girl let me check

Chapter 248 Fang Tang’s genius idea

The night outside the window is as deep as the sea, and the lights in the house are as bright as beans. The orange-red candlelight shines on the girl's delicate face, and the pink and translucent red firelight shines on it.

Fang Tang sat at the table, folded his sleeves and wrote something seriously.

"Squeak!"

The heavy palace door was pushed open little by little, and the Ragdoll cat walked in wagging its tail.

The cat walked elegantly, so precisely that every step it took was precise, like a lion patrolling its territory.

...If you don’t look at its cute and naive face.

The ragdoll cat looked around, looking for Fang Tang.

Let me see what my dear grandma is doing.

"teacher!"

Fang Tang spotted the Ragdoll cat and turned his head in surprise, looking like he was about to stand up and salute.

After she had just stood up a little, she sat back down on the chair with a pop, her movements were exaggerated and a little funny.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My legs are numb after sitting for a long time."

Fang Tang's expression wrinkled pitifully in pain.

She bent over and hugged her calf, her hair hanging loosely on the ground. The princess's elegant demeanor completely disappeared, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Fang Weihan: "..."

The ragdoll cat walked up to her, stretched out its paws and patted her slender calves, and blood flowed on the flesh pads.

The gentle blood energy was transported into Fang Tang's body by Fang Weihan, soothing the insufficient blood supply to her muscles.

Fang Tang instantly felt that the unbearable numbness in his calf felt much better.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Fang Tang pursed his lips slightly, and the soft part in his heart was gently touched.

The girl smiled sweetly at the ragdoll cat.

"Ah."

Maomao used its hind legs and jumped up lightly, landing on Fang Tang's table.

"what are you writing?"

Fang Weihan put his head on the paper Fang Tang had just written on.

The handwriting has not yet dried, and the ink is fragrant.

If it's broken, it won't get on my fur, right?

Fang Weihan quickly raised his paw and took a look.

Fortunately it didn't get on it.

Maomao was relieved.

"Write something I've been thinking about for the past two days."

Fang Tang held his face with both hands and looked at the cat in front of him with a smile. His legs under the golden red skirt were swinging back and forth restlessly.

When getting along with his teacher, Fang Tang felt as if he had really let go of the burden of being an imperial princess, and no longer had to protect himself with a hard shell of hatred and indifference.

There is no barking or gossiping here. I am not Princess Taiping. I am a student, and the teacher is a teacher, that’s all!

Oh, by the way, the teacher is a cat, a very cute one!
Fang Tang thought happily, and his calves swayed more cheerfully.

She looked at the soft and fluffy fur of the big brown and white cat in front of her, and a trace of desire could not help but appear in her moist eyes.

I really want to...touch it.

"What kind of thing have you been thinking about these past two days?"

Fang Weihan was looking at his paws just now and didn't notice Fang Tang's astringent eyes.

Otherwise, he will definitely hug himself tightly.

"Is it about your self-destruction plan? Or is there a plan for governing the country?"

Fang Weihan licked his paw.

Alas, after turning into a cat, I just like to lick my paws, and it has almost become a habit of mine.

It makes me want to lick my fingers even when I'm not using the Divine Light Transformation.

That's not okay, I can't lick my own fingers.

Xiaojin is fine, she seems to be quite happy and enjoying herself...

The Ragdoll suddenly woke up and quickly tugged on his whiskers as a warning.

People who think about Sese all day have no future!

Next time I meet Xiao Jin, I won’t say anything else, and I’ll drag her to read the Tao Te Ching.

Fang Weihan thought secretly.

"What kind of self-destruction plan..."

Fang Tang pouted, a little unhappy.

"Teacher, from a planning perspective, my plan was perfect and there was no possibility of failure. So you can't say that I blew myself up!"

"My plan is the first step to revive the royal family! You can call it a great Zhou revitalization plan!"

Fang Weihan obviously didn't think her plan would succeed in the end.

Whether a plan is successful cannot be judged by looking at paper data calculations. Obviously, it must be tested in practice to reach a consensus.

And Fang Weihan happened to know what the final result of Fang Tang's plan would be.

Alas, isn't it just self-destruction...

But I can't tell her yet, so I'll just fool her.

So the cat tilted its head and meowed lazily.

"Meow."

"Ugh..."

Fang Tang watched the cat pretending to be dead again, and couldn't help but feel slightly angry in his heart.

The teacher is really too much!

He obviously pretended to be dead to make me angry, but with his cute cat appearance, he couldn't get angry inexplicably. What's going on?
How about...dazzling the teacher and masturbating for three days?

