Although Xu Yifu was excited when he was offering wine to the emperor, he was a little worried. He stood up, bowed his hands and bowed, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, is the tax of 20,000 taels of silver paid by Lin Feng wrong? First, did you include money? , so that we can collect so much money. Second, if taxes increase so much, can the people bear it?"
The relationship between Xu Yifu and Han Qianqiu has always been excellent, and they are considered close friends.
He also admired Xunzi.
Xunzi, a generation of Confucianists, was willing to come to the Qin Dynasty, which was a blessing for the Qin Dynasty.
Lin Feng is a disciple of Xunzi and his junior brother Han Qianqiu. What's more, when scholars from the Xia Kingdom came to Da Qin to provoke them, it was Lin Feng who stood up. Xu Yifu had a good impression of Lin Feng.
He was worried that something would happen to Lin Feng.
Following Xu Yifu's inquiry, everyone else looked over with a hint of expectation on their faces.
They also want to know the answer.
Ying Jiuxiao's face was full of pride and he said directly: "About Lin Feng's taxation after he implemented the reform of dividing land into acres in Guzang County, the memorial has detailed explanations. There are a total of forty-three cultivable lands in Guzang County. More than 6,800 acres.”
"The population of Guzang County is 5,600 households, approximately 30,000 people."
"After the tax reform this time, the tax was set to be four and six cents of silver per acre of land. Based on the final calculation of more than 436,800 acres of land, the final tax collected was the amount of 20,000 taels of silver .”
"Because the remaining miscellaneous taxes were abolished and all taxes were unified, the local people cheered and everyone was happy."
"In the local area, there are no excessive taxes or excessive taxes."
"Most ordinary people have a family of five. Calculated based on ten acres of land, this is relatively small, almost half a tael of silver. The people pay less taxes, so they are naturally happy and everyone is happy. Why is it that after tax reductions and exemptions, the income The money coming up is more, don’t you understand?”
There was a hint of sternness in Ying Jiuxiao's expression.
When everyone heard this, they all stopped talking. These people naturally understood.
After the reform of sharing one's land into one's own land, the wealthy gentry and noble families could no longer evade taxes. All big families have to pay taxes on their land, so big families bear the bulk of the land, pay more money, and naturally collect more taxes.
If money is not reformed and taxes are collected based on headcount, big families will find various ways to avoid taxes. If a big family has more people, they will pay less taxes, so the total taxes will naturally be less.
How much tax can be collected from ordinary people alone?
Wang Tang felt happy. Now he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, felt confident again. He said: "My lord, congratulations to Your Majesty and congratulations to the Qin Dynasty. According to the reform of dividing people into acres, our country, the Qin Dynasty, will definitely change its difficult situation of financial scarcity. In addition, As for the rest of the income, the court will not be in trouble every year."
Zhang Yi was also quite excited and stood up and said: "Old minister, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty."
"My lord, congratulations to Your Majesty."
One by one, officials expressed their opinions.
They all knew Ying Jiuxiao's will. Lin Feng went to the place and didn't mess up the matter. On the contrary, he was as beautiful as he was. Everything was naturally different.
Dividing a small person into an acre must be carried out.
No one can stop it.
Ying Jiuxiao flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, since Lin Feng went to Guzang County to take office, he has begun to inventory the land in various states and counties. In the past few months, the Ministry of Household Affairs has completed statistics on local land conditions. Bar?"
The Ministry of Household Affairs led by Wang Tang has been conducting an inventory of land across the country. Of course, this inventory is not to promote the entry of stalls into acres, nor is it promoted to prepare for the entry of stalls into acres. It is just a publicity for routine inspections.
Therefore, the land inventory was not hindered.
Wang Tang looked excited and reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything has been investigated."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said: "That being the case, the imperial court has promulgated the policy of dividing farmers into acres. This year's taxes will remain as usual. Starting next year, local taxes will be collected according to the unified land tax. Of course, local poverty and poverty must also be taken into consideration. Wealth. If it is a richer place, the land tax can be appropriately increased. In remote and barren places, the land tax can be appropriately adjusted and lowered. In short, it should be arranged appropriately according to the location."
