At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 77
"How can your majesty, with his rich body, do such a vulgar thing? Please rest, old man, do it yourself." Old man Chen stopped in front of Zhao Shi and refused to get out of the way.

"Farming is the foundation of a country, how can you say it is vulgar? Let me try the hard work."

Zhao was here to show off, how could he be stopped by an old man?He persisted and got to the ground.

Watching others cut rice quickly and well, it seems very easy, but within a quarter of an hour, my waist couldn't stand it, and I also got a few bloody marks on my hands.

"Brother, come back and rest quickly." Yang felt extremely distressed.

Zhao Shi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to work so hard. I should work diligently and love the people."

"Your Majesty is wise," Hu Sansheng said, "It's just that the affairs of the court are complicated and the ministers should not be delayed in the fields."

"My original intention is to supervise the harvest, not to delay the government affairs." Zhao Shi glanced at Chen Yizhong and others who were working hard not far away, and said: "That's it, let's go back to the district."

Phew~ Chen Yizhong let out a long breath, straightened up and gave his waist a hammer.

The emperor wants to put on a show, and of course the ministers must accompany him. Otherwise, the calculus of disloyalty and unrighteousness will hit him. But he is old and frail and has been pampered for a long time, so he really can't do it.

Lu Xiufu was young and strong, so harvesting rice was not strenuous. He only started studying at the age of three and rarely farmed. After going to the fields, his skills were unfamiliar and his efficiency was really not high.

The most powerful ones were the young guards. 3000 people spread out in a row and moved forward side by side. They watched a large piece of rice being cut, and the rice was gathered and threshed in the rear.

Streamlined operations, the efficiency is really not generally high.

Seeing the harvested grain being transported to the city at a reasonable price, Ma Tingluan said happily: "Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, the weather has been good this year, so the harvest has been good."

"Can wind and rain be controlled by human power?" Zhao Shi decisively dismissed the blame: "Rain is caused by water vapor rising to high altitudes and falling when it encounters condensation beads. Wind is caused by air rising against each other. These are all natural laws and have nothing to do with humans."

Ma Tingluan blinked and blinked, not knowing how to answer.

Originally I just wanted to flatter him and do it as a routine operation, but I didn't know that the emperor wouldn't accept the move at all.

Of course the emperor couldn't accept it.

Smooth weather is the emperor's credit, droughts and floods are the emperor's fault. Either he issues an imperial edict or fires the prime minister. Why bother?It's better to talk about science and save everyone trouble.

Wenzhou is in full swing, as is Chuzhou, Quzhou and other places. In order to ensure the harvest, the central government has sent many officials to inspect various places.

In Guangzhou in the south, the rent and taxes have been put into the treasury, and the rest is distributed among the people themselves. Anyway, the stone monument is there, and the yamen can see the rent exceeding [-]%.

In Lijia Village, Hewan Township, Heyuan County, Huizhou, Li Laowu looked at the house full of grain, not only was he not happy, but his face was full of confusion.

At this time, his son Li Ning came in and said, "Father, I really want to return the grain to Li Hao. This is hundreds of shi of grain!"

"What can I do if I don't give it? His family has a big business and there are many acquaintances in the yamen. I'm afraid the family will be destroyed." Li Laowu became even more worried.

Li Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Xianggong Wang is in the county. If I don't report it, not only will I not be given food, but the land will also be transferred to my family. Isn't it an industry accumulated over generations?"

His family only had [-] acres of land, barely belonging to a middle-class family. The reason why they had a room full of grain and four grain stacks was because the wealthy family Li Hao transferred [-] acres of land to his family.

To escape the blow.

This year's business has been good, with an average yield of one stone and a half per mu. Tenants paid a rent of 420 shi, and after paying 21% of the tax, [-] shi remained. According to the agreement, Li Laowu's family kept half of it, [-] shi, and the rest belonged to Li Hao's family.

Gold fascinates the eye, and grain also fascinates the eye.

When we first discussed it, we felt that twenty or thirty stones was a lot, but seeing so much rice piled together with his own eyes, Li Laowu couldn't help but wonder, why should he give it back?

When his son said this, Li Laowu couldn't help but feel moved, and said with worry: "If we report him, I'm afraid we'll be punished as well. Our family can't handle it."

