Only then did the surrounding refugees know why Master Tu was mad, and some of them couldn't help but say loudly: "If our family is also well-populated and we go back, who wants to leave their homeland?" ”

Tu Gongchun sneered: "What about when I'm a fool? Is ten catties of yellow rice more divided by three people, or more divided by five people? In the same way, is it better to have a smaller population, or is it better to have a larger population? ”

He thought they would be full of shame, but the faces of the refugees were slightly surprised, incredulous, crying and laughing, and all kinds of expressions, but there was no trace of shame. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tu Gongchun was annoyed in his heart and said, "I don't know how to be ashamed. His face turned red and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Fang Zhongshu on the side say: "Virtuous brother is slow, the villagers seem to have something to hide, why don't you listen to them first?" ”

Tu Gongchun snorted coldly and didn't look over, he agreed to Brother Fang Nian's proposal. Fang Zhongshu walked up to the refugee who had just spoken, and asked gently, "This brother, why can't there be fewer people to go back, but more people can go back?" ”

The refugee hurriedly said to Fang Zhongshu: "Back to this old man's words, in our countryside, work depends on strong labor, and there are fewer men in the family, and there will be less harvest. However, the tax per mu paid by each household was determined in the early years, and it will not change no matter what, and it will not be reduced or reduced because there are fewer men in anyone's family. What's more, there are miscellaneous taxes for this and that, which were almost impossible to pay when the people were healthy, but now that we have reduced our production, we will definitely not be able to pay them. ”

Those on the side who didn't nod their heads also helped: "Yes, Master Fang, it is those of us who have a healthy population, and one person pays one person." After paying the taxes, there is not even enough food left to survive the spring famine, let alone them. ”

The scholars couldn't help but look at each other, although they were not high-born, but they were all the children of squires and landlords, but none of them were from poor families, and they didn't have to worry about their livelihoods.

Fang Zhongshu is still older, and he has read a lot of books, and after pondering for a while, he asked softly: "My Daqin follows the Tang system, and has not made any innovations in taxes, it is still the 'two taxes system', first according to Ding Zhuang and the number of land, etc., and then according to the area of reclamation and the level of households, although it is not absolutely fair, but it is much stronger than the 'rent adjustment' when taxes were collected according to capitation, so it will not make you so embarrassed, right?" His tone had weakened, and he seemed to know that what was said in the book was quite different from reality.

The refugee who spoke first sighed and said, "I don't understand what Master Fang said, but he must be right, but I know that we can't go on." For example, my family, 20 years ago, it was approved as a nine-family Ding, 200 acres of land, which is considered a medium-sized household, and it has been paying taxes according to this grade. But now, there are less than 40 acres of land left in our family, and after this disaster, there are only two men left in the family, me and my third brother, even if we don't eat, drink or sleep, it is impossible to hand over the nine Ding, 200 acres! ”

Tu Gongchun finally couldn't help but say: "Duh, I have an ownerless wasteland in Daqin, and I can't finish ploughing. How did you reduce your land from two hundred acres to forty acres? ”

The refugees said blankly: "Can't finish ploughing? Is this a good thing? Or the old man who poured water for Tu Gongchun said: "Master Tu said that it is mostly wasteland, so there must be one, but we didn't see it, and we can't open the wasteland there." ”

Tu Gongchun asked in a sullen voice: "Even if it can't be opened, it shouldn't be reduced, could it be that your ground has long feet, and you can run?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "The land does not grow feet, when I was young, my family was indeed two hundred acres of land, but since Zhao Wuye sat in the Golden Palace, Prime Minister Wen Cheng was in charge of the world, and the donation and salary added to our heads have gone to the sea." Our common people rely on the sky for food, and when we catch up with the disaster year, we can't pay the guarantee, so we can only borrow from the big squire. But the big squire is not a bodhisattva, and when the time comes, we can't afford to pay the arrears, so we have to pay off with the land at home. ”

Tu Gongchun already understood a little in his heart, and asked weakly: "If the land is given to them, you don't have to pay taxes, right?" ”

The people around shook their heads, and replied with a clever tongue: "Tu Ye doesn't know, the landlords want our land, but they don't want our taxes, this is called 'property is not transferred to taxes', that is, the land is gone, but the taxes must be paid correctly." ”

Tu Gongchun understood this, but the confusion in his heart did not decrease at all, and he asked with a strange face: "Won't you go to the government to re-report the number of people in your family and the number of acres of land?" ”

"Someone asked many years ago, but the eldest lord said that this is a tax levied by the imperial court, and only the imperial court can re-determine it, and they can only collect it according to the standard locally. But in the past, the tax was determined once every five years, but when it came to our Zhaowu Dynasty, it was not determined once at all......"

