Ji Fa lamented that the efficiency is so high, which is really jaw-dropping, but he also reacted from another angle, and collecting taxes in this way is indeed beneficial to the current situation.

"The fact that the people are willing to pay their taxes speaks volumes." Ji Fa thought in his heart.

"In this way, it is very good, but I am always worried that there will be some other problems when it is collected." Suddenly, he felt some worry in his heart.

In the Song City of the Shang Dynasty, Shen Gongbao hurriedly came to the bedroom of the King of Xu.

"Your Majesty."

"Oh? Is there something wrong with Shen Gongbao? The concubine beside the king took a raiser and put it in his mouth.

The king smiled and touched the side of the concubine's face, and then didn't look back at Shen Gongbao the whole time.

"It's really a dumb gentleman who has no way, Lao Tzu spoke to you, and he didn't even look at it, what are you proud of, it's not the country you fought down, it is clear that you inherited your Lao Tzu." Shen Gongbao was very dissatisfied in his heart.

But Shen Gongbao still didn't say anything on the surface, because after all, now that the king is in power, theoretically he is still his old minister.

So Shen Gongbao opened his mouth and said: "The king has recently had some movement on the side of the Zhou State, I should report to you some, the Zhou State has increased the tax collection on the people, each person is a knife coin, and some people have to pay two knife coins." ”

In fact, Shen Gongbao here is obviously wrong in intelligence, which further shows that Zhou Guo's defense work is doing well, otherwise, Shen Gongbao will not only know what it is, but not why.

In fact, those who join the witchcraft sect pay two sword coins, and those who join the healer faction pay one sword coin, which is also revised by the latest Ji Fa faction, so that since then, the taxes of the Zhou State have increased, and there are enough financial, manpower, and material resources to build these new school buildings.

Rather than simply collecting taxes for the sake of paying taxes, this is obviously not understood by Shen Gongbao, but this is all for later.

After hearing this, the king smiled and said: "It's not normal for a vassal state in a big place to collect some taxes, and after collecting it, you will be able to pay tribute to my big merchant country next year, and you want to say that the Zhou country is also small enough, but it is no wonder, after all, it is a small border country, and the people are poor, otherwise, the collection of taxes will not only collect one or two coins." ”

"Shen Gong Leopard." The King of the Rings suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

"The minister is here." Shen Gongbao is a spirit.

"The order goes down, and the subjects of the Lonely Merchant Country, every strong laborer, are charged a tax of a penny, well... What should you think of? Well... If you have it, let's call it the lonely reward money, which is a reward from the lonely king to them, and it is a gift and honor for them to be ordered by the lonely king to personally collect their taxes. ”

"King Nuo, the minister will do it."

"Hahaha."

Shen Gongbao turned around and walked, and the sound of the king and the concubine laughing came from behind.

"Ahh What other gifts and rewards, I'm afraid no one will regard them as gifts and honors, I have already scolded you a hundred times and a thousand times in my heart. Forget it, let him go, don't do my Biyou Palace's business. ”

So after Shen Gongbao left, he passed the order to the relevant yamen of the Shang State, and soon the order reached all places.

When the people heard the news, they wailed and cried, and they were very sad, but they didn't expect to have to pay more taxes, and how could they live in the future.

As soon as the news of the Shang levy of taxes reached the border areas, many people hurriedly packed their bags, bought and sold their family property and land, and began to flee directly with their families, and began to sneak day and night, fleeing from the borders of the Shang State, preferring to bear the name of the exiled people and flee to the Zhou State.

"I heard that the Zhou State does not collect taxes much every year, and is happy to accept us exiles, or is the king of Zhou benevolent, righteous and virtuous, when will our king die? We are willing to perish with Him. ”

The people's hatred for the king has reached such a point.

The border guards of the Zhou State soon found a large number of homeless people, who came to the border one after another, and after confirming their identities, they sent the eight hundred miles of urgent letters to Ji Fa, and Ji Fa was relieved when he saw it.

"I just wanted to say that something will happen, this king of Zhou, soon caused trouble, it's really ridiculous, Lao Tzu collects taxes, for the development of the people and the two factions, you collect taxes not only for no purpose, but also to squeeze wealth from the hands of the people, so that it angers the people, and what's even more ridiculous is that this king also got a name for rewarding taxes, my God, it's really stupid."

Ji Fa is about to die of laughter, he originally collected taxes from the people, and the people were already very unhappy, you still want to blatantly say, forget it, even use such a ridiculous name, doesn't it make the people even more angry, no wonder so many people have left the Shang Kingdom and want to come to my Zhou Kingdom.

"All of them were received, and these displaced people were ordered to reclaim wasteland, and they were not allowed to buy fields for three years, and all of them were self-reliant, and they were not allowed to engage in other industries except for plowing the fields, weaving, and farming." Ji Fa directly issued the royal order.

"King Not."

Soon Ji Fa's royal decree was issued one by one to all places, and the officials in various places on the border, after receiving the news, opened the gates of the city one after another to receive these displaced people who fled from the Shang country.

Soon, under the arrangement of the government, these displaced people began to be settled, and the area was specially demarcated for them to be managed, so that they could build their own houses, and measure the land outside the city, so that they could freely choose to cultivate, and register with the government.

When the homeless people found out, they entered the city one after another, and they were very happy that they finally had a place to stay.

When they heard the order of the king of Zhou, they were ecstatic, ploughing the fields and weaving cloth like this, originally they would not have any other industries, as for some businessmen who had spare money and wanted to do business, they had no choice but to buy other people's fields and began to cultivate them themselves.

"King Zhou is kind to us and gives us a place to stay." The homeless people praised one after another.

"In this way, the wisdom of my Zhou State will form a sharp contrast with the brutality of the Shang State, then the people who can't stand the abuse of the Shang State in the future will come to my Zhou State one after another, in this era of underdeveloped productivity, who has a large population, who has more people, who is the ultimate winner and strongest." Ji Fa said with foresight.
