(Some sensitive rooms will add a few symbols, I'm really sorry)

.

As soon as the morning dawned, Chen Fei found Sun Qiao: "Take me to see how many silver dollars are left in the warehouse." ”

This is not in accordance with the regulations, the treasury - especially the treasury of the silver, that is a heavy land, even the head of a county has many restrictions on entering, in general, it is to sign and draw the pledge, change the clothes without bags, at least three people supervise each other, and come out to the tiger bench - if the silver is hidden, it will jingle when jumping over the tiger bench, and if it is stuffed in the chrysanthemum, unless the talent of the chrysanthemum is too deep, the hidden silver will also be exposed during the tiger bench, and finally the body will be searched.

Of course, Sun Qiao also understood in his heart that Chen Feigui was the son of the world, and this bit of silver was probably not as good as the money for a meal of wine, so he couldn't take care of it much, so he immediately took out the key that he was carrying and came to the warehouse.

For the first time, Chen Fei saw a house made of huge stones, two iron doors, and thick fine iron at the corners, and two seals were crossed on the doors, on which the time when the door was last closed.

"Mingfu, check the seal......" Sun Qiao's voice stopped abruptly in Chen Fei's action of tearing off the seal.

"Open the door."

Sun Qiao opened and took out the key with a sad face, a total of three, exactly the same, inserted into the three keyholes respectively, looked back at Chen Fei, the opening method of the lock is still a little exquisite, only the master Bo and the county can know, the meaning of his look back is naturally to let Chen Fei avoid it, but Chen Fei stared and waited, the old man sighed, knowing that he had to violate the rules again, pressed the middle one into the keyhole, and at the same time opened the door with the two on the side, and the turbid air came to his face, The old man thought to himself that the number of violations he had in the past two days had caught up with his entire career......

"Ming Mansion, wait first," Sun Qiao saw that Chen Fei was about to enter, and grabbed Chen Fei again, "Every time the warehouse is sealed, an asphalt lamp will be lit inside, and it will be suffocated at this moment." ”

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then felt a chill in his heart, this method is very vicious! This so-called asphalt lamp is afraid that it is some kind of lamp that is not easy to extinguish, and it is naturally lit to deplete the air in the storehouse, if there is any thief, if he enters it without knowing it, he is afraid that he will suffocate directly in it, and if he waits for the air to enter and fill it, I am afraid that it will take a quarter of an hour, and then as long as the person who is not in charge of the storehouse is dead, how can he detect it.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Sun Qiao brought an oil lamp and leaned into the warehouse first, and only entered after seeing that the oil lamp was not extinguished.

Chen Fei knows this method, and some cellars in the north will use this method, which is very simple: if the oil lamp is not extinguished, it proves that there is oxygen in it. This is also the reason for robbing the tomb and putting a lamp, and the so-called ghost blowing the lamp is also the same reason, and the natural lamp will be extinguished if there is no oxygen inside, so of course you can't enter at this time.

Sun Qiao entered the warehouse with Chen Fei with the lamp, not as tall as Chen Fei thought, this is a narrow room more than two meters wide and eight meters long, with two shelves on both sides of the wall, and a box that has been sealed with paper seals.

"Each of the small boxes was ten silver dollars, the middle box was a hundred silver dollars, and the large box could hold a thousand silver dollars, but they were all empty."

"Isn't there 1,800 silver dollars in the treasury? Can't fit a box? Chen Fei was puzzled, opened a small box casually, and was stunned, and immediately understood why the big box was empty.

At the beginning, Datang used silver ingots, which is the kind commonly seen on TV, but later because of inconvenience, all the gold and silver were cast into the shape of coins, one gold dollar is equal to one hundred silver dollars, and one silver dollar is equal to one hundred copper dollars.

And at this moment, this small box is full of old copper dollars, ten strings, one hundred in each string, these copper coins are very old, some still have soil, and some can even see blackened bloodstains.

Chen Fei's heart trembled slightly, looking at these copper coins, he only felt sour in his nose, just at this glance, he seemed to have seen the desperation of collecting taxes, and the little money that the farmers had worked so hard to save was forcibly requisitioned here.

Although Wotou Village is poor, Chen Fei had already abolished the agricultural tax when he arrived in Wotou Village, and many people in the Republic did not even know about it, but this was the first time in the 5,000-year history of the Republic that the agricultural tax had been abolished! Chen Fei also listened to those old people to know how great it was to abolish the agricultural tax.

At this moment, Chen Fei's heart is blocked, how can there be any tax in Wotou Village? Only all kinds of money and material resources to help the poor came down continuously, and the peasants built new houses and raised Ximenda (@) cattle and Baidu (@) sheep......

And the peasants here are still burdened with heavy taxes per person.

Chen Fei's hand was shaking when he opened the middle box, and it was full of copper coins, and there was only one silver dollar. It is equivalent to a box containing 10,000 yuan and only one hundred yuan in it, and the others are all one-dollar bills.

There were notches, some stained with soil, some rusty, and some with blackened blood.

Chen Fei picked up a string of copper coins, heavy, and even heavier, the mood.

After looking at it in a daze for a few minutes, Chen Feicai said: "You said that adults will be levied 2 silver dollars each, children will be levied 1 silver yuan, how much income can a farmer have in a year?" ”

Sun Qiao was stunned and said softly: "In the past, there was an improvement when there was an iron mine, but now...... Only to sell grain. Looking at Chen Fei's back to him, "The transportation is inconvenient, and the merchant will keep the price low, and only give two copper coins per catty." ”

"And a farmer's annual grain harvest is only about 500 catties," Chen Fei slowly calculated: "According to two adults and one child, you have to pay 250 catties of grain and 5 silver dollars, just right, it is enough to sell all the grain," Chen Fei's heart was cold, "I am actually a little curious, how do the people here survive." ”

Sun Qiao was silent, how could he not know this? It's just that the Tang Dynasty relies on the army to exist in this world, and the army does not rely on the peasants, who does it rely on? He used to think so, and every year when he harvested grain was also the most difficult time for him, but after year after year, he was also numb. His heart is like that of a peasant who can't see tomorrow.

"When I first came, everyone I saw looked like walking corpses, like dead grass, and even the number one person like me didn't seem to care when he came to govern this county, I was originally wondering if it was because of the demonic beasts that were raging, but now I know why they are like this." Chen Fei still turned his back to Sun Qiao: "Sun Qiao, if a farmer's family can't harvest a grain of rice, how to deal with it?" ”

Sun Qiao was silent for a while before he said with difficulty: "One pound and one whip." One copper dollar and one whip. He looked at Chen Fei's back and said, "Your Highness, although my Hutou County is a little serious, it is the same for the entire Tang Dynasty." ”

"One pound and one whip, one copper yuan and one whip......" Chen Fei just muttered, and suddenly exhaled a long breath: "Have you ever killed someone?" ”

Sun Qiao was still silent for a while, and finally said: "A hundred whips go down, a strong man can't stand it, if it's a child, a few whips go down, it's ...... Just ......"

Sun Qiao couldn't go on, Chen Fei's hand trembled slightly, and the copper coin in his hand thought of colliding, and it sounded softly.
