The Wanqin Empire incorporated peasants into household registration as the basis for levying taxes and forced labor. The peasants are the main recipients of state taxes, and there are four types of taxes for the peasants: land rent (land tax), reckoning and mouth taxes (poll tax), conscription, and military service.

During the Tianchang Empire, at that time, in order to maintain the daily formation and research of a large number of summoner armies, as well as the extravagant life of Emperor Wu Long Aotian, he built a large number of buildings, etc., but there was a saying that "half of Thailand is endowed"! Half of Thailand, two-thirds of it! Just imagine, a common man lives a miserable life, but at the end of the year, two-thirds of his harvest is forcibly requisitioned, how can this live?

The key problem is not like this, if it is calculated according to the harvest, but the Tianchang Empire at that time did not care about the geometry of your harvest, only calculated according to the field, even if there was a flood and drought, how much you should pay or how much you will get. It has also caused a thousand miles of red land, a magnificent scene of anger and resentment, and it is reasonable that the Tianchang Empire was overthrown early.

The early rulers of the Wanqin Empire learned the lessons of the fall of the Tianchang Empire, lightly imposed a thin tax, and implemented the system of ten taxes and one system, which greatly eased the burden of the people and vigorously cultivated and recuperated, so as to continue the prosperity of the empire.

However, as the empire became more corrupt, many local officials invented a variety of tax collections.

For example, the people pay taxes in kind, such as grain, silk fabrics, etc., but sometimes they will change to silver coins and copper coins, or some merchants pay taxes according to gold, silver, and copper coins. The gold, silver, and copper coins collected need to be re-forged according to the judgment of the officials, and there may be wear and tear during the forging, and the government will use this name to collect excess money, and these excess taxes are called fire consumption. In fact, whether it needs to be re-forged or not, and whether there is loss or not, only the government itself knows.

Another "drenching tip kicking" is to draw a key point, so the "drenching tip kicking" is that when the people pay the grain, the government is using the hu to load, the people will be ready to pay taxes of the grain poured into the hu, and then weighed, calculate their own share of the grain.

The heaps of grain were to be packed in the shape of pointed heaps, and some of them would go beyond the walls, and this could be a reflection of the ingenuity of the local officials of the empire, when the people trembled and walked on thin ice to think that after paying the grain tax, the unexpected accidents of the officials occurred.

The officials will kick Hu with lightning speed, and some of the grains beyond the wall will fall to the ground.

This is the kicking of the tip, and the part kicked out is the so-called loss in grain transportation, and this part becomes the legitimate income of officials.

So if the people panic to pick it up, the officials will be scolded at this time, and they will be beaten at worst.

People in vulnerable situations have no choice but to return home and bring food.

I heard that the officials in charge of kicking Hu have all reached the level of median warriors, and some of the more "kind" kicking officials will kick the whole beyond the wall with a kick at will; some ordinary officials will add some afterimages, and this foot will be followed by three or four afterimage attacks, although the attack power of these afterimages is weaker than one blow, but it will still splash out a small part of the Hu.

The above is something that the people can grit their teeth and swallow their anger and reluctantly accept. But the next one is not authentic, some of the more perverted kicking officials will make the real power out, in the lightning time to steal the bell when the illusion of the warrior form, this foot is to the people's life, half of the grain in the Hu will be splashed out, more exaggerated is that there will be a foot-shaped hole in the lower part of the Hu, the grain will flow out along the hole has a break, of course, the people are still not allowed to pick up at this time, until the official "surprised" after the discovery, the hole "quickly" blocked is finished.

Don't think that it's over when you get here, whose fault is it that there is a hole in this Hu? Of course, it's the people's fault, the grain handed over to the empire is so harsh, and the Hu is damaged, so let's pay for it! The people who have no choice can only lose the grain and fold it, and it is impossible to resist, and they can't beat it, and if they scold it, they will be put on the name of insulting the court officials, and they will have to pay a fine, so they can only endure it.

With the emergence of a dazzling array of "names" for tax collection, in fact, the taxes paid by the people have reached the point of two out of ten, or even three out of ten, and in some places it has reached the terrifying four or five of the ten taxes. This trend was also a sign of the fall of the Empire.

"An Idler's Miscellaneous"

For a moment, Li Hongjun was relieved, how could the Emperor's Mansion have so many scruples about other people's thoughts?

At this moment, a louder roar came from the west side of everyone, and a shadow glowing with red light attacked everyone with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The fiery red dragon has been seen twice by everyone, and the knights on the dragon have seen it once.

"Your Excellency and the others are good Yaxing! The enemy who can fly over the camp city to confront each other has not appeared, but his own people have set a precedent!" Before the dragon arrived, the sound came first, and the knight's rough and powerful voice exploded in the sky not far away, like thunder.

Several people were pulled down by the Dragon Knight, of course, with the prestige of the Dragon Knight, the King of England and others will not be in their eyes, but the Dragon Knight is holding the waist card of the King of Virtue, the waist card is the symbol of the King of Virtue, and the person who sees the waist card is like the King of Virtue himself.

The soldiers around came over with a forced face, scattered with a forced face, you with a forced face and a forced look at him, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what I mean. Some people who are lost in their hearts thought that there would be a century war, but they didn't expect it to disperse like this, it is really the end of the song, but this kind of thought can only sigh in their hearts, if they say it, they can't eat and walk around.

