"How many people in your family have a lot of land, and how much tax and grain did you pay last year?"

"If you go back to the inspection envoy, there are six wives and children and parents in the grass people's family, and a total of one hundred and two acres of land are divided!

Last summer, the summer and autumn produced a total of 510 stone of grain, and paid a tax of 153 stone! ”

"Good! Next! Li Yongtian"

"I'm here!"

"How many people in your family have a lot of land, and how much tax and grain did you pay last year?"

"My lord, I have three more children, seven people, including parents, wives and children, a total of 119 acres of land, a total of 595 stone of grain last year, and a total of 178 stone and 500 yuan in taxes!"

"Good! Next! Li Duofu! ”

"I'm here!"

"How many people in your family have a lot of land, and how much tax and grain did you pay last year?"

"Back to my lordship, my family ......"

Everyone's answers, Zhao Jun recorded them on the ledger in his hand one by one, comparing them with the previous records, until he asked the last person, Zhao Jun finally showed a satisfied smile.

Turning his head to Wang Dahai, who had been bending over and waiting, he said:

"The king's steward has done a good job, there is nothing wrong, and the official will definitely report to the saint when he returns to the palace."

Wang Dahai showed a smile on his face, and only said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, it's just our family's own job." ”

Zhao Jun nodded slightly: "It's just a job, how many people can't even do their own work!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Jun took his son by the hand and walked towards the villagers.

Wang Huaien on the side stretched out his hand and patted Wang Dahai's shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid is blessed, this pouring wealth poured down, and your kid actually caught it, not bad, not bad!" ”

Wang Dahai had a question mark in his head when he said this, and he didn't understand what the ancestor meant, but he didn't know that it was not the inspector who praised him just now, but the current saint himself, and Zhao Jun agreed that it was good, and this sentence alone was enough to make Wang Dahai rise all the way in the palace in the future.

This is also the reason why Wang Huaien said that the wealth poured out of the sky, and he also caught it.

Wang Dahai was still confused here, and Zhao Jun had already taken his son to Li Daniu, who was the first to reply just now, and asked with a smile:

"How is life at home now?

Is it possible to eat and clothe at home?

Can there be surplus food and money at home every year? ”

Faced with Zhao Jun's three questions, this Li Daniu showed a simple smile, scratched the back of his head and said with a smile:

"After dragging Your Majesty's blessings, since Your Majesty ascended the throne and cleaned up the previous stewards, our lives have been better.

Don't you know, my lord, we used to have enough food and clothing every year, and those former stewards were very dark, Your Majesty and his old man only collected 30% of the tax, but he just asked for 70%!

If you don't give it, you will drive your family out, and you will be in a hurry in the cold winter and wax moon, so that your family will starve to death in the snow.

Not only that, but what filial piety money do we have to pay him every year, if you don't give it next year, you will divide your family's land to someone else to plant, so that the already small harvest will become even less.

This filial piety money is collected more than once a year, sometimes twice a month, and we have to take out at least nearly 20% of the remaining 30% of the grain to him, and finally barely live on the only remaining 10% of the grain.

If this is a normal year, if you go out to dig some wild vegetables and catch some fish in the Bianhe River, the family can barely get by.

But if there is a drought in the past, the family will live better than death!

In the twenty-seventh year of Tiansheng, my father and mother were almost starved to death, as soon as the Huns came, they snatched away the only food left in our family, and the family didn't know how to live, and the person in charge also let us pay taxes and filial piety, where did we have these, and we were almost driven out by him. ”

When talking about this painful experience in the past, Li Daniu's eyes had begun to redden, and his family members also had red eyes, as if recalling the difficult scene at that time.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daniu's face was filled with joy, and he continued: "It's okay! Now that the emperor has ascended the throne in time, his old man has sent people to kill all those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones.

He also exempted us from taxes for twenty-eight years, and gave us relief food.

Our family survived.

Then this year, we worked hard, but fortunately, God also gave face, did not make trouble for us, and this year we all had a bumper harvest!

We've paid all the food taxes, hehe......"

When he said this, Li Daniu scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said: "At the beginning of the year, I heard that the emperor was sending troops to fight those rebels in the south, and we wanted to give more grain taxes when we harvested in the summer, so that the emperor could have food for the soldiers to fight and win the war!"

But the surname Wang refuses to live or die, what a fucking dead brain! ”

Speaking of this, Li Daniu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Dahai, who was still confused in the distance, and whispered to Zhao Jun:

"Lord Inspector, what I said just now was whispered to you, don't tell the person surnamed Wang."

Zhao Jun grinned, and immediately nodded: "Okay, this is what you whispered to me, I won't tell him." ”

"That's good!"

Li Daniu breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Inspector Envoy, can you tell the emperor after you go back, let him change his brain and manage things flexibly, I feel that this surnamed Wang's brain is a little stupid, and we don't want to take more food, isn't this a fool?"

What if the emperor's food is not enough, and there is no food for the soldiers on the front line?

I heard from Xiucai from other villages that even the emperor can't send hungry soldiers, otherwise those who serve as soldiers will not fight seriously, and they will lose the war!

But that's right, those who are soldiers are fighting for their lives, and if they don't have enough to eat, they really won't want to fight, and I don't want to change me.

But the emperor is so good, we don't want him to lose the battle, the inspector envoy, when you go back, tell the emperor to let him quickly change his head to come over, we will give him more food, so that he can give food to those who are soldiers, so that they can fight well, do you think it's okay? ”

After Li Daniu said this, the other villagers who were listening echoed one after another:

"Yes, yes! Inspector, when you go back, tell the emperor that they will change this surname Wang, this guy has a bad brain, and it will be bad. ”

"Yes, yes! Replace this guy with a bad brain! No matter how much food you don't want, our dogs know that it is a bite to eat, and this dog is not as good! ”

"It's just ......"

……

Listening to the words of the people around him, the smile on the corner of Zhao Jun's mouth couldn't be suppressed at all, the kind that was harder to suppress than AK.

To be able to win the hearts of the people like this, what more can the husband ask for?

These people don't ask for much, as long as they can give them a bite to eat, they think that you are a great good person, and this is such an insatiable group of corrupt officials and landlords and gentry who want to persecute them!

I'm not going to show mercy to these damn people.

Zhao Jun smiled and waved his hand to calm everyone down, then looked back at a guy in the distance who was said by the villagers to have a bad brain, and then said to the villagers: "I can't agree to your request." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Zhao Jun said again: "Your Majesty specially sent this kind of stupid person, then if the brain is too smart, he will deceive the upper and lower, isn't your previous manager a good brain?"

If his brain is not good, how can he use all kinds of means to ask for food from you?

Can't you still want to live like you used to? ”

Upon hearing this, the villagers hurriedly shook their heads.

"Really! We can't let the too smart come, and the smart will harm us! ”

"Yes, yes! It's better to be stupid! That's it, it's stupid, you can't change it! ”

"It's still the emperor's master, I know that I am looking for stupid people, and I won't change it!"

"That's it, be stupid, be stupid, at least it won't trick us!"

……

The villagers immediately agreed and decided not to replace this stupid one, and even the eyes that had been looking at him unpleasantly because they thought he was stupid in the past became kind.

Not far away, Wang Dahai, who was still thinking about where the ancestor said about the wealth of the sky, suddenly felt a burst of staring, and looked up at the villagers, but found that the villagers were not looking at him, and shook his head in confusion, and continued to look down and think.

He didn't know that the moment he looked up, the villagers who had seen it immediately lowered their heads again.

Hey? Where is the wealth that this ancestor said? Why didn't we see it......
