"Daddy! Daddy, they all knelt down, they really regarded us as immortals, giggling...... "Accustomed to the feeling of high altitude, and seeing the brightly lit streets and the dark crowd below, Chen Niang forgot her fear and laughed all over.

"Pay attention to your image, the back molars are laughing, do the gods have you like this?" Hong Tao felt that it was a mistake to bring Chen Niang up, and he should really bring Fu Ji and let everyone see it, not only the gods, but also a male and a mother.

"Daddy, are you really an immortal?" After a pause, Chen Niang also relented, mainly because it was cold, and her ears were about to freeze off at this time. Shrinking his face into the hood and looking at the back in front of him, which is not tall but always has to look up, the materialism he learned from elementary school seems to be a little vague.

"If knowledge counts as divine power, this official is an immortal. Sit down and shelter from the wind, and by the way, think about how such a heavy bag and the two of us were able to fly, and hand in an assignment when we get back. ”

The unknown influence is really big, even an atheist like Chen Niang, who has been around him since childhood, began to doubt his cognition, Hong Tao couldn't help but sigh. can sigh and sigh, she has to gain something when she comes up, she needs to fool the people, and she needs to understand the reason.

The fairy floated in the sky for a quarter of an hour, and no human figure could be seen at the height, and the bright gas lamp had turned into two large stars. Then it suddenly disappeared, and the sky was still black, as if nothing had happened.

As for the fact that there seems to be a big black round guy floating in the sky, the people have automatically filtered it. It must be dazzling, or clouds, how can there be a dark shadow where the gods appear.

So where did the gods go? Nonsense, go home, it's the moon if it's not even, and the direction of flight is about the same. What's next? Soon someone took the lead in doing it, put the lantern on the stone steps at the entrance of the mansion, and then went to buy a few cakes, kowtowed respectfully, and prayed that the immortal prefect could come back, not to abandon the poor mortal, and it was best to bring some benefits down to the mortal together.

If one person does this, there will be followers immediately, and you can't believe it. Then the entrance of the government became an incense case, and all kinds of tributes became more and more yards, except for the empty feet of the special forces, the fifth-level stone steps were already full.

There are still bold ones in the back, it seems that he is still a rich man, and he actually got a pig, with a head and tail twice as neat, and he crossed the steps to make up his mind further, and it was easier to be seen by the gods in the first place.

Seeing that the special forces did not block the action further, the chubby staff took the old mother and daughter-in-law and arched forward again, but they didn't stop it...... Arch again, until you arch to the closed door, this is solid.

After kneeling down and kowtowing, when he left, he had to thank the special forces for not stopping him, and respectfully offered two copper coins, and he didn't expect to receive them, so he gently put them at his feet and went home with a satisfied face.

"I'm ...... The labor insurance shoes didn't work, and I almost didn't freeze the official's toes, and I didn't expect that the temperature in the Daimyo's Mansion more than 100 meters high was lower than that on the snow mountains in Liangzhou! Don't look at it, why don't you go back to the house and take a hot bath. This official has to bubble too, lady? Wife? Give the fragrant soup, and then have a bottle of Niu Er! ”

If everyone sees the virtue of the gods at this moment, they will immediately throw the pig's head into the courtyard wall, and then spit at the door of the house. Hong Tao and Chen Niang were almost frozen, and the rattan basket couldn't climb out, but was carried out by the soldiers of the new army.

These soldiers didn't dare to say that Lord Shuai Si was not a fairy, but they just felt that the life of the immortal's hometown didn't seem to be very easy.

"Official, fly every ten years from now on. The slave looked out through the crack in the door, and all kinds of food were piled up, enough for us to eat for several days. If you can't eat, you can take it to the mines, where the people will never have enough to eat. ”

Green Lotus is the first time to go far away, and I don't know much about how good my own officials can toss, and I feel fresh and compassionate about everything.

"You are using officials as acrobats, our family lacks this money? Those people in the mine deserve it, not sympathy. But when you are free, you can take the children to the street to help the poor, Ziju and Mrs. Lian also did it when they were in Huangzhou, if you don't understand, you can ask her. ”

Still comfortable at home, lying in the hot water, two young girls wearing tulle on the left and right, four soft little hands pinched the tight muscles, but there was a part of the opposite, and then drank two sips of horse wine, and the inside and outside were suddenly warm.

"The slave family still likes to work in the bank...... Ziju is not very happy these days, going out to work makes her feel another way of life, and it is not unwilling to come back to serve the officials, but she always feels a little empty.

"Then teach your sister everything you have learned, and you two sisters will work together in the future." Banks are an indispensable institution for economic development in a place.

Even if it is not possible to issue currency and treasury bonds, it is very useful to engage in the business of loans, exchange and deposits. Ziju is really doing a good job in this regard, presumably adding a green lotus is no worse than Lian'er who only stuffs snacks into her mouth.

