Zhu Qingqing looked up at the old man opposite, and saw that he was full of white hair and had a very dark complexion. If it weren't for the smooth and elastic skin, he would look like an old farmer. No matter what the appearance is, the person opposite is her fiancé Zhao Xun's uncle, and Zhao Jiaxin, the famous 'Shennong in the world' in the agricultural circles of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia rebuilt the Great Song Dynasty, the Seven Great Song Schools gradually appeared. They are Hangzhou University, Dasong National Defense College, Dasong College of Education, Dasong Agricultural College, Hangzhou Medical College, Dasong University of Political Science and Law, and Dasong College of Surveying and Mapping.

From the ranking, we can see the status of the Great Song Agricultural College, and the loyal king Zhao Jiaxin is the president of the Great Song Agricultural College, and he is a big man in the world. From the newspapers, we can often see the role of improved varieties in the agriculture of the Great Song Dynasty. There is even a folk legend that wherever the loyal king Zhao Jiaxin walked, there would be a bumper harvest in the local area.

"It's a gift for you." Zhao Jiaxin handed an envelope to Zhao Xun.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhao Xun took it with a smile.

Looking at her fiancé's expression, Zhu Qingqing somewhat understood why Zhao Jiaren was named the king of loyalty. Generally speaking, people with the title of Shennong in the world are probably praised to a status that is almost second only to the official family. Shennong is one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. However, all that can be seen in Zhao Jiaxin is the love for his relatives, even if this relative is the son of the official family, even if the official family is Zhao Jiaxin's younger brother. Generally speaking, the eldest son should be the successor to power.

Just when Zhu Qingqing was speculating about the internal relationship of her husband's family, she saw that Zhao Xun opened her faith heartlessly. It was not a gift list, but a deposit receipt from the Great Song Dynasty. Zhu Qingqing glanced at it and froze. The slip reads 'Two Picks Up Ten Thousand Pieces'.

Seeing his nephew's radiant appearance, Zhao Jiaxin smiled: "If your father knows that your father is in charge of your money, then you are talking about it yourself." ”

Zhao Xun was already smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes, "Thank you, uncle, thank you!" ”

"If you think this money will hurt you, then you might as well leave it to your father for safekeeping."

"Please rest assured, uncle, I will never use this money to eat, drink and have fun."

"How you use it is your business. Thirty years ago, I cultivated good seeds with your father, and the most important thing I lacked was money. Your father is so capable, your mother is decent, and I am not too worried about giving you this money. ”

Listening to the common memories of the elderly, Zhu Qingqing became interested, and it didn't take long for Zhu Qingqing to be a member of the Zhao family. Uncle Zhao made a generous move and spoke frankly. Thirty years ago, Zhao Guan's family was about the same age as Zhao Xun and Zhu Qingqing, but he didn't know how capable Zhao Jiaren was when he was young.

"Uncle, I want to ask, how old are you to earn 200,000 pieces of family property. I'll see if I can earn that much at that age. Zhao Xun asked a little playfully.

"At that time, I made mosquito coils with your father, and every penny we earned wanted to be broken in half and spent. If you have money, you will rent land, and I earned 200,000 yuan a few years ago, and I am in my fifties. Zhao Jiaxin recalls the past history with nostalgia.

"Then to put it another way, when did the uncle have 10,000 acres of fertile land?" Zhao Xun continued to make fun.

"If there are 10,000 acres of fertile land, it will be very early, well, your father went from Putian to Linqing to be a county lieutenant at the age of fourteen...... Well, at the age of seventeen, he became a prisoner on Fujian Road. At the age of nineteen, he went to Ezhou to fight the Mongols. ...... twenty years old. Well, he was nineteen years old, I was already married at that time, in my early thirties, and with the land I rented plus your aunt's land, I had 10,000 acres of fertile land for planting at that time. ”

Listening to the old man's meeting, Zhu Qingqing's expression was solemn. In his early thirties, he could manage 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is already very impressive. However, Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family had already led the army to defeat the Mongolian army at the age of nineteen, and such a legend came out of the mouth of Zhao Guan's brother, which really made people feel a shock that went deep into the bone marrow.

"Actually, I wanted to give you some land, but my father resolutely refused to allow it. Don't get carried away with the money that will be given to you this time. Zhao Jiaxin admonished.

After meeting the eldest uncle, the next step is to visit the second uncle. Before Zhu Qingqing met Zhao Jiali, he was very curious about this King Ning who only heard his name. Among the three Zhao brothers, the name of the prince has never been famous. After meeting King Ning, Zhu Qingqing felt that this imperial prince was very calm, or a little angry. People are just like their names, and they treat each other with courtesy.

Although the two have been married, they have not yet married. At this time, it was the weekend, and Zhao Xun sent Zhu Qingqing back to her house. There will be someone from the Zhu family who will send Zhu Qingqing to school on Monday. is the son of the Zhao official family, and he can't live together unmarried in this era. When I arrived at Zhu Qingqing's house, I passed by the entrance of the primary school affiliated to Hangzhou University. Zhao Xun smiled: "In the future, when we have a child, we will send him here to school." ”

Zhu Qingqing's face flushed and said, "It's not serious." Even so, I couldn't help but look inside the school. On school days, there are a lot of elementary school students in the school. Now, the campus is empty...... A group of teenagers dressed in Mongolian costumes stood inside the school gate.

