The news about conscription has spread so well that people have to believe it, and even proper terms such as "conscription order" have appeared. The fourth order has also become the fifth order. Previously, Zhang Zhun issued four decrees, and if there was one more "Conscription Order", it would naturally be five decrees. It's just that everyone readily accepts the first four decrees and rushes to them. It's just that this fifth decree is really unpopular!
Fortunately, at this time, another news came, that is, Zhang Zhun had not yet made up his mind whether to issue the "Conscription Order". As a result, the depressed people seemed to hold on to the straw that saved their lives and ignited a glimmer of hope. A well-informed person whispered that Zhang Zhun was not in favor of asking the people to serve the conscription, and everyone knew that conscription was not a good thing, and the new Qianhu, who loved the people like a son, would not do such a thing that harmed the villagers. However, he can't help it!
The city wall can't be repaired, right? The road can't be paved, right? Water conservancy facilities can't be repaired, right? Messy places such as sewers can't be cleaned up, right? To work, you need people, you need food...... But these two things, Zhang Zhun didn't have them in his hands! No one took the initiative to come to work, so they could only be apportioned to the conscription. After all, Zhang Zhun is not an immortal, he doesn't have three heads and six arms, right?
"If people are willing to pay some taxes, they can be exempted from forced labor."
"If I have food in my hands, I can ask someone to do it, and I don't have to pay it."
"However, I promised that I would never pay for food, and I can't go back on my word!"
Zhang Zhun inadvertently muttered a few words.
As a result, these few words accidentally leaked outside.
The military households, who were nervous, seemed to have found a solution to the problem in an instant:
Replace conscription with rations!
As long as this tax rate is not too strong, everyone is willing to use taxes instead of forced labor!
The new Lord Qianhu is reluctant to go back on his word, which shows that his character is leveraged, and he will do what he says, and he will definitely regret it. However, since we don't want this kind of conscription, we must take the initiative and explain to the Lord of the Thousand Households that it is not the Lord of the Thousand Households who goes back on their word, but the fact that we are willing to take the initiative to pay the grain. Well, Senho-sama, we already know your character, it's not your fault, it's what we asked you to do, you don't have to blame yourself.
Therefore, Chen Guoxi, Mao Sanye and other old people who did not know what to do first came forward to convey the voice of the masses to Zhang Zhun. These two old men really didn't know the inside story, and seriously proposed to Zhang Zhun not to issue the "Conscription Order", but to change some details of the "Juntian Order" and the "Juntian Order". The villagers are willing to pay some food every month in lieu of this conscription. As for the standard of food payment, I would like to ask you to discuss it. In short, no matter what, don't do this conscription.
Zhang Zhun was quite sorry in his heart, but he didn't show his expression on the surface, and he had to pretend to be a little embarrassed and said: "But in this way, I broke my promise......
Mao Sanye hurriedly said: "This is not an adult's broken promise, it is our strong request!" Different, completely different! ”
Zhang Zhun felt more and more ashamed in his heart.
For this matter, I deceived two straightforward old men, and I was indeed a little guilty. If only I had thought it through in the first place, this would not have happened. However, with these two old men coming forward, his goal was easily achieved.
As a result, Zhang Zhun readily accepted the people's suggestion and no longer issued the so-called "Conscription Order", but instead paid grain. After careful consideration, the tax rate was determined to be 40 catties of rice per mu. If other crops are paid, they will be converted according to a certain proportion. This rate will be engraved on the stone tablet and will never be changed in the future!
Hearing this news, the military households finally breathed a sigh of relief. Forty catties of rice per mu is quite acceptable. At the very least, it's much easier than three or even five days of conscription a month. So, everyone expressed a warm welcome. It seems that it is still easy for Lord Qianhu to accept everyone's opinions with an open mind, what a really good person!
Soon, a huge stone monument was erected at the door of the Thousand Household Official Hall. On the top of the stele, it is clearly stipulated that the land tax in the jurisdiction of Fushan is all 40 catties of rice per mu, and other crops are converted separately. Erect a monument to remember, never change! On the day the stele was erected, many people came over and saw it in person, which can be regarded as reassuring.
At the beginning, when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Empire, the tax rate was also engraved as a record. It's a pity that his descendants don't pay attention to the stone tablet and change it wantonly, seriously overdrawing the credit of the imperial court. The end result was that even the other clansmen in the royal family did not believe in the emperor. The ministers of the imperial court were deeply wary of every act of the emperor. Ordinary people don't trust the imperial court. Except for the eunuchs, the emperor was simply unaccompanied. This is probably also the sorrow of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Excellency, high! It's really high! In a place where there was no one, Wang Mingyu quietly gave Zhang Zhun a thumbs up, admiring Zhang Zhun to the extreme. The rumors about conscription were naturally made by a few of them and deliberately released them. As for the principle, refer to the rumors before some units issued year-end bonuses in later generations.
