Chapter 347: Your Majesty Shengming

The spirit of the imperial court's meeting was issued very quickly, and through the official post station system of Datang, in just half a month or so, the news spread throughout Datang.

There are three kinds of news, which can be light or heavy, and it all depends on how the individual understands it.

"Governor, this is a bit unreasonable!"

Duan Lun frowned slightly, the secret path was indeed a little unreasonable, but what if it wasn't reasonable?

"Post the notice and send it to the counties so that they can spread the word about it immediately!"

"Governor ......"

"Do it!" Duan Lun didn't give the other party a chance to open his mouth to defend himself, it was useless.

How did you come to be the governor? I know it very well in my heart.

Is Li Yuanji really interested in his ability? Of course, Duan Lun does not deny that his ability is no worse than others, but can the person who can sit in the position of the governor of Luozhou be able to solve it just a matter of ability?

If it weren't for his identity as a colt, or if he was twice as capable as he is now, he wouldn't necessarily be able to sit in the position of governor.

Duan Lun still clearly remembers what Li Yuanji said to him before he took office, not asking Luozhou to keep up with Chang'an's footsteps, just not messing up.

In the Central Plains, no emperor dared to give up, dared not pay attention to it, and no dynasty could do it.

Therefore, don't look at Duan Lun's infinite scenery on the surface, but in fact, as long as the court gives an order, he has no choice at all, and the only thing he can do is to keep up with the pace of the court.

"Tax cuts, grain prices, post station ......" Duan Lun looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

After a long time, Duan Lun shook his head helplessly, he was becoming more and more unable to keep up with the emperor's footsteps, and the young man's thinking jump was not something he could accept.

The matter of grain prices and post stations is easy to say, and it is not surprising that the imperial court ordered it to be resolved, but this tax cut, why didn't you hear the slightest rumor before?

According to the regular rules, the general imperial court will make a notification at the moment, so that all localities can prepare first, and then implement it in the next year, or a buffer of one or two years, and there is a year or two to prepare, and it is unlikely that something will go wrong.

It's so abrupt, where can I fill the vacancy?

The tax reform has brought tremendous pressure to various places, and even Luozhou, the most commercially developed area in the Central Plains, is feeling a little struggling, and now it has reduced taxes, what should we do in the next few days?

……

Some people are happy and some are worried, in the city of Luozhou, after receiving the order of the imperial court, the latest notice was posted after just one hour.

Although it caused a lot of turmoil in Luozhou City, it can only be said that this turmoil is not big.

Because there are not many people in Luozhou City who are still farming, it's not that there are none, but the proportion is not much.

Most of them just rent the land to their relatives, collect only some rent every year, or simply sell it and use the money to start some business.

The tax cut is inconsequential to them.

Of course, if it doesn't matter, it's.

As long as you get the land in the hands of the government, no matter how much, whether you sell it or rent it out, the tax must be borne by you, and only those below the middle age and women do not need to pay the tax.

Reducing one percent, the proportion is not much, but in line with the mentality that a little can be saved, many people still shout for this policy of the imperial court.

East of Luozhou, more than 50 miles.

Liu Laohan stood in the field with a hoe on his shoulder, looking at the endless green wheat seedlings, and his mood was so refreshing.

There were a few snowfalls last year, small in scale, but not small, and now the snow has melted and the earth is starting to recover.

Carrying a hoe and digging twice on the ground, there is a lot of water in the ground, seeing this, Liu Laohan's face showed an irrepressible smile, and it can even be predicted that this year is another bumper year.

Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this sentence has now been widely spread among the people, although the winter is cold, but for the people, it is a great joy.

This means that they only need to irrigate the field once a month before harvesting, and if they don't have the conditions, they just need to keep the land dry and have a little moisture.

As a result, the yield of the field will naturally skyrocket.

Although it has not yet reached the level of 1,000 catties per mu in later generations, it is still possible to produce 145 catties per mu in the case of winter wheat.

For an old farmer who can only produce 112 catties per mu in a good year, what does it mean to increase the yield per mu by 120 catties?

People who have never been to the ground will definitely not understand this truth, let alone appreciate the fun and hardship here.

Liu Laohan has no ability, and there is nothing special about it, like other ordinary people, after every harvest, he has to mobilize the whole family to be busy in the fields for a few days.

It is not a rush to plow, but a sweep to see if there is any grain left out of the field at the time of harvest, this is an era when not even a grain of grain can be wasted.

It's not that I don't have food, but I'm scared.

"His second uncle, standing on the ground again, is he stupid?"

Liu Laohan didn't look back and knew who was yelling, and he didn't feel unhappy in his heart, so he turned his head and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't think that you don't dare to beat you if you are the old man, this is also Lao Tzu is old, the old arms and legs are about to move, if this was placed ten years ago, you would have run around the village if you didn't fight." ”

Liu Ju smiled, the villagers, look up and don't look down, more or less sticky to some relatives, of course, ethical people must abide by it, but occasionally make some innocuous jokes, no one will care.

