"But ......" praised for a while, Lin Feng pinched it, and stared at Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Cheng Yanjin, what's the matter, I'm not satisfied with our work, come on, let's talk about it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"But this curfew is boring, and I can't hang out on the street at night, which has seriously hit the people's spare time life and hindered the economic development of my Datang."

"The curfew system has existed since ancient times, the people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and if they go to the street at night without anything important, they are either traitors or thieves, so what is wrong with such a policy?" Fang Xuanling was seriously dissatisfied with what Lin Feng said, this curfew policy has always been a good policy to stabilize the country, and it will become boring in Lin Feng's mouth, do you want to go out in the middle of the night to do something bad?

"The people have a busy day, and they can finally relax and have fun in the evening, and they are not allowed to go out, so they can't hold back their illness. Besides, if the two cities are open day and night, and the trading volume increases, the tax revenue will increase. ”

During the Tang Dynasty, the commercial tax in the market in the city was divided into tax and residence tax, and the tax was that merchants from other places sold things in the city, and they had to collect a tax according to 20 percent of the thousand dollars, that is, 2 percent. The residential tax is that the locals do business, and the tax is levied at the rate of 30 percent of the 1,000 yuan, that is, 3 percent.

If you dare to evade taxes by hiding goods privately, you will be caught by the government and confiscated one-third. If the imperial court specifically points out the goods urgently needed by the imperial court, one out of ten will be taken, which is called tax extraction.

This is only for the trading cities, and those merchants from other places, who belong to the merchants, from the place of departure, the state and county through which they pass are taxed on one-thirtieth of the value of the goods. If this passes through 30 states and counties, the cost of goods is equivalent to double.

"This is not advisable." Fang Xuanling disagreed at all: "First, the people work and rest with the sunrise and sunset, which has been the case since ancient times, if the curfew is canceled and the night is open, how can they work during the day?" Isn't it affecting production and reducing food? Second, the curfew is lifted at night, and when it is dark, torches and candles are needed to illuminate, which is both wasteful and easy to cause fires. Third, if there are many people at night, what if there are gangsters in the dark places? ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "The people need to work, just control the time by themselves, in order to live, presumably the people are not stupid." Torches and candles, this thing can cost a few dollars, just collect some taxes, don't you come, a torch is guarded by a Wuhou, anyway, this curfew has to be inspected by Wuhou, which is so easy to appear. And the gangster committed the crime, it would be nice to send more soldiers to patrol. ”

"Leave this matter aside for the time being, come, drink." Li Er doesn't want to hear how to cancel the curfew now, this system has been in place for so long, and it is impossible to cancel it if it is canceled, if it is really beneficial, it will naturally be slowly released.

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Er asked again: "You have returned from overseas, can you tell me what it is like overseas?" ”

"Overseas, gold, silver, copper and iron are everywhere, and jewelry and jade can be seen everywhere, but those natives don't know the treasures and abandon them like shoes." Lin Feng boasted casually.

The three soil buns immediately had green light in their eyes, staring at Lin Feng, as if Lin Feng was a beauty who had taken off ~ light, and they couldn't wait to swallow it in one bite.

"Such a rich land, how can a group of natives be wasted, I want to build a big ship to go to sea, expand the territory, what do you think?" Li Er can't wait to fly overseas now and occupy all the territory, we have just calmed the world, and we are poor.

Fang Xuanling was slightly sober, not dazzled by wealth, and asked, "How far is the overseas land you said from my Datang?" ”

"I think about it, starting from the coast, crossing the east, and heading northeast, about 10,000 miles, to Alaska in the north of North America. There is gold everywhere, but the environment is harsh, the weather is cold, and it is not easy to survive. ”

Lin Feng paused for a moment and continued: "If you start from the coast and go all the way east, crossing 20,000 miles of ocean, you can reach the North American continent where the Indians are located, where minerals and spices can be found everywhere, and there are even many species that I don't have in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Among them, there is a kind of sweet potato, which can be two kinds a year, with a low yield of hundreds of catties per mu and a high yield of more than 1,000 catties, and can be planted in mountains, hills and other places, and is drought tolerant. It's just that it is not advisable to eat more, if it is a disaster year, it can help the lives of the people. ”

The difficulties and benefits are in front of him, Li Er's heart is hanging, and there are a lot of benefits, the only difficulty is that he is thousands of miles away and wants to die.

"So far away, across the vast sea, how did you return to Datang?" In front of him is a person who has returned from overseas, how he came, we can go how we go, Fang Xuanling thought.

"Alas, it's unbearable!" Lin Feng entered the actor mode, and his eyes were red: "Since my father arrived overseas with hundreds of people 20 years ago, I have been missing the Central Plains all the time, and I am getting thinner and thinner. Suddenly, one day I rescued a person on the beach, and learned that the Central Plains had been decided, and built several large ships so that I took more than 200 people to return to the Central Plains first. ”

"Ugh." The three of them sighed, this sea is full of dangers, one is unlucky and dies, and the mineral deposits thousands of miles away are estimated to be useless.

Li Er was now thinking about sweet potatoes, and after sighing, people asked, "Have you brought back the sweet potatoes?" ”

"Although there is a belt, it was lost in the wind and waves." Lin Feng didn't pay for his life, and the eyes of the three gentlemen and ministers were green, and they didn't give any benefit.

"You...... How can such a precious thing be lost, alas, a tyrannical thing! "Li Er's heart is broken, if there is this sweet potato, then it is not a dream to increase the grain income, and it is in front of him to wave his troops to the north.

Fang Xuanling also trembled and pointed at Lin Feng with his right hand: "You bring some extravagant things, but the real treasures are lost by you, you are a great sin." ”

Cheng Yanjin also mixed in: "Lin family boy, this is your mistake, you have to bring wine, and you can't lose this sweet potato, how many lives have you harmed." ”

Lin Feng was put on one high hat after another by the three of them, and he almost went to Suzaku Street to parade the public, and then wore a sign and knelt on the high platform to criticize the fight.

"This, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, the sea is dangerous, it is a blessing to be able to save my life, how can you blame me?" Lin Feng pulled himself inside, and he knew that he wouldn't talk about sweet potatoes.

"Okay, let's talk about it lightly." Li Er's discomfort was unbearable, the ups and downs of life came too quickly and too exciting, and the effort of a few words made his heart rise and fall and gasp.

"What classics have you read overseas?" Li Er wanted to see what knowledge Lin Feng had, whether he was a talent, and whether he could be an official.

"I read a lot, Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, history, geography, and make a phone call to ...... Well, the last one doesn't count. Lin Feng read the names of the novels he had read.

"This mathematics should be arithmetic, this history and geography can also be understood, and this language is the Analects? What are physics and chemistry? Li Er asked. (To be continued.) )
