Chapter 324: Great Light Sect, Ninety Percent Tax

......

Dajin, the first year of the republic, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Tian was accompanying his wife and children in the backyard of the palace, and Mu Nianci and Wan Yanfu were also there. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Suddenly, a white dove circled and flew down.

Lin Tian looked at the secret letter carried by the carrier pigeon, and suddenly said, "I'll go out for a while!"

Zhongdu, Peach Blossom Pavilion, a stronghold of Mingjiao.

A certain room.

Lin Tiandao: "Ni Right Envoy, you are in such a hurry to find me, what is the urgent matter?"

Neon took out a silk silk and handed it over.

Lin Tian saw it, and his expression suddenly sank.

Western Regions Kingdoms...... Finished!

Two and a half months ago, the Mongols, led by Temujin, had already won a decisive victory!!

After the westward expedition, Temujin will expand eastward!

Lin Tian's heart froze, and he said secretly: "The real challenge is coming!"

However, although he was afraid of Temujin in his heart, he was not afraid!

As for the reason for not being afraid, one is that with his martial arts cultivation, it is easy to save his life, and the other is that the national strength of Dajin, which has a population of more than 50 million, is actually far stronger than that of Mongolia!

It's just that since he came to power, in order to stabilize the situation, he has not interfered in civil affairs except for attaching importance to the grasp of military power!

But to fight against Temujin and against the Mongols, it is not enough to rely on the army alone, but the real reliance is on the people!

Since he took charge of the army, he has been resolute and resolute, dismissing the old, weak, sick and disabled, and recruiting new soldiers, the vast majority of whom are Han Chinese.

In the past, the soldiers of the Jin State HX army were basically Jurchens, and the Han people who entered the army could only engage in clerical or logistical things.

If you want to capture the hearts of the people and make use of the power of the people, you must allow the people to benefit and let them get benefits from the court, and they will naturally support the court, and whoever destroys their interests, they will naturally resist!

The Mongol invasion will inevitably harm the interests of the people and will inevitably provoke the people to resist, but this alone is not enough!

The people in the agricultural civilization are not as good as those in the animal husbandry civilization in terms of individual physique, so it is necessary to enhance the strength of the people!!

And the way to do it is ......

Lin Tian looked at the neon and suddenly said, "That thing, you can do it!"

When Neon heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed: "Subordinates obey orders!"

On the sixteenth day of the first month, there are seven mysterious white-clothed disciples outside the central capital, please see the prefect of Yanjing Mansion, the soldiers guarding the city are half escorted and half sent to the mansion, see the prefect, offer the "divine fruit", and say that the magic of the divine fruit can support the people of the world!

The prefect Chen Mu was suspicious and asked who he was, and the believers said: "We are the people of the Great Light Sect, offering the fruit of the gods, and only asking for grace to build a temple and establish a religion." ”

Chen Mu told Yuan Xiangzhi about this, Yuan Tai heard about it, saw the disciples, and asked about the matter, and the disciples said: "The yield of this divine fruit per mu is at least forty stones (according to the Song system, one stone is about 118.4 catties, here it is simplified, take 1 stone = 100 catties)!"

When Yuan Tai heard this, where would he believe it, you must know that in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain per mu is only two or three stones, so he thought that what the believers said must be false and fallacious, and the Great Light Sect must be an evil sect!

This Great Light Sect is really a false name for the Ming Sect.

Ni Neon was speechless when she knew the news, but she didn't expect it to be like this, so she reported it to Lin Tianzhi.

When Lin Tian heard this, he was also speechless, and ordered someone to invite Yuan Tai.

Yuan Tai heard about it, and somehow, he entered the Qinzheng Palace and saw the King of Qin.

Lin Tian invited him to take a seat.

Yuan Tai said: "The edict of the King of Qin is here, I don't know what to order?"

Yuan Tai nominally co-ruled the country with Lin Tian, but in fact, Yuan Tai surrendered his posture and acted in a low-key manner.

Lin Tian got straight to the point and said, "This king heard that someone came to offer the divine fruit just now, saying that he could produce forty stones per mu?"

When Yuan Tai heard this, he was taken aback!

This matter has not passed for a moment, it is a trivial matter, and it has not been written in the book province, but it has already entered the ears of King Qin, which can be seen ...... Visible...... King Qin's ears and eyes are terrifying!

Yuan Tai said: "There is indeed such a thing, but King Qin, according to this official, this is pure nonsense!"

Lin Tiandao: "How can you see it?"

Yuan Tai then said confidently: "In the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the yield per mu is only two to three stones, and what divine fruit can produce forty stones per mu, it is obviously fake!"

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Reasonable!" Suddenly the conversation changed and asked, "But, what if it's true?"

Yuan Tai was stunned and said, "How can it be true?"

Lin Tian's eyes stared at him, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said, "This king said hypothetical!"

