Great Husband of the Northern Song Dynasty

Most of the food on the table was eaten, and the hot tea was served by the woman.

A few chicken nests dozed off in the dirt pit they had dug out, with a few chicken feces on the side.

"This is the day of the people."

Zhao Xu pointed to the chickens and said, "They are better, they can find a livelihood in the city. But in the countryside, those farmers can only count on the fields, but the days are hard, the dry cake to eat ... Brought back some time, look at your father. "

He drew out a packet of oil paper from his arms and opened it to be a dry cake.

"There are grass roots in this cake and it is also mixed with soil."

"Crypto merchant!" Zhao Shu ate a small piece and found it difficult to swallow. He stopped his wife's attempt and asked, "Do people eat this?"

"This dry cake is still a good thing for them." Zhao Xu said: "That is not a profiteer, but cheap. Cheap things are naturally not good."

"How about the exemption money? What about the bank?" Zhao Shu was a little depressed, feeling that his efforts seemed to be in vain.

"Both the exemption money and the money bank are good, but if the people's days are better, they have to give them more benefits, father, would you like to see it?"

Today's event is just an introduction, the purpose is to let Zhao Shu see the real life of the people.

"it is good."

Then the group left the Imperial City again, but this time Gao Tao did not go with him, but went back early.

A group of people went to Caishu Village later. The first sentence of those villagers who saw Zhao Xu was: "Did Lang Jun come to give dry cakes?"

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded. Someone used to distribute dry cakes.

Then came the inspection.

Zhao Shu's family looked at the past.

"Today's official family is kind, we don't need to serve in such portals. When we run out of money, we can borrow at a low interest rate. The villain thinks this is a prosperous age."

The old peasants' eyes are poisonous, and they have long seen that Zhao Xu's origin is not simple, but Zhao Xu is willing to ask the dried cakes, and they are also willing to pretend to be stupid.

But today, Zhao Xu ’s father came and looked very majestic. They squeezed their eyebrows for a while, after all, they did n’t dare to flicker.

The people that Zhao Shu just saw are very simple. There is not much wheat flour in the jar. Most of the oil tanks have only a shallow layer.

The key is children.

Zhao Shu watched a group of children running wildly in front, and the two children were chased and fell together. One of the foreheads bleeds and one nose bleeds, but after their parents passed, the first thing turned out not to worry about the children, but to drink Scolding and blaming them for staining their clothes.

"Tomorrow will let you live naked."

One of the parents who gritted their teeth gave a reward of fifty cents, and then the child slapped, looking at the listless.

"Dirty to wash, the more broken the clothes are washed."

Zhao Shu turned around and saw a son with a heavy look.

"Dad, farmers can only plan food in the field. If they want to make their lives better, they can only lower their taxes. But can the Song Dynasty lower the taxes?" Zhao Xu asked seriously.

After thinking about it, Zhao Shu said very seriously: "Not at present, otherwise it will be difficult to continue."

The agricultural tax is the lifeblood of Song Dynasty, and even the most benevolent Zhao Zhen will not lower the agricultural tax.

"That's how the farmer's life goes? What if there is a famine? They don't have much money in their home."

"There is disaster relief!" Zhao Shu said a little melancholy.

"But one famine is enough for them to break their homes and become beggars." Zhao Xu is puzzled: "Why can't we change the following rules?"

This was like a stick, and hit Zhao Shu's forehead at once.

He covered his forehead and muttered, "This ..."

Zhao Xu said, "Daddy, come and see."

He took Zhao Xu to a family who was dozens of steps away from the village. When he entered, he walked back. The male owner jumped anxiously, but was blocked by the accompanying guard.

Only entered the backyard, and the smell of raising chickens came across.

The yard is full of cages, hundreds of chickens clucking and calling in the cage.

This is the first time Zhao Shu has seen so many chickens.

"The villain is guilty."

The male master knelt in the back and was heartbroken.

"What is the crime of raising chickens?"

Zhao Shu smiled, and the man choked: "The villain sold chickens and chickens privately."

"Sold to people around." Zhao Xu added.

Zhao Shu looked slightly black, and asked, "These chickens look good, you are afraid it is not cheap to feed them."

He was looking for reasons for the man, otherwise he would have to let the man dispose of the man later.

So many chickens! Here can catch up with the sellers of chickens in Bianliang City, it is not wrong to say that it is a businessman.

The man looked up, "Villa ... villa ... Dare not say."

Zhao Shu snorted, and the man also knew that this was a noble person, bowed his head and said: "The villain uses ... with maggots."

Zhao Shu's throat surged a few times, and I felt that I would not have to eat today.

"Grow chickens with maggots! Can you eat them?"

Zhao Shu looked at the man and his throat surged a few times.

The man feels that things are not good, and he has a strong desire to survive. He quickly explained: "There are also earth dragons. The chickens raised are fat, the eggs are laid hard, and the family eats them all. It ’s okay. It ’s okay."

