The Chinese New Year is a lively day.

But this year's Chinese New Year is particularly lively.

The reason is simple, after a year of hard work, the people have money in their hands.

Even ordinary people, as long as they are willing to work, this year's waist bag is definitely thicker than last year's.

If you have money, you will naturally have to reflect it, so when you visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, the banquet is more and more abundant year by year.

Without the trouble of money, the atmosphere will naturally be more lively.

A large family gathered together, chatting lively, chatting about life and the future.

"Old grandson, can't the imperial court reduce the tax this year?" Inside the house, an old man with gray hair and beard sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the children and grandchildren, and asked with a smile on his face.

The whole family belongs to the old family of the old man is the most capable, when he went to work, he got acquainted with a scholar in a daze, and took advantage of the scholar's free time to study with others for a period of time, and happened to meet Qian Zhuang to start a student loan business, and the old grandson was also bold, and directly took the family's title deed to apply for a student loan, and went to a college.

Naturally, it can't be the four major academies, just an ordinary academy in the county.

After a few years of study, the grades have improved by leaps and bounds, and this luck is really good, but it was actually hit by the Luozhou Prefecture and entered the judicial yamen.

Don't see the gifts in the house? Basically, half of them were brought by the old grandson.

As a local official, the most well-informed is naturally the most well-informed, and the old lady often asks about some national affairs, although the old grandson has never talked about any confidential matters, most of them are some reforms within the government, and the results are something.

There are really not many things that ordinary people can pay attention to, but in addition, the old lady is most concerned about the things about the people.

Just like this matter of the imperial court's tax reduction, the old lady has to ask once a year, although the imperial court has never broken its promise.

"Taigong, this year, it will be reduced by one percent, and His Majesty has already announced it at the Zhengdan Dynasty." The eldest son Sun Ningbo responded with a smile.

The news should have been known after the year, but now that there is a train, and the imperial court has also issued a new task, it needs to be prepared during the Chinese New Year, so these officials have been notified, and each of them has their own tasks.

"Good! All right! Your Majesty is really a good emperor......" The old lady praised with a smile, and as for more compliments, he really couldn't think of them.

I don't have much culture in my own right, so how many good words do you want to say?

But this did not affect his praise for Li Yuanji, and even beside him, on the table next to the Taishi chair, there was Li Yuanji's immortal card, and the first thing he did when he got up every day was naturally to dress up and wash himself, and then he would worship Li Yuanji's immortal card, which had become the old man's daily routine.

"Taigong, this year's good things are more than this." Nimbo continued to laugh.

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't bring your set here, I think you kid is just underdrawn!" The old man Ning Wu's face glared, and he threatened Ning Bo fiercely.

Officialdom needs to pay attention to what it says, it's nothing, everyone can understand it, but at home it's still so loud, who do you show your special meow?

Don't look at you as an official, Lao Tzu still wants to beat you, even if he runs to your yamen to beat you, no one dares to come out and stop you.

"Uh......" Ning Bo was a little embarrassed.

"I think you kid is ...... to smoke," the old lady scolded Ning Wu, making a gesture to stand up and beat someone.

The atmosphere in the hall was instantly joyful, the son trained his grandson, the grandfather trained his son, well, in fact, everyone was joking, and no one would take it seriously.

After the excitement, Nimbo began to talk about what was next.

"This second thing is that at the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, His Majesty canonized the fifth son as the crown prince, which is now the eldest son."

"Well, the country can't be without a prince, I remember that the prince shouldn't be too old, right?" The old lady nodded and commented, and it was too much of an addiction.

"It's not big, I was only nine years old last year." Nimbo responded.

Tsk, he was the prince at the age of nine, this person is different from others, which is like them, they have lived for a lifetime, and the whole family has produced a talent from Ning Bo, or a talent discovered by accident.

In the end, it was the old lady who came forward and beat Ning Wu severely, and this matter can be regarded as the past.

Regarding the age of the prince, the old lady did not continue to comment, what does he have to comment on this? If Li Yuanji's five sons hadn't died, the eldest would be in his teens and almost an adult, right?

The Xuanwumen incident did bring great shock and dissatisfaction to the people of the Tang Dynasty, many people felt that Li Shimin was too cruel, even if he killed his brother, he didn't even let go of his nephew, is that something that people can do?

