Soon after the Song State "Dai took the Song", the regime had just stabilized. So! On the surface, it is calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent, which is very uncalm.

Bai Gui's every move in the lacquer garden still attracted the attention of the Song State spies.

During Dai's capture of the Song Dynasty, in order to eradicate all opponents and calm the rumors in the world, Sicheng Zihan followed the example of Qi and used the cheetah team to do all this. So! He also has his own "Cheetah Team".

Whoever speaks ill of him behind his back must die. All "illegal" organizations, organizations that do not obey his management, must be eradicated.

Right now! Although the regime has been stabilized and successfully transitioned to his son Song Quecheng, the "Cheetah Team" organization of the Song State still exists and still plays a role.

So! Bai Gui's every move in Qiyuan Town still attracted the attention of the "Cheetah Team" of the Song Kingdom.

That night, if it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper in Qiyuan Town had a way to find out the news, Bai Gui might have died here.

To know! The person who came to Qiyuan was the leader of the "Cheetah Team" of the Song Kingdom, and now the monarch Song Quecheng is accompanying him.

This leader himself doesn't know much martial arts, but there is a diehard loyalist by his side, and his martial arts are particularly high. With these guards around Bai Gui, he can't be defeated alone. Together, they can only trap him, not kill him.

Such a powerful person, Bai Gui had to give up the opportunity to talk to Zhuangzi again, and fled in a hurry without saying goodbye.

Bai Gui never thought that there would be such a powerful martial artist in Song Kingdom. The guards he brought with him were half dead. Everyone else, all disabled. If it weren't for the fact that he also knew martial arts, if it weren't for the fact that these guards swore to protect him, he would almost not have escaped.

OK! After escaping to the Qi country, that powerful guy didn't chase after him. Otherwise? He may have hung up in the Song Kingdom.

OK! Song Guo, a powerful figure, was only aimed at him Bai Gui, not at Zhuangzi. His "conspiracy" with Zhuangzi, this guy didn't know. And also! Bai Xue and Zhuangzi's marriage, the spies did not inquire about it.

The other party is completely for him Bai Gui, and for his money.

He is a giant businessman in the world, and his wealth is rivaled in the world. Anyone with a little power wants to seize him and make him their cash cow. Or! blackmail him into taking out all his money.

"Are you sure it's against me, not Zhuangzi?" Bai Gui asked uneasily.

"Sure!" The guard replied.

This time he went to the Song Kingdom, because of the rush of time, he did not bring unicorns, one-eyed beasts and one-clawed beasts.

Maybe? If the three of them were here, maybe they wouldn't have been so badly defeated?

"Are you sure they don't know about Bai Xue and Zhuangzi's marriage?" Baekyu asked again.

The inquiring guard said affirmatively: "They just went to the lacquer garden, so! I don't know. Baiguan, you rarely go to Qiyuan Town, so the shopkeeper there doesn't have much sense of precaution. It's good now! We've killed those who can't be trusted. ”

Baekyu didn't say anything, he was listening.

For people who have no moral bottom line, kill and kill, there is no pity. Kill one, and there will be one less scourge in the world.

Knowing that Zhuangzi was safe and did not worry about Zhuangzi, Bai Gui was also relieved.

"I was embarrassed last time, and I didn't talk to Zhuangzi in detail! Alas! You pay more attention to me! Send someone over, watch him 24/7, protect him, and report to me at any time. ”

Zhuangzi was about to go to the Yuelai Inn to look for Bai Xue the next day, only to learn that the old man had escaped with Bai Xue overnight.

Today's Yuelai Inn has been seized by people from the town. The person who ordered the seizure was his own family, a high-ranking official from the royal family of the Song Kingdom.

OK! The other party just wanted to arrest Bai Gui, and he was not involved.

Opposite! When the high-ranking official of the royal family learned that he was also a descendant of the royal family, not only did he not trouble him, but he also looked up to him.

"You are Zhuangzi?"

