Chapter 326: Master Yu, do you want to be rich and noble?
In the Tongzhou Palace, Qin Maocai stood on the high platform with some embarrassment.
After all, how could there be two succession ceremonies held in seven days, but Qin Yun gave an order, he still stepped onto the high platform and arched his hand.
"Thank you for coming to participate in the succession ceremony of this king, all of you are famous in Tongzhou, I believe that with the joint efforts of you, my Tongzhou will get better and better!"
"Next, I would like to invite His Royal Highness King Liang to give a speech for everyone."
Qin Maocai finished reciting the speech given by Qin Yun in one gulp, and stepped down from the stage, and the heads of the Tongzhou family looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard such a speech.
Qin Yun walked up to the high platform and coughed lightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king will briefly talk about it!"
"First of all, this king thanks you for coming to participate in the kick-off meeting of the Tongzhou Juntian tax system in your busy schedule, you can come, you must be ready to fully support the work of this king!"
Everyone looked at each other, isn't this the succession ceremony of King Tongzhou? Why did it suddenly turn sour? Qin Yun ignored everyone's facial micro-expressions and continued to say to himself.
"The tax system of equal land, as the name suggests, is to pay taxes according to the land held per capita, do you think that this is exploiting and oppressing you?"
"Wrong, big mistake and very wrong. Taxation is the foundation of a country, if there is no tax, there is no treasury silver, the imperial court has no money, how to allocate funds for disaster relief, how to recruit troops to resist the invasion of foreign enemies? ”
"But over the years, the more taxes the court levied on you, the more miserable the people were, which is why there is this tax system. At first glance, your interests may be damaged in the short term, but in the long run, you can become the profiteers. ”
"The following are the specific details of the Junda tax system......
Qin Yun was in Shangbalabala, and the people below listened dizzily, until Qin Yun's voice suddenly rose one degree.
"So, you will support this king and the court, right?"
All the families looked at each other, and they all looked at the representatives of the Yuan family.
An elder of the Yuan family got up and said: "What the prince said, we will give our full support, but my Yuan family does not have much land, and even if there is, it has already been distributed to the family to have children, but it is a pity that this year is not good, and the fields of the family children do not produce food!" ”
"The prince wants to forcibly levy taxes, and we have nothing to say, after all, it is all for the court, for the Great Xia! But I ask the prince to give those families a way to live, and a way to live for the people of Tongzhou! ”
The heads of the family also began to cry: "Yes, Lord Wang, the Luochuan military disaster, I don't know how many homeless people have rushed into my Tongzhou, some homeless people regardless of whether the crops are ripe or not, directly went to the field to spoil the grain, seeing that this autumn harvest is over, my family's fields are also out of production, and we have to pay grain subsidies to tenants." ”
"In previous years, if we encountered such a thing, the imperial court would also reduce or exempt our taxes, but this year, why do we have to suffer these poor people!"
"We will definitely pay this tax, but I beg the prince to leave a way for our whole family to live!"
Can you imagine that the landlords and lords dressed in splendid clothes and wearing gold and jade are crying poor in front of you? Can you imagine a cat crying for a mouse and sticking to a tenant?
Anyway, Qin Yun only felt disgusted when he saw this scene.
Qin Yun chuckled: "Your difficulties are understood by this king, so there is this holy decree to rent land." You have more than 100 catties of grain per mu of land every year, and you can get no more than 50 catties of grain if you throw away tenants, farm tools, and grain seeds, right? ”
"This king generously gave you eighty catties of one acre of land, why, I heard that some people are still not satisfied?"
"Today, I will call everyone here, first, to tell you that sooner or later the tax system will be implemented, and if you feel that you can't pay the tax, this king will not force it, rent the land to the imperial court, and receive grain on time every year."
"This king has offered such generous conditions, you are so twisted and pinched, why do you not believe in this king, or do you not believe in the holy decree of the court? Or, are you harboring evil intentions to learn from the Xiao family's rebellion? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts beat drums.
