Section 259: The Son of Heaven Is Coming (2)
As soon as the Son of Heaven drove into the territory of Xinfeng, on both sides of the road, there were cheers that shook the heavens and the earth.
"Hooray!"
Countless people, on both sides of the road, saluted and saluted the Son of Heaven.
On the hills and in the fields, there are dense crowds of people everywhere.
Many scholars were strong, neatly dressed, and took the whole family with them on both sides of the road, bowing their heads, and being extremely obedient.
The Son of Heaven quietly lifted the curtain, looked at the crowd on both sides of the road, and then looked at the wet road on the road, with a smug smile on his face.
"The subjects of Xinfeng still have me in their hearts......" His Majesty smiled slightly in his heart, very proud.
The emperor is like that.
Sometimes his heart is thinner than a needle, and if he feels dissatisfied a little bit, he will think that you scum think that I am old and can't do it anymore, so I don't care about it.
Especially the old emperor, he especially liked to be more serious in these places.
Like Han Taizong, even if he died, he was thinking about the peasants, thinking about the emperor who would not cause trouble to the people of the world, and there were only three or five people in the history of the feudal dynasty for two thousand years.
Today, although he also has the world and the people in his heart.
But the ranking is a little bit lower.
For him, he is the first person.
Everything else has to be postponed.
Therefore, it is really cool to be cool yourself, and you and the rest of you are going to die!
At this moment, seeing the expressions of the people of Xinfeng and the situation on the road, of course I was very satisfied in my heart.
If you are satisfied, you will be rewarded!
The eldest grandson was said to have been exempted from Xinfeng's field tax for three years some time ago?
Then I can't be stingy than the eldest grandson!
After a moment of deep silence, His Majesty ordered, saying: "I patrol Xinfeng, my father and the elder Jiazhi, Shiyun: benefit this China, and Sui Quartet!" In addition to Xinfeng's oral endowment this year, there is no such thing as this year's endowment, and the money in the treasury of Shaofu is ordered to replace it! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a messenger holding the festival, galloping out on horseback, and loudly announcing the father and the people: "Your Majesty is greatly beneficial to the people of Xinfeng's father, except for this year's oral endowment, there is no calculation of endowment, and the money in the treasury of the Shaofu is ordered to replace it!" ”
The messenger shouted loudly as he ran.
It wasn't until he shouted hoarse that he was replaced.
When all the people heard this, they were overjoyed, and they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!" Hail to Your Majesty! Your Majesty's longevity knows no bounds! ”
The boy who scatters wealth is really worthy of his name!
First, the eldest grandson was exempted from field tax for three years, and now that the Son of Heaven is here, even this year's oral endowment and arithmetic endowment are also exempted!
In this way, the only thing that the people of Xinfeng need to bear is the manuscript tax.
This is just the reward of His Majesty to Xinfeng, as long as he is comfortable to serve, there will definitely be a reward when the holy car is transferred to Chang'an.
At that time, I'm afraid it will be real money!
Thinking about it this way, almost all of them are grateful.
This is the golden bullet offensive that the old Liu family has tried and tested repeatedly.
If you take money to smash it, you can always smash out loyal ministers and filial sons.
As for where the money comes from? Maybe Wenjing still has to think about it, and he doesn't care about it today.
For him, the issue of money is an issue that only Dasi Nong and Shao Fuqing need to consider.
He doesn't care!
Anyway, he was used to it, and reached out to Dasi Nong and Shao Fuqing to ask for money.
For decades, Shao Fuqing and Da Sinong have never let him down.
Don't have money?
Yang Ke launched a lawsuit.
Don't have money?
Sang Hongyang made an average loss level.
Don't have money?
Zhang Tang played with white deer skin coins.
Anyway, the world is so big, there is always a way to get money, right?
So he never worries about money.
Think back then, Feng Chan Taishan, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent, are you still afraid of Xinfeng's small money?
……………………………………
Outside Xinfeng City, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin, wearing court clothes and taking officials and sergeants, stood at the intersection of ten miles outside Xinfeng City.
In the distance, the deafening sound of long live came and went.
A messenger came to report: "Your Highness, in the middle of the service, Your Majesty has just issued an edict to exempt Xinfeng from the mouth and calculation of the endowment at this age...... Ordered the young secretary to send money out of the treasury to help him......"
When he heard the first half of this, Zhang Yue's cheeks twitched a little.
The oral endowment is the horse money and poll tax paid by children, and the calculation is the poll tax of the adult population.
The former is twenty-three cents, and the latter is one hundred and twenty cents.
Together, these two constitute the main source of finance and taxation for the Han local government - as for the industrial and commercial tax and the money?
That is the income directly escorted to Dasi Nong, and the local government can intercept 30%, which is already Dasi Nong to give face.
As we all know, the power of local governments and the amount of things they can do are directly linked to local revenues.
There is no money, let alone a feudal dynasty.
It's the Omi of later generations, are there still few local institutions that have no money to go bankrupt and shut down?
Even Midi has been shut down several times!
Fortunately, this Son of Heaven still knows the difficulties of the place, so he added a sentence and took money from Shaofu to offset this part of the income.
This made Zhang Yue's face look a little better.
But it's still very uncomfortable in my heart.
The Son of Heaven is exempt from the calculation and oral endowment? This is a good thing.
The people at the bottom can take some breath, at least this year can have a good year.
But......
The problem is, in fact, this year's arithmetic and oral endowments have already been received.
Zhang Yue's predecessors even accepted next year's arithmetic and oral endowments......
It is not surprising that in the Kanto region, some prefectures even paid taxes thirty years later......
There is no way, the local finances are in difficulty, and the old men have to eat, drink, and have fun raising concubines.
I have to do some face-saving projects to fool my superiors.
If you don't do this, where can you find money?
Therefore, when the Son of Heaven gave such an order, Zhang Yue had to help him come over.
How round?
Of course, the money was refunded!
As when collecting and calculating taxes and oral contributions, the money will be refunded according to the number of people from door to door.
"But this may still be a good thing...... Zhang Yue thought to himself: "I can take this opportunity to conduct a census!" ”
Before taking office, Zhang Yue was ready to take the opportunity of this year's tax collection to conduct a census and land clearance.
As a result, after taking office, he found that the land clearance may be done.
But this census is not in a good place.
His predecessors helped him get his taxes until next year, and they spent the money very kindly.
He didn't have this excuse - after all, those scum can be shameless, he wants it!
When I took office, I already said it - punishment without teaching is abuse!
The law and the system will be carried out.
It won't be all over the place.
In other words, the inventory of the population has to find another way.
Now, when His Majesty plays like this, he can be regarded as solving his troubles.
It's nothing more than spending some money, and Shaofuqing still pays for this money.
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Yue's heart became steady.
And on the galloping road in the distance, the royal car of the Son of Heaven is getting closer and closer.
A black dragon banner with teeth and claws appeared from the horizon, followed by hundreds of cavalry surrounded by the Son of Heaven.
When Zhang Yue saw it, he hurriedly worked with Liu Jin to tidy up his clothes, and then led the officials to meet him.
