Zhao Gou didn't need to exempt the ordinary people from grain at all, as long as he adjusted and abolished some taxes, he would be the savior of hundreds of millions of farmers.

The summer and autumn taxes of the old Zhao family only look at the proportion less than twenty-one of the acres of land produced, but the consumption of grain and rice, the head money, the Yicang tax, the agricultural tool tax, the cow leather tendon and horn tax, the entry tax, the silkworm salt money, the qu introduction money, the city money, etc., add up to several times the positive tax.

For example, the consumption of grain and rice, the county into the state, the state into the road, and the treasury on the road, there is an additional cost. Positive tax one stone, plus a few liters. In addition, there is Yicang, which collects 1/10 of the regular tax, which is the tax burden that farmers have to bear.

As for the transfer, the summer and autumn grain tax should have been paid at a fixed location, just like the grain station in later generations, and the rabbit was built directly at the township level. However, the old Zhao family often forced the people to send their taxes to their designated places to pay them, which was called branch transfer.

Well, you are Chenzhou (Kaifeng South), don't pay taxes in Chenzhou, you can send them to Luoyang. The imperial court wants to fight the western thieves!

This really saves the government a lot of trouble, smooths out the government's large transportation costs, but increases the burden on the people.

It was even stipulated that first- and second-class households (large and small landlords) should be moved by 300 li, third- and fourth-class households (yeoman farmers) should be moved by 200 li, and fifth-class households (semi-cultivated farmers) should be moved by 100 li.

If you don't want to waste time by yourself, then pay the money happily. During the reign of Yuanyou (Zhezong), the money per bucket of Jingxi Road was as high as 56 Wen, which was equivalent to the amount of positive tax during the period of Yuanfeng (Shenzong). The amount is staggering.

And the so-called "conversion" means that the old Zhao family converts the taxes and goods that the people should pay for the things needed by the government according to their own needs, which is called conversion.

Well, the granary of the imperial court is a little empty, so you don't have to pay for silk and cloth, you have to pay for grain. On the market, a bucket of grain is 100 Wen, and a piece of cloth is 500 Wen, so it stands to reason that a piece of cloth is a combination of five buckets of grain. But the court didn't give you the price of 100 wen a bucket of grain, only 50 wen a bucket of grain, and the cloth was 700 wen a horse, so you had to pay two or three times the amount of grain.

This is the folding.

The Zhao and Song Dynasty government did not follow the market parity with you at all, lowering the price of taxes and materials paid by the people, raising the price of the objects that were discounted, and squeezing the people in disguise.

This is Zhao Song's purpose.

It can be said that the tax policy of the Lao Zhao family is extremely recent exploitation and oppression.

Zhao Gou only abolished and adjusted some tax items, and he didn't reduce or reduce a dime with the people, which was enough to make himself a Buddha in countless families in the north.

This is all the fruit of the old Zhao family's previous planting, Zhao Gou only made a little change, so the effect should not be too good.

Li Ruoxu takes it with him in his hometown all the year round, and unlike Li Ruoshui, he often comes into contact with farmers and tenants.

"So what?" Li Ruoshui's face turned red.

"So the official family in the south is doomed to be nothing. King Yan's army lost one, and the people of Hebei could make up for ten. Therefore, you have to be your upright gentleman and do it yourself, neither I nor my father will stop you. But I still have to accumulate blessings for the descendants of the Li family, and you can't stop me. Li Ruo's words were so reasonable that Li Ruoshui didn't know how to refute them. In the end, he could only stiffen his neck and say: "The affairs of the world are in my generation, how can a rough and evil man do it?" ”

"Heh, it's the same as King Yan doesn't have a scholar here. In this world, we really need scholars, but is there a shortage of scholars here in King Yan? Li Ruoxu's face was full of sneers.

How many people in the world want to be officials? Zhao Gou is ten times more 'vicious', and there are still people kneeling and licking.

Look at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

Isn't Zhu Ming a civil politician? The civilian-bureaucratic clique with their own will (interests) made the emperor eager to stand in the air. But when facing the vicious Manchu Eight Banners, isn't it also kneeling Ruyi?

Li Ruoshui couldn't say anything more. What are the students and many alternate officials in Bianliang City doing these days, how can he not know?

Seriously, he doesn't know who this world will be after all? If he is really loyal to Zhao Huan, he will not order the door to open without any distractions.

But the inner ethics are also so that Li Ruoshui really doesn't want to respect King Yan, and the two are not compatible in concept, so if he doesn't resist or cooperate, this is his choice.

Li Ruoxu's arrival can even relieve him of some pressure.

Because outsiders will naturally associate Li Ruoxu's arrival with Li Ruoshui's recent choices, and he will certainly bear a lot of infamy in the short term, but he is not yet forty years old, and the future is still long, when he is fifty or sixty, how will outsiders evaluate him?

If you don't want to be the king of Yan, Li Ruoshui has already maintained the courtier's festival.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would be choked by the second brother, and his chest was stuffy and panicked.

……

Outside the sour jujube door.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong each led a thousand horsemen to the city gate. Looking at Bianliang City, where the gate was open, there was no apprehension in the eyes of the two.

It has already reached the point where it is now, and they believe that Li Ruoshui will not be unwise enough to set up an ambush in the city to earn them once.

Not to mention that as soon as this gate was opened, there were already many people inside and outside the city, but I didn't hear of an ambush.

"This battle is really ......" Han Shizhong's face was full of 'indescribable'.

Yue Fei also felt that the war in the south was becoming more and more boring, "The king went south, fixed the country, and it took ten years and eight years to succeed?" As long as the south is pacified, and the army turns to the north, that is a good opportunity for us to show our talents. ”

Now they are fighting with the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, which is like playing, but when they reach the Saiwai Grassland or the Northeast, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder can't move with the army.

In the vast prairie, or in the northeast with many mountains and dense forests, iron horses galloped, and if they wanted to completely take down the Jurchens and the nomads on the grassland, they had to rely on the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

When Han Shizhong heard this, a different demeanor immediately rippled on his face.

Northern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, that is the real place where their warriors are used.

The 2,000 horse army did not stop at the sour jujube gate at all, and went south along the avenue, passing through the old sour jujube gate, that is, the Jinglong Gate, and the iron cavalry went straight into the inner city.

Their mission was indeed to garrison the Imperial City and ensure its safety.

The guards of the Suan Zao Gate and the Jinglong Gate greeted them, but Yue Han didn't respond at all, and only took down the Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, Gongchen Gate and Xuande Gate, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhao Gou has not entered Bianliang City, because the time has not yet come, and his 'perverse behavior' has not yet aroused the majority of 'indignation', how can he enter Bianliang City.

Zhao Song's scholar group has been around for quite a few years, and he doesn't believe that before civil politics is about to be subverted, there really won't be that 'people with lofty ideals' to set things right!
