Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 18

"Queen Mother!"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't hear Wei Zhen's sincere wailing, and amidst the eunuch's loud singing of retreating from the imperial court, he asked someone to invite Yun Zhi to the imperial study to discuss matters.

She can wait to hear gossip!

"Empress Dowager, sir."

"Quickly, quickly, quickly." It's almost time for dinner, and listening to gossip can't delay her lunch.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

However, it seems a bit too straightforward to directly say that she wants to hear gossip. What trick should she use to make Yunzhi shake it out?
While Sheng Shaoqing was thinking hard, the system snorted coldly, 【You still owe 49 prestige points, I advise you to be cautious. 】

Sheng Shaoqing: 6, working in debt, right?

Seeing the Queen Mother's silence, Yunzhi opened his mouth, "Is the Queen Mother summoned for tax collection?"

Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else that the queen mother had to do.

Sheng Shaoqing couldn't retort that he wanted to hear about Wei Zhen's family, so he could only nod his head.

"Our dynasty collects taxes, one is land rent, the other is oral tax, calculated tax, and the third is more tax. The late emperor Rende stopped collecting land rent for the people for three years. Delicious tax and calculated tax are not low, so there are still many People are displaced because of this. If you add the land rent as Master Wei said, I am afraid that the displacement will be even worse."

Sheng Shaoqing was stunned. In one sentence, why are they all knowledge points?

What is orality?
Appetite?

And this Fu, does Yun Zhi have an accent?Did he mean to say that it counts?

[Host, the oral tax is a poll tax levied on minors, and the counted tax is for adults, do you understand? 】

Fortunately, she has a system, Sheng Shaoqing was relieved.

[Prestige owes 54~]

The ending of the system was melodious and melodious, and Sheng Shaoqing's heart ached after hearing it.

This system is too dark! ! !Strong buying and strong selling! ! !

[Or, you rely on yourself? 】

Forget it, Sheng Shaoqing confessed in time, she is still very self-aware.

"Then since there is a poll tax, why are there still financial shortages?"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't know if this question would make her look stupid, but with the spirit of not being ashamed to ask, she still gritted her teeth and asked.

Fortunately, Yunzhi's expression didn't change after hearing this, and he replied respectfully, "That's why the refugee problem has become more and more serious. Every year when taxes are collected, the local officials will register according to their household registration and collect taxes one by one, and the overwhelmed In order to avoid paying taxes, people will leave their origins and leave their hometowns"

It turns out that there were tax evasion and tax evasion in ancient times, which is really knowledgeable!
However, when she thought of looking at the tax on the salary slip, which was not much, but compared with the total salary, she also had the sinful idea of ​​wanting to evade tax. It was hard for Sheng Shaoqing not to sympathize with those poor people.

It's hard work, and you have to pay so much tax.

"I entered the pass from the north, entered Helian in the east, and ruled the river in the south and south. Only then did I have this vast territory of Northern Liang. The late emperor Ren De, and the people recuperated for only three years, and Lord Wei raised the land again. Regarding the matter of renting, I really can't bear to ruin the foundation of our ancestors, so I argued with Master Wei in the hall, but whatever the result, I still have to respectfully ask the Queen Mother to make a judgment."

Sheng Shaoqing's history is not very good, but she also knows that the people are the foundation of the country, and the land is the foundation of the people.

People live for a lifetime, but eat, drink and sleep.

The first thing in this list is to eat.

Of course, Sheng Shaoqing would not be so stupid as to ask why they didn't rush to farm the land. If she asked such a question, what would be the difference between her and the idiot who asked "why not eat minced meat"?
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "Then what good remedy do you have?"

Professional things should be left to professional people. She is a layman who studies engineering, so it is more reliable to ask Yunzhi for this kind of thing.

Yun Zhi's eyes lit up, "Chen Chen will present another memorial tomorrow, detailing Chen Chen's strategy. In short, it will change the household to Juntian."
