Chapter 426: Big Brother Zhang Returns Home(1/3)
Work harder!
Hey!
Let’s push together!
Hey!
After the snow, the sky clears up.
sunny.
A team of hundreds of officers and soldiers.
Driving mules and horses and pushing carts, they headed toward Tiger King Town in a mighty manner.
clang clang clang...
The sound of gongs and drums.
A pioneer shouted from the front: "Everyone in Tiger King Town, come out, the government's relief food is here."
"Food, where is the food?"
Shouts are heard.
Every household went out and looked at the officers and soldiers expectantly: "Yes, officers and soldiers, people from the imperial court are here."
"Oracle."
"It's snowing heavily and disasters are endless."
"Special order, local prefectures and counties open their offices to release grain to stabilize people's hearts."
"We further order that the national grain tax be reduced or exempted for one year. In areas with serious disasters, the tax will be reported to the imperial court and the tax will be reduced or reduced for one to three years as appropriate."
The master stepped forward and read out the imperial edict.
Then the county soldiers lined up in two rows, guarding hundreds of carts of grain, and loudly said: "The imperial court is aware of everyone's suffering, but it has been snowing heavily in the past few days and transportation is inconvenient. There is really no way to transport it downwards."
"Now that the snow has passed and the sky is clear, the official roads have been cleared."
"In each household, the chief of the security department, the chief of the neighborhood, and the mayor of the town will come forward and nod lightly on the head."
"Each person is divided into ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, five kilograms of beans, and five taels of salt to relieve local water and fire."
Hear such a will.
Everyone's eyes filled with tears and they all muttered: "Your Majesty is thinking of us. What a wonderful court this is."
Rice, noodles, beans.
A total of twenty kilograms.
Not much to say.
But this is something everyone has. It’s not difficult to save some food and stick to it for a month or two.
Moreover, the imperial court issued a decree to reduce or exempt grain taxes for next year.
This is a real benefit. After all, 20% of an acre of land must be paid as grain tax, also known as ten taxes and two taxes.
This part of the exemption now is the benefit that falls into the mouths of the people.
If you are a homesteader.
The food that fed five people last year can feed seven people this year.
If you don’t have a field, you are a tenant farmer of someone else’s family.
When dividing grain, you and the landlord can each share an additional 10%, which will make things better than last year.
"The food of the world."
"Take it from the people and use it for the people."
"With these twenty kilograms of grain, plus the winter grain prepared by each family, even if there is a shortage of grain next spring due to snowstorms, the people will not be unable to live."
Zhang Heng was walking on the street, looking at the villagers who were laughing and carrying food home. He turned back to Hu Mengmeng and said: "In the spring of next year, I am going to abolish the mountain ban and allow the mountain people to go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine.
Logging, what do you think?"
Hu Mengmeng is dressed in black.
Hitting Ha Qie, he held Zhang Heng's clothes: "Will it affect our eating of pigs?"
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Hunting and logging are all planned. Normally, we are only allowed to go up the mountain to pick fungus, mountain mushrooms, wild vegetables, dig bamboo shoots, etc. We will not let them damage the mountain."
Hu Mengmeng was top-heavy and drowsy: "You decide, at worst I will eat less pigs."
Zhang Heng picked up Hu Mengmeng and said, "It's so early in the morning. Why are you so sleepy? Why did you roll in the snow at night?"
Hu Mengmeng doesn’t speak.
Transformed into the form of a little tiger, lying in Zhang Heng's arms and sleeping soundly.
Saw her sleeping.
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly and thought to himself: "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Are other tigers like this too?"
"Fourth..."
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly there was a shout in the distance.
Following the sound, I saw Brother Zhang running over here panting: "Fourth Brother, Brother, Brother is back."
"Brother?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
The Zhang family has four brothers and sisters, and he is the youngest.
Next to Brother Zhang is Brother Zhang, who must be in his early twenties this year.
But two years ago.
Brother Zhang said he wanted to go out for a living, but there was no news after he left and he never came back.
Two years have passed now.
Everyone thought he died outside. Even Zhang Heng did not expect that Brother Zhang would come back one day.
"Is it because you can't survive outside?"
With this in mind, Zhang Heng followed Brother Zhang back home.
We just arrived at the door.
I saw four people standing outside the door.
Brother Zhang's eyesight is shallow and he can't tell the level of these people.
Zhang Heng is different.
With just one glance, it was discovered that these four people were breathing continuously and had broad bones. At first glance, they looked like top-notch masters.
"Second brother, is the fourth brother back?"
Didn't enter the door.
Laughter came from the courtyard, and then a young man wearing white clothes and wearing sapphire around his waist walked out. He looked at Zhang Heng with a smile on his face: "Fourth brother, do you still recognize me?"
Zhang Heng looked up.
The visitor looked to be in his twenties, and between his brows, he looked somewhat similar to Brother Zhang.
Although he no longer had the impression of the eldest brother of the Zhang family in his mind, it was not difficult to tell from his appearance that he must be a relative of his.
"Brother..."
Zhang Heng yelled, and then asked with some confusion: "What have you been doing all these years..."
Brother Zhang smiled and said: "Two years ago, I wanted to go to the county town to work for a while. Unexpectedly, before I arrived in the county town, I found my master on the roadside. He was seriously injured and leaned under a tree. I have been taking care of him.
Then when he gets better, I will follow him back to the mountain gate to learn skills."
"No, I have succeeded in cultivation, and I heard that the world is suffering from a snowstorm. I can't worry about you, so I said hello to Master and came to the mortal world to have a look."
Said.
Brother Zhang compared Zhang Heng's height again: "You were still a little kid when I left. Now you have wheels, right?"
Zhang Heng looked confused.
The man guarding the door was clearly a highly trained martial artist.
And he, this cheap brother, is also an internal martial arts practitioner. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he has joined a certain gang and has become a talkative person such as the leader or the leader of the gang.
But this is the view between the human world and the world of mortals.
It made him sound a little hesitant again.
Only those who practice Buddhism and Taoism can open their mouths in the human world and keep their mouths shut in the world of mortals.
To be continued...
