The old man smiled heartily and said: "According to the old man's opinion, Wang Buting has long coveted Song Ningning, but what he did was vague, and he faked Kunlun Xue to deal with Fang Feiyuan, so that Song Ningning could leave from Fang Feiyuan, so that people were not easy to notice." But this person hides from the world and hides it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, and he will eventually be beaten with chickens and eggs. The old man spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, and his voice also raised and said: "Since Kunming's death, Kunlun Xue's family has been ruined, and he lives on the streets all day long, making a living as a small base for buying and selling. On this day, someone from the government suddenly came to him, and as soon as they met, they gave him ten oceans and asked him how much land the Fang family had. Kunlun Xue told her about the situation in detail, and then Kunlun Xue knew that the governor of the county government was now a different person, and he was a blue sky who could make decisions for the people. Hey! Qingtian, stupid! Stupidity! The old man said, taking a sip: "Phew! Blue sky. Bah! The people who look forward to the blue sky! The most contemptible thing is these two words, which deceive endless passers-by. Kunlun Xue is just a mortal, where can he understand the ingenuity, and he thought that he had met Lord Qingtian, who had only come out in three hundred years, so under the recommendation of this person, he went to the county government to find an errand, and specially followed Wang Buting, and tried his best to investigate the concealment of the land in Shenzhou. ”

"Oh! It seems that Kunlun Xue was used by Wang Buting. Li Keding said,

"Old man, when I came to Shenzhou this time, I was about to learn about the land concealment, so that I could deal with it in advance. Now that concealment has become a custom, Ling Zai is very confused, can the old gentleman give advice, where is the root of this concealment? The old man picked up the torn towel again, wiped his bare head back and forth, and said pleasantly: "Comfortable."

Then he replied to Li Keding: "It has been a practice for thousands of years to conceal land, and the big families of all dynasties will try their best to underreport their land to the government in order to save a lot of land endowments." This is also the main reason why in the later period of each dynasty, most of the land was concentrated in the hands of the powerful and powerful, and the land endowment of the imperial court was decreasing day by day, which led to the financial constraints of the imperial court and frequent tax increases. Until the tax is increased to a certain extent, those poor people who pay the land according to the truth cannot cover the taxes with the income from farming, and they have no land as if they have no land, so they have to sell their land at a low price to large households, so that the land becomes more and more concentrated. However, the big families tried every means to hide more land, and the imperial court paid less and less taxes, so they were forced to increase taxes continuously, thus entering a vicious circle, and finally forcing the poor to sell their land and become displaced people, and the number exceeded a certain limit, and they could no longer be controlled, and the dynasty began to disintegrate until it collapsed. However, the Republic of China was a special case, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's legacy of never raising taxes was used until the end, so the Manchus did not die on the exiles, but on the gravedigging of the New Army. Without the great reshuffle of the war, the Republic of China peacefully took over the Qing regime, and various policies followed, and the land was not remeasured and distributed, so the concealment of land by large households was no worse than that at the end of the Qing Dynasty. ”
