Regarding how to promote farmyard manure, and whether taxes should be increased to increase grain production after the promotion, it is not possible to come up with a specific regulation in a short time. It involves too much, and the water in it is very deep. Anyone who understands it...
…
Based on the efficiency of the current social environment, it will take no less than two or three years to implement these two things, especially the tax increase issue. If it is slower, it is estimated that it may be delayed for three, five, or ten years.
of!
Ordinary people have no control over their own destiny. They just follow the trend and wait for the policies from above to come down.
In addition to these, Li Qiu also told Yunjing some less important information.
One is that the previous mayor of Niujiao Town had his head chopped off, which left a vacant mayor position. Now, the new mayor has not yet been decided on who will be the new mayor.
The mayor of the town is already the lowest official in the dynasty's administrative system. Even at the lowest level, he is still a high-level official. A martial artist like Wang Putou is not even qualified to be a high-level official.
I heard from Li Qiu that there seem to be quite a lot of people who want to be the mayor of Niujiao Town. Many scholars who were originally qualified to serve as county magistrates want to be the mayor of Niujiao Town. There are even county magistrates in some poor counties who want to be the mayor.
Come down here!
The reason for this situation is still due to farmyard fertilizer.
You must know that Niujiao Town is the source of farmyard manure. The three words Niujiao Town have left a deep impression on the minds of many big shots. Once you become the mayor of Niujiao Town, you may do something and the big shots will know about it.
It became a meteoric rise.
It can be said that many people in the upper class may not necessarily know who the county magistrate of Xinlin County is, but they definitely know who the mayor of Niujiao Town is, including today. Just imagine, who wouldn’t want to be the mayor of a place like this?
Of course, this may be a hot potato, after all, so many people are watching, but there is a saying that wealth is gained through risk. For the sake of future and interests, some people take risks and want to be the mayor of Niujiao Town.
Li Qiu vaguely received news that the people vying for the position of mayor of Niujiao Town seemed to be losing their minds.
But no matter what, Li Qiu didn't mention him. It seemed that he had no share in it at all, even if he was the one who brought the farmyard fertilizer, which is beneficial to the country and the people and benefits the world forever...
In addition to the delay in fulfilling the position of mayor of Niujiao Town, Li Qiu also said something closely related to Yunjing. To be precise, it was something closely related to all the farmers in Niujiao Town.
It's good news, and the imperial edict has already been issued, but it's still on the way. Li Qiu learned about it in advance through his own channels.
That is, Niujiao Town is the source of farmyard manure. It is the 'birthplace' of something that benefits the country and the people and will benefit the present and the future. When the emperor learned about this, he had a smile on his face for a whole month. He didn't know
I was so happy. Long Yan was so happy that he wrote the words "Liangyuan Township" with a stroke of his pen. A brand new archway will be built after the imperial edict arrives.
In addition to the three words given by the emperor to Niujiao Town Liangyuan Township, there will be another policy that will come with the imperial edict, that is, from now on, we will be grateful for the contribution that Niujiao Town farmyard manure has made to the entire dynasty and billions of people in the future.
, farmers in Niujiao Town will never pay grain taxes in the future!
Farmers in Niujiao Town will never pay grain taxes, not for a year or a lifetime, but forever. At least as long as the Dali Dynasty is around, it is estimated that this policy will continue, and it is even possible that even if there is a dynasty change in the future, history books record
Without Niujiao Town, the birthplace of farmyard manure, it is estimated that subsequent dynasties would not be able to collect taxes.
After all, the birthplace of farmyard manure has ‘great merit’.
This news is very important to Yunjing and even all the farmers in Niujiao Town. There will be no need to pay taxes in the future, and with the increase in grain production, it is conceivable that the lives of farmers will become easier in the future, and they can all live a 'good life'.
In this regard, Yunjing had to say that the officials in the temple of the Dali Dynasty still had some conscience, and they actually lived by the four words "drink water and think of the source".
However, it is reasonable for such a policy to fall on Niujiao Town. After all, the popularization of farmyard fertilizer is really important to farming civilization, and it is important enough to be recorded in the history books.
Yunjing still thinks that the Dali Dynasty is a bit stingy. After all, Niujiao Town is only a big place. Even if the grain tax is never collected, for the entire Dali Dynasty, the 'loss' is probably not even a drop in the bucket, at most.
It’s just a speck of bacteria on a hair. If you want to avoid it, you have to be generous. It’s not too much to exempt the entire Xinlin County.
All in all, it was a good thing. Yunjing had to find an opportunity to inform his family of the good news as soon as possible.
The villagers who have been poor for generations, God, when they know that they will no longer have to pay taxes, Yun Jing can imagine how happy they will be.
Tsk, I don’t know if it’s because a bunch of officials don’t have time, or because of some special reasons, no one pays attention to the ‘real source’ of farmyard manure. In short, this matter is almost like that.
For Yunjing, this ending was a mixed bag of good and bad. There were no tangible benefits, but it also prevented him from becoming a 'thorn in someone's side'.
Days went on as usual.
