The news about corvee service was spread in a straightforward way, which made people believe that even the proper terms such as the "Vietse Order" appeared. The four decrees also became five decrees. Before, Zhang Zhun issued four decrees. If there was one "Vietse Order", it would naturally be five decrees. However, everyone accepted the four decrees in the previous decrees and flocked to them. However, this fifth decree is really unpopular!

Fortunately, at this time, another news came, that was, Zhang Zhun had not yet made up his mind to issue the "Correser Order". So, the depressed people seemed to have hugged the straw that saved their lives and ignited a trace of hope. Some well-informed people whispered that Zhang Zhun did not agree with asking the people to perform correser service. Everyone knew that correser service was not a good thing. The new thousand households who loved the people as much as their sons would not do such a thing that harmed the villagers. However, he had no choice!

The city walls must be repaired, right? The roads must be paved, right? Water conservancy facilities must be repaired, right? The sewers and other messy places must be cleaned, right? To work, people must be there, and food must be included... But there are no two things in Zhang Zhun's hands! No one comes to work on his own initiative, so he can only be levied. After all, Zhang Zhun is not a god, no one does not have three heads and six arms, right?

"If everyone is willing to pay some taxes, they can be exempted from corvee."

"If I have food on my hands, I can ask someone to do it, so I don't have to pay it."

"But, what I promised at the beginning would never pay food. I can't go back on my word!"

Zhang Zhun muttered a few words inadvertently.

As a result, these words were accidentally leaked outside.

The military households who were nervous seemed to have found a solution to the problem in an instant:

Use grain to replace corvee labor!

As long as this tax rate is not too powerful, anyone is willing to use tax collection instead of corvee labor!

The new Qianhu Lord is unwilling to go back on his word, which shows that his character is excellent, he will do what he says and will definitely regret it. However, since we don’t want this corvee service, we must take the initiative and explain to Qianhu Lord that it is not that Qianhu Lord goes back on his word, but that we are willing to take the initiative to pay grain. Well, Qianhu Lord, we already know your character. This is not your fault, but that we asked you to do this, and you don’t need to blame yourself.

So, Chen Guoxi, Mao Sanye and other old men came forward first to convey the voices of the masses to Zhang Zhun. The two old men did not know the inside story, and seriously proposed to Zhang Zhun not to issue the "Correser Service Order", but to change some details of the "Correser Service Order" and the "Military Field Order". The villagers were willing to pay some food every month to replace this labor service. As for the standards for raising grain, please discuss it. In short, no matter what, this labor service should be done.

Zhang Zhun felt quite guilty inside, but he didn't look on the surface, and he had to pretend to be embarrassed and said, "But in this way, I broke my promise..."

Master Mao San hurriedly said, "This is not an adult who breaks his promise, it is our strong request! Different, completely different!"

Zhang Zhun felt more and more ashamed.

I felt a little guilty when I deceived two straightforward old men for this matter. I would have thought it carefully at the beginning, so such a thing would not have happened. However, with these two old men coming forward, his goal was easily achieved.

Therefore, Zhang Zhun readily accepted the suggestions of the people and no longer issued the so-called "Correser Order" and changed it to paying grain. After careful consideration, the tax rate was determined to be 40 kilograms of rice per mu. If other crops were paid, it would be converted at a certain proportion. This tax rate would be engraved on the stone tablet and would never be changed in the future!

After hearing this news, the military households finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tax rate is quite acceptable forty kilograms of rice per mu. At least, it is much easier than the three or even five days of labor service every month. So everyone expressed a warm welcome. It seems that it is easy for the Qianhu people to accept everyone's opinions humbly. They are really good people!

Soon, the huge stone tablet was erected at the entrance of Qianhuguan Hall. On the stone tablet, it was clearly stipulated that the land tax in the Fushan area was all forty kilograms of rice per mu, and other crops were converted separately. The monument was erected as a record and never changed! On the day the stone tablet was erected, many people came over and saw it in person, so they felt relieved.

When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Empire, he also recorded the tax rates. Unfortunately, his descendants did not pay attention to the stone tablets, and changed them arbitrarily, seriously overdrawing the credit of the court. The final result was that even other relatives in the royal family did not believe in the emperor. The ministers of the court held deep warnings about every behavior of the emperor. Ordinary people did not trust the court. Apart from eunuchs, the emperor simply had no relatives. This was probably the sorrow of the emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, high! It's really high!" In a place where there was no one, Wang Mingyu quietly gave Zhang Zhun a thumbs up and admired Zhang Zhun to the extreme. The rumors about corvee service were naturally operated by a few of them and deliberately released them. As for the principle, refer to the rumors before some units in later generations gave out the year-end bonus.

