Qin Zhanying quietly helped Xu Jing win the lawsuit, and at the same time, the whole Yu country implemented the land tax.

The poll tax is really difficult to collect, because in this way, ordinary people will really dare not have children, or throw away or drown in the dung pit after giving birth, Qin Zhanying's reluctance to go to the toilet outside is also left in this way, sometimes even the belt of his pants is not untied, as soon as he looks down, he sees a baby who has only been out of breath for a long time......

Even if the prince is naturally bold, he will be shocked out of nightmares!

And there is a disadvantage of the poll tax, that is, the money is collected according to the person, and if a person grows up to a certain age and has to pay taxes and serve servitude, those corrupt officials who can earn tens of thousands of taels a year only need to pay the same taxes as the people?

That is, to change the tax system and make the rich pay more taxes, what if people bury all the money in the cellar so that no one can find out? I copied a corrupt official before, and the silver was buried in the shade and wet all the year round, and it was all blackened!

The tax per acre is different, the amount of tax collected per mu of land is fixed, which makes the landlords have to pay more taxes, the burden of landless tenants will be much smaller, and the forced labor is also spread to the fields, although there are still loopholes to be drilled, at least it is also an improvement in the tax system.

Therefore, Xu Jing's matter dragged on for a long time, and the momentum was loud, and there was also Qin Zhanying's silent manipulation, the bigger the trouble, the more people were diverted, and everyone was busy arguing about Xu Jing's affairs, and there was less attention on the side of tax reform.

Some people noticed the tax change, but they were either interviewed by Emperor Cheng'an, or by Emperor Cheng'an's henchmen, and when Xu Jing came out of the yamen, the tax per mu was also changed and landed, and it was only maintained.

For the first time, Emperor Cheng'an felt that life was so easy, because the country's finances were so healthy for the first time, and there were more than 20 million taels left in it, at least this year he could sleep with peace of mind.

As a result, Qin Zhanying immediately found a large amount of expenses for him.

"Uncle, why don't we cure the water Gu, how about it?" One day, Qin Zhanying entered the palace with a spitting wine stone and mentioned the scourge of water Gu to Emperor Cheng'an.

In this world, it is not only smallpox that can harm the dead, although the water Gu is not as fierce as smallpox, but it is very widespread, the water system south of the Yangtze River is rich, and those farmers who make a living by planting rice, the probability of contracting water Gu is not ten percent but eighty percent.

Over time, Shui Gu has become a long and fierce epidemic, stretching for thousands of years on this ancient land, except for Lan Aluo, Lu Xiaoxuan, and Qin Zhanying, three people who have eaten grass and are immune to poisonous insects, water Gu, and miasma, the rest of the people have almost no resistance in the face of Shui Gu.

Until Qiu Yu said to Qin Zhanying: "I should have a way to solve the water Gu." ”

After 17 years, the medical student used all the medical chemistry knowledge in his stomach, plus sesame seeds, who made his cronies who were quite talented in chemical experiments, constantly soak in the laboratory, and finally let them make a tartar, an extremely primitive anthelmintic drug in the eyes of modern people.

Qin Zhanying: "The Spitting Tartar Stone has already been used by the prisoners in Zeguo Prison first, and it is indeed effective." ”

Emperor Cheng An was shocked: "Is there anyone else in the prison over there?" "Didn't Zeguo drag all the prisoners to build roads!

Moreover, with the speed of construction in these years, whether it is road construction or mining, the prisoners are not enough, which leads to the fact that the Ministry of Industry in Zeguo is more enthusiastic than the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in terms of arresting people.

Qin Zhanying: "...... There are also some prisoners who must be executed and are not eligible to join the road construction team. ”

Even if the law and order in Zeguo have improved a lot in recent years, there are still many people who are traitors and criminals, and there are still many people who commit heinous crimes, especially if the official group commits crimes, they will be severely punished, and the officials who are weak and weak will not be able to build roads well, and there is no point in entering the literacy class to reform, so it is just right to take them for drug tests.

He spread out a thick document in front of Emperor Cheng'an.

"Tartarite has been confirmed to be safe and usable, so it is best for both countries to promote it at the same time."

Emperor Cheng'an: "Hasn't it been promoted in Zeguo yet?" ”

Qin Zhanying: "No, they are waiting for us together, if every river is for Zeguo to go first, and Yuguo touches Zeguo's ass to cross the river, then what's the point of me changing my surname to Qin?" It's good to return directly to Shunze. ”

If Ze is allowed to take the lead in everything, running on the advanced broad road, and Yu is backward in everything, then the officials of Ze in the future are afraid that they will not be willing to come to work here in Yu, and it will also seem that Qin Zhanying's management ability is not as good as his own before the age of fourteen, how can he stand this!

But there is also a premise for this tarttar-spitting thing, that is, the price of this thing is expected to be the same price as cowpox, and it should be pressed to less than ten cents, so that the people can afford to grow it, but it can't be free, because the people's trust in the government is not high these days, let the people use the free tarttar-spitting stone, they will finish the worms, maybe they will think that the government wants to harm them.

Or is it more credible to buy something with money.

Emperor Cheng An was puzzled: "Is this thing cheap to make?" ”

Qin Zhanying: "It's not cheap, so the imperial court has to pay for the subsidy, and Ze has even prepared the budget and sent it over, and it is expected that each person will be subsidized fifty Wen." ”

He flipped the paperwork to the last page and pointed to the accountant's name.