Hypothesis......

If that's true......

The yield per mu is at least forty stones......

Of course, Yuan Tai would not believe this assumption in his heart, but he was stared at by Lin Tian's dissatisfied gaze, and said with a sigh on his back: "If it is true, then ...... Rule...... then the world ...... No more hungry people!"

Lin Tiandao: "Not only can there be no more hungry people, but also more people!" He suddenly stopped and ordered the rest of the hall to go out, leaving only him and Yuan Tai.

Yuan Tai was puzzled in his heart, not knowing what he was going to do.

Lin Tian looked at him and said, "Yuan Xiang, now the situation in the Jin Kingdom, you must also understand it in your heart, right?"

Yuan Tai was shocked and said, "King Qin...... What does that mean?"

The corners of Lin Tian's mouth hooked, and he said: "There are only you and me here, there are no outsiders, so you don't have to be so aggressive." ”

Yuan Tai smiled.

Lin Tianyu said: "This world, originally belonged to Chai Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe, won the world, built Zhao Song, and later the Jurchen invaded the south, and took half of the Zhao and Song dynasties, hehe, you fight for me, and now ......" He didn't say, he looked at Yuan Tai.

Yuan Tai suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and his heart was thumping violently, what is happening now? Now the Jin Kingdom is actually in the hands of King Qin!

“...... King Qin is wise!"

There is a cloud in the art of war: "In all the art of using soldiers, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; the whole army is the first, and the army is second!"

Lin Tianquan is in charge of the power of the Jin Kingdom, and he is almost bloodless, and he is indeed extremely wise!

Yuan Tai said secretly: "Now the little emperor is young and can't be in power, but it seems that the king of Qin ...... I really have the ambition to be the emperor!"

Yuan Tai realized this, and secretly said in his heart: "This has to be notified to the family!"

"Wise?hehe~" Lin Tian chuckled lightly, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Yuan Xiang, you and I are both Han people, there are several roads in the northeast, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it has never been my Han land......"

Yuan Tai's age is one round older than Lin Tian, in terms of age, he is an elder, but he was criticized by the younger Lin Tian, although he was criticized, but he was convinced! More importantly, Lin Tian revealed his ambition to him, which made his heart stir slightly!

"Divine fruit, whether it can produce forty stones per mu, this king can't judge in vain!"

"Yuan Xiang, if you think it's incredible, you don't recognize it, and you make judgments in vain, this is not right!"

"What if it's true? This sin is great, a sin that cannot be washed away for thousands of years!"

"According to this king's view, we can get a piece of land first, let the disciples of the Great Light Sect plant one, we have to monitor it, so as not to make them mess with it, if it is true, then it is very good, the merit is in the future, their request, I think they can agree, if it is fake, then it should be killed!"

"Well, in short, practice brings true knowledge, you have to plant one, take a look, and then make a judgment!"

“......”

Soon, the disciples who were locked in the cell were released again, and Yuan Tai handed over the [trial planting matter] to Chen Mu to do.

That night, Yuan Tai wrote a secret letter in the study and informed the family of Lin Tianzhi's ambition!

Yuan Buqi, the head of the Yuan family in Hejian, was convinced, and muttered: "Do you want to change the dynasty?" and went to tell the grandfather Yuan Bowen again!

Master Yuan Bowen read the letter, knew about it, and said: "No matter how the situation changes, my Yuan family needs to remember the ancestral teachings!"

The head of the family, Yuan Buqi, said: "Yes!"

The ancestor of the Yuan family, apart from [not being the first], what else is there?

Not long after Yuan Buqi left, in the courtyard of the grandfather, a black shadow flew out, and he was very clever in his light skills, and in this person's arms, there was a letter from the grandfather!

A few days later. This man arrived in Yudi (Henan).

There is a martial arts family Yuan family that has been inherited for thousands of years.

Are these two Yuan families related?

End of May.

In the west of the central capital, next to a certain field.

Lin Tian, Yuan Tai, and the six Shangshu were all there, and they all looked at Tanaka with a stunned look!

In the field, several farmers are digging carefully, exclaiming from time to time.

Yuan Tai trembled and walked into the field, picked up a piece of divine fruit, tossed it in his hand, and said in shock, "It seems that this mu yields ...... Can there really be ...... There can be forty stones!"

The officials, like him, were already stunned, and who could believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes?

Suddenly, Yuan Tai walked in front of Lin Tian, bent his knees, knelt down, and said, "King Qin, this official pleads!"

The officials were shocked. Lin Tian also looked shocked, hurriedly helped Yuan Tai up, and said, "Yuan Xiang, how is this?"

Yuan Tai said: "If it weren't for the King of Qin, this official would have become a sinner for the ages!"

The officials were puzzled. Yuan Tai then told the events of that day. Only then did the officials know that there were such twists and turns in it!

