God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 738 A Businessman Understands a Businessman
[-]

In addition to the developed commerce in the north, there is also the breeding industry. For example, many people in places close to the south with a suitable climate raise pigs, sheep, donkeys, and fish and shrimp.

In addition to agriculture and small shops, the South has no other industries. The most terrible thing is that the severe drought in the past half a year has caused irreparable losses to the people in the South.

"Grandpa, didn't you say that the Duwa Kingdom has been in chaos for years, why doesn't the business in the north of the Duwa Kingdom seem to be affected?" Zuo Jianming asked his confusion.

"My wife's elder brother has quelled the war after he came to power. I heard that these businesses in the Northland have only prospered in the past two years." Xiang Zirun learned about these things from Ge Yan.

The minds of businessmen are always relatively flexible, and they can open up countless paths if given a chance, but those common people dare not trust Chaoyan easily for various reasons, which is why today's embarrassing situation is caused .

Just as Su Kefang was about to say something, Qin Yixing and Gao Junjie listened with strained ears, pursed their lips, and did not say anything.

The group stopped and went, and it was already winter in the south when they returned to Mudcastle City.

"I used to hate winter the most, but now I think winter in Mudcastle City is as lovely as spring!" Barry exclaimed happily as soon as he entered the gate of Mudcastle City.

On "Foy Island," he suspected he would freeze to death.

It's okay...it's okay...Finally back to the lovely and amiable Mudcastle City.

Nuoer, Dani and others were very happy to see a group of people coming back, and prepared a table of wine and food for them.

"I'm really worried that you won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year." Dai Ni smiled.

Su Kefang was taken aback: "Is Chinese New Year coming?"

There is no such thing as a calendar here. In Anjin Country, it was okay, even if he couldn't remember the date, someone would remind him, but when he arrived in Duwa Country, Su Kefang couldn't tell what day it was.

"The Chinese New Year will be in a few days. This year, when we are reunited as brothers and sisters, we must have something delicious to eat!" Ge Yan said happily.

Ge Yan knew that his senior brother and younger sister had originally planned to return to Anjin State in early spring, and they had little time left in Duwa State.

"That's right, the three of you brothers and sisters don't know when you will see each other next time, so you have to celebrate well." Diane also said.

"Okay!" Su Kefang didn't refuse. There was only their family here, so Su Ke conveniently talked about the trip to the Northland.

After talking about what he had seen and heard all the way to the Northland, Su Kefang asked suspiciously: "Brother, sister, if the problem of the huge disparity between the rich and the poor between the North and the South is not resolved, why don't the people migrate to the Northland?"

When it comes to this matter, Ge Yan is also very helpless: "It's not that the people in the south don't want to migrate to the north, but because the consumption in the north is high, and the residents in the north are xenophobic, plus the weather, it's a dead end for the people in the south to go there. "

"There is such a thing?" Su Kefang was a little hard to understand, but when these words came from Ge Yan's mouth, she did not doubt the authenticity of them.

"Fang Er, the specific system for re-measurement of the land has been formulated. The ministers of the court and the central government unanimously approved this system. The court will promulgate this system in the next year and implement it. Last month, several ministers were sent to the people to appease the people. According to reports, The common people were very excited when they heard about the system of the imperial court, and very few people were dissatisfied."

Those who are dissatisfied are not dissatisfied with the re-measurement of the land, but dissatisfied with the court's delay in collecting grain taxes.

"Deferred tax collection?" Su Kefang raised his eyes and asked in confusion, "Isn't it exempt from taxation for two to three years?"

"It's not tax exemption, but a postponement of tax collection." Nuo Er said: "I discussed with the minister, and I feel that if the national tax is exempted, the court may not be able to support it without taxation, but if only the southern tax is exempt, I am afraid that the residents of the North will be dissatisfied. It caused confusion, so in the end it was decided to only defer the collection of grain tax for three years, and if any residents in the northern lands are willing to move to the south within three months, the imperial court will give them the same land and defer the collection of grain tax for three years."

This order was finalized by Nuoer and several confidants after careful consideration before discussing with the ministers. Of course, many ministers in the DPRK raised objections, but Nuoer rejected them one by one, unless they had a better way to increase the revenue of the treasury. , and allow the people to settle down, otherwise this order must be implemented.

Noel's ordinance only refers to food tax, not taxation, which is to avoid extra complications.

Xiang Zirun took a meaningful look at his wife, and said, "It is indeed more reasonable to delay the collection of grain tax than to exempt it. This will not only stabilize the situation in the north, but also give the people in the south a buffer period. Adding a reward method, maybe the people in the south will be more at ease."

"What kind of reward?" Nuo Er and Ge Yan asked in unison.

"That is, based on the original output of each type of farming, if the output of each mu of land increases by a certain percentage, rewards in kind or reduction or exemption of grain taxes will be given."

After hearing Xiang Zirun's proposal, Nuoer and Ge Yan's eyes lit up, and Nuoer said excitedly: "Zirun, you reminded me that the common people really lack motivation!"

Several people discussed Nuoer's new policy for a while, and Ge Yan suddenly remembered something, and said, "Yes, Fang'er, Ruth has called you a few times recently and asked her what's the matter, but she refused to tell."

Su Kefang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll take a look at it some time."

After a pause, Su Kefang asked again: "Sister, she doesn't sell poison outside anymore, does she?"

"No, I sold the antidote twice."

Some of the poisonous companies sold by Ruth did not come to find the antidote. Su Kefang promised her to sell those antidote before fulfilling her promise, so Ge ​​Yan did not stop her.

Su Kefang smiled: "There are only a few times left, Ruth must have killed people very hard, right?"

Ge Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "You still know Lu Si."

Su Kefang blinked and smiled: "A businessman understands a businessman."

These words made Xiang Zirun involuntarily think of the glorious achievements of his daughter-in-law killing Lu Si and killing Qin Yixing and Gao Junjie in the North, and a smile could not help but tinge his brows.

Speaking of business, Su Kefang suddenly remembered seeing a few yellow-haired and blue-eyed businessmen in the Northland, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, sister, is there a race of yellow-haired and blue-eyed people in Duwa?"

"No." Nuoer paused, and said with a smile: "Fang'er, you mean to say that the North has seen people who look different from the people of the Duwa Kingdom?"

"Brother know?"

Nuoer nodded with a smile: "Those people with yellow hair and blue eyes are now considered as citizens of our country of Duva."

It turns out that there was a big war between Dewar Kingdom and its neighboring country more than 20 years ago. In order to escape the war, the people of the two countries fled everywhere.

At the beginning, the people of the Dua Kingdom were very repulsive to these aliens, and even wanted to kill them all. However, the Dua Kingdom was not a stable country, and there were constant wars. During such wars, the people of the Dua Kingdom slowly accepted these aliens. .