Zhao Xun also noticed the Mongolian costumes of these people, and he was also a little surprised. The Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia are mortal enemies, why did so many Mongolian teenagers suddenly appear. At this time, a Mongolian boy led by him happened to turn around, Zhu Qingqing was stunned, and saw that the young man had a fair complexion and handsome eyebrows.

After looking at it for a moment, Zhu Qingqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun is tall and has a handsome face. Seeing her fiancé's appearance, Zhu Qingqing became confident.

At this time, it was already October in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was dark early. Zhao Xun sent Zhu Qingqing home, and then rushed back to his home, it was already dark. Dinner at home is almost ready.

Zhao Jiaren didn't eat at home, he was very busy these days. At this time, Zhao Jiaren was in the head office of the society, and the core members of the society had already gathered. Zhao Jiaren said angrily: "I forget who said that all kinds of taxes in all dynasties and dynasties are all in my Great Song Dynasty. Although he didn't dare to say anything, what I said for him might be described as the Great Song Wanshui. ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiaren wrote the words 'Great Song Wanshui' on the blackboard. Even those who didn't figure it out couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"After the southern invasion of Mongolia and the surrender of Lin'an, my Great Song Dynasty actually did not receive too much tax for more than ten years. However, the Great Song Dynasty was rich, and the people's life was not able to live and work in peace and contentment, at least it was better than when the Great Song Dynasty was taxed. Now I don't want to restore the old system of the 10,000 tax, but this tax cannot be left uncollected. Some of the presidents who are doing it already know, and many of them don't know yet, and I plan to set four types of taxes and fully implement them in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Jiaren was able to have today's status because he easily set aside the little emperor and the little emperor's cronies. The overhead means that he did not restore the traditional tax system, and relied on the industries controlled by Zhao Jiaren to support the finances of the Great Song Dynasty. Every penny in the hands of the little emperor and the people who followed the banner of the little emperor was taken from Zhao Jiaren, and they could not make a wish by appointing a tax officer. For several years, it was not possible to form a real gang, let alone rebuild the imperial court.

Now that Zhao Jiaren is finally going to restore the tax system nationwide, the academic and social governors, who are the real public opinion institutions of the Great Song Dynasty, are all snorting and staring, for fear of missing a word.

Zhao Jiaren wrote bits and pieces on the blackboard according to his habit. The elders of the society looked carefully and saw Zhao Jiaren write.

Real estate tax, real estate tax, excise tax, import tax.

After writing these sixteen words simply, Zhao Jiaren turned his head and said to everyone: "The Great Song Dynasty does not need ten thousand taxes, I am only going to collect these four taxes in the future." But let me tell you first that these four taxes will not be tolerated, as long as they are within this range, all taxes will be levied as they are. In the future of the Great Song Dynasty, only tax payment and death are inevitable! ”

Everyone is in a high position, or they are experts in a certain field, and when they see the expression of the official, they know that Zhao Jiaren is not joking. Everyone didn't speak, and listened carefully to Zhao Jiaren's next story.

Real estate tax refers to a tax levied on land owners according to the price of land. The taxation of land originated earlier in China, but it is generally called land tax or agricultural tax, which is in the nature of land income tax. At present, Zhao Jiaren's real estate tax is not about the output of the land, but only on the land itself.

The Great Song Dynasty was divided into fifth-class households, and the fifth-class households were poor, and there was such a record in the composition of the fifth-class households: "The households in the prefectures and counties of the world are mostly poor and rich, and the fifth-class households are booked by county, and the middle-class households are less than one-fifth, and the fourth- and fifth-class households are often nine-tenths." ”

That is to say, the poor accounted for "nine-tenths" of the population of the Great Song Dynasty, and although they themselves were landed households, they belonged to poor peasants and semi-tenant farmers whose land was obviously insufficient to make ends meet: "All the fourth and fifth class families, with the number of acres of land, are not far apart, and they are not coarse and thick, and they are not equipped with brown cloth, and they are not immune to the worry of freezing and hunger." If it is cold in the middle of winter, let him go to his house and teach with the people who have food and clothing in the city after the full moon, how can he be embarrassed! ”

Especially in densely populated places, "the people of Shu are increasing, the open land is exhausted, and the lower households (fourth, fifth, etc.) have thirty or fifty acres of land, or six or seven acres, and support a family of more than ten people. ”

As for the wealthy, there are about a million in the first to third class households, and among these, "the royalties of the counties of the world are different according to their customs." or with tax money, or with the land of the land, or with the accumulation of wealth, or with the field of seeds, set up as the fifth class. In terms of its fifth, there is considerable unevenness. Cover with the same tax money, or occupy a piece of land, or accumulate a thousand pieces of wealth, or receive ten stones of seed for the first class; As for the tax money, the land is for ten percent, the wealth is for ten percent, and the wealth is for ten thousand, and the seed is for a hundred stones, which is also the first class. They are equal, but the rich and the poor are far apart. ”

Zhao Jiaren said calmly: "No matter who it is, all of them have to pay taxes!" From the first to the fifth class, all of them have to pay taxes. ”
