At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 17 I had no choice but to sell my life

"I led my troops to Quanzhou, and the rebel general Pu Shougeng closed the city gate tightly, and gathered his servants and soldiers in the city to guard the city wall.

The ministers tried to persuade them to surrender to no avail, so they immediately launched their troops to attack with force. Their weapons were well-equipped and their soldiers dared to fight. They refused to surrender after three battles. The ministers then followed up with thunder soldiers and bombarded the city with thunder. The rebels fled in fear. Quanzhou Nick..."

Zhao Shi put down Jiang Wanzai's battle report and said with a smile: "Okay, Quanzhou is about to go, Fujian can be decided!"

Zhao Jifu said: "It's all thanks to your Majesty's magic that the Grand Master won the victory. Only four hundred thunderbolts were used in one battle, which is too much."

After Jiang Wanzai attacked and lost more than a thousand people, he used grenadiers to bombard the city wall, so the army entered the city.

Pu Shougeng led the troops to fight in the streets. After encountering obstacles, the Song army continued to use sky thunder to clear the way. This use could not be stopped. A total of 400 grenades were collected, and more than [-] were used, nearly half of the inventory.

Used too quickly.

Zhao Shi said: "Fortunately, Quanzhou and Fuzhou sent more than [-] kilograms of raw materials, which can be supplemented. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist the Yuan army's invasion of the country."

Zhao Jifu said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Quanzhou has been conquered, Guangzhou, Huizhou, and Chaozhou are stable. The restoration of Fujian and Guangdong is not far away. Chen Xianggong has arranged for Liuqiu to settle down. There is no need to worry about the retreat. Everything is getting better."

"Time waits for no one." Zhao Shi sighed, but he had nothing to do.

Qingtian and Taizhou are both occupied by large armies, and Yuan troops are everywhere outside Fujian and Guangdong.

As long as Kublai Khan looked at Zhao Shi for a moment, he would be surrounded by enemies from all directions.

However, the current strength is this strength, and it is impossible to conjure food and soldiers out of thin air. It can only develop step by step.

While chatting, the emperor and his ministers left the city. Zhao got out of the car and walked away accompanied by Zhang Wangbei.

A new batch of raw materials arrived, and the guards were busy again. Zhao took the opportunity to go out of the city to see how the people were doing.

Everyone agrees on this. Only by reading more can we understand the sentiments of the people, so as not to cultivate an emperor who "why not eat minced meat".

In the fields, farmers were watering the fields or weeding, and some were tending rice seedlings. Men and women were busy, and the older children followed behind to help. The younger children were placed under the shade of the trees at the head of the fields, letting them crawl around.

When you are tired from work, you stand up and beat your back, and continue working. When you are thirsty, you just take a few sips by the ditch.

Seeing this, Zhao Shi frowned and said: "All diseases come from the mouth. The water in this ditch looks clear, but it is actually very sick. The people should be taught to drink boiled water."

Zhao Jifu and Zhang Wangbei looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but did not speak to each other.

Zhao Shi saw it and asked, "Is what I said wrong?"

"Good instructor... As everyone knows, it's not that people don't know the benefits of drinking boiled water, they just can't afford it." Zhao Jifu replied.

I don't study well, don't lie to me, Zhao obviously doesn't believe it.

If you say you don't have enough to eat, it's because there's not enough food, and boiling water is free.

"Seven things to do when opening the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, firewood is the first one, why? Without firewood, you can only do nothing if you have empty grain and rice."

It takes a lot of time to collect firewood. If you want to boil a pot of water, it will take less than half an hour.

In ordinary households, men farm and women weave, so how can there be a waste of time?
Even in the city, a bundle of firewood costs [-] to [-] renminbi, and it is only used for two days. Except for the wealthy and luxurious households, ordinary people can only collect firewood by themselves. Going far away takes a lot of time. "

To sum up, the general rule is that fuel is hard to come by and it is basically impossible for people to boil water freely.

Realizing that he still made the mistake of "why not eat minced meat", Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he was glad that he was in the emperor's house. Although the country was in trouble, he didn't have to worry about food.

Zhang Wangbei suddenly said: "It is said that in Kaifeng, every household used coal to make fires, and the firepower was continuous day and night. You could boil water for drinking, and it was very happy."

What can Zhao say?I can only lament that productivity is lagging behind and good ideas are just fantasy.

