46 Pit Bo
Qiu Yu knew very well what Lu Ying had done, so he understood how amazing Lu Ying's courage and decisiveness were.
The poll tax should be completely abolished, and the tax on the acres of land should be collected, and in addition, the cost of conscription should also be included in the tax on the acreage in the future, that is, the people will no longer bring their own dry food when they come out for conscription.
What does this mean?
First of all, when the imperial court collected taxes according to the capitation, there was a problem that it was impossible to collect taxes from hidden households, and the gentry with meritorious names in the family would not pay taxes, so the gentry class could collect a large number of poor people who could not pay taxes as domestic servants by virtue of this tax law.
In addition to this, the wealthy people owned large tracts of land, but they only had to pay their own taxes, and the large profits from the land, and they paid a pitiful amount of poll tax.
This is a tax reform at the level of war with the landlords, wealthy families, and gentry class, but the landlords and gentry who will react violently to this tax system on Qiongya Island have all been gag, so this tax system will definitely be changed.
Conscription was the dignity of the gentry, as long as they were admitted to the imperial examination, they could be exempted from conscription, so that so many peasant families would defect to the literati and lords, and take refuge under their command to escape from conscription, so that they could absorb a large number of hermits, many more slaves and fields.
To wrap the conscription in the tax per acre is to snatch food from the gentry.
In this era, the landlords and gentry have worked so far against each other that they can only be described as a madman who does not care about his life, If the emperor does this, then the name behind him is basically not wanted, and all the scholars in the world will scold him as stinky shit, Even Yu Wuzong did not do this step, Of course, Yu Wuzong died too early, and some things are estimated not to be that he didn't want to do it, mainly because he didn't have time.
Seven-year-old Xiao Yingying did this, with Qiu Yu's understanding of him, this kid is definitely not an ignorant and fearless, he knows the consequences of doing this, but he doesn't take the consequences seriously, if the literati want to scold, they will scold them, no matter how much scolding will not hinder him from getting benefits, and the Lu family is not a good citizen with a good reputation, they are a family of pirate kings!
It has to be said that the new tax system implemented by Lu Ying is beneficial for the future and can make the people live better, especially Yingying's development of the new tax system, it is not that Qiu Yu and Officer Lu gave him a golden finger, but purely because after he traveled around Qiongya Island, he felt that this tax system was more convenient for him to rule.
It can only be said that this child's qualifications in some aspects are too amazing, but if his qualifications are given to the emperors behind the Yu Dynasty, the Yu Dynasty should not be so tragic when it falls.
Qiu Yu looked at the little Lu Ying, and suddenly had a hunch, maybe in this life, the history books will attack and insult Ying Ying more and more violently, but it is also possible that he will become a saint who surpasses the "Yu Wuzong".
At least from Qiu Yu's point of view, this guy is by no means just a martial artist who can fight and gain territory, if his tax reform can be implemented to the world, Yingying's achievements in cultural governance will also rank among the top of the Ming monarch.
Of course, Qin Zhanying was also a genius with both civil and military skills, and his original temple name was actually from Sejong, but Huaizong was too jealous of this half-brother, and forcibly changed his temple name to Wuzong, who only explained the strength of martial arts.
Qiu Yu pondered for a long time, and he didn't know whether he and Aunt Lu should carry the pot of the great change in Qiongya Island, after all, no one in this era has butterfly wings except for the two of them.
But so far, the most thoughtful and terrifying place is that Lu Ying has done a particularly smooth job in the two things of killing Qiongya Island and changing taxes.
The imperial court did not react, and the gentry did not unite against him in the end, and even the martial arts wealthy clan was pulled over to assassinate the Lu family.
Holding her head and thinking about it for a long time, during which she was fed a plate of coconut cake by Yingying, Qiu Yu finally figured out why this matter went so smoothly.
The gentry on Qiongya Island whose knees are not soft are all dead, and the gentry with soft knees have already rolled, and the latter will roll because Lu Ying deliberately picked up the military rations to the front line before they started, so everyone acquiesced that the Lu family was hooked up with the imperial court, so that they had the courage to take action against the landlords and gentry and monopolize Qiongya Island.
The public thought so: the emperor and the Lu family must have made some heinous deal, so that the emperor sold everyone on Qiongya Island in exchange for the support of the Lu family!
Hiss!
Qiu Yu asked Lu Ying: "Are you sending military rations to the front line just to completely take Qiongya Island?" ”
Lu Ying looked at him, blinking wide-eyed, eyelashes fluttering, like butterfly wings gently touching a person's heart
Dirty, mischievously tugging at the heartstrings.
