Chapter 43: Tang Tian's Gift
Long Yu said: "Do you want to thank that bastard in my family?" ”
Ye Yingluo agreed very much: "Indeed, without thunderclouds, we may not be able to be together. ”
Shen Chuntao said: "So Lei Yun is still your matchmaker." ”
Just when they were talking and laughing here, Tang Tian and the others were already drunk and unconscious, and the nine brothers were lying on the ground.
Every time the nine brothers drank, they were very drunk, which made those women very helpless, so they were forbidden to drink.
The next day, Tang Tian woke up, returned to the Taishou Mansion, and came directly to the study without returning to the room, and then Mu Lan came in with breakfast: "My lord, it's time to have breakfast." ”
Tang Tian nodded, and said while eating: "I heard that you were scared yesterday?" ”
Mu Lan said: "Thank you for your concern, it's okay now." ”
Tang Tiandao: "You will get used to it in the future, take your time." ”
"Yes." Mu Lan responded.
After breakfast, Tang Tian went out, today he wants to do something about people's livelihood, reclaim the land, distribute grain, and also plant some crops that are not available now, and they are still high-yield crops, yes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops, these crops are all transmitted from the American continent, and after the opening of the new shipping route, the contact between the continents was added, but now of course, it has not yet reached the era of opening up new shipping routes, these crops are brought by Tang Tian and them.
Although Tang Tian has a lot of food in his hands, he can't take it out, it's not that he is selfish, but he can't stifle the fine traditions and natural skills of the Chinese nation, although he can directly give a lot of things, but he still thinks that it can't be done, so he simply gives the people land and seeds, let them do it themselves, and collect some taxes symbolically, but they can't collect less, because some people will have nothing to do when they are full, and some people will develop the habit of being lazy because they have too many things in their hands. Tang Tian wants to control that he can't make them too rich or too poor, just stuck at a point that is just enough to solve the problem of food and clothing, not worrying about food and clothing, not worrying about small illnesses, anyway, just be able to get by.
Although Tang Tian had already purchased some of the land from the wealthy merchants of the family, who would worry about his own necessities.
Tang Tian found Zhi Zhuo to arrange the area and location of the first batch of reclaimed land, Liaodong County is just in the Liaohe Plain, is the main grain producing area in later generations, has the world's third largest black soil, is a very suitable place for growing food, but the ancient agricultural level is low, there is no way to develop agriculture in this middle and high latitude area, but this problem is not a problem for Tang Tian and them.
Tang Tian's conclusion of their discussion was to first reclaim 300,000 acres of land in Xiangping County, and then spread to the surrounding areas, the first phase to reclaim more than 5 million acres of land, but now there are not enough manpower, so Tang Tian privately issued an order to allow the people to reclaim their own land, and the reclaimed land belongs to the people themselves, of course, if you feel that the land is too much, you can sell it to the Taishou Mansion at a reasonable price, that is, the Taishou Mansion, the county government does not have the right to purchase the land of the local people, of course, with the consent of the Taishou Mansion, At the same time, it can also be exchanged for grain at the same price.
A paper order instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the people to open up the wasteland, which could not be cultivated before, but now it can, and the land reclaimed belongs to themselves, of course, the enthusiasm is high, and the people are every household, men, women and children go into battle to reclaim the land.
Batches of trees fell, some precious tree species and medicinal herbs were also tragically harmed, Tang Tian hurriedly ordered to avoid these precious trees and medicinal herbs as much as possible when reclaiming the land, otherwise he would face punishment, and the trees and herbs that were originally cut down were all pulled away by Zhi Zhuo, a profiteer, in his words, these things are useful to me.
By the beginning of spring ploughing, the entire Liaodong had more than 10 million mu of land, three times the original amount, of which Taishoufu owned 4 million mu of land, and these 4 million mu of land were composed of three parts, which were exchanged and sold by the people, purchased from the hands of wealthy merchants, and confiscated from the original officials.
There is so much land in the hands of the Taishou Mansion, it is better not to plant it if no one wants to plant it, but these Tang Tian have long thought of it, these lands are prepared for the families of the soldiers under Tang Tian, and those people who have been relocated from Tianwolf Village have arrived in Liaodong one after another after a few months of migration, Tang Tian will distribute the land in his hand, and the more than 300,000 people who signed the title deed and contract can each get more than ten acres of land, Tang Tian gave them land and planted grain, which caused the opposition of the indigenous people, But after hearing Tang Tian's policy, did he oppose it so much?
Tang Tian stipulated that half of the annual harvest of these people should be handed over to the Taishou Mansion, and the taxes should be calculated separately, a total of ten years, but if someone in the family joins the Liaodong Army, it will be reduced for three years, and the merit in the army will be reduced for a minimum of one year, and the maximum can be completely exempted, and at the same time, if you die in battle, you can be completely exempted, and you will be exempted from taxes for three years, and there will be subsidies.
For the aborigines to join the army, they can also reduce taxes for three years, and there is a subsidy for war death.
