504 Tax resistance

Zhao Mingyi took the blade to completely dismember the torso of the big bird, and the upper body was stained with blood, and next to the ground, one by one the feathers were stacked with steam, and the bones were pulled out one by one, and the two eyeballs of the bird were finely dug out by the blade, and even some blood vessels were delicately revealed. Zhao Mingyi dealt with this giant beast with an attitude of dissection, and when Zhao Mingyi did this thing with half of his body in blood, the people around him were faintly afraid. I don't know if I'm afraid of the resurrection of the dead demon beast, or if I'm afraid of Zhao Mingyi.

In short, Zhao Mingyi was disappointed. This demon punishment seems to be just a hero in Greek mythology killing monsters, and the gap between himself and these people who think they are mortals has not been broken, or perhaps it can't be broken in the first place. The great difference in physical qualities separates the communication between the thinking and the thinking in the material world.

After Zhao Mingyi classified all the meat, he recorded it in his notebook and drew a hook on a map, indicating that there were no demon beasts in the area where the eagle was active. This bird is the supreme ruler of the food chain in the region. At this stage, Zhao Mingyi has begun to think about his impact on the biological chain.

Because Zhao Mingyi found that there was an imbalance between himself and the demon beasts of this world.

Because the demon beast has no resistance to himself, Zhao Mingyi still doesn't know what the humanoid demon recorded in the classics looks like, but at present, the demon beasts are still beasts, and they are too lazy to use their brains. It can't be said that they have no brains, their brain capacity and mental intelligence are no less than those of humans, and they occasionally use a little trickery. But most of the time when I was full, I was too lazy to sleep in the cave.

Zhao Mingyi, on the other hand, observes the world all the time, thinks about and summarizes the places he observes, locks on the predation target, and prepares for a month in order to make a plan. A month of preparation, a month of planning, and a month of preparation are naturally able to crush the demon beast that has been sleeping for a month.

Originally, he was superior to demon beasts in intelligence and tools, but now Zhao Mingyi has also undergone amazing changes in physique.

And Zhao Mingyi is now changing at a terrifying speed. Because Zhao Mingyi found that the recent food intake, the consumption in the last few months has increased almost exponentially. Organic matter is quickly retained in all parts of your body as if it is compressed. Then quickly disappeared into the body, Zhao Mingyi felt that the body was connected to the dark matter part, and the matter was converted to a superimposed speed, Zhao Mingyi felt that this was no longer like digestion, but directly erased the mass of organic matter.

Zhao Ming commented on the scene of Dabi in the door. He knows the situation of the outstanding disciples in the sect very well, and if he compares those disciples in the door as a reference, Zhao Mingyi can use weakness to describe these senior brothers. Of course, you can also give the word weak to your own elders. Now the only possible danger that Zhao Mingyi has to worry about is being beaten by the world. After completely dismantling the eagle, Zhao Mingyi beckoned the carriage back and began to decide the next plan, rather than being beaten by the world, it is better to tear apart the society before being beaten again.

After returning to the village, Zhao Mingyi learned a piece of news. I'm going to be taxed. Well, in general, mountain villages are not taxed. But this time, the county bigwigs were very satisfied with the crops in the area. At the same time, taking into account the reason why the mountain villagers were angry and unwilling to accept the indoctrination, they were ready to bring the army over to collect taxes.

Although the families in the capital are full of benevolence and politics, Zhao Mingyi understands that the so-called benevolence is a very low standard for the scholars and doctors who do "herdsmanship". That is, to give most of the people in the plains the strength to reproduce and cultivate farmland. Other than that, the peasants should not think of any other surplus grain. If you have surplus food, you will have other ideas, and you will become a poor person engaged in industry and commerce.

As for Diao Min's surplus grain, most of it was eaten by the scholars, and after eating this part. It will be left to the imperial power. Of course, the scholars and the imperial power will become bigger with time, and the two sides will quarrel, and this time the national teachers of the imperial capital can make trouble, which is actually the struggle between the imperial power and the imperial power.

Scholars often hold on to imperial power at the same time, but also to industry and commerce. The most important key to the transformation of feudalism into capitalism was not the volume of commercial trade. Rather, it depends on whether the population fed by industry and commerce accounts for the majority, and whether a group of interests has been formed. The ease with which Europe switched to capitalism was due to the rise of the petty burgher class engaged in industry and commerce.

The reason why the Confucian rulers were the last of the merchants, was that they suppressed not the big merchants, and their own servants and slaves were engaged in what the big merchants of that era did.

He suppressed the possibility of the merchant but the peasant to engage in commercial activities, and when the peasants had surplus grain in their hands, (in order not to spoil the grain in their hands), then they naturally engaged in commercial activities. This is the petty burgher class. A large number of people began to engage in industrial and commercial life, a large number of people were tied to the chain of interests, the idea of mutual cooperation for industry and commerce was rampant, and the rise of the petty burgher class had an impact on the structure of human society.

In the late Ming Dynasty, commercial wealth increased, and from the perspective of the total population bound by industry and commerce, it did not have a decisive impact on the old society, and such a germ of capitalism was actually very weak.

