"I have written a letter to you, and my long-distance skills are over. However, it is the responsibility of this county to guard the territory and protect the territory. In order to ensure the stability of the Yuan Dynasty, we recruit young people to serve in the army, with a monthly salary of three dan.

The county has no clothes to cover the body and no food to eat. The county government will gather at noon tomorrow to build water conservancy projects and open up fertile farmland with a monthly salary of two stones!

Merchants in this county should work together to deal with natural disasters and pay their annual taxes within three days! Those who fail to pay their taxes within three days will be responsible for the consequences!"

——————

There was a mixture of joy and sorrow when this notice came out. It is definitely great news for the common people. There is less work in winter. Ordinary people are all working short-term for their employers in winter, and their monthly money is very low. Now, isn’t this a natural disaster?

It's good to be big. Two stones for a month is five taels of silver, which is enough to cover the whole family's expenses for two months.

For merchants, this is troublesome. In the past few years, Shangyuan County has been almost outside the control of the imperial court. No one has paid taxes. Now the county magistrate is an enemy of almost all merchants when it comes to collecting taxes!

In fact, everyone understands that as long as this place is under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, paying taxes is inevitable, but for merchants who have not paid taxes for a long time, Leng Buding can't get rid of this problem!

Early the next morning, the gate of the county government office was surrounded by a crowd of people on three floors inside and three outside. Du Yi felt quite uncomfortable when he looked at the people in front of him. Most of these people were wearing thin clothes and there were many begging for food.

Huazi made Du Yi feel a little heavy.

Du Yi selected ten people from the crowd, and then led by the ten people, he divided the crowd surrounding the Yamen into ten long queues. Everyone received tools according to Du Yi's request!

Four groups were assigned to repair water conservancy. Although it was a bit cold at the beginning of winter, it was better for everyone to be busy than to be idle. Once refugees gathered here in the future, it would greatly affect the security of this place!

Five groups of people were assigned to clear wood, make firewood, reclaim barren hills and build houses. The remaining group of 100 people were carefully selected by Du Yi and each one was physically strong. These people were assigned to Xue Wanqi's camp, and Xue Wanqi was responsible for training!

Du Yi understood that as long as spring begins, water conservancy projects are repaired, barren hills are reclaimed, and new houses are built, the people will be much more settled.

At this time, Master Wang Pu came over and whispered in Du Yi's ear for a while. Du Yi rolled his eyes and sneered disdainfully at the corner of his mouth!

Three days later, Du Yi selected four tax collectors from the county government officials who were responsible for collecting taxes, and asked these tax collectors to do what he wanted!

In less than two days, Du Yi completely isolated the merchants and the three major families. Du Yi only used a very simple method!

‘Land’, there are two reasons why Du Yi reclaimed the barren hills. One is to distribute it to refugees, and the second is to use part of it to reward merchants!

Merchants are different from landlords. The Zhou Dynasty had great restrictions on merchants. You can have money, but you cannot have everything. For example, landlords cannot do business, otherwise the land will be confiscated!

Merchants are not allowed to own land, let alone buy or sell land. As long as you spend money to buy land, either the land will be confiscated or the property will be seized!

Du Yi was still confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that there were hundreds of thousands of landowners in Zhou Dynasty, but there were no real big landowners, and the benefits were distributed evenly!

Although the landlord has a noble status, he only has so much land. Landlords generally do not sell land to other landlords. Moreover, in the Zhou Dynasty with a large population, there are too many tenants. If your rent is high, your land will not be awarded, so it is usually turned over.

The maximum amount of grain is 40%, and there will be no landowners with thousands of acres. In this way, the money in a year is limited, and there is not much money left for daily expenses. Moreover, the Zhou Dynasty also limited the land to one thousand acres.

Even if you want to buy land, you can’t!

Merchants manage money, are responsible for the circulation of goods, and develop the economy, but merchants cannot own land. If there is more land, there will be more tenants. If the merchants have more land, there will be more tenants, which will damage the landlord class.

interests, and if someone instigates rebellion, the foundation of the royal family will be unstable.

Of course, some people have said that there will be many clerks when opening a store, but don't forget that businessmen pursue profit, and profit-seeking is the essence of businessmen. In other words, having too many clerks will only increase store expenses, which is against the interests of merchants.

