The ancestors of the prehistoric people, join the chat group at the beginning

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng waved his hand directly, and the image appeared on the light screen again.

Any pale words are not as powerful as the facts prove.

[In the world, is there really a dynasty (country) that does not require the people to pay taxes and does not require the people to bear corvee? 】

[The answer is, yes! 】

On the light curtain, two lines of words crackled.

winter!

The appearance of these two lines of characters is like a heavy hammer, which weighs heavily on the hearts of all emperors and hundreds of millions of people.

"How is it possible not to pay taxes? Then what do we eat?"

"No way, is there really such a dynasty?"

Countless civil and military officials couldn't believe it.

"My God, is that the legendary fairy world?"

"Hey, how is this possible? If we don't have to pay taxes, and don't have to bear corvee, then it's a dream life!"

"Wake up, don't dare to think like this in your dreams!"

The world of martial arts rumors, the world of gods and heroes, the world of swordsmen... Countless rivers and lakes are very excited.

"Could it be that our descendants created such a country? Don't the people have to be forced to ruin their families by the government's corvee and taxes?"

"Such a country is not much different from the paradise that the West talks about, right?"

During the Guangxu period, Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and other six gentlemen, when they saw this scene, they shed tears of excitement and anticipation.

Looking at these two lines of words, whether it is a civil and military official, or a knight in the rivers and lakes, as well as the common people at the bottom, all boiled.

Chapter 166

The faint light curtain is like a curtain, hanging above the sky, covering the sun, moon and stars.

Although the light curtain is not big, it is amazing that no matter where you are in the world, you can see it clearly.

Moreover, this light curtain did not appear in one world, but appeared in hundreds of worlds at the same time.

While beings from hundreds of worlds are discussing the title of the video, the video continues to play.

[Excuse me, how many bowls of rice did you eat today?are you full? 】

The image on the light curtain changed quietly, and along with the narration, a problem appeared.

Of course, this question is not for those who watch the video.

Immediately afterwards, a little boy appeared on the screen, facing everyone.

The child was wearing a white shirt and a bright red scarf.

"I ate two big bowls of rice at noon today, and I was full, not a single grain of rice wasted."

In the picture, the little boy wearing a red scarf replied proudly.

"how about you..."

The microphone appeared in front of another elementary school student.

"Three bowls!"

"Two bowls!"

"bowl!"

The picture kept changing, and elementary school students wearing red scarves were interviewed one by one, and with curiosity, proudly reported the amount of rice they ate at noon today.

These students come from all over the world, there are men and women, but every face is filled with confident smiles.

【Then do you know who made you full? 】

Immediately afterwards, the narrator asked the next question.

"I know, it's Grandpa Yuan!"

"Grandpa Yuan!"

"Grandpa Yuan!"

The elementary school students scrambled to answer proudly.

[Then can you recite a poem about saving food? 】

"Yes! At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil; who knows that every grain of the food on the plate is hard work!"

One, two, three... Countless primary school students recited neatly.

[Next, there is a live video of an ordinary rural primary school. 】

Afterwards, the screen quietly disappeared, and a line of words crackled on the pitch-black screen, accompanied by a narration.

【Jingle Bell...】

[In the campus, there was a burst of childlike reading sound...]

[In the neat and bright classroom, all the elementary school students are sitting upright, reading the contents of the textbook aloud...]

The narration let the audience know that this is a school, that is, a private school in their understanding.

Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed up.

Outside the school, there are endless fields.

The field is full of golden rice, and at a glance, it is golden.

When the lens is pressed down, it is enough to see that the ears of grain are full, and the grains are visible, bending the seedlings.

Farmers are driving the harvester and are harvesting rice.

Their faces are full of joy of harvest.

"The rice is so plump, it seems that this is a good harvest year!"

Looking at this scene, especially the stretches of rice fields, immediately aroused the amazement of many emperors.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born at the bottom, couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the rice fields and the full rice.

"Is this just a private school in the countryside? There are so many children going to school, and women can also go to school?"

Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, the common people were full of disbelief.

I say familiar because the picture shows the countryside, and they can find a familiar feeling from it.

Speaking of unfamiliarity, they have never seen the clean school and the harvested rice fields.

