Zhao Huan's voice was very smooth, but there was a special magic that could make people calm down and listen to him.

Just like who said it—as the Son of Heaven, even if he speaks in the smallest voice, it will be as deafening as the roar of the Nine Heavens Deities, and people can't help but want to bow and worship.

Shaw is like that now. After hearing Zhao Huan ask if he and the others had been wronged, Xiao De's eyes turned red unconsciously, just like a child who had been greatly wronged.

"I'm so wronged. Wrong! Wrong! I can't wait for grievances! ”

Xiao De was a little incoherent with excitement, and only after forcing himself to calm down did he learn to salute like the usual scholars, and then said: "Qijuan Official, I have either been wronged, or I have some grievances in my heart. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao De couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth - obviously this is not the case, obviously he is not wronged, obviously he just feels a little wronged in his heart, but let himself say it, why is it not like that?

Zhao Huan's mood got better inexplicably.

"Speak slowly, not in a hurry."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "We have time today, I will listen to you slowly today, if there is anything unhappy, if there is anything that I need to help you solve, you can say it slowly." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan casually beckoned Wuxin and ordered: "Go and let people prepare some food and send some wine." ”

"We're not here to eat!"

As soon as he saw Zhao Huan asking people to prepare food, Xiao De suddenly became anxious, and forgot all the half-hung etiquette he had learned from the scholars, hurriedly raised the tray in his hand, and shouted: "We have come to find the official family for something!" ”

Zhao Huan nodded with a smile and said, "You speak slowly, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Hmm!"

Nodding vigorously, Xiao De took another deep breath and said, "We came to the official family because we want to pay taxes like other people in the Great Song Dynasty, don't think about three years of exemption and five years of halving!" ”

When Xiao De said this, Zhao Huan was suddenly a little confused.

There are more than 1,000 counties in the more than ten places in the Great Song Dynasty, one is counted as one, which one is not trying to take advantage of the imperial court? How did it come to this Xijin Mansion and the other way around? Don't want to take advantage of it?

Also, there are indeed three exemptions and five reductions, but when this rule was set, it was for the people to open up the barren land with preferential treatment, why did the Jinfu also start to engage in three exemptions and five reductions?

Just when Zhao Huan was confused, Xiao De said aggrievedly: "The Ding Governor of our Xijin Mansion said that it was the grace given by the official family, and the land allocated to us was regarded as a borderless land, and according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, taxes should be exempted for three years and halved for five years." ”

God is a Borderland!

There is no wasteland in the actual sense of the word, but it is all land that has been cultivated by the Liao people, but after being captured by the Jin State, the land of these Liao people has become the Jin people, and when the Jin people are built Jingguan, these lands will be re-distributed.

Obviously, Ding Hong, who knew the Jinfu Mansion, played a word game on this matter - the people of the Jin Kingdom who originally occupied these lands were built into Jingguan, and the land naturally became a terra nullius, and the redistribution of the terra nullius to the people was not fully in line with the preferential policy of three exemptions and five reductions?

Of course, Zhao Huan wouldn't care about that little bit of land tax.

Compared with the commercial tax, the tax of the three melons and two dates in the field is really not enough, and it is even less than the few almost monopolistic businesses in the hands of the young government supervisors.

Zhao Huan was satisfied with the performance of Ding Hong, the prefect of Xijin Prefecture, in this matter - Ding Hong specially pointed out that these were the graces given by himself, which was called grace from the top, which could contain the hearts of the people of the former Liao State to a certain extent.

It's just that Zhao Huan never expected that these original people of Liao would be dissatisfied because of this, and they were even unwilling to take advantage of this.

"We came today just to ask the official for an explanation. We had approached Governor Ding before, but Governor Ding said that we were messing around, and drove us out of the yamen, preventing us from paying taxes like everyone else. ”

Xiao De raised the tray in his hand and said, "These are the same deeds in the city as me...... The people signed the papers, and they also wanted to pay taxes like the rest of the people. ”

"Then I'll have to chase you out."

Zhao Huan laughed and said: "Since the court has set the rules, it will definitely not be changed easily, saying that it is three reductions and five exemptions, it must be three reductions and five exemptions, you can't say that you don't pay if you want to, and you can't say that you can pay if you want to." ”

Xiao De stiffened his neck and said, "That's not possible." The official family gave us land, and rescued us from the hands of the golden dog, the official family is our great benefactor, and we should pay taxes to the official family, which is also the reason to go to the world.

Besides, the people in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty are all normal, except for us? Then we don't feel at ease. ”

"Why, you don't want to wait even five years? However, the rules of the court are here, and I can't change them at will. You can enjoy the benefits of these five years in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Seeing that Xiao De and other Khitans recognized that they had to pay taxes like the people in other places, Zhao Huan was also helpless by these people.

"Also, did Governor Ding treat you as outsiders, and didn't treat you as the people of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Why doesn't he treat us as outsiders?"

Hearing Zhao Huan say this, Xiao De was even more aggrieved, his eyebrows and eyes on his originally angular face were wrinkled together, and he looked like a starling with a black face.

"In the past, when the Liao Kingdom was still there, I didn't have been conscripted, but now?"

"Since the Xijin Mansion was returned to the Song Dynasty to the present, we have not been conscripted once!"

"Later, I heard that the Great Wall was being built in Fengshengzhou, and we thought that this time we should levy our conscription, right? For this, we even have dry food ready! But ......"

"But there's still nothing wrong with us!"

"Later, I wanted to go to the government to ask, but I was kicked out by the prefect of Nading, who said that if we want to work, we can go casually, but it is not a conscription for us, but we will be paid."

"Isn't he a bully?"

"Who has ever heard of paying wages for conscription? Is he just taking us for fools? ”

As if opening the chatterbox, Xiao De's stomach began to pour out the bitter water, and after pouring it, he began to complain: "Officials, we don't ask for anything else, just ask for the same as other people in the Great Song Dynasty, we pay the taxes that should be paid, and we also do the servitudes who should do it, can't we always treat them differently, right?" ”

At this time, Zhao Huan finally understood the grievances of these Khitans - he felt that he was treated preferentially, and felt that the government and the court did not treat them as his own, which was weak and uncomfortable, and the baby was bitter!
