A full ninety rods, if you really have murderous intent, because you can receive thirty rods on your back, hips and legs, you can beat a man in the prime of life to death. Please keep in mind the URL: And if there is only punishment and no killing intent, then although it is inevitable that the skin will open and the flesh will bloom, as long as it is carefully recuperated, then it will be fine.

Therefore, when Kang Si and the parents of the other family were carried down from the torture bench, seeing that the family members were all in tears, the two people who did not know each other glanced at each other, although they were full of cold sweat and their faces were painful, but they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the injuries on the body are as hot as pain, they should not hurt their muscles and bones, although the Wuxian lieutenant is not Du Shiyi, the punishment is also fair, and the errand who started has already shown mercy.

"Stop crying, go home...... It's okay, it's me who listened to the wind and rain, and I almost affected you" Kang Si gritted his teeth and said such a sentence with difficulty, and after taking a deep breath, he smiled bitterly, "Looking at the way Du Mingfu said before, I'm afraid that we were really deceived this time."

On the other side, the one who was beaten was a sturdy man who was older than Kang and was about forty-five or sixteen. His back was also crisscrossed with cane marks at this moment, but he was so hard that he didn't even snort, and after listening to Kang Si's words at this time, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and asked: "This brother, this light sentence is indeed a fluke, but how do you know that the news is fake?" Chengdu is spreading everywhere, and it can't be groundless."

"It's just this beating that reminds me of this, a thing that didn't have a little rumor before suddenly went viral like this, could it be someone Alas, don't say this, whether it's true or not, we are all registered in the government, if the recidivism is discovered, it will really implicate the whole family. Du Ming Mansion and that Wu Shao Mansion didn't seem to be officials who treated the people harshly, and they could only hope that they really had a good decree."

As the two people were carried out by their families crying and crying, it didn't take long for the whole city to know about the sentence of the county lieutenant Wu Zhiming. Most of the residents scoff at the speculation of these customers, but the customers in the city are inevitably a little unsteady. Early the next morning, there were many people at the gate of the Chengdu County Party, all of whom came to test whether they could be invited out of the city, and it was not until Wu Zhiming left the gate of the County Party that the crowd quieted down a little.

He has been an official for 12 years, but he has only been an official for five years, all of which are in the county lieutenant from Jiupin, and the only change is that the county lieutenant of Chengdu is far better than his first official Langzhou Xinzheng county lieutenant, Wu Zhiming's career is naturally a heaven and an underground compared to the children of the family. But because of this, his experience is extraordinarily rich, and the only thing he lacks is to be on his own.

At this moment, in the face of these dozens of people, he coughed lightly, signaled the messenger behind him to paste the notice on the wall, and then said: "There are rumors in the city that the land tax will be halved from next year, and the exemption from servitude will be canceled soon."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "The imperial court decree is subject to the government, and the so-called rumors of the people are ill-intentioned, and it is not enough to believe that the Du Ming Mansion order is posted to warn the people of the four realms that the land tax will be halved and the old will be restored next year. However, the customer is exempt from servitude, and it is still limited to five years as stated in the previous account bracketing, and there is no change. I am afraid that the people of the four realms will listen to and believe it, and now I am ordered by Du Mingfu to issue an order to appease customers."

At the behest of Wu Zhiming, a jīng written order behind him stepped forward to post a haode notice and read aloud: "Since the customer has been naturalized, he is a resident of Chengdu, and there is no difference." However, the newly naturalized customers, many have no land and less land, the heart of fear of enslavement can be forgiven, but the heart of the escape does not take to live and work in peace and contentment, one of which should be acres of land, now Chengdu four realms, has been registered for many years without reclamation of 3,000 acres of wasteland, that is, rì to recruit people to cultivate, loan to seed seedlings, people to 30 acres as the limit, annual production of abundant, that is, the line of granting land. Second, 3,000 acres of remote mountainous land are divided into mountains to raise floating households to grow tea, and the government sends special people to teach, and the government collects it uniformly during the tea picking season every year; Third, outside the long-lived Chili Canal, there is still a cofferdam that has been in disrepair for a long time, and it needs manpower to repair it, and 500 people have been recruited......"

Different from the official government's usual rhetorical examples, this notice drafted by Wu Zhiming himself is simple and easy to understand, and Ling Shi is very loud, and when he reads it aloud, he up his ears to listen. Hearing that the government granted 3,000 acres of land, and lent seeds, and 3,000 acres of mountainous land will provide tea seedlings, as well as teach the corresponding jishu, in addition, it is to recruit people for various construction projects in Chengdu, although it has not completely solved the livelihood, but it is enough to ⊥ can only barely survive as a human servant, and they have to worry about all kinds of servitude They see Xi

When the news reached Fan Chengming's ears, he frowned slightly, and then sneered: "But he will only take it for granted that the land of one county, it is an anomaly to raise thousands of guan before, and it is reluctant to build a pond and a canal, how else do he plan to gather, and then build this and that?" As for granting land, these are still a drop in the bucket, whether it is wasteland or mountainous land, it depends on the output, is it a matter of a year and a half? He thought the people were stupid enough to believe him? ”

Du Shiyi himself knows that these are only temporary measures, and it is difficult to maintain them for a year or even longer, so he needs something that can maintain the confidence of his customers in housing for a long time. As early as a few years ago, not long after he arrived in Chengdu, he had already begun to prepare after discovering the contradictions between his customers and residents, especially the conflicts between large local households and well-dressed households. Therefore, when a letter was delivered to him two years later, he was naturally very excited. On the day he got the letter, he quietly came to the Jade Zhenguan in Changhuafang.

