The news of the trial implementation of the "rich tax" in Dongjing City spread quickly. When the Zhang Jiajun attacked Jiuwu City, the two foolish kings were acting like this again. The people were completely disappointed. Everyone only hoped that Dongjing City would consider the overall situation.
Don't argue with the emperor.
Each of the four border towns of the New Year Kingdom has its own "characteristics". The Southern Border City guards the resource-rich World of Warcraft Forest. It originally made a living from the slave trade. In recent years, due to the foolish king's nonsense, the "population business" cannot be done, and it can only engage in "foreign trade".
Business", ruined
It is also impressive, and the economy is no worse than before; the northern border has a vast city and sparsely populated areas, a great threat from the northern tribes, and a harsh environment in "every sense". It has been the slowest developing region in the country for many years, but a few years ago, the Holy Land
The Lord and Dean of Warcraft went to war, and the Ministry
The tribe moved south, and two masters, Ji Xinyun and Zhang Kang, took charge. The situation became much more stable. Now it is the largest producer of animal husbandry, meat and fur in the country, and the situation is gradually improving. The West Border City has always been a special existence of the New Year Country, and the "National
"The Kingdom of China" nominally belongs to the New Year Kingdom, but whether it is taxation or official selection, the imperial court has no control at all. Now that Zhang Zaitian has sent troops to the capital for revenge, how can anyone predict the future situation? Then there is the East Border City. As a domestic

, the overall financial revenue of the Eastern City is particularly high, contributing one-third of the New Year's tax revenue. However, the problem is that the gap between the rich and the poor in the Eastern City is huge. Almost everyone's production materials have been absorbed by the powerful and wealthy through various means.
, although ordinary people can't starve to death, it is difficult to get rid of their lower-class status. Moreover, East Border City and West Border City are similar in some aspects. They rely on their economic advantages to coerce the imperial court, coupled with the internal support of the five princes Jianlan Chanhuahuai, officials
Promotion is also "operated independently". Because in Yu
When Birdman came to the throne, the five princes "sung praises" and supported "splitting the power of Prince Ji's Palace" in public opinion and actions, which made Crow happy. He was also reluctant to deal with Dongjing City. In recent years, Dongjing City and its belongings

It is almost completely closed. Even Yang Yin's multiple orders and even personal "visits" are of no avail. They only change the "middle and low-level" a little bit. However, even this "little" change is not affected by the "whole body" of Dongjing City.
strongly opposed.
A restaurant in a market in Eastern City.
"Hey~ Isn't this Brother Jia from Baling Village? Long time no see." Someone said hello.
"Oh, it turns out to be Xiao B from Jiuling Village." A smiled, "Come on, come on, sit down and have a drink."
Brothers who had not seen each other for many years were extremely cordial when they met. They toasted, drank, and chatted about family and state affairs.
"Brother, have you heard about the recent rich tax?" B asked tentatively.
"How could you not have heard of it?" A smiled, "Everyone knows it."
"Brother, what do you think?" B asked.
"What else can you say? Just bear with it." A said, "This world is really chaotic. These two foolish kings will never give up until the country is ruined."
"Oh, yes." B said, "These two foolish kings have implemented a lot of bastard policies in recent years, squandered countless amounts, and caused misery to the country."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if they are just squandering, the main reason is that the trouble is too serious." A said.
"That's not true." B said, "Let's just say 'women's school'. Alas, how can we do something that goes against the ancient teachings? As the old saying goes, 'It is virtue for a woman not to be talented'. How wise and how wise our ancestors are.
They are so smart, and what they say is never wrong, how can they go against it. It is unreasonable to let girls go to school! It is unreasonable! If this continues, won't the country be in chaos?"
"Yes, yes." A said, "I heard from the Yuniao people that Yushuoqian was disrespectful when they were in Prince Ji's Mansion. They are indeed two bastards who don't recognize their ancestors. Not letting girls go to school is the wisdom passed down from the ancients. It is absolutely
It shouldn’t change.”
"Also, and more," B said, "Not only are the 'girls' schools' now, but also the 'National Kindergarten' that has been implemented in the Eastern City since Yang Yin's visit a few years ago is also nonsense. There are so many children at such a young age.
If you don't receive the traditional education from your parents at home, how can you go to school and mess around? We are all farmers with proper duties, so why go to school? Can we eat if we can write? It's better to plant a few seedlings in the fields."
"I heard that many children have been taught bad things in school. They don't even distinguish between grains and livestock. Tell me, tell me, what should I do?" A said, "Fortunately, my family didn't go."
"My child didn't go either." Yi said with a smile, "My child has always been at home, and I taught him how to farm and feed pigs step by step. Now he is so good that he can easily recognize grains and livestock, and he works very quickly. Once in the city
The children here foolishly went to the countryside to "see the world" and saw me
The children at home were plowing the fields, and they were so excited that they surrounded him asking questions and admired him very much. Hahaha, city kids, haha, it’s really not good. They have no knowledge. They will suffer hardships in the future." Whenever I think of it.
