Compared with previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty had a conscience price of thirty taxes, which proved that Zhu Taizu, who was born as a peasant, was very sympathetic to the people.

However, in terms of specific operations, there are two major problems.

One is the collapse of the financial and monetary system of the Ming Dynasty, and taxes are collected in kind; One is that the royal family has set up an archway but wants to be a, and regards his own money bag as a forbidden.

The disadvantage of in-kind expropriation is that it gives the local government a lot of room to operate. Although it is under the banner of 30 taxes and 1, the actual collection is as high as 15 taxes and 1, or even higher.

The descendants of the Zhu family have inherited the glorious tradition of Lao Zhu and have unique insights into taxation. Roughly speaking, 30 taxes and one is already the greatest blessing, and my share cannot be less.

In order to show that he loves the people like a son and is blessed with the world, Zhu Yuanzhang will often exempt some state capitals from taxes, which is a good thing, but it may turn into a bad thing of beheading.

Teng Demao was the secretary of the military department for three years of Hongwu, and later changed to the secretary of the household department to be in charge of the world's wealth. However, in the tax grain, 100,000 stone was levied less than in previous years, and as a result, his head was cut off on charges of embezzlement.

The recovery of the stolen goods did not go smoothly, Teng Demao's wife made a living by spinning hemp, and the family could not find the 100,000 stone grain that had been embezzled. Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and cut open Teng Demao's stomach, but there were only coarse grains and grass vegetables in his abdomen.

Did Teng Demao die unjustly? Injustice! Because Zhu Yuanzhang personally exempted 100,000 stone grains from Suzhou, and this household secretary did not get a chance to defend himself until he died.

This is actually the economics of the Zhu family, my annual tax should not be less than a penny, if it is less, you will be corrupt. I'm exempt? Hehe...... I don't care!

The total amount of taxes paid by Shicheng County each year is also fixed, but in fact, more and more powerful people have escaped the tax list, and some powerful people have also fornicated with household scribes to change the upper field to lower the field.

Eventually, the taxes paid by Haoqiang's fields became less and less, and in order to keep the total amount unchanged, the taxes borne by ordinary people became heavier and heavier, such as the current Changlin Village.

"The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand!" The old patriarch drank the rest of the wine again, and sighed with emotion.

Lin Haoran sandwiched a piece of chicken on the bowl of the tiger girl, and kindly corrected: "You should say that Jiangfu wine and meat stink, and Changlin freezes to death!" ”

"Hao Ran, do you have any way to help our people through this difficult time?" The old patriarch no longer regarded him as a nerd, and said with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Lin Haoran took a sip of wine, looked up at him and said, "Uncle, you must also know that there is not much room for maneuver in this tax!" Now the problem is nothing more than a money, and the solution is naturally to open up sources and reduce expenditure. ”

"Throttling? Hehe...... What other place can we have in our village! The old patriarch shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes revealing a touch of sadness, the village was just alive now.

Lin Haoran had some understanding of the situation in the village, and sighed, put down the wine bowl, and then looked up at him and said seriously: "Then it's going to be open source, I have an idea, I'll talk to you about this later, and I need your support at that time!" ”

"No problem!" The old patriarch looked at him with confidence, so he nodded seriously, and did not ask what the method was.

With the observation over this period of time, coupled with the return of this scenery, this nerd should be completely enlightened, and maybe he can really help the village find a way to live.

"You let Erhu inquire, why did this matter fall to our village, I think the matter is related to Jiangcun!" The eldest lady watched the two finish talking, and expressed her opinion.

Hu Niu has been listening to the side, and at this time, she is also shaking her two little short legs and echoing: "That's right! The people in Jiangcun are all dead, and the construction of that Pingyang Bridge turned out to harm us, and my brother can't get into the show, so I'm lazy with him! ”

When the old patriarch heard these words, he sighed slightly, as if he had known about this for a long time. Although he agreed with the suggestion to let his son investigate, he did not continue the topic of tiger girl feng shui.

After taking a bite of the dish, he asked Lin Haoran about the hospital examination again.

The Provincial Academic Council personally went to Gaozhou Mansion to preside over the examination, which was held twice every three years.

According to the previous order, Gaozhou Mansion is ranked before the other three prefectures in western Guangdong, and the time is about the same as in July. Of course, now the time has not been set, and everything is difficult to say.

The old patriarch knew that the children of the clan in front of him were already the head of the government test, and this show was a sure thing, which gave him a little comfort in his ravaged heart.

You must know that this is very likely to be the first talented man in the history of Changlin Village. However, it seems to be a little ironic, the ancestral tomb of the champion who was once talked about by everyone has not seen a talented man until now.

"Now that the young men in the village have returned from service, you have started to hold banquets these days, if you want them to help, just call them directly!" The old patriarch clamped the chicken butt and said with a domineering attitude.

Lin Haoran nodded and said with a smile: "With your words, then I will rest assured, hehe!" ”

The atmosphere between the tables was much more relaxed, and in the face of this rare delicacy, the four of them ate very happily.

Especially the tiger girl, she grabbed a fat big chicken thigh, the neat white teeth and gestures tore the smooth chicken thigh meat, the pink cheeks bulged, the corners of the mouth were full of greasy, and she was happy to eat.

In fact, she is very happy today, in the past, the uncle took care of their family, and now she can finally invite them seriously. It's not that she has to pay off anything, I'm afraid she can't pay it off, but doing so will make her feel a lot more comfortable.

And although the life of the family can't be compared with Jiang Mansion, it is undoubtedly the best family in the village, which makes her even more satisfied.

Lin Haoran originally wanted to send the old patriarch home, but the old patriarch showed a strong personality, and he was not allowed to send him off, and followed the eldest lady to staggering and disappearing into the night.

Ay!

Lin Haoran could see that this old man was actually very depressed today, and he was afraid that he would continue to worry about the village's tax increase when he went back.

When she was sleeping, the tiger girl seemed to sigh, and this little girl said that many families in the village were having a tight life. The people are small, but they seem to hold the whole village as well.

"Don't worry! Brother will find a way! ”

Lin Haoran hugged her hot body, smelled her body a little greedily, and found that this sister was really cute, but unfortunately she didn't like to listen to stories.
