Chapter 135: Wang Zhixing

'I can't bear it, I can't bear it. This greeting is really enthusiastic, slaughtering pigs and geese on the spot, fresh slaughter, an urn is buried in the ground to get offerings, wrong, can you still eat it then? An urn of wine is fragrant when opened.

It's too grand, isn't it? In the Tang Dynasty, eating meat was not an easy task, and further speaking, before the Great Depression in the United States in 1929, what was the Hoover campaign slogan? It's just that every family has a Ford and a chicken in the pot.

Although I don't know if there is a chicken in the pot, whether it is a day or a cycle, but being able to shout such a campaign slogan shows that even in 1929, when the economy was prosperous in the United States, it was not easy to eat meat. In modern times, the leader said before he came to power that his goal after taking office was that everyone would have a piece of meat to eat and would definitely be sprayed to death. So the Tang Dynasty was so entertained that it was too grand.

"Poof, let's eat, isn't this what she is trying to do?" Seeing Li Chen's panicked look, Wang Er smiled. 'Look. ’

At this time, the rain had long since stopped, and the square was crowded with people, who had to gather in groups, drinking wine, eating good things that were usually rare, and talking and laughing loudly. Li Chen was relieved, it turned out that this was a fixed activity, 'Eat.' Pay attention to the appearance of eating. ’

'Good, uncle. Li Chen turned his head and told the children to eat, and several children agreed in unison, "You adopted these children?" Wang Er asked curiously, "Yes." Because of fate, I live alone and lonely. ''You're a good person. Wang Er patted Li Chen's shoulder, "I didn't save you at the beginning." ', embarrassment... Is it issued in this way? I haven't...

'Is your uncle usually good to you?' ''Oh no. Fat Ball frowned, "I have to go to class every day, and if I don't know it, I will be punished for copying texts." ’

'What are you talking about?' Ah Xiang knocked the fat ball on the head, "You hit me again." Fat Ball covered his head, "You still have classes?" Is it literate? ’

'Yes, I can also do arithmetic. Ah Xiang said proudly, "Uncle actually took us well, this meat is not eaten every day, at least every two days, and we will drink soy milk every day, saying that I hope we will grow tall and strong." ’

At present, there is no condition to drink milk, so Li Chen gives them soy milk. However, even if he has the conditions, he still drinks soy milk.

To grow taller, in addition to exercising, you also need to supplement protein, not because of calcium. To be right, calcium supplementation is a misconception. Westerners are generally tall and big, mainly because they are more nutritious. Since the Qing Dynasty, the per capita grain volume of Chinese has fallen to a new low, and Westerners will raise people because of the continuous progress of agriculture and the rise of animal husbandry.

Westerners drink milk to supplement animal protein, while Easterners drink soy milk. Soy milk also has plant-based protein, which is better absorbed and more suitable for oriental physique. Drinking milk, Westerners don't care, after hundreds of years of evolution, they have long been used to it, but in the Easterners, lactose intolerance accounts for the vast majority. It's just that some of them are mild, some of them are severe, and the symptoms are so mild that they don't notice it.

In the evening, Li Chen went back with the children, and the other performers all stayed, but they couldn't help it, they were all drunk and staggered when they walked. Those villagers are too, some are still helped, and some are already lying on the ground and have gone to the stall with Zhou Gong.

'Are you still here?' Before leaving, Li Chen reluctantly said, "No, Bacheng will continue to look around." "Remember one day, when you come to Pengcheng, you must come to Bliss to find me, you haven't looked at it carefully." ’

'Remember, you are a woman's house, be careful with food and water on the road, I know you can fight, but beware of hidden arrows hurting people. Li Chen was not at ease and admonished, although he knew that this was nonsense, he had traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years, Wang Er had never eaten anything, had not seen it, but had never suffered a loss. She had known this for a long time.

'Watch me do what?' On the way back, Ah Xiang stared at Li Chen carefully, staring intently, "You steal food." ''Poof. Little kids are talking nonsense. ''You obviously eat secretly, you have Sister Xiaohong, and you like another woman, isn't this stealing?'' ’

'You.... Li Chen was almost speechless, "Where did you learn it?" ''Mouth enjoyment, uncle dare not do it. ''Roar~, in the future, you are forbidden to go to the West Chamber to remember the field, I will tell the steward that you are not allowed to enter under the age of eighteen. ’

After that, I will tell Sister Xiaohong, if we find out that you are stealing food, we will seal our mouths. Ah Xiang said uneasily, Li Chen was speechless, indeed, he had a good impression of Wang Erniang, who was hearty and generous... It's just...'Ouch, Ah Xiang, you're outdated.' 'After getting along with Li Chen for a long time, some modern terms will always burst out, 'The man who doesn't have three wives and four concubines.' If you take Sister Xiaohong, you can still marry someone else. Xiaohu took over the conversation, and Li Chen gave him a praise in his heart, but at the same time gave Xiaohu a silent tribute.

Sure enough, Ah Xiang's next artillery fire was all aimed at Xiaohu, what sand pigs, machismo came out, Li Chen was covered in sweat when he heard it, he shouldn't have taught them to understand those things, 'In the future, if I marry someone, my husband dares to marry a concubine, and I will reconcile with him.' Ah Xiang said domineeringly.