[Excuse me, do you know that from January next year, you will no longer have to pay public grain. The state has decided to completely exempt agricultural taxes? 】

As soon as the screen turned, a microphone appeared in front of the busy farmers in the farmland.

At the same time, the narration sounded.

After watching the video a few times, the audience knows that this is an interview with this farmer.

"Haha, of course I know, it's already been said on TV!"

Seeing the interview, the farmer with a cigarette in his mouth and a straw hat showed a simple and honest smile on his face, straightened his waist, and replied happily.

"Actually, we don't have to hand in food here for a long time!"

After taking a puff on the cigarette, the farmer continued, "Nowadays, my family's three-acre field can harvest more than 2000 catties of rice. After I don't need to pay for the grain, I can't finish it."

"This year's new grain is finished, and I'm going to sell the old grain left over from last year. Old rice doesn't taste good at all."

"Not only that, I also plan not to plant so much rice next year, and I can't finish it anyway."

"I'm going to grow some cash crops, such as peppers, cucumbers, etc. I can sell them if I can't finish them, so as to subsidize my family."

The farmer seems to have never been interviewed before, and he is a little shy facing the camera, but when he talks about it later, his simple and honest face is full of joy.

Yes, the agricultural tax is exempted.

This is something that has never happened in China for thousands of years.

Now, their generation is lucky enough to meet them.

"What? Their family's three acres of land actually harvested more than 2000 catties of rice?"

"He still wants to sell old rice, but he thinks that old rice is not tasty?"

"He still thinks that he won't grow so much food in the coming year..."

The simple words of the peasants, to the ears of the emperors, are so harsh, so Versailles.

It was more like a sledgehammer, hitting their hearts heavily.

In the world, is there really a dynasty (country) that does not need to pay grain (exempt from agricultural tax)?

The answer is yes, and it appears alive in front of them.

At this moment, the first reaction of many emperors was shock, disbelief, and...

Except for the emperors, all civil and military officials, and the common people all over the world were shocked, and then yearning.

They heard many things from the farmer's words.

What is the concept of harvesting two thousand catties of rice on three acres of land?

You know, in the feudal era, it was God's care that one mu of land could harvest three to four hundred catties of millet.

After all, at that time, whether the farmers had a good harvest or not depended entirely on whether God would provide them with food.

Now, the country and the farmer in the picture, he even said that three mu of land can harvest more than 2000 catties of rice.

In conversion, one mu of land is about [-] catties.

Damn, it's like a dream.

[How much public grain was collected last year? 】

[Responding to the words of the minister, by the end of the year, a total of more than 15 billion catties of grain had been harvested last year, with a converted value of 18 billion yuan. 】

While everyone watching the live broadcast was discussing, the picture on the light curtain quietly changed.

In the picture, an office appeared, and two people were having a conversation.

From the words of the two of them, it is not difficult to hear that these two are the tax officials in charge of grain collection in that country.

However, these words were heard in the ears of the audience, but they were like thunder falling from the nine heavens, blowing them all upside down.

What is the concept of 18 billion yuan, no matter whether it is the emperor, civil and military officials, or the common people in the world, they don't quite understand it, and they don't have that concept.

But 15 billion catties of grain, they all understand.

What is this concept?

Converted into the unit of measurement they are used to, one stone is about 120 catties.

Then this 15 billion catties is almost more than 1000 million stones.

Because they don't know the population of this country, it is difficult for many emperors and civil and military officials to calculate whether their taxes are high or low.

But in any case, so many grain taxes are exempted if they are said to be exempt.

How powerful a country must be to have such courage?

After all, if farmers are exempted from taxes, they have to make up for it from other places.

Otherwise, how should such a huge state apparatus operate?

[What about our tax collection costs? 】

[Tax collection costs... Last year, the expenditure has reached nearly 20 billion yuan, and the agricultural tax collected is not enough to pay the staff. 】

[In this way, there is no need to waste too much unnecessary waste...]

The screen continued, with a few short sentences and an explanation from the narration, the audience quickly understood.

"What... the cost of collecting taxes is already higher than the taxes collected? How is this possible..."

Datang's eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but exclaimed.
