Datang Library

Chapter 618
Bai Fan waved his hand calmly, "Everyone, don't be so excited. Datang Lufan is more familiar with you. Back then, I worked so hard to get through the way of sending cattle from Shiwei in the north. Over the years, I have never been willing to slaughter any of the cows sent by Shiwei. , All are given to various places as cattle, so when it comes to the importance of cattle, Fan can be said to be more important than seniors.

But today I want to tell you that it was a long time ago that the Tang Dynasty did not kill cattle. Since the day when the immortal food was distributed, the rule of not killing cattle can be cancelled. Come with me. "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but seeing Bai Fan's confident face, they had no choice but to follow him suspiciously, wanting to see what kind of medicine this strange man of the Tang Dynasty was selling today.

He led the crowd to a huge house in Chang'an County, with the words 'Chang'an Granary' written on the door.

Everyone understood, it was a good thing that Marquis of Lantian wanted to take everyone to experience Xianliang.

"Seniors, if I tell you how many thousand catties per mu of fairy grain is, it may not be very intuitive. Today, I will take you to witness with your own eyes that the first batch of potato fairy grain in Chang'an Xianliang Breeding Base has an average yield of [-] catties per mu. feat."

Pushing open the door, a spacious avenue is displayed in front of everyone, with independent houses on both sides, and there are clear numbers on them.

"This is a newly built granary in Chang'an County, and each one is filled with newly harvested fairy grain."

Opening the small door of one of the granaries, everyone saw this fairy food called potatoes for the first time. They were not only shocked by the size of the thing, but also shocked by the high piles of fairy food that filled the room. , and Bai Fan also told everyone that this house is the output of one mu of land.

Looking at the houses one by one, more than 300 people present exclaimed, is this true?

The facts are all there, and this kind of intuitive shock can be said to be the most direct to people's hearts, which is exactly what Bai Fan wanted.

"Lord Hou, we have already believed in the production of immortal food, but when will these gods be distributed to us?" a middle-ranking nobleman from Shandong asked.

Bai Fan walked with everyone and said: "Don't be busy. Before that, I would like to ask you a question. With this kind of fetish, with this kind of output, will anyone in the world go hungry?"

"How is it possible? Even if a family only grows one mu of land, no one will go hungry anymore." One person exclaimed.

"That's exactly the reason!" Bai Fan clapped his hands and praised, it seems that there are still people who understand.

"Lan Tianhou, don't be a fool. Just say what you want. It's almost enough to eat, drink and play with you. It's time to talk about business. What does this fairy food have to do with you wanting to move the land?" The patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family was impatient opened the mouth.

Ignoring the old man's tone, Bai Fan continued: "Okay, let's talk about the land issue.

Since the people of the world can eat enough by relying on their own land, who would go to the trouble of renting and planting the land of your family?

As the saying goes, "Hungry and cold steal the heart, full and warm and think about sex". In the future, when you are full and have that leisure time, it is estimated that the common people are more concerned about opening up wasteland or inheriting the family. I wonder if this has anything to do with the land? "

hiss……

this……

Everyone was an old goblin for many years, so they naturally understood everything when they heard it, and Bai Fan's words hit the point directly.

"It doesn't matter, we still have our own servants, and there are many slave laborers who sell themselves to farm for us. Our land will never be depleted." The patriarch of the Langya Wang clan said.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty require fine land to be punished, but with your identities, the law may not be able to be imposed on everyone, so what Fan said today is not that this fairy grain caused the land to be barren.

After the people are full, they will yearn for a better life, but what lies ahead of them is the issue of food tax. In the past, when they were starving every year, they didn't think that as long as they could survive, they would rather rent and plant a few more acres with the help of the nobles. Food is fine.

But it won’t happen in the future, when people have free time to stop and think about problems, some people will definitely think unconsciously, why do people need to pay food taxes?And the aristocrats with countless land properties don't pay food taxes?This is human nature, I don't know if you may think of the consequences? "

"Consequences? What are the consequences? They are just thinking in vain. Scholars have tax exemption, which has not changed through the ages. Otherwise, why has no one questioned it for thousands of years?" The patriarch of Hongnong Yang said disdainfully.

But at this time, many people fell into contemplation, especially those old people. They have deeper knowledge and experience, and it can be said that they understand the human heart and human nature better.

"No one questioned? Why did the Yellow Turban Uprising happen when the people were in dire straits at the end of the Han Dynasty? The gap between the rich and the poor, the injustice of the national law and those who stand up, although this is not written in the iron law of history, but it has been engraved on the human heart and human nature at the beginning of the birth of human beings.

Confucius also once said, 'I heard that those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but anxiety'. This is the reason.

I invite you to come here today to discuss and solve the problem sincerely, not to argue and force you, because Fan is also a member of the nobles. It can be foreseen that if we nobles stick to the rules, one day in the future, there will be people who will pay for the food tax. If the injustice comes forward, I am afraid that there will be a lot of responses, and what will be brought about is the bloodshed and sacrifice of the whole country. At that time, we will not be eating and chatting like today, but will compromise with swords around our necks. "

"Do they dare? A bunch of mud-legged people, we and the nobles are also what they can overthrow?" exclaimed the head of the Xue clan of Hedong.

Bai Fan snorted coldly, "Mud-legged? No one in this world should underestimate the people you call mud-legged people. In Xia Baifan, you are also born as mud-legged people.

Have you forgotten the beggars?

Even if all the nobles in the world join forces, how many people can there be?Ninety percent of the world is common people, and one percent is nobles. We have no chance of winning. "

Bai Fan's aura was shocked, and the crowd suddenly lost their temper. They were also frightened by Bai Fan and convinced by Bai Fan's words. He was right. He was really fighting with the common people. Since ancient times, the way of survival has been to compromise, and those who stand the straightest are often the first to be crushed.

"In that case, I have to listen to you, and pay the grain tax with them? This old man can't go back and explain to the tribe." The patriarch of the Hedong Liu clan was dissatisfied.

"Yeah, yeah, pay food with him to help Mudlegzi? It's too embarrassing."

Many people followed suit.

Bai Fan looked at the ugly faces of these people coldly. They were all so-called nobles who were used to being pampered. They only remembered their own identities and forgot the origin of the family. Whose ancestors were not born in poverty?Whose ancestral precepts are not heirs of poetry and books or farming and reading?

People who only remember the privileges of the nobles and forget the mission of the nobles are no longer worthy of being called nobles. The more Bai Fan looks at them, the more he disdains them. So what if the 40-meter broadsword is all chopped up?I really want to see if the death of the nobles is more elegant and noble than that of the common people?
