Chapter XVII: The Rich

When the country is rich, it is qualified to be capricious, and if it wants to make a revolution, it will revolutionize, and if it wants to change the law, as long as the people have enough to eat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone can huddle at the base of the wall with their rice bowls and watch the king and the bigwigs toss vigorously while eating.

As long as you don't rush over and smash the big guy's rice bowl, the more they toss, the more the people like to watch it.

Do the babies have to go to school?

Two more cakes to eat at noon?

This should be supported, and it would be better if the babies didn't have to go to school and give two cakes.

Ten-year-old children are a good time to think long, and they are all sent to school, who will learn to farm? Who will learn to herd sheep? Who will learn the good craft of their ancestors?

Lao Zhang in Qingxiang City served the mutton soup to the guests neatly, and chattered his opinions.

"I don't have any children in my family, and the youngest one is a guard in the City Lord's Mansion, why do I have to pay any student tax? Although ten coppers a month is not much, it doesn't make sense. ”

"Your family doesn't have it, my family has, it's right to be a brother who has eaten in your family's restaurant for two years, and use the money you earn to let my son study."

The diners laughed when they heard Lao Zhang's complaints, his family has three babies, one is born a year, and after the New Year, maybe there will be a fourth.

"It's all the sins of bad conscience imprisoned in it as a gentleman, can your child be handed over well?"

"Good people don't know how to read, and there are no good people who know words, I'd rather let my baby follow the bad guys to learn and read than let him be a bad guy like me all his life, and finally be sold to Hami."

Diners may be unbalanced, and they blurt out something unconsciously complaining.

Lao Zhang pouted and said: "Okay, fortunately, the Khitan people sold your Pei Gou'er family to Hami, otherwise your family would still only have one pair of pants."

You and your wife are planting wheat in the field, so you forgot about it? ”

The diner smiled bitterly, and drank a glass of wine in front of him, he didn't like to mention the past very much, so he pointed to the city lord's mansion on the opposite side of the square and said, "Lao Zhang, is the king feasting today?" So many carriages and horses. ”

Lao Zhang glanced back at the City Lord's Mansion and said with a smile: "I heard my kid say, this is a person from the north of the Tianshan Mountains, it seems that the lords of the country are begging the king to open the Tianshan Road, so that their merchants can come to Hami to sell the stolen goods."

Not a good person. ”

The diner smiled and said, "This is to send money to the king, and I want to treat my Hami as a place to sell stolen goods, and I can't do it without blocking the king's eyes with gold." ”

Speaking of the king's money, there were more people talking, and another diner came to Pei Gou'er with a rice bowl and lowered his voice and said: "If you want to use money to block the king's eyes, you can't do it without it."

Our king has never been short of money, and last year's more than one million Uighur rations were all bought by the king with real money, and in this way, the government's taxes last year were reduced by 20%. “

Another diner who was eating snorted disdainfully: "The king has two treasures, the Golden Valley and the Agate Beach, and it is a strange thing to have no money.

Let's not talk about the Golden Valley, you know no, the fire eye on the agate beach in the devil's land is no longer spewing smoke now, as long as it is a person, you can go there to pick up agate.

After the winter break, Lao Tzu will go to the devil's land to pick up agate, and if he accidentally finds a good one, he will be rich. ”

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The devil's land is not smoking, but there is already an army stationed there, and when the smoke is rising, you may still walk in and exchange your life for one or two agate, and now, before it has passed, it will be shot into a hornet's nest by the crossbow of the army." ”

"You know a fart, you can't go to the devil's land, you can't go to other places, I heard that someone has been ten miles away from the devil's land, hoeing the wasteland with a horse-drawn hoe, and found a bad agate, and now it's ......"

No one is as rich as the king.

This has formed a consensus in Hami.

Others will only use money for themselves, only the king has money, once he encounters a famine that cannot be passed, the king will take out money and grain from the king's treasury to subsidize the people.

Qingxiang City has now become a demonstration point for the reform of Tiexinyuan, and any national policy that wants to be implemented in the whole country will always be demonstrated in Qingxiang City now, and the demonstration will be promoted to the whole country after three or two years.

Ouyang Xiu was extremely disapproving of any reforms, and he felt that Tie Xinyuan was adding chaos to the Hami Kingdom.

There is no need for such a thing as apportioning into acres, the land owned by the people of Hami is itself bound to his own name, as long as a male grows to the age of fifteen and reaches adulthood, he will be allocated a field of fifteen acres, this field even his father can not be sold at will, this is a mouth of the field.

There is no need for the gentry to pay taxes as a whole, and in Hami, the king, the queen mother, and the queen's shops also have to pay taxes, which is a rule formed from the founding of the country, and no one opposes it now, as long as it is implemented, there is no need to explicitly stipulate.

There is a difference between the implementation of the rules and the explicit provisions, the former is silent and has the effect of spring breeze and rain, and once the latter is stipulated, the mentality of the officials and gentry has changed greatly, and they think that they have been offended.

