504 Tax resistance

Zhao Mingyi took the blade and completely dismembered the torso of the big bird, his upper body was covered with blood. Next to the ground, he placed one by one feather and one bone after another. The bird's eyes were finely dug out by the blade, and even some blood vessels were visible. Zhao Mingyi used a detachment attitude to deal with the giant beast. When Zhao Mingyi was doing this with half of his body with blood, everyone around him was vaguely afraid. I don't know if he was afraid of the resurrection of the dead monster or Zhao Mingyi.

In short, Zhao Mingyi was very disappointed. This demon killing seemed to be just a hero killing monsters in Greek mythology. The gap between himself and these people who thought they were mortals was still not broken, and perhaps it could not be broken. The physical fitness, which was extremely different, separates the communication between the thinking and thinking of the material world.

After Zhao Mingyi recorded all the meat categories, he recorded it in his notebook and drew a hook on a map, indicating that there were no monsters in the area where the eagle was active. This bird is the highest ruler of the food chain in the region. At this stage, Zhao Mingyi has begun to think about his impact on the biological chain.

Because Zhao Mingyi found that he had an imbalance between himself and the monsters in this world.

Because the monsters have no resistance to themselves, Zhao Mingyi still doesn't know what the human-shaped monsters recorded in the classics look like, but they are still beast monsters, and they are too lazy to use their brains. They can't be said to have no brains. Their brain capacity and intelligence are no less than humans, and they occasionally use some tricks. But most of the time they eat, they are lazy to sleep in the cave.

Zhao Mingyi was observing the world all the time, thinking and summarizing the places he observed, and after locking in the predation target, he made preparations for a month in order to make a plan. After a month of preparation, a month of planning, and a month of preparation, he could naturally crush the monster that had been sleeping for a month.

Originally, he surpassed monsters in intelligence and tools, but now Zhao Mingyi has also undergone amazing changes in physique.

Zhao Mingyi is now changing at a terrifying speed. Because Zhao Mingyi found that his recent appetite has increased almost exponentially in recent months. Organic substances quickly remained in various parts of his body as if they were compressed. Then they quickly disappeared into his body. Zhao Mingyi felt that his body was connected to the dark matter part and turned matter into stacking speed. Zhao Mingyi felt that this was no longer like digestion, but directly erased the mass of organic matter.

Zhao Ming had seen the scene of the competition in the sect. He knew the situation of the outstanding disciples in the sect. If he used the disciples in the sect as reference, Zhao Mingyi could use weakness to describe these brothers and brothers. Of course, he could also give the word weakness to his elders. Now the only possible danger that Zhao Mingyi had to worry about was to be beaten by the world. After completely dismantling the eagle, Zhao Mingyi called the carriage back and began to decide on the next plan. It would be better to be beaten by the world and tear the society apart before being beaten.

After returning to the village, Zhao Mingyi learned about the news that he was going to be taxed. Well, in general, the mountain villages will not be taxed. However, this time, the big men in the county were very satisfied with the crop harvest in this area. At the same time, considering the reasons why the mountain villagers were angry and disobedient to education, they were ready to bring the army to collect taxes.

Although the aristocratic families in the capital are full of benevolence and politics to govern the world, Zhao Mingyi understood that the so-called benevolence and politics for scholars and officials in the field of "herdsmanship" is a very low standard. That is, to leave most people in the plains with the strength to reproduce and grow farmland. In addition, farmers should not think of other surplus grains. With surplus grains, they will have other ideas and become unruly people engaged in industry and commerce.

As for the surplus grains of the unruly people, most of them were eaten by the literati and officials. After eating this part, they would be left to part of the imperial power. Of course, the literati and officials will grow larger with time, and the two sides will quarrel. This time, the national teacher in the imperial capital can start a quarrel, which is actually the struggle between imperial power and scholar power.

The literati and officials often argued with the imperial power, but also against industry and commerce. The most important key to the feudal system turning into a capitalist system is not the commercial trade volume. It depends on whether the population supported by industry and commerce accounted for the majority and whether a group of interests has formed. It is easy for Europe to convert capitalism because the rise of the petty-civilian class engaged in industry and commerce.

The reason why Confucian ruled the country was the last one, and merchants were the first to be the ones. They suppressed not big merchants, and the servants and slaves under their own hands were the things that big merchants did in that era.

He suppressed merchants but the possibility of farmers engaging in commercial activities. When farmers have surplus grain in their hands (in order not to scatter the grain in their hands), they will naturally carry out commercial activities. This is the petty class. A large number of people began to engage in business and business life, and a large number of people were tied to the chain of interests. In order to make a flood of ideas of mutual cooperation between industry and commerce, the rise of the petty class and the impact on the structure of human society was considered to be the germination of capitalism.

In the late Ming Dynasty, commercial wealth increased, and from the perspective of the total population bound by industry and commerce, it did not have a decisive impact on the old society. Such capitalism was actually very powerless.