"Sir, it's amazing! It's amazing!" Liu Hang was also convinced and exclaimed.

Hou Shanping also smiled and said nothing, nodding his head.

Not to mention Yang Liren and Liu Baoyu.

Originally, they all thought that this grain-paying storm would be more or less dissatisfied with some people. They were mentally prepared to do ideological work with these people. However, no matter how they do ideological work, it would always have an impact on Zhang Zhun's prestige. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun made a "Corvey Service Order" out of thin air, which made the military households take the initiative to ask for grain. If they did not pay, they would not agree!

"This is not the kingly way, so I'll use it less in the future."

"The way is to be far-sighted and far-sighted!"

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently and said with a serious expression.

Some tips learned from later generations have easily helped him achieve the goal of collecting food. However, such means can only be used once or twice. If you use them too much, others will naturally see it. Don’t think that others are fools and are smart. Once you see through it, the effect will only backfire. When formulating laws and regulations in the future, far-sightedness and far-sightedness are the king. No matter how superb the methods are, they will always be a replenishment and fall into a inferior position. A skilled person does not need to replenish the pot at all!

"We'll be taught!"

The few people who understand the inside story naturally agreed repeatedly.

The slogan of "equal land and exemption from taxes" became "equal land and exemption from labor", which did not stop foreign military households from joining. Every day, there are still hundreds of people who escape quietly from Lingshan Guard and Aoshan Guard. In fact, as long as the word "equal land" is already attractive enough. In this day, who doesn't want to have his own land?

After putting down this worries, Zhang Zhun became much more relaxed and had time to harass Xue Ningying. The little girl was determined to write a book called "The Encyclopedia of the Ming Dynasty", which made Zhang Zhun admire her. An aunt, a sister, a boat building, and a book writing, and Zhang Zhun couldn't accept it.

When Zhang Zhun came to Xue Ningying, this little girl was practicing calligraphy hard! The little girl was from a serious family of scholars and had a very strong sense of bookishness. Unless there were no conditions, she had to insist on reading and writing every day. In the words of later generations, she was definitely a first-class three-good student.

"Brother Yulin, why are you here?"

Seeing Zhang Zhun arrive, Xue Ningying greeted her with a smile.

Yang Yinghan holds financial power in his hands and takes good care of the Xue sisters. In addition to insisting that they live with her, Yang Yinghan never stings with what they need. The food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all aspects of the conditions have gradually improved. The four treasures of the study that had never been before are now fully equipped. The quality is quite good. I even found a few books from somewhere, made a room, and made a small study.

Because she had not finished practicing calligraphy, the little girl did not laugh at Zhang Zhun. After saying hello, she continued to lower her head to practice calligraphy. Although she was young, her hand calligraphy was quite beautiful. Zhang Zhun looked at it for a while and then walked away. Nothing else, he couldn't even grab the brush. Standing next to him, he looked at a future female calligrapher who was walking in a dragon and a snake, which was really uncomfortable.

We are invisible and leave!

Unexpectedly, when Xue Ningying turned around, she shouted happily: "Brother Yulin, don't leave!"

Zhang Zhun turned around and said casually: "Is there anything I need to ask me for? Didn't you teach me how to write?"

Xue Ningying blinked her bright big eyes innocently, her mouth slightly raised, with a shy smile of a little shy smile, and said seriously: "That's right! Sister Yinghan said, if you have time, just practice brush calligraphy with me! Otherwise, you can practice with my aunt! But my aunt said that she has no intention to teach you! Then I will only teach you! Don't say that I am a little bitch!"

Zhang Zhun laughed in silence.

How old is she? She actually wants to be her own master!

However, she, as a master, deserved it completely.

Fushan Institute is the jurisdiction of the garrison station, and it is basically a farmer and a martial artist. There are not many people who can read the word, and even fewer people can write good characters. Hou Shanping claims to be a literati, but in fact, his handwriting is not very good. Every time Hou Shanping posts an announcement, even he feels ashamed. As for Liu Hang and Wang Mingyu... these two guys are almost the same as picking up brushes and chopsticks. The characters they write are almost the same as those they can understand.

The three great literati who were known as the birth of Xia Zong are really different from heaven and earth compared to those of Xue Ningying, who came from a scholarly family... Well, it's a bit exaggerated. However, if Hou Shanping was asked to be Zhang Zhun's teacher, Hou Shanping would definitely refuse in shame. He couldn't afford to lose that person!

Zhang Zhun felt that he still needed to practice brush calligraphy. He did not require that he write well, as long as he wrote neatly and clearly, it was enough. However, he had never practiced brush calligraphy before, and now he started with a piece of white paper. You can imagine what the characters he wrote looked like. Grasping a brush is not like grabbing a gun, just have strength! That is skillful!