"I obey the decree."
Wang Tang responded directly.
Everyone knew that the matter was settled.
This is the general trend.
No one can object.
Ying Jiuxiao has a very high prestige in Daqin, not to mention the support of the local people, and the policy of spreading the land from one person to another must be implemented. Even though some noble families in Great Qin were all opposed to it, Ying Jiuxiao was there and these people didn't dare to jump out.
Because if you jump out, you are courting death.
Ying Jiuxiao was not a benevolent monarch, and it was only now that his murderous intent was restrained. When Ying Jiuxiao was young, a disagreement would result in him being exiled or even killing someone. In the Qin Dynasty, Ying Jiuxiao once killed batches of ministers, making all officials fearful.
At this time, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and a chamberlain entered, walked to Wang Shun's side, and whispered something.
A smile appeared on Wang Shun's old face. He waved his hand for the chamberlain to step back, looked at the emperor, and said, "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, you are now a great-grandfather. Bai Yuyao, the wife of the Marquis of Linjia Town, has successfully given birth to a son. Mother and son are safe."
Bai Yuyao never changed her surname, and her surname was still Bai. However, everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that she was the prince's daughter.
This has entered the family tree.
When Ying Jiuxiao heard the news that Bai Yuyao had given birth to a son, he also beamed with joy and said happily: "Yao'er has given birth to a boy, very good, very good. Send a message to reward a pair of Ruyi jade from the Marquis' Mansion in Zhenguo, and a hundred pieces of brocade. In addition, , the son of the marquis of the town was decreed to be the marquis of Lantian County."
Wow! !
There was a sound of shock in the main hall.
He was born as a county marquis.
Many important officials in the imperial court, not to mention the county marquis, were not even the township marquis. Lin Feng's son directly became the county marquis.
Obviously this is Aiwujiwu.
Only with Lin Feng here can such a reward be given.
Bai Zheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am also happy that the Marquis of Zhenguo has a son. After the Marquis of Zhenguo came to Da Qin, he made great achievements. Just when the child was born, he was granted the title of County Marquis. Is it right? Would it be too ostentatious and easily arouse hostility?"
Ying Jiuxiao looked around at the crowd, snorted, and said forcefully: "My grandson is a county prince, who dares to have an opinion?"
The powerful momentum suddenly exploded.
Ying Jiuxiao has been in a high position for a long time. He is the emperor of Qin and he keeps his word. Now he is so angry that everyone is silent.
"Do you have any objections?"
"If you and others have any objections, let them come to the palace and tell me. When the Qin Dynasty faced conquests from various countries, who sent envoys to various countries on my behalf to resolve the crisis in the Qin Dynasty?"
"The Qin Dynasty first suffered from floods this year, and then suffered from epidemics and earthquakes, making its finances unstable. When there was a shortage of money, who donated money and materials to the court and solved the problem."
"What's more, Lin Feng's son is a descendant of the royal family, why can't he be a county prince?"
Ying Jiuxiao's voice echoed in the hall, full of majesty and anger. He glanced over and scolded: "Lin Feng is a marquis of the country and is already a marquis. His son is a county marquis, why not? Who wants it? be opposed to?"
Wang Tang said: "Your Majesty, I agree."
Zhang Yi also immediately expressed his position and echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, and I also think it is feasible."
The emperor rarely got angry anymore.
Once he gets angry, the mountains may collapse, and no one wants to anger the emperor.
With Wang Tang and Zhang Yi's statements, the others started to agree.
Lin Feng's relationship was relatively complicated. He was a person highly regarded by the emperor and had made great achievements in the Qin Dynasty. In addition, Lin Feng also married the prince's daughter and became the consort of the Qin Dynasty. Under this premise, Lin Feng was like a new upstart in the Qin Dynasty.
