It was another day of rest, and the people of Zhuo County, Youzhou, subconsciously rushed to the county government to announce the wall, and rushed to the gates of each city, while the people in the countryside went to Daji.

In the past, the bazaar was the first and fifteenth day of the new year, since there was a school in Youzhou, and after the school shouldered the task of transmitting the imperial decree, the bazaar in Youzhou was slowly changed to once every ten years, and each time it was the first day of the students' rest.

This was not requested by the yamen, but by the people spontaneously.

In the past, they didn't think that these imperial decrees had much to do with them, but every time the imperial court had a series of policies such as relief, service, and tax exemption, they would let students go to Daji to read, which was more detailed than what they knew from the elders of the village in Lichang, so they couldn't help but go to Daji to listen to it.

Since they have all gone to the big set, how can they not go and exchange for some urgently needed things and come back?

Therefore, every time the big market is very lively, even if the farm is busy recently, they will still take half a day out to rush to the big market on this day.

Of the four students who came on duty this time, two were sixteen or seventeen years old, both of whom had studied for several years, and two eleven or twelve-year-old boys, who had just entered the school for half a year and knew few words, so they came to maintain order and do chores.

The two biggest ones are that they have already read books for a few years, and after reading for another year, they can become school teachers after learning new books such as "New Arithmetic", of course, if they don't want to be teachers, they can also go to the Yamen Junior Examination, or go to participate in the recruitment examination.

However, with their current knowledge, they will definitely not be able to participate in the recruitment examination, and the little officials of the yamen might as well be teachers in the school.

The teacher's monthly salary is much higher than that of the yamen officials.

“…… The price of official salt is unified throughout the country, and the price of official salt this month is 800 wen and 1 stone, 7 wen and 1 catty, and only the salt shops in the yamen and the designated grocery stores can be purchased, and the imperial court strictly decrees that official salt shall not be hoarded, and all salt sold abroad shall be punished as hoarding and illegal salt......

The buzzing sound of discussion lingered in the ears, and it was people's irrepressible joy, "That half a catty of salt is enough for my family to eat for half a year." ”

"It's not enough, how much can half a catty of salt have?"

"It's okay to save some."

The student pricked up his ears and listened for a while, turned the newspaper over, and continued to say loudly: "The general order, Youzhou last year natural and man-made disasters were frequent, and the people were hard, so this year, Youzhou is exempt from adjustment, mouth endowment, land rent is halved, and the rest of the fishing and hunting, animal husbandry, textile, medicine and witchcraft, and trading, in addition to its capital, count its benefits, and one of the ten taxes, there must be no mistake." ”

When it came to paying taxes, the people who came to listen to the government immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, what do you mean?" ”

The student said loudly: "The general has exempted Youzhou from the reconciliation payment, and this year the land rent will be halved, and the handicraftsmen, such as medical workers, animal husbandry, textiles, and traders, will divide the income into ten parts, one of which will be tributed, except for the cost. ”

Many people had only dealt with Tian before, so they didn't understand the previous policy, so they couldn't help but ask, "Is that more or less?" ”

"Less."

When they heard this, they rejoiced and asked, "If the farmer is idle, I will take the time to tend the fields or build houses for others, and the money I earn will be taxed?" ”

I wanted it before, and as soon as Dajin was short of money, he could find out what the name was, carry the bag for others, and earn ten cents a day, so he had to hand over the three cents to the imperial court.

As long as people go out of the village to find a job, whether they can find it or not, they have to pay an official road loss fee, even if they take the trail, one year, Wang Jun also asked people to set up cards on the road, and everyone who walked by had to pay a penny of fees, the reason is that they went out of the village, and it was convenient to stink nature outside, so they had to pay this money.

Even if someone holds back and says they didn't pull it, it's useless.

The student is also a native of Youzhou, and he has also been levied on these messy fees, and he clicked on the report: "The general said, in addition to the taxes stipulated by the imperial court, all the other miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled, and the county has no right to donate privately. ”

When the people heard this, they couldn't help but cheer.

The whole market was filled with cheers, and when the people returned to the village, the news spread throughout the countryside.

The woman who was sitting by the fire and twisting the thread vigorously heard that because of the overuse of her eyes, tears fell as soon as she raised her head, "Great, great, this year's silk cloth and cotton can be left for you to make clothes." ”

The man stepped forward and put aside the thread in her hand and said, "Since the court has been exempted from the adjustment, then don't be in a hurry to do it, wait until the light is good during the day, you have to take care of your eyes." ”

"I'm not tired, I made a few more clothes for the children this year, I really broke them last year."

Yanzhou, which has been killed, and Yongzhou, which has been suffering from food shortage, have the same treatment as Youzhou, while Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Gwangju and other places are halved, exempted from oral tax, and the land rent is halved.

The decrees of the imperial court were sent to the states, and except for some officials who were worried about local finances, the rest of the people were happy with the people, and the whole country was happy.

In the midst of this joy, Luoyang and the places to the south ushered in the summer harvest.

During the summer holidays, the students went home, brandished their sickles and rushed to the fields with their families to harvest wheat.

Xuzhou and Yangzhou are separated by a water, and they are harvesting wheat in the field, and the jubilation here spreads to that side, and the people over there can't help but talk.

As a result, the people on this side of the river also knew that there was a waiver of taxes and a lot of taxes, and they were immediately envious.

Little by little, the news spread to Jiangdong and Jiangnan, and the people in both places were envious.

In the past year, they did not experience war like the north, but the life of ordinary people was not easy, especially in the area of Poyang Lake, because the displaced people from Shu came in, and Wang Dun fought against the northbound faction several times.

In addition, a large number of scholars and civilians migrated from the north, not only did they have a hard time, but also the ordinary people who had been squeezed out of their living space.

The local people in Jiangdong and Jiangnan envied the tax reduction and exemption in the Central Plains this year, fled to the south, and tried to integrate into the local area, but the small scholars who had not yet settled down were also flustered in their hearts, and looked at the north and had the idea of going back.

Only the Tushi clan, no matter where they go, their lives will not be difficult.

They naturally heard about Zhao Hanzhang's measures in the Central Plains, so they went to Wang Dao, "Why don't Mao Hong suggest that the king also reduce taxes and stabilize the people?" ”

Wang Dao said: "This method is good, everyone can go to the book together." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and they all agreed, and agreed to write a proposal together.

When they walked out of the palace, they did not leave separately, but changed places to continue drinking and partying, "Since February, the king has not seen Mao Hong, and I don't know what happened to them. ”
