Although the tenants are only employed, in ancient times, it is a very sad thing for farmers to have no land of their own, which is equivalent to duckweed without roots, even if the farmers can't eat it in a famine year, they may not sell their fields, let alone such a peaceful period.

As she expected, ten days later, the people from the official government came here, there were prefects and counties, and some people who looked like guards, but the leader was a delicate man with a white face and no beard, it was the angel Tang Gonggong. summoned Yingman and asked to see the printing press, Yingman was not ambiguous, and took them directly to the room and saw the printing press that occupied half of the house.

"How much can this printing press print in a day, and what are the limitations?"

"This machine can print 10,000 pages a day, this is the printing text typesetting console, to say this limitation, is that although I have customized some iron parts of this machine, but most of them are wood, I am afraid it is easier to break. Yingman talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the printing press.

"Can this thing be made of iron?" asked Grandpa Tang immediately.

"Yes, it's just that the parts aren't that easy to make. Yingman took out some drawings, and the parts on the job, mainly gears and chains and some other parts, "These are not so easy to come up with." ”

Father-in-law Tang took it and looked at it, and nodded, today's iron tools are all made, these are not so easy to get at a glance, wood can be carved carefully, iron is not so simple.

"How about building a new one?" asked Grandpa Tang again.

"I have been working on this machine for half a year, and if there are craftsmen to help make it, it may take a month, but this one is enough, I will not make a second machine, but I can provide drawings. Yingman estimated, but she didn't want to be a craftsman, so she made it clear beforehand.

"What if the Holy Lord asks you to do it?" I didn't expect Ying Man to say this, and Grandpa Tang's face also changed.

"I'll answer the same thing, but you can send someone over and I'll help with the training. Yingman was not worried at all, she also understood a little, the outsiders of this world, that is, monks and Taoists, as long as they did not commit any crimes, many times they were much freer than ordinary people, and the government could not call them at will, and their status was so high.

However, in order to avoid trouble, Yingman still used some small means, the mirage is a very practical prop, even if it is not refined into a magic weapon, it can confuse others just by wearing it on the body, so Tang Gonggong changed the topic according to her thoughts.

"In that case, I'll go back and talk to the Holy One. ”

"Then thank you father-in-law. ”

This was confused, but later Father-in-law Tang saw the textbook compiled by Yingman, and he was very interested, so he took a set with him when he left.

Sent away Tang Gonggong, and the people in the village came to inquire, but Yingman used the above requirements to conceal and sent away, but they were still very curious about the intentions of those nobles, and Yingman also revealed some, because there is a printing press here, even if there are craftsmen to learn to make in the future, but this kind of thing is not so easy to learn, and the printing press here will definitely not be abandoned, and the character of this Baishui Village may change at that time.

Since Yingman has made a printing press, in fact, he doesn't mind improving the papermaking technique, after all, the paper is expensive is also the reason why books are expensive now, but this is not in a hurry now, wait for the above arrangement to come down first, although she refused before, but she can't guarantee that the above will accept, she has this right, people have more power than her, and it is also a crime to resist the will.

Fortunately, in the past half a month, the Tang Gonggong who came again brought good news, the emperor thought that this could not be dismantled anyway, and the new production also needed to be learned, so he simply asked people to bring craftsmen over to learn, and the reward for Yingman also came down.

Not to mention giving her the title of the world's first female crown, she also gave a mountain in Baishui Village to build a Taoist temple for her, and also turned the entire village of Baishui Village into a Taoist field for her Taoist temple, just like the temple field of the temple, these fields do not need to be taxed.

This was very common in ancient times, but in this world, temples and temples are allowed to have them only after the approval of the government, and this is directly given to a village, which can be said to be very generous to the emperor.

In addition, after reading the textbooks written by Yingman himself, the emperor also gave her some red signatures of books, with this, she can print books by herself and sell them, which can be regarded as recognizing the role of Yingman's enlightenment books.

But for the people in the village, it was very bad, after all, it was originally their field, and Yingman summoned everyone, "This is the decree of the emperor today, and I can't change it, but I don't ask for anything else, as long as I give me half of the rent every year, and according to the harvest of the year, it is not fixed,

This half of the rent will be the income of my Taoist temple and the academy in the future, and the people in the village can still go to school for free, but if it is from another village, they need to pay another fee. In addition to this, I have one more thing to teach the villagers. ”

The land tax in this world is 5, which is 1/20 of the production, but this is only the land tax, and in addition to this there is the ding tax, which is the so-called poll tax, and in addition to this, there is also conscription, and military service.

Although this land tax is said to be 5, this 5 is quantitative, and the weight of grain handed over every year is the same, but the yield is not stable, especially in ancient times, a slight change in the weather will cause a decrease in grain production, so many times they have to pay more taxes.

Therefore, it seems that Yingman and the imperial court want the same as 5, but the uncertain amount required by Yingman is actually very good for the peasants, and there is no need to worry about suddenly increasing taxes one day.

Just like there are farmers who have 200 acres of tax-free fields to be attached to, they will be relieved after Yingman says this, and they don't have to worry that Yingman will be like some people, originally just attached, but later the field became someone else's, and this is the method used by the reborn woman.

And many ancient land annexes are because of this reason, the land is annexed by the people who are attached to the rent-free, but fortunately, the tax exemption of this world's talent is only 5 acres, otherwise I am afraid that the land annexation will be very serious.

As for the things she taught the people in the village, it was the papermaking technique that Yingman had been thinking about before, after all, she also needed paper to print things, and the papermaking technique she gave was not only simple and cheap, but also made much better than the ones on the market, maybe not as good as some famous papers, but it was also the middle and upper class.
