When he came to Huiwen County, Zhu Xiaobao found that this county was not simple. Because those large and small families are not very strong, and the number of families is not large, but they are very happy, because their taxes are reduced by half. The corresponding taxes for the common people were increased by half. All the laws and regulations are good for these families! The reason is that the people of these families are all descendants or protégés of the university scholar Yu Wenchang.

"Isn't Yu Wenchang the teacher of the emperor back then! Teach some basic knowledge of literacy and hyphenation, so that it will be shadowed by future generations? "Zhu Xiaobao already knew some about the origin of this county before, but I didn't expect that there would be so many unreasonable systems! No wonder Murong Feng said that this county is not easy to manage!

"Master! I'm going to check? The old apprentice actually volunteered to say, he has now left the Great Venerable not to participate in mundane things, and it is very enjoyable to follow this master to do anything!

"Master! I'm going to walk around too, huh! I'll help you visit the county, too! Mu Chunyi also came out and said, this is the first time that Zhu Xiaobao has personally developed and integrated a county, and she, the second apprentice, also wants to help Zhu Xiaobao come up with more ideas. Everyone knows that this time Zhu Xiaobao got rid of Murong Feng and wanted to do it himself!

"Well, it's okay, you can bring Yu Li with you, your martial arts are too low, in case something happens, at least Yu Li can guarantee your safety!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The newly bought house is not small, but there are relatively few rooms in it, and the facilities are simple, and the two thousand female guards have to temporarily set up tents and make do with them first! As soon as the four elders of the Du family came in, they began to decorate the façade of the house, this is the British Palace, of course, there must be the necessary style!

Before Zhu Xiaobao could sit down and catch his breath, the county guard of Huiwen County had already brought his men down to meet King Chitose! It is said that it should be early to welcome Chitose at the boundary of Huiwen County, but now this is okay, and Zhu Xiaobao doesn't care!

"I've seen King Chitose!" This forty-year-old county guard bowed respectfully, this is the first time someone has bowed to Zhu Xiaobao, which makes Zhu Xiaobao a little uncomfortable!

"Excuse me, give Yu Jun a watch!" This is in his own house, so there is no need to be so restrained, Zhu Xiaobao also gave the county guard a seat, Ying Xiuxiu and others also played the role of maids, moved a stool, and then served tea!

"Thank you Chitose! This...... Is it the legendary green tea? Really...... It's very peculiar...... "Yu Junshou's name is Yu Zhongping, and he is also the great-grandchild of Yu Wenchang. There is an unwritten rule in this county, that is, the county guards are recommended from the descendants of the Yu family, and then reported to the imperial court, and it has been passed down in this way! Yu Zhongping is still drinking this brewed green tea for the first time, and he feels that it is average, and he is used to drinking the familiar sencha, and he can't adapt to this way of drinking tea!

"Huh! It's normal to be unaccustomed to drinking, I've just settled here, and I haven't prepared sencha yet, so please give in to the county guard! Zhu Xiaobao smiled and said, this kind of green tea has not been accepted by people, which makes Zhu Xiaobao a little depressed, in fact, he has been constantly improving and trying, and now the taste is already very good, but if you want to change people's tea drinking habits all at once, it still takes a long process.

"Don't dare! Can't! In the next moment, I will send some local specialty tea to the British King Chitose, which was also carefully prepared by the ancestors of Wenchang back then, and now it is the most famous specialty here! Yu Zhongping hurriedly got up and said respectfully, but it seems that he consciously woke up Zhu Xiaobao here, but they are all the descendants and protégés of Emperor Yu Wenchang, and even this special product is handed down by Mr. Yu Wenchang!

"Well, I have to try it!" Zhu Xiaobao smiled faintly, but he was a little impatient in his heart, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he simply asked straightforwardly: "Yu Junshou, why are there two systems of taxation here, and they are treated differently?" Some families have cut their taxes in half, while most others have halved them? ”

'Huh! I'm afraid that Chitose doesn't know, this is a rule that has been passed down for decades, when Emperor Yu Wenchang told the old man to return to his hometown, because poverty can only be built on land, the first emperor thought of his poverty and simplicity, so he reduced half of the tax! We, the descendants and protégés, have followed this rule. As for the taxes of those civilians, it has always been like this, and they are also voluntary......" Yu Zhongping said with a proud expression, but the taxes for those civilians were passed by......

"Oh? So that's what happened! However, Yu Junshou and Huiwen County have been in arrears with the imperial court for many years, and even have not paid a penny at all for two years, what is going on? Zhu Xiaobao said lightly, his expression seemed very calm!

