Chapter 686: First Battle of the Tarslaves (4)
After the fat tea guest finished his exclamation, he said: "This kind of land is not taxable, then brother, I have to buy a few acres of thin fields." When the time comes, all the food will be my own, beautiful people, beautiful people! As he spoke, he squinted and shook his head, looking very proud and comfortable.
The thin tea guest smiled and said, "Brother, this is indeed beautiful, let's just say one of my cousins." There are more than a dozen acres of land at home. When the Tarslavs were there, they were basically abandoned. Even if it is planted, it will be able to make a living. After all, the Tatar court demanded a lot of taxes, such as the human tax, the seed tax, the land tax, the state tax, and so on, adding up to no less than ten. You say that even if it is a good harvest, there will be not much left of this tax.
During the years when the Tatars were here, my cousin couldn't sell his land even if he wanted to, so he could only plant it, hoping that there would be other natural disasters, otherwise he would not be able to make ends meet. In the past few years, my cousin has also fallen into a lot of deficits. Life is also extremely difficult.
But fortunately, our Majesty's Tatars rushed to the north of the Tianjiang River, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he promulgated a policy of benefiting the people. Last year was another bumper harvest. This year alone, my cousin's income couldn't help but fill in the hole, and there was a surplus. He said happily, saying that this year is still a bumper harvest and a fortune. ”
After listening to the thin tea guest's eloquent conversation, the fat tea guest nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed: "This emperor of the Huahan Dynasty is really good." ”
The thin tea guest immediately said, "Brother, you call your majesty." ”
"Oh, yes, I have to address Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Hehehe. The fat tea man laughed.
"Come, let's have tea." The thin tea guest picked up the tea bowl and said to the fat tea guest.
The two took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl, and the fat tea guest continued to ask: "Brother, what are the good policies besides these?" ”
The thin tea guest smiled and said, "Brother, you're too greedy!" This alone has benefited the majority of the people. Not to mention the peasants, even the people in this city eat food cheaply. As soon as food is cheap, almost all goods on the market are cheap. In the past, one tael of silver was not enough for a month, but now two months are enough. Do you say that the policy benefits the whole people? ”
After hearing this, the fat tea guest had to agree with the thin man's words. nodded and said: "Well, what my brother said is very reasonable, I have only been running away for half a month, and I found that the price is indeed very low." Unlike the north, a tael of silver can't buy a stone of rice. But I heard that what kind of industry is going to be developed in our Huahan Dynasty? What's going on here? ”
The thin tea guest smiled and said, "Yes, His Majesty our Emperor personally summoned him. As for this industry, it is actually an upgrade of the previous workshop. Moreover, the imperial court also focused on steelmaking. He said that he could buy it to a foreign country. You can make a lot of money! And, of course, our traditional silk and porcelain. There are also oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which are also part of the industry. ”
After hearing this, the fat tea guest nodded and continued to ask: "But I don't understand, the imperial court has built so many factories......
"Huh? You wait. The thin tea man interrupted the fat tea man, and he said, "You have to make it clear, these factories are not all run by the imperial court. Most of them are run by private businessmen. ”
The fat tea guest nodded, and then said, "I mean, they are all factories, but who are they sold to?" ”
The thin tea guest laughed when he heard it, and only said with a smile: "I said brother." Of course it was sold to the common people? ”
The fat tea guest said: "But what if the people don't have money in their hands? ”
The thin tea guest said with a smile: "If there are more factories, the people will go back to work in them to make money, then they will have money, and if they have money, they can buy things." Isn't that simple? ”
The fat tea guest nodded and said, "That's really the truth!" It's a pity that our Dayang Dynasty doesn't understand! ”
The thin tea guest listened to the fat tea guest's exclamation, was stunned, and asked, "What did you say?" What do you have in the Great Yang Dynasty? ”
The fat tea guest patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I just don't have a long memory." ”
The thin tea guest glanced at the fat tea guest and said, "Brother, don't talk about leaking your mouth when you go out, be careful of being beaten." ”
The fat tea guest hurriedly nodded yes. Then he toasted the thin man tea guest with tea instead of wine, which was regarded as making amends.
Putting down the tea bowl, he asked again: "Brother, you said that if this court doesn't fight the Tartar slaves, can the common people be willing?" ”
After listening to the fat tea guest's words, the thin tea guest immediately showed a sad face, sighed and said, "Brother, your worries are not unreasonable!" We Han people hate Tatar slaves to the core. I am looking forward to the imperial court sending troops. In this way, the common people will be disappointed.
You can go to the street and listen now, there are already some complaints. But I think the people can also understand the decision of the imperial court. Our Huahan Dynasty has just been established, and it can be said that it is in ruins. This war requires silver. The court also exempted the people from taxes. I guess that the treasury of the imperial court is not sufficient now. You can't afford to fight. The only way to do this is to develop the so-called economy first.
When the economy develops, the country will be strong, and then there will be money to fight. I thought that at that time, the imperial court would still go north to attack the Tarnus. ”
The fat tea guest frowned when he heard this, and said quietly: "The reason why I don't fight is because the court has no money!" ”
The thin tea guest nodded and said, "But this is my guess." ”
The fat tea guest said: "It should be right, just like the Tartar slaves, it is also because the treasury is empty, and they dare not fight!" ”
The thin tea guest sighed and said, "It's a pity that this is a good opportunity!" ”
The fat tea guest asked, "What do you mean by brother?" ”
The thin man said, "The Tarslavs have no money now, and they are in a difficult time, isn't this a good time to attack them?" ”
The fat man nodded on his chest and said, "Well, what my brother said is very true! ”
The thin tea guest took a sip of tea and sighed again.
The fat tea guest said: "Thank you brother for your advice today, it's not too early, let's disperse!" ”
The thin tea guest immediately got up, arched his hand and said, "Then there will be a period later." ”
The fat tea guest also arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later." ”
Then the two parted in this tea house. The fat tea man returned to the inn, packed up his baggage, settled the house with the shopkeeper, rode a tall horse out of the city gate, and continued all the way north.
After two days of travel, the fat tea guest stopped at a small fishing village by the Tianjiang River. He first stayed with a farmer's family, then left the village the next day and crossed the river by rope on a hidden section of the river.