The scholars gradually figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of their preconceived ideas, Tu Gongchun blushed and said to the surrounding groups: "Tu was abrupt, and he opened his mouth without understanding the situation, please forgive me." The refugees hurriedly returned the salute: "Tu Ye tortured us, how much favor you have for us, you said that you said that we were beaten, and we would never hold a grudge." ”

Seeing that the refugees were so open-minded, Tu Gongchun was excited in his heart, and said loudly: "You just have to stay like this for now, and when we understand this matter thoroughly, we will definitely help you find an explanation." The other scholars also nodded and said: "We have a reputation for raising a son, although we have no grade, but we have the right to go to the bus to listen to the book." When we go back, we will sum it up, and I can't say that we will also learn from the students of the previous dynasty and ask for the people's lives once. ”

A group of refugees knelt down in unison, bowing their heads in thanks, and the scene was extremely touching.

The days flowed into the distance like a stream, day by day, and the tragedy at the gate of the tax department gradually faded out of the conversation of the people in the capital, and even the matter of the scholars helping the refugees was rarely mentioned. This is not to say that the people no longer like gossip, but because they have a new topic - the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Three Halls of Kyoto Prefecture will try the Five Highnesses.

Whether in the fields or after tea and dinner, the people kept talking about this lawsuit that had dragged on for a long time and would finally be interrogated soon. Regarding the Five Highnesses, who were portrayed as 'murderers' by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the common people of Kyoto have different opinions.

Through the storytelling and opera in the tavern teahouse, the people of Kyoto have long been familiar with this highness. In the legend, this young and handsome prince is not afraid of power, resourceful, protects the weak, and asks for the people's lives, and is the favorite young hero in the hearts of the people. In addition, a few days ago, he first rescued refugees outside Kyoto, and then started countless porridge tents in the city, giving porridge and clothes, which made the people feel good, and even regarded him as a Bodhisattva-like figure.

At this time, I heard that his old man was going to be tried in the court, and the people flocked to the lobby of the Zhongdu Mansion, in addition to watching the excitement, they also saved a little bit of his old man's intention to support the field.

There are also many ignorant girls, who heard that His Royal Highness is young and handsome, and they have long regarded him as Song Yu Pan'an in their hearts. But because of the huge disparity in identities and the fact that it is always difficult to meet, this time I finally have the opportunity to see real people, how can I not let them be crazy? They walked out of their small courtyards and gathered on Tongsuo Street, looking forward to seeing Tan Lang in their hearts.

Even some of the ladies who were raised in the boudoir secretly walked out and hid in the incense car, looking out with shame and anticipation, and hoping to quietly break into the princess of the boudoir several times.

However, there are also people who come out for trysts under this excuse, such as the pair of windows on the second floor of the quadrangle......

A little fat man in a leather jacket and a handsome young man in a lake blue robe sat opposite each other, although they could see the bustling entrance of the Kyoto Prefecture opposite when they tilted their heads, but neither of them looked out...... The little fat man just lowered his head, but the pretty posterior stared coldly at his fat face, and his dark and bright eyes didn't turn a little.

Seeing that the little fat man just didn't look up, Qiao Housheng was annoyed and said: "You just broke your neck, and you can't see your toes." ”

The little fat man's mouth twitched, and he raised his head aggrievedly, but he still didn't dare to look at the eyes of the young man, and his thick lips snorted a few times: "Yue'er, don't be like this, I can't go and ask my father to set a date......"

"When?"

The little fat man snorted for a long time, and then begged pitifully: "Wait a few days, your father and my father will ease up a little, and I will go and talk ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the pretty young man raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and slapped the table fiercely, and slammed the second half of the little fat man's words into his abdomen. It also attracted the surrounding guests to look sideways and point.

Who thought that the little fat man who was cowering suddenly went crazy, Huo De got up and pointed to the diners around him and scolded: "Eat with peace of mind, who dares to peek again, Lao Tzu dug down his tricks and drank wine!" ”

The diner was startled by the little fat man who suddenly changed his face, and he was about to get up and fight him, but he was held by his companion on the side, and whispered to dissuade him: "The four evils of the son...... The grumpy temper suddenly came to naught, and he sat down obediently and said: "Drink and drink, this is a sunny day, what else can you do besides drinking......

These two people are the pair of laughing little enemies of Li Sihai and Bo Xianyue, because of the break between Bo Xian and Li Hun, the relationship between the two families has also fallen to the freezing point. Bo Xian Saiyue is a fierce girl, how can she stand this humiliation, since listening to Mrs. Li's strange words that are not salty or light, she has not seen Li Sihai for half a year.

Li Sihai is a cheap bone again, and the more Bo Xianyue doesn't see him, the more he is so lovesick that he loses his soul. In half a year, he tried every possible way to see Yiren, but after all, he was sincere and open, and he made an appointment in the name of 'going to cheer for your uncle'.