"Dad." Li Ning walked in and said, "I heard Mr. Wang say with my own ears that those who accuse are not guilty and only those who evade taxes will be punished. Besides, how can you not take risks with a small amount of money?
Isn't it better to keep the land and grain than to have a son pass the imperial examination?If you fail the exam, generations of people will not be able to accumulate such an estate. "Okay, let's give it a try." "Li Laowu made up his mind.

The father and son did not hesitate and rushed to the county immediately, wrote a complaint and submitted it to the county government.

When Wang Yinglin saw the complaint, he smiled and said: "All the big families in Guangdong have joined me!"

Next to him, the county magistrate Nie Hui said: "The prince is wise, this time all the big households must eat this yellow lotus."

"Let's stop talking and go to court. I will personally hear the case." Wang Yinglin entered the lobby.

Li Laowu and his son told the matter in detail, and handed over a piece of paper, saying: "For the sake of safety, Li Hao made a written statement, stating that he would lend the villain [-] guan and pledge the land. "

"It's quite comprehensive." Wang Yinglin took the note and read it, and said with a smile: "The court stipulated that the interest should not exceed [-]%, but he is such a good person."

"Mr. Sir, I'm afraid it won't be easy to hold him accountable." Nie Hui said worriedly.

"If the money is not delivered, how can it be counted? Besides, won't witnesses come?" Wang Yinglin said: "Li Laowu, I want to ask you, can Li Hao demand food?"

Li Laowu replied: "Yes, his family has [-] acres of land, [-] acres of which were divided among ten households. None of them wanted to give it back, so he went door-to-door to demand it in person. He thought he would come to my house tomorrow or the day after."

"In this case, I will personally listen to him admit the matter." Wang Yinglin ordered Li Laowu to explain, and then followed Li Laowu home.

Sure enough, Li Hao came in person to demand food. Li Laowu followed Wang Yinglin's teachings and continued to evade, and induced him to explain the method of falsely transferring the land.

"It's really a good trick!" Wang Yinglin clapped his hands and came out and said: "I falsely transferred the land to evade taxes and paid double the tax. Are you willing to accept the penalty?"

"Villain... villain... accept the punishment." Li Hao hesitated for a while and then admitted dejectedly.

if not?
He is greedy but timid, otherwise he would have run away or even rebelled long ago. How could he dare to resist now that he has heard everything.

Wang Yinglin said: "Your family has [-] acres of land, and you have to pay [-] shi of grain as compensation. If you cannot provide grain, you can use the land to offset the tax, and one acre of land will be worth [-] shi of grain."

The [-] acres of land transferred to Li Laowu belong to Li Laowu. The grain cannot be recovered and the false IOU is invalid. What do you think? "

"The villain accepts his punishment." Li Hao became more and more depressed.

Isn’t it incredible that one acre of land is worth two stones of food?However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the price of land has basically been like this. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong, public land was sold at a consistent rate of one acre, which was unprecedented in history.

You must know that the country has a lot of people and little land, even if the business is prosperous, it shouldn't be so. The low land price is of course the result of the joint efforts of the powerful.

Nowadays, Li Hao can only accept the loss of being dumb, otherwise he will have to walk around in circles.

Of course, this outcome was much better than that of a criminal. At least he was left with [-] acres of land, and it was safe.

Seeing that Wang Yinglin handled the matter so easily, Nie Hui said sincerely: "My husband's methods are very good and should be promoted widely."

"When humans are born, their nature is good, hey!" Wang Yinglin shook his head.

If it were not for the purpose of educating all people, he would have wanted to change the Three Character Classic.

He became a Jinshi at the age of 19, and was appointed as the chief registrar of Xi'an County in Quzhou the following year. The people of the county mistakenly thought that he could be bullied because of his youth, and deliberately delayed the payment of taxes. Wang Yinglin brought him to justice and the people were all afraid to obey, and no one dared to delay the payment of taxes again.

Later, I learned that there were many lawless powerful people in Huizhou. Wang Yinglin struck hard and brought all the powerful powerful people into submission. Now he is in charge of Guangdong, and he also kills many people. Li Hao is really insignificant.

In any case, after the summer harvest is completed and grains are put into storage, private grain prices fall accordingly.

The tasks of various government offices have also been transferred to transportation, and official rations from various locations are quickly concentrated on the front lines for the armies to fight.
