Datang first village

Chapter 149 Pay the Food Tax

Polenta, tortillas.

It was made in front of Wang Jishan, and the cook who was in charge of the production was instructed by Li Yuanxing himself from the beginning of grinding the corn.

Wang Jishan wanted to talk to Li Yuanxing about many things, not because of the yield per mu, but because Li Yuanxing said that the income of the Wang family in Taiyuan could increase tenfold.

Ten times more?

A ten-fold increase in income is equivalent to 20 years of accumulation of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Can this not be said much?

So, what does Li Yuanxing want?Nothing can be obtained out of thin air.

But at this time, it seemed that it was not the time to ask these words, Wang Jishan calmed down instead, thinking to himself that although Li Yuanxing was young, he was also a very smart person, and he succeeded in disturbing his heart.

And also successfully seduced himself.What's even more frightening is that he even gave himself enough time to think.

This thinking is like a fish struggling in the middle, the more it struggles, the tighter it is.

Now the Wang family is the same, the more he thinks about this ten times huge profit, the more he wants to chat with Li Yuanxing as the head of the Wang family.On the contrary, how could this news spread to the Wang family like this, I am afraid that the elders of the Wang family will gather in Chang'an and have to give an explanation.

King Qin, the terrible young King Qin.

"Old Wang, taste it!" Li Yuanxing put the bowl in front of Wang Jishan himself.

Delicious, whether it is porridge or cake, it is sweet and delicious.This kind of food can be called good food.

"Eight thousand catties of fine grains." Li Yuanxing said at this moment: "Wang Lao brought seven thousand catties of refined grains, and took away twelve acres of corn here. I, Li Yuanxing, will completely teach you the method of growing corn, although I can’t guarantee a yield of [-] per mu, but I can guarantee a yield of [-] per mu!”

The seeds were given so easily.

Eight thousand catties can plant more than 1 mu. If the seeds are kept well, the coming year will be [-] mu or even more.

"Lizheng, [-] acres. You can plan it first." Li Yuanxing gave Lizheng instructions.

Wang Jishan smiled: "Wulang is really bold, so let's do it this way. Ten thousand catties of high-quality refined grains, one hundred sheep, one hundred dolphins, and ten cows. It is considered that the children who support this farm are dedicated to learning. !"

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing really didn't care about this small amount of money. "Come to draw the land tomorrow!"

Wang Jishan also said to the old servant beside him: "Tomorrow, those refined grains will be brought in. If it is not enough, I will add [-]% of the silver to send it!" It doesn't matter if it is exchanged for money. The first, but definitely won't be the last.The seven great family members will also change.

According to visual estimation, the Tang corn in Li Yuanxing's place is at least [-] mu, or even more.

It seems that within three years, Qinwangzhuang's grain production will be enough for the entire Chang'an, and there is even a large surplus.

"Old Wang, how about drinking a cup of tea at the village? My tea is light, but it has a special taste!" Li Yuanxing invited Wang Jishan back to the village to talk about serious business. Naturally, he couldn't stay in the fields.

"Qinwang tea has a unique flavor, so you should taste it!" Wang Jishan called Li Yuanxing's unique tea drinking method for Tang Dynasty as Qinwang tea.Li Yuanxing quickly said: "Actually, the tea leaves are all the same tea, but the method is different. If everyone likes it, the method of making tea can also be known to the world. It is more appropriate to call it Tang tea!"

Wang Jishan nodded with a smile.

King Qin doesn't love money, everyone in Chang'an knows this.But when I think about it carefully, it is accurate to say that King Qin doesn't like this small amount of money.Every time King Qin made a move, if it was less than a million guan, he would definitely not have it.

Li Yuanxing's carriage was too small, and Wang Jishan didn't think it was suitable for him to ride in a carriage with Qin Wang Li Yuanxing.

In the field, you can call Goro.

But after entering Qinwangzhuang, he should naturally be called Qinwang.

As soon as he got close to Qinwangzhuang, he heard shouts from inside, like shouts of killing, and like fighting.

"Go and have a look!" Li Yuanxing signaled the carriage to turn, instead of going directly to his reception room, he went in the direction where the shouts came from.Get out of the carriage from a distance, and approach on foot.

Wang Jishan followed, purely out of curiosity.

The third and outer third floors of the Dongyan Martial Arts Field in Qinwangzhuang were surrounded by people, shouting loudly and loudly.

Seeing Li Yuanxing appear, the sergeants immediately gave way, but they were still shouting while they were farther away from Li Yuanxing.

On the edge of the city, Wu Zhao sat on Su An's shoulder and even waved a small flag in his hand.Because of the distance, she couldn't hear her shouting at all.Look at the white strip of cloth tied to Wu Zhao's arm, and the black strip of cloth on the wrist of the old wolf who pointed at the field and scolded him.

On the square field, two teams are desperately colliding.

The old wolf yelled louder, only listening to the old wolf scolding the idiot.

Wu Zhao really knows how to play rugby.Li Yuanxing smiled and pulled a sergeant over and whispered a few words. The sergeant quickly ran to the old wolf and whispered a few words. The old wolf gave a few orders when changing people.

Side, fake pass, block, pass, bottom!

Score!

