After Second Sister You was taken out of Rongguo Mansion, she was very sad at first.
However, under the persuasion of the third sister that it was important to preserve the fetus, she gradually put away her sorrow and raised the fetus with peace of mind.
The days passed by, and before I knew it, it was autumn.
The annual autumn tax has also officially begun.
Taiping County's tax collection is still the fastest.
In fact, all the wealthy families in Taiping County were killed by the governor Feng Qi to the point of being frightened.
Besides, they had also made money in the glassware business, so naturally they would no longer object to paying the autumn tax, which was a drop in the bucket.
The people of Taiping County have also benefited from the changes, and their income has increased slightly compared to previous years.
In the future, with the popularization of the two-year and three-crop farming model and the promotion of three new crops, income is bound to continue to increase.
The agricultural tax set by the government is actually not high. For more than 95% of the people, it is not too difficult to come up with this money.
As for a very small number of extremely poor farmers, after detailed investigation and confirmation that there is no fraud, agricultural taxes can be directly reduced or exempted.
Under such circumstances, Taiping County completed the collection of agricultural taxes in just half a month.
Taiping County has more than 2.6 million acres of cultivated land, and each mu of land is levied two taels of silver. In the end, the agricultural tax was 520,000 taels of silver.
The money was quickly delivered to the household department and recorded in the accounts.
And this number once again caused a stir among the Gonggun princes in the court.
This is only one county, but it has collected as much as 520,000 taels of silver.
There are a total of 189 counties in Daxia.
If the changes can be extended to the entire Great Xia, 98.29 million taels of silver will be collected.
After getting this number, both Emperor Chongkang and the princes in the court couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This number is ten times the current agricultural tax in Daxia!
Even among the counties in the world, there may not be as much land as Taiping County, and they cannot collect so much agricultural tax.
After discounting the agricultural tax of more than 98 million taels, even if we can only receive 60 to 70 million taels of silver, that would be great.
Then add in the commercial tax, salt, iron, tea and other taxes, and the annual income will be hundreds of millions of silver.
(The annual tax revenue of the mid-Qing Dynasty was about 70 to 80 million taels of silver, and the annual tax revenue of the late Qing Dynasty was about 120 to 140 million taels of silver. Therefore, the tax revenue of hundreds of millions of taels is not an exaggeration.)
If we can really collect so much tax, will the various difficulties Daxia is currently facing still be a problem?
Daxia's internal and external troubles will be defeated without any attack!
Daxia will surely enter its prosperous age again.
The amount of taxes collected in Taiping County has once again shaken the beliefs of some conservative officials.
And Emperor Chongkang is preparing to continue his efforts and prepare to expand the place of change to Changzhi Prefecture next year.
If Changzhi Prefecture can also successfully reform, then next year only Changzhi Prefecture's agricultural tax will be able to collect seven to eight million taels of silver.
The agricultural tax collected by a mere state is comparable to the agricultural tax currently collected by the entire country of Daxia in one year.
There are thirteen states in the whole of Daxia, if the change can be successfully promoted in one state.
Then we can continue to promote it to other states later.
If everything goes well, Emperor Chongkang feels that it will only take ten or twenty years to comprehensively promote changes throughout Daxia.
And he is currently in his prime and can accomplish this feat during his tenure.
By then, Daxia will definitely be able to create a prosperous age again.
And he will definitely leave his name in history and become an eternal sage!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongkang was very ambitious and looked forward to his future ambitions.
…
Jia Huan's little life was very leisurely every day.
He practiced martial arts every day and ordered Mr. Mo to make something.
Then we went to the Grand View Garden and met the sisters - of course, most of them were looking for Sister Lin.
During this period, various poetry clubs and Ci clubs were also indispensable.
Among these poetry clubs, Jia Huan chose Zangzhuo.
The reserve of poems in his mind that was not available in this era was quite large.
But there is no need to blindly show off to others.
Therefore, in every poetry club and Ci club, Jia Huan basically writes poems and lyrics based on his own true level.
Well, compared with Jia Baoyu, his level is on par, but still lower than Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
All the girls said that he was hiding his clumsiness, and Jia Huan accepted it happily without trying to distinguish it.
Jia Huan's height actually grew taller, and his body became stronger.
Recently, Jia Huan began to learn archery from Liu Xianglian.
Jia Huan had no dream of becoming a general.
However, it is always good to master one more self-defense skills instead of relying on your skills.
It's September, and it belongs to the third autumn. I see that in another two or three months, this year will pass again.
At this moment, something big happened that caught Daxia off guard.
General Yeluqi of the Jin Kingdom led tens of thousands of cavalry and suddenly raided Xuanfu.
The Xuanfu defense army did not get any information first, and was caught off guard. They lost the city almost in one day.
Soon, the news was reported to the capital at a speed of eight hundred miles.
Starting from the time when Emperor Kang was worshiped, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very angry after hearing the news.
Quickly prepare supplies and manpower to prepare for the aftermath.
In fact, after every autumn harvest, the Kingdom of Jin always likes to organize small groups of cavalry to raid the borders of Daxia, plunder and then return with a full load.
Because the border between the two countries is too long, Daxia does not have enough soldiers to guard it.
The Jin cavalry was extremely mobile, so Daxia could only defend passively and found it difficult to counterattack.
He didn't dare to pursue too deeply.
All the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom grew up on horses, and their riding skills were superb. Their field combat capabilities far exceeded those of the Daxia cavalry.
Regarding the Jin Congress's attack on Xuanfu, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not take it seriously at first.
However, this Jin army did not retreat after taking Xuanfu. Instead, they decisively went deep into Daxia to plunder.
As a result, Emperor Chongkang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not tolerate it.
You just robbed and ran away, but now you have come to my hinterland of Daxia to plunder, which is unbearable!
Don’t I, Daxia, don’t want to lose face?
Now that you're here, don't leave!
Next, Emperor Chongkang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to mobilize troops and generals to encircle and intercept the Jin army.
He vowed to eliminate it within Daxia.
However, this golden army is as slippery as a loach.
After being surrounded several times, he was actually allowed to run out.
They seem to be able to discern every deployment of Daxia, and they can successfully escape from the weakest place surrounded by Daxia's army every time.
There's something weird everywhere in here.
And just three days later, the Jin Kingdom's army actually appeared a hundred miles away from the capital.
And the Jin army is not tens of thousands of people, but a full army of 200,000! (End of chapter)