The little devil in Fang Tang's mind was ready to move.

"So, what you just wrote is about governing the country?"

Fang Weihan asked.

"That's right!"

When Fang Tang heard this, he briefly put aside his little revenge.

The girl happily pushed the paper in her hand in front of Fang Weihan, and her white fingertips touched a line of words in it.

Fang Weihan glanced.

That line of text was at the beginning of the paper and seemed to be the general title of what she had written.

There are four words in total: work with money.

I have to say that Fang Tang’s handwriting is quite beautiful.

The girl's handwriting is completely different from her appearance. The hooks and edges are sharp, like crystal jasper broken into a piece of paper, showing hardness and sharpness.

"Serving with money?"

Fang Weihan slowly read out the four words on the paper.

"That's right!"

Fang Tang nodded confidently.

"Teacher, although there are many reasons for the current decline of the royal family, I think the fundamental reason is... lack of money!"

The girl pulled out a scroll from the shelf next to her and slowly spread it out on the table.

"Um...teacher, raise your paw..."

Fang Tang diligently held the cat's paw and raised it carefully, very slowly.

It seemed that the girl was afraid of hurting her teacher because of her violent movements, but in fact she just wanted to touch the cat more.

Before Fang Weihan could react, he was put down by Fang Tang.

He stepped on a silk scroll. The scroll was exquisitely made and decorated with gold edges around it. It was obviously a collection of the royal family.

This is a big picture.Fang Weihan took a quick look and found that the scale of this thing was almost the same as the map of his previous life.There is also nothing wrong with the location and size of the various important geographical units.

This thing is a rare item nowadays. It was definitely made by a famous artist. If it were auctioned, it would definitely fetch an astronomical figure.

It starts from Baili Liaoze in the north, reaches Hanhai Yunjian in the east, reaches Congling of Tianshan Mountain in the west, and reaches Shiwanda Mountain in the south.

Square and smooth.It is as vast as an overturned dome, and as vast as waves of smoke.

This was the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

"The imperial court collects taxes from the world every year. This is also the rule set by the great ancestor to continue the previous dynasty. If we can collect taxes on time and in full, we will naturally not be short of money."

Fang Tang sighed.

"But obviously this tax has never been fully collected in the true sense."

The girl's finger pointed at the location of Changming City and drew a circle with it as the center.

"The taxes of Jingzhao and Yongzhou have always been handed over to the court honestly. After all, this is a place that our Fang family can fully control."

"But elsewhere..."

Fang Tang retracted his fingers and covered the empire territory on the map with his entire palm.

"I checked the statistics from the Shangshutai in recent years. Most of the wealthy Jianghuai counties can pay half of the quota, but this has already been calculated."

"The states in the Central Plains have been suffering from famine due to long river flooding. They have been exempted from taxes for three consecutive years. However, as far as I know, the long river flooding has not affected such a large area. It is said that Hanoi has been experiencing a surplus of corn for several years. , but its taxes have not been submitted for a year.”

"That's not the most annoying thing. At least they still have legitimate reasons to fool the court."

Fang Tang clenched his fist and punched a place on the map hard.

Maomao took a look.

Sure enough, we merged with Shangyuan County and became old friends.

"The taxes collected in this Hedong region have always been uneven, and the Uehara Wang family simply didn't bother to explain this matter."

"The reason given last year was 'Taihang Earthquake'! The reason given the year before last was 'Fen River water transport is blocked'. Are you lying to a three-year-old child?"

Fang Tang took a deep breath, the fullness in his chest rising and falling violently.

"There is also Sichuan and Sichuan Yizhou. They have the same moral character as them, but they work together in collusion. They are the same as each other!"

It was okay not to mention this, but as soon as she mentioned this, an uncontrollable anger surged in the girl's chest.

"We have 170 three counties in the twelve states of Zhou Dynasty, but only one-tenth of them can shoulder the tax obligation! It's a damn thing that the imperial court can speak for itself in the local area!"

The Ragdoll was silent for a moment.

What Fang Tang mentioned has actually not been solved even after 500 years, and it should have gotten worse.

The Wang family of Shangyuan had the strongest control over Yizhou and Bingzhou, and basically did not pay taxes.

Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou also worked hard to avoid it, finding various excuses to evade it.In short, it is one sentence:

If you want money or your life, hit me if you can.

What?If you say you won't hit me, then we can only live together like this. Don't dislike anyone.