The old wolf smiled, and gave a military salute to Li Yuanxing from a distance.This action made everyone discover Li Yuanxing.

The whole field fell silent, because of Li Yuanxing's appearance, the sergeants didn't know whether what they were doing now would make Li Yuanxing unhappy.

But Wu Zhao found Li Yuanxing and pointed at Li Yuanxing with the small flag in his hand: "This is not fair, you can't teach the old wolf black tricks!"

"Play with you tomorrow." Li Yuanxing waved his hand with a smile, turned and left.

After Li Yuanxing left for about a hundred steps, the shouting sound shook the sky again.Wang Jishan saw it, that was an idiot from the Wu family, but this time he wasn't an idiot at all.And far smarter than the three-year-old girl, it seems that she is in command of the white team.

But Li Yuanxing defeated her with tricks.

"His Royal Highness, what kind of combat formation is this?" Wang Jishan asked.

"No, it's a game. Just like polo, it's not only based on physical strength, but also has a lot of skills and tactics. The girl likes to have fun, but the sergeants also like it, which is a good thing!"

Li Yuanxing didn't explain the details, and Wang Jishan couldn't ask too many questions.

When they arrived at Li Yuanxing's reception room, Li Yuanxing chose Tieguanyin and let him make tea himself.There are only him and Wang Jishan in the room.After pouring the tea, Li Yuanxing said straight to the point: "Taiyuan Wang's family, pay the grain tax. One tenth, or two tenths. This grain tax can be used for food or money!"

"Scholars are tax-free!" Wang Jishan replied.

This scholar is a scholar, a scholar among the common people.

It doesn't refer to scribes, or anything else, it's a status, and gentry doesn't just refer to aristocratic families.

Not to mention the big clans with seven surnames and ten families, even among nobles such as Wei Zheng and Li Jing who intermarried with their families, they also preferred the Shandong gentry and would never intermarry with the common people.

"Wang Lao said that he was afraid that if he paid the tax, he would be no different from the common people. The nobles were originally a privileged class, so they would definitely not be the same as ordinary people. But Wang Lao should understand, what does this tax represent? It is just for face. The problem is easy to solve. But the real problem cannot be solved. "

Li Yuanxing's tone became serious.

Wang Jishan is a great Confucian, and he has read many more books than Li Yuanxing.The only difference is that Li Yuanxing lives in an era of information explosion, and the knowledge he absorbs is more complicated, and the knowledge of later generations is deeper.

"The old man wants to hear King Qin's high-level lectures!" Wang Jishan's tone was also very serious.

There are some things that cannot be backed down.

However, as long as the nobles want to save face, plus the privileges they should have, the rest is secondary.

Li Yuanxing pointed to his feet: "This is the land of Qin. In ancient times, there was the Emperor Qin, who conquered the world. But Qin only existed for the second time. After that, the great Han flourished and ruled the world. Even those who commit crimes against the strong Han will surely be punished even if they are far away." A heroic sentence handed down from generation to generation. But the Han Dynasty also perished, the Three Kingdoms rebelled, and the Jin Dynasty perished. It can be said that a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year family!"

When Li Yuanxing said this, Wang Jishan stood up with a pale face.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Don't be afraid, this king is discussing the rebellion in front of the emperor. Why did the rebellion happen, and why did the Sui Dynasty perish!"

Wang Jishan was really scared, because no one dared to discuss the demise of the dynasty.

What's more, Li Yuanxing's sentence, a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year family.These words are heartbreaking words.

"Actually, rebellion is like setting fire. Setting fire in a forest with dead trees is completely different from setting fire in a forest after rain." Li Yuanxing continued to talk, and Wang Jishan even wanted to run away.

If this word gets out, I'm afraid it will affect the entire Wang family in Taiyuan.

"You are afraid, why are you afraid. You still dare not confront the imperial power in your heart, so you are afraid. But, this king said, you touch your chest and ask yourself. If you are in a hurry, what will you do? The rabbit bites in a hurry Man, the dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry!"

As soon as Wang Jishan sat down on the chair, he was already in a cold sweat.

Everything Li Yuanxing said was reasonable, even if it was forbidden, it was still the truth.

"The Great Han Dynasty was destroyed on the land enclosed by the aristocratic family!" Li Yuanxing said harshly again: "Because the great aristocratic family has enclosed the land, the common people have no land to grow. The Great Han Dynasty has no taxes to collect, so the Great Han Dynasty is destroyed. Let me ask Mr. Wang, will your Taiyuan Wang family enclose and occupy land? How much wasteland was there during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty?"

Wang Jishan was speechless, he dared not speak, because any sentence would be a serious crime of beheading.

Even if the Wang family is not afraid of the Li family's immediate ruthless attack, he is personally afraid.Killing him does not mean killing the Taiyuan Wang family.Therefore, the rest of the families will protect the Wang family, but they will not do everything to protect him.

"You're scared, you must be very scared. In a word, you know that the Han Dynasty perished, but others don't know. To put it bluntly, this is knowing that such a contradiction will lead to a crisis of the family and the imperial power. Then Why has no one solved it, is it just because he is a scholar or a concubine?"

Wang Jishan let out a long breath: "Your Highness King Qin, I've accepted it!... But the food tax will never be paid!"
