Chapter 238 Chapter 238
Chen Fusheng frowned and asked: "Old man, as far as I know, according to the court's tax law, isn't that how the land mu tax is collected?"

The old man's face immediately fell down, "I said, you don't think that our peasants are better than you, do you?

"The tax law of the imperial court, according to the tax law of the imperial court, do we ordinary people still have a living! According to the regulations of the imperial court, a peasant household like ours is only allocated three acres of land at most! But we have to pay [-]% tax, and land tax, what else do we need? Donate instead of corvee.

"In this way, even if we tighten our belts to live, how will we survive the winter? How will we survive when we don't pick up!"

He looked at Chen Fusheng vigilantly, snatched the coarse porcelain bowl, and poured all the remaining water on the ground, "Are you afraid that you are not a spy sent by Beihu?"

The old man turned around and put the bowl on the ground, turned his head and grabbed Chen Fusheng by the collar, "Don't hurry, follow me to see Li Zheng! If you are a spy, I will send you to the army immediately!
"Damn! Beihu dogs who kill thousands of knives deserve to die!"

"Old man, old man," Chen Fusheng hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, Xiao Ke is a native of the Central Plains, not a native of Beihu."

The entourage behind him hurried over to rescue him, but the guards stood far away watching the excitement.

Just as they were making noise, a group of patrolling soldiers passed by and came over to inquire when they heard the noise.

The old man shouted at the top of his voice, "Master Jun, Lord Jun! Hurry up, there's a spy here!"

The guard didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly went forward to explain to the patrolling soldiers. The patrolling soldiers came to comfort the old man, praised him for his vigilance, and escorted Chen Fusheng away, persuading him: "Master Chen, such an old man is very stubborn. They're generally knowledgeable."

Chen Fusheng was also grabbed by the old man twice in the neck. At this moment, the pain was burning, and he couldn't really care about others, so he had to admit his bad luck and said: "He misunderstood me."

The patrolling soldiers didn't say much, and sent the group of them back to the temporary residence, and then went on to perform official duties.

Chen Fusheng's entourage applied medicine to his wound and persuaded him, "Master, why are you doing this? It was originally a kind intention, but no one appreciates it."

Chen Fusheng said solemnly: "Life has its own code of conduct in this world, and once someone crosses the line, they will feel disgusted, that old man is like this, why are we not like this?

"From the day I embarked on an official career, I vowed to be the master of the people and to be a good official worthy of the heaven and earth. I have also done so in the past ten years.

"I came here for peace talks by order..." He felt sad for a while, "Although His Majesty expressly hinted at it like that, I still want to try my best to win some benefits for us Dayan.

"Fortunately, the Great General Wang doesn't want me to participate in the peace talks, and with the tyrannical methods of the prince, we will not suffer.

"As for asking me to incriminate the princess... I am a handsome man, why should I be in trouble with a young girl?
"It's just that today I heard that the old man never leaves the princess, and I was curious for a while, so I wanted to ask more questions, but unexpectedly it was so disgusting."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning and sighing.

The treasury is empty, and many ministers in the court have suggested increasing taxes, even the emperor thinks so.

In fact, the tax laws implemented in this dynasty are much looser than those in the last years of the former Qin Dynasty. However, under the background of successive years of wars and the decline of people's livelihood, the current taxes are considered heavy taxes.

But until the folks walk around, it is still hard to understand how heavy the tax is.

During his journey, all he saw was that the people were in dire straits, and most of the fields were barren, because they had to pay taxes after farming, so it would be better to let the fields be left uncultivated.
