After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 468
Although He Yu's family is a wealthy businessman in Datang, he also agreed with Gu Yu's words, and continued:
"Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the land tax has been averaged for a hundred years, and the amount of grain to be paid per mu of land has been counted, but it has also led to the same amount of tax paid for some good fields and bad fields.

And now there are not many fields that can be distributed to each household, and there is no barren land to reclaim. Many wealthy businessmen have occupied good land. The annual agricultural tax reduction and exemption is indeed cheaper for the wealthy businessmen.

I think Su Xiang's proposal to pay taxes per household is more realistic, and the rent adjustment tax that His Majesty approves is very good.

Rent means that each household of the weak crown pays a certain amount of food tax every year. Judging from the local harvest, the adjustment means that each household has to pay a certain amount of cloth every year, which can also be exchanged for tax in silver. "

Gu Yu said: "Prime Minister Su's method is very good, but it still can't let some landlords and tyrants pay the taxes they should pay, and the imperial court wants to exempt the common people from taxes, which is still cheaper for these landlords and wealthy businessmen."

He Yu whispered: "Actually, I have a better way, that is, the household department sends people to measure the local farmland, register the number of good and bad farmland, and separate the good and bad fields for taxation.

Officials sent by the household department of the imperial court go to various places to evaluate and measure the land, and register the land and the population of each household. Just like a family of five with only one mu of fertile land each, the tax of the year can be reduced or exempted.

If each person in each household has more than one mu of good farmland, the tax will be collected according to the proportion of the land owned by each person.

Those wealthy businessmen, officials, and landlords who own hundreds of acres of land need to pay ten or even a hundred times as much tax as ordinary people.

If the agricultural tax is to be reduced or exempted, it is also the same as reducing or exempting ten acres of land per household. The surplus will still have to pay taxes, which can also prevent some merchant officials from taking advantage of it. "

Gu Yu heard He Yu say this: "You will offend many wealthy businessmen and officials by doing this.

There are also tenant farmers in the farms of these rich businessmen and officials. If the farmers pay too much tax, those tenant farmers may not have a good life. "

He Yudao: "I'm not afraid of that. The people who are tenant farmers are afraid that they will not have money to buy seeds and farm tools. The imperial court can come up with a way to loan seeds and official land to the people, and give them [-]% of the grain every year when they harvest.

The imperial court was the farmer, and the tenant farmers were not afraid of being squeezed. Seeing that the court was like this, the farmer would never dare to squeeze the tenant.

After all, if all the tenants came to grow food for the court, there would be no one to cultivate so many of their fields. "

Gu Yu looked at He Yu appreciatively, and said, "Just write an article based on this, and hand it over to your teacher in a few days."

"it is good."

……

In the Gu family's guest room, Xiao Lin woke up with a severe headache, and when he woke up, he felt warm in his arms, Xiao Lin was so scared that he even opened his eyes.

After seeing that the woman in his arms was Gu Qiyao, he thought he was still in a dream.

Xiao Lin pinched Gu Qiyao's face, and Gu Qiyao cried out in pain after waking up: "It hurts!"

Xiao Lin just pulled himself away, it was really not in a dream, Xiao Lin hugged Gu Qiyao tightly and said: "Qiyao, why did you come here? No, where is this?"

Gu Qiyao said to Xiao Lin: "You hug me too tightly."

Xiao Lin let go a little bit, seeing that Gu Qiyao was still wearing yesterday's clothes, he asked, "Child? Is the child alright?"

Gu Qiyao said: "The child is fine, Ning Le replaced my abortion pill with a miscarriage medicine."

Xiao Lin tremblingly said: "Then...do you still want to kill the child?"

Gu Qiyao lightly shook her head and said, "I will give birth to this child."

Xiao Lin stood up and said, "I'm going to find my mother and propose marriage at your home. The sooner the marriage date, the better, and hurry up and get married before the baby in your womb is not obvious."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry, not caring that he didn't comb his hair, even if Gu Qiyao wanted to stop him, she couldn't stop her.

She only said to keep the child, but she hasn't agreed to marry him yet!
However, it shouldn't be bad for Gu Qiyao to want to marry Xiao Lin. First, the two of them are familiar with each other. Second, the child in her womb must be born in a legitimate way. Third, she thinks that Xiao Lin will take good care of the young man. City sapphire.

As soon as He Yu came out of Gu Yu's study, he bumped into the disheveled Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Yuan Yang, good morning."

"It's not too early." He Yu glanced at the sky, "The morning court is already over."

Xiao Lin patted He Yu's shoulder and said, "Please pass a word to Ning Le for me, I will remember her great kindness in my life."

He Yu said: "It's just a change of the abortion pill, it's a trivial matter. First, I wish Brother Wang and Sister-in-law Wang's children and grandchildren a happy house."

After He Yu returned to the East Palace, seeing Xiao Ningle coming back, he told Xiao Ningle about meeting Xiao Lin earlier in the morning. Xiao Ningle smiled and said, "Fortunately, I asked the imperial doctor to change the abortion pill."

Xiao Ning was happy to see He Yu writing an article about taxation in front of the desk, she saw it and said:

"Why are you writing about the Jinshi section? My father is not very satisfied with the Jinshi section articles this year. They are all dwarfs who are selected as generals. It took only half a day for my father to set the ranking in the imperial examination today."

He Yu said: "The palace test is over now? Doesn't that mean there will be a Qionglin Banquet tonight?"

Xiao Ning said happily: "I won't go to the banquet if I'm pregnant, if you want to see it, you can."

He Yu said: "If you don't go, you won't have much to learn, and I have other things to do. Master asked me to write this article. I have to finish it before Xiao Zhen's wedding, so that I can concentrate on teasing Xiao Zhen on the day of his wedding. he."

Xiao Ningle: "...you want to play hard if you are told to work hard?"

He Yu chuckled and said, "It's that day."

Xiao Ning said happily: "By the way, Bao Ning is coming to Luoyang for the first time, is her bridesmaid ready?"

He Yudao: "Shang Miao volunteered to be my sister's bridesmaid, but now she is the only one, and some mothers want to choose from relatives, but they can't choose well."

Xiao Ning said happily: "Shang Miao is very good, if there is any more, let Hu Lingshan, An An, Ping Ping go."

"Wouldn't it be too young for mediocre age?" He Yu asked.

Xiao Ning said happily: "How can other bridesmaids dare to disrespect Xiao Zhen? An An's martial arts is very strong, and few men are her opponents. Shang Miao's chess skills are superb, Hu Lingshan is good at both civil and martial arts, and mediocrity is the most difficult thing to deal with. You can find them." Four people, it is not so easy for Xiao Zhen to marry Bao Ning."

He Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

In Prince Jing's mansion, Xiao Zhen sneezed twice in a row. Su Jingyan covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "You have a cold? The wedding is coming soon, so nothing can happen."

Xiao Zhen said: "He Yu must have some bad idea waiting for me!"

Su Jingyan frowned slightly and said, "Zhen'er, He Yu is your brother-in-law now, and with Ning Le here, how could He Yu have any bad ideas waiting for you."

Xiao Zhen said: "That's right, there is still Huang Jie here.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhen sneezed again.

After Su Jingyan finished her work in Prince Jing's mansion, she happened to see Liang Suirou passing by with a matchmaker when she left the gate of the mansion, "Suirou, where are you going?"

Liang Suirou bowed with a happy smile and said, "Ayan, I am bringing a matchmaker to propose marriage to Qi Yao!"