"My lord, awesome! That's amazing! Liu Hang was also convinced and expressed his admiration.
Hou Shanping also smiled silently on the side, and nodded his head repeatedly.
Yang Liren and Liu Baoyu, not to mention.
Originally, several of them thought that some people would be more or less dissatisfied with this grain payment turmoil. They are mentally prepared to do ideological work with these people. However, no matter how much ideological work is done, it will always have an impact on Zhang Zhun's prestige. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun made a "conscription order" out of thin air, which made the military households take the initiative to ask for food. If they don't pay the food, they won't agree!
"This is not the royal road, and it will be used less in the future."
"Foresight and foresight are the king!"
Zhang Zhun shook his head lightly and said with a solemn face.
Some small skills learned from later generations certainly helped him achieve his goal of receiving food easily. However, such a method can only be used once or twice, and if you use it too much, others will naturally see it. Don't think that everyone else is a fool and everyone is shrewd. Once seen through, the effect will only backfire. In the future, when formulating laws and regulations, far-sightedness and foresight are the king's ways. This kind of thing is to mend the pot, no matter how superb the means, it is always to mend the pot and fall into the inferior. Clever people don't need to mend the pot at all!
"I'll be taught!"
A few people who understood the inside story naturally agreed in unison.
The slogan of "Juntian exemption" became "Juntian exemption", which did not prevent foreign military households from defecting. Every day, there are still hundreds of people who quietly flee from Lingshanwei and from the direction of Aoshanwei. In fact, as long as the word "Junda" is enough, it is already attractive enough. Who wouldn't want to have their own land in this year?
After letting go of this matter, Zhang Zhun was a lot more relaxed, and he actually had time to disturb Xue Ningying. This little girl is determined to write a "Ming Encyclopedia", which makes Zhang Zhun admire. An aunt, a sister, one knows how to build ships, and the other wants to write a book and speak, Zhang Zhun can't accept it.
When Zhang Zhun came to Xue Ningying, this little girl was practicing calligraphy hard! The little girl is from a scholarly family, and the smell of books on her body is very strong. Unless there is no condition, it is necessary to insist on reading and writing every day. In the words of later generations, he is definitely a first-class three-good student.
"Brother Yulin, why are you here?"
Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, Xue Ningying greeted with a smile.
Yang Yinghan holds the financial power in his hands, and he also loves the Xue family sisters very much. In addition to insisting that they live with her, Yang Yinghan will never be stingy with the things they need. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and conditions in all aspects are gradually getting better. The four treasures of the study, which had never been before, are now all complete. The quality is quite good. I don't even know where I got a few books, so I made a room and made a small study.
Because she hadn't finished practicing her words, the little girl didn't giggle with Zhang Zhun, and after saying hello, she continued to practice with her head down. Don't look at her young age, but her handwriting is quite beautiful. Zhang Zhun looked at it for a while, then walked away. Nothing else, he didn't even know how to grab a brush, and it was really not a taste to stand by and watch a future female calligrapher walk with a pen.
Let's go!
Unexpectedly, before turning around, Xue Ningying shouted happily: "Brother Yulin, don't go!" ”
Zhang Zhun turned around and said casually: "Looking for me?" Didn't you teach me how to write? ”
Xue Ningying innocently blinked her bright big eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and with a shy smile, she said seriously: "Exactly!" Sister Yinghan said, if you are free, practice calligraphy with me! Otherwise, you can practice with my aunt! But my aunt said she didn't have the heart to teach you! That's just me to teach you! Don't call me a big ghost! ”
Zhang Zhun smiled dumbly.
How old is she, she actually wants to be her own master!
However, she, as a master, is completely deserved.
Fushan Institute is the jurisdiction of the Wei Institute, which is basically a farmer and a martial artist, and there are few people who can read and write, and even fewer people can write well. Hou Shanping prides himself on being a literati, but in fact, his handwriting is not very good. Every time Hou Shanping posted an announcement, even he felt ashamed. As for Liu Hang and Wang Mingyu...... These two boys are similar to grasping a brush and chopsticks. The words that are written, they can almost understand it themselves.
The three major literati known as the Shengxia Sect, compared with people like Xue Ningying, who came from a scholarly family, are really the difference between heaven and earth...... Well, a bit of an exaggeration. However, if Hou Shanping were to be Zhang Zhun's teacher, Hou Shanping would definitely be ashamed to resign. I can't afford to lose that person!
Zhang Zhun felt that it was still necessary for him to practice calligraphy. It is not required to be well-written, as long as it is neatly written and clearly written, it is enough. However, he had never practiced calligraphy before, and now he started from a blank piece of paper, and everyone can imagine what the words look like. Grabbing a pen is not like grabbing a gun, just have the strength! That's tricky!
