Chapter 8: Go and inform

The premise of banknotes is that your current money must be useful and can buy things, so that people can really trust you, just as, in 1949, after most of China's precious metals, that is, gold and silver, were transported to Taiwan, how did the new government at that time establish a new monetary system in desperation?

There is no way, just use the currency of the grain standard, think about it carefully, Δ..

The latest this, which was not expected before, was sent back to the imperial capital through radar communication, and naturally there were those people, one person and one idea, although some of them were indeed very wasteful, but so many people, they could always come up with a good solution, but this also gave Li Xiangqian a wake-up call.

The policy of the Presbyterian Church, even if it can bring infinite good things and benefit the people of this era, there are always people who are not satisfied, and if the interests are damaged, it must be crazy and crazy to fight back.

The sale of new medicines by the elders will make many old Chinese medicine doctors unemployed.

If the elders break down feudal superstitions and build a social consensus dominated by Western science, then the conservative forces will fight back.

The original scholars, even if they didn't learn any more skills, went to the countryside, and the ignorant farmer saw it, and he had to say respectfully: "Sir." "But if you really go to do any compulsory education, the first ones you don't do are probably those who call out for people who are not ancient and need to be educated.

What if taxes were really completely exempt?

Since the ancient Celestial Empire, if the government wanted to get 1 yuan from the peasants' income through taxes, it had to let the grassroots gentry and officials get 2 yuan or even 3 yuan first, and there was no exception for thousands of years of history.

These, of course, are a later story, Li Xiangqian lowered his head and thought for a while, confirming that he couldn't manage it, so he said: "Then, so be it, some of you are busy, the army is just here in Yuguan for a drill, and it will not bring you any problems." ”

Suddenly, he pointed to a few officials behind He Youqiu and said, "You few stay and don't leave." ”

He Youqiu waited for a group of county officials, the little officials were still surprised, Li Xiangqian had already waved his hand, and he was driving people away, and he walked up to those people and looked at them, they were all people who had been involved in the accident in the old city, of course, what he thought in his heart and how he did it, Li Xiangqian couldn't control it.

"I heard the accents just now, and a few of them are locals." Li Xiangqian suddenly asked, he had heard these people speak before.

One of the oldest officials nodded and said, "Elder Hui, we are all good officials and good officials of our ancestors here. ”

The foot of the car and boat shop, if you are not guilty, you should be killed, this is an ancient precept, Li Xiangqian did not pay attention to this perfunctory words, but said: "That relationship is good, folks, and I am not afraid that you will do something wrong, huh...... Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to give you some money, it's a matter of money, your task is to go to various villages and towns to publicize the imperial court's policy of not collecting agricultural taxes, well, it's your hard work, do you have any problems? ”

The official was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "This, can you really say that, and there are ......" He is not a special manager of wealth like a household, in fact, even if he does not collect agricultural taxes, the impact is not great, and this money is supposed to be fished by those who "have a background".

In the Ming Dynasty, the agricultural tax not only represents the grain, but also means that you have to transport the grain to the granary specified by the state within the specified time, and the acceptance is qualified, which is considered to be the tax payment, these burdens are naturally also carried out by the farmers who farm, the burden of this process, even higher than the burden of those grains, transportation costs, along the way "cows, ghosts, snakes and gods" have to come to "check and inspect", and even go to the warehouse with great hardship, if you don't give some filial piety, the good grain sent is aged rice, which is obviously sufficient. It has also become insufficient.

These cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods along the way, but they all eat this meal, so they really can't fish it, they really want to kill people.

For this potential danger, Li Xiangqian was calm enough, looked at it, and said: "Well, you don't have to worry about other things, just take the money to do things, don't say that your ancestors have never been farmers, and you don't know the hard work of farmers, and now that the imperial court has given such a big discount, why don't you hurry up and tell the villagers the good news?" ”

The official usually goes to scare and scare the people in the county, and it is really the general who is followed by countless armies, and he is also cowardly, and he doesn't dare to talk back, and said: "The little one doesn't dare, but whether to ask the county magistrate." ”

"Oh, this one is up to you, well, wait a minute, you follow that one, go get ...... Go for fifty taels of silver, well, that's it, ten taels of silver for each of you. ”

In this era, a county order is only thirty or forty taels a year, not as much as this, the official didn't know how to speak at the time, but immediately, he heard such words, and his good mood was knocked to the dust: "This county is not big, and it is estimated that it will not take three days to go all over, then, after our exercise here is over, before I leave, I will randomly check the villages in various places, at least five, of course, it is definitely not which village is close to each other, and the road is smooth, but to remember which one to go, If there is a certain village now, and I don't know about the fact that the imperial court will not collect agricultural taxes this year, then the five of you will have a problem, understand? ”

Li Xiangqian said a few accents, believing that the information was transmitted quickly enough, which made the official very scared, nodded, and said, "The small one obeys the order, the small one obeys the order." ”

Looking at their backs as they left, Li Xiangqian frowned and didn't say more.

This so-called exercise is not to bring people to the place and finish the matter, it is also very important to obey the command and carry out some drills of separate attacks and joint attacks, and in the evening, set up camp and rest in a place other than Shanhaiguan, he began to communicate with his colleagues in the imperial capital.

Li Xiangqian: "The current grassroots level is a hornet's nest that can't be splashed with oil, it is estimated that it is impossible to do it at all, we have no one, we can go down to the field, to promote our ideas, we can create a life for the people, so why not create a person to help us publicize." ”

Zhao Jiaren: "Landlord? ”

"That's right, do you remember what you said, thanks to the help we educated the masses, you say, it's such a truth, I remember, someone was also brought into the revolutionary ranks in this way, well, my memory is still good, cough cough, okay, let's continue."

Liang Cunhou said: "Let the landlord help educate the peasants, one is not good, but it will be a big mess." ”
