"Thirty percent is a lot, and a grain is grown with hard work." The old man said with emotion, but Cui Wensheng was stunned, he had been in the local area for a long time, and he naturally understood the tax business, comparing everywhere, this payment of thirty percent is not a burden, but should be called moral politics.

The various taxes and servitudes of the government are combined, and the number on the surface is not too amazing, and the average peasant household has a harvest of 20 or 30 percent a year, but in addition to the imperial grain and national taxes, the consumption of local yamen, and the benefits of official servitude, it is also necessary to come out of the above.

However, after the new salary was added, seventy or even eighty percent of the year's harvest would be stripped away, and the common people and peasant households would directly lose their subsistence grain, and they went bankrupt and went into exile one after another.

"Only 30%, no other overpayment?" Cui Wensheng asked again.

"It's not right for you to be outside, what is the old man still lying to you?" The continuous questioning made the old man not very happy, and said rhetorically.

Cui Wensheng laughed twice and continued to ask: "Except for the ones handed in, the government doesn't apportion any work?" ”

"Why don't you apportion, you can't be idle at any time, you have to repair the road when it rains, you have to dig the river and dig a ditch in winter, and you can't finish it, you talk about it, after the rain and when the cold ground freezes that day, how good it is to rest at home, you have to do the work, you say that the road at the entrance of the village is forgotten, go to dig the river and dig the ditch, then what is the matter with us." The old man was opened, but his mouth was full of complaints.

At this time, a man in his forties walked by with the beat of the field on his back, and when he heard this, he joked with a smile: "Fourth uncle, this is not right, why don't you say that when we go to work, we will take care of the rice over there, and deduct the imperial grain, besides, digging a ditch to divert water is a good thing, this harvest is so good, is there still water to irrigate the ground?" ”

Don't look in front of Cui Wensheng, this old man is obedient, but the people in the village said that he was angry, the old man stood up directly and scolded angrily: "You know, the harvest is good, we worship the dragon lord piously, what is the matter of digging ditches and digging rivers, you are talking such nonsense, be careful of the dragon lord's guilt"

The man had a good temper, he laughed a few times, and went to be busy again, there was a lot of movement here, and a mother-in-law nearby shouted: "He is too much of a strange uncle, we used to pay a few percent a year, and now we have to pay a few percent, how much better life is, this blessing is the blessing of the land grandmother." ”

The fourth old man didn't argue with his mother-in-law, and muttered there: "What kind of land grandmother, how can there be a dragon lord's miracle." ”

The eunuch Cui Wensheng only smiled bitterly when he heard it on the side, the villagers were stupid, he really didn't understand anything, but he could hear something else, this Xuzhou thief really ran Xuzhou well, built water conservancy, and increased the harvest, but there was a little bit that also made this Cui Wensheng confused, this water conservancy and increase the harvest, if it was according to the practice of the Xuzhou thief, there would not be much benefit at all, was it just to win the hearts of the people?

Except for the somewhat confused old man in front of him, the others didn't see much gratitude, what was the use of such a heart.

Cui Wensheng glanced at the drying field, but noticed that there were several families that were obviously different from others, they were all busy in this drying field, so naturally they would not be rich landlords, but the dress of these families was obviously more decent and the complexion was better, and they were all beaming when they were busy, and this state was also very different from others.

"Old man, those families look so happy and happy, could it be that they have been doing a happy event recently?" Cui Wensheng asked again, the common people also have their own plans, this Cui eunuch asked too much, and the old man also felt that something was wrong, but Cui Wensheng understood people's hearts very well, and touched it in his purse, and there were already more than a dozen brand-new copper coins in his hand.

The copper coin was checked, the old man was stunned for a moment, his face immediately took a little courtesy, and he looked at what Cui Wensheng was pointing at, and when he saw those households, his face immediately hung a look of jealousy and disdain, and he pouted and said: "If I don't pay the national tax on imperial grain, I will be my own as much as I want, and I will be happy all day long." ”

"Don't pay that thirty percent?" Cui Wensheng asked curiously, if you use this to win people's hearts, it will be too cost-effective.

"This lord, don't think it's a good thing, the men of these families are all working hard for the Zhao family, yes, call the family to come, when this family can give the family money every month, and give the family more land, and don't have to pay taxes, we go to live to earn food, they earn more, but without their sons and brothers, what's the use of earning more, it's not that I'm worried all day long, I can't sleep at night, for fear that someone will come to report the funeral one day."