"It's ...... Song Kaifu's letter? ”

At the end of the game, Wang Rong saw that Du Shiyi happily put the small roll of paper on the chessboard, and pushed it towards herself, and her eyes were clear for a while. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her hand to take it and unfold it to take a look, and saw that Song Jing's hand was straight and bone-like, and she couldn't help but admire her even more, and even straightened her back. However, the content of the letter made her stop breathing for a while, especially when she saw the very end, she looked up into Du Shiyi's eyes.

"Du Lang, you ......"

"As early as a few years ago, I went to see Song Kaifu because of Yuwen's integration of Tian Kuohu. That's when I brought it up to him. The rent adjustment was originally a positive tax, but in addition to this, additional household tax and land tax were levied, and over time, the people were overwhelmed with suffering. Since it is difficult to implement the system of equalizing land, it is better to abolish rents and levie only household and land taxes than to force them to equalize land. After that, according to the household and the rich and poor, the class was re-determined, and the servants were assigned. The land tax is divided into two seasons a year, called summer tax and autumn grain, so that those who have no land will not flee in a big way.

Wang Rong was not an ignorant woman, she naturally knew what the significance of this move was, and she was silent for a long time: "What did Song Kaifu say at the beginning?" ”

"Song Kaifu said at the beginning that this matter is too important, if I rashly proposed it at that time, I was afraid that it would lead to a fierce debate, and Yuwen Rong Tian Kuohu was going on, it was inevitable that some people would put me and him alongside each other as ministers of speech."

"Then now Song Kaifu actually agreed?"

"That's because I'm in Chengdu, if I try it out in one place, the scope is not wide, and the involvement is not big, although he is not in Luoyang, he is sure that he can write bixia with this matter, and then I try it out. Of course, there are risks, but it is worth trying to change them compared to waiting until the tax system collapses. Do you know that I have looked through the tax booklet of Chengdu before, and for several years in a row, Chengdu's tax and land tax have been compared to three-quarters of the rent and adjustment. In other words, it is almost equivalent to a regular tax, but the rent adjustment of large households is only a drop in the bucket for them, but ordinary people are different."

"Then what standard do you plan to collect this household tax and land tax?"

"The land tax is divided into two seasons, the summer tax, the tentative tax is six liters per mu of the upper field, and four liters of the tax per mu of the lower field; For autumn grain, the tax per mu of the upper field is five liters, and the tax per mu of the lower field is three liters. That is, in the upper field, one mu tax is one bucket and one liter, and in the lower field, one mu is taxed seven liters. As for the household tax, it is divided into upper and lower nine grades, 4,000 wen for upper and upper households, 3,500 wen for upper and middle households, 3,000 wen for upper and lower households, 2,500 wen for middle and upper households, 2,000 wen for middle and middle households, 1,500 wen for middle and lower households, 1,000 wen for lower and upper households, 700 wen for lower middle households, and 500 wen for lower and lower households. In addition, there is no other tax

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, the highest price of rice is only twenty or thirty yuan, most of them are only a dozen yuan, even if the large households with 10,000 acres of fertile land, the annual tax is only slight, and the household tax is only within the burden." In fact, there is only one thing that is really difficult, and that is to recreate the cadastral book of the capital. As long as I can present this object to the saint as soon as possible, even if there is a dispute, then I will have the upper hand. ”

Wang Rong thought that Du Shiyi had planned this matter as early as a year ago, and he wanted to exchange letters with Song Jing more than once, and his heart couldn't help but move: "Then Du Lang means that you have already asked people to go to the countryside to determine the acres of land?" ”

"Where is there such a fast, only a dozen people in Wu Jiu, but a few townships are just roughly determined." Du Shiyi smiled slightly, when it came to the errand officer in Dengfeng County at the beginning, compared to the pot-bellied guy he saw before, it was a thousand miles away. I just don't know if this guy will lose a lot of weight during this trip to the countryside. After a moment of emotion, he said to Wang Rongzheng, "In addition, it is the tax of merchants who have no fixed residence. ”

's father is a businessman, and if the two brothers fail to become a businessman, the name of the Wang family will probably end in this generation. Wang Rong, who is well aware of this, naturally knows that the money that a wealthy businessman gets in a year is several times that of those big landlords who own hundreds of thousands of acres of land. At the beginning of the country, there was no commercial tax, but since then, it has not been levied from time to time, and the amount is different, so what she is most concerned about at the moment is the issue of the quota.

"Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, I am afraid it is not appropriate to set it too high, and I plan to set it at thirty taxes and one." Du Shiyi paused for a moment again, and seeing that Wang Rong obviously had no objection to this number, he said the most important sentence, "Except for Li Cui, Xian Yu Zhongtong is this person, you had better meet it in person." This person is smart, and the city government is also deep, and it is safest to be included in the Chinese side. ”

"Then the customer's fluctuating hearts ...... this time"

"Of course, the two taxes are just a matter of time, I will start to solve this matter immediately, but I need a favor from the lady, Fan Yuanjun, I don't worry."