No one dared to object.
Things involving Lin Feng are the emperor's inverse scale and cannot be touched.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ying Jiuxiao's anger subsided and he waved his hands and said: "Okay, everyone, step aside. I'm going to Zhenguo Hou Mansion to see my little grandson."
All the courtiers respectfully retired.
Ying Jiuxiao thought about her little grandson, and felt happy again, and took Wang Shun out of the palace. At the same time, Wang Shun was also asked to inform Ying San and tell Lin Feng the news of Bai Yuyao's birth, so that Lin Feng from Guzang County would also know the situation.
The news about Heibingtai came very quickly. In less than three days, the news reached Guzang County and reached Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng suddenly became happy.
He became a father.
He has been a man for two lives. In his last life, he lived alone without marrying a wife or having children. Now that he has a wife and a child, he is excited to be a father for the first time. As for the title awarded by Ying Jiuxiao, Lin Feng didn't care much.
What he cares about is that he has a child and his own bloodline inheritance.
Lin Feng felt happy and thought that Huan Suzhi had returned to the county office today, so Lin Feng arranged for Huan Suzhi, Cui Yuantu and Wang Yue to come to his house for a drink.
Huan Suzhi, Cui Yuantu and Wang Yue arrived. After they sat down, Cui Yuantu took the lead and said, "Master Marquis invited us all here today. Is there anything good he can do?"
Lin Feng said: "There is news from Xianyang that Yuyao gave birth to a big fat boy for me. I, Lin Feng, have a son."
"Okay, this is a good thing."
When Cui Yuantu heard this, he became excited.
The old Marquis has a grandson, and the Lin family has descendants. This is a good thing. Thinking back to the past, when he heard that the Lin family was ransacked, he felt angry, but to no avail. Because he himself was in jail and had no choice.
Now, the Lin family is rising again.
For a moment, Cui Yuantu's heart was agitated, and there were tears in his eyes. He is Lin Yuanzhong's military advisor and Lin Yuanzhong's best friend. The deceased Lin Yuanzhong had descendants, the Lin family was inherited, and Cui Yuantu cried with joy.
Lin Feng saw this scene and knew what Cui Yuantu was thinking, and said with relief: "Uncle Cui, our future will be better and better. Not only is the Lin family going to spread its branches, I believe that my father's spirit is in heaven, and I also hope that you old brothers, You can also start a family and start a business, which is the best thing.”
Cui Yuantu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "For us people, it doesn't matter how old we are. Whatever makes us comfortable, we can do whatever we want."
Lin Feng wrote this down.
In the follow-up period, Bai Yuyao was asked to make arrangements and take care of the major life events of Cui Yuantu, Jiang Dushan, Zhao Feixiong and others.
Huan Suzhi picked up the wine glass and said: "I didn't expect that I would also become an uncle. This is a good thing. My dear brother, congratulations, I'd like to toast you."
"Brother, please."
Lin Feng picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine.
Wang Yue looked sad and said: "I met my dear brother last year. At that time, my dear brother had just gotten married. Now, my dear brother has a child and has built a huge business. I also respect my dear brother. A glass of wine and I wish my dear brother better and better."
"Thank you, brother."
Lin Feng naturally refused anyone who came and drank another glass of wine.
Four people were having a banquet in the hall, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the guests and hosts were enjoying the banquet.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Several people slowed down their drinking. After all, they were all a little tipsy after drinking so much.
Wang Yue put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "The reform of the good brother's work has been successful. How long can you stay in Guzang County?"
Lin Feng said: "I should leave next year at the latest."
Wang Yue said: "I serve as the prefect in Weiwu County. Although I can arrange government affairs, my rights are not restricted. It is not difficult to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. It only needs to be done in a regular manner. However, I am not satisfied with this. I I want to learn from my dear brother, develop the place, and let more people have enough food, clothing, and clothing to live a good life. How should I do this? I have no direction, so please give me some advice."