The child said softly, "Guess what." ”
Hearing this answer, Qiu Yu knew that she had thought right.
No matter what the emperor's attitude towards the Lu family was, Lu Ying decided to take Qiongya Island before sending grain, as a reward for his trip, he had already planned the follow-up so early!
Qiu Yu swallowed his saliva: "Even if you pull the emperor and pull the banner, you should still do it lightly, there are people in the gentry families on some islands who are officials in the court." ”
Lu Ying's eyes widened and explained seriously: "I have face kung fu." ”
Some gentry knees are not weak, and their identities are not suitable for pulling out and cutting in public, so Lu Ying changed his killing method, and with the efforts of Jiang Ping and the secret guards of the Lu family led by him, these people all died of a violent illness with 7749 knives, it doesn't matter if they really died of illness or not, anyway, the Lu family claims it to the outside world, and everyone who understands it understands.
Qiu Yu after listening to Lu Ying's explanation: ......
It's you, Eiko! Are you resonating with the soul of the FBI and CIA for hundreds of years?
Qiu Yu is now extremely sure that those guys who thought they could do anything when they traveled to ancient times after reading a few books will really wear them to ancient times until they have no bones left, look at Ying Ying, this ancient elite is only seven years old and is already a very good predator.
While speaking, Lu Ying had already hugged Qiu Yu's arm and pulled him to the warehouse to see the quality of the coconut.
Qiu Yu still hasn't figured out one more thing: "But are you sure that the emperor really bought the entire island and the South China Sea to your family?" If the emperor's support for you hadn't reached that point, and if he had thoughts about your family suddenly swallowing Qiongya Island and killing so many people, would he send troops to suppress ......?"
Halfway through the words, under Lu Ying's gaze of "Are you stupid", Qiu Yu's words were stuck.
Maybe the emperor didn't mean to cede the de facto sovereignty of Qiongya Island to the Lu family, but when the Lu family did so much in the name of the emperor, this matter was already a yellow mud for Emperor Cheng'anThe crotch can't be washed clearly.
Or, Emperor Cheng'an pinched his nose and admitted this matter, and exchanged the sovereignty of Qiongya Island for the Lu family as an ally, and the Lu family would guard the South China Sea for him in the future, and pay taxes and food on time every year.
Or, that one even cares about Huxiang
It's not good, even the emperor who has to be stuck by the civil officials for half a day to send military rations to the front line will boldly announce that the Lu family is in rebellion, and then when there are Northern Mengs in the north, civilian officials and local wealthy families in the country, add the Lu family as a strong enemy to himself.
You must know that with the blessing of the super talent of the Son of Meteorology, the Lu family's naval army is invincible at sea in this era.
Qiu Yu's infinite sympathy for Emperor Cheng'an suddenly rose in her heart.
This old brother is evil, his wife cuckolded him until he went to the history books, obviously according to Lu Ying, Emperor Cheng'an is a good person with a generous heart, and after Lu Ying met him, he had a pretty good impression of him.
No matter how good the impression is, it will not delay Lu Ying to set up a trap for Emperor Cheng'an, and tear away the sovereignty of Qiongya Island and the South China Sea from Emperor Cheng'an's territory.
If someone else did this, Qiu Yu would have to complain, "Your heart is too dark."
But it was Yingying who did it.
Qiu Yu is a hardcore Yingying party, Yingying is so cute, what he does is right~
And no matter how this kid tosses, it will be his in the future, and now this kid just pulls the meat chop to his plate in advance, does Qiu Yu want to blame him for this? No, he will only praise Yingying for eating well.
Qiu Yu gave a thumbs up to Ying Ying: "Ying Ying, you are so amazing!" ”
Lu Ying was a little shy and said modestly: "It's okay, if it weren't for the cooperation of my grandfather and the management of the Lu family for several generations, I wouldn't be able to do so much." ”
As a top wealthy family, the Lu family swallowed Qiongya Island under the leadership of Lu Ying, which is the ultimate victory obtained by Lu Ying's accurate grasp of the situation and people's hearts, and it is also the fruitful fruit that the Lu family has been able to harvest after several generations of business here.
Qiu Yu: "So can the coconut be cheaper?" For example, a 10% discount or something. ”
The smile on Lu Ying's face disappeared, and he said firmly: "No, friendship is friendship, business is business, I have already given you a very low price, it can't be lower, at most I will send a fleet to help you transport goods across the strait, and the rest is not to be discussed!" ”
Qiu Yu sighed: "Has your love for me disappeared?" ”
Lu Ying said coldly: "Don't talk to me about feelings when talking about business. ”
In the end, Qiu Yu bought a large number of coconuts from Lu Ying at a fairly fair price that could be earned on both sides, and in addition, he had to establish a coconut oil workshop in the county designated by Lu Ying and provide several jobs for the locals of Qiongya Island.