This village is the most unsightly of other families, and the older ones are full of jealousy, but Cui Wensheng didn't notice the old man's feelings, until this time, he was terrified, for Zhao Ziying, for that Zhao Jin worked hard, the family can share the land, and can also be exempted from paying taxes, this benefit is too tempting, and the gap with the surrounding people has widened, don't look at this old man called Sibo said that he is jealous, if his children go to be a family, he must be very happy.

At this time, the mother-in-law who had said that the grandmother of the land also came over, glanced over there and said: "Don't talk about it like that, maybe they are still looking forward to the death and injury of their children, once they are killed or injured, I heard that they will give silver money and food every month, and that day will catch up with the big families in our village, tsk, a life is only worth a few catties of food." ”

The old man patted his thigh and said to the eunuch Cui: "This foreign master, do you say that there is no such reason, in the past, they were all old in the village, and there were decent people in charge, and the official uncle also recognized this, but now it's good, that hairy boy, who has been a group practice for a few days, has been disabled from eating a knife and bleeding, and when he returns to the village, he doesn't say that he bows his head and is a man, and he actually becomes a village leader, managing everyone, I am still his grandfather."

The chatter kept coming, but Cui Wensheng saw a few people coming out of the village over there, one of them was limping, and the person who was carrying the paddle on his back was also among them, pointing and pointing to this side.

Cui Wensheng didn't continue to listen to the old man and his mother-in-law's complaints, but threw the copper coin to the ground, turned around and left, and could still hear the scramble behind him, "He is the fourth uncle, the old man didn't say it to anyone, don't take it all"

Directly turned over and walked away, no one came out of Yanjia Village to chase after him, Eunuch Cui didn't pay attention to the back, and rode his own horse to join the team, he didn't know that the lame young man behind him walked towards the old man, the old man who was full of complaints before had already stood up in panic, and said with a smile on his face: "Dazhu, aren't you busy?" Why did you come here, you don't have to worry about the farm work at home, and your uncles help out? ”

The lame young man who was called the big pillar was very silent, his walking posture was very strange, although one leg was inconvenient, but he always tried to make a positive look, in front of the old man, he looked at it a few times, the woman smiled and avoided it, the old man hesitated, and handed over the copper coin he was holding in his hand, the disabled young man ignored it, and just asked kindly: "Fourth grandfather, what did you just say to that outsider?" ”

Cui Wensheng, who joined the brigade, was silent for a long time, which made his subordinates a little frightened, and they didn't know what Eunuch Cui had just seen and heard in that village.

"Go and meet the people in front of you, let them lead the way, let's hurry up and go to Hejiazhuang." Cui Wensheng commanded.

"Father-in-law, are you not feeling well?" A cronie asked, but was glared back by Cui Wensheng with a gloomy face, and no one dared to say more.

The reason why I asked this was because Cui Wensheng's tone had a trill, and he looked like he was frightened.

Cui Wensheng was indeed afraid, what he saw and heard was not complicated, but he could deduce a very terrible situation, if it went on like this, wherever this thief controlled the territory, the imperial court would not have a little popular will at all, what righteousness and loyalty, what Qiankun Sheji, for the people of Limin, it is who can make them live better, they are in charge, if a scholar comes here, he may be indignant and feel that the people are ignorant, but Eunuch Cui, who has been running errands since childhood, understands the interests of people better

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Xuzhou's approach was simply digging the roots of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was heavy on literature and light on martial arts, but Xuzhou was obviously a better treatment for martial artists, and the Ming Dynasty paid attention to routine practices, no one cared about the life and death of the people and farmers on this tax and forced labor, just layer by layer, and this side is simple and clear, light and thin tax, and there is a point, let the people do things and still have a reward, the Ming Dynasty conscription is not done in vain, but in fact it is a hard apportionment, if you really let this gang of thieves do it, All the decent people on the Ming side are afraid that there is no benefit at all, and in this set of Xuzhou, there is no place for everyone.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Cui's body trembled, and he shook his head violently, what was he thinking about, he was here to appease Zhao'an, the thieves were still in Xuzhou, and they didn't occupy more places, this set of tactics had to be done by them, what was the use of just having people's hearts without money and food, and they couldn't hold on.

Daming still has a destiny, the thieves are rampant and rampant by them, sooner or later there will be a day of destruction, Eunuch Cui thought of this, and he was relieved.

Xiao County is not far from Hejiazhuang, as it gets closer and closer, the horseback riders of Zhao Ziying and the Jianghu warriors on duty are no longer polite to Eunuch Cui's team, there are riders on the left and right who follow, and some people ask about the intention, and quickly go back to report.
