Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

In fact, Jiangyin Hou also knew in his heart that this marriage was a certainty, and it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.

Isn’t the marriage between the founding hero and the heavenly family a child’s play?!

But he is now extremely satisfied with Zhu Rong, even if it is a probability that a loss may go wrong, it will not be allowed to happen.

Now the old man’s only wish is to build the Qi Royal Mansion well, so that His Royal Highness King Qi and his own youngest daughter can marry smoothly, so that the stone in his heart can be landed steadily.

Not to mention Jiangyin Hou, in exchange for any father under the sky, looking at this army of potatoes like a long dragon, who can withstand it?

In the Daming Dynasty, many ordinary people have not been able to eat, and countless people starve to death every year, and this is still without a particularly serious natural disaster!

And His Royal Highness King Qi came down to Qidi, and in just a few months, he obtained such a gratifying harvest, and it was an unprecedented harvest, with an acre yield of 20 stone, who can withstand this?

Of course, a good harvest requires taxes, and the Ming Dynasty’s taxation of the people is relatively loose, especially at this stage in the early Hongwu period, and the national policy itself set is to rest and recuperate.

Because of years of war, the homeland is dilapidated, and everything is in ruins, whether it is all industries or populations, it is extremely withered in the war.

Now, it is time to recover, and taxes cannot be too high.

The more the founding monarch, the more attention he attaches to the rest and recuperation at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was from a peasant background, and he had a natural tendency towards peasants, except for the Jiangnan region, which produced more grain, the taxes of peasants in other parts of the Ming Dynasty were basically about 5% to 10%.

This also included the taxes of the vassals in the fiefdom, known as royal taxes.

This year, the king of the Qi clan, Zhu Rong, has already taken up the domain, and the royal tax does not need to be paid to the imperial court.

However, most of the taxes still belong to the imperial court.

The basis of the Daming Dynasty’s Tian Fu was a two-tax system, that is, a summer tax was levied every year in the eighth month of the lunar calendar. In the second month after the autumn harvest, an autumn grain tax is levied.

And now it is not yet time to collect the summer tax, but the potatoes have a bumper harvest ahead of schedule.

Potatoes, on the other hand, naturally belong to the category of grain and must pay taxes to the imperial court.

The prefect of Qingzhou and other prefectures and counties, including Tie Xuan, the envoy of Jinan Province, have now learned that potatoes must be stored in cellars for a relatively long time.

If it is dried after cooking, or even stored with salt and other methods, it will extend its shelf life again.

It can be said that it is a rare treasure.

However, if it is transported on the road and exposed to the air, his storage time is limited.

And the potato, once sprouted, can not be eaten, because it has produced toxins in it.

This year is Qidi, the first time to harvest potatoes, everyone does not have much experience, if it is said that to push the summer tax, and then transport the potatoes to Yingtianfu, everyone is worried that it will break on the road.

Because the temperature was higher at that time, would it make it easier for this thing to sprout?

Therefore, after receiving the potato taxes paid by the peasants, the yamen of various prefectures and counties arranged troops non-stop and escorted them to Yingtianfu.

Hundreds of miles away.

In the era of the Daming Dynasty, it is really not close.

And Tie Xuan of Jinan Province also intends to invite credit, although the potatoes were taken out by His Royal Highness King Qi and he vigorously promoted them, but the credit for the bumper harvest of Qi is also to be credited to him, the envoy.

His Royal Highness King Qi does not occupy the political achievements, after all, he is already the king of the entire Qilu land, and he cannot be sealed.

Moreover, Tiehyun is a local envoy, and he can go one step further and even step into the court.

Although he didn’t take the Seventh Prince very seriously, he felt that he was not valued by the emperor, and he was also one of the many princes who was not very successful, but this time, I have to say that the Seventh Prince’s luck was really good.

His good fortune made the whole Qi land harvest a great harvest.

Tie Hyun couldn’t help but be shocked!

Of course, the credit should be your own, and you must not be left behind.

The chapter should be written, and the potatoes should be transported to the capital, so they should be transported to the capital quickly.

Tie Xuan can already imagine the picture in the court, this is not yet the time for the summer tax collection, Qi Di has already sent the tax over, which will definitely scare many people.

Tie Xuan’s heart was nourished, and he waited for him to return to the court, and even began to imagine himself paying homage to the minister.

The waterway is too slow and laborious, and all states and counties take the land route.

Therefore, one team after another, escorted by officers and men, went to Yingtianfu.

Although it was a carriage pulling potatoes, most of the people walked to Yingtianfu on their legs.

This is not the same as Zhu Rong’s rapid rush to Qingzhou at that time, but this speed is very slow, and now Zhu Rong’s asphalt road project has only just begun, and the roads in Qingzhou City have been completed and extended a little outside the city.

This ordinary official road is inevitably full of potholes, the speed cannot be raised, and it is even more muddy and difficult to walk when encountering rain.