All the officials praised the King of Qin for his wisdom, if it weren't for the King of Qin, he would have missed this divine fruit!

Lin Tian laughed, summoned those Great Light Sect disciples, and asked, "How can you eat this divine fruit?"

The leader of the sect said: "Back to King Qin, this divine fruit can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food!"

Lin Tiandao: "Oh?

The leader of the cultists said, "It can be dried and ground into flour." ”

Lin Tian was overjoyed and said, "Very good!"

All the officials were overjoyed.

Lin Tiandao: "How much of this divine fruit do you have?"

The leader of the cultists said, "Well, a lot. ”

Lin Tian frowned and said, "How much is a lot?"

The leader of the cultists looked respectful, but did not answer.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Are you afraid of this king's forcible occupation?"

The leader of the cultists said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Lin Tiandao: "This king is true to his word, as long as you offer the divine fruit, Dajin everywhere will allow you to build a religion and preach!"

When the leader of the sect heard this, he was so overjoyed that he actually knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you King Qin!" The other six disciples who were with him also fell down on one knee.

Lin Tian let them get up and said with a smile: "You are allowed to preach, but you must also abide by the laws of our country, and you must not violate them, otherwise you will not be merciful!"

The leader of the cultists agreed, saying, "Naturally, naturally. ”

Lin Tian summoned the Ministry of Rites and instructed him to examine the doctrine of the Great Light Sect first, and the Ministry of Rites received the order, and those disciples had no objections.

Half a month later, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu played a chapter, saying that the teachings of the Great Light Sect are mostly in line with the three schools of Confucianism and Taoism, and there is nothing to be left behind.

The imperial court then officially issued a document allowing the Great Light Sect to preach, and the Great Light Sect then offered all the divine fruits!

The existence of the divine fruit gradually spread through the mouths of those farmers who helped dig it.

When the people heard about it, they didn't believe it just like Yuan Tai heard it for the first time!!

This so-called divine fruit is the sweet potato.

After Lin Tian got the sweet potato, he began to breed it secretly, and it has not leaked out, and the quantity is enough at this time to be widely planted.

However, he was a selfish man, and he didn't want this divine fruit to go to other countries - whether it was Western Xia or Song!

Because, the Jin Kingdom is his, but the Western Xia and Song Kingdoms are not!

Lin Tian was in the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Yuan Tai, and Hubu Shangshu came, and the three of them discussed how to keep it secret, this matter is indeed very important!

In the end, a solution was obtained: the official control of seeds, seedlings, and then let the people plant, after maturity, the people are not allowed to keep the seeds, they must be ground into flour, and those who violate the order will be punished!

Lin Tianxin said that this method was really too domineering, and then nodded in agreement!

Seven days later, the draft of the Penal Law was completed.

Lin Tian was dumbfounded when he saw it! According to the provisions of this law, if the people planted one acre of divine fruit, if they got forty stones, the result would be ...... Ninety percent of them have to pay taxes! And those who break the law will be killed with a stick at the lightest, and Ling Chi will be late at the worst, and there will be no way to survive at all!

"!~" Lin Tian scolded in his heart, this is too shameless and arrogant!

So he called Lu De, the secretary of the criminal department.

Lu Dezhi saluted, Lin Tian ordered to take a seat, and Lu De was flattered and sat down.

Lin Tian's face was not very good, and he said, "Lord Lu, your name is Lu De, but this king looks at you very unvirtuous!"

Lu De was shocked and hurriedly stood up, "The minister is frightened, I don't understand the meaning of the prince!!" Facing Lin Tian, the king of Qin, he felt more terrible than facing Wanyan Xingsheng, who had been in charge of the imperial power for decades!

Lin Tian threw the draft law, smashed it on him, and landed at his feet, of course, he didn't use internal force, otherwise he would die, and said, "See for yourself!"

Lu De picked it up in a panic, looked at it, was at a loss in his heart, and said secretly: "There is nothing wrong!"

Lin Tiandao: "Do you understand?!"

Lu De said: "Lord Wang, forgive the foolishness of the ministers, this ...... This...... What's wrong with this? Please ask the prince to solve his doubts. ”

Lin Tian glared and shouted, "You still don't know what's wrong?!"

Lu De's heart trembled, and he involuntarily knelt down.

Lin Tiandao: "The people have worked hard to plant an acre of land, and you actually want people to pay taxes for ninety percent, don't you feel cruel? Who else do you say wants to plant?"

Lu De looked confused, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said hesitantly: "This...... This one...... King Qin doesn't have to worry, the people ...... I will still plant it!"

Lin Tian scolded loudly: "You think the people are fools, this king sees you as a fool!"

Lu De was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Although this tax is ...... It's a little higher......"

Lin Tian didn't come anywhere, and shouted: "Ninety percent is a little higher, you are a big official, you are glorious and rich, it is really easy to say!"
