I, the King is a killer

His majesty took a deep breath and said, "well... The salary will be distributed with grain and cloth. There was such a precedent in the previous dynasty. It's always right."

Li Guofu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, never."

"Why?"

Your majesty frowned at once.

Li Guofu said: "nowadays, copper money is needed everywhere, resulting in the reduction of copper money. Coupled with various hoarding, now four kilograms of brown rice can be exchanged for a copper coin. Before that, just last year, one and a half kilograms of brown rice can be exchanged for a copper coin. In this way, if salaries are paid with grain, will they be paid at the previous price, this year's price, or later price? In another two months, I'm afraid it will take six kilograms of brown rice to exchange for a copper coin. If grain and cloth are used as salaries, I'm afraid the following officials will have a lot of complaints. "

"This..."

Your Majesty's eyes twitched again.

"Can't you get together?"

Li Guofu shook his head and said, "I have thought of all the ways, but I can't get together the number."

His Majesty was silent, bowed his head, unable to speak for a long time.

The eunuch saw it, thought for a moment, suddenly came up carefully and whispered, "Your Majesty, otherwise... The old slave will ask Xiao shengpin?"

"Well?"

Your Majesty was really excited for a moment.

Maybe the boy can do something about this sad thing.

But then he snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "if you ask him everywhere, wouldn't it make him more rampant? No reason to laugh at my court! Hum, I won't ask him! "

The eunuch was stunned and could only return to his position with a bitter face. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare. Finally, he could only turn into a sigh.

I wonder why your majesty, who is determined to kill trees on weekdays, seems childish when he is born on Xiao Yun?

After thinking for a long time, your majesty suddenly brightened his eyes, raised his head and said, "is the mid year tax time in some areas almost up? This time, we only need to pay copper money instead of grain. As for the amount of copper money, it is converted according to the local grain price. In this way, the people have no loss and the Treasury has added copper money. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "

Your majesty said confidently.

I'm confident that... If there is such a key measure on weekdays, I will let the minister go on and say, and then he nods his head for approval. Even if this method is thought out by himself, he will go through such a formality.

It seems that civil and military officials are very useful.

But today, I really can't help it.

It even means to compete with Xiao Yun.

After hearing this, Li Guofu bowed his head and thought for a while. Finally, he frowned. He was about to say something, but when he saw the pleasure on his Majesty's face, he sighed and stopped talking.

And this will soon came down.

At first, the people were happy to hear that everyone paid taxes with copper money.

After all, there is a lot of food that needs to be taxed, which is laborious to carry. There is only one place to pay taxes in each town. In some remote villages, it takes two days to pull a load of food to the town.

However, grain merchants are everywhere. They sell grain nearby, change copper money and pay taxes, which saves a lot of trouble on the circuit.

They are naturally happy.

But when several farmers rushed to sell grain, they were stunned to find that the grain price was different!

Before, three kilograms of brown rice could be exchanged for a copper coin.

But when they arrive, if they want a copper coin, they have to take five kilograms of brown rice!

Five kilograms of brown rice is a small bag. Such a small bag of grain, heavy, can you change a copper plate? It doesn't make sense.

"We've heard that copper is used for tax payment this year. We usually have to pay 1200 kilograms of grain. If it's calculated as copper, it's 400 dollars. It's less than half through. Over there, it's calculated according to three kilograms of brown rice. How can you collect grain according to five kilograms of brown rice? Aren't you cheating? "

Several farmers united and followed a literate man to the door of the grain farmer.

But the grain farmer shouted, "Oh, you guys? You didn't do it yesterday, but you came again today. Why? Did you come back after you went to other homes and saw that their food was cheaper? It's late! We also have a copper plate with five kilograms of grain here. Do you like to sell it! If you don't sell it, go to the county with your grain and see if the tax collector will accept your grain! Hey, hey, I made the list this time! Your majesty, the emperor ordered him personally. Who dares to disobey? well! Again? If I raise the price again, I will not accept your rice. Do you believe it? "

"Profiteer! You profiteers must die! "

"Hey? Who are you scolding? You old bastard, white eyed wolf, I was thinking of everyone in the village. Take care of you. It was two days later for others to raise money. You don't believe it or don't listen. Why? You know you're going to suffer, so you come to me? It's very kind of you to treat me like a donkey's liver and lungs, and I'll be scolded by you? You're shameless. Why don't you scold again? Believe it or not, I scraped you alive! "

"Fucking profiteer! Brothers smash with me! "

Small granaries are prone to such quarrels, especially big fights, with huge casualties.

