Heyang County, Wuping Township, Cheng'anli.

Rikui was standing under a standing tree with a large drum in his hand, shouting loudly.

Beside him, there were three county guards, all with their heads held high, quite magnificent.

Li Ne suddenly became lively, and the people walked towards the direction of Limu with helpless faces, and Li Kui did this, obviously there was something very important to announce to everyone.

This will delay a lot of things for them, and they can only wait silently in their hearts, hoping that this time it will not be delayed for too long.

When many people gathered in despair, Li Kui was still constantly fiddling with his broken drum and shouting.

About a hundred and ten people gathered in front of him.

The men were thin, and as far as the eye could see, they were all scrawny, and many of them had tattered clothes, sewn from several different kinds of cloth, and the dirt had almost blackened them.

Most of them wore short clothes, which made it easier for them to plow, and the clothes did not fit, and even their sunken bellies and rows of ribs could be seen.

Some carry hoes, others hold children.

Rikui counted the people in front of him again, and then put down the drum in his hand.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, today I went to the township, and the townsman announced a big event!" ”

"I was ordered to come back and inform you!"

"Listen carefully to me, if a Shangguan comes to inquire one day, you don't know, I won't spare you!"

Hearing Li Kui's words, everyone only replied weakly.

Li Kui was very satisfied, he raised his head, and could no longer hide the smile on his face, "What I want to say today is a good thing!" ”

The people stood dead in front of him, but none of them took over, and none of them had any expectations on their faces.

Their daily life is basically jumping repeatedly on the line of life and death, not daring to slack off for a day, getting up early in the morning, eating a meal, and then working until dark, eating another meal, and then going to sleep.

Many times, it may be that you can't even afford to eat two meals.

These two meals do not mean that you are full twice, but twice, most of the time it may be one bite in the morning and one bite in the evening.

Cao Wei's taxes were relatively high, and forced labor was frequent, in fact, the people of the three kingdoms were almost the same, and the people of each country were tossed to this point.

Even Cao Chao's side may be better.

Li Kui said loudly: "Your Majesty is merciful! Concerned about the people of the world, I specially ordered that from this year, oral calculations will be abolished!! In the future, there will be no need to pay Ding Fu again! ”

As soon as Li Kui screamed, the faces of the people who were originally lifeless finally appeared.

They seemed to wake up all at once, and their dull eyes brightened.

For a moment, they couldn't seem to believe what they were hearing.

"Don't accept it?? Don't pay the poll tax?! ”

Everyone asked each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Li Kui blew his beard angrily, why didn't these people listen to themselves?

Rikui himself is very happy with this policy.

Although Li Kui is barely counted in the official system of Great Wei, this is basically the bottom of the bottom.

The income of Rikui is very low, and he still needs to cultivate to feed, and he cannot do it without production.

Of course, the quality of life is certainly better than that of the mud-legged people in front of me, but it is not much better.

He said angrily, "Listen to me!!" ”

Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at him.

Seeing their appearance, Li Kui continued: "Your Majesty is benevolent, righteous and loves the people, this matter is known to everyone in the world, this time Your Majesty pardoned the poll tax, this is a great gift!" You should be grateful! ”

As soon as Li Kui finished speaking, a person below shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!! ”

As he cheered, the rest of the crowd also chanted.

Rikui was furious, "I have to lead the shouting!" Stop it! I have to shout with you!! ”

But at this moment, in front of him was just the shouting of His Majesty, and some people hurriedly turned their heads, bowed to the north, and shouted long live, and the rest followed suit.

Li Kui was anxious and angry, "Wrong! Wrong! Luoyang is over there! Over there!! ”

The county officials behind him didn't say a word, just calmly looked at the scene in front of them.

The crowd was worshipping, and suddenly one of them stood up suddenly, his face pale, and he threw two blows to his face, and then he began to cry.

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet, and everyone just looked at him.

Then, a few more people began to sob.

Because they can't afford to pay this calculation, only they know what they have done.

But now, the nightmare is over.

The preaching situation in various places is similar to that of Cheng'anli.

For a time, the news of the abolition of the poll tax spread to all parts of the world, and the people everywhere shouted long live and responded happily.

No matter what those people at the top think, in the eyes of those low-level people living on the death line, this is simply the most merciful benevolent government in the world, and this is the benevolent government that can save their family.

At present, there are two types of poll tax, which is the so-called oral calculation, but in fact, these are two types of taxation.

For men and women between the ages of 15 and 56, they have to pay 120 yuan a year, and for example, for a family, the husband and wife have to pay 240 yuan.

At the same time, in order to marry early and have children, women who are not married after the age of 15 will continue to be added, and if they stay up to the age of 30, they can add 600 yuan per year.

