Chapter 64: She put it aside

"Isn't that policy called a run? You have robbed us of all our tenants!"

The head of the Mu family couldn't help but raise his voice by eight degrees.

Li Yewu was dumbfounded, is this head of the Mu family proud of his pampering because he has borrowed the grace of the cow from her? Look at this violent temper, they all roared.

She's a nominal princess, right?

The head of the Mu family also seemed to realize that he was out of control, he let himself take a deep breath, calm down, and then changed his aggrieved face: "Princess, your policy will really force us to death!" You can't do that!"

"You guys say that the pattern is too small, where am I forcing you to death, I am clearly creating opportunities for you!"

"What chance?" The white of everyone's eyes were about to turn to the sky.

"The nobles of the past no longer exist, you are the newly rising nobles of Taiqizhou, the most important thing for nobles is to build a good reputation, and now is your chance to perform!

Not to mention the noble sentiment of "if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world", at least let everyone realize the difference between you and the old aristocracy."

"Yes...... Is this necessary?" The crowd was a little speechless.

They are just merchants, businessmen are profitable, and it is important to make money.

Li Yewu has a lot to do with them, and his character is ......

They are not really nobles, who cares about these false names.

Moreover, what does it have to do with the fact that she introduced policies to poach their people and let them establish a reputation?

Do you want them to get a house and farm the land together?

"You can't say that, you don't think about the present, but also about the future. Even if your son doesn't want to be in the office, what about your grandson? What about the grandson's grandson? Haven't any of your children and grandchildren considered a career in politics?"

"This ...... What's the necessary relationship?"

"Of course it matters, I believe that you will definitely hope that future generations will join the office, but does it only depend on the pen to enter the office? As far as I know, the children of the local respected families will be treated differently when they go to the Jinluan Palace, right?

How does the high morality come about? Isn't it just a character that has been accumulated bit by bit on ordinary times?"

"What is the princess trying to express when she says this? Don't beat around the bush, just say it."

The silent head of the Xu family sealed his throat with a sword, breaking Li Yewu's beaming.

Li Yewu was not annoyed, and looked at them with a smile: "In fact, there is only one reason why you can't retain talents, you don't give enough. Anxious for what the people are anxious about, and what the people are safe, they will naturally die for you, and you will be exalted to the high altar by them, so why not."

The faces of the four family heads twitched, and they could understand what Li Yewu wanted to express in such a circle.

"The princess wants us to follow your example and send houses and fields? The princess has a treasury to support us, but we have nothing behind us, so it is difficult for the strongman."

"You're much richer than me, after all, you only received more than a million taels per person not long ago, didn't you?"

「!」

Seeing that the four masters were full of muscles, and there was a possibility of bursting blood vessels at any time, Li Yewu smiled and comforted: "Ouch, you can't afford to joke anymore, I'm just joking, don't be angry."

In this way, for the sake of your friendship with the royal government, I will give you a face and implement this double exemption policy throughout the state.

All farmers in Taiqi Prefecture are exempt from taxes and forced labor for three years!

As for the land rent, after all, I can't collect it, you can control it yourself, and it's up to you whether you can keep anyone or not.

I'm doing this, right?"

Li Yewu's words really shocked the four of them, but they didn't expect this girl to want to implement the two-sided policy all over the state, so wouldn't the yamen have no harvest in the past three years?

And what about the annual tribute? Is it all up to her?

Is this girl panicked or crazy because of the money? What's in it for her? Is this name really so important?

Everyone was puzzled.

Li Yewu smiled again: "You don't need to worry about this, all in all, all I can do for you is only here.

If nothing else, I'll go first, after all, I still have a lot of work to do, see you later."

Until Li Yewu disappeared, everyone had not recovered from her promise to cut through the mess quickly.

At the end, the head of the Liu family sighed: "This princess ...... Sure enough, he's quite virtuous."

"You're still virtuous, hum, you're still complacent when you're taken advantage of."

The head of the Xu family is in a bit of a bad mood today, and he can't stop him from being an invisible person no matter what happens, but today he is extremely irritable.

The head of the Liu family looked confused: "When was I taken advantage of? Did the princess do something I don't know about?"

The head of the Mu family scratched his head, and he also looked curious.

The richest Quartet family master thought about it for a while and reacted, and couldn't help frowning: "Okay, this girl is really scheming, even I almost fell in love with her!"

「???」

The head of the Liu family, the head of the Mu family, was even more puzzled, what did Li Yewu do?

Didn't she exempt the entire state from paying taxes?

At present, as long as everyone reduces the rent, I believe that the tenants will not leave, after all, Li Yewu's side is full, and they can't go if they want to, right?

The head of the Xu family replied angrily: "Li Yewu is exempt from taxes and forced labor for peasant households, but he does not say that he is exempt from merchants."

「!」

Now the two of them also reacted.

They also pity the yamen for having no revenue in the past three years, and Li Yewu has to pay it himself.

It is only the peasants who dare to love the family, and the businessmen should pay it or have to pay it.

Speaking of this merchant, they also have to pay the poll tax, and not only themselves, but also the servants in the courtyard, the men in the workshop, etc., as long as the deed of sale is in their hands, they have to help them pay the tax.

Of course, this is the policy of the Great Chu to prevent the rich nobles from keeping a large number of slaves and servants in captivity, so every time it is time to pay taxes, it is the time for merchants to hemorrhage.

Moreover, in addition to the poll tax, they had to pay additional levy fees for non-conscription, and even the field rent had to be paid 30%.

All in all, although they oppressed the tenants, the yamen also oppressed them a lot.

Everyone didn't react just now, only when Li Yewu exempted everyone from servitude, but after a long time, daring to be affectionate, Li Yewu kept saying that she was benevolent and righteous to them, in fact, her double exemption policy was only beneficial to the tenants, and she didn't take advantage of them at all, and even had to lose a wave of rent!

But they didn't react at the moment, and now it's too late to react, the girl ran away, and she didn't have anything to say!

"This girl dares to blatantly affect our interests! I wish I could kill her!" The head of the Mu family couldn't help but slap the table.

"Indeed, Li Yewu has only been here for a month, and if she is allowed to gain a foothold in Taiqizhou, I am afraid that our life will be even more difficult." The head of the Quartet family also sank like water.

"How do you want to ......" The head of the Liu family had a premonition, and there was shock and panic in his eyes.