Think about future generations, who will worry about boiling water?The worst thing to do is drink Happy Fat House water. I'm really anxious. It's not that I can't drink tap water.With this feeling of "why not eat minced meat", a group of people walked outside a village.

I saw hundreds of people gathered around a big tree, and I didn't know what they were watching.

Realizing that Zhao was interested, the Imperial Guard immediately went to clear a path.

The villagers were quite dissatisfied at first, but when they saw that Zhao was accompanied by guards and entourage, and knew whose yamen this was, they suppressed their anger.

Walking in, I saw a scribe holding a stone tablet and saying: "Folks, this is a royal letter written by an official. The specific content has been recorded, but it is a major event for future generations.

Those who farm only pay land taxes, without transfers or changes, and other miscellaneous taxes such as Dingqian, miscellaneous changes, Hebian, Hebuying, corvee and other miscellaneous taxes are abolished.Those who are tenants of official land are entitled to 17% of the harvest, with no taxes, while those who join the army are halved, their households are not destroyed, and their tenancy agreement is not broken.For those who cultivate their own land, the tax is 27% for those with less than [-] acres, and the tax for more than [-] acres is increased by [-]%. For those who join the army, the tax is reduced by [-]%.When leasing other people's land, the tenancy rent shall not exceed [-]%, and the land tax shall be borne by the landowner.Set up a stone monument as a proof, and the world will witness it. If you violate it, humans and gods will abandon it!The [-]th emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shili, was on February [-]th of the first year of the country. "

"Okay~ The official is benevolent."

"Long live the official family~"

"Long live, long live, long live~"

"Don't get too proud too early!" The clerk suppressed the cheers of the people and continued: "Everyone knows what is going on now. The Yuan Dynasties are watching with eager eyes. Qingtian and Taizhou have already engaged in battle. Most of the country has been lost. Wenzhou will encounter war sooner or later. Don't even think about it. To be able to live in peace.

Nowadays, the benevolence and righteousness of the officials only charge [-]% of the tenant rent and eliminate all miscellaneous taxes and corvees. This is an unprecedented benevolence and righteousness.

Good times are just around the corner, but we can't just wait and enjoy the blessings. When the Yuan captives come, can we still erect the stone monument of the Song emperor?It will inevitably be the same scene as before.

Folks, in order to share the family's fields and to keep future generations from starving, we must keep the official family stable.

If you are young, pick up a knife and kill the bandit. Even if you die, it is better than suffering half-dead. If you defeat the bandit, the family can live peacefully. "

"Officials, don't be verbose. Just tell me where you can join the army?" a man shouted.

"There are recruiting offices in all the prefectures and counties. If you go there, you will be given food and a stone to settle down. If you have made meritorious service and the officials are benevolent and righteous, they will not treat you badly..."

"It's true, I'll give you one stone of food!" As he yelled, a man walked up to him carrying a pole.

Someone asked: "Ji Laosan, why did you join the army?"

"I have ten acres of land from the official family, so I have to sell my life!" Ji Laosan replied: "The official family is benevolent and righteous, and the officials are also happy. As long as they join the army, they must first pick up the food and then go to assemble. I can't No appointment."

"Third brother Zheshe, take a younger brother with you."

"You are the only one who inherits the incense in your family, why are you joining in the fun?" Ji Laosan scolded, and then said: "Yu Ding, go, keep your parents and brothers happy, and gain a future!
There is a sign posted at home, waiting for the rent and tax collectors to be exempted and exempted according to the agreement. The official who recruited soldiers said that if you don't say anything, you will use a knife and a gun to fuck your mother! "

"The officials are arrogant, go, join the army, if you don't go, you are not a good man."

"Go together, go together!" More than a dozen young people shouted and left the village together.

There are also parents who are reluctant and drag and refuse to let go.

"Others go and only pay [-]% of the rent, but my family pays [-]%. How can you look at others?"

As soon as these words came out, my parents couldn't stop them, so they had to let go with reluctance.

Seeing this, Zhao quietly withdrew from the crowd.

Zhao Jifu said with emotion: "The people's support can be used. If our ancestors were like this, why would we be here today?"

What can Zhao say?It is said that Zhao Da and Zhao Er did not regard the common people as human beings. How should this be?

In the [-]th century, land taxes were waived and farmers were given subsidies. Today, the [-]% to [-]% income can make the people work hard. It can only be said that the people are still too easily satisfied.

　Thanks to the book friend "Li Qian is happy" for the reward, I wish you a happy heart forever, and everyone is happy
