The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 92 Urgent
Generally speaking, in villages that are slightly larger, with hundreds of households and a population of more than [-], there are strangers in each village. In counties where there are more people, unfamiliar faces are naturally not uncommon.

Therefore, the unfamiliar faces of Wang Wu and others were not due to the vigilance of the people around them.

"Brother, I come from Langshan County next door. I heard that the taxes here are lower, so I wanted to come over and have a look. I wonder how the taxes here are calculated?"

Wang Wu found an older, middle-aged man with clean and decent clothes and asked.

"Business? Then you should ask about business tax, right?"

The middle-aged man looked Wang Wu and the others up and down, and found that the other party's eyes were not as cautious and careful as those of ordinary civilians. Although the material on his clothes was not of good quality, it was not bad either. It was in line with what the other party said of a small businessman and hawker.

"Well, that's right, but we also want to ask about land tax and poll tax,"

When he just said this, Wang Wu noticed the suspicion in the other party's eyes, so he quickly explained that it was mainly because we were considering living here for a long time, so we asked more clearly. "

"I see,"

The middle-aged man looked enlightened and his attitude became much more enthusiastic, "Then you have come to the right place."

"Our Dawei business tax is based on one hundred and seven, but in order to maintain consumption, each county will increase it. The more prosperous the commercial tax is, the heavier it will be. Our Tianyang County's previous commercial tax was one hundred and seven, but it was reduced last year. One percent, only one hundred and ninety."

"One hundred and ninety? Not bad."

Wang Wu was very satisfied after confirming that the subordinate counties of Tianyang County had indeed implemented the new county law that reduced commercial taxes and had not deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates.

"In addition to commercial tax, land tax has also dropped by half, from the original [-]% to [-]%."

Wang Wu listened and nodded.

For now, Yangshan County is still abiding by the new county law very honestly.

But the more he asked, the more doubts he had in his mind.

Since Yangshan County has indeed reduced taxes, then according to common sense, if the 610 acres of fields in Yangshan County produce 630 kilograms per mu, the tax revenue will be [-]%. Excluding transportation losses, the tax should be [-] million to [-] kilograms. Thousands of catties of grain.

But the fact is that last year, Yangshan County paid 710 million kilograms of grain.

If transportation losses are included, Yangshan County collected at least 720 million kilograms of grain!

It is clear that the tax rate has been reduced, but the overall tax revenue has increased. This is unreasonable in any way.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Wu decided to be more direct. Even if the other party concealed it, he could always get the result by asking a few more people later.

"Brother, I would like to ask, is the tax collected here based on the standard yield of two hundred catties per mu?"

"no,"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "We charge taxes based on the yield of 220 kilograms per mu."

"Why is this?"

Wang Wu's heart trembled, and he secretly asked, "Is it true that every house in your county has fertile farmland?"

"That's not true,"

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "But I have to mention another new law in Yangshan County."

"Oh? What is it?"

Seeing that the other party did not show a cautious expression, but smiled, Wang Wu felt that this matter was not as complicated as he imagined, and there was nothing fishy about it.

"You should know that originally there was no wages for corvee service, and you even had to bring your own food. But starting from last year, not only food and accommodation are included, but wages are also provided."

"With money, everyone can have enough to eat, their health is better, and they can work faster. The work that originally took three months of corvee service now only takes two months." "Same as in previous years. In comparison, everyone is now more energetic, weeding, fertilizing, and plowing the fields more carefully than before, and spending more time on the fields."

"In this case, how can the yield per mu remain the same as in previous years?"

"Besides, if the fields are planted better, the yield per acre will be higher, and the more food will be left after paying taxes. Who doesn't want to keep more food?"

When he said these words, the smile on the middle-aged man's face never stopped.

Wang Wu also understood that what the other party said must be true, and it was definitely not a perfunctory statement that had been made to the government in advance.

However, out of caution, he still asked many more people, but the results he obtained were quite similar.

"This can really affect the whole body,"

After visiting several counties, Wang Wu couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that a loss-making business like lowering taxes and getting wages for corvee service would actually have such benefits."

In the past, it would have been impossible for him to think that lowering taxes would lead to an increase in the total tax amount.

"Sure enough, after entering the Grand Master, the breakthrough progress has been much slower."

In the Wang Family Courtyard, Wang Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, sighed.

Although the Grandmaster absorbs field energy and refines various powerful medicines faster, it is still not enough compared to the Grandmaster's terrifying storage capacity.

After filling the lower Dantian with liquid Qi, you can enter the middle stage of mastering.

At this time, you will face a small bottleneck - you need to put aside the promotion of the innate peak to the master.

In other words, it is necessary to condense the gas into liquid again in the middle Dantian.

It's just that compared to the innate peak, the grandmaster not only absorbs energy faster, but also has more stable Dantian and meridians. Therefore, for the innate peak, the chance of being stuck in a bottleneck for a lifetime is just a small threshold for the grandmaster.

As long as you are young enough and your energy and blood have not decayed, it is almost a 100% breakthrough.

After reaching the peak of the mid-stage master, if you want to advance to the late-stage master, you need to further refine your consciousness.

That is to strengthen one's own spiritual power.

After your mental power reaches a certain standard, you can enter the late master stage.

At this time, it is necessary to continue to polish the body as in the late stage of Xiantian, so that the body can reach its peak level, so as to condense the liquid into elixir and promote the inner elixir.

In the early stages of being a master, all you have to do is gather energy, gather energy, and gather energy again.

But after a full year of gathering Qi, Wang Feng felt that his progress had only passed a quarter.

According to the current progress, it will take another three to four years to advance to the middle stage of Grand Master.

He was about eighteen or nineteen at the time.

If it was before the discovery of magic cultivation, let alone the middle stage of Grandmaster before the age of 20, he would not be in a hurry to reach Grandmaster at the age of 30.

But the problem is, now there is a demon cultivator in the imperial city.

Moreover, this demonic cultivator not only did not hide, but acted with a high profile, using the imperial city as its foundation, spreading to the surrounding areas, and absorbing the nutrients of the entire Wei Dynasty.

To be honest, despite his extraordinary talent in physical martial arts, Wang Feng was still not sure that his growth rate could be faster than that of the demon cultivator.

Although it doesn't matter if he dies and can continue to be reincarnated, what will Yun Niang and Uncle An do?
His parents in his previous life have not yet been found.
　The subsequent plot will probably continue to be centered on the protagonist, so please feel free to watch it.
