Chapter 1,154 Happy New Year

"No, dad! It's... it's agricultural tax!"

The young man was so surprised that he stuttered.

"Agricultural tax? Why? The agricultural tax has been reduced again?"

The couple's eyes suddenly lit up.

The last time the tax was reduced, the lives of ordinary people, such as them, were much better than before, and they were all well-off.

If it is easier, the family's conditions will be more abundant!

"No! No...!"

The young man waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of joy.

"Isn't it that the agricultural tax lowered? Then why are you so happy?"

The couple was somewhat disappointed.

"It is indeed not a reduction in agricultural tax, but a direct reduction! No matter how much land we plant in the future, we will no longer need to pay taxes!"

The young man took a few deep breaths and finally explained the key points in the newspaper.

The couple was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, obviously not believing it, "Come on, how is this possible?"

"That's it! From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who does not collect agricultural taxes! Could it be that the country's land is free to be distributed to us?"

"Dad! It's true!"

The young man said confidently.

"But let it go, you guys are bullying us illiterate!"

The man thought his son was looking for him and slapped the back of the head, turned around and was about to enter the inner room.

"Dragon...Dragon, come, look at the contents in the newspaper!"

In order to prove that he was not lying, the young man quickly greeted his younger brother who was playing in the house.

With the popularity of compulsory education, my younger brother also began to read and recognize words.

Although I don’t recognize much now, it’s enough to read a title!

"Here, brother...!"

Without saying a word, my younger brother ran over and read according to the title pointed by my older brother, "Exempt agricultural exchange!"

"What's right or wrong? That word is pronounced as tax!"

The young man frowned and stressed.

"Oh! Oh! Haha...!"

My younger brother scratched his head awkwardly and read it word by word, "Agricultural tax exemption! Agricultural tax exemption? Does it mean that you don't have to pay taxes to farm in the future?"

After reacting, I quickly snatched the newspaper and picked up the words I knew and started reading them.

"Dad, mother, have you heard it? I didn't lie to you. It was the decision made by the court. Now everyone is talking about this matter. It probably won't take long. The government should notify you! We will not need to pay taxes when we farm in the future!"

A younger brother proved that he was not lying, and the young man was straight and straight.

"I really don't have to pay taxes? We're not dreaming, are we?"

However, the couple couldn't believe it and looked surprised.

"It's true, it has been published in the newspaper, and the entire Qin people can see it. Can this be fake?"

The young man smiled confidently.

"My God, I really didn't expect that I, Zhang Laosan, could catch up with such a good thing!"

"Who said no! I was glad that we met Mingjun and reduced taxes for us, but I didn't expect that we would be exempted from taxes now! If this were in the past, I would never dare to think about it!"

After confirming that this matter was true, the couple was so excited that they burst into tears, and they just hugged their heads and cried.

This is something that has never happened to the Qin Dynasty in thousands of years!

"Thank you to all this!"

"Yes, yes, it was His Majesty who led us to this day and made our lives better and better!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"

The family left the door and knelt directly in the snow outside the door, kowtowing towards the direction of the palace.

Even though their foreheads were covered with snow, their hearts were as warm as a stove!

Except for them, almost all the people of Daqin were talking about this matter.

"You really don't have to pay taxes for farming in the future?"

"You don't even have to pay for food? You don't need a single pill?"

"Is the land really white for us?"

"Your Majesty's wiseness..."

The news spread and the people were grateful to the court and Ying Feiyu.

Especially those alien races, I wish the Qin Dynasty could invade early for decades, so that they could catch up with the good times when they were born without paying taxes for farming.

In the future, no matter how much the grain you grow from home is, it will be your own, and you don’t have to hand it over to the treasury.

At the same time, some people also questioned, "What should we do if we don't pay food if there is a disaster and there is no harvest?"

"You just keep your heart in your stomach! We just don't hand over the food, not destroying all the food! The annual grain output has not changed! If the imperial court needs to store grain, it can buy it from us for money!"

"Buy? That is to say, not only do we not have to hand over the grain, but the court also has to spend money to buy grain from us?"

The people who were confused showed an incredible expression.

"It can be understood so!"

The people who explained it nodded confidently.

"Good guy! Times have really changed!"

The people were very excited.

For a time, exemption of agricultural taxes became the hottest topic in Daqin.

No matter where you go, you can hear the sounds related to it!

Even the shopkeepers who did business were discussing with each other, "On the first day of the year, the court exempted the agricultural tax!"

"Yes! I guessed that His Majesty would make a big move after he ascended the throne, but I didn't expect that it would be such a great thing!"

"Exemption of agricultural tax is a good thing for those farmers, but it doesn't matter much to our businessmen!"

"You are very wrong! The exemption of agricultural tax is inseparable for us!"

"How do you say this?"

"You think! When we open the business, we face ordinary people, right? Only when they live a wealthy life can we come to visit us! If they are poor and useless, how can they spend money? Whose money will we make?"

"Hmm? It seems that it's true that you say this! Only when the people are rich can we be rich!"

"It seems that this exemption from agricultural tax has a significant impact on all walks of life!"

"Of course...!"

Some businessmen thought it had nothing to do with them at first.

But after other people's analysis, this matter is not only related to them, but also inseparable.

This time, the atmosphere of joy was pushed to climax again!

When the Black Ice Platform guards reported the news to Ying Zheng, he was keeping warm by the stove and laughed out loud, "This kid really dares to think and do!"

"Brother Zheng is not afraid of the difficulty in collecting agricultural tax after canceling it?"

Lian'er was quite surprised.

Before, no matter what my son did, Brother Zheng would have problems.

This time, when such a big disturbance was made, the agricultural tax was directly exempted. Brother Zheng was not only not angry, but instead laughed out loud!

"Now, most of the taxes in the imperial court come from customs and industry and commerce. There are not many agricultural taxes, so it doesn't matter whether they are collected or not!"

Ying Zheng rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, why didn't Brother Zheng cancel it when he was in power?"

Lian'er wonders.

"So I say this kid dares to think and do...!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I did think about it at the beginning, but I looked forward to it, afraid that something would happen in the future, so I would rely on agricultural taxes. The people would have opinions when they were imposed! And the old ministers in the court were stubborn and would definitely not agree to this, so they did not propose it!"

Unexpectedly, after my son ascended the throne, he directly made drastic moves to deal with this matter.

"I guess this matter was also carefully considered by Fei Yu!"

Lian'er must have believed in her son.

"Well! The ministers can make this decision by going to court on the first day. This kid really has two tricks!"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Usually, such major events have to be discussed by the confidant, weighing the pros and cons, and then being passed, then being taken to the court to discuss.

In this way, these confidants can help them deal with those who are opposed.
