Chapter 140 - Reporting of Field Tax (4)
Outside the Qingsui Palace, hearing Xia Wuti say this, everyone was also surprised, there were two princes and superintendent Shi Dafu to vouch for and testify for this Shanglin Yuan, doesn't this mean that [Shanglin Yuan Tian Tax of 500,000 Stones] is real?!
I knew that the identities of these people were much more valuable than a [court court], so there was no need to deceive.
This is a field tax of 500,000 stones, and even the total amount of grain produced in other places is not as much as this, which also means that the total amount of grain produced in Shanglin Yuan is actually higher?!
Right Prime Minister Ming Zifu reminded Xia Wuti and said: "Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about Lin Cang first." ”
Xia Wuti took out a silk book from his bosom, stood on the steps and recited to Emperor Wu: "Shanglincang has 500,000 stones, including 300,000 stones of rice, 100,000 stones of rice, 80,000 stones of millet and 20,000 stones of millet. ”
"On the other hand, Lin Yuan uses a new balance and balance, which is different from Wanchengcang."
As soon as Inspector Shi Dafu Xia Wuti's words came out, it caused other people to think deeply, and they dared to revise the calculations, doesn't this mean that the 100 stone grain in Shanglin Cang may actually only be 1 stone of grain in Wancheng Cang?
As soon as such a thought came up, he was slapped in the face by Xia Wuti's next words: "According to the rules and regulations of Wanchengcang, the minister has already estimated that there should be at least 550,000 stone grain, or even more!" ”
Emperor Wu's face was surprised.
The Marquis of Le Cheng also stepped forward to speak, but was stopped by the eldest son, "Uncle Hou, I know that you have worked hard to raise food for the imperial court this time, but today there are two imperial brothers and the superintendent Shi Dafu to testify, today is a day of great joy, don't ......"
Le Chenghou was unwilling to give up and said: "Eldest son, as long as the little marquis asks a few questions about Inspector Shi, he will never mean to blame. ”
Lin Yuyan showed a look of embarrassment, and then looked at Emperor Wu and asked: "Father ...... Emperor"
"Yuren, you stand down and let Le Chenghou ask." Emperor Wu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Marquis Le Cheng thanked Emperor Wu, then looked at Xia Wuxian and asked, "Is this Shanglin Cang the original Thorn Yang Cang?" How many people does Shanglin Yuan have now? How much land is governed, and how much is the tax? Xiao Hou also bothered Dr. Xia to inform. ”
Hearing this, Xia Wu replied in a timid manner: "Shanglin Cang is newly built, and now the registered population of Shanglin Yuan is nearly 5,000 households, nearly 40,000 people, more than 2 million acres of land, and taxes...... It is the new tax system of Shanglin Yuan, which is different from other places, with more tithes and less only 30 taxes. ”
"Haha......" Hearing Xia Wuti say this, Le Chenghou also laughed.
Xia Wuti was a little angry, and asked Le Chenghou rhetorically: "What is Master Hou laughing at?" ”
Le Chenghou replied: "Xiao Hou is laughing, why has the dignified Martial Inspector Shi Dafu become a man of letters!" ”
Xia Wuti, as the supervisor of Emperor Wu's cronies, was already upright, and when he saw Le Chenghou say this, he also said angrily: "If Le Chenghou doesn't give an explanation for this, he will not give up if he is cowardly and upright!" ”
Le Chenghou was also stunned by Xia Wuti's righteous breath, and then replied with a stiff neck: "If I am not mistaken, this Wancheng Cang is a Wuguo that cost tens of thousands of people, and it took seven years to complete the construction, according to what Doctor Xia said, this Shanglin Cang is newly built, so Ben Hou asked, Shanglin Yuan has only been newly built for a year, how can Shanglin Cang, which can accommodate 500,000 stone of grain, be built in such a hurry?" ”
Speaking of this, Le Chenghou also felt that he had grasped the unbelievable secret in it, and took a step forward and continued: "Moreover, the original Thorn Yang is only hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, where did the two million acres come from, even if it is two million acres, Shanglin Yuan cannot reach 40,000 people, and regardless of the old, weak, women and children, a single person has to cultivate at least fifty acres of fields, this is ...... Dr. Xia is in a high position, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the field, even if he is a strong man, fifty acres of land, even if he does not eat or drink and digs the ground, he may not be able to dig the ......"
At the end of the words, Le Chenghou looked at Xia Wuti meaningfully and said: "Regardless of it for the time being, as Doctor Xia said, Shanglincang is really the land of heaven, and the farmers who cultivate the land are all Dao immortals in the sky, right?!" ”
Hearing this, the audience immediately remembered the whispers, although there were two princes and the doctor of the supervision room to vouch for Shanglin Yuan, but after careful scrutiny, it could not withstand the examination.
If a farmer wants to cultivate fifty acres of land, I am afraid that he will be exhausted to death, besides, Shanglinyuan cannot all be strong men, at least sixty percent of them are old and weak women and children!! 〗
Everyone thought like this, even the eldest son was restrained by the gray sparrow's reminder, but he couldn't restrain it in his heart, and when Le Chenghou said this, he immediately led the public opinion outside the Qingsui Palace to the side that was beneficial to him.
Childe's confidence is also mixed, just now I really didn't think much about it, now I heard Le Chenghou say this, the matter of Shanglin Yuantian tax of 500,000 stone grain is indeed not able to withstand scrutiny.
And Xia Wuti, who has many eyes focused, is indeed under pressure, it is true that he is upright as a superintendent of Dr. Shi, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not good at words.
Everything Shang Lin Yuan saw was too novel to be expressed in words, which was also the reason why Xia Wuti was embarrassed.
"Kui is willing to explain for Dr. Xia."
When Xia Wuti was speechless, Han Kui spoke.
Xia Wuti nodded towards Ming Zifu, and then Ming Zifu, the right minister, also turned to look at Emperor Wu and asked what the latter meant.
Emperor Wu Lang smiled: "Since Han Qing wants to say it, just say it." ”
Han Kui called himself [Eastern Zhou Shizi], in which etiquette is indispensable, hearing that Emperor Wu agreed, Ji Zhou Shili, who immediately performed a set of standard rituals towards Emperor Wu, slowly stood up and walked to Xia Wuti's original position.
Then turned around, his gaze fell on Le Chenghou's body, and somehow, Le Chenghou suddenly felt Han Kui's gaze like a sword stabbing at his neck.
"Le Chenghou." Han Kui saluted again.
Le Chenghou laughed dryly, and then stretched out his hand, which could be regarded as a salute in return to Han Kui.
Han Kui put his hands in front of his abdomen, and then said: "Next, Han Kui will explain to you the many doubts of Fang Cai Chenghou. ”
When the words fell, Le Chenghou was stunned to find that the focus of Han Kui's eyes was no longer on himself, but on the many people present outside the Qingsui Palace, in the Wancheng Cang.
"Shanglin Cang, is the granary of Shanglin Yuan that can accommodate 500,000 stone grain, it is built by Shanglin Yuan using [cement] similar to [yellow mud], but the cement is stronger than yellow mud, stable, of course, it is more convenient, Shanglin Cang is just relying on hundreds of people to build for several months, this matter is not nonsense, Shanglin Yuan uses cement in more than one place, even if it is used in the village, Wancheng Dongguo was seriously damaged by the war, and cement will be used to repair it in the near future, you may wish to go to Dongguo to see if it is true or false."