With a big stick in one hand and a turnip in the other, I ask you if you accept it?
Qin Yun's gaze swept over all the landlords present, and finally landed on an old man.
That person was Yu Shuihuan, the head of the Yu family who came from Yuzhou.
"Lord Shengming, the old man also wants to rent the family's land to the imperial court, but it's a pity that the old man is in Yuzhou, and you Tongzhou people don't know how to be blessed in the blessings!"
Everyone looked over, what do you mean, there is a person from the Yuzhou family in the Tongzhou family?
In particular, the representative of the Yuan family had a pale face.
Qin Yun said with a smile: "Old Master Yu, you can see it thoroughly, this group of people really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, it seems that they are ready to fight this king to the end!" ”
"Today, this king made it clear, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, either pay taxes honestly according to the tax system of Juntian, or rent the land to the imperial court, otherwise this king will not have such a patient preaching to you today!"
"Okay, everyone has eaten tea, listened to the song, and dispersed! By the way, I know that some of you want to cooperate with him, but he is afraid of reprisals afterwards. ”
"This king hereby promises, whether it is renting land or paying taxes, you can come to this king alone, the first ten tenants add an additional 20 catties of grain per mu, and the first 30 tenants add 10 catties per mu, first come, first served!"
"Qin Maocai sent off guests!"
King Tongzhou stepped forward mechanically.
"Everyone, please!"
A group of people look at each other, and that's gone? They only drank a few bowls of tea, and they didn't even eat meat.
The representative of the Yuan family snorted lightly and turned away.
Some representatives of medium-sized families hesitated a little and got up and left, but some small landlords, they were quite excited, they knew that it was impossible to resist the imperial court.
Following the rebellion of the Yuan family, the risk is too great, the benefit is too small, it is better to take the benefits first.
A few small landlords were left to the end.
"Lord Wang, I'm willing to rent it!"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "Come on, take these family heads down to sign the contract, by the way, we will have a dinner later, and this king will invite everyone to eat barbecue!" ”
Several family owners were terrified and expectant, they had already heard the name of King Liang's barbecue. It is said that King Liang's barbecue is so fragrant! Shen Shangshu in the capital showed off whenever he met people, and this was all spread to Tongzhou.
After a few people left, Qin Yun came to Yu Shuihuan, who respectfully saluted.
"Master Yu, if you can come, you should understand what this king means, there is a splash of wealth for your Yu family, do you want it or not?"
Yu Shuihuan bowed down and said: "The old man only wants to protect the Yu family's business from being swallowed up by the Yuan family!" ”
Qin Yun shook his head: "It's small, the pattern is small, why can't the Yu family become the next Wuwang?" You don't see, how the Yuan family rose back then! ”
Yu Shuihuan said goodbye: "The old man is willing to fully support King Liang!" ”
Qin Yun smiled: "Master Yu, it's not a question of whether you want to or not, but you only have this one choice!" Someday, though, you'll find that today is the time for the gears of your destiny to turn! ”
Cog, fate? Yu Shuihuan heard it in a fog.
Qin Yun threw down a piece of paper.
"This is a new colorful dye formula, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all of them, this king has only one request, half a month, this king wants to see the Yuan family dyeing workshop go out of business!"
Yu Shuihuan held the formula in his hand, he couldn't believe it, was it true? Of course, he wouldn't think that Qin Yun had called him all the way to tease him.
"Little Lao'er, thank you His Royal Highness King Liang, after this time, seventy percent of the income of the Yu Family Dyeing Workshop will belong to His Royal Highness!"
Qin Yun smiled: "No need, in the future, this king will be in Qiongzhou, and it will be indispensable to trouble your Yu family, but you have to remember that this king can give you this wealth and wealth, and you can take it back at any time!" ”
"Yes! Villains remember. ”
