Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 200 Tax Exemption
When everyone heard Zhao Han's question, everyone realized it. They realized that it was almost night, and Xiaoxue's stomach began to growl.

Xiaoxue lowered her head in embarrassment. As soon as Xiaoxue's stomach groaned, a chain reaction started. Everyone's stomachs began to growl, and everyone was a little embarrassed.

"Okay." Zhao Han said: "Hurry up and ask the servants to prepare meals. You can't play games without eating."

Du He quickly ran out to find someone to prepare the meal, while Zhao Han and the others were staring at each other in the tent, not knowing what to do.

"Xiaohan." Li Yuan said at this moment: "Your computer is not enough to play, do you have any more?"

"This..." Zhao Han said a bit embarrassed: "This computer is too difficult to make, and the money used is not a small amount. I don't have any now. I only made this one. Besides, this computer needs electricity. Even if I give it to you, you will pay for it." It’s useless, there’s no electricity in the palace.”

"It's okay." Li Yuan said: "Tell me, how much is it? I bought it, anyway, I won't go back to the palace for a while, and when you go to the palace in the future, just connect the wire you mentioned."

Zhao Han chuckled, thinking that he had made another sum of money, and it happened that he had drawn one in a lottery yesterday.

"The Supreme Emperor." Zhao Han said: "This computer is not cheap, are you sure you want to buy it? You have to think about it."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yuan asked: "Give it to me quickly, and I will give you how much money."

"1 taels of silver." Zhao Han said, "If you're sure you want to buy it, I'll go to the place where you live and install it for you."

"Okay." Li Yuan said: "Come on, I've only watched little Si play this day, and I'm so itchy."

Zhao Han took out the mahjong machine that was drawn in yesterday's lottery, and asked them to play mahjong first, and then went to Li Yuan's residence to install the computer.

After Zhao Han installed the computer for Li Yuan, he returned to his tent and saw that everyone had already started eating. Zhao Hanxin said that this group of heartless people didn't know how to wait for him to come back after eating.

Without further ado, Zhao Han went to an empty seat and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. After everyone had finished eating, Li Yuan went back to his residence to play on his computer, and Zhao Han also had nothing to do. I don't know what to do with myself.

The little ones started to play computer again after eating, Zhao Han planned to go out for a stroll, anyway, it was okay to be idle, Zhao Han just stepped out of the tent when he saw Ma Yi walking over.

"Where did you go these two days, kid?" Zhao Han asked, "I said, why haven't I seen you for two days since I came back? Where did you go to play, kid?"

"Return to the young master." Ma Yi replied: "I have gone to other places to recruit people these days. Now Xingyang Village is extremely short of manpower, so I went to other counties to recruit people. I just came back today. What do you have, young master?" order?"

Hearing Ma Yi's report, Zhao Han remembered that Xingyang Village is full of retired veterans. There are very few young people here. Now that he is vigorously developing Xingyang Village, the shortage of people is really serious. Fortunately, Goudan was asked to repair it yesterday. Road, as long as the road is repaired, there will be more people in Xingyang Village.

Zhao Han asked Ma Yi, "How many people did you recruit this time?"

"Back to the young master, this time the young one recruited less than 100 people, and they are all the surrounding villagers, and they said that they can only do the autumn harvest, because they still have to harvest in the autumn, and the young one promised them that they came here."

Zhao Han thought about it, and thought that this was not enough. Now Xingyang Village needs too many people, and now it needs to build roads, and more people are needed to build roads.

"That's it." Zhao Han said: "You don't have to worry about recruiting people. I will figure out a way, and you can handle the things I leave to you."

"Don't worry, young master." Ma Yi said firmly: "No matter what the young master orders, I will do it for you."

"Don't be shy." Zhao Han said: "I haven't said anything about it yet, you must take care of it, don't talk so badly."

"Yes." Ma Yi lowered his head and said, "Master, I was wrong, and I will never do this again."

Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "Since Your Majesty has granted Xingyang Village to me, I have no time to ask about it. In this way, you can make an announcement saying that all elderly people over forty without children will be exempted from agricultural tax. Families with retired soldiers will be halved. If those who come from other places follow this rule, I have also improved the sledge for plowing the land. The efficiency of the previous sledge for plowing the land is too low, and the cultivated land is also less. I improved it. At least the efficiency of the sledge is more than double that of the previous one, and the newly improved family will receive one for free, you can go to Goudan and ask him to find more carpenters to make the sledge, and that’s all for now, let’s do it early tomorrow morning.”

"Young master..." Ma Yi said in a bit of a dilemma: "Although His Majesty rewarded the young master with [-] households, we have to hand over the rest to the court on time. Young master, you... you are tax-free and half Yes, this gap is huge, and young master, you also said that the same is true for foreign population, young master, do you know how many people will come to our Xingyang Village if you let others know what you said, and when will the young master do? what?"

Zhao Han thought to himself that his current fiefdom is about the size of a city in modern times, and the population of a city in modern times is several million. The total population of the Tang Dynasty is only tens of millions. It is impossible for everyone in the Tang Dynasty to Come to your own Xingyangzhuang, right?So Zhao Han is not afraid at all.

"Okay." Zhao Han said nonchalantly: "Just follow what I said, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Well, go and rest."

Ma Yi wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhao Han didn't care at all, he couldn't say anything. After all, he was just a housekeeper, so he couldn't say too much. , so Ma Yi didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Ma Yi got up and wrote the announcement quickly, and then went out to post the announcement. Just as Ma Yi posted the announcement, a group of people surrounded him and surrounded the announcement wall.

An old man standing next to the bulletin board asked a boy next to him: "Er Er, you are a student, tell me what is written on it?"

Which Er'er stared at the announcement without saying a word. At this time, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the son-in-law would be so generous and dare to exempt the agricultural tax of the widowed elderly, and the retired soldiers would be reduced by half. What a blessing to them.

Seeing that Er'er has been silent, the old man pushed Er'er impatiently and asked: "I said Er'er, why don't you tell me what is written on it?"

Er'er was pushed by Lao Tzu before he reacted. Er'er told everyone what was written in the bulletin. After hearing Er'er's words, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect the son-in-law to be so generous.
