The scum girl transforms the live broadcast room

Chapter 59
There are open plains in Beixing Mansion, but there are also many deep mountains and dense forests, and they are all steep mountains. Sandan has never seen such a scene before, so he lay down by the car window and stared at it intently.

Occasionally, when passing through fairly flat roads, Zhu Run, who insisted on riding a horse, would take San Dan for a while.

Although Sandan didn't speak, Element Ying could tell that he was very happy.

Sure enough, there is no boy who doesn't like Chasing the Wind.

On the way, the group of people could see abandoned fields overgrown with weeds and vacant houses from time to time, some of which had collapsed due to the passage of time.

The North Star Mansion gave Element Sakura the feeling that it was desolate, bleak, and unpopular.

When we arrived at Guiguang Town, the prefectural city of Beixing Mansion, the situation was a little bit better. The chief envoys in charge of civil affairs, the commanding envoys in charge of military affairs, and all the officials in charge of punishments and inspections came out. Greeted.

It's no wonder that they are so ostentatious. The Zhuo Fan and Dingxianghou who took office this time are the immediate bosses of the chief envoy and the command envoy.

In addition, Princess Anqing and Princess Herring are also in the team, can they not welcome them warmly?

Some people in the town must have been confessed, and they lined up neatly to welcome them.

But Element Ying noticed that, except for a small number of curious people, most of the people looked numb.

Can it be numb?
How many senior officials of the imperial court came and went from Beixing Mansion?
At the beginning, the people were looking forward to someone who could change their status quo and bring them hope.

However, year after year, officials came and went, and changed crop after crop, and their lives did not change much.

Zhuo Fan and Yuan Yuanying separated from Dingxianghou's family, and each belonged to their own divisions. There are too many things to do right now.

Seeing that Zhuo Fan and the head of Qingyu County had a meeting as soon as they came, several political and councilors did not dare to be sloppy and asked competent officials to bring all the information.

In the conference hall, some officials were a little surprised to see the Lord Herring accompanied by her. Women can also participate in politics?

But when they saw that their superiors had no objections, they didn't say much.

Everyone didn't say anything, but Element Ying wanted to give an explanation. She took out the emperor's edict from the sandalwood box:

"This is the Holy Majesty's edict, and I was specially allowed to assist Zhuo Changtian when he was serving as the chief envoy of Beixing Mansion.

It is enough for internal officials to know about this matter, and there is no need to publicize it to the outside world. "

Several officials who participated in politics and councilors reviewed the edict, and then nodded to everyone.

The officials in the hall were extremely shocked, and looked at Element Ying with awe.

What a profound background and ability the Lord Qingyu must have to allow the emperor to issue such an edict.

Element Ying retracted the edict and asked, "Do you have the latest population statistics of Beixing Mansion last year?"

Councilor Xue Xiangnan hurriedly presented the statistics: "This is the latest statistical document, please have a look at it, Lord Herring County and Zhuo Fantai."

Element Ying and Zhuo Fan gathered together and looked at it, feeling extremely heavy in their hearts.

The area of ​​Cangyuan Mansion is only one-fifth of that of Beixing Mansion, and the latest population has reached more than 700 million.

As for the entire Beixing Mansion, last year's statistical population was only over 100 million, including nearly 30 permanent troops.

No wonder Beixing Mansion is called poor, the common people can't even afford to support themselves, how can they support the army?
Although it is said that the army will be self-sufficient in the non-war period, the backward productivity, harsh environment and frequent wars may not even have the opportunity to recuperate.

Zhuo Fan looked up at Xue Xiangnan: "Is this the real population of Beixing Mansion? Are they all counted here?"

Xue Xiangnan hurriedly took out another booklet: "The county lord and the vassal, please take a look, this is the rough statistics of the black households in Beixingfu.

Because the statistical work is difficult and has not been updated for two years, only approximate figures are available. "

Element Sakura looked down, good guy!The population of black households is actually more than the statistical population of registered households!
This is just an approximate number, the real number must be much more.

Element Sakura: "..."

Can this Beixing Mansion still recover?Are the former officials all dead?

Seeing Element Ying's unkind eyes, Xue Xiangnan hastily explained: "Master Rong, many of these are actually problems left over from history.

During the Emperor Jing Dynasty, there were several forced conscription orders in Beixing Mansion. Regardless of whether there were unattended children in the family, and regardless of the number of fathers, sons and brothers, as long as they were of the right age, they were all forcibly recruited into the army.

The people had no choice but to drag their families with them and fled into the mountains one after another.

Most of the soldiers who joined the army fled halfway, because they were afraid of being punished when they went back, and they all hid in the barren mountains and mountains where no one traveled.

After the current Holy Majesty ascended the throne, Beixing Mansion has already been a mess. Although funds are allocated every year to find ways to improve it, the military expenditure is not enough. How can we spend a lot of effort to clean up these black households?

On the contrary, the people who originally had household registration could no longer live in Beixing Mansion, and they also left Beixing Mansion one after another, becoming refugees who fled to other mansions.

After the incumbent official at that time gave the report, the Holy One asked the government to repatriate these refugees to their original places, but the refugees who were repatriated were unwilling to enter the household registration and pay taxes again, so they also fled to the mountains one after another.

Now that decades have passed, some of those black households have gathered into villages, and some have even integrated large-scale cottages with military power.

It took the government several years to make this vague and approximate statistics.

People in some villages ran away when they saw the people from the government, and they didn't come out until the people from the government left.

Those large and small cottages are even more overbearing. If the family members are easy to talk, they can still chat a few words.

When family members are difficult to talk to, sometimes they greet them directly with sticks and guns. For this reason, many colleagues in the department were injured on duty.

But if you want to send the army directly, one is that it consumes too much, and the other is that if you are not sure, you will directly force those people back.

There is a decree from the Holy Spirit that there should be no civil strife in Beixing Mansion, so everyone dare not use force lightly. "

Zhuo Fan asked: "Didn't the previous chief envoys think about the soft policy?"

Xue Xiangnan's face became even more bitter: "How can I not think about it.

The successive vassals appointed by the Holy Majesty were deeply entrusted by the Holy Majesty, so they naturally tried their best.

Those who divided the fields, those who built houses, and those who sent them to school, brought back a small group of people, but only a very small part.

What's more, to this day, there are still people running into the mountains.

In some cases, the whole family may not necessarily have gone to the deep mountains, and there may be one or two people who have registered residence outside.

Once the tax is collected, it will naturally be able to pay less. If the policy changes, the person who occupies the household registration can also inform the people in the mountains to deal with it.

It's funny to say, sometimes when there are fairs in the town, most of the black households in the mountains come to do business and buy things, but those of us in the government have to turn a blind eye and close our eyes, pretending not to see it. "

Xue Xiangnan sighed: "At the end of the day, it's because of poverty. It's hard for people to support themselves, so why are they willing to pay taxes and apply for corvee?"

But if you want to reduce or exempt the tax of Beixing Mansion, let alone whether the emperor agrees or not, the local officials in other lands will definitely not agree.

why?
Because these troops in Beixingfu are supported by taxes from other regions.

It's like a team of normal people dragging a sick child, and it's not bad to share the living expenses for you, but you still want to do nothing and eat and drink for free?
Normal people have to argue too.

If it weren't for Beixing Mansion to hold back, other prefectures might be able to fight for more benefits for themselves!
This is why, the emperor appointed Zhuo Fan as the chief envoy of the Beixing Mansion, and none of the six senior officials had any objections.

Regardless of whether it is from a short-term or a long-term point of view, the Herring County Lord's solution to the problem of Beixing Mansion is tantamount to solving the problems of other land boundaries.
