How good is Tsinghua University? Tang Yi thought evilly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

XX: Studied at Tsinghua University, ancestral hometown: ** Huangyou first year Jinshi and .....

All right......

Fan Zhongyan successfully prevented Tsinghua University from entering the Great Song Dynasty, and the new academy was officially named "Guanlan Academy".

Tang Yi thinks this name is not bad, Guanlan.... Stand on the mountain and watch the river, listen to the waves and see the water.

The three of them went all the way down the mountain, and although Yoon Su didn't walk fast, he didn't have a hard time.

I have to say that Mr. Yin's condition is really much better now, from the dock to the house in the middle of the mountain, a distance of more than three miles, all the way down, Yin Zhu is just slower than ordinary people.

When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw Zhang Jinwen coming over with an old man in rough clothes.

When he got closer, Zhang Jinwen introduced: "This is going back to the mountains and wanting to meet Fan Gong." ”

The old man was led by Zhang Jinwen and gave a big salute first, "I have seen Fan Xianggong, and the little old man Wang Shi has greeted Fan Xianggong." ”

Fan Zhongyan made a false plan, "The old man is invited, the old man has resigned, and he can't afford to be the prime minister." ”

Wang Shi got up slightly, still bowed his waist and said, "Worthy of it, worthy of it!" If you can't afford it, no one in the Great Song Dynasty can't afford it. ”

Zhang Jinwen interjected at the right time: "Just now, Steward Cao has already made the delivery, and Wang Lizheng heard that the new master is Fan Gong, so he wants to come and meet him." ”

"I can't come to see him, this is the ancestor who has accumulated virtue, and he actually sent Fan Xianggong to our back mountain. Xianggong is a man of great virtue, and he will definitely make Huishan richer and richer day by day, day by day...."

"The old man is serious!"

This old man is quite able to speak, and he will never finish when he opens his mouth.

Fan Zhongyan has been an official for so many years, and he still has the ability to observe words and colors, although Wang Lizheng does not seem to be yang and yin, but he is by no means just here to "meet".

"Although the old man said bluntly if he has something, since the old man has taken over the mountain, he must do his best to do his best to do the things of the residents."

Wang Shi was embarrassed, he was stunned for a long time, he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, so it didn't make people feel depressed.

Wang Shi, who was thinking about how to speak, suddenly became agitated and pulled the topic away again.

"Just now, Steward Zhang has already told the old man that he wants to open up the land of Dongshan, Fan Xianggong can rest assured, the old man will take the young people in the village to the other side of the river tomorrow to open up the wasteland, and the spring will not delay Fan Xianggong's land."

"Old man, if you have a word, just say it, everyone is tired of going around." Tang Yi couldn't cry or laugh a little, this old man was a simple and honest person at first glance, but he had to learn from others.

Can you have the skills of a master?

Belch.... Wang Shi's face turned red, knowing that his words were clumsy, which made people see it.

Seeing that he still refused to tell his true intentions, Fan Zhongyan had to ask tentatively, "Is there any difficulty?" Not enough winter food? ”

The problem faced by ordinary farmers is this one, the problem of filling their stomachs.

But he didn't want to, Wang Shi hurriedly waved his hand.

"Enough to eat, enough to eat, and a little bit of spare."

"And ...... you?"

Now, Wang Shi had no choice but to speak bluntly and said embarrassedly: "I... I just want to ask on behalf of the old and young in the village, how to collect the rent of the new owner's family? ”

Hi!

Tang Yi almost didn't collapse, this old man went around half of Tokyo because of this.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "It turns out that how the Cao Mansion collects it, how it will be collected in the future, the old man doesn't have to worry." ”

I thought that Wang Laohan could let go of the big stone in his heart after hearing this, but he didn't want to, but when the old man heard this, his face was slightly bitter, and he said bitterly: "Little Lao'er knows, I'll go back and tell the people in the village." ”

As he spoke, he saluted Fan Zhongyan and the others, and turned to leave.

"Old man, wait..."

Fan Zhongyan stopped Wang Shi, "The old man has just arrived and returned to the mountain, and he doesn't know the previous rules of the Cao Mansion... How? The Cao family's land rent in the past was high? ”

Wang Shi turned around, "It's not high, it's not high, the former owner's family has always been sympathetic to me and other farmers, and two out of ten is considered low." ”

"Then why is the old man depressed?"