Earth dragon is an earthworm.

Zhao Shu closed his eyes and felt sick just after imagining it.

"Dad, his maggots are not in the dunghole."

Zhao Xu also retched, "Come and see."

He took Zhao Shu to a room outside, pushed the door open, and a strange smell struck.

There was a lot of stuff in it, and it was still stuffy.

"Is that rice bran? There is cow dung? There are chicken feathers ... a lot of things."

"The baby asked someone to check his house and found these." Zhao Xu said his arrangement, indicating that it was not arranged in advance, then turned back and said: "Qiao Er went in to plan."

Followed by Qiao Er felt that this was his chance to perform. He excitedly took the dung fork and went in, digging up the pile of things according to Zhao Xu's explanation.

In an instant, countless dense maggots caught their eyes, and rolled down along the way, onto Qiao Er's shoe upper and calf.

"what……"

Qiao Er, a patient with intensive disease, screamed and ran out, jumping wildly on the edge of the chicken coop.

"Dad, how can you think of such cheap chicken breeding methods?"

Zhao Shu slowly turned around, the chickens were groaning, hay was piled under the cage, eggs and chicken droppings fell below, looking at the exceptional harmony.

All thoughts in Zhao Shu's heart flashed.

Mr. Zhao Shuran, then walked out slowly. When he walked outside, he ordered: "Buy him a few chickens and go back, and buy some chickens."

On the way back to the city, Zhao Shu has been silent. After entering the palace, he went directly to his ancestors to speak.

Gao Tao was worried, but he was not qualified to go there.

"Is it necessary to abolish Dalang's prince?"

She was a little flustered.

There are no signs in the hall, only the incense is insignificant.

"... The eyes of those people are all hopes, I saw the panic, I do not know why."

"......"

He said for a long time until late at night. Then people made chicken and chicken to cook, and they ate in silence.

At the Xiaochao meeting the next day, Zhao Shu suddenly mentioned the taxation of the people.

"The people are suffering, I went to the village outside the city to check yesterday, it is really bitter."

Zhao Shu's words made Han Qi and others only guilty.

"In order to save food, they lie down with nothing, saying they are so hungry. I am ashamed."

Zhao Shu's words made Zaifu's heads lowered.

"Did Zhu Qing ever hear that maggots and earthworms raise chickens?"

This question is like flying immortals, Han Qi wondered: "Maggots raise chickens, how can they be eaten? The toilet ... It's hard to say a word!"

He felt that it took great courage to catch maggots from the latrine to feed the chickens.

"No, it's the maggots I made myself." Zhao Shu remembered the maggot pile yesterday, and couldn't help but vomit. "Someone made maggots with cow dung and rice bran, etc., used to feed the chickens. Those chickens are fat and lay eggs Qin also. "

"Huh!" Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Can you think of such a method?"

"A farmer came up with it." Zhao Shu smiled.

"Your Majesty, can that chicken be eaten?" Han Qi is a foodie and is naturally picky about the ingredients.

"If you can eat, this is a good thing."

Zhao Shu nodded, "I ate last night, no harm."

The emperor even went to try it himself, so that Zaifu could not help but awe.

"I don't care about this method of raising chickens, what I care about is the people's thoughts." Zhao Shu said with emotion: "Those taxes that shouldn't have to be stopped."

"Now the taxation of the Song Dynasty is increasing every year ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It is slightly exempted, what does Zhu Qing think?"

Han Qi said in a hand: "Those taxes were exempted in the same year, but they were repeated a little later, and they thought they should be more severe.

Zeng Gongliang praised: "The officials of the official family have been ashamed of their hearts. In the past, the officials only focused on the affairs of the central government, but ignored the staring at the officials. Those taxes are not much, but the people can be relaxed, and the officials think it is feasible.

"Yeah! Let the people eat enough." Bao Zheng felt that the official family was really transparent. "After the exemption law, the people's lives are much better, and Jin Feidan increases their income. After the Northwest is settled, the tax will be returned. Can be lower, Your Majesty, people ’s life will be better then! "

Han Qi said: "Officials, have to let Yu Shitai pass the following Yu Shi, let them stare at the tax. And, dare to ask ... who are these people seeing?"

"This matter ..." Zhao Shu looked at his silent son and smiled: "This matter was found after the prince went down."

Zaifu looked at Zhao Xu together, and expressed admiration to the king who did not say anything.

"The prince went down to the place to investigate and follow those people to eat and live together. Only then did they know the suffering of the people."

Zhao Shu said with some pride, "I am ashamed of what he said. I think taxation should be reduced or exempted, so I take it for granted. So, when the world is written, from today on, people will trade in bits and pieces. Pay taxes. "

Zhao Xu came to work, but only felt happy in his heart, "Your Majesty is wise."

Jasuke bowed, "Your Majesty is brilliant."

The decree immediately left the palace.

Immediately, Bianliang boils.

Fourth, there is even more.