"Hey, don't teach now, rub your shoulders and add some hot water." Since he finished saying this, Hong Tao felt that the four little hands had stopped massaging, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the two sisters had come together and muttered.

With the aftermath of the miracle, the first policy of the new prefect was enthusiastically introduced.

The prefect is to take stock of the temple fields on Daimyofu Road, and confiscate all the excess except for the temple property that has been registered. You don't want to transfer the acres to someone else, the basis of the inventory is last year's accounts. The number of acres of land under the name of the temple last year is the base of this inventory.

Hong Tao wanted to plant cotton, but the most planted around the Daimyo's Mansion were mulberry trees, and it was too difficult for everyone to cut down mulberry trees to plant cotton. Compulsion is not Hong Tao's character, we must first find some demonstration fields, and reflect the advantages of cotton planting, so as to gradually change the concept of the local people.

Where is the demonstration field? Some of the fields were reclaimed, but the number was too small and scattered, and it could not play an exemplary role. It took several months of studying a land report on Monday and Sunday, which allowed Hong Tao to find a breakthrough.

The phenomenon of land annexation in the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be said to be particularly serious, but it can be regarded as relatively serious. Most of the land was in the hands of landlords and officials, and many peasants were their tenants. The Northern Song court did not collect taxes from tenants, but from landowners.

However, officials and monasteries enjoyed tax exemptions, which caused the landlord class to pay more taxes. When the landlord pays the tax, he collects more from the tenants, and the state has no protection measures, so the landless people become unlucky.

There are also a few farmers who own their own land, which is called yeoman farmers for the time being. They have to pay taxes to the government, and the rest goes to themselves.

However, the ability of yeoman farmers to resist risks is too weak, and if they don't do well in a natural disaster, they will have to go bankrupt, and after selling their houses and land, they will either be displaced or become tenants.

Land reform? No, this matter is more difficult than reforming the official system, Hong Tao really doesn't have the ability to poke this hornet's nest, and the main work at present is not civil affairs, so it's not too late to solve the Northern Expedition first and then talk about internal affairs.

Besides, landlords should not be attacked, and other people's land is not robbed, but bought. It cannot be said that whoever has more land is guilty, and this kind of hatred of the rich is wrong. As long as the land is legally acquired, there is no problem, not only can it not be attacked, but it must be encouraged.

It's not even a matter of taking the official's land, this is the emperor's means of encircling the ministers, who will follow you if you don't give a house or land, how can you live a happy life that a sergeant doctor should have?

Then only the temple remains, and its land is considered temple property, which is partly legal, but partly gray. Some wealthy people, landlords, and family members of officials often put their land in the name of the temple in order to avoid taxes. This situation is very serious, and it is about to become an unspoken rule of tax avoidance.

Successive emperors have issued decrees in this regard, prohibiting temples from accepting land that is not part of the temple's property, but the results have still had little effect. The officials sent to enforce the law are all vested interests, and Buddhism is a ruling tool encouraged by the imperial court, which is not easy to deal with in private and public, and it offends too many people.

It's not that I haven't checked it before, as long as the court officials come, the temple's land will immediately shrink several times and dozens of times, and it will become someone else's. As soon as the officials left, these disappeared temple properties returned, and they still did not pay the taxes. Even if the officials saw something wrong, they would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it, and go through the motions to fool the emperor and it would be over.

But Hong Tao is not afraid of offending people, except for the emperor, he even dares to offend the queen mother, who else can't offend? Moreover, the inventory of the temple property is a very reasonable and legal measure, which is completely in line with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the right of the prefect, and no one can say that they are wrong.

The ancients did not get up early. In addition to being reasonable and legal, the huge number of acres of land also makes Hong Tao vicious. It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

The 30-odd and relatively large temples in the prefectures and counties of Daimyōfu Road alone account for 25 percent of the total cultivated land in these prefectures and counties. Strip away the temple property that the temple should have, and count the excess acres of land, which still accounts for one-thirtieth of the proportion.

One thirtieth ah, these monks' Buddhist scriptures are all recited in vain, they are here to transcend mortals, and they are holding back and harming people. So many taxes have been greedy, and there is no benefit to the common people at all, and it has also pitted the country, and only a very small number of people have benefited.

Hong Tao didn't like religion very much, and even the god cult he founded to fool people hated it from the bottom of his heart, and he definitely couldn't allow this situation to continue. And isn't he going to come up with any tricks to fight these forces, and to deal with lawbreakers and criminals, can he use his brains to deal with both vertical and horizontal elements?

No matter how many supporters you have, we have 6,000 new troops and enough crossbow arrows and grenades. If you hand it over, you will quickly and honestly execute it, and Lao Tzu will arrest someone a quarter of an hour later. Don't be unconvinced, you don't have to resist, as long as you dare to stare and scold people, even if you threaten the new army, there will be no mercy!
