Poor family mother and son

Qin Erye brought the topic back to the food issue, and the businessmen fell silent.

For a long time, the owner of the bank, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "If you want to say, even if you levy a hundred shi for grain, it's only a matter of 400 taels of silver;

But who doesn't have a farm?I think those present here, I don't understand Mr. Qin, each of our farms has less than a thousand acres of land, right?

The harvest of one mu of land is only three shi at most, and a thousand mu is only three thousand shi. If the ten taxes are calculated, you have to pay another three hundred shi, which is only a thousand taels of silver..."

More than 1000 taels of silver is really not a big deal for people who go to the Blue House to eat when they have nothing to do, but...

The owner of the bank: "However, a family of five people can only eat [-] catties of rice and [-] shi of grain in a year, which is enough to feed a family of five for six and a half years!

So much food has been handed over, our family has a large population, what do we eat?
Besides, why?Why do we have to pay food after we donated money?How about paying double?
Why should we bear the responsibility of the imperial court?He who co-authored our business should die?

By the way, what about their clan?The clan with the most estates in the world is probably the clan, right?Do they pay? "

As expected of the owner of the bank, who deals with money every day, he settles accounts very quickly. After a little thought, he calculated the specific figures for the payment of grain that Qin Erye said.

It’s not like I don’t know, but I’m shocked when I calculate it. One hundred shi of grain doesn’t sound like much, but it’s enough to feed a family for six and a half years.

Not to mention the large merchants who do business, they have a lot of land in their homes, so it is actually double payment.

The second owner of the pawn shop sneered: "You said that it is the clan, but they are not merchants, they pay a fart!
I am afraid that the food scraped from our hands will be the first one to fill their teeth! "

The clan is relative to the royal family, the royal family is the immediate relatives of the emperor, and the clan is the other branches under the same grandfather of the emperor's family.

In addition to the state capitals where the clan clans are located need to bear their expenses, the imperial court has to spend a large amount of subsidies every year, even the eldest son's education expenses have to be subsidized.

"Ah!" Second Master Qin sighed heavily: "That's not true! So, we have to pay for food for several years!
But don't be too angry, everyone, I'm just hearsay, maybe the court won't be so ruthless. "

The imperial court really wouldn't be so ruthless.

After an emergency meeting with his ministers, the emperor made a preliminary plan of five to ten shi for merchants, and ten to twenty shi for landlords and rich people.

That is to say, according to household registration, merchants' share is collected by merchants, and landlord's share is collected by farmers' households, and there is no repeated collection.

And not all merchants and landlords, but differentiated fundraising based on economic strength, excluding small merchants, small landlords, and small rich people.

And it is only for light disaster areas and non-disaster areas for paid collection.

In other words, the imperial court's plan is to target designated groups and collect grain at a fair price.

However, "hearsay" means "no wind, no waves", which is enough to arouse public resentment.

As for whether it is five stones or fifty stones, it doesn't matter, because the emperor took the lead in donating money and goods, and he had already collected money from merchants once.

If you do this again in a few days, it will make you feel irritable.

What's more, the bank owner's question is reasonable-why?
Is being rich a sin? Did the "Eight Winds" come from rich people?Why should they make up for these losses?

Well, even if the court gives money, how will the difference be calculated?Also, today I sold grain to the imperial court at a low price. If I have no grain to eat later, will the imperial court sell me grain at a low price?
No matter how rich I am, even if I spend ten thousand dollars, that's my willingness. I can afford to suffer losses and be cheated, but I don't want to give my money to others for nothing, not even a dime!
Don't tell me that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country", that kind of words fool the fools like Lin Yanghou who can't settle accounts, we will not be fooled.

That's what a lot of rich people think.

Qin Erye took another sip of the wine: "The wine in Qingwatai is really good! You say, it is also worthless corn burnt, why is his wine so mellow?"

This remark did not arouse everyone's interest, and the second owner of the pawnshop said: "A peasant woman, I am afraid that she has only tasted corn burnt, so she fiddled with corn burnt. If you think about it carefully, you can always get something. "

The owner of the bank sneered: "I don't know if Qingwadae wants to pay the grain? Also, Bao Qingxiang also belongs to her family? Do you want to pay the grain too?

You said, others use a semicolon under one name, but her family has several names. Is the food paid according to the name or only one part?

So rich people, if they only pay one share, it’s too little, right? "

The second owner of the pawn shop said: "Then who knows? But, isn't there no one left? I'm afraid she has to pay as much as she asks, and she can't make the decision!"

The owner of the tea shop was still thinking about jade: "This time, it seems that no one in the Chu family is going to lock up those ores?"

The second owner of the pawn shop reminded: "I don't know how much jade they got back a long time ago, how much is there?

By the way, let me tell you guys, let's talk about this today, do you dare to tell the truth, have you found jade among the stones you bought? "

The owner of the tea shop: "What about you?"

The second owner of the pawn shop: "Okay, I'll treat it as a rabbit—I bought three big and two small, and that's what I offered!"

Saying so, the second owner of the pawn shop took out a piece of jade the size of a palm and one finger thick from his pocket. crack.

With this fineness and this size, it is worth 200 taels of silver. Even if you want to make a bracelet, you can't avoid those cracks.

The second owner of the pawn shop: "Three big and two small, this is the one. I'll be the rabbit. You can come out with eagles. Tell me, how much do you pay?"

The owner of the tea shop really let it go: "To tell you the truth, I don't even have anything like you, and I didn't open anything. I was so angry that I smashed all the stones one by one, and there was no jade meat."

The owner of Qianzhuang squinted at him: "Is it true?"

The owner of the tea shop made an oath to the sky: "I'm going to tell a half lie. Next year, let the 'eight winds' sweep up all the tea gardens in my house!"

This oath is poisonous enough.

The owner of the tea shop: "I regretted it after knocking it down. Why don't you keep the whole stone and make a move to make money back? That's why I asked you to talk about it!"

Second Master Qin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to the owner of the tea shop apologetically, "By the way, I'll sell you the stone later, okay?"

The owner of the tea shop: "What do you mean?"

Qin Erye: "I...I want to try to give the stone to the imperial court to see if it can be used for the one hundred stone grain payment, and then return the rest to me and then give it to you to go to Guanpu;
It’s okay if they don’t pay me back, even if I donate money for disaster relief, I’ll win a good reputation, but I’ll be sorry for you;
It was a little early to promise you just now, but I didn't think of this at the time, sorry, sorry. "

This... The other three people looked at each other in blank dismay: Anyway, this one was fooled, how about giving it a try?Just take a small piece of food and you can fool it into a hundred shi of grain money, right?
The spark of hope kept shining in the eyes of everyone.

The owner of the tea shop regretted it even more: it shouldn't have been smashed!
