Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong directly disrupted their arrangement, but if you can't hear it, I'm afraid that King Xuancheng's posture will never end with them. They don't know King Xuancheng, and they don't know what the other party will do, especially when the other party grows up. The environment is different from theirs, and he may not know the "rules of the game" in it, but he still has a high status, and if he doesn't cope well, problems will arise.

Xiao Yan still wants to persevere, he has been suppressed by Xiao Xuexing for so many years, in the final analysis, it is because Xiao Xuexing has military power in his hands.

Of course, he actually has some military power in his hands, but the problem is that the soldiers under him are far worse than Xueziying.

If you really want to compare it, it’s probably the difference between a wolf and a dog. Xiao Yan also wanted his soldiers to see blood, but he didn’t have any talents to lead soldiers, and he himself only knew how to raise soldiers. The experience of fighting beside him is far worse.

Xiao Yan wanted to persevere, but Chai He didn't want to.

When there is nothing to do in Nanyanzhou, they will drag their legs. After all, it will not cause too serious consequences.

But now that Emperor Wei has personally conscripted, the only thing that can stop the other party in a hurry is the regent's subordinates. Are you still here to stumbling the other party because you want to die together?

Chai He resolutely turned his back: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to transport the grain and grass."

He didn't just talk, after asking Xiao Xuan for instructions, he immediately wrote a warrant for people to dispatch to the nearest granary.

Xiao Zirong is actually not very satisfied, now that Emperor Wei has brought someone to the door of the house, you are only in a hurry, why did you go so early?

He wanted these people to apologize to Xiao Xuexing, but no matter how naive he was, he knew that this matter was unlikely, so he could only say: "In this way, there will be an order from Lao Shangshu, but it should be faster to go from Taoyuan City, so here is the team for delivering food and grass. won't stop."

Chai He said very politely: "Since that's the case, I don't know how much food is stored in Taoyuan City? At that time, the lower officials will ask the transportation team to transport the food and grass to supplement the food and grass used by Taoyuan City."

Xiao Zirong waved his hand and said, "No need, this should be the tax owed by Taoyuan City."

Xiao Zirong had been thinking about this matter for a long time. Taoyuan City was still the territory of Qi State anyway, and paying taxes was a must.

Of course, no one should ask him to pay taxes at present, but this kind of thing is a ticking time bomb. It seems to be nothing now. If someone wants to attack Taoyuan City in the future, they may use this to make a fuss.

Xiao Zirong didn't dare to say that Taoyuan City could be built impeccably, but at least he didn't want any loopholes in this aspect.

Anyway, Taoyuan City also has a part of grain storage, so you have to pay taxes, and Taoyuan City was built from scratch at the beginning. According to the laws of Qi State, no matter it is land reclamation or anything, there are tax incentives at the beginning, and tax exemption can be granted if you meet the regulations.

Xiao Zirong did some research before, Taoyuan City has at least a two-year tax-free period, so it actually only needs to pay one year's tax.

However, he was not very good at mentioning this matter before, but now is a good time.

Everyone didn't expect that King Xuancheng was still thinking about taxes, and they were a little surprised for a while.

Xiao Xuan calmed down and heard his words and couldn't help laughing: "You are careful."

Xiao Zirong directly asked someone to bring over the documents from the household department and said: "Here is the grain production and taxation situation of Taoyuan City over the years. My nephew also asked people to calculate the tax ratio. Now the grain that my nephew has to transport to the front line is more than a year. There are a lot of taxes, but it doesn’t matter, it’s a very difficult time.”

What he said made people startled for a while, but he didn't expect Xiao Zirong to be able to count everything clearly.

The meaning of King Xuancheng is obvious, he will not violate the law, but he will not foolishly provide more food and grass for nothing.

He can give more, because it is the regent's team, but he will also tell everyone openly, don't try to pretend to be deaf and dumb with him.

Chai He took a second look at him, the symbol that represented Xiao Zirong to him before was the Deposed Emperor or the King of Xuancheng.

Now he thinks this King Xuancheng is very interesting.

Xiao Zirong had seriously studied the law books of Qi State at the beginning, because he wanted to write a law book specially for Taoyuan City.

Not all the things of the later generations are the best, the best things are the ones that are suitable for the present, and the law book is the same.

If Xiao Zirong wants to write, he must write according to the current people's livelihood, and cannot escape everyone's three views, otherwise the original law book is very complicated, and it is estimated that no one can understand the law book.

Now that I have studied taxation, I have to read it carefully. It doesn't take a long time to study this to know how much tax Taoyuan City needs to pay.

As Shang Shuling, Chai He still has two talents. He doesn't need to know the exact number, he just needs to glance at it to know whether the approximate number is right or not.

However, his first reaction after seeing those numbers was disbelief—how could the grain harvest in Taoyuan City be so good?