"Back to Chitose, Huiwen County is vast and sparsely populated, the output is not abundant, and there are often droughts and floods, and there is really no extra money and grain to hand over, which the imperial court knows! In fact, Huiwen County has never opened its mouth to the imperial court to build a river embankment, which was paid for by the local squires out of their own pockets! It can be said that he is loyal to the imperial court! In the end, Yu Zhongping looked very impassioned, and all the little treasures who watched it believed it a little!

"Alright! You go back first, go back and send me the county records and the county records of each county, I want to see it! Zhu Xiaobao didn't bother to ask any more, just said lazily.

The county guard said goodbye again very respectfully, and retreated in fear, but Zhu Xiaobao just waved his hand!

When Yu Junshou and the others were gone, Zhu Xiaobao slapped the table and scolded: "What, a bachelor who has been dead for decades can still influence such a large group of people, even the entire Huiwen County, and his disciples and grandchildren can be so lazy and lazy for a lifetime?" Even the taxes that should be paid to the state are in arrears! "Let's have a book

"Xiaobao, this is not a war, these things can only come slowly! I'll wait for Junichi Ki and the others to come back, see what the facts are, and then make a decision! Zhu Rong came out at this time and said softly, she has seen more of this kind of thing, and she has seen more strange things in King Wen's fiefdom, so she knows that it is not so easy to deal with these people!

"Humph! I know, wits and courage! You've seen it, Dou Zhi, hehe, I'll let you see it right away! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly grinned.

"Poof! Then I'll see! Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Xiaobao's appearance, and couldn't help but smile again, the British king, who had a serious face just now, has now become a scoundrel again, I really don't know what way he will do to rectify this county!

The next night, the old apprentice and Mu Junyi both returned, and their expressions were not very good, and it seemed that the news of returning from the visit was definitely not good news!

"Hey, hey! Old apprentice, you have worked hard, you say it first! Zhu Xiaobao poured a glass of wine for the old apprentice very diligently.

"Well, I went to those families that were quite prestigious, and I went specifically to touch their mansions, but I didn't expect that these so-called descendants and protégés of the sages were acting despicably and shamelessly! These people have many slaves and a lot of fields, but they are dignified during the day and do not do personnel at night! The old apprentice said in a very atmospheric manner.

"Hmmm! I saw this when I saw the county guard, they don't have the loftiness and righteousness of the literati......" Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said, this was his deepest impression of Yu Zhongping, and it was also his first choice for him to prepare for the move!

"The heads of these families and the sons of these families chant poems all day long, go in and out of Fengyue places, and eat, drink and have fun every day! When I returned home, I was waiting for three wives and four concubines! It wasn't a big deal, but they had their male and female slaves forcibly every night within and between their families, and I didn't understand what was going on at first. Later, after listening to the conversation among them, I realized that this is how they continue to produce the next generation of slaves among the slaves, so in less than ten years, the next generation of slaves will grow up again, and the slaves in their families will continue to grow!

And many of these slaves are not registered! So on the surface, the population of their family is not very large! There isn't a lot of land, but secretly it's a lot! And in order to prevent these slaves from escaping, they were all shackled.

These so-called literati are also very afraid of death, and each family supports dozens or even more nursing homes, and the martial arts of these people are not weak! ”

The old apprentice told everything he had seen and heard in one breath, and finally took the wine glass and drank it all in anger!

"What about you? It seems that a lot of inside information has been investigated? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry, would you? Zhu Xiaobao turned his head and asked Mu Junichi again!

"We're mainly rounding the civilians! But when they came here, they were deceived, because the land here is cheap and the taxes are not high, so of course they intended to come, but they didn't notice that there was a clause that was very hidden, saying that they would go to those families to work for free in their spare time, saying that this was the special treatment of the descendants of the sages! Of course, if you don't go, then the tax will increase by 50%! Mu Junichi said angrily.

"Huh! I understand that when these commoners arrived at the homes of the descendants of those saints, they found that they were not busy with the work at all, so they could only grit their teeth and voluntarily bear an extra fifty percent of the tax! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly realized.

"Huh? Master, how do you know? Could it be that you gave them the idea? The old apprentice looked at these little treasures in great surprise and asked.

"Fart! Is Lao Tzu like that? With your IQ, I don't know how you cultivated to the Great Venerable! Shut up for me and listen to your sister finish talking! Zhu Xiao immediately scolded angrily, this old apprentice is too eyeless!

"That's right! So those civilians can only bear the extra fifty percent of the tax! Moreover, the local government is very ruthless, and those who can't pay their taxes will directly reduce the commoners to slaves once they exceed two years, and such slaves are divided among these families! ”

"Grass! Aren't they the sages who are so vicious? ”
