Chapter 487 One good and one evil, one black and one white(2/2)

"I can understand this old man alone. The three sons took their daughter-in-law to work in Jinling and earn more money!"

When Han Qing heard this, he immediately knew why the old man was mysterious, because according to the Ming Dynasty, his family had to separate and separate households in this situation.

The old man must have bribed Li Zheng or got a bug in repairing the yellow book, so he logged all three sons under his account.

The old man finished speaking proudly, and his face immediately showed disappointment.

"But this matter will only take advantage of a few years. When the yellow book is rebuilt in two years, our sons will have to be separate households. The land will have to be divided again at that time. It depends on how to get it, so we can avoid paying the food..."

Han Qing chatted with the old man for a while and left in disappointment when he learned that most of the young people in the village went to work in the city, and most of the people left were the elderly and children.

However, as soon as he walked to the village, he was stopped by a woman from a high-gate courtyard.

"Hey, do you have any good silk thread?"

Han Qing didn't want to pay attention to this woman at first, but he saw two people wearing official clothes at the entrance of the village. He could only turn around and walk back to deal with the woman who had a thick and fat finger.

"What kind of silk thread does this elder sister want?"

The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and said with disdainful expression.

"What color do you have?"

"We have all kinds of colors here, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, and even the gold and silver threads used by wealthy people in the capital!"

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she looked at Han Qing in surprise, thinking that this peddler had a very big tone, and she actually had golden silk and silver thread?

"Really or not?"

"Let's tell you, we have seen the world, don't fool us with copper wire!"

Han Qing didn't talk nonsense to him, and flipped through the bonnet, and took out a golden thread and handed it over. The middle-aged woman looked at it and saw that it was indeed a golden light, like a golden thread drawn from enough gold, and her face became a little more solemn.

"It looks good, so let's just give us a piece..."

"Okay!"

Han Qing bent down again and flipped the inspection in the cargo , but when he was flipping the inspection , he kept staring at the two people wearing official clothes at the entrance of the village .

When he saw two officials walking straight towards him, his heart suddenly rose up, and his hand reached into the innermost part of the cargo load, holding the hilt tightly, ready to slap the two of them at any time.

However, just when Han Qing thought there would be a fierce battle, he saw the two officials passing by and walking towards the middle-aged woman.

"Wang Saihua, is your land sold or not? Let me give you a good word."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she pulled her hair and sat on the ground and cried.

"Friends come out to evaluate the matter, the government forces to buy and sell, wuwu..."

Seeing this, the two officials quickly took a few steps back and walked two feet away from Wang Saihua.

"Wang Saihua, put away your tantrums and rolling around!"

"We just came to pass on the order of the county magistrate to you."

"If you sell land now, the county will collect according to the market price. It will be better than if you can't find a tenant. You have to pay the imperial grain for nothing every year, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Saihua "snared" at the two officials.

"What does it mean to charge according to market price?"

"The market price of 8 taels of silver per acre will be settled in ten years, and there is no interest at all. Do you think we are a fool?"

"My family has three generations saved money and saved these hundreds of acres of land. They can't be defeated by me!"

Seeing that Wang Saihua was so obsessed, the two officials could only leave a few harsh words.

In fact, the order given by the county magistrate is to buy and sell freely, all based on voluntary action.

If the county magistrate had not been forced by him, they would not even want to come from the countryside, and would just send a second-hand man to pass the message.

"Okay, okay!"

"Since you don't want to sell it, keep it yourself. Anyway, the county master said that you can't lose a penny of tax. If you can't pay the tax, the county will collect your land and you won't give it a penny at that time!"

When Wang Saihua heard this, she cried again, and finally cried with her ultrasound crying.

After the official left, Han Qing stepped forward curiously to ask.

"Sister, what are you talking to the two officials just now? Why can't I understand?"

Wang Saihua said hatefully when she heard this.

"What else can it be? Isn't it just that the treacherous ministers in the court came up with a new policy, and taxes are imposed according to the amount of land and the amount of land..."

"I'm lucky that my son is still a juren. In my early years, I just had to pay some food and do not have all the labor service."

"Now, I have made random changes. My family has to pay hundreds of more pounds of grain for no reason a year. How can I live this life? Woo woo woo woo woo woo..."

Han knew about this early in the morning, and he was curious about another thing.

"Sister, I'm asking about selling land. I just heard from the official's opinion. The government wants to buy your land?"

Wang Saihua wiped her tears and said with disdain on her face.

"That's the case!"

"It is said that it was a trick made by the crown prince who made a new trick. We had to charge our land at the market price, but now we don't give it money. We give it a little every year, and we can get it in ten years..."

Han Qing lowered his head and calculated when he heard this, and felt that this business was not a loss.

In other words, it is already considered kind to the court that it is not clear that it is merciful. Now she is not selling the land for money to buy it?

"Sister, is this fair in the government?"

Wang Saihua immediately cursed when she heard this.

"Fair, fart!"

"In the past, I could sell one tael of silver for a year if I harvested acre of land, but it would be ten taels in ten years!"

"The government erased me two taels of silver for no reason. Is this also fair?"

"Besides, when did you see the government buying things and paying for money?"

"Even if this county magistrate gives it to you this year, can you guarantee that the county magistrate will return it to you in the future?"

"When the government will not pay money, you dare to go to the yamen to complain!"

After saying this, Wang Saihua got up from the ground hatefully, patted the dust on her butt and returned to her yard without looking back.

"Sister, your line..."

"No!"

When Han Qing heard this, he could only smile bitterly and put the thread back into the cargo load, and then carried the cargo load to the next village.

However, after walking through several villages, Han Qing felt that there was no need to leave.

Because the villages near Yingtian Mansion are similar, young people are either fooled by the government to open up land or are recruited by recruits and go to work in the workshops in the city.

Han Qing walked out of the last village, looked at the green rice fields at the entrance of the village, and felt endless sympathy for the landlords who held the fields desperately and did not let go.

According to the method of the crown prince, it will take a few years to find the tenants in the village. Who will rent the land from these landlords to?

Could it be that the landlord led his wife and concubine to farm?

The more Han Qing thought about it, the more interesting it became, and at the same time he also gained a new understanding of Zhu Yunxi's policies.

He finally understood why the Emperor's Grandson dared to take the most ruthless act in the world to reform the tax system. It turned out that the Emperor's Grandson and Zhu Butcher were both good and evil, and black and white.

One is desperate to collect taxes, the other is desperate to poach people.

If the local owner cannot find the tenant, the landlord's land will naturally be worthless, and the court can collect it at an extremely low price!

There is no need to spend money. As long as the landlord's family cannot pay the tax, the court can confiscate it legitimately!

Han Qing thought about this and was full of concern about his future rebellion.

Give the crown prince a few more years, and the Ming Dynasty's country is as stable as steel casting!
