cabinet has proposed to send a province's rations and a province's corvee."

"Wait, who mentioned it?" Shu Yingtong hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt, his face full of doubts.

Is it possible that the one from "The hills and mountains are mountains, and the Sifang praises Taiyue Xianggong" also came here?
Jing Yun didn't understand, so, "It's Mr. Ji Ge. I haven't finished talking yet. Is there anything wrong?"

Shu Yingtong squeezed his brows, "I probably know what you want to say. Do you want to combine the tax and service first, and then combine a province with Ding Yin and a province with corvee. There are still a lot of specific details behind, anyway, the meaning is to simplify the tax and service system. Bar."

Jing Yunyan was shocked, and immediately sat up straight, looking at her in disbelief, "You"

Shu Yingtong waved his hand, and his tone couldn't be described as very happy, "Is it because the treasury is empty, and I suddenly thought of taking a shortcut, not accepting the actual agricultural products, and asking for all to be converted into silver to pay taxes, and not according to the harvest season of the crops, directly harvesting all at once? over?"

"It hasn't officially promulgated how you are"

He stared blankly at her with a look of disdain, and was greatly shocked. This is a secret among secrets. Does she want to be so amazing?
"Don't look at me with such hellish eyes." She propped her chin and snorted lightly, "I also think hell, it really is a parallel world."

After finishing speaking, he poked his forehead, "I'll tell you directly, this method of extending life won't last for many years, and the backlog of disadvantages has accumulated to a certain extent. Once there is a big outbreak, wait for the change of dynasty."

"But I think this policy is light on corvee and low on tax." He was very puzzled.

The Jiang family also hated the extravagance of the previous dynasty when they put the Supreme Emperor on the dragon chair.

Later, after taking control of the government and throwing the government and the opposition, they wantonly built palaces, and it was inevitable that they followed the old path of others.

Now that Wen Yuan has taken over this mess, in order to stabilize the regime, he has expanded the army, and relatively speaking, the expenditure on military pay has also greatly increased.

The payment of agricultural tax to the imperial court required a series of cumbersome weighing, registration, transportation, and storage, and was exploited layer by layer by local officials.

After this change, it will not only make the people less exploited, but also greatly speed up the court's tax collection.

Shu Yingtong flipped his wrist, spread out his palm and raised the silver coins in his hand to him.

"The imperial court makes the taxation clear at a glance. What should the corrupt officials do? They want to run away, but they don't give them fodder. Do corrupt officials become officials to benefit the people? Under bureaucracy, it is inevitable to create their own tax items."
