Luo Sheng's gaze turned cold, and he said in a condensed voice: "Those people who read are all against it? ”

"Not either!" Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "Like Fang Zigen, the three of them, and a small number of scholars still support Brother Xin's brother." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It is precisely because of their suppression that there is no big mess. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will be chaotic. ”

"Where's Big Brother?"

"There is nothing going on on Brother Qing's side, and the situation on the grassland is different from that of Daming. There was no arable land there, but there were good and bad pastures, and the good pastures were occupied by the nobility. Moreover, the people themselves live like slaves, and each pasture owner has to pay a certain amount of materials to the young brother every year. This is like those nobles have to pay taxes every year, after the young brother went, implemented your system, in comparison, the tax collected is about 10% less than the materials they paid tribute before, which made those pasture owners very grateful, so that the young brother gained a lot of prestige. ”

Luo Sheng exhaled again and said: "Brother Qing, there is a place where force is supreme, as long as you have the strength to subdue others, then what you say is so, there is not so much nonsense, and there are not so many people who read to participate, that is, there are scholars, and it is also the customs of scholars who are suitable for the grassland, not the rules of the grassland that are suitable for scholars, so there is no problem in this regard at all."

However, Taiwan is different. Before we went, there were no established rules there, and it was very backward. It is we who bring them the rules, and we are the ones who make the rules. And we took a long-term view from the beginning, attached importance to readers, and gave them enough respect, so they became a relatively noble circle.

And...... Today, the backbone of Taiwan is those of us who have passed from the Ming Dynasty, especially the nearly 10,000 veterans recruited from the north, followed by the captured pirates, and the third is the natives. But it is precisely because of this that such problems arise. Because the noble ideas of scholars have been deeply ingrained in Daming. The veterans recruited from the north were very respectful and even a little afraid when they saw those scholars, which made them feel even more that they should be superior to others. Since they are all superior, they should naturally have corresponding treatment, so they want to restore the treatment of the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars must be exempt from taxes. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Qing looked at Luo Xin and said: "Brother Xin, in fact, I don't think it's anything to give them tax exemptions, they are just a little bit of people, and haven't Da Ming always been good?" ”

Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes, which made Luo Qing's heart tighten, and at the same time, he also didn't understand in his heart, he really didn't understand, Luo Xin himself was a reader, why did he treat a reader like this? Isn't it just a few taxes?

"It seems that they have forgotten the days of your Ningguta exile, and after a few good days, they will have to look at Shu." Luo Xin said lightly. After the words fell, he glanced at Luo Qing again, and sighed in his heart:

"Cousin, do you think Da Ming's situation is very good now?"

Luo Qing pondered for a while and said, "It's not good, but I think with your brother, Da Ming will have no problem." ”

Luo Xin's expression was stunned and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Luo Qing said: "If you hadn't been born, the three of us would not have entered the court, let alone Huangtaiji, who was in the city, I am afraid that Alatan Khan would not die, and it would also turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, and the Japanese would not be in trouble in Hangzhou, and the court would not even be able to send out the officials' salaries." I think if this continues, tomorrow will perish sooner or later. ”

Speaking of this, he perked up and said: "Brother Xin, I have already talked to Brother Qing last time I went to the grassland, give us two a few years, and when we are strong, we will turn back, right?" ”

Luo Xin shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's not talk about this matter first, we must first manage the grassland and Taiwan well." Cousin, let me ask you, why did Da Ming become like this? ”

Luo Sheng frowned and thought for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Luo Xin said softly: "When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was in power, the annual tax revenue was eight million taels, but now in the Jiajing period, it is only a little more than one million taels. Cousin, what would a family look like if it didn't have money, what would a country look like, so if it continues like this, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable. ”

"So much worse? Where did all that money go? Luo Sheng asked in surprise.