Li Chen covered his head, he shouldn't have taught them these things. There is no way, outside Li Chen pays attention to his words and deeds everywhere, imitating to be a Tang person, but at home, he relaxed his guard, so he didn't hold back, and as a result, he raised a good girl like this, Li Chen should review.

After coming back, Li Chen found that life had returned to calm, and he had to pay less taxes, and Li Chen immediately paid them all. As far as the maximum liquor tax is concerned, it is less than 50 wen, and it will cost 150 wen. There is no way, it can't be less, the tax rate set by the imperial court is 150 Wen for fighting wine, and as for the previous one, it will get 50 more... It's the local self-retention money.

Then the donkey tax, car tax, and frame were also exempted, and more fortunately, the ice tax was also exempted. It's a blessing that you can save a lot of money by eliminating them.

"You are lucky, when your ancestors were still in Pengcheng, you didn't think about any business taxes. Wang Tong said, "I don't know who the ancestor is? ''Wang Zhixing...', Wang Zhixing? I haven't heard of it, 'It turns out that the ancestor is the prince.'" Disrespectful and disrespectful, a certain family is neglected. ’。

Say a few words in the scene, who wouldn't, if you really want to say that I don't know who this guy is, Wang Tong will turn his face. And since Wang Tong said how his ancestors were when he got it, it means that his ancestors were assassins in Xuzhou, and even the envoys of the festival.

It's all gone. Wang Tong laughed at himself, "I don't know if you are lucky or the people are unlucky, when the ancestors were in the past, although the commercial tax was heavier, but the people at least lived better, and now the two tax laws are implemented, and the days are not as good as a year." ’

As he spoke, Wang Tong began to complain that since the implementation of the two tax laws, the people of Xuzhou have had a hard time. Because the two tax laws stipulate that the tax must be paid by June and November. Moreover, taxes must be paid, not in kind. This is tantamount to forcing the peasants to sell the harvest before this season, exchange it for money, and then hand it over.

'The ancestor of Pengcheng, at that time, made up for the tax with commercial tax, and did not implement the two-tax law, that is, the ancestor left Xu, and Pengcheng slowly implemented the two-tax law, which became lighter and lighter, but the agricultural tax became heavier and heavier. Let's just say that your liquor tax is still widely implemented by the two tax laws in a row, and it is charged the same regardless of whether you make wine or not. ’

'Ling Zu left Xu, so Wang Shuai is coming back? Wang Tong chattered about how bitter the people were, anyway, after the ancestors left Xu, life was not as good as day by day. Li Chen was silent, he just wanted to interrupt him, and he couldn't help with this kind of thing.

When Li Chen arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he found that the Tang Dynasty had an obvious characteristic, money was expensive and things were light. Less money, more things. Or rather, there is too little money to be used for. This leads to a special phenomenon, short Mo.

Doesn't it mean that a thousand dollars is consistent? This is common sense, and you need to know a little bit of history. The phenomenon of short Mo is because the money is too small, and 800 Wen is worth 1,000 Wen. In other words, it has always become 800 texts.

But this phenomenon is the people, and the government doesn't care about it, which leads to the people being stripped of two layers of skin. The first layer is exploited by large merchants, taking advantage of your urgency and slamming down prices. The second layer is Short Mo, this back and forth, that is, the two layers of skin are peeled off.

But how can he manage this phenomenon? I can only try to change the conversation, 'When the ancestor went to Chang'an, he left a branch down. So that's it...

According to Wang Tong, the arrogant soldiers he organized first were weak in his later years. In order to show loyalty to the imperial court, he fought a war that lasted longer than expected, and he was unable to return to his hometown for many years, which led to the dissatisfaction of many middle-level officers.

Wang Zhixing has no way, to deal with this way, there are nothing more than three. The first, the withdrawal of troops? That can't be, the court didn't give an order, he couldn't withdraw. Why can't it be withdrawn? Li Chen was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.

The second point is to send money, and it is okay to send more rewards. But the question is, where does the money come from? He paid out of pocket? Let's not say that Wang Zhixing is willing to refuse, even if he is willing, he has no money to pay, it is not a few dollars, at least tens of thousands.

The third point, Wang Zhixing did this, killing... He killed the middle-level officers who had opinions. Hold things down for now. It's a pity that later he still paid the price for his comeback, and Pengcheng Junding didn't want to see him, forcing him to be in his seventies, step down and return to Chang'an to report on his work, and replace him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sure he wouldn't have been given...

After all, Pengcheng is the place where the ancestors made their fortunes, but it's a pity.... Wang Tong chattered for a while before he staggered back with the spirit of wine. He came to deliver a tax bill to Li Chen today.

After Wang Tong left, Li Chen thought a lot, he considered that he had to open up his financial resources, and he couldn't completely count on this wine. The amount of wine is too large, and the court is also staring at it, in case the policy changes one day? Thinking of this, Li Chen shuddered.

If you can't make wine, what should you rely on?
