After all, it should come.

For a long time, Huang County has faced three major difficulties.One is the ravages of bandits and pirates, the other is the exploitation of officials and powerful families, and the third is the taxation of the court.

When the Daqing court was first established, the land tax was [-] and the tax was [-]. Up to now, although it is said that the tax is [-] and the tax is [-], but in fact, after heavy exploitation, it has been increased to [-] and the tax is more than [-]. In some places, it has even been as heavy as Ten and tax five or more.

According to the system of the Daqing Dynasty, every Dingkou who has reached the age of 20 will be granted between [-] and [-] mu of land by the imperial court. A family of five can get about [-] mu of land. In theory, these lands can support a family.

However, in fact, in order to celebrate the Han system, the land granted to the people was not limited to use and trading. The people often sold the land to meet their temporary needs, thus breeding and intensifying land mergers, making the rich richer and the poor richer. poverty.

What's more, under the manipulation of many officials and wealthy families, many ordinary people were not granted land at all, but had to pay land taxes.

In addition to these land taxes, adults between the ages of 15 and 56 and capable of working need to pay the imperial court about 120 yuan a year, while children and adolescents between the ages of seven and 14 also need Each person pays more than 40 yuan a year.

The people of the Daqing Dynasty, in addition to bearing these land taxes, taxes, and money, men between the ages of 23 and 56 had to serve in the military for two years, one year in their own group, and one year in the border or imperial palace. city ​​service.

In addition to military service, men over the age of 20 also need to perform hard labor for one month every year, either patrolling the village or repairing canals and auxiliary roads.

These services are all free of charge. The imperial court does not give any salary or compensation, and even the board and lodging have to be borne by themselves. If they refuse to serve, they need to pay an additional service tax to the imperial court.

Therefore, in the eyes of the common people, it is really a great act of kindness for people like Bai Su to pay his own wages to build roads for the county.It is precisely because of this that Bai Su, who does not have any official positions or military achievements, can be as popular as Chuning and win support.

Although Chu Ning has been in this world for nearly half a year, she still has only a half-knowledge of the Daqing court's taxation system. Now that she has been traveling all the way, hearing Feng Jiuqing's explanation, she can't help shaking her heart, and said in amazement: "Except for Tian Rent, tax calculation, money, military service, corvee service... Even hunting in the mountains and fishing in the sea have to pay taxes to the Shaofu?"

No wonder Chu Ning was shocked. She never expected that the imperial court has now reached such a level of excessive taxation. Not only the imperial court's chief minister of agriculture collects taxes, but even the emperor's young mansion also collects taxes. Eating a full stomach is simply a miracle.

"If it weren't for this, how could the people of the world be living in such misery?"

As Feng Jiuqing said, she came to the county government office with Chu Ning, and was led to the lobby by Wang Yi's Suicong. Wang Yi was sitting and talking with a bearded man, and Bai Su and Huo Yunshu had also arrived to accompany them.

After Chu Ning finished meeting with everyone, Wang Yi just introduced: "This bearded man is my county governor Cai Zhencai."

"The last general, Chu Ning, see Mr. Cai!"

Among the people present, apart from Wang Yi and Cai Zhen, only Chu Ning has an official official position, so Bai Su and Huo Yunshu are not qualified to meet Wang Yi because they are sitting with their staff respectively.

"I have heard about Captain Chu's illustrious reputation for a long time, but now that I see it, I really don't need to spread the name." Cai Zhen smiled, let Chu Ning sit down, and then said: "I came to Huang County this time, what did I do?" There are three."

Wang Yi clasped his hands and said, "I would also like to ask the postmaster to show me."

"First, the adults in the DPRK and China agreed that after the spring plowing, they will march north to fight against the Xianbei and Donghu thieves. Therefore, a political lawsuit was issued to let the counties and counties start training troops while the farming is slack." Cai Zhendao: "Second, the big The envoys sent by Si Nong have arrived at the county government and are urging the payment of taxes from various places. Huang County has been in arrears for several years. Huang County was hit by bandits, so I sent my officials to check the casualties and supervise the aftermath."

Hearing this, Chu Ning also understood that the struggle of all parties in the imperial court has come to fruition for the time being, the peace faction has been suppressed for the time being, and the main combat faction is now in the lead, so this Duyou lord is here to mobilize for next year's conscription The second is to raise food for next year's war.

