Chapter 247: The World
This Feiyun Mountain is not far from Tongshan, one back and forth, at most a month and a half, so much time, it is impossible for Le Qiong to have any deep hatred with Shangguan Dai Gao, so you can be completely assured.
Le Qiong whispered: "I'm not worried about the two of them, but I'm worried that Shangguan Hero will be used by my sister and become a sword in her hand." ”
"No, Shangguan Dai Gao is not stupid, Sister Qiong, don't think too much."
Lin Quan didn't say much, he took his family back, they rested for a while, and in the evening, Lin Quan and they dressed up and went out to participate in the Lantern Festival on the street.
This Haining City is now as bright as day, the street is full of all kinds of exquisite lanterns, four people guess the lantern riddles, put the lanterns, wash away yesterday's bloody gas.
At the time of the second watch, when Lin Quan was eating noodles on the side of the road, they heard someone nearby discussing, and it happened to be about the war against Xirong, and the matter of the imperial court's departure from Tianshan Pass, the world already knew about it, and such a big thing could not be concealed if they wanted to.
Most of the people who talk about it are very happy, this time the west out of the Tianshan Pass, is rare in history, the most recent is the time of Emperor Wei Jing, although Emperor Wei Jing has won a lot, but because Xirong mobilized heavy troops, the two sides fought a decisive battle near the Tamr River, the elite of the Wei Dynasty won the allied army with cavalry tactics, but they also suffered heavy losses, and finally under the communication of a black-clothed bishop in Xirong, they promised to pay tribute, so the Wei Dynasty also took the opportunity to withdraw back.
About this battle, later generations have been discussing, some say that this is the key to the Wei Dynasty from prosperity to decline, although there is a tribute, but the cavalry battalion painstakingly operated by Emperor Wu of Wei has no successor, resulting in the military weakness of the Wei Dynasty.
Of course, there are also said that the national prestige, is the first time in these years, let Xirong pay tribute, although the Song Dynasty set up a capital outside the Tianshan Pass, but the cost is quite large, and finally dragged down this huge empire.
Lin Quan was also thinking in his heart, the sage sent troops this time, there was no surprise, he wanted to set up a capital protection mansion and include the Tianshan Pass below the Yu Dynasty into the territory of the Yu Dynasty, but this was too wide, and the Yu Dynasty did not have many cavalry, if he dealt with the Xirong soldiers, he was afraid that he would suffer.
I have also read the Xirong Shi Linquan written by A Xueli, and I know that Xirong is mostly heavily armored, although there are not many soldiers, but it is quite elite. This time, the imperial court went to fight, and I don't know if there were any countermeasures.
"Husband, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that Lin Quan didn't eat noodles, Yuan Lihua asked in a whisper, and Lin Quan said to Yuan Lihua: "It's nothing, I just think that if the world is peaceful and prosperous today, it is really a blessing from my generation." ”
"I'd rather be a peaceful dog, not a troubled world, and the concubine only wishes that the world will always be peaceful."
Lin Quan nodded, at this time he saw a little girl in ragged clothes squatting under the eaves on the side, looking at them, Lin Quan saw this situation, couldn't help sighing, picked up the noodles in his hand, walked over, and handed it to the little girl, the little girl's clear eyes looked at Lin Quan suspiciously, Lin Quan said to her: "Eat, eat." ”
The little girl took the noodles, ate a few bites, thought of something, suddenly stopped, and whispered: "This husband, can I give this to my mother?" She hadn't eaten enough for days. ”
Lin Quan said yes, the little girl left with the bowl, Lin Quan returned to his position, Yuan Lihua said to Lin Quan: "Husband, you are really a good person." ”
Lin Quan didn't answer, thinking in his heart, even in such a peaceful and prosperous world, there are still many people who haven't eaten.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the little girl came over with a pale face and a woman in a single dress, and the woman knelt down when she saw Lin Quan, and Lin Quan asked Chen Jingjing to help the woman up and let her sit down.
The woman said with trepidation: "This minister, thank you for the gift, you are really a good person." ”
Lin Quan ordered a bowl of noodles, and then said to the girl, "You shouldn't have eaten yet, eat a little more." ”
"This, how good is this." The woman's voice was a little choked, and Lin Quan said that it was okay, just a bowl of noodles.
"Mother, you eat first, the child is not hungry."
"My son, my mother is full just now, you can eat."
Seeing that the two of them were humble, Lin Quan said no, if it was not enough, he could let the store cook a bowl.
The two hurriedly said no, and then began to eat, and while they were eating noodles, Lin Quan asked them what was going on.
I learned that their ancestors belonged to the lowly family, although after three generations, in addition to the lowly family, their ancestors did not have a field, and even if they were lowly, there was no place to farm.
Her husband used to be able to serve for others to earn some money, but after her husband died of illness last year, the family had no financial resources and was about to pay summer taxes, and they didn't know what to do.
Emperor Ren's summer tax was one ding for men and half a ding for women, regardless of whether there was a field or not, they had to pay taxes.
Emperor Ren originally thought that those who were idle would work hard to serve or become tenant farmers, so that the world could be stable.
For example, Emperor Ren did not consider this kind of loss of labor in the family at that time.