When the silly kids from the city gathered around his swarthy son, he was shocked.
I am particularly excited and always praise loudly how wise I am for not letting my children go to school. "The craft of farming is passed down from our ancestors, and the grains and livestock are also passed down from our ancestors. The new policy has made city people unable to do both."
, it’s really useless. It’s better to be a rural child,
From now on, the country will depend entirely on our children." The more he spoke, the happier he became. "Just wait, stupid children of the rich. You will know nothing. You will be useless when you grow up. You will cook, sweep the floor, build toilets, and build houses...
You have to hire us, and we have to earn your money. Hahaha..."
"But having said that, not all villages can do it now." A said, "Qiling Village, Liuling Village, Wuling Village... are too closed and too backward, too old-fashioned in their ideas, and they don't understand anything; Lingling Village and Yi
Lingcun is a bunch of rubbish that can neither endure hardship nor offend, and they don’t know the principle of ‘Hardship is blessing’. Only our Baling Village and Jiuling Village are okay.”
"Yes, yes, the East Border City depends entirely on the Eight Ling Village and the Jiuling Village. Without us, the country will perish." Yi smiled, "Actually, the Qiling Village, Liuling Village, Wuling Village... are just fine, zero
Lingcun and Yilingcun are just too bad. The children in those two villages all imitate the children in the city and spend a lot of money to go to school. Damn, what the hell? If you have the spare money, why not go out and gamble a few times and win some money to buy meat?
Where’s the wine?”
"I heard that the children in Lingling Village and Yiling Village only play with some magic crystal toys, rarely get close to nature, and don't know how to catch fish, catch shrimps, hide and seek." A smiled, "Oh~ it's still ours.
Good luck to the children in Baling Village and Jiuling Village. Speaking of going into the water to fish for shrimps, your third son hid in the river last year and drowned?"
"Yeah." Yi said nonchalantly, "There are so many children. If they drown, they will drown. It doesn't matter." He said proudly, "The children in our Baling Village and Jiuling Village are not like those in Lingling Village and Yiyi Village."
The children in Lingcun are so delicate, it’s not a big deal if one or two of them die.”
"Children from Lingling Village and Yiling Village are really 'golden'," A mocked. "I heard that their parents are very doting on them. They buy fresh milk, rice and vegetables shipped from Beijing City every morning... Tsk, tsk, tsk, too much.
It’s a waste. Children’s things will last as long as they starve to death. As the old saying goes, spoiling a child is like killing a child. How can you be too good to a child?”
"Isn't that right? If we don't let children endure hardship, they will definitely be disabled in the future. When the children in Lingling Village and Yiling Village grow up, they will cry." B said. "Anyway, all kinds of messy national policies will
The child is useless."
"That's right." A said, "I remember that one year, the female fool came out with a 'no domestic violence' policy. Bah! What the hell! As the old saying goes, 'filial sons emerge from under the stick.' The words of our ancestors are education.
Who listened? How can we ban spanking children? It’s a national policy! Now the children in Lingling Village and Yiling Village cannot be spanked or scolded, and their quality is extremely low.”
"Yes. This is a real bastard. Lingling Village and Yiling Village are far behind Jiuling Village, Baling Village, Qiling Village, Liuling Village in terms of filial piety..." B said, "You can't become talented without beating or scolding.
, not being beaten or scolded is not filial. The children in Lingling Village and Yiling Village will definitely be unfilial when they grow up."
"Inevitable." A said, "Let's just talk about it recently. An old man in Liuling Village passed away, and his six sons held a grand ceremony for him. The grandness of the ceremony shocked people everywhere. Everyone praised the old man's children.
Filial piety. I don’t think I’ve heard of Lingling Village and Yiling.
There is such a thing in the village, but most of them are buried silently, without even crying. But there are a few squeamish losers who are in bad mood after the funeral and suffer from that thing called "what kind of depression", tsk tsk tsk, pretentious
Damn, depressed shit. Too filial."
"I've heard about it too." B said, "The old man from Liuling Village is not easy. He has never enjoyed happiness in his life, but he knows how to follow the ancient system. He doesn't let his children go to school since they were young. He usually beats and scolds them just to let them grow up. What a pity.
, it’s a pity that such good people starve to death in their fifties. But fortunately there are six
He is a filial child, otherwise he would not have such a luxurious funeral. It seems that even the girls from Yihongyuan were invited to dance. Oh, he is so filial. As expected, the more people understand the ancient rituals, the higher the quality of the village. It was determined by the ancestors
All systems are the wisest. A foolish king who doesn’t know how to respect his ancestors will be doomed sooner or later."
"Yes, yes."
A and B chatted for a long time. It was getting late and they went home. Today they were very satisfied and the conversation was very pleasant. The two also concluded a truth, "The world is going backwards, and the ancestors are the wisest. Baling Village and Jiuling