Liu Ju didn't just rely on this hand, he mixed very well in the village, although this person's mouth was a little unclean, but if there was a contradiction or something, Liu Ju said in the past, everyone was willing to sell him this face, so the position of Li Zheng was naturally Liu Ju.

"Second uncle, come on, I'll stand here today, let you beat and scold, and never run or fight back." Where did Liu Ju stop, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, you kid kicked your nose in the face, didn't you?" When Liu Laohan heard this, he instantly lost his temper, this kid hurriedly called the second uncle and the second uncle amiable in the past, and he was not good at losing his temper, what's wrong with this today?

Liu Laohan didn't know, anyway, he still pretended to raise his hoe and walked towards Liu Ju, pretending to give him a beat.

"Second uncle, I have to tell you something before I start, if you beat me today, it is estimated that you will not be able to return home in ten days and half a month." Seeing Liu Laohan coming, Liu Ju was not worried, but said with a hippie smile.

"Pretending, Lao Tzu is your second uncle, an elder, if you are beaten, you will be beaten, and if you are scolded, even if you are Lizheng, the government can't control it, besides, Lao Tzu's own home, why can't you go back?"

"Okay, second uncle, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, hurry up and go home, there is a good thing." Seeing that it was almost over, Liu Ju didn't want to waste any more time, after all, this was a good thing for everyone, and he wanted to convey it as soon as possible.

"What's the good thing?" Liu Laohan said curiously.

"Don't dare to say it, I'm afraid you'll be too surprised to hear it......"

"You kid stop for Lao Tzu......"

Scolding and scolding, Liu Laohan still followed Liu Ju back to the village, and kept probing on the way, but Liu Ju's mouth was very strict, and he didn't say a word.

On the way, I met a few villagers who came to the field to look at the crops like Liu Laohan, and the two also greeted them back to the village.

As a result, after returning to the village, Liu Ju still did not tell them, but asked the big guy to help notify people to go to the grain field door to door, saying that it was going to be announced unified.

The village is not big, there are only about 100 households, a few people walk separately, do not enter the house, directly on the road shouting loudly, after a trip, the village old and young, men and women almost all go out to the side of the grain field.

A village of about 100 households and 760 people is neither big nor small, but fortunately, the grain field is not small, and it can still accommodate so many people.

Seeing that everyone was together, Liu Ju climbed to the heights, and it took a lot of effort to make the discussion below quieter, that is, some little children who didn't listen to the call were still frolicking over there, but Liu Ju didn't have the heart to care about them.

"Just now, the township called the Lizheng of each village, and the main thing is to say three things." Liu Ju stretched out three fingers and said with a smile.

"Can you say no to something? On a cold day, the person ...... freezes to death" Seeing that Liu Ju was about to put on a posture of a long talk, some people below immediately complained.

They are all ordinary people who don't know a single word, and you can't understand so many big truths, it's a waste of time.

"Forehead......" Liu Ju was embarrassed, but he continued: "Let's talk about the third thing first, the imperial court has issued an order, a post station is built every twenty miles near the road, and the imperial court is equipped with horses, but the forage required by the horses or something, each township has to be responsible for it, this is not much, our township has divided three horses, each family takes out a few taels of beans every year, and just cut some grass." ”

"What do you want so many stations for?" As soon as the words fell, some people immediately questioned dissatisfiedly, the post station belongs to the imperial court, why let me produce forage? Although there are not many taels per household, a few taels are also food, and if you save a little, it will be enough for a family to eat.

"Liu Laosan, look at your cowardice, this is an order issued by the imperial court, do you understand the order? You can't always think of all good things in your arms, and you don't want to do anything you want to do, how can there be so many good things in the world? Liu Ju yelled at Liu Laosan, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he was afraid that the people below would point at him and scold, so he hurriedly continued:

"Let's talk about the second thing, but there is no need for it at the moment, the imperial court has promulgated a grain protection price ......"

There are all kinds of food, but this is only the minimum price of protection, and the price of all food at the moment is above this protection price, so it is useless at the moment, and the people do not have much reaction.

"The last one, the imperial court has ordered, starting this year, the tax will drop by one percent......"

"Really?"

Liu Ju's last sentence instantly caused a commotion, and the drop of one percent is also a decline, and now every Ding man has to take two stones of millet or wheat every year, two zhang of silk and silk, and one-fifth of a foot of cloth, and three taels of cotton and three catties of hemp for those who pay silk.

For ordinary people, reducing it by one percent is actually a big reduction in expenditure.

When were the happiest people in ancient times? You are happiest when you lower your class assignments.

"Your Majesty Shengming ......" Under the leadership of the old man in the village, many people gave up their hands in the direction of Chang'an.