It's just that the ecstasy of meeting didn't last long, and it was doused by the girl with a basin of cold water, "Let's break the marriage contract!" "The sound of a silver bell is pleasant, and there is not a trace of mud and water. Immediately knocked Li Sihai's fat head low......

Hearing Li Sihai's of "calm down and talk about it", Bo Xian Saiyue finally got up and said angrily: "If the relationship between our two families is like this forever, do you want me to wait for a lifetime?" Tell you Li Sihai, crying and shouting waiting for this girl to ask for it, you can go from this row to Nanyang Gate! ”

Li Sihai was stunned by her for a moment, and said, "So many......"

Bo Xiang Saiyue's face turned red, and she pouted: "It's just so many ......"

Seeing her cute appearance, Li Sihai suddenly relieved his heart, and said with a smile: "Yue'er scared me, you blushed as soon as you said nonsense, I know it." ”

Bo Xianyue didn't eat his set, and said with apricot eyes: "If you don't come up with a charter for me today, I'll let me ...... tomorrow Uncle went to your house to dissolve the marriage. "All the men in the Bo Xiang family are in the army, and only one woman and child are left in the capital, so Marshal Bo Xian insisted on swearing to Qin Lei, in order to have a support for his daughter at a critical moment.

It's just that the matter of worshipping is not publicized, because Li Sihai didn't know about it, and he was stunned when he heard it: "Your uncle ......"

Bo Xian Saiyue glanced out of his eyes and whispered, "King Longwei and my father are sworn brothers. "At this time, it is not a child's play, once the ceremony is completed, it is no different from his biological brother, although it is awkward to admire Saiyue, he also behaves and calls Qin Lei uncle.

"Oh, my big brother." Li Sihai suddenly realized, but when he saw Saiyue on the other side with an expression of wanting to eat people, he remembered that he was taking advantage of Saiyue, so he couldn't help but shudder, and immediately changed his words: "Our uncle......

Bo Xianyue Xingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was threatening: "If you leave your mouth again in the future, you don't want to see a good face again." ”

Li Sihai heard the feelings implied in the words of 'Xiao Yue'er', and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded busily: "Since my eldest brother is your uncle, it is my uncle, and I can't call my eldest brother uncle in the future." This kid just thought about Pomeranian and smiled, but he didn't want to do this, Qin Lei would be the same generation as his old man. The pitiful Taiwei Li was demoted by his own son for two generations, and he was reduced to the point of being the same generation as his grandson's brother.

But Li Sihai didn't care about this, he was worried about Xiao Yue'er's decision. Li Sihai knows what kind of temper his fiancΓ©e is, and he does what he says and never talks nonsense. Since she said that she wanted Qin Lei to withdraw from the marriage, she would definitely withdraw from the marriage, and if things got to that point, no matter how he remedied it, this marriage would come to an end.

Just when he was worried and at a loss, he heard screams outside, and the noise was twice as loud. The diners who were eating also rushed to the window to look at the railing, and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Li Sihai was about to go crazy, but when he saw Bo Xianyue also cast his gaze, he had no choice but to pout and turn his head to look out. After just one glance, he shouted wildly in his heart: "Good girl, look at my uncle's pomp, this is called a man's life like fire......"

I saw that the Tongsuo Street was crowded with men, women and children, regardless of whether they were high or low, shoulder to shoulder, and the two sides of the street five or six zhang wide were stuffed with water. But even with such congestion, there was still a passage in the middle of the road, and no one dared to cross the thunder half a step.

Because two teams of black-armored knights wearing red cloaks and three-foot red tassels, riding black war horses with clear water, separated the crowd from the road. The coercion exuded by these majestic knights was prohibitive, but it also won the attention of the people.

In the midst of this strict guard, a young king wearing a new six-clawed and six-dragon king robe, with a handsome face and a gentle smile on his head, rode a fiery red horse with pure white hooves, and flew from the west.

His face is so handsome, his smile is so kind and lovely, and his figure is so slender and straight...... Coupled with his noble status, hot power, and thrilling legends...... and the marital status in the boudoir, all of which made countless little girls, little daughters-in-law, little widows, and even big girls, middle daughters-in-law, and old ladies along the street crazy and screaming, throwing flowers and fruits in their hands to him. There are also many well-prepared flower baskets scattered with flower petals. Those petals were blown by the wind and fluttered all over the street, as if the heavens had descended to earth.

Li Sihai looked at this scene with envy, he didn't know that saliva was flowing down, and he still muttered to himself: "If I have such a moment in my life, it will be ......worth it to die immediately."

Bo Xian Saiyue on the other side turned his head when he heard this, and saw his fat face dripping with saliva, and couldn't help sneering: "You...... Let's wait for the next life. Seeing that the little fat man was deeply shocked, the girl also felt that she had gone a little too far, so she picked up a radish from the plate and peeled it into flowers, and gently threw it at his fat head.

"Yueyue, you're so nice......"
