"Yes, this Hongze Lake is vast, but we have walked all the way, but we haven't seen many fishermen (Emperor Leng Meihuang: Chapter 507 of the Noble Girl)." Gu Xinyue frowned slightly and said.

"It's not that there isn't, there used to be a lot." Yuan Zisu said softly: "But a few years ago, because of the first emperor's hunting and fishing tax, it caused a rebellion from fishermen and nearby villagers, and they simply entered the lake and became water bandits. ”

Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Hunting and fishing tax? ”

"Even if you go up to the mountains to hunt and go into the water to fish, you have to pay taxes." Qin Qi's face sank and said.

Yuan Zisu nodded and said: "The Central Plains is not as good as the northwest, there are few people who make a living from hunting, and the prey they catch is also eaten by themselves, that is, they are sold, and they do not say that they have to pay taxes, and the fishermen who make a living by fishing are just a poll tax of dozens of yuan, but the hunting and fishing tax of the first emperor requires five taels of silver a year, as long as you go up to the mountains to hunt or go into the water to fish, you must pay the tax according to the head, and moreover, it is according to the whole family." ”

Sighing, Yuan Zisu continued: "Those fishermen and hunters are poor people, they don't have the land to do such a living, how can they afford such a high tax, many people collect their bows and stop nets, and simply change careers, but the state capital by Hongze Lake does not let those people change careers, and bluntly said, they used to be fishermen, and naturally they will fight in the future, just find those people to collect taxes, and for a while, many families are ruined, which caused public anger, but the local state government reported it, but it was Diao Min's rebellion, and the first emperor directly sent troops to suppress ......"

The voice stopped, and Yuan Zisu sighed: "Girl, do you still remember the abandoned small village we met when we came over, that was the fishing village that was destroyed at that time. ”

Gu Xinyue's face sank, and her brows furrowed slightly.

She naturally remembered the abandoned little village, which was on the edge of Chengzi Lake, facing a large and sparkling lake, and the terrain was excellent.

There are many deep bays, and there are reeds.

Whether it's fishing and raising ducks, or relying on those reeds, that place can become a rich place.

However, there, there were only collapsed thatched huts, not to mention human figures, not even fishing nets.

It turns out that it is because of this.

Even if the fishing nets are all put away, they still can't escape.

But even the protest ended up like this.

"Miss Shiso, I know it clearly." After a moment of silence in the room, Qin Qi spoke.

The tone was light, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Even they don't know about this kind of thing, how can a maid in the back house know?

Yuan Zisu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a light tone: "The eldest lady of the Yuan family I originally served was from the Huai'an Xie family, and there was a small Zhuangzi by the lake in her dowry. ”

Gu Xinyue gently pulled Qin Qi, turned to Yuan Zisu and said, "How long ago was that?" ”

Yuan Zisu smiled and said, "It didn't take long, but it was five or six years ago." ”

"And now, this tax is still there?" Gu Xinyue thought for a while and asked.

If there is still this tax, then she will have to give up what she wants to do.

A man's head is five taels of silver......

You have to lose everything you raise.

Yuan Zisu glanced at Qin Qi, shook his head and said: "It has been abolished, not only were there people making trouble here, but there were also fishermen in Taihu Lake and the East China Sea who couldn't survive, and there were troublemakers everywhere, but in so many places, only the governor of Changzhou directly went to Wanyan, and explained in detail the harm of the hunting and fishing tax, and bluntly said that a disturbance can be suppressed, if it causes turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are troubles in all corners of the world, it is not a trivial matter." This fold was sent to the emperor, coupled with the strong dissuasion of Yuan Ge Lao, the first emperor ordered to abolish this tax, and still collect taxes according to the original practice, but unfortunately, at that time, the edge of Honghu Lake was already a ruin. ”

"This is also what you heard from the eldest lady?" Qin Qi said coldly, Gu Xinyue squeezed his hand hard, and glared at him fiercely, Fang relaxed his facial muscles, and said in a softened tone: "Then Changzhou Zhizhou is Changchun?" ”

He remembered that if it was the governor of Changzhou six years ago, wouldn't it be the Chang Chun who had been re-elected for nine years.

No wonder he was re-elected for nine years......

This is something that should not be said, although the first emperor agreed to abolish the tax, but he must be unhappy in his heart, how could the people below let Chang Chun be promoted.

"I'm just a girl, how can I know the name of a state governor." Yuan Zisu said lightly.

"That's it!" Gu Xinyue glared at both of them and said, "Don't talk about that!" Since there is no bullshit hunting and fishing tax, then, we can do it, that fishing village, see if we can buy it, by the way, can we buy the waters here? I think the reeds and bays in that place are just right, we can set nets to raise fish and ducks, and pigs to raise on the shore. ”

Pigs are not only meat, but also pigskin and bristles can be of great use.

And duck down, that's the warmest thing.

Once the cotton clothes are out, you can experiment with the eiderdown jacket!

Although she also mentioned this in Ganzhou, the climate in Ganzhou is not as good as here after all, and in addition to the fish in the lake, you can't catch it all at once, and if the wind is not right, pigs and ducks can be slaughtered immediately.

If you think so......

Gu Xinyue turned his head and said to Qin Qi again: "By the way, the mill, you can still build two more, let Old Man Lao collect all the rapeseed next to him, this Huai'an Mansion has a large population, it should be easy to sell." ”

There are many, and she will take them with her when she returns.

The Great Northern Wilderness is engaged in construction, but oil is needed.

Looking at her dripping eyes, looking like I was going to do a big job, Qin Qi couldn't help but chuckle and said softly, "You're not afraid of ......"

"Well, we don't need to use our own names, and we don't need to use Fu Fu, you can send a subordinate over and be an ordinary person." Gu Xinyue interrupted him, and her eyes lit up.

Qin Qi nodded: "I know, I'll do it." ”

On the way, Qin Mohan had already said about those little Zhuangzi, and along the way, the two of them were discussing how to lay out while hurrying.

is not only the road to the Central Plains, but more importantly, how to lay out in the south of the Yangtze River.

They don't have any roots in Jiangnan, not to mention officialdom, but the terrain is all black.

(The map is flat)

Not only to establish that kind of small Zhuangzi, but also to send people to explore the topography and landform.

In this way, those Zhuangzi and shops can become strongholds.

The people of the secret door come in handy.

Although he didn't want Gu Xinyue to get involved in these things (dangerous), but since she wanted to do it.

Then he naturally fully supports it.

Just do it more carefully in advance.