"The old man is not perfect, if there is something unexpected, please ask the old man to explain it, and everyone will discuss it."

"I...."

"Is it a problem with agricultural taxes?"

Tang Yi suddenly spoke up and asked tentatively.

I see! After Tang Yi said this, Fan Zhongyan also suddenly realized.

Cao Mansion is indeed not high out of ten, the landlords of the Great Song Dynasty collect land rent, three out of ten is the constant price, and it is not for nothing that four out of ten is not nothing, and the key problem is the field tax.

The Cao family does not have to pay taxes on the land under their names, that is to say, the villagers only pay 20% of the land rent, and the rest of the output belongs to themselves. But now that Cao Tong has given Huishan to Fan Zhongyan, such a large piece of land cannot enter Fan Zhongyan's employment field, it can only be regarded as private property, and then he will have to pay taxes.

When the Great Song Dynasty was founded, the agricultural tax was set at 1 out of 15, plus local miscellaneous taxes, which was almost a 10% tax. During the Zhenzong and Renzong dynasties, the central government's finances were tightened, and the land tax was slightly raised, which was about one and a half percent.

In this way, the land rent tax for returning to the mountain has changed from the original two percent to three and a half percent, no wonder Wang Shi is not happy.

"Xianggong doesn't know...."Wang Shi was guessed by Tang Yi and simply said bluntly.

"Although there are more than 1,300 acres of land in Huishan, the waterlogged land accounts for 1,000 acres, and seven or eight out of ten years cannot harvest grain. The whole village only relies on more than 300 acres of dry land for their livelihood, and the original Cao Mansion only collects 20% of the rent, and there is still a little surplus every day, and in the event of a disaster, no one will starve to death. But, with that the addition of agricultural taxes, it is..."

"Dalang, look at this...."

Fan Zhongyan looked at Tang Yi. This demon is the financial officer of the academy in the future, and he has already said it before, Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu and others can concentrate on lecturing, and Tang Yi will manage the expenses of the academy, and this time the mountains and thousands of acres of fields will naturally be decided by him.

"What a big deal!"

Tang Yi pursed his lips, "The old man put his heart in his stomach, since my teacher took over the livelihood of more than 100 villagers in the mountain, he can't watch everyone go hungry." The field rent is exempted, and everyone only needs to pay the government agricultural tax on time every year, so don't ruin my teacher's reputation for a few buckets of grain. ”

"How much did Childe say to receive?" Wang Shi felt that he had heard it wrong?

Exempt.. Exempt? The main family doesn't take a penny, and they farm for us? How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Zhang Jinwen laughed, "Li Zheng heard it right, my eldest man said that it was exempt, that is, it was exempted, and the old man would go back with peace of mind." ”

There are more than 300 acres of land that need to pay field rent, and it is not more than 200 yuan, which is really not a big number.

As soon as Wang Shi heard that he was really free, his eyes were hot, and as soon as his knees bent, he was about to kneel down for Tang Yi.

"The old Han Dynasty, the whole village thank you!"

Tang Yi's eyes were sharp, and he rushed up with an arrow step and grabbed the old man.

"Old man, but I can't help it! Even if we see the emperor, we don't kneel, you are killing the boy. ”

Wang Laohan's tears flowed down his cheeks that were deeply rooted in the ravine.

"Half percent of the grain tax may be insignificant in the eyes of the prince and the son, but in the eyes of our farmers, it is life food!"

Tang Yi made the old man feel depressed, and said with red eyes:

"Don't worry, the old man, with me, no matter how big the disaster year, no one will starve to death when I return to the mountain!"

.....

The water turns white, and the boat travels among the waves.

Tang Yi has been silent since he returned to the boat, obviously the scene just now touched him greatly.

Yin Zhu looked at him with a smile for a long time, and Fang said leisurely: "It seems that Da Lang is moved by his true feelings, and he has never seen you so deep." ”

.....

"True?" Tang Yi looked up at Yin Su.

"300 acres of thin land, the annual rent is only 200 yuan, and after removing official taxes, more than 100 tenant farmers only have a few dozen yuan of silver left."

“....”

Yin Zhu was stunned by him, and he didn't understand how Tang Dalang calculated the account.

Tang Yi sneered mockingly:

"But the is these dozens of 'little money', but it can make an old man kneel down to a fifteen-year-old child......"

"What a sad truth!"

"What a ridiculous time!"