These villages in the mountains where Zhao Mingyi is entrenched can be regarded as the population is bound to industry and commerce. A lot of people are staring at the factory to start wages, staring at the factory. It's not about staring at the farmland. This is the germ of capitalism. In terms of living habits and production habits, a group of special people have emerged independently.

In normal times, the grain production was very low, and there were monsters infested, in the slave period, the slave owners could only rely on the slaves to obtain profits, and let the Confucian scholars to govern, is to impose kindness in the disaster year, and collect taxes as much as possible in the good year, in the name of enriching the treasury.

This is the biggest difference between the government of the small-scale peasant economy and the government of the industrial economy, the government of the small-scale peasant economy focuses on money and grain, and waits for the small peasants to send officials to transport the grain from the fields to the official treasury as soon as they produce it.

And the government of the industrial economy controls every aspect of everyone's consumption by controlling the currency, and for them, as long as the market is controlled. The managers of the industrial age do not need the Confucians to "observe the people's feelings" and observe the amount of surplus grain in the people's homes to formulate a collection policy, as long as the people participate in production, participate in consumption, and sell and consume and buy, they will inevitably pay taxes to the ruling government.

Zhao Mingyi is obviously the latter, through the fixed food stamps, he controlled grain consumption, let go of pots and pans, and the consumption of industrial products. Recently, I am also studying how to produce iron, vitamin formula formula accurate ratio of mixed Dan, to stimulate everyone to further increase the production for consumption (the ratio of metal and organic matter is Li Er's experiment, most people are obviously not as talented as Li Er's fast absorption, but the absorption is slow, and it can also be absorbed. )

So when I heard that some people in this world wanted to run over and scrape a layer of oil on their own land according to the feudal system. Zhao Mingyi's reaction was hostile.

Zhao Mingyi: "You don't buy industrial products, and you still want to draw grain directly from my territory?" Lao Tzu didn't bombard your door with a cannon, you came to the door. ”

Zhao Mingyi is careful about food. Because there is too little manpower. In order to be able to mobilize sufficient manpower. Zhao Mingyi did not even form an army in the traditional sense, because the army consumed too much manpower, and one young man completed training, and at this level of productivity, three young and middle-aged people were needed to provide material supplies for him. If the army conducts live-fire training, the consumption is higher. At present, this small social cluster cannot be waved at all, and Zhao Mingyi has now brought women into the workshop for the sake of manpower. Attempts are also being made to replace animal power with steam engines.

At present, Castle Peak Industrial Zone (Workshop Zone) produces 45 tons of steel per month. Steel was laid on a steel track that connected four villages. The latest chemical reactor is already capable of producing 40 kilograms of nitric acid per day. This productivity is able to form a battalion (three hundred people) army. The absence of these 300 troops does not mean that there is no destructive force here. Zhao Mingyi himself is the strongest investment force. Zhao Mingyi came to the factory and gave a little order, and the workers in the factory were immediately excited.

Then a manual production line was changed, and some weapons exclusive to Zhao Mingyi were made, iron-cast grenades, which were made in batches, three meters long and weighing thirty kilograms, and special firearms were also made, which should be considered a cannon on the earth. Only Zhao Mingyi can carry it as a rifle. The amount of munitions produced could not support the firing of an army, but it was enough for Zhao Mingyi. really wants to tear his face, Zhao Mingyi has already made plans to carry these guns on his back, and be a few months old, holding guns against the princes and lords in Kyoto, and the emperors and princes are named one by one. As for the sword, in Zhao Mingyi's heart, the sword is for killing, and the sword is invisible. The "sword" represents a violent solution to the problem, which is the means that must be used when one's goal cannot be achieved.

While preparing for war with one hand, Zhao Mingyi was collecting intelligence with the other. As more information returned, Zhao Mingyi learned more about the collection of troops, whose troops had been transferred back from the north. Called two hundred men from the Skeleton Battalion, all of whom had fought in the north and had seen blood.

And these soldiers are dispatched, not just to collect taxes, to harm women, smash a few times, and even kill two Diao people, to vent, the general in the army agreed to the request of the county officials, and obviously there is a reason to indulge the soldiers in their hands. Because the soldiers of the feudal army have been under the pressure of compulsory control for a long time, if they are not indulged, there will be a roar.

Such news made Zhao Ming smile angrily: "Dare to feel that this place has become a dung pit to solve the problem, on the one hand, to solve the problem of the pressure of the soldiers, and on the other hand, to collect a tax, both are correct." ”

In the end, Zhao Mingyi checked the situation in his village and understood the reason. Because in the past few years, the dignitaries and nobles in the city dislike the Diao people in the mountains for not having oil and water, but they don't come to collect money.

And now the people in the high hall obviously think so, "Scrape a lot this year, don't care about it here in the future, let it recuperate for a few years, and when it is worth scraping oil, then scrape." "It seems that Zhao Mingyi made the oil and water here look sufficient, so he attracted them.

Seven days later, Zhao Mingyi stood on a small mound, looked at the chaotic queue of feudal miscellaneous soldiers in the distance, and said with a little distress: "The team of three hundred people is not enough for me to smash, but if I smash you, it will be very troublesome in the future." Especially my identity! I'm still a famous and decent disciple! ”
