A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Most wealthy households have good intentions, and they would agree with the draft exemption law. However, some wealthy households feel that this is taking away their own benefits. Why should a certain person's money be spent on those people?"

The vernacular here was used very casually. The scholar's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed the insulting sigh and continued to read: "What is a country? The country is composed of countless people in the Han, Tang, and Da Song Dynasty. Every common person in this family, officials and prime ministers must take care of them, otherwise they will be derelict in their duties.

The rich are the rich children of this family, so the officials ask them to give them more living expenses..."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Living expenses, that's a good idea."

"Quiet!" The storyteller patted the table dissatisfiedly, "The extra living allowance they gave was given to the poor children by the government, so that this country can be happy. Do you understand this?"

"Understood!" A man said: "The exemption law means that the government collects more taxes from the rich and then subsidizes it to poor people like us. They say it is a bad law because they refuse to pay."

The storyteller smiled and said: "This is exactly the reason. But it is also said here that some local officials are very open-minded and collect money from rich households. There are rules for this. How much your family's property is, there is verification for this. You have to ask the neighbors to make an assessment. If your exemption money is overcharged, just file a complaint. If the government doesn't respond, just wait until the inspection censor comes to file a complaint. Then even the government will be in trouble."

"good!"

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly made friends.

The atmosphere is very lively!

Someone raised their hand: "I'm so happy! Let's get some wine!"

"Here you go!" The waiter happily brought the wine and food, which was considered a benefit of the tea house.

"The other one is that rich people collude with the government to evade military service money. When everyone knows about it, just report it. Once it is verified, everything will be dealt with severely."

Everyone was overjoyed, and someone said: "I didn't know what this exemption law was like before. Fortunately, there is this tabloid."

The storyteller was ready to go out after reading the newspaper. As soon as he came down, the servant from before rushed in and said with a joyful face: "Thank you sir, that man panicked when someone asked him. Someone said that every year in the court, There was a subsidy, why did Meishan say there was no money? He looked a little panicked and said he probably forgot, and then gave the money to a certain person, thank you sir."

The storyteller said happily: "Whatever you want to thank someone for, you have to thank the official."

The servant knelt down and kowtowed devoutly in the direction of Bianliang, "Long live the official family!"

"Long live the official family!"

The atmosphere in the teahouse was solemn.

A tea guest had been recording something. Later, he sorted out the words in today's teahouse and sent them to a certain place. There, he collected the news from everywhere and sent them to Chengdu Fulu Road. Finally, he was sent all the way. Go to Bianliang Imperial City Division.

The storyteller went to the countryside the next day.

He went all the way to the village. When a village elder saw him, he asked everyone to come out.

"Listen to the important events in the court, as well as the miscellaneous studies, and the inertia mentioned last time. I have memorized them all."

Everyone in the village squatted in the village's mill-drying field, and only the teacher got stools and tea.

"Listen up."

The gentleman is talking, and the only literate villager below is recording the key points.

"...This exemption money is money that prevents you from serving in the military. Rich people don't have to pay it. Anyone who dares to collect it can just file a complaint."

"You really don't want to pay? You won't pay anymore?" The village elder squatted there, feeling unreliable. "In which dynasties and generations have things not done by the farmers? Those rich households are squatting at home eating meat and playing with women. Woolen cloth!"

The storyteller raised the newspaper in his hand, "Do you know who wrote this Beimang newspaper? Mr. Han!"

"It's Mr. Han! That's right."

"Do you know who created this Beimang newspaper? Duke Shen!"

"Ah! It's Duke Shen! Then he didn't run away."

"Shut up!" the village elder scolded: "Sir, you have to continue talking! Don't waste time, that... Madam of the Li family, go home and get a bowl of soup cakes, and moisten your throat later."

The gentleman's head was full of black lines and he continued to read: "...the law of exemption from military service..."

Not only him, but the three storytellers from Meishan are wandering around now, reading newspapers everywhere they go.

They only read the serious things and discard all the gossip, so they read very quickly.

Later, when he finished reciting, the village elder stood up and said, "Officials are good officials. Come and kowtow with me."

Everyone kowtowed, and the village elder stood up and said: "Some people said a while ago that we will have to collect our exemption money in the future. I thought it was true, but when the Beimang newspaper said it, I understood that someone was co-authoring it. Spreading rumors, what do they want to do?”

Just when the storyteller was about to explain, the village elder said disdainfully: "I don't know much in my life, but I know that this person's heart is very evil! What are those people doing by spreading rumors? Don't they just want us to oppose this exemption law?

If we oppose this free money, then the whole world will oppose it, and then the officials in the capital will probably be desperate..."

"I can't say I'm desperate." The husband was really speechless and felt that the old man was speaking freely.

"What are you afraid of?" the village elder said: "Those people just want to abolish the exemption law! Then it will be like before, and we will be allowed to serve. After listening to what my husband said today, I understand the exemption law. Anyone who dares to spread rumors in the future will be beaten to death and buried at the entrance of the village!"