As for the third point, no matter how much Chuning heard it, he could hear some meaning.

After listening to Cai Zhen's words, Wang Yi immediately said that he must cooperate with Cai Zhen's work, and after showing his loyalty, he cried for the people: "Master Cai must have seen the poor clothes of the people in our county during his journey. The poor state of being naked and hungry is really pitiful. I don’t know if the superiors in the county government have distributed the casualty compensation for the soldiers of Chu Xiaowei’s soldiers? Seeing that the New Year’s Eve is approaching, the relatives of the soldiers, how about Waiting for this morsel to fill my stomach..."

"I've been traveling all the way, but I saw that your county is bustling with people, and it seems to be well-governed. Although the people's clothes are broken, they don't see what you said, they can't eat enough." Cai Zhen said: "I also saw that in your county, there are people selling food called 'oil cakes' and 'steamed buns'. Not only are they cheap and filling, but they also taste good..."

Chu Ning was a little annoyed when he heard the two people's back and forth. However, she was now a low-level military official, and it was not her turn to intervene in these matters, so she kept silent and slightly lowered her head, borrowing the corner of her eyes Guang peeked at Bai Su who was sitting next to her.

Bai Su also came to pretend to sit with her. Wang Yi and Cai Zhen didn't take the initiative to question her, so they didn't have anything to do with her. They knelt behind the desk and sipped tea silently, as if they were invisible people.

However, soon, Bai Su noticed something abnormal. She keenly felt that there was a vague sight that was always harassing her.

Is it Wang Xianzun?

Is it the new Duyou Cai?

Or Mr. Huo?

Bai Su dismissed the three without a trace, and finally looked at Captain Chu.

very good!

Sure enough it was her!

Chuning didn't expect that his harassing eyes would be caught and revealed.

The four eyes met, and in an instant, my heart shook like a radium drum.

After finally restraining himself, Chuning first looked away, thinking sadly in his heart - this lust, this daring, really is not a good thing, it will breed, and it will make him seem like a different person.

No matter how you think about it, she is an old driver who has been around for a long time. When Bai Su was still babbling, she had already started discussing the mysteries of the human body with Teacher Cang and Sister Muto, and lived a shameless life...

But why, every time in front of Bai Su, my reaction is always the same as that twelve or thirteen-year-old puppy love girl?A look, a word, a small movement that can't be lighter, can startle the rabbit in her heart into rebellion?

Sin, isn't it said that the old routine won the hearts of the people?

This has not yet started the routine, this little heart of mine has already eagerly moved towards Mr. Bai Sizong, and if he is not eaten to death in the future, how will he live?

Bai Su took advantage of Chu Ning's harassment, and before she expressed any opinion, she saw Chu Ning shaking her head, sighing, lamenting, and coveting her with small eyes while she was not paying attention. Get up as tangled as you want.

Is there something wrong with my clothes?

Bai Su re-examined himself and found nothing wrong, so he couldn't help but feel even more suspicious.

After finally getting to sit with him, Bai Su wanted Chu Ning to ask him clearly, but unexpectedly, as soon as he left the yamen, Chu Ning disappeared without a trace.

In the afternoon of the next day, after Wang Yi's exhaustive public relations efforts, Cai Zhen finally let go, and promised to report a "heavy loss" result to the court, and Wang Yi also promised that no matter what, he would collect a sum of money and food for him to bring. Go back to work.

The county warehouse was already so empty that even the rats could not be fed. The money and food were still placed on Chuning and Bai Su. After discussing for a while, the three of them happily agreed to the food raising agreement.

In the agreement, it was determined that Huo Yunshu would be the official of the county court, responsible for monitoring the township and collecting the old taxes from the people.At the same time, in the name of Huo Yunshu, five hundred stones of grain, five hundred copper coins, ten bolts of linen, and five bolts of silk cloth will be raised and sent to the county with Cai Zhendu tomorrow.

Chuning is very satisfied with this transaction. She needs the right to collect taxes from Tingyu, and only this tax right is in her hands. After the Penglai Avenue is completed, she can set up road cards to collect caravans. Taxes and tolls.

The two sides reached a friendly agreement on the spot, and Huo Yunshu transported the things into the county warehouse on the same day, and completed the inventory and handover with Cai Zhen.

However, unexpectedly, after the handover was completed, Cai Zhen actually proposed to ask Lieutenant Chu Ning to escort the grain into the county for him.
