Sister Xinghua pointed to the boundless fields and said loudly: "This land is all farm land! It is also your Majesty's land! Your Majesty is so kind to us people! Do you know? How much is the land tax here? ? 10%! Just 10%! Do you think His Majesty is a wise king?"
The refugees exploded with a bang!
10% land tax! It’s only 10%!
"Really?" someone asked.
Mrs. Xinghua glared at the man fiercely and said, "You don't believe it?"
The man remembered the situation of the refugee just now, trembled with fear, and said: "I believe it! I believe it! It's just that the land tax is too low, the old man can't believe it!"
Sister-in-law Xinghua didn't argue with him and said, "Yes, I have never heard of such a low land tax all the way from Henan. People from all over the country have it, and no one has heard of it!"
"But, these are your majesty's golden words! There is no mistake! These are the land taxes set by the imperial court! It's just that there are too many corrupt officials. They deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, but their reputation is damaged! I am most angry with these dogs. official!"
"Holy Emperor! Mingjun!"
The refugees were so moved that they shouted, and many shed tears.
"Ugh, it's all those evil gentry and dog officials! Your Majesty clearly agreed on 10%, but they took so much! Dog officials!"
"That's right! The dog officers Huo Weihua and Huang Yuntai collected 80% of the land tax as soon as they arrived at Tianjin Guards, and they also had to work hard to build the acropolis! If not for this, the Tianjin Guards would not be in chaos! Dog officers!"
All the refugees were shouting curses!
Sister-in-law Xinghua said loudly: "The death of these dog officials is near! Your Majesty has returned to the Jinluan Palace now, and he will definitely be severely punished! Folks! These dog officials who have harmed the country have harmed everyone, but they cannot be blamed on His Majesty! There will always be One day, Your Majesty will kill all these dog officials! We can all live a good life!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
The crowd roared louder than ever before.
Liu Mei was among them and shouted a few words.
But I thought to myself, this woman is so good at talking!
Sister-in-law Xinghua waited for everyone to stop and then said: "Everyone will gradually feel your Majesty's kindness in the future! Now let me talk about Master Huang!"
"Your Majesty is an eternal wise king and the destined emperor. Naturally, he will be assisted by capable people and ministers! Master Huang is the minister sent by God to assist His Majesty and save all people!"
"Aren't you curious about what is in this field? Let me tell you! This is the grain that Master Huang specially found! It's called sweet potato! The yield is very high! Master Huang said that the yield per mu is thousands of kilograms!"
"The yield per acre is ten thousand catties!"
The voices of the refugees were trembling!
Liu Mei was also extremely shocked. She really didn't expect that before she arrived at Dahuang Village, she had already learned two secrets that the outside world didn't know!
Especially for this food called sweet potato, if the yield per mu is really 10,000 jins, there will never be a food shortage in the Great Jin Kingdom again! Every winter, the lives of the Han people were extremely miserable, and food had to be provided first to the Jurchen masters...
Sister-in-law Xinghua said: "I know some of you must not believe it! It doesn't matter! The first batch of sweet potatoes will be harvested in these few days! By then, there will definitely be a huge crowd of people and it will be very lively. Everyone should go and see it with your own eyes! Hehe , you came at the right time!"
"To be honest, I'm also very curious! I'm not curious about the yield! Because that's what Master Huang said! He's right, and he's right! I'm curious about the taste of these sweet potatoes! I heard the Young Mistress and the Queen said, It tastes so delicious!
"The empress said that dried sweet potatoes can be made into dried sweet potatoes, which are chewy, fragrant and sweet! They are also delicious when made into sweet potato pancakes! They are just like eating honey and are as sweet as eating them! They can also be made into vermicelli, just like It can be eaten cooked like white noodles! It can also be eaten raw! It makes my mouth water..."
The refugees were already hungry, and many of them had their stomachs growling when they heard such delicious food. Everyone felt embarrassed at first, and then laughed.
Sister-in-law Xinghua also laughed out loud and was about to say something else when she saw an extremely luxurious phoenix hat being carried by dozens of people from behind, surrounded by a large group of luxuriously dressed servants in front and behind. At the front are more than forty sword-wielding guards wearing bright armor!
On both sides of it, two rows of escorts followed silently, walking on the dirt road under the cement road!
Follow me all the way!
Sister-in-law Xinghua and others felt a little baffled!
His Majesty the Emperor has also come here many times, but every time he travels lightly. Although there are a large number of guards, he is never so ostentatious!
This is not Your Majesty! And the queen is in the manor. This is not the queen. Who could it be?
When all the refugees saw this luxurious team, they all had uneasy expressions on their faces. Even though Mrs. Xinghua had just said such extravagant things, when they really met these noble people, the inner temperament of these people was revealed again!
"Why are you panicking! Keep moving forward! This is not your Majesty's coming!" Sister Xinghua shouted!
But she stopped because she saw Mrs. Liu Lin also stopped!
Wang Ergou ran over sweating profusely.
"Er Gou, what's the background of this?" Liu Lin asked.
Wang Ergou said angrily: "It's a noble person in the palace. What kind of saintly lady is telling us to ask the queen to come out to greet him?"
Liu Lin's face was a little ugly, and anger appeared on her face, "Let the empress welcome you? Such a big background?"
Wang Ergou said angrily: "That's right. We were originally going to stop them for questioning, but they were so arrogant that they almost took action!"
Mrs. Liu Lin nodded and said, "Have you sent someone to report it to the empress?"
Wang Ergou nodded and said, "Brother Erxiao took a shortcut on horseback!"
Mrs. Liu Lin said: "That's good, this is the sacred judgment of the empress!"
Wang Ergou said bitterly: "The noble man said that the road should be cleared, so everyone should stand in the fields and not block the noble man's way!"
Mrs. Liu Lin and Mrs. Xinghua both had angry expressions on their faces, but they had to listen to the noble man’s words!
Mrs. Liu Lin nodded and said: "I will make arrangements right away. Ergou, please talk to your brothers and don't have any conflicts with the nobles. In the end, it is us who will suffer. Now that His Majesty and the young master are not here, we have to endure everything. Understand?"
Ergou nodded, quickly returned to the team, and greeted all the guards.
Under the arrangement of Mrs. Liu Lin and Mrs. Xinghua, the refugees got off the cement road and stood by the roadside.
Fortunately, when Nongyi Village was planting, they followed the arrangement and specially set aside space for street trees. In addition, it is not easy to transplant saplings now, so everyone has a place to stay.
Everyone looked at the noble team with curiosity and a little nervousness.
"Kneel down to welcome me! I am honored by the Holy Empress!"
Before the team even approached, a eunuch shouted loudly.
The refugees knelt down beside the road with a roar!