This is also the place where the people are most disgusted with Li Shimin, who is too brutal and cold-blooded, even if he makes achievements in the future and shows great love for the people and benevolence, he has never been able to completely open the knot in the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, Li Yuanji later came back, killed Li Shimin, and killed his son, and it was easier for the people to accept it, you are called brutal, and others are called revenge.

"Taigong, you will be seventy this year, right?" Nimbber asked.

"Well, in another month, it will be seventy." The old lady nodded, seventy is a hurdle, if he dies, it can be regarded as a happy mourning, after all, there are still a lot of people in Datang who can't live to seventy, and he has enjoyed a good life in his later years, so he has no regrets in this life.

"The crown prince played at the Zhengdan court meeting that the imperial court should treat the old man well, dividing it into three stages, more than fifty, more than sixty, and more than seventy, and then decide how to operate according to the storage situation of the regular closing positions in various places.

However, in the current situation, priority will be given to the elderly over 70 years old. His Majesty has agreed to this proposal, but the concrete plan has not yet been forthcoming, and it is said that His Majesty has ordered a concrete plan to be presented by March.

Sun Er inquired about the situation of our Chang Ping and the old man over seventy here, and studied this policy, once this policy began to be implemented, many dare not say, just say Taigong, a year, the imperial court will almost subsidize you for half a year's rations. Nimbo said the latest news.

Preliminary statistics of the elderly over 70 years old, to them a preliminary interpretation of this policy, this is one of their tasks, this is not the task of a specific department, although there will be a yamen in charge of the later period, but during the Chinese New Year, all officials must participate.

There is no need to deliberately visit and investigate, when visiting relatives, just ask, meet, talk, and record.

In the later period, the yamen would send people to understand the situation alone, and then form a detailed directory.

Although it can be found out by checking the household register, it is too troublesome, and you need to go through the household registers of hundreds of thousands of people to check it.

"Hiss......" Hearing Ning Bo's words, everyone in the room couldn't help but gasp.

Surprised, surprised, unbelievable.

"Boss, is this true?" Ning Wu was the first to react, but instead of being happy, he questioned.

It has always been the people who pay taxes to the court, when did the court give benefits to the people? Except in a disaster year?

"Of course it's true, otherwise why did you call me back to the yamen yesterday, it's just a separate matter, everyone in the yamen should learn about the old people over seventy years old in the neighborhood during the Chinese New Year, and then talk about this situation, this can be regarded as a preliminary investigation, and the yamen will send someone to visit and confirm it after the year, and then form a clear directory, and wait until the policy of the imperial court comes down in March, and begin to prepare for implementation." Nimbo explained, and of course he didn't forget the main point.

Notifying this good news is only one of them, but another news must also be notified: "However, this can not be issued every year, and it is said that the initial plan is to distribute grain stocks above 70% and stop below 60%.

In the future, this range will probably be gradually increased to more than 60, or even more than 50. However, this is not certain, and it depends on the specific situation. ”

"Then how much grain does our county have in stock?" A group of relatives and friends asked expectantly.

Although the whole family is only the old lady who can enjoy it, although no one has been short of food in the past few years, two buckets of grain a year from each of the sons are enough for the old lady to eat, and now no one cares about this bit of food.

But this is a benefit given by the imperial court, which is very unusual, although they do not lack this bit of food, but everything cannot be considered with the question of lack or not.

This shows that the imperial court is still practicing benevolent government, and it was proposed by the crown prince, what does this mean?

It means that the prince also has a high chance of continuing to implement benevolent government in the future, which is tantamount to a great joy for the people of the world.

It's all the poor people who have survived, and even if they have a little now, no one will waste it.

"There are nearly ninety percent, I heard that the average reserves of the entire Datang county level are a little more than eighty percent, according to the momentum of the past few years, as long as it does not suffer from natural and man-made disasters, this policy will basically not stop." Nimbrow replied that it wasn't a secret, but it wasn't within the scope of explanation, and if it weren't for his own home, he wouldn't say so much.

This policy is not only considered a good policy by the people, but also considered a good policy within the yamen.

Why?

Although the benefits are limited, the impact is huge, and for local governments, this policy is conducive to helping them stabilize the local situation and help them govern more smoothly.

Although it is stable now, although the governance is smooth now, who doesn't want to live a better life?

The news is not only spreading in the Ningbo family, almost half of the Tang Dynasty is spreading the news, regardless of whether there are elderly people over seventy in the family, they are all very happy, because there are still fifty or sixty years old below, maybe it will be their turn one day.

Is this considered to be eating imperial food?
