starling is not a bird

Yinhu was originally an elder brother who ran an errand. He had mastered both the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and he could understand the disadvantages. Whip law levy tax and service, exempt all miscellaneous factions and "three rates".

Since Emperor Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi, the nobles of the Eight Banners were not satisfied with their own tax fields, and relied on their status to enclose land, especially those who held military power headed by Oboi. These lands were returned to the common people, and the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which led to the peaceful and prosperous age in the early years of Kangxi.

However, the frontiers were always restless, and the army went ahead before they could provide food and grass. In order to support the military supplies in the frontier, the Ministry of War suppressed the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households suppressed the subordinates. Huh, knocking all the time."The life of the common people below is miserable.

Every year in wars, money is used, and whenever the Ministry of War urges the Ministry of Households for military expenses, officials everywhere are afraid of being urged, and often underreport and keep more.Most officials reported that if there were five or six people in a household, only one person would be reported.As a result, the number of heads was always inaccurate, and it became more and more difficult to collect Ding Yin collected according to the head, and it was even more troublesome when it came to conscription.How can Huang Ama be deceived by these piercing villains?When the frontier was initially determined, it was announced that the future poll tax would be based on the national amount of pennies in that year, and no more pennies would be collected for the additional population in the future.Huang Ama worked hard for decades and finally fulfilled the order of the ancestors on the deathbed to "never add gifts".

But now the year is not good, tax and money are difficult to collect, and Huang Ama is preparing to save his strength to prepare for attacking Galdan again. The Dingyin that he wants to distribute must be extremely heavy. A few days ago, I heard the elder brother whispering in his ear Many peasants in Shanxi, Gansu, Gongchang and other places were unable to pay the money, and they all fled and became refugees. The peasants who went into exile roam freely and form cliques. If no measures are taken, the foundation of the country will be shaken.The court has not yet reached a result.

Thinking of the hardship of people's livelihood, Yinhu secretly sighed.Looking up again, the fourth brother has personally helped up those kneeling people, ordered the servants who followed him to settle them with silver taels, and sent guards to escort them to the Secretary of the General Administration to deliver the certificate, with a look of unbearable expression on his face, Yinhu felt cold in his heart snort.It was like this in my previous life, and it’s still like this in this life. I have the people’s livelihood and the national economy in my heart, and the people’s lives in my mouth, but I just treat my siblings like pigs and dogs. If I read more Buddhist scriptures, won’t I end up in a pool of blood?Doesn't hanging a string of Buddhist beads have a compassionate heart?He always says that others are deceiving, and when it comes to putting on airs and playing tricks, who can beat him?When the crown prince was abolished, he cried out to show his loyalty, and when he was fighting for the throne and stumbling others, he was cruel and ruthless. Huang Ama surrounded Changchun Garden with his own soldiers before he was born.Which is better than that?

The fourth elder brother watched the group of people go away, turned over and was about to get on the horse, suddenly felt that someone was leading the corner of his clothes, and lowered his head, at some point Yinhu had already got behind him, grabbing the corner of his clothes and refused to let go, Yinzhen Raising one eyebrow, Yinhu has already shown an extremely innocent and weak look: "Fourth brother, it was so scary just now, I want to ride a horse with you~~"

Yinzhen understands that it's just that his younger brother feels bored in the car, so he doesn't expose him. Anyway, since the last time Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shi Shi fell off their horses, few younger brothers have come to ask for him. Elder brother or someone else's plan, but I always feel that no one will use the life of my brother who lives with me to set a trap, right?Now there is still a fan who is willing to come and get close, Yinzhen is not unhappy.

Since Lao Ba was allowed to act like a baby to him, Yinzhen, who has always been decisive in doing things, stretched out his arms around Yinhu's waist and brought him to the horse, and placed him in front of him, giving him the best view of the scenery, and stretched out his hand to shake the horse Reins, legs clamped, Dede's horse's hooves knocked on the bluestone road, bringing a series of crisp sounds.

To be held tightly in his arms by the greatest enemy in his life with a pair of iron arms, Yinhu was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood and die!I just want to fool my fourth brother into sharing a horse for me to ride and watch the flowers, and appreciate the long-lost capital.In the end, the fourth brother reckoned that he just wanted to show off his elder brother's prestige.But I'm already over the age, and it's a shame to be hugged by him like a woman, as the saying goes: A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!This revenge must be reported!

