Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 262 Zhu Youxiao's victory, the facts win, the new policy benefits the country and the people, I will stick to it!

Han Yu was stunned instead.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Okay, let them come to the main hall, I also want to know what they think of the New Deal!"

Afterwards, a dozen or so old farmers were brought to this hall.

All the civil and military officials present could not help but frown.

They are scholars. At this moment, I just feel that this group of old farmers has brought some bad luck to the hall. When will people of their status stand under the same roof as these farmers?
This group of people is definitely not in disguise. Looking at their speech and behavior, and then looking at their expressions and traces of labor on their bodies, you can know that they must be real farmers, which cannot be pretended.

Along with this group of old farmers was the current Shandong governor Lu Wanling, who also took the lead in saluting the dog emperor.

When a group of old farmers saw Zhu Youxiao, they also saluted one after another: "Kowtow to the emperor!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said, "Pingshen!"

Then Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "Where are your native places?"

"Return to the emperor, I am from Jinan Prefecture, Shandong!"

"Your Majesty, I belong to the Zhending Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, I am from Yanzhou Mansion!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said: "How are you doing now?"

An old farmer immediately said: "Back to the emperor, I am from Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. This year, the imperial court said that it would divide the land into mu, and the imperial court even allocated the land for us, or built a farm. Cotton, the farm has bought a lot of cotton this year!"

While talking, the old farmer chuckled and said, "This farm sells cotton, makes money, and gives us a share of the money, saying yes, this is a farm, and we have to share the money with everyone!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed, "How's the harvest this year?"

"This year's harvest is very good, and we don't understand taxes. It's all government officials who collect the grain and hand it in. This year, our family has [-] catties of wheat left this year!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smiled, and said: "That's not bad, this person eats about 7 taels of flour every day, 365 days a year, a catty of wheat can produce 7 taels of flour, that is You can eat 365 catties of wheat a year, and you can save a lot!"

Zhu Youxiao is also like a treasure.

"The emperor is right. In addition to wheat, we also have some pork at home. In addition, we still have some money in our hands. He said yes, let us buy new clothes by ourselves, and also, buy oil!"

The old farmer spoke very cautiously.

But the more he talked about it, the more obvious the smile on his face became, as if he saw a bright tomorrow.

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What happened to you in the past?"

"Your Majesty, Caomin's family didn't have so many fields in the past. After a year, the imperial court will take part of the tax. In addition, there will be apportionments. It is said that the imperial court wants to fight wars and pay more taxes. It also said that the emperor wants to draft a talent show, and we have to pay more. Taxes, what else is paid and suppressed, half of the land income has to be taxed, and there are corvees!"

"Could it be that you are the only one who doesn't work as a corvee now?" Han Yu on the side suddenly asked.

"Do it. In this farm, we also need to build water conservancy. With water to irrigate the farmland, our harvest will also increase. In addition, when we go to support the corvee, the farm will also prepare food for us!" The old farmer heard Han Yu's inquiry immediately answered honestly.

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

A group of old farmers chattered together.

"Is this new deal good? Obviously, these farmers, these people are the most convincing!" Zhang Haogu smiled, looked at Han Yu and said, "Master Han, do you still doubt that the new deal is not good? Accept it." There are so many taxes, but the emperor has abolished miscellaneous taxes, so for the common people, the taxes paid are actually burned!"

Han Yu sneered: "This is just a side story!"

Zhang Haogu shrugged his shoulders, and was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly set his eyes on Lu Wanling: "Lu Wanling, you have been the governor of Shandong for a year, and you are in this court today, tell me, what is the new policy like?" ?”

Lu Wanling said politely: "Mr. Zhang Ge, the so-called facts speak louder than words. Let the lower officials say whether the New Deal is good or not. It's not easy for the lower officials to say clearly, it's just!"

While talking, Lu Wanling took out a memorial from his cuff, and said politely: "Here is the price list, I got it after careful investigation, and I will read it to the emperor and all the adults. This is Shandong's food this year. Compared with the prices of department stores, the highest price of grain in Shandong last year was one or two or three renminbi, and the lowest was five renminbi, but this year it has dropped to three or four renminbi in the first year that the price of food sold per mu has been reduced!".

"Three cents and four?" Everyone was slightly taken aback, they didn't quite understand this price.

Zhang Haogu on one side added: "Everyone, you are not in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Let me explain to you that the price of three cents and four yuan is the same as the price of rice in Jiangnan Fengnian. You know, Shandong and Beijing this year are more or less the same. It's a bit of a disaster!"

Lu Wanling quickly said: "What the old man said is very true. It is exactly like this. Besides, the prices of silk, cloth, bamboo wares, oil, vinegar, firewood, tea, and vegetables in the market are all lower by half than before. , In addition, Shandong is still repairing river embankments and constructing canals. This year, Shandong suffered a small disaster, but under this new policy, none of the victims of the disaster have left!".

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Okay. You all heard it just now, how about the New Deal?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao himself felt a little proud: "Look at it, look at it, you have a country and a country, and you are a common people in the world, but what about you? When you take money, you are not lenient at all, and the court still has to support you. Look at you, why do you become an official? It’s for the national economy and the people’s livelihood, why is the new policy that the gentry and gentry pay the same amount of food? It’s also for the national economy and the people’s livelihood.”

"Nowadays, the common people can eat enough food and afford oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. How difficult is it for the common people to obtain these ordinary things? Now they can eat meat, use oil, and eat vegetables. What a relief!"

The ministers stopped talking, and the people present were not without eloquent people, but if they were faced with the hard facts, it would be difficult for them to refute.

You say that the New Deal harmed the people, and the people will tell you that without me, I would not be harmed. On the contrary, my life will get better and better.

With the arrival of the New Deal, the tax revenue of the imperial court increased, and the lives of the people became better.

Who is at a disadvantage?
It is this group of gentry, it is their group of officials.

You said that these gentry and officials are common people, sorry, Zhu Youxiao said, they are not!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Youxiao also felt that he had won a big victory, and said seriously: "Facts speak louder than words, the new policy benefits the country and the people, I will stick to it!"