"Bastard!" King Xian roared loudly in a room, fortunately King Xian didn't have a beard, otherwise with the big eyes he was glaring at now, it would have perfectly interpreted the true meaning of "blowing a beard and staring".

"You must thank the people of the empire for paying the public grain one by one!" King Xian's fingers swiped over the faces of the six great dragon knights one by one, and he really wanted to pick up the whip and whip it down, but thinking about the six dragon knights who broke through the earth today, he dispelled this thought.

As soon as King Xian finished speaking, except for Li Xiangfeng, the other five people were all confused, and their eyes drifted towards King Xian from time to time, only Li Xiangfeng lowered his head and looked at his toes.

"I don't know what it means, right?" King Xian simply sat down, looked up at Li Xiangfeng and said, "Li Xiangfeng!

"Only when the people pay taxes can they have food to eat, and only when they have food to eat will they be full to do this stupid thing!" In front of King Xian, Li Xiangfeng also felt a majesty from the superiors, and this majesty really didn't come from pretending.

"Whoever is full of food and support the trouble, you will be punished with the dragon!" King Xian finished speaking in a deep voice, and then said to a general standing on the side: "Junzheng, take these five people down, fight for five!

"Li Shangshu's daughter is spared!" King Xian then said.

Three days later, it was the date when these people would return to the Wanqin Empire, and King Xian's intention was obvious, and he wanted to keep these people until he returned.

With Jun Zheng's eyes, the two soldiers waiting at the door stepped forward, put on a posture of invitation with their right hands, and motioned for Li Xiangfeng and others to go out to be tortured, which is also because these five identities are not ordinary, if they are replaced by other people, the soldiers who enforce the law will not be so polite.

It's also strange to say, Li Xiangfeng boasted that his body was still relatively good, but after suffering these five battles, he also felt that his butt was about to crack, on the other hand, the king of Ying actually got up from the stool, patted his ass and left, and didn't want to give himself a meaningful look when he left.

And other people are more or less stronger than themselves, rubbing their buttocks and leaving, how dare they rub their buttocks, this rubbing is even more painful, as for patting their butts, they can only think about it.

When he was helped to a lonely room by Yu Yan, he learned from Yu Yan that the skills in the original torture were also great.

Those soldiers who are in charge of the military are also measured, of course, they dare not offend the prince of England, this is a matter related to their life and future, so don't look at the board they hit on the king's ass is loud and bright, but it doesn't hurt at all, at most it is the sound of hitting the clothes and skin.

As for Gao Shui, Qi Yunfei, and Yu Yan, they were only spanked normally, on the other hand, Li Xiangfeng was the main victim, and the law enforcement soldiers were obviously "commanded" by the British king, and the board on Li Xiangfeng's ass was not loud and extremely powerful!

It is said that those soldiers who make boards can break bones with a board without showing a wound on the outside, provided that the board is tough enough.

I also heard that this method of beating people requires hard training, specifically using a piece of tofu to put on the ground, and hitting it with a small board, only making a sound, not breaking. When the fight is finished, the tofu inside is all rotten, and the outside is still a whole square piece, not moving at all, this party is the first master.

The other is to smash the outer layer to pieces, the sound is loud, but the inside does not hurt a single point, this is not a skill that can be mastered in a day or two.

Li Xiangfeng, who heard the anecdote, was stunned for a moment, and repeatedly said that he would still be grounded with peace of mind in the future, and would never provoke those noble and small-bellied people.

On January 25, 293 in the continental calendar, the Fenglong team that had rested for a few days was ready to leave for home, of course, due to various reasons, Li Xiangfeng and others were grounded for a longer time, during which Li Xiangfeng was also visited by the British king, as if he came to laugh at Li Xiangfeng, and sent some food.

According to Li Xiangfeng's wisdom, of course, he would not think that the king of England would put some poison in his food, this is common sense.

Who would have thought that the King of England really put "poison" in the food, but it was not a poison that killed people, but a laxative, which almost pulled Li Xiangfeng to dehydration, and Li Xiangfeng once again experienced the means of the King of England to be perverted to boring.

Six ships are ready to set off on the coast in front of the dragon training field, one for manning, two for escort, and three for the dragon to roost.

That's right, dragons also need to take boats, and there are no islands between the entire dark ocean and the Central Asian continent, and there is no wind, and the dragon cannot fly over the entire dark ocean alone.

The Metropolitan Governor Nanmen Junxian led the senior generals of the Dragoon Legion to see him off, Li Xiangfeng also saw the accompanying Wang Zi'an, and his impression of this person Li Xiangfeng is still good, at present, his in-depth understanding of the "Mountain Cracking Axe" is to a large extent what Wang Zi'an told him that night, and now Li Xiangfeng is like an arrow, the first is because of Qin Tianxin.

The second is that Li Xiangfeng now feels that he finally has some capital, going to the middle capital, looking for the Longyou mercenary group, and fighting Pi Jianyuan!

Three years, four years? Li Xiangfeng shook his head, it was too far! He still had a lot of time to do, but he didn't have the time to think about it.
