Chapter 25 White Deer Coins

The tax was collected very early in the first year of Motoka, and although it did not increase, it was very urgent.

The summer grain was still in the field, and the tax collectors had begun to knock on the door.

After the Yun clan paid the tax, the money and grain of the Yong'an Hou fief and the money were not distributed at the same time.

The tax collectors scattered all over the intersections were so vicious that people could not be happy, so in the middle of the night the wandering merchants carrying their burdens would venture through the fields of the Yun clan in a vain attempt to avoid the terrible tax collectors.

Relying on a tiger to see a home is very unreliable.

No one was afraid of the king for a long time, even if the traveling merchant who was thrown down by the king would only take out a piece of dried meat from his body and try to bribe the king, but no one worried about his life.

In the early morning, when Yun Lang stepped on the dew to see the king, he would often find that there was a lot of food piled up in front of the shack where he slept, and the king was sleeping heavily, and there was an extra path in the Yun family's field that stretched into the distance.

Of course, Yun Lang would not blame the king, and sent the king out to see the house because the Yun clan received an order from the government that the Yun clan must put an end to the behavior of traveling merchants evading taxes from the Yun clan's fields.

Therefore, the Yun clan sent a tiger king, and the tax collectors were very satisfied, with such a giant tiger with colorful fur, those wandering merchants should be embarrassed when they heard the roar of the tiger.

Wild boars, which often go down the mountain to destroy their crops, do not dare to go down, and even the eagles hovering overhead flutter their wings after hearing the roar of the king.

The commercial tax during the period of Emperor Wen was fifty taxes and one, the time of Emperor Jing was fifteen taxes and one tax, and the commercial tax implemented by Liu Che this year was five taxes and one tax!

It is not easy for the merchants of the Han Kingdom to survive, most of the goods are primary products, so the profits are not high, and the traveling merchants are even more so, a person, a burden is all the net worth, go to the countryside, a day's income, but just barely make a living.

Under the five taxes and one tax, the traveling merchants screamed for days and fled from Chang'an.

In such a situation, sending a tiger to watch the house is undoubtedly the best way.

Yun's car and ship workshop has been closed, and the spring silkworms have only carried out silk reeling operations, and the remaining silk weaving and dyeing processes have been completely stopped.

The huge Yun family, only papermaking, printing two workshops are still dying.

In view of this, the Yun family can only vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry this year, and these two have not heard of any news of tax increases.

In the spring, Liu Che hunted a white deer on the Leyou Plain, this white deer is extremely precious, after Liu Che ate the venison, he appreciated the beautiful white deer skin, and then cut off a piece of fur on the neck of the white deer with a knife and gave it to Gongsun Hong, the name is - White Deer Coins!

Gongsun Hong naturally knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and immediately took out a million dollars and dedicated it to the emperor, and then took away the white deer skin.

Three days later, coinciding with the empress's birthday, Gongsun Hong presented the white deer skin to the emperor as the most precious gift.

As a result, this white deer skin was rewarded by the emperor to Dasi Nong'er Kuan...... Similarly, this piece of white deer skin was in Cao Xiang's hands after a few turns......

When Cao Xiang bought this white deer coin with millions of dollars, there were inexplicably more white deer coins on the market.

For example, the Yun clan received four White Deer Coins yesterday!

Yun Lang leaned on the tiger, boringly checked the tiger's gains overnight, except for a few poor pieces of dried meat, the rest were black and yellow millet buns.

The weather is hot, the tiger's belly rises and falls violently, licking two mouthfuls of ice water, and not looking at the food in front of him.

From time to time, he arched his head twice, signaling that while the sun was not poisonous, he would hurry home, he wanted to find a cool place to sleep well.

"Brother, I don't want to go home, and the thought of the four white deerskins at home makes my heart panic.

Ordinary people are shameless, we still have a way, if the emperor is shameless, then there is really no way......"

The tiger lowered his head and whined twice, then rested his head on the damp ground again, not even interested in drinking the honey that Yunlang had put on his mouth.

Dongfang Shuo is wearing a very high hat now, and Shanglin Yuan is already an official of eight hundred stones, and he attaches great importance to this identity.

Even in the scorching summer, he still wore his official uniform meticulously, and a black ribbon firmly bound his high hat to the top of his head, and the law was strict!

"Why is Yunhou so frustrated?"

Yun Lang glanced at Dongfang Shuo and pointed to the hat on his head and said, "The official family is shameless, which makes me very worried." ”

Dongfang Shuo said "oh", then found a pile of clean hay mats and sat down under his buttocks.

