Chapter 708: It's Difficult
My thoughts turned away, but soon, as if I had seen something, the emperor's eyes suddenly condensed.
It seems...every household will bring more food to pay. After payment, there will often be excess food to bring back, and no one will distribute food with money...
If it is said that the autumn harvest is just shortly after, the people have no time to sell grain and have no money to distribute grain, it is unreasonable.
At the end of recent years, the peak period for the imperial grain collection in the imperial grain bank has passed. In a village, dozens of households, no one has paid the food for money...
The combination of these two points makes the meaning revealed seem intriguing.
It is clear how much grain you have to pay for a mu of land.
Although the imperial court counted the world's grain production every year, the amount of grain paid has not changed since the drafting.
If you have one acre of land at home, you will pay a proportion of grain for one acre of land.
It is impossible for a family to be unable to understand this.
At present, every household comes with more than the amount of grain paid...
"The court did not have regulations, and could use money to distribute food, why do you..."
The emperor called a man who had just paid the food and asked casually.
Hearing this, the man looked at the emperor and the others wearing wealthy clothes. After hesitating for a while, he subconsciously looked back at the officials who collected grain, shook his head and said, "If you discount money, it's not worth it!"
As soon as this statement was made, the emperor had no change in his expression. Li Ruolian and several officials from various departments also changed their expressions suddenly.
"Isn't it worth it?"
"The imperial grain banks have market price regulations every year, so why is it not worth it?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a cold flashed in his eyes.
The man was a little hesitant, but it seemed like a rare person to talk to, and he became bitter:
"It's not worth much money to sell grain. The county magistrate has to collect grain at the market price..."
The man talked happily, but the several imperial officials who were indifferent to the emperor, as the man poured bitterly, their faces became paler and the atmosphere became inexplicably solidified.
"If I want to say that officials are all full of bad water. The court said it well, but when it came to their hands, it changed..."
"Where do you think this is reasonable!"
The accompanying officials were trembling and shocked, the man sighed, but the emperor laughed.
In this world, if you want to see the real prosperity and well-being, you can only look at the data on paper.
I really tear open the layer of woven skin of the prosperous era, and there is no place to see it!
The man in front of him said it very clearly.
The court formulated the agricultural tax levied, the court formulated the market price of grain, and the court formulated the amount of grain discounted with money.
Of course, this is just a policy above and a countermeasure below.
The court formulated the agricultural tax ratio, so it would tamper with the public scale used to weigh the tax grain. One pound and a pound on the public scale. It would be normal to have a few pounds missing.
The court has formulated the market price of grain, and it is difficult for public scales to be normal. The court price has become a tool to damage public and private benefits.
In this link, officials, scholars, and merchants in the same place all benefited, but the only people who were injured were the common people.
The emperor seemed to have to be grateful that Daheng is now in a stable order, and these people dare not do too much, so they can only make small fuss within the framework he set.
At least, these people who should have lived well were not forced to survive.
The emperor should thank them!
The emperor asked again: "Will no one care about this kind of mess?"
"Whoever cares about it is the official, who can we find!"
The man sighed: "Two years ago, the fourth brother of the next village was dissatisfied with this, so he ran to the yamen to report to the official, but was thrown into prison and imprisoned for more than half a year. After coming out, he was crazy!"
The emperor asked again: "Didn't the imperial censor often come here to inspect?"
The man was stunned and glanced at the emperor suspiciously: "Will the Censor come to our place where birds do not shit?"
The emperor was stunned, but then smiled again. He was still a little naive.
No matter how much he said, it seemed that it could not change this fact.
Even the lowest-level official is a great official to them. When they come back, they... can only bear it!
There is no way to resist, and there is nothing to do.
When this helpless accumulation reaches its limit and explodes directly, it is civil chaos, which is the prelude to the chaos in the world.
The emperor experienced and suppressed that chaotic time. At present, even if he was unwilling to admit his world, it seemed that this old path that had been passed countless times, and his Daheng still stepped on it steadily.
You know, this...is in Liao Province, and it is a place that the emperor has never stopped paying attention since the land was recovered.
A huge amount of money, material resources are invested every year, and countless inspection teams of various departments of the court every year...
The emperor glanced at the trembling and shocked minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the right censor of the Censorate. Without saying a word, he took a step directly and walked towards the official who collected the grain.
"What are you doing? You have to pay the food. Go back and queue up!"
Some yamen runners scolded him and went forward to block the emperor.
Li Ruolian quickly stepped forward and stopped the yamen runners. A token of the Jinyiwei directly hit the yamen runners' face.
"The Jinyiwei checks the matter, get out of here!"
The face of the yamen runners changed drastically, and the originally noisy scene of collecting food was instantly silent, and the eyes suddenly appeared on the emperor and his group.
"Big...Master..."
An official trotted over and looked at the emperor and his group with suspicion on his face.
The emperor ignored it and walked straight forward, picked up the scale head that weighed the grain public scale. An official subconsciously came to stop it. The bright blade directly put it on the official's neck.
"You dare to stop the Jinyiwei?"
Li Ruolian scolded again.
The emperor waved his hand and signaled Li Ruolian to retreat. He weighed the heavy weighing head. Then the emperor looked at the official in front of him.
According to the current strategy of restructuring Dahenglijia, the official at the first level of the township should be a township official.
It is obvious that the official in front of him is the main person in charge of collecting tax grains.
"I have taken this scale head away. You guys, change it!"
The word "I" is like an unprecedented thunder and thunder. The official in front of the emperor suddenly turned pale, his feet became soft, and he fell to the ground with a thunderous thunder, moist and stained the ground, and he had lost control of urine.
The emperor did not say a word, picked up the scale head and walked away.
Seeing this, the officials and soldiers who followed him hurriedly walked away.
Everything seemed calm, but everyone who followed knew that since the emperor was not as good as the previous inspection this time, he just let the local officials handle it themselves without saying anything.
That proves that this time, things will be difficult.