So murderous!

The gentleman looked at those strong men who looked like they were taking it for granted, and when he thought of some rumors, he couldn't help but shiver down his spine.

In a remote place like this, the village elder is the law. God knows how many people will be killed and buried.

"Sir, take it!" the village elder took out ten copper coins, "It's a little short, but I can't let you go on such a trip in vain."

The husband declined for a while, but finally accepted it.

After he left, a villager said: "Then the gentleman said he wouldn't charge any money!"

The village elder pouted at him and cursed: "Idiot! That's a lie. He came here on a donkey from the city. If the man doesn't eat, the donkey must eat too. Where does the food come from? Even if someone gives money , but if we want him to devote himself to reading the newspaper, we have to give him benefits. Remember, don’t think about people giving you benefits these days, otherwise the benefits will not last. "

My husband goes to read the newspaper all the way, and there is always a man behind him. The two of us have a tacit understanding that you read the newspaper and I take notes on the side.

The information was quickly summarized and then brought to Bianliang.

…

"This is news from Chengdu Fulu!"

The Imperial City Department is now in a lot of trouble because of the Beimang News. After gathering the news from various places, everyone has to judge the value of the news and then send the most valuable news to Zhang Baibian.

Zhang Baibian read today's news, then looked at the sky, "I will enter the palace right now."

It was still early and Zhao Shu had just started to have breakfast.

"Say it."

His time was tight, and Zhang Baibian had to report the news at this time.

"In the news from Fulu, Chengdu, Beimang Newspaper clearly explained the exemption law. Local people reported more than 50 cases based on this. Some people embezzled the exemption money, and some rich families colluded with officials and refused to pay... There are still many people spreading rumors, saying that the exemption law is a bad law and that people will be asked to pay money in the future..."

"This is to intimidate the people and make them fear the exemption law. Then they continue to make noises, and the exemption law becomes a vicious law that everyone calls for beatings." Zhao Shu put down his chopsticks: "This method is disgusting! Investigate it strictly!"

"Yes." Seeing that he was angry, Zhang Bianba quickly told him the good news, "After the people everywhere knew the details of the exemption law, they all shouted long live the official family!"

Zhao Shu picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Because of the New Deal, those people said that I am a tyrant. But also because of the New Deal, the people said that I am wise, and I was happy to hear that."

When he was in a good mood, he had a good appetite. Even after eating a bowl of soup cakes, he made two mutton steamed buns to eat.

Chen Zhongheng's eyes twitched when he saw it, "Guanjia, these mutton buns... those clothes..."

When Zhao Shu got up and put on his clothes, he found that he had gained weight and was much tighter, so he said sadly that he should eat less.

Zhao Shu was startled and sighed: "That's all, just eat one."

After breakfast, Zhao Shu went to Chaozhong.

"Your Majesty, the inspection censor reported 70% more cases this month. Most of them were reported by ordinary people."

Han Qi went out of work to talk about the matter.

Zhao Shu nodded, "This shows that it is a good thing to keep the Beimang Newspaper. In the past, the people had no information and could only be manipulated by those people. Now with the Beimang Newspaper and those storytellers, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net people can also I know what is going on in the court, and I know how hard you have worked for the officials."

Zhao Shu nodded, "I heard that some people were worried and said that the country would not be able to conquer the country, but I know that the Song Dynasty is booming. Han Qing of the Third Division said that this year's momentum is excellent, and the balance of money and food will be even greater. I didn't add it. Tax, why is there so much money and food? This is the general trend of the world pushing the country forward.

The more businessmen make money, the more taxes they pay. The people are harvesting more and more food, so they have to pay more food... And over there on Yanshan Road, although it is still tax-free this year, the north has lost a lot of troops and deployments, and the three divisions have also lost a lot. overhead.

When Yanshan Road starts paying taxes, the money and grain of the Third Division will be even greater. "

"yes!"

The prime ministers and assistants all looked forward to it.

"When the Liao Kingdom is destroyed again, I'm thinking about what the Song Dynasty will look like."

Zhao Shu said confidently: "The Song Dynasty has been bullied for a hundred years, and today it can be considered proud. I just wait for the money and grain to fill the warehouse. At that time... I also want to talk to my ancestors and ask them, is this a prosperous age? "

The ministers couldn't help but laugh.

"The official family is already in a prosperous age!" Han Qi said with a smile: "The Song Dynasty is now strong and the Liao Kingdom is in panic. This is not a prosperous age, so what is a prosperous age?"

Zhao Shu shook his head, "The Liao people have bullied the Central Plains for more than a hundred years. If we don't destroy them, how can we call it a prosperous age? I won't be able to see my ancestors even if I die!"

Everyone quickly bowed in response.

"The Liao Kingdom needs to keep an eye on it, I'm thinking! As soon as the navy returns, if there is good news, the Song Dynasty will wipe out the Liao Kingdom!"

He couldn't help but stand up and look at the spring scenery outside, "This prosperous age will eventually come. This is the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty. I have no doubt about it!"