In the early Han Dynasty, minor children from seven to fourteen years old had to pay 20 yuan to the temple, and a family of three had to pay 260 yuan to the temple a year.

Since the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, the most brutal tax collector was Emperor Wu, so the world said that the mouth began with Emperor Wu.

He raised the 40 calculation fee at the time of Emperor Wen to 120, and advanced the age of the oral fu to three years old, which was originally paid at the age of seven, but now it has to be paid at the age of three.

In any case, the poll tax is a very unreasonable tax system that will increase the gap between the rich and the poor, and will cause great suffering to the people at the bottom.

It is basically impossible for ordinary people to have money, and the "money" at home is grain, so this money is converted according to the price of grain, and it is the officials who are responsible for the conversion

And now, the nightmare is finally over.

The people cheered.

This time, Cao Chao finally got the support of the people at the bottom, and now, the soldiers, the people, the middle and lower class handicraftsmen and handicraftsmen, the three that Cao Chao wanted at the beginning, have completely stood on Cao Chao's side.

It was those businessmen in Luoyang who were eager to shout long live at this moment.

Because their poll tax is doubled.

Cao Chao can receive news almost every day, saying that the people everywhere are very happy, cheering, spontaneously kneeling, kneeling for a long time, and so on.

If there is a panel in front of me now, the hearts of the people at the bottom should be full value.

Well, the upper layer is probably negative here

Now all this is Zhong Hui who is responsible for the implementation, Zhong Hui is very concerned about this matter, and wherever he goes, he does not forget to inform the ministers that this is what he proposed and executed!

The bell will become more and more busy, and he doesn't even come to the Taiji Hall very often.

Cao Chao couldn't sit still at the moment, he immediately ordered Man Changwu and the others to be dressed in civilian clothes, and he wanted to take a turn in Luoyang.

Every time Cao Chao goes out, he basically uses his identity as a child of a big family to cover himself.

Generally, the Xun family is used, because they have a lot of family members, and the Xun family has eight dragons, each of which blooms, and probably they themselves don't know how many relatives they have.

After leaving the palace, Cao Chao changed his surname to Xun, anyway, he did this kind of thing before he took office.

Of course, Cao Chao is going to his favorite restaurant.

Sure enough, all the people are talking about is this.

Sitting here, Cao Chao could hear the merchants and passers-by around him excitedly talking about his benevolent government.

"The saint exempted us from the endowment this time, it is not a secret, I actually have three children in my family, but I walk the streets and alleys a year, I can't get 2,000 yuan, my parents are still less than fifty-six, the four of us are nearly 500 yuan, plus three children and the rest of the business taxes, it is difficult for me to even support my family, so I can only give the children to my wife and brother to raise"

The man couldn't help but wipe away his tears as he spoke.

"Now it's good, I can order one more plate for dinner today!"

It was only in a few days that the folk called him a saint.

Cao Chao listened to these words, and his eyes were full of joy.

Although he is not a person who can't sit still when he hears the praise of others, he is still very happy to be praised by the people like this, and at this moment, he seems to be happier than the victory over those Biansaihu people.

Cao Chao ate quite happily at this meal, was satisfied, and turned to leave.

Escorted by several people, he walked out of the restaurant and headed for the carriage.

At this moment, a carriage passed by them, and the person sitting in the carriage suddenly noticed the extremely tall Man Changwu, he was stunned, and then saw the young man who was getting into the carriage on the side.

"Stop!! Stop it!! ”

The man shouted.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the man jumped out of the carriage, but at that moment, seven or eight strong men directly surrounded him, making him unable to move.

He looked at Cao Chao, nodded on his toes, and stopped talking.

Cao Chao looked at him, and then laughed, "Let that guy come over!" ”

Liu Lu walked quickly to Cao Chao's side and saluted with a smile.

"Are you heading to the palace?"

"Yes, I never thought I would meet Your Majesty halfway"

Liu Lugang said, and suddenly made a straight face, "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace as soon as possible, it's not safe outside." ”

Cao Chao was stunned, "What??" ”

Liu Lu said in a low voice: "There are secret agents in Hanoi who have informed that there are traitors who want to murder Your Majesty."

Cao Chao looked at him in disbelief, "Assassination?? ”

Liu Lu nodded, "Your Majesty is good to go out, this is something that can't be hidden, and there are too many people who have a deep blood feud with Your Majesty." ”

"Please go back to the palace first, and I'll tell you in detail!"

ps: This time the palace is back for a day, I'm really sorry, this hand has to be slowed down for a day, a few fingers are sore, I want to wear a finger sleeve or something, and I will resume normal updates from tomorrow!
