"Since the current Emperor ascended the throne, he has swept away the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the previous emperors, and has instead devoted himself to the reform of government decrees and the solution of the shortcomings of redundant local officials...... Nowadays, in the past few years, the results have been remarkable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Jiang Wuding glanced at Gu Zhenren with a painful face, and whispered: "Looking at the grain tax alone, even in the most onerous place, it should not exceed thirty percent. ”
"Thirty percent? Isn't there a grain tax of more than ninety percent like the Wudang faction? ”
When Jiang Wuding heard this, he almost fell on his back and shouted, "What are you kidding!" ”
"Most of the people in the world are farmers who dig from the soil, and they rely on God to eat and eat, if the wind and rain are smooth in the year, it is good, but if they really catch up with some natural and man-made disasters, the family is afraid that they will starve...... In addition, not all the grain harvested in one year is to be eaten, but the seed grain sown in the following year must be kept, so that there is even less grain that can be used as food. Even in the most erosive period of all dynasties, I have never heard of such an appalling thing as the ninety percent grain tax! ”
Li Xuan looked at Gu Zhenren with burning eyes, and said sharply: "Zhenren, what do you say? ”
"Yes, ninety percent of the grain tax is indeed true, and the poor have nothing to say." Gu Zhenren's face was ashen, and he waved his hand: "If Master Li wants to do the right thing for the sky, the poor road has nothing to say." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”
"The real man is serious." Li Xuanlang said: "Although Li is still young, he also knows that this is a major matter related to the survival of the century-old faction, and it is not something that can be decided by a real person alone. ”
"Besides, relatively speaking, I'm afraid that the Wudang faction's eating appearance is not the most ugly."
"Take the two factions of Diancang and Tianshan as an example, they do everything for the people under their rule, except for the barely satisfying rations, the rest of the income from farming is handed over, which is no different from the private slaves of the sect!"
When Gu Fan heard the names of the two factions of Diancang and Tianshan, he felt a little familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "Hey, didn't the heads of these two factions come together to find trouble with Li Xuan!" ”
"The rivers and lakes are rumored to be false, how can Gu Shaoxia believe it." Li Xuan said casually: "I did a fight with the heads of the two factions, but I took the initiative to find the door that time." ”
Gu Fan suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but shudder: "According to what you say, after you defeated the two masters in three moves, you drifted away, I'm afraid it was also a false rumor?" ”
"It's true that I drifted away, but I didn't just 'defeat' the enemy in three moves......" Li Xuan's next words, like the cold wind of the Nine Shades, made many elders and heads of the inn shudder: "If I am good, the funeral of the two heads should not be finished yet." ”
"Now everyone, can you understand why the imperial court regards the various sects as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh?"
"The Wudang faction alone has tens of thousands of disciples and vassals, and under its rule, there are countless fertile fields and laborers, as if it is already a country within a country!"
"The people around Wudang Mountain only know Wudang, but they don't know our dynasty!"
"Even the Wudang faction at the head of the righteous path is this virtue, as for other small families, do you need me to say more?"
"Besides, I see that the people under the rule of your sect have borne such heavy taxes, I'm afraid it's not as good as the life of the people under the protection of the dog court in your mouth, right?"
"Even staying in those sects that don't treat farmers as human beings, but only reward a bowl of rations when they are in a good mood, how different is it from the beggars who were killed by the Jiang Mansion Lord that day!"
At this time, the little Taoist boy Zhuo Mingjue, who had always been confused, seemed to have grasped the loophole in Li Xuan's words, and shouted as if crazy: "No, no! In addition to the grain tax, our Wudang has no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the forced labor of the imperial court every year is the main culprit that makes the people miserable! ”
"Joke!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly: "Now the Jianzhou Jurchen Department has been eyeing the Central Plains, and its military strength has already swelled to the point that even our dynasty has to face it squarely. In recent years, the major border passes have been in full swing, and the soldiers guarding the gates are even more bloody...... If you don't levy and send out conscription, build the city pass, and drive the Tartar iron cavalry straight in, how can you have the opportunity to show off your power here! ”
"On the contrary, you are a group of high-ranking warriors, who do not think about serving the country with all your skills, and only know how to exploit the people in your own one-third of an acre, what is the reason?"
"Say it lightly!" Ke Fuhu sneered: "Li Daxia, your kung fu is so high, why didn't you go to Shanhaiguan to kill a few Tartars?" ”
Before Ke Fuhu finished speaking, Li Xuan, who was in front of him, ripped off his shirt and robe, revealing his sturdy upper body......
"This ......" Ke Fuhu's pupils shrank, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Li Xuan's upper body now, in addition to the new wounds that had just been blown up by Lin Peiyun's bomb, there are countless old scars, among which there is a scar that starts from the chest and spreads to the lower abdomen, like a hideous centipede, tightly coiled on Li Xuan's skin.
"In the past two years, although Li has known that his strength is limited, he has also volunteered to contribute his strength to resist the invasion of foreign races, and hundreds of wounds on his body, large and small, are all proof!"
"I, Li, have been at the border for two whole years, and I haven't seen a so-called martial arts hero! On the contrary, when my life was hanging by a thread several times, it was the ordinary people and ordinary soldiers whom you disdained that rescued me...... Where were you when you went down to the border to resist foreign enemies? ”
"Where are you?"
Li Xuan's voice was the first to drink, and it kept echoing in the ears of everyone in the inn, and many martial artists couldn't stand this roar, and they spurted out a mouthful of blood in an instant!
"Zhuo Mingjue, let me ask you, why did you practice martial arts in the first place!" Li Xuan was unforgiving, and walked to Zhuo Mingjue, who was sitting on the ground, in three steps, and said loudly.
Zhuo Mingjue, who was completely debated by Li Xuan, was in a state of confusion, and suddenly heard Li Xuan's shout at himself, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and subconsciously replied: "Hoe the strong to help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor." ”
"A good hoe to help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor!"
Li Xuan sneered: "Could it be that the powerful people in this world are all traitors and evildoers, and those who have wealth in the family are all rich and unkind?" ”
"You self-proclaimed chivalrous martial artists, if you don't have any entanglements at hand, you will rely on your martial arts to rob others of the money they have worked hard to accumulate for most of their lives, and then take a pitiful little bit out of it and give it to those poor beggars...... It is called 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'. ”
"What's more, if you are resisted by the rich family's nursing home, you will inevitably make a big fuss, beat the master's family to broken tendons, and then lose your heart, and destroy people at every turn!"
"I would like to ask you, how much of the entanglement in your hands is earned by your own hard work?"
