3140. Chapter 3140 Secret forces [01]

"What if it's Yun Feiyang?'

Xiufeng asked.

The clouds are flying...

A coldness flashed in Shen Mingzhu's eyes, and she hummed, "No see."

Yun Feiyang was nothing, she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian arranged things in the shop and asked people to protect Pei Shengnan. Then she found a sunny day and left Fengcheng with Xiao Xian.

This time they naturally disguised themselves again and dressed up as ordinary businessmen. As the caravan left, they were very skilled in disguise and could pretend to be anything they wanted. Moreover, no one was under martial law and would not conduct strict interrogations. Naturally,

There won't be any problem anymore.

Shen Mingzhu naturally had a plan when he came to the Yun family this time. The plan was not just about opening a shop, but also included other contents.

Her subordinates discovered coal mines, iron ores, etc. in the endless mountains, and even discovered black water!

Black water is oil.

How could Shen Mingzhu not be excited? Even if there was no such thing as the Living Buddha, she would still find an opportunity to come, not to mention having such a good excuse.

And in order to get rid of the entanglement of the emperor and others, she even arranged a perfect escape plan.

Although the thirty-two counties in the four states of the Yun family belong to Da Qin, they are different from other counties in Qin.

Because this place has not been affected by war for many years, neither the terrain nor the humanities have been damaged or changed much.

The Yun family even retains some gentry style similar to that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

For example, several big families: the Yun family, the Lin family, the Huang family, the Chu family, etc., are considered aristocratic families here, while there are some other families that are emerging and can be considered common people.

It's just that this kind of gentry and common people are not in opposition like the gentry and poor families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties in history, but they exist harmoniously and unified on the earth.

Naturally, since the world is now dominated by the Qin Dynasty, some of the privileges of the gentry have also been deprived, such as the privilege of becoming an official without the need for imperial examinations, but only with filial piety and integrity.

At the same time, they also retain some of their privileges, such as no need to pay taxes!

For the Yun family and several major families who have no political voice, this is the greatest benefit.

The land within the Yun family has been almost divided between them. Several major families have their own territories, and there is also land for ordinary people.

But there are only a few, and many of them work for a few big families.

That is, tenants.

It's just that the land here is very rich, and even the tenants are much better off than those in other places.

At least I'm well fed and clothed.

This is also where the old man of the Yun family is proud.

Although the land does not need to be taxed, the minerals still belong to the Qin court, and the Yun family has no power to manage them.

They can't mine privately either, the court has dedicated personnel to keep an eye on it.

The imperial court's right to speak here was largely reflected in mining and salt affairs. After all, the Yun family was responsible for agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts.

Not paying taxes is tantamount to giving the initiative to them.

Moreover, the Yun family has a policy to encourage land reclamation, that is, the land reclaimed from wasteland does not need to pay taxes for five years. After five years, the taxes paid in the first three years will only be one-third of the normal land.

This tax naturally has to be paid to the Yun family.

After all, for a family like the Yun family, they don't work personally, but they still need a lot of money to maintain a luxurious life.
