He went down to rest and made a list of the ordnance and weapons he was to buy.

Liu Guo asked, "Lord, who are you just talking about?" ”

Han Jiang replied: "Temujin, starting from his great-grandfather's generation, four generations have had a blood feud with the Tatar tribe, according to the Tatar Alie, Temujin's wife was snatched away, and nine months later he was rescued by his godfather's pressure, but he was already pregnant with Liujia, and the Tatar tribe could not escape from this matter, this feud is a bit big." ”

Li Er took a look: "It's not that the hatred is a bit big, it's not a common thing." ”

"Yes." Han Jiang nodded: "That's it." ”

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not know much about the grassland, they only paid attention to the Jin State, which was controlled by the Liao State when the Great Song Dynasty was founded, and the Later Jin State went south to the Great Song Dynasty and was too far away from the grassland.

For Han Jiang.

The hatred between Temujin and the Tatars doesn't need to know too much about history, just watching TV dramas has too much.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Han Jiang ordered someone to prepare a banquet.

Suddenly, Han Jiang looked at Li Er: "General Li, I suddenly reacted, the East and West Second Mansions are deliberating, why didn't you go." ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but quickly replied: "When the military and political affairs require the participation of the officials in charge of the military department, I will occasionally invite a few small officials of the military department to inquire about some things, and the squires are all false, not to mention that I, a scholar who has not yet officially joined the company." ”

Han Jiang was even more embarrassed than Li Er.

Han Jiang still doesn't know the court well enough.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was set up to divide the power of the minister, and then the military power was left in the Privy Council, and three divisions were set up to divide the power of the household department.

After the small banquet in the flower hall, the maidservants carried away the food table and replaced it with the tea table.

Liu Guo smelled the fragrance of tea and said: "I was thinking a few days ago, Wancheng is missing an important tax, this kind of tax has existed since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty became a rule, the Tang Dynasty prevailed, and we also implemented it in the early Song Dynasty, and then it slowly stopped, and after arriving in Lin'an, there was no more at all, we have to collect this tax, and we have to collect it heavily." ”

Raise taxes?

This is a bit too much, Wancheng is still constantly fighting against the pressure from the Jin country, and the wheat has only been planted for a long time today, and next year will be the real first harvest season Will this raise taxes cause large-scale protests.

Liu Guo didn't look at Han Jiang's expression, and continued: "Reading history ꓹ There are too many single people in our Great Song Dynasty ꓹ So single people have to pay taxes ꓹ And they have to pay heavy taxes, and if they are serious, they will be taken back to hard labor, and if they are serious, they will be arrested and put in prison." ”

Han Jiang was stunned.

What, if you are single, you will go to jail, don't be so ruthless.

Han Jiang asked: "How old is this ꓹ going to jail if you are single?" ”

Liu Guo obviously thought about it seriously: "The man is twenty-two years of hard labor and twenty-six years in prison." ”

It's terrible, Han Jiang was still single in his thirties in his previous life.

Han Jiang asked again: "What about how many of you are still single?" ”

Liu Guo smiled: "Then punish him so hard that his life is worse than death." ”

This expression, this tone, Han Jiangxin said that if you put it before you cross over, you will probably be tired to death in the mining post After all, you are more than thirty singles before you cross over.

Shi Dazu expressed his support: "This tax is good, in the past, only the tax of women not marrying, let's collect the tax of men not marrying, this is good, very good." ”

Han Jiang didn't quite understand.

Shi Dazu explained: "There are too many people in our Great Song Dynasty who don't marry or don't marry, men don't marry, especially scholars, who are full of thoughts about becoming an official and a third grade, maybe they will be caught by the princess, the county lord, and the princess and the girl of the general's family, so naturally they can't marry a wife too early, which is self-destructive future." ”

"The girl from the powerful family is naturally unwilling to marry, so she would rather wait until she dies of old age than marry casually. For the rest, the dowry is so high that many people can't get married. If we raise taxes, we can force many people to get married, and we can also reduce the atmosphere of generous marriage. ”

Han Jiang didn't interject at all.

The two of them are completely together.

In a word, a tax increase.

Torture a single dog to death, not only have to pay taxes every year, but also seriously pull it to work as a coolie.

And there are even more terrible rules, those who have status must marry more than two.

Why.

Because the number of women who fled to Wancheng was at least twice as large as that of men. Jiaozhi is even more terrifying, the number of women is about four times that of men, and the Great Yue Kingdom has been forced to do hard labor over the years, and I don't know how many young people have died of exhaustion, plus the war, all the men who died.

Seeing that the rules were about to be set, Han Jiang interjected: "I think so, if you take a soldier to be single for a long time, the military salary will be reduced, and if you marry a wife as long as you have a child, add 50% of the military salary to your family." ”

"This is good, I have to add it."

It turns out that it's not a joke, it's all true.

They really intend to raise taxes.

The question is, is this appropriate?

Han Jiang plans to get involved, in Han Jiang's heart, he can't bully a single dog like this, it's better to be lighter, lighter. Liu Guo obviously saw Han Jiang's intentions, but at this time he said to Li Er: "Old General Li, we also have a lot of spices, but the lord doesn't have a single star at home, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, uncomfortable."

Li Er understands in seconds.

What spices are bad topics, this tax increase must be done.

For Li Er, the biggest advantage of raising the single tax is to stimulate the growth of the population, and in the future, he will fight the gold country and develop to the south, what can he do without a population.

Population is the most important resource.

Set a small goal first, Li Er hopes to see the population of Han Jiang's controlled territory exceeding 10,000 when he lives.

Of course, this 10,000,000 is not counted.

Li Er pulled Han Jiang: "I said Brother Jiang'er, we are not poor, and we are not bad for money." Anyway, you also brought a coffin back to your father, and you didn't bring anything good to your mother-in-law, so you want me to see it, and transfer 1,800 catties of spices from the big warehouse to move it over. ”

One, 1,800 catties.

Even if this spice is replaced with rice, Han Jiang believes that it will be enough for Xin Yao to eat for a year.

Li Er began to persuade: "Look, it's the New Year soon, you don't need to go back to your parents' house, who doesn't have a friend yet." ”

Han Jiang was excited when he saw what Liu Guo and Shi Dazu were discussing, and he began to rush to the book, he really wanted to go over and see what means these two guys used to abuse the single dog, but Li Er just pulled Han Jiang and didn't let go: "I said Brother Jiang'er, there are some very special fruits, why do you have to give your eldest lady dozens of baskets." ”

"This, okay." As soon as Han Jiang agreed, Li Er rushed to say: "Anyway, if you don't take some things, no one is embarrassed to take some, and you have to give some rewards after a year of hard work." ”

At this time, Liu Guo finished writing, and Li Er let go of Han Jiang.

Liu Guo took the written document to Han Jiang: "This official document will be secretly sent to Wancheng, Lintao, and Jiaozhi, and then returned after revision, and then officially announced." According to our rules, it is absolutely fair to determine such a major event, and we must listen to other people's opinions. ”