"Four million is not much for the Yun family."

"It's not a lot of money, but it's disgusting!"

Dongfang Shuo sighed and said: "Your Majesty really has no money, so he began to bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

Yun Lang said: "I only ask for the White Deer Coin to be limited to the princes and nobles of the county. Don't go down.

Once you go to the bottom, the White Tiger Coin and the Wild Boar Coin will appear, and even now, I am afraid that the rest of the messy currencies in the county have already begun to appear.

As long as the emperor has a million dollars, he will ask for 10 million when he arrives in the county, and he will ask for 10 million when he arrives in the county...... Hehe. ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at the wheat in the field and said: "Shanglinyuan will produce not a single grain this year, and the farmers in Tuntian can only leave the autumn grain." ”

Yun Lang was stunned, and said after a while: "Why is this?" ”

"Seventeen palaces in Shanglin Yuan need to be renovated, do you remember the Grape Palace?"

"Remember, I lived in it."

"It has been changed to Xianglin Palace, Gongsun Ao has planted lychees in Fuli Palace for two years, and has not produced a single lychee, so Fuli Palace is also going to be changed, called Baiguo Garden, a total of seventeen palaces, basically demolished and rebuilt."

"Isn't he out of money?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said: "I don't know, he didn't move the forest garden when he was rich before, but now he has no money, and I don't know why he wants to build a palace instead." ”

Yun Lang thought for a moment and said, "The more money you have, the more you have to pretend to be rich...... Your Majesty's mind is really different from ordinary people.

Aren't you going to write a book to advise? ”

Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "You are all at ease, why do you want me to be a petty official of 800 stones?"

I already lost half my life last time, and this time I'm coming? ”

Yun Lang was stunned for a moment, patted the tiger's belly and was about to go home, so he listened to Dongfang Shuo say: "Take care of your brother-in-law, it's only been three days since he went on a mission, and he has made a big deal of official authority, and he beat three officials in a row, and when I came, I was looking for the stubble of the fourth official, and it is estimated that in less than a month, the twenty-three officials under his command will be beaten again." ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "I don't care about this matter, I gave him the official position of five hundred stones, as for how to be an official, I don't care." ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at Yun Lang and said with a smile: "Xuanji City hasn't been completely taken yet?" ”

Yun Lang sighed and said, "Chen Kun has been on hunger strike for three days. ”

Dongfang Shuo waved his hand goodbye to Yun Lang, he had no intention of comforting Yun Lang, but a sentence came from afar-internal difficulties and external worries......

When Yun Lang took the tiger home, he found that Chen Kun, who was originally sitting in the courtyard, had moved to the pavilion.

He looked up at the blazing sun, and felt that Chen Kun's choice was good, on a hot day like today, he would basically die if he basked in the sun for a day.

Yun Lang came to Chen Kun, put a cup of tea in front of him and said, "Drink more water to avoid heat stroke." ”

Chen Kun looked at Yun Lang and shook his head, and continued to hang his head and pretend to sleep.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, you must not have slept well, it is better to take advantage of this effort to go to sleep, and wake up to have a deep hunger strike."

Chen Kun was not amused by Yun Lang's joke, and looked at Yun Lang and said weakly: "Can't Yun Hou let me go?" ”

"Isn't it good for a family to be together?"

Chen Kun shook his head and said, "I am ashamed of the ancestors of Xuanji City......

"I'm sorry that the person in Xuanji City is your master, that is, my lord, not you Chen Kun, I have heard a lot of legends about your maintenance of Xuanji City these days, and you have paid so much effort, and you are supported by your brothers and sisters, if you leave, who can live a good life with peace of mind? If you look around, you are suffering from yourself, and your brothers and sisters have not eaten a grain of rice.

Those adults can resist, but what about the children? I have already suffered a lot, and if I don't eat, I will get sick. ”

Chen Kun laughed miserably and said, "Yunhou, tell me, is Xuanji City really only worth three thousand gold?" ”

Yun Lang beckoned, Huo Guang ran out of the room next to him, Yun Lang pointed at Huo Guang and said to Chen Kun: "You ask Huo Guang and let him set a price for Xuanji City!" ”

Huo Guang thought for a moment and saw Chen Kun looking at him seriously, so he replied equally seriously: "If it is sold to the Yun family, it is difficult to find ten thousand gold, if it is sold to others, one hundred gold is enough, if it is a sign by His Majesty...... Worthless! ”
