Compared with Yunnan and Guizhou, which gradually began to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Qinghai Prefecture was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty for a short time. However, Qinghai Prefecture and Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture have become one of the most loyal territories of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with The difference between Qinghai Prefecture and Qinghai Prefecture is that as a prefecture that was personally managed by Li Ke, the people here are even more proud.
Because no other place has been personally managed by His Highness!
So when the decree of the Tang Dynasty was passed here, Iron Hammer was stunned for a moment after the meeting. No tax? Collect taxes and give back money? Is this a tax? Shouldn't this be called buying? !
While being stunned, Iron Hammer felt an indescribable pride. Look, this is their Highness, the Highness they believe in! Even though His Highness has not been here for several years, he still remembers them.
As for the fact that this policy was aimed at the entire Tang Dynasty, Iron Hammer had long since selectively forgotten it. In other words, His Highness spread it throughout the world because he was afraid that people in other states would be unbalanced.
Although the entire Qinghai Prefecture originally had a five-year tax holiday, and now there are still two years left, he still has to go back and explain this policy to his villagers.
Returning to his village, Tie Hammer summoned all the herdsmen in the village. After everyone came over, Tie Hammer said loudly: "Today I brought news from His Highness."
As soon as Tie Zhui's words came out, everyone in the whole village became commotion.
"What's the news? Hammer, hurry up and tell me."
"That's right, the village chief said quickly, what did His Highness say? Is His Highness coming to Qinghai?"
"What did His Highness say? Don't show off."
Listening to the commotion of the people below, Iron Hammer waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After everyone calmed down, Iron Hammer said loudly: "His Highness's message is not specifically for us, but His Highness has never forgotten us. , I just went to a meeting and received a notice from my superior."
"According to the latest decree signed by His Highness, starting from today, all places in the Tang Dynasty that pay agricultural taxes will be handed over to the Tang Grain Reserve Company. When we pay agricultural taxes in proportion, we will receive agricultural tax subsidies from the court."
"What do you mean? To put it bluntly, in the past, if we paid 10 kilograms of grain per acre, we would be done with it. But now, after paying 10 kilograms of grain, the Tang Grain Storage Company will subsidize us at a fixed price. 10 grains of money.”
"Although we still have a two-year tax holiday, we will start paying taxes after two years, and so will all the cattle and sheep we pay! For the cattle and sheep we hand over, Tang Reserves will subsidize us according to the market price!"
Iron Hammer looked at everyone and loudly announced the entire news.
As soon as Tie Hammer's words came out, everyone who understood them was dumbfounded, "No, Tie Hammer, are you fucking stupid?" A herdsman in his fifties jumped up from where he was and breathed out the fragrance.
"Why are you scolding me?!" Tie Hammer was stunned by the scolding.
"Why are you scolding you? Is it easy for us to have the life we have today? It's not easy! Without His Highness, everyone knows what kind of life we are living. But now we are living a good life. Not only can we have enough to eat, but we can even We can eat well. The cattle and sheep have become our own."
"His Highness has given us such good days. His Highness has arranged various jobs for us and given us various subsidies. From the time when His Highness first started to manage Qinghai to now, His Highness has given us things, and now we are waiting to pay taxes. Well, good guy, now you tell me that not only do I no longer need to pay taxes, but will your Highness pay you back if you pay the taxes?"
"I, Old Tuva, don't understand the truth, but I know that to maintain the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, we need to spend money! Where does the money come from? Doesn't it come from the taxes of the people all over the world? As a result, we don't pay taxes now, then Where did the money come from? Where did the soldiers who fought in the war get the weapons, horses, etc.?"
"It's not like we can't survive. Just based on the number of cattle and sheep that His Highness has stipulated before, each of our households will not be affected at all, and we are still living very well?!"
"As a result, we have always been favored by His Highness. Now, instead of being able to help His Highness, we have to continue to take money from His Highness? Hammer, are you fucking shameless?! Did I scold you wrong? During the meeting, you You should just refuse to the people above." Old Tuva said loudly.
"Yes! Old Tuva is right. Although you are the village chief now, Tiechui, and although we are now common people of the Tang Dynasty, we are also men of the grassland. Men of the grassland repay their kindness. What will you do to us in the future? To repay His Highness? I used to be able to go out and fight for His Highness, but now? His Highness doesn’t need old guys like us anymore. We don’t even need to fight. How can we repay His Highness in the future? "
"Yes, we grassland men must not know how to repay kindness! We can't help His Highness in other ways, and now we are not even allowed to pay taxes?"
Hearing the words of the people below, the Hammerman was dumbfounded. He jumped up from his seat and said loudly: "No, why are you scolding me? Did I have the final say on this matter?! This is His Highness's order. ! You won’t disobey His Highness’s orders, will you?! I am just a village chief, let alone me as a village chief, even our current governor of Qinghai, Qiao Shiwang, does not have the right to refuse!”
"I don't care. Anyway, you hammers don't have that, do you have that memorial? Although I don't know if you can write it, but you have to help us write this memorial. We can't control other people, but our village must continue to pay taxes! "Old Tuva said.
"Yes. Just write it here."
Looking at the shouting people, Tie Zhui was a little depressed. I said that I should not have been the village chief. If I had not been the village chief, I would be able to curse people now.
But now that everyone has opinions, Iron Hammer can only do this, "Then I will go to the township and the county to talk about it, but I don't know if it can be done."
"You'd better find a few village chiefs to unite. Hmm, there are some selfish little brats on the grassland." Old Tuva said.
Iron Hammer was a little speechless, you know that? Are you kidnapping someone else? This is His Highness's policy. What's wrong with others implementing the policy?
"Don't look at me. With such selfish people, His Highness probably won't be able to count on them in the future. Anyway, if we are willing, just go ahead and say it."
Iron Hammer could only agree reluctantly, "Let me say it first. It may not work if I say it."
"You're right. There are many short-sighted people on the grassland. They don't understand. Although we are paying taxes and spending some money, what is the money used for? To make Datang better and stronger. .The Tang Dynasty is better and more powerful, and our good days will last longer."
"We are just beasts that eat wild mice and yellow sheep. How can we dream of eating swans and cranes?"
"When we receive kindness, we must know how to repay it, no matter how poor we are. If we don't know how to repay kindness, then there will inevitably be incompetent people in the next generation. By then, beasts will be able to cross in front of them, and mice will dare to cross in front of them. Go behind the scenes!"