"Where else can I go?" Luo Xin smiled faintly: "Naturally, they all ran into the pockets of the readers." ”

Looking at Luo Sheng's shocked appearance, Luo Xin explained to him: "In the nearly two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been more and more scholars, and every scholar who has achieved fame will be exempted from taxes, and then a large number of farmers will donate, and then they will also be exempt from tax, and the taxes of the Ming Dynasty have been embezzled by scholars.

This is still a loss of money, if you think about it, in the founding of the country, the farmland owned by scholars was only 20%, and the farmers were 80%. But what about now?

Eighty percent of the students are scholars, and two percent are farmers.

What is the result? ”

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty will all be pressed on these two percent of the land, that is to say, the Ming Dynasty is using two percent of the land to feed, and the taxes on the farmers will inevitably increase. Even if it is increased, it is not enough, so the tax is collected in advance. Cousin, you know what? Forty years after the Ming Dynasty's taxes were received.

This is the government forcing the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel!

This is also the reason why there are so many rogues in the Ming Dynasty recently. Because under this rule, the reader is the moth of the Ming Dynasty.

There are few people in Taiwan who read now, and it seems that it is not a big deal to give them tax exemptions, and there is also a lot of land in Taiwan, so much that there are no people.

However, cousin, you must know that we are now just like Zhu Yuanzhang, just beginning to build Taiwan. With the passage of time, with the indoctrination of Taiwanese, the number of scholars will increase from generation to generation, and the entrance to Taiwan will also be hidden from generation to generation. There is not much arable land in Taiwan, just because there are fewer people. If we are like the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan will decline faster than the Ming Dynasty. After all, Taiwan is much smaller than Daming. ”

Hearing Luo Xin's explanation, Luo Sheng also understood. I understand, I understand, but I don't know what to do? He is a martial artist, and he also has a heartfelt respect and fear for scholars. This is the idea that the Ming Dynasty spent nearly 200 years instilling in the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"That'...... What are we going to do? ”

Luo Xin's face turned cold and said, "Since they forgot that it was we who saved them from the dire days of Ningguta, then let's let them remember." Let them know that Taiwan is the world of our Luo family, not theirs. We are not the Ming Dynasty, and there are no rules for the royal family and scholars to rule the world together. The cousin went back and told them that if they heard such words again, kill. ”

Luo Sheng's expression was stunned: "If they still propose to shake their heads, will they really kill?" ”

"It's a real kill!" Luo Xin nodded resolutely.

"How many kills, how many?"

"Kill as many as you want."

"That'...... Didn't the money that saved them go for nothing? ”

"That's better than being dragged down by them."

"But...... But ......"

"But what?"

"Those scholars have a very high reputation in Taiwan, and I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone will intercede and not be able to kill, but it will make those readers even more arrogant."

Luo Xin closed his eyes, and his face turned pale. He didn't expect that the scholars he rescued would have a relapse of inferiority, and he wanted to make Taiwan another Ming Dynasty and a paradise for their pleasure. After all, it is the scholars who are too noble in the hearts of the Ming people, and they are already noble to the bone marrow. His heart suddenly moved:

"Do I want to go to Taiwan?"

It took more than a month to go back and forth. After this transaction is completed, it is estimated that there will be no merchants from the vassal kingdom in two or three months, and the war between Wang Zhi and Xu Hai will not be completed in two or three months. If you go to Taiwan during this time period, it should be safe at sea, and you can say that you can go down to Weifu for a private visit, but it is only a little more than a month, and you can hide the past.

Not to mention......

Now that he has formed an alliance with Lu Bing, Jin Yiwei will not pay too much attention to himself.

Mao Haifeng did not have a chance to get on the ship at the dock, so he also returned to Hangzhou. He thought that the two people who got off the boat must have gone to the city, so he also came to the city. He thought about going to Luo Xin to look at the list of merchants who had just arrived at the dock, and asking Luo Xin about the origin of those merchants.