After Lin Quan heard this, he also felt that it was difficult to do, thought about it, and said to the woman: "In this way, you come to my house and help with Huanyi." You don't have to pay summer tax, I can still afford to support your mother and daughter in my house. ”
Lin Quan is the Hou Ye, according to the regulations of Emperor Wu, he can be exempted from thirty Ding tax, Lin Quan has no land now, and there are only a dozen servants in the house, so naturally there is no need to worry about the summer tax.
After hearing this, the woman hurriedly saluted, but Lin Quan still asked her to get up, and told them to go and clean up and go to live in the academy.
The woman nodded, she still knew about the location of Kiriyama Academy.
After Lin Quan said goodbye to the woman, he was about to go to Chen Jingjing's courtyard, Chen Jingjing smiled, pushed Lin Quan, and pointed to Le Qiong's side.
"Today, it should be you, Sister Jing."
"Silly husband, you haven't been with Sister Le for a long time, this Le Yao finally left."
Lin Quan shook his head, and when he arrived at Le Qiong's room, although Le Qiong was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, and after serving Lin Quan to wash up, he sat there.
Lin Quan also sat on his floor, thinking about one thing, whether the summer tax is good or bad, it is difficult to say, as far as it seems now, the summer tax is more beneficial than disadvantageous, one ding is equivalent to one tael of silver, and a family is only three taels of silver, this harvest year, a rural family can earn eight taels of silver, even if there is a small disaster year, it is not a problem to pay summer tax.
And the treasury of the Yu Dynasty is not enough, and the old rice in many places is going to be moldy.
But even in such a peaceful and prosperous era, there are still many people who are hungry, because their ancestors are lowly, so they have no land, or because they sold their land in a disaster year.
Lin Quan thought that let these people cultivate the official land, but now many of the official fields are empty, after all, the Xiang army is only two million, and it is impossible to cultivate so many official fields.
But if the official land is cultivated, then there is a problem, the official land is rented to them, and in addition to the summer tax, they must collect additional money, otherwise, this is not a hired farmer.
If the official field collects ten buckets and hands over eight or nine buckets, and the rest is not enough to feed the family, then are these willing?
Lin Quan thought that if the official land was given to them and the rent was very small, then the other hired peasants would naturally be willing to cultivate the official land rather than help the gentry, and he would offend a lot of people at that time.
Lin Quan thought about it, but he didn't think of a good way, looking at Lin Quan's embarrassed appearance, Le Qiong couldn't help but say aloud: "Xianggong, I don't know what you're thinking?" ”
Lin Quan said his thoughts, and Le Qiong said to Lin Quan: "Xianggong, isn't there a tenant farmer in the dynasty?" Don't these people want to be sharecroppers? ”
"Tenant farmers are now not as good as hired farmers, and as soon as the summer tax is opened, the silver of this tenant farmer will also fall on the landlords, and they are naturally unwilling to ask for tenant farmers and hired farmers. In the past, it was levied according to the acreage, and they were naturally willing to raise tenant farmers. ”
The tenant farming system of the Yu Dynasty has now reached this point, and it is no longer feasible. Now those princes dare to raise tenant farmers.
However, when Lin Quan thought of this, he had an idea, he picked up the paper and pen in the room, and wrote a note, he asked the sage to divide the official fields among the homeless, so that the homeless people could cultivate. In addition to the summer tax, the grain should be distributed to the box army as rent.
Lin Quan's idea came from Juntun, but it was different from Juntun.
Lin Quan also wrote down the idea of the general's town, if the time comes, the summer tax of the official field will also fall directly into the military town, and these homeless people will also live in the military town, and then these farmers, when they are idle in winter, can also practice with the Xiang army.
After Lin Quan finished writing, he read it several times, and after sealing it with fire paint, his face did not look happy, but sighed.
"Young Master Lin, why are you sighing?"
"The first method may be adopted by the saints, but the later ones may not be the saints. Together, there is a fear of the disaster of the feudal town. ”
Lin Quan also sighed in his heart, although there would be no rebellion in the feudal town, but all the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty were disrupted, if the rebellion was quelled, it was necessary to mobilize soldiers everywhere, and by the time the army gathered, the thieves would have already become the climate.
And according to Lin Quan's idea, as long as this military town is well controlled, it will not worry about the feudal town, but after the sage goes west, the establishment of the capital protection mansion will not be a big deal.
This day is far away from the emperor, sending cronies to go, it may not be reliable, sending the prince to go, that is even more too upside down.
Lin Quan thought that there were many problems in the country and dynasty now, but he was at a loss for the solution, and couldn't help but sigh again.
Le Qiong didn't speak, in these matters, Le Qiong couldn't help Lin Quan, she could only accompany Lin Quan now, let Lin Quan know that he was not alone.
"It's okay for this official field to have a strong man in the family, but if there is no strong man in the family, what should I do?"
When Lin Quan's question came out, Le Qiong said to Lin Quan: "They can weave cloth, I don't know if I can give them some silkworm cocoons and let them make silk." ”
"Yes, this method is good, and I don't know if there is a shortage of people on the Weaving Bureau." Lin Quan thinks this is feasible.