"I am!"

"Tell me about it? Are you going to manage the lacquer garden? Benjia asked with interest.

Zhuangzi roughly said his idea of managing the lacquer garden.

For the management of the paint garden, he didn't take it seriously at all.

What is a small lacquer garden? Even if it is to give him management of the entire Song Kingdom, there is no problem. What about the whole world? So what's the matter?

If you want to rule the world, you must first cure the heart. When people's hearts are in turmoil, they cannot be governed.

The same is true for the governance of the lacquer garden, if you want to govern it well, you must first govern the hearts of the people, and you must first get rid of the seven wicked people. If the wicked do not come out to do evil, and those subordinates who take advantage of the power of the people do not come out to do evil, the contradictions among the people are not a problem.

After the people's hearts are unified, managing the lacquer garden is not a problem.

Zhuangzi knew that when Dai Benjia asked him how to manage the lacquer garden, he was asking him how to treat headaches and feet. How to improve the social security of the lacquer garden and how to improve the people's lives.

The problem of public order mainly comes from the evil deeds of the seven wicked people, and the poor people cannot live on, so they become chaotic. The root of the chaos is still because of poverty. And the reason for poverty is that the wicked do not give the poor a way to live. So! The root cause is to get rid of evil.

How to get rid of evil, Zhuangzi will not say. Opposite! When he speaks in officialdom, he also has to speak for the wicked, saying that the poor are in turmoil and the poor are not good at managing anything. And now, he doesn't talk about this, only how to manage the lacquer garden here and how to make the people rich.

How can we make the people of Qiyuan rich?

"I've already discussed with the mayor how to manage the paint garden. The mayor agrees with me, just! It's a bit tricky to do! ”

Zhuangzi pretended to look at the town chief, and nodded at the town chief, as if the two had really discussed.

"Oh?"

Dai Daguan looked very interested.

Urged: "Tell me! Let's be specific! ”

Zhuangzi smiled, nodded to the town elder again, and said, "Actually! It is not difficult to manage the lacquer garden, and it is not difficult to make the people of the lacquer garden rich. I took a look! Here in the lacquer garden, there is also a large area of land that can be developed. As long as this land is developed, it will not be a problem to be able to feed thousands of people.

For example, there is a large shallow beach in the downstream lake. If those shoals are developed, a large area of fertile land can be developed. And also! Outside the valley mouth, there is also a large area of land. As long as there are people to develop, how many people can be fed? Isn't it?

Now what's the key? How did the Song State collect taxes? How can people be encouraged to develop production? At present, the tax policy of the Song State is to collect taxes according to the land. In fact! It is necessary to combine the collection of taxes according to the land with the collection of taxes according to the capitation. Capitation tax is combined with labor and family relations.

How much tax does a laborer have to pay in a year, and how much land can a laborer farm in a year? How many people can be fed by one labor force? These factors need to be taken into account. First and foremost! Developing the population, the second! Encourage people to ...... in a variety of places"

The meaning of Zhuangzi is: with the family as a unit, you have several labor forces in this family, and according to the amount of labor force, you will determine how much tax you collect in a year. And then! How much land you plant, how much tax you pay on a piece of land. This is the basic tax. But! In order to encourage people to have more children and have more land, how many children you have in your family that need to be supported, and then deduct the cost of raising your children. Such! There will be less taxes to be paid.

Only when the people can support themselves and their children will the people be willing to have children.

Second! It is to encourage farming. Tax exemptions can be granted to those who cultivate land for five to several years. You can cultivate land without paying taxes for a few years, and as soon as this policy is introduced, people are willing to open up wasteland and farm.

In the Song State at that time, in the various princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, it was not that there was no land, but that there was wasteland but no population to cultivate.

But here in the lacquer garden, the situation is the opposite, there is less land and more people, and no one wants to go out of the canyon in it.

"That's the truth!" After hearing this, Dai Benjia felt that this method was feasible.