Qiu Yu: "That's you, others can't take so much advantage from me." ”
Lu Ying said: "I'm going to use Jiuyou to transport coconuts to you personally, with me on this trip, no one will dare to provoke the Qiu family on the southern coast in the future, and I will also give you a lot of cheapness!" ”
The two very shrewd children looked at each other and smiled, Qiu Yu picked up Lu Ying and ran out: "The business is over, the next thing is entertainment time, let's go, let's swim." ”
Lu Ying is a water spirit who can go to the sea to play with sea beasts in the face of storms, and Qiu Yu is not worried about anything that will happen to her when she takes this child to play in the water.
On the contrary, if Qiu Yu accidentally suffers from leg cramps when he goes to the sea to play, he can still count on Ying Ying to save him......
The sun was blazing on Qiongya Island in July, Lu Ying drove Jiuyou to take Qiu Yu out to sea, Qiu Yu said "oh hoo", a runner jumped off the boat, and the whole person fell into the blue water, splashing a huge splash.
He floated up and beckoned to Lu Ying: "Yingying! Come down and play! ”
Lu Ying threw her shoes back, jumped down on the edge of the boat, and then dived into the water, and dived to Qiu Yu's side like a little mermaid before floating.
Qiu Yu's face was full of admiration and surprise: "Yingying, you can actually press the water!" ”
Lu Ying was curious: "What kind of water splash?" If you're talking about the quiet movement when diving, it's a family heirloom. ”
The ancestors of the Lu family did not have a huge fleet at the beginning, in fact, one of the main skills of the ancestors of the Lu family in the battle for hegemony at sea at that time was to sneak under the hostile fleet and scuttle other people's ships, so the water splash was just a family heirloom skill for the pirate royal family.
Qiu Yu: ...... It is worthy of a family of pirate kings.
After killing those gentry and robbing them of their land, the Lu family took over the money-making business of these guys by the way.
The climate of Qiongya Island is warm, and the reclamation of sugarcane plantations to refine sugar is the fist product of this island, and even many landlords do not allow their tenant farmers to grow grain, only let them grow sugarcane, so that many farmers have no food to eat, and many people starve to death, but the landlords rely on sugar to earn a lot of money, which is a typical phenomenon of sugar eating people in the Yu Dynasty.
As for coconut, it is also popular in coastal areas because of its sweet juice, after all, it is not the age when many people are overnourished and need to quit sugar in order to prevent diabetes, and sweetness is a precious experience for many people.
Coconut oil has been available since the Song Dynasty, and the coconut oil sold by Qiu Yu is improved by himself, but the overall profit of coconut is still not as good as sugar, but Qiu Yu is self-aware, and the little power of the Qiu family in Huxingfang sells coconut oil.
As long as the interests are moving enough, how the Lu family swallows Qiongya Island, how can those wealthy families in Huguang swallow the Qiu family.
But it's not enough to just grab the business, in order to digest this big piece of fat, Lu Ying used the advice given by Qiu Yu, that is, to strengthen the service.
As long as the maritime merchants who come here do business with the Lu family and add a little more money, the Lu family will be sent to the other side.
Everyone knows the dominance of the Lu family in the South China Sea, whether it is a foreign fan, a Japanese robber, or a thief pretended to be by the wealthy families, they are only tossing in the East China Sea, but they dare not go to the South China Sea to provoke the surname Lu, otherwise the Lu family will be able to chase and kill them for thousands of miles and sink their ships.
The prestige of several generations of the Lu family has made the fleet escorted by the Lu family army full of points in the safety index.
Coupled with the inspiration given by Qiu Yu, Qiongshan Port has specially established a trading hall for maritime merchants, an absolutely safe and credibility trading environment, resulting in even if Lu Ying offended a group of people by killing Qiongya Island, he did not lose much when he took over those businesses, and he made a lot of money.
After all, it is the scholars who have been driven away who can pull their relatives not to do business with the Qiongya Lu family, and other businessmen are very good.
When the Lu family was trying to digest the newly obtained benefits, Qiong Guogong, Xiao Lu Bu of the Yu Dynasty, the commander of the Zuo Qianjun, the peerless fierce man who really pulled out the tree to deter his subordinates, the criminal department member Wailang, the detective of the rivers and lakes, the descendant of the rain god, and the dependents of the frog, His Excellency Lu Xiaoxuan, finally rushed back to the capital.
