"The tax has been reduced!"

Cui Yu danced and gestured.

"In the future, the field tax will only be collected by one percent, and the conscription will also be reduced, and now the conscription of the First Emperor's Mausoleum and Afang Palace has also stopped, and in the future, you will only need to serve the county and county conscription, and you don't have to go so far, if you don't pawn out......" Cui Yu gestured.

Hearing the sound, he grinned and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He pawned the field because his old mother was seriously ill and it was too expensive to catch medicine, and in the end, the pawn went out, and the old mother did not come back to life.

Tooth regretted it a little, but regret didn't help.

"Even if you don't pawn it out...... There are also many debts. The tooth was filled.

Yes, in debt.

They had no ploughing tools or oxen, and they could only borrow them during the farming season.

In short, there are miscellaneous things, and they also owe the Cui family a lot of debts.

Cui Yu scratched his head and thought about it, and found that it seemed to be true.

The old man is kind and does not urge to repay the money, but the money is still owed, and he expects to repay the debt by farming, who knows how long it will take?

In fact, in the whole Langya, the Shu people can only wear the clothes of cattle and horses, eat the food of pigs and dogs, and they don't know how much they owe, and there is no place to stand at all.

This is the current situation of self-employed people, and the Langya area abounds.

And when you look at the world, most of them are like this.

Self-employed people not only have to do hard labor and pay taxes, but they also owe a lot of foreign debts.

There are only two fateful endings for them.

Bankrupt and reduced to official slaves, or bankrupt and became tenant farmers of the Cui family, farming and working for the Cui family for generations.

Yes, generations!

There are many generations of tenant farmers of the Cui family, and they don't know how much debt they have borne since they were born, of course, everything about them has become the Cui family, and all the value they generate is naturally the Cui family.

"Dog days...... It is not enough to occupy a lot of fertile land, but also to take advantage of the looting and coax people to pawn the land, which is obviously the ploughing tools and ploughing cattle of the government, which should have been rented by us at this time, but all became their property. Cui Yu spat and scolded hatefully.

Ya opened his mouth, and finally didn't scold with Cui Yu.

It's clear that taxes have been reduced, but life doesn't seem to be much better.

He is still lucky, the Cui family is willing to accept them, and he can become a tenant farmer of the Cui family, but if the Cui family is unwilling, then he will become an official slave.

That's even more terrifying......

The world is as black as a crow...... But now, the First Emperor seems to be whiter, and the Qin State is also whiter, but the haze pressing on their heads has not diminished in the slightest.

And the other side......

Langya, in the Cui family's mansion.

Cui Min and Cui Jing, father and son, sat opposite each other.

"This year's new grain has been planted, and with the newly purchased Quyuan plough of Qin, this year's cultivation is much faster, and the manpower has been reduced a lot, but there is no need for more tenant farmers to manage the fields." Cui Jing opened his mouth to report to his father with a smile on his face.

Cui Min had a smile on his face when he heard this.

"If you want to say that this quyuan plough is really a good thing, you have to put some on it if you let the craftsmen at home handle it." Cui Min said.

"With this new type of plough, it is true that there are no more people to manage the fields, and some people will be removed to go to the salt factory......" Cui Min thought for a while and said.

Previously, Zhao Si came up with the method of drying salt, replacing the more primitive method of boiling sea into salt.

The production of salt has been further increased, while the cost has been further reduced, and the quality has also been further improved.

With Zhao Si's unremitting efforts, the price of official salt was finally reduced.

The official salt was reduced to 63 yuan, which really had a huge impact on the private salt producers in the Qi country at that time.

The Cui family, as the soil emperor of Langya and one of the largest producers of private salt, was naturally seriously affected at that time.

But fortunately, the Cui family has a big business, and while the price reduction promotion has maintained its market share, it immediately sent people to spy on it.

Lang Zhongling is in charge of the salt farms of the salt judges in various places, and Meng Yi has made great efforts, and the results are naturally there.

The Cui family really couldn't find any way to investigate at first.

But it's not the same over time?

After all, drying salt requires a lot of labor, and as long as it involves requisitioning a large number of people, it basically has nothing to do with secrecy.

The Cui family wasted more than half a year of effort to find out the root cause of the price reduction of official salt.

Oh, it turns out that the production method of table salt has been updated and iterated.

Then there's nothing to say, steal and you're done.

Qin's salt policy was to include taxes in the price of salt, that is, to include taxes in the price of salt.

It is also destined that under the same cost, private salt must be cheaper than official salt.

Because there is no tax on private salt.

However, the positive significance is not without its significance, compared with the traditional method of boiling sea salt, the salt drying method requires more manpower to open the way for yield and quality.

The update and iteration of the salt production process has led to the complete bankruptcy of a large number of low- and middle-level private salt producers.

But for top nobles like the Cui family, they also have a large salt field and a large number of labor.

The cost can be completely consistent with that of the Qin State.

The price is naturally much lower than the price of salt in Qin.

Because of Cui Min's correct decision before, the price reduction promotion saved the market share that was hit by the sharp drop in salt prices.

Therefore, when the production method of Qin Guoguan's salt was discovered, the Cui family quickly turned losses into profits.

Fortunately, it is the technology update and iteration that can be stolen, and it is not that the Qin State has discovered an inexhaustible salt mine......

Thanks to the high yield and quality of the salt drying method, coupled with the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized smuggling salt dealers, the Cui family's market share has increased a lot.

"There is one more thing, the tax has been reduced, from fifteen to eleven, and I heard that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the Afang Palace have also stopped, and these two places should not be punished again." Cui Jing said with a smile on his face.

"Thanks to the country's loyal ministers!" Cui Min opened his mouth with emotion.

"Yes, if it weren't for Zhao Shangqing's generosity and outspokenness, according to the character of King Qin, he would definitely not have lowered taxes." Cui Jing said excitedly.

"Wrong!" Cui Min shook his head.

"If King Qin is unwilling in his heart, no one can let him change his mind, in the final analysis, it is Zhao Shangqing who persuaded King Qin."

"If King Qin can continue to be like this, the world will naturally be peaceful, and how many people are willing to give up their lives regardless of wanting to bring the world back to troubled times?" Cui Min said.

"It's ...... too," Cui Jing nodded.

"Only obey Your Majesty's Shengming, ......"

Cui Min Cui Jing and his son generously admitted the correctness of the First Emperor, and seriously thanked the First Emperor for his gift.

Objectively speaking, they do not want to restore the country, nor do they want the world to return to the era of war and strife.

They are not careerists, and once the troubled times come, the possibility of bankruptcy greatly increases, which is something that no one wants.

The father and son sighed at the changes in Great Qin, but they really forgot that just two years ago, the price of Qin Guoguan salt was reduced.

The sentence that blurted out.

"Zhao Zheng raised by a servant girl!"