On the sixth day after Yunjing received this news from his master Li Qiu, the imperial edict from the capital came. It was similar to what Li Qiu said. It was not yet decided whether promotion and food taxes would be added, but Niujiao Town was permanently free of food.
The imperial edict of taxation has really come, and the archway in Liangyuan Township is also being built. It is right in front of the old archway in Niujiao Town. The scale is really not small. Well, it is a face-saving project. It is built for the superiors to see.
When the news of the imperial edict spread, every farmer in Niujiao Town was overjoyed. Countless farmers knelt down in the direction of the capital and cried bitterly.
Can you not cry with excitement? From now on, whatever grain farmers grow is their own, God be merciful.
The happiest ones are probably the small landowners in Niujiao Town. They don't have to pay taxes, but the farmers who rent their land have to give them part of the food they grow. Tsk tsk, it's pure income.
After Yunjing found out about this, he cursed in his heart. As expected, no matter where he is, the people at the bottom will only suffer, and even if there are benefits, they cannot really fall on them.
Fortunately, Xiaoxi Village is too remote, and the farmers own their own land. Because it is too remote, it is not targeted by the landlords, otherwise Yunjing would probably cry without tears.
This was before, but now that the tax exemption policy is in place, you may be targeted!
Yunjing bluntly told his master Li Qiu this worry, and Li Qiu gave him reassurance, saying that although Li Qiu was a commoner, he would not mind killing a few people if he dared to take advantage of the villagers' land in Xiaoxi Village.
, and no one would say anything even if I thought about it.
As a result, Yunjing was completely relieved.
He secretly thought, yes, although there is obviously someone above who can suppress his master, but that person may be making trouble. The master is probably also angry, and if he really does something, as long as it is not too much, he will probably
There's no way anything could happen to him.
Yun Jing has already figured it out. Master has been suppressed even for his great merits and deeds such as farmyard fertilizer. You can imagine how terrifying the abilities of those who 'target him' are.
Realizing this, Yun Jing twitched the corner of his mouth at that time. As Li Qiu's disciple, he would not be implicated, right?
He didn't dare to ask his master, no matter what, he can study now. Even if he is implicated and cannot be an official in the future, it won't be a big deal. When an official has to worry about all kinds of bullshit, he often lives a cautious life on thin ice. There is no freedom.
The days are not comfortable.
He should still go to school and farm.
Autumn is about to begin, and the food in the fields will be harvested in about a month.
During this time, Yunjing suddenly discovered that Niujiao Town seemed to be much more lively than before. He also saw many unfamiliar faces. Those guys who didn’t know where they came from were running to the fields at the sight of the sky, either to look at this food store or to look at it.
At that farm, the accents of the strangers sounded like they were from other places. They all spoke Mandarin. When going to the fields to communicate with local farmers, they had to bring a translator or something.
Yunjing told his master about his discovery, and Li Qiu told him with a straight face to ignore those guys and pretend they didn't exist.
Then Yunjing probably understood who those strangers were. If his guess was correct, they must be from the capital city who came to do an on-the-spot investigation because of the issue of farmyard fertilizer. Think about it, farmyard fertilizer has caused such a big fuss, you can’t
When it comes to increasing grain production, just increase it. It has to look at the actual situation. If not, people will come.
The facts are before our eyes, but those people can't help but let them go if they don't believe it.
However, Yunjing did see some interesting scenes. Among those who came to the fields, some laughed and were extremely happy when they saw the food growing. Some people probably really care about the people and cried bitterly when they saw the food growing in the fields.
Runny nose.
During this time, Li Qiu warned Yunjing not to run around, presumably because he didn't want Yunjing to bump into those 'strangers'. After all, many of those strangers had extraordinary bearings at first glance.
One morning, Yunjing and his master Li Qiu took an ox cart slowly toward the school as usual.
The crops on both sides of the road are growing beautifully, and it’s pleasant to look at.
On the way, Li Qiu asked Yun Jing how he was studying recently and gave him a few pointers.
But as he spoke, Li Qiu suddenly shut up, frowned, and his whole expression became tense. A dangerous aura erupted from his body, and Yun Jing, who was so close at hand, felt chills all over his body.
"Huh!" Li Qiu soon relaxed and snorted coldly, and then said to the driver: "Let's go back, we won't go to school today!"
Yunjing was about to ask where I was, but then he also sensed that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, so he immediately shut up and refused to go to school. He just treated it as a free day off.
Yun Jing's senses were very sharp. At this moment, he felt that the surroundings were too quiet, and a subtle atmosphere spread in the air. If he wasn't following Li Qiu, he would have wanted to run away.
Li Qiu finished speaking, but the driver did not move. Then, when Yun Jing was stunned, he didn't even say a word, and ran away with the two guards beside him. He didn't know where he went in the blink of an eye.
You actually don't even care about your own master?
Li Qiu's mouth twitched but he didn't say anything.
Yun Jing scratched his head, looked at his master, and then at the scene where there was no living person within sight. He probably thought about it and said cautiously: "Master, how about I leave for a while?"