Therefore, once a large number of merchants are discovered, they will come into the eyes of the court. As long as a secret investigation is carried out, the truth will soon be revealed. Even if someone conspires to rebel, it will not be a problem at all. This is the foundation for the Zhou Dynasty to be able to stand for hundreds of years. Of course,

If the emperor is a fool and a fool, the dynasty should be changed because any policy is useless. Again, as long as there is public support, the Zhou family will still rule the Zhou family!

Du Yi's reward of land to those merchants who pay taxes actually involves some risks, but Du Yi doesn't care about these at all. Even if one day the court takes away his official title, so what, he will still be himself!

Du Yi was busy for two days before he felt at ease. The room was very quiet. Xiao Min was practicing. Du Yi smiled bitterly and took off the glove on his left hand. A white bone hand appeared in front of him!

Du Yi has seen this bone hand many times. With the busyness of these two days, the irritability of losing his left hand has dissipated a lot. Until now, he only feels a little uncomfortable!

Du Yi picked up the Iron Deed of Thunder God with a left hand, and kept groping on the iron deed with his finger bones. This was the first time that Du Yi carefully observed the Iron Deed of Thunder God.

Du Yi has only seen iron deeds twice, but this thing is very famous in the eyes of ordinary people and is called iron deeds. Wangsun Guizhou's family may have such a thing.

For example, if the royal family has a very large reward, it will be used as a certificate, or the minister has made great achievements and is rewarded with this thing. It can be said that these kinds of things are all awarded by the emperor. Only those big families that have been passed down for a long time or have made unparalleled achievements.

Only the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty had this thing. The most famous one today is the Meng family's death-prevention card. An iron coupon with an alchemy book can prevent death for ten generations. It was awarded to the Meng family by the First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The iron deed in Du Yi's hand was different from those iron deeds. It was stained with rust and was light in texture. Its shape could be changed with hands. And the most important thing was that it could not be stored in the Qiankun bag.

Du Yi attached his mind power to the iron contract, but unfortunately he didn't notice the slightest message like mud flowing into the sea!

Du Yi was unwilling to give in. He thought about his Dragon Marked Xiao and what would happen if the true source was input into it, but then he hesitated. After all, it was too dangerous to refine the Dragon Marked Xiao at that time. After much deliberation, Du Yi still gave up. Xiao Ming and Thunder God

An iron bond is more precious than a life. If a life is gone, no matter how good the treasure is, no matter how good the magical power is, you will not have the life to enjoy it.

However, Du Yi thought of his seven-inch funeral door nail and wondered what the effect of dripping blood would be, and as long as he didn't touch it, it shouldn't suck blood.

He forced out a drop of bright red blood and dropped it on the iron contract. The moment the blood appeared, the purple halo on the Thunder God Iron Contract flashed slightly. Du Yi thought he was dazzled, but when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked!

The drop of blood that had just been forced out of the body disappeared, and a purple-red thumb mark appeared on the lower corner of the Thunder God's Iron Contract. After careful comparison, it turned out to be exactly the same as my own thumb pattern!

Just when Du Yi was in disagreement, the purple light suddenly prevailed, and the room was so blinded by the purple light that he couldn't open his eyes. Du Yi was shocked and quickly blocked the purple light with his body, for fear of affecting Xiao Min's practice!

Surrounded by purple light, the entire Thunder God Iron Contract slowly changed its shape.

The rust slowly fell off, leaving behind a purple-red inner core, which is as thin as a cicada's wing and actually feels slightly numb when touched!

As the rust completely fell off, the purple light also slowly dissipated. When Du Yi saw it clearly, he was shocked and speechless, his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and his mouth was opened wide!

It’s no wonder that Du Yi behaves like this. The thing is really too shocking. The Thunder God’s Iron Deed, which was originally thick in the palm of your hand, has become as thick as a piece of paper. The words [Thunder God Picture] are written on the front, and the edges of the square [Thunder God Picture] are engraved with thunder and lightning.

On the pattern, the mountains are engraved with countless purple thunders flashing in the sky, and the thunders explode among each other!

Du Yi was holding the picture of the God of Thunder, feeling a little dizzy. He really couldn't figure out what the use of the picture of the God of Thunder was.

Slowly turning over the picture of the God of Thunder, there was writing on the back of the picture of the God of Thunder. There were three big characters written on it, "The Jue of Controlling Thunder", and then densely packed small characters seemed to appear in Du Yi's mind. Although he didn't recognize these words, he could clearly understand them.