The villages in the mountains occupied by Zhao Mingyi are considered to be bound to industry and commerce. Many people are staring at the factory to raise wages and factories, rather than farmland. This is the beginning of capitalism. From the perspective of living habits and production habits, a group of special people have been independent.

In normal times, grain output is very low and monsters appear. During the slavery period, slave owners could only rely on catching slaves to obtain benefits at most. Letting Confucian scholars manage it means to exert kindness in the year of disaster and collect taxes as much as possible in the year of good fortune, which is called enriching the warehouse.

This is the biggest difference between the small peasant economy and the industrial economy government. The small peasant economy government focuses on money and grain, and wishes that as soon as the small peasant economy has produced it, they will send officials to transport the grain from the fields to the official warehouse.

The government of the industrial economy controls all aspects of everyone's consumption by controlling the currency. For them, as long as the market is controlled well, all industrial products enter the market, taxes are required to be drawn by a percentage, and fiscal taxes will be removed from everyone's consumption. Managers in the industrial era do not need Confucians to "understand the people's sentiments" to observe the amount of surplus grain in the people's homes to formulate collection policies. As long as the people participate in production and consumption, they will inevitably pay taxes to the ruling government.

Zhao Mingyi is obviously the latter. Through fixed-issuance grain coupons, he has controlled grain consumption and released the consumption of pots, pans, and industrial products. Recently, he has been studying how to produce iron and vitamin formulas with accurate proportions to stimulate everyone to further increase their production for consumption (the ratio of metals and organic matter was experimented by Li Er. Most people obviously cannot absorb quickly like Li Er, but it can also absorb slowly.)

So when I heard that someone in this world wanted to come over and scrape a layer of oil on his own land according to the feudal arrangement. Zhao Mingyi's reaction was hostile.

Zhao Mingyi: "The industrial products you don't buy, and you still want to come and pump food directly from my territory? I didn't use my gun to blast your door, you came to me."

Zhao Mingyi is very careful about food. Because the manpower is too lacking. In order to mobilize enough manpower, Zhao Mingyi has not even formed a traditional army, because the army consumes too much manpower. When a young and middle-aged man completes training, three young and middle-aged people need to provide supplies for him. If the army conducts live-fire training, the consumption will be higher. At present, this small social cluster cannot be stormed at all. Zhao Mingyi has brought women into workshops for manpower. Now he is trying to use steam engines to replace animal power.

Now Qingshan Industrial Zone (Workshop Area) produces 45 tons of steel per month. The steel has laid a rail and connected to four villages. The latest chemical reactor can produce 40 kilograms of nitric acid per day. This productivity is to form a battalion (300 people) army. Without these 300 people does not mean that there is no destructive force here. Zhao Mingyi himself has the strongest power to release. Zhao Mingyi came to the factory and gave a little instructions, and the workers in the factory were immediately excited.

Then a manual production line was modified, and some weapons exclusive to Zhao Mingyi were made. Iron-cast grenades were made in batches, three meters long and weighing 30 kilograms. Special guns were also made. This thing should be considered a cannon on the earth. Only Zhao Mingyi could carry it as a rifle. The amount of arms produced could not support the fire of an army, but it was enough for Zhao Mingyi. It was really necessary to tear off his face. Zhao Mingyi had already planned to carry these guns. When a few months old Yinbi, he held a gun to the young men and the princes in Kyoto, the emperors and princes named one by one. As for the sword, in Zhao Mingyi's heart, the sword was for killing and the sword was invisible. "Sword" represents the method of violent solution to problems, which is the means that he had to use when his goals could not be completed.

While preparing for the war with one hand, Zhao Mingyi was collecting intelligence with the other hand. As more information returned, Zhao Mingyi learned more about the tax collection team. The army of the collection team was transferred back from the north. He called two hundred people in the Death Bone Camp, which were all bloody soldiers who had fought in the north.

These soldiers were not just about collecting taxes, but also harmed women, smashed a few times, or even killed two unruly people to vent. The generals in the army agreed to the county officials' request, obviously there were reasons why they wanted to indulge the soldiers in their hands. Because the soldiers of the feudal army were under the pressure of forced control for a long time, if they did not indulge, they would roar.

This news made Zhao Ming laugh: "It turns out that he has become a cesspool for solving the problem. On the one hand, the pressure of the soldiers in the war will be paid, and on the other hand, we will collect a tax. It's both right."

Finally, Zhao Mingyi checked the situation in his village and understood the whole story. Because in recent years, the dignitaries in the city despised the unruly people in the mountains and did not come to collect money.

Now the people in the high hall are obviously thinking this way, "I'll make a lot of money this year. I don't care about this place in the future, let it rest for a few years. When it's worth scrambling, I'll get it again." It seems that Zhao Mingyi made the oil and water here look enough, so he attracted them.