Yinzhen, who was holding back his grievances, had no time to pay attention to the anger of the younger brother in his arms, all he wanted was to finish his errands early and go to see how the poor old people were doing.Lu Feikuai rode all the way, but fortunately Yinzhen, who is good at bow and arrow, has amazing arm strength, otherwise the little elder brother who was already dizzy from the bumps in his arms would fall down by himself. Zhen didn't tolerate the crime of his younger brother. Seeing that he was abandoned by the emperor and betrayed by his brothers, it was not tolerated by the world, so the eighth elder brother avenged his deep hatred easily.It's a pity that there are always some things in this world that don't go as expected.Such as falling in love, such as revenge, all of these need the right time, place and people.

The fortification process in the north of the capital has been delayed again and again. The Ministry of Industry said that the ICBC of the Ministry of Accounting was not in place, and the Ministry of Accounting said that the Ministry of War had taken away too many men. No matter what made the city wall unable to hug, this matter fell On the head of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

The sallow and emaciated workers moved slowly, the shoulder poles bent their backs, and the hemp ropes drew deep purple bloodstains on their shoulders. Every step was arduous, and their bodies trembled with every movement. Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi were all silent.The officials in charge of the fortifications only shirked their responsibilities and flattered them. Yinzhen suppressed the anger that was about to spew out, and reluctantly answered a few words. He knew that he was just a prince on errands, and he had no authority in any ministry. Interfering in government affairs at will would cause Bad influence.

The angry Yinzhen talked casually, but his eyes were fixed on those distressed workers. Could this be the peaceful and prosperous world that those literati always talked about?

Unexpectedly, the little elder brothers beside him had slipped away quietly.Yinhu had already led his younger brothers by the corners of their clothes and kept away from the fourth elder brother. Anyway, there were guards following him, so he wouldn't go away.In his previous life, he was busy fighting for the throne, and never had the opportunity to truly see what the world he was fighting for was like. Even if the Eight Banners support him and the scholars praise him, but if the people live in such a prosperous world, the throne will be lost. What's the point of just sitting on it?In this life, he must use his own hands to create a real Haiyan Heqing!

Turning around the construction site, Yinhu's heart was overwhelmed by a dull sadness, Lao Jiu muttered in a low voice: "They are so skinny" Lao Shi tried to move a stone slab, and he, who has always boasted of Kong Wu, almost Flash waist.As the sun was setting, smoke was rising from the construction site, and white smoke was rising from several cauldrons. A few young brothers walked over, eager to see what these hard-working workers used to feed their hunger.As they approached, the worker who was stirring with a long spoon saw that these people were all dressed in apricot-yellow embroidered dragon clothes, and knew that they were the royal family, so he hurriedly stepped aside to let them take a closer look.

The smell of gurgling in the pot is not like the delicacies they are used to eating on weekdays. The fragrant roasted duck simmering in silver charcoal is mouth-watering. The turbid mixed vegetable stew had a strong musty smell that made people sick. Xiao Shi was usually quite bold, but his face was already livid, and the more delicate Xiao Jiu had already rushed to the side and started to vomit.The guards who followed hurriedly picked up the two young elder brothers, and said to Yinhu: "Master, these are rough food eaten by inferior people, get out of here quickly," and even the cook next to him The workers also showed a look of embarrassment, as if they were ashamed that what they cooked was such a rough food, and it was their fault that it caused Yuxue's lovely royal family to feel unwell.Yinhu resisted the vomit surging in his chest, grabbed the spoon in the pot, and the people beside him had no time to stop him, and he took a mouthful of hot boiled soup and swallowed it down his throat. The throat was scratched, and then there was a churning in the stomach, and Yinhu almost vomited it out.The strong nausea has already made him unable to stand, the guards hurriedly supported him, they had cleverly invited Yinzhen, followed the prince out and let the prince have an accident, they can't bear the responsibility, whoever is taller Let someone top it.

Yinzhen was already impatient to listen to the little official's flattery, but a guard hurried over to report that something had happened to some younger elder brothers over there. Ba spread in the arms of the guard, Lao Jiu was holding Lao Ba's hand red-eyed, and Lao Shi was pulling out his whip to teach others.

After he found out that he had just eaten something unclean, Yin Zhen put down half of his stomach, and before he could ask the followers why he didn't take good care of him, he took over his younger brother from the guards, and abandoned his mount, to be with his younger brother Crowded together in the carriage.

After a while, Yinhu woke up leisurely, and found himself lying in the fourth brother's arms in an even more embarrassing manner. He quickly closed his eyes and hypnotized himself that all this was just a dream.Yinzhen's cold voice came from above his head: "Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up." Then Xiao Jiu exclaimed: "Mynah, you're awake." He opened his eyes helplessly, intending to stand up, but was caught by Yinzhen. Press it back again: "I just vomited, don't toss and feel uncomfortable again." Yinhu replied vaguely and that's all.

The voice sounded again: "Why are you so reckless, dare to eat those dirty things?"

