Lu Qingrong felt distressed, this thing is fun, but he can't lose the wheat that others have worked so hard to plant!

"Let the three of them come up, don't go and ho the wheat, take them to the river over there to play."

"Yes, Miss."

After Lu Qingrong finished instructing the maid, he turned his head and found that Nie Jingyang also took a bunch of wheat and pricked it on his face, looking extremely naïve, "Lady, how many steamed buns can this wheat make?" ”

"This is a stump, I don't know, but there are thousands of acres of wheat fields in the whole Zhuangzi, excluding those for tenants, the harvest in one year is enough for the people in the house to eat for two years."

The Xuanguo Mansion is a generous and benevolent family, and there are many wheat fields in the suburbs of Beijing, most of which are the fields of officials' families and royal relatives and nobles.

These fields are contracted to the surrounding tenants to plant, and when the harvest comes, the owner takes three or four percent of it, and the rest is regarded as a commission for those tenants.

The better ones only receive three percent, those who are mean only receive four or five percent, but the Xuanguo Mansion only receives two percent, and special rewards will be given every New Year.

The surrounding tenants were willing to farm land for the Xuanguo Mansion.

People like Xuanguo Mansion are like Guanyin Bodhisattva in the eyes of those tenants.

This harvest of wheat is enough to feed two people.

Nie Jingyang looked at Maizi with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lady, do you know that outside the capital, the people's mothers farm for the rich, and in the end, they can only harvest three or four percent of the wheat a year, and most of it goes into the pocket of the master's family."

"That's why the people of the Dayu Dynasty are living more and more poorly, three or four percent of the wheat is not enough to feed a family, and how many people are starved to death every year because they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing."

This is strange, how could Young Master Nie Jingyang on weekdays suddenly care about the lives of the people.

Could it be that after resigning, my heart is not as tough as before, and I have become an emotional person.

"This is the case now, but when the national treasury is abundant, local taxes will be sharply reduced, and the people will not be as miserable as they are now."

Nie Jingyang suddenly clenched the wheat, which was edged.

Lu Qingrong's eyes were stunned, not that he felt sorry for his hands, Nie Jingyang's hands, because of the perennial nest weapons, the calluses on his hands were very thick, and this bit of wheat was nothing to him.

Not even a small wound remains, she is just worried about Maizi.

"What the hell are you thinking? Didn't you come here today? ”

Nie Jingyang smiled slightly, let go of his hand, and put the wheat in the sack on the side.

turned around and took two steps to Lu Qingrongde's side, "What the lady said is that we are here to play today, I don't know what the lady wants to play?" ”

was so attentive, Lu Qingrong was a little uncomfortable, "Just by the way, I don't have anything I want to play, so why do you look preoccupied, two days ago, no, to be precise, it was fine before you came, why did you just look at the wheat and become like this, and I was also concerned about the country's livelihood affairs." ”

Nie Jingyang took Lu Qingrong's hand, and the two walked in the fields, which had a unique taste.

"I was just thinking about a question, if the treasury is really abundant, will the emperor reduce taxes? Will the people really be better off when the time comes? Could it be that in the end, the money went into the pockets of those rich officials, and the life of the people was still miserable. ”

Lu Qingrong didn't know how to answer for a while.

She really hadn't thought about it before.

Although she proposed to the emperor that strategy for governing the country, those were just some ideas in her heart, and the specific ones were added by Nie Jingyang, not to mention that managing a country is not managing a shop and a Zhuangzi.

It requires the coordination of officials from various ministries and the cooperation of local officials, and it is very complicated to interlock.

In fact, if you look at it this way, it is not so easy to be an emperor and an official.

"So you are worried now, if the treasury is really rich, it will have no impact on the people, the taxes will not be reduced, and the lives of the people are still miserable, but they will fill the pockets of those rich people, maybe because of this, they will become more and more difficult for those ordinary people?"

Nie Jingyang didn't answer, but the meaning in his eyes had already answered Lu Qingrong.

That's exactly what he thought.

And it's not just a concern, it's likely to become a reality.

Now that the southern levee has been built and the flood has passed, the people in the vicinity of the levee will not lose their homes because of the flood.

All that's waiting for them is to live in peace.

However, they suffered from running and wandering in the past few years, and now they have finally settled down, and they have to start paying taxes before they can take a breath, and the taxes of the Dayu Dynasty have always been not low, which also makes the people miserable.

After the dam was built, merchant ships were opened, and the rich people of the south were fattened with oil.

The trade between the Beidi and the Dayu Dynasty was opened, although it seemed to be a policy to establish the country, but in the end it was not those merchants who were abundant.

These merchants earned, and the more taxes they paid to the imperial court, the more.

And the imperial court's need for these people is becoming more and more serious, and when that time comes, I am afraid that there will be no way for the common people to live.

Most businessmen value profits, so who cares about the lives of ordinary people?

Lu Qingrong didn't like Nie Jingyang's frowning appearance, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Finally Ann was born, and now she is born, she really doesn't want anything to happen again.

I don't know if it's because of having a child, Lu Qingrong's heart has become soft.

In the past, she was bent on finding out who it was, killing her parents and master, and even wanted to find out the traitors in the court with her own strength and help the Dayu Dynasty eliminate the traitors.

But now that there are so many things to do, she feels that as long as the family can be together well, she doesn't ask for anything.

What does the traitors of the Dayu Dynasty have to do with them, whether it is the subversion of the regime or the outbreak of war, it is all the fault of the superiors, and no one will blame them.

Thinking about it, Lu Qingrong reached a dead end, the more she thought about it, the more bizarre it became, and when she reacted, she was a little surprised, she would think like that.

"These are not things we can decide, now as long as the Xuanguo Mansion is good and lives a life of idle clouds and wild cranes at home, it is the best arrangement. As for the rest, you and I can't do it. ”

That's right.

Nie Jingyang laughed at himself, he has resigned now, and the emperor still hasn't relaxed his vigilance against him.

What could he do about it, even though he was worried?