The above is actually ten years for the people who moved into Liaodong, but it is only six years, first of all, they all have relatives in the army, and they have been reduced for three years, and secondly, Tang Tian gave military merits to those soldiers after coming to Liaodong, and another year of reduction, and some people who died in battle, their families were exempted, and there was nothing for them, it turned out that one or two acres of land could live for a year, and now dozens of acres of land are handed over to half and half, how can it be enough to have surplus grain, which is much better than before.
Regarding taxation, Tang Tian still follows the previous "harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes" to implement five taxes and one, although it is still five taxes and one but the grain in his hand is more than ten times more than the remaining grain of the previous five taxes and one one, what is the difference? And you don't have to pay taxes all the time, you don't have to pay taxes after 20 years of planting.
Although Tang Tian's policy doesn't seem so reasonable, it just works, as long as the people can be fed and clothed, wouldn't it be good? The ancients did not value material things as much as later generations, and they were more concerned with the present.
Along with the land tax law, commerce and trade were also enforced, and Tang Tian changed the previous municipal system to allow private trade, no longer set up curfews, allowed night markets, and allowed things to be sold anywhere without obstructing traffic.
Liaodong also has the best place to manufacture salt by the sea, and it is also one of the main salt producing areas of one of the four major salt farms in China, Tang Tian will certainly not let go of this profiteering industry, and it has entered spring, the weather is getting better and better, and it is more and more beneficial for the manufacture of sea salt. The first batch of salt has been manufactured, and the results obtained by the market are much better than the original lake salt and coarse salt, and there is no bitterness, after all, the original salt-making process is not as fine as Tang Tian's. The second batch of salt soon produced about 3,000 tons, Tang Tian sold it according to the amount of half a catty per bag, and sold it for twenty yuan per bag, which is not expensive, the original coarse salt taste is not so good and sells for fifty yuan a catty, Tang Tian is much better than theirs, and the price is cheap, but if the people know that the cost of this package is only three yuan, will they be killed?
The new salt is named Snow Salt because compared to the original light yellow salt, Tang Tian's Snow Salt is really white, and it looks very appetizing, of course, not only there is Snow Salt in the local area, but also sold to other places, 30 yuan per package, although it is more expensive than the original salt of the same weight, but it can't bear the good taste, the color is snow white, more than five cents, you can buy better, who will eat the original bitter and astringent coarse salt, in other counties and counties a pack of snowflake salt can be fried to 60 yuan, but no matter how the price rises, the people who sell salt are Tang Tian's people, the rest of the people can't interfere, so the biggest profit is the Liaodong Taishou Mansion, and all the money goes into Tang Tian's pocket.
And salt is just Tang Tian's first move to open the trade route, the second move is furniture, of course, this is not ordinary furniture, but the furniture that has been hardcover in later generations, it looks very tall, of course, there are no chairs, stools, and old artifact chaise longues and rocking chairs, these furniture are made of trees cut down during reclamation, and the price is different according to the value of the trees.
The best furniture is in the brothers' mansions, of course, rocking chairs, recliners, stools, chairs These things Tang Tian naturally will not forget to send them to Liu Che, to please this dog emperor, so that this guy can turn a blind eye to himself, and there are ten permanent attendants, let them blow the wind on the pillow and take care of my business.
Palace
Liu Hong was lying on the recliner sent by Tang Tian, with a comfortable face: "This thing sent by Tang Tian is so comfortable, my waist doesn't hurt recently, haha." ”
Zhang Rang and others also said: "Yes, Tang Tianyuan is in Liaodong and does not forget that His Majesty is really worth it." ”
At this time, another eunuch came over: "Your Majesty, Liaoyang Hou Tang Tianyou has sent you something." ”
Liu Che closed his eyes and enjoyed: "What did he send again?" ”
The little eunuch said, "It seems to be medicine." ”
Liu Che's eyes were cold: "What does Tang Tian mean by this?" How? Do I need medicine? ”
Zhang Rang and the others were speechless, what is Tang Tian doing? His Majesty just praised him, is he now sending medicine to find death?
Liu Hong said: "What kind of medicine did he send?" ”
The little eunuch said: "The slave doesn't know, but the Marquis of Liaoyang has a letter for His Majesty to open in person." ”
Liu Hong said: "Submit it." ”
Liu Hong read the letter carefully, and a smile appeared on his face: "The one who knows me is none other than Tang Boming." ”
He took the medicine jar, poured out a black pill, examined it, opened his mouth to eat, and soon a fire rose in his lower abdomen. Liu Hong called the palace maid who was passing by to experiment immediately, and after a full hour, Liu Hong pushed away the palace maid who was no longer breathless: "Deal with it." ”
Zhang made them stunned, how could His Majesty be so fierce? Could it be Tang Tian's medicine?
That's right, this is Tang Tian's second gift to Liu Hong, to revive Liu Hong's heroism, Tang Tian already knew that Liu Che was a second man when they met for the first time, so now he gave him a bottle of man's heroism while giving a gift.
Make up for yesterday's.