This kind of grain harvest is not bad even in the fertile plains. Taoyuan City is located in the mountains, and there are not many places that can be cultivated. How can the yield be so high?

But the problem is that there is no need for King Xuancheng to lie about this matter. After lying, he has to pay more taxes. Why bother?

Chai He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know if the land book of Taoyuan City can be shown to the lower officials?"

Xiao Zirong is very generous, and the Shang Shuling is in charge of this aspect of things. A qualified Shang Shuling keeps the distribution and size of the cultivated land in the whole country in his mind.

As for the unqualified...that's all kinds of things.

Xiao Xuan had just read this Lin book before, and happened to be showing it to Shang Shuling.

Chai He is more proficient in this aspect than Xiao Xuan, and he was a little awkward when he got it, because Xiao Zirong's method of recording is different from the imperial court's method.

But there is nothing to say. The entire Taoyuan City has not received any "formal education" in relevant aspects from top to bottom. It is already good to remember and record these things.

Chai He observed carefully for a long while, and after doing mental calculations, his first reaction was to look at Xiao Zirong: "Your Highness, Taoyuan City really has so much cultivated land?"

Xiao Zirong said: "What is there to lie to you? Didn't I show you before? The cultivated land in Taoyuan City is not only the flat land in the valley, but also a large part of it is terraced fields."

Chaihe thought about it carefully. They did see the terraced fields before, but they came back early because of the war before they looked seriously.

He was very curious and asked: "How is the irrigation of terraced fields solved?"

Xiao Zirong looked at the crowd and found that apart from the nervousness when he first learned about Emperor Wei's personal conquest, everyone's expressions are now very calm. It seems that no one wants to go back because of worry, and even cares about the land of Taoyuan City.

But he also thought about it, at least the scene has gone through a lot of wind and waves, so how could he keep on flustering?

It's useless to panic, and it's useless to worry, it's better to do the thing at hand.

Xiao Zirong simply ordered someone to bring the keel waterwheel and Qu Yuanli over.

The City Lord's Mansion has a large area, and there are places to plant flowers and plants in the backyard—these flowers and plants were transplanted little by little after Xiao Xuexing came here.

If there was no Xiao Xuexing, according to Xiao Zirong's habit, what Xiao Xuan came to face this time might be the backyard full of all kinds of small vegetables.

Xiao Zirong was actually very dissatisfied with this. The yard is best used to grow vegetables, and it’s not impossible to grow flowers, but it can’t be all flowers, right?Just plant a little eye-catching.

Xiao Xuexing even went so far as to change all the fish in his pond. Originally, all the fish in his pond were caught from the river. He didn't know the name but they all tasted good.

When Xiao Xuexing first arrived, in addition to the Hehuayu, Xiao Zirong also had people directly get fish from the pond in the backyard.

At that time, Xiao Xuexing's expression was very indescribable, and he felt that the first thing he wanted to do was not to let his younger brother study or practice martial arts, but to let Xiao Zirong cultivate a noble sentiment first, at least don't farm in the backyard, just raise fish in the lotus pond!

The keel waterwheel and the Quyuan plow are farm tools that are unheard of by people nowadays. Xiao Zirong suddenly realized something after someone brought them, and turned around and asked, "That...do you know the effect of an ordinary plow?"

To be honest, as a commoner of later generations, Xiao Zirong didn't know what the current plow was like because he had never planted the land.

But he doesn't need to know, as long as he knows that Quyuanli is more useful.

But now he needs to let others know that Quyuanli is very useful, and the grain output is indeed intuitive, but there is no way... Everyone seems to disbelieve it. If they don't understand the comparison of plows anymore, it seems like convincing these people to promote Quyuanli. It's not easy either.

Xiao Zirong glanced at the expressions of everyone present, well, these people are generally of good background, people like Xiao Xuan only touched the plow after becoming the emperor - there is a Shennong ceremony before the spring plowing every year, and the emperor needs to set an example, but also Just help and walk around.

As for the others, they don't even have this requirement.

Xiao Zirong felt a little troubled, but at this time General Beizheng said: "I... I used a plow."

Compared with the other people present, this person was born as a real land turtle. He used to be a farmer. At the age of 30, he was conscripted away by the army. Since then, his life has been like a dead end. All the way to become the general of the Northern Expedition.

In the 30 years before joining the army, at least 20 years he has been farming, even at a young age, he can do some things within his ability.

So among the group of people, he is the only one who understands this better.

Xiao Zirong directly asked someone to hand over Qu Yuanli to him, and asked him to try it in the open space.

General Beizheng first looked at the structure of the Quyuan plow, and found that it was indeed very different from ordinary plows. After he personally started to push it for a short distance, General Beizheng paused.

He didn't pause for a long time, and soon began to push forward for a certain distance, but not for a long time, then he let go of the Qu Yuanli and handed it to the attendant next to him, knelt down and touched the plow with his hands soil of.

After the investigation, General Beizheng looked up in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, it's available!"
