My Koi Fish Wife

The content clearly stated the origin and basic information of their National Government, including their reasons for overthrowing the Wang family, and the current situation in the entire southwest region.

Then he made some promises on behalf of the National Government and some prospects for the future.

Finally, the first policy directive was drafted and implemented: changing the original 50% tax per year to two levels of tax per year.

As soon as this policy came out, it shocked people across the province.

What does a 20% tax mean? Even farmers who grow crops can understand this meaning.

Because this land is ruled by the Wang family, it belongs to the Wang family. Since they farm and do business on their territory, they naturally have to pay a certain amount of tax as a kind of feedback, which is a kind of protection.

A 50% tax, in other words, means that farmers in the countryside have to pay half of the total grain harvest every year, and business people have to pay 50% of the total profits every year.

It was also because of this policy that gradually led to the decline of the southwest region. 50% of the income, whether from farming or doing business, was basically devoted to the Wang family.

This is also the reason why so many bandits have emerged in recent years. The fundamental reason why some places become poorer if they go further.

Because half of the harvest was turned in, the whole family didn't dare to open their stomachs to eat. Half of the food sounds like a lot, but this half has to support the whole family until next year's autumn harvest, so half of the food Where is enough to eat?

Compared with farmers who farm, businessmen are better off. Although they are given half of the profits, as long as they control costs, increase selling prices, and then do some tricks in the general ledger, they can definitely fool them.

In addition, local merchants usually deal with government officials. As long as the relationship is handled well, they can succeed every year if they give their wishes.

After all, food is more important than money. Food is the basis for survival. Without food, no amount of money is of much use.

Therefore, the annual delivery of grain is very strict and a fixed output is set as the standard for review.

Although the news of this has not spread to the towns and villages, it is also a great good thing for the people in the provincial capital at this moment, because it means that the family will have more savings in the future.

The businessmen who did business even applauded. If it was only 20%, it would be completely within the range that everyone could bear. In the future, there would be no need to take risks or give the local new government a lot of money to smoothen relations.

So everyone easily accepted the existence of the National Government, and they didn't have much emotion or opinion about the replacement of the supreme ruler. In short, they were very calm.

Originally, for the basic masses, their requirements were not high. It was enough for them to have enough to eat and live a peaceful life.

Yan Ze immediately made such a policy as soon as he took office. It must be said that this move instantly won everyone's favor.

Coupled with the reasons clearly stated in the announcement, this has deepened everyone's understanding of the National Government. At least this kind of behavior makes the masses feel comfortable, instead of being unclear and confusing. people's attitude.

Frankly speaking, for the people, they don't pay much attention or care to who is the ruler. After all, it is far away from everyone and it is not their choice. As long as they are not starved.

Therefore, Yan Ze won the praise of the whole city the first time he took action.

This busy work was sorted out from the morning until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. There was no big problem. The main thing was that there were a lot of miscellaneous and trivial things, so it took a long time.

"Busy working?"

When Qin Yiling saw Yan Ze entering the room, he quickly handed him a cup of refreshing tea.

"Well, I've sorted out everything for the time being. I'll probably be busy for the next two or three days."

Yan Ze took the tea cup and drank more than half of it in one breath. The Wang family left a lot of messes, many places were not perfect, and there were many loopholes.

If we want the entire southwest region to operate effectively, we must first improve Rongcheng, the provincial capital, before other counties can effectively replicate it.

"I found an interesting place, do you want to go take a look?" Qin Yiling winked playfully.

Yan Ze couldn't help but become interested, "Oh? Let's go and have a look."

So, Qin Yiling took Yan Ze's hand and walked all the way to a house.

Yan Ze is currently not familiar with the layout of the Marshal's Mansion, so he doesn't know where it is at this moment.

Qin Yiling opened the door. The room was filled with daily objects, but it was covered with a lot of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time and had been cleaned.

However, the layout and decoration of the house are very good, and the identity of the person who lived before it must be unusual.

Yan Ze had doubts in his heart, but he knew that his wife was not a random person, and she must have brought him here because she had discovered something.

Therefore, he didn't ask any questions and just followed her quietly.

Qin Yiling stepped into the room, glanced briefly, and walked straight to the left.

After she walked to the wall, she looked around the wall, then reached out and knocked on the wall, listened with her ears, and touched it with her hands.

"Is there something inside this wall?"

Yan Ze followed him to the wall and roughly understood his wife's behavior.

Qin Yiling gave an appreciative look, then took out two Swiss knives from the storage space, and handed one to Yan Ze.

"I don't feel like there is any mechanism. Let's try it with a knife first."

Because this wall is very complete, it doesn't look like there is an organ installed. The most important thing is that the sound of knocking on the wall is very solid, without the echo generated by the hollow.

"I'm coming."

Yan Ze took the Swiss knife and plunged it into the wall. However, except for the handle of the knife that was deeply embedded in the wall, there was no change or any cracks on the wall.

The couple looked at each other. There was indeed something wrong with the wall. It was too strong!

The materials used to build walls today are not that strong, so it was obviously built on purpose.

Qin Yiling naturally knew that there were good things in this room, otherwise she would not have brought her brother Ze here.

In fact, she felt it when she entered the Marshal's Mansion last night, but she was busy dealing with the Wang family at that time and had no time to take care of it.

It wasn't until after lunch today that she felt it carefully. There was something good hidden in the Marshal's Mansion. As for what it was specifically, she couldn't detect it.

She has had the ability to sense the existence of good things since she was a child, and even the specific location, but she was unable to sense what they were.

And this was not the only place where good things were hidden in the Marshal's Mansion, which really surprised her.
