Warhammer Seal

Chapter 246
"New decree, new decree, all families send a person to the central square of Xinwu City to gather!"

A small official held a gong and beat it again and again to convey Wende's words, ensuring that the new decree he promulgated would be known to every household.

Although Zhendan had the strange bad habit of immutable ancestral law, Wende had never experienced such disturbances.

And this new policy is also very simple.

However, it is not recommended that any political rookie promulgate his own decrees as soon as he comes to power, so most of the decrees issued by Wende are things that he understands very well and has excellent results.

"Talents are divided into mu, production is contracted to households, loans are green and yellow, and taxes are fixed."

The content of just a few sentences has almost emptied all of Wende's historical knowledge reserves. Ordinary Cathay people know every word, but they don't understand what it means when they are connected together, so Wende will of course explain them one by one. .

In the past, the tax in Zhendan was called head tax. This tax doesn't matter what industry you are in, whether you work or not, you have to pay it as long as you are alive.

The so-called sharing of land into mu simply means that people with more land pay more tax, and those with less land pay less tax.

Before the farmer’s income is distributed to the mu, those peasants who are bankrupt and unable to pay the poll tax will often join the landlord’s family in order to make a living, and become the landlord’s tenant or domestic slave. Or the number of domestic slaves to evade taxes.

Haotian Dragon Emperor can't see it, Bing Long Zhaoming can't see it, can't Wen De see it too?
Although this system has affected the interests of the landlords, for Wende, he has never had any good feelings for the landlord class from the beginning to the present, and he does not need to look at the faces of those people when he is an official in Xinwu City.

Household production contracting is an old-fashioned policy. The land is distributed to farmers' families, and they decide how to cultivate by themselves, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm to the greatest extent and reduce Wende's administrative burden.

The green and yellow loan is another historical classic reform system.

When the crops are not yet ripe and the old food has been eaten, Wende will provide a low-interest loan for all civilians to avoid the famine of starving people and the bankruptcy of selling children and daughters.

It is easier to understand the fixed tax. In the past, all regions in Zhendan collected a percentage tax, and a certain percentage of personal labor income had to be used to pay the tax.

With a wave of his hand, Wen De only needs to pay one hundred catties of crops per mu of land, and the extra crops are all owned by the farmers themselves.

Different types of crops have a fixed value. After exceeding the fixed value of the tax, the more you work, the more you get, and there are no exorbitant taxes.

As soon as these four decrees were promulgated, Lin Yuxia even started to look at Wende directly. Maybe this guy really has a lot of management experience, so it's no wonder that her father can become friends with him.

But she has more than a thousand volumes of poems and books in her stomach, and of course she can see the disadvantages of Wende's policy at a glance.

"The policy is good, the disadvantages are in the present, and it is good for the future. Let me just say it directly. These policies require a lot of financial support. Where do you get the money from?"

While Wende and Ruixi were changing clothes in the room, and put a set of strange armor on Zhuoyu. Seeing Lin Yuxia who pushed the door and entered, Wende suddenly realized.

"By the way, and you, let's go, let's go together."

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Yuxia had just had a slight liking for Wen De, so of course she wouldn't just go wherever she said she wanted to go.

Wen De spoke directly without shame, and even expressed his thoughts openly.

"Don't you know that I'm short of money? We're going to touch gold, let's go together. You are a Shushan Ratman, and you have a lot of familiarity with tunnels and other buildings."

The so-called "touching gold" is an ancient slang term in Zhendan. I didn't expect Wende, an outsider, to know it so clearly.

"Go touch gold and rob graves? No, it's immoral."

"Okay then, let's go on like this according to the old tradition. I'm just a county magistrate. I have nothing to do with the life of the people in Xinwu City. Goodbye."

Wen De didn't expect Lin Yuxia to directly join the direct team. After calling it out, if she doesn't join the team, it's not easy to force her.

And with Rui Xi and Zhuo Yu around, tomb robbery is not an easy task.

Rushing directly past Lin Yuxia, Wende and Ruixi walked out of the county government office with hoes on their shoulders, and reached the largest cemetery outside the city in the dark.

It is said that an ancient dragonborn was buried here, just like the giant dragon. After his death, he was buried with him with a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and rare objects as funeral objects.

Everyone only knew that he was buried outside Xinwu City, but after so many years, even the Ratmen of the Aixin clan who dug a hole here couldn't find the exact location.

But Wende is not worried, Burning Feather can finally display her true ability.

The giant dragons can sense each other's breath, even if they have been turned into bones, they can clearly know the location.

Of course, other dragonborn would not do such a thing as tomb robbery, but a guy like Wende with artificial moral standards can really do anything.

Burning Feather walked in the front, lying on the ground and smelling the smell of the soil, making marks while walking.

The scope is gradually shrinking, and slowly there is only one acre of land.

It seems that this is where the Dragonborn is buried, so what are you waiting for, just dig it out.

Wende, who had rested for a whole day, was full of energy, and Ruixi and Zhuoyu were even more excited when they heard that it was a treasure robbery.

Dark elves love looting by nature, and dragons love treasure by nature.

"Let me help you, ratmen are naturally good at digging."

Lin Yuxia finally chose to come to help Wende. Through such a long time of contact, she has understood that this human being does not like greedy enjoyment, and every step is to work hard for the happiness of everyone.

In addition, he is also a good friend of his father. Perhaps grave robbery is not moral, but in order to deal with the serious financial burden after the reform, this is also a mistake that has to be made.

Besides, it is better to take up all the treasures and treasures buried in the ground and be forgotten together with the bones, and contribute to all the people who are still alive.

If this tomb is stolen by others, the treasures in it will definitely be used for entertainment.

But if it is stolen by Wende, it can really be used to improve people's livelihood and benefit the vast majority of people.

Using the range given by Zhuo Yu, coupled with Lin Yuxia's digging talent as a ratman, she quickly found the real entrance to the entire tomb.

In the three-meter-deep hole, there is an ancient stone slab blocking the way of three people and one dragon, but according to Zhuo Yu and Lin Yuxia's affirmation, behind this must be the tomb of the ancient dragon descendant.

There must have been a great deal of gold, treasure, and anything of value in it.

Wende even took out the holy sword of physics, and a crowbar made by himself was already stuck in the gap between the stone slabs.

"rise!"

　At the very beginning, Wende and Ruixi were not friends, and the dark elves instinctively didn't trust humans very much.

　　So when they first met in Marienburg, Ruixi tied Wende's hands and feet and hung him up, and stripped off his clothes.

　　Ruixi's fingers ran from Wende's chest to his chin.

　　"I heard that human beings are hard to resist temptation, is it true?"

　　"Come on, beauty."

　　Wende pushed her fingers away.

　　"I'm a decent man."