Yinhu said sullenly: "The common people can eat, why can't I eat it? They pay so much taxes every year and are forced to flee by the officials, but when the money reaches the treasury, they don't know where it goes, let alone give it to the Ministry of War. The military pay is too high, and the protective fortifications of the capital are so important that they can’t even get a decent meal, no wonder the refugees want to gather crowds to make trouble.”

Yinzhen patted his head: "It's good that you have such a considerate heart, but you are young, and it's nothing to worry about if you eat a bad stomach. It's not a joke if you catch an epidemic. See you next time." Then I won't take you out." Yinhu nodded, but his face was still not relaxed.

Yinzhen looked at this serious younger brother, and began to explain: "In the past few years, there have been many disasters, and you need money to use soldiers and repair water conservancy. The life of ordinary people is a bit hard." Why not reduce it? It is always a bad thing for ordinary people to live a poor life." Yinzhen was also very surprised when he heard this, never expecting that this soft-tempered and coquettish younger brother would be so compassionate.After thinking for a while, he picked up the superficial and said: "It's not that Huang Ama doesn't reduce the exemption, the land tax has been exempted all the time, and what is collected is only Ding Yin."

Yinhu knew that the fourth elder brother of his family had implemented "spreading into mu" as soon as he took office, and evenly distributed more than 50 million taels of Dingyin fixed in the 330 years of Kangxi into the land tax and silver in various places, and collected them all together, completely with the grain.From then on, "Baojia will not be reduced and hidden, Lihu will not flee, and the poor will not be knocked out." The burden of farmers with no land and little land has been greatly reduced.Basically, the refugees who fled Dingyin almost disappeared from all over the country. The landless "citizens", "villagers" and "tenants" no longer paid Dingyin, and those who paid Dingyin no longer served corvee. From then on, basically, no one will be sent to serve the country, and ordinary people will no longer work for the country without compensation, which can be called a virtuous government.

Why not give him a push now, only for the benefit of the people? "Fourth brother, poor people have less land and more people, rich people have less people and more land, and those who have fame are exempted from Ding Yin. This is really unfair." The money was collected improperly, and there was a lot of abuse. I didn't expect my younger brother to see this clearly, so I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The black and bright eyes on the powder-like face looked at me like black grapes. It's the light that is thirsty for knowledge, and Yinzhen is not easy to deal with it, but he dare not have a serious talk with him, so he smiles unconsciously: "The eighth brother knows the hardships of people's livelihood at a young age." Then he raised his head and looked at the two little ones The elder brother said: "You have to watch the eighth elder brother and follow up."

Yinhu: "Fourth brother, you are embarrassing my younger brother and me again. It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing those people today. Huang Ama said that one person should rule the world, not one person. We were born in Aixinjue Luo's family, free to eat and dress, how do you know the rush here. It is really the ability of Huang Ama and the prince's elder brother to take care of the people's hunger and cold. We only have one side to call the emperor as bright as the sun, and the ministers as light as lamps and candles. Ears! Besides long live long live long live long live, only Huang Ama is wise to say!" While talking, Yinhu couldn't help laughing, and Xiaojiu Xiaoshi next to him also imitated him and bowed and shouted Long live, long live, Yinhu: "Brother, you are all the sun. With brothers helping Huang Ama and the prince's brother, my Qing Dynasty must be a grand event full of flowers and brocades!" Stretching out his hand and holding Xiaojiu, he said: "We These younger brothers are the candles, and they can only be ashamed in front of you!" As they spoke, the little elder brothers laughed together, and the carriage was filled with joy.

Yinzhen was also amused a little bit, stretched out a finger, and flicked Yinhu's head: "It's just that you talk a lot of wild cotton in your mouth!" Thinking about this younger brother's jokes, it's a bit interesting to think about it carefully , but after all, it is a childish little thought, not on the table, so my brother can't help but lose his temper, and he took the opportunity to preach: "The sun and candles have their own time and use, and they should not be judged by their light alone. During the day, the sun shines in all directions, but at night, the sun can't shine. We can only rely on the light of candles to replace the sun's omissions. The world is vast, and the tasks are extremely complicated. Even Huang Ama has eyes, eyes, and minds that he can't see. Where things are not well known, no matter who they are, as long as they can show their loyalty and wisdom, they will be loyal to the country, just like the sun warming the candles. Can the merits of the candles be ignored?"

Yinhu was originally joking, but he didn't expect to elicit such a remark from the fourth brother, which he did not expect.The place where emperors live has always been called "Rising Sun". Even if Yinhu is only a prince, he is used to flattery words such as "wisdom for a thousand miles" and "clearness for a long time". Suspicious and suspicious, so he once knew himself so clearly?Didn't he listen to no one except Prince Yi?
