Chen Yiding's reaction to the members of the Datong Society is not strange, if it weren't for Liu Ximing's intervention, he wouldn't have been blind to these before.

"The imperial court taxes include summer taxes, autumn grains, equalization, miscellaneous and many other items, and what we want to talk about today is the uniformity."

"We have a lot of mountains in Sichuan, especially rich in tall forests, because from the Yongle period the imperial court has a wooden service in Sichuan, until the Wanli period, because of the resistance in many places in the province, the imperial court will cancel it, this matter should be known to everyone."

The people in the courtyard nodded one after another, this change of wood service has a far-reaching impact in Bashu, and everyone naturally knows it.

The so-called wooden service, in fact, is the imperial court in order to build the palace levied and issued, at first only levy and issue conscription, and then slowly changed to allow the depreciation of silver to offset the service.

However, because the palace eunuchs were sent to collect it, these people levied violently, and the people of Sichuan, who had been forced for a long time, complained, and finally caused a change in wood servitude.

In the Wanli period, because the treasury was weak, the imperial court had not started large-scale projects for a long time, and after the outbreak of resistance in Sichuan, the imperial court pushed the boat to remove it.

Chen Yiding's face showed a sad look, "Originally, Chen also thought so, but recently I combed through the copywriting of the prefecture and county, and found that there was something strange in it. ”

"The wood service of this government is worth 1,723 taels of silver, but since the abolition of wood service in the 20th year of Wanli, this government has added a tax on silk and silk, and the raw silk has been increased by 2,154 horses in vain, which is exactly 1,723 taels according to the calculation of eight coins per horse."

"Wow", all the scholars present were in an uproar, and they rose up angrily one by one.

"How can this be justified?"

"Where does such a deception come from?"

"Ahem, everyone, please listen to what Standing Committee Chen has said", Liu Ximing saw that the crowd was excited, and hurriedly stood up to stabilize the order.

A group of scholars heard Liu Ximing say hello, although they were a little reluctant, they still slowly lowered their scolding, but they couldn't bear the anger on their faces.

Whoever knows that he has paid taxes for decades in vain is probably going to make a big fuss.

Some sensitive scholars began to notice that the actions of the Datong Society this time must be extraordinary, and several people suddenly became interested.

"Everyone, please calm down", Chen Yiding saw that the mood in the hospital was a little more stable before continuing: "This is not the key, the key is that this tax is only available in Nanchong County, and the other seven counties in the two states do not have this tax." ”

Quiet.

The courtyard suddenly became silent, and the soldiers who were still muttering closed their mouths.

Chen Yiding's words are understood by everyone, the money is only counted on the head of Nanchong County, and other states and counties have not borne it?

So what does it mean to take it out today, and the scholars of more than a dozen other states and counties in the Datong Society suddenly became vigilant.

After such a while, Lei Hong and Tao Wenshi, the scholars of Nanchong County, also reacted.

"Shameless, Shunqing Mansion is shameless, how unfair it is."

"We will definitely go to the book and give justice to the people in my county."

Zhao Xiangyang said leisurely: "The Ding amount of this house is 128,453 people, and the Ding amount of Nanchong County is 36,580 people, so calculated, each Ding mouth in Nanchong County has to pay an extra three cents and three centimeters and seven millimeters of silver." ”

At this time, Lei Hong and the others were even more excited, which was already a heavy burden for a farmer.

Most of the members of the Datong Society are also from ordinary families, and they are well aware of this.

Merely......

Cheng Taiding, Ren Yuanjia and other foreign scholars glanced at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.

We must not allow the Datong Society to make a big deal about this matter, otherwise other states and counties will suffer.

As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way, Nanchong County has been handed over for decades, so what good is it to talk about it.

Cheng Taiding said: "Standing Committee Chen's words are a bit biased, just based on the documents you checked, it doesn't seem to be able to prove that the canceled wood service has been converted to Nanchong County, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, if you want to verify it clearly, you must at least go to the Yellow Book Database of the Ministry of Household Affairs to verify it clearly, Brother Chen is a little irresponsible to say this."

Ren Yuanjia and the others hurriedly followed suit.