[Jin Hongzhu, Zeguo Hubu Shilang, 450,000 taels of silver. 】

In the last census, the population of Zeguo was more than 9 million, and the subsidy per person was 50 wen, which is almost 450,000.

&n

bsp; After killing many local wealthy clans, pulling out the mountain people on the mountain and the hidden households under the wealthy clan, the population of Yu is 38 million.

Qin Zhanying showed Emperor Cheng'an the budget, and Yu had to subsidize 1.9 million taels to ensure that the price of Tutar Stone was beaten to ten wen.

Emperor Cheng'an took a deep breath, feeling that this figure was acceptable, and was about to nod his head, when he saw Qin Zhanying take out the propaganda plan again.

"To let the people accept the tarthal, lowering the price is part of it, and it is also necessary to match it with publicity, so that everyone knows that there is such a thing and the specific price, so as to prevent people from hoarding, buying in large quantities and then selling it to the people at a high price, there are always so many middlemen who are good at deceiving the simple people in this world, and they can't let them turn the benevolent government of the court into a disaster for the people."

This is also a budget, in view of the fact that the theater troupe in charge of propaganda has to write books and rehearse, and they have to pay for their creation, so that they can perform everywhere, not to mention going over the mountains and mountains into those poor and remote places where even the accent is from the previous dynasty, at least they have to go down to the counties and towns, right? You have to give people money, too, right?

"Of course, those poor and remote lands will be handed over to small caravans, and they will go around with salt, sugar, finished medicines, and other popular folk items." Qin Zhanying reported another number.

Emperor Cheng'an gritted his teeth: "Yes." ”

Qin Zhanying: "There are also embankment repairs, road construction, and army restructuring ...... this year."

The budget was reported, and for a while, Emperor Cheng'an began to congratulate himself that he had no children, if the children were adults, his son would have to pay at least 100,000 yuan for settling in, right? The daughter has to pay a dowry when she marries, but anyone who has children cannot afford these expenses.

But this money must be spent, and the road must be repaired, otherwise in the future, I want to issue a tax-free decree to a certain county and a town, I am afraid that the holy decree will arrive, and the messenger will be dying, and the army must be straightened out, otherwise the imperial power will be a dead letter.

Emperor Cheng'an pinched his nose and summoned the court officials to a meeting.

"Prince, you are in charge of this matter."

Qin Zhanying wanted to shirk it, he already had enough things at hand, and if these things were piled up on his hands, it would be ugly to say, but he was afraid that after the matter was done, half of the court would be his.

Emperor Cheng'an is only in his forties, and in the eyes of Qin Zhanying, who was born in the Lu family, this person will continue to be pampered in the palace for at least twenty years, and there is no need to transfer power in advance.

Otherwise, when the power of the prince's faction is too great, Qin Zhanying will also be pushed by the forces behind him to seize the throne...... He is a man, not a god, and as the founder and leader of a faction, he is always at risk of being pushed to do something by his elite generals.

Emperor Cheng'an made a final decision: "As far as the prince is in charge of this matter, if there is any doubt, I will come back to ask me." ”

was busy all the way to the Dragon Boat Festival, and the temperature suddenly rose violently, and the prince from Qiongya Island was killed in a wave.

Qin Zhanying came out of the yamen, almost fell to the ground, was supported by Meisha, put a wet towel around her neck, drank a few sips of water with ice cubes, and sent the person to Qiu Yu's mansion, took the iceberg and put it nearby.

Qin Zhanying was lying on the couch drinking mint tea, a little embarrassed, and when he was in a daze, he felt a cool breeze around him, and someone put a thin blanket on his abdomen.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall young man sitting on the edge of the collapse, fanning the wind with a folding fan, and the backpack containing his luggage was resting on the side.

The little prince got up suddenly: "When are you coming back?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he almost fell back again, and was grabbed by Qiu Yu by the collar, and the other arm went around his shoulder and helped Qin Zhanying to sit down.

Qiu Yu: "I came back today, I originally went to the border to plant pox, and I came back after planting, just to report on the battle situation and the information we spied on from Northern Meng." ”

Qin Zhanying: "I have asked for credit for you, you have the position of a general in the border army, so I am curious why you came back in person?" ”

This kind of information reporting, can't the people of Baiwenfang do it?

Qiu Yu was speechless for a while, and when he saw the young man looking at him persistently, he opened his eyes.

"Not worried about you yet? After so long to see you again, I found that you were on the couch, which was also strange, your hometown was much hotter than the capital, and you didn't have a heat stroke there. ”

Qin Zhanying: "There is no wind in the capital, but there is a sea breeze blowing at any time on Qiongya Island, which is very refreshing." ”

Qiu Yu poured him a cup of herbal tea: "You will feel that the seaside is so heavy that there are water beads on the skin is refreshing, and you will have to go further north in the future, where the summer is much cooler." ”

After saying this, the two were relatively speechless for a while, Qin Zhanying looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "The water Gu you gave me, the imperial court has already begun to push." ”

Qiu Yu: "I know. ”

Qin Zhanying smiled: "Do you want to go and see it with me?" ”

He is a character who says he will go, and he is about to leave when he slides out of bed, but he is held down by Qiu Yu.

The two-meter body pressed slightly, and as soon as his hands exerted force, he let Qin Zhanying lie back, but Qiu Yu was very gentlemanly, and when he was sure that Qin Zhanying was lying down, he put a blanket on him.

"You rest first, I'll go to the palace to see the emperor, and I'll come back to see you when I'm done, so I've done the emperor's royal walk, and I should catch up with my old boss when I come back." ：，，.
