Jiang Yunrui's question got to the point.

The Tian family endlessly delivered grain to the poor people of the entire Qi country, all of which were lent out by big buckets of rice, and small buckets of rice were returned, and one borrowed and one was repaid, with a net loss of half of the grain.

Coupled with the loss of grain transportation, it is estimated that ten buckets of rice can be used, and seven buckets of rice will be lent out, and three and a half buckets will be returned - in fact, it can be seen that the Tian family will lose six and a half buckets for every ten buckets of rice.

Zhao Xuexu and Lin Nan thought about it, and felt that the answer was in the constantly increasing field tax.

The Tian family used the method of increasing the land tax to grasp the vast majority of the grain of the people in the world in their own hands, and then in turn, used this grain to buy the hearts of the people.

For the vast majority of the people, it is useless to talk about the righteousness of other countries.

They only knew that Emperor Dujun took away their grain, and the Tian family gave them food, saving their family's life.

"It seems that most of the land taxes in Qi are in the hands of the Tian family."

Jiang Yunrui said: "Only in this way can they continue to consume food to buy people's hearts." ”

"The collection of land tax in this way will first consume the national strength of the Qi country. and distributed the grain to the Tian family shops all over the country, which was actually equivalent to a futile effort, only reaping the good reputation of the Tian family, and then depleting the national strength of the Qi country. ”

"The Tian family's behavior is not only harmful to the royal family, but even the entire Qi country is also poor and weak."

"Even, if the Tian family does this, it will definitely lose a lot of money, and the land tax obtained must be at least ninety percent in order to barely cope with the hungry people in the world......"

Lan Wangji shook his head: "No, the Tian family doesn't have much loss, but is constantly getting stronger. ”

"It can't be." Jiang Yunrui asserted directly.

Grain storage, storage, and transshipment are extremely lossy.

If 10 percent of the grain is levied, after storage and transshipment, only 7 or 8 percent remain.

And the Tian family redistributed this grain to the poor, and only 50% of the 10% of the grain was useful in the end.

Coupled with the wear and tear of the Tian family's own shops......

Jiang Yunrui believes that it should not be wrong for her to judge that ninety percent of the Tian tax is spent on this kind of thing to win the reputation of the Tian family, and to waste national strength.

Lan Wangji sighed: "Please look at the truth of the memory I have discovered." ”

[In the dim light, in another Tianjia shop.

The shopkeeper of the Tian family's shop respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to a person: "Fifth brother is fine." ”

The man was thin, with broom eyebrows, holding a teacup, and holding a tall man: "Do it well, we are all brothers." ”

"You will be able to do the same in the future, and get my current position."

"Yes, Fifth Brother." After kowtowing again, the shopkeeper stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Is there enough food?" The "fifth brother" said.

"Fifth brother, it's not enough, there are too many poor ghosts......" the shopkeeper reported.

"Fifth Brother" smiled: "There are too many poor ghosts, so we can only kill a batch, and we can't really let our Tian family lose money, right?" ”

"I'm here, tell the disciples of the Blood Drinking Sect that you can have some fun." 】

There was silence in the room.

Jiang Yunrui's eyes slowly filled with tears, and Zhao Xuecao gritted her teeth.

Lin Nan also felt his mind shocked.

This is how evil a man is!

Lan Wangji let go of the Manifestation Stone, lay back with his eyes closed, and said slowly, "I heard them say the names of several villages, and I heard them say how to contact the Blood Drink Gate. ”

"When the disciples of the Blood Drinking Sect come, I'll be sure again."

"The Tian family and the Yin Yang Sect of the three sects of the Demon Dao, the Invitation God Sect, and the Blood Drinking Sect have joined forces, and it is not once or twice that they have done this kind of thing. Moreover, the Tian family is very cautious, and they often call themselves the second prince or someone from the royal family of the Qi State to the middle and lower level disciples of the Demon Dao Sect. ”

"The real high-level of the Demon Dao Sect knew that their collaborator was not the Qi royal family at all, but the Tian family."

"When there are too many poor people and the Tian family thinks that they will lose money, they will kill a group of poor people to relieve the pressure of borrowing rice; Sometimes they will kill the local rich or rich people, replenish their food, and continue to be a good person. ”

"All in all, the Tian family will never lose money, they will never lose a lot, they are getting stronger all the time."

It's a huge, well-thought-out, multi-year conspiracy.

If you only look at the surface, there is no doubt that the Tian family is absolutely virtuous, sage, perfect and flawless.

Zhao Xuexu asked softly, "What can I do to change this situation?" ”

Lin Nan frowned and pondered.

Lan Wangji didn't say anything—he wasn't good at these things that were calculated and calculated.

Only Jiang Yunrui slowly wiped away the tears in her eyes, and her face turned pale.

Against the backdrop of red hair, it is like white paper and snow.

"Now, it's too late, right?"

"Late?" Zhao Xuecao was surprised, "What's late?" ”

"The Tian family has been dormant for nearly a hundred years, when has it ever been disrespectful to the royal family? When did you ever do it to royalty? Jiang Yunrui said, "Before me, there has never been." ”

"From the beginning of doing it to me, the Tian family has already made a comprehensive plan."

"They're going to get on the move, and they're officially taking the throne!"

"The Tian family is far-sighted, and the whole thing is running and acting, and the killing machine is lurking. On the other hand, our royal family of Qi country...... I am outside the national capital, protected by Brother Lin Nan, and I am only barely able to protect myself. ”

"Father, brother, sister, they are estimated to be now-"

……

"Ministers, see the second prince!"

In the capital of Qi and the secret room of the Tian family, Tian Cheng, Tian He, Tian Zihuan and other people of the Tian family respectfully saw the second prince Jiang Yunpo.

Jiang Yunpo raised his eyes and looked, in addition to Tian Cheng, Tian He, Tian Zihuan and other seven or eight people who were more familiar to him, there were more than ten people he was not familiar with.

"Mrs. Tian, Prime Minister Tian Cheng...... These are all people from the Tian family, are they reliable? Won't leak the message I'm adding, right? Jiang Yunpo was a little uneasy.

"No, it won't." Tian He smiled, "These are my children, and none of them will betray the Tian family." ”

After Jiang Yunpo heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Mrs. Tian, these are your children?" ”

"Yes," Tian He said with a smile, "Wechen has sixty-five women and has fathered eighty-five biological sons; Twenty-three of these women were given by me to my men, and the children they gave birth to were also recognized by me as sons, and I now have more than a hundred and thirty sons. ”

Tian Cheng said: "Weichen is a little worse, only ninety-two sons, and he still needs to work hard." ”

"Now we have more than a thousand grandchildren, and that's not counting girls...... It's not easy to feed such a large family. Tian He continued.

Baizi? Chisun?

Jiang Yunpo swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, looking at the two thin old men with no eyebrows in front of him, he was really in awe.

"The two of you are really old and strong, such a big family, it must be not easy to run a family......"
