"Everyone, this silver is very important, we can't do anything without money, but this money can't be paid to the people, line three, you poor people should know a lot about harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes!"

Liu Yuetian looked at Zhang Xingsan and the others and asked.

"Lord Wang, of course we know that when I was a child, the officers and soldiers came to collect taxes, and my poor family was useless, and the officers and soldiers saw that they really had nothing to take, so they dragged my father to do hard labor for a month, and almost died of exhaustion outside."

Zhang Xingsan was a little sad when he thought of the past.

"That's right, look at those tenant farmers, poor families with four walls, a family is three or four people, and they are all young and frail, and they can only earn five or six quintals of grain a year, how can they eat? Therefore, this tax cannot be overcharged, and my collection of this percentage is only a temporary measure, and I will not even need this percentage until next year. ”

"Master, you're right, but what do we do? You can't drink the northwest wind. ”

The little stove sighed.

"Haha, don't worry."

Liu Yuetian doesn't care at all, he doesn't care about this tax now, his merit value is now nearly 20,000 merit value, it may be a little cramped to open a board, but there is no pressure to exchange grain seeds, this is a high-grade product produced by the system, six seasons a year, one plant can harvest ten catties of grain, and it is a bucket of grain, ten buckets is a load of grain, but it is just ten plants, a load of grain and ten plants only cost ten merit values, if one acre of land is planted with one hundred, there will be ten loads per mu, and this is only a harvest, six seasons a yearThis acre of land will have 600 quintals of grain in a year, and when the time comes, the income will be much more than this tax.

"Little stove, you will do it according to my orders immediately, thousands of households will be charged according to one percent, and I am also looking for an old man who is highly respected, I want to know some local conditions, and I will do it immediately."

Liu Yuetian's tone was unquestionable.

"Okay, okay, you are the prince, everything is up to you, our prince is benevolent and righteous......... Brother Liu, let's go! ”

The small stove pulled Zhang Xingsan and the others to do things according to Liu Yuetian's instructions.

The news of Liu Yuetian's exemption from taxes soon spread throughout Tianshui County, and everyone was curious, wondering what this king of Tianshui County was doing.

A slightly smaller mansion next to the Taishou Mansion, this is Liu Cong's mansion, and he is sitting in the hall at this time listening to the report of his subordinates.

"This Liu Yuetian actually exempted forty percent of the taxes at once, is he a fool?"

"Young master, I think this Liu Yuetian is buying people's hearts, we have to guard against it!"

A master next to him said.

"Buying people's hearts? Hmph, this is Tianshui County, not his Chang'an City, everything is my Liu family, and he dares to buy people's hearts, it's just wishful thinking. ”

"By the way, the young master, General Na Shile was also present at the time, and it is said that he also had some secret words with Liu Yuetian."

Master reminded.

"Shiler? He is nothing, just a slave, even if he is a general, he is a slave, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Liu Cong pursed his lips and didn't care.

"Young master, don't despise this Shile, the master said that he is gloomy and silent, but in fact, he knows it in his chest, and he can fight well, this kind of person must be more guarded, it is not a good thing for him and Liu Yuetian to get together."

"Hmph, you value him too much, and that Liu Yuetian, a milky and undried gentleman, he wants to buy people's hearts, so he has to see if he can eat, and pay a tax of 10%, he can't even eat enough for this thing......... Also, Lao Wang, don't always talk about my father, you have to remember that you are now my master, you have to remember this! ”

Liu Cong was obviously a little angry, and there was already a trace of anger in his tone.

"Yes, yes, young master, don't worry, I, Wang Yaode, am absolutely loyal to my master, and I don't dare to have any other ideas."

The other party was so frightened that he saluted again and again.

"Okay, then Liu Yuetian, you just need to keep an eye on it, our task now is to train soldiers, and when he is in chaos every day, it will be the day when our Liu family rise.........s."

A carriage was driving outside Tianshui County, Zhang Xingsan personally drove it, surrounded by more than two dozen guards, and Liu Yuetian and an elderly man were sitting in the car.

"Your Royal Highness, you are really a good person, if the officials of the Great Zhou are like you, the people of this world will be blessed."

The old man has white hair, has lived in Tianshui for decades, and has a lot of prestige in the local area.

"Old man, you have won the award, this is what I should do, by the way, how is the local customs of Tianshan? I've just come here, I need to know about it, and I would like to ask the old man to teach me a lot. ”

"Then His Royal Highness the King of the County asked me right, I don't know anything else, the matter of Tianshui is clear, even Liu Yuan is not as good as me."

The carriage drove forward, and after a few miles it came to a river, and by this time it was September, and the weather had already become cold, and it was even freezing in the middle of the night, and I felt a chill when I stood by the river.

"Your Royal Highness, this river originates from the top of the Tibetan continent, called the Zangbo River, the water is fierce like the heavenly river, during the flood season, a radius of 100 miles will turn into Heze, the Zangbo River meanders thousands of miles from the Tibetan continent and pours down, and after passing through the Funiu Mountain here, it is called the Jinsha River......... Legend has it that the river here contains golden sands, hehe, but those of us have never seen any golden sands, this is just a legend of boring people......... The grain of Tianshui County is planted along the Jinsha River, and the three towns along the river are Beidi Town, Nanfeng Town and Longchuan Town, these three towns plus Tianshui City are the real Tianshui County, and the four cities are all built on the riverside, but they are important granaries within a radius of thousands of miles! ”

The old man stood by the river and introduced to Liu Yuetian.

Liu Yuetian looked along the river, dotted with canals to lead the river water out to irrigate a large area of farmland, these are mostly rice, after the harvest is white rice, the price of white rice is the highest, and looking at it, the rice fields alone are enough to thousands of hectares, can not be counted.

It's just that it's September now, the grain harvest has long been harvested, and the vast farmland is only bare.

"Old man, there are not only thousands of hectares of fields on the side of the Jinsha River, but also all kinds of fruits and vegetables, it is really a blessed land, no wonder Tianshui County is built here, this year of abundance is probably also fruitful! But why are the inhabitants of the city still living in such misery? ”

In the past, Liu Yuetian's memory only knew that Tianshui County was located outside the plug, which was a bitter cold place, but today it is not the case, the water and grass on both sides of the Jinsha River are quite abundant, although they are not as rich as the south of the Yangtze River, but they are also worry-free, but in fact it is not the case.