Those with big stores are thugs who raise sticks and disperse the people, including many injured and dead.

So much noise, the whole mess!

However, the tax collector of the imperial court has a dead order. It's absolutely impossible not to pay taxes. It's going to be punished, not to pay taxes with grain. If the imperial edict is well written, it must be copper money.

Therefore, the contradiction can not be alleviated, and naturally becomes more and more intense.

This matter was soon reported back to the capital. In your Majesty's ears, it was brought to the court and said.

In fact, everyone doesn't want to put it on the court.

After all, this is your Majesty's move. In case of an accident, your Majesty's face must be lost.

But there's nothing I can do.

Because now it is necessary for your majesty to order troops to suppress it. If it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be prone to unrest.

People in the state of Qin are all bloody!

Your Majesty was a little confused when he heard the following table.

Then he flew into a rage, slapped on the table and shouted, "unscrupulous and treacherous businessmen disturb my government!"

A group of people bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Li Guofu immediately came out of the crowd, thought for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

It's really a problem for profiteers, but... He always thinks there's something wrong.

It happened that this was wrong. He couldn't think of it, and no one in court came out to solve his doubts.

But just at this time, Leng Guozhu slowly came out, looked around, then sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Leng Xiaohan is a military attache. Besides, for many years, he has just gone through the motions in the court. He can be regarded as getting up in the morning to exercise. He doesn't care what will happen in the court.

At most, there were some problems involving Xiao Yun before. He would just come out and talk.

But once he takes the initiative, it means that he wants to speak, and everyone has to listen!

His majesty took a deep breath, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "great country column, what can I say?"

"Your Majesty."

Leng Xiaohan bowed and then said, "we can't blame the profiteers for this. Although there are many profiteers, we can't kill all the merchants with one pole."

"Oh? Is da Guozhu going to beg for his life for profiteers? "

Leng Xiaohan shook his head and then said, "Your Majesty, my old minister wants to tell your majesty about the past."

Your Majesty's eyes twitch. When is it? And listen to your old man talk?

He was angry in his heart, but it was not easy to lose Leng Xiaohan's face, so he nodded and motioned him to speak.

"Your Majesty, when running the army, soldiers would bring three millet and one meat, three bags of millet and one bag of dried meat. Some people like to eat meat, so they exchange millet for other people's meat. In order to eat enough, soldiers don't care whether they eat millet or dried meat. No one feels that they suffer from exchanging two bags of millet for one bag of meat. But once there is a war, the battle is imminent, and after a meal, you have to pick up the sword and rush into battle. At this time, a bag of dried meat needs five or six bags of millet to be replaced. This requires several people to gather together millet to exchange some and divide the food. "

At this point, his Majesty was stunned and asked curiously, "how has the price changed?"

Leng Xiaohan said with a smile, "millet is the baggage of the army, which can be supplemented from time to time. Although dried meat is also the baggage, it does not always exist. With the configuration of three millet and one meat, the longer the March, the less meat, and the more millet. It doesn't appear on weekdays, but before the war, people who have been soldiers for several years know that if you want to have strength on the battlefield, you have to eat meat! It can even be said that more meat can bring more vitality, so everyone wants to use millet to change meat, but there is so much meat. If you change me, you can only increase the price if the meat is not enough. After all, those who change meat also risk eating less meat. "

Your majesty frowned, nodded frequently and said, "there is still such a saying. Although I have been with the army for several years, I still don't know as well as guoguozhu... En?!"

Speaking of this, your Majesty was suddenly surprised, suddenly raised his head and looked at lengxiaohan with an incredible face!