In his heart, he already regarded Luo Xin as a friend, except that he didn't tell Luo Xin about the purpose of coming here, it can be said that he has nothing to hide from Luo Xin. Luo Xin is a champion duke, a person who crippled Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Ye Ma, and has always been very approachable to him Mao Haifeng, but this makes Mao Haifeng feel infinitely useful, especially when he prepared a rhetoric and asked Luo Xin for the list of those merchants, he didn't expect that the rhetoric he prepared was useless at all, Luo Xin gave him the list very happily, which made him very grateful to Luo Xin. I even felt in my heart that I didn't tell Luo Xin the truth, and I was very sorry for Luo Xin.

How did he know that since Luo Xin had seen through his purpose and knew what he was doing in Hangzhou, in order not to make him doubt himself, he naturally gave him these lists happily.

The backyard of the city's ship.

Wang Cuiqiao fidgeted in her room, she went to the study with a teapot before, just to test whether Luo Xin was guarded against her and what her status was in Luo Xin's heart.

But......

The result of the temptation was frustrating, and even a trace of fear was born in her heart.

She didn't even have a chance to enter the study, and Lu Daqing was like a door god, blocking her out.

This made her think that Liang Yu was the pirate who robbed Xu Hai and their ships, but she didn't allow Liang Yu to have anything to do with Luo Xin. However, seeing that Liang Yu was able to enter Luo Xin's study secret, it proved that the relationship between them must not be simple.

"How can you gain Luo Xin's trust?"

With his own identity and background, if he can't gain Luo Xin's trust, he will just become a plaything when Luo Xin's wife is not around, and he will be abandoned by Luo Xin sooner or later. Even if Luo Xin was a conscientious person and did not abandon her, when Luo Xin returned to the capital, her wife was a beautiful girl, and she would definitely not be able to tolerate a person like herself and drive herself out. At that time, will Luo Xin keep himself?

No!

Absolutely not!

He must gain Luo Xin's trust and become Luo Xin's right-hand man.

"Then let's start by gaining Luo Xin's trust!"

Wang Cuiqiao walked back and forth on the ground, how to gain Luo Xin's trust? You can't let Luo Xin just think of his body before he thinks of himself, at least let Luo Xin have feelings for himself first.

As Wang Cuiqiao, who was born in Qinglou, naturally knows how to capture a man's heart.

She took out the pocket money that Luo Xin gave her, and prepared to go out to buy silk and make a long gown for Luo Xin herself.

Mao Haifeng rode a horse towards the City Ship Division, and had already seen the gate of the City Ship Division, and suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw Wang Cuiqiao walking out of the gate.

How could he not know Wang Cuiqiao?

He reined in his horse and watched in a daze as Wang Cuiqiao walked out of the gate of the city, and then walked down the street.

"Why is she here? It seems that the officials at the door still know her, and she has been to the city several times recently, but she hasn't seen her, does she live in the backyard of the city?

The backyard is where Lord Luo lives, is she and Lord Luo? ”

Mao Haifeng's eyes rolled, then he jumped off the horse, took the reins of the horse, and followed behind Wang Cuiqiao, while following, thinking about how Wang Cuiqiao would appear in the city, and whether her appearance would be useful to herself?

It works!

Mao Haifeng's heart suddenly moved, and an irrepressible thought suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. Is it true that I got the list from Luo Xin?

Or is it all?

If there was any agreement between Luo Xin and the businessman to make two lists, one public and one confidential, wouldn't the list he had obtained before all of Luo Xin deliberately show to himself?

Would Roxin do that?

Mao Haifeng was a little undecided, and for a while he felt guilty that he thought of Luo Xin like this. What a good person Luo Xin is, such a great ability, such a great knowledge, so enthusiastic and sincere to him, he thinks so much, what a bastard.

After a while, he felt that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were greedy, and he had a lot of contact with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there were enough interests, there was nothing they would not do. I think when they went ashore to rob, didn't they all get the news from those officials first? Those people are officials of the Ming Dynasty, why did they give these pirates a tip-off, isn't it because these pirates gave them enough money?

Luo Xin is also an official, even if he is the champion, he is also the champion of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, if the mysterious pirate who robbed his island gave Luo Xin enough benefits, why didn't Luo Xin help?