This can annoy Lei Hong and others.

"Cheng Tianguang, it's not because you're from Pengzhou that you don't have to pay more for this Laoshzi thing to stir up the situation."

"You Nanchong County have been handed over for so long, who knows if it should have been handed over by you?"

The courtyard was suddenly divided into two factions, and a dozen or so scholars from Nanchong County and another dozen people confronted each other tensely, and no one refused to give in to each other.

Dou Yuquan, Du Liangji and others all looked at Liu Ximing, this matter was instigated by him, so naturally he should end it.

"Ahem, ahem, everyone, please listen to me."

Liu Ximing looked at Dou Yuquan and the others with a smile, there was no panic on his face, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the courtyard was becoming more and more tense, he coughed twice and spoke.

When he asked Chen Yiding to talk about it, he had already thought of possible questions, and he was naturally confident at this time.

"Brother Wujiang, you are also from Nanchong County, and you should seek justice for your Nanchong fathers."

Without waiting for Liu Ximing to speak, Lei Hong blocked it with a word.

Ren Yuanjia was about to sneer at him, and Liu Ximing hurriedly pressed his hand on him.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Liu Ximing glanced at it and pressed down a few eager thorns with his gaze.

"Whether this matter is or not, there are only benefits and no disadvantages with the society, everyone doesn't have to be so out of shape, and even for the people of Shunqing, it is a good thing."

Liu Ximing shocked the people in the courtyard when he opened his mouth.

Cheng Taiding arched his hand and said: "Brother Wujiang, can you say it clearly?" ”

Liu Ximing smiled and got up and paced around to his left.

"As I said just now, the purpose of doing this is to strengthen the prestige of my Datong Society, and also let you gentlemen gain fame in the city, if you only focus on Nanchong County's overpayment of taxes, there will be problems no matter how you deal with it."

"What's more important is that if this trend continues, officials big and small, including Fuzun, will also be disgusted with people like us who stir up trouble, so wouldn't the agency lose money and soldiers by doing these things?"

Lei Hong was a little anxious all of a sudden, he was from Nanchong County, and suddenly heard how he could not be anxious when he heard that the county's fathers and elders had paid more unjust money for decades.

"President, let's talk about the point, how to deal with this matter?"

"Hahaha, Brother Youze doesn't have to be impatient", Liu Ximing just walked to Lei Hong's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

"It is true that Nanchong County has to pay this person's Ding silk tax since the twentieth year of Wanli, and the damage has been more than 40 years, but if this matter is raised to a higher level, my Shunqing Mansion has not paid more than 40 years in vain."

"That's still what I paid in Nanchong County", Lei Hong raised his hands and snorted coldly.

Liu Ximing smiled and shook his head, "So our focus today should be on how to cancel this tax that should not be collected anymore, so wouldn't everyone be happy?" ”

Tao Wenshi shook his head and said: "Brother Wujiang thinks too simply, I have only seen the imperial court increase taxes over the years, how can I have seen the imperial court reduce taxes, if it weren't for the Sichuan people who swore to fight to the death decades ago, even this wooden servant may not be able to escape." ”

"That's why this is more of the role of my Datong Society", Liu Ximing looked at everyone with bright eyes.

"Of course, it is true that as Brother Xiangli said, it is indeed quite difficult to cancel this tax, but we can ...... like this."

Liu Ximing told his purpose, but of course some details were hidden.

Including Dou Yuquan and the others, they all looked at him like visitors from outside the sky, could this kind of thing still operate like this?

But judging from the various details that Liu Ximing said, it seems that he has considered all the links clearly, so it seems, should, and may not be risky?

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was skeptical, Liu Ximing laughed again.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, just do as I say, now I announce that this meeting is over, please pay attention to confidentiality after the meeting."

The meeting, which was later called the First General Meeting of the Cosmos, came to an end, and with the support of the system, the association that had been like child's play became vaguely more united.

Liu Ximing is not worried that the content of the meeting will be leaked, as he said before, if what he said can be done, all members of the Datong Society will be beneficiaries.

There are bundles of interests, and I believe that no one will be stupid.