In Ouyang Xiu's view, making such a thing clear is purely looking for trouble.

Only those who have property can pay taxes, and those who don't have property don't have to pay taxes, which is a natural thing, but there are changes in Hami.

The main reason is that there are a lot of people in Qingxiangcheng and Hami who are employed by others, and the wages they receive a year are no less than that of farming, and the income ratio of most of the employed people far exceeds the income from farming.

Contracts are very popular in Hami, where the hired man has to sign a contract, the sale and purchase have to be signed, and the guests on the ship have to sign a contract with the shipwright......

The contract documents were the most numerous of the documents in the Hami Kingdom, so much so that the government had to set aside a large room where candles were forbidden to store the various contracts signed between the government and the people.

In order to let the people know the importance of the contract, the Hami government broke this matter and crumpled it and instilled it in the people for a whole winter.

When the government decides an economic dispute case, it only recognizes the contract, and if you don't have a contract, you deserve it, even if you have a witness, it is useless, and the contract in triplicate is the evidence in the eyes of the government.

What Tie Xinyuan is doing now is to make a contract, which makes him very headache, he really can't imagine that there are so many royal families and remnants in the Western Regions, as well as a large number of wealthy people.

When the Great Wan Kingdom perished, no one knows clearly, Tie Xinyuan asked the remnants of the Great Wan Kingdom, but this group of people could only tell Tie Xinyuan in a long voice that it was a long time ago, and they only remembered that the last royal ancestor was the Khan.

They hope to be able to migrate to live in Hami, and if the Hami king intends to annex the Dawan kingdom occupied by the Great Cannibals, they will do their best to help.

Compared with the remnants of the Dawan Kingdom, the remnants of the Cheshi Kingdom are very nonsense, this country is even older than the Gaochang Kingdom, and now it is said that it has the right to inherit Gaochang, which is now the Uighur Dragon Court, and hopes that the Hami Kingdom can send troops to help them restore the country, and they will surrender to Hami Yunyun in the future......

After meeting these two bereaved families, Tie Xinyuan didn't want to see the bereaved families of Wusun Kingdom and Kangju Kingdom, as for the Dayue Clan and Xiaoyue Clan, he had only heard of them in history books, and it was still the history of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhao Wan came back from playing with her son in the back mountain grassland, she found that her husband was lazy lying naked in the shade of a tree, drinking tea without a sip, and his lazy appearance was very unpleasant, so she put the child in her husband's arms and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tie Xinyuan put Tie Xi on his belly and let him toss around, and weakly told his wife about the people he met this morning.

Regarding her husband's encounter with a liar, Zhao Wan smiled and leaned back, and after laughing, she said to Tie Xinyuan: "Why didn't you ask Xiangguo?" He must have had his thoughts when he sent these people to you? ”

Tie Xinyuan patted his son's little buttocks and smiled at Zhao Wan: "Your father doesn't know how much he has been deceived by these people, once I met those vassal courtiers summoned by your father and rewarded by your father and emperor when I was in the capital, I couldn't breathe with laughter, two black savages like charcoal walked barefoot in a brothel and were kicked out, and they also yelled to show off the title of their envoys." ”

Zhao Wan said with a smile: "I have the ability to slap my father's face, what to do with my son's ass, what to do when all countries come to court, my father likes it, the ministers like it, and the people also love to watch it, spend some money and food to watch the monkey show, every time you are rewarded, you don't have to go through Honglu Temple, who do you think will take it seriously?"

The celebrant brought a group of strange people to the Golden Palace, and my father was happy, and we hid behind the curtain to watch the joy.

Seeing that my father ordered someone to drop the reward on the ground, we were happy for a long time every time we returned to the harem.

When Di Qing and them returned from Pingnan and sent those earth kings who were captured alive, as well as some earth kings who came to pay tribute, to the Golden Palace, we were not qualified to see it.

Those are the courtiers of the vassal country that have been cleaned up by the Honglu Temple. ”

Tie Xinyuan sat up in surprise with his son in his arms and said, "You mean these people have been picked by Ouyang Xiu?" ”

Zhao Wan nodded and said: "Absolutely, Mr. Ouyang had an opinion on his father's reward for those liars when he was in the Great Song Dynasty, how could he change his temperament when he came to Hami." ”

When Tie Xinyuan saw Zhao Wan say this, he clapped his hands, and immediately, Yu Chi Zhuozhuo appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Go and ask Mr. Ouyang why you sent these people over."

"The concubine has already asked, and Mr. Ouyang said two words."

"Those two words?"

"Rich!"

Tie Xinyuan got the answer, and fell into deep thought, and Wei Chi Zhuozhuo gently saluted Tie Xinyuan and Zhao Wan before retreating.

Being rich is a very strong reason, although these people are not as rich as Tie Xinyuan, but a large group of people add up to a lot, it seems that Ouyang Xiu wants to keep all these people's money in Qingxiang City, but he doesn't know what method he will use. (To be continued.) )