That's the mentality of the three Heshuo families anyway.

There is no problem at all in calling them states within states of the Zhou Dynasty.

Jianghuai and Henan are not bad, they can receive more than [-]%. For example, Fang Tang has slightly increased at this time.

It may be due to changes in their relationship with the Uehara Wang family.

"The current power of the royal family is too weak. It is not easy to force them to pay all their taxes."

The young imperial princess obviously has a very clear understanding of the current political situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"We must create profits within the rules, secretly accumulate strength, and finally force the family to make concessions."

The ragdoll cat became a little curious.

Maybe Fang Tang can really give him a surprise.

"so?"

"So I came up with the idea of ​​using money to serve as a substitute."

Fang Tang confidently pushed out the piece of paper full of handwriting.

"You know, noble families like Dazhou don't pay much attention to tax obligations, but they work very hard for the labor project."

"After all, the things that laborers repair are related to people's livelihood, or they are some safety projects, and aristocratic families can also benefit from these things."

The girl was afraid that Fang Weihan was unclear, so she explained thoughtfully:
"The current labor service bill of the Great Zhou Dynasty is based on the rich and poor levels. Specifically, farmers are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the amount of real estate. The upper five households will receive two, the middle ten will receive three, and the lower five will receive One household goes to labor service.”

"Every one of those aristocratic families is obviously a high-class household. Logically speaking, they should bear the most labor. But these bastards have many ways to escape from labor."

Fang Tang gritted his silver teeth, his face as cold as frost and snow in the middle of winter.

"There were 800 million households in the first year of Kaiwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is now the ninth year of Minghua Dynasty, and 500 years have passed. Logically speaking, after 500 years of recuperation without war, the population must have increased by half, right? But according to the Shangshutai According to statistics last year, there were 850 million households in the eighth year of Minghua, which was only an increase of 50 households compared to the first year of Kaiwu! All fools know there is a problem here."

The Ragdoll sighed again.

He admired Fang Tang's keen intuition and grasped the essential issue at once.

He dared to say that the two kings of Qin and Jin at that time would definitely not notice this.

Those two idiots who only know how to fight for power and plot against others don't know how to govern a country.

"They're all hidden by the aristocratic family, right?"

Ragdoll cat said calmly.

"That's right! They hired a large number of tenants privately and hid their household registrations. This allowed them to form a large-scale private army and even have countermeasures when assigning labor."

"The imperial court assigned labor to them, and they assigned it to these tenants. Anyway, these black households are not recorded in the books, and no one knows about them even if they die. They just need to add up the number when counting people."

"It doesn't matter if you become a refugee. Anyway, it's the court that should have a headache, not them."

Fang Tang said bitterly.

"A bunch of bastards! They are all my people, the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they don't treat them as human beings at all!"

The girl calmed down.

"So, in order to balance their excessive enthusiasm for labor and their excessive resistance to taxes, I came up with this plan."

Fang Tang took out a copper coin and threw it high.

The girl caught the fallen copper coin and slapped it hard on the map.

"Let the upper class pay money in lieu of service."

Fang Tang said word for word.

Her clear and soft voice echoed loudly in the hall.

"What's the reason? What are you going to use to convince the family to listen to you?"

Ragdoll asked calmly.

"There are three reasons."

Fang Tang answered freely.

"Firstly, there are so many people who do not work hard, so there is no need for so many people. The small number of people makes it easier to supervise the work. Secondly, laborers need to travel long distances, and the problem of refugees is extremely prominent, which seriously disrupts social order. Thirdly, for example, Chen Jun Xie The remaining wealth of some families such as the Uehara family is immeasurable, but unlike the Uehara Wang family, they are more willing to provide money to replace people."

Fang Weihan nodded.

He had to admit that there was a great possibility that Fang Tang's method could be implemented.

There are internal drivers, there are external drivers, and it makes sense.It would be unrealistic for Wang Uehara to refuse despite all the opinions.

Yun Shu appeared behind Fang Tang and hugged her happily.

"Fang Weihan, Fang Weihan! How about the person I chose! Isn't he awesome?"

Fang Weihan: "..."

The ragdoll cat squatted and looked at Fang Tang with its blue eyes.

"What do you plan to do with the money you collect?"

Fang Weihan asked rhetorically.

"Enrich the country and strengthen the army so that the top and bottom are of one mind."

Fang Tang answered seriously.

"No, I have a better plan."

The Ragdoll cat shook its fluffy tail.

"We can give this part of the money to the people who are doing hard labor."

"what do you think?"
